Item 4. Ownership
     Provide the following information regarding the aggregate number and percentage of the class of securities of the issuer identified in Item 1.
     Introduction:
     On December 31, 2009, the Issuer acquired all of the member interests of Stones Rivers Companies, LLC, a Tennessee limited liability company (“SRC”), from TLC. The consideration that the Company paid to TLC that day included 1,000,000 shares of its Common Stock and a Convertible Promissory Note in the face amount of $500,000 with a maturity date of June 30, 2013. The principal amount of the Note is convertible in whole, but not in part, into 500,000 shares of Common Stock at any time during the period beginning on June 30, 2010 and ending on the maturity date. Ms. Hall and Mr. Wilson own all of the member interests of TLC.
     On December 31, 2009, the Company issued to Woodstone warrants to purchase up to 600,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.65 per share and with a term ending on December 31, 2014. The warrants become exercisable only if SRC, now a subsidiary of the Company, receives from Woodstone firm contracts or purchase orders for at least $10,000,000 by June 30, 2013. The warrants vest in two parts: 400,000 shares when contracts or purchase orders between SRC and Woodstone reach $10,000,000, and an additional 200,000 shares when contracts or purchase orders between them reach an additional $5,000,000. Ms. Hall and Mr. Wilson each own a minority of the member interests of Woodstone. Together, they own a majority of its member interests.
     On December 31, 2009, the Company awarded to Mr. Wilson an employee stock option under its 2008 Stock Incentive Plan to purchase 140,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.64 and with a term of ten years. Of the total number of shares, twenty-five percent become exercisable on December 31, 2010, and the remaining seventy-five percent become exercisable monthly in equal amounts over the next thirty-six months.
  (a)   Amount Beneficially Owned:
     As of the date of this filing, and assuming the passage of the requisite amount of time, the satisfaction of conditions, and the satisfaction of vesting requirements, (i) TLC beneficially owns 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock, (ii) Woodstone beneficially owns 600,000 shares of Common Stock, (iii) Mr. Wilson beneficially owns 140,000 shares of Common Stock, and (iv) each of Ms. Hall and Mr. Wilson may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 2,100,000 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by TLC and by Woodstone.

  (b)   Percent of Class:
     The Company has informed the Reporting Persons that following its acquisition of SRC, and the issuance to SRC of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock, on December 31, 2009, there were 21,077,859 shares of Common Stock outstanding. Therefore, based on the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock, and on the assumptions set forth in the previous paragraph, (i) TLC may be deemed to beneficially own 7.1% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, (ii) Woodstone may be deemed to beneficially own 2.8% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, (iii) Ms. Hall may be deemed to beneficially own 9.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, and (iv) Mr. Wilson may be deemed to beneficially own 10.6% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company. The foregoing should not be construed, in and of itself, as an admission by any Reporting Person as to beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock owned by another Reporting Person.
