 Profit from Video Game Joint Venture
 
 Pursuant to a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release dated December 22, 2009, the joint venture was terminated on December 31, 2009.  As a result, the Company recognized $6.0 million in income related to our video game joint venture in 2010 and 2011. In 2010 and 2011 the Company received payments from THQ of $6.0 million each, which was recognized as income from joint venture.  The Settlement Agreement was amended during the second quarter of 2012, we amended.  The amendment called for the payment of an additional $1.0 million on October 30, 2012 (which the Company received) and $0.4 million each in ten consecutive monthly payments beginning February 28, 2013.  On December 19, 2012, THQ filed voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, and on January 24, 2013 the US Bankruptcy Court approved the sale of most of THQ’s assets to multiple buyers.  Given that the final payment received from THQ (in October 2012) was within 90 days of their filing for bankruptcy, the Company has not recognized this payment as revenue and has reserved the amount received pending the final settlement of THQ’s assets in accordance with bankruptcy law.
