  ITEM 1.     OTHER EVENTS.
  
  Euro Trade & Forfaiting, Inc. has changed its principal executive
  offices from 42 Brook Street, London, England to Suite 1620 - 400
  Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6C 3A6.
  
  In addition, Euro Trade has received a complaint filed against it in the
  United States District Court for the District of Columbia on November
  22, 2000 by Clarion Investment and Mortgage and Clifftown Holdings
  International Inc. and others (collectively, "Clifftown") alleging,
  among other things, that Euro Trade violated certain United States
  federal securities laws and breached its duty to state certain material
  facts or to correct certain material facts previously disclosed in its
  public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
  "Clifftown Action").
  
  Euro Trade considers the Clifftown Action to be without merit and
  intends to vigorously defend itself against Clifftown's allegations.
  Euro Trade regards the Clifftown Action to be a response to the previous
  action commenced by Euro Trade on November 3, 2000 in the United States
  District Court, Southern District of New York, as amended, against its
  former Chief Executive Officer, John Vowell, its former Chairman,
  Chandra Sekar, its former Chief Financial Officer, Naren Desai, John W.
  Duffell and others (collectively, the "Defendants").  In its action,
  Euro Trade alleges, among other things, that the Defendants participated
  in a wide-ranging fraudulent scheme to benefit themselves and their
  associates at Euro Trade's expense.  Euro Trade is seeking to recover
  from the Defendants, among other things, actual and punitive damages, as
  well as the return of certain shares issued to the Defendants as a
  result of their fraudulent behaviour.
