  (1) At September 30, 2014, the carrying amount of our investment in Toys is less than our share of Toys' equity by approximately $323,497. This basis difference results primarily from non-cash impairment losses aggregating $355,953 that we have recognized through September 30, 2014. We have allocated the basis difference primarily to Toys' real estate, which is being amortized over its remaining estimated useful life.
