Convertible Debentures Financing

As has been previously disclosed, certain entities affiliated with Wynnefield Capital, Inc., the Company’s largest stockholder, owned convertible debentures in an aggregate principal amount of $350 thousand and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 53,846 shares of common stock. These instruments were issued pursuant to a debenture purchase agreement in June 2011. The warrants were exercisable at a price of $0.96 until June 2016 and the conversion rate of the convertible debentures was $1.25.

Upon maturity on October 28, 2013, the principal amount of $210 thousand of convertible debentures was converted into $168 thousand shares of common stock and the principal amount of $140 thousand on the remaining debenture was repaid in full. In addition, in October 2013, the holders of the Warrants exercised such Warrants in full for 53,846 shares of common stock. A gain of $119 thousand was recognized, which represented the change in the fair value of the derivative immediately prior to conversion. Additionally, expense of $20 thousand was recorded in the three months ended December 31, 2013, related to fair valuation of the warrants. The accrued liability of $61 thousand with respect to the fair value of the warrants was reflected as additional paid in capital upon their exercise. The shares of the Company’s common stock issued upon conversion of the debentures were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The shares of the Company’s common stock issued upon exercise of the warrants were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
