ITEM 1.01                  ENTRY INTO A DEFINITIVE MATERIAL AGREEMENT
 
ITEM 2.01                  COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
 
On April 3, 2008, Visual Management Systems, Inc (the “Company”) entered into an agreement with Intelligent Digital Systems, LLC (“IDS”) pursuant to which the Company purchased substantially all the assets of IDS.  In exchange for these assets, the Company issued to IDS (i) an unsecured Convertible Note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $1.544 million, bearing no interest until its maturity date, which is April 3, 2011 and (ii) $42,000 in cash, for a total purchase price of $1.586 million.  If not converted or paid within 30 days of maturity, then from and after the maturity date, the Note will bear annual interest at 12% per annum.  The Note is convertible at IDS’ discretion into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $1.15 per share after May 31, 2010, or upon the approval of a majority in interest of the holders of the Company’s then outstanding 5% Senior Secured Convertible Debentures (the “Debentures”), or any securities issued on conversion thereof.  The Company has agreed to register the shares issuable upon conversion of the Note for public resale.
 
As part of the transaction the Company and IDS entered into a joint venture to obtain approval of certain patent applications formerly held by IDS that are relevant to the Company’s industry which have been assigned to the joint venture.  The joint venture has granted the Company an exclusive license to use the technology which is the subject of the patent applications in the manufacture, distribution, integration and installation of digital video surveillance devices for the security industry.  If the patents are ultimately issued, the joint venture will seek to promote and market the technology underlying the patent applications, and will pursue claims against any parties potentially infringing on the protected technology.  Each of the Company and IDS has a 50% interest in the joint venture.
 
The Company and Jay Edmond Russ, the principal shareholder of IDS, have entered into a four year consulting agreement which requires the Company to pay Mr. Russ $75,000 per year for consulting services.
 
The description of the transaction contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the definitive agreements governing the transaction, which are filed as Exhibits to this report and incorporated herein by reference
 
ITEM 5.02                   DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR PRINCIPAL OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTOR; APPOINTMENT OF PRINCIPAL OF OFFICERS
 
On April 2, 2008, the Company appointed Caroline Gonzalez its Chief Operating Officer, pending approval of the Board of Directors of the Company.  Ms. Gonzalez previously served the Company as Chief Information Officer.  Kevin Sangirardi the former Chief Operating Officer was named the Company’s Director of Operations.
 
ITEM 3.02                   UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
 
On April 2, 2008, the Company issued 600,000 shares of its common stock to Mirador Consulting Inc. (“Mirador”) as compensation to Mirador for investor relations services offered to the Company pursuant to a March 24, 2008 Addendum to the Strategic Alliance Agreement between the Company and Mirador.  That Addendum extends the original Agreement until September 2009 and removes any cash component of Mirador’s compensation.  The Company relied upon the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in making such issuance.

ITEM 4.02                   NON-RELIANCE ON PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OR A RELATED AUDIT REPORT OR COMPLETED INTERIM REVIEW
 
On April 7, 2008, the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors concluded that the previously issued financial statements contained in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-QSB for the three and six months ended August 31, 2007, the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, and the pro forma consolidating balance sheet as of May 31, 2007, pro forma statement of operations for the three months ended May 31, 2007, and pro forma statement of operations for the 12 months ended February 28, 2007 contained in the Company’s Form 8-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 31, 2008 (which amended our Form 8-K filed on July 23, 2007) should not be relied upon because of errors that require a restatement of such financial statements.
 
In April 2008, in conjunction with the audit of the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company’s management, after discussions with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, determined that its previously issued financial statements for the periods identified above overstated revenues and misstated costs of goods sold, inventory and equity due to, among other things, the failure to properly account for intercompany sales and inventory and the failure to maintain proper controls over accounting procedures. 
 
