Item 3.   Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
 
The Fund previously acquired 1,368,247 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) and a warrant to purchase 9,577,737 shares of Common Stock (the “2008 Warrant”) from a private party.  On May 28, 2009, the Fund received an additional 177,936 shares of Series A Preferred Stock as a dividend pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designations of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock Certificate of Designations”).  The terms of the Series A Preferred Stock Certificate of Designations and of each of the Warrants contain conversion caps that prevent the Fund from exercising or converting, as the case may be, an amount of such Warrant or Series A Preferred Stock to the extent that the Fund would beneficially own greater than 4.9% of the outstanding Common Stock.

On April 30, 2009 the Fund acquired 1,094,061 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) and a warrant to purchase 7,814,719 shares of Common Stock (the “2009 Warrant” and, together with the 2008 Warrant, the “Warrants”) from a private party.  The Fund has acquired an additional 5,711,031 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock in the aggregate as dividends on the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock Certificate of Designations (the “Series B Preferred Stock Certificate of Designations”). 

On June 19, 2009, pursuant to a Closing Escrow Agreement dated April 30, 2009 between the Issuer and China Hand Fund, LLC, the escrow agent delivered 22,327 shares of Series B Preferred Stock to the Fund, as assignee of China Hand Fund, LLC, because the Issuer failed to meet certain income targets for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009.

Each share of the Series A Preferred Stock and of the Series B Preferred Stock is convertible, subject to adjustment, into 35 shares of Common Stock, such that 54,116,405 shares of Common Stock underlie the Series A Preferred Stock (subject to the limitations imposed by the applicable conversion cap) and 39,073,580 shares of Common Stock underlie the Series B Preferred Stock.

On September 14, 2010, the Fund and SLS each entered into an agreement with a private party whereby the Fund and SLS each acquired from such private party: (i) 9.365 shares of the Issuer's Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series C Preferred Stock”), (ii) 1 share of the Issuer's Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series D Preferred Stock”), and (iii) certain obligations and rights under the Backstop Agreement (as defined below), for a purchase price of $7,500,000 each. In connection with the acquisition of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, China Hand Fund, LLC and the Issuer entered into a Backstop Agreement, dated September 14, 2010 (the “Backstop Agreement”), and China Hand Fund, LLC subsequently assigned certain of its rights and obligations relating to the Backstop Agreement to the Fund and to SLS.  Pursuant to such assignment, the Fund and SLS have collectively agreed to provide up to $20,100,000 in additional financing to the Issuer if the Issuer is unable to raise enough capital to complete the acquisition of Beijing Century Dadi Gas Engineering Co., Ltd. and Zhoulu Dadi Gas Co. Ltd.  The Issuer's Series C Preferred Stock currently converts on a 1-for-5,647,011 basis, such that 52,884,258 shares of Common Stock underlie the Series C Preferred Stock owned by Vicis and 52,884,258 shares of Common Stock underlie the Series C Preferred Stock owned by SLS.  The Series C Preferred Stock automatically converts into Common Stock upon the earlier of: (i) May 31, 2011 or (ii) the Issuer's acquisition of at least 70% of the equity interests in Beijing Century Dadi Gas Engineering Co., Ltd.  The number of shares of the Issuer's Common Stock issuable upon conversion of each share of Series D Preferred Stock is equal to: (219,605,986*(.72/.28) - A - B)/4, whereby A is equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Series C Preferred Stock may be converted on the date the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock is issued (the “Issuance Date) plus any shares of Common Stock into which shares of Series C Preferred Stock which may be converted upon conversion of any convertible promissory notes convertible into such stock outstanding on the Issuance Date, and whereby B is equal to the number of shares of Common Stock, plus the number of shares of Common Stock into which any convertible preferred stock, debt or other convertible securities are convertible, issued to new investors between October 1, 2010 and April 30, 2011, which result in gross proceeds to the Issuer which do not exceed $54,500,000.  The Series D Preferred Stock automatically converts into Common Stock immediately after the conversion of all Series C Preferred Stock and upon the latest to occur of: (i) May 31, 2011 or (ii) the date upon which the Issuer completes the acquisition of at least 70% of the equity interests in Beijing Century Dadi Gas Engineering Co., Ltd.  Because the Series D Preferred Stock conversion ratio cannot be determined at this time, it is unknown how many shares of Common Stock are underlying the Series D Preferred Stock and no shares of Common Stock underlying the Series D Preferred Stock owned by Vicis and the Series D Preferred Stock owned by SLS have been included as shares owned by Vicis or by SLS, respectively, on this Schedule.

 
 

 


On September 14, 2010, the Issuer issued a Convertible Promissory Note to each of the Fund and SLS, each having an original principal amount of $1,500,000 due October 15, 2010 (each a “Note” and collectively, the “Notes”).  The terms of the Notes provide that in the event the Issuer repays the original principal amount of a Note in full by October 15, 2010, the holder of such Note will be issued 1.67 shares of the Issuer's Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, and that in the event the Issuer does not repay the original principal amount of a Note in full by October 15, 2010, such Note will automatically convert into 3.75 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock.  As a result, assuming the Issuer timely repays the original principal amount in full, the Fund and SLS will each be deemed to beneficially own an additional 9,430,508 shares of Common Stock underlying the Series C Preferred Stock acquired upon such timely repayment.

