These transactions resulted in aggregate net cash proceeds to the Company of approximately $3 million.
At September 30, 2017, the Company reported $2.4 million of total shareholders’ equity in its consolidated balance sheets included in its Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 29, 2017.
