(7) EQUITY AND CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES FINANCING

On March 31, 2011, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with a limited number of accredited investors pursuant to which the Company sold for $225,000 an aggregate of 459,181 shares of its Common Stock to such persons in a private transaction (the “Equity Investment”). The purchasers participating in the transaction are members of the Company’s Board of Directors and management team (the “Purchasers”). The transaction closed on March 31, 2011. Of this amount, the Company received $150,000 in total cash proceeds for the purchase of the shares of Common Stock and three of the purchasers agreed with the Company to pay the purchase price for the shares of Common Stock by granting an offsetting credit to the Company for an amount equal to the purchase price and authorizing the Company to apply such credit against any obligation of the Company to such person within twelve months of the closing date, except for base salary. The shares to which the credit relates were to be held by the Company until the credit is applied and will be cancelled upon the one-year anniversary to the extent the credit is not applied. The aggregate amount of such credits totaled $75,000 and were fully exercised during 2012. The Company has used these cash proceeds for general working capital. The value ascribed to the Equity Investment was based on the fair value of the Company’s stock on March 31, 2011. On May 18, 2011, the Company issued 51,020 shares of Common Stock to its counsel in connection with an arrangement to cancel $25,000 of outstanding fees.

On June 1, 2011, the Company entered into a debenture purchase agreement (the “Debenture Purchase Agreement”) with entities affiliated with Wynnefield Capital, Inc. (the “Debenture Purchasers”), providing for a standby commitment pursuant to which the Debenture Purchasers agreed to purchase convertible debentures (the “Convertible Debentures”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $350,000 (the “Total Commitment Amount”). In addition, the Company issued the Debenture Purchasers warrants to purchase an aggregate of 53,846 shares of common stock (the “Warrants”) in consideration of their agreement to provide the Total Commitment Amount. On July 28, 2011, the Company drew down the entire amount of the Total Commitment amount available under the Debenture Purchase Agreement, of which $200,000 was used for the initial payments under the Debenture Purchase Agreement relating to the settlement with the former owners of RS Staffing, and on such date the Company issued the Convertible Debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $350,000 to the Debenture Purchasers, and received such funds.

The Convertible Debentures will mature on the 27-month anniversary of issuance and bear interest at the rate of the greater of the prime rate plus 5%, or 10% per annum, payable at maturity or upon redemption of such Convertible Debentures. The interest rate at June 30, 2012 was 10%. The Convertible Debentures were initially convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price of $1.30 per share, which was in excess of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at that date. The initial conversion rate is subject to adjustment to account for certain customary events and also includes weighted-average anti-dilution protection for future issuances by the Company, subject to certain exclusions. The Company can also redeem the outstanding Convertible Debentures at any time at 120% of the remaining principal amount, plus accrued but unpaid interest. The Warrants are exercisable for five years at an initial exercise price equal to $1.00. The initial exercise price of the Warrants is subject to adjustment for certain customary events and includes weighted average anti-dilution protection for future issuances by the Company, subject to certain exclusions. In connection with the parties’ entry into the Debenture Purchase Agreement, the Company, DLH Solutions, the Debenture Purchasers and Presidential Financial Corporation entered into subordination agreements concerning the terms of the subordination of the Convertible Debentures to the secured loan facility provided by Presidential Financial Corporation. Under the subordination agreements, the Company may not make payments to the Debenture Purchasers under the Convertible Debentures unless before and following such payments, no “Event of Default” exists under the secured loan facility.

As a result of the rights offering, the conversion rate of the Convertible Debentures was adjusted to $1.25 and the exercise price of the Warrants was adjusted from $1.00 to $0.96 per share.

