You should read this prospectus supplement and the related prospectus carefully before you invest. Both documents contain information you should consider when making your investment decision.
On September 4, 2002, we issued a draw down notice to Townsbury Investments Limited ("TIL") in connection with the common stock purchase agreement dated August 23, 2001 evidencing a standby equity-based credit facility between us and TIL. This notice required that TIL purchase up to $250,000 of our common stock pursuant to a pricing formula in the stock purchase agreement. The settlement period began on September 5, 2002, ended on September 11, 2002, and settled on September 17, 2002. At the final settlement date on September 17, 2002, TIL purchased a total of 2,282,434 shares of our common stock at an average purchase price of $0.110 per share, resulting in proceeds of $237,000 net of brokerage fees. Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. received $12,500 in brokerage fees and the escrow agent received $500 in escrow fees in connection with this drawdown.
The attached prospectus relates to the resale of shares acquired by TIL pursuant to the stock purchase agreement. Because TIL may sell some or all of these shares, and because there are currently no agreements, arrangements or understandings with respect to the sale of any of these shares, we cannot estimate the actual amount of shares that they will hold after the completion of the offering.
We will not receive any of the proceeds from this sale of shares by TIL. However, we did receive the sale price of common stock sold to TIL. We expect to use the proceeds of this sale of common stock for general corporate purposes.
