Supplement No. 1 dated August 15, 2005 To Prospectus dated January 28,
2005
You
should read this prospectus supplement No. 1 dated August 15, 2005 (“prospectus
supplement”) in connection with the accompanying prospectus dated January 28,
2005 (“prospectus”). The purpose of this prospectus supplement primarily is to
reflect a reduction in the exercise price of certain of our warrants and related
matters. This prospectus supplement is qualified by reference to the prospectus,
except to the extent the information in this prospectus supplement supersedes
the information contained in the accompanying prospectus.
PROSPECTUS
SUMMARY
The
section of the prospectus titled “PROSPECTUS
SUMMARY”
is
amended to insert a new subsection titled “Recent
Developments”
immediately before the last paragraph of the subsection titled “The Company” and
to revise that last paragraph to delete the last two sentences of that paragraph
and to replace them with the following:
Our
participation in the joint venture depended on our ability to contribute cash
in
the amount of $1.5 million. Pursuant to the letter agreement, as of August
14,
2005, we have advanced $405,000 to Xact Resources. See “THE COMPANY.” As a
result of the exercise of a number of our outstanding warrants described later
in this prospectus supplement, on August 15, 2005, we completed the funding
of
our $1.5 million capital contribution for the joint venture and formed a limited
liability company with Xact Resources named BioAgra, LLC.
THE
COMPANY
The
section of the prospectus titled “THE
COMPANY”
is
amended to revise the second paragraph of the subsection titled “Current
Developments”
to
delete the sixth, seventh and eighth sentences of that paragraph and to replace
them with the following:
Our
participation in the joint venture depended on our ability to contribute cash
in
the amount of $1.5 million. Pursuant to the letter agreement, as of August
14,
2005 we have advanced $405,000 to Xact Resources. See “THE COMPANY.” As a result
of the exercise of a number of our outstanding warrants described below, on
August 15, 2005, we completed the funding of our $1.5 million capital
contribution for the joint venture and formed a limited liability company with
Xact Resources named BioAgra, LLC. The investment in BioAgra, LLC was made
from
the proceeds we received from the exercise of a number of our outstanding
warrants that were recently re-priced by us as described herein under “SELLING
STOCKHOLDERS.”
USE
OF PROCEEDS
The
section of the prospectus titled “USE OF PROCEEDS” is amended to delete the
reference to “8,455,000” in the last paragraph of that section and to replace it
with “$4,470,000.”
SELLING
STOCKHOLDERS
The
section of the prospectus titled “SELLING STOCKHOLDERS” is amended as
follows:
1.
The
subsection titled “Background” is amended to revise the second and third
paragraphs as indicated in italics
below:
On
November 16, 2004, we voluntarily reduced the exercise price of the $0.25
investor warrants to $0.15 per share (the “$0.15 investor warrants”).
On
August 12, 2005, we voluntarily reduced the exercise price of the $0.15 warrants
issued to Platinum Partners Value Arbitrage Fund LP, Peekskill, LLC, M/S Family
Foundation, Jules Nordlicht and Laura Huberfeld / Naomi Bodner Partnership
(each
named as selling stockholders below under “—Selling Stockholders Table”) to
$0.05 per share (the “$.05 re-priced investor warrants”). On August 12, 2005, we
also voluntarily reduced the exercise price of the $0.10 warrants issued to
Platinum Partners Value Arbitrage Fund LP, Peekskill, LLC, M/S Family
Foundation, Jules Nordlicht and Laura Huberfeld / Naomi Bodner Partnership
and
the $0.10 investor warrants that were previously assigned to Arizcan Properties,
Ltd. (each named as selling stockholders below under “—Selling Stockholders
Table”) to $0.05 per share (also the “$.05 re-priced investor
warrants”).
All of
the these warrants will expire on January 20, 2009 unless exercised earlier.
Pursuant
to the securities purchase agreement between us and the first ten selling
stockholders named below under “—Selling Stockholders Table,” we are obligated
to register under the Securities Act of 1933, all the shares of our common
stock
purchased by each of these selling stockholders, as well as the shares of our
common stock that will be held by each of these stockholders assuming these
stockholders exercise all of the $0.10 investor warrants, $0.15 investor
warrants and
$0.05 re-priced investor warrants.
We are
obligated to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus forms
a
part effective until the earliest of the date on which the warrants have all
been exercised and January 20, 2009.
2.
The
subsection titled “Selling Stockholders Table” is amended to revise certain of
the footnotes as indicated in italics
below.
This revised information does not add any selling stockholders or change the
number of shares subject to the prospectus. Footnotes that are not listed below
remain unchanged.

re-priced investor warrants (that were
$0.15
investor warrants)
purchased by the named selling stockholder as part of the 20,000,000 units
we
sold to a number of accredited investors as described under “PLAN OF
DISTRIBUTION—Private Placement” and the remaining $0.05
re-priced investor warrants (that
were
$0.10
investor warrants)
were not
exercised by such selling stockholder as a result of the grant of the option
to
exercise these $0.05
re-priced investor warrants (that were

investor warrants)
by each
named selling stockholder to Arizcan Properties, Ltd. See footnote 19 to this
table.
(3b)

investor warrants purchased by the named selling stockholder as part of the

“PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION—Private Placement.” Assumes the remaining 2,200,000
$0.05

purchased by the named selling stockholder were not exercised by such selling
stockholder as a result of the grant of the option to exercise such $0.05
re-priced investor warrants (that were
$0.10
investor warrants)
by such
selling stockholder to Arizcan Properties, Ltd. See footnote 19 to this
table.
(19)
As
disclosed in footnotes 3a

table, the named selling stockholders granted an option to Arizcan Properties,
Ltd. to exercise $0.05
re-priced investor warrants (that were previously
$0.10

