ITEM 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

(the "Purchaser"), pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement ("Agreement") between the Company and the Purchaser, dated April 26, 2007. The purchase price of the shares was $0.21 per share, the closing market price of the Company's common stock on the date of the Agreement. At the closing on July 23, the Company sold 3.9 million shares to the Purchaser for $819,000. At a prior closing on April 30, 2007, the Company had sold 618,000 shares to the Purchaser for $129,780. Thus, the total consideration received in the transaction was $948,780 and the total number of shares purchased was 4,518,000. The Company used cash on hand to complete the purchase. The Company has previously reported the entry of the Agreement in a report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 1, 2007.
The Company claims an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") with respect to the foregoing, pursuant to the provisions of Regulation D of the Act. No commission or underwriter's discount was paid in connection with the sale to Westar. Item 5.01 Change in Control.
The Agreement gives the Purchaser the right to designate one member of the Board of Directors and the Company's chief executive officer. The Purchaser has designated Linda Contreras as the Company's sole director and chief executive officer, as reported in the Company's Form 8-K dated May 1, 2007, replacing Lawrence J. Finn, who resigned as the Company's chief executive officer and chief financial officer. The Company and the Purchaser are unaware of any other arrangements or groups regarding control of the Company or election of directors. Upon its purchase of 55% of the outstanding common stock of the Company, the Purchaser now has sufficient shares to elect all of the members of the Company's Board of Directors.
The Purchaser used cash on hand to pay the $978,780 purchase price.
