NOTE C – RECEIVABLES – PAYABLES – RELATED PARTIES

Prime Income Asset Management, Inc.

Prime Income Asset Management, Inc. (“PIAMI”) is a real estate management company that also invests in real estate for its own account. Pillar Income Asset Management, Inc. (“Pillar”) is a real estate management company. Both PIAMI and Pillar are indirectly owned by a private trust. URC Energy Inc. (“URC”) is and has been a significant investor in the Company. URC is indirectly owned by a private trust  While the trusts for PIAMI and Pillar and URC are separate they have similar trustees and beneficiaries and therefore the Company has noted PIAMI and Pillar as related parties. Eurenergy Resources, Inc. (“ERC”) is an oil & gas company that owned and operated oil and gas wells.

Beginning in 2006 the Company made loans to PIAMI and ERC at interest rates higher than the Company believes it could have gotten elsewhere.  On May 21, 2009, PIAMI acquired both Eurenergy notes receivable at face value plus accrued interest totaling $3,970,897. Effective May 21, 2009 the Company and PIAMI entered into a new note combing all of the above loans into one note. The loan calls for interest at the prime rate plus 2% with principal and interest payable within 30 days after demand, and if not sooner demanded, on January 31, 2013.

At December 31, 2009, the balance due including accrued interest on the note receivable from PIAMI was $11.1 million. During 2010 the note was paid down whereby as of December 31, 2010 the outstanding principal and interest totaled $10.4 million.  During the first three quarters of 2011 the Company accrued interest of $360,000 and received $715,000 in payments from PIAMI. In the fourth quarter of 2011 the Company determined that the financial condition of PIAMI had deteriorated and there could be no assurance that the amount owed would or could be collected. The company has recorded a reserve of $10 million (the full balance) for the combined note.

Beginning in 2011, the Company conducted business with Pillar whereby Pillar provided the Company with services including processing payroll, acquiring insurance and other administrative matters (rent). The Company believes that by purchasing these services through certain large entities it can get lower costs and better service. Pillar does not charge the Company a fee for providing these services.

While separate companies, both PIAMI and Pillar are both owned by Realty Advisors, Inc. (“RAI”).  During 2011 and 2012, the Company incurred obligations to Pillar totaling approximately $2.1 million. In a joint agreement among Pillar, PIAMI and the Company, Pillar agreed to relieve the Company of its obligation to pay $2.1 million and the Company agreed to reduce the amount owed by Prime by a like amount. In 2012 the Company recorded a $2.1 million recovery on the transaction reduction in the PIAMI obligation.

During 2013, the Company incurred obligations to Pillar totaling approximately $1.6 million. In a joint agreement among Pillar, PIAMI and the Company, Pillar agreed to relieve the Company of its obligation to pay $1.6 million and the Company agreed to reduce the amount owed by Prime by a like amount.

Coastland Operations, LLC

During 2012, the Company and several other defendants settled a lawsuit for $225,000. The Company paid the entire amount and has a note receivable from one of the other defendants, Coastland Operations, LLC (a subsidiary of Arcadian Energy, Inc) for $112,500 representing its share of the settlement Arcadian for a portion of his services. Arcadian, through its subsidiary URC is a significant shareholder of the Company and is therefore considered a related party. In March 2015 the $112,500 plus all accrued interest thereon was paid to the Company.
