10.    Subsequent Events

 

In accordance with FASB ASC 855, “Subsequent Events,” Griffin has evaluated all events or transactions occurring after August 31, 2016, the balance sheet date, and noted that there have been no such events or transactions which would require recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarter ended August 31, 2016, other than the disclosures herein.

 

On September 13, 2016, Griffin and Webster Bank agreed to terms on a refinancing of the 2015 Webster Mortgage that would increase the loan amount up to an additional $13,000 and add 5210 Jaindl to the mortgage collateral, subject to the entry into definitive agreements. The refinanced mortgage loan would have a new ten year term with principal payments based on a twenty-five year amortization schedule, and interest at the one month LIBOR rate plus 1.70%. Griffin expects to enter into a new interest rate swap agreement with Webster Bank that, when combined with the existing interest rate swap agreements related to the 2015 Webster Mortgage, would fix the rate on the entire balance of the refinanced mortgage loan for its full term. There is no guarantee that the refinancing of the 2015 Webster Mortgage will be completed in accordance with the current terms, or at all.

 

On September 22, 2016, Griffin closed on the previously contracted sale of approximately 29 acres of an approximately 45 acre land parcel in Griffin Center in Bloomfield, Connecticut for approximately $3,750 and an estimated pretax gain of approximately $3,100. An additional approximately 15 acres of that land parcel, much of which is wetlands with very limited development potential, was donated to an affiliate of the purchaser at the time of the closing. Griffin retained approximately one acre, which is adjacent to other undeveloped land owned by Griffin. The net cash proceeds from the sale of approximately $3,500 were placed in escrow for the potential acquisition of a replacement property as part of a Section 1031 like-kind exchange for income tax purposes. If a replacement property is not purchased with the proceeds from this land sale within the time frame required under IRS regulations regarding Section 1031 like-kind exchanges, the proceeds placed in escrow would be returned to Griffin.
