Our Business

Tianyin Pharmaceutical Co., Inc, formerly called Viscorp, Inc., was originally formed as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Delaware on August 20, 2002.  Through our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary Chengdu Tianyin Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“Chengdu Tianyin”), we are engaged primarily in the development, manufacturing, marketing and sale of modernized traditional Chinese medicines and other pharmaceuticals in China.  We currently manufacture and market a comprehensive portfolio of 33 modernized TCMs and 5 western medicines, of which 22 are listed in the highly selective National Medicine Catalog of the National Medical Insurance program.  We also have a pipeline of approximately 47 products which are pending regulatory approvals with the China State Food and Drug Administration.

Our common stocks begin trading on the NYSE AMEX (formerly known as the American Stock Exchange) on October 1, 2008 under the ticker symbol TPI.

Acquisition of our Operating Business

On January 16, 2008, we entered into and consummated the transactions (the “Share Exchange”) contemplated under a Securities Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) by and among us, Raygere Limited (“Raygere”), a company organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) and Time Poly Management Limited, Happyvale Limited and Fartop Management Limited, each a BVI company, and Cmark Holding Co., Ltd., an exempted company organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands.  At the time of the Share Exchange, Time Poly, Happyvale, Fartop and Cmark owed collectively 100% of the capital stock of Raygere.  Under the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, the Raygere stockholders transferred to Tianyin all the shares of Raygere and Raygere became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tianyin.  As part of the Share Exchange, the shareholders of Raygere were issued 12,790,800 shares of Tianyin common stock, which represented 87.68% of the 14,587,200 issued and outstanding shares of Tianyin Common Stock immediately following the Share Exchange.

Raygere was incorporated in the BVI on January 26, 2007 and formed a Hong Kong subsidiary, Grandway Group Holdings Ltd. in May 2007.  On October 30, 2007, Grandway acquired 100% of the equity interests of Chengdu Tianyin Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., our indirect wholly owned subsidiary located in Chengdu, Sichuan Province of the People’s Republic of China that operates our current business, pursuant to a sales and purchase agreement with three of the existing shareholders ("Original Shareholders") of Chengdu Tianyin, pursuant to which Grandway purchased 100% of the equity interest in Chengdu Tianyin. The total purchase consideration was RMB3,000,000 (approximately U.S.$414,771.39) which was determined based upon the net asset value of Chengdu Tianyin as of October 30, 2007.  This transfer was approved by the Bureau of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation of Chengdu Economic Technology Development Administration Committee on October 30, 2007, and the registration with the Chengdu Administration of Industry and Commerce was completed on November 5, 2007.  As a result of this transfer, Grandway acquired 100% of the equity of Chengdu Tianyin.
 
 
 
 
10

 

 
As a result of Tianyin’s acquisition of Raygere, Chengdu Tianyin became our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary.  Substantially, all of our operations are conducted in China through Chengdu Tianyin.  The transaction was regarded as a reverse merger whereby Raygere was considered to be the accounting acquirer of Tianyin after the exchange.  Although the Company is the legal parent company, Raygere is the continuing entity for financial reporting purposes.  In addition, Tianyin ceased being a shell corporation as that term is defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act and Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act.
 
In accordance with the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement Charles Driscoll resigned as Tianyin’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and President, and also tendered his resignation as our sole director, which became effective on February 15, 2008.  Dr. Guoqing Jiang was appointed to serve as the Chairman of our board and our Chief Executive Officer, effective as of the close of the Share Exchange, and nominated Mr. Stewart Lor to serve as one of our directors with such appointment to be effective on February 15, 2008.  Effective as of February 15, 2008, our entire board of directors will consist of Dr. Jiang and Stewart Lor.  Effective as of February 29, 2008, our board was expanded by three persons to include Professor Zunjian Zhang, Ph.D., Professor Jianping Hou, Ph.D. and Mr. James T. McCubbin.
 

