EVENTS DURING THE REPORTED PERIOD
 
On March 13, 2013, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain accredited investors (the "Unit Purchasers") pursuant to which, on March 13, 2013, the Company issued to the Unit Purchasers an aggregate of 6,300 Units, each consisting of (a) one share of the Company's newly designated Series A 5% convertible Preferred Stock, convertible into shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $5.80 per share, and (b) a Warrant to purchase, at an exercise price of $6.96 per share, up to 100% of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such share of Preferred Stock.  The shares of Preferred Stock comprising the Units were convertible into an aggregate of 1,086,178 shares of Common Stock and the Warrants comprising the Units are exercisable into an aggregate of 1,086,178 shares of Common Stock, in each case subject to adjustment as described below.
 
After giving effect to the payment of commissions to the placement agent for the offering and the payment of certain offerng expenses, the Company received net proceeds from the offering of approximately $5.4 million.
 
The issuance and sale of the Units constituted the second and final closing of an offering of the Company's securities in a private placement transaction.  On November 19, 2012, the Company completed the first closing of the offering, pursuant to which it issued and sold an aggregate of 165,057 shares of Common Stock at a price of $7.00 per share to certain accredited investors (the "First Closing Purchasers").  As a result of the conversion of the offering from an offering of Common Stock to an offering of Units, the Company agreed with the placement agent for the offering that, following the closing of the sale of the Units, the Company would exchange the shares of Common Stock acquired by each First Closing Purchaser in the first closing for such number of Units equal to the aggregate purchase price paid by such First Closing Purchaser in the first closing, divided by $1,000, in each case subject to the execution by the First Closing Purchaser of a consent to such modification.  Pursuant to this agreement, on May 13, 2013, the Company cancelled 162,907 of the 165,057 shares of Common Stock issued to the First Closing Purchasers and issued to such purchasers an aggregate of 1,140.35 Units.  These Units included Preferred Stock convertible into an aggregate of 196,597 shares of Common Stock and Warrants exercisable for 196,597 shares of Common Stock.  The total fair value of such Units is equal to the amount originally invested by the First Closing Purchasers that consented to exchange their shares into Units ($1,140,139).  As a result, the total fair value of such Units was classified out of stockholders equity in the second fiscal quarter of 2013 and was presented as temporary equity (convertible preferred stock) and liability (warrant with "down-round" provision), as applicable to each instrument.
 
Pursuant to a placement agent agreement between the Company and Andrew Garrett, Inc., the placement agent for the offering of the Units, at the closing of the sale of the Units the Company paid Andrew Garrett, Inc., as a commission, a cash amount equal to 7% of the aggregate sales price of the Units, plus 3% of the aggregate sales price as a management fee plus a non-accountable expense allowance equal to 3% of the aggregate sales price of the Units (totaling 13% of the gross cash proceeds).  In addition, pursuant to the placement agent agreement, the Company issued to Andrew Garrett, Inc., as additional consideration for its services as placement agent for the offering, warrants to purchase up to 217,234 shares of Common Stock and, on May 13, 2013, the Company issued to Andrew Garrett, Inc. warrants to purchase up to an additional 39,320 shares of Common Stock following the exchange of the shares of Common Stock issued to the First Closing Purchasers for Units.  Half of such warrants are exercisable at an exercise price of $5.80 per share, and the remainder of such warrants are exercisable at any exercise price of $6.96 per share.  Such warrants are not subject to the adjustments described above.  Also on May 13, 2013, the Company issued to Andrew Garrett, Inc. warrants to purchase an aggregate of 215 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $7.00 per share as consideration for its service as placement agent for the First Closing (representing 10% of the shares issued in the First Closing and not exchanged for Units).
 
In connection with the offering, the Company also agreed with the placement agent for the offering that, following the closing of the sale of the Units, the Company would issue to the holders of the 1,295,535 shares of Common Stock issued by the Company at a price of $6.25 per share pursuant to the Company's previously completed private placement of Common Stock (accrued during 2011 and 2010) such number of shares of Common Stock as would reduce the per share purchase price paid by such holders for such shares from $6.25 per share to $5.80 per share, in each case subject to the execution by the holder of a consent to such modification. As a result, upon the receipt of executed consents to modification from all such holders, the Company will issue to such holders an aggregate of 100,526 shares of Common Stock.  As of September 30, 2012, the Common Stock had a fair value of $2.77 per share.  The issuance of such shares has been accounted for as a stock dividend.  Accordingly, the fair value of the shares was charged to retained earnings against additional paid in capital. The conversion price of the shares of Preferred Stock that were included in the Units is subject to adjustment for certain issuances of Common Stock or other securities of the Company at an effective price per share that is lower than the conversion price then in effect, as well as for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations of shares, similar recapitalization transactions and certain pro-rata distributions to common stockholders.
 
Holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends at a rate of 5% per annum, based on the stated value per share of Preferred Stock, which was initially $1,000 per share.  Dividends on the Preferred Stock are payable quarterly on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year, beginning on March 31, 2013, and on each conversion date (with respect to the shares of Preferred Stock being converted).  Until September 13, 2013, dividends are payable only in cash.  Thereafter, dividends on the Preferred Stock will be payable, at the option of the Company, in cash and/or, if certain conditions are satisfied (including, among others, that the volume weighted average trading price for the Common Stock on its principal trading market is equal to or greater than 110% of the then current conversion price for the Preferred Stock for five consecutive trading days prior to the dividend payment date), in shares of Common Stock.  Shares of Common Stock issued as payment of dividends, if any, will be valued at the then current conversion price of the Preferred Stock.  The Company will incur a late fee of 9% per annum, payable in cash, on dividends that are not paid within three trading days of the applicable dividend payment date.
 
