7.           Notes to Related Parties
 
Subordinated Convertible Notes Payable
 
Notes payable to related parties consist of unsecured convertible notes issued to UBA for a total value of $3,269,900 as of June 30, 2011, including interest at the prime rate plus 1.5%, but not to exceed 10% per year.  The UBA notes are convertible into common stock at $1.50 per share, but one of the UBA notes is subject to conversion rate adjustments.  The UBA notes have been extended until June 2012 with automatic renewals after such maturity date for successive one year terms, provided that either the Company or UBA may elect not to extend a term upon written notice given to the other party no more than 60 days and no fewer than 30 days prior to the expiration of such term. UBA may demand payment within 60 days of the end of the extension period but is precluded from doing so because the notes are subordinated to long-term debt agreements with Cole Taylor maturing in June 2016. Therefore, the Company will not require the use of working capital to repay any of the UBA notes until the Cole Taylor facilities are repaid.  The UBA notes include $1,354,500 and $1,309,400 of accrued interest at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
 
Shepard Neame Notes Payable
 
Also included in notes payable to related parties is an unsecured loan from Shepherd Neame to KBEL payable in annual installments of $96,400 with interest at 5% per year maturing in June 2012.  The amounts outstanding under this loan as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were $96,400 and $184,800 respectively, including current maturities of $96,400 and $92,400 on those dates.
