SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

NOTE 6: SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

Equity Line

On September 16, 2010, the Company entered into an Investment Agreement (as amended, the "Investment Agreement") with Dutchess Opportunity Fund, II, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the "Investor"), whereby the Company may sell up to $10 million of the Company's common stock to the Investor over a period of 36 months from the first trading day following the effectiveness of a registration statement registering the resale of shares pursuant to the Investment Agreement (the "Equity Line").

The Company may draw on the Equity Line from time to time, as and when it determines appropriate in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Investment Agreement. The Company is not permitted to draw on the Equity Line unless there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the shares. The Company filed a registration statement with the SEC, and on October 28, 2010, the SEC declared effective the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-169774), which registers up to 5,000,000 shares of common stock that may be resold by the Investor pursuant to the Investment Agreement.  The number of shares registered on Form S-3 are subject to adjustment for the reverse stock split pursuant to Rule 416 of the Securities Act.

Investors should read the Investment Agreement together with the other information concerning the Company that the Company publicly files in reports and statements with the SEC.

As of May 4, 2012, no shares of common stock have been issued pursuant to the Investment Agreement.
