                          ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
  
  In December 2000, we signed and ratified an acquisition agreement with
  International Technologies and Minerals, Inc. (ITM).  In exchange for
  6,000,000 shares of our common stock, we were to receive a corporate bond
  having a face value of $5,000,000 and all issued and outstanding stock of ITM.
  The corporate bond was to be capable of collateralizing a commercial business
  loan in the amount of $2,500,000.  The common stock was placed in escrow
  pending the collateralization of the loan.
  
  Since signing the agreement, we have sought delivery of the collateralized
  bond without any success.  Accordingly, on August 23, 2001, our board of
  directors determined to rescind and terminate the agreement, and cancel the
  escrowed stock.
