Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

On June 30, 2005, Rising Water Capital, A.G. (“RWC”), an investment fund in which QAT Investments SA (“QAT Investments”) holds a 51.3% ownership interest (Reporting Person serves as Chief Executive Officer, on the Management Board and holds a 6.07% ownership interest in QAT Investments through Reporting Person’s 33% ownership interest in Amelia & Associates SA (“Amelia”) which holds am 18.4% ownership interest in QAT Investments), entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) whereby RWC agreed to invest $7,837,896 in the Issuer in exchange for 195,947,395 shares of Common Stock (the “RWC Shares”). Because the Issuer did not have an adequate number of authorized, but unissued, shares of Common Stock available at such time, RWC was only issued 100 million shares of the RWC Shares (before proportional adjustments to reflect the 25 for 1 reverse split (the “Reverse Split”) of Issuer’s Common Stock). The balance of the RWC Shares was issued pursuant to the Settlement Agreement (defined hereinafter).

On December 15, 2005 the Issuer entered into a $3.5 million convertible promissory note (the “$3.5 million Note”) with RWC. The $3.5 million Note was convertible into 100 million shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock (before proportional adjustments to reflect the Reverse Split). On May 26, 2006, the Issuer entered into a $3.0 million convertible promissory note (the “$3.0 million Note”) with RWC, convertible into approximately 42.8 million shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock (before proportional adjustments to reflect the Reverse Split).

On October 30, 2006, Issuer entered into a settlement agreement with RWC whereby issuer approved approximately 258.5 million shares (before proportional adjustments for the Reverse Split) of Common Stock for issuance to RWC as compensation for losses and potential losses related to the alleged breach of certain representations and warranties made by the Issuer in the Stock Purchase Agreement (the “October 2006 Agreement”). At that time, however, Issuer lacked the requisite shares of authorized, but unissued, Common Stock and the shares due RWC pursuant to the October 2006 Agreement were not issued to RWC.

In December 2006, Amelia purchased 349,334 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Amelia Shares”) at a price of $0.9375 per share. At the time of the purchase of the Amelia Shares, the Company did not have the requisite number of authorized, but unissued shares of common stock; therefore, Amelia did not receive these until June 11, 2008.

Pursuant to the terms of a Settlement Agreement dated May 13, 2008 (the “Settlement Agreement”) by and between RWC and the Issuer, RWC agreed to convert both the $3.5 million Note and the $3.0 million Note into shares of Issuer’s Common Stock as soon as practicable after the effectiveness of the Reverse Split. Additionally, the Issuer agreed to distribute to RWC the 10,341,855 shares due pursuant to the October 2006 Agreement (after reflecting the Reverse Split) as well as the balance of the RWC Shares which consisted of 3,837,895 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock (after reflecting the Reverse Split) as soon as practicable after the effectiveness of the Reverse Split. The $3.5 million Note, including accrued interest, was converted into 5,017,007 shares of Common Stock (at a conversion price of one share for each $0.875 owed to reflect the Reverse Split). The $3.0 million Note, including accrued interest, was converted into 3,380,276 shares of Common Stock (at a conversion price of one share for each $1.05 owed to reflect the Reverse Split). Additionally, upon conversion of the $3.0 million Note, the Issuer agreed to make an incentive payment to RWC, commensurate with any fees paid in connection with a financing, pro rata, based upon the aggregate amount raised in such financing, whether equity or debt, of at least $1.0 million (the “Incentive Payment”).

Following the Reverse Split, on June 11, 2008, the balance of the RWC Shares, the shares of Common Stock due RWC pursuant to the conversions of the $3.5 million Note and the $3.0 million Note (according to the terms of the Settlement Agreement) and the shares of Common Stock owed RWC pursuant to the October 2006 Agreement, were issued to RWC. In addition, the Amelia Shares were issued to Amelia in their entirety.

