Our ability to continue as a “going concern” is uncertain.
Our consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2005 have been prepared on the assumption that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm included therein contains an explanatory paragraph that raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
3
As of December 31, 2005, we had cash and cash equivalents of $77,000, assets totaling $4.5 million, liabilities totaling $11.6 million, and incurred losses from continuing operations of $5.1 million for the year then ended. We expect to continue to expend cash and incur operating losses at the current net sales levels, but to a lesser extent than the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 as certain operating expenses are expected to decline from 2005 levels. Our ability to generate cash and operating income is dependent on increasing our customer base to expand the penetration of our product technology and the realization of our lower operating expense targets. It is uncertain whether we will be able to obtain a sufficient amount of additional capital, if needed, on acceptable terms, or at all. Further, if future financing requirements are satisfied through the issuance of equity or debt instruments, shareholders may experience additional dilution in terms of their percentage of ownership of our securities. In the event that we are unable to obtain additional capital, our operations will be materially negatively impacted and we will be required to take actions that will harm our business, including potentially ceasing certain or all of our operations.
The success of our new products depends upon customer acceptance of both the testing of semiconductor devices in strip form and the automation of the back-end of the semiconductor manufacturing process.
Several of our new products, including our Tapestry strip handler and other Smart Solutions products, are used to test and process semiconductor devices in strip form. Assembly of semiconductor devices in strip form is the standard industry practice. However, we cannot assure you that testing of semiconductor devices in strip form will become widely accepted by the industry. Until recently, most semiconductor manufacturers believed it was necessary to test semiconductors after they were cut from the strips because they believed the act of cutting the strips containing the semiconductor devices, referred to as singulation, could result in damage or contamination to the semiconductor devices and, as a consequence, make the prior test results unreliable.
We introduced our Tapestry handling system in February 1999. In May 2000, we introduced other Smart Solutions products, which provide additional process capability for handling and testing semiconductor devices in strip form. In July of 2003, we introduced our Tapestry SC, a second-generation system. In July of 2004, we introduced our Tapestry SC SmartMark, a second-generation system. Our new products are attractive to customers only if the customers can see the value of automating the test and assembly portions of their semiconductor manufacturing operations. Although semiconductor manufacturers have automated the wafer fabrication portion of their operation, or the front-end of the semiconductor manufacturing process, very few semiconductor manufacturers have invested a significant amount of capital to automate the test and assembly portions of their operations. We are introducing new products for technologies, which may not be accepted on a wide-scale basis by the industry. If either the testing of semiconductor devices in strip form or wide-scale automation of the back-end is not accepted by the industry, our net sales likely will suffer.
Downturns in semiconductor industry business cycles could have a negative impact on our operating results.
Our business depends heavily upon capital expenditures by semiconductor manufacturers. The semiconductor industry is highly cyclical, with periods of capacity shortage and periods of excess capacity. In periods of excess capacity, the industry sharply cuts purchases of capital equipment, such as our products. Thus, a semiconductor industry downturn or slowdown substantially reduces our revenues and operating results and could hurt our financial condition. In the fourth quarter of 2000, the semiconductor capital equipment industry went into a severe downturn. This downturn continued through 2005, and has negatively affected our operations and financial condition.
4
We have offered automation solutions and, unless we effectively market our company as a provider of automation solutions, our expected financial results will suffer.
We offer equipment automation solutions and software development services. These solutions and services require different marketing techniques and involve a more extensive decision-making process by customers than for our traditional handler products. We need to successfully market our automation products using different sales methods than we have previously used.
We acquired an automation software business in June 1999 and introduced our first suite of products to provide an automation solution for the testing portion of semiconductor manufacturing in May 2000. The sales from these operations make up less than 1%, 3% and 6% of net sales for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Our future success is dependent upon being able to successfully market our automation products. If we are not successful in effectively marketing ourselves as an equipment automation solutions provider to the semiconductor industry, our results of operations and financial condition will suffer.
We invest heavily in research and development efforts and our financial results depend upon the success of these efforts.
