SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained in, or incorporated by reference in, this prospectus are forward-looking in nature. These statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” or “anticipates,” or the negatives thereof or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy. You are cautioned that our business and operations are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties and, consequently, our actual results may materially differ from those projected by any forward-looking statements. Certain of these risks and uncertainties are discussed below under the heading “Risk Factors.” We make no commitment to revise or update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect events or circumstances after the date any such statement is made.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in us entails substantial risk. You should consider the following risks and other information contained in this prospectus, information incorporated by reference, and information that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time. The information in this prospectus is complete and accurate as of this date, but the information may change after the date of this prospectus.

GENERAL FACTORS
 
We have a history of operating losses and decreasing cash available for operations.

We have a history of operating losses and have used increasing amounts of cash to fund our operating activities over the years. In 2004, 2005 and 2006, we had operating losses of $2.5 million, $2.3 million and $3.6 million, respectively. Cash used in operations in 2004, 2005 and 2006 was $0.1 million, $1.7 million and $1.6 million, respectively.
 
Although we raised $3.2 million ($2.5 million net of transaction costs) in 2006 from the private placements of our securities, we have invested a significant portion of those funds in Paketeria. At December 31, 2006, we did not have sufficient cash available to fund our US operations for the next 12 months. We recently raised an additional $6.9 million (approximately $6.0 million after transaction costs) in a private placement of convertible debentures and warrants. While this provides us with enough cash to finance our U.S. operations for the next 12 months, we may need additional funds to fund our operating activities and acquisitions over the longer term. Should we be unsuccessful in completing additional timely transactions providing necessary liquidity, we may not have sufficient funds to finance our future U.S. activities and strategic acquisitions over the long-term. In such event, we might need to sell some of our assets to finance these activities.

Loss of the services of a few key employees could harm our operations.

We depend on our key management, technical employees and sales personnel. The loss of certain managers could diminish our ability to develop and maintain relationships with customers and potential customers. The loss of certain technical personnel could harm our ability to meet development and implementation schedules. The loss of certain sales personnel could have a negative effect on sales to certain current customers. Most of our significant employees are bound by confidentiality and non-competition agreements. Our future success also depends on our continuing ability to identify, hire, train and retain other highly qualified technical and managerial personnel. If we fail to attract or retain highly qualified technical and managerial personnel in the future, our business could be disrupted.

A failure to integrate our new management may adversely affect us.

We appointed a new chief financial officer and chief accounting officer in December 2005 and appointed a new president and chief executive officer in March 2006. Any failure to effectively integrate our new management and any new management controls, systems and procedures they may implement, could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
 
We may be exposed to potential risks relating to our internal controls over financial reporting and our ability to have those controls attested to by our independent registered public accounting firm. 
 
As directed by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the SEC adopted rules requiring public companies to include a report of management on internal control over financial reporting in their annual reports.  In addition, the independent registered public accounting firm auditing a public company’s financial statements must attest to and report on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting as well as the operating effectiveness of the company’s internal controls over financial reporting.  Our management is currently required to report on our internal controls as a required part of our annual report beginning with fiscal year 2007 and to allow our independent registered public accounting firm to attest to our internal controls as a required part of our annual report beginning with fiscal year 2008.
 
1

 
We may have to expend significant resources during fiscal years 2007 and 2008 in developing the necessary documentation and testing procedures required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and there is a risk that we will not comply with all of the requirements imposed thereby.  Because of the difficulty of measuring compliance adequacy, we cannot assure you that we will not receive an adverse opinion on our assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting and/or the operating effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting from our independent registered public accounting firm.
 
If we identify material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting that we cannot remediate in a timely manner or we receive an adverse opinion from our independent registered public accounting firm with respect to our internal controls over financial reporting, investors and others may lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements and our ability to obtain equity or debt financing could be adversely affected.
 
Compliance with changing regulation of corporate governance, public disclosure and financial accounting standards may result in additional expenses and affect our reported results of operations. 

Keeping informed of, and in compliance with, changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance, public disclosure and accounting standards, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as new and proposed SEC regulations and accounting standards, has required an increased amount of management attention and external resources.  Compliance with such requirements may result in increased general and administrative expenses and an increased allocation of management time and attention to compliance activities. 

RISKS RELATED TO THE RT AND IT SOLUTIONS SEGMENTS

Failure to accurately forecast costs of fixed-priced contracts could reduce our margins.

