Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 28, 2006, the Registrant (or "Company") and Richard P. Kiphart ("Noteholder"), a director of the Company, entered into a Share Purchase and Debt Restructure Agreement ("Agreement"). The parties entered into the Agreement for the purpose, among others, to restructure the Company's long-term and short-term debt into equity and to sell Company common stock to the Noteholder for cash to be used for working capital and possible acquisitions. The closing of the transactions ("Transactions") contemplated by the Agreement is subject to satisfaction of certain conditions which have not been satisfied as of the date of this Form 8-K, but are expected to be completed in approximately thirty days.

The Company's subordinated convertible debt due September 30, 2004 ("2000-2004 Convertible Notes") in the approximate aggregate principal amount of $7,805 as of June 30, 2006, subordinated convertible pay-in-kind notes due June 1, 2006 ("2002-2006 Convertible Notes") in the approximate aggregate principal amount of $4,740,466 as of June 30, 2006, and term notes due June 30, 2006 in the approximate aggregate principal amount of $245,637, have matured and the Company lacks funds to repay those notes. The Company also has outstanding subordinated convertible pay-in-kind notes due September 30, 2007 ("2003-2007 Convertible Notes"), in the approximate aggregate principal amount of $1,095,413 as of June 30, 2006, subordinated convertible pay-in-kind notes due September 30, 2009 ("2005-2009 Convertible Notes") in the approximate aggregate principal amount of 267,213 as of June 30, 2006, and other outstanding promissory notes (collectively, "Demand Notes") in the approximate aggregate principal amount of $15,746, as of June 30, 2006, respectively.

A. Sale of Company Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, the Company agreed to sell an aggregate of 433,333,333 shares ("New Shares") of Company common stock, $0.001 par value, at $0.015 per share to the Noteholder, certain family members of the Noteholder, Christopher Capps (the Company's new President and Chief Executive Officer) and other prospective board members, for the aggregate sum of $6,500,000 ("New Capital"). The Company has received $1.1 million of the New Capital from the Noteholder as of the date of this Form 8-K for which the Noteholder acquired 73,333.333 shares of Company common stock. The balance of the New Capital will be paid to the Company upon the Company filing an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation ("Amendment to Certificate") that increases the number of authorized shares of Company common stock from 200,000,000 to 2,000,000,000 shares of common stock. Such Amendment has been approved by the Company's board of directors. Holders of a majority of the outstanding common stock have agreed to vote in favor of the Amendment. The Company expects to file the Amendment to Certificate with the Delaware Secretary of State on the 20th day after the Company's Information Statement has been mailed to its stockholders notifying them about the action taken by written consent of the holders of a majority of outstanding shares of common stock to approve the Amendment to Certificate, and the action to file such Amendment. The mailing of the Information Statement to stockholders is expected to be made on or about September 11th.

B. Adjustment of Conversion Price of Convertible Notes and Other Debt. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company agreed to adjust the conversion price of all outstanding Convertible Notes, including, without limitation, the 2002-2006 Convertible Notes, the 2003-2007 Convertible Notes and the 2005-2009 Convertible Notes, and agreed to adjust the conversion price of certain convertible Demand Notes, and agreed to permit the holders of the Company's other Demand Notes to exchange those notes, in each case, for one (1) share of Company common stock for each $0.015 amount of indebtedness.

C. Conversion of Company Debt into Equity. The Noteholder agreed to convert all of his Convertible Notes and Demand Notes into shares of common stock at the same $0.015 per share conversion price. Subject to the filing of the Amendment to Certificate in accordance with the Agreement, the Noteholder will receive approximately 360,980,730 shares of the Company common stock upon conversion of his Convertible Notes and Demand Notes. The other holders ("Other Holders") of Convertible Notes, Demand Notes and certain indebtedness owed by the Company have agreed to convert the entire principal amount thereof, together with accrued interest thereon, into shares of Company common stock, at the price of $0.015 per share, all effective as of the closing of the Transactions. The Other Holders will receive approximately 35,318,000 shares of Company common stock upon such conversions.

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The New Shares are being sold pursuant to the exceptions provided by
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Act") and Regulation D, promulgated thereunder. The Noteholder and the other individuals who acquired, or acquire, New Shares are or will be each an "accredited" investor, as that term is defined in Rule 501 in Regulation D of the Act. No general solicitation or advertising was employed by the Company, or anyone else associated with the Company in connection with the placement of the New Shares. No commissions were paid. The certificates representing the New Shares will bear appropriate restrictive legends. All of the shares being acquired by the Noteholder and Other Holders pursuant to conversion or other exchange are being issued pursuant to an exemption under the Act and applicable securities laws. All certificates representing the shares of common stock to be issued to Noteholder and Other Holders will bear appropriate restrictive legends.

According to the Noteholder, the Noteholder and the other individual purchasers of New Shares used, or will use, personal funds to acquire the New Shares.



Item 5.01. Changes in Control of Registrant.

Upon receipt by the Company of the New Capital, the Noteholder will acquire from the Company shares of Company common stock constituting a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Company common stock, which will result in a change in control with respect to the stock ownership of the Company such that the Noteholder will hold the majority of the issued and outstanding of the Company common stock. As a result of his share ownership, the Noteholder will be able to elect all of the directors who comprise the Board of Directors, which represents a change in the majority control of the Board.
