Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement

        On June 15, 2007, Cognigen Networks, Inc. (the “Company”) signed a Letter of Intent (“LOI”) regarding the prospective issuance and sale of shares of the Company’s common stock to BayHill Capital, LLC (“BayHill”), as described more fully in Item 8.01 below. In connection with the execution of the LOI, on June 15, 2007, BayHill extended to the Company a short-term loan in the amount of $100,000 and the Company executed and delivered to BayHill a promissory note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $100,000. The Note bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum. The Company anticipates that the Note will be repaid either by crediting the principal amount of the Note, together with accrued interest, against the purchase price set forth in the proposed definitive stock purchase agreement, more fully described in Item 8.01 below or, in the event the Company and BayHill do not execute a definitive stock purchase agreement within 90 days from the date of the LOI, BayHill, at its option, may require the Company to repay the principal amount of the Note, together with accrued interest, or require the Company to convert the principal amount of the Note, together with accrued interest, into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price per share which is equal to the lesser of $0.05 or eighty percent (80%) of the average closing bid price of the Company’s common stock for the five days immediately preceding the date of BayHill’s election.

        The Company’s obligations under the Note are secured by a subordinated lien on all of the Company’s assets, as set forth in a Security Agreement entered into by and between the Company and BayHill, dated June 15, 2007 (the “Security Agreement”). The Security Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants, including obligations regarding the use, maintenance and transfer of the Company’s assets, and grants to BayHill customary rights of a secured creditor in the event the Company defaults in the performance of its obligations under the Note or the Security Agreement.

        Copies of the Note and the Security Agreement are attached to this Report as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, and the foregoing descriptions are qualified in their entirety by reference to those exhibits.

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement

        The disclosure required by this item is included in Item 1.01 above and is incorporated by reference.

Item 8.01 Other Events

        The LOI sets forth the general terms and conditions upon which the Company proposes to sell to BayHill, and BayHill proposes to purchase from the Company, 15,000,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.08 per share, for a total purchase price of $1,200,000. The principal operative provisions of the LOI are non-binding and remain subject to the negotiation by the Company and BayHill of a definitive stock purchase agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”). The Company anticipates that if the parties are able to negotiate and consummate the transactions to be set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement, the purchase price would consist of $700,000 in cash and $500,000 in marketable securities. If the Shares are issued to BayHill, BayHill would become the majority shareholder of the Company, holding approximately 59% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. The LOI provides that if certain outstanding options and warrants to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock are exercised, and/or convertible preferred shares and/or related accrued undeclared dividends are converted into shares of the Company’s common stock, the Company would issue additional shares of common stock to BayHill so as to maintain BayHill’s 59% ownership of the Company’s common stock. The proposed transaction is subject to the parties agreeing to a definitive Stock Purchase Agreement within sixty days of the execution of the LOI.

        If the Company and BayHill are able to negotiate and enter into a definitive Stock Purchase Agreement, upon the closing of the transactions to be described in the Stock Purchase Agreement, BayHill would designate three of the five persons to serve as directors of the Company. The Company presently anticipates that a reconstituted board would appoint new executive officers, one of whom would be the Company’s current Acting President and CEO, Gary L. Cook.

        The LOI also addresses the intention of the Company and BayHill to explore the possibility of separating the Company’s agent-network-Internet-enabled core business (“CCB”) and the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Cognigen Business Systems, Inc. (“CBSi”) into two distinct operating entities, by granting an option to a group of the Company’s current shareholders to purchase an 81% interest in each of CCB and CBSi in return for the cancellation of 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and the assumption of certain liabilities. The LOI also reflects the intention of the Company and BayHill to explore the possibility that the remaining public entity would seek to conduct business as a business development company pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940 as amended.

        BayHill is affiliated with BayHill Group, LLC, a Utah limited liability company (“BayHill Group”). BayHill Group currently owns 169,732 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock. BayHill Group has previously served as a consultant to the Company.

        The foregoing summary of the proposed transactions described in the LOI is qualified in its entirety by reference to the LOI, a copy which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. The principal operative terms of the LOI are non-binding and remain subject to the negotiation and execution of a binding Stock Purchase Agreement. There can be no assurance that the Company and BayHill will be successful in their efforts to negotiate and execute a definitive Stock Purchase Agreement or that, if a definitive Stock Purchase Agreement is negotiated and executed, it will contain terms and conditions that are consistent with the provisions of the LOI.

Forward-Looking Statements

        In addition to historical information, this Report and the exhibits attached hereto contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include statements regarding the anticipated terms and conditions of a stock purchase agreement which the Company has not yet commenced negotiating and which may never be executed. Such statements encompass the Company’s beliefs, expectations, hopes or intentions regarding future events. Words such as “expects,” “intends,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “should,” “likely” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements.

The Company assumes no obligation and does not intend to update any forward-looking statement. Actual results will vary, and may vary materially, from those anticipated, estimated, projected or expected for a number of reasons, including, among others: the ability of the Company and BayHill to reach agreement on the terms and conditions of the proposed stock purchase transaction, a due diligence review to be conducted by BayHill in connection with the anticipated negotiations, the willingness of third parties, whose actions are beyond the control of the Company or BayHill, to facilitate the proposed transactions, various regulatory filings and potential regulatory scrutiny, the Company’s failure to accurately forecast the response of the Company’s principal shareholders to the proposed transactions and the willingness of those shareholders to participate in the proposed transactions; and the challenges of competing successfully in a highly-competitive and rapidly-changing industry. Other factors that may cause actual results to vary from the Company’s expectations include developments associated with fluctuations in the economy and the demand for the Company’s products and services; the Company’s limited financial resources (even if the proposed transactions are consummated); the Company’s ability to obtain capital necessary to pursue its proposed plan of operations; variations in market and economic conditions; the degree and nature of competition; the ability of the Company to expand its product and service offerings to new and existing markets; and other unanticipated factors. Risk factors, cautionary statements and other conditions which could cause actual results to differ from the Company’s current expectations are contained in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the risk factors set forth in the Company’s most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-KSB and Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB.The Company is not entitled to rely on the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Section 2lE of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, when making forward- looking statements.
