Item 3.02.  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
 
From May 19 through June 20, 2011, the Registrant sold to five accredited investors, in private placement transactions, an aggregate of 175,528 units at $0.55 per unit, resulting in gross proceeds to the Registrant of $96,540.40.  Each unit represents a share of the Registrant’s common stock and a warrant to purchase 0.30 shares of the Registrant’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.60 per share.  The warrants are fully vested and exercisable for three years from the date of issuance.
 
On July 11, 2011 the Registrant issued to W-Net Fund I, L.P., pursuant to the conversion of $295,453.81 of principal and interest underlying an Amended and Restated 2.5% Secured Convertible Promissory Note, 1,018,806 shares of the Registrant’s common stock.
 
On July 18, 2011 the Registrant issued to Europa International, Inc., pursuant to the conversion of $74,649.82 of principal and interest underlying an Amended and Restated 2.5% Secured Convertible Promissory Note, 257,413 shares of the Registrant’s common stock.
 
On July 21, 2011 the Registrant issued to MKM Opportunity Master Fund, Ltd., pursuant to the conversion of $89,573.75 of principal and interest underlying an Amended and Restated 2.5% Secured Convertible Promissory Note, 308,875 shares of the Registrant’s common stock.
 
In making the stock issuances described above without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the Registrant relied upon one or more of the exemptions from registration contained in and/or promulgated under Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act as certain of the shares of the Registrant’s common stock were issued solely in exchange for the Registrant’s existing securities, and Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as each of the stock recipients in the private placement transactions was an accredited investor and no general solicitation or advertising was used in connection with such stock issuances.
