Item 5.  Other Events.

     On February 24, 1998,  the Company filed suit in the District Court for the
City and County of Denver, Colorado, against John M. Hanson & Company, P.C., its
former auditors, and two former directors,  H. James Nerlin and Norvell S. Rose.
The suit seeks monetary damages from the former  independent  accountants of the
Company  for breach of  contract,  breach of a  covenant  of good faith and fair
dealing and  professional  negligence in connection  with the preparation of the
Company's  financial  statements  for many years,  including  fiscal  years 1992
through 1996. The suit is also seeking  monetary  damages from former  directors
who are alleged to have breached their  fiduciary duty to the Company by failing
to act in the best interest of the Company,  by acting in bad faith,  by failing
to ensure that the independent auditors hired by the Company were competent,  by
failing to prevent the president of the Company from utilizing Company funds for
personal  purposes  and by  failing  to  assure  that  the  Company's  financial
statements  accurately  reflected the true nature of the Company's  transactions
with the former president.

<PAGE>

     Prior to filing the suit, the Company  retained an  independent  accounting
firm to review the Company's books and records and financial  statements for the
period from 1992 through June 30, 1997.  The  allegations  in the  complaint are
based largely on the findings of the independent  accounting firm as reported to
management of the Company.  These findings  conclude that throughout this period
the  amount  of cash  and the  value  and  collectibility  of  receivables  were
materially  overstated and that the amounts due from the former president of the
Company were materially  understated.  In addition,  it appears that many of the
business  activities  of the Company  during  this period were not arm's  length
transactions,  but were with  parties  related  to the former  president  of the
Company.

     As  a  result  of  the   absence   of  cash  from  the   Company   and  the
uncollectibility  of a  substantial  portion of the Company's  receivables,  the
Company has ceased active business operations. Management has been and is in the
process of collecting receivables and recovering as much of the Company's assets
as possible and has been settling accounts with the Company's creditors.  If the
Company is unable to recover any substantial amounts in the litigation described
above, it will be forced to seek protection under federal bankruptcy laws and to
liquidate.

     As a result of the past  irregularities in the Company's books and records,
the Company does not have the  financial  resources to cause  audited  financial
statements to be prepared at this time.

                                   SIGNATURES

     Pursuant to the  requirements  of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, the
registrant  has duly  caused  this  report  to be  signed  on its  behalf by the
undersigned hereunto duly authorized.

                                   FOXMOOR INDUSTRIES, LTD.
