On December 30, 2010, Steve M. Hanni advised the registrant’s Board of Directors (“Board”) that he would no longer be able to serve as the registrant’s Chief Financial Officer (principal financial and principal accounting officer).  He further advised the Board that his resignation was to be effective immediately.  


The Board appointed Thomas (“Tommy”) E. Auger to fill the vacancy resulting from Mr. Hanni’s resignation.  Mr. Auger will serve as the Chief Financial Officer (principal financial and principal accounting officer) of the registrant, effective December 30, 2010.


Since August 2010, Mr. Auger has been engaged as a consultant on accounting and financial operations for private companies and senior management through Advanced CFO Solutions, L.C. (“ACFOS”), in Salt Lake City, Utah.  From August 2008 until August 2010, he was the Chief Financial Officer of Red Ledges Land Development, Inc., a private developer of recreational and vacation properties in Utah.  From September 2004 until August 2008, he was vice president of finance and administration for Talisker Corporation, a private company engaged in developing, owning and operating recreation properties and resorts in North America.  From 1994 until 2004, Mr. Auger was an accountant with the international accounting firms Deloitte and Touche (1994-1995), KPMG LLP (1995 to 1999 and 2002 to 2004) and Arthur Andersen (1999 to 2002).  Mr. Auger is a CPA licensed in Utah and Oklahoma and a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the Utah Association of Certified Public Accountants (“UACPA”).  He is a member of the UACPA’s Special Member Task Force and also served as the Committee Chair of the ProNet Council for many years.  He received an MS in Accounting in 1994 from Oklahoma City University and a BS in Accounting in May 1993 from the same institution.


Mr. Auger’s services to the registrant are facilitated through ACFOS.  The registrant will pay ACFOS a monthly retainer of $5,000 for Mr. Auger’s services in the capacities indicated above.  The registrant also paid a one-time retainer of $3,000 on December 29, 2010, at the time the agreement with Mr. Auger and ACFOS was entered into.