to
purchase 15,700,000 shares of our common stock initially issued as part of
the
20,000,000 units that we previously sold to a number of accredited investors
as
described under “PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION—Private Placement.” Assumes the exercise
of all $0.05
re-priced investor warrants (that were previously
$0.10
investor warrants)
previously assigned to Arizcan Properties, Ltd.
DESCRIPTION
OF COMMON STOCK
The
section of the prospectus titled “DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK” is amended to
revise the first paragraph as indicated in italics
below:
Our
authorized capital stock consists of 200,000,000 shares of common stock, $.0001
par value per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.0001 par value
per share. As of August
15, 2005
we had
133,059,033
shares
of common stock and no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding. We
have
outstanding warrants and options which, if exercised, would total 45,471,877
shares
of common stock. We have also reserved 11,919,120 shares of our common stock
in
connection with our ongoing litigation with Harvest Court, LLC described in
our
annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2004. Overall, we
would
have a total of 190,450,030
shares
of common stock issued and outstanding if all of our outstanding warrants and
options were exercised and all of our reserved shares of common stock were
issued.
PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
The
subsection titled “Private Placement” to the section of the prospectus titled
“PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION” is amended as follows. The revised information does not
change the plan of distribution as described in the prospectus.
1.
The
second paragraph up to and excluding the portion of the second paragraph
beginning with “These warrants will expire,” is revised as indicated in
italics
below:
In
January of 2004, we sold 20,000,000 units for a total of $2,000,000 to a limited
number of accredited investors in a private placement transaction exempt from
registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Regulation
D
promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933. Each unit consists
of:
|
·
|
one
share of our common stock;
|
|
·
|
a
warrant to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise
price of
$0.10 per share (the “$0.10 investor warrants”);
and
|
|
·
|
a
warrant to purchase two shares of our common stock at an exercise
price of
$0.25 per share (the “$0.25 investor
warrants”).
|
On
November 16, 2004, we voluntarily reduced the exercise price of the $0.25
investor warrants to $0.15 per share (the “$0.15 investor warrants”).
On
August 12, 2005, we voluntarily reduced the exercise price of the $0.15 warrants
issued to Platinum Partners Value Arbitrage Fund LP, Peekskill, LLC, M/S Family
Foundation, Jules Nordlicht and Laura Huberfeld / Naomi Bodner Partnership
(each
named as selling stockholders above under “—Selling Stockholders Table”) to
$0.05 per share (the “$.05 re-priced investor warrants”). On August 12, 2005, we
also voluntarily reduced the exercise price of the $0.10 warrants issued to
Platinum Partners Value Arbitrage Fund LP, Peekskill, LLC, M/S Family
Foundation, Jules Nordlicht and Laura Huberfeld / Naomi Bodner Partnership
and
the $0.10 investor warrants that were previously assigned to Arizcan Properties,
Ltd. (each named as selling stockholders above under “—Selling Stockholders
Table”) to $0.05 per share (also the “$.05 re-priced investor
warrants”).
2.
The
fourth and fifth sentences in the fifth paragraph are revised as indicated
in
italics
below:
We
are
also required to issue to Jason Lyons additional warrants to purchase a total
of
4.9999% of the total number of shares issued as a result of the exercise of
the
$0.10 investor warrants (including
the $0.05 re-priced investor warrants that were previously $0.10 investor
warrants) described
above. If all of the $0.10 investor warrants (including
the $0.05 re-priced investor warrants that were previously $0.10 investor
warrants)
are
exercised, we will be required to issue to Jason Lyons additional warrants
to
purchase 1,000,000 shares of our common stock.
3.
The
third and fourth sentences in the sixth paragraph are revised as indicated
in
italics
below:
We
are
also required to issue to GRQ Consultants additional warrants to purchase a
total of 5% of the total number of shares issued as a result of the exercise
of
the $0.10 investor warrants (including
the $0.05 re-priced investor warrants that were previously $0.10 investor
warrants)
described above. If all of the $0.10 investor warrants (including
the $0.05 re-priced investor warrants that were previously $0.10 investor
warrants)
are
exercised, we will be required to issue to GRQ Consultants additional warrants
to purchase 1,000,000 shares of our common stock.
4.
The
first sentence of the last paragraph is revised as indicated in italics
below:
If
all of
the $0.10 warrants (including the $0.05 re-priced investor warrants that
were previously $0.10 investor warrants) and $0.15 warrants (including
the $0.05 re-priced investor warrants that were previously $0.15 investor
warrants) issued or to be issued in connection with the private placement
transaction were exercised, we expect to receive an additional
$4,470,000.

reference.

The
Company
We
were
incorporated on June 22, 1996 as a Nevada corporation. Our corporate
offices are located at 370 - 17th Street, Suite 3640, Denver, Colorado
80202, and our telephone number is (303) 592-1010. We maintain a website at
www.nanopierce.com.
On
February 26, 1998, we acquired the intellectual property rights related to
our patented Particle Interconnect Technology (the “particle technology”) from
Particle Interconnect Corporation, a Colorado corporation, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Intercell Corporation (now known as Intercell International
Corporation), a Nevada corporation that was our affiliate at the time of the
acquisition. We acquired the particle technology to pursue a more focused,
strategic application and development of the particle technology. We have
designated and are commercializing our particle technology as NCSTM.
Since
our acquisition of the particle technology, we have focused on providing the
electronics industry with possible solutions to their “connection”
problems.
On
October 1, 2004, we signed a letter agreement (the “letter agreement”) with Xact
Resources International, Inc. to provide for the development of a joint venture
between the company and Xact Resources International. The purpose of the joint
venture would be to produce, market and sell YBG-2000, a biotech yeast beta
glucan product which has been developed by Xact Resources. Our participation
in
the joint venture depends on our ability to contribute cash in the amount of
$1.5 million and we cannot assure you that we will be successful in raising
the
necessary capital. Pursuant to the letter agreement we have advanced $225,000
to
Xact Resources. See “THE COMPANY.”