Recent Developments
 
On January 14, 2008, a majority of our shareholders approved, via written consent, the following actions, as set forth in our Information Statement on Schedule 14C, which was filed on February 11, 2008:
 
1.           To change our corporate name to TIANYIN PHARMACEUTICAL CO., INC.
2.           To authorize 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.001.
 
We filed a certificate of amendment to our articles of incorporation with Delaware’s Secretary of State to effect these actions, which became effective on March 11, 2008, and as of such date, our corporate name changed to Tianyin Pharmaceutical Co., Inc. and our authorized capital increased by 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock.  Pursuant to the financings we closed in January 2008 and the authority vested in our Board of Directors, we also filed a certificate of designation with Delaware’s Secretary of State to designate 10,000,000 of the 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock as Series A preferred stock. Our current authorized capital now consists of 50,000,000 shares of common stock, 15,000,000 shares of preferred stock, whose terms shall be determined by the board of directors at the time of issuance, and 10,000,000 shares of Series A preferred stock.
 
In connection with our name change, we received a new trading symbol and cusip number. Effective March 11, 2008, we were trading on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol “TYNP”; our new cusip number is 88630M104.

In September 2008, we applied to trade on the American Stock Exchange.  On September 24, 2008 we received notice that our common shares were approved for listing on the American Stock Exchange (the "AMEX"); accordingly, such shares began trading on the AMEX on October 3, 2008 under the ticker symbol “TPI.”  Since our common shares have been trading on the AMEX, we have enjoyed all of the same privileges and have been subject to all of the same regulations every other company whose shares are listed on the AMEX.


The Financing

On January 16, 2008 and January 25, 2008, we completed private financings totaling $15,225,000 million, with 27 accredited investors (the “January 2008 Financing”).  The net proceeds from the January 2008 Financing were approximately $13,697,000.  Consummation of the financing was a condition to the completion of the Share Exchange transaction with Raygere Limited and the Raygere Stockholders under the Share Exchange.  The securities offered in the financing were sold pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and among our company, Raygere, the Raygere stockholders, Grandway and the investors named in the Purchase Agreement (collectively, the “Investors”).  In accordance with the Purchase Agreement, we issued a total of 152.25 Units of securities consisting of:

•           an aggregate of $15,225,000 million principal amount of our 10% convertible exchangeable notes due on or before June 30, 2009 (the “Notes”),

•            five (5) year warrants to purchase 4,757,814 shares of our Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share at an initial exercise price of $2.50 per share (the “Class A Warrants”), and

•            seven (7) year warrants to purchase 4,757,814 shares of our Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $3.00 per share (the “Class B Warrants” and together with the Class A Warrants, the “Warrants”).  The exercise prices of the Warrants are subject to weighted average and other anti-dilution adjustments.

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the $15,225,000 of Notes automatically converted into an aggregate of 9,515,625 shares of our Series A convertible preferred stock, par value 0.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) on March 11, 2008, the effective date of the authorization and designation of such class.  As issued, the Series A Preferred Stock:

•           pays an annual 10% dividend, payable at our option either in cash or (if such shares have been registered for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) in additional shares of Tianyin common stock valued at $1.60 per share;

•           has a stated or liquidation value of $1.60 per share, or $15,225,000 as to all 9,515,625 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, and
 
 
 
 
12

 

 
•           each outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at any time at the option of the holder into one (1) full share of Tianyin common stock.

In connection with the January 2008 financing, we granted warrants to purchase 1,522,500 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of US$1.60, $2.50 and $3.00 per share to TriPoint Global Equities, LLC, the placement agent in the Financing.  These warrants have the same terms as the Warrants issued to Investors and included in the Units.

In connection with the January 2008 financing, we also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Investors (the “Investor RRA”) under which we agreed to register for resale the 21,308,753 shares of common stock being offered for resale by the selling stockholders.