The Company may become obligated to redeem the Preferred Stock in cash upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, including, among others, a material breach by the Company of certain contractual obligations to the holders of the Preferred Stock, the occurrence of a change in control of the Company, the occurrence of certain insolvency events relating to the Company, or the failure of the Common Stock to continue to be listed or quoted for trading on one or more specified United States securities exchanges or a regulated quotation service.  In addition, upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, each holder of Preferred Stock will have the option to require the Company to redeem such holder's shares of Preferred Stock for a redemption price payable in shares of Common Stock or receive an increased dividend rate of 9% on all of such holder's outstanding Preferred Stock.
 
Subject to certain conditions contained in the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights relating to the Preferred Stock (the "Certificate of Designations"), the Company will have the option to force the conversion of the Preferred Stock (in whole or in part) if the volume weighted average price for the Common Stock on its principal trading market exceeds $11.60 for each of any 20 trading days during any 30 consecutive Trading Day period and the average daily dollar trading value for the Common Stock during such 30 day period exceeds $100,000.   If the Company fails to timely deliver certificates for shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock (the "Conversion Shares") and, as a result, the holder is required by its brokerage firm to purchase shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such holder of the Conversion Shares (a "Buy-In"), the Company will be required to: (a) pay the converting holder in cash an amount equal to the amount, if any, by which such holder's total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds the product of (i) the aggregate number of Conversion Shares due to the holder, multiplied by (ii) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage commissions); and (b) at the option of such holder, either reissue (if surrendered) the shares of Preferred Stock equal to the number of shares of Preferred Stock submitted for conversion (in which case, such conversion will be deemed rescinded) or deliver to such holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if the Company had timely complied with its delivery requirements.  In addition, the Company will be required to pay partial liquidated damages of $10 for each $1,000 of stated value of any shares of Preferred Stock which have been converted by a holder and in respect of which the Company fails to deliver Conversion Shares by the eighth day following the applicable conversion date.
 
As long as at least 15% of the originally issued shares of Preferred Stock are outstanding, without the written consent of the holders of a majority in stated value of the outstanding Preferred Stock, the Company will not be permitted to, among other things, incur indebtedness or liens not permitted under the Certificate of Designations; repay, repurchase, pay dividends on or otherwise make distributions in respect of any shares of Common Stock or other securities junior to the Preferred Stock; or enter into certain transactions with affiliates of the Company.
 
Subject to the beneficial ownership limitation described below, holders of Preferred Stock will vote together with the holders of Common Stock on an as-converted basis.  Holders will not be permitted to convert their Preferred Stock if such conversion would cause such holder to beneficially own more than 4.99% of the outstanding number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after giving effect to such conversion (subject to increase to 9.99%, at the option of the holder, upon no less than 61 days prior written notice to the Company) (the "Beneficial Ownership Limitation").  In addition, no holder may vote any shares of Preferred Stock (on an as converted to Common Stock basis) in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation.
 
Subject to certain limitations, so long as any Purchaser holds any shares of Preferred Stock, if (1) the Company sells any shares of Common Stock or other securities convertible into, or rights to acquire, Common Stock and (2) a Purchaser then holding Preferred Stock, Warrants, Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares (defined below) reasonably believes that any of the terms and conditions appurtenant to such issuance or sale are more favorable to the purchaser in such subsequent sale of securities than are the terms and conditions granted to such Purchaser, then the Purchaser will be permitted to require the Company to amend the terms of this transaction (only with respect to such Purchaser) so as to match the terms of the subsequent issuance (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any terms and provisions that are or may be less favorable to such Purchaser).
 
The Warrants included in the Units have a five-year term commencing on March 13, 2013 and ending on March 13, 2018 (except for the Warrants issued on May 13, 2013, as described above, which have a five-year term expiring on May 13, 2018).  Until the end of the term, the Warrants will be exercisable at any time and from time to time at an exercise price of $6.96 per share.  The Warrants contain adjustment provisions substantially similar to the adjustment provisions of the Preferred Stock as described above, including provisions requiring an adjustment of the exercise price of the Warrants to the price at which the Company subsequently issues shares or other equity-linked financial instruments, if that price is less than the original exercise price of the Warrants ("down-round" protection, see Note 2B).  In addition, the Warrants provide for protection for a Buy-In on substantially the same terms as described above with respect to the Preferred Stock.  No holder may exercise its Warrants in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation.
 
The allocation of the issuance proceeds to the Preferred Stock and to the detachable warrants and their respective issuance costs is described in Note 2C and Note 2D above.
 
On May 14, 2013, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared effective a Registration Statement on Form S-1 registering for resale by the holders thereof an aggregate of 2,824,471 shares of the Company's Common Stock, consisting of 1,284,925 Shares issuable to certain of the selling stockholders named in the Registration Statement (the "Selling Stockholders") upon conversion of outstanding shares of the Company's Preferred Stock, 1,539,546 Shares issuable to certain of the Selling Stockholders upon exercise of outstanding warrants and 2,150 shares of Common Stock previously issued to a Selling Stockholder.