When
deciding whether or not to purchase our common stock offered by this prospectus,
you should carefully consider the risks described below.
We
may not be able to complete the contemplated joint venture with Xact Resources
International
On
October 1, 2004 we entered into a letter agreement to form a joint venture
with
Xact Resources International described under “THE COMPANY.” The forming of the
joint venture is contingent upon our ability to make a $1.5 million investment
in the joint venture in order to retain a 50% equity interest in the joint
venture. If we cannot secure the additional $1.5 million in financing we will
not be able to participate in the contemplated joint venture. Pursuant to the
letter agreement, we have advanced Xact Resources $225,000.
We
have a history of losses
Developing
our particle technology and products has been and we expect will continue to
be
expensive. We recently have incurred increased operating expenses without a
corresponding increase in revenues. We reported a net loss of $1,558,083,
$4,017,785 and $4,729,072 for our fiscal years ended June 30, 2004, 2003
and 2002, respectively and a net loss of $206,626 for the three-month period
ended September 30, 2004. In addition, we decreased the value of our
intellectual property on our financial statements by $608,061 and $210,000
for
our fiscal years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
We
may not be able to continue as a going concern
Our
independent auditors’ report on our financial statements as of June 30,
2004 includes an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our
ability to continue as a going concern. As a result of this going concern
modification in our auditors’ report on our consolidated financial statements,
we may have a difficult time obtaining significant additional financing. If
we
are unable to secure significant additional financing, we may be obligated
to
seek protection under the bankruptcy laws and our shareholders may lose their
investment.
We
do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future
We
have
never paid cash dividends on our common stock. We do not expect to pay cash
dividends on our common stock at any time in the foreseeable future. The future
payment of dividends directly depends upon our future earnings, capital
requirements, financial requirements and other factors that our board of
directors will consider. Since we do not anticipate paying cash dividends on
our
common stock, return on your investment, if any, will depend solely on an
increase, if any, in the market value of our common stock.
This
offering and the sale of securities by current stockholders could cause dilution
of existing holders of our common stock by decreasing the price of our common
stock
The
market price of our common stock could be adversely affected by sales of
substantial amounts of common stock in the public market after this offering,
by
the perception that those types of sales could occur or by the fact or
perception of events which would have a dilutive effect on the market for our
common stock. As of January 27, 2005, we had 91,259,033 shares of our common
stock outstanding, including shares of our common stock issued as described
under “THE COMPANY.” If all of our outstanding options and warrants were
exercised and all of our reserved shares of common stock were issued, we could
have up to 179,360,030 shares of common stock outstanding. Future transactions
with other investors could further depress the price of our common stock because
of additional dilution. See “DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK.”
Our
articles of incorporation may limit our ability to sell additional shares of
our
common stock in the future
We
are
authorized to issue up to 200,000,000 shares of our common stock. Overall,
we
would have a total of 179,360,030 shares of common stock issued and outstanding
if all of our outstanding warrants and options were exercised and all of our
reserved shares of common stock were issued. Unless we amend our articles of
incorporation, our ability to issue additional shares of our common stock or
securities convertible into our common stock is limited.
Common
stock price could be effected by the ability of holders of our common stock
to
sell their stock
The
market price of our common stock will be influenced by the ability of common
stockholders to sell their stock. As of January 27, 2005, approximately
57,401,305 shares of our common stock were freely transferable and constitute
the “float” in the public market for our common stock. If all of our outstanding
options and warrants were exercised and all of our reserved shares were issued,
the “float” for our common stock could increase to a total of 138,263,949
shares. As of January 27, 2005, approximately 33,851,728 shares of our common
stock were “restricted” or “control” securities within the meaning of Rule 144
under the Securities Act of 1933. These restricted securities cannot be sold
unless they are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, or unless an
exemption from registration is otherwise available, including the exemption
that
is contained in Rule 144. If all of our outstanding options and warrants
were exercised and all of our reserved shares were issued, the number of
“restricted” or “control” shares of our common stock could increase to a total
of 41,096,081 shares.
We
could issue preferred stock that could adversely effect the rights of our common
stockholders
We
are
authorized to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of our preferred stock, $.0001 par
value per share. Our articles of incorporation gives our board of directors
the
authority to issue preferred stock without approval of our common stockholders.
We may issue preferred stock to finance our operations. We may authorize the
issuance of our preferred stock in one or more series. In addition, we may
set
several of the terms of the preferred stock, including:
|
·
|
dividend
and liquidation preferences,
|
|
·
|
other
privileges and rights of the shares of each authorized
series.
|
The
issuance of large blocks of preferred stock could have a dilutive effect on
our
existing shareholders and it can negatively impact our existing stockholders’
liquidation preferences. In addition, while we include preferred stock in our
capitalization to improve our financial flexibility, we could possibly issue
our
preferred stock to third parties as a method of discouraging, delaying or
preventing a change in control in our present management.
The
resale of our common stock by you may be limited because of its low price which
could make it more difficult for broker/dealers to sell our common
stock
The
Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990 requires additional
disclosure relating to the market for penny stocks in connection with trades
in
any stock defined as a penny stock. Regulations enacted by the SEC generally
define a penny stock as an equity security that has a market price of less
than
$5.00 per share, subject to some exceptions. Unless an exception applies, a
disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated
with investing in penny stocks must be delivered before any transaction in
penny
stock can occur.
Our
common stock is not a reported security and is currently subject to the
Securities and Exchange Commission's "penny stock" rules and it is anticipated
that trading in our common stock will continue to be subject to the penny stock
rules for the foreseeable future.
Until
such time as our common stock meets an exception to the penny stock regulations
cited above, trading in our securities is covered by Rule 15g-9 promulgated
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under this rule, broker/dealers
who
recommend penny stocks to persons that are not established customers or
accredited investors must make a special determination in writing for the
purchaser that the investment is suitable, and must also obtain the purchaser’s
written agreement to a transaction before the sale.
The
regulations could limit the ability of broker/dealers to sell our securities
and
thus the ability of purchasers of our securities to sell their securities in
the
secondary market for so long as our common stock has a market price of less
than
$5.00 per share.
Our
revenues depend on our ability to license companies to apply our particle
technology to products that they bring to the marketplace which we have been
unable to accomplish to date
We
do not
anticipate generating significant revenues until we are able to license
companies to apply our particle technology to products that are brought to
the
marketplace. To date, we have not successfully licensed companies to apply
our
particle technology to products that are brought to the marketplace. Even if
we
are successful and products utilizing our particle technology are brought to
the
marketplace, we may still not generate enough revenue to offset our operating
costs.
We
do not
have licensing relationships with manufacturers to develop and market products
using our particle technology in place, and if we are unable to secure these
agreements, we believe that we may not become profitable in the
future.
We
believe that our long-term profitability and growth depends on entering into
licensing or joint venture relationships with various manufacturers to develop
and market products using the particle technology. We have not entered into
any
formal agreements to date, and even if we do enter into agreements in the
future, we cannot assure you that the agreements will be
profitable.
Consumers
may use alternative technologies unless we establish a market presence with
our
particle technology
The
interconnect market is subject to rapid technology changes. New products are
introduced, old products are enhanced and others become obsolete. The entire
interconnect market may be replaced by a newer form of technology. To be
competitive, we believe that we must develop, market and sell our products
on a
timely and cost-effective basis and respond to the ever changing requirements
and demands of our customers, which in turn depends in part on our capability
to
upgrade our products and quality control procedures and to adapt to
technological changes and advances in the electronics industry.
We
cannot
assure that we will be successful in selecting, developing, and marketing new
technologies or that compatibility issues with an evolving generation of
electronic components and manufacturing equipment and errors or flaws in the
new
technologies will not prevent or delay market acceptance. Any further delay
in
bringing our particle technology to the marketplace could cause prospective
customers to use alternative technologies and could result in our inability
to
generate sufficient revenues to cover our operating costs.
We
may be unable to successfully compete in the marketplace
The
interconnect market is highly competitive. Our success will depend in part
on
how quickly competitors can design and develop competing products and
technologies. We will compete with suppliers of other interconnect technologies
including Alien Technologies, Inc., Interconnect Technologies and major
electronic technology manufacturing leaders including Philips, Siemens, Infineon
and IBM. We are disadvantaged competing against these competitors in several
different areas, including:
|
•
|
technological
resources;
|
|
•
|
manufacturing
capabilities;
|
|
•
|
diversity
of revenue sources and business
opportunities;
|
|
•
|
personnel
and human resources; and
|
|
•
|
research
and development capabilities.
|
Our
larger competitors have long term advantages over us in research and new product
development and have a greater ability to withstand periodic downturns in the
interconnect market because they have diverse product lines that can provide
revenue even when there is a downturn in the interconnect market.
We
cannot guarantee the quality, performance or reliability of our products
We
have
no prior experience in taking technology to the manufacturing or production
stage. We plan to have licensees or co-joint venturers manufacture products
using the particle technology. We expect that the customers of these products
will demand quality, performance and reliability. We cannot assure you that
our
future licensees or co-joint venturers will be able to meet the quality control
standards that may be established by equipment manufacturers and other customers
of products utilizing the particle technology.
There
may be insufficient demand for our particle technology
We
must
convince our potential customers that the particle technology is technologically
sound and can be manufactured efficiently and cost-effectively before connector
manufacturers and electronic equipment manufacturers will be willing to use
our
technology. To create this consumer demand, we have to successfully market
and
sell our technology. Even after these efforts, our particle technology may
not
be viewed by consumers as an improvement over existing technologies and may
not
achieve commercial acceptance.
We
may be unable to meet our ongoing needs for additional
capital
We
cannot
accurately predict how much funding we will need to implement our strategic
business plan or to continue operations. Our future capital requirements, the
likelihood that we can obtain money and the terms of any financing will be
influenced by many different factors, including:
|
•
|
the
status of competing products in the
marketplace,
|
|
•
|
our
performance in the marketplace,
|
|
•
|
our
overall financial condition,
|
|
•
|
our
business prospects,
|
|
•
|
the
perception of our growth potential by the public, including potential
lenders,
|
|
•
|
our
ability to enter into joint venture or licensing relationships to
achieve
a market presence and
|
|
•
|
our
progress in developing, marketing and selling the particle
technology.
|
If
we
cannot obtain adequate financing or if the terms on which we are able to acquire
financing are unfavorable, our business and financial condition could be
negatively affected. We may have to delay, scale back or eliminate some or
all
of our development and marketing programs, if any. We may also have to go to
