ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
As previously disclosed, the Company was notified by the Nasdaq Stock
Market ("Nasdaq") of Nasdaq's determination that the Company was not in
compliance with the net tangible assets requirement or the alternative $5.00
minimum closing bid price requirement for continued listing of its common stock
on the Nasdaq National Market. The Company attended a Nasdaq hearing to discuss
these compliance issues and, as a result, has been advised by Nasdaq that,
effective October 15, 1998, the Company's common stock will be traded on the
Nasdaq SmallCap Market under its current trading symbol, "ENBX".
