On April 29, 2009, the Company entered into a modification to two secured promissory notes whereby the due date for the $ 5 million of principal due and payable by the Company under each note was extended by two years from November 2010 to November 2012.  All other terms and conditions of the promissory notes remain the same.  The Company paid a total of $150,000 to the holders of the notes as consideration for their agreement to extend the notes for two years through November 2012.  The $150,000 paid will be amortized as an adjustment of interest expense over the remaining life of the notes.
 
On September 30, 2010, the two secured promissory notes were modified again.  Under the modified terms the promissory notes become 10 year amortized facilities that provides for equal monthly payments of $77,633 each and will be fully paid on September 30, 2020, rather than a balloon payment for the entire amount that would have been due on November 30, 2012.  Interest on the modified note remains at 14 percent.  The Company paid each holder $ 50 ,000 as consideration for entering into the extension. The $ 100,000 paid will be amortized as an adjustment of interest expense over the remaining life of the notes.  The Company accounted for this transaction in accordance with FASB ASC 470, Debt.
 
As part of the acquisition of the Platinum Club II in Dallas, the Company acquired the Real Property from Wire Way, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Wire Way”). Pursuant to a Real Estate Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Real Estate Agreement”) dated May 10, 2008, the Company paid total consideration of $ 6 million, which was paid $ 1.6 million in cash and $ 4.4 million through the issuance of a promissory note (the “Promissory Note”). The Promissory Note bears interest at a varying rate at the greater of (i) two percent (2%) above the Prime Rate or (ii) seven and one-half percent (7.5%), which is guaranteed by the Company and by Eric Langan, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, individually . The note is payable in monthly installments of $ 34,999 until June 2017.
 
In connection with the acquisition of Joy Club of Austin (now Rick’s Cabaret) in December 2009 (Note M, Acquisitions), the Company assumed and entered into certain notes payable aggregating $ 2.5 million.  These notes bear interest at rates ranging from 4.75 % to 7.25 % and are payable in monthly installments aggregating $42,461, including interest.  The notes mature in December 2014 and September 2019.
 
In April 2010, the Company acquired the real estate for the club in Austin, Texas formerly known as Rick’s Cabaret.  In connection with the purchase, the Company executed a note to the seller amounting to $ 2.2 million. The note was collateralized by the real estate and was payable in monthly installments through April 2025 of $19,774, including principal and interest at the prime rate plus 4.5% with a minimum rate of 7%. As of September 30, 2012, the effective rate was 7 %. The Company refinanced this debt in 2013 with a note of $ 1.5 million, payable in monthly installments of $ 15,090 through July 2018, including principal and interest at 6.25%.
 
In June 2010, the Company borrowed $518,192 from a lender. The funds were used to purchase an aircraft. The debt bears interest at 6.30% with monthly principal and interest payments of $ 3,803 beginning July 2010. The note matures in June 2030.
 
On June 25, 2010, the Company completed the sale of an aggregate of approximately $ 9.2 million in 10% Convertible Debentures (the “2010 Debentures”) to certain accredited investors (the “2010 Holders”).  The 2010 Debentures bore interest at the rate of 10% per annum and matured and were paid on June 25, 2013.  The 2010 Debenture were payable with one initial payment of interest only due December 26, 2010, and, thereafter in ten equal quarterly principal payments of $ 920,000 plus accrued interest thereon.  At the option of the 2010 Holders, the principal amount of the 2010 Debentures and the accrued but unpaid interest thereon could be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at $ 10.25 per share.   The 2010 Debentures were redeemable by the Company at any time if the closing price of its common stock for 20 consecutive trading days is at least $13.47 per share.   Considering the cost of the associated warrants and issue costs explained below, the effective interest rate on the 2010 Debentures was 13.1 %.
 
In connection with the sale of the 2010 Debentures in June 2010, the Company also issued an aggregate of 179,513 warrants (the “Warrants”) to the 2010 Holders, on a pro-rata basis.  The Company issued each Holder a number of Warrants equal to 20 % of the number of shares of common stock into which each Holder’s 2010 Debenture is convertible.  The Warrants had an exercise price of $ 10.25 and expired on June 25, 2013.  The Warrants provided that the Company had the right to require exercise of the Warrants if the closing price of the Company’s common stock for 20 consecutive trading days was at least $14.35.
 
The conversion price for the 2010 Convertible Debentures was determined by negotiation with the creditors. The $ 10.25 conversion price was in excess of the market price at date of issuance of $ 8.73. The beneficial conversion was calculated by comparing the “effective conversion price” of the debenture to the actual stock price at the transaction date. The “effective conversion price” was calculated by dividing the fair value of the debt, after deducting the fair value of the debt discount due to the issuance of warrants with the debt in the amount of $ 462,724, by the convertible shares. The resulting $ 9.74 was above the stock price at the transaction date; therefore, there was no beneficial conversion feature.
 
The fair value of the warrants was estimated to be $ 434,571using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the following weighted average assumptions:

The cost of the warrants has been recognized as a discount on the related debt and was amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.
 
The proceeds from the sale of the 2010 Debentures and Warrants in June 2010 were intended to be utilized to make future acquisitions, and could be utilized for working capital and general corporate purposes.
 
An adviser to the Company received compensation in the amount of $460,000, which was capitalized as loan origination cost and was amortized over the life of the debt, in connection with advising the Company regarding the June 2010 sale of the 2010 Debentures and Warrants.
 
In August 2011, the Company borrowed $750,000 from an employee. The note bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum and matured on August 1, 2014.  The note was payable with one initial payment of interest only due January 1, 2012, and, thereafter in ten interest-only quarterly payments. The principal was payable on August 1, 2014. The note was extended in 2014 under the same terms until maturity in January 2016.  At the option of the holder, the principal amount of the note and the accrued but unpaid interest thereon may be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at $ 10.00 per share.  The note is redeemable by the Company after six months at any time if the closing price of its common stock for 20 consecutive trading days is at least $13.00 per share.
