Item 5.  OTHER EVENTS.

         On July 6, 2001, XBOX Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Agreement") with
YOUpowered, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("YPI"). Pursuant to the Agreement, You
Acquisition, Inc., a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, will
merge with and into YPI (the "Merger"), and YPI will become a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company (the "Surviving Corporation").

         Pursuant to the Agreement and in connection with the Merger, holders of
shares of YPI's common stock, Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred
Stock that are outstanding as of the effective time of the Merger (the
"Effective Time") will be issued, in the aggregate and as consideration for such
shares, a number of units (the "Units") equal to the purchase price divided by
$1.797 (the "Initial Consideration"). Each Unit consists of 5 shares of common
stock of the Company and one share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of
the Company (the "Company Preferred Stock"). Each share of Company Preferred
Stock is convertible into five (5) shares of the Company's common stock.

         The Agreement provides that the purchase price will be equal to two
times the net cash of YPI, and that net cash will be an amount equal to
$1,923,673, as such amount may be adjusted at the Effective Time for certain
contingencies more particularly identified in the Agreement. As a result of the
Merger, XBOX will acquire, through the Surviving Corporation, the net cash of
YPI and all of YPI's other assets, including its proprietary software.

         In addition to the Initial Consideration, the Agreement provides that
the Company will be required to issue additional Units and/or shares of its
common stock to the stockholders of YPI depending on the resolution of certain
contingent liabilities following closing, the revenue of the Company for the
twelve month period ending November 30, 2001 and the trading price of the
Company's common stock during the thirty trading days preceding the eighteen
month anniversary of the Effective Time.

         The consummation of the Merger is subject to a number of conditions,
including the approval of the Merger by the holders of the requisite number of
shares of YPI's common stock, Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred
Stock. Adoption of the Agreement and approval of the Merger requires the
approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of YPI's common
stock, holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of YPI's Series A
Preferred Stock and holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of YPI's
Series B Preferred Stock, each voting as a separate class. The Company
anticipates that the requisite approval by YPI's stockholders will be received
by July 13, 2001, and the Merger will be consummated shortly thereafter.
However, the Company cannot provide any assurance that such approval will be
received by this date, if at all. If the requisite approval by YPI's
stockholders is not received by July 13, 2001, the Company will not be obligated
to consummate the Merger and will be entitled to terminate the Agreement.

         The foregoing descriptions of the Agreement are qualified in their
entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, which is attached
hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
