and Jan. 14 filings with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission.

five years ago by former American Home Shield President Dan Brinker, the

its strategy of integrating the used cartridge industry to compete with
printer supply and service giants like Hewlett Packard and Lexmark.

of TonerType in Florida in 2008 gave the company a cartridge
manufacturing operation.Traded on the Bulletin Board as ASVP, the
company reported on Nov. 22 that third-quarter revenue increased 10
percent to $8.51 million from a year ago, but the quarterly net loss
grew to $1.29 million from $1.03 million in the third quarter of 2009.

manufacturing operation in Florida.

owners filed a notice of default on Dec. 23 claiming $673,000 in
outstanding principal and accrued interest. Another default notice,
filed on Dec. 28 by Celtic Capital Corporation, demanded immediate
