COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

NOTE 15: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

We are involved from time to time in litigation on various matters, including disputes with tenants of owned properties, disputes arising out of agreements to purchase or sell properties, disputes arising out of our loan portfolio, negligence, and similar tort claims related to owned properties or employment related disputes. Given the nature of our business activities, these lawsuits are considered routine to the conduct of our business. The result of any particular lawsuit cannot be predicted, because of the very nature of litigation, the litigation process and its adversarial nature, and the jury system. We do not expect that the liabilities, if any, that may ultimately result from such routine legal actions will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows, but there is no assurance that such material adverse effect will not occur.

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we settled a matter with a former employee for $175.
