This second round of funding was obtained after the company filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 3 relating to the shares of stock underlying the convertible debentures. Another $200,000 will be received upon the effective date of the registration. The funds will be used to retire debt and to assist in enlarging Roanoke’s sales staff.
