On September 2, 2008 the Fund acquired from The China Hand Fund I, LLC: (i) 705,993 shares of the Issuer’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock convertible into 70,599,300 shares of Common Stock, and (ii) a warrant to purchase 17,649,823 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.125 per share, for aggregate consideration of $10,000,000.

Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction.
 
Vicis, on behalf of the Fund, acquired the warrants and the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Issuer for investment purposes in the ordinary course of its business pursuant to specified investment objectives of the Fund.

In connection with a purchase of certain securities from the Issuer, The China Hand Fund I, LLC acquired the right to designate four (4) members of the Issuer’s board of directors. One of the four individuals designated by The China Hand Fund I, LLC to serve as a member of the Issuer’s board of directors was Mr. Shad Stastney, a member of Vicis. Information regarding Mr. Stastney and his experience and qualifications is provided below.

 
 

 
 
Mr. Stastney is the Chief Operating Officer and Head of Research for Vicis Capital, LLC, a company he jointly founded in 2004. 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, MDwerks, Inc, Medical Solutions Management, Inc. and Paragon Semitech USA, 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.

Except as set forth in this Item 4, Vicis has no present plan or proposal that relates 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 will continue to review this position based upon further developments.

As permitted by law, Vicis may purchase 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.
