Equity [Abstract]
SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY	12. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY: Preferred Stock The Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation authorize it to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of $0.01 par value preferred stock with designations, rights and preferences determined from time-to-time by the Company’s Board of Directors. Accordingly, the Company’s Board of Directors is empowered, without shareholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights superior to those of shareholders of the Company’s common stock. In 1995, the Company issued 200,000 shares of Series A Nonconvertible Preferred Stock (Series A) to American Biomimetics Corporation (ABC) pursuant to a certain Technology Transfer Agreement between the Company and ABC. The Series A shares have a liquidation value of $7.50 per share. Series A shareholders, as a single class, have the right to elect two members of the Company’s Board of Directors. This right has never been exercised. Holders of the Series A shares are entitled to one vote per share on matters which shareholders are generally entitled to vote. The Series A shareholders are not entitled to any dividends. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had issued 200,000 shares of preferred stock, all of which were outstanding. Common Stock The Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation authorize it to issue up 200,000,000 shares of $0.01 par value common stock. Each share of the Company’s common stock entitles the holder to one vote on all matters to be voted upon by the shareholders. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had issued 48,852,193 shares of common stock, of which 47,486,545 were outstanding. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company repurchased 4,011 and 3,774 shares, respectively, of common stock, now held as treasury stock, for aggregate purchase prices of $649,000 and $477,000, respectively. Scientific Advisory Board Awards During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company granted a total of 1,960 and 2,456 shares, respectively, of fully vested common stock to non-employee members of the Scientific Advisory Board for services performed in 2018 and 2017, respectively. The fair value of the shares issued to members of the Scientific Advisory Board was $300,000 for both years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. Dividends During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company declared and paid cash dividends of $0.40 per common share, or $18.9 million, on the Company’s outstanding common stock. On February 18, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a first quarter dividend of $0.15 per common share to be paid on March 31, 2020 to all shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 17, 2020. All future dividends will be subject to the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors.
