Item 8.01      Other Events.

On January 30, 2013, the company renewed its $2,905,000 Highway 20 land loan and extended the maturity date to October 8, 2013.  The loan is secured by our Highway 20 property, which is zoned for 210 multifamily units and located in Cumming, Georgia less than a mile from the downtown area, which provides schools, shopping, restaurants and other entertainment and educational venues.  The Cumming area continues to experience solid growth with the expansion of the Northside Hospital complex, which employs more than 1,850 people, the city’s completion of a new three pool aquatic center and the recent opening a of satellite campus for the University of North Georgia.

The loan modification was subject to the lender’s review of a new appraisal of the Highway 20 property, which had a total appraised value of $6,100,000 or $29,048 per multifamily unit, including $5,000 per unit for the value of the previously paid sewer tap fees, resulting in a loan to value ratio of 48%.  As part of the loan extension and due to the increase in the appraised value of the Highway 20 property, the lender waived the scheduled requirement that we make a one-time principal reduction in the amount of $300,000 by February 15, 2013.  The loan continues to require fixed principal payments of $5,000 per month through the maturity date, and we established an $80,500 interest reserve to pay the monthly interest payments at the prime rate with a floor of 5.5% per annum.  The loan modification documents contain customary representations, covenants and default provisions, and the loan, for which our operating partnership is the borrower, continues to be guaranteed by Roberts Realty Investors, Inc.
