14. Commitments and Contingencies

        As of November 30, 2015, Griffin had committed purchase obligations of approximately $8,251, principally for the construction of 5210 Jaindl Boulevard and the development of other Griffin properties.

        In the fiscal 2014 third quarter, Griffin entered into an agreement to sell approximately 30 acres of an approximately 45 acre land parcel of the undeveloped land in Griffin Center for a minimum purchase price of $3,250, subject to adjustment based on the actual number of acres conveyed. If this sale were to be completed, the development potential of the remaining unsold acreage of the land parcel, much of which is wetlands, will be severely limited. Completion of this transaction is subject to significant contingencies, including a period for due diligence by the purchaser, which does not expire until September 15, 2016. There is no guarantee that this transaction will be completed under its current terms, or at all.

        Griffin is involved, as a defendant, in various litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, based on the advice of legal counsel, the ultimate liability, if any, with respect to these matters is not expected to be material, individually or in the aggregate, to Griffin's consolidated financial statements.
