Commitments and Contingencies	8. Commitments and Contingencies As of February 28, 2019, Griffin had committed purchase obligations of approximately $14,249, principally related to the completion of construction of two industrial/warehouse buildings totaling approximately 283,000 square feet in Concord, North Carolina, as well as improvements at other Griffin properties. On January 25, 2016, Griffin entered into an Option Purchase Agreement, which was subsequently amended on January 22, 2019 (as amended, the “Simsbury Option Agreement”). Under the terms of the Simsbury Option Agreement, Griffin granted the buyer an exclusive option to purchase approximately 280 acres of undeveloped land in Simsbury, Connecticut for approximately $7,700. Through November 30, 2018, the buyer paid $260 of option fees to extend its option period through January 25, 2019. In fiscal 2018, the buyer received approval from Connecticut’s regulatory authority for the buyer’s planned use of the land, which is to generate solar electricity. Subsequent litigation challenging the approval was settled thereby allowing the buyer to use the land to be purchased as planned. On January 24, 2019, the buyer exercised its option to purchase the land under the Simsbury Option Agreement. As per the terms of the Simsbury Option Agreement, closing on the land sale is required to take place within 90 days from the date the buyer exercised its option to purchase the land. There is no guarantee that the sale of land as contemplated under the Simsbury Option Agreement will be completed under its current terms, or at all. On January 11, 2018, Griffin entered into an agreement to purchase an approximately 14 acre parcel of undeveloped land in the Lehigh Valley of Pennsylvania (the “Lehigh Valley Land”). Subsequently, the agreement was amended to reduce the purchase price from $3,600 in cash to $3,100 in cash and extend the due diligence period. If the transaction closes, Griffin plans to construct an approximately 156,000 square foot industrial/warehouse building on the Lehigh Valley Land. The closing of this purchase, anticipated to take place in fiscal 2019, is subject to several conditions, including obtaining all governmental approvals for Griffin’s development plans for the Lehigh Valley Land. There is no guarantee that this transaction will be completed under its current terms, or at all. On June 26, 2018, Griffin entered into an agreement for the purchase of approximately 36 acres of undeveloped land in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina in the greater Charlotte area (the “Mecklenburg Land”) for approximately $4,700 in cash. On December 5, 2018, Griffin entered into an agreement for the purchase of approximately 9 acres of undeveloped land (the “Additional Mecklenburg Land”) that is adjacent to the Mecklenburg Land for approximately $900 in cash. If acquired, the Additional Mecklenburg Land would be combined with the Mecklenburg Land, enabling Griffin to construct more industrial/warehouse space than could be constructed on the Mecklenburg Land only. Griffin plans to construct approximately 500,000 square feet of industrial/warehouse space on the Mecklenburg Land and Additional Mecklenburg Land combined parcels. Closings on the purchases of the Mecklenburg Land and the Additional Mecklenburg Land are subject to several conditions, including obtaining all governmental approvals for Griffin’s development plans. Griffin would only complete the purchase of the Additional Mecklenburg Land if the Mecklenburg Land is acquired. The closings on the purchases of the Mecklenburg Land and the Additional Mecklenburg Land are not anticipated to take place until the third quarter of fiscal 2019. There is no guarantee that purchases of the Mecklenburg Land and the Additional Mecklenburg Land will be completed under their current terms, or at all. From time to time, 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.
