Item 5.   Other Events

     On February  17, 1998 the Company  received a letter from NASDAQ  informing
the  Company  that it did not comply  with  recently  amended  NASDAQ  continued
listing  criteria which required the Company to have minimum net tangible assets
of at least  $2,000,000,  two independent  directors and an audit  committee,  a
majority of which are  independent  directors.  The  Company  was granted  until
February 23, 1998 to comply with such requirements.

     On February 12, 1998, the Board of Directors of AC Automotive  Group,  Inc.
authorized  the  issuance  of  6,130,000  shares of its  common  stock to Erwood
Holdings,  Inc., a company affiliated with Alan Lubinsky,  the President,  Chief
Executive Officer and a Director of the Company and AC Automotive  Group,  Inc.,
for aggregate consideration of $6,130. The disclosure in the COmpany's report on
Form 10-KSB for the year ended  November 30, 1997  contained an error wherein it
indicated  Erwood  Holdoings,  Inc.  acquired  6,633,000  of  common  stock  for
aggregate  considferation  of $6,633.  In addition,  on such date AC  Automotive
Group, Inc. authorized the issuance of 176,520, 176,520 and 88,260 shares of its
common stock to Beth- Anne Kinsley,  Victor and Marion  Durchhalter  and Bridget
Staff,  respectively,  for  consideration  of $177, $177 and $89,  respectively.
Beth-Anne  Kinsley,  Victor and Marion  Durchhalter  and Bridget  Staff were all
prior  shareholders of AC Automotive Group, Inc. and are all associated  persons
of Mason Hill & Co., Inc., the  broker/dealer  which effected the initial public
offering of the Company's  securities and the subsequent private offering of the
Company's  securities,  the  proceeds  from which (the  private  offering)  were
utilized by the Company to complete the AC asset acquisition.

     The  foregoing  issuance of shares  reduced the  ownership of AC Automotive
Group,  Inc.  by  the  Company  to  under  50%.  Accordingly,  future  financial
statements of the Company will be issued on an unconsolidated basis. Footnote 18
to the Company's  Financial  Statements  has been prepared to show the effect of
the share issuance described herein. 

     On February  25, 1998 Ivan  Averbuch  resigned as a Director of the Company
and on the same date the board of  directors  elected Ian  Satill,  to fill such
vacancy.

     On February  25,  1998,  the Board of  Directors  resolved to form an audit
committee  in  order  to  comply  with  current  Nasdaq   corporate   governance
requirements.  The Audit  Committee is  comprised of the three  directors of the
Company,  two of whom (Ian Satill and Allan  Edgar) are believed by the Board of
Directors to be independent.

     Although  the  Company is of the belief that it is now in  compliance  with
Nasdaq  requirements  for a continued  listing of its  securities  on the Nasdaq
SmallCap  system,  there can be no assurance  that it is correct in such belief.
The  Company  expects to receive a ruling  from  Nasdaq  shortly on its  listing
compliance.
