4. INVESTMENT IN REAL ESTATE

On March 21, 2011, the Company purchased three 2-family buildings located in the Bronx, New York for $675,000, including related costs, and sold to the seller a one year option to buy back the properties for the same price. The buy back option was sold for $3,900, plus a monthly fee of $10,530 payable to the Company by the option holder for the life of the option. On September 28, 2011, the option holder exercised the option to buy back one of the properties for $380,679. The Company had received an aggregate of $70,590 from the sale of the option prior to the partial exercise and, on October 1, 2011, has issued a new one year option for the two remaining properties at an exercise price of $294,321 with a monthly option fee of $4,591 (the “New Option”.) The New Option supersedes the buy back option issued in March 2011. On October 21, 2011, the option holder partially exercised the New Option to buy back one of the two remaining properties for $147,500. After the partial exercise of the New Option, the option holder has a continuing option to purchase the one remaining property at an exercise price of $146,821 with a monthly option fee of $2,296.

Other income for the three month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 in the amount of $6,887 and $7,410, respectively, represents the fees generated from the seller buy back options.