When working on a fixed-price basis, we undertake to deliver software or integrated hardware/software solutions to a customer’s specifications or requirements for a particular project. The profits from these projects are primarily determined by our success in correctly estimating and thereafter controlling project costs. Costs may in fact vary substantially as a result of various factors, including underestimating costs, difficulties with new technologies and economic and other changes that may occur during the term of the contract. If, for any reason, our costs are substantially higher than expected, we may incur losses on fixed-price contracts.

Hostilities in the Middle East region may slow down the Israeli hi-tech market and may harm our Israeli operations; our Israeli operations may be negatively affected by the obligations of our personnel to perform military service.

Our software consulting and development services segment is currently conducted in Israel. Accordingly, political, economic and military conditions in Israel may directly affect this segment of our business. Any increase in hostilities in the Middle East involving Israel could weaken the Israeli hi-tech market, which may result in a significant deterioration of the results of our Israeli operations. In addition, an increase in hostilities in Israel could cause serious disruption to our Israeli operations if acts associated with such hostilities result in any serious damage to our offices or those of our customers or harm to our personnel.

Many of our employees in Israel are obligated to perform military reserve duty. In the event of severe unrest or other conflict, one or more of our key employees could be required to serve in the military for extended periods of time. In the past, there were numerous call-ups of military reservists to active duty, and it is possible that there will be additional call-ups in the future. Our Israeli operations could be disrupted as a result of such call-ups for military service.

Exchange rate fluctuations could increase the cost of our Israeli operations.

The sales in this segment stem from our Israeli operations and a significant portion of those sales are in New Israeli Shekels (“NIS”). In addition, many transactions that are linked to the dollar are settled in NIS. The dollar value of the revenues of our operations in Israel will decrease if the dollar is devalued in relation to the NIS during the period from the invoicing of a transaction to its settlement. In addition, significant portions of our expenses in those operations are in NIS, so that if the dollar is devalued in relation to the NIS, the dollar value of these expenses will increase.

One of our major customers has a history of operating deficits and may implement cost-cutting measures that may have a material adverse effect on us.

In 2006, 17% of dsIT’s sales (17% and 13% in 2005 and 2004, respectively) and 24% of its billed receivables at December 31, 2006 (10% at December 31, 2005) were related to Clalit. Clalit has a history of running at a deficit, which in the past has required numerous cost cutting plans and periodic assistance from the Israeli government. Should Clalit have to institute additional cost cutting measures in the future, which may include restructuring of its terms of payment, this could have a material adverse effect on the performance of dsIT.
 
We are substantially dependent on a small number of customers and the loss of one or more of these customers may cause revenues and cash flow to decline
 
In 2006, 58% of dsIT’s sales (51% and 59% in 2005 and 2004, respectively) were concentrated in three customers (Applied Materials Israel Ltd., RAFAEL Armament Development Authority Ltd. and Clalit). A significant reduction of orders from any of these customers could have a material adverse effect on the performance of dsIT.

We have sold our outsourcing business, which in the past provided our Israeli operations with a steady cash flow; our Israeli operations may be hindered by future cash flow problems.
 
In August 2005, we sold our outsourcing business, which in the past provided our Israeli operations with a steady cash flow stream, and, in conjunction with bank lines of credit, helped to finance our Israeli operations. Our present operations, as we are currently structured, places a greater reliance on our meeting project milestones in order to generate cash flow to finance our operations. Should we encounter difficulties in meeting significant project milestones, resulting cash flow difficulties could have a material adverse effect on our operations.

If we are unable to keep pace with rapid technological change, our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows may suffer.
 
Some of our RT and IT solutions are characterized by rapidly changing technologies and industry standards and technological obsolescence. Our competitiveness and future success depends on our ability to keep pace with changing technologies and industry standards on a timely and cost-effective basis. A fundamental shift in technologies in could have a material adverse effect on our competitive position. Our failure to react to changes in existing technologies could materially delay our development of new products, which could result in technological obsolescence, decreased revenues, and/or a loss of market share to competitors. To the extent that we fail to keep pace with technological change, our revenues and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR PAKETERIA INVESTMENT

Paketeria’s business plan is predicated on projected rapid growth in its network of franchised stores. If Paketeria fails to effectively manage this growth, its business and operating results could be harmed. Additionally they could be forced to incur significant expenditures to address the additional operational and control requirements of this growth.

