ITEM 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
The Company has issued nine convertible debentures to a total of four separate investors in the total aggregate face amount of $435,276.  Each debenture accrues interest at the rate of 10% per annum.  The debentures are convertible into common shares of the Company at the per share price of the lesser of (i) $0.05 or (ii) the average of the three (3) lowest intra-day trading prices of the Common Stock during the 20 Trading Days immediately prior to the date on which the Notice of Conversion is delivered to the Company.  Each debenture recipient also received warrants for the purchase of common shares of the Company at the exercise price of $0.05 per share.  The number of common shares that can be purchased pursuant to the warrants is equal to the number of common shares into which the corresponding debenture can be converted.  The securities were issued pursuant to the exemption from registration set forth in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 since there was no public offering in connection with the issuance of the securities and pursuant to Rule 506(b) of Regulation D.  The debentures and warrants were issued pursuant to the transaction documents in the form attached to this filing as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3.
