Item 3. 
Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Mr. Marek, through Ted Marek Real Estate Defined Benefit Pension Plan (the “Plan”), was issued 43,750 shares of common stock of the Issuer in connection with investments of debt securities of the Issuer totaling $350,000 in 2004.  Mr. Marek, the Plan and Ted Marek Family Trust (the “Trust”) began purchasing shares of the Issuer in the open market beginning in December 2006.  Mr. Marek and his wife, Beverly A. Marek, are the trustees of the Trust.  Personal funds were used for all investments and purchases.

During 2007 and through October 24, 2008, Mr. Marek, the Plan and the Trust purchased a total of 1,918,406 shares from the Issuer for $787,965 in private placements.

During 2007 and through October 24, 2008, the Issuer has issued Mr. Marek a total of 75,000 shares for his service as a director.

Effective October 1, 2008 Mr. Marek was issued a common share purchase option entitling him to purchase up to 500,000 common shares at $0.50 per share until September 30, 2013.

Personal funds were used for all investments and purchases.


Item 4. 
Purpose of Transaction.

Mr. Marek became a director of the Issuer in January 2007 and an officer of the Issuer in October 2007.  The Issuer’s board of directors has determined that it is necessary for the Issuer to issue debt and/or equity securities to implement its plan of operations.  Mr. Marek, the Plan, and/or the Trust may participate in a private placement of such securities from time to time.

As a director, Mr. Marek tries to determine whether the persons serving as directors or management best serve the needs of the Issuer.  Accordingly, from time to time, Mr. Marek may propose a change to the Issuer’s board of directors and/or management in carrying out this duty.

A reverse split of the Issuer’s common stock on a 1 for 4 basis was effected in May 2008 and the common stock now bears CUSIP No. 83083D 20 6.

Except as described herein, Mr. Marek does not presently have any plan and is not considering any proposal that relates or would result in any of the actions enumerated in Item 4 of Schedule 13D.  Mr. Marek may form such a plan or proposal in the future.
