SECTION 3 SECURITIES AND TRADING MARKETS
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
On October 15, 2008, the Companys Board of Directors approved the issuance of 5 million restricted shares of Company common stock each to directors Dr. Martin Maassen and Dr. Michael Bagnoli in exchange for their forgiveness of loans previously made to the Company, for a total of 10 million shares issued to them. The dollar value of the debts paid off to Drs. Bagnoli and Maassen is $200,000 each, for a per share issuance price of $0.04 per share.
These debt conversion transactions were effected in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as transactions not constituting a public offering of securities because the shares were issued privately without general solicitation or advertising, and no selling commissions were paid.
Also on October 15, 2008, the Company issued 2,500,000 common shares to Starr Consulting, Inc. and its assigns in exchange for forgiveness of a promissory note made in favor of Starr Consulting, Inc. on August 7, 2006 and having a face amount of $50,000 plus interest accrued of $50,000. The estimated price per share of the transaction is $0.04. The Company has agreed that it will issue additional shares to Starr Consulting, Inc. and its assigns if they fail to realize $100,000 in proceeds from their 2,500,000 shares within 90 days of issuance. Starr Consulting, Inc. retained 500,000 shares and assigned 500,000 shares to each of the following entities: Power Network, Inc., BAF Consulting, Inc., New Age Sports, Inc., and Seville Consulting, Inc.
This debt conversion transaction was effected in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as transactions not constituting a public offering of securities because the shares were issued privately without general solicitation or advertising, and no selling commissions were paid.
