PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

The following is a summary that highlights what we believe to be the most important information regarding TPI and the securities being offered herein.  Because it is a summary, however, it may not contain all of the information that is important to you. To understand our business and this offering fully, you should read this entire prospectus and our financial statements and related notes carefully.  Unless the context requires otherwise, “we,” “us,” “our” and similar terms refer to TPI.
 
General Overview of Our Business
 
Tianyin Pharmaceutical Co., Inc (“TPI” or the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries, herein referred to as “we”, “us” and “our”) is a pharmaceutical company. Through our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary Chengdu Tianyin Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“Chengdu Tianyin”), a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”), we are engaged primarily in the development, manufacturing, marketing and sale of patented biopharmaceutical medicines, branded generics, modernized traditional Chinese medicines and active pharmaceutical ingredients (“API”) in China. We currently manufacture a comprehensive portfolio of 58 products, 24 of which are listed in the highly selective National Medical Reimbursement List (“NMRL”) and 7 are listed in the Essential Drug List (“EDL”) of China.

Tianyin Pharmaceutical Co., Inc, previously called Viscorp, Inc., was originally formed as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Delaware on August 20, 2002. In March 2006, Viscorp changed its status from an LLC to a corporation registered in the State of Delaware. Prior to the Share Exchange transaction described below, Viscorp operated as a developer and retailer of software for optometrists.  However, Viscorp did not generate any significant revenue and determined to pursue an acquisition strategy, whereby it sought to acquire a business with a history of operating revenues in markets that provide room for growth. Immediately prior to the Share Exchange under which we acquired Chengdu Tianyin, Viscorp sold all of its assets (consisting solely of the software it had developed) to Charles Driscoll for $100.00. The common stock of the Company currently trades on the NYSE Amex under the symbol “TPI.”

Chengdu Tianyin
 
Chengdu Tianyin Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd (“Chengdu Tianyin” or “CTY”), located in Chengdu, Sichuan Province of China, was established in 1994 and acquired by the current management of the Company in 2003. Chengdu Tianyin delivered total revenue of $69.6 million with net income of $6.4 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, a decrease of 26.9% from revenue of $95.2 million and 59.0% from net income of $15.6 million respectively for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.
 
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 (“Time Poly”), Happyvale Limited (“Happyvale”) and Fartop Management Limited (“Fartop”), each a BVI company, and Cmark Holding Co., Ltd. (“Cmark”), 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 the Company all the shares of Raygere and Raygere became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.  As part of the Share Exchange, the shareholders of Raygere were issued 12,790,800 shares of the Company’s common stock, which represented 87.7% of the 14,587,200 issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s 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. (“Grandway”) 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. 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.
 
As a result of the Company’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 the Company after the exchange.  Although the Company is the legal parent company, Raygere is the continuing entity for financial reporting purposes. In addition, the Company 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 the Company’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.  As of February 29, 2008, our board was expanded by three persons to include Professor Zunjian Zhang, Professor Jianping Hou and Mr. Jim McCubbin.

On April 1, 2010, Mr. Lor resigned from his position as one of our directors, and on the same day we appointed Dr. James Jiayuan Tong as our director. On June 4, 2012, Mr. McCubbin resigned from our board as an independent director, and concurrently we appointed Mr. Bo Tan as an independent director. As of the date of this filing, our directors are Dr. Guoqing Jiang, Dr. James J. Tong, Mr. Bo Tan, Prof. Zunjian Zhang and Prof. Jianping Hou.
 
Post-Acquisition Corporate Actions
 
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 as of March 11, 2008; accordingly, 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. Upon the name change, we were trading on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol “TYNP” and our cusip number became 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 NYSE AMEX; accordingly, such shares began trading on the NYSE 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 Financings
 
2008 Financing
 
On January 16, 2008 and January 25, 2008, we completed private financings totaling $15,225,000, with 27 accredited investors (the “2008 Financing”).  The net proceeds from the 2008 Financing were approximately $13,697,000. Consummation of the 2008 Financing was a condition to the completion of the Share Exchange transaction with Raygere and the Raygere Stockholders under the Share Exchange.  The securities offered in the 2008 Financing were sold pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and among the 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: 1) An aggregate of $15,225,000 principal amount of our 10% convertible exchangeable notes due on or before June 30, 2009 (the “Notes”); 2) 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”); 3) 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”).
 
