Item 5. OTHER EVENTS
On October 6, 1995, the Registrant filed a Form SB-2 Registration Statement
with the Securities and Exchange Commission registering shares of common stock
to be issued to stockholders pursuant to a rights offering. Under the terms of
the rights offering, the Registrant offered the holders of its common stock, the
right to subscribe for additional shares at a purchase price of $.10 per share
on the basis of 1.5325 shares of common stock for each share held as of January
16, 1996. A total of 6,001,000 shares of common stock was offered to all
stockholders. The Registration Statement was declared effective January 19,
1996 and copies of the corresponding prospectus and subscription documents were
subsequently mailed to stockholders.
The rights described in the Registration Statement expired on February
23, 1996. At the end of business on that date the Registrant had received
subscriptions and payment for (i) 5,097,503 shares of common stock, at an
aggregate purchase price of $509,750, pursuant to basic subscription rights and
(ii) 5,601,091 shares of common stock, at an aggregate purchase price of
