On May 26, 2009, the Company completed the sale of 556,786 shares of its common stock in a private placement with certain investors, including certain officers and directors of the Company and beneficial holders of more than five percent of the Company's outstanding capital stock. Of the shares sold, the Company issued 306,786 shares to non-management investors at $1.80 per share, 90% of the closing bid price of the common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market one day prior to the execution of the Securities Purchase Agreement. Kevin J. Mills, President, Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company, and Charlie Bass, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, participated in the private placement for a total of 250,000 shares at $2.00 per share, the closing bid price of the common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market one day prior to the execution of the Securities Purchase Agreement. In conjunction with the private placement, the Company issued to non-management investors five-year warrants to acquire an additional 61,356 shares of common stock at $1.80 per share, and issued to the placement agent a five-year warrant to acquire 27,839 shares of common stock at $1.80 per share. The aggregate amount raised in the private placement was $1,052,215, and net proceeds after costs and expenses were $884,728. The aggregate number of shares of common stock issued and reserved for the exercise of warrants issued in or in connection with the private placement was 645,981. Using a binomial lattice valuation formula with the following assumptions: 0.0% dividend yield rate, 2.30% risk free interest rate, $3.00 fair value of common stock, $1.80 exercise price, a life of five years, and a volatility of 109.63%, the warrant issued to the placement agent was valued at $33,407 and included in the cost of the financing. The proceeds from the private placement were used to increase the Company's working capital balances.
