Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.  

Consultant Services Agreement

Effective July 1, 2009 we entered into a consultant services agreement with NAD Ltd., a Cyprus corporation to provide us with investor relations and programme implementation services. The consideration is:

(a)	a fee of US $4,000 payable each month;
(b)	120,000 stock options exercisable at $2.50 per stock option until July 1, 2014, subject to vesting provisions;
(c)	reimbursement of reasonable expenses incurred by the consultants.

The agreement is for a period of one year, with the option of a one year extension, and either party may terminate the agreement by providing the other party with 30 days written notice.

We issued the options to a non-U.S. person (as that term is defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) in an offshore transaction in which we relied on the registration exemption provided for in Regulation S and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Private Placement Subscription Agreement

On October 2, 2009 we issued an aggregate of 266,666 units of our securities at a purchase price of $2.25 per unit, pursuant to a subscription agreement. Each unit consists of one share of common stock in the capital of our company and 1.125 common share purchase warrants. One full warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional share of common stock at a price of $2.25 per warrant share for a period of two years.

The offer and sale of the units occurred outside of the United States. We issued the units to two non-U.S. persons (as that term is defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) in an offshore transaction in which we relied on the registration exemption provided for in Regulation S and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Stock Option Agreement

On October 19, 2009 we signed a stock option agreement with Alexandre Vamvakides which amends the June 11, 2009 stock option agreement to include vesting provisions. All other terms of the June 11, 2009 stock option agreement remain unchanged.
