| Item 1.01. | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On December 26, 2006, the Registrant amended and restated the stock option agreements it entered into on September 20, 2006 with Ocean Park Advisors, LLC (OPA), Paul Galleberg and Jeff Lawton (the Options) primarily to restrict the period during which the Options may be exercised. As amended and restated, the Options now provide that they only will be exercisable after January 1, 2008 (with provisions for acceleration in the event of a change in control of the Registrant, as defined in the Options), and must be exercised, if at all, on or before December 31, 2008, or such later date as is permitted pursuant to limited exceptions under the Options. Previously, the Options previously had a term of 5 years from their date of issuance. As amended and restated, the Options now have a term of 2.3 years from such date. In order to accommodate the amendment and restatement of the Options, the Board of Directors also adopted certain amendments to Section 4A of the Registrants 2006 Incentive Compensation Plan, as set forth in Exhibit 10.4 attached hereto.
OPA is an advisor to the Registrant. Two of its principals, W. Bruce Comer III and Heng Chuk, are executive officers and directors of the Registrant. Messrs. Galleberg and Lawton are directors of the Registrant.
| Item 4.02. | Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review. |
In connection with the acquisition of Vanguard Synfuels LLC (the Acquisition), on September 20, 2006, the Registrant issued (i) certain stock options, (ii) certain warrants for the purchase of the Registrants Common Stock, (iii) Series J Convertible Preferred Stock (described below), and (iv) Series K Convertible Preferred Stock, all as described in the Registrants Form 8-K dated September 20, 2006 (the September 2006 Convertible Securities).
For purposes of accounting for the issuance of the September 2006 Convertible Securities, the Registrant estimated the fair value of the Common Stock underlying the September 2006 Convertible Securities as $0.7587 per share, rather than the closing price of $3.10 per share on the OTC Bulletin Board on September 18, 2006, which was the last date on which the Common Stock was traded on the OTC Bulletin Board prior to the issuance of the September 2006 Convertible Securities. The Registrants use of the $0.7587 per share valuation was previously disclosed in the footnotes to the Registrants unaudited, pro forma combined financial statements dated June 20, 2006, which were included in the Registrants Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on September 26, 2009 and our previously filed Form 10Q-SB for the three months period ended September 30, 2006, filed on November 14, 2006. In reaching this conclusion, the Board of Directors of the Registrant determined that the trading price of the Common Stock did not accurately reflect the fair market value of the Common Stock. The Board relied on a number of factors in making its determination, including the fact that, as of September 18, 2006, the date of the last trade prior to the Acquisition, the Registrants liabilities exceeded its assets; the Registrant had no ongoing business and was a shell company, as defined under the rules and regulations of the SEC; trading in the Registrants Common Stock was extremely limited and sporadic in nature; and the Registrant had obtained a third party valuation in August 2006 that stated that the value of the equity of the Registrant as a shell company was $0.42 on a fully-diluted basis.
To finance the Acquisition, the Registrant issued $28,500,000 of shares of its Series J Convertible Preferred Stock (the Series J Preferred) with a conversion price of $0.7587 per share of underlying Common Stock. The Series J Preferred was the senior equity security of the Registrant, with a liquidation preference over the Common Stock, as well as other preferential rights, including an 8% preferential dividend.
Based on the above factors, the valuation of the Series J Preferred, and other factors, and given the lack of certainty involving the valuation of the Common Stock of the Registrant, the Board determined to set the value of the Common Stock underlying the September 2006 Convertible Securities as $0.7587, the same valuation as the shares of Common Stock underlying the Series J Preferred.
Subsequent to filing its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, the Registrant discussed the valuation of the September 2006 Convertible Securities with the staff of the SEC. Based on such discussions, the Registrant determined to utilize the $3.10 valuation for financial reporting purposes, rather than the $0.7587 share price. Accordingly, the Board concluded that the financial statements of the Registrant issued for the period ended September 30, 2006 should be restated to reflect a valuation of the shares of Common Stock underlying the September 2006 Convertible Securities at $3.10 per share instead of $0.7587 and should no longer be relied upon. In reaching this conclusion, the Board and the Audit Committee of the Board discussed the matters disclosed herein with the Registrants independent accountants, McKennon, Wilson & Morgan, LLP.
The Registrant intends to file an amended Form 10-QSB/A for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2006 to reflect the restatement discussed above as soon as practicable.
