The exact text from latest registration statement... RISKS RELATED TO THE OFFERING SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE. Of the 15,652,790 shares of the Company's common stock outstanding prior to the exercise of any Series A Warrants, 1,808,506 shares are freely tradeable or are eligible to be sold in the public market, and the 950,000 shares of Common Stock underlying the Series A Warrants will also be freely tradeable immediately upon issuance. All the remaining shares of Common Stock presently outstanding are restricted and/or affiliate securities which are not presently, but may in the future be sold into any public market that may exist for the Common Stock, pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Future sales by current shareholders of substantial amounts of this common stock into the public market could depress the market prices of the Common Stock in any such market. See "Shares Eligible for Future Sale". POTENTIAL ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL COMMON AND PREFERRED STOCK. The Company is authorized to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock. To the extent of such authorization, the Board of Directors of the Company will have the ability, without seeking shareholder approval, to issue additional shares of Common Stock in the future for such consideration as the Board of Directors may consider sufficient. The issuance of additional Common Stock in the future will reduce the proportionate ownership and voting power of the Common Stock offered hereby. The Company is also authorized to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, the rights and preferences of which may be designated in series by the Board of Directors. To the extent of such authorization, such designations may be made without shareholder approval. The Board of Directors has designated one series of Preferred Stock (Series A) and issued 209,207 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The designation and issuance of series of preferred stock creates additional securities which have dividend and liquidation preferences over the Common Stock offered hereby.
