9.  SERIES B MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK

In August 2014, the Company closed on a private placement offering of its mandatorily redeemable Series B Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”). The financing was funded in installments and completed on December 24, 2015. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had issued 35,000 shares of its Series B Preferred Stock. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the outstanding number of shares was 16,000 and 16,900, respectively. The Company has classified the Series B Preferred Stock as a liability in accordance with ASC Topic No. 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” which states that mandatorily redeemable financial instruments should be classified as liabilities and therefore the related dividend payments are treated as a component of interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

The Series B Preferred Stock has a $0.01 par value and a $1,000 liquidation preference. The Series B Preferred Stock shall be redeemed through a cash payment of the face value of the shares outstanding at redemption. The preferred return on the funds invested is 14% and shall be paid on a monthly basis. The Series B Preferred Stock was scheduled to be redeemed on August 1, 2017; however, the Company had two one year options to extend the redemption date. On June 30, 2017, the Company exercised its option to extend the redemption date to August 1, 2018 and paid an extension fee of $153,500. The Company paid an additional $153,500 to exercise its option to extend the redemption date to August 1, 2019 in July 2018. The Company incurred approximately $3.1 million in legal and underwriting costs related to this transaction. These costs have been recorded as deferred financing costs on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability and are being amortized over the term of the agreement. Amortization expense totaling approximately $61,000 and $19,000 was included in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The unamortized deferred costs totaled $61,000 and $122,000 as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company redeemed 900 shares of its Series B Preferred Stock for $900,000. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company redeemed 13,800 shares of its Series B Preferred Stock for $13.8 million.    As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the outstanding number of shares was 16,000 and 16,900, respectively, and redeemable for $16 million and $16.9 million in cash, respectively.
