Stockholders' Equity Note Disclosure [Text Block]

(10)         STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Effective October 30, 2012, we completed a one-for-forty reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock which was approved by shareholders on October 29, 2012.  The reverse stock split was initiated to reduce the amount of small shareholders that typically do not vote their shares. Accordingly, all share and per share amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the reverse stock split. In conjunction with the reverse stock split, our shareholders also approved a reduction of our common stock shares authorized from 24 million shares to 2 million shares.  Our shares authorized have been adjusted to reflect this change.

No changes in the number of preferred shares occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2013. The changes in the number of common and treasury shares held during the three months ended March 31, 2013 are as follows:

	Number of Shares

Treasury Stock – At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we held no shares of treasury stock. In January 2013, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized the cancellation of our amended September 2005 stock repurchase plan and authorized a new stock repurchase program which allows us to buy back up to 45 thousand shares of our common stock.  During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we purchased and retired 21,810 shares of our common stock in privately negotiated transactions for approximately $1.9 million. During April 2013, we purchased and retired 11,579 additional shares of our common stock for approximately $1.1 million.  As of April 30, 2013, approximately 12 thousand shares remained available for repurchase under our repurchase program.

Additional Paid in Capital - Additional paid in capital decreased by $1.9 million during the three month period ended March 31, 2013 primarily due to the purchase and retirement of our common stock and BWI stock compensation.
