Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders

Effective December 17, 2009, our Board of Directors authorized the sale and issuance of up to 170,000 shares of Series A-13 Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A-13”). On December 23, 2009, we filed a Certificate of Designation, Preferences and Rights for the Series A-13 with the Florida Secretary of State. The Series A-13 has a coupon of 8% per annum and an assigned value of $10.00 per preferred share. Prior to certain changes discussed below, Series A-13 had a conversion rate of $3.00 per common share and dividends were to be declared quarterly but were payable at the time of any conversion of A-13, in cash or at our option in the form of our common shares, using the greater of (i) $3.00 per share or (ii) the average closing bid price of a common share for the five trading days immediately preceding the conversion.  Series A-13 dividends are cumulative and must be fully paid by us prior to the payment of any dividend on our common shares.

Prior to certain changes discussed below, any shares of Series A-13 that were still outstanding as of December 31, 2011 would automatically convert into our common shares. Series A-13 may also be converted before that date at our option, provided that the closing bid price of our common shares has been at least $9.00 per share, on each of the twenty (20) trading days ending on the third business day prior to the date on which the notice of conversion is given. Series A-13 was subordinate to Series A-12 (shares of which are no longer outstanding) but is senior to Series A-14 13 Convertible Preferred Stock and all other preferred share classes that may be issued by us. Except as explicitly required by applicable law, the holders of Series A-13 shall not be entitled to vote on any matters as to which holders of our common shares are entitled to vote. Holders of Series A-13 are not entitled to registration rights.

The 35,000 shares of Series A-13 currently issued and outstanding are held by CCJ Trust (“CCJ”). CCJ is a trust for the adult children of Mr. Charles Johnston, one of our directors, and he disclaims any beneficial ownership interest in CCJ. In conjunction with and in consideration of a January 2011 note transaction entered into by us with CCJ, it was agreed that certain terms of the Series A-13 would be modified as follows - the conversion rate to common shares, as well as the minimum conversion rate for payment of dividends in common shares, will be $2.00 per share, the maturity date will be December 31, 2012 and dividends will be paid quarterly, in cash or, at our option, in unregistered shares. In addition it was agreed that $28,000 in Series A-13 dividends for calendar 2010 would be paid by issuance of 14,000 unregistered common shares, using the minimum conversion rate of $2.00 per share.
 
All of the above securities were offered and sold without such offers and sales being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (together with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") promulgated thereunder, the "Securities Act"), in reliance on an exemption therefrom.
