Material Changes
The primary material change is the creation of a direct financial obligation of $1,000,000 under a Bridge Note Purchase Agreement dated March 20, 2006. This represents the second tranche of funding under the agreement.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
Management Commentary: The filing confirms compliance with the Bridge Note Purchase Agreement by issuing the second note as required.
Risks and Contingencies: The Note contains an acceleration clause. In the event of a default, the entire principal and accrued interest become immediately due and payable. The obligation is also contingent on the occurrence of a "Qualified Financing" or "Sale Event," which would trigger early repayment.
Key Facts for Investor Verification
- Verify the total outstanding principal under the Bridge Note Purchase Agreement, as this filing covers only the second of three notes.
- Confirm the definitions of "Qualified Financing" and "Sale Event" in the March 20, 2006 Purchase Agreement to assess potential early repayment triggers.
- Review the company's current cash position to evaluate its ability to service the 8% interest and principal repayment by April 2008.
- Check for any subsequent filings regarding the third note or any defaults under the agreement.