The Company will file with the SEC a Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB/A for the three months ended August 31, 2007, a Form 10-QSB/A for the quarter ended September 30, 2007  and a Form 8-K/A containing a pro forma consolidating balance sheet as of May 31, 2007, pro forma statement of operations for the 3 months ending May 31, 2007, and pro forma statement of operations for the 12 months ending February 28, 2007, to reflect the changes required as a result of the restatement.  Management is still in the process of quantifying the full impact of these restatements and cannot, at this time, accurately disclose the total effect on the financial statements that will be restated.
 
The Company’s Audit Committee has discussed this matter with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.  The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm has been given a copy of the disclosure that the Company is making in this Item 4.02 of this Report on Form 8-K and has been asked to furnish a letter to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the Company in this Item 4.02.  A copy of a letter from the independent registered public accounting firm advising that it agrees with the statements in this Item 4.02 is filed as Exhibit 7.1 hereto.
 
ITEM 9.01                   FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS

7.4            Indemnification Procedures.  In the case of any claim asserted by a third party against a party entitled to indemnification under this Agreement (the “Indemnified Party”), notice shall be given by the Indemnified Party to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and the Indemnified Party shall permit the Indemnifying Party (at the expense of such Indemnifying Party) to assume the defense of any claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, provided, that (i) counsel for the Indemnifying Party who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such Indemnified Party’s expense, and (ii) the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligation under this Agreement except to the extent that such failure results in a lack of actual notice to the Indemnifying Party and such Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced as a result of such failure to give notice.  Except with the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, no Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that provides for injunctive or other nonmonetary relief affecting the Indemnified Party or that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability with respect to such claim or litigation.  In no event shall a party guilty of fraud or willful misconduct be entitled to indemnity with respect to any matter involving such fraud or willful misconduct.  In the event that the Indemnified Party shall in good faith determine that the Indemnified Party may have available to it one or more material defenses or counterclaims that are inconsistent with one or more of those that may be available to the Indemnifying Party in respect of such claim or any litigation relating thereto, the Indemnified Party shall have the right at all times to take over and assume control over the defense, settlement, negotiations or litigation relating to any such claim at the sole cost of the Indemnifying Party, provided, that if the Indemnified Party does so take over and assume control, the Indemnified Party shall not settle such claim or litigation without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.  In the event that the Indemnifying Party does not accept the defense of any matter as above provided, the Indemnified Party shall have the full right to defend against any such claim or demand, and shall be entitled to settle or agree to pay in full such claim or demand, subject to the written consent of the Indemnifying Party such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.  In any event, except to the extent that they have an interest adverse to the other, the parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense of any claim or litigation subject to this Section 7 and the records of each shall be available to the other with respect to such defense.
 
7.5           Remedies Not Exclusive. The remedies provided for in this Section shall not be exclusive of any other rights or remedies available by one party against the other, either at law or in equity.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that with respect to any Damages for which VMS is entitled to indemnification from IDS pursuant to Section 7.1 above, in the event that VMS makes demand for indemnification for any such Damages in accordance with the terms of this Section 7 and IDS fails to provide indemnification required to be made by it under the terms of this Section 7, VMS shall be entitled, as its sole and exclusive remedy under this Section 7, (i) first, to reduce the principal amount and any accrued interest thereon payable by VMS to IDS under the terms of the Note by the amount of such Damages, and if after application of the such reduction of the principal amount of the Note, any amount of Damages remain unpaid, then (ii) second, if all or any portion of the Note has been converted by IDS into shares of common stock of VMS (the “Conversion Shares”), to apply the remaining amount of such Damages to the repurchase by VMS of Conversion Shares having an aggregate value equal to the remaining amount of any such Damages (with each Conversion Share having a value equal to the greater of its then most recent closing sales price on the OTC Bulletin Board or other applicable trading market or the Conversion Price (as defined in the Note)) (each such reduction described in (i) or (ii) above, a “Set-off”).  VMS agrees that prior to application of any such Set-off pursuant to this Section 7, it shall provide ten (10) days advance written notice of such Set-off and the basis for such Set-off to IDS in accordance with the terms of Section 10.3 hereof.

