Item 8.01 Other Events.

As previously reported, the Company requires significant additional financing from outside sources. At this time, the Company has been unable to obtain commitments for the necessary financing.

Without the additional financing, the Company will be required to take the necessary steps to reduce its operating costs. This will involve personnel reductions and suspending business operations. The Company intends to maintain a skeletal staff until additional financing is obtained or other arrangements are made.

From September 2005 through December 2007, the Company raised funds by executing convertible secured notes in the aggregate principal amount of $6,815,000. However, since December 31, 2007, the Company has raised only $310,000 of gross proceeds of additional financing. Although the Company has been seeking additional financing and exploring alternative sources of financing, as noted above nothing has been secured at this time.
