Note 10.  Treasury Stock

During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program, whereby the Company could repurchase up to 10,000,000 shares of its outstanding Common Stock. The shares may be repurchased from time-to-time in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions at prices the Company deems appropriate. The program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of Common Stock and the program may be modified or suspended at any time at the Company’s discretion.  The stock repurchase plan will be funded through the Company’s cash on hand and the Credit Agreement.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company repurchased 9,770,991 shares of Common Stock at an average price of approximately $0.126 per share, for a total of $1,227,000. The repurchase of 8,000,000 of such shares of Common Stock was effected through a broker dealer making a market in the Company’s shares on behalf of an affiliate of the Company. The remaining 1,770,991 shares of Common Stock were repurchased in the open market.

During August 2013, the Board of Directors renewed and extended the Company’s share repurchase authority to enable it to repurchase up to an additional 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company repurchased 2,263,110 shares of Common Stock at an average price of approximately $0.182 per share, for a total of approximately $410,000.
