Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
On October 15, 2002, Carmina Canada Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Carmina Technologies Inc. acquired all the shares of Worldwide Online Corp. (WWO), a wholly owned subsidiary of the registrant for a consideration of 650,000 restricted shares of Carmina Technologies Inc. valued at $357,500. An additional 350,000 or 600,000 shares will be received by September 30, 2003 provided WWO achieves specific gross revenue, gross margin and earnings before income tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) targets during the twelve month period ending August 31, 2003 and the value of the consideration will be adjusted accordingly. To obtain the maximum of 1,250,000 shares, WWO must achieve gross revenues of CAN $ 1,400,000, gross margins of CAN $ 500,000 and cumulative EBITDA of CAN $ 60,000 in the twelve month period. The amount of consideration was arrived at in arm's length negotiations with the purchaser and the consideration price per share was based on the most recent sale price of Carmina Technologies Inc.'s stock on the OTCBB prior to signing the letter of intent on August 26, 2002. No director or officer of the registrant or WWO, or any associate of such director or officer has any relationship with the purchaser.
