ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS.

         The Registrant recently acquired the high-end web hosting and dedicated
access service assets of Novo Media Group, Inc., a California corporation
headquartered in San Francisco, California. The Registrant agreed to pay
approximately $1,455,000, payable in the form of 174,001 shares of common stock.
The consideration that the Registrant agreed to pay was determined through arm's
length negotiation. There was no material relationship between the Registrant
and Novo Media Group, Inc. prior to the acquisition. The Registrant intends to
use the assets acquired in the same manner that Novo Media Group, Inc. utilized
the assets.
