Item 6.  Other Events.

On May 22, 2001, C-Phone Corporation announced that it that it had filed with
the SEC a Certificate and Notice of Termination of Registration on Form 15 to
terminate the registration of its common stock under Section 12(g) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and to suspend its reporting requirements under
Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Act. As previously announced, both in a press
release issued in January of this year, as well as in C-Phone's Quarterly Report
on Form 10-QSB for the fiscal quarter ended November 30, 2000, C-Phone was
considering the decertification of its common stock "in the near future." As a
result of such action, C-Phone's common stock will no longer meet the trading
requirements of the OTC Bulletin Board. It is anticipated that quotations for
the common stock will be listed in the "pink sheets."

At the same time, C-Phone advised that (i) a proxy statement to seek shareholder
approval for its previously announced Motion Media transaction was being
prepared and that a Special Meeting of C-Phone's shareholders will be scheduled
after the proxy statement is filed with the SEC and the SEC advises that it has
completed its comment process, and (ii) Seymour Gartenberg and E. Henry Mize
have resigned as directors and the size of the C-Phone Board of Directors has
been decreased to five.
