NOTE 21 - COMMITMENTS

 

Operating lease commitments

 

On July 7, 2005, a related party, AUM Realty, LLC ("AUM"), purchased real property consisting of a building and parking lot located in Nanuet, New York for $2,050,000. A member of the Company, entered into a sublease agreement with AUM for the same period as the lease agreement, expiring in July 2015, which requires minimum monthly rent payments and all operating expenses and Real Estate Property Tax payments. In addition, AUM borrowed $1,628,000 from a bank secured by a first mortgage on the property. This loan is guaranteed by the Company's member. As of March 27, 2012 the Chase Mortgage was paid in full in order for the property to be used as collateral in the amount of $1.7M for a Line of Credit for the Company. The mortgage balance that resulted in this transaction is now due to Portables Unlimited, LLC in the amount of $885,000. AUM continues to pay down this balance at $15,000 per month as per the agreement.

Beginning January 1, 2009, the Company entered into a sublease agreement with its member on a month-to-month basis for this property.

The Company also leases two other warehouses and 13 retail stores and kiosks. These leases require monthly payments and expire at various dates through 2017. The Company has operating agreements in place with the all of the retail stores and kiosks whereby independent third parties (the "operators") operate the retail locations and provide specific services as outlined in the operating agreements. The leases for these locations remain in the name of the Company but are subleased by the operators of the locations. Rent expense is being recorded using the straight-line basis over the term of the leases.

The future minimum annual rental commitments as of March 31, 2013 are as follows:
