Accordingly, as of August 8, 2003, no shares of Series A Preferred Stock remained outstanding

Common Stock Warrants

The Company has issued warrants in connection with the issuance of a convertible note, see convertible notes below.

Convertible notes

Effective September 2003, pursuant to securities purchase agreements entered into separately with four accredited institutional investors, we agreed to issue and sell to each of these investors convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $2.25 million, Series A Warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 337,500 shares of our common stock, and Series B Warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 225,000 shares of our common stock. The securities purchase agreements each provided for the sale of one-half of the convertible notes ($1.125 million aggregate principal amount) and the issuance of all of the Series A and B Warrants as of the first closing, September 19, 2003, and obligated each of the investors to purchase, and for us to sell and issue to these investors, the remaining convertible notes ($1.125 million aggregate principal amount) immediately following the registration with the SEC of the common stock issuable under the convertible notes and the warrants (the second closing), which financing was completed effective October 27, 2003. As of August 31, 2006, the aggregate principal amount of $2.25 million had been converted into 1,125,000 shares of common stock by the investors and there was no outstanding principal balance due and payable under the convertible note agreements.

In connection with the sale of the convertible notes, effective as of September 19, 2003 we issued to the four investors Series A Warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 337,500 shares of our common stock, and Series B Warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 225,000 shares of our common stock. The Series A Warrants have an exercise price of $2.00 per share, and are exercisable at any time from September 19, 2003, through September 19, 2008. The Series B Warrants have an exercise price of $1.00 per share, are exercisable only upon the occurrence of specified events, and expire on September 19, 2004. Events which entitle the holders of the Series B Warrants to exercise the warrants include the following: (i) a material adverse change in our business, as defined in the securities purchase agreements; or (ii) the “market price” of our common stock on March 19, 2004, is less than $2.37, with the “market price” being defined as the arithmetic average of the five lowest daily volume-weighted average prices of our common stock during the 15 consecutive trading days immediately preceding March 19, 2004. On March 19, 2004 the “Market Price” was greater than $2.37. In addition to anti-dilution provisions providing for proportionate adjustments in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, reverse stock splits and similar events, the exercise price of the warrants is subject to downward adjustment upon the issuance by us of common stock or securities convertible into common stock at a price per share of less than the then current exercise price. Payment of the exercise price of the warrants may be made, at the option of the warrant holder, either in cash or by a “cashless exercise”. Upon a cashless exercise, in lieu of paying the exercise price in cash, the warrant holder would receive shares of common stock with a value equal to the difference between the market price (the average of the closing prices of the common stock for the five trading days immediately preceding the exercise date) at the time of exercise and the then current exercise price multiplied by the number of shares so exercised. During 2004 the equivalent of 145,000 Series A warrants were exercised of which 100,000 were converted into 38,987 shares of commons stock through a cashless conversion.

share. In addition to anti-dilution provisions providing for proportionate adjustments in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, reverse stock splits and similar events, this conversion price is subject to downward adjustment upon the issuance by us of common stock or securities convertible into common stock at a price per share of less than $2.00 per share. We may elect, with limited exceptions, to pay the interest due under the notes through the issuance of shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to the arithmetic average of the five lowest daily volume-weighted average prices of our common stock during the 15 consecutive trading days immediately preceding payment.

 

In connection with the sale of the convertible notes, effective as of September 19, 2003 we issued to the four investors Series A Warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 337,500 shares of our common stock, and Series B Warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 225,000 shares of our common stock. The Series A Warrants have an exercise price of $2.00 per share, and are exercisable at any time from September 19, 2003, through September 19, 2008. The Series B Warrants have an exercise price of $1.00 per share, are exercisable only upon the occurrence of specified events, and expire on September 19, 2004. Events which entitle the holders of the Series B Warrants to exercise the warrants include the following: (i) a material adverse change in our business, as defined in the securities purchase agreements; or (ii) the “market price” of our common stock on March 19, 2004, is less than $2.37, with the “market price” being defined as the arithmetic average of the five lowest daily volume-weighted average prices of our common stock during the 15 consecutive trading days immediately preceding March 19, 2004. On March 19, 2004 the “Market Price” was greater than $2.37. In addition to anti-dilution provisions providing for proportionate adjustments in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, reverse stock splits and similar events, the exercise price of the warrants is subject to downward adjustment upon the issuance by us of common stock or securities convertible into common stock at a price per share of less than the then current exercise price. Payment of the exercise price of the warrants may be made, at the option of the warrant holder, either in cash or by a “cashless exercise.” Upon a cashless exercise, in lieu of paying the exercise price in cash, the warrant holder would receive shares of common stock with a value equal to the difference between the market price (the average of the closing prices of the common stock for the five trading days immediately preceding the exercise date) at the time of exercise and the then current exercise price multiplied by the number of shares so exercised. During 2004 the equivalent of 145,000 Series A warrants were exercised of which 100,000 were converted into 38,987 shares of commons stock through a cashless conversion.
