OTHER INVESTMENTS

In May 2013, as part of the acquisition of the Mirror Worlds portfolio (see Note B[2]), the Company acquired from Mirror Worlds, LLC 250,000 shares of common stock of Lifestreams Technologies Corporation (“Lifestreams”), a company engaged in the development of next generation applications and methodologies designed to organize and display digital data.  In July 2013, the Company made an additional investment of $50,000 in Lifestreams as part of a financing and received 123,456 shares of Series A preferred stock and, as part of an amended license agreement between the Company’s subsidiary and Lifestreams, the Company received a warrant to purchase 1,305,000 shares of common stock of Lifestreams.  The warrant was valued at $70,000 based on the Black-Scholes option model and recorded as non-cash royalty income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.  In March 2014, the Company made an additional investment of $95,000 in Lifestreams in the form of a convertible note as part of the first tranche of an aggregate investment of $380,200 of convertible notes.  In May 2014 and August 2014, the Company made additional investments of $95,000 each as part of the second and third tranche of the investment.  The convertible notes are due March 31, 2015 and shall automatically convert into shares of preferred stock upon a Lifestreams “qualified” equity financing (at least $3.0 million).  Since the Company owns less than 20% of the outstanding equity of Lifestreams at September 30, 2014 and does not have significant influence or control, the Company’s investment in Lifestreams is recorded at cost. It was not practicable to determine the fair value of the Company's investment in Lifestreams as it had no readily determinable market value. At September 30, 2014, the Company’s investment in Lifestreams, which is included in Other Investments on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, consists of the following:
