Section 5 Corporate Governance and Management
Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws

Section 8- Other Events
Item 8.01- Other Events

In accordance with the authority granted to it by the Company’s stockholders at the November 4, 2011 special meeting, the Board of Directors has authorized the implementation of a 1:25 reverse split of the Company’s outstanding common stock.   As of December 27, 2011, a total of 1,041,001,331 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding.  As a result of the reverse stock split to be consummated on or before January 15, 2012, such outstanding shares will be reduced to a total of 41,640,053 shares of common stock.  The reverse stock split will not affect the Company’s 5.0 billion shares of common stock authorized by its certificate of incorporation.

In connection with the reverse stock split, the Company shall file a Certificate of Amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect the split.
 
We want to remind our stockholders that you do not need to return your stock certificates.  Each certificate shall automatically represent that number of shares of common stock available after the reverse stock split.  For example, if you own 25 shares of our common stock, immediately after the split you will automatically own 1 shares of our common stock.
 
Our decision to implement a reverse stock split is, in part, pursuant to our obligations under the separate exchange agreements we entered into on November 28, 2011 with each of the investors of the private financing we closed in January 2011.  The reverse stock split also helps us maintain compliance with the OTCQX rules.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
 
On January 3, 2012, we issued a press release announcing our plans to implement the reverse stock split.  A copy of the press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
