Item 4 Ownership.

 

Reference is hereby made to Items 5-9 and 11 of pages 2-5 of this Schedule 13G, which Items are incorporated by reference herein.

 

The securities to which this Schedule relates (the “Securities”) are owned by Seaside 88, LP, a Florida limited partnership (“Seaside”), for which Seaside 88 Advisors, LLC serves as general partner.  William J. Ritger and Denis M. O’Donnell, as managing members of the general partner of Seaside, may therefore be deemed to beneficially own the Securities owned by Seaside for the purposes of Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”), insofar as they may be deemed to have the power to direct the voting or disposition of those Securities.

 

Neither the filing of this Schedule nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any of Seaside 88 Advisors, LLC, Mr. Ritger or Dr. O’Donnell is, for any other purpose, the beneficial owner of any of the Securities, and each of Seaside 88 Advisors, LLC, Mr. Ritger and Dr. O’Donnell disclaims beneficial ownership as to the Securities, except to the extent of his or its pecuniary interests therein.

 

Under the definition of “beneficial ownership” in Rule 13d-3 under the Act, it is also possible that the members of Seaside might be deemed the “beneficial owners” of some or all of the Securities insofar as they may be deemed to share the power to direct the voting or disposition of the Securities.  Neither the filing of this Schedule nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any of such individuals is, for any purpose, the beneficial owner of any of the Securities, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed.

 

The calculation of the number of shares owned includes 3,196,310 shares currently owned by Seaside. Seaside also has the right to purchase up to an additional 2,000,000 shares within 60 days of the date hereof pursuant to a common stock purchase warrant.

 

The calculation of percentage of beneficial ownership in Item 11 of pages 2-5 was derived from the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 16, 2012, in which the Issuer stated that the number of shares of its common stock outstanding as of November 19, 2012 was 90,458,897 shares.

 

Item 5 Ownership of Five Percent or Less of a Class.
  Not applicable.

 

7
 

 

Item 6 Ownership of More Than Five Percent on Behalf of Another Person.
  Not applicable.
   
Item 7 Identification and Classification of the Subsidiary which Acquired the Security Being Reported On by the Parent Holding Company.
  Not applicable.
   
Item 8 Identification and Classification of Members of the Group.
  Not applicable.
   
Item 9 Notice of Dissolution of Group.
  Not applicable.
   
Item 10 Certification.

 

  By signing below I certify that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, the securities referred to above were not acquired and are not held for the purpose of or with the effect of changing or influencing the control of the issuer of the securities and were not acquired and are not held in connection with or as a participant in any transaction having that purpose or effect.
