Item 3.
Source and Amount of Funds or Other Considerations.
 
On November 15, 2018, the Company’s management sent a letter to holders of various loans, including certain Reporting Persons, stating that the Company would agree to convert their debt to shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a conversion price of $1.10 per share, and that such conversion right would expire on December 6, 2018.  Thus, on December 6, 2018, Golden, HN, Tilly, Wendy Joan Kelman-Neu  and F. Daniel Gabel converted their loans to the Company into 6,348,499, 226,849, 3,888,219, 342,814, and 681,819 shares of Common Stock, respectively.

On December 10, 2018, the Reporting Persons and Abtech Acquisition Corp (“Newco”), a Nevada corporation newly formed by the Reporting Persons for the purpose of effecting the Merger, filed a Schedule 13E-3 (the “Schedule 13E-3”) with the SEC announcing their intention to cause Newco to merge with the Company in a “short-form” merger under Section 92A.180 of the Nevada Revised Statute (the “Merger”). Pursuant to a Contribution Agreement by and between the Reporting Persons and Newco, dated as of December 7, 2018, and attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 (the “Contribution Agreement”), the Reporting Persons agreed to contribute their shares of Common Stock to Newco, whereupon Newco will hold approximately 97% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. The Reporting Persons intend to cause the Merger to be completed immediately following the contribution of the shares of Common Stock to Newco. Upon the effective date of the Merger, each share of Common Stock (other than shares held by Newco, shares held in treasury and shares with respect to which dissenters’ rights have been properly exercised and not withdrawn or lost) will be cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive $1.10 in cash, without interest. The total amount of funds expected to be required by Newco to pay the aggregate merger consideration for the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than shares held by Newco, shares held in treasury and shares with respect to which dissenters’ rights have been properly exercised and not withdrawn or lost), is estimated to be approximately $477,358 plus an additional $85,000 for legal, printing, payment agent and other associated costs.  Because Tilly, one of the Reporting Persons, has agreed to provide the necessary funding for the Merger to Newco from cash on hand pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, Newco has not arranged for any alternative financing arrangements. The Merger will not be subject to any financing conditions.

Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction.
 
The information set forth in Items 3 and 6 of this Schedule 13D is hereby incorporated by reference in this Item 4.
 
As provided in the Schedule 13E-3 filed by the Reporting Persons and Newco on December 7, 2018, the Reporting Persons intend to cause Newco to merge with the Company, with Newco being the surviving corporation of the Merger, as a means of acquiring all of the other shares of Common Stock not owned directly or indirectly by the Reporting Persons and providing a source of immediate liquidity to the holders of such shares of Common Stock. Following the Merger, the Reporting Persons will own 100% of the common stock of the surviving corporation. Once the Merger is effective, public trading in the Common Stock on the OTC Pink Tier of the OTC Markets will cease. There will no longer be price quotations for the Common Stock and the registration of the Common Stock under the Act will be suspended.
 
In addition, as provided in the Schedule 13E-3, following the consummation of the Merger the Reporting Persons intend to enter into a shareholders agreement governing their respective rights and interests in the Company and its subsidiaries.
 
The Schedule 13E-3 and the Contribution Agreement are incorporated by reference into this Item 4 and any description hereof is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto.
 
Other than as described in Item 4 above, none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any of the other persons named in Item 2, has any plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any of the actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, formulate other purposes, plans or proposals regarding the Company, or any other actions that could involve one or more of the types of transactions or have one or more of the results described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Item 5.
Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
 
The responses of the Reporting Persons to rows (7) through (13) of the cover page of this Schedule 13D are hereby incorporated by reference in this Item 5.
