6. Transactions with the Newport Funds

In 2007, NGOF received $5,118,172 of interest on the Mortgage Bonds and $61,600 of preferred dividends on behalf of (but did not remit to) the Company which are reflected in the accompanying balance sheets as due from the Newport Funds. There is no formal agreement outlining the settlement of this receivable (and payable discussed in the following paragraph) and, accordingly, the receivable is reflected as a non-current asset.

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company owed $2,859,192 and $2,568,903, respectively, to the Newport Funds for expenses paid on the Company's behalf since inception of the Company. There have been no repayments of such amounts advanced to the Company. The Newport Funds have agreed to waive demand of payment of the amounts advanced to the Company through March 1, 2013, and, accordingly, the liability is also reflected as long-term.
