SCHEDULE 13D -------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------- CUSIP No. 137694 Page _7_ _ of _ _10 _ Pages -------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------- ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION. On May 27, 2003, Arizona Diversified Equity acquired 1,934,486 shares (the "Purchased Shares") of Common Stock of the Issuer, or all of the outstanding stock ownership interest in the Issuer, of Dean G. Cannon and Rose Marie Cannon (the "Cannons"), the former principal shareholders and members of the board of directors of the Issuer, pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Stock Purchase Agreement") by and between Arizona Diversified Equity and the Cannons, dated as of May 21, 2003. Arizona Diversified Equity paid the Cannons the sum of $100,000 in cash to acquire the Purchased Shares. The Purchased Shares constitute, and at the closing of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Arizona Diversified Equity became the beneficial owner of, approximately 60.35% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Issuer. As a result of the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement, Arizona Diversified Equity became the principal controlling shareholder of the Issuer. All of the Purchased Shares which may deemed to be beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons were paid for using funds from the members of Arizona Diversified Equity. In connection with the closing of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the entire board of directors and the chief executive officer and president of the Issuer resigned from their respective positions with the Issuer. The new board of directors of the Issuer consists of John W. Pacheco, Gary F. Pryor, John M. Schottenstein and Michael Miola. Mr. Pacheco is one of the named Reporting Persons and may be deemed to be an affiliate of Arizona Diversified Equity. Messrs. Pryor, Schottenstein and Miola are not affiliated with any of the Reporting Persons. Mr. Pacheco will also serve as the interim Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer. The Issuer has not yet entered into any compensation arrangements with Mr. Pacheco, in his capacity as interim Chief Executive Officer. Further, in connection with the closing of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Issuer entered into a Settlement and Termination Agreement (the "Termination Agreement") with CFOex, Inc. ("CFOex"), pursuant to which the Issuer terminated its existing management agreement with CFOex and canceled the outstanding options previously granted to CFOex to purchase up to 1,500,000 shares of the Issuer's common stock. In connection with the Termination Agreement and the cancellation of the stock options, the Issuer paid $100,000 to CFOex and has agreed to pay an additional $300,000 to CFOex within one year from the closing. The $300,000 payment may be accelerated in the event the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries enters into certain merger or acquisition transactions or raises at least $3,000,000 in a traditional equity private placement before the end of the one-year period. Further, the Issuer, the Cannons, Arizona Diversified Equity and Mr. Pacheco each entered into mutual releases with CFOex and the principals of CFOex, including Bruce W. Jones, Calvin R. Turner, Jr. and James T. Schnoes. Messrs. Jones and Turner also resigned as executive officers and employees of the Issuer. Mr. Schnoes has been appointed to serve as the President of the Issuer. None of CFOex or Messrs. Jones, Turner and Schnoes is affiliated with any of the Reporting Persons. ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION. The purpose of the transaction was to acquire economic and voting control of the Issuer. As a result of the transaction, the Reporting Persons acquired approximately 60.35% of the Issuer's issued and outstanding Common Stock. Depending on various factors including, without limitation, the Issuer's business, financial position and prospects, the price levels of the shares of Common Stock, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons may in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate including, without limitation, (i) purchasing up to all of the outstanding Common Stock in the open market or otherwise, (ii) making an offer to purchase up all of the Issuer's outstanding shares of Common Stock, through a negotiated transaction or otherwise, (iii) causing the Common Stock to be deregistered through a squeeze out merger transaction or otherwise, or (iv) presenting proposals for consideration at annual or special meetings of the Issuer's stockholders. The Reporting Persons may also sell some or all of their shares of Common Stock through registered public offerings, or in market or privately negotiated transactions, and may change their intentions with respect to any and all of the matters referred to in this Item 4. Except as set forth in the preceding paragraphs, as of the date hereof, the Reporting Persons do not have any plan or proposal that relates to or would result in: (a) The acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer, or the disposition of securities of the Issuer; SCHEDULE 13D -------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------- CUSIP No. 137694 Page _8_ _ of _ _10 _ Pages -------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------- (b) An extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (c) A sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (d) Any change in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board; (e) Any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (f) Any other material change in the Issuer's business or corporate structure; (g) Changes in the Issuer's charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions, which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; (h) Causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; (i) A class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act; or (j) Any action similar to any of those enumerated above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Reporting Persons reserve the right to effect any such actions as any of them may deem necessary or appropriate in the future. The information set forth in Item 3 of this Schedule 13 13D is hereby incorporated herein by reference. ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