On August 14, 2008, Issuer’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved for issuance 1,175,744 shares of Common Stock to Steven van der Velden, Issuer’s Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer and 549,888 shares of Common Stock to Issuer’s General Manager – Europe, Mark Nije. On September 26, 2008, 200,000 of the shares of Common Stock to which Mr. van der Velden was entitled and 167,616 shares of the Common Stock to which Mr. Nije was entitled, were issued to QAT Investments.

On February 3, 2009, 23,982 shares of Common Stock were issued to RWC as part of the Incentive Payment. Additionally, RWC was due approximately $451,915 as part of the Incentive Payment. On March 18, 2009, RWC was issued warrants to purchase 338,029 shares of Issuer’s Common Stock at $1.05 per share and exercisable as of August 18, 2008 and having an expiration date of August 18, 2013 (the “RWC $1.05 Warrants”), warrants to purchase 338,029 shares of Issuer’s Common Stock at $1.26 per share and exercisable as of August 18, 2008 and having an expiration date of August 18, 2013 (the “RWC $1.26 Warrants”) and warrants to purchase 169,015 shares of Issuer’s Common Stock at $1.47 per share and exercisable as of August 18, 2008 and having an expiration date of August 18, 2013 (the “RWC $1.47 Warrants”, and collectively with the RWC $1.05 Warrants and the RWC $1.26 Warrants, the “RWC Warrants”) as part of the Incentive Payment.

The Issuer issued 16,667 shares of Common Stock to each of Quercus Management Group NV (“QMG”), a wholly-owned entity of QAT Investments and Amelia, for acting as co-placement agents in the Issuer’s private offering of securities (the “Offering”). Additionally, and as part of QMG’s compensation for acting as placement agent in the Offering, QMG was to be issued warrants to purchase Issuer’s Common Stock; however, through a contractual arrangement with QAT Investments, QAT Investments was issued the warrants to which QMG was entitled. As such, QAT Investments was issued warrants to purchase 357,172 shares of Issuer’s Common Stock at $1.05 per share and exercisable as of August 18, 2008 and having an expiration date of August 18, 2013 (the “QAT $1.05 Warrants”), warrants to purchase 357,172 shares of Issuer’s Common Stock at $1.26 per share and exercisable as of August 18, 2008 and having an expiration date of August 18, 2013 (the “QAT $1.26 Warrants”) and warrants to purchase 178,586 shares of Issuer’s Common Stock at $1.47 per share and exercisable as of August 18, 2008 and having an expiration date of August 18, 2013 (the “QAT $1.47 Warrants”, and collectively with the QAT $1.05 Warrants and the QAT $1.26 Warrants, the “QAT Warrants”). Additionally, Amelia received warrants to purchase 347,587 shares of Issuer’s Common Stock at $1.05 per share and exercisable as of August 18, 2008 and having an expiration date of August 18, 2013 (the “Amelia $1.05 Warrants”), warrants to purchase 347,587 shares of Issuer’s Common Stock at $1.26 per share and exercisable as of August 18, 2008 and having an expiration date of August 18, 2013 (the “Amelia $1.26 Warrants”) and warrants to purchase 173,794 shares of Issuer’s Common Stock at $1.47 per share and exercisable as of August 18, 2008 and having an expiration date of August 18, 2013 (the “Amelia $1.47 Warrants”, and collectively with the Amelia $1.05 Warrants and the Amelia $1.26 Warrants, the “Amelia Warrants”).

Pursuant to restricted stock agreements between the Issuer and Johan Dejager, a member of the Board, and the Issuer and Reporting Person, a member of the Board, each of Mr. Dejager and Reporting Person were entitled to 500,000 restricted shares of Issuer’s Common Stock (the “RSA Shares”). The RSA Shares (aggregate of 1,000,000) were issued directly to QAT Investments pursuant to an agreement authorizing such action by and among Mr. Dejager, Reporting Person and QAT Investments.

On March 26, 2009, QAT Investments was issued 34,000 shares of Common Stock QMG was to receive in lieu of a certain cash payment owed to QMG pursuant to the placement agent agreement relating to the Offering.