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: 1) 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 the Company’s common stock valued at $1.60 per share; 2) 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; 3) 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 the Company’s common stock.
 
In connection with the 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 2008 Financing, we also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Investors (the “Investor RRA”) under which we have registered for resale the 21,308,753 shares of common stock being offered for resale by the selling stockholders.
 
By March 2011, all preferred shares were converted into TPI's common stock and therefore, we no longer have any shares of preferred stock outstanding.
 
2009 Financing
 
On October 27, 2009, we completed a private equity financing of $4,987,500, with eight accredited investors (the “2009 Financing”). Net proceeds from the offering are approximately $4,490,000. Pursuant to the financing, we issued, for $4,987,500, a total of 1,534,570 units of our securities at $3.25 per unit. Each unit consists of: 1) one share of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"); 2) a Class C Warrant (the "Class C Warrant", together with Class A Warrant and Class B Warrant, are referred sometimes herein below as “Warrants” or “Warrant”), with each Class C Warrant exercisable at $4.50 to purchase one-fifth of a share of Common Stock, such that the total amount of warrants issued to each investor as shall be equal to twenty percent (20%) of the number of units purchased by each purchaser. Each of the warrants has a term of three (3) years.
 
In connection with this financing, we paid cash compensation to the placement agent, Tripoint Global Equities, in the amount of $495,250. In connection with this financing, we also granted warrants to purchase 122,766 shares of common stock at $3.25 and 24,553 shares at $4.50 to the placement agent or its designees. These warrants have the same terms as the warrants issued to investors and are included in the units.

Our Current Corporate Structure

In June 2009, to optimize our business model through stronger distribution channels, Chengdu Tianyin invested $0.7 million to establish a wholly-owned trading subsidiary, Chengdu Tianyin Medicine Trading Co., Ltd (“TMT”) for sales and distribution of medicine produced by Chengdu Tianyin and other pharmaceutical companies. 

On August 21, 2009, Chengdu Tianyin, Sichuan Mingxin Pharmaceutical and an individual investor established Sichuan Jiangchuan Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd (“JCM”), whose major business is to produce macrolide antibiotic active pharmaceutical ingredients (API). Total registered capital of JCM is approximately $3.2 million (equivalent of RMB 20 million), of which Chengdu Tianyin accounts for 87%. JCM is considered as the foundation for a broader strategy to establish a significant presence in the macrolide antibiotics industry in China.

Below is the chart showing the Company’s corporate structure:

The risks and uncertainties we describe are not the only ones we face.  If any of the events described actually occur, or if additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial, materialize, then our business, financial condition, cash flows, and operating results could be materially adversely affected.  As a result, the trading price of our common stock and the value of the securities offered could decline, and you could lose a part or all of your investment.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We have registered the shares included herein because of registration rights granted to the investors of the related private equity financing and the other selling shareholders.  We will not realize any proceeds from the sale of the shares by the Selling Stockholders; however, if all of the warrants are exercised, of which there is no guarantee, we will receive gross proceeds of approximately $26 million. We intend to use the proceeds from the financings and the exercise of the warrants, if any, for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

Prior to the offerings, the Selling Stockholder only owned shares of common stock underlying the Notes and Warrants received in the 2008 Financing and 2009 Financing (the “Securities”); however, based upon the terms of the Warrants, holders may not  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.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
We are registering the shares of common stock on behalf of the Selling Stockholders. 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.
 
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.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED
 
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 23, 2012, there were 29,332,791 outstanding shares of our common stock and 0 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 29,332,791 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. On May 12, 2010, we announced the temporary suspension of common stock dividend.  Should we decide in the future to resume paying 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.
 
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 23, 2012, there was 0 outstanding share of our preferred stock; we initially issued 9,515,625 shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the private financing we completed in January 2008, but as of the date of this filing, all such shares have been converted and we do not currently have any plans to issue additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
 
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 23, 2012, there were 3,898,438 Class A Warrants outstanding.
 
