A subsidiary of the Company closed a transaction involving the air rights above the Company’s 33rd Street club in Manhattan,  New York  in October 2013. The subsidiary entered into a contract to buy the land and building for $ 10 million at any time in the next five years.   Concurrent with the building transaction, a third party (the “Third Party Purchaser”) purchased the balance of the air rights of the property that are not subject to the Option Agreement. The purchase price for these air rights was $ 13,000,000, of which the Company’s subsidiary contributed $ 5,200,000 in connection with the overall business transaction.   The transactions are part of a previously announced transaction under which the Company agreed to purchase the land and building for $ 23 million. The new agreement also amends the lease for the three-story building at 50 West 33rd Street to $ 100,000 per month for the next five years rather than the $ 180,000 per month called for in the original agreement.
 
In October 2013, the Company purchased 49 percent of a corporation that operates the Dallas club “PT’s Platinum” and also acquired the building and personal property.   Total cost of the transaction was $500,000.   Due to the Company having effective control of the business,  this subsidiary is being consolidated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, effective as of the date of the purchase.
