During 2009, pursuant to the approval of all disinterested outside directors, the Company purchased 1.25 acres of river front property on the Columbia River in Washougal, Washington for a total cost of $1.5 million. The purchase was financed with cash of $1.0 million and a note payable of $500,000. The note payable is included in other long-term liabilities in the accompanying balance sheet and has been treated as a non-cash transaction for purposes of the statement of cash flows. Prior to his death on January 20, 2011, William W. Sherertz, previously the Company's Chief Executive Officer, had planned to construct and operate a restaurant on the property under a triple net ground lease between the Company and the LLC he had formed with an outside third party. Mr. Sherertz's estate now holds a majority interest in the LLC. The lease requires annual cash payments by the LLC of $25,000 through the end of 2011 and 5% of the restaurant's gross income, if any, thereafter through the end of the lease in December 2020. The cost of the property is included in the Company's other assets at December 31, 2011 and 2010. Mr. Sherertz's estate also holds approximately 25 percent of the outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock.
