(d) and (e). During the last five (5) years, the Reporting Person (i) has not been convicted in any criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) and (ii) has not been party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction such that, 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 activity subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

(f) The Reporting Person is a citizen of the United States of America.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

The Reporting Person beneficially owns 6,173,409 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock. Of those shares, the Reporting Person acquired 278,138.50 shares of the Issuer’ Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”), which shares are convertible into 5,562,770 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock, pursuant to the terms of a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”), dated June 24, 2013, between the Issuer and the shareholders of VeriTeQ Acquisition Corporation (“VeriTeQ”). The Preferred Stock is automatically convertible into shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock on the date the Issuer files a certificate of amendment (the “Amendment”) to its certificate of incorporation, as amended, to effect a 30-for-1 reverse stock split (discussed below). Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the Reporting Person exchanged 29,150,000 shares of VeriTeQ common stock for the 278,138.50 shares of the Issuer’s Preferred Stock. Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the Reporting Person also acquired stock options of the Issuer for the right to purchase 392,545 shares of Common Stock in exchange for: (ii) stock options of VeriTeQ to purchase 2,000,000 shares of VeriTeQ common stock; and (ii) as a result of outstanding stock options of the Issuer to purchase 10,879 shares of Common Stock.

The Reporting Person is also deemed to have beneficial ownership over 10,904.70 shares of the Issuer’s Preferred Stock that are owned directly by Blue Moon Energy Partners, LLC ("Blue Moon"). The Reporting Person is a manager and controlling person of R&R Consulting Partners, LLC which is a member with a 50% interest in Blue Moon. Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, Blue Moon exchanged 1,142,857 shares of VeriTeQ for the 10,904.70 shares of Preferred Stock, which shares are convertible into 218,094 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock. The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares held by Blue Moon and the inclusion of the shares in this Schedule 13D shall not be deemed an admission of beneficial ownership of all of the reported shares for purposes of Section 16 or any other purpose.

For purposes of this Schedule 13D, it is assumed that the Issuer will file the Amendment within sixty (60) calendar days of July 17, 2013. Accordingly, the Reporting Person may be deemed to beneficially own the shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock.

The Reverse Stock Split will not affect the number of shares of the Issuer’s authorized common stock.

Except as set forth herein, the Reporting Person does not have any plans or proposals that relate to or that will result in any of the actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

This includes options to purchase 392,545 shares of Common Stock which there is a right to acquire voting power or dispositive power, or both within 60 days. For purposes of this Schedule 13D, it is assumed that the Issuer will file the Amendment to effect the Reverse Stock Split within sixty (60) calendar days of July 17, 2013.
