Note 13 — Commitments and Contingencies

Environmental Matters

In connection with the acquisition of one of the Company’s properties located in Pinellas County, Florida, the Company assumed the liability to complete a site assessment and remediation of environmental contamination that resulted from a petroleum release at the marina site in late 2009. At acquisition, the Company recorded a liability of $150,000 with respect to the planned remedial action. Such liability was determined based on reasonably estimable costs of completing the actions defined in the work plan. As of March 31, 2013, a total of $58,000 has been expended with respect to the site assessment and remediation and the remaining $92,000 accrued at acquisition is included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Even with the Company’s best effort in estimating the costs, it is possible that additional testing and additional environmental monitoring and remediation will be required as part of the Company’s ongoing discussions with the Florida Department of Health, the agency contracted by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection to administer cases of petroleum contamination in Pinellas County, in which case additional expenses could exceed the current estimated liability. However, based on information known at March 31, 2013, the Company does not expect that such additional expenses would have a material adverse effect on the liquidity or financial condition of the Company.
