ITEM 1.01. ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.
The Company and its wholly owned subsidiary entered into a definitive asset purchase agreement dated February 15, 2005, with GFC, Inc., a South Carolina corporation, and Michael Allora, President and a principal shareholder of GFC, Inc., to acquire certain assets and assume certain liabilities of GFC, Inc., an unaffiliated, non-asset based, freight transportation company. The assets being acquired include trucking and brokerage authority permits, contracts with shipping customers, contracts with agents, lease contracts with owner-operators, escrow deposits from owner-operators and agents and business telephone numbers. The liabilities being assumed are those obligations corresponding to owner-operator and agent escrow deposits. The acquisition purchase price will be $300,000, of which $100,000 will be paid by canceling a $100,000 debt of GFC to the Company, with the balance being payable over a period of two years, subject to partial acceleration in the event gross revenues of the Company's subsidiary exceed certain specified levels. In addition, the Company has agreed to issue GFC a three-year warrant to purchase 200,000 shares of the Company's common stock, which vests 50% on the closing date and 50% on the one year anniversary of the closing date. The closing of this transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, as well as the execution of a mutually acceptable consulting agreement between the Company and Michael Allora, GFC's principal, and confirmation by the Company's auditors that GFC's books and records are sufficient in form and scope to permit financial statements of GFC for each of the two years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 to be audited in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
