Item 5.    Other Events:

           On August 11, 1999, AFP Imaging Corporation ("Company") successfully
           reduced and restructured both of its Subordinated Promissory Notes,
           which were issued in 1997, as part of the financing of two
           independent acquisitions. The restructuring was accomplished by means
           of negotiation or mediation between the Company and each of the
           parties. No additional equity, warrants or options were issued in
           conjunction with the reduction and restructuring of these
           Subordinated Promissory Notes.

           In December 1997, the Company acquired all of the assets and defined
           liabilities of ProDen Medical Systems ("ProDen"), a Vancouver, WA
           manufacturer of intraoral (dental) video cameras and related
           products, from its sole shareholder. The purchase price was $3.5
           million of which $1.1 million was paid, and the Company issued a
           Subordinated Promissory Note ("December Note") for $2.4 million to be
           paid in five, semi-annual payments beginning January 1, 1999. The
           Company did not make the required $500,000 payments due January 1,
           1999 and July 1, 1999, and invoked the provision for negotiation and
           mediation, as reported in the Company's Current Report Form 8K filing
           of April 14, 1999. On August 11, 1999, the Company and the sole
           shareholder of ProDen agreed to an immediate reduction and
           restructuring of the December Note. The Company will not be obligated
           to pay the two $500,000 installments which were past due and in
           dispute. The Company agreed and paid $150,000 to the sole shareholder
           of ProDen and the December Note was reduced to $850,000 in total, to
           be paid over a six year period. Interest only will be paid quarterly,
           for the first three years, effective January 1, 2000, followed by
           thirty-six equal monthly payments of $23,611.11 plus interest, paid
           quarterly, on the unpaid balance. Interest was fixed at 7.75% per
           annum for the six year period. There are no other contingent payments
           or further amendments to the Purchase and Sale Agreement.

           In April 1997, the Company acquired all of the shares of a Swedish
           manufacturer of digital, dental imaging systems from ACG
           Nystromgrupen AB ("Nystrom"). The initial purchase price was $2.9
           million which consisted of cash, notes payable and a royalty. The
           Company issued to Nystrom a Subordinated Promissory Note ("April
           Note") for $1.0 million due April 17, 2000, with interest at LIBOR
           plus 2%. At August 10, 1999 this rate was 7.226%. On August 11, 1999,
           the Company and Nystrom agreed to an immediate reduction and
           restructuring of the April Note. The Company paid $100,000 to Nystrom
           plus accrued interest from April 17, 1999 to August 10, 1999, and the
           principal amount of the amended April Note was reduced to $800,000 in
           total, to be paid over a six year period. Interest only will be paid
           quarterly for the first three years, followed by thirty-six equal
           monthly payments of $22,222.22 plus interest, paid quarterly, on the
           unpaid balance. Interest will remain at LIBOR + 2% for the six year
           period. A royalty payment, contingent on sales, as per the original
           Stock Purchase Agreement is due Nystrom on April 17, 2000 but has
           been capped at a maximum of $30,000. There are no other contingent
           payments or further amendments to the Stock Purchase Agreement.

           The reduction in the carrying value of the December Note will be
           recorded in the quarter ended June 30, 1999, as this settlement
           represents the resolution of a contingency arising during fiscal
           1999. While this transaction will result in a gain, the total amount
           of this gain will be almost, if not entirely, offset by impairment
           charges associated with the residual long-lived assets of ProDen.

           The reduction in the carrying value of the April Note will be
           recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2000.

           There are no other unresolved issues with Nystrom or ProDen.
