Preliminary Prospectus
GRAPHON CORPORATION
58,575,000 Shares of Common Stock
_______________________
This prospectus relates to the sale or other disposition from time to time of up to an aggregate of 58,575,000 shares of our common stock by the persons described in this prospectus, whom we call the “selling stockholders,” identified in the section entitled “Selling Stockholders” in this prospectus, or their transferees. Of such 58,575,000 shares, 35,500,000 shares are currently outstanding and 23,075,000 shares are issuable upon exercise of warrants held by the selling stockholders. We are registering these shares as required by the terms of registration rights agreements between the selling stockholders and us. Such registration does not mean that the selling stockholders will actually offer or sell any of these shares. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale or other disposition of the shares of common stock offered by the selling stockholders. We will, however, receive the exercise price of any warrants exercised for cash. To the extent that we received cash upon exercise of any warrants, we expect to use that cash for working capital and general corporate purposes.
The selling stockholders may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. For additional information, you should refer to the section entitled “Plan of Distribution” of this prospectus. We are contractually obligated to pay all expenses of registration incurred in connection with this offering, except any underwriting discounts and commissions incurred by the selling stockholders.
Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “GOJO.” The closing sales price of our common stock on November 21 , 2011 was $0.22 per share.
This investment involves risks. You should refer to the discussion of risk factors, beginning on page 4 of this prospectus.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Overview
We are developers of cloud application delivery software for multiple computer operating systems, including Windows, UNIX and several Linux-based variants. Our immediate focus is on Web-enabling applications for use and/or resale by independent software vendors (ISVs), corporate enterprises, governmental and educational institutions, and others who wish to take advantage of cross-platform remote access, and developing software-based secure, private cloud environments. We have also made significant investments in intellectual property. Our operations are conducted and managed in two business segments - “Software” and “Intellectual Property.”
Cloud application delivery is a broad-based term that describes software technologies that can create or enhance the portability, manageability and/or compatibility of a software application or program. A public cloud refers to a system that is generally externally sited from a particular enterprise and whose resources are accessible over the Internet to anyone willing to purchase such services. A private cloud refers to a system that is contained entirely within a private network, e.g., within an enterprise, a department within an enterprise or hosted on dedicated rented machines.
Cloud application delivery software is sometimes referred to, or categorized, as thin-client computing or server-based computing. It is a software model wherein traditional desktop software applications are relocated to run entirely on a server, or host computer. This centralized deployment and management of applications reduces the complexity and total costs associated with enterprise computing. Our software architecture provides application developers with the ability to relocate their desktop applications to a host computer from where they can be quickly accessed by a wide range of computer and display devices over a variety of connections. Applications can be Web-enabled without the need to modify the original Windows, UNIX or Linux application’s software. Secure private cloud environments can be implemented where the applications and data remain centralized behind a secure firewall and are accessed from remote locations.
We are a Delaware corporation, founded in May 1996. Our headquarters are located at 5400 Soquel Avenue, Suite A2, Santa Cruz, California, 95062 and our phone number is 1-800-GRAPHON (1-800-472-7466). We also have offices in Concord, New Hampshire, Irvine, California, and Charlotte, North Carolina. Additionally, we have remote employees located in various states, as well as internationally in England and Israel. Our Internet Website is http://www.graphon.com. The information on our Website is not part of this prospectus.
Our Products
Our primary product offerings can be categorized into product families as follows:
GO-Global Host: Host products allow access to applications from remote locations and a variety of connections, including the Internet and dial-up connections. Such access allows applications to be run via a Web browser, over many types of data connections, regardless of the bandwidth or operating system. Web-enabling is achieved without modifying the underlying application’s code or requiring add-ons. Host family products include GO-Global
Windows Host 4 and all currently available versions of our legacy GO-Global products (GO-Global for Windows 3.2 and GO-Global for UNIX 2.2).
