ITEM  5.     OTHER  EVENTS

     On  October 5, 1999, SafeGuard Health Enterprises, Inc. ("SafeGuard" or the
"Company")  executed  a  second  amendment  to  the  definitive  agreement  (the
"Agreement")  with an investor group led by CAI Partners and Company and Jack R.
Anderson  ("Investors")  to  invest  $40  million into SafeGuard.  A copy of the
Agreement  was  filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company's Report on Form 8-K, filed
with  the  U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on or about June 30,
1999.  The  first  amendment  to the Agreement was filed as Exhibit 10.24 to the
Company's  Quarterly  Report  on  Form  10-Q for the period ended June 30, 1999,
which  was filed with the SEC on or about August 13, 1999.  The second amendment
to the Agreement includes that the Company and the investors have agreed that no
shares  of  preferred  stock  will  be  issued  and  sold  in  the  transaction
contemplated  by  the  original definitive agreement.  The second amendment also
provides  that  as  a  result  of  the Company's delisting from the NASDAQ stock
market,  that  the  investors  have agreed that such event is not to be deemed a
material  adverse effect on the Company, nor shall it constitute a breach of any
representations, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Company contained in the
Agreement,  and  that  such  event  does not constitute a failure to satisfy any
condition precedent to the obligations of the Company or the investors under the
Agreement,  among  other  items.

     Notice  of  the  Company's  NASDAQ  delisting  was  filed with the SEC as a
Current  Report  on  form  8-K dated on or about September 16, 1999.  The second
amendment  to  the  Agreement  is  filed  with  this  Report  as  Exhibit  10.1.

     The  proceeds  of  this  transaction will be used to repay existing debt of
SafeGuard.  At  the  closing  of  this transaction, the existing agreements with
SafeGuard's  current  senior  note  holders  and  line  of credit lender will be
terminated.

     The  transaction  is  subject  to  approval  by the Company's stockholders,
approval  by  various  regulatory agencies including agencies in states in which
the  Company  does  business,  and  other  customary  conditions.  The Company's
Stockholders Rights Plan has also been amended so that this transaction does not
trigger  issuance  of  the  Rights  thereunder.

and Note Purchase Agreement dated June 29, 1999 and that certain First Amendment
to  Debenture  and Note Purchase Agreement, dated July 27, 1999 (as amended, the

Amendment  as  of  the  day  and  year  first  written  above.
