Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

From May 16, 2012 through July 25, 2012, we entered into a series of agreements to issue 5,420,833 shares (135,521 post-split shares after the 1:40 reverse stock split effected August 1, 2012) of “restricted” common stock for celebrity endorsements of our products and services. The restricted stock vested 25% immediately upon the signing of the agreement and then vests 6.25% per month over the following twelve months.

On June 12, 2012, we issued 48,000 (1,200 post-split) shares of common stock to investors' counsel in order to pay for legal services totaling $6,000 related to the issuance of our $75,000 convertible promissory note dated May 4, 2012, as amended June 4, 2012.

On July 2, 2012, we entered into an agreement to issue 2,848,824 (71,221 post-split) shares of common stock to our former law counsel in order to pay for general legal services totaling $356,103.

The shares of common stock issued in the transactions described above have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and were issued and sold in reliance upon the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder. These 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.
