EXPLANATORY NOTE

On March 20, 2013, the Company filed its original Form 8-K to report the events contained herein and therein. This Amendment No 1 to Form 8-K amends the original filing in its entirety.

Item 1.01. Entry of a Material Definitive Agreement.

Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On November 29, 2012, the Company disclosed that it entered into an Exclusive Investment Banking Agreement (“Banking Agreement”) with a prominent, New York investment banking firm (“Firm”). Under the Banking Agreement, the Firm agreed to provide a range of investment advisory services to the Company, including the introduction to potential lenders, investors and acquiring entities. In addition, on February 13, 2013, the Company disclosed that it signed a Term Sheet with the Firm to provide a bridge loan financing (“Bridge Loan”) for the Company with an anticipated closing date of February 22, 2013. The name of the Firm is John Thomas Financial (“John Thomas”), 14 Wall Street, 23rd Floor, New York, New York 10005, a FINRA/SEC registered broker/dealer.

 

On March 14, 2013, the Company and John Thomas completed a Termination Agreement and Mutual Release with an effective date of March 12, 2013 pursuant to which the parties terminated the Banking Agreement and granted mutual releases with respect to the Banking Agreement (including mutual release of all fees, expenses, stock purchase warrants or other compensation due under the Banking Agreement). In addition, John Thomas has agreed to return to the Company $20,000 as a good faith, partial refund of the $50,000 retainer previously paid by the Company. The $50,000 retainer was the sole consideration paid by the Company to John Thomas. As of the date of this filing, the Company also discloses that it had not closed the Bridge Loan transaction with the Firm.

 

On March 12, 2013, the Company entered into an engagement agreement with Source Capital Group, Inc. (“Source Capital”), 276 Post Road West, Westport Connecticut 06880. Pursuant to the agreement, Source Capital will act as the Company’s exclusive placement agent and investment banker during the term of the agreement. The Company agreed to pay Source Capital a fee of 3% of any proceeds received by the Company in connection with any financing. In addition, the Company agreed to issue to Source Capital 250,000 shares of its common stock.

Source Capital is a FINRA/SEC registered broker/dealer. The Company can not predict whether it or the broker dealer will be successful in raising funds or entering into any arrangement contemplated under the Agreement which may prove beneficial to the Company.
