     The Companies have evaluated and disclosed subsequent events from July 31, 2012 through the issuance date of the Form 10Q.

     On September 6, 2012, Blue Ridge and The Conservation Fund (the “Purchaser”) entered into a Third Amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to the Agreement of Sale between Blue Ridge and the Purchaser dated February 17, 2011 (the “Initial Phase 3 Agreement”), as amended by the First Amendment dated August 15, 2011 (the “First Amendment”), and as amended by the Second Amendment dated February 20, 2012 (the “Second Amendment”, and the Initial Phase 3 Agreement as amended by the First and Second Amendment, the “Phase 3 Agreement”) for raw land owned by the Company.  Under the Phase 3 Agreement, Blue Ridge 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 (the “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 Third Amendment, the Phase 3 Agreement provided that (i) the Purchaser had until November 30, 2012 (the “Inspection Period”) to perform any due diligence it deemed necessary to satisfy itself as to the feasibility of proceeding with its acquisition of the Property; (ii) the closing for the sale of the Property would occur on December 31, 2012 and (iii) if the parties are unable to reach an agreement on the final terms of the Surface Use Agreement prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period (as extended by the terms of the Second Amendment), then either party may terminate the Agreement on ten days written notice, and upon such termination the Deposit will be refunded to Purchaser.  The Third Amendment provides that (i) the end of Inspection Period be extended from November 30, 2012 to May 30, 2013; and (ii) closing shall occur on July 1, 2013.  All other terms and conditions of the Phase 3 Agreement in effect prior to the Third Amendment remain in effect.