 As a result of the Share Exchange and the January 2008 Financing described above, on a fully-diluted basis (giving effect to the conversion of all outstanding convertible notes and preferred stock and the exercise of all outstanding warrants and options) we had 35,140,953 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.  Of that amount, the Raygere stockholders owned 36.40% of the outstanding shares, existing stockholders of our company prior to the Share Exchange owned 5.11% of the outstanding shares, and the 58.49% balance of our fully-diluted Common Stock was held by investors and placement agents in the January 2008 Financing.

See the information under the heading “Risk Factors” beginning on page 18 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, which information is incorporated by reference into this prospectus, and other information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus for a discussion of factors you should carefully consider before deciding to invest in shares of our common stock.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We have registered these shares because of registration rights granted to the investors in our recent private equity financing and the other selling shareholders. We will not receive any proceeds upon the conversion of the preferred shares into shares of our common stock, however, we received net proceeds of approximately $13,697,000 from the initial sale of the Notes and we could receive up to approximately $21,909,662, net of fees and expenses, from the exercise of the warrants when and if exercised.  We intend to use any proceeds from the exercise of the Warrant for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

 
SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

The following table sets forth certain information concerning the resale of the shares of common stock by the Selling Shareholders.  Unless otherwise described below, to our knowledge, no selling shareholder nor any of their affiliates has held any position or office with, been employed by or otherwise has had any material relationship with us or our affiliates during the three years prior to the date of this prospectus.  Unless otherwise described below, the Selling Shareholders have confirmed to us that they are not broker-dealers or affiliates of a broker-dealer within the meaning of Rule 405 of the Securities Act, as amended.

We do not know how long the selling stockholders will hold the shares before selling them or how many shares they will sell, and we currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with any of the selling stockholders regarding the sale of any of the resale shares.  The shares offered by this prospectus may be offered from time to time by the selling stockholders listed below.  Accordingly, no estimate can be given as to the amount or percentage of our common stock that will be held by the Selling Shareholders upon termination of sales pursuant to this prospectus.  In addition, the Selling Shareholder identified below may have sold, transferred or disposed of all or a portion of their shares since the date on which they provided the information regarding their holdings in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The amount of shares owned and offered hereby by the Selling Shareholders are calculated assuming a conversion ratio of one share of common stock for each share of preferred stock, which conversion price is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances.  See “Description of Securities.”  Individual beneficial ownership of the Selling Shareholders also includes shares of common stock that a person has the right to acquire within 60 days from October 19 , 2009.  See “Description of Securities –Warrants.”

As of October 19 , 2009, there were 23,520,057 shares of our common stock outstanding, assuming that all of the shares of common stock underlying the preferred shares and all of the Warrants have been converted and exercised, respectively for the purposes of computing the percentage of outstanding securities owned by the Selling Shareholders. Unless otherwise indicated, the Selling Shareholders have the sole power to direct the voting and investment over the shares owned by them. We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of the common stock by the Selling Shareholders.  We estimate that our costs and expenses of registering the shares listed herein for resale will be approximately $50,137.93.

Unless otherwise indicated, all of the Selling Shareholders received their shares pursuant to the January 2008 Financings, which are described above in Recent Developments, The Financing.

1)
Unless otherwise noted, the Selling Stockholder became one of our shareholders pursuant to the Financing we completed on January 25, 2008.  Accordingly, prior to the Offering, the Selling Stockholder only owned shares of common stock underlying the Notes and Warrants received in the Financing (the “Securities”); however, based upon the terms of the both the preferred stock underlying the Notes and the Warrants, holders may not convert the preferred stock and/or exercise the warrants, if on any date, such holder would be deemed the beneficial owner of more than 4.99% or 9.9%, depending upon their agreement, of the then outstanding shares of our common stock; however, a holder may elect to waive the cap upon 61 days notice to us, except that during the 61 day period prior to the expiration date of their warrants, they can waive the cap at any time, but a waiver during such period will not be effective until the expiration date of the warrant. Therefore, unless otherwise noted, this number represents the number of Securities the Selling Stockholder received in the Financing that he/she can own based upon the ownership cap, assuming the ownership cap is not waived.  Additionally, the shares of preferred stock are subject to certain anti-dilution provisions, which would be triggered if we were to sell securities at a price below the price at which we sold the Notes.  See “Prospectus Summary – Recent Developments - Financing” and “Description of Securities.”

