This Amendment No. 7 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment”) is filed by the Reporting Persons (as defined below) pursuant to Rule 13d-2(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. This Amendment No. 7 to Schedule 13D amends and supplements:
• Schedule 13D, dated April 20, 2000, as amended by Schedule 13D/A (Amendment No. 1), dated December 8, 2003, by Schedule 13D/A (Amendment No. 2), dated November 18, 2008, by Schedule 13D/A (Amendment No. 3), dated February 6, 2009, by Schedule 13D/A (Amendment No. 4), dated September 11, 2009, by Schedule 13D/A (Amendment No. 5), dated December 2, 2009 and by Schedule 13D/A (Amendment No. 6), dated October 13, 2010, in each case as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Item 4. Purpose of Transactions.
The purpose of the transactions involving the shares of the Issuer was to reduce Hung Lay Si’s ownership of Common Shares to zero (see Item 5 below).
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
During the period January 19, 2011 through April 15, 2011, Hung Lay Si transferred all of the Common Shares owned by it to four separate unaffiliated entities. Prior thereto, Mr. Hinrichs repaid in full a debt that was owing to Hung Lay Si. With the repayment of that debt, the Reporting Persons’ shared dispositive power over shares owned by Mr. Hinrichs ceased. As of April 15, 2011, the Reporting Persons do not have sole or shared voting or dispositive power over any Common Shares.