third parties to seek financing, and in exchange, we may have to give up rights
to some of our technologies, patents, patent applications, potential products
or
other assets.
We
may be unable to hire and retain key personnel
Our
future success depends on our ability to attract qualified technical personnel
capable of working with our technology. We may be unable to attract these
necessary personnel. If we fail to attract or retain skilled employees, or
if a
key employee fails to perform in his or her current position, we may be unable
to bring our particle technology to the marketplace and to generate sufficient
revenues to offset our operating costs.
We
may be unable to obtain and retain appropriate patent, copyright and trademark
protection of our products
We
protect our intellectual property rights through patents, trademarks, trade
names, trade secrets and a variety of other measures. However, these measures
may be inadequate to protect our intellectual property or other proprietary
information.
• Trade
secrets may become known by third parties.
Our
trade secrets or proprietary technology may become known or be independently
developed by competitors.
• Rights
to patents and trade secrets may be invalidated.
Disputes may arise with third parties over the ownership of our intellectual
property rights. Our patents may be invalidated, circumvented or challenged,
and
the rights granted under those patents that provide us with a competitive
advantage may be nullified.
• Problems
with future patent applications.
Our
pending or future patent applications may not be approved, or the scope of
the
granted patent may be less than the coverage sought.
• Infringement
claims by third parties.
Infringement, invalidity, right to use or ownership claims by third parties
or
claims for indemnification may be asserted by third parties in the future.
If
any claims or actions are asserted against us, we can attempt to obtain a
license for that third party’s intellectual property rights. However, the third
party may not provide a license under reasonable terms, or may not provide
us
with a license at all.
• Third
parties may develop similar products.
Competitors may develop similar products, duplicate our products or may design
around the patents that are owned by us.
• Laws
in other countries may insufficiently protect intellectual property rights
abroad.
Foreign
intellectual property laws may not adequately protect our intellectual property
rights abroad. Our failure to protect these rights could adversely affect our
business and financial condition.
• Litigation
may be required to protect intellectual property rights.
Litigation may be necessary to protect our intellectual property rights and
trade secrets, to determine the validity of and scope of the rights of third
parties or to defend against claims of infringement or invalidity by third
parties. This litigation could be expensive, would divert resources and
management’s time from our sales and marketing efforts, and could have a
materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results
of
operations and on our ability to enter into joint ventures or partnerships
with
others.
License
rights to particle technology may limit our ability to
compete
Before
we
acquired the patents, patent applications and licenses from the original owners
of the particle technology, the inventor of the particle technology granted
five
companies exclusive and non-exclusive licenses to use the patents and patent
applications relating to the particle technology. At this time, only two of
the
original five licensees are using our technology and none of these licenses
relate to either smart card or smart label technology. A non-exclusive, two
year
license was also granted to the inventor of the particle technology in October
2002 in connection with the settlement of certain litigation with the inventor.
These licenses restrict us as follows:
• Exclusive
licenses prevent us from competing against the exclusive
licenses.
We
cannot compete in the fields in which exclusive licenses have been granted.
An
exclusive license was granted in the field of sockets for use in the automated
handling and testing of integrated circuits, a type of semiconductor in which
a
number of transistors and other elements are combined to form a more complicated
circuit.
• Non-exclusive
licenses allow licensees to compete against us in certain
areas.
The
licensees with non-exclusive licenses can compete directly with us or our other
future licensees. Non-exclusive licenses have been granted to use the particle
technology for electrically conductive components, laminate-based and
metal-based products and semiconductor products. If the present licensees decide
to compete with us or our future licensees, this competition could adversely
affect our business.
General
We
were
incorporated on June 22, 1996 as a Nevada corporation. Our corporate
offices are located at 370 - 17th Street, Suite 3640, Denver, Colorado
80202, and our telephone number is (303) 592-1010. We maintain a website at
www.nanopierce.com,
which
is not incorporated into and is not a part of this prospectus. This prospectus
is accompanied by a copy of our annual report on Form 10-KSB for our fiscal
year
ended June 30, 2004 and our quarterly report on Form 10-QSB for the fiscal
quarter ended September 30, 2004.
On
February 26, 1998, we acquired the intellectual property rights related to
our patented Particle Interconnect Technology (the “particle technology”) from
Particle Interconnect Corporation, a Colorado corporation, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Intercell Corporation (now known as Intercell International
Corporation), a Nevada corporation that was once our affiliate as a result
of
the acquisition. We acquired the particle technology to pursue a more focused,
strategic application and development of the particle technology.
We
have
designated and are commercializing our particle technology as the Nanopierce
Connection System (“NCSTM
”).
NCSTM
is
an
alternative method of providing temporary or permanent electrical connections
between different flexible, rigid, metallic and non-metallic surfaces. Through
the use of our particle technology, we can also attach semi-conductors directly
to various surfaces. We have trademarked this process as
WaferPierce.™
On
January 12, 2004, we entered into a placement agent agreement with Charleston
Capital Corp. (now known as Clayton Dunning & Company, Inc.) in connection
with a proposed sale of our securities to a number of “accredited investors” (as
defined in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended), in a private placement
transaction exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities
Act of 1933 and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act
of
1933.
Current
Developments
We
do not
currently plan to manufacture or develop products that utilize our particle
technology and we have no prior experience in taking technology to the
manufacturing or production stage. We expect to generate revenue by licensing
companies to apply our particle technology to products that are brought to
the
marketplace by those licensees or by entering into joint ventures with companies
that manufacture products using the particle technology. To date, we have not
successfully licensed companies to manufacture, develop and market products
using our particle technology, and we do not currently have licensing
relationships in place.
On
October 1, 2004, we signed a letter agreement with Xact Resources International,
Inc. The letter agreement provides for the development of a joint venture
between us and Xact Resources. The purpose of the joint venture would be to
produce, market and sell YBG-2000, a biotech yeast beta glucan product which
has
been developed by Xact Resources. YBG-2000 is a natural beta glucan immune
system feed supplement refined from bakers yeast. It is used to replace
antibiotic fast growth additives which are currently used by producers of feeds
for the livestock, poultry and shrimp industries. At this time, we have not
formally entered into the joint venture. Our participation in the joint venture
depends on our ability to contribute cash in the amount of $1.5 million and
we
cannot assure you that we will be successful in raising the necessary capital.
Pursuant the letter agreement, we have advanced $225,000 to Xact Resources
to
date. See “RISK FACTORS.”
During
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, we minimized our operations to conserve
funds. After the completion of the financing described below under "PLAN OF
DISTRIBUTION—Private Placement," we revised our business strategy and intend to
use the funds received or to be received from such sale to support minimal
operations while we investigate potential acquisition targets. In addition,
we
dissolved a wholly-owned subsidiary (NanoPierce Card), terminated operations
of
a wholly-owned subsidiary (NanoPierce Connection), sold a majority interest
in a
subsidiary (ExypnoTech), entered into a joint venture (Scimaxx Solutions) and
formed a new wholly-owned subsidiary (ExypnoTech, LLC), each as described
below.
1.
NanoPierce
Card Technologies, GmbH.
“NanoPierce Card” was established in January 2000 and was located in Hohenbrunn,
Germany. NanoPierce Card was responsible for the marketing of our technology,
services and products on an international basis. On April 1, 2003, NanoPierce
Card filed for insolvency with the Courts of Munich, Germany. The insolvency
was
necessary in order to comply with specific German legal requirements. In
conjunction, with the insolvency filing, management decided in April 2003 to
discontinue operations at NanoPierce Card and to liquidate NanoPierce Card,
through a self-liquidation. We completed the plan of self-liquidation and the
German court legally dissolved NanoPierce Card on June 8, 2004.
2.
Nanopierce
Connection Systems, Inc.
“Nanopierce Connection,” a Nevada corporation, was located in Colorado Springs,
Colorado, USA. Beginning business in January 2002, NanoPierce Connection was
the
center for research and development activities. In September 2003, we entered
into a joint venture with Scimaxx, LLC in order to further the marketing of
the
services previously offered by NanoPierce Connection. In return for a 50%
ownership interest in the newly created joint venture (Scimaxx Solutions
described below), we contributed a license to utilize its technology and the
facilities and equipment of NanoPierce Connections. We have no ongoing
responsibilities to make any cash contributions to the joint
venture.
3.
Exypnotech,
GmbH.
“Exypnotech” was organized in February 2002. ExypnoTech produces inlay
components used in the manufacturing of, among other things, smart labels (often
referred to as radio frequency identification tags or "RFID"). ExypnoTech,
in
addition to the inlay components, plans to manufacture and sell other types
of
RFID components. In December 2003 ExypnoTech sold a controlling 51% interest
in
ExypnoTech to TagStar Systems, GmbH for $98,000 in cash. As a result of this
sale, we do not have a controlling interest in ExypnoTech and we are only
entitled to 49% of the net income, if any, generated by ExypnoTech. ExypnoTech,
if able, will pay dividends on an annual basis. We are entitled to 49% of the
dividends, if any, paid as a result of any future profits of ExypnoTech. The
sale of the controlling interest in ExypnoTech decreased our revenues from
ExypnoTech.
4.
Scimaxx
Solutions, LLC.
On
September 15, 2003, we entered into a joint venture with Scimaxx, LLC (Dr.
Neuhaus, one of our directors is a part owner of Scimaxx, LLC). The purpose
of
the joint venture is to provide the electronics industry with technical
solutions to manufacturing problems based on the need for electrical
connectivity. We received a 50% interest in the joint venture (“Scimaxx
Solutions”) in exchange for a contribution of the equipment owned by NanoPierce
Connection. We also granted Scimaxx Solutions a ten-year, non-exclusive,
non-royalty bearing worldwide license to use our intellectual property. Scimaxx,
LLC is to invest $50,000 cash, of which $22,900 has been received as of
September 30, 2004. The terms of the joint venture provide for us to share
in
50% of joint venture net profits, if any. We are to share in 50% of joint
venture net losses beyond the first $50,000. We have a 49% voting interest
in
the joint venture.
5.
Expnotech,
LLC.
On June
18, 2004, we organized ExypnoTech, LLC as a wholly-owned subsidiary to market,
primarily in the United States of America, the RFID components manufactured
by
ExypnoTech, GmbH.
We
recognized $34,258 of revenues from continuing operations during the fiscal
year
ended June 30, 2004 compared to $37,017 in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003.
Revenues recognized by discontinued operations were $0 during the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2004 and $128,947 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003. The
revenue generated from continuing operations was from the sale of inlays by
ExypnoTech, $28,449 through December 2003, and $5,809 through services provided
by us. The results of our operations are described in more detail in our annual
report on Form 10-KSB for our fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 and our quarterly
report on Form 10-QSB for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2004, which
accompany this prospectus.
The
shares of our common stock offered by this prospectus are being registered
for
the account of the selling stockholders named in this prospectus. Therefore,
any
proceeds from the sale of our common stock will be received by the related
selling stockholders for their own account, and we will not receive any proceeds
from the sale of our common stock offered by this prospectus.
With
respect to the shares of our common stock offered by this prospectus, we
previously received $2,000,000 from the sale of units described in “THE
COMPANY.” We used a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the units to pay in
full several outstanding promissory notes, the interest rates, principal amounts
and maturity dates of which are set forth in the following table.

