ITEM 5.  OTHER MATTERS

Following the formation of our alliance with IBM which we announced
on June 28, 2001, we have decided to focus a significant portion of
our sales efforts on the IBM alliance, on value added resellers
participating in the Sideware Partner Program, and in the development
of a relationship with Sun Microsystems and other potential partners.
As part of these efforts, effective July 31, 2001, Jonathan Spector
has been promoted to Vice President of Business Development for the
United States.  In this capacity, Mr. Spector will handle the duties
in the U.S. and Canada that were previously managed by Scott
Friedlander, our Executive Vice-President and General Manager
of U.S. operations who resigned effective July 31, 2001.

Mr. Spector spent twelve years with American Management Systems, Inc.,
most recently as the Chief eBusiness Officer for the Industrial
Consulting and Systems Group.  His responsibilities included leading
the eBusiness practice in providing solutions in eProcurement,
enterprise portals, mobile computing, knowledge management and
logistics, and executing eBusiness strategic assessments.

Commensurate with our focus on partners, we have streamlined our
sales and marketing force to approximately 12 employees in
addition to approximately 10 commission-based independent
contractors/consultants.
