Note 19. Subsequent Events

On August 6, 2012, the Company acquired the common stock and membership interest of Frascati Shops, Inc. and Tower LLC, respectively for a total of $4.3 million (consisting of a $600,000 cash payment and assumption of all debt for both companies).  These two Companies own and operate a certified rail-car repair yard facility near the port of Mobile, Alabama and will be used to service and repair rail-cars from third party customers and  service and repair rail-cars that are transported via the Company's Rail-Ferry vessels.  While the transaction is deemed immaterial, it will be accounted for as a business combination.