The
remainder of the proceeds from the sale of the units were used for general
working capital purposes. Assuming that all of the warrants that we issued
to
the selling stockholders described in “THE COMPANY” were exercised, we expect to
receive an additional $8,455,000, substantially all of which we expect to use
for general working capital purposes, including strategic acquisitions of
technology or other businesses. However, no assurance can be given that any
of
these warrants will be exercised. We will incur all of the costs associated
with
the registration of the shares of our common stock offered by this prospectus
other than underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any. See “PLAN OF
DISTRIBUTION.”
The
selling stockholders may sell all or a portion of their shares of our stock
in
the over-the-counter market at prices prevailing at the time of sale, or related
to the market price at the time of sale, or at other negotiated prices. See
“PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION.”
Background
We
are
registering the shares of our common stock offered for resale by this prospectus
in order to satisfy our obligations to the selling stockholders named below
under “—Selling Stockholders Table.” In January of 2004, we sold 20,000,000
units for a total of $2,000,000 to the first ten selling stockholders named
below under “—Selling Stockholders Table” (all of whom are accredited investors)
in a private placement transaction exempt from registration under Section 4(2)
of the Securities Act of 1933 and Regulation D promulgated under the Securities
Act of 1933. Each unit consists of:
|
·
|
one
share of our common stock;
|
|
·
|
a
warrant to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise
price of
$0.10 per share (the “$0.10 investor warrants”);
and
|
|
·
|
a
warrant to purchase two shares of our common stock at an exercise
price of
$0.25 per share (the “$0.25 investor
warrants”).
|
On
November 16, 2004, we voluntarily reduced the exercise price of the $0.25
investor warrants to $0.15 per share (the “$0.15 investor warrants”). These
warrants will expire on January 20, 2009 unless exercised earlier.
Pursuant
to the securities purchase agreement between us and the first ten selling
stockholders named below under “—Selling Stockholders Table,” we are obligated
to register under the Securities Act of 1933, all the shares of our common
stock
purchased by each of these selling stockholders, as well as the shares of our
common stock that will be held by each of these stockholders assuming these
stockholders exercise all of the $0.10 investor warrants and $0.15 investor
warrants. We are obligated to keep the registration statement of which this
prospectus forms a part effective until the earliest of the date on which the
warrants have all been exercised and January 20, 2009.
We
are
registering the remaining shares of our common stock for Clayton Dunning &
Company, Inc. (f/k/a Charleston Capital Corp.), Chris Messalas, Jason Lyons
and
GRQ Consultants, Inc. as a result of so-called "piggy-back" registration rights,
which means that, because we are required by the securities purchase agreement
to file the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part,
holders of "piggy-back" registration rights must also be given the opportunity
to have their shares of our common stock registered in the registration
statement of which this prospectus forms a part.
Selling
Stockholders Table
The
shares of our common stock offered by this prospectus are being sold for the
account of the selling stockholders identified in the following table. Except

