3. We note that the termination date for the 2006 Convertible Debentures was extended twice during 2006. As consideration for each of these extensions, you issued the holders shares of your common stock and warrants to purchase shares of your
common stock. It appears from your disclosure that the
relative fair value and not the
fair value of these instruments were amortized over the remaining term of the debt.

treatment.
Laurus Convertible Non-Convertible Financings, F-23
4. Please provide a detailed discussion of w hy the debt discount associated with the
Laurus Convertible Debt was record ed at $1,430,500 and not $1,500,000. It would
appear that the value of the benefici al conversion feature of $1,054,357 would be
capped at the relative fa ir value of the debt of $581,077, not $511,577, considering
the relative fair value of the options was calculated to be $918,923.
5. It appears that the relative fair value of the options was recorded as a debt discount
from the proceeds of the Laurus Revolving Note. Please note that when equity
instruments are issued to secure borrowi ng capacity (i.e., revolving note, line of
credit) the full fair value of the equity instruments shoul d be charged to debt issue
costs and amortized over the term of the loan. Please revise.

was extended to September 15, 2006. As c onsideration for the extension, you issued
