Item 5. Other Events.

   EncrypTix, Inc., a majority-owned subsidiary of Stamps.com, Inc., announced

company has ceased its operations. The privately-held EncrypTix has received all
necessary shareholder approvals and has effected an assignment of its assets for
the benefit of creditors. EncrypTix has taken this action due to the inability
to secure additional funding.

   The press release by EncrypTix announcing the cessation of its operations is
attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this current report.
