18.     PREFERRED STOCK TRANSACTION

 

The Company exchanged 728,000 shares of Common Stock for 200,000 shares of our Series IV Class B Convertible Preferred Stock as of November 30, 2015, pursuant to an agreement with a shareholder.  Such shareholder agreed to waive all unpaid dividends in arrears associated with the tendered preferred stock, equaling $3,094,795.  The fair value of the common stock issued ($2,606,240) over the carrying value of the preferred stock extinguished ($2,000,000) was $606,240.  The excess of the dividend arrearage waived less the excess value of common stock issued, less the preferred dividend requirements for 2015 through the extinguishment date ($182,877) resulted in a deemed capital contribution of $2,305,678 for purposes of computing net income available to common shareholders. Future dividend requirements of $200,000 per year were avoided as a result of this transaction.
