ITEM 3.02   UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES.

The Company has entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "SPA") by and
between the Company and Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. ("Laurus") and a Security
Agreement (the "Loan Agreement" and, together with the SPA, the "Agreements") by
and between the Company and Laurus, each dated May 17, 2005. Pursuant to the
Agreements, Laurus has agreed to provide the Company with a term loan (the "Term
Loan") in the aggregate principal amount of $3.2 million and a revolving credit
facility (the "Revolving Facility") with a maximum availability of $10.0
million. Each of the Term Loan and any loans under the Revolving Facility shall
be convertible by Laurus in shares of the Company's common stock at an initial
rate of $1.66 per share. The Term Loan shall accrue interest at the prime rate
(as published in The Wall Street Journal from time to time) plus 4% and loans
under the Revolving Facility shall accrue interest at the prime rate (as
published in The Wall Street Journal from time to time) plus 1.25%; provided,
however, that in each instance such interest rates shall not be less than 6.50%.
Concurrent with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the
Agreements, the Company has requested, and Laurus has agreed to lend, an initial
draw under the Revolving Facility of $6,031,000 (which amount includes an
overadvance of $2.3 million). In addition, the Company has agreed to issue to
Laurus an option to purchase 650,000 shares of its Common Stock at an exercise
price of $.01 per share (the "Option").

Laurus has agreed that it shall not convert either the Term Loan or any loans
under the Revolving Facility into shares of the Company's Common Stock in
amounts that would cause Laurus' aggregate beneficial ownership of the Company's
Common Stock to exceed 4.99% at any given time (or 19.99% in the event such
limitation is suspended upon the occurrence of an "event of default" under any
of the Agreements or any other transaction agreements). The Company and Laurus
have agreed to customary terms and conditions including, but not limited to the
registration, within 120 days from the date of the Agreements, of shares of the
Company's Common Stock issuable (i) upon exercise of the Option, (ii) upon
conversion of the Term Loan, and (iii) upon conversion of up to $4.0 million
under the Revolving Facility.

The Company shall use the proceeds from the Term Loan and the Revolving Facility
to extinguish, in full, its indebtedness owed to Comerica Bank, its senior
secured lender, and The HillStreet Fund II, L.P., its subordinated secured
lender, as well as for general



working capital purposes. In connection with the
transactions described herein, Laurus received fees and was reimbursed by the
Company for its expenses in the aggregate amount of $510,200.

The descriptions contained herein are qualified in their entirety by reference
to the Agreements and other related transaction agreements filed herewith as
exhibits.
