NOTE 10 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

In the normal course of its agricultural operations, the Company handles, stores, transports and dispenses products identified as hazardous materials. Regulatory agencies periodically conduct inspections and, currently, there are no pending claims with respect to hazardous materials.

 

Pursuant to cost-sharing agreements that have been entered into by participants in the Mojave Groundwater Bank, $625,000 in funds have been received in order to offset costs incurred in the environmental analysis of the Mojave Groundwater Bank. These funds may either be reimbursed or credited to participants’ participation in the Mojave Groundwater Bank and, accordingly, are fully reflected as deferred revenue as of June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024.

 

In conjunction with the 26-year right-of-way agreement with BLM with respect to the Company’s Northern Pipeline asset, the Company deposited approximately $420,000 towards a Performance and Reclamation Bond with the BLM which has been recorded in Other Assets.

 

The Company is from time to time involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. At this time, the Company is not aware of any other pending or threatened litigation that it expects will have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, liquidity, or operating results. Legal claims are inherently uncertain, however, and it is possible that the Company’s business, financial condition, liquidity and/or operating results could be adversely affected in the future by legal proceedings.
