TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
On November 30, 2005, the Company concluded its previously announced private placement of
22,222,222 shares of common stock, par value $.0001 per share (Common Stock) at $0.45 per share
representing total gross proceeds of $10,000,000. Of
this amount, 13,268,776 shares of Common Stock
(for aggregate gross proceeds of $5,970,950) were sold to investors
unrelated to the Company. The
Company has accepted the proceeds from these sales and will issue the shares to the investors. The Company
has also received binding subscriptions for 555,555 shares of Common Stock (for aggregate gross
proceeds of $250,000) from investors unrelated to the Company, the issuance of which are subject to
approval by the American Stock Exchange. Additionally, the Company has received binding
subscriptions for 8,397,891 shares of Common stock (representing aggregate gross proceeds of
approximately $3,779,050) from investors related to the Company. The
shares to be sold to the related investors are subject to shareholder approval which is anticipated to be obtained at the Companys
next annual meeting. The Common Stock was sold under
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, on a private placement basis to accredited investors.
We have agreed to file a registration statement to register for resale the shares of Common
Stock sold in the private placement by November 30, 2005 and have it declared effective by the SEC
as promptly as practicable thereafter.
The Company intends to use the proceeds of the private placement for general working capital
purposes.