under “PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION,” for the last three years, none of the selling
stockholders have held any position, office or have other material relationship
with us, our predecessors or our affiliates. The information in the following
table and footnotes is based solely on information furnished to us by the
selling stockholders on or prior to the date of this prospectus. However, any
or
all of the common stock listed below may be offered for sale with this
prospectus by the selling stockholders from time to time. Accordingly, no
estimate can be given as to the amount of our common stock that will be held
by
the selling stockholders upon consummation of any sales. In addition, the
selling stockholders listed in the table below may have acquired, sold or
transferred, in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the

(d)
the amount and, if

Except
as

sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of our common stock

& Company, Inc. (f/k/a Charleston Capital Corp.), Jason Lyons, Chris
Messalas and related persons (a) has represented to us that it purchased the
securities to be resold pursuant to this prospectus in the ordinary course
of
business and, at the time of the purchase of such securities, had no agreements
or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute such
securities; and (b) may not sell, transfer, assign, pledge or hypothecate or
otherwise dispose of any of the shares of common stock listed below for a period
of 180 days immediately following the later of the effective date of the

net
assets in liquidation after payment of all amounts due to creditors and any
liquidation preference due to preferred stockholders. Holders of our common
stock have no conversion rights and are not entitled to any preemptive or

further calls or assessments. Our common stock does not have cumulative voting
rights in the election of directors.

