INFORMATION STATEMENT AND NOTICE OF ACTION WITHOUT A MEETING OF
STOCKHOLDERS

We are not asking for a proxy and
you are requested not to send us a proxy

INTRODUCTION

This Information Statement and Notice of Action Taken Without a Meeting of Stockholders is being furnished by us to our stockholders of record as of July 3, 2008, to inform them of the July 14 2008 approval by written consents of stockholders owning a majority, as of the record date, our outstanding shares of common stock, the only class of our voting securities outstanding as of the record date, of an amendment to our certificate of incorporation to change our name to Enable Holdings, Inc.

This information statement is dated as of July 14, 2008, and is first being sent or given to our stockholders as of the record date on or about July 14, 2008.

VOTING RIGHTS AND OUTSTANDING SHARES

The amendment to our certificate of incorporation was approved by written consent on July 14, 2008, by our stockholders owning a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock. As of the date of the stockholder consent, our only outstanding voting securities were our shares of common stock. As of the date of the stockholder consent, each share of our common stock entitled its holder to one vote. The stockholders consent was signed by holders of 10,604,497 shares or 55.9% of the 18,197,783 shares that were entitled to be voted on this matter.

As a result of requirements under applicable federal securities and state law, the stockholder consent will not be effective, and therefore the amendment to our certificate of incorporation cannot occur, until at least 20 calendar days after this information statement is sent or given to our stockholders of record as of the record date.

AMENDMENT TO CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
 
Our Board of Directors and stockholders owning a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock have approved an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to change our name to Enable Holdings, Inc.

Text of Amendment

The amendment would result in striking out Article 1 of our current Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and substituting in lieu of said Article, the following new Article:

“1. Name. The name of the corporation is Enable Holdings, Inc.”

Reason for Approval

Our Board of Directors and stockholders owning a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock have deemed it advisable and in our best interests to change our corporate name to Enable Holdings, Inc. The new name is consistent with our company’s changing business strategy to focus solely on liquidating excess inventories for top-brand manufacturers.

The amendment will become effective upon the filing, promptly after the expiration of the 20-day period commencing on the mailing of this information statement, of the certificate of amendment required by the Delaware General Corporation Law.

REASONS WE USED STOCKHOLDER CONSENT AS OPPOSED TO SOLICITATIONS OF STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL VIA PROXY STATEMENT AND SPECIAL MEETING
 
The change in our corporate name requires an amendment to our certificate of incorporation, which cannot proceed until stockholder approval is obtained and effective. Stockholder approval could have been obtained by us in one of two ways: (i) by the dissemination of a proxy statement and subsequent majority vote in favor or the action at a stockholders meeting called for such purpose, or (ii) by a written consent of the holders of a majority of our voting securities. However, the latter method, while it represents the requisite stockholder approval, is not deemed effective until 20 days after this information statement has been sent to all of our stockholders giving them notice of and informing them of the actions approved by such consent.

Given that we have already secured the affirmative consent of the holders of a majority of our voting securities to the amendment to our certificate of incorporation, we determined that it would be a more efficient use of corporate resources to forego the dissemination of a proxy statement and subsequent majority vote in favor of the action at a stockholders’ meeting called for such a purpose, and rather proceed through the written consent of the holders of a majority of our voting securities. Spending the additional company time, money and other resources required by the proxy and meeting approach would have been potentially wasteful and, consequently, detrimental to completing the amendment in a manner that is timely and efficient for us and our stockholders.

INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON
 
None of our directors or officers or their associates have any interest, direct or indirect, by security holdings or otherwise, in any of the matters to be approved by the stockholders as described in this information statement.

WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION
 
We file annual, quarterly and special reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC. You may read and copy any reports, statements or other information we file at the SEC’s public reference room in Washington, D.C. Please call the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330 for further information on the public reference rooms. Our filings with the SEC are also available to the public from commercial document retrieval services and at the website maintained by the SEC at http://www.sec.gov.