We have spent, and expect to continue to spend, a significant amount of time and resources developing new products and refining existing products and systems. In light of the long product development cycles inherent in our industry, these expenditures will be made well in advance of the prospect of deriving revenue from the sale of new systems.
Our ability to introduce and market new products successfully is subject to a wide variety of challenges during this development cycle, such as design defects or changing market requirements that could delay introduction of these systems. In addition, since our customers are not obligated by long-term contracts to purchase our products, our anticipated product orders may not materialize, or orders that do materialize may be canceled. As a result, if we do not achieve market acceptance of new products, we may not be able to realize sufficient sales needed to recoup our research and development expenditures.
Our operating results often have large changes from period to period, which may result in a decrease in our stock price.
Our quarterly and annual operating results are affected by a wide variety of factors that could adversely affect sales or operating results or lead to significant variability in our operating results. A variety of factors could cause this variability, including the following:
• the cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry;
• delays in, or cancellation of, significant system purchases by customers;
• delays in the development, introduction and production of our products;
• changes in the mix of our products and their gross margins;
• new product introductions by competitors and competitive pricing pressures;
• the time required for us to adjust our operating expenses to respond to changes in sales and market conditions;
• the timing of any future acquisitions and their effect on our financial results;
• component shortages resulting in manufacturing delays; and
• pressure by customers to reduce prices, shorten delivery times and extend payment terms.
We cannot predict the impact of these and other factors on our sales or operating results in any future period. Results of operations in any period, therefore, should not be considered indicative of the results to be expected for any future period. Because of this difficulty in predicting future performance, our operating results may fall below expectations of security analysts or investors in some future periods. Our failure to meet these expectations would likely adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
5
Our stock price is volatile and it may drop unexpectedly.
Stock prices of companies in the semiconductor equipment industry, including ours, can swing dramatically with little relationship to operating performance. Factors, which could cause our stock price to change, include:
• changes in the market’s view of the semiconductor industry in general;
• changes in our quarterly operating results for the reasons set out in the previous risk factors for other reasons;
• changes in our reported financial results based on accounting pronouncements;
• changes in research analysts’ expectations for us or our industry or failure to meet research analysts’ estimates;
• changes in the general economic conditions or developments in the semiconductor industry which affect investors confidence;
• announcements by us or our competitors of technological innovations or new or enhanced products and;
Additional factors, which may impact our results, include:
• we depend upon a few customers for the majority of our revenues and a reduction in their orders could adversely affect us;
• our operating results would be harmed if one of our key suppliers fails to deliver components for our products;
• the loss of any of our key personnel could harm our business;
• our markets are very competitive and demand for our products may decrease if additional competitors enter our markets;
• our dependence upon international sales involves significant risk;
• the possible adverse impact of economic or political changes in the market we serve;
• our inability to obtain financing to fund continuing or expanding operations;
Fluctuations or decreases in the trading price of our common stock may adversely affect the ability to trade our shares. In addition, these fluctuations could adversely affect our ability to raise capital through future equity financing.
On March 9, 2004, we completed a $5.0 million financing transaction with an institutional lender, Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. (“Laurus”), secured by all of the assets of the Company. The financing included a $3.0 million working capital line of credit and a $2.0 million long-term note. The notes were partially convertible into shares of our common stock. In connection with the transaction, we issued to Laurus a seven-year warrant to purchase 400,000 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $2.30 to $2.88 per share. The secured loan in existence at that time with a prior lender was terminated.
On January 28, 2005, we completed an amendment to the financing agreement with Laurus to defer payments on the long-term convertible note. As part of this amendment, the conversion prices on both notes were reduced. We also issued Laurus at that time a seven-year warrant to purchase 150,000 shares of common stock at $.67 per share.
6
On April 29, 2005, we completed another financing transaction with Laurus in which we borrowed an additional $2.5 million, and which was convertible into shares of common stock. We also issued Laurus at that time an option to purchase 2,556,651 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $.01 per share. We received net proceeds of approximately $2.4 million at the closing.
