Item 5.   Other Events.
          ------------

        In a private placement, the Company raised approximately $11 million
through the sale of 110,000 shares of its Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
("Series B Preferred Stock") to Sylvan Ventures, LLC and Fleming US Discovery
Fund III. The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into the Company's Common
Stock at $3.50 per share, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. The
holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, as a separate class, are entitled to
elect one person to the Company's Board of Directors. The Company expects to use
the net proceeds of the investment to fund working capital needs. The terms of
the Series B Preferred Stock are more fully described in the Articles
Supplementary filed as Exhibit 3.1 hereto.

        In connection with the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock, all of
the holders of the Company's Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series
A-1 Preferred Stock") exchanged their shares for a like number of shares of the
Company's Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series A-2 Preferred
Stock"). The terms of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock are substantially the same
as those of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, except that the Conversion Price has
been reduced to $3.50. The terms of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock are more
fully described in the Articles Supplementary filed as Exhibit 3.2 hereto.
