On November 10, 2014, the Company entered into a Management Agreement, with an effective date of April 1, 2014, with Inter-American Management, LLC (the “Manager”), a Delaware limited liability company and an affiliate of the Company. Under the terms of the Management Agreement, the Manager is responsible for designing and implementing our business strategy and administering our business activities and day-to-day operations. For performing these services, the Company will pay the Manager a base management fee equal to the greater of (a) 2.0% per annum of the Company’s net asset value (the value of the Company’s assets less the value of the Company’s liabilities), or (b) $30,000 per calendar month. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, management fees of $90,000 and $270,000, respectively, were incurred and expensed. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, management fees of $90,000 and $180,000, respectively (incurred beginning April 1, 2014), were incurred and expensed. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, cumulative management fees of $540,000 and $270,000, respectively, were incurred and expensed by the Company, due to the Manager, and remain unpaid. The unpaid management fee balance is included in the “Due to Related Parties, Net” line item in the accompanying Balance Sheets. Additionally, during the three months ended September 30, 2015 we expensed $227,000 that was paid to the Manager related to the West Mifflin acquisition.

The Company analyzed the conversion option in the Convertible Debenture for derivative accounting treatment under ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” and determined that the instrument does not qualify for derivative accounting. The Company therefore performed an analysis to determine if the conversion option was subject to a beneficial conversion feature and determined that the instrument does not have a beneficial conversion feature.