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
We are registering the shares of common stock on behalf of the Selling Shareholders. The selling security holders and any of their pledgees, donees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock being offered under this prospectus on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which shares of our common stock are traded or in private transactions.  These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices.  The selling security holders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of shares:
 

 
·
transactions on NYSE AMEX or any other national securities exchange or U.S. inter-dealer system of a registered national securities association on which the common stock may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;
 
 
·
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 resales by the broker-dealer for its account;
 
 
·
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
 
 
·
privately negotiated transactions;
 
 
·
to cover short sales made after the date that the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part is declared effective by the Commission;
 
 
·
broker-dealers may agree with the selling security holders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
 
 
·
a combination of any of these methods of sale; and
 
 
·
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
 
The shares may also be sold under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended if available, rather than under this prospectus.  The selling security holders have the sole and absolute discretion not to accept any purchase offer or make any sale of shares if they deem the purchase price to be unsatisfactory at any particular time.
 
The selling security holders may pledge their shares to their brokers under the margin provisions of customer agreements.  If a selling security holder defaults on a margin loan, the broker may, from time to time, offer and sell the pledged shares.
 
 
 
 
21

 
 
Broker-dealers engaged by the selling security holders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling security holders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, which commissions as to a particular broker or dealer may be in excess of customary commissions to the extent permitted by applicable law.
 
If sales of shares offered under this prospectus are made to broker-dealers as principals, we would be required to file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.  In the post-effective amendment, we would be required to disclose the names of any participating broker-dealers and the compensation arrangements relating to such sales.
 
The selling security holders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares offered under this prospectus may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with these sales.  Commissions received by these broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.  Any broker-dealers or agents that are deemed to be underwriters may not sell shares offered under this prospectus unless and until we set forth the names of the underwriters and the material details of their underwriting arrangements in a supplement to this prospectus or, if required, in a replacement prospectus included in a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
 
The selling security holders and any other persons participating in the sale or distribution of the shares offered under this prospectus will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations under that act, including Regulation M.  These provisions may restrict activities of, and limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares by, the selling security holders or any other person.  Furthermore, under Regulation M, persons engaged in a distribution of securities are prohibited from simultaneously engaging in market making and other activities with respect to those securities for a specified period of time prior to the commencement of such distributions, subject to specified exceptions or exemptions.  All of these limitations may affect the marketability of the shares.
 
If any of the shares of common stock offered for sale pursuant to this prospectus are transferred other than pursuant to a sale under this prospectus, then subsequent holders could not use this prospectus until a post-effective amendment or prospectus supplement is filed, naming such holders.  We offer no assurance as to whether any of the selling security holders will sell all or any portion of the shares offered under this prospectus.
 
We have agreed to pay all fees and expenses we incur incident to the registration of the shares being offered under this prospectus.  However, each selling security holder and purchaser is responsible for paying any discounts, commissions and similar selling expenses they incur.

We and the selling security holders have agreed to indemnify one another against certain losses, damages and liabilities arising in connection with this prospectus, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

DESCRIPTION OF OUR CAPITAL STOCK

Our authorized capital consists of 50,000,000 shares of common stock, $.001 par value per share, 15,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.001 par value per share, and 10,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, $.001 par value per share.  As of October 19 , 2009, there were 23,520,057 outstanding shares of our common stock and 2,655,250 outstanding shares of our preferred stock.

