At the initial closing on August 18, 2006, investments totaling $1.5 million were completed. The investments consisted of (a) $750,000 for the purchase of 25,000,000 convertible preferred shares issued by the Company to the investors at a price of $0.03 per share, and (b) $750,000 as the principal of a convertible loan, $625,000 of which was previously provided to the Company by certain of the investors under the terms of a bridge loan in an advance of the convertible loan received prior to the initial closing. The investors also received warrants to purchase 18,750,000 of the Company's convertible preferred shares at an exercise price of $0.04 per share, exercisable until August 18, 2011.

Until February 18, 2008, the investors will also have the right, at their election, to purchase up to an additional $2.25 million of the Company's convertible preferred shares at a price of $0.03 per share. To the extent they elect to purchase these additional shares, the investors would also receive additional warrants to purchase up to 56,250,000 convertible preferred shares at an exercise price of $0.04 per share exercisable for a period of five years from date of issuance.

The convertible preferred shares are convertible, at the discretion of the holder, into the Company's ordinary shares and vote together with the ordinary shares as a single class on an as-converted basis. Additionally, holders of the convertible preferred shares are entitled to nominate a majority of the Company's board of directors and have priority voting rights over significant corporate actions.

The convertible loan may be converted, at the election of the holder, into convertible preferred shares of the Company at a conversion price of $0.03 per share. The convertible loan bears interest at a rate of 8% per annum, and if not converted into convertible preferred shares, will be due and payable on September 17, 2009.
