Amendment No. 7 to Schedule 13D
 
This Amendment is being filed by Jeremy P. Hitchcock, Elizabeth Cash Hitchcock, Orbit Group LLC (“Orbit”), Hitchcock Capital Partners, LLC (“HCP”), Zulu Holdings LLC (“Zulu”), and a stockholders group pursuant to Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  The stockholders group (the “Group”) is comprised of Jeremy P. Hitchcock, Elizabeth Cash Hitchcock, Orbit, HCP and Zulu.
 
This Amendment further amends (i) the Schedule 13D filed on May 3, 2019; (ii) the Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed on October 21, 2019; (iii) the Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D filed on January 15, 2020; (iv) the Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D filed on January 21, 2020; (v) the Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D filed on April 8, 2020; (vi) the Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D filed on April 17, 2020, and (vii) the Amendment No. 6 to Schedule 13D filed on May 27, 2020 (collectively, the “Schedule 13D”).
 
Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Schedule 13D as amended hereby.

Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction
 
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is amended and supplemented by the addition of the following paragraph at the end of Item 4:
 
Mr. Hitchcock and one or more other members of the Group have been approached by and in discussions with the holders of an aggregate of 4,142,589 shares of common stock of the Issuer concerning a possible purchase of all or a portion of such shares. Although no purchase price has been determined or agreed upon by the parties, it is anticipated that any purchase price would be based on the current or volume weighted trading price for the Issuer’s common stock as reported by the OTCQB Venture Market at or for a specified period prior to the date of any such transaction. There can be no assurance that any such transaction will be effected and Mr. Hitchcock and the Group reserve the right to discontinue such discussions at any time. On July 9, 2020, Mr. Hitchcock discussed the possible stock purchase with the Issuer’s Board and requested that the Issuer’s Board consider and advise Mr. Hitchcock whether the Issuer has an interest in pursuing such transaction. Although the Group awaits the Board’s response to that request, the Group reserves the right for one or more members of the Group to proceed with such discussions and any transaction resulting therefrom at any time.

Item 5.
Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is amended and supplemented by the addition of the following:

As of the date hereof, each of the members of the Group beneficially owns, in aggregate, the number of shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock, representing the percentage of the Issuer's outstanding shares set forth below opposite the name of such member of the Group, which in the case of Mr. Hitchcock and Ms. Hitchcock includes 52,500 shares of Common Stock that may be acquired within 60 days of the date hereof pursuant to the exercise of stock options issued to Mr. Hitchcock.
