State Of Texas Funding [Abstract] |
State of Texas Funding | State of Texas Funding In March 2010, the Texas Emerging Technology Fund awarded 1 st Detect $1.8 million for the development and marketing of the Miniature Chemical Detector, a portable mass spectrometer designed to provide mass spectrometry analytics in real time for explosive device detection in airports and the battlefield, industrial quality and process controls, environmental field applications and laboratory research. In exchange for the award, 1 st Detect granted a common stock purchase right and a note payable to the State of Texas. The economic substance of the transaction was that the State of Texas had purchased shares of 1 st Detect in exchange for the granted award. As of June 30, 2012, 1 st Detect had received $1.8 million in disbursements. In August 2014, 1 st Detect settled the note payable and common stock repurchase right with a payment of $2.3 million. The Company has accounted for the difference between the $2.3 million paid and the $1.8 million received as a deemed dividend in its calculation of earnings per share.