GO-Global Cloud: Cloud products offer a centralized management suite that gives users the ability to access and share applications, files and documents on Windows, UNIX and Linux computers via simple hyperlinks. They give administrators extensive control over user rights and privileges, and allow them to monitor and manage clusters of GO-Global Hosts that support thousands of users. GO-Global Cloud products give application developers the ability to integrate Windows, UNIX and Linux applications into their Web-based enterprise and workflow applications. GO-Global Cloud products include GO-Global Host capabilities. We released GO-Global Cloud for Windows in March 2011 and expect to release GO-Global Cloud for UNIX in the first half of 2012 .
GO-Global Client: We plan to develop Client products for portable and mobile devices. We released GO-Global iPad Client, our first product within this product family, during June 2011.
Private Placement
On September 1, 2011, we completed a sale of 35,500,000 million shares of our common stock in a private placement to a group of retail and institutional investors. We also issued five-year warrants to the investors to purchase an additional 17,750,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.26 per share. The total gross proceeds of the financing were $7.1 million and net proceeds, after deducting cash expenses including placement agent fees and other expenses, were approximately $6.1 million. We intend to use the proceeds for the development, commercialization and exploitation of our present and future intellectual property and working capital purposes. In connection with the private placement, the placement agent was issued warrants to purchase 3,550,000 shares of our common stock at $0.20 per share and warrants to purchase 1,775,000 shares of our common stock at $0.26 per share.
This prospectus relates to the sale or other disposition by the selling stockholders of the common stock sold to the investors in the private placement and the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants issued to the investors and the placement agent in the private placement.

Investing in our securities involves risks. Before investing in our securities, you should carefully consider the risks described below as well as the other information included in, and incorporated by reference in, this prospectus.
We have a history of operating losses and expect these losses to continue, at least for the near future.
We have experienced significant operating losses since we began operations. We incurred operating losses of $1,053,500 and $620,200 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $835,600 and $1,833,600 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. We expect that both our Software and Intellectual Property segments will incur operating losses for the year ended December 31, 2011; consequently, we expect to report an operating loss on a consolidated basis for the year ended December 31, 2011. In subsequent reporting periods, if revenues grow more slowly than anticipated, or if aggregate operating expenses exceed expectations, we will continue to be unprofitable. Even if we become profitable, we may be unable to sustain such profitability.
Weak economic conditions could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.
The current weak economic conditions, coupled with continued uncertainty as to its duration and severity, could negatively impact our current and prospective customers, resulting in delays or reductions in their technology purchases. As a result, we could experience fewer new orders, fewer renewals, longer sales cycles, the impact of the slower adoption of newer technologies, increased price competition, and downward pressure on our pricing during contract renewals, any of which could have a material and adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows. These weak economic conditions also may negatively impact our ability to collect payment for outstanding debts owed to us by our customers or other parties with whom we do business. We can not predict the timing or strength of any subsequent recovery.
Our revenue is typically generated from a limited number of significant customers.
A material portion of our revenue during any reporting period is typically generated from a limited number of significant customers, all of which are unrelated third parties. We categorize our customers into three broad categories for revenue recognition purposes: stocking resellers, non-stocking resellers and direct end users. If any of our significant non-stocking resellers or direct end users reduce their order level or fail to order during a reporting period, our revenue could be materially adversely impacted as we recognize revenue on sales to these customers upon product delivery, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria have been met.
Our significant stocking resellers are typically ISVs who have bundled our products with theirs to sell as Web-enabled versions of their products. These customers maintain inventories of our products for resale, and we do not recognize revenue until our products are resold to end-users, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. If these customers determine to maintain a lower level of inventory in the future and/or they are unable to sell their inventory to end-users as quickly as they have in the past, our revenue and business could be materially adversely impacted.
If we are unable to develop new products and enhancements to our existing products, our business, results of operations , financial condition and cash flows could be materially adversely impacted.
