ITEM 3.02
UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

On November 19, 2007, we completed a private placement of equity securities solely to accredited investors.  Pursuant to the private placement, we issued 1,165,000 shares of our restricted common stock at a price of $14.00 per share for a total gross offering price of $16,310,000 with net proceeds of approximately $15,000,000 to the Company after expenses.  Pursuant to the terms of the transaction, we are obligated to file a registration statement no later than February 15, 2008.  The offer and sale of the common stock was made pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of the Act pursuant to Section 4(2) and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. All of the offers and sales of the common stock were made exclusively to “accredited investors” (as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D) in offers and sales not involving a public offering.  The purchasers purchased the securities for their own account and not with a view towards or for resale. The private placement was conducted without general solicitation or advertising.  Merriman, Curhan, Ford & Co. acted as the placement agent for the transaction.  A copy of the press release for the transaction is provided as Exhibit 99.1
