On August 26, 2010, the Company entered into a Debenture and Stock Purchase Agreement with Bakers Footwear Group, Inc. (“Bakers”) pursuant to which the Company paid $5,000 to acquire a subordinated debenture in the principal amount of $5,000 and 1,844,860 unregistered shares of Bakers common stock which trades on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board. The Company allocated $996 of the purchase price to the common stock and $4,004 to the subordinated debenture based upon their relative fair values. Interest accrues on the debenture at the rate of 11% per annum and is payable quarterly in cash. The principal amount of the debenture is payable by Bakers in four equal installments of $1,250 due on August 31, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020. The difference between the $4,004 purchase price of the debenture and the $5,000 principal amount of the debenture is considered original issue discount and is being amortized over the life of the debenture. As of March 31, 2012 and 2011, the total amount of the discount amortized was $106 and $36, bringing the value of the note to $4,110 and $4,040, respectively.
