Who is entitled to act on this proposal?

On the record date, there were 21,045,500 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding.

PROPOSAL I
 
APPROVAL OF INCREASE IN AUTHORIZED SHARES
 
Under our Certificate of Incorporation as currently in effect, there are 50,000,000 shares of common stock and 15,000 shares of preferred stock authorized for issuance.  As of November 18, 2009, 21,045,500 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding and 38,250 shares of preferred stock were issued and outstanding.  As of that date, there were approximately 142,909,573 shares of our common stock reserved for issuance as follows:  (a) 12,747,539 shares upon the exercise of outstanding warrants, (b) 7,500,000 shares subject to outstanding options under our Incentive Stock Option Plan and Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the “Plans”), (c) 1,000,000 shares available for issuance under the Plans, (d) 1,030,009 shares reserved for issuance upon conversion of the outstanding shares of preferred stock, and (e) 120,632.025 shares upon conversion of our outstanding convertible notes.  Accordingly, after taking into account the shares of common stock outstanding and reserved for issuance, we do not have any authorized shares of common stock available for issuance.
 
2

On November 5, 2009, our Board of Directors approved an amendment to Article IV of our Certificate of Incorporation, to increase the shares of common stock that are authorized for issuance by 200,000,000 shares, bringing the total number of common shares authorized for issuance to 250,000,000. The directors also directed that the amendment be submitted for approval by our stockholders as required by Delaware corporations’ law.  No change will be made to the number of shares of preferred stock that are authorized for issuance, and no change will be made to the other provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation that pertain to the rights and preferences of our authorized common stock or preferred stock. The full text of the proposed amended Article IV of our Articles of Incorporation is attached as Appendix A to this Consent Solicitation Statement.
 
The purpose of the proposed increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock is to make additional shares available for issuance by the Company as the Board of Directors deems appropriate or necessary, including having enough shares available to cover the issuance of shares reserved for issuance.  As we have previously publicly disclosed, based upon our currently available funds, we will have to obtain additional financing in order to fund our ongoing business and operations and meet our working capital needs. We currently anticipate that we will seek to raise additional capital through the sale of additional shares of common stock or securities convertible into common stock.  Unless our Certificate of Incorporation is amended to increase the number of shares of common stock we are authorized to sell, we may not have sufficient authorized shares of common stock available for this purpose.  Furthermore, additional authorized shares may be needed in the future in connection with possible acquisitions of other companies, businesses or assets, or in connection with establishing strategic partnerships or other business relationships, or for other corporate purposes.
 
If the increase in our authorized shares of common stock is approved by the stockholders, the Board of Directors does not intend to solicit further stockholder approval prior to the issuance of any authorized shares of common stock, except as may be required by applicable law.  Holders of our common stock as such have no statutory preemptive or subscription rights with respect to future issuances of common stock.
 
The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted upon by the stockholders.  Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding preferred stock, the holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for that purpose.  In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of our common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities, subject to prior distribution rights of preferred stock, if any, then outstanding.  There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to our common stock.
 
The proposed increase in the authorized number of shares of common stock will not have any immediate effect on the rights of existing stockholders.  Any subsequent issuance of such shares could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change-in-control of the Company. Any issuance of additional shares of common stock also could have the effect of diluting any future earnings per share and book value per share of the outstanding shares of our common stock, and such additional shares could be used to dilute the stock ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to obtain control of the Company.  We have no present agreement or commitment, however, to issue any additional shares of common stock other than as set forth above.
 
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS CONSENT TO THE AMENDMENT TO ARTICLE IV OUR ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION.
 
BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF MANAGEMENT AND PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS
 
The following table sets forth the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned as of October 31, 2009 by (i) those persons or groups known to the Company who will beneficially own more than 5% of the Company’s common stock; (ii) each director; (iii) each executive officer; and, (iv) all directors and executive officers as a group.  The information is determined in accordance with Rule 13(d)-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act based upon information furnished by persons listed or contained in filings made by them with the Securities and Exchange Commission by information provided by such persons directly to the Company.  The stockholders listed possess sole voting and investment power with respect to their shares.
