DILUTION
     If you invest in our common shares, you will experience dilution to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share you pay in this offering and the net tangible book deficit per common share immediately after this offering. Net tangible book deficit represents the amount of our total tangible assets reduced by our total liabilities. Our net tangible book deficit as of March 31, 2009 was approximately $155,394,701, or $3.5535 per common share. After deducting the estimated underwriter’s commission and estimated offering expenses paid by us, our net tangible book deficit, as adjusted for the offering (assuming no exercise by the underwriter of its over-allotment option), as of March 31, 2009, would have been $90,228,201, or $1.6855 per common share. Assuming the occurrence of this offering as of March 31, 2009, this represents an immediate decrease in net tangible book deficit of $1.8679 per common share to our existing shareholders and an immediate dilution of $8.8355 per common share to new investors purchasing our common shares in this offering.
     The following table illustrates the estimated per share dilution:
         
Public offering price per common share
  $ 7.15  
Net tangible book deficit per common share as of March 31, 2009
  $ 3.5535  
Increase per common share attributable to the offering
  $ 1.8679  
As adjusted net tangible book deficit per share after the offering
  $ 1.6855  
Dilution per common share to new investors purchasing common shares in the offering
  $ 8.8355  
     If the underwriter exercises its over-allotment option in full, the as adjusted net tangible book deficit would decrease to approximately $1.4590 per share, representing an immediate increase in net tangible book deficit of $2.0945 per common share to our existing shareholders and an immediate dilution of $8.6090 per common share to new investors purchasing our common shares in this offering.
     The exercise of outstanding options and warrants having an exercise price less than the public offering price will increase dilution to new investors.
