Item 7.01: Regulation FD Disclosure

Press Release

We issued a press release on October 17, 2011 stating that certain entities (the “Entities”) had entered into agreements with three of our largest creditors granting each of the Entities an option to purchase the debt which was owed to said creditors by us. These Entities entered into agreements with us in which we granted to each of the Entities an option to convert an aggregate of $836,506.51 of our debt into an aggregate of up to 83,650,651 shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.01 per share. There can be no assurance that any of the options referred to in this paragraph will be exercised. We remain liable for full payment of the principal, interest and all obligations pursuant to our indebtedness to our creditors for that portion of the indebtedness with respect to which the option is not exercised. In addition, with respect to two of such creditors ($324,908 of debt), we remain liable for the payment of any portion of our indebtedness if the consideration for the option is not paid to the creditor regardless of whether such option is exercised.

Management has been advised that during the month of October another entity (the “Entity”) will enter into an agreement with our largest creditor granting the Entity an option to purchase the debt which was owed to such creditor by us. This Entity intends to enter into an agreement with us in which we grant to the Entity an option to convert an aggregate of $1,176,466 of our debt into an aggregate of up to 39,215,533 shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.03 per share. There can be no assurance that the option referred to in this paragraph will be exercised. We remain liable for full payment of the principal, interest and all obligations pursuant to our indebtedness to this creditor for that portion of the indebtedness with respect to which the option is not exercised.

If all of the options are exercised, this will be a major step in cleaning up our balance sheet. In addition, we intend to restructure into an international developer and syndicator of solar power projects.
