Item 1.01  

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.


On October 1, 2011, Blue Ridge Real Estate Company (the “Seller”) entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Phyllis Enfield Trust (the “Buyer”), whereby the Seller agreed to sell and convey, and the Buyer agreed to purchase and acquire from Seller, the property located at 22902 Interstate 10, Wallisville, Texas (the “Property”) for an aggregate purchase price of $1,911,410 (the “Purchase Price”).  The Agreement provides that Buyer will transfer to Seller all of its right, title and interest to the Property, subject to certain exceptions for, among other things, zoning ordinances, a lien for ad valorem taxes and certain title reservations which include the Reciprocal Access Easement Agreement dated September 29, 2004 and the rights of Jack in the Box Eastern Division , L.P. (the “Tenant”) under the Lease dated September 28, 2006 (the “Lease”), pursuant to which Seller leases the Property to the Tenant for the operation of a restaurant and under which the Tenant has a right of first refusal to purchase the Property (the “ROFR”).  The Agreement also provides that the Seller will assign and Buyer will assume the Lease .


The Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including a covenant by Seller to permit Buyer to inspect the Property until October 22, 2011 (such period, the “Inspection Period”).  Closing under the Agreement shall occur on or before the 45th day following expiration of the Inspection Period, and is subject to certain conditions, including, among other things, delivery by Seller of an estoppel certificate regarding the Lease.  


Pursuant to the Agreement, the Buyer is required to pay the Purchase Price by making a $50,000 deposit (the “Initial Deposit”) into an escrow account within three business days of the effective date of the Agreement.  The Buyer is required to increase the Initial Deposit by making an additional deposit of $50,000 (collectively, the “Escrow Deposit”) into the escrow account within 48 hours of the termination of the Inspection Period.  The balance of the Purchase Price shall be payable to Seller at closing (“Closing”).  Proceeds from the sale will be used for working capital purposes.


The Agreement provides for certain termination rights for Seller and Buyer.  Buyer may terminate the Agreement (i) in its sole discretion at any time prior to expiration of the Inspection Period; (ii) upon a breach of any representation or warranty of Seller prior to Closing; or (iii) if the sale of the Property is not consummated due to a material, uncured breach by Seller.  If Buyer terminates the Agreement on the occurrence of any of these events, the Escrow Deposit will be refunded to Buyer.  Seller may terminate the Agreement upon a material, uncured breach by Buyer prior to Closing. Upon such termination by Seller, Seller will retain the Escrow Deposit. The Agreement further provides that if the ROFR is exercised, the Agreement will automatically terminate and the Escrow Deposit will be refunded to Buyer.


The foregoing is only a summary of the Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by the text of the Agreement.  You are urged to read the Agreement in its entirety for a more complete description of the terms and conditions of the Agreement.  A copy of the Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
