Item  1.01  Entry  into  a  Material  Definitive  Agreement.


     On  August  10,  2004,  Nighthawk  Systems,  Inc.  entered into a series of
definitive  agreements with Dutchess Private Equities Fund, II, L.P., a Delaware
corporation.  The  agreements  include  a  Subscription Agreement, an Investment
Agreement  and  a  Registration  Rights  Agreement  pursuant  to which Nighthawk
Systems,  Inc.  issued  to Dutchess Private Equities Fund convertible debentures
and  a  warrant  to  purchase  the  company's  common  stock  in  the  future.

     Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, Dutchess Private Equities Fund will
provide  $250,000  to  Nighthawk in three tranches of $125,000 upon execution of
the agreement, $100,000 upon filing of a registration statement with the SEC and
$25,000  upon  the  effectiveness  of  the  registration  statement.  For  this
investment,  Dutchess  will  receive  $250,000  of convertible debentures with a
maturity  date of August 10, 2007. The debentures include interest at 8% and can
be  converted at a price determined by a formula of the lesser of (i) 75% of the
lowest closing bid price or (ii) twelve and a half cents ($0.125). The amount of
shares  converted  at  any  time  is  limited  so  as not to exceed 4.99% of the
outstanding shares of Nighthawk common stock.. In addition, Dutchess is issued a
warrant  to  purchase  up to 250,000 shares of common stock at a price of twelve
and  a  half  cents ($0.125) for a period of up to five years. This offering was
made  in  accordance  with  the  exemptions from registration provided for under
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act") and Rule
506  of  Regulation  D  promulgated  under  the  1933  Act.

     Under  the  Investment  Agreement, Dutchess can invest up to $10,000,000 to
purchase  common  stock  pursuant  to  put notices by Nighthawk.  This agreement
effectively  provides  an  equity line of credit to be drawn upon at Nighthawk's
discretion.

     Under  the  Registration Rights Agreement, Nighthawk agrees to register all
the  shares  that  could  be  issued pursuant to the Convertible Debentures, the
warrants  and  the Investment Agreement within ninety (90) days of the execution
of  the  agreements.
