Item 7.01
Regulation FD Disclosure.
 
On December 22, 2011, we entered into agreements with institutional and accredited investors to issue 1,809,653 shares of our common stock at $1.15 per share, with no warrant coverage, yielding gross proceeds of $2,081,101. We retained Rodman & Renshaw, LLC as the exclusive placement agent for this offering, and we paid them $145,677 in placement agent commissions. The shares were offered pursuant to a shelf registration statement (File No. 333-171411), that was declared effective on May 3, 2011 by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The offering closed on December 28, 2011.
 
We anticipate using the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes including several important growth opportunities.
 
This report does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, and these securities cannot be sold in any state or jurisdiction in which this offer, solicitation, or sale would unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any state or jurisdiction. Any offer will be made only by means of a prospectus, including a prospectus supplement, forming a part of the effective registration statement.
 
This report contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that express our intentions, beliefs, expectations, strategies, predictions or any other statements related to our future activities or future events or conditions. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our business based, in part, on assumptions made by our management. These statements are not guarantees of future performances and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to numerous factors, including those risks discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and in other documents that we file from time to time with the SEC. Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report, except as required by law.
