  Item 5.  Other Events.
  
       On July 1, 1999, Identix Incorporated ("Identix") completed a $15 million
  private placement of its common stock. The investments were made by Heights
  Capital Management, a private equity investor in emerging growth companies, and
  Marshall Capital Management Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Credit
  Suisse/First Boston. Hambrecht & Quist served as Identix' placement agent on
  this transaction.
  
       Identix sold approximately 1.8 million shares of common stock at a 5
  percent discount from the average closing bid price for the previous 10 trading
  days. In addition, the company issued the investors warrants to purchase
  additional shares of common stock at a premium. These warrants enable the
  investors to purchase up to approximately 900,000 shares until Jan. 1, 2001 and
  an additional 350,000 shares until July 1, 2004.
  
       Under the terms of the agreement, Identix agreed to register the resale of
  the shares issued in the initial sale and underlying the warrants. Terms of the
  transaction included a provision that could have resulted in a one-time issuance
  of additional warrant shares if the registration statement had not been declared
  effective by July 23, 1999. A registration statement covering the resale of
  shares was filed on July 2, 1999 and was declared effective on July 9, 1999.
