Item 2.03.

Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

On July 20, 2010, the Company executed a new $45,000 promissory note (the “Note”) to provide financing for a portion of the $58,161 purchase and installation cost for new hand-held price scanning guns that the Company had to purchase to replace older, refurbished equipment, in order to maintain the necessary compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (“PCI compliance”) for the processing of debit and credit card transactions. The remaining cost of the equipment was funded from working capital. The Note was entered into with the Company’s principal lender, Gateway Bank & Trust Company (“Gateway”).

The Company paid origination fees to Gateway of $450 in connection with this funding. The Note must be repaid in thirty-six (36) monthly payments of $1,381.34, beginning on August 20, 2010 with final payment due on July 20, 2013, bears interest at a fixed rate of 6.5% per annum, and is secured by a first priority lien on the new equipment in addition to being cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with the Company’s other existing indebtedness to Gateway. It includes affirmative and negative covenants and Events of Default which are customary for this type of indebtedness and the related security documents require the Company to provide insurance on the equipment.

The foregoing description of the Note and the related security documents is qualified by reference to the full text of the documents, which are filed as exhibits to this Report.
