ITEM 3.02           UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES.

 

On April 29, 2016, three holders, two of whom are directors of the Company and another of whom is a greater than 5% shareholder, exercised 377,360 warrants which were issued in August 2009.  In addition, several other holders exercised 128,304 warrants on April 27, 2016.  Upon exercise and receipt of the aggregate exercise price of $1,340,010, the Company will issue 505,664 shares of common stock to the investors.  The Company will use the proceeds for working capital purposes.

 

No underwriters were involved in the foregoing sale of securities.  The common stock to be issued upon exercise of the warrants was issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, based on the private sale of securities.  The sale of the common stock issued upon exercise of these warrants was registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-175054), filed with the SEC on June 30, 2011.
