Item 3.    Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

         Funds for the purchase of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock and the
Warrants (each as defined below) related to the shares of Common Stock reported
herein were derived from the



available capital of Capital Focus III. A total of approximately $10,000,000 was
paid to acquire the Series B-1 Preferred Stock and the Warrants.

ITEM 4  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

         The Reporting Persons acquired the shares of Common Stock for
investment in the ordinary course of business because they believed that the
shares of Common Stock, when purchased, represented an attractive investment
opportunity based on the Issuer's prospects and strategy.

         On May 15, 2006, Capital Focus III entered into a Securities Purchase
Agreement (the "SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT"), attached hereto as Exhibit 2
and incorporated herein by reference pursuant to which the Issuer authorized a
new series of convertible preferred stock designated as Series B-1 Convertible
Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 (the "SERIES B-1 PREFERRED STOCK") pursuant to
a Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series B-1 Preferred
Stock (the "SERIES B-1 CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS"), in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit 3 and incorporated herein by reference, and warrants (the
"WARRANTS", together with the Series B-1 Preferred Stock, the "SECURITIES"), in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit 4 and incorporated herein by reference. The
Series B-1 Preferred Stock has a stated value of $1,000 per share (the
"PREFERRED STATED VALUE") and is initially convertible into shares of Common
Stock at an initial conversion price of $ 1.5338 (subject to adjustment as
provided in the Series B-1 Certificate of Designations, the "PREFERRED
CONVERSION PRICE"). The Warrants are exercisable for a period of five years at
an initial exercise price of $1.639 per share (subject to adjustment as provided
in the Warrants). Accordingly, on May 26, 2006 at the closing of the Securities
Purchase Agreement, 10,000 shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock that are
initially convertible into 6,519,755 shares of Common Stock and Warrants
initially exercisable into 2,281,914 shares of Common Stock were issued to
Capital Focus III for a gross purchase price of $10 million (the "TRANSACTION").

         On May 15, 2006, the Issuer and Capital Focus III entered into a
Registration Rights Agreement (the "REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT"), which is
attached hereto as Exhibit 5 and incorporated herein by reference, pursuant to
which the Issuer agreed to provide certain registration rights with respect to
the securities issued under the Securities Purchase Agreement, including the
obligation of the Issuer to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "SEC"), as soon as practicable after the closing date of the Transaction,
but in no event later than 60 calendar days after a request is made by the
Required Holders (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) which request
may be made any time after the earlier of (x) December 31, 2006 and (y) such
time after the date of the Registration Rights Agreement that the Company is
eligible to file a Registration Statement thereunder on Form S-3, a Registration
Statement on Form S-3 covering the resale of all Registrable Securities (as
defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) of Capital Focus III.

         Under the Series B-1 Certificate of Designations, so long as Capital
Focus III or any of its affiliates continues to hold at least twenty five
percent of the cumulative aggregate number of Series B-1 Preferred Stock issued
to the Capital Focus III on the Initial Issuance Date (as defined in the Series
B-1 Certificate of Designations), Capital Focus III is entitled to elect one
director to the Board of Directors of the Issuer (an "INVESTOR DESIGNEE") at
each annual election of directors; provided, however, that any Investor Designee
other than Richard J. Miller ("MILLER") must be



approved by the Company, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. Miller initially is serving as the Investor Designee.

         The Reporting Persons intend to continue to review and evaluate their
investment in the Issuer. Depending on the price and availability of funds,
subsequent developments affecting the Issuer, the Issuer's business, other
investment and business opportunities available to the Reporting Persons and
general stock market, economic and other factors that the Reporting Persons may
deem relevant from time to time, the Reporting Persons may maintain their
investment at current levels or sell all or a part of their investment, or
acquire additional shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer at
any time. Any acquisition or disposition of shares of Common Stock by the
Reporting Persons may be effected through open market or privately negotiated
transactions, or otherwise.

         Except to the extent set forth above, or in any other Item hereof, the
Reporting Persons do not have any present plans or proposals that relate to or
would result in any of the actions required to be described in Item 4 of this
Schedule 13D. However, the Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to
time, review or reconsider their position with respect to the Issuer, and
formulate (and modify) plans or proposals with respect to any such matters. At
the request of the Issuer, the Reporting Persons may provide additional
assistance to the Issuer in the development of its business and business plan.