The market for our products and services are characterized by:
- frequent new product and service introductions and enhancements;
|
|
- evolving industry standards;
|
- fluctuations in customer demand; and
|
- changes in customer requirements.
|
Our future success depends on our ability to continually enhance our current products and develop and introduce new products that our customers choose to buy. If we are unable to satisfy our customers’ demands and remain competitive with other products that could satisfy their needs by introducing new products and enhancements, our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows could be materially adversely impacted. Our future success could be hindered by:
- the amount of cash we have available to fund investment in new products and enhancements;
|
- delays in our introduction of new products and/or enhancements of existing products;
|
- delays in market acceptance of new products and/or enhancements of existing products; and
|
- a competitor's announcement of new products and/or product enhancements or technologies that could replace or shorten the life cycle of our existing products.
|
For example, sales of our GO-Global Windows Host software could be affected by the announcement from Microsoft of the intended release, and the subsequent actual release, of a new Windows-based operating system, or an upgrade to a previously released Windows-based operating system version. These new or upgraded systems may contain similar features to our products or they could contain architectural changes that would temporarily prevent our products from functioning properly within a Windows-based operating system environment.
Sales of products within our GO-Global product families constitute a substantial majority of our revenue.
We anticipate that sales of products within our GO-Global product families, and related enhancements, will continue to constitute a substantial majority of our revenue for the foreseeable future. The success of our new GO-Global products depends on a number of factors including market acceptance of the new GO-Global products and our ability to manage the risks associated with product introduction. Declines in demand for our GO-Global products could occur as a result of:
- lack of success with our strategic partners;
|
- new competitive product releases and updates to existing competitive products;
|
- decreasing or stagnant information technology spending levels;
|
|
- technological changes, or;
|
- general economic conditions in the market in which we operate.
|
If our customers do not continue to purchase GO-Global products as a result of these or other factors, our revenue would decrease and our results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows would be adversely affected.
Our operating results in one or more future periods are likely to fluctuate significantly and may fail to meet or exceed the expectations of investors.
Our operating results are likely to fluctuate significantly in the future on a quarterly and annual basis due to a number of factors, many of which are outside our control. Factors that could cause our operating results to fluctuate include the following:
- our ability to maximize the revenue opportunities of our patents;
|
- variations in the size of orders by our customers;
|
- increased competition; and
|
- the proportion of overall revenues derived from different sales channels such as distributors, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and others.
|
In addition, our royalty and license revenues are impacted by fluctuations in OEM licensing activity from quarter to quarter, which may involve one-time orders from non-recurring customers, or customers who order infrequently. Our expense levels are based, in part, on expected future orders and sales; therefore, if orders and sales levels are below expectations, our operating results are likely to be materially adversely affected. Additionally, because significant portions of our expenses are fixed, a reduction in sales levels may disproportionately affect our net income. Also, we may reduce prices or increase spending in response to competition or to pursue new market opportunities. Because of these factors, our operating results in one or more future periods may fail to meet or exceed the expectations of investors. In that event, the trading price of our common stock would likely be adversely affected.
We will encounter challenges in recruiting, hiring and retaining replacements for any members of key management or other personnel who depart.
Our success and business strategy is dependent in large part on our ability to attract and retain key management and other personnel in certain areas of our business. If any of these employees were to leave, we would need to attract and retain replacements for them. Without a successful replacement, the loss of the services of one or more key members of our management group and other key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business. We do not have long-term employment agreements with any of our key personnel and any officer or other employee can terminate their relationship with us at any time. We may also need to add key personnel in the future, in order to successfully implement our business strategies. The market for such qualified personnel is competitive and it includes other potential employers whose financial resources for such qualified personnel are more substantial than ours. Consequently, we could find it difficult to attract, assimilate or retain such qualified personnel in sufficient numbers to successfully implement our business strategies.
Our failure to adequately protect our proprietary rights may adversely affect us.
Our commercial success is dependent, in large part, upon our ability to protect our proprietary rights. We rely on a combination of patent, copyright and trademark laws, and on trade secrets and confidentiality provisions and other contractual provisions to protect our proprietary rights. These measures afford only limited protection. We cannot assure you that measures we have taken will be
adequate to protect us from misappropriation or infringement of our intellectual property. Despite our efforts to protect proprietary rights, it may be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy aspects of our products or obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect our intellectual property rights as fully as do the laws of the United States. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that the existence of any proprietary rights will prevent the development of competitive products. The infringement upon, or loss of any proprietary rights, or the development of competitive products despite such proprietary rights, could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Our business significantly benefits from strategic relationships and there can be no assurance that such relationships will continue in the future.