On February 17, 2006, we again restructured the financing with Laurus, and increased the total maximum secured indebtedness with Laurus to $9.25 million. The restructured financing now includes a $5.25 million term note. Interest is payable monthly on the term note at the prime rate plus 2.5%. Beginning 360 days after closing, we are required to make monthly payments equal to 1/60th of the principal amount until three years after the closing, at which time the entire remaining principal and accrued interest is due and payable in full. The note is non-convertible. In addition to the $5.25 million note, the working capital line of credit was increased from $3.0 million to $4.0 million, and made non-convertible. The note is payable in full on March 8, 2008. Interest is payable monthly on the note at the prime rate plus 2.5%. The existing $1.2 million over-advance in excess of the borrowing base on the working capital line of credit was extended until April 30, 2007. However, commencing on December 1, 2006, the over-advance is to be reduced by $200,000 each month. The Company also issued Laurus a 10-year option to purchase 2,500,000 shares at an exercise price of $.01 per share. The shares issuable upon exercise of the option have standard registration rights. As a result of the new financing with Laurus, the conversion price for the holders of our 10% Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes who accepted the prior restructuring agreements has been reduced to $0.56 per share.
The shares included in this offering include 5,606,651 shares issuable to Laurus pursuant to exercise of options and warrants issued to it in connection with the financings.
We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares by the selling shareholders, except proceeds which we may receive from the exercise of warrants and options issued to selling shareholders, which will be used for general working capital purposes. Upon conversion by selling shareholders of their promissory notes, we will transfer the principal amounts of the notes from debt to equity in our financial statements. All net proceeds from the sale of the shares covered by this prospectus will go to the selling shareholders who offer and sell their shares.
The following table sets forth information known to us with respect to the number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by each of the selling shareholders prior to the offering, and the number of and percentage of shares to be beneficially owned after the offering. In accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, beneficial ownership for each shareholder includes shares owned, and shares deemed to be owned by virtue of the shareholder’s right to acquire them pursuant to conversion of our promissory notes, and exercise of warrants and options that are currently exercisable or become exercisable within the next 60 days.
The table also sets forth the total number of shares of our common stock offered by each selling shareholder, and the number acquired, or that may be acquired in the future, from conversion of our promissory notes, payment of interest on our promissory notes, and exercise of warrants and options.
The table assumes that the selling shareholders will sell all of the shares offered by them in this offering. We are unable to determine, however, the exact number of shares that will actually be sold or when or if these sales will occur. To our knowledge, each of the persons named in this table has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares of common stock shown as beneficially owned by that person. None of the selling shareholders has had any position, office or other material relationship with us in the past three years.

All of these selling shareholders have represented to us that they acquired our securities in the ordinary course of business and without any agreements, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.
(2) Those selling shareholders which are entities are controlled by the following persons: Amaranth Trading L.L.C.—Nicholas Maounis; Maple Row Partners L.P.—Eric Blattman; Straus Partners, Straus GEPT Partners and Straus-Spelman Partners—Melville Straus; C. E. Unterberg Towbin Capital Partners I, L.P., M. & C. Unterberg Foundation, and B. & I. Foundation—T. I.

(3) The number of shares owned before the offering is less than the number of shares offered by the noteholders in most cases, and in total, because the number of shares owned before the offering does not include shares issuable in payment of interest during 2003-2006.
(4) Of the shares offered by the noteholders, 11,904,826 shares (70.5%) consist of shares issuable upon conversion of the notes, and 4,979,543 shares (29.5%) consist of shares payable as interest, except for Mr. Long, Mr. Colton, and Ahab Capital, who have not agreed to accept shares in payment of interest.
(5) Reflects shares purchased and sold in the open market after the beginning of the offering.
10
(6) Feltl and Company is a broker-dealer, and it was the placement agent for the March 2003 private placement. Its ownership consists of a warrant to purchase 253,350 shares issued to it as part of its compensation.
(7) Silicon Valley Bank is the lender with which we entered into a line of credit in June 2003. Its ownership consists of a warrant to purchase 30,000 shares issued to it in connection with the transaction.
(8) Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. is the lender from the financing transactions during 2004-2006. Its total shares offered consists of 5,606,651 shares issuable upon exercise of warrants and options.
