Item 2.03: Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation

On January 11, 2007 the Company entered into agreements that create material direct financial obligations. The agreements are more fully described in Transaction 2 under Item 3.02 below.

 

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Securities

Transaction 1:

In December 2006, we issued an aggregate of 15,000,000 shares of common stock valued at $250,000 to Wallstreet Direct Inc. (Wallstreet) as compensation for marketing services to be performed on our behalf. Wallstreet has piggyback registration rights to have these shares included in any registration statement the Company may file after June 30, 2007.

Transaction 2:

On January 11, 2007, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with four accredited investors (the "Investors") for an aggregate amount of (i) $500,000 in secured convertible notes, and (ii) warrants to purchase 20,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the "Financing"). The Company anticipates that the proceeds of the Financing will be used to advance its eight part business plan which was summarized in its press release issued by the Company on June 3, 2005. The Financing will provide working capital to expand GOLD’n GRO fertilizer sales, EPA registration of the GOLD’n GRO Guardian deer repellant fertilizer, certain capital improvements to expand production capacity, and payment of existing debt obligations.

The Financing was made in reliance upon an exemption from securities registration afforded by the provisions of Section 4(2), Section 4(6) and/or Regulation D as promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The Financing was completed in one closing. The closing consisted of gross proceeds of $500,000, less financing costs of $5,000, for net proceeds of $495,000.

The Investors received three year convertible notes (the "Notes") bearing simple interest at 6% per annum. The Notes are

2


convertible into the Company’s common stock at a price equal to the lesser of (i) $0.10 or (ii) 55% of the average of the lowest 3 trading prices during the 20 trading day period ending one trading day before the conversion date. In addition, we granted the Investors a further security interest in substantially all of our assets, including the assets of our wholly owned subsidiaries, and intellectual property.

The parties entered into a Registration Rights Agreement whereby we are required to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 180 days of closing, registering the common stock underlying the secured convertible notes and the warrants. If the registration statement is not declared effective within 180 days from the date of closing, we are required to pay liquidated damages to the investors. In the event that we breach any representation or warranty in the Securities Purchase Agreement, we may be required to pay liquidated damages in shares or cash, at our election, equal to two percent of the outstanding principal amount of the secured convertible notes per month plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The Investors received seven year warrants to purchase a total of 20,000,000 common shares of the Company at a purchase price of $0.01 per share.

Other than under these Agreements and under certain specified circumstances, should we issue shares of common stock below the market price, the exercise price of the warrants will be reduced accordingly.

The conversion price of the secured convertible notes and the exercise price of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances such as if we pay a stock dividend, subdivide or combine outstanding shares of common stock into a greater or lesser number of shares, or take such other actions as would otherwise result in dilution of the selling stockholder's position.

The Investors have agreed to restrict their ability to convert their secured convertible notes or exercise their warrants and receive shares of our common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by them in the aggregate and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.9% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock.

The Company will pay a finder’s fee estimated at between 5% and 6% of the gross proceeds.

In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not be deemed to be "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, and shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
