Preferred Stock [Abstract] |
Preferred Stock [Text Block] | Preferred Stock Convertible Redeemable Series E 7% Preferred Stock On November 19, 2010, the Company sold 10,582,011 Preferred Offering Units consisting of (i) one share (“Preferred Share”) of Series E 7% Senior Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company, (ii) a warrant to purchase 0.25 of a share of Common Stock (consisting of at issuance an aggregate of 1,322,486 warrants, adjusted to an aggregate of 1,747,188 as of September 30, 2012); and (iii) 0.0155 of a share of Common Stock (an aggregate of 164,418 common shares). Each Preferred Offering Unit was priced at $0.945 and total gross and net proceeds received by the Company were $10,000,000 and $8,876,700, respectively. Dividends on the Preferred Shares accrue at a rate of 7% per annum and are payable monthly in arrears. The Company is required to redeem 1/27 of the Preferred Shares monthly. Monthly dividend and principal payments began on March 21, 2011 and continue on the 19th of each month thereafter with the final payment due on May 20, 2013. Payments can be made in cash or, upon notification to the holders, in shares of Company common stock, provided certain conditions are satisfied or holders of Preferred Shares agree to waive the conditions for that payment period. As of September 30, 2012, the Company had issued 7,950,107 shares of Company common stock in payment of monthly dividends and principal, including required advance payments. The Company may pre-pay the outstanding balance of the Preferred Shares in full or in part (in increments of no less than $1,000,000) at 110% of the then outstanding balance with notice of not less than thirty days and adequate opportunity to convert. If the Company chooses to pre-pay, the outstanding balance must be paid in cash and the premium may be paid in cash or shares of Company common stock. An aggregate of $2,500,000 of the proceeds from the Preferred Offering was placed in escrow for a maximum of 2.5 years as security for the Company’s obligations relative to the Preferred Shares, and is included in other assets. Upon issuance, the Preferred Shares were convertible at an initial conversion price of $2.0004. The conversion price is subject to certain weighted average adjustments upon the occurrence of specific events, including stock dividends, stock splits, combinations and reclassifications of the Company’s common stock and if (with certain exceptions) the Company issues or sells any additional shares of common stock or common stock equivalents at a price per share less than the conversion price then in effect, or without consideration. As of September 30, 2012, the conversion price had been adjusted to $1.18. The characteristics of the Series E Preferred Stock require that this instrument be treated as mezzanine equity. The Company bifurcated the fair value of the embedded conversion options and redemption options from the preferred stock since the conversion options and certain redemption options were determined to not be clearly and closely related to the Series E Preferred Stock and recorded the fair value of the embedded conversion and redemption options as long-term derivative liabilities. The Company also recorded the fair value of the warrants as a long-term derivative liability. The fair value of the preferred stock (net of issuance costs and discounts), the embedded derivatives, and warrant derivative were approximately $2,721,100, $257,000 and $170,600, respectively, as of September 30, 2012. The Company will report changes in the fair value of the embedded derivatives and warrant derivative in earnings within other income (expense), net. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded a decrease in the fair value of the embedded derivatives of approximately $6,200 and an increase in the warrant derivative of approximately $70,800. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded a decrease in the fair value of the embedded derivatives of approximately $134,800 and an increase in the warrant derivative of approximately $87,900. In October 2012, the Company pre-paid the outstanding balance of the Preferred Shares, and the shares are no longer outstanding (see note 16). The $2,500,000 escrowed cash was released and applied to the aggregate redemption price.
