Other Events.

On March 28, 2012, we advanced an additional $125,000 to Stanford Energy, Inc. (“Stanford”). The Board of Directors has authorized an additional credit line for Stanford to provide up to an additional $250,000 with an interest rate of 5% per annum. These advances will be evidenced by a promissory note dated March 30, 2012, from Stanford and will include the $125,000 loaned to Stanford on March 28, 2012. The note is due on or before January 31, 2013, and bears interest at the rate of 5% per annum from the date of each advance.  A copy of the promissory note is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.

On February 6, 2012, we entered into a second non-binding letter of intent with Stanford and two of its shareholders, L. Tim Rochford and Stanley McCabe, to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Stanford Energy.  It was intended that the transaction would be completed by March 30, 2012.  The parties have extended the closing until April 30, 2012.
