2.      Selling Arrangement.    Pursuant to a 2011 settlement agreement, the Company paid News America Marketing In-Store, LLC (News America) $4,000,000 in exchange for a 10-year arrangement to sell signs with price into News America’s network of retailers as News America’s exclusive agent. The $4,000,000 is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the 10-year term of the arrangement. Amortization expense, which was $100,000 in each of the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 and is expected to be $400,000 per year over the next five years, is recorded within Cost of Services in the Company’s Statements of Operations. The net carrying amount of the selling arrangement is recorded within Other Assets on the Company’s Condensed Balance Sheets.
