Item 5.  Other Events.

         On August 9, 1996, Zanart Entertainment Incorporated ("Zanart")
entered into an  Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Agreement") with 
Continucare Corporation ("Continucare").  Pursuant to the Agreement, Zanart
Subsidiary, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Zanart, will merge with and into
Continucare (the "Merger") and each issued and outstanding share of Continucare
common stock (which, as a condition to closing, will not exceed 8,300,000
shares) will be converted into the right to receive one share of Zanart common
stock.  Thereafter, the present shareholders of Continucare will own a majority
of the issued and outstanding common stock of Zanart and will, therefore, be
able to control the election of the Board of Directors of Zanart.  The present
shareholders of Zanart are not be entitled vote on the Merger.

         The consummation of the Merger is subject to various conditions as set
forth in the Agreement, including the provision of ten (10) days prior written
notice to present Zanart shareholders pursuant to Rule 14f-1 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934.

         Immediately upon the effectiveness of the Merger, the Board of
Directors of each of Zanart and Continucare will be required to take all
necessary action so that the respective Boards of Directors of Zanart and
Continucare will consist of seven (7) directors to be appointed by Continucare.