Common Stock

We are authorized to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value US$.001 per share, of which 23,520,057 are currently issued and outstanding.

 
Each outstanding share of Common Stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote per share on matters submitted to a vote of shareholders.  Stockholders do not have preemptive rights to purchase shares in any future issuance of our Common Stock.

 
The holders of shares of our Common Stock are entitled to dividends out of funds legally available when and as declared by our board of directors. Our board of directors has never declared a dividend. Should we decide in the future to pay dividends, it will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will be dependent upon then existing conditions, including the company’s financial condition and the results of operations, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, business prospects, and other factors that the Board of Directors considers relevant.  Each share shall be entitled to the same dividend.  In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of our Common Stock are entitled to receive, ratably, the net assets available to stockholders after payment of all creditors.

 
All of the issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. To the extent that additional shares of our Common Stock are issued, the relative interests of existing stockholders will be diluted.

 
 
 
 
23

 
 
Preferred Stock

 
Effective March 11, 2008, we amended our articles of incorporation to increase our authorized capital stock to include up to 25,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock, to which our board of directors will have the power to issue in one or more series without stockholder approval. Our board of directors, and approximately 84% of our shareholders, approved the amendment to our articles of incorporation via written consent.  Our board of directors has the discretion to determine the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences, of each series of preferred stock. The purpose of authorizing our board of directors to issue preferred stock and determine its rights and preferences is to eliminate delays associated with a stockholder vote on specific issuances. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing desirable flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or could discourage a third party from acquiring, a majority of our outstanding voting stock.

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

Effective March 11, 2008, 10,000,000 of the 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock was designated as Series A Preferred Stock. As of October 19 , 2009, there were 2,655,250 outstanding shares of our preferred stock. In accordance with the Certificate of Designation of the Relative Rights and Preferences of such Series A Preferred Stock, each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into a number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (i) the original Series A Preferred Stock issue price set forth therein divided by (ii) the conversion price.  The initial issue price and the conversion price are both $1.60.  Unless previously converted into Common Stock, all shares of Series A Preferred Stock that are outstanding on a date which shall be three (3) years from the Issuance Date of the Series A Preferred Stock shall, without any further action on the part of the Holder, be automatically converted into shares of our Common Stock.

The conversion price of the Series A Preferred Stock may be adjusted in the event of (i) combination, stock split, or reclassification of the Common Stock; (ii) capital reorganization; (iii) distribution of dividends; or (iv) the issuance or sale of additional shares of Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents, other than as a result of the conversion of the preferred stock or exercise of the warrants issued pursuant to the Financings described elsewhere in this Statement.

The Series A Preferred Stock has no preemptive rights.

Series A Preferred Stockholders shall be entitled to an annual dividend equal to 10% of the Stated Value per share of Series A Preferred Stock, which is $1.60 per share.  The Dividend shall be paid quarterly for as long as the Series A Preferred Stock remains outstanding. The Company has the right, at its sole and exclusive option, to pay all or any portion of each and every quarterly dividend that is payable on each dividend payment date, either (i) in cash, or (ii) if such shares have been registered for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in shares of Common Stock.  Upon the payment of any dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the holder shall be an amount equal to ninety percent (90%) of the quotient of (i) the Dividend Payment divided by (ii) $1.60.  Any shares of Common Stock issued as a Dividend Payment shall have piggyback registration rights if not otherwise registered pursuant to an effective registration statement.

The Series A Preferred Stock has no voting rights, except for class voting rights and on an as converted basis. However, so long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company shall not, without the affirmative approval of at least a majority of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock outstanding, (i) amend, alter or repeal the provisions of the Series A Preferred Stock, so as to adversely affect any right, preference, privilege or voting power of the Series A Preferred Stock; or (ii) amend the Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws of the Company so as to affect materially and adversely any right, preference, privilege or voting power of the Series A Preferred Stock.  Additionally, the Series A Preferred Stock has the right to vote with the holders of Common Stock on an “as converted basis” in connection with any proposal submitted to stockholders for a merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets.

