ITEM 5.02(b) Departure of Executive Officer
On September 16, 2015, Charles Trego, the Registrant’s Chief Financial Officer, gave notice that he shall resign from that position, effective as of October 2, 2015. Mr. Trego's resignation is solely due to family medical reasons which will not afford him the time to function as the Registrant’s full time CFO. Mr. Trego will continue to serve on the Company’s Board and will consult with Donald Farley, the Registrant’s Chairman, on an as needed part time basis. On September 16, 2015, the Registrant’s Board of Directors appointed current controller, Danielle Baker, as Interim Chief Accounting Officer, effective October 2, 2015, to serve until such time as the Registrant has the resources to retain a full time Chief Financial Officer.
