Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

Between May 10, 2010 and May 26, 2010, holders of Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the “Warrants,” and the underlying shares of common stock, the “Warrant Shares”) that we sold in a private placement on February 14, 2006, exercised Warrants to purchase 2,733,921 Warrant Shares for aggregate cash proceeds of $1,366,961 paid to us. We issued and sold the Warrant Shares to accredited investors in exempt transactions pursuant to Section 4(2) the Securities Act of 1933. We reported the 2006 sale of the Warrants in a Form 8-K Current Report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 15, 2006.

We have received $2,055,715 aggregate cash proceeds from exercise of the Warrants between April 29, 2010 and May 26, 2010. We previously reported aggregate cash proceeds and number of Warrant Shares purchased from April 29, 2010 through May 10, 2010 in our Form 10-Q Quarterly Report filed with the SEC on May 12, 2010 (the “Form 10-Q”). For purposes of our obligation as a smaller reporting company to report sales of unregistered securities pursuant to this Item 3.02, as of May 24, 2010, sales of Warrant Shares after May 10, 2010, exceeded 5% of the number of our outstanding shares of common stock since our last report of such sales in the Form 10-Q. All Warrant Shares were purchased for an exercise price of $0.50.
