ITEM 1.01.  ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND MUTUAL RELEASES

     As of January 28, 2005, we entered into a Settlement Agreement (the
"Settlement Agreement") with Amiram Ofir, who, prior to that date had been: (a)
our Chief Executive Officer, and a director of ours, and (b) an officer and
director of our subsidiaries and affiliates, (i) VSUS Secured Services, Inc., a
Delaware corporation, (ii) First Info Network, Inc., a Delaware corporation,
(iii) Safe Mail Development Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the
State of Israel ("Safe Mail"); and (iv) Safe Mail International Ltd., a company
organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands ("SMI") (collectively,
the "Subsidiaries").

     Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, among other things:

         1. Mr. Ofir resigned (or agreed to resign) as our Chief Executive
Officer, and as a director of ours, and as an officer and director of the
Subsidiaries, as further described in Item 5.02 below. In addition, Hannah Ofir,
Mr. Ofir's spouse, resigned as our Secretary, as further described in Item 5.02
below.

         2. The Employment Agreement between Mr. Ofir and Safe Mail, for his
services as our Chief Executive Officer, and as a director of ours, and as an
officer and director of Safe Mail, dated as of January 1, 2003 (the "Employment
Agreement"), was terminated, as further described in Item 1.02 below.

         3. 4,389,000 shares of our common stock held by Ofir Holding Limited, a
company controlled by Mr. Ofir, and 649,000 shares of our common stock, jointly
owned by Mr. Ofir and Mrs. Ofir, were sold to Eli Kissos, our new President and
director, for an aggregate purchase price of $170,000 (the "Purchase Price").
The Purchase Price was negotiated as part of the overall settlement, and,
therefore, does not necessarily represent the market value of shares of our
common stock on the date of the transaction. For more information on Mr.
Kissos's appointment as an officer and director of ours, see Item 5.02 below.

         4. Stock options to purchase: (a) 1,750,000 shares of our common stock,
at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, which had an expiration date of
December 31, 2007, and (b) 90,000 shares of our common stock, at an exercise
price of $0.001 per share, which were immediately exercisable and had an
expiration date of January 31, 2009, which we previously granted to Mr. Ofir
pursuant to our 2003 Stock Option Plan, were terminated.

         5. Stock options to purchase: (a) 1,093,750 shares of our common stock,
at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, which expire on December 31, 2007
(which amount is identical to the amount of stock options described in 4(a)
above that had vested as of the effective date of the Settlement Agreement), and
(b) 90,000 shares of our common stock, at an exercise price of $0.001 per share,
which expire on January 31, 2009 (collectively, the "New Options"), were granted
to Mr. Ofir, as further described in Item 3.02 below. All of the New Options
vested immediately upon their grant. We agreed that any registration statement
we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register the shares of
common stock underlying our outstanding Series A Preferred Stock, shall also
include the shares of our common stock underlying the New Options. Mr. Ofir
agreed to subject the shares underlying the New Options to any lockup agreement
as to which the holders of our Series A Preferred Stock agree to subject the
shares of our common stock underlying such securities.

         6. The right, title and interest to certain of our assets, including,
without limitation, our Internet Web site www.safe-mail.net, and the corporate
name and trademark "SAF-email," were transferred and assigned to ViVaVu Systems,
Ltd., a new company organized by Mr. Ofir ("ViVaVu"), and, accordingly, we
agreed to change Safe Mail's corporate name.

                                       2


         7. We agreed to reimburse Mr. Ofir the sum of $40,000 in repayment of
certain of our expenses he caused to be paid on our behalf during the fourth
quarter of 2004. In addition, since Mr. Ofir intends to continue Safe Mail's
business under the auspices of ViVaVu, we agreed to: (a) pay certain current
payables of Safe Mail, estimated to be approximately $20,784, on or before the
earlier of (i) the consummation of an acquisition we are intending to complete,
or (ii) any debt or equity financing we consummate for the purposes of such
acquisition; and (b) issue a promissory note to Mr. Ofir in the amount of
$20,000, payable without interest on June 30, 2005.

         8. We executed mutual general releases with Mr. Ofir and Mrs. Ofir (the
"Releases"), for all liabilities, debts, expenses and obligations that either
party owes to the other, except for certain obligations explicitly set forth in
the Settlement Agreement. The Releases are annexed hereto as Exhibits 10.2 and
10.3.

         9. Mr. Ofir agreed not to compete with us, through December 31, 2006,
in certain business opportunities we intend to pursue.

