Note 3 – Convertible Debentures

On December 20, 2005, the Company issued $25 million in aggregate principal amount of senior subordinated convertible debentures (the "Debentures") due and payable in quarterly installments of $2.8 million which commenced December 2008. However, the holder, at its election, could defer each quarterly payment one time, for a 24 month period. As the holder had elected to defer some quarterly installments, the outstanding principal of the Debentures at December 31, 2010 was $8.3 million. In February 2011, the holder of the Debentures converted the remaining $8.3 million principal balance into 514,086 shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $16.21 per share. On the conversion date, the common stock had a fair value of $9.3 million, which was based on the closing market price. This conversion resulted in a gain of $1.0 million, which is included in "gain on embedded derivatives" in the consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Interest paid with cash and principal converted into shares of common stock are as follows (in thousands):

Until the conversion of the remaining principal balance in February 2011, the principal balance was convertible by the holder at any time into common shares. In addition, after eighteen months from the issue date, the Company could have required that a specified amount of the principal of the Debentures be converted if certain conditions were satisfied for a period of 20 consecutive trading days. The Company accounted for the conversion options in the Debentures as derivative liabilities in accordance with the Derivatives and Hedging Topic of the FASB ASC. The discount at the issuance date of $9.2 million related to the fair value of the conversion options and embedded warrants issued in connection with the Debentures, and debt issuance costs, was amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the Debentures. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, $6,000 of the discount and prepaid fees were amortized. Upon conversion of the remaining principal balance of the Debentures into shares of the Company's common stock in February 2011, the remaining unamortized discount was written off and is included in "amortization of debt discount and prepaid debt costs" in the consolidated statement of operations.

For the three months ended March 31, 2011, the change in fair value on revaluation of the conversion rights was the difference between the fair value on the conversion date in February 2011 and the fair value at the beginning of the period using the value calculated by the Black-Scholes pricing model. The effect of the fair market value adjustment for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was a $78,000 gain, which is recorded as "gain on embedded derivatives" in the consolidated statement of operations.

As long as the Debentures were outstanding, the Company was required to maintain a minimum cash balance of $8.0 million. The cash restriction was released in February 2011 when the outstanding principal amount of the convertible debentures was converted to shares of the Company's common stock.
