Shareholders' Deficit [Abstract]

Stockholders' Equity Note Disclosure [Text Block]

Shareholders’ Deficit

In connection with the Company's issuance of convertible preferred stock in 2007, which was subsequently exchanged for shares of newly-issued common stock in 2011, the Company accrued an estimate for offering costs incurred by the preferred stock investors. In accordance with the relevant accounting guidance, the Company originally recorded these costs to additional paid in capital as a reduction of the proceeds from issuance. As the statute of limitations whereby the investors may claim the expenses lapsed during the three months ended September 30, 2013, the Company adjusted the estimated accrued offering costs, resulting in a $1.8 million increase to additional paid in capital.

Noncontrolling Interests –During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company distributed approximately $0.7 million of excess capital, as determined in accordance with the StreetLinks operating agreement, to the noncontrolling members of StreetLinks.  Each member's share of the distribution is determined based on their ownership interest at the time of the distribution. 

During the second quarter of 2013, the Company foreclosed on the membership interests of the noncontrolling members in full satisfaction of Advent's outstanding intercompany debt obligations. In accordance with the relevant accounting guidance, this debt extinguishment was treated as an equity transaction, reducing Advent's noncontrolling interest deficit by approximately $1.9 million. See Note 4 for additional information regarding this acquisition.