(9) This offering commenced in 2003. The selling shareholders have already sold a number of the shares included in the total number of shares offered.
11
We are registering 22,774,370 shares of our common stock on behalf of the selling shareholders. The selling shareholders named in the table above, or pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest selling shares received from a named selling shareholder as a gift, partnership distribution or other non-sale transfer after the date of this prospectus, may sell the shares from time to time. All of such persons are “selling shareholders” as that term is used in this prospectus. The selling shareholders are offering shares of common stock that they received from us pursuant to private placement transactions. The selling shareholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale.
The selling shareholders may sell the shares from time to time in one or more of the following transactions:
• an over-the-counter distribution in accordance with the rules of the OTC Bulletin Board;
• ordinary brokerage transactions and transaction in which the broker solicits purchases;
• privately negotiated transactions;
• a block trade in which a broker-dealer may resell a portion of the block, as principal, in order to facilitate the transaction;
• purchase by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by such broker-dealer for its own account; or
• any combination of the foregoing.
The sale price to the public may be:
• the market price prevailing at the time of sale;
• a price related to such prevailing market price;
• a negotiated or fixed price; or
• such other price as the selling shareholders determine from time to time.
The selling shareholders have the sole and absolute discretion not to accept any purchase offer or make any sale of shares if they deem the purchase price to be unsatisfactory at the time.
In addition, any shares that qualify for sale under Rule 144 may be sold in accordance with Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus.
The selling shareholders may also sell the shares directly to market makers acting as principal and/or broker-dealers acting as agents for themselves or their customers. Such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling shareholders and/or the purchasers of shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agents or to whom they sell as principal or both, which compensation as to a particular broker- dealer might be in excess of customary commissions. Market makers and block purchasers purchasing the shares will do so for their own account and at their own risk. It is possible that a selling shareholder will attempt to sell shares of common stock in block transactions to market makers or other purchasers at a price per share which may be below the then market price. The selling shareholders cannot assure that all or any of the shares offered in this prospectus will be issued to, or sold by, the selling shareholders.
As disclosed in the Selling Shareholders table, one of the selling shareholders is a broker-dealer, and other selling shareholders are affiliated with broker- dealers. Any selling shareholder who is a broker-dealer will be considered an underwriter, as that term is defined in the Securities Act of 1933, with respect to the sale of any shares offered in this Prospectus, and other selling shareholders may also be considered underwriters. Any selling shareholder who is considered an underwriter will be subject to SEC and NASD rules and regulations on the sale of their shares, to the extent applicable, and any commissions and
12
profits received by them on the sale of their shares may be treated as underwriter’s compensation under such rules and regulations. The selling shareholders are primarily responsible for paying the expenses incident to the offering and sale of the shares to the public. We are paying all costs incident to the registration of these shares, such as registration fees, filing, printing expenses and other expenses of complying with the state securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdiction in which the shares are to be registered or qualified.
The selling shareholders may sell all or any part of the shares offered in this prospectus through an underwriter. No selling shareholder has entered into any agreement with a prospective underwriter and there is no assurance that any such agreement will be entered into. If a selling shareholder enters into such an agreement or agreements, the relevant details will be set forth in a supplement or amendment to this prospectus.
In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the shares must be sold in such jurisdiction only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states the shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.
The selling shareholders and any other persons participating in the sale or distribution of the shares will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations under such Act, including, without limitation, the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M. These provisions may restrict certain activities of, and limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares by, the selling shareholders or any other such person. Furthermore, under Regulation M, persons engaged in a distribution of securities are prohibited from simultaneously engaging in market making and certain other activities with respect to such securities for specified period of time prior to the commencement of such distributions, subject to specified exceptions or exemptions. All of these limitations may affect marketability of the shares.
We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling shareholders, and we have informed them of the need to deliver copies of this prospectus to purchasers at or prior to the time of any sale of the shares offered by this prospectus. To the extent required, this prospectus may be amended and supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution.
