Future operating lease payments from tenants under all non-cancelable leases, excluding tenant reimbursement of expenses, for the remainder of 2013 and each of the five succeeding fiscal years and thereafter as of March 31, 2013, are as follows:

 

             

Period

  Tenant Lease
Payments
 
For the remaining nine months ending December 31:   2013   $ 2,298,560  
For the fiscal years ending December 31:   2014     875,113  
    2015     379,210  
    2016     320,109  
    2017     126,599  
    2018     —    
    Thereafter     —    

In accordance with the lease terms, substantially all operating expenses are required to be paid by the tenant; however, we would be required to pay real estate property taxes on the respective parcels of land in the event the tenants fail to pay them. The aggregate annual real estate property taxes for all parcels of land owned by us as of March 31, 2013, are approximately $304,000.

Concentrations

Credit Risk

Two of our eight leases are with a single tenant, Dole Food Company (“Dole”), which accounted for $647,080, or 70.8%, of the rental income recorded by us during the three months ended March 31, 2013. Rental income from Dole accounted for 79.5% of the total rental income recorded by us during the three months ended March 31, 2012. If Dole fails to make rental payments to us or elects to terminate any of its leases, and the land cannot be re-leased on satisfactory terms, there would be a material adverse effect on our financial performance and ability to continue operations. However, the parent company of Dole has guaranteed both of its leases. The financial statements of Dole can be found on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the “SEC”) website.

Geographic Risk

Six of our twelve farms are located in California. Rental income from our farms in California accounted for $795,541, or 87.0%, of the rental income recorded by us during the three months ended March 31, 2013. Rental income from our farms in California accounted for 97.9% of the total rental income recorded by us during the three months ended March 31, 2012. Our other farms, located in Florida, were purchased in October 2011 and August and September of 2012. Should an unexpected natural disaster occur where our properties are located, there could be a material adverse effect on our financial performance and ability to continue operations.
