ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
The Registrant filed a Form S-8 on September 14, 1998 to register 390,000
shares of its common stock it provided to three individuals as compensation
for consulting services. Upon further review, the Registrant deemed it may
have inadvertently violated the intent of the Novation Agreement (see Form 8-K
filed on July 14, 1998). Following a prudent course of action, it rescinded
the service contracts and cancelled the shares issued to two of the three
individuals. It is canceling a total of 260,000 shares: 130,000 shares issued
to each of Mr. John Hwang, its current President, and Mr. Ike Suri, a major
shareholder of the Registrant.
The Registrant continues to view these individuals as valuable contributors to
its growth and expects to continue to benefit from their services. Registrant
may enter into other agreements with these individuals to compensate them for
past and future services.
The Registrant is continuing to evaluate the 130,000 shares issued to Mr. Leo
Paul Murphy. Upon resolution, it will disclose the disposition of these
shares in a subsequent Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
