The source of the funds used for the stock purchases and loans made to the Issuer and Subsidiary as discussed in (b) — (s) above was the assets of the Company as contributed by its members, Denly ACI and The von Waaden 2004 Revocable Trust.


Item 5		Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a) Number and Percentage of Common Stock Beneficially Owned by Reporting Persons

The percentages of total shares set forth herein are based on the assumption that there are 331,837,114 shares of common stock outstanding, which is based on the following calculation: the sum of (1) 323,237,114 the shares of Common Stock reported to be outstanding as of August 16, 2010 in the Issuer’s most recent filing, the Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2010, (2) 5,600,000, the number of shares of Common Stock acquired by Denly Utah Coal, LLC after August 16, 2010 and (3) 3,000,000, the number of shares of Common Stock that Denly Utah Coal, LLC may acquire under vested warrants.

The Company owns 98,781,991 shares of Common Stock outright and has the right to acquire 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock at $0.01 before October 9, 2019 under the terms of the warrant described in paragraph (s) under Item 3, which is incorporated by reference herein. Thus, the Company and each other Reporting Person may be deemed to beneficially own 101,781,991 shares of Common Stock as of September 1, 2010, which represents 30.7% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer.

The transactions in Common Stock effected by the Reporting Persons during the past 60 days are described in paragraphs (q), (r) and (s) under Item 3 above, which are incorporated by reference herein.
