Operating Obligations
In connection with the lease we executed upon our acquisition of Bear Mountain in September 2015, we agreed to fund the development of the property into an almond orchard. The development will include the removal of 274 acres of old grape vineyards, the installation of a new irrigation system, including the drilling of three new wells, and the planting of over 800 acres of new almond trees. The project is estimated to cost approximately $8.0 million and is expected to be completed during the three months ending December 31, 2016. As stipulated in the lease, we will earn additional rent on the total cost of the development project commensurate with the yield on the initial acquisition and based on the timing of related cash disbursement made by us. As of September 30, 2016, we have expended or accrued approximately $7.9 million related to this project; however, we are unable to estimate the total amount of additional rent to be earned related to this project at this time.
Litigation
We are not currently subject to any material known or threatened litigation.
