Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

            On August 15, 2011, Blue Ridge Real Estate Company (the “Company”) and The Conservation Fund (the “Purchaser”) entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Agreement of Sale, dated February 17, 2011, between the Company and the Purchaser (referred to as the “Phase 3 Agreement”) for raw land owned by the Company.  Under the Phase 3 Agreement, the Company agreed to sell the Purchaser land located in Thornhurst Township, Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania, consisting of approximately 376 acres (the “Property”), for a purchase price of $1,600,000, $5,000 of which was paid by the Purchaser as a deposit within five business days of the effective date of the Phase 3 Agreement, and the remainder of which is payable to the Company at the closing. 

            Prior to the Amendment, the Phase 3 Agreement provided that the Purchaser had until August 16, 2011, or 180 days, to perform any due diligence it deemed necessary to satisfy itself as to the feasibility of proceeding with its acquisition of the Property (the “Inspection Period”). The Phase 3 Agreement further provided that the closing for the sale of the Property take place on or before 30 days following the expiration of the Inspection Period. The Amendment provides that (i) the end of Inspection Period will be extended from August 16, 2011to February 16, 2012and (ii) closing shall not occur before November 1, 2011.  All other terms and conditions of the Phase 3 Agreement in effect prior to the Amendment remain in effect.

            The foregoing is a summary description of certain terms of the Phase 3 Agreement and the Amendment and, by its nature, is incomplete. This description is qualified in its entirety by the text of the Phase 3 Agreement and the Amendment, which are attached as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
