Going Concern and Management's Plan
3. Going Concern and Management’s Plan

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business and the continuation of the Company as a going concern.

In February 2012, a concerned stockholder group (“Concerned Stockholder Group”) requested a special stockholders’ meeting (the “Special Meeting”). If the Special Meeting had resulted in a change in the majority of our Board of Directors (the “Board”) under the terms of the Company’s credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. and KeyBank National Association (the “Lenders”), such change would have constituted a change in control and an event of default, which would have allowed the Lenders to cause the debt to be immediately due and payable. This possibility of a change in the majority representation of the Board and consequent event of default under the credit facility, which would have allowed the Lenders to cause the debt of $24.0 million as of December 31, 2011 to become immediately due and payable, raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The 2011 consolidated financial statements did not include any adjustments, if any, that would have resulted from the outcome of this uncertainty. As further described herein, although a change in the board composition took place during the second quarter of 2012, the Company negotiated an amendment to its credit agreement to exclude this change of board members from its definition of an event of default and the Special Meeting was cancelled.

On April 24, 2012, the Company reached an agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with the Concerned Stockholder Group, resulting in a series of changes to the Board and senior leadership.

Concurrent with and as a condition of the Settlement Agreement, on April 24, 2012, Mr. McDevitt entered into a consulting agreement with the Company under which he resigned as CEO of the Company and agreed to serve as a consultant until July 31, 2012. Under the consulting agreement, Mr. McDevitt received a consulting fee of $1.0 million, paid in shares of the Company’s common stock. Shares issued to Mr. McDevitt were issued from the Company’s 2007 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”), valued at the average closing price of a share on the NYSE-MKT on the five trading days preceding the date of such issuance and totaled 0.5 million shares.

Per the terms of the consulting agreement, Mr. McDevitt’s Share Award Agreement entered into on April 6, 2010 with the Company terminated, including the 2.0 million shares of common stock potentially issuable under such agreement. Approximately $6.0 million in unrecognized compensation expense associated with such shares will not be recognized by the Company in the future. As these shares were forfeited before the requisite service period for this award was rendered, previously recognized compensation expense of $1.3 million was reversed and recorded as a reduction of general and administrative expense during the three months ended June 30, 2012.

On November 30, 2012, the Company entered into a new credit facility which replaced the prior facility and provided adequate funding for Company operations.
