Note 11 - Preferred Stock

In August 2011, certain holders of the Company’s Series A-2 Preferred Stock elected to convert 965 shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock into 2,413,000 shares of common stock of the Company (the “A-2 Conversion”) at the original conversion price. Each of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock shares was exchanged for 2,500 shares of common stock, pursuant to the terms of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation.

In connection with the A-2 Conversion, the Company entered into a Series B Preferred Consent and Exchange Agreement dated August 3, 2011 with the holder of the Series B Preferred Stock, which provided for the issuance of 100 shares of a new Series B-1 Preferred Stock in exchange for cancelling all of the issued and outstanding Series B Preferred Stock. As a result of the exchange, there are currently 100 shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock outstanding and no shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding.

The Company and the holders of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock entered into a Stockholders Agreement dated August 3, 2011 (the "Stockholders Agreement"), which provides for a mandatory redemption of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock upon the completion of a "public offering" (as such term is defined in the Stockholders Agreement) that satisfies certain conditions. As the circumstances under which the Series B-1 Preferred Stock becomes redeemable are solely within the control and decision of the Company, these shares have been accounted for as permanent equity.

Each share of Series B-1 Preferred Stock has a stated value of $100,000 per share (the “Series B-1 Stated Value”), and a liquidation preference equal to the Series B-1 Stated Value plus all accrued and unpaid dividends (the “Series B-1 Liquidation Preference”). The Series B-1 Preferred Stock is not convertible into common stock. The Series B-1 Preferred Stock is senior to all other classes of equity and, commencing on January 1, 2013, is entitled to cumulative dividends from January 1, 2013, at a rate of 4% per annum, payable quarterly, based on the Series B-1 Stated Value. Commencing January 1, 2014, the cumulative dividend rate increases to 6% per annum, payable quarterly, based on the Series B-1 Stated Value. The Company may, at its option at any time, redeem all or a portion of the outstanding shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock by paying the Series B-1 Liquidation Preference.

Each share of Series A-2 Preferred Stock has a stated value of $7,500 per share (the “A-2 Stated Value”), a liquidation preference equal to the Series A-2 Stated Value, and is convertible at the holder’s election into common stock at a conversion price per share of $3.00. Therefore, each share of Series A-2 Preferred Stock is convertible into 2,500 shares of common stock. The Series A-2 Preferred Stock is subordinate to the Series B-1 Preferred Stock but senior to all other classes of equity, has weighted average anti-dilution protection and, commencing on January 1, 2013, is entitled to cumulative dividends at a rate of 5% per annum, payable quarterly, based on the Series A-2 Stated Value. Once dividend payments commence, all dividends are payable at the option of the holder in cash or through the issuance of a number of additional shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock with an aggregate liquidation preference equal to the dividend amount payable on the applicable dividend payment date.

Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. As of December 31, 2011, there are: 100 shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock authorized, issued and outstanding; 7,500 shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock authorized and 94 shares issued and outstanding; and 4,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock authorized and no shares issued or outstanding.

In accordance with ASC Topic 815, we evaluated whether our convertible preferred stock contains provisions that protect holders from declines in our stock price or otherwise could result in modification of the exercise price and/or shares to be issued under the respective preferred stock agreements based on a variable that is not an input to the fairvalue of a “fixed-for-fixed” option and require a derivative liability. The Company determined no derivative liability is required under ASC Topic 815 with respect to our convertible preferred stock. A contingent beneficial conversion amount is required to be calculated and recognized when and if the adjusted conversion price of the convertible preferred stock, currently $3.00, is adjusted to reflect a down round stock issuance that reduces the conversion price below the $1.16 fair value of the common stock on the issuance date of the convertible preferred stock.
