stock
issued and outstanding and 3,067,500 shares issuable upon exercise
of
common stock purchase warrants outstanding as of the date hereof,
and such
indeterminate number of additional shares of common stock issuable
for no
additional consideration by reason of any stock dividend, stock split,
recapitalization or other similar transaction effected without the
receipt
of consideration, which results in an increase in the number of
outstanding shares of our common stock. In the event of a stock split,
stock dividend or similar transaction involving our common stock,
in order
to prevent dilution, the number of shares registered shall be
automatically increased to cover the additional shares in accordance
with
Rule 416(a) under the Securities Act of 1933.
|
(2)

Estimated
solely for the purpose of computing the registration fee required
by

and
low ($0.35) prices of the common stock on January 9, 2006, as quoted
on
the American Stock Exchange. It is not known how may shares will
be
purchased under this registration statement or at what price shares
