The following constitutes Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons.  This Amendment No. 3 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth below.  All other Items are unchanged.

ITEM 5.                Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a)(1)       As of the reporting date, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of an aggregate 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock, which represents approximately 9.1% of the Common Stock outstanding as of November 9, 2011.  The aggregate amount represents the Fund's options to purchase an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock from third parties.  The options were entered into pursuant to the Purchase and Option Agreements described in Item 5(c), below, incorporated by reference.

(c)           On December 29, 2011, the Fund sold all of its 12,994,823 shares of Common Stock of Issuer in a series of private sale transactions effected through Purchase and Option Agreements and Purchase and Sale Agreements with unaffiliated third parties (collectively, the "Sale Agreements").  Pursuant to the Sale Agreements, the Fund sold an aggregate of 12,994,823 shares, representing all of its shares of Common Stock, for an aggregate purchase price of $300,000, and an average purchase price per share of $0.0231.  The Fund paid the purchase price with a $175,000 initial payment upon closing with the remaining $125,000 payable pursuant to short term, unsecured, interest free promissory notes due and payable on February 28, 2012.

In connection with the Sale Agreements, certain parties granted back to the Fund an option to purchase an aggregate 5,000,000 shares, at an exercise price of $0.075 per share.  The options become exercisable 6 months after the date of the Sale Agreements, and expire December 31, 2012.

The detail for each of the purchases is as follows:

   
Shares Sold
   
Options Granted Back
   
Aggregate Purchase Price
 
      1,833,134       1,803,836     $ 45,477  
      4,569,510       1,598,082     $ 105,000  
      4,569,510       1,598,082     $ 105,000  
      1,200,000       -     $ 26,256  
      822,669       -     $ 18,000  
Total
    12,994,823       5,000,000     $ 300,000
