Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
     On October 26, 2007, Platinum consummated the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Tandem Energy Corporation, a Colorado corporation (“TEC”), then a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tandem. As part of the consideration for the purchase of the assets, Platinum issued 7,692,308 shares of its common stock to TEC. On March 11, 2008, TEC was dissolved by merger into Tandem. Tandem, the surviving corporation in the merger, acquired the assets of TEC which consisted of 7,692,308 shares of Platinum’s common stock. On June 24, 2008, Tandem dissolved under the laws of the State of Nevada. As part of Tandem’s dissolution, the 7,692,308 shares of Platinum’s common stock held by Tandem will

 


 

be distributed to its shareholders in a liquidating distribution, which includes 1,410,650 shares of Platinum’s common stock that will be distributed to the Reporting Person.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
     The Reporting Person will acquire 1,410,650 shares of Platinum’s common stock following Tandem’s dissolution and liquidating distribution.
          The Reporting Person does not have any present plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any of the following (although the Reporting Person reserves the right to develop such plans or proposals): (i) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of Platinum, or the disposition of securities of Platinum; (ii) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving Platinum, or any of its subsidiaries; (iii) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of Platinum or any of its subsidiaries; (iv) any change in the present board of directors or management of Platinum, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any vacancies existing on the board; (v) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of Platinum; (vi) any other material change in Platinum’s business or corporate structure; (vii) any other material changes in Platinum’s charter or bylaws or other actions which may impede the acquisition of the control of Platinum by any persons; (viii) causing a class of securities of Platinum to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted on an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; (ix) a class of equity securities of Platinum becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act; or (x) any actions similar to any of those enumerated above.

  (e)   Inapplicable.
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
     In early March, 2005, Tandem, whose board was comprised of one director, Lyle Mortensen, issued 20,000,000 restricted shares of its common stock to Mr. Mortensen. Some of these shares were subsequently transferred by Mr. Mortensen to others including principals of TEC and Shamrock Energy Corporation, a Texas corporation, Tim G. Culp, Dyke Culp and the Reporting Person, in late March, 2005. Mr. Mortensen resigned as a director and officer of Tandem in late March, 2005. Tandem’s board subsequently cancelled all of the 20,000,000 shares on the grounds that the stock was issued without lawful consideration. All of the cancelled shares were returned to Tandem, except for 2,878,000 shares held by Mr. Mortensen. Tandem believes that all of the shares held by Mr. Mortensen are null and void and has instructed its transfer agent to place a hold on the stock certificates held by Mr. Mortensen. On May 17, 2006, Tandem received notification from Arthur W. Tifford claiming to be a “holder in due course” of a certificate representing 2,700,000 shares of Tandem common stock previously held by Mr. Mortensen and a demand that such shares be reissued.
     On May 23, 2006, Tandem filed a lawsuit in Nevada District Court, Cause No. CV06-01215, Washoe County, Nevada, styled Tandem Energy Holdings, Inc., v. Aritex Consultants, Inc., Arthur W. Tifford, P.A., Arthur W. Tifford, Ronald G. Williams, Lyle J. Mortensen, and Manhattan Transfer Co., against Tandem’s transfer agent, Arthur W. Tifford, P.A., Arthur W. Tifford, individually, and three other defendants and the court rendered a judgment that the certificate evidencing the 2,700,000 shares was invalid and void and directed Tandem’s transfer agent to void the certificate evidencing the 2,700,000 shares if presented for transfer, and enjoined the transfer agent from transferring the certificate if so presented.
     Arthur W. Tifford, P.A. filed a competing lawsuit against Tandem and Platinum in the Florida Circuit Court, Cause No.06-11547CA06, Miami-Dade County Florida, styled Arthur W. Tifford, P.A. v. Tandem Energy Holdings, Inc. and Platinum Energy Holdings, Inc., on or about June 14, 2006, seeking a declaration by the court that Tandem’s cancellation of the 2,700,000 shares was improper and that Arthur W. Tifford, P.A. was the rightful owner of such shares, and an injunction prohibiting Tandem and Platinum from taking any action in detriment to its alleged rights in and to the shares. Tandem successfully challenged the jurisdiction of the Florida Court and obtained an order dismissing the complaint filed by Arthur W. Tifford, P.A.

 


 

     In a separate lawsuit filed by Tandem on September 25, 2006, in the 67th Judicial District Court of Tarrant County, Texas, Case No., 067-220329-06, styled Tandem Energy Holdings, Inc. v. Aritex Consultants, Inc. and Lyle J. Mortensen (the “Tarrant County Case”), against its former director Lyle J. Mortensen and Mr. Mortensen’s corporate affiliate, Aritex Consultants Inc., Tandem is seeking a declaration by the court that the certificates representing the 2,878,000 shares issued to Mr. Mortensen and subsequently transferred to Aritex Consultants, Inc., are void, that the certificates were properly cancelled by Tandem and that the transfer agent is authorized to cancel and destroy the certificates. In addition, Tandem is seeking a temporary and permanent injunction against Mr. Mortensen, Aritex Consultants Inc. and any other person in possession of the certificates prohibiting any transfer or other disposition of the certificates and ordering that they be cancelled.
     On June 12, 2007, Arthur W. Tifford, P.A. filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas, Midland-Odessa Division, in Cause No. MO-07-CV-049, styled Arthur W. Tifford, P.A. v. Tandem Energy Corp., Tandem Energy Holdings, Inc., Manhattan Transfer Registrar Co., Todd M. Yocham, Tim G. Culp, Jack Chambers and Michael Cunningham (the “Western District Case”), against Tandem, TEC, Tim G. Culp, Todd M. Yocham, the Reporting Person, Michael Cunningham, and Tandem’s transfer agent alleging conversion and conspiracy to convert with respect to the certificate representing the 2,700,000 shares. Tandem, TEC and the other defendants in this lawsuit were granted a Motion for Summary Judgment in their favor. Arthur W. Tifford, P.A., has since filed its Notice of Appeal with the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, appealing the Western District Court’s grant of the defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment.
     If the ultimate disposition of either or both the Tarrant County Case and the Western District Case are adverse to the interests of the Reporting Person, the Reporting Person’s ownership of the 1,410,650 shares of Platinum’s common stock reported herein could be reduced by up to a maximum of 266,716 shares.
