ITEM 3.02

UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

        On January 19, 2005, we completed the private placement of units, each unit consisting of a 12% convertible debenture and a warrant exercisable to purchase one share of our common stock for each dollar in principal amount of debenture at an exercise price of $0.15. In total, up to 1,500,000 shares of our common stock could be issued if all of the debentures were converted and all of the warrants exercised. Gross proceeds of the offering were $500,000, which proceeds were used to retire a secured note and an option held by Astraea Investment Management, L.P. The units were sold to a total of six investors, each of whom qualify as an "accredited investor" within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act. The securities were taken for investment purposes and were subject to restrictions on transfer. The securities were issued in reliance on Rule 506, Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
