Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

During November 18, 2010 through December 30, 2010, the Company issued 8,100,000 shares of common stock to twenty eight investors at a price of $0.20 per share.  The Company received total consideration of $1,620,000 in the offering.  The Company did not pay any commissions or underwriting discounts in connection with this offering.

The shares issued in this offering were made in reliance upon the exemption from registration set forth in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, relating to sales by an issuer not involving a public offering. Each of the investors was accredited, including one investor who is a director, officer and employee, one investor who is an officer and employee and one investor who is an employee.  Each investor was given information concerning the Company and represented that the securities were being acquired for investment purposes only. Appropriate restrictive legends were placed on the shares of common stock.

The information in this report furnished pursuant to Items 3.02 shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to liabilities of that section.  It may only be incorporated by reference in another filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, if such subsequent filing references Items 3.02 of this Form 8-K.
