Item 6.  Resignation of Registrant's Director

Effective August 3, 1999, the Registrant accepted the resignation of Avi Suriel,
a member of the Registrant's Board of Directors. In his letter of resignation, a
copy of which is filed as an exhibit to this report, Mr. Suriel indicated that
his reason for resigning was the Registrant's alleged failure to set a date for
its annual shareholder meeting by August 3, 1999. On August 3, 1999, the
Registrant publicly announced that it has set a record date of August 19, 1999
in preparation for the annual shareholder meeting currently scheduled for
October 19, 1999, subject to change dependent upon the potential review of the
Registrant's preliminary proxy materials by the SEC.

Exhibit:

17.1  Copy of letter from Avi Suriel tendering his resignation from the
      Registrant's Board of Directors effective August 3, 1999.
