None of the entities or persons identified in this Item 2 has, during the past five years, been convicted of any criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors), nor been a 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.
VFA, Boston and Yorktown are organized under the laws of the State of Oklahoma. Gillman is a U.S. citizen.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
As of March 25, 2008, Boston and Yorktown had invested $9,841,896 (including commissions and fees) in the Common Stock. The source of these funds was the working capital of Boston and Yorktown.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
Pursuant to an agreement dated March 17, 2008, by and between VFA and Issuer (the “Agreement”), Issuer agreed to sell 5,190,568 shares of restricted Common Stock to VFA for $7,000,000, or $1.3486 per share, which represents a ten percent (10%) premium over the average closing price of the Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board for the five trading days ending March 13, 2008. Under the terms of the Agreement, VFA has agreed: (1) that it will not sell any of its Common Stock holdings prior to December 31, 2012 without the consent of the Issuer; (2) that it will vote its shares in support of all propositions recommended to the shareholders by the Issuer’s board of directors at annual meetings through December 31, 2012; and (3) that it will take reasonable care to prevent its future dispositions from adversely impacting the market share price of the Common Stock. Under the terms of the Agreement, Issuer has agreed that it will file a registration statement with the SEC no later than December 31, 2009, covering all unregistered shares of Common Stock held by VFA. In addition, the Agreement grants VFA the right to nominate for consideration by the Issuer’s nominating committee up to two qualified individuals for election to the Issuer’s board of directors through December 31, 2012. The Agreement also terminates that certain stock purchase agreement between the Issuer and VFA, dated February 22, 2007.

 

 


 

         
CUSIP NO. 537590101   SCHEDULE 13D    
The purpose of the acquisition of the Common Stock is for investment, and the acquisitions of the Common Stock were made in the ordinary course of business and were not made for the purpose of acquiring control of the Issuer.
Although no Reporting Person has any specific plan or proposal to acquire or dispose of the Common Stock, consistent with its investment purpose, each Reporting Person at any time and from time to time may acquire additional Common Stock or dispose (subject to the stock disposition restrictions of the Agreement) of any or all of its Common Stock depending upon an ongoing evaluation of the investment in the Common Stock, prevailing market conditions, other investment opportunities, liquidity requirements of the Reporting Persons, and/or other investment considerations.
Also, consistent with the investment purpose, the Reporting Persons may engage in communications with one or more shareholders of the Issuer, one or more officers of the Issuer and/or one or more members of the board of directors of the Issuer and/or one or more representatives of the Issuer regarding the Issuer, including but not limited to its operations. The Reporting Persons may discuss ideas that, if effected may result in any of the following: the acquisition by persons of additional Common Stock of the Issuer, an extraordinary corporate transaction involving the Issuer, and/or changes in the board of directors or management of the Issuer.
Lanny Chiu was elected to serve on the Board of Directors of the Issuer on May 16, 2007. Mr. Chiu is an analyst for VFA. Mr. Chiu is not a manager, member, officer, or control person of any of the Reporting Persons.
Except to the extent the foregoing may be deemed a plan or proposal, none of the Reporting Persons has any plans or proposals which relate to, or could result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider their position and/or change their purpose and/or formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto, subject to the restrictions contained in the Agreement.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
(a) and (b) As of March 25, 2008, there were 16,634,628 shares of Common Stock outstanding (computed by adding 5,190,568 shares of Common Stock issued on March 25, 2008, pursuant to the Agreement as described in Item 4, to 11,444,060 shares of Common Stock, the number outstanding as of March 5, 2008, as reported in the Issuer’s Form 10-KSB, filed on March 31, 2008). Based on such information, after taking into account the transactions described in Item 5(c) below, Boston directly owns 7,504,489 shares of Common Stock (approximately 45.1%) and Yorktown directly owns 16,000 shares of Common Stock (approximately .1%) of the Issuer. VFA, as general manager of Boston and Yorktown, and Gillman, as manager of VFA, may also be deemed to beneficially own the 7,520,489 shares of Common Stock (approximately 45.2%) of the Issuer held by Boston and Yorktown.

 

 


 

         
CUSIP NO. 537590101   SCHEDULE 13D    
As the manager of VFA, which serves as general manager to Boston and Yorktown, Gillman has sole voting and investment power of the Common Stock held by Boston and Yorktown.
Although VFA and Gillman are joining in this Schedule as Reporting Persons, the filing of this Schedule shall not be construed as an admission that either of them is, for any purpose, the beneficial owner of the Common Stock held by Boston and Yorktown. Similarly, Boston and Yorktown disclaim beneficial ownership of the shares held directly by the other.