         10. Certain of our employees (the "Employees") resigned and, we
believe, became employees of ViVaVu, and, accordingly, we agreed to transfer
funds in the accounts we had been maintaining for such Employees, pursuant to
Israeli law, to the applicable Employees. In addition to such funds, there are
additional amounts we would have owed the Employees if any of them had been
fired (the "Deficit Amounts"). The total Deficit Amounts are estimated to be
approximately $44,932. We have agreed that, in the event Mr. Ofir terminates any
of the Employees on or before December 31, 2006, and pays such Employee's pro
rata portion of the Deficit Amounts, subject to certain conditions, we will
reimburse him for such expenditure.

     The Settlement Agreement is annexed hereto as Exhibit 10.1.

SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT, SOFTWARE ESCROW AGREEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
AGREEMENT

     Also, as of January 28, 2005, we entered into a Software License Agreement
with ViVaVu (the "Software License Agreement"), pursuant to which we granted a
worldwide, perpetual license, including the right to sublicense, to ViVaVu, to:
(a) use certain software and related intellectual property of ours (the
"Original IP") internally in its own operations, or those of its affiliates,
which may include providing services to third parties; and (b) incorporate the
Original IP, in object code form only, in larger programs and systems, which
ViVaVu may commercially market, license and sell copies of, in object code form
only (the "License").

     The License is exclusive through December 31, 2006, through which period
ViVaVu has agreed not to compete with us in certain business opportunities we
intend to pursue. During such period, we have agreed not to sublicense (other
than to end users), transfer, sell or assign any software using or deriving in
part from the Original IP. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we are not prevented
or restricted from: (a) the continued development of the Original IP as part of
our current or future business; or (b) the sublicense of any such software to
bona fide end users.

     As partial consideration for the License granted by us to ViVaVu under the
Software License Agreement, Mr. Ofir caused Galiad Computers Ltd., a company
controlled by him ("Galiad"), from which we had originally purchased the
Original IP, to release us from any and all liability for sums due to Galiad, or
its affiliates, as compensation for such original transfer of the Original IP.

                                       3


     Any modifications or updates made to the Original IP by a party, pursuant
to the Software License Agreement, shall be the exclusive property of the party
that developed it, subject to the terms of the Development Services Agreement
(as further described below).

     The Software License Agreement is annexed hereto as Exhibit 10.4.

     In connection with the Software License Agreement, we entered into a
Software Escrow Agreement with ViVaVu, dated of even date therewith (the "Escrow
Agreement"), pursuant to which we agreed to place the current source code for
the Original IP, along with any incidental documentation or other ancillary
materials (collectively, the "Source Material"), in escrow.

     During the term of the Escrow Agreement, ViVaVu will have sole access to
the Source Material. Pursuant to the Development Services Agreement (as further
described below), ViVaVu is required to provide us with certain software
development services. To the extent that ViVaVu modifies the Original IP in
providing development services to us, it shall modify the Source Material in
escrow.

     Subject to certain additional conditions stated in the Escrow Agreement,
the Source Material shall be released and delivered to ViVaVu, in the event: (a)
we give written instructions to the escrow agent to make such delivery,
accompanied by payment of any amounts due to the escrow agent under the Escrow
Agreement; (b) we fail to pay the fees of the escrow agent when due, pursuant to
the Escrow Agreement; or (c) we have voluntarily or involuntarily been deemed to
be bankrupt.

     Subject to certain additional conditions stated in the Escrow Agreement,
the Source Material shall be released and delivered to us, in the event: (a)
ViVaVu gives written instructions to the escrow agent to make such delivery,
accompanied by payment of any amounts due to the escrow agent under the Escrow
Agreement; (b) ViVaVu materially defaults under the terms of the Development
Services Agreement (described below), and fails to cure such default within
fifteen (15) Israeli business days after notice of such default; or (c) ViVaVu
has voluntarily or involuntarily been deemed to be bankrupt.

     The Escrow Agreement is annexed hereto as Exhibit 10.5.

     In addition, as of January 28, 2005, we entered into a Development Services
Agreement with ViVaVu (the "Development Services Agreement"), pursuant to which,
for the consideration set forth in the Development Services Agreement, on a
case-by-case basis, ViVaVu will provide us with: (i) certain customer service
and support; (ii) certain development services with respect to the Original IP,
which may include, among other things, software design, programming, maintenance
and training; and (iii) certain hosting services.

     Any work product of ViVaVu, created for us pursuant to the terms and
conditions of the Development Services Agreement, shall be owned exclusively by
us.

     The Development Services Agreement is annexed hereto as Exhibit 10.6.

ITEM 1.02.  TERMINATION OF MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

     On January 1, 2003, we entered into an Employment Agreement with Amiram
Ofir (the "Employment Agreement"), to serve as our Chief Executive Officer and a
director of ours, and as an officer and director of Safe Mail. Pursuant to the
Employment Agreement, we were currently paying Mr.