The Debenture Purchasers are entities affiliated with Wynnefield Capital, Inc., the Company’s largest shareholder. Mr. Peter Black, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, is an employee of Wynnefield Capital. The Convertible Debentures and Warrants are restricted securities issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

Direct costs associated with the Debenture Purchase Agreement totaled $31,000. These costs have been and will be capitalized as deferred financing costs and amortized over the period that such debentures are outstanding or the Debenture Agreement is effective. In addition, an initial value of $42,000 was ascribed to the warrants and it was determined that at July 28, 2011, because of appreciation in the Company’s stock price, the embedded conversion feature included in the Convertible Debentures had a fair value of $289,000 at the time of issuance of the Convertible Debentures; such amount is also being expensed over the life of the Convertible Debentures and the unamortized amounts have been deducted from the value of the Convertible Debentures as noted below. As a result of the rights offering the initial value of the warrants were revalued with minimal change and the value of the Convertible Debenture of $289,000 was revalued at $307,000.

At June 30, 2012, there were 53,846 warrants outstanding and the principal amount of the Convertible Debentures is convertible into 280,682 shares of common stock under the terms of the conversion feature embedded in the Convertible Debentures. The amount of shares of common stock under the conversion feature embedded in the Convertible Debenture was revalued from 269,230 shares to 280,682 as a result of adjustment to the conversion price due to the rights offering. Because the warrants and the conversion feature embedded in the Convertible Debenture have a weighted average anti-dilution feature that in certain circumstances could provide the holders with protection against changes in the market value of the Company’s common stock, they are required under applicable accounting standards to be recorded at fair value as of the balance sheet date. At June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, the Company evaluated the fair value of the Warrants and the embedded conversion feature of the Convertible Debentures using a binomial valuation model and recorded income in the amount of $186,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012, and expense in the amount of $102,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2012, to reflect the net difference between their carrying values at September 30, 2011 and their fair values as of June 30, 2012 using the closing stock price as of June 30, 2012 for a total value of $122,000.

The payment of the entire $350,000 principal amount of the Convertible Debentures is contractually due in the fiscal year ending September 30, 2014. The Company has evaluated the likelihood of satisfying the liability associated with the financial instruments in fiscal 2012 and has concluded that the classification of this liability is non-current at June 30, 2012

On March 16, 2012, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a rights offering in which existing stockholders of the Company will receive non-transferable rights to purchase $4.2 million of additional shares of its common stock. Under the terms of the rights offering, the Company distributed, at no charge to the holders of its common stock as of the record date of April 10, 2012, non- transferable subscription rights for each share of common stock owned on the record date. Each subscription right entitled the holder to purchase 0.532 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $1.30 per share. The rights offering also includes an over-subscription privilege, which entitled a holder who exercises its basic subscription privilege in full the right to purchase additional shares of common stock that remain unsubscribed at the expiration of the rights offering, subject to the availability and pro rata allocation of shares among persons exercising this over-subscription right.

In connection with the rights offering, on April 30, 2012, the Company entered into a standby purchase agreement with Wynnefield Capital, Inc. (“Wynnefield Capital”), which owned, prior to the rights offering, approximately 21% of the Company’s Common Stock through certain affiliated entities. Pursuant to the standby purchase agreement, Wynnefield Capital (or affiliated assignees) agreed to acquire from us in the rights offering, subject to the satisfactions of specified conditions, the shares of common stock that relate to any rights that remain unexercised at the expiration of the rights offering. Mr. Peter Black, a member of our board of directors, is a n employee of Wynnefield Capital. We entered into a registration rights agreement with Wynnefield Capital whereby we will, at our cost and expense, register for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, all shares of common stock beneficially owned by Wynnefield Capital, including shares purchased by Wynnefield Capital in the rights offering. We have agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC within 90 days of closing of the rights offering.

The Company completed the closing of the rights offering on June 15, 2012 and raised gross proceeds of $4.2 million from the sale of 3,230,769 shares of its common stock. As a result, the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding increased to 9,305,702 shares. Officers and directors purchased an aggregate of 137,678 shares in the rights offering and entities affiliated with Wynnefield Capital purchased a total of 2,840,251 shares of our common stock.
