Section 3. Securities and Trading Markets

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

On March 30, 2007, Auto Underwriters of America, Inc. (the “Company”) converted $933,000 of outstanding principal balance (the “Outstanding Amount”) due on certain 9.25% unsecured convertible promissory notes that matured on February 28, 2007 (the “Notes”) into 622,005 shares of the Company’s common stock, determined by dividing the Outstanding Amount by $1.50. Fractional shares were paid in cash. The shares were issued to a limited number of accredited investors.

            The common stock was offered and sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance upon the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and by Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.  The securities may not be offered or sold in the United States in the absence of an effective registration statement or exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act.  An appropriate “restricted” legend was placed on the securities.  An NASD-licensed broker dealer served as placement agent in connection with the conversion of the Notes and was paid an investment banking fee of $25,000 in connection with the transaction. 
 
            This Current Report on Form 8-K is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any of these securities.  This report is being filed pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 135c of the Securities Act.