We may suspend the use of this prospectus, in the event that there is a material, or potentially material, development involving MCT, or there is an occurrence of an event that renders the information in this prospectus misleading, incomplete or untrue.

DESCRIPTION OF OUR CAPITAL STOCK
Our authorized capital stock consists of 55,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share.
Common Stock
As of April 1, 2006, there were issued and outstanding 27,215,361 shares of common stock held by 314 stockholders of record. Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted upon by the stockholders and to receive any dividends that the board of directors declares out of available funds. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the company, holders of common stock have the right to a ratable portion of the assets remaining after payment of liabilities and liquidation preferences of any outstanding shares of preferred stock. Holders of common stock do not have cumulative voting, preemptive, redemption or conversion rights. All outstanding shares of common stock are, and the shares to be sold pursuant to this prospectus will be, fully paid and non-assessable.
Preferred Stock
The board of directors is authorized to issue shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the voting powers, designations, preferences and other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions of each series, without any further vote or action of the stockholders. The issuance of any preferred stock could dilute the voting power or otherwise adversely affect the rights of the common stock. The issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of acting as an anti-takeover device to delay or prevent a change in control of the company. There are no shares of preferred stock currently outstanding and the company has no present plans to issue preferred stock.
Potential Anti-Takeover Effects of Minnesota Law
Section 671 of the Business Corporation Law of the State of Minnesota applies, with certain exceptions, to any acquisitions of our voting stock from a person other than us, and other than in connection with certain mergers and exchanges to which we are a party, resulting in the beneficial ownership change of 20% or more of the voting stock then outstanding.
Section 671 requires approval of the granting of voting rights for the shares received pursuant to any such acquisitions by a majority of our shareholders. In general, shares acquired without this approval are denied voting rights and can be called for redemption at their then fair market value by us within 30 days after the acquiring person has failed to deliver a timely information statement to us or the date the shareholders voted not to grant voting rights to the acquiring person’s shares.
Section 673 of the Minnesota Business Corporation Law generally prohibits any business combination by us, or any subsidiary of us, with any shareholder that purchases 10% or more of our voting shares (an “interested shareholder”), within the four years following the interested shareholder’s share acquisition date, unless the business combination is approved by a committee of disinterested members of our board of directors before the interested shareholder’s share acquisition date.
Section 675 of the Minnesota Business Corporation Law generally prohibits an offeror from acquiring shares of a publicly held Minnesota corporation within two years following the offeror’s last purchase of the corporation’s shares pursuant to a takeover with respect to that class, unless the corporation’s shareholders are able to sell their shares to the offeror upon substantially equivalent terms as those provided in the earlier takeover offer. This statute will not apply if the acquisition of shares is approved by a committee of disinterested members of our board of directors before the purchase of any shares by the offeror pursuant to a takeover offer.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The transfer agent and registrar of our common stock is Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, N.A.
The validity of the shares of common stock offered by this prospectus has been passed upon for us by Best & Flanagan LLP, Minneapolis, Minnesota.

WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION
We are currently subject to the information requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As a result, we are required to file periodic reports and other information with the SEC, such as annual, quarterly and current reports and proxy statements. You may inspect and copy the reports, proxy statements and other documents we file with the SEC, at prescribed rates, at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at the following address:

We have filed registration statements on Form S-1 and S-2 with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, with respect to the shares of common stock offered by this prospectus. This prospectus, which constitutes part of the registration statement, does not contain all of the information set forth in the registration statements, parts of which are omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. For further information with respect to us and the common stock offered by this prospectus, we refer you to the registration statements, and all amendments, exhibits, annexes and schedules thereto and all documents incorporated by reference therein.
15
We intend to furnish our shareholders with annual reports containing financial statements audited by an independent auditor, and to make available quarterly reports containing unaudited financial information for the first three quarters of each fiscal year.
Minnesota law and our Articles of Incorporation eliminate or limit certain liabilities of our directors. Minnesota law and our Bylaws require us to indemnify our directors, officers and employees in certain instances. Insofar as exculpation of, or indemnification for, liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling MCT pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such exculpation or indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable.

