ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

On June 28, 2012, the reporting person acquired 1,220,000 shares of Common Stock in exchange for all of the shares of Stanford owned by the Reporting Person. These shares were issued in connection with the closing of a Stock-for-Stock Exchange Agreement dated May 3, 2012, (the “Exchange Agreement”) among the Issuer, Stanford, and the shareholders of Stanford, including the Reporting Person. The shares were issued into a revocable family trust of Mr. McCabe. As a result of the closing of the Exchange Agreement, Stanford became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer. In addition, the Issuer assumed the obligation at closing to grant options to Mr. McCabe to purchase up to 100,000 shares of the Issuer’s common stock.