                                       4


Ofir a salary of approximately $99,000 per annum, in addition to approximately
$52,400 of other annual compensation.

     On January 28, 2005, Mr. Ofir resigned as our Chief Executive Officer, and
a director of ours, and resigned (or agreed to resign) as an officer and
director of the Subsidiaries (as further set forth in Item 5.02 below). This
resignation occurred pursuant to the Settlement Agreement (as further described
in Item 1.01 above). Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, Mr. Ofir's Employment
Agreement was also terminated, with no obligations thereunder surviving for
either party thereto.

ITEM 3.02.  UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES.

     In connection with Amiram Ofir's services as our Chief Executive Officer,
and as a director of ours, and as an officer and director of the Subsidiaries
(as applicable), pursuant to our 2003 Stock Option Plan: (a) on January 1, 2003,
we granted Mr. Ofir non-qualified options to purchase 1,750,000 shares of our
common stock, at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, which had an expiration
date of December 31, 2007 (the "2003 Options"); and (b) on February 1, 2004, we
granted Mr. Ofir non-qualified options to purchase 90,000 shares of our common
stock, at an exercise price of $0.001 per share, which were immediately
exercisable and had an expiration date of January 31, 2009 (the "2004 Options").

     As of January 28, 2005, pursuant to the Settlement Agreement (as further
described in Item 1.01 above), all of the 2003 Options and 2004 Options were
terminated, and were replaced with: (a) non-qualified options to purchase
1,093,750 shares of our common stock, at an exercise price of $0.01 per share,
which expire on December 31, 2007 (which amount is identical to the amount of
2003 Options that had vested as of that date); and (b) non-qualified options to
purchase 90,000 shares of our common stock, at an exercise price of $0.001 per
share, which expire on January 31, 2009 (collectively, the "New


                                       5


Options"). All of the New Options vested immediately upon their grant. We
believe that this transaction is exempt from registration under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 4(2), or Regulation D promulgated
thereunder, as a transaction by an issuer not involving a public offering.

     We have agreed that any registration statement we file with the Securities
and Exchange Commission to register the shares of common stock underlying our
outstanding Series A Preferred Stock, shall also include the shares of our
common stock underlying the New Options. Mr. Ofir has agreed to subject the
shares underlying the New Options to any lockup agreement as to which the
holders of our Series A Preferred Stock agree to subject the shares of our
common stock underlying such securities.

ITEM 5.01.  CHANGES IN CONTROL OF REGISTRANT.

     As of January 28, 2005, we entered into the Settlement Agreement (as
further described in Item 1.01 above), with Amiram Ofir, who, prior to that date
had been our Chief Executive Officer, and a director of ours, and an officer and
director of the Subsidiaries (as applicable). Pursuant to the Settlement
Agreement, among other things:

         1. 4,389,000 shares of our common stock held by Ofir Holding Limited, a
company controlled by Mr. Ofir, and 649,000 shares of our common
stock, jointly owned by Mr. Ofir and Mrs. Ofir, were sold to Eli Kissos, our new
President and sole director, for an aggregate purchase price of $170,000 (the
"Purchase Price"). The Purchase Price was negotiated as part of the overall
settlement, and, therefore, does not necessarily represent the market value of
shares of our common stock on the date of the transaction.

     2. Mr. Ofir resigned as our Chief Executive Officer, and as a director of
ours, and as an officer and director of Safe Mail, and Mrs. Ofir resigned as our
Secretary, as further described in Item 5.02 below.

     In addition, as of the effective date of the Settlement Agreement, Eli
Kissos was appointed as our President and sole director. For more information
regarding Mr. Kissos's appointment as an officer and director of ours, see Item
5.02 below.

     By virtue of: (a) Mr. Kissos's acquisition of approximately 40.7% of our
issued and outstanding common stock; (b) the resignations of Mr. Ofir as an
officer and director of ours, and of the Subsidiaries, and Mrs. Ofir as an
officer of ours; and (iii) the appointment of Mr. Kissos as our President and
sole director, a "change of control" of our company is deemed to have occurred
as of January 28, 2005.

     To the knowledge of our management, except as otherwise previously
disclosed, there are no present arrangements or understandings, which may result
in a change in control of our company.

            APPOINTMENT OF PRINCIPAL OFFICERS.

RESIGNATIONS OF AMIRAM OFIR AND HANNAH OFIR

     1. Amiram Ofir resigned as a director of ours, and resigned (or agreed to
resign) as a director of the Subsidiaries. The primary reason for his

positions on any committee of our board of directors, or the boards of the
Subsidiaries, at the time of his resignation.

     2. Mr. Ofir resigned as our Chief Executive Officer, and resigned (or
