Item 9. Regulation FD Disclosure.

     On February 9, 2004,  the Registrant  filed with the Delaware  Secretary of
State a  Certificate  of  Amendment  to change its  corporate  name to  National
Healthcare  Exchange  Services,  Inc.  This  change is  intended  to conform the
corporate name to the Registrant's current business.

     In addition,  the Registrant's  Board of Directors have approved the filing
of a Form 15 with the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission  to  deregister  its
common  stock and to suspend  its  reporting  obligations  under the  Securities
Exchange  Act of 1934.  As a result  of  filing  the Form 15,  the  Registrant's
obligation to file with the SEC certain reports and forms, including Forms 10-K,
10-Q  and  8-K,  will  immediately   cease,  and  the  Registrant   expects  the
deregistration to become effective within 90 days of the filing with the SEC.

     Due to the increase costs and burden of compliance  under  securities laws,
rules  and   regulations   applicable   to  public   companies,   including  the
Sarbanes-Oxley  Act of 2002,  as well as the nature  and  extent of trading  and
liquidity  of the  common  stock,  the Board of  Directors  determined  that the
advantages   of  continuing   as  a  public   company  are   outweighed  by  the
disadvantages.

     In  addition  to the  significant  time and  cost  savings  resulting  from
deregistration,  this action will allow the Registrant's management to focus its
attention and resources on implementing the Registrant's business plan.

                                    SIGNATURE

     Pursuant to the  requirements  of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, the
registrant  has duly  caused  this  report  to be  signed  on its  behalf by the
undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
