ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.

         Effective December 31, 1998, the Registrant has changed its state of
incorporation from Delaware to Florida (the "Reincorporation"). This change in
its state of incorporation was approved by the holders of a majority of the
Registrant's outstanding shares of common stock at the Registrant's 1998 annual
meeting of shareholders. To complete the Reincorporation, the Registrant merged
into and is continuing its business as a Florida corporation. The
Reincorporation will not result in any change in the Registrant's name,
business, assets or liabilities, will not cause the Registrant's corporate
headquarters or other facilities to be moved and will not result in any
relocation of management or other employees. Shareholders will not be required
to undertake a mandatory exchange of stock certificates for the Registrant's
shares. Previously issued stock certificates will automatically represent an
equal number of shares of the new Florida company following completion of the
merger on December 31, 1998.

         Additional information about the Reincorporation and the Registrant is
contained in the Registrant's Form10-12G filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, as amended by Amendment No. 2 filed on December 28, 1998.