9.4           Severability.  The covenants contained in this Section 9 herein shall be construed as a series of separate and severable covenants which are identical in terms except for subject matter and temporal duration.  If any court of competent jurisdiction determines that any such separate covenant is not fully enforceable, such covenant shall be deemed modified or severed and that the remainder of such covenant and of this Agreement shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
 
11

 
9.5            Injunctive Relief.  IDS and Member acknowledge and agree that breach of the covenants herein would cause irreparable harm.  VMS shall have the right to injunctive relief, in addition to all of its other rights and remedies at law or in equity, to enforce the provisions of this Section 9.
 
9.6           Early Termination of Restrictions.  In the event that, at any time during the Restricted Period, any “event of default” (as such term is defined in the Note) occurs under the Note, all obligations of and restrictions on IDS under this Section 9 shall terminate and be of no further effect effective as of the date of such “event of default” under the Note.
 
9.7           Permitted Activities.  The parties hereto acknowledge that Jay Russ, Managing Member of IDS (“Russ”), is a licensed and practicing attorney-at-law, currently practicing with the law firm Russ & Russ P.C.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Russ shall in no way be prohibited, restricted or otherwise limited from practicing law or otherwise providing legal services of any kind or nature to any person or entity, whether directly or indirectly through any firm or organization.

In the event of any change in the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable or in the consideration payable to the Company upon exercise of such options or rights or upon conversion of or in exchange for such convertible or exchangeable securities, including, but not limited to, a change resulting from the antidilution provisions hereof, the Conversion Price, to the extent in any way affected by or computed using such options, rights or securities, shall be recomputed to reflect such change, but no further adjustment shall be made for the actual issuance of Common Stock or any payment of such consideration upon the exercise of any such options or rights or the conversion or exchange of such securities.
       
  
 
4.2.4.4
The number of shares of Common Stock deemed issued and the consideration deemed paid therefor pursuant to Sections 4.2.4.1 and 4.2.4.2 shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any change, termination or expiration of the type described in Section 4.2.4.3.

The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this Section 4 and insuring that this Note (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.

4.5
Notice to the Holder.

Allocation of Profits and Losses
 
SECTION 1                                CONTRIBUTED PROPERTY
 
 
To the extent permitted or required by IRC § 704(c) and the regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to property contributed to the Company will be allocated among the Members so as to take account of the variation between the basis of the property to the Company and its fair market value at the time of contribution.  Allocations made under this Section 1 are solely for tax purposes and will not affect any Member’s Capital Account, share of Profits and Losses, or the right to receive distributions of the Company’s assets.
 
SECTION 2
SECTION 754 ELECTIONS
 
 
If the Capital Accounts of the Members are adjusted under Treas Reg § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m) because of an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of Company property under IRC § 732, IRC § 734, or IRC § 743:
   
   
(a)
the amount of the adjustment to the Capital Accounts will be treated as an item of gain if the basis of the property increases;
       
   
(b)
the amount of the adjustment to the Capital Accounts will be treated as an item of loss if the basis of the property decreases; and
       
   
(c)
the gain or loss will be allocated to the Members in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are adjusted under Treas Reg § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m).
 
SECTION 3
GUARANTEED PAYMENTS
 
 
To the extent that any compensation paid to a Member by the Company is determined by the Internal Revenue Service not to be a guaranteed payment under IRC § 707(c) or not to be a transaction between the Member and the Company under IRC § 707(a), the Member will be allocated income in an amount equal to the compensation payment and the Member’s Capital Account will be adjusted to treat the compensation payment as a distribution.
 
SECTION 4
RECAPTURE
 
 
In making any allocation among the Members of income or gain from a sale or other disposition of a Company asset, the ordinary income portion, if any, of the income or gain resulting from the recapture of cost recovery or other deductions will be allocated among those Members who were previously allocated, or whose predecessors-in-interest were previously allocated, the cost recovery deductions or other deductions resulting in the recapture items, in proportion to the amount of the cost recovery deductions previously allocated to them.
 

