ITEM 5.     OTHER EVENTS.

         On March 13, 2001, the Company issued a press release announcing that
it had received a Nasdaq Staff Determination letter from Nasdaq on March 6,
2001, notifying it that it was not in compliance with Nasdaq's continuing
listing requirements as set forth in Marketplace Rule 4310. Since that time,
representatives of our Company and our legal counsel have appeared before a
Nasdaq Listing Qualification Panel for a hearing to review the Staff
Determination.

         On June 5, 2001, the Company received the Panel's decision granting the
Company's request for continued listing, having found the Company to now be in
compliance with Marketplace Rule 4310. There can be no assurance, however, that
the Company will be able to continue to meet the requirements for continued
listing or that the Nasdaq Staff will not again find the Company to be out of
compliance with Marketplace Rule 4310. In such an event, the Company may again
face delisting from the Nasdaq SmallCap Market.
