ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS.

As previously reported on Registrant's Report on Form 8-K dated March 13, 2001,
Registrant secured a commitment for $15.4 million in funding from UBS Capital
Americas III, L.P. and UBS Capital LLC (collectively, the "Purchasers"), to be
used for working capital purposes. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement
dated as of March 13, 2001, by and among Registrant and the Purchasers, as
amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of May 7,
2001, the Purchasers purchased 3,994,127 shares of Registrant's Class I Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock and 424,135 shares of Registrant's Class II Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock on May 7, 2001. All of the shares were purchased at
$3.50 per share. The Class I Series B Convertible Preferred Stock has full
voting rights and is convertible into one share of the Registrant's common
stock. The Class II Series B Convertible Preferred Stock has the same rights as
the Class I Series B Convertible Preferred Stock except that it may not vote for
the Board of Directors and is not convertible into Common Stock. Rather, at the
election of Purchasers, each share of the Class II Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock is convertible after one year into one share of Class I
Convertible Preferred Stock.

The Board of Directors of the Registrant has been increased to eight directors
from seven directors. The Purchasers are entitled to select three directors.
Further, the Casty Grantor Subtrust ("Casty") is entitled to appoint one
director and International Technology Investments, LC ("ITI") is entitled to
appoint one director. ITI and Casty are entitled to jointly select an additional
director. Also, ITI, Casty and the Purchasers are jointly entitled to select two
additional directors who qualify as "independent directors" in accordance with
Nasdaq rules. Effective with the purchase of the Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock, Zalman Lekach resigned as a director of the Registrant and Charles
Delaney and Patrick Delhougne were appointed as directors.
