Acquisition of interests of VI
The Company acquired just under a 50% interest of Operation Unit in a series of transactions. In connection with the Asset acquisition, on November 17, 2010, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “APH Agreement”) with APH pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue 36,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company as well as a 6% Convertible Note in the principal amount of $1,200,000 due February 15, 2011 (the “APH Note”).  On December 30, 2010, the Company and APH entered into an amendment to the APH Agreement whereby the number of shares to be delivered by the Company was reduced from 36,000,000 to 25,000,000.  Further, on December 30, 2010, in order to expedite the transaction and avoid further dilution of the existing shareholders, Medirad and Rasel, both shareholders of the Company, have agreed to return an aggregate of 70,000,000 shares of common stock to the Company for cancellation upon closing of the APH Agreement.  The above transaction closed on December 30, 2010.

In connection with the acquisition of just under 50% of Asset, the Company owes APH on a short-term note payable in the principal amount of $1,000,000, and $52,110 in accrued interest, and owes HAM on a short-term note payable in the principal amount of $600,000, and $17,458 in accrued interest.  The notes and accrued interest are thus classified as short-term liabilities on the financial statements included herein reflecting the anticipated extension of maturity (both Notes mature on June 30, 2011 and the Company is in default).

Pending Transactions and Outstanding Letters of Intent
As a development stage company, the Company pursues acquisitions and joint ventures from time to time, and has a number of Letters of Intent (“LOI”) outstanding for various transactions.  At the LOI stage, the Company attempts to determine if the two companies may be integrated and to assess the synergies of the companies.  If the synergies that may result from the transaction are not acceptable, the LOI is cancelled.

On May 24, 2011, the Company countersigned a Letter of Intent dated May 17, 2011 (the “LOI”) with a foreign corporation (“Paragon”) pursuant to which Paragon agreed to sell and the Company agreed to purchase a 51% interest in Paragon in consideration of $17,595,000 to be paid by the Company in cash and shares of common stock.  Paragon is a provider of advanced Forex trading platform for the online Forex industry, it committed to pioneering the next generation of comprehensive, added-value solutions for Forex operators based on intimate industry experience and cutting-edge technologies. A portion of the consideration shall be paid to the shareholders of Paragon. The Parties have not yet determined how the consideration will be allocated. Except for various miscellaneous provisions, this LOI is non-binding.  Final closing is subject to certain procedures including satisfactory due diligence, and approval of the final definitive agreements by the Boards of Directors of the Company and Paragon, among others.  There is no guarantee that the parties will reach a final agreement, that the Company will be able to raise the required funds to close the transaction. or that the transaction will close on the terms set forth as agreed in the LOI.

Broker Dealer – Forex was formed with the express intent of providing online trading services to retail customers giving them access to online foreign currency trading.  The Company’s Board believes that Broker Dealer (“BD”) business would complement its existing business, notwithstanding new regulations under the Dodd-Frank Act. The Company has identified and made offers to acquire minority interests with regulated BDs which have not yet matured to the LOI stage. The Company is still actively pursuing these opportunities, which if they become closed transactions will require the Company to reassess the domicile of its core Forex investment, as BDs are a highly regulated business, whereas the exiting platform is an offshore, relatively unregulated business.

Gold trading project - During the third quarter of 2011, the Company entered negotiation with a domestic party (“DP”) to potentially joint venture on trading actual gold. In essence, DP holds a license from a South American country to trade gold.
