But, but, B&L have other pressing financial obligations to deal with before thinking of buying a $2.25M parcel of property, right?

****The Company was delinquent on certain filings and payments of required federal and state payroll taxes. The Company has provided an estimate of related penalty assessments and interest. The amount of payroll taxes, penalties and interest due at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 totaled $872,270 and $797,422, respectively.****

****On August 9, 2012, the Company settled litigation with the holder of a $150,000 note bearing interest at 10% which was in default. Principal and accrued interest of the note was $300,497 as of August 9, 2012. Under the terms of the settlement, the Company will pay the note holder $300,000 with 8% interest accruing on the unpaid balance. The Company made two payments of $25,000 on August 13, 2012 and one payment of $30,000 on September 26, 2012.

The media company was granted a judgment for $71,033 by Los Angeles Superior Court on April 6, 2010, which is still owed by the Company. There have been no efforts on the part of the media company to collect the judgment and the Company believes that it will be able to settle the amount for a reduced final payment.
