SECTION 2 – FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 2.03.  Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation of a Registrant

On February 2, 2012, the Registrant commenced its Bridge Loan financing transaction seeking up to $4 million of unsecured, general obligation, short-term debt when it entered into a Note to borrow $1 million from its Chairman and CEO, John R. McKowen.  The Note provides for interest at the rate of 12% per annum and is due on or before October 31, 2012.  Interest only is payable monthly until the due date, at which time all principal and any unpaid interest are due and payable in full.  The loan may be pre-paid in full without penalty at any time.  As additional consideration, the Registrant was required to reimburse all of Mr. McKowen’s expenses to borrow the funds necessary to make the loan to the Registrant in the approximate amount of $16,300.  The Bridge Loan financing provides for the issuance of a stock incentive to each lender in the amount of 1 share for each $10 loaned or 100,000 share for $1,000,000.  Mr. McKowen was required to have this stock incentive issued directly to his lenders.  The terms of the Note were approved by the independent directors as in the best interests of the Registrant.

The Registrant is privately soliciting additional, unaffiliated lenders, who are “qualified investors,” to participate in the Bridge Loan on terms substantially similar to the terms of the Note.
