Shadow View Land and Farming LLC

During the 2012, Mr. James J. Cotter, our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and controlling shareholder, contributed $2.5 million of cash and $255,000 of his 2011 bonus as his 50% share of the purchase price of a land parcel in Coachella, California and to cover his 50% share of certain costs associated with that acquisition. This land is held in Shadow View Land and Farming, LLC, in which Mr. Cotter owns a 50% interest. We are the managing member of Shadow View Land and Farming, LLC. However, as Mr. Cotter is considered to be our controlling shareholder, pursuant to FASB ASC 810-10-05, we have consolidated Mr. Cotter’s interest in the property and its expenses with that of our interest and shown his interest as a noncontrolling interest.
