Commitments and Contingencies
We believe that we will generate excess cash from property operations in the next twelve months; such excess, however, might not be sufficient to discharge all of our obligations as they become due. We intend to sell income-producing assets, refinance real estate and obtain additional borrowings primarily secured by real estate to meet our liquidity requirements.
We are defendants in litigation related to a property sale that was completed in 2008, which was tried to a jury in March 2023. On March 18, 2023, the jury in the case returned a “Plaintiff take nothing” verdict in our favor. The trial court granted the Plaintiffs a new trial, and we challenged that order by mandamus. On January 14, 2026, the Dallas Court of Appeals granted our petition and ordered the trial court to (1) vacate its new-trial order and (2) enter judgment in our favor on the jury’s verdict. We have tendered the proposed order and judgment and await their entry by the trial court.

About Commitments Disclosures

Commitments and contingencies disclosures catalog a company's off-balance-sheet obligations and legal exposures — purchase commitments, guarantee arrangements, pending litigation, and regulatory proceedings. These items represent potential future cash outflows that may not appear as liabilities on the balance sheet until they become probable and estimable.

Key signals: litigation reserves and disclosed loss ranges quantify management's estimate of legal exposure, but unquantified "reasonably possible" losses often represent the larger risk. Watch for changes in language around pending cases — shifts from "remote" to "reasonably possible" or increases in estimated loss ranges signal deteriorating outcomes. Unconditional purchase obligations and take-or-pay contracts create fixed cost structures that reduce operational flexibility. Guarantee arrangements for subsidiaries or joint ventures can create cascading obligations. Compare the total commitment schedule against projected free cash flow to assess whether the company can meet its obligations without additional financing.