As a result of the transactions described above, when the 5,711,031 shares of Common Stock previously acquired by the Fund are aggregated with the 39,073,580 shares of Common Stock underlying the Series B Preferred Stock and the 62,314,767 shares of Common Stock underlying the Series C Preferred Stock, Vicis may be deemed to beneficially own 107,099,378 shares of Common Stock.

 
 

 


As a result of the transactions described above, SLS may be deemed to beneficially own 62,314,767 shares of Common Stock.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.
 
Vicis, on behalf of the Fund, acquired the securities of the Issuer described in this Schedule as held by the Fund for investment purposes in the ordinary course of its business pursuant to specified investment objectives of the Fund.  SLS acquired the securities of the Issuer described in this Schedule as held by SLS for investment purposes.

On July 15, 2009, Mr. Shad Stastney was appointed to the Issuer's board of directors.  Mr. Stastney is the Chief Operating Officer and Head of Research for Vicis Capital LLC, a company he jointly founded in 2004, and a member of SLS. Mr. Stastney also jointly founded Victus Capital Management LLC in 2001. From 1998 through 2001, Mr. Stastney worked with the corporate equity derivatives origination group of Credit Suisse First Boston, eventually becoming a Director and Head of the Hedging and Monetization Group, a joint venture between derivatives and equity capital markets. In 1997, he joined Credit Suisse First Boston’s then-combined convertible/equity derivative origination desk. From 1994 to 1997, he was an associate at the law firm of Cravath, Swaine and Moore in New York, in their tax and corporate groups, focusing on derivatives. He graduated from the University of North Dakota in 1990 with a B.A. in Political Theory and History, and from the Yale Law School in 1994 with a J.D. degree focusing on corporate and tax law. Mr. Stastney is currently a director of The Amacore Group, Inc., Ambient Corporation, China Hydroelectric Corporation, China New Energy Group Company and Master Silicon Carbide Industries, Inc.

Vicis and representatives of Vicis and the Fund have had discussions with senior management of the Issuer and may in the future have such discussions concerning ways in which the Issuer could maximize shareholder value.

SLS and representatives of SLS have had discussions with senior management of the Issuer and may in the future have such discussions concerning ways in which the Issuer could maximize shareholder value.

Except as set forth in this Item 4, neither Reporting Person has any present plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D of the Act, but each Reporting Person will continue to review this position based upon further developments.

As permitted by law, each Reporting Person may purchase additional shares of Common Stock or other securities convertible, exchangeable or exercisable into Common Stock or dispose of any or all of such securities from time to time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise, depending upon future evaluation of the Issuer and upon other developments, including general economic and stock market conditions.

 
 

 


 Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer
 
 
(a)
The Fund, for which Vicis Capital LLC acts as investment advisor, directly holds 107,099,378 of the shares reported on this Schedule.  Vicis Capital LLC may be deemed to beneficially own such 107,099,378 shares within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, by virtue of the voting and dispositive power over such shares granted by Vicis Capital Master Fund to Vicis Capital LLC.  The voting and dispositive power granted to Vicis Capital LLC by Vicis Capital Master Fund may be revoked at any time. Vicis disclaims beneficial ownership of any shares reported on this Schedule.    The foregoing 107,099,378 shares of Common Stock represent approximately 51.4% of the Issuer’s outstanding Common Stock (based upon 107,070,281 shares of Common Stock outstanding at August 10, 2010, as reported by the Issuer in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A filed with the SEC on August 17, 2010, 39,073,580 shares of Common Stock underlying the Series B Preferred Stock and 62,314,767 shares of Common Stock underlying the Series C Preferred Stock owned by the Fund).
     
    SLS directly holds 62,314,767 of the shares reported on this Schedule.  The foregoing 62,314,767 shares of Common Stock represent approximately 36.8% of the Issuer’s outstanding Common Stock (based upon 107,070,281 shares of Common Stock outstanding at August 10, 2010, as reported by the Issuer in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A filed with the SEC on August 17, 2010, 62,314,767 shares of Common Stock underlying the Series C Preferred Stock owned by SLS).  SLS disclaims beneficial ownership of any shares held by the Fund reported on this Schedule.

The undersigned further agree that any amendments to such statement on Schedule 13D shall be filed jointly on behalf of each of them without the necessity of entering into additional joint filing agreements.

The undersigned further agree that each party hereto is responsible for timely filing of such statement on Schedule 13D and any amendments thereto, and for the completeness and accuracy of the information concerning such party contained therein; provided that no party is responsible for the completeness or accuracy of the information concerning any other party, unless such party knows or has reason to believe that such information is inaccurate.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Andrew Comito, Vicis Capital LLC Compliance Officer, is hereby authorized to act as a representative of the signatories hereof for purposes of effecting any Schedule 13D filing or amendment thereof, or any other SEC ownership filing which may relate hereto.
