Item 8.01

Other Events.

On August 31, 2012, we completed our offering of up to 1,700,000 shares of common stock at $4.50 per share and sold all of the shares in the offering for gross proceeds of $7,650,000.  These shares were issued without registration under the Securities Act by reason of the exemption from registration afforded by the provisions of Section 4(a)(5) and/or Section 4(a)(2) thereof, and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder, as a transaction by an issuer not involving any public offering.  Each of the 70 investors in this offering was an accredited investor as defined in Regulation D.  Each investor delivered appropriate investment representations with respect to these sales and consented to the imposition of restrictive legends upon the stock certificates representing the shares.  Each investor was afforded the opportunity to ask questions of our management and to receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the transaction.  No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid in connection with this offering.  The shares sold in this offering were not and will not be registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
