Item 5.  OTHER EVENTS.

Effective October 8, 2003, a lawsuit was settled through mediation against the
registrant.  The mediation agreement included a declaration and resolution
by the previous directors that 16,359,172 shares of common stock were issued
without valid consideration and should be cancelled.


ITEM 6.  RESIGNATION OF DIRECTORS.

Effective with the lawsuit settlement and retroactive to June 10, 2003,
Robyn Straza and Brian Layton, the remaining directors of the registrant,
resigned as directors, and Robyn Straza resigned as Chairman, President,
and Chief Executive Officer of the registrant.

Also effective with the lawsuit settlement, David A. Nelson was elected and
agreed to serve as the director, President, and Secretary of the registrant,
retroactive to June 10, 2003.  The delay between the actual date and the
effective date was due to questions raised by previous counsel to the
registrant regarding certain terms and conditions of the mediation agreement.
