SCHEDULE 13G/A

Under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

(Amendment No. 1)*

Check the appropriate box to designate the rule pursuant to which this Schedule is filed:

*The remainder of this cover page shall be filled out for a reporting person’s initial filing on this form with respect to the subject class of securities, and for any subsequent amendment containing information which would alter the disclosures provided in a prior cover page.

The information required in the remainder of this cover page shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purpose of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section of the Act but shall be subject to all other provisions of the Act (however, see the Notes).

* As more fully described in Item 4, the Purchase Warrants are subject to a 9.99% blocker, and the percentage set forth in row (11) gives effect to such blockers. However, as more fully described in Item 4, the securities reported in rows (5), (7) and (9) show the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable upon full exercise of such reported securities and do not give effect to such blockers. Therefore, the actual number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Reporting Person, after giving effect to such blockers, is less than the number of securities reported in rows (5), (7) and (9).

The information as of the date of the event which requires filing of this statement required by Items 4(a) – (c) is set forth in Rows 5 – 11 of the cover page for the Reporting Persons hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Pursuant to the terms of the Warrants, the Reporting Person cannot exercise the Warrants to the extent the Reporting Persons would beneficially own, after any such exercise, more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Blockers”), and the percentage set forth in Row 11 of the cover page gives effect to the Blockers. Consequently, due to the Blockers, as of the date of the event which requires filing of this statement, the Reporting Persons could not exercise all of the Warrants.
