ITEM 3.02.         UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

         On June 15, 2012, the Registrant sold 140,000 shares of the
Registrant's Common Stock (the "Shares") for aggregate consideration of
$350,000, or $2.50 per share,  in a transaction not registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").   The Shares were
sold to certain members of the Registrant's Board of Directors, and the proceeds
will be used to satisfy certain operating cash requirements of the Registrant.
There were no underwriting discounts or commissions on the sale.  The Shares
were issued by the Registrant in reliance upon an exemption from registration
under the Securities Act set forth in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, as
transactions not constituting a public offering of securities because the Shares
were issued privately without general solicitation.

                                   SIGNATURES

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
