  ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS
  
       A.  On November 1, 2000, John Sculley resigned from the Company's Board of
  Directors.  Mr. Sculley had served on the Company's Board since early 1996, and
  was an investor in the Company's first round of equity financing.  The Company
  is currently conducting a search to fill the vacancy on the Board.
  
       B.  The Company has received correspondence from the Nasdaq Stock Market,
  Inc., dated November 16, 2000, regarding the continued listing of the Company's
  Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market.  The Company's stock may be delisted
  from trading on or about February 16, 2001 if the minimum bid price of the
  Company's Common Stock does not equal or exceed $1.00 for a minimum of ten
  consecutive trading days.  If the Company's stock does not satisfy listing
  requirements before then, the Company may attempt to seek review of the Nasdaq
  Stock Market's decision to delist its stock, or may apply for quotation of its
  Common Stock on any other organized market on which the shares may be eligible
  for trading. There can be no assurance that the Company's Common Stock will
  satisfy the requirements for listing on the Nasdaq National Market. Delisting of
  the Company's Common Stock may have an adverse impact on the market price and
  liquidity of the Company's securities, and may subject the Company's stock to
  the "penny stock rules" contained in Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange
  Act of 1934 and the rules promulgated thereunder.  A copy of the letter
  addressed to the Company dated November 16, 2000 from the Nasdaq Stock Market,
  including any exhibits thereto, is included herein as Exhibit 99.1. Such letter
  is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.
