A substantial majority of the Company’s real estate assets are located in or adjacent to Rio Rancho, New Mexico. As of April 30, 2016, the Company had approximately 210 developed lots available for sale in Rio Rancho. The development of additional lots for sale in Rio Rancho will require significant additional financing or other sources of funding, which may not be available. Development activities performed in connection with real estate sales include obtaining necessary governmental approvals, acquiring access to water supplies, installing utilities and necessary storm drains and building or improving roads. As a result of this geographic concentration, the Company has been and will be affected by changes in economic conditions in that region.
