ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

On May 12, 2004,  after approval by the Board of Directors,  the Company entered
into a Stock for Stock Exchange Agreement with Jimmy L. Boswell, David G. Lucas,
Reginald W. Einkauf and John D. Miller (collectively the Principals) pursuant to
which the  Principals  agreed to  exchange  with the  Company a total of 800,000
shares of the  Company's  common  stock owned by the  Principals  for all of the
outstanding  common stock of the  Company's  wholly-owned  subsidiary,  Cognigen
Switching Technologies, Inc. ("CST"), and warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of
the Company's common stock effective  February 1, 2004. The warrants will expire
on January 31,  2009,  and have an exercise  price of $0.3015,  which equals the
average  closing price for the  Company's  common stock for the 20 days prior to
closing. The number of shares and warrants were determined based on negotiations
between representatives of the Company and the Principals.

The closing was effective May 21, 2004. At the closing CST entered into a Master
Services Agreement (MSA) to provide the Company with telecommunications  rating,
billing, provisioning,  customer care, commissioning and database management for
a fee. The MSA is effective February 1, 2004.

As part of the  closing,  CST entered  into a new note with an  existing  lender
representing  approximately  $223,000  in debt.  Further,  at the  closing,  all
options to purchase  common stock of the Company  issued to CST  employees  were
terminated  except for the option to purchase  200,000  shares of the  Company's
common stock owned by Jimmy L. Boswell  which option  expires in August 2004 and
is exercisable at $3.68 per share.

As of May 21,  2004,  Jimmy L. Boswell is the  President  and a director of CST,
David G.  Lucas is the former  chief  financial  officer  and  director  of CST.
Reginald W. Einkauf and John D. Miller are former  officers and directors of the
Company.  The Principals and another person sold all of the outstanding stock of
CST to the Company for shares of the Company's common stock in April 2000.

In conjunction with the Stock for Stock Exchange Agreement,  goodwill with a net
book  value  of  $2,893,029  has  been  written  off.  With   consideration   of
approximately $26,000,  calculated using the Black Scholes method of calculation
for the 200,000 warrants, goodwill of $2,893,029 and $168,448 in negative equity
that  are  being  assumed  by the  Principals,  and the  800,000  shares  of the
Company's common stock that are being  repurchased from the Principals valued at
$.31 per share,  the Company  recorded a loss of $2,502,583 on this  transaction
that is included in the  statement  of  operations  that the Company  previously
filed with the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission for the quarter ended March
31,2004.
