Item 8.01.  Other Events.

In July 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with certain investors whereby the investors agreed to provide financing, or the Financing, to the Company through the purchase of convertible secured notes, or the Notes, in the aggregate amount of $1.55 million.  On August 31, 2009, an additional $200,000 of financing was received by the Company to bring the aggregate total funding received to $1.75 million. On June 13, 2011, the holders of at least 51% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes elected to convert all of the Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock in accordance with the terms of the Notes.  Accordingly, the Notes were converted into 1,629,539 shares of the Company’s common stock on that date.  The Notes bore interest at a rate of 12% per annum and had they not been converted, the Notes would have matured on the second anniversary of their issuance.  The conversion price of the Notes of $1.3186 was determined on August 31, 2009 and represents 80% of the volume weighted average price on the NASDAQ stock market for the ten trading days prior to August 31, 2009.  The Notes were secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company.

In accordance with the terms of the Financing, on the date the Notes were converted the Company issued warrants with a life of five years to purchase 109,389 shares of common stock, or the Warrants, upon the conversion of the Notes.  The exercise price of the Warrants is $1.60 per common share which is equal to the closing bid price per share of the Company’s common stock on the NASDAQ stock market on July 15, 2009.

The foregoing description of the Financing, Notes and Warrants does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Form of 12% Convertible Secured Note, the Form of Warrant and the Security Agreement, each dated July 15, 2009, which were filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4, respectively, to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 16, 2009 and are incorporated herein by reference.
