(the “Issuer”).  The address of the Issuer's principal executive office is 200 Crescent Court, Suite 1400, Dallas, Texas 75201.
 
Item 2.
Identity and Background.
 
(a) – (c)  This Schedule 13D is filed jointly by Lorex Investments AG, a Swiss corporation (“Lorex”), Dieter Esch, and Peter Marty (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”).  Because Dieter Esch is the sole stockholder of Lorex and Peter Marty is the sole officer and director of Lorex (Dieter Esch and Peter Marty are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Controlling Persons”), the Controlling Persons may be deemed, pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”), to be the beneficial owners of all shares of Common Stock held by Lorex.
 
The principal occupation of Dieter Esch is acting as an entrepreneur.  The principal occupation of Peter Marty is serving as an officer and director of Lorex.  The principal business of Lorex is investing in securities.  The principal place of business for Lorex and Peter Marty is c/o Mattig-Suter und Partner, Bahnhofstrasse 28, Schwyz, CH-6431, Switzerland.  The principal place of business for Dieter Esch is 1090 Primrose Place, Park City, UT 84098.
 
(d) No Reporting Person has, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).
 
(e) No Reporting Person has, during the last five years, been 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) Lorex is organized under the laws of Switzerland.  Mr. Esch is a citizen of Germany.  Mr. Marty is a citizen of Switzerland.
 
Item 3.
Source and Amount of Funds and Other Consideration.
 
On February 17, 2009, 30,882,553 shares of Common Stock were issued to Lorex by the Issuer in connection with the closing of the Acquisition Agreement (as defined below).  Such shares of Common Stock were issued to Lorex as partial consideration for the acquisition of all the outstanding securities of Wilhelmina International, Ltd. and its affiliated companies by the Issuer.
 
Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction.
 
In connection with the execution of that certain agreement entered into on August 25, 2008 by and among New Century Equity Holdings Corp., Wilhelmina Acquisition Corp., Wilhelmina International, Ltd., Wilhelmina – Miami, Inc., Wilhelmina Licensing LLC, Wilhelmina Artist Management LLC, Wilhelmina Film & TV Productions LLC, Lorex Investments AG, Krassner Family Investments Limited Partnership, Dieter Esch, Brad Krassner (“Krassner”), Sean Patterson and the shareholders of Wilhelmina – Miami, Inc. (the “Acquisition Agreement”), Issuer acquired Wilhelmina International, Ltd. and its affiliated companies.  As partial consideration for its equity interests in Wilhelmina International, Ltd. and its affiliates, Lorex received 30,882,553 shares of the Common Stock of Issuer.  The transaction contemplated under the Acquisition Agreement closed on February 17, 2009.  Concurrently with the closing of the Acquisition Agreement, the Issuer, Lorex and Dieter Esch entered into a mutual support agreement (the “Mutual Support Agreement”), pursuant to which Lorex and Dieter Esch have been granted certain voting rights and tag-along rights, which include Dieter Esch’s right to designate in writing a director to be elected to the Issuer’s Board of Directors.  Pursuant to the Mutual Support Agreement, Lorex and Dieter Esch also agreed to vote in favor of three Newcastle representatives and one Krassner representative to become members of the Board of Directors of Issuer.  The tag-along rights will remain in effect until the first registration statement relating to the securities described in this report is declared effective.  The tag-along right requires Newcastle Partners, L.P. (“Newcastle”) to give prior written notice to each of Lorex and Mr. Esch if Newcastle or any of its affiliates desires to transfer any of its Common Stock of Issuer to a third party purchaser in a transaction or series of related transactions involving the transfer of Common Stock owned by Newcastle or its affiliates representing in the aggregate at least 20% of the shares held by Newcastle at such time.  Lorex and Mr. Esch shall each have the opportunity and right to sell to the proposed transferee up to the same proportion of its or his shares of Common Stock as would be sold by Newcastle in such proposed transaction.  If Lorex or Mr. Esch exercise their tag-along right, Newcastle must attempt to obtain the same agreements and commitments from the proposed transferee as Newcastle obtained from the proposed transferee in respect to its transfer of shares.  To the extent Newcastle cannot obtain such agreements and commitments from such proposed transferee, Newcastle, Lorex, Mr. Esch and any other person having similar rights, shall reduce the number of shares being sold by Newcastle, Lorex, Mr. Esch and any other person having similar rights, such that Newcastle, Lorex, Mr. Esch and any other person having similar rights, each sell a proportionate number of shares of the total number of shares that such proposed transferee is in fact acquiring from Newcastle, Lorex, Mr. Esch and any other person having similar rights.

Concurrently with the closing of the Acquisition Agreement, the Issuer, Dieter Esch, Lorex, Krassner, Krassner Family Investments Limited Partnership and Olshan Grundman Frome Rosenzweig & Wolosky LLP (the “Escrow Agent”) entered into an escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”), pursuant to which Lorex irrevocably authorized the Issuer to deposit 9,614,873 shares of Common Stock (the “Restricted Shares”) with the Escrow Agent.  Pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, Lorex grants the Issuer repurchase rights for the Restricted Shares in the event there is a Core Decrease, Total Divisional Loss and/or an Excess Divisional Loss (each as defined in the Acquisition Agreement) and Lorex fails to pay Issuer the dollar amount of such loss.
 
The foregoing description of the Acquisition Agreement, Mutual Support Agreement and Escrow Agreement are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Acquisition Agreement, Mutual Support Agreement and Escrow Agreement.  A copy of each of the Acquisition Agreement, Mutual Support Agreement and Escrow Agreement is filed as an exhibit hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
 
Given the Reporting Person’s beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock and its right to name a director to the Board of Directors of Issuer, the Reporting Persons may try to influence the affairs of Issuer, although there are no such definitive plans at the time of filing this Statement.  None of Lorex, Dieter Esch or Peter Marty has any current plans or proposals which relate to or would result in: (a) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer, or the disposition of securities of the Issuer; (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or of any of its subsidiaries; (d) any change in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board; (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (f) any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure; (g) changes in the Issuer’s charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any other person; (h) causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; (i) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act; or (j) any similar action to those enumerated above, other than as described in the Acquisition Agreement filed as an exhibit hereto.
