Convertible Promissory Note Financing

On August 6, 2008, Sunburst Acquisition III, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a financing arrangement with three accredited investors pursuant to which the Company issued to the investors convertible promissory notes in the principal amount of $150,000 (the "Bridge Notes").  In addition to the Bridge Notes, in lieu of interest and other consideration, the Company issued the investors an aggregate of 906,912,000 shares of common stock of the Company.  The closing occurred on July 28, 2008.

The Bridge Notes mature on the second anniversary of the date of issuance (the "Maturity Date").  The Company may prepay the Bridge Notes at anytime upon five days written notice to the holder.  If upon the closing of the  Company’s next equity financing in which the Company sells newly-issued shares of its equity securities or securities convertible into equity securities and the Company receives gross cash proceeds of $1,000,000 or more  (the “Subsequent Financing”) on or before the Maturity Date, the investors may elect to (i) convert the outstanding principal of the Bridge Notes into the securities issued in connection with such Subsequent Financing at a conversion price equal to 75% of the per share or unit purchase price of the Subsequent Financing  or (ii) receive payment in cash of the outstanding amount due under the Bridge Notes.

The Company claims an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) for the private placement of these securities pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder since, among other things, the transaction did not involve a public offering, the investors are accredited investor and/or qualified institutional buyer, the investors had access to information about the Company and its investment, the investors took the securities for investment and not resale, and the Company took appropriate measures to restrict the transfer of the securities.

Change in Management/Board of Directors

On August 6, 2008, the Company appointed Robert Brooke (“Brooke”) to serve as the Chief Executive Officer and Richard McKilligan (“McKilligan”) to serve as the Chief Financial Officer, Chief Accounting Officer and Secretary of the Company.  In addition, Brooke and McKilligan were appointed as directors of the Company.  Mr. Scott Mac Caughern resigned as an executive officer and director of the Company on August 6, 2008.

There are no understandings or arrangements between Brooke and McKilligan and any other person pursuant to which either was selected as a director.  Brooke and McKilligan presently do not serve on any Company committee. Brooke and McKilligan may be appointed to serve as a member of a committee although there are no current plans to appoint either of them to a committee as of the date hereof.  Brooke and McKilligan do not have any family relationship with any director, executive officer or person nominated or chosen by the Company to become a director or executive officer.  Additionally, except for the employment agreement described below, Brooke and McKilligan has never entered into a transaction, nor is there any proposed transaction, between Brooke and McKilligan and the Company.
