ITEM 8.01    OTHER EVENTS.

       As previously disclosed, on April 16, 2007, Fire King International,  LLC
 ("Fire King") filed a lawsuit against Corporate Safe  Specialists,  Inc., Tidel
 Technologies,   Inc.  and  Tidel   Engineering,   L.P.   (together  with  Tidel
 Technologies, Inc., the "Company"). Fire King alleged that the Sentinel product
 previously sold by the Company  infringed on one or more patent claims found in
 a Fire King patent.  Effective September 14, 2007, the parties agreed to settle
 Fire King's claims against the Company, and the court has dismissed Fire King's
 claims against the Company, with prejudice.

       On October 3, 2006, the Company filed an amendment to its  certificate of
 incorporation  with the office of the  Secretary of State of Delaware to change
 its  name  from  "Tidel  Technologies,   Inc."  to  "Secure  Alliance  Holdings
 Corporation." In addition, the Company's subsidiary,  Tidel Engineering,  L.P.,
 changed its name to Secure Alliance, L.P.
