24. In November 2012, one of our joint ventures in which the Company has a 50% interest sold an option to acquire a parcel of land for approximately $5.5 million.  The total cost to the buyer was approximately $11.1 million and on which the broker commission was paid.  The son of Mr. Pellerito, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer, was employed by the brokerage firm that handled the transaction and received less than $0.2 million as a commission for the transaction.  The Chief Operating Officer did not have a financial interest in the brokerage firm involved in the transaction nor did he receive any portion of the commission paid to his son.
