SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS	16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS In January 2015, the real estate loan was amended from monthly principal and interest payments to monthly interest-only payments effective February 1, 2015. All other terms of the loan remained unchanged. On January 30, 2015, Kaupulehu Developments received a percentage of sales payment of $640,000 from the sale of two lots within Phase II of Increment I. Financial results from the receipt of this payment will be reflected in Barnwell’s quarter ending March 31, 2015. In January 2015, there was an oil and salt water spill at one of our operated oil properties in Alberta. Total clean up expenses are expected to be approximately $880,000. Barnwell’s working interest in the well is 58% and we expect to recover monies from the other working interest owners for their share of the costs. We have notified our insurance carrier of our intent to file a claim under our policy which has a deductible of approximately $220,000. The estimated impact of the spill will be reflected in Barnwell’s quarter ending March 31, 2015.
