ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.
On July 21, 1999, the Company's operating subsidiary, Patient's
Choice, Inc. ("Patient's Choice"), was placed under the supervision of the
Louisiana Department of Insurance ("DOI") due to the deteriorating financial
condition of Patient's Choice. The Company has presently exhausted its efforts
to secure additional capital to fund the operations of Patient's Choice, and it
anticipates that the operations of Patient's Choice may be assumed by the DOI in
a rehabilitation or receivership proceeding. In any such event, it is unlikely
that the Company will realize any material recovery of its investment in
Patient's Choice. The Company has no material assets other than its investment
in Patient's Choice, and absent new capital and a new business plan, which are
not anticipated at this time, the Company will have no alternative but to cease
operations. Under the circumstances, it would appear unlikely that the
shareholders of the Company would recover any material portion of their
investments in the Company.
