EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 1”) amends and supplements the Original Schedule 13D (the “Original Schedule 13D”) filed by the Reporting Persons with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on July 7, 2009. This Amendment, together with the Original Schedule 13D is hereby referred to as the “Schedule 13D”. As of August 10, 2012, Star (China) Holdings Limited sold 1,279,080 shares of Common Stock of the Company to two accredited investors.  Accordingly, the Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owners of more than five percent of common stock of the Issuer as of August 10, 2012.

(b)       Each of the Reporting Persons has sole voting and dispositive power over the Star China Shares.

 

(c)       Other than the acquisition of the Star China Shares as reported on this Schedule 13D described as below, none of the Reporting Persons has effected any transactions in the Common Stock during the past 60 days:

 

On June 11, 2012, Star China entered into a stock purchase agreement, as amended subsequently on July 30, 2012, with two accredited investors, citizens of P.R. China, pursuant to which Star China sold 1,279,080 shares of common stock of the Issuer, for a purchase price of $3 million in the aggregate. The transaction was consummated in P. R. China.

 

(d)       To the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, no other person is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Star China Shares.

 

(e)       Not applicable.

 

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

 

In connection with the transfer described in Item 5 above, Star (China) Holding Limited and each applicable investor therein receiving Subject Shares signed agreements in substantially the forms attached hereto as Exhibits 1, 2.
