17.  Related Party Transaction


In March 2013, Lakes transferred to Lyle Berman, Lakes' Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, a $250,000 secured note from an unrelated third party company in exchange for a cash payment of $150,000 from Mr. Berman. The secured note was in default and related to a fiscal 2012 potential business development opportunity that Lakes decided not to pursue. The note receivable, which originated in fiscal 2012, was recorded as other current assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 30, 2012. The Company wrote the note receivable down to $150,000 as of December 30, 2012, resulting in the recognition of an impairment charge of $100,000 in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012.
