Stockholders' Equity

Note 10 – Stockholders’ Equity

Common Stock

On April 19, 2012, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell 1,600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, no par value per share (the “Common Stock”), for $11.75 per share, less a 6.0% underwriting commission. Under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted the underwriter an option to purchase up to an additional 240,000 shares of Common Stock at the public offering price, less a 6.0% underwriting commission, within 45 days from the date of the Underwriting Agreement to cover over-allotments, if any. The offering was made pursuant to the Company’s effective registration statement on Form S-3, as amended (Registration Statement No. 333-180322), and the Prospectus Supplement dated April 19, 2012. On April 23, 2012, the underwriter elected to fully exercise its overallotment option. The closing of the sale of an aggregate of 1,840,000 shares of Common Stock occurred on April 25, 2012. The offering resulted in aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $21.6 million and net proceeds of approximately $20.1 million after underwriting commissions and offering expenses.

Effective March 18, 2009, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a plan to repurchase up to $3.0 million (inclusive of commissions) of the Company’s common shares. The repurchase plan allowed the Company to repurchase shares from time to time through March 19, 2010. This repurchase plan was supplemented in December 2009 upon approval by the Board of Directors to extend the repurchase authority by an additional $3.0 million and continue until the repurchase plan is terminated by the Company or the maximum number of dollars has been expended. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company repurchased and retired a total of 83,594 shares at an average price of $8.23 per share and a total cost, inclusive of fees and commissions, of $693,000, or $8.29 per share.

As of March 28, 2011, the maximum amount designated for repurchases under this plan was expended and the share repurchase program was terminated.

Common Stock Warrants

At June 30, 2012, the Company has reserved 1,187,237 shares of common stock for issuance upon the exercise of its common stock warrants. A summary of the warrants outstanding at June 30, 2012 is presented below:

	Number Of Warrants Outstanding			Number of Common Shares Issuable Upon Conversion of Warrants Outstanding
Warrants issued with IPO units		1,666,668			833,334
Warrants issued to the Company’s placement agents net of forfeitures and repurchases		71,667			71,667
Warrants issued in 2011*		1,000,000			500,000
Warrants outstanding at December 31, 2011		2,738,335			1,405,001
Exercise of warrants issued with IPO units		(302,194	)		(151,097	)
Exercise of placement agent warrants		(66,667	)		(66,667	)
Warrants outstanding at June 30, 2012		2,369,474			1,187,237

* In connection with the HomeWise assumption transaction in November 2011, the Company issued 1,000,000 warrants, which may be exercised to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a per share exercise price of $9.10.

The warrants issued prior to 2011 may be exercised at an exercise price equal to $9.10 per share on or before July 30, 2013. At any time after January 30, 2009 and before the expiration of the warrants, the Company at its option may cancel the warrants in whole or in part, provided that the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock has exceeded $11.38 for at least ten trading days within any period of twenty consecutive trading days, including the last trading day of the period. The placement agents also have the option to effect a cashless exercise in which the warrants would be exchanged for the number of shares which is equal to the intrinsic value of the warrant divided by the current value of the underlying shares. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, 10,546 shares of common stock were issued upon the cashless exercise of 66,667 warrants in February.

The fair value of warrants issued in 2011 was estimated on the date of issuance using the following assumptions and the Black-Scholes option pricing model:

Expected volatility		52	%
Risk-free interest rate		.23	%
Expected dividend yield		5.00	%
Expected life (in years)		1.75
Per share grant date fair value of warrants issued	$	0.754

The Company is amortizing the $754,000 aggregate value of the warrants over the expected policy term of the policies assumed in the transaction. The warrants, the issuance of which is not registered or required to be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, are exercisable for a term beginning on November 1, 2011 through July 31, 2013 unless cancelled earlier at the Company’s option under the terms specified by the warrant agreement.

Preferred Stock

In March 2011 the Company designated 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s preferred stock as Series A cumulative convertible preferred stock (“Series A Preferred”).

On March 25, 2011, the Company closed its preferred stock offering under which a total of 1,247,700 shares of its Series A Preferred were sold for gross proceeds of approximately $12.5 million and net proceeds after offering costs of approximately $11.3 million. Dividends on the Series A Preferred will be cumulative from the date of original issue and will accrue on the last day of each month, at an annual rate of 7.0% of the $10 liquidation preference per share, equivalent to a fixed annual amount of $0.70 per share. Accrued but unpaid dividends will accumulate and earn additional dividends at 7.0%, compounded monthly.

Shareholders of Series A Preferred may convert all or any portion of their shares, at their option, at any time, into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion rate of one share of common stock for each share of Series A Preferred, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of $10 per share; provided, however, that the Company may terminate this conversion right on or after March 31, 2014, if for at least twenty trading days within any period of thirty consecutive trading days, the market price of the Company’s common stock exceeds the conversion price of the Series A Preferred by more than 20% and our common stock is then traded on the New York Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ Global Select Market, the NASDAQ Global Market, the NASDAQ Capital Market, or the NYSE Amex. Under certain circumstances, the Company will be required to adjust the conversion rate. The initial conversion price of $10 per share is subject to proportionate adjustment in the event of stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, or similar changes with respect to the Company’s common stock.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, holders of 454,235 and 655,376 shares of Series A Preferred converted their Series A Preferred shares to 454,235 and 655,376 shares of common stock, respectively. There were no preferred stock conversions during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. As of June 30, 2012, 592,324 shares of Series A Preferred remain outstanding.

Shareholders of record of the Company’s Series A Preferred at the close of business on a date for determining shareholders entitled to dividends will be entitled to receive the dividends payable on their Series A Preferred shares on the corresponding dividend payment date notwithstanding the conversion of such Series A Preferred shares before the dividend payment date. The Series A Preferred terms include a provision requiring such shareholders to pay an amount equal to the amount of the dividend payable. That requirement has been permanently waived by the Company.

Holders of the Series A Preferred shares generally have no voting rights, except under limited circumstances, and holders are entitled to receive cumulative preferential dividends when and as declared by the Company’s Board of Directors.

In addition, the Company is authorized to issue up to an additional 18,500,000 shares of preferred stock, no par value. The authorized but unissued and undesignated preferred stock may be issued in one or more series and the shares of each series shall have such rights as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors subject to the rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred.

On May 31, 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend on its Series A Preferred shares in the amount of $0.05833 per share for each of the months of July, August, and September 2012. The July 2012 dividend is payable July 27, 2012 to shareholders of record at the close of business on July 2, 2012. The August 2012 dividend is payable August 27, 2012 to shareholders of record at the close of business on August 1, 2012. The September 2012 dividend is payable September 27, 2012 to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 4, 2012.
