On December 5, 2007, pursuant to a subscription agreement entered into with an accredited investor, the Company sold (i) 50 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock with a liquidation preference of $10,000 per share, with each share of preferred stock, convertible into 10,000 shares of common stock of the Company, subject to customary adjustments; and (ii) a warrant to purchase 175,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.25 per share that expired on December 5, 2009, two years from issuance, for aggregate consideration of $500,000. A summary of significant terms is as follows:

Dividends- Series A Convertible Preferred Stock holders are not entitled to a dividend unless the Company declares and pays a cash dividend on the Common Stock. In that event, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to share in such dividends on a pro rata basis, as if their shares had been converted into shares of Common Stock.

Conversion- The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holders, into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $1.00 per share. Based on the original purchase price of $10,000 per share of preferred, each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into 10,000 shares of common stock. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock also contains an automatic conversion wherein the shares will automatically convert into common shares when the closing price of the Company’s common stock is $2.50 for ten (10) consecutive trading days.

Liquidation preference- The liquidation preference is $10,000 per share for a total of $500,000.

The Company has accounted for the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in accordance with the provisions of ASC 815-10, “Accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities,” and ASC 470-20, “Accounting for Debt instruments with specific conversion features”. The Company has allocated the value received between the preferred stock and the related warrants. The allocated value for the preferred stock and the related warrants was approximately $475,000 and $25,000, respectively. In addition, the Company evaluated the shares and determined a beneficial conversion feature existed within this transaction, which totaled $55,000; the preferred stock was further discounted by this amount. The beneficial conversion amount related to the value of the preferred stock and the associated warrant was then accreted back to the preferred stock in accordance with the conversion provision, which allowed for 100% to be converted immediately. The accretion was reflected as a dividend expense in 2007.  The warrants have been classified as an equity instrument.
