Item 3.02.  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

         On October 20, 2004,  the Board of Directors of Greenbriar  Corporation
("GBR" or the  "Registrant")  issued  separate  Warrants to  purchase  shares of
Common  Stock,  par value $0.01 per share,  of GBR. Such Warrants were issued to
two individuals  specified below to purchase the number of shares opposite their
respective  names below at a purchase price of $3.58 per share during the period
from October 1, 2005 through and including  October 31, 2009. The purchase price
of the  Warrants  set forth in the table  below which  amounts  shall be applied
against and in reduction  of the  Exercise  Price per share at the time of first
exercise  of  part  or all of each  Warrant.  Each  Warrant  was  issued  to the
individuals  specified below in part for their assistance in finding,  analyzing
and ultimately  causing the consummation of a specified  transaction,  including
assistance in the conduct of due diligence on the  transaction.  The transaction
in question was the acquisition by GBR on October 12, 2004 of shares of stock of
two domestic U.S.  corporations  which  indirectly  own  approximately  74.4% of
CabelTEL AD. Each Warrant contains a special provision which renders it null and
void if  presentation  of a transaction to GBR's  stockholders,  together with a
mandatory  exchange  of a series  of  preferred  stock  for  common  stock  (the
"Transaction")  is not  approved  prior to  October  1,  2005,  and a  recission
contingency  occurs.  The Warrants were issued  without  registration  under the
Securities Act of 1933 to the individuals set forth below covering the number of
shares set forth below at a purchase price for the Warrant as set forth below:

                                       No. of Shares of
