(c) The Company, on May 7, 2004, closed a loan with an affiliated

corporation owned by members, including certain directors of the Company,

of the family of the late Joe Weinstein, former Chairman of the Board of

and amortization of principal are paid quarterly based on a fifteen (15)

year level amortization period. The constant quarterly payments of

interest and principal are $40,316. The outstanding balance of the loan,

(e) The Company, on August 19, 2004, closed a loan with a bank for a

$12,000,000 multiple draw term loan. This loan finances seventy-five (75%)

percent of the cost of capital improvements for an existing lease to a

tenant and capital improvements for future tenant leases at the Company's

Brooklyn, New York (Bond Street building) and Fishkill, New York

properties. The loan will also finance $850,000 towards the construction

of two new elevators at the Company's Brooklyn, New York property (Bond

Street building). The Company had three and one-half years to draw down

amounts under this loan. The loan consists of: a) a permanent, first

mortgage loan to refinance an existing first mortgage loan affecting the

Fishkill Property, which matured on July 1, 2004 (the "First Permanent

Loan")(see Note 6(d)), b) a permanent subordinate mortgage loan in the

amount of $1,870,000 (the "Second Permanent Loan"), and c) multiple,

successively subordinate loans in the amount $8,295,274 ("Subordinate

Building Loans"). The loan is structured in two phases: 1) a forty-two

(42) month loan with payments of interest only at the floating one-month

LIBOR rate plus 2.25% per annum, but not less than 3.40%; and 2) after the

forty-two month period, the loan would convert to a seven-year (7)

permanent mortgage loan on a seventeen (17) year level amortization, plus

interest, at the option of the Company. The interest rate on the permanent

loan would be at a fixed rate equal to the Federal Home Loan Bank of New

York's seven-year (7) fixed interest rate plus 2.25% per annum at the time

of conversion. As of August 19, 2004, the Company refinanced the existing

mortgage on the Company's Fishkill, New York property, which balance was

$1,834,726 and took down an additional $2,820,000 for capital improvements

for two tenants at the Company's Bond Street building in Brooklyn, New

York. In fiscal 2006, 2007 and 2008, the Company drew down additional

amounts totaling $916,670, on its multiple draw term loan to finance tenant

improvements and brokerage commissions for the leasing of 13,026 square

feet for office use at the Company's Bond Street building in Brooklyn, New

York. The Company in February 2008 converted the loan to a seven (7) year

permanent mortgage loan. The interest rate on conversion was 6.98%. Since

the loan has been converted to a permanent mortgage loan, the balance of

the financing on this loan is for the new elevators at the Company's Bond

Street building in Brooklyn, New York in the amount of $850,000 referred to

above. As of January 31, 2009, the Company has not drawn down any of the

$850,000. The $850,000 is available until the elevator work is completed.

The monthly payments to the bank will increase once the $850,000 is drawn

down.
