Item 5. Other Events.
On January 29, 1999, Utopia Marketing, Inc. issued the
following press release:
UTOPIA MARKETING, INC. ANNOUNCES DECISION NOT TO LIQUIDATE -- On
January 25, 1999, the Board of Directors of Utopia Marketing, Inc.
reversed its November 30, 1998 decision to recommend to the
shareholders that the company's assets be liquidated and
distributed to shareholders. Instead of liquidating, the board
determined that it was in the best interest of Utopia to commence
the development of a new line of fashion foot wear.
The board believes that Utopia is well positioned to take
advantage of business opportunities in the foot wear industry.
Although Utopia has been inactive since 1996, prior to that time
Utopia's principle business was developing foot wear products, and
Utopia's management team has significant experience in the foot
wear industry.
A number of recent developments prompted the board's decision
to reenter the foot wear business. The devaluation of the national
currency in Brazil should allow the company to obtain raw materials
for its products at favorable prices. Management has also received
favorable indications of interest from potential vendors of the
proposed line of foot products to be produced by the company. In
addition, management has confirmed the availability of a designer
and product manufacturer on terms that management and the board
believe are favorable to Utopia. Because the operations of the
company will be in a start-up phase for the near future, the
company will be subject to the risks normally associated with
start-up ventures.
As a result of these actions by the board, Utopia will not
hold a shareholders meeting to vote on the previously recommended
liquidation proposal. Instead, the board expects to have an annual
meeting of the Utopia shareholders in May of 1999.
