ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
During the recent months, E.Com International, Inc. (the "Company") had
been working to secure a financing transaction which would permit it to
continue operations as currently conducted. In early October 1998, the
Company learned that a contemplated financing transaction would not be
available. The Company is currently exploring various alternative financing
strategies, including private and public financing, selling assets and bank
borrowings. If the Company cannot successfully complete such a financing,
the Company will not have sufficient liquid assets to continue operations as
currently conducted and will be forced to cease operations and/or file a
petition in bankruptcy.