Our business and strategy relies to a significant extent on our strategic relationships with other companies. There is no assurance that we will be able to maintain or develop any of these relationships or to replace them in the event any of these relationships are terminated. In addition, any failure to renew or extend any licenses between any third party and us may adversely affect our business.
We rely on indirect distribution channels for our products and may not be able to retain existing reseller relationships or to develop new reseller relationships.
Our products are primarily sold through several distribution channels. An integral part of our strategy is to strengthen our relationships with resellers such as OEMs, systems integrators, VARs, distributors and other vendors to encourage these parties to recommend or distribute our products and to add resellers both domestically and internationally. We currently invest, and intend to continue to invest, significant resources to expand our sales and marketing capabilities. We cannot assure you that we will be able to attract and/or retain resellers to market our products effectively. Our inability to attract resellers and the loss of any current reseller relationships could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows. Additionally, we cannot assure you that resellers will devote enough resources to provide effective sales and marketing support to our products.
The market in which we participate is highly competitive and has more established competitors.
The market we participate in is intensely competitive, rapidly evolving and subject to technological changes. We expect competition to increase as other companies introduce additional competitive products. In order to compete effectively, we must continually develop and market new and enhanced products and market those products at competitive prices. As markets for our products continue to develop, additional companies, including companies in the computer hardware, software and networking industries with significant market presence, may enter the markets in which we compete and further intensify competition. A number of our current and potential competitors have longer operating histories, greater name recognition and significantly greater financial, sales, technical, marketing and other resources than we do. We cannot give any assurance that our competitors will not develop and market competitive products that will offer superior price or performance features, or that new competitors will not enter our markets and offer such products. We believe that we will need to invest increased financial resources in research and development to remain competitive in the future. Such financial resources may not be available to us at the time or times that we need them, or upon terms acceptable to us. We cannot assure you that we will be able to establish and maintain a significant market position in the face of our competition and our failure to do so would adversely affect our business.
Our stock is thinly traded and its price has been historically volatile.
Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and is thinly traded. As such, holders of our stock are subject to a high risk of illiquidity, e.g., you may not be able to sell as many shares at the price you would like, or you may not be able to purchase as many shares at the price you would like, due to the low average daily trading volume of our stock. Additionally, the market price of our stock has historically been volatile; it has fluctuated significantly to date. The trading price of our stock is likely to continue to be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations. Your investment in our stock could lose value.
If a substantial number of shares of our common stock are sold into the public market, the price of our common stock could fall.
As of November 18, 2011, we had 81,886,926 shares of common stock outstanding . This prospectus relates to the sale or other disposition from time to time of up to 58,575,000 shares of our common stock by the selling stockholders or their transferees. Of such 58,575,000 shares, 35,500,000 shares are currently outstanding and 23,075,000 shares are issuable upon exercise of warrants held by the selling stockholders. As the outstanding shares held by the selling stockholders will be freely tradable as of the date of this prospectus and the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants held by the selling stockholders will be freely tradable on the date of exercise of such warrants, the sale of a substantial number of such shares into the public market may cause the price of our common stock to fall.
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale or other disposition of the shares of common stock offered by the selling stockholders. We will, however, receive the exercise price of any warrants exercised for cash. To the extent that we received cash upon exercise of any warrants, we expect to use that cash for working capital and general corporate purposes.
Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “GOJO”.
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the high and low closing sales price of our common stock.

The above quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not represent actual transactions.
On November 18, 2011 , there were approximately 177 holders of record of our common stock. The number of record holders of our common stock does not include beneficial owners holding shares through nominee names.
On November 21, 2011, the closing sales price of our common stock was $0.22 per share.
We have never declared or paid dividends on our common stock, nor do we anticipate paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the operations and expansion of our business. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will be dependent upon the earnings, financial condition, operating results, capital requirements and other factors as deemed necessary by the Board of Directors.