ITEM 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 302A.521 of Minnesota Statutes requires the Registrant to indemnify a person made or threatened to be made a party to a proceeding by reason of the former or present official capacity of the person with respect to the Registrant, against judgments, penalties, fines, including reasonable expenses, if such person (1) has not been indemnified by another organization or employee benefit plan for the same judgments, penalties, fines, including, without limitation, excise taxes assessed against the person with respect to an employee benefit plan, settlements, and reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding with respect to the same acts or omissions; (2) acted in good faith; (3) received no improper personal benefit, and statutory procedure has been followed in the case of any conflict of interest by a director; (4) in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful; and (5) in the case of acts or omissions occurring in the person’s performance in the official capacity of director or, for a person not a director, in the official capacity of officer, committee member or employee, reasonably believed that the conduct was in the best interests of the Registrant, or, in the case of performance by a director, officer or employee of the Registrant as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another organization or employee benefit plan, reasonably believed that the conduct was not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant. In addition, Section 302A.521, subd. 3, requires payment by the Registrant, upon written request, of reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition in certain instances. A decision as to required indemnification is made by a disinterested majority of the Board of Directors present at a meeting at which a disinterested quorum is present, or by a designated committee of the Board, by special legal counsel, by the shareholders or by a court. The Registrant’s Bylaws provide for indemnification of officers, directors, employees, and agents to the fullest extent provided by Section 302A.521. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions referenced in ITEM 15 of this Registration Statement or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered hereunder, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
We maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, including a reimbursement policy in favor of the Registrant.
The agreement that we have with our selling shareholders provides that our directors, officers, and controlling person will be indemnified by the selling shareholders against certain civil liabilities that they may incur under the Securities Act in connection with this registration statement and the related prospectus.
II-1
ITEM 15. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
In the three years preceding the filing of this registration statement, the Company has engaged in the following unregistered sales of equity securities:
(a) On January 9, 2003, the Company issued to Silicon Valley Bank, in connection with a lending transaction, a warrant to purchase 30,000 shares of common stock at $.46 per share.
(b) On March 9, 2004, the Company completed a $5 million financing transaction with an institutional lender, Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. (“Laurus”). The financing included a $3 million working capital line of credit and a $2 million long-term note. The notes were partially convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock. In connection with this transaction, the Company also issued to Laurus a 7-year warrant to purchase 400,000 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $2.30 to $2.88 per share.
(c) On January 28, 2005, in connection with an amendment to the financing with Laurus, the Company issued to Laurus a 7-year warrant to purchase 150,000 shares of common stock at $0.67 per share.
(d) On April 29, 2005, the Company borrowed an additional $2.5 million from Laurus, which was convertible into shares of common stock. The Company also issued to Laurus an additional option to purchase 2,556,651 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $.01 per share.
(e) On February 17, 2006, the financing with Laurus was restructured to eliminate the right to convert the outstanding notes to common stock. The Company also issued to Laurus a 10-year option to purchase 2,500,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $.01 per share.
The Company has outstanding a class of 10% Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes. The Company has issued shares of common stock upon conversion of these notes, and shares of common stock in lieu of interest due on these notes, to certain of the noteholders.
Each of the issuances listed above was exempt from registration under Rule 506 of the Securities and Exchange Commission, because the purchasers were accredited investors, there was no general solicitation or advertising by the Company, and the securities are subject to restrictions on transfers.

ITEM 17. Undertakings
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes, in accordance with Item 512 of Regulation S-K:
(a) (1) to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: (i) to include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change to the information in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of the securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; (iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof;
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering;
II-3
(b) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and
(e) To deliver or cause to be delivered with the prospectus, to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest annual report to security holders that is incorporated by reference in the prospectus and furnished pursuant to and meeting the requirements of Rule 14a-3 and Rule 14c-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and, where interim financial information required to be presented by Article 3 of Regulation S-X is not set forth in the prospectus, to deliver, or cause to be delivered to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest quarterly report that is specifically incorporated by reference in the prospectus to provide such interim financial information.
(h) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
