Item 8.01.  Other Events.
 
As previously reported, on June 30, 2006 we sold 5,250,000 shares of our Series A 10% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) with an aggregate stated value of $5,250,000, to four institutional investors. The Series A Preferred Stock has a dividend rate of 10% per annum on the stated value of those shares, increasing to 20% per annum upon the occurrence of any of the events of default specified in the Certificate of Designation designating the Series A Preferred Stock. Dividends are payable in cash or, provided no event of default is then continuing, with additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
 
The registration rights provided for in the subscription agreement we entered into with the investors in that offering:

·  
require that we file a registration statement with the SEC on or before 120 days from the closing of the private placement, and cause such registration statement to be effective by February 25, 2007 (240 days following the closing); and

·  
entitles each of those investors to liquidated damages in an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the purchase price of the Series A Preferred Stock if we fail to timely file that registration statement with, or have it declared effective by, the SEC.
 
Although we timely filed the registration statement as required by the subscription agreement, that registration statement has not yet been declared effective, and we do not expect it to be declared effective until April 2007 at the earliest.
 
In addition to entitling the investors to the liquidated damages as set forth above, the failure to have the registration statement declared effective when required pursuant to the subscription agreement constitutes an event of default under the Certificate of Designation designating the Series A Preferred Stock.
 
Accordingly, we are obligated to pay those investors an aggregate of $105,000 per 30-day period from February 26, 2007 through the date that the registration statement is declared effective by the SEC, and cash dividends on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued to those investors began to accrue at the rate of 20% per annum on February 26, 2007 and will continue to accrue at that rate until the registration statement is declared effective.
