Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

On August 19, 2005, E-centives, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $500,000 to Venturetec, Inc. (“Venturetec”). The terms of the note include, among other things:

•

a 10% interest rate;

•

a maturity date of October 31, 2005;

•

a conversion feature, whereby the principal amount of and accrued interest on the note is convertible at the option of the holder at any time into shares of Series C preferred stock at a conversion price of $4 per share;

•

a redemption feature, whereby the note may be redeemed by the Company at any time by payment of the principal amount of and accrued interest on the note to the holder; and

•

a security interest in substantially all of our assets.

The note began to accrue interest as of June 25, 2005, the date on which Venturetec delivered the $500,000 purchase price for the note to the Company. The note is subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future bank indebtedness of the Company, including lease and equipment finance obligations, as well as all other indebtedness designated as senior indebtedness.

Peter Friedli, our director and largest stockholder, serves as the President of Venturetec and as such may be deemed to beneficially own such shares. The terms of the Series C Preferred Stock in which the note is convertible are identical to the terms of the shares issued on March 31, 2005, April 19, 2005 and June 24, 2005 which were part of the Series C preferred stock financing commenced on March 31, 2005, which is described in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 6, 2005. The $4 conversion price of the note is also the same as the purchase price of the shares of Series C preferred in such financing. The terms of the Series C Preferred Stock is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

The issuance of the convertible note was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance upon the exemption set forth in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act relating to transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering.
