                        ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

In December 2000, we signed and ratified an acquisition agreement with
International Technologies and Minerals, Inc. (ITM).  In exchange for
6,000,000 shares of our common stock, we were to receive a corporate bond
having a face value of $5,000,000 and all issued and outstanding stock of ITM.
The corporate bond was to be capable of collateralizing a commercial business
loan in the amount of $2,500,000.  The common stock was placed in escrow
pending the collateralization of the loan.

Since signing the agreement, we have sought delivery of the collateralized
bond without any success.  Accordingly, on August 23, 2001, our board of
directors determined to rescind and terminate the agreement, and cancel the
escrowed stock.



                               SIGNATURES

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf
