Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
As of December 31, 2010, Mr. Cline submitted a redemption request to YA Global Investments (U.S.), LP (“YA Global”), a private equity fund, for funds previously invested by the Reporting Persons with YA Global. On January 3, 2011, Mr. Cline received a letter from YA Global informing him that the redemption request would be satisfied through an in-kind distribution of securities held by YA Global (the “In-Kind Distribution”). Securities received by the Reporting Persons pursuant to the In-Kind Distribution were valued by YA Global as of the close of business on December 31, 2010 at $420,000, and included, among other securities received by the Reporting Persons, 375 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), of the Issuer valued by YA Global at $375,000.

Item 5.  
Interest in Securities of the Issuer
The information set forth or incorporated in Items 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
(a) Based on information provided by the Issuer, on January 6, 2011, 25,678,877 shares of Common Stock were outstanding as of December 31, 2010. The Reporting Persons own 375 shares of the Preferred Stock, which is convertible into Common Stock at the request of the holder pursuant to the Certificate of Designation of the Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designation”).
The Certificate of Designation provides that each share of the Preferred Stock is convertible into Common Stock of the Issuer equal to the quotient of the liquidation amount divided by the conversion price. The liquidation amount is equal to one thousand dollars ($1,000) per share of Preferred Stock. The conversion price is equal to, at the option of the holder, the lesser of (i) fifty cents ($0.50) or (ii) 97% of the lowest closing bid price of the Common Stock for the one hundred twenty-five (125) trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion, as quoted by Bloomberg LP. The Certificate of Designation further provides that no holder of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert the Preferred Stock to the extent that such conversion would cause the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such holder to exceed 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock following such conversion (which provision may be waived by such holder by written notice from such holder to the Issuer, which notice shall be effective sixty-one (61) days after the date of such notice).
Assuming a conversion price of $0.0582, if the Preferred Stock were to be converted as of the date hereof, the Reporting Persons would own 6,443,299 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer which would represent approximately 20.1% of the total shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time. However, as noted above, the Certificate of Designation prohibits the Reporting Persons from converting the Preferred Stock to the extent such conversion would result in the Reporting Persons, beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.
(b) The Preferred Stock has voting rights on an as converted basis together with the Common Stock shareholders and as otherwise provided under the laws of the State of Delaware. Mr. Cline, as the General Partner of JMC, has the sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the Preferred Stock reported pursuant to this Schedule 13D.
(c) Other than as disclosed in this Schedule 13D none of the Reporting Persons has effected any transaction in the Preferred Stock during the past 60 days.
(d) The Reporting Persons do not know of any person other than the Reporting Persons who has the power to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the shares described in paragraph (a).
(e) Not applicable.
Item 6.  
Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer
The information set forth or incorporated in Item 3 is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
To the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, except as described herein, the Reporting Persons do not have any contract, arrangement, understanding or relationship (legal or otherwise) with any person with respect to securities of the Issuer, including, but not limited to transfer or voting of any such securities, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loans or option agreements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or losses or the giving or withholding of proxies.
