Item 5. Other Events
On September 26, 2000, we were informed by the American Stock Exchange
("Amex") that it has determined to delist our common stock, Series A preferred
stock and warrants of the Company as it does not meet the Amex's criteria for
continued listing. These criteria include minimum levels of shareholders equity
and the absence of years of net losses from continuing operations. The Company
has exercised its right to appeal the Amex's decision and has requested a formal
hearing in order to further consider the decision. If the Company is
unsuccessful in its appeal to maintain the listing of the Company's common
stock, Series A preferred stock and warrants on the Amex, we believe that the
Company's common stock, Series A preferred stock and warrants will trade on the
Over the Counter Bulletin Board.