Paketeria’s business plan is predicated on projected rapid growth in its operations, which will place significant demands on its management, operational and financial infrastructure. If Paketeria does not effectively manage this growth, the quality of its services could suffer, which could negatively affect its operating results. To effectively manage this growth, Paketeria will need to continue to improve its operational, financial, and management controls and its reporting systems and procedures. These system enhancements and improvements could require Paketeria to make significant capital expenditures and an allocation of valuable management resources. If the improvements are not implemented successfully, Paketeria’s ability to manage growth may be impaired and could force it to make significant additional expenditures to address these issues, expenditures that could harm its financial position.
 
Paketeria will need to raise funds to finance its planned activities. 
 
Paketeria does not currently have enough cash to finance its planned activities in 2007. In the event that it is unable raise these funds from new investors, we may need to make loans or additional equity investments in Paketeria from our limited financial resources to help fund its activities.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR SECURITIES

There is only a limited trading market for our Common Stock.

There is currently only a limited market for out Common Stock. Our Common Stock Trades ont he OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "ACFN" with, until recently, very limited trading volume. We caannot assure you that a subbstantial trading market will be sustained for our common stock.

Our share price may decline due to the large number of shares of our Common Stock eligible for future sale in the public market including the shares of the selling security holders.

A substantial number of shares of our Common Stock are, or could upon exercise of options or warrants, become eligible for sale in the public market as described below. Sales of substantial amounts of our shares of our Common Stock in the public market, or the possibility of these sales, may adversely affect our stock price.

As of December 31, 2006 there were 614,039 warrants with a weighted average exercise price of $2.79 and 1,626,157 options with a weighted average exercise price of $2.46 per share, presently exercisable, which if exercised for cash would result in the issuance of an additional 2,240,196 shares of Common Stock. In addition, there were 482,668 options and 190,000 warrants that expire on or before December 31, 2007 all of which are in-the-money at December 31, 2006.

The market price of our Common Stock will likely be affected by fluctuations in the market price of the common stock of Comverge.

On April 13, 2007, shares of Comverge common stock commenced trading on the Nasdaq Global Market. Due to the substantial position we hold in Comverge, the market price of our Common Stock is likely to be affected by fluctuations in the market price of the common stock of Comverge.

We may be deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940; if we were deemed to be an investment company we could be forced to sell shares of Comverge stock sooner that we otherwise would at prices lower than we might otherwise obtain.

Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), and the rules thereunder, we would be deemed to be an investment company if the “value” of “investment securities” we own accounts for more than 40% of the total “value” of our assets, exclusive of “government securities,” cash and certain cash items. The shares of Comverge common stock we own are “investment securities” under the Act and account for significantly more than 40% of the value of our total assets.

Pursuant to a “safe harbor” provision under the Investment Company Act rules, we would be exempt from regulation as an investment company, if, among other things, we were deemed to primarily control Comverge. In order to primarily control Comverge, we would need to own more than 25% of its voting securities and be Comverge’s single largest shareholder. As a result of (1) the Comverge IPO in April 2007 which resulted in the dilution of our equity position to 15.9% of Comverge’s outstanding shares, and (2) the resulting termination of our voting agreements with other shareholders, we are likely to be deemed to no longer have primary control of Converge. As a result, as of the end of our fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2007, we may inadvertently fall within the definition of an investment company, without any applicable exemption.

Our Board of Directors intends to make an election under Rule 3a-2 under the Investment Company Act that exempts an issuer from investment company status for up to one year, so long as it has a bona fide intent to promptly (in any event within a one year period) be primarily engaged in a business other than that of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading in securities.

Our management and Board of Directors are formulating plans for returning the Company to compliance with the numerical tests for exemption from investment company status as soon as possible and no later than June 30, 2008. These plans would likely include the acquisition of one or more wholly-owned, majority-owned, or primarily-controlled operating businesses. Steps in effectuating these plans may include the sale and or distribution to our shareholders of Comverge shares, and/or a merger or other acquisition transaction.
 
4

 
We are subject to a lock-up period that prohibits sales or other transfers of our Comverge shares before October 20, 2007. To the extent that effectuating our plan to remain exempt from the Investment Company Act requires us to sell or distribute a significant number of Comverge shares, we may have only approximately eight months from the end of the lockup period and before June 30, 2008--the end of the one year period in Rule 3a-2--in which to make such sales. Being forced to sell a significant portion of our Comverge shares during a relatively short time period could result in our selling Comverge shares sooner than we otherwise would have, at prices lower than we might otherwise have obtained. We may also find that we are not able to identify and acquire during the one year period a suitable operating business or businesses on terms acceptable to us. While we could request an order from the SEC to give us additional time beyond the one year period allowed by Rule 3a-2 to sell and/or distribute Comverge shares and take any other action necessary to come into compliance with the Investment Company Act, the Board of Directors has not determined to request such an order and there is no assurance that such an order would be granted.

