NOTE 16 – CONTINGENCIES

The Company and its subsidiaries periodically become defendants in certain claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. As of December 31, 2013, there were no material pending legal proceedings to which we or any of our subsidiaries are a party or which any of our properties are the subject.

On January 27, 2014, the Company’s former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Benj. A. Smith III, commenced legal action against the Company claiming that the Company breached an alleged employment agreement pursuant to which he claims entitlement to $20,833 monthly for a period of six years from the date of his resignation in February 2009.  Mr. Smith’s complaint seeks damages in an unspecified amount in excess of $25,000.  The Company expects to vigorously contest the action.