Because the registration statement providing for the resale of shares of Common Stock underlying the Class A Warrants was declared effective by the contractually agreed upon effective date,  the Class A Warrants must be exercised for cash; the cashless exercise right ceased.
 
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 23, 2012, there were 4,257,814 Class B Warrants outstanding.
 
Because the registration statement providing for the resale of shares of Common Stock underlying the Class B Warrants was declared effective by the contractually agreed upon effective date, the Class B Warrants must be exercised for cash; the cashless exercise right ceased.
 
The exercise price of the Class B Warrants and the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of the Class B 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.
 
 
14

 
  
All of the Class B Warrants have an exercise cap, pursuant to which we shall not effect the exercise of any Class B Warrants, and no person who is a holder of the Class B Warrants shall have the right to exercise his/her Class B 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 B 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 B Warrants expire at the close of business on the seventh anniversary of the date of issuance.
 
Class C Warrants
 
Each Class C Warrant allows its holder to purchase that number of shares of Common Stock as shall be equal to twenty percent (20%) of the number of Units purchased by such holder in the 2009 Financing.  The Class C Warrants are exercisable at a price of $4.50 per share of Common Stock, subject to adjustment, until three years after the date of issuance.  As of October 23, 2012, there were 306,913 Class C Warrants outstanding.
  
Commencing in October 2011, if the per share market value of one shares of common stock is greater than the exercise price and if this registration statement is not effective as per the terms of the registration rights agreement regarding such warrants, holders are permitted to exercise the warrants through a cashless exercise for that number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:
 
X = Y - (A)(Y)
              B
 
Where
X =
the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder.
 
 
Y =
the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of all of the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being exercised.
 
 
A =
the Warrant Price.
 
 
B =
the Per Share Market Value of one share of Common Stock.
 
The exercise price of the Class C Warrants and the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of the Class C 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 C Warrants have an exercise cap, pursuant to which we shall not effect the exercise of any Class C Warrants, and no person who is a holder of the Class C Warrants shall have the right to exercise his/her Class C Warrants, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such person would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% 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 C Warrants will be issued in connection with any exercise. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Holder shall round the number of shares to be issued upon exercise up to the nearest whole number of shares.
 
The Class C Warrants expire at the close of business on the third anniversary of the date of issuance.
 
 
15

 
  
Registration Rights
 
In connection with the issuance of the Warrants, we agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register for resale the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants.  We also agreed to register the shares of common stock underlying the placement agent warrants we issued pursuant to those same financings, as well as additional shares of common stock issued to consultants as compensation for services they provided to us.  All required registration statements have been filed.
 
Transfer Agent
 
The transfer agent for our common stock and preferred stock is Empire Stock Transfer, Inc., 1859 Whitney Mesa Dr, Henderson, NV 89014, 702.818.5898, Fax 702.974.1444.
 
Certain Effects of Authorized but Unissued Stock
 
Our Articles and Bylaws permit the board of directors to increase our authorized stock without a shareholder vote.  Authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock may be issued without shareholder approval.  Your percentage of ownership in us will be diluted if and when we authorize and issue these additional shares.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
 
Article V of our Bylaws provides that each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative ("proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he or she or a person for whom he or she is the legal representative is or was one of our directors or officers, employees or agents or is or was serving at our request as a director or officer, employee or agent of another corporation, or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law.  Such right includes the right to be paid by the Company for expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that the payment of such expenses in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it should be determined ultimately that such officer or director is not entitled to be indemnified under our Bylaws.
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the registrant, pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.

UNDERTAKINGS.
 
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
 
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made pursuant to this registration statement, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
 
(i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act;
 
(ii) 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 SEC 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 the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
 
(iii) 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;
 
provided, however, that paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.
 
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.
 
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.
 
That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, each prospectus filed by a Registrant 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 an 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 or 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.
 
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.
  
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to deliver or cause to be delivered with the prospectus, to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest annual report to security holders that is incorporated by reference in the prospectus and furnished pursuant to and meeting the requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and, where interim financial information required to be presented by Article 3 of Regulation S-X are not set forth in the prospectus, to deliver, or cause to be delivered to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest quarterly report that is specifically incorporated by reference in the prospectus to provide such interim financial information.

In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by a Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of a 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, that Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the 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.