If we are unable to come into compliance with the Investment Company Act before June 30, 2008 (or any later date to which that may be extended by the SEC), we may be in violation of the Investment Company Act. If we were deemed to be operating as an illegally unregistered investment company, the consequences could potentially be severe. Among other things, the Company would be prohibited from engaging in business in the United States (including non-investment company business) and all of its contracts would become voidable at the election of the counterparty.
 
USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares by the selling security holders. To the extent that the warrants or option are exercised by the selling security holders for cash, rather than by cashless exercise, we will receive proceeds constituting the exercise price of such warrants or option, less warrant solicitation fees in the case of the warrants, if applicable. Any such proceeds received by us through warrant or option exercises will be used for working capital.

SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS

On April 11, 2007, we completed a private placement to investors of (1) $6,886,000 of principal amount of 10% Convertible Redeemable Subordinated Debentures (the “Debentures“) (2) warrants to purchase 453,047 shares of common stock, and (3) warrants issued to First Montauk Securities Corp., and its agents and assignees, as partial consideration for its role as placement agent, to purchase 181,211 shares of common stock. The warrants issued in the private placement have an exercise price of $4.50 and are exercisable through March 30, 2012.

From the date of issuance of the Debentures, up to and including March 30, 2008, 50% of the outstanding principal amount of the Debentures is convertible into shares of common stock at a price of $3.80 per share. Following March 30, 2008, the Debentures are convertible up to the entire principal amount then outstanding. If fully converted, the Debentures would result in the issuance of 1,812,061 shares of common stock.

The Debentures are due March 30, 2011 and bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum, payable quarterly. If the Company fails to redeem at least 50% of the total outstanding principal amount of the Debentures, together with interest accrued thereon, by the first anniversary of the initial closing, the annual rate of interest payable on the Debentures will be increased to 12%. The Debentures may be redeemed by us in whole or in part at anytime.

This prospectus covers the sale by the selling security holders from time to time of (1) 1,812,061 shares of common stock issuuable upon conversion of the Debentures and (2) 634,258 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants issued in the private placement.

We issued the securities to the selling security holders without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act“) in reliance upon the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for transactions not invloving a public offering. Prior to issuance, each selling security holder represented to us that it was an accredited investor, as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act, and that it was acquiring the securities for investment purposes only and not with a view to, or sale in connection with, any distibution thereof.

 The term "selling security holder" includes (1) each person and entity that is identified in the table below (as such table may be amended from time to time by means of an amendment to the registration statement of which this
prospectus forms a part) and (2) any transferee, donee, pledgee or other successor of any person or entity named in the table that acquires any of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus in a transaction exempt from
the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 and that is identified in a supplement or amendment to this prospectus.

We have listed below:

·  
the name of each selling security holder;
 
 ·  
the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the selling security holder as of the date of this prospectus;

·  
the maximum number of shares of common stock being offered by each of them in this offering; and

·  
the number of shares of common stock to be owned by the selling security holder after this offering (assuming sale of such maximum number of shares) and the percentage of the class which such number constitutes (if one percent or more).

The footnotes to the table identify each selling security holder that is a registered broker-dealer or an affiliate of a registered broker-dealer.

Except as otherwise noted below, during the last three years, no selling security holder has been an officer, director or affiliate of our company, nor has any selling security holder had any material relationship with our company or affilliates during that period. Each selling security holder represented at the closing of the private placement that it did not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of any of the securities. The selling security holders purchased the securities in the ordinary course of business, to the best of our knowledge.

The shares of common stock being offered hereby are being registered to permit public secondary trading, and the selling security holders are under no obligation to sell all or any portion of their shares included in this prospectus. The information contained in the following table is derived from our books and records, as well as from our transfer agent. The following table assumes the sale of all securities covered by this prospectus.

broker-dealers may agree with the selling securityholder to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
 
 ·
a combination of any such methods of sale; and
 
 ·
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The selling security holders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling security holders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling security holders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The selling security holders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.

The selling security holder and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares of our common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares of our common stock purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. The selling security holders have informed us that it does not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute our common stock.

