The sale closed on November 5, 2004.

In the underwriting agreement, we agreed to issue to the underwriters warrants to purchase a number of shares of common stock equal to 10% of the aggregate amount of common stock sold by the underwriters. The warrants shall be exercisable for a period of four years and shall have an exercise price of 120% of the offering price attributable to such shares. The underwriters will not be entitled to cashless exercise of the warrants but will be granted customary "piggyback" registration rights with respect to the shares obtained upon exercise of the warrants. The warrants will be restricted from sale, transfer, assignment or hypothecation for a period of one year from the effective date of the offering, except to officers or partners (but not directors) of the agent and members of the selling group.  On closing of the sale of stock pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, we issued warrants to the underwriters for 360,000 shares.

The underwriters have an option, exercisable within 30 days after the date of the Underwriting Agreement, to purchase up to an aggregate of 540,000 additional shares of common stock at the same price less the underwriting discount. The underwriters may exercise this option solely to cover over-allotments.

In the Underwriting Agreement, we agreed that:

- we will pay our expenses related to the offering, which we estimate will be $226,000;

- we will reimburse the underwriters for their direct expenses, including postage, telephone, travel, transportation and other similar expenses; and

- we agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, or to contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make because of any of those liabilities.

Further, if we issue securities in a subsequent financing within 12 months of the closing of this offering, and an investor in that offering is one that was introduced to us in this offering by the underwriters, then the underwriters will have the right of first refusal to act as agent for those investors.