On September 1, 2011, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with a limited number of institutional and retail investors, all of whom were “accredited investors” within the meaning of Rule 501 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, pursuant to which we issued and sold for cash 35,500,000 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $0.20 per share, resulting in our receipt of gross proceeds of $7.1 million. We also issued warrants to the investors for no additional consideration to purchase an aggregate of 17,750,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.26 per share from September 1, 2011 through September 1, 2016. The closing sales price of our common stock on August 31, 2011 and September 1, 2011 was $0.1998 and $0.185 per share, respectively.
MDB Capital Group, LLC acted as our exclusive placement agent in connection with this transaction, for which it received, among other consideration, warrants to purchase 3,550,000 and 1,775,000 shares of our common stock at $0.20 and $0.26 per share, respectively.
This prospectus relates to our registration, for the account of such investors, as well as MDB Capital Group, LLC and its affiliates, of an aggregate of 58,575,000 shares of our common stock, including warrants to purchase 23,075,000 shares of our common stock. We are registering these shares as required by the terms of registration rights agreements between these selling stockholders and us. We have agreed to pay all expenses and costs to comply with our obligation to register the selling stockholders’ shares of common stock. We have also agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, arising under the Securities Act of 1933.
The information in the table and the footnotes to the table have been provided to us by the selling stockholders. The last column of this table assumes the sale of all of the shares of common stock offered by this prospectus. The registration of the offered shares does not mean that any or all of the selling stockholders will offer or sell any of these shares. Except as set forth in the notes to this table, there is not nor has there been a material relationship between us and any of the selling stockholders within the past three years.

|
(22)
|
All of such shares are issuable upon exercise of warrants owned by the selling stockholder.
|
The selling stockholders, which as used herein includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock received after the date of this prospectus from a selling stockholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer, may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.
The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of shares or interests therein:
- ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
|
- block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
|
- purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
|
- an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
|
- in the over-the-counter market;
|
- privately negotiated transactions;
|
- short sales effected after the date the registration statement of which this Prospectus is part is declared effective by the SEC;
|
- through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
|
- broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specific number of each shares at a stipulated price per share;
|
- a combination of any such methods of sale; and
|
- any other method permitted by applicable law.
|
The selling stockholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
In connection with the sale of our common stock or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of our common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell
pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholders from the sale of the common stock offered by them will be the purchase price of the common stock less discounts or commissions, if any. Each of the selling stockholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering. Upon any exercise of the warrants by payment of cash, however, we will receive the exercise price of the warrants - up to $5,786,500 if all of the warrants are exercised for cash. We intend to use such proceeds, if any, for working capital and general corporate purposes.
The selling stockholders also may resell all or a portion of the shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule.
The selling stockholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the common stock or interests therein may be "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Selling stockholders who are "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.
To the extent required, the shares of our common stock to be sold, the names of the selling stockholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agents, dealer or underwriter, any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.
In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the common stock may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the common stock may not be sold unless it has been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.
We have advised the selling stockholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling stockholders and their affiliates. In addition, to the extent applicable we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the selling stockholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The selling stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and state securities laws, relating to the registration of the shares offered by this prospectus.
We have agreed with the selling stockholders to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part effective until the earlier of (1) such time as all of the shares covered by this prospectus have been disposed of pursuant to and in accordance with the registration statement or (2) the date on which all of the shares may be sold without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act.
Common Stock
We are currently authorized to issue up to 195,000,000 shares of our common stock, $0.0001 par value. As of November 18, 2011, 81,886,926 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding, and held of record by approximately 177 persons. We estimate that there are in excess of 1,400 beneficial owners of our common stock.
Holders of shares of our common stock are entitled to such dividends as may be declared from time to time by the board in its discretion, on a ratable basis, out of funds legally available therefrom, and to a pro rata share of all assets available for distribution upon liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of our affairs. All of the outstanding shares of our common stock are fully paid and non-assessable.
Warrants
The material terms of the warrants issued to the selling stockholders are as follows:
- warrants to purchase an aggregate 19,525,000 shares of our common stock are exercisable at $0.26 per share and expire on September 1, 2016; and
|
- warrants to purchase an aggregate 3,550,000 shares of our common stock are exercisable at $0.20 per share and expire on September 1, 2016; and
|
The exercise prices of the warrants are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, including the issuance of our common stock at a price below the exercise price of the warrants or a split-up or combination of our common stock and a reorganization or merger to which we are a party.
