Item 5. Other Events.

The  Company  announces  the  following  new  customers  and  partners  for  its
RetrievalWare(TM)  searching  and  profiling  software  tools,  and its EFS (TM)
turnkey document image management solution in commercial, Federal government and
international markets.

TELE-TV Systems,  L.P., a media and technology company created by Bell Atlantic,
     NYNEX and Pacific Telesis, has licensed RetrievalWare to develop a suite of
     comprehensive World Wide Web directory services and other  applications.  A
     joint  development  agreement  between the Company and Tele-TV  Systems was
     also executed to develop advanced intelligent agent technology.

The  Los  Angeles  Times  has  licensed   Excalibur's   RetrievalWare   Software
     Developer's  Kit (SDK) and  RetrievalWare  Web Server to drive searching of
     classified advertising on its World Wide Web site.

BTG  Incorporated  and  Excalibur  have  entered  into  a  product  distribution
     agreement,  designating  BTG the  master  distributor  of  Excalibur's  EFS
     document management solution to the Federal government.

PRC  has  established  a  business  unit  to  support   value-added  resale  and
     integration opportunities for RetrievalWare.  The business unit delivered a
     large-scale RetrievalWare solution to the Commander in Chief Atlantic Fleet
     (CINCLANTFLT) of the United States Navy. The $300,000  CINCLANTFLT contract
     award to Excalibur  represents the initial phases of a potential fleet-wide
     system.

UMI, a Bell & Howell company, has licensed RetrievalWare for its ProQuest Direct
