Related Party Transactions	Related Party Transactions In connection with efforts to procure non-recourse mezzanine financing from an affiliate of the Company's Chairman, pursuant to the terms of the EB-5 visa program administered by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”), for a joint venture in Houston, Texas, in which the Company has an investment, the Company executed a guaranty in favor of an affiliate of its Chairman. The guaranty provided that the Company would reimburse investors providing the funds for such financing if the following occured: (1) the joint venture received such funds, (2) the USCIS denied the financing solely because the project was not permitted under the EB-5 visa program, and (3) the joint venture failed to return such funds. As of September 30, 2017, USCIS approved the project, and the guaranty terminated by its terms. In addition, in connection with efforts, on a non-binding basis, to procure non-recourse mezzanine financing from an affiliate of the Company's Chairman, pursuant to the terms of the EB-5 visa program administered by the USCIS, for an investment in Charlotte, North Carolina owned by LCIF, LCIF has agreed to reimburse the Chairman's affiliate up to approximately $107 for its expenses, but no expenses were reimbursed as of September 30, 2017.
