ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.
Regulation S Private Placements.
Registrant is currently undertaking a placement of convertible
debentures (the "Debentures") and associated warrants (the "Warrants") to
acquire Common Stock pursuant to Regulation S ("Regulation S") adopted under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"). The Debenture offering is being
offered wholly to foreign investors. The maximum authorized aggregate principal
amount of the Debentures which may be sold is $7 million, although no minimum
amount of Debentures is required to be sold.
The first sales of Debentures were consummated on February 20, 1997,
for an aggregate amount of $400,000.00. On February 25, 1997, an additional
$600,000.00 principal amount of Debentures were sold. All sales were to foreign
investors. The Debentures sold in the foregoing transactions bear interest at
the rate of 7% per annum and are convertible into the Common Stock of the
Registrant at a conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) the average closing
bid price for the five consecutive trading days ending the trading day
immediately preceding the issue date of the Debentures, or (ii) 83% of the
average closing bid price of the Registrant's Common Stock for the five
consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding the
date of conversion. The Debentures have a two-year term to maturity, with
interest only payable in semi-annual installments prior to the maturity date.
The Debentures were sold coupled with Warrants to acquire an aggregate
of 300,000 shares of the Common Stock of the Registrant at an exercise price
equal to $1.75 per share, subject to customary adjustments in the event of
recapitalizations and similar events. The Warrants issued with the
above-described Debentures expire three years from the date of issuance.
