On May 11, 2007 the Registrant entered into an acquisition agreement (the "Acquisition Agreement") with Sichuan Valencia Trading Limited ("SVTL"), a Chinese limited liability company duly organized under Chinese law. A copy of the Acquisition Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1. The reader is advised to review the agreement in its entirety.
Immediately prior to the execution of the Acquisition Agreement, SVTL owned 20% of the total interests, rights, assets, shares, and/or other ownership interests of True Product ID Technology (Beijing) Limited, formerly known as Sure Trace Technology (Beijing) Limited (the "Chinese JV Company"), a Chinese technology limited liability corporation duly formed and organized under Chinese law (the "SVTL 20% Chinese JV Interest"). Under the Acquisition Agreement, SVTL sold to the Registrant the STVL 20% Chinese JV Interest in return for 100 million restricted common shares of the Registrant. As set forth in more detail in the Acquisition Agreement and prior SEC filings, the 100 million shares was less than 50% of the approximately 209 million shares provided as a dividend to shareholders of TPID US' former parent, Sure Trace Security Corporation, which resulted in TPID US' being a separate independent entity entitled to receive approximately 42.5% of the revenues of the Chinese JV Company. With its January 2007 acquisition of 40% of the Chinese JV Company and the acquisition of the SVTL 20% Chinese JV Interest, the Registrant now owns 60% of the total ownership interests of the Chinese JV Company, allowing the Registrant to, among other things, recognize 100% of the revenues of the Chinese JV Company in accordance with applicable consolidation, revenue recognition, accounting, and other principles, guidelines and standards.
Under the Acquisition Agreement, SVTL representative, Sergio da Luz, was appointed to the Registrant's Board of Directors, and SVTL agreed to, inter alia, standard non-competition and confidentiality provisions. See Article III of the attached Acquisition Agreement.

As CEO, Mr. Hendricks will report solely and directly to our Board of Directors. During his term of employment, Mr. Hendricks will earn a base salary of no less than $240,000 per year. In addition to base salary, Mr. Hendricks will be entitled to receive 500,000 restricted shares of the Registrant's common stock immediately upon completion of the Registrant's 100 to 1 reverse split. Mr. Hendricks will also have an opportunity to receive an additional 500,000 restricted shares of the Registrant's common stock at the end of the first year of his contract, based on his performance of certain performance criteria which the Company's Compensation Committee will determine after execution of the contract.
Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
As set forth in the Registrant's Form 8-K filed February 19, 2008, the official Chinese documents known as the "Red Hat" documents have been filed regarding the new joint venture between the Registrant and two organizations affiliated with the State General Administration for Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People's Republic of China ("AQSIQ") to roll out Registrant's Chinese National Gas Tank Contract and Project with AQSIQ.
Given these developments and the impending roll out of Registrant's Chinese National Gas Tank Contract and Project with AQSIQ, on March 4, 2008, the board of directors (the "Board") of the Registrant approved the appointment of the current chief operating officer of the Registrant, Wilson Hendricks III, a past Director, Asia Pacific Region, for KPMG Consulting's Communications and Content Practice, as the Registrant's new chief executive officer ("CEO"). The Board also approved the appointment of Mr. Hendricks as a member of the Registrant's Board.
Prior to joining the Registrant as its chief operating officer in November 2007, Mr. Hendricks was a Director with BearingPoint, Inc. (formerly KPMG Consulting), where he was a member of BearingPoint's Communications and Content practice.
Mr. Hendricks was a founding member of KPMG Consulting's wireless group. As a Director with KPMG Consulting's Asia Pacific Region, Mr. Hendricks was responsible for starting the KPMG Consulting's Asia Pacific Region's communications practice. Mr. Hendricks most recent BearingPoint assignment was as Operations Director for the Department of Homeland Security/Transportation Security Authorities TWIC Program. Mr. Hendricks has extensively resided and worked in China and Hong Kong.
Believing that the Company's interests in the roll-out of its Chinese National Gas Tank Contract with AQSIQ are best served by an international roll-out/implementation expert such as Hendricks now taking over the CEO position of the Registrant, the Registrant's current CEO and
