ITEM 5.   Other Events and Required FD Disclosure.
          ________________________________________

     On March 4, 2004, the Registrant filed a Certificate of Amendment to its
Articles of Incorporation that will cause the number of its authorized shares
of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, to be decreased from 950,000,000
to 9,500,000 and cause the number of its issued and outstanding shares to be
decreased from 503,145,175 to approximately 5,032,000, with no change in par
value.  All share fractions will be rounded up to the next whole share so that
no stockholder will be cashed out, issued a fractional share or scrip or be
entitled to dissent and seek the fair value of his, her or its shares under
the General Corporation Law of Nevada.

     On March 5, 2004, the Registrant issued a press release announcing this
reverse stock split, which will have a record date as of the close of the
markets on April 2, 2004, and be effective as of 12:01 a.m. on  April 5, 2004.
On and after the effective date, all share certificates will represent the
lesser number of shares pursuant to the terms of the reverse stock split.
After the effective date, stockholders will be required to exchange their old,
pre-split certificates for new, post-split certificates.

     On April 5, 2004, the Registrant's post-split shares will be identified
by new CUSIP No. 89336R 20 7.