 
SECTION 5
WITHHOLDING
 
 
All amounts required to be withheld under IRC § 1446 or any other provision of applicable federal, state, or local tax law will be treated as amounts actually distributed to the affected Members.
 
SECTION 6
OTHER ALLOCATIONS
 
 
If this Agreement does not provide for the allocation of any items of Company income, gain, loss, credit, or deduction among the Members the items will be allocated among the Members in the same proportions as they share profits.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises contained herein and for good and valuable other consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:
 
 
ARTICLE I — GRANTS OF LICENSES
 
1.01           Grant

Subject to Section 1.01(b), Licensor grants to the Licensee and its Related Companies an exclusive (subject to the terms of this Agreement) license to the Licensed Technology to make, have made, use and sell products utilizing the Licensed Technology and to practice the Licensed Technology worldwide during the term of this Agreement, for the Licensed Use in the Industry.
     
 
(b)
The license granted in Section 1.01(a) shall be exclusive to Licensee for the Licensed Use in the Industry, subject to Section 1.01(c)
     
 
(c)
The Licensor shall not retain the right to use the Licensed Technology for the Licensed Use in the Industry for any purpose whatsoever, except in the case of settlement of any or all claims made by Licensor against third-parties for infringement of any kind of the Licensed Technology.  Licensor retains the right, in such situations to, in its reasonable business judgment, enter into one or more further licenses of the Licensed Technology in the Industry, except where use of any such Licensed Technology would compete in any material respect with the then current business of Licensee.
 

 
1.02           Duration
 
All licenses granted herein for any Licensed Patent component of the Licensed Technology and any Licensed Use shall continue until expiration of any issued patents that form a part of the Licensed Technology, subject in all respects to Article II, below.  All licenses granted herein for any Trade Secret component of the Licensed Technology, for the lesser of (i) in perpetuity or (ii) until the Trade Secret is no longer protectable as a trade secret, subject in all respects to Article II, below.

To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Holder against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities to which they may become subject under the Act, the 1934 Act or other federal or state securities law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or  violations (collectively, a "Violation"):
     
   
7.1.1.
Any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto (collectively, the "Filings");

The omission or alleged omission to state in the Filings a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; or
       
   
7.1.3.
Any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Act, the 1934 Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Act, the 1934 Act or any state securities law; and the Company will pay any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any person to be indemnified pursuant to this Section in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation that occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such Registration by any such Holder.
       
 
7.2.
To the extent permitted by law, the Holder, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the Registration Statement, its legal counsel and accountants, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act, any underwriter, any other holder of securities, selling securities in such Registration Statement and any controlling person of any such underwriter or other holder of securities, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing persons may become subject, under the Act, the 1934 Act or other federal or state securities law insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any violation of the Act, the 1934 Act or other federal or state securities law, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder expressly for use in connection with such Registration; and each such Holder will pay, as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this subsection 7.2, in connection with defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection 7.2 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, that, in no event shall any indemnity under this subsection exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by the Holder less the aggregate amount of any damages which the Holder has otherwise been required to pay in respect of such loss, claim, damage or liability or any substantially similar loss, claim, damage or liability arising from the sale of such Registrable Securities.

7.3.
Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding.  The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if materially prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section.
     
 
7.4.
If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect of any loss, claim, damage or expense referred to therein, then the indemnifying party in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.  In no event shall any Holder be required to contribute an amount in excess of the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder less the aggregate amount of any damages which the Holder has otherwise been required to pay in respect of such loss, claim, damage or liability or any substantially similar loss, claim, damage or liability arising from the sale of such Registrable Securities.
     
 
7.5.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions of the underwriting agreement shall control.
     
 
7.6.
The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 7 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement under this Agreement and/or the termination of this Agreement.

8.
