The company sold $3.9 million in stock to Balch Hill Capital and another investor and sold $5 million of a convertible debenture to Berg & Berg Enterprises. The company plans to announce more information about the funding during a Jan. 28 conference call about its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2002.
