Item 5. Other Events.
------------
Following a hearing conducted at the Registrant's request before the Nasdaq
Listing Qualifications Panel (the "Panel") on July 15, 1999 to determine whether
the Registrant could continue to be listed on The Nasdaq National Market
pursuant to an exception to certain quantitative criteria, via written notice
dated September 20, 1999, the Panel determined to delist the Registrant's common
stock from The Nasdaq National Market effective with the close of business on
September 20, 1999. The Panel also determined that, at the time of delisting
from The Nasdaq National Market, the Company did not comply with the
requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market. Accordingly,
following the date of the delisting, the Company's common stock has been traded
on the OTC Bulletin Board.
