Ownership

Provide the following information regarding the aggregate number and percentage of the class of securities of the issuer identified in Item 1.

 

(a)

Amount beneficially owned:   

 

 

(b)

Percent of class:  

 

 

Reporting Persons:

Covenant:                                         The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that Covenant owns beneficially, pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Act, is 95,454, which constitutes approximately 1.6% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

 

Baker:                                                               The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that Baker owns beneficially, pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Act, is 95,454, which constitutes approximately 1.6% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

 

Brock:                                                              The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that Covenant owns beneficially, pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Act, is 47,727, which constitutes approximately 0.8% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

 

Larrave:                                                     The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that Covenant owns beneficially, pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Act, is 95,454, which constitutes approximately 1.6% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

 

Charter:                                                      The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that Covenant owns beneficially, pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Act, is 47,727, which constitutes approximately 0.8% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

 

12



 

Barwel:                                                         The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that Covenant owns beneficially, pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Act, is 95,454, which constitutes approximately 1.6% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

 

Controlling Persons:

 

RHA:                                                                  Because of its position as general partner of Covenant, the aggregate number of shares of the Stock that RHA owns beneficially, pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Act, is 95,454, which constitutes approximately 1.6% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

 

CPE:                                                                       Because of its position as general partner of Charter, the aggregate number of shares of the Stock that CPE owns beneficially, pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Act, is 47,727, which constitutes approximately 0.8% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

 

SWC:                                                                 Because of its position as general partner of Barwel, the aggregate number of shares of the Stock that SWC owns beneficially, pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Act, is 95,454, which constitutes approximately 1.6% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

 

The calculation of the percentages of beneficial ownership of Common Stock set forth above are based upon 5,661,002 shares of Common Stock outstanding, as reported in the Company’s most recent filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and assume the conversion of the convertible promissory notes (which are convertible into shares of Common Stock) and the exercise of the warrants (which are exercisable for shares of Common Stock) held by the Reporting Persons. 

 

The determination of beneficial ownership of each of the Item 2 Persons is based solely on the current right of each Item 2 Person to acquire beneficial ownership of the number of shares of Common Stock set forth above as being beneficially owned by each Item 2 Person by the conversion of convertible promissory notes (which are convertible into shares of Common Stock) and the exercise of warrants (which are exercisable for shares of Common Stock) issued to each Reporting Person by the Company.

 

Each of the Reporting Persons is the beneficiary of a Guaranty made on July 9, 2002 by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Jason K. Wadzinski, pursuant to which Mr. Wadzinski agreed not to transfer any shares of capital stock of the Company that he owns without the prior written consent of certain individuals, including Robert H. Alpert, a principal of Charter, acting on behalf of each of the Reporting Persons.  In furtherance of his obligations under each Guaranty, Mr. Wadzinski entered into a Post-Closing Agreement, dated July 9, 2002, with Mr. Alpert (acting as representative of each of the Reporting Persons), under which Mr. Wadzinski acknowledged his obligation and agreement not to transfer any shares of capital stock of the Company that he owns without Mr. Alpert’s prior approval.  As of March 12, 2003, Mr. Wadzinski owned 3,658,508 shares of Common Stock (as reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10KSB filed for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002).  A copy of each Guaranty and the Post-Closing Agreement are attached hereto as Exhibits A through G.  Each of the Reporting Persons affirmatively disclaims that the terms or conditions of either the Guaranty to which each Reporting Person is a beneficiary or the Post-Closing Agreement require Mr. Wadzinski to be considered as a member of a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) with the Reporting Persons.
