ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.

        On June 2, 1997, the Company issued to a limited number of investors for
cash an aggregate of $2,000,000 of unsecured 5% Convertible Term Debentures due
June 2, 1999 and Stock Purchase Warrants ("Securities") with a right to purchase
an aggregate 611,733 shares of common stock, par value $.00001 per share, at an
exercise price of $1.69125. The principal and interest amount of each Debenture
may, at the election of the holder, be converted in whole or in part and from
time to time into fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock, $.00001
par value, of the Company, at a price which is the lower of (i) $1.1646 per
share or (ii) depending on the number of days the Debentures have been held
after the funding date, from 75% to 91% of the average of the closing bid prices
for the common stock for the ten consecutive trading days ending on the trading
day immediately preceding such conversion date. If the Debentures have not been
converted into common shares of the Company by June 2, 1999, under certain
conditions the Debentures will automatically be converted into shares of the
common stock of the Company. Under certain conditions, at the election of the
Company and for a certain period of time, the Company may issue an additional
$1,000,000 of unsecured 5% Convertible Term Debentures due June 2, 1999 and
Stock Purchase Warrants with a right to purchase an additional 305,867 shares of
common stock.

        The Securities were issued pursuant to Regulation D of the Securities
and Exchange Commission. The holders of the Securities have registration rights
which require the Company to have an effective registration statement with
regard to the shares of Common Stock underlying the Securities within 120 days
of funding or the Company can be subject to penalties. In addition, the Company
would be subject to penalties if certain covenants are not maintained, including
the reservation of a sufficient number of shares for the conversion or exercise
of the Securities, the effecting of conversions in a timely manner, the failure
to maintain an effective registration statement, and the Company's stock is not
listed for trading on at least the OTC Bulletin Board.

        The Company expects that the net proceeds of the offering, $1,760,000
after offering costs, will be used for the purchase of software development
tools, chip development, silicon runs, radar and antenna development,
development of communications software, marketing and sales collateral and for
general corporate purposes.
