Item 3.02.
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
On May 9, 2012, a warrant to purchase 800,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $.625 per share was exercised with total proceeds to the registrant of $500,000.
No underwriters or agents were involved in the foregoing issuance and no commission or other remuneration was paid or given directly or indirectly to any person by the registrant. The registrant relied on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, since the transactions did not involve any public offering.
As of the date hereof, the registrant has 14,680,250 shares of common stock outstanding.

On April 26, 2012, the registrant disclosed that it has a cash surplus in excess of $1.4 million, and it intends to distribute $1.4 million in cash to its shareholders in the form of a special cash dividend; and that in the event that an outstanding warrant to purchase up to 800,000 shares of common stock at a $0.625 strike price is exercised before 5/21/12, the special cash dividend will be increased to up to approximately $1.9 million. Additionally, the registrant disclosed that it intends to commence the payment of a regular quarterly dividend to its common stockholders, initially in the amount of $200,000 per quarter, which will be included with the special cash dividend payment.
On May 9, 2012, the registrant determined that it would pay (i) a one-time special cash dividend to holders of the registrant’s common stock equal to $0.13 per share; and (ii) a quarterly cash dividend to holders of Company common stock equal to $0.013 per share.
