        As of November 30, 2014, Griffin had committed purchase obligations of approximately $6,492, principally for the construction of Griffin Land's approximately 280,000 square foot industrial building in the Lehigh Valley region of Pennsylvania and the development of other Griffin properties.

        In the fiscal 2014 third quarter, Griffin entered into an agreement to sell approximately 29 acres of an approximately 45 acre land parcel of the undeveloped land in Griffin Center for a purchase price of a minimum of $3,250, subject to adjustment based on the actual number of acres conveyed. Completion of this transaction is subject to significant contingencies, including due diligence by the purchaser which does not expire until fiscal 2016, and there is no guarantee that this transaction will be completed under the current terms, or at all.

        Griffin is involved, as a defendant, in various litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, based on the advice of legal counsel, the ultimate liability, if any, with respect to these matters is not expected to be material, individually or in the aggregate, to Griffin's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
