NOTE 9 • MORTGAGES PAYABLE AND LINE OF CREDIT

Most of the properties owned by the Company serve as collateral for separate mortgage loans on single properties or groups of properties. The majority of these mortgages payable are non-recourse to the Company, other than for standard carve-out obligations such as fraud, waste, failure to insure, environmental conditions and failure to pay real estate taxes. As of July 31, 2014, the management of the Company believes there are no defaults or material compliance issues in regard to any mortgages payable. Interest rates on mortgages payable range from 2.40% to 8.25%, and the mortgages have varying maturity dates from the current fiscal year through July 1, 2036.

Of the mortgages payable, the balances of fixed rate mortgages totaled $971.3 million at July 31, 2014 and $977.2 million at April 30, 2014. The balances of variable rate mortgages totaled $45.4 million and $20.5 million as of July 31, 2014 and April 30, 2014, respectively. The Company does not utilize derivative financial instruments to mitigate its exposure to changes in market interest rates. Most of the fixed rate mortgages have substantial pre-payment penalties. As of July 31, 2014, the weighted average rate of interest on the Company's mortgage debt was 5.32%, compared to 5.37% on April 30, 2014. The aggregate amount of required future principal payments on mortgages payable as of July 31, 2014, is as follows:

Fiscal year ended April 30,	(in thousands)
2015 (remainder)	$	70,760
2016		92,893
2017		214,722
2018		113,386
2019		132,793
Thereafter		393,020
Total payments	$	1,017,574

In the table above, included in the approximately $214.3 million (as of July 31, 2014) of future principal payments on mortgages payable in fiscal year 2017 is a non-recourse $122.6 million CMBS loan, for which nine of the Company's commercial office properties serve as collateral and under which a special-purpose subsidiary of the Company is the borrower. This loan matures in October 2016. Because the loan amount significantly exceeds the Company's current estimate of the fair value of this nine-property portfolio, the Company contacted the master servicer to initiate discussions on various alternatives with regard to the loan. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2015, the Company was notified that the loan has been transferred to the special servicer. The Company cannot predict the outcome of discussions with the special servicer regarding the loan. Cash flow from the portfolio currently covers debt service on the loan, and to date the borrower is current on all payments under the loan.

In addition to the individual first mortgage loans comprising the Company's $1.0 billion of mortgage indebtedness, the Company also has a revolving, multi-bank line of credit with First International Bank and Trust, Watford City, North Dakota, as lead bank, which had, as of July 31, 2014, lending commitments of $75.0 million. This facility is not included in the Company's mortgage indebtedness total. As of July 31, 2014, the line of credit was secured by mortgages on 14 properties; under the terms of the line of credit, properties may be added and removed from the collateral pool with the agreement of the lenders. Participants in this credit facility as of July 31, 2014 included, in addition to First International Bank, the following financial institutions: The Bank of North Dakota; First Western Bank and Trust; Dacotah Bank; MidCountry Bank; Highland Bank; American State Bank & Trust Company; Town & Country Credit Union and United Community Bank. As of July 31, 2014, the line of credit had an interest rate of 4.75% and a minimum outstanding principal balance requirement of $12.5 million, and as of July 31, 2014 and April 30, 2014, the Company had borrowed $35.5 million and $22.5 million, respectively. The facility includes covenants and restrictions requiring the Company to achieve on a fiscal and calendar quarter basis a debt service coverage ratio on borrowing base collateral of 1.25x in the aggregate and 1.00x on individual assets in the collateral pool, and the Company is also required to maintain minimum depository account(s) totaling $6.0 million with First International, of which $1.5 million is to be held in a non-interest bearing account. As of July 31, 2014, the Company believes it was in compliance with the facility covenants.
