Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

As previously reported, in March 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 (giving effect to our December 2006 1-for-100 reverse stock split) $2.00 per share. The noteholders also received warrants entitling them to (giving effect to our December 2006 1-for-100 reverse stock split) purchase 12,000,000 shares of our common stock at $2.00 per share. The warrants were divided into two tranches, each consisting of warrants to (giving effect to our December 2006 1-for-100 reverse stock split) purchase 6,000,000 shares. The unexercised warrants from the first tranche expired on August 7, 2006.

In March 2007, we entered into a Warrant Exercise and Price Protection arrangement with certain warrant holders of the 2006 Private Placement. This arrangement included a special warrant exercise inducement whereby (i) the warrant holder would receive 2.5 shares of our common stock for each $2.00 of second tranche warrant exercise price paid to us (this equates to an effective price of $0.80 per share) and (ii) the warrant holder would receive short-term ratchet-style price protection (through September 30, 2007) on March 2007 warrant exercises.

On March 30, 2007, ten noteholders exercised 201,875 of their second tranche warrants pursuant to this arrangement, paying in the aggregate an exercise price of $403,750 for 504,688 shares of our common stock.

The 5,530,125 unexercised warrants from the second tranche expired on March 30, 2007.

The 504,688 warrant exercise shares were issued to the accredited investor noteholders pursuant to the Securities Act Section 4(2) registration exemption.

As previously reported, our placement agent in the 2006 Private Placement, Spencer Trask Ventures, Inc. ("STVI") is entitled to receive $1.00 (giving effect to our December 2006 1-for-100 reverse stock split) and an additional seven-year placement agent warrant for each five noteholder warrants which are exercised. As a result of the exercise of 201,875 noteholder warrants as described above, STVI became entitled to $40,375 in cash and 40,375 additional placement agent warrants. The exercise price per share of the 40,375 additional placement agent warrants arising from the March 30, 2007 noteholder warrant exercises will be $0.80 instead of $2.00, as a result of an amendment related to the Warrant Exercise and Price Protection arrangement. 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. These additional placement agent warrants will be issued to STVI and its assignees pursuant to the Securities Act Section 4(2) registration exemption.
