Item 1.01.  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 31, 2006, Andover Medical, Inc. (the “registrant”), formerly known as Snow & Sail Sports, Inc. entered into a reorganization agreement (the “Reorganization Agreement”) pursuant to which the registrant spun off its existing business, replaced its management and changed its corporate name and business (the “Transaction”). The following steps were taken in connection with the Transaction:

·  
the registrant effected a 28.5-for-1 forward stock split whereby 460,000 pre-forward split registered shares held by approximately 42 non-affiliates (the “Non-Affiliates”) of the registrant were converted into 13,110,000 post-forward split registered shares (the “Post-Forward Split Registered Shares”);

·  
all of the registrant’s issued and outstanding shares of registered and restricted common stock (other than the Post-Forward Split Registered Shares) were cancelled;

·  
in exchange for $10 and other valuable consideration, pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement the registrant issued an aggregate of 10,000,000 restricted shares of its common stock in connection with the Transaction to the following individuals: Joy Terrace Capital (3,000,000), LAM 2005 Trust (1,000,000), ORM 2005 Trust (1,000,000), Bruce Meyers (1,500,000), Meyers Associates, LP (1,500,000), Imtiaz Khan and his assignees (1,900,000) and Gary Wolff (100,000). As part of the Reorganization Agreement, the principals of Andover Medical, Inc. transferred all right, title and interest to the new business (see Item 2.01 below) of Andover, including, but not limited to, letters of intent for acquisitions, an office lease, office furniture and cash.

·  
Paul F. Tetreault and John P. Greeley, representing all of the former officers and directors of the registrant prior to the Transaction, resigned and were replaced by Edwin A. Reilly and Robert G. Coffill, Jr.; Mr. Reilly was appointed the President, Chief Operating Officer, acting Chief Financial Officer, and Secretary of the registrant, and Mr. Coffill was elected to serve as its sole director;

·  
the registrant’s former business (including all of its assets and liabilities), involved providing one-day ski trips within the New England area was spun off prior to the Transaction, the registrant is now engaged in the business of providing orthopedic, podiatric and urological supplies and services to physicians and other healthcare providers;

·  
the registrant issued an aggregate of 2,500,000 incentive stock options to purchase an equivalent number of shares of its restricted common stock to the registrant’s sole officer and director: Edwin A. Reilly (1,250,000) and Robert G. Coffill, Jr. (1,250,000); and

·  
the registrant changed its name from Snow & Sail Sports, Inc. to Andover Medical, Inc.


 
Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

The disclosure regarding the acquisition and disposition of the registrant’s assets in Item 1.01 above, is incorporated herein by reference.

The registrant has effected a complete change of business operations as a result of the Transaction. The Board of Directors of the registrant has adopted a business plan pursuant to which the registrant intends to engage in the business of providing orthopedic, podiatric and urological supplies and services to physicians and other healthcare providers.

Description of the Business
 
Andover Medical, Inc. (referred to herein as (the “Registrant”) the “Company” or “AMI”) intends to be a provider of orthopedic and podiatric durable medical equipment, as well as urological devices and disposables. AMI’s products generally are prescribed by physicians and are eligible for third-party reimbursement.
 
The Company’s business plan is focused primarily in the “stock-and-bill” sector of the medical services industry. Under typical stock-and-bill programs:
 
(i) the physician’s office is stocked with medical products at the vendor’s expense;
 
(ii) the vendor’s employees handle many of the aspects of maintaining products in the physician’s clinic; and
 
(iii) the vendor bills third party payers under its tax id number.
 
There are a variety of reasons why some physicians find referring patients to orthopedic and prosthetic (“O&P”) facilities to be a less attractive alternative than stock-and-bill programs:
 
(a) the physician’s office is forced to seek an in-network provider;
 
(b) the patient is inconvenienced with an extra trip to another medical office;
 
(c) incorrect products may be dispensed at the O&P facilities;
 
(d) patients may be subject to aggressive financial policies at O&P facilities; and
 
(e) O&P facilities may not be open during clinic hours.
 
Orthopedics, urology and podiatry are among the fastest growing segments in healthcare products and services. The “graying” of the population and the increase in the active physical lifestyle of seniors, among other factors, play key roles in this growth. AMI believes the distribution channel for these healthcare segments is currently fragmented and inefficient. Being a local independent distributor is difficult for a number of important reasons including the following:
 

 
(a) small independent operations have a very difficult time trying to gain access to innovative (high margin) product for distribution;
 
(b) negotiation for product to reduce the cost of goods sold is very limited; therefore, margin enhancement is difficult;
 
(c) back office expenses are spread over a very limited revenue base; and
 
(d) little opportunity for a viable exit strategy.
 
AMI, however, intends to establish a unified national distribution channel by acquiring and consolidating healthcare companies in the fragmented distribution channel for orthopedic, podiatric and urology supplies and services. The Company is currently in the process of seeking to acquire its first three entities that provide such supplies and services. This would allow the Company to immediately have a foot print in three of the fastest growing areas of healthcare, orthopedics, podiatrics and urology. AMI’s management believes that these actions will enable the Company to compete more effectively by taking advantage of certain economies of scale and providing the opportunity for certain operational efficiencies. For example:
 
(a) size and scale will help reduce the cost of goods sold through volume domestic purchasing;
 
(b) once a unified national distribution channel is established, the Company will have greater opportunities to distribute innovative products through this newly created channel; and
 
(c) the ability to centralize back office administrative functions will allow for better management and other operational efficiencies to occur.
 
AMI intends to offer extensive product offerings, including postoperative pain management products, orthopedic devices, a full range of soft goods and functional knee braces, uro-dynamic devices and disposables. The Company’s products and services will offer solutions to create overall practice management efficiencies for health care providers.
 
The Company’s sole employee is Edwin Reilly, its President. The Company is in the process of hiring, marketing, financial and operations personnel.
