Item 2.02 -- Results of Operations and Financial Condition

      On March 15, 2005, the Company issued a press release disclosing the
consummation of the private placement disclosed in Item 3.02. The press release
is included as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.

Item 3.02 - Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

      On March 14, 2005, the Company sold an aggregate of 2,880,000 shares of
Common Stock, $.01 par value ("Common Stock"), and warrants ("Warrants") to
purchase up to an aggregate of 720,000 shares of common stock for aggregate
proceeds of $21,600,000. The total number of shares that are subject to this
offering represent 19.991 percent of the issued and outstanding shares of Common
Stock immediately prior to the offering. The Common Stock and Warrants were sold
under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on a private
placement basis, to domestic and foreign institutional and accredited investors.
Wells Fargo Securities, LLC acted as the placement agent in the offering, and
the Company paid approximately $1,296,000 in commissions and expenses.

      The Warrants are exerciseable at $9.00 per share, at any time until March
10, 2010. The Warrants may be redeemed by the Company after March 10, 2007, at
$.01 per warrant, upon not less than ten and not more than twenty trading days
prior written notice of the date of redemption, provided that the shares
underlying the Warrants are registered for resale and the common stock traded at
a volume weighted average price equal to or greater than 200% of the then
exercise price for at least 15 trading days in the period of 20 consecutive
trading days ending not more than five trading days prior to the date of the
redemption notice. The holders may exercise the Warrants until the date of
redemption.

      The Common Stock issued in the private offering and the Common Stock
underlying the Warrants will be registered by the Company for re-offer and
re-sale by the investors. The Company is committed to file the registration
statement within 30 days of closing and have it declared effective within 90
days of closing, and if those time periods are not met, the Company will pay a
liquidated damages amount of one percent of the amount invested for each 30-day
period (pro rated) until the filing or effectiveness of the registration
statement, up to a maximum of ten percent.

      The Company intends to use the proceeds of the private placement for
expanding its product offerings, marketing, research and development and general
working capital purposes.
