SECTION 1 REGISTRANT’S BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS

ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

On June 30, 2008, Balsam Ventures, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Release Agreement with Norpac Technologies, Inc. (“Norpac”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to release Norpac from any legal claims and liabilities in connection with a license agreement dated November 30, 2003, as amended on January 12, 2006, (the “License Agreement”) between the Company and Norpac (the “Release”). Under the terms of the License Agreement, Norpac had previously granted a license to the Company over its self chilling beverage container technology. However, Norpac’s patents over this technology expired. As such, in exchange for the Release, Norpac agreed to:

(a)	surrender for cancellation the 5,545,000 shares of the Company’s common stock which were issued to Norpac under the License Agreement; and

(b)	assign an indebtedness owed to Norpac of approximately $612,000 plus accrued interest to the Company. Readers are cautioned that there is substantial doubt that the Company will be able to collect any or all of this indebtedness.

The summary of the foregoing is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Release Agreement, which is included as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
