(“BKF”).  Pursuant to the agreement, BKF occupies and uses one furnished office, telephone and other services, located at our corporate offices, for a fee of $1,000 per month.  As of February 1, 2017 this agreement was modified as BKF relocated and no longer occupied the furnished office.  Accordingly, the fee was reduced to $250 per month.  In addition, we will occasionally pay administrative expenses on behalf of BKF, and BKF will reimburse the Company.  For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, BKF paid $750 and $3,000, respectively to the Company.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, BKF paid $3,000 and $9,000, respectively to the Company.  Steven N.
