The Closing occurred on May 7, 2015.  The information set forth in the May 4, 2015 Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference into this Item 1.01. On May 7, 2015, the Company issued a press release announcing the transactions disclosed above and a copy of which is attached herein as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

On May 7, 2015 the Company, the Investor and Mr. Yale Farar entered into an Escrow Agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company deposited 317,392 shares of Common Stock into an escrow account (the “Holdback Shares”) as security for certain indemnification obligations of the Company and Mr. Farar under the SPA in favor of the Investor.  The Holdback Shares will be held in an escrow account for a period of 12 months from the Closing, during which the Investor may be entitled, under certain circumstances, to offset any indemnifiable claims against the Holdback Shares.

The description of the SPA and the Escrow Agreement herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the SPA and the Escrow Agreement, copies of which are filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the May 4, 2015 Form 8-K and Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K, respectively, and are incorporated by reference herein.
 
Item 3.02.        Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
 
The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this report is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02.  The offer and sale of the Shares and Warrant under the SPA were made in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.  Such offer and sale were not conducted in connection with a public offering, and no public solicitation or advertisement was made or relied upon by the Investor in connection with the offering.
 
Item 5.01         Changes in Control of Registrant
 
As a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated under the SPA (the “Transactions”), the Investor acquired beneficial ownership of an aggregate of 21,150,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company, consisting of 15,250,000 shares Common Stock and a warrant to purchase an aggregate of 5,900,000 shares of Common Stock.  In addition, pursuant to the terms of the SPA, effective as of the Closing, (i) Mr. Yale Farar resigned his position as President of the Company; (ii) Mr. Gary Saderup resigned his positions as the Secretary of the Company and a director of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”); and (iii) Mr. Wallace was appointed to serve as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary and as a member of the Board.  As a result of the Transactions, the Investor beneficially owns approximately 86.7% of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company.  In addition, the Investor may acquire the Holdback Shares deposited in the escrow account under the Escrow Agreement in the event certain indemnification claims are triggered under the SPA.  The Investor is controlled by Gateway Advisors, Inc., which is the manager of the Investor (“Gateway”), and the President and sole stockholder of Gateway is Mr. Wallace.  As a result of the Transactions described above, a change in control of the Company has occurred.
 
The source of funds for the Purchase Price for the Shares and Warrant was the working capital of the Investor.   Currently there is no other agreement to effect further changes in control of the Company.  However, the Investor acquired the Shares and Warrant to facilitate an investment strategy in which shares of Common Stock of the Company may be used as acquisition currency by the Investor, along with cash, to acquire equity stake in other operating companies. Any resale and disposition of the Shares and the Warrant by the Investor in executing such strategy may result in further changes in control of the Company.
