ITEM 2.01.

COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS


ITEM 3.02.

UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES


On September 23, 2013, the Registrant, through its newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary, SorbTech Manufacturing, Inc. (“SorbTech”), acquired certain assets from Mark Ceaser, an individual. These assets consist primarily of intellectual property and know-how, including patent rights. In addition, the acquired assets include product prototypes.  Mr. Ceaser has not realized any revenue in connection with his prior ownership of these assets.


The Registrant, through SorbTech, intends to utilize the assets acquired to establish a business involving the manufacture, distribution and sale of proprietary consumer and commercial spill control products for the hazardous and bio-hazardous waste clean-up markets.


In consideration of the assets acquired from Mr. Ceaser, the Registrant issued Mr. Ceaser 350,000 shares of the Registrant’s restricted common stock, and agreed to pay $25,000, in 10 equal monthly installments of $2500 each. In addition,  SorbTech agreed to employ Mr. Ceaser for a term of three years at a rate of $65,000 per annum. Either party may terminate the employment relationship upon 30 days’ notice in addition,. Mr. Ceaser is entitled to certain incentive compensation, based upon product sales by SorbTech.


Between August 1, 2013 and September 23, 2013, the Registrant sold an aggregate of 540,000 shares of its common stock, as follows: 90,000 shares were issued to a consultant for services rendered, 100,000 shares of common stock were sold for $.25 per share, for aggregate consideration of $25,000, and 350,000 shares were issued in connection with the acquisition described above.  The company sold for face value ($150,000) convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $150,000.  These notes are convertible into common stock at the rate of $.125 per share.


In each case, the securities were issued to persons whom the Registrant believes to be “accredited investors” within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In addition, between July 26 and July 31, 2013, the Registrant issued an aggregate of 160,000 shares of its common stock to a consultant for services.


The Registrant believes that the foregoing transactions were exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“the Act”), based on the following facts: there was no general solicitation, there was a limited number of purchasers, each of whom the Registrant believes was  an “accredited investor” (within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) and was sophisticated about business and financial matters, and all shares issued were subject to restriction on transfer, so as to take reasonable steps to assure that the purchaser was not an underwriter within the meaning of Section 2(11) under the Act.
