Item 3.02

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities


During the period from March 1, 2014 through the date of this filing, the Company made a number of issuances of its restricted common stock as consideration for consulting services, and to reduce its obligations. The policy for most of its recurring consulting agreements is to issue shares monthly based on a formula that provides for a specific dollar amount, currently ranging from $3,500 per month, to $10,000 per month, to certain individuals. In some cases a one time issuance was also provided as compensation for work performed before consideration of a recurring event. Further, from time to time, it enters into consulting agreements that call for a one time only payment to certain groups or individuals. The list of current period issuances appears in the table below. As a result of these transactions, the Company issued 4,455,830 shares during the period from February 17, 2014 (the last reported date of issuances) though the date of this filing, leaving its shares of common stock outstanding at 39,765,736 at this date. There are no preferred, or other classes of shares, outstanding at this time. There are no warrants, options, or convertible debt outstanding at this time.

———————

NOTE 1 – During 2014 the Company expects to issue restricted common stock as payment for a number of consulting agreements for specific assistance related to curriculum development, new product development, business development and other general consulting. These agreements call for specific one time, or per month, amounts and are paid for in stock. The number of shares to be issued is determined monthly, based on the amount owed for that month, divided by 110% of the ten (10) day average closing price for stock during the first ten (10) days of the month in which the charge was incurred. In some cases, an initial issuance of shares was made at the beginning of the effort, generally for work already performed. All of these agreements are subject to cancellation on sixty (60) days notice.


NOTE 2 – As described in NOTE 1, certain of the consulting agreements entered into call for a one time payment for services rendered, either as an initial payment, or for payment of services rendered. The issuances noted here are for those one time payments.





NOTE 3 – The compensation policy during FY2014 for members of the Board of Directors includes 1) an initial issuance of 350,000 shares on joining the Board, and 2) an annual stipend of 150,000. The issuances noted here cover the initial issuance for Maurine Findley, who joined the Board in March 2014. The Board has authorized the issuance of the Board of Directors Annual Stipend for Ms. Lance, Mr. Leath and Mr. Honeycutt., who will each receive 150,000 shares.


NOTE 4 – During the period the Company generally makes an attempt to convert any debts owed into common stock issuances, as a prudent effort to clean its balance sheet of obligations. Any shares issued are restricted shares. The accounting requires that the shares issued be charged to the Company based on the closing price of the stock on that day, as if the shares were free trading, even though they were restricted. Any adjustments in accounting will be reflected in the fiscal audit report for the period ended 12/31/14.


NOTE 5 – The Board is authorizing the issuance of the Board of Directors Annual Stipend for Ms. Lance, Mr. Leath and Mr. Honeycutt. This is the standard compensation plan for directors of the Company, and provides for the issuance of 150,000 restricted shares for each director.


NOTE 6 – The Board has authorized the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of restricted stock to Ms. Maurine Findley as a part of her employment as CFO effective March 6, 2014.


NOTE 7 – To provide funding for short term operations the Company sold $50,000 of restricted stock at a price of $.08 per share. There were no stipulations, conditions or requirements under the sale.
