ITEM 5.     OTHER EVENTS

On February 7, 1997, the Company filed an 8-K with the SEC summarizing two
equity transactions: The sale of Common Stock for $1,590,000 and the conversion
of $750,000 in long-term debt to Series A Preferred Stock.

On February 11, 1997, the Company completed an additional conversion of $425,000
in long-term debt in a similar transaction whereby long-term debt was converted
to Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock is nonvoting, except
in instances where changes and/or issuances of Preferred Stock are being
considered as well as the sale of the Company or other actions which might
impact the rights of the Series A Preferred Shareholders. In such instances, a
minimum 51% of the Series A Preferred Stock must vote in favor of the proposals.
The Series A Preferred Stock carries annual dividends of $.65 per share, payable
monthly. The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible to Common Stock at a price
of $2.28 per share, or one share of Series A Preferred Stock for 2.19 shares of
Common Stock. As part of this transaction, the loan agreement on the remaining
debt will be amended to include a financial covenant whereby if, at quarter end,
shareholders' equity is below $1,000,000 or the Company fails to meet certain
maintenance requirements, then additional warrants to purchase 15% of the Common
Stock outstanding at February 11, 1997, at an exercise price of $.01 per share
will be issued.

Included at Item 7 below is a proforma balance sheet as of December 31, 1996, as
filed in the February 7, 1997 8-K, as well as a proforma balance sheet for
January 31, 1997, assuming all these transactions had been completed on or
before January 31, 1997.

ITEM 7.     FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS

On February 7, 1997, the Company filed a Form 8-K outlining the impact of
these first two transactions on a proforma balance sheet as of December 31,
1996, which is shown below.
