Item 5.02.  Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
 
On September 30, 2008, Lowell E. Faulkenberry resigned as a member of our Board of Directors.

On October 2, 2008, Arthur S. Reynolds was elected to our Board of Directors to fill the vacancy created by Mr. Faulkenberry’s resignation. Like Mr. Faulkenberry, Mr. Reynolds will serve in the class of directors whose term expires at our 2009 Annual Meeting. Upon his election, Mr. Reynolds was appointed Chair of the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Reynolds is independent in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and all applicable markets and stock price quotation services relevant to us and that he is an audit committee financial expert (as such term is defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission).

Mr. Reynolds, who is 65 years old, is the founder of Rexon Limited of London and New York where, since 1999, he has served as managing director. Mr. Reynolds was founder, co-owner and managing partner of London-based Value Management & Research (UK) Limited from 1997 to 1999. Mr. Reynolds was the founder and, from 1982 to 1997, served as managing director of Ferghana Financial Services Limited. Prior thereto, Mr. Reynolds held executive positions at Merrill Lynch International Bank Limited, Banque de la Société Financière Européene, J.P. Morgan & Company and Mobil Corporation. Mr. Reynolds is a director of Apogee Technology, Inc.

Upon his election to our Board of Directors, Mr. Reynolds was granted an option, under our 2008 Incentive Stock Plan, to purchase 30,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.55 per share (the closing price of our common stock on the over-the-counter bulletin board on October 1, 2008). This option will vest and become exercisable on the date of our 2009 Annual Meeting, assuming Mr. Reynolds continues to serve as a member of our Board of Directors through such date.
