Provide the following information regarding the aggregate number and percentage of the class of securities of the issuer identified in Item 1.

 

  (a) Amount Beneficially Owned: 1,905,601* shares of Common Stock as of December 28, 2015

 

  (b) Percent of Class:  9.99%*

 

The Reporting Persons’ beneficial ownership of 1,905,601* shares of Common Stock constitutes 9.99%* of all the outstanding shares of Common Stock, based upon 18,439,640 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of December 23, 2015, as reported by the Chief Financial Officer of the Issuer to Gemini Master Fund, Ltd. (“Gemini”), plus 418,556 Make-Whole Dividend Shares (as defined below) issued to Gemini after December 23, 2015, plus shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares (as defined below) and upon exercise of the Warrant (as defined below).

 

 

 

 

CUSIP No. 02300U205 13G Page 6 of 7 Pages

 

  (c) Number of shares as to which such person has:

 

  (i) sole power to vote or to direct the vote:  0

 

  (ii) shared power to vote or to direct the vote:   1,905,601*

 

  (iii) sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of:  0

 

  (iv)

shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition of: 1,905,601*

  

*Subject to the Ownership Limitation (defined below), the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own a total of 2,723,811 shares of Common Stock, consisting of (i) 1,270,153 shares of Common Stock (“Common Shares”) held by Gemini, (ii) 418,556 shares of Common Stock (“Make-Whole Dividend Shares”) issued or being issued to Gemini on or about December 28, 2015, (iii) 979,547 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of 194.44 shares of the Issuer’s Series E 12% Convertible Preferred Stock (“Preferred Shares”) issued to Gemini on or about July 9, 2015 (without dividend accrual), and (iv) 55,556 shares of Common Stock issuable to Gemini upon exercise in full of a Warrant issued to Gemini in connection with the issuance of the Preferred Shares (the “Warrant”).

 

In accordance with Rule 13d-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, because the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Preferred Shares are convertible and the Warrant is exercisable is limited, pursuant to the terms of such instruments, to that number of shares of Common Stock which would result in the Reporting Persons having beneficial ownership of 9.99% of the total issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (the "Ownership Limitation"), the Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership of any and all shares of Common Stock that would cause any Reporting Person's beneficial ownership to exceed the Ownership Limitation. Therefore, in accordance with the Ownership Limitation, based upon 18,858,196 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the date hereof, each of the Reporting Persons beneficially owns 1,905,601 shares of Common Stock and disclaims beneficial ownership of 818,210 shares of Common Stock issuable conversion of the Preferred Shares and exercise of the Warrant.

 

In addition, as permitted by Rule 13d-4, the filing of this statement shall not be construed as an admission that Gemini Strategies LLC, Inc., in its capacity as investment manager for Gemini, is the beneficial owner of the Common Shares, the Make-Whole Dividend Shares, the Preferred Shares or the Warrant, or that Steven Winters, in his capacity as president or principal of Gemini Strategies LLC, Inc., is the beneficial owner of the Common Shares, the Make-Whole Dividend Shares, the Preferred Shares or the Warrant. Each of Gemini Strategies LLC, Inc. and Steven Winters expressly disclaims any equitable or beneficial ownership of the Common Shares, the Make-Whole Dividend Shares, the Preferred Shares or the Warrant.
