October 2009 Private Placement

In October 2009, the Company commenced a private placement to sell common stock and warrants. From October 30, 2009, through December 31, 2009, the Company sold 7,697,865 shares of common stock at a price of $.60 per share and received proceeds of $4,618,720. Under the terms of the offering, for every two shares of common stock purchased, the investor received a 5-year warrant to purchase one share of common stock for $1.50 (a “Warrant”). Through December 31, 2009, the Company issued a total of 3,848,933 warrants. The warrants met all the requirements for equity classification under GAAP and are recorded in stockholders' equity.

In April 2010, the Company offered investors in the October 2009 Private Placement a discount to their existing $1.50 warrant exercise price to $1.00 if they exercised their warrants to purchase common stock for cash by May 1, 2010.  As a result of this offer, the Company received proceeds of approximately $3,200,000, net of placement agent fees, and issued 3,200,000 shares of common stock as of May 1, 2010.  See Note 9 for further information about this exercise.

From January 1, 2010, through January 21, 2010, the Company sold an additional 1,308,332 shares of common stock and issued an additional 654,163 warrants and received proceeds of $785,000.  The Company closed the offering on January 21, 2010.

In connection with the October 2009 Private Placement, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement which provides “Piggy-Back” registration rights to each investor.

October 2010 Private Placement

In October 2010, the Company commenced a private placement to sell common stock and warrants. From October 30, 2010, through December 31, 2010, the Company sold 2,405,000 shares of common stock at a price of $1.00 per share and received proceeds of $2,337,020 net of $67,980 in offering costs. Under the terms of the offering, for each share purchased, the investor received one 5-year warrant to purchase the common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. The terms of the warrant, (the “Callable Warrant”) are that for every two shares of common stock purchased, the holder is issued a 5-year warrant to purchase one share of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. The Callable Warrant does not carry registration rights and is callable by the Company at any time after the issuance if the closing sale price of the Stock exceeds $1.75 for fifteen (15) or more consecutive trading days. Upon written notice, the Company may redeem the Callable Warrant at a price of $0.01 per share.

The contingent warrants have been issued to each investor and will become exercisable provided certain conditions are met. The First Contingent Warrant, (the “First Contingent Warrant”) is issued to each investor to purchase 25% of the number of shares of Stock purchased, at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, provided that the First Contingent Warrant shall only be exercisable if the Company's Gross Revenue as reported in the Company's Audited Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2011, do not equal or exceed $11,500,000 and further provided that such Warrant shall be null and void in the event that prior to issuance of such Audited Financial Statements (the “First Measurement Date”) the closing trading price of the Stock is at least $1.50 per share for ten or more consecutive trading days.

The Second Contingent Warrant, (the “Second Contingent Warrant”) is issued to each investor to purchase 25% of the number of shares of Stock purchased, at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, provided that the Second Contingent Warrant shall only be exercisable if the Company's Gross Revenue as reported in the Company's Audited Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2011, do not equal or exceed $31,150,000 and further provided that such Warrant shall be null and void in the event that prior to issuance of such Audited Financial Statements (the “Second Measurement Date”) the closing trading price of the Stock is at least $1.75 per share for ten or more consecutive trading days.

The contingent warrants have not been included in our earnings per share calculation per the guidance in ASC 260-10-45-13 Earnings per share: Treatment of Contingently Issuable Shares in Weighted-Average Shares Outstanding which states that shares issuable for little or no cash consideration upon the satisfaction of certain conditions (contingently issuable shares) shall be considered outstanding common shares and included in the computation of basic EPS as of the date that all necessary conditions have been satisfied (in essence, when issuance of the shares is no longer contingent).

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company sold an additional 3,778,321 shares of Common Stock and issued an additional 1,889,161 warrants and received net cash proceeds of approximately $3,744,000.  The warrants met all the requirements for equity classification under GAAP and are recorded in stockholders' equity.

In connection with the October 2010 Private Placement, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement that provides “Piggy-Back” registration rights to each investor.
