Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Considerations.

The aggregate purchase price of the 12,8678,897 shares of the Common Stock purchased by Thermo Funding on December 12 and 16, 2008 was $2,940,469. The source of funding for such purchases was general working capital.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Thermo Funding acquired the shares of Common Stock in December 2008 for the purpose of increasing the equity position of the Reporting Persons, which had been reduced due to equity and convertible debt issuances by the Company since April 15, 2008. The Reporting Persons considered the Common Stock to be an attractive investment at the price levels at which they acquired the shares of Common Stock. The Reporting Persons may acquire additional shares of Common Stock in the future.

From the Company’s initial public offering in November 2006 until April 15, 2008, the Reporting Persons owned over 50% of the Company’s Common Stock. Since April 15, 2008, the Reporting Persons have continued to own over 40% of the Common Stock and, as a group, have remained the largest stockholder of the Company. In

addition, Mr. Monroe has served as the Company’s Chairman since April 2004 and Chief Executive Officer since January 2005. On November 14, 2008, Mr. Monroe was granted options to purchase 200,000 shares of Common Stock at $0.38 a share as compensation for his board service. All members of the Board of Directors received an identical option grant.

Except for the acquisitions by Mr. Monroe’s trust described in Item 3, the grant of stock options described in this Item 4 and in the acquisitions by Thermo Funding described in Item 5, ownership by the Reporting Persons of the Shares of Common Stock were reported on Schedule 13G and beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons prior to the Company’s initial public offering.

Except as set forth in this Item 4, the Reporting Persons do not have any plans or proposals which related to or would result in:

(a)		The acquisition by any person of additional securities of the issuer, or the disposition of securities of the issuer;

(b)		An extraordinary corporation transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the issuer or any of its subsidiaries;

(c)		A sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the issuer or of any of its subsidiaries;

(d)		Any change in the present board of directors or management of the issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board;

(e)		Any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the issuer;

(f)		Any other material change in the issuer’s business or corporate structure;

(g)		Changes in the issuer’s charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the issuer by any person;

(h)		Causing a class of securities of the issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association;

(i)		Causing a class of equity securities of the issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act; or

(j)		Any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

In the ordinary course of strategic planning for the Company, the Board of Directors has discussed, and in the future may discuss, some or all of the items listed in (a) through (j) above. Mr. Monroe participates in those discussions as Chairman of the Board.