our

past and we do not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future.
Earnings, if any, are expected to be retained to fund our future operations.
There can be no assurance that we will pay dividends at any time in the
future.
Trading
of Our Common Stock
Our
common stock presently is quoted on the over-the-counter bulletin board
maintained by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. under the
symbol “NPCT.” Our common stock also is traded on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange
and on the Hamburg Stock Exchange under the symbol “NPI.” The average of the
closing bid and asked prices for our common stock was $0.16 per share (rounded
to the nearest penny) on January 27, 2005.
Private
Placement
On
January 12, 2004, we entered into a placement agent agreement with Charleston
Capital Corp. (now known as Clayton Dunning & Company, Inc.) in connection
with a proposed sale of our securities to a number of “accredited investors” (as
defined in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended), in a private placement
transaction exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities
Act of 1933 and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act
of
1933.
In
January of 2004, we sold 20,000,000 units for a total of $2,000,000 to a limited
number of accredited investors in a private placement transaction exempt from
registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Regulation
D
promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933. Each unit consists
of:
|
·
|
one
share of our common stock;
|
|
·
|
a
warrant to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise
price of
$0.10 per share (the “$0.10 investor warrants”);
and
|
|
·
|
a
warrant to purchase two shares of our common stock at an exercise
price of
$0.25 per share (the “$0.25 investor
warrants”).
|
On
November 16, 2004, we voluntarily reduced the exercise price of the $0.25
investor warrants to $0.15 per share (the “$0.15 investor warrants”). These
warrants will expire on January 20, 2009 unless exercised earlier. In connection
with the private placement, we compensated Charleston Capital Corp. (now known
as Clayton Dunning & Company, Inc.) as follows:
|
·
|
a
fee equal to 3% of the gross proceeds ($60,000) received by us as
a result
of the issuance of the units described above;
|
|
·
|
warrants
to purchase 600,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price
of
$0.10 per share that expire on January 20, 2009, unless exercised
earlier;
|
|
·
|
a
right of first refusal on any financing that we enter into for a
period of
one year from the date of the effectiveness of the registration statement
of which this prospectus forms a part (which is considered by the
National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. to be an item of “underwriting
compensation” valued at 1% of the offering
proceeds).
|
We
were
also required to compensate Clayton Dunning & Company 3% of the gross
proceeds from exercise of warrants issued as part of the units described above
and warrants equal to 3% of number of shares purchased upon exercise of warrants
issued as part of the units described above. Clayton Dunning & Company has
since waived this warrant solicitation fee and the right to receive the
additional warrants.
We
have
been advised that Clayton Dunning & Company, Inc. (f/k/a Charleston Capital
Corp.) transferred 390,000 of the warrants described above as compensation
to
Chris Messalas, one of Clayton Dunning & Company’s registered
representatives.
Jason
Lyons, not affiliated with us, received a fee equal to 4.9999% of the gross
proceeds received by us from the sale of the units for introducing us to
Charleston Capital Corp. (now known as Clayton Dunning & Company, Inc.) and
the purchasers and for consulting work done on our behalf. We also issued to
Jason Lyons warrants to purchase 4.9999% of the shares of our common stock
issued with the units (1,000,000 shares of our common stock). The warrants
have
an exercise price of $0.10 per share and expire on January 20, 2009 unless
exercised earlier. We are also required to issue to Jason Lyons additional
warrants to purchase a total of 4.9999% of the total number of shares issued
as
a result of the exercise of the $0.10 investor warrants described above. If
all
of the $0.10 investor warrants are exercised, we will be required to issue
to
Jason Lyons additional warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of our common
stock. All of the additional warrants will also have an exercise price of $0.10
per share and expire on January 20, 2009 unless exercised earlier.
GRQ
Consultants, Inc., also unaffiliated with us, received a fee equal to 5% of
the
gross proceeds received by us from the sale of the units for introducing us
to
Jason Lyons and for consulting work done on our behalf. We also issued to GRQ
Consultants warrants to purchase 5% of the shares of our common stock issued
with the units (1,000,000 shares of our common stock). We are also required
to
issue to GRQ Consultants additional warrants to purchase a total of 5% of the
total number of shares issued as a result of the exercise of the $0.10 investor
warrants described above. If all of the $0.10 investor warrants are exercised,
we will be required to issue to GRQ Consultants additional warrants to purchase
1,000,000 shares of our common stock. All of the additional warrants will also
have an exercise price of $0.10 per share and expire on January 20, 2009 unless
exercised earlier.
If
all of
the $0.10 warrants and $0.15 warrants issued or to be issued in connection
with
the private placement transaction were exercised, we expect to receive an
additional $8,455,000. However, no assurance can be given that any of these
warrants will be exercised. We
will not receive any proceeds from the sale of our common stock by the selling
stockholders.
Selling
Stockholders
Clayton
Dunning & Company, Inc. (f/k/a Charleston Capital Corp.) has no arrangements
with us to distribute any of the shares offered by this prospectus. The selling
stockholders may, from time to time, use this prospectus to sell all or a
portion of the shares of our common stock offered by this prospectus. These
sales and transfers of our common stock may be effected from time to time in
one
or more transactions on the over-the-counter bulletin board, in the
over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions or otherwise, at a fixed
price or prices, which may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time
of sale, at negotiated prices, or without consideration, or by any other legally
available means.
These
transfers or sales may occur directly or by or through brokers, dealers, agents
or underwriters, who may receive compensation in the form of underwriting
discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling holders and/or from
purchasers of the common stock for whom they may act as agent. Any or all of
the
shares of common stock may be sold or transferred from time to time by means
of:
|
·
|
a
block trade in which the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt
to sell
the common stock as agent but may position and resell a portion of
the
block as principal to facilitate the
transaction;
|
|
·
|
purchases
by a broker or dealer as principal and resale by that broker or dealer
for
its account based on this
prospectus;
|
|
·
|
ordinary
brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits
purchasers;
|
|
·
|
the
writing of options on the common
stock;
|
|
·
|
pledges
as collateral to secure loans, credit or other financing arrangements
and
any subsequent foreclosure, if any, under those
arrangements;
|
|
·
|
gifts,
donations and contributions; and
|
|
·
|
any
other legally available means.
|
To
the
extent required by the Securities Act of 1933, the number of shares of common
stock to be sold or transferred, the purchase price, the name of any agent,
broker, dealer or underwriter and any applicable discounts or commissions and
any other required information with respect to a particular offer will be shown
in an accompanying prospectus supplement or post-effective
amendment.
In
the
event of the transfer by any selling stockholder of shares of our common stock
offered by this prospectus to any pledge, donee or other transferee, we will
supplement or amend this prospectus (as required by the Securities Act of 1933)
and the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part in order
to
have the pledge, donee or other transferee included as a selling
stockholder.
We
have
agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of the date on which
no warrants that we previously issued or are required to issue to the selling
stockholders described above under “SELLING STOCKHOLDERS—Background” to purchase
shares of our common stock remain unexercised by the selling stockholders and
January 20, 2009.
If
necessary to comply with state securities laws, the common stock will be sold
only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, the common
stock may not be sold unless it has been registered or qualified for sale in
the
applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification
requirement is available and is complied with.
The
selling stockholders and any brokers, dealers, agents or underwriters that
participate in the distribution of the common stock may be, and Clayton Dunning
& Company, Inc. (f/k/a Charleston Capital Corp.) will be, deemed to be
“underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, in which event
any discounts, concessions and commissions received by those brokers, dealers,
agents or underwriters and any profit on the resale of the common stock
purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts
under the Securities Act of 1933.
The
selling stockholders that are broker-dealers or affiliates of broker-dealers
may
not sell, transfer, assign, pledge or hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any
of
the shares of common stock offered by this prospectus for a period of 180 days
immediately following the later of the effective date of the registration
statement of which this prospectus forms a part and the date of the first sale
of shares of our common stock pursuant to this prospectus in accordance with
Rule 2710(g) of the conduct rules of the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. The names of the selling stockholders and the number of shares
of
common stock subject to the 180-day restriction described in the previous
sentence include the following:

No
underwriter, broker, dealer or agent has been engaged by us or, to our
knowledge, any of the selling stockholders, in connection with the distribution
of the common stock.
We
and
the selling stockholders will be subject to the applicable provisions of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations under it,
including, without limitation, Rule 10b-5 and, insofar as the selling
stockholders are distributors and we, under certain circumstances, may be a
distribution participant, under Regulation M.
The
anti-manipulation provisions of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange
Act
of 1934 will apply to purchases and sales of shares of our common stock by
the
selling stockholders, and there are restrictions on market-making activities
by
persons engaged in the distribution of the shares of our common stock. Under
Regulation M, a selling stockholder or its agents may not bid for, purchase,
or
attempt to induce any person to bid for or purchase, shares of our common stock
while they are distributing shares of our common stock covered by this
prospectus. Accordingly, the selling stockholders are not permitted to cover
short sales by purchasing shares of our common stock while the distribution
is
taking place.
Any
common stock covered by this prospectus which also qualify for sale based on
Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933 may be sold under Rule 144
rather than based on this prospectus. There is no assurance that the selling
stockholders identified in this prospectus will sell any or all of the common
stock. The selling stockholders may transfer, devise or gift common stock by
other means not described in this prospectus.
We
will
pay all of the expenses incident to the registration of the common stock, other
than underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any. The aggregate
proceeds to the selling holders from the sale of the common stock will be the
purchase price of that common stock less any of these discounts or
commissions.
We
have
agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against some of the liabilities
under the Securities Act of 1933 arising from this prospectus or the
registration statement of which it is a part.
Our
audited financial statements incorporated into this prospectus by reference
have
been so incorporated in reliance upon the report of Gelfond
Hochstadt Pangburn, P.C., independent certified public accountants (“our
auditor”), which expresses an unqualified opinion and includes an explanatory
paragraph relating to our ability to continue as a going concern, given upon
their authority as experts in auditing and accounting.
With
respect to our unaudited financial statements incorporated into this prospectus
by reference, our auditor has applied limited procedures in accordance with
professional standards for a review of such information. However, as stated
in
their separate reports included in our quarterly report on Form 10-QSB for
the
fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2004, and incorporated by reference into
this
prospectus, our auditor did not audit and they do not express an opinion on
that
interim financial information. Because of the limited nature of the review
procedures applied, the degree of reliance on our auditor’s reports on our
interim financial information should be restricted.
Our
auditor is not subject to the liability provisions of Section 11 of the
Securities Act of 1933 for their reports on our unaudited interim financial
information because those reports are not a “report” or a “part” of the
registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part prepared or
certified by our auditor within the meaning of Section 7 and 11 of the
Securities Act of 1933.
We
are
subject to the informational requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934
and, in compliance with this act, file periodic reports and other information
with the SEC. These reports and the other information we file with the SEC
can
be inspected and copied at the public reference room facilities maintained
by
the SEC in Washington, D.C. at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549.
The SEC’s telephone number to obtain information on the operation of the public
reference room is (800) SEC-0330. In addition, the SEC maintains a World Wide
Web site that contains reports, proxy statements and other information regarding
registrants like the company that file electronically with the SEC at the
following Internet address: (http://www.sec.gov). The SEC’s telephone number is
(800) SEC-0330.
We
have
filed with the SEC in Washington, D.C. a registration statement on Form S-2
under the Securities Act of 1933 with respect to the shares of our common stock
offered by this prospectus.
This
prospectus is part of a registration statement on Form S-2 that we have filed
with the SEC. This prospectus is only a part of that registration statement,
and
does not contain all of the information that is included in the registration
statement, several sections of which are not included at all in this prospectus.
The statements contained in this prospectus, including statements as to the
contents of any contract or other document, are not necessarily complete. You
should refer to the registration statement and to an actual copy of the contract
or document filed as an exhibit to the registration statement for more complete
information. The registration statement may be obtained from the SEC through
one
of the methods described above in “AVAILABLE INFORMATION.”
The
SEC
