The Company’s ~~has~~Board ~~provided~~of ~~Grant~~Directors ~~Thornton~~(the ~~LLP~~“Board”) ~~with~~determined, at a meeting ~~copy~~held on September 10, 2010, that there was potential ambiguity in the language of ~~this~~the ~~Current~~July ~~Report~~2, on2010 Articles of Amendment regarding the payment of ~~Form~~preferred 8dividends to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, such that the preferred dividends could be construed as “non-Kcumulative,” meaning that if the Company did not pay a preferred dividend with respect to any quarter, that preferred dividend would not accrue but would rather be lost. This reading Awould ~~copy~~be inconsistent with the intent of ~~Grant~~the ~~Thornton~~Company ~~LLP’s~~and ~~letter~~the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock at the time the July 2, ~~dated~~2010 ~~August~~Articles 13of Amendment were filed, other portions of the July 2, 2010 Articles of Amendment and with the terms of the transaction documents pursuant to which the Company issued the Series A Preferred Stock.

The Company filed the New Articles of Amendment with the Corporation Commission of the Commonwealth of Virginia, which declared them effective as of September 21, 2010. A copy of the New Articles of Amendment as filed are attached hereto as an exhibit.

For the reasons outlined above, the Company believes that the New Articles of Amendment effect a mere clarification and do not materially change the terms of the July 2, 2010 Articles of Amendment.

The foregoing discussion is qualified in its entirety by reference to the definitive New Articles of Amendment, a copy of which is attached as an exhibit to this Current Report.

Section 8 - Other Events

Item 8.01 Other Events.

As previously reported in the July 2010 8-K, on July 2, 2010, the Company completed the closing of an exchange of shares of the Company’s common stock held by Caledonia for shares of Series A Preferred Stock and the modification of secured indebtedness owed by the Company to Caledonia, as more fully described therein as the “Caledonia Transactions.”

In connection with the Caledonia Transactions, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement (the “Caledonia Exchange Agreement”) with Caledonia pursuant to which Caledonia and the Company agreed that (a) Caledonia would exchange 2,500,000 Common Shares for 90,000 Series A Preferred Stock. The Company also delivered to Caledonia a Consolidated, Amended and Restated Promissory Note in the principal amount of $570,000 (the “New Caledonia Note”) in replacement of certain then-outstanding notes evidencing indebtedness to Caledonia.

The Company has determined that the Caledonia Exchange Agreement and the New Caledonia Note, copies of which were attached to the July 2010 8-K as exhibits, contain a minor deviation from the parties’ intent and business agreement, as follows:

The New Caledonia Note and the Caledonia Exchange Agreement characterized the $570,000 principal balance of the New Caledonia Note as being composed of the following:

(a) $500,000 representing the unpaid balances of the Old Caledonia Notes (as defined in the July 2010 8-K) being refinanced with the New Caledonia Note, and

(b) $70,000, as a note modification fee.

The correct characterization of the $570,000 principal balance of the New Caledonia Note is instead as follows:

(a) $450,000 representing the unpaid balances of the Old Caledonia Notes being refinanced with the New Caledonia Note,

(b) $50,000, as a note modification fee, and

(c) $70,000, as partial consideration for the Company’s Common Stock exchanged by Caledonia in connection with the Caledonia Transaction.

In order to correct the affected Caledonia Transaction documents, the Company and Caledonia agreed to amend, restate and replace (a) the New Caledonia Note with a certain Second Consolidated, Amended and Restated Promissory Note dated as of September 10, 2010 but effective for all purposes as of July 2, 2010 (the “Replacement New Caledonia Note”) and (b) the Caledonia Exchange Agreement with a certain First Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement dated as of September 10, 2010 but effective for all purposes as of July 2, 2010 (the “Replacement Caledonia Exchange Agreement”). Copies of the Replacement New Caledonia Note and the Replacement Caledonia Exchange Agreement are attached hereto as exhibits.

The Replacement New Caledonia Note and the Replacement Caledonia Exchange Agreement do not alter the terms of the Caledonia Transaction in any material respect and have no material economic effect on the Company.

The foregoing discussion is qualified in its entirety by reference to the definitive amended and restated documents, copies of which are attached as exhibits to this Current Report.
