Contingencies
14. Contingencies:
 
There are various lawsuits and claims pending against the Company. It is the opinion of management that the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
If the Company sells, transfers, disposes of, or demolishes 25 Elm Place, Brooklyn, New York, then the Company may be liable to create a condominium unit for the loading dock. The necessity of creating the condominium unit and the cost of such condominium unit cannot be determined at this time.
 
Due to defective workmanship and breach of contract, the Company continues to pursue damages and return in full of a $376,467 deposit paid a contractor when work commenced to replace a roof on the Fishkill, New York building. There is a reasonable possibility the Company will not be paid in full and a charge to real estate operating expenses in the amount of $279,213 was recorded for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2016. Following initial court decisions in this matter, another $141,132 was charged to operating expenses as of October 31, 2016.
