Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds

The Reporting Persons have purchased shares of the Company as follows:

    Pursuant to a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated June 30, 2000, Aequitas (then known as JMW Capital Partners, Inc.) acquired from the Company (i) two warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,066,000 shares of the common stock of the Company in exchange for $20,660 and (ii) a Subordinated Promissory Note in the principal amount of $400,000. Aequitas acquired the warrants described below as additional consideration for its $400,000 loan to the Company. In connection with the loan and the purchase of the warrants described herein, Aequitas has the right to appoint directors to fill two vacancies on the Company's Board of Directors. The two warrants give Aequitas the right to purchase an aggregate of 2,066,000 shares of the common stock of the Company, 1,033,000 shares of which may be purchased at an exercise price of $0.50 per share and 1,033,000 shares of which may be purchased at an exercise price of $0.38722 per share. The warrants are immediately exercisable and will remain exercisable until June 30, 2005. Certain of these warrants were extended until June 30, 2007, as more fully described below. In connection with this transaction, the Company and Aequitas entered into a Registration Rights Agreement dated June 30, 2000 which provides Aequitas certain registration rights and contains a “market stand-off” provision. The forms of Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (Exhibit 99.5), Stock Purchase Warrant (Exhibit 99.3), Subordinated Promissory Note (Exhibit 99.2) and Registration Rights Agreement (Exhibit 99.4) which relate to the above-described transaction are filed as exhibits to this Schedule 13D.

    On or about September 16, 2002, Aequitas assigned the warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,066,000 shares of the common stock of the Company to its shareholders as follows: (i) $0.38722 exercise price: Robert J. Jesenik—413,200 warrant shares; Dennis Wade—413,200 warrant shares; Brian A. Oliver—103,300 warrant shares; Thomas A. Sidley—103,300 warrant shares; and (ii) $0.50 exercise price: Robert J. Jesenik—413,200 warrant shares; Dennis Wade—413,200 warrant shares; Brian A. Oliver—103,300 warrant shares; Thomas A. Sidley—103,300 warrant shares. The forms of the Amended and Restated Stock Purchase Warrants issued to these individuals are filed as exhibits to this Schedule 13D (Exhibit 99.6). Pursuant to an Agreement to Satisfy Obligations dated September 15, 2003 between the Company, Aequitas and Christenson Technology Services, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company (“CTS”), and in connection with the cancellation of certain debt owed by CTS to Aequitas, the Company agreed to extend the expiration date for exercise of the Amended and Restated Stock Purchase Warrants for Mr. Jesenik, Mr. Oliver and Mr. Sidley to June 30, 2007. The forms of the Second Amended and Restated Stock Purchase Warrants issued to these individuals are filed as exhibits to this Schedule 13D (Exhibit 99.7).

    JMW MICG Holdings LLC purchased 545,455 common shares from the Company on September 16, 2002 for $120,000 for the purpose of investment.

  On or about September 15, 2005, NoiZe, LLC distributed to its members all of the 98,946 common shares of the Company received from JMW MICG Holdings LLC. At that time, Aequitas had a 1/6 (16.6667%) membership interest in NoiZe, LLC. As a result, Aequitas received (through its representative Robert J. Jesenik) 16,491 common shares of the Company.

    Aequitas received 45,455 common shares from the Company as a financing success fee related to the acquisition of Innovative Safety Technologies, LLC by the Company in September 2002. The common shares were received in lieu of the cash payment otherwise due to Aequitas pursuant to the engagement letter with the Company dated July 17, 2002 and filed as an exhibit to this Schedule 13D (Exhibit 99.9). These shares were subsequently pledged to Sterling Savings Bank to secure loan obligations of JMW Group, LLC (“JMW”) owed to Sterling Savings Bank pursuant to a loan agreement dated February 23, 2004 (this pledge was subsequently released).

    On September 16, 2003, Christenson Group LLC acquired 4,193,142 shares of the Company’s common stock in a triangular merger in exchange for its stock in CTS. CTS merged into a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated September 15, 2003, among the Company, CTS Acquisition Co., CTS, and Christenson Group LLC. The transaction was completed on September 16, 2003. Of the shares received in the merger by Christenson Group LLC, 250,000 shares of common stock were held in escrow pursuant to an Indemnification Escrow Agreement dated September 15, 2003, among the Company, Kurt A. Underwood, TSI Telecommunication Services, Inc., Kurt A. Underwood, as representative for certain shareholders, Christenson Group LLC, Robert Jesenik, as representative for certain shareholders, and Anthony J. Motschenbacher, as escrow agent. In the event of an indemnification claim arising under the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, the shares in escrow are subject to forfeiture to the Company. The indemnification escrow has subsequently been terminated in accordance with the terms of the agreement. In connection with the acquisition of shares, Kurt A. Underwood, TSI Telecommunication Services Inc., Christenson Group LLC, Robert Jesenik, JMW-MICG Holdings, LLC, Steven M. Wright, R. Patrick Hanlin, Michael Stansell and the Company entered into a Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement dated September 15, 2003 (amended effective April 30, 2004 as to Christenson Group LLC) giving the securities holders certain registration rights and providing for a lock-up. The Agreement and Plan of Merger (Exhibit 99.10), Indemnification Escrow Agreement (Exhibit 99.11), Termination of Indemnification Escrow Agreement (Exhibit 99.12), Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement (Exhibit 99.13) and Amendment dated April 30, 2004 (Exhibit 99.14) are filed as exhibits to this Schedule 13D.

  On or about September 17, 2004, 1,680,812 of these common shares were distributed to Brian N. Christopher (through the Brian N. Christopher Living Trust) and 204,712 of these common shares were distributed to Kevin D. Robertson (and Pamela J. Robertson

Pursuant to these participation agreements, Destination agreed to assign to JMW and CLC on a prorata basis all warrants required to be issued by the Company.

  The Business Loan Agreement was amended pursuant to a First Amendment of Business Loan Agreement dated October 1, 2004 which clarified the term of the warrants to be issued by the Company.
