On March 6, 2013, the registrant closed a private placement offering whereby it sold an aggregate of 2,900,000 shares of our common stock for gross proceeds of $1,450,000. The offering was conducted in two tranches: the first closed January 21, 2013 for $1,000,000 gross proceeds for the sale of 2,000,000 shares of common stock, and the second closed on March 6, 2013 for $450,000 gross proceeds and the sale of 900,000 shares of common stock.
 
In connection with the offering, we paid two placement agents an aggregate of $52,500 and issued warrants to purchase 105,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share with a two-year term.

The securities above were offered and sold pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company issued the securities to non-U.S. persons only in offshore transactions.