Limitation of Liability
As permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, our restated certificate of incorporation provides that our directors shall not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability:
- for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders;
|
- for acts of omissions not in good faith or which involve interntional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
|
- under section 174 of the Delaware law, relating to unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemption of stock; and
|
- for any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit.
|
As a result of this provision, we and our stockholders may be unable to obtain monetary damages from a director for breach of his or her duty of care.
Our restated certificate of incorporation provides for the indemnification of our directors and officers, and, to the extent authorized by our board in its sole and absolute discretion, employees and agents, to the full extent authorized by, and subject to the conditions set forth in the Delaware law.
Delaware Anti-Takeover Law
We are subject to the provisions of section 203 of the Delaware law. Section 203 prohibits publicly held Delaware corporations from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. A “business combination” includes mergers, asset sales and other transactions resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Subject to certain exceptions, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years did own, 15% or more of the corporation’s voting stock. These provisions could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of us or reducing the price that certain investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock.

The transfer agent for our common stock is American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 6201 15th Avenue, Brooklyn, New York 10038.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers
|
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings in which such person is made a party by reason of such person being or having been a director, officer, employee of or agent to the Registrant. The statute provides that it is not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any by-law, agreement, or vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
The Registrant’s Bylaws provide that any person made a party to an action by or in the right of the Registrant to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he, his testator or intestate, is or was a director or officer of the Registrant shall be indemnified by the Registrant against the reasonable expenses, including attorneys fees, actually and necessarily incurred by him in connection with the defense of such action or in connection with an appeal therein, to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law or any successor thereto.
The Registrant’s Bylaws provide that any person made or threatened to be made a party to an action or proceeding other than one by or in the right of the Registrant to procure a judgment in its favor, whether civil or criminal, including an action by or in the right of any other corporation of any type or kind, domestic or foreign, which any director or officer of the Registrant served in any capacity at the request of the Registrant, by reason of the fact that he, his testator or intestate, was a director or officer of the Registrant, or served such other corporation in any capacity, shall be indemnified by the Registrant against judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys fees actually and necessarily incurred as a result of such action or proceeding, or any appeal therein, if such director or officer acted in good faith for a purpose which he reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Registrant and, in criminal actions or proceedings, in which he had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for payments of unlawful dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The Registrant’s certificate of incorporation provides for such limitation of liability.

On September 1, 2011, the Registrant issued 35,500,000 shares of its common stock at $0.20 per share to 33 accredited investors for an aggregate purchase price of $7.1 million. The Registrant also issued to the investors for no additional consideration warrants to purchase an aggregate of 17,750,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.26 per share. The Registrant issued to the placement agent of this transaction a warrant to purchase 3,550,000 shares of common stock exercisable at an exercise price of $0.20 per share and a warrant to purchase 1,775,000 shares of common stock exercisable at an exercise price of $0.26 per share. Each of the warrants is exercisable between September 1, 2011 and September 1, 2016. The issuance of such common stock and warrants was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 because such securities were offered and sold in transactions not involving a public offering, exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to Section 4(2) and in compliance with Rule 506 thereunder.
During the three year period ended November 18, 2011, the Registrant issued options to purchase 12,503,666 shares of its common stock, at exercise prices ranging from $0.05 to $0.38 per share, to various employees and directors pursuant to its various employee benefit plans. The granting of such stock options and awarding of such restricted stock to the employees and directors was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 because the stock options and restricted stock either did not involve an offer or sale for purposes of Section 2(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, in reliance on the fact that the stock options and restricted stock were granted for no consideration, or were offered and sold in transactions not involving a public offering, exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to Section 4(2) and in compliance with Rule 506 thereunder.

|
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
|
(a)
|
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
|
|
(b)
|
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;
|
|
(c)
|
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
|
(2) That for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) That each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede of modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Registrant as described in Item 14 of this Part II to the registration statement, or otherwise, Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Santa Cruz, State of California, on the 23rd day of November 2011 .