Certain of the selling security holders are registered broker-dealers or affiliates of registered broker dealers as indicated under “Selling Security Holders.” Any selling security holder that is a registered broker-dealer or its affiliate will be considered an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with the sale of securities pursuant to this prospectus and any commissions received by such broker-dealer and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by it may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.

Warrants”). Of these warrants to purchase 181,211 shares of our common stock, First Montauk Securities Corp assigned 125,856 to its officers and employees, 20,263 to Oppenheimer & Co. Inc., a registered broker dealer and NASD member firm, and its officers and employees, and 35,092 to Saxony Financial Holdings, LLC, a registered broker dealer and NASD member firm, and its officers and employees, as allowed under NASD Rule 2710 (g)(2). The warrants to purchase 20,263 shares of our common stock assigned to Oppenheimer & Co. Inc., and warrants to purchase 35,092 shares of our common stock assigned to Saxony Financial Holdings, LLC, were assigned as partial compensation for their participation as selling agents in the private placement pursuant to agreements between First Montauk Securities Corp. and each of them The registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part includes the shares underlying the warrants held by First Montauk Securities Corp, its officers and employees, Oppenheimer & Co. Inc., and Saxony Financial Holdings, LLC.

The First Montauk Securities Corp. Warrants, including the warrants assigned to Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. and Saxony Financial Holdings, LLC, expire on April 11, 2012. The 181,211 shares of common stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the First Montauk Securities Corp Warrants are restricted from sale, transfer, assignment, pledge or hypothecation or be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the Registration Statement of which this prospectus forms a part except as permitted under NASD Rule 2710 (g)(1) and (2).

In addition to fees paid to First Montauk Securities Corp. as placement agent in the private placement, they are also entitled to the payment of a warrant solicitation fee equal to 5% of the exercise price of the warrants exercise by the selling security holders, excluding themselves, their officers, Oppenheimer & Co. Inc., and Saxony Financial Holdings, LLC and the employees and officers thereof. If all holders, excluding the foregoing, were to exercise their warrants, First Montauk Securities Corp. would be entitled to a total warrant solicitation fees of approximately $102,000. Such fees shall be paid in accordance with the applicable rules of the NASD. Further, the Company agreed that for a period of 18 months following the closing of the private placement, First Montauk would be entitled to receive at each closing of any other equity financing, convertible debt financing or any instrument convertible into shares of common stock from any source contacted by First Montauk  on the Company’s behalf during the private placement and disclosed to the Company in writing (i) a cash transaction fee in the amount of 10% of the amount of the gross proceeds received by the Company from any such financing, (ii) a non-accountable expense allowance of 1% of the amount of gross proceeds received by the Company from any such financing and (iii) additional placement agent warrants.  These fees and additional warrants are not payable in connection with the resale of any securities covered by this prospectus and were granted to First Montauk at the commencement of the private placement. These additional compensation rights were granted to First Montauk because the parties acknowledged that the sources of financing brought to the Company by First Montauk were valuable business assets and the property of First Montauk, and therefore First Montauk was entitled to compensation in the event that the Company used these business assets to obtain additional financing.

First Montauk Securities Corp. has indicated to us its willingness to act as selling agent on behalf of certain of the selling security holders named in the Prospectus under "Selling Security Holders." that purchased our privately placed securities.

Further, other than their existing brokerage relationship as customers with First Montauk Securities Corp.,  no selling security holder has any pre-arranged agreement with First Montauk Securities Corp. to sell their securities through First Montauk Securities Corp.. No NASD member firm shall be entitled to receive more than 8% compensation determined under NASD rules (specifically NASD Rule 2710) in connection with the resale of the securities by the selling security holders.

Item 14.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

The Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and the Amended Bylaws of the Registrant provide that the Registrant shall indemnify its officers, directors and certain others to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of Delaware (“DGCL”). Section 145 of the DGCL provides that the Registrant, as a Delaware corporation, is empowered, subject to certain procedures and limitations, to indemnify any person against expenses (including attorney’s fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (including a derivative action) in which such person is made a party by reason of his being or having been a director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant (each, an “Indemnitee”); provided that the right of an Indemnitee to receive indemnification is subject to the following limitations: (i) an Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification unless he acted in good faith and in a manner that he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such conduct was unlawful and (ii) in the case of a derivative action, an Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification in the event that he is judged to be liable to the Company (unless and only to the extent that the court determines that the Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such expenses as the court deems proper). The statute provides that indemnification pursuant to its provisions is not exclusive of other rights of indemnification to which a person may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.

