Legal Matters

From time to time, we may become involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business. Other than as set forth below, no legal proceedings, government actions, administrative actions, investigations or claims are currently pending against us or involve us which, in the opinion of our management, could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition.

On October 28, 2011, Mr. Robert Weinstein, our former Chief Financial Officer, filed a Demand for Arbitration with the New York office of the American Arbitration Association seeking unpaid wages and benefits that Mr. Weinstein is claiming he is owed under the terms of his employment agreement with us. In his Demand for Arbitration, Mr. Weinstein asserts that he is entitled to recovery of approximately $511,000 from our Company.

On September 8, 2011, an action entitled Cooper Electric Supply Co. v. Southside Electric, Inc. was filed in the Superior Court of New Jersey. We were served in October 2011. The plaintiff asserts damages in the amount of approximately $23,700 for non-payment for goods supplied by the plaintiff to Southside. Management believes the resolution of this matter will not materially affect the Company's financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

There are currently no proceedings in which any of our current directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial stockholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to us.

Issuance of Common Stock to Green RG

Pursuant to the license and marketing agreement that we entered into with Green RG, we may be required to issue to Green RG between 10 million and 30 million restricted shares of our common stock, based on the achievements of certain performance thresholds. We may agree with certain of our existing stockholders to issue such shares to Green RG, however, there are no formal agreements in place to obtain such shares nor can we provide any assurance that any of our existing stockholders will agree to provide such shares. Furthermore, in light of the current state of the agreement, we do not expect that we will be issuing any additional shares to Green RG as a result of this transaction. As of September 30, 2011, no shares have been issued to Green RG.
