CUSIP No.  227443108 SCHEDULE 13D Page 12 of 18 Pages

 

No Reporting Person has, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

 

No Reporting Person has, during the last five years, been party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

 

Each of the individual Reporting Persons is a citizen of the United States of America.

 

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

 

Through a private placement conducted by the Issuer, Black Rock acquired 2,136,164 units, consisting of 2,136,164 Shares and warrants to purchase 2,136,164 Shares for a purchase price of $3,204,246 ($1.50 per unit), which purchase was made with Black Rock’s working capital.

 

Through a series of privately negotiated stock purchase and sale agreements with the Issuer’s stockholders, RMR acquired 2,701,261 Shares. RMR used its working capital for purchases made in cash. The remainder of acquisitions was made in exchange for shares of RMR’s common stock. The amount of funds or other consideration per transaction is listed in Schedule 1 attached hereto.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

 

The Reporting Persons purchased the Shares for investment purposes. Depending upon overall market conditions, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, and the availability of Shares at prices that would make the purchase or sale of Shares desirable, the Reporting Persons may endeavor to increase or decrease their position in the Issuer through, among other things, the purchase or sale of Shares on the open market or in private transactions or otherwise, on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Persons may deem advisable.

 

On December 12, 2011, RMR and Black Rock filed a complaint in the District Court for Clark County, Nevada (the “District Court”) seeking (i) an order directing the Issuer to conduct an annual meeting for the election of directors (the “Annual Meeting”) and (ii) a declaration by the District Court that a proxy solicitation conducted by RMR and Black Rock in connection with such Annual Meeting and in accordance with applicable rules and regulations would not, in and of itself, constitute or be deemed an “Association,” for the purposes of, and as that term is defined, in Issuer’s Bylaws.

 

 
 

 

CUSIP No.  227443108 SCHEDULE 13D Page 13 of 18 Pages

 

On February 21, 2012, the Group filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) a preliminary consent solicitation statement in connection with its anticipated solicitation of written consents (the “Solicitation”) from the stockholders of the Issuer to consent to the following actions without a stockholders’ meeting, as authorized by Section 78.320 of the Nevada Revised Statutes:

 

·Amend Article IV, Section 15 of Issuer’s Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) to provide that stockholders have the ability to fix the size of the Issuer’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and to increase the size of the Board to eleven directors;

 

·Amend Article IV, Section 18 of the Bylaws to allow newly created directorships resulting from an increase in the size of the Board to be filled by a vote of the stockholders;

 

·Subject to approval of the above actions, elect each of Alan W. Barksdale, Paul N. Vassilakos, Richard Y. Roberts, Lynden B. Rose, Randell K. Ford and William F. Miller, III (each, a “Nominee” and collectively, the “Nominees”) to serve as a director of the Issuer (or, if any such Nominee was unable or unwilling to serve as a director of the Issuer, any other person designated as a Nominee by RMR);

 

·Repeal the amendments to the Bylaws adopted by the Board on November 14, 2011 which added Article XIII – Acquisition of a Controlling Interest; and

 

·Remove the power of the Board to amend the Bylaws prior to the next annual meeting of stockholders and repeal any provision of the Bylaws adopted by the Board in effect at the time this proposal becomes effective that was not included in the Bylaws as of February 21, 2012.

 

The Group is seeking to add six independent directors to the Issuer’s Board because it does not believe the current Board is acting in the best interests of the Issuer’s stockholders and that new independent directors are necessary in order to enhance stockholder value. The Group believes the approval of the actions will provide the Issuer with qualified and committed directors who, in accordance with their respective fiduciary duties as directors, will provide proper oversight and direct management to take decisive steps to maximizing stockholder value.

 

Except as discussed above, the Reporting Persons do not have other specific plans or proposals at this time that would result in a change to the Issuer as set forth in subsections (a) – (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons plan to evaluate their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis, and in connection with such evaluation the Reporting Persons may in the future upon due consideration of all relevant factors take certain actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate including, without limitation, engaging in communications with management and the Board of the Issuer regarding the events discussed herein, engaging in discussions with third parties about the Issuer and the Reporting Persons’ investment, making proposals to the Issuer concerning changes to the capitalization, ownership structure, board structure or operations of the Issuer, or changing their intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4.

 
 

CUSIP No.  227443108 SCHEDULE 13D Page 14 of 18 Pages

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

Black Rock is deemed to be the beneficial owner of 4,272,328 Shares, or approximately 23.4% of the Issuer’s common stock. This represents 2,136,164 Shares held by Black Rock and warrants to purchase 2,136,164 Shares held by Black Rock for which the exercise period began on November 26, 2011. The warrants, however, are subject to a cap that precludes the holder from exercising the warrants if after such exercise the holder alone or with its affiliates would be the beneficial owner of more than 19.99% of the Issuer’s common stock unless the holders of the Issuer’s common stock approve such exercise.

 

RMR is deemed to be the beneficial owner of 6,973,589 Shares, or approximately 38.1% of the Issuer’s common stock. This represents 2,701,261 Shares held by RMR and the 2,136,164 Shares held by Black Rock, RMR’s wholly owned subsidiary. This also includes the warrants to purchase 2,136,164 Shares held by Black Rock.

 

Barksdale, as the Chief Executive Officer of RMR and an officer of Black Rock, has the authority to vote and dispose of the Shares on behalf of RMR and Black Rock. As such, Barksdale is deemed to be the beneficial owner of all of the Shares beneficially owned by RMR and Black Rock.

 

None of the other individual Reporting Persons has the authority to vote or dispose of the Shares on behalf of RMR and Black Rock. Such persons may be deemed beneficial owners of such Shares as members of a “group” for the purposes of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”); however, each individual Reporting Person (except for Mr. Barksdale), disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock not directly owned by him, except to the extent of his ultimate pecuniary interest therein, if any.

 

Pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13d-5(b)(1), the Group is deemed to have beneficial ownership over the Shares of its group members, and thus is deemed to have beneficial ownership over those Shares held by RMR and Black Rock.

 

The Group, RMR and Barksdale have sole voting and dispositive power with respect to all of the shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock beneficially owned by them. Black Rock has shared voting and dispositive power with respect to all of the Shares beneficially owned by it.

 

 
 

 

CUSIP No.  227443108 SCHEDULE 13D Page 15 of 18 Pages

 

In the past 60 days, the Reporting Persons effected the following transactions:

 

On January 3, 2012, RMR entered into a stock purchase and sale agreement pursuant to which RMR acquired an aggregate of 50,000 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock in exchange for $70,000.00 ($1.40 per share) in a privately negotiated transaction. RMR used its working capital to pay the purchase price.

 

On January 10, 2012, RMR entered into a stock purchase and sale agreement pursuant to which RMR acquired an aggregate of 250,929 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock in exchange for the issuance of an aggregate of 501,858 shares of RMR’s common stock in a privately negotiated transaction.

 

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

 

On November 16, 2011, RMR issued a Senior Secured Promissory Note (the “Note”) in the amount of $4,000,000 to Hyman Belzberg, William Belzberg and Cado Management, Inc. (collectively, the “Lenders”).