Pursuant to Section 145 of the DGCL, the Registrant has purchased insurance on behalf of its present and former directors and officers against any liability asserted against or incurred by them in such capacity or arising out of their status as such.

In accordance with Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Registrant eliminates personal liability of the Registrant’s directors to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as a director, with certain limited exceptions set forth in Section 102(b) (7) of the DGCL.

The Registrant has entered into an indemnification agreement with all of its present officers and directors and plans to enter into such agreements with all future officers and directors. The terms of the agreement require that the Registrant maintain a minimum level of insurance coverage for claims against officers and directors and that the Registrant indemnify the officer and/or director against claims against them that arise in their service on behalf of the Registrant.

Item 15.  Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.
 
In July 2006, we completed a private placement of our Common Stock, resulting in the issuance of 1,200,003 shares of Common Stock. In connection with the closing, we entered into subscription agreements with certain accredited investors for the purchase of the shares at a purchase price of $2.65 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of $3,180,000. By the terms of the subscription agreements, each subscriber, in addition to the Common Stock purchased, received a warrant exercisable for the purchase of 25% of the number of shares purchased, resulting in the issuance of warrants to purchase 300,005 shares. The warrants are exercisable for shares of our Common Stock for a period of five years at an exercise price of $2.78 per share and are redeemable by us in certain circumstances.
 
17


In connection with the offering, we retained a registered broker-dealer to serve as placement agent. In accordance with the terms of the agreement, the placement agent received a 7% selling commission, 3% management fee, and 1% advisory fee of the gross proceeds of the offering. In addition, the placement agent received warrants with the same terms as those issued to the subscribers exercisable for the purchase of 10% of the number of shares purchased in the offering.

Out of the gross proceeds received at the closings, we paid the placement agent commissions and expenses of approximately $350,000 and incurred legal and other costs of approximately $133,000. In addition, we issued to the placement agent warrants to purchase 120,001 shares of Common Stock on the same terms as those issued to the subscribers.

On August 8, 2006 we engaged Bibicoff & Associates to provide investor relations services. In connection with the engagement we issued to Bibicoff & Associates an option to purchase 120,000 shares.

On August 29, 2006 we issued 16,132 shares of common stock and a warrant to purchase 4,033 shares in a private placement.

On October 3, 2006, we engaged the services of financial advisors. In connection with the engagement we issued warrants to purchase 50,000 shares.

In April 2007, the Company completed the private placement, at par, of $6,886,000 million principal amount of 10% Convertible Redeemable Subordinated Debentures due March 2011, receiving gross proceeds in the same amount.

From the date of issuance of the debentures through the first anniversary of the initial closing, 50% of the outstanding principal amount of the debentures is convertible into shares of common stock at a price of $3.80 per share. Following the first anniversary of the initial closing, the debentures will be convertible up to the entire principal amount then outstanding.

In addition to the debentures subscribers received warrants exercisable for the purchase of a number of shares equal to 25% of the principal amount of the debentures purchased divided by the conversion price of $3.80, resulting in the issuance of warrants to purchase 453,047 shares. The warrants are exercisable for shares of the common stock for five years at an exercise price of $4.50 per share and are callable by the Company in certain circumstances.

Provided that a registration statement covering the resale by the subscribers of the shares underlying the debentures and warrants is effective, the Company may redeem the outstanding principal amount of the debentures, at par, in whole or in part, with accrued interest through the date of redemption.

The debentures bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum, payable quarterly. If the Company fails to redeem at least 50% of the total outstanding principal amount of the debentures, plus accrued interest, by the first anniversary of the initial closing, the annual rate of interest payable on the debentures will be increased to 12%.

First Montauk Securities Corp. served as placement agent in the placement. Out of the gross proceeds received, the Company paid the placement agent commissions and expenses of $863,795. In addition, in connection with the placement, the Company issued to the placement agent warrants to purchase a total of 181,211 shares of common stock.

The issuance and sale of the above securities were made to accredited investors in reliance upon the exemption provided in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

Item 17.  Undertakings.

(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment hereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
 
i.  
If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B (230.430B of this chapter):
 
A.  
Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
 
B.  
Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to , , or as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to , , or (§230.415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) of this chapter) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date; or
 
19

 
ii.  
If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C (§230.430C of this chapter), each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A (§230.430A of this chapter),, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
 
(6) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
 
i.  
Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
 
ii.  
Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
 
iii.  
The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
 
iv.  
Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
 
(b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in such Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
