                             ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS

     Pursuant to a Stock Subscription Agreement entered into in July 1996,
Registrant sold to Unimedia, S.A., a French company ("Unimedia"), 1,000,000
shares of Common Stock of Registrant at a purchase price of $2.00 per share.  A
copy of that Agreement is attached to this Current Report as Exhibit A.  The
purchase price was received by Registrant on August 16, 1996, and the
certificates representing such shares were issued in the name of Unimedia on
August 20, 1996.  The shares were not included in an effective Registration
Statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("the "Act"), but were
issued pursuant to the exemption set forth in S4(2) of the Act and the Rules and
Regulations issued thereunder by the Commission.

     An agreement was entered into by Unimedia, Registrant and Harvey Bibicoff,
Chairman of the Board of Registrant, which contemplated an agreement between
Registrant and the holders of all the ordinary shares of Unimedia issued and
outstanding in exchange for the issue and delivery to such holders of 10,000,000
shares of Preferred Stock, and 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock, of Registrant.
If such transaction take place, such holders will own approximately 70% of all
the authorized shares of capital stock of Registrant.  A copy of that agreement
is attached hereto as Exhibit B.  Since an agreement with such holders has not
been executed and the transaction has not taken place, Registrant is not filing
herewith financial statements of Unimedia or pro forma financial information
which is referred to in the instructions for Item 2. of Form 8-K.
