Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

As previously reported, in 2006 we closed a private placement of secured convertible notes and warrants to accredited investors. The notes had an aggregate original principal amount of $8,000,000. The conversion price of the notes is $0.02 per share. The noteholders also received a total of 1,200,000,000 warrants to purchase our common stock at $0.02 per share. The warrants are divided into two 600,000,000 share tranches.

On July 21, 2006 six noteholders exercised the first tranche of their warrants at $0.02 per share by paying the total exercise price of $227,500 for 11,375,000 shares of our common stock.

On July 19, 2006, two noteholders converted $85,000 of outstanding principal balance plus accrued interest of $2704.45 into 4,385,223 shares of common stock pursuant to the terms of their notes at $0.02 per share.

The 11,375,000 warrant exercise shares and the 4,385,223 note conversion shares were issued to the accredited investor noteholders pursuant to the Securities Act Section 4(2) and Section 3(a)(9) registration exemptions, respectively.

As previously reported, our placement agent in the 2006 Private Placement, Spencer Trask Ventures, Inc. ("STVI") is entitled to receive $0.01 and an additional seven-year placement agent warrant for each five noteholder warrants which are exercised. The exercise price of the additional placement agent warrants will be at $0.02 per share. STVI, which is an affiliate of Kevin Kimberlin, who is a director and major stockholder of us, has allocated a portion of the additional placement agent warrants to various brokers and employees and its parent company. As a result of the exercise of 11,375,000 noteholder warrants as described above, STVI became entitled to $22,750 in cash and 2,275,000 additional placement agent warrants. These additional placement agent warrants will be issued to STVI and its assignees pursuant to the Securities Act Section 4(2) registration exemption.

After the July 21, 2006 warrant exercises, the aggregate gross proceeds from the first tranche of warrant exercises is $6,899,500. The remaining 255,025,000 warrants of this first tranche will expire August 7, 2006 unless they are exercised by that date. The second tranche of warrants will become exercisable on October 16, 2006 and will expire on November 30, 2006 unless they are exercised by that date.

After the July 19, 2006 note conversion, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the notes is $6,385,000.
