Item
1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement
Convertible
debentures issues to Crescent International, Ltd (“Crescent”) on June 17, 2005
and September 21, 2005, in the aggregate amount of $750,000 have
been fully redeemed as of the date of this report. In
addition, prior to the date of this report, debentures in the face amount of
$714,500, issued on February 15, 2007 to Palisades Master Fund, L.P.
(“Palisades”) have been paid in full and fully redeemed.
As
previously reported on Form 8-K filed on February 21, 2007and on Form 10-QSB
for
the quarter ended June 30, 2007 filed on August 21, 2007, the Company entered
into a transaction on February 15, 2007 for additional financing of $714,500
(the “New Debentures”) and for the restructuring (“Restructuring”) of its June,
2005 convertible debentures with Crescent, International Ltd. (“Crescent”) and
Palisades Master Fund, L.P. (“Palisades”) (the “ Crescent June 2005 Convertible
Debentures” and the “Palisades June 2005 Convertible Debentures”, respectively)
and its September, 2005 convertible debentures with Crescent and Palisades
(the
“Crescent September 2005 Convertible Debentures” and the “Palisades September
2005 Convertible Debentures”, respectively) (collectively, the “2005 Convertible
Debentures”).
Following
the sale of the Company’s interest in the Carbon County project as announced in
its report in Form 8-K filed on August 13, 2007, the Company paid in full the
obligations in connection with the New Debentures, and the same have been
redeemed. The Company also paid down additional amounts aggregating
$935,500 on the 2005 Convertible Debentures.
In
addition, in connection with subsequent efforts of the Company to obtain
additional joint venture financing, the Company negotiated for the payment
of
$98,000 in return for cancellation and redemption at a discount of the balance
owing on the Crescent June 2005 Convertible Debentures and the Crescent
September 2005 Convertible Debentures, and both of such debentures have been
redeemed as of the date of this report, resulting in a gain of $98,000 from
the
discounted repayment of such debt.
Item
2.04 Triggering Events That Accelerate of Increase a Direct Financial Obligation
or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.
As
a part of the transactions involved in the Restructuring, Palisades agreed
to
amend the 2005 Convertible Debentures to remove the monthly liquidation
provision, making the 2005 Convertible Debentures due and payable at maturity,
and to amend the fixed conversion price to $0.1375 (“New Fixed Conversion
Price”). Palisades was issued 5,454,546 shares as a forbearance fee,
in addition to shares of stock issued for previous monthly redemption amounts,
the exercise of warrants, and commitment fees.
The
Restructuring also called for the Company to file a registration statement
to
register the shares issued to Palisades that were not previously registered
in
connection with the original issuance of the 2005 Convertible Debentures, and
to
seek shareholder approval for an increase in the number of authorized shares
of
the Company in order to provide sufficient shares for the conversion of the
outstanding balance of the 2005 Convertible Debentures at the New Fixed
Conversion Price. The Company would also file a registration
statement in connection with shares that would be issuable upon such
conversion.
Rather
than file a first registration statement (during the period that the proxy
statement was pending for the shareholder vote to increase the authorized
shares) to register the shares issued as a part of the Restructuring, and
thereafter file a second registration statement for the shares to be issued
in
the future (in the event of shareholder approval) upon the conversion of the
outstanding balance of the 2005 Convertible Debentures at the New Fixed
Conversion Price, the Company determined to await the outcome of the shareholder
meeting and file one sole registration statement covering all of such
shares. This determination was also during such time that the Company
and Palisades were negotiating for the payment of amounts from the sale of
the
Carbon County project interests toward the 2005 Convertible Debentures and
the
redemption in full of the Crescent June 2005 Convertible Debentures and the
Crescent September 2005 Convertible Debentures. Although the
Restructuring called for the Company to file a registration statement for the
shares issued under the Restructuring prior to the time frame in which the
convening of a shareholder meeting was possible, the parties
anticipated that the sale of the Carbon County project interests would be
consummated earlier than it eventually was, and that shareholder approval would
be obtained for the increase in authorized shares to provide for the conversion
of the outstanding balance, which, in turn, would provide for a more orderly
registration process.
The
sale
of the Carbon County project interests was delayed and finally was consummated
in August, at which time the Company paid the New Debentures in full (pursuant
to discussions with Palisades) prior to their maturity, rather than pay such
amounts, in addition to other amounts that were being paid, toward the 2005
Convertible Debentures.
Though
the sale of the Carbon County project interests was completed, and in spite
of
three adjournments of the shareholder meeting (and an overwhelming majority
of
shares voted being in favor of an increase in authorized shares), a sufficient
number of votes to approve the increase of authorized shares was not received,
and the proposed increase fell away unapproved as of August 26,
2007. The Company has engaged in continuing discussions with
Palisades since that time to work out an approach toward the payment of the
balance owing on the 2005 Convertible Debentures through joint venture financing
or other means.
Following
the sale of the Company’s interest in the Carbon County project as announced in
its report in Form 8-K filed on August 13, 2007, the Company paid in full the
obligations in connection with the New Debentures, and the same have been
redeemed. The Company also paid down additional amounts on the 2005
Convertible Debentures. In addition, in connection with subsequent
efforts of the Company to obtain additional joint venture financing, the Company
negotiated for the payment in full at a discount of the balance owing on the
Crescent June 2005 Convertible Debentures and the Crescent September 2005
Convertible Debentures, and both of such debentures have been redeemed as of
the
date of this report.
Notwithstanding
the reductions in the amounts outstanding under the 2005 Convertible Debentures
and the redemptions of the 2005 Convertible Debentures held by Crescent, the
Company has not filed a registration statement, as mentioned above, in the
time
frame called for under the Restructuring. As a consequence, the
Company is taking the position that the entire balance of the Palisades June
2005 Convertible Debentures that matured September 17, 2007 and the entire
balance of the Palisades September 2005 Convertible Debentures otherwise
maturing December 21, 2007, are immediately due and payable, and has categorized
both such amounts in its balance sheet as current liabilities. The
Company also notes that some of its disclosures beginning as early as the Report
on Form 10-QSB for the period ending December 31, 2005, and including a number
of quarterly reports and reports on Form 8-K filed since such time as well
as
the proxy statement filed in connection with the shareholder meeting referenced
above, have inadvertently referenced the maturity dates of such convertible
debentures improperly as September 17, 2008 and December 21, 2008, respectively,
rather than the corresponding dates in 2007.
