This amendment is being filed to report an increase of shares of Common Stock held by the Reporting Person due to the Reporting Person’s right to acquire an additional 500,000 shares upon the exercise of options which are currently exercisable. On January 11, 2008, a five-year stock option to purchase 500,000 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock at $0.077 per share was granted by the Issuer to the Reporting Person, which option is immediately exercisable.

The Reporting Person beneficially owns an aggregate of 3,366,343 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, representing 27.5% of the shares of Common Stock of the Issuer. Such amount does not include 2,391,343 shares and options to purchase 975,000 shares held by the Reporting Person’s spouse, as to all of which the Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership. Of the shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Person, 2,391,343 shares are held directly by the Reporting Person and 975,000 shares are obtainable upon exercise of options which are currently exercisable. The options were granted pursuant to the Issuer’s 2004 Equity Incentive Plan. The Reporting Person has sole voting and dispositive power over all of the Common Stock and rights to acquire Common Stock currently owned by him.

On December 14, 2007, the Reporting Person purchased 80,000 shares in an open market transaction at a price of $0.065 per share. On December 27, 2007, he disposed of 80,000 shares by gift. Except as described in this paragraph and in Item 4 above, the Reporting Person has not engaged in any transaction during the past 60 days in any securities of the Issuer.

The Issuer and the Reporting Person entered into option agreements dated January 24, 2007 and January 11, 2008, which option agreements are the standard form of agreement between the Issuer and optionees receiving stock options under the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan.

After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
