Item 3.02 Election of Directors.

      Effective October 18, 2005, the Company expanded its Board of Directors to
three members and appointed  Romeo D'Angela to fill the vacancy  created by such
expansion.  Although the Company  initially  disclosed (via press release issued
October  17,  2005) that Mr.  D'Angela  would be an  independent  director,  the
Company now believes that Mr. D'Angela would not be considered  "independent" as
that term is defined in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the Nasdaq listing standards.  Since
the  Company's  members of its Board of Directors  currently  serve as its audit
committee,  as well as performing the functions of a nominating  committee,  Mr.
D'Angela will participate in those duties with the entire Board of Directors.

      In August and  September  2005,  Mr.  D'Angela and Novadan  Capital LP, an
entity controlled by Mr. D'Angela,  participated in a private placement with the
Company whereby the Company issued 8% Convertible  Notes. The private  placement
was described in the  Company's  Form 10-QSB for the period ended July 31, 2005,
and  capitalized  terms  are as  defined  in  that  Form  10-QSB.  Mr.  D'Angela
participated in both the Company's  Original  Offering and the Amended  Offering
whereas Novadan Capital LP participated only in the Original  Offering.  Novadan
Capital Ltd., an entity  controlled by Mr. D'Angela,  received a finder's fee of
$85,487 in connection with the Original Offering.

      The  following  table  summarizes  the  Company's  securities  held by Mr.
D'Angela and his affiliated entities:
