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”). 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 partially exercised the Buy Back Option with respect to one of the properties for $380,679.  On October 1, 2011, the Company issued a new one year option for the two remaining properties at an aggregate exercise price of $294,321 with a monthly option fee of $4,591 (the “New Option”). On October 21, 2011, the option holder partially exercised the New Option to buy back one of the two remaining properties for $147,500 and had a continuing option, though October 1, 2012, to purchase the one remaining property at an exercise price of $146,821 with a monthly option fee of $2,296.  Subsequently, the New Option’s expiration date was extended twice, on October 1, 2012, which extended the expiration date through March 30, 2013, and again on April 1, 2013, which extended the expiration date through September 30, 2013.
 
Since September 30, 2013, the expiration date of the New Option has been extended on a month to month basis with the payment of the monthly option fee. On October 2, 2014, the option holder exercised the New Option to buy back the one remaining property at the exercise price of $146,821.
 
Other income for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 in the amount of $6,887 represents the option fees generated from the option holder on the New Option.
