Act.

Use
of
Proceeds
|
We
will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares of our
common stock being offered for sale by the selling stockholders. However,
we may receive up to approximately $4.0 million in proceeds upon exercise
of the warrants held by the selling stockholders, as the warrants have an
average exercise price of $0.83 per share and are exercisable into
4,808,503 shares of our common stock. These potential proceeds
will be used for the research and development of our products and for
general working capital purposes. See “Use of
Proceeds.”
|
Plan
of Distribution
|
The
selling stockholders, and their pledgees, donees, transferees or other
successors in interest, may from time to time offer and sell, separately
or together, some or all of the common stock covered by this prospectus.
Registration of the common stock covered by this prospectus does not mean,
however, that those shares necessarily will be offered or sold. See “Plan of
Distribution.”

In
May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS 165”).
SFAS 165 sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which
management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions
that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial
statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize
events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its
financial statements, and the disclosures that an entity should make about
events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. SFAS
165 will be effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15,
2009 and will be applied prospectively. The Company adopted the provisions
of FAS 165. The adoption of SFAS No. 165 did not have a material impact on
the Company’s condensed financial condition, results of operations or cash
flows.
|
2.
|
In
June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168 “The FASB Accounting Standards
Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
— A Replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” (“SFAS 168”). Statement 168
establishes the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM (Codification) as
the single source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles (U.S. GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by
nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under
authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative
U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. SFAS 168 and the Codification are effective
for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending
after September 15, 2009. When effective, the Codification will supersede
all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other
nongrandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the
Codification will become nonauthoritative. Following SFAS 168, the FASB
will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff
Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, the FASB will
issue Accounting Standards Updates, which will serve only to: (a) update
the Codification; (b) provide background information about the guidance;
and (c) provide the bases for conclusions on the change(s) in the
Codification. The Company does not expect that the adoption of SFAS 168 to
have a material impact on the Company’s financial
statements.

Act;
|
(ii)
|
to
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective
date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration
statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range
may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission
pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and
price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate
offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in
the effective registration statement;
and
|
(iii)
|
to
include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution
not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material
change to such information in the registration
statement.
|
(A)
|
Each
prospectus filed by a Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be
deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed
prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement;

the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the
registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of
prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first
contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the
prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of
the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date

relating to the securities in the registration statement to which the
prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall
be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof. Provided, however, that
no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part
