Item 2.01.

Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

On August 28, 2008, the Registrant completed the acquisition of LampLighter Studios, Inc. (“Lamplighter”) by way of merger (the “Merger”) under the Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization dated August 28, 2008 (the “Agreement of Merger”). At the time of the Merger, there was no material relationship between LampLighter and the Registrant or any of its affiliates, or any director or officer of the Registrant, or any associate of any such officer or director. The Registrant issued an aggregate of 1,594,095 shares of its common stock, par value $.001, to stockholders of LampLighter as consideration for the merger, which issuance is subject to potential future downward adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Agreement of Merger.


The foregoing description of the Agreement of Merger does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Agreement of Merger, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K.   


Item 3.02

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.


The issuance at the consummation of the merger described above of 1,594,095 shares of the Registrant’s common stock, par value $.001, was made in a private placement in reliance upon exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. As consideration for the issuance of its stock, the Registrant acquired 100% ownership of LampLighter in the Merger.


This offering and sale of shares qualified for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 since the offering was not a public offering. The offering was not a public offering as defined in Section 4(2) because the offer and sale was made to an insubstantial number of persons and because of the manner of the offering. In addition, these investors had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(2) since they agreed to, and received, share certificates bearing a legend stating that such shares are restricted. This restriction ensures that these shares will not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not be part of a public offering. This offering was done with no general solicitation or advertising by the Registrant. Based on an analysis of the above factors, the Registrant believes it has met the requirements for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 for this transaction.


Item 8.01

Other Events.


The Registrant issued the press release which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.  


Item 9.01.

Financial Statements and Exhibits.


(a) Financial Statements of Business Acquired.


Pursuant to Item 9.01(a)(4) of Form 8-K, any financial statements required by Rule 3-05(b) of Regulation S-X will be filed by amendment not later than 71 calendar days after [due date of Form 8-K]


(b) Pro Forma Financial Information

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of each of Acquisition Corp. and the Company have approved the Merger in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of California (the “GCL”), and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the Agreement of Merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) attached as Exhibit A hereto; and the Board of Directors of Parent also has approved this Agreement and the Certificate of Merger;

WHEREAS, the requisite Stockholders (as such term is defined in Section 10 hereof) have approved by written consent pursuant to Section 5516 of the GCL this Agreement and the Certificate of Merger and the transactions contemplated and described hereby and thereby, including without limitation the Merger, and Parent, as the sole stockholder of Acquisition Corp., has approved this Agreement, the Certificate of Merger and the transactions contemplated and described hereby and thereby, including without limitation the Merger;

WHEREAS, the parties hereto intend that the Merger contemplated herein shall qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), by reason of Section 368(a)(2)(E) of the Code.

At the Effective Time:

(i)

Amount and the Net Asset Adjustment resulting therefrom (collectively, the “Draft Adjustment Report”).  Parent shall deliver the Draft Adjustment Report to the Company and to Rose (who for purposes of this Section 4 shall be collectively referred to as “Seller”) within such 30-day period after the Closing Date.

4.5

Final Determination.  

Within five Business Days after the final determination of the Net Asset Adjustment in accordance with this Section 4, Rose shall assign to Parent that number of shares of Parent Common Stock in an aggregate amount equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the amount by which the Estimated Closing Date Net Asset Amount exceeds the Closing Date Net Asset Amount by (y) the Fair Market Value per share of the Parent Common Stock as
