Item
8.01 Other Events
During
July 2007, General Environmental Management, Inc. (“GEM”) hired four senior
industry executives who were formerly employed by Romic Environmental
Technologies, Inc (“RET”). These executives have combined experience
of more than 75 years in the Company’s industry. The executives will
assist the Company in executing our expansion plans.
A
lawsuit
was instituted by RET against the Company and the four former RET senior
executives. In the lawsuit, RET alleges that the Company and the four
executives are liable to RET for, among other things, (1) Violation of
Non-Disclosure Agreements and Termination Protection Agreements, (2)
Intentional
Interference with contracts, and (3) Misappropriation of Trade Secrets
and
Unfair Competition. RET alleges damages of Fifteen Million Dollars, requests
certain injunctive relief, punitive damages, and other remedies. The
Company
believes that the lawsuit has no merit, and intends to vigorously defend
the
action.

to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant
