Item 1. Security and Issuer
This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 1”) amends and restates, where indicated, the statement on Schedule 13D relating to the common stock of the Issuer filed by Pinnacle Three Corporation (the “Reporting Person”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 1, 2008 (the “Initial Schedule 13D”).
This Amendment No. 1 is being made to disclose certain changes in the beneficial ownership of the shares of common stock of the Issuer held by the Reporting Person. Except as otherwise set forth herein, this Amendment No. 1 does not modify any of the information previously reported by the Reporting Person in the Initial Schedule 13D.
This Schedule 13D relates to the Common Stock of Acies Corporation (the “Company”). The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 3363 N.E. 163rd Street, Suite 705, North Miami Beach, Florida 33160.
Item 2. Identity and Background
(a)-(c) This Statement on Schedule 13D is being filed by Pinnacle Three Corporation (“Pinnacle”), a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Florida, which specializes in bridge loans for businesses, commercial property and real estate developers. The address of Pinnacle’s principal office is 1445 Windjammer Way, Hollywood, FL 33019. The beneficial owner of the shares held by Pinnacle is Leon Goldstein its President.
(d)-(e) During the last five years, no principal officer of Pinnacle Three Corporation: (i) has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors); and (ii) was not 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.
(f) Pinnacle is a Florida corporation.
Item 3. Source of Amount of Funds or Other Compensation
On June 5, 2008, the Company entered into an 8% Convertible Promissory Note (the "Note") in favor of Pinnacle in consideration for $450,000. Under the terms and conditions of the Note, the Company promised to pay to Pinnacle a principal sum in the amount of the $450,000 advanced to the Company by Pinnacle, together with accrued and unpaid interest at the rate of 8% per annum, on November 23, 2010. The Note was also convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.02 per share. On June 6, 2008, Pinnacle exercised its option to convert the unpaid principal balance, together with accrued interest, on the Note in the aggregate amount of $450,300, at an exercise price of $0.02 per share, into an aggregate of 22,515,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Shares”).
The independent members of the Board of Directors of the Company did not immediately approve or ratify the financing, and the Company did not initially deliver the Shares as the independent Directors of the Company believed it was in the best interests of the Company to conduct a review of the valuation of the Company in comparison to the terms of the financing prior to approving the issuance, which was completed by the independent Directors on or around July 16, 2008.
On or about July 21, 2008, the Company and Pinnacle entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release, whereby Pinnacle agreed to waive the Company’s default in delivering the Shares, that the Note would be satisfied in full following the issuance of the Shares, and that the Company would have no further liability under the Note following the issuance of the Shares. Additionally, both the Company and Pinnacle agreed to forever release and discharge each other and each other’s officers, directors, agents, representatives and assigns from any and all liability in connection with the Note, the Company’s default and the Shares.

In July 2009, the Company entered into an additional 18% Convertible Promissory Note with Pinnacle to evidence an additional $5,647 loaned by Pinnacle to the Company (the “Second Pinnacle Note” and collectively with the Pinnacle Note, the “Pinnacle Notes”). The Pinnacle Notes were convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.02 per share at any time prior to the maturity date.

Pursuant to the Amended Pinnacle Notes, the Company agreed to reduce the conversion price of the notes from $0.02 per share to $0.01 per share in consideration for Pinnacle agreeing to immediately convert such Amended Pinnacle Notes and accrued and unpaid interest thereon in the aggregate amount of $213,045 into 21,304,500 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock. Immediately following the Company’s entry into the Amended Pinnacle Notes, Pinnacle converted the entire principal and accrued interest outstanding under the notes into 21,304,500 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock, which shares were physically issued in January 2010.
