In accordance with, and as part of, this share repurchase program, our Board has approved the adoption of several prearranged share repurchase plans intended to qualify for the safe harbor Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (10b5-1 Plan or Plan). During the quarter ended September 30, 2016, our Board approved a 10b5-1 Plan, which became effective on September 8, 2016 and terminated on the earlier of September 8, 2017 or when and if the maximum shares were repurchased. During the quarter ended December 31, 2016, the Investment Committee of our Board approved an additional concurrently running 10b5-1 Plan, which became effective on December 8, 2016 and terminated on the earlier of December 8, 2017 or when and if the maximum shares were repurchased. In February, 2017 our Board terminated the two effective 10b5-1 Plans in conjunction with the approval of our At The Market Offering Agreement (ATM or ATM Agreement) further described below. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, we repurchased 63,496 shares at an aggregate cost of $312,000, inclusive of fees under the Plans.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, we repurchased 33,026 shares at an aggregate cost, inclusive of fees under the plan of $220,000. During the quarter ended September 30, 2018, we repurchased 101,418 shares at an aggregate cost, inclusive of fees under the plan, of $1,034,000 and accordingly the 10b5-1 Plan terminated in accordance with its terms as the aggregate purchase price of shares under the plan was achieved.

On a cumulative basis, since the 2013 Board approval, we have repurchased a total of 374,071 shares under the share repurchase program at an aggregate cost of $2.3 million. All repurchases under the 10b5-1 Plans were administered through an independent broker. At The Market Offering Agreement In February 2017, our Board approved an ATM Agreement with Ascendiant Capital Markets, LLC (Ascendiant). The ATM Agreement allows us to sell shares of our common stock pursuant to specific parameters defined by us as well as those defined by the SEC and the ATM Agreement. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, we sold 8,276 shares of common stock at average prices of $6.04 and raised net proceeds of $48,000. The proceeds collected were accounted for as a reduction of the prepaid expenses relating to establishing the ATM. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, we sold 320,000 shares of common stock at an average price of $6.99 per share and raised proceeds of $2,169,000 net of commissions and fees paid to Ascendiant totaling $67,000. From the inception of the ATM in February 2017 through December 31, 2017, we sold 340,465 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of $2,311,000 net of commissions and fees paid to Ascendiant totaling $72,000. In December 2017, our Board suspended the ATM indefinitely. Our Board has the discretion to reactivate the ATM prior to February 16, 2020, the expiration of the ATM Agreement, unless earlier terminated by Ascendiant or us. |