In the event of a merger, sale (of substantially all assets or stock), any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, either (i) after any distribution or payment on senior securities, (ii) simultaneous with any distribution or payment on pari passu securities, and (iii) before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of our Common Stock or any other junior securities, each Holder of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid, out of our assets available for distribution to its stockholders, an amount (the "Liquidation Preference") equal to (i) aggregate number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding multiplied by its Stated Value per share; and (ii) any accrued but unpaid Dividends.  If the assets of the Corporation are not sufficient to generate cash sufficient to pay in full the Liquidation Preference, then the Holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall share ratably (together with holders of any pari passu securities) in any distribution of cash generated by such assets in accordance with the respective amounts that would have been payable in such distribution as if the amounts to which the Holders of outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled were paid in full.

Warrants

Class A Warrants

Each Class A Warrant allows its holder to purchase one share of Common Stock for $2.50, subject to adjustment, until five years after the date of issuance. As of October 19 , 2009, there were 4,229,063 Class A Warrants outstanding.

If the registration statement providing for the resale of shares of Common Stock underlying the Class A Warrants is not effective by June 30, 2008, as required by the registration rights agreement between us and investors, holders are permitted to exercise the warrants through a cashless exercise for that number of shares of Common Stock determined by multiplying the number of Class A Warrant Shares to which such Holder would otherwise be entitled by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the difference between (A) the average Market Price per share of our Common Stock for the 5 Trading Days immediately prior to the date the completed Exercise Agreement shall have been delivered to the Company (the “Cashless Exercise Market Price”) and (B) the Exercise Price, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the Cashless Exercise Market Price.

The exercise price of the Class A Warrants and the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of the Class A Warrants are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. Such events include recapitalizations or consolidations, combinations of our Common Stock, dividends payable in our Common Stock, the issuance of rights to purchase additional shares of our Common Stock or to receive other securities convertible into additional shares of Common Stock – other than as a result of the conversion of the preferred stock or exercise of the warrants issued pursuant to the Financings described elsewhere in this Statement, and recapitalization, consolidation, merger or sale of the Company or substantially all of its assets in a transaction whereby a transfer of control over the ability to elect the board of directors shall occur.

All of the Class A Warrants have an exercise cap, pursuant to which we shall not effect the exercise of any Class A Warrants, and no person who is a holder of the Class A Warrants shall have the right to exercise his/her Class A Warrants, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such person would beneficially own in excess of 9.9% or 4.99%, depending upon the holder’s respective warrant agreement, of the then outstanding shares of our Common Stock. However, the holder is entitled to waive this cap upon 61 days notice to us.

No fractional shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Class A Warrants will be issued in connection with any exercise, but we shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of any fractional share which would otherwise be issuable in an amount equal to the same fraction of the average Market Price per share of the Common Stock for the five (5) Trading Days immediately prior to the date of such exercise.

The Class A Warrants expire at the close of business on the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance.

Class B Warrants

 
 Each Class B Warrant allows its holder to purchase one share of Common Stock for $3.00, subject to adjustment, until seven years after the date of issuance.  As of October 19 , 2009, there were 4,414,064 Class B Warrants outstanding.

 If the registration statement providing for the resale of shares of Common Stock underlying the Class B Warrants is not effective by June 30, 2008, as required by the registration rights agreement between us and investors, holders are permitted to exercise the warrants through a cashless exercise for that number of shares of Common Stock determined by multiplying the number of Class B Warrant Shares to which such Holder would otherwise be entitled by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the difference between (A) the average Market Price per share of our Common Stock for the 5 Trading Days immediately prior to the date the completed Exercise Agreement shall have been delivered to the Company (the “Cashless Exercise Market Price”) and (B) the Exercise Price, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the Cashless Exercise Market Price.

That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement 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.
