Initial Public Offering – On March 8, 2013, the Company consummated its initial public offering of 2,625,000 shares of its common stock at a price to the public of $8.00 per share. The aggregate offering price for shares sold in the offering was $21 million. The offer and sale of all of the shares in the offering were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to registration statements on Form S-1 (File Nos. 333-187081 and 333-181594), which were declared effective by the SEC on March 4, 2013 and March 7, 2013, respectively. Aegis Capital Corp. and Merriman Capital, Inc. acted as the underwriters for the offering. The net proceeds of the offering, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions, the underwriters' accountable expense allowance of up to 1.5% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the firm shares and offering expenses payable by us, were approximately $18.1 million. 

 

Preferred Stock – The Company has no preferred stock issued. The Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws include provisions that allow the Company's Board of Directors to issue, without further action by the stockholders, up to 1,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock.

 

Common Stock– Following its IPO, the Company had one class of common stock outstanding with a total number of shares authorized of 25,000,000. As of December 31, 2014, the Company has 12,719,689 shares of common stock outstanding.

 

Share Repurchase Program – On April 29, 2013, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program pursuant to which the Company could repurchase up to $1 million of its outstanding common stock. The program was renewed by the Board of Directors on November 30, 2013 for an additional six-month period expiring on May 31, 2014. The repurchases under the program were permitted to be made from time to time at prevailing market prices in open market or privately negotiated transactions, depending upon market conditions. The manner, timing and amount of any repurchases were determined by the Company based on an evaluation of market conditions, stock price and other factors. Under the program, the purchases were funded from available working capital, and the repurchased shares are held in treasury. The program did not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had acquired 8,382 shares of its outstanding common stock in exchange for $37,117. The share repurchase has been recorded as treasury stock, at cost, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2014 and 2013. The Company acquired 6,182 shares during the year ended December 31, 2014 in exchange for $25,862.
