Item 5. Other Events.

         On July 29, 2004, the Company entered into an Agreement and Consent
with the holders of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred
Stock") pursuant to which the Company has agreed to relinquish its right to
redeem the Preferred Stock during such time as an "Event of Default" (as such
term is defined in the Certificate of Designations for the Preferred Stock)
exists and remains uncured and the holders of the Preferred Stock have
exercised their right to elect a majority of the board of directors of the
Company pursuant to the rights granted by the Certificate of Designations for
the Preferred Stock. The Agreement and Consent is attached hereto as Exhibit
99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

         As a result, the Company believes that there are no circumstances that
would require the Preferred Stock to be redeemed for cash or other assets upon
the occurrence of an event which is outside the control of the Company. The
Company will continue to classify its Preferred Stock within permanent equity
in its financial statements.

                  therein.
