Investments.  On August 16, 2010, the Company acquired less than a 5% interest in Driverside, Inc. for $1,000,000. The Company made an additional investment in Driverside in 2011 for $16,737.  The Company recorded the investments in Driverside at cost because the Company does not have significant influence over Driverside.  In 2011, Driverside merged with another entity and the Company received a cash payment of $823,000, representing the Company's pro rata share of the initial merger consideration.  The $823,000 received at closing of the transaction was recorded as a reduction to the Driverside investment on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. The Company is also entitled to receive its pro rata share of amounts, if any, payable upon satisfaction of contingent payment milestones by Driverside and amounts, if any, released from an escrow account established to satisfy post-closing indemnification claims.  The Company reviews for indicators of impairment on a quarterly basis by evaluating whether an event or change in circumstance has occurred that may have a significant adverse effect on the value of the investment.  As of December 31, 2011, there were no other changes in the recognized amount of the investment in Driverside.

Long-term debt.  In connection with the acquisition of Auto/Cyber, the Company issued the Note. Interest is payable at an annual interest rate of 6% in quarterly installments.  As of December 31, 2011, the Company had accrued interest of $75,000 related to the Note.  The entire outstanding balance of the Note is to be paid in full on September 30, 2015.

At any time after September 30, 2013, holders of the Note may convert all or any part of, but in 200,000 minimum share increments, the then outstanding and unpaid principal of the Note into fully paid shares of the Company's Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.93 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations and other similar events).  The right to convert the Note into Common Stock of the Company is accelerated in the event of a change in control of the Company.  In the event of default, the entire unpaid balance of the Note will become immediately due and payable and will bear interest at the lower of 8% per year and the highest legal rate permissible under applicable law.  See Note 3 for further discussion of the convertible subordinated promissory note.
