ITEM 2  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

       (a) Effective March 31, 1999, the Registrant acquired the assets of KG
Data, Inc. ("KGD"), a Connecticut corporation engaged in the data communications
business. The acquisition was valued at $845,000.

       In connection with this acquisition, which will be accounted for as a
purchase, the Registrant issued 719,149 of its restricted common shares, $.01
par value to the President and sole stockholder Kenneth A. Bloom ("Bloom") in
exchange for assets and the assumption of certain liabilities.

       In connection with the Acquisition, Bloom (i) was granted certain
registration requests with respect to the restricted shares issued to him, and
(ii) entered into a three-year employment agreement with the Registrant.

       The Registrant intends to operate KGD as a separate subsidiary in
Norwalk, Connecticut. Seven existing full-time employees of KGD are to be
retained at this facility, which will be managed by Bloom.

       Pursuant to the requirement of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
