ITEM 4.

OWNERSHIP.

 

Provide the following information regarding the aggregate number and percentage of the class of securities of the issuer identified in Item 1.

 

 

(a)

Amount beneficially owned:

 

Subject to the Ownership Limitation (defined below), The Tail Wind Fund Ltd. (“Tail Wind”) owns a total of 2,590,000 shares of Common Stock, including 1,850,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of shares of the issuer’s Series F 10% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (“Preferred Shares”) issued to Tail Wind on June 12, 2006, and (ii) 740,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Warrants issued to Tail Wind on such date (“Warrants”).

 

In accordance with Rule 13d-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, because the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Reporting Person's Preferred Shares and Warrants are convertible and exercisable is limited, pursuant to the terms of such instruments, to that number of shares of Common Stock which would result in the Reporting Person having beneficial ownership of 9.9% of the total issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (the "Ownership Limitation"), the Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of any and all shares of Common Stock that would cause the Reporting Person's beneficial ownership to exceed the Ownership Limitation.

 

Therefore, in accordance with the Ownership Limitation, Tail Wind, based upon 13,509,607 shares of common stock outstanding, beneficially owns 1,484,407 shares of Common Stock and disclaims beneficial ownership of 1,105,593 shares of Common Stock.

 

 

(b)

Percent of class:

 

Tail Wind’s beneficial ownership of 1,484,407 shares of Common Stock constitutes 9.9% of all the outstanding shares of Common Stock, based upon 12,509,607 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of June 12, 2006 as reported to us by the issuer, plus 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock issued to two investors on or about June 14, 2006.

 

 

(c)

Number of shares as to which such person has:

 

 

(i)

Sole power to vote or to direct the vote

 

1,484,407

 

 

(ii)

Shared power to vote or to direct the vote

 

Not applicable.

 

 

(iii)
