     In second quarter 2011, we acquired a non-performing loan from a financial institution for $21,137,000. The original loan commitment was $38,000,000 and the current principal balance outstanding is about $31,600,000. The loan matured in February 2010. The note is secured by a lien on 900 acres of developed and undeveloped real estate located near Houston, Texas designated for single-family residential and commercial development. We are not currently accruing interest and did not record any accretable yield at acquisition due to the non-performing status of the loan. We cannot estimate the anticipated future cash flows because the borrower is in bankruptcy.
     Notes receivable generally are secured by a deed of trust and generally due within three years.
     Receivables and accrued interest principally include miscellaneous operating receivables arising in the normal course of business.
