This information may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Applied Spectrum Technologies, Inc. ("Applied") to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements, which involve assumptions and describe future plans, strategies and expectations of Applied, are generally identifiable by use of the words "may," "will," "should," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "believe," "intend" or "project" or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that may be incorrect, and there can be no assurance that any projections or other expectations included in any forward-looking statements will come to pass.

Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement Effective July 14, 2006, Applied Spectrum Technologies, Inc. ("Applied") terminated the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Agreement") dated as of May 16, 2006, by and among Applied, Pro-Stars, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("Pro-Stars") and APSP Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Applied. The Agreement was terminated due to the failure of the transactions contemplated thereunder to have been consummated by June 30, 2006, which date was extended by Applied to July 14, 2006. Reference is hereby made to the Current Report on Form 8-K dated May 16, 2006 filed by Applied on May 19, 2006 announcing the execution of the Agreement, which is hereby incorporated by reference. On June 14, 2006, Applied also filed with the SEC and mailed to its stockholders an Information Statement pursuant to Section 14(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder ("Information Statement") informing them of the proposed change in control of Applied that would have occurred in the event the transactions under the Agreement were completed. The board of directors of Applied has determined that it is in the best interests of Applied's stockholders to terminate the Agreement. Applied is a "shell company" with nominal assets, whose sole business will be to identify, evaluate and investigate various companies with the intent that, if such investigation warrants, a reverse merger transaction be negotiated and completed pursuant to which Applied would acquire a target company with an operating business, with the intent of continuing the acquired company's business as a publicly held entity. 2 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Applied Spectrum Technologies, Inc. has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
