Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

In a series of transactions, the Company has acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of NBD Marketing, Inc., a California corporation ("NBD") and its wholly-owned subsidiary ProspectWorks ("ProspectWorks"), and SalesWare Inc., a Nevada corporation ("SalesWare"), and has formed an acquisition subsidiary, xSellsys, Inc., a California corporation ("xSellsys"), to acquire substantially all of the assets and liabilities of CRM SalesWare, Inc., a California corporation ("CRM SalesWare"). The transactions (the "Transactions") were structured as follows:

On June 21, 2004, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding common stock of NBD in exchange for the issuance of 7,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain Stock Purchase Agreement, dated June 21, 2004, by and among the Company, NBD and certain of the NBD shareholders.
