Those statements are based on our assumptions and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the results we currently contemplate. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ from expectations include, for example, our failure to resolve the dispute with International Global Positioning, Inc., described below, and other factors set forth under the heading "Special Conditions" beginning on page 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2001. Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets In a prior Current Report on Form 8-K filed October 15, 2001, Hot Products, Inc.com ("HPIC") announced that it had entered into a Preliminary Agreement for a merger with International Global Positioning, Inc. ("IGP"). On November 2, 2001, IGP abruptly terminated its merger negotiations prior to the execution of the definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger. HPIC believes that IGP and its principals wrongfully terminated the Preliminary Agreement, and violated the doctrine of good faith and fair dealing practices. HPIC is evaluating its options to ensure that HPIC is fully compensated for any damages it may have suffered. HPIC is currently pursuing other merger opportunities and strategic partnership alliances as it continues its day-to-day operations.
