  into a settlement agreement with hip Communications Inc. ("hip"), which will
  result in the termination of certain legal action against the Company.

  business that the Company acquired in 1996, filed an action against DDN for
  damages for breach of a previous settlement agreement. In exchange for
  terminating all current and future legal action against the Company in
  connection with this matter, DDN will pay the former stockholder $25,000 and
  issue 100,000 shares of restricted Company stock. With the dismissal of this
  litigation, the Company has no pending or threatened legal action against it.
