On January 14, 2005, eight (8) shareholders, Keith Cannon, Himani Shesthra, Jerrold L. Walkenfeld, Edward and Laura Murphy, Joseph L. Murphy, Daniel Sullivan, Sy Syms, and Sheldon S.

Ditanna of King of Prussia, Pennsylvania (“HVST Acquisition”).  Under the terms of Purchasers agreement with the selling shareholders, Shepley acquired 8,200,000 restricted common shares (approximately 6.0% of the current issued and outstanding) of the Company and HVST Acquisition acquired 68,960,000 restricted common shares (approximately 50.4% of the current issued and outstanding).  Each purchaser reported that the source of funds used to purchase the shares were their own funds for investment purposes from U.S. banks.  The current Board of Directors was asked to appoint additional members to the Board, including two (2) independent directors by the Purchasers as part of the overall transaction, namely Mr. James A. Ditanna, Mr. Curtis Hunsinger, and Mr. Troy Getz.


ITEM 5.02

DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR PRINCIPAL OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF PRINCIPAL OFFICERS

Effective January 18, 2005, the current Board of Directors of the Company appointed James A.

Following the appointment of the New Directors, Joseph L. Murphy, Daniel Sullivan and Eve Traube resigned as Directors, officers and all other positions held with the Company. Their resignations were not as a result of any disagreement with the Registrant over any matters relating to the Registrant’s operations, policies or practices.  With the resulting absences in the positions of Chairman, President and Chief Financial Officer, the Board of Directors appointed Mr. Ditanna as Chairman and President and appointed Curtis Hunsinger as Chief Financial Officer.  All current Directors have agreed to currently serve without compensation pending a thorough examination by the Board of Directors of the Company’s business.
