Common Stock Options and Warrants On March 31, 2008, the Company issued warrants to the investment bankers, who assisted in the sale of a former subsidiary, to purchase 219,298 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.874 per share, which are exercisable until March 31, 2015.  The warrants were valued at $76,000 using the Black-Scholes model and treated as permanent equity. There were 0 exercises of options or warrants by employees and consultants during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012. Employee Stock Purchase Plan During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, the Company issued 140,566 shares of its common stock to its employees pursuant to the terms of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the ESP Plan), as amended, and received cash proceeds of approximately $7,000.  During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, the Company also recorded stock compensation of $1,000 to reflect the effect of the benefit received by the employees for the issuance of common stock at a 15% discount to the fair market value of the Companys common stock on the settlement date.  As of March 31, 2012, the Company issued all 500,000 shares authorized for issuance under the ESP Plan.  Accordingly, there were 0 shares of its common stock available for issuance or issued pursuant to the ESP Plan during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013. Treasury Stock and Other Transactions In June 2001, the Board of Directors adopted a share repurchase program authorizing the repurchase by the Company of up to 250,000 of its shares of common stock.  In June 2004, the Board of Directors authorized the purchase of an additional 500,000 shares of common stock.  Since June 2001, a total of 251,379 shares have been repurchased by the Company under the share repurchase program, leaving 498,621 shares remaining to purchase under the share repurchase program.  0 repurchases were made during the years ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012.  The share repurchase program authorizes repurchases from time to time in open market transactions, through privately negotiated transactions, block transactions or otherwise, at times and prices deemed appropriate by management, and is not subject to an expiration date. Stockholder Rights Plan The Companys Board of Directors approved the adoption of a stockholder rights plan (the Rights Plan) under which all stockholders of record as of February 8, 2008 will receive rights to purchase shares of the Junior Preferred Stock (the Rights).  The Rights will be distributed as a dividend.  Initially, the Rights will attach to, and trade with, the Companys common stock.  Subject to the terms, conditions and limitations of the Rights Plan, the Rights will become exercisable if (among other things) a person or group acquires 15% or more of the Companys common stock.  Upon such an event, and payment of the purchase price, each Right (except those held by the acquiring person or group) will entitle the holder to acquire shares of the Companys common stock (or the economic equivalent thereof) having a value equal to twice the purchase price.  The Companys Board of Directors may redeem the Rights prior to the time they are triggered.  In the event of an unsolicited attempt to acquire the Company, the Rights Plan is intended to facilitate the full realization of stockholder value in the Company and the fair and equal treatment of all Company stockholders.  The Rights Plan does not prevent a takeover attempt.falsefalsefalsenonnum:textBlockItemTypenaThe entire disclosure for shareholders' equity, comprised of portions attributable to the parent entity and noncontrolling interest, if any, including other comprehensive income (as applicable).
