(Exact name of registrant as specified in its charter) Arizona (State or jurisdiction of incorporation or organization) 000-33039 (Commission File Number) 86-0932112 (I.R.S. Employer Identification Number) 18300 Von Karman, Suite 710, Irvine CA 92612 (Address of principal executive offices) (Zip Code) Registrant's telephone number: (949) 809-2126 8350 East Evans Road, Suite B-4, Scottsdale, AZ 85260 (Former name or former address, if changed since last report) ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS. The Registrant has acquired, through a stock for stock tax-free exchange, CalbaTech, Inc. ("CalbaTech") as a wholly-owned subsidiary. The acquisition is pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Exchange ("Agreement"). Pursuant to the Agreement, CalbaTech has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant and will, when practicable, merge into the Registrant and change the name of the Registrant to CalbaTech, Inc. CalbaTech is incorporated in Nevada and is focused on incubating life science based companies that are developing next generation products and technologies. Products and/or technologies that fit the CalbaTech model for development are those that will be capable of generating sales or licensing revenue within two years, and will require less than $1,000,000 to bring a product to market. CalbaTech is acquiring technologies and/or products fitting its model through a stock swap of a small percentage its own shares for 100% of the shares of the company being acquired. This is a pre-curser to licensing and/or selling the products and/or technologies to organizations capable of commercializing them, or in the alternative, maintaining the acquired technologies or products and operating them under CalbaTech. CalbaTech intends to accomplish its mission in three ways: 1) Through technology transfer alliances with universities, both in California and Scotland, for which CalbaTech acquires, licenses and finances the further development of new university technologies to reach the market place; 2) Identification and acquisition of non- university developed technologies, and specifically, providing a proven path for United Kingdom technologies to enter into the US marketplace; and 3) Development of technological innovations in-house by CalbaTech scientists. To date, CalbaTech has reached preliminary agreements with the following companies to either acquire and incubate, or to provide funds in exchange for equity, a percentage of gross profits, or an exclusive license: - A biomedical technology company based in Scotland that is developing and manufacturing instruments and consumables for use in diagnostic and immunological research procedures in clinical and research laboratories worldwide. This company has completed development of its first product and has begun sales through a distribution network in the UK. - A Southern California based company developing a novel device for DNA and RNA purification in sample preparation. DNA and RNA are purified from cellular lysate using "smart membranes", circumventing the need for tedious procedures involved in biomagnetic and other solid phase extraction techniques. - Collaboration with an eminent physicist developing a novel technique, which in his opinion represents a fundamental breakthrough in radiation detection technology. The key advantages of this technique are that it can be applied to the remote detection of nuclear materials. The Registrant, pursuant to Board of Director and shareholder approval, shall take all steps necessary to effect a Fourteen for One (14 for 1) reverse split of its outstanding shares. The Registrant, for the acquisition of CalbaTech, agreed to issue, post-reverse, a total of Nine Million, Seven Hundred and Six Thousand, Four Hundred and Seventy-Three (9,706,473) shares of the Registrant to the shareholders of CalbaTech, such that, post issuance of the acquisition shares and post-reverse split, the shareholders of CalbaTech will own Eighty-Nine Percent (89%) of the then outstanding shares of the Registrant. It is further understood that in the event that there are not enough shares authorized to issue the entire Eighty-Nine Percent (89%) controlling interest to CalbaTech prior to its acquisition, the Registrant will issue all of the shares that it has authorized and understands and agrees that the Registrant, post acquisition of CalbaTech, will take such steps necessary to increase the number of authorized shares and thereafter issue that amount of shares to equal the agreed upon Eighty-Nine Percent (89%) interest. Post issuance of acquisition shares and post-reverse split, in addition to the outstanding shares of the Registrant prior the acquisition of CalbaTech, there will be Ten Million, Nine Hundred and Six Thousand, One Hundred and Forty-Nine Shares outstanding with the shareholders of CalbaTech owning Nine Million, Seven Hundred and Six Thousand, Four Hundred and Seventy-Three (9,706,473) shares of the Registrant. CalbaTech further agreed to pay a total of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) as follows: CalbaTech paid a total of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) upon the execution of the Agreement and CalbaTech agrees to make another payment of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) three (3) months after the Closing, and a final payment of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) six (6) months after closing (the "Remainder Payments"). It is the understanding of CalbaTech and the Registrant that those monies will be used for the settlement of all remaining outstanding creditor liabilities of the Registrant that existed prior to the acquisition of CalbaTech. The Remainder Payments will be made pursuant to a Promissory Note between CalbaTech and a liquidating trust designee. The Promissory Note will be signed by CalbaTech, and its founders as individuals, specifically Edward Deese, James DeOlden, Esq., and John F. Gordon, Ph.D. It is understood and agreed to by the Registrant that CalbaTech is not, under any circumstances, assuming the debts, liabilities and obligations of the Registrant. ITEM 5.
