  ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS.
  
       As  previously  disclosed  in  the  Company's  periodic  filings  with  the
  Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company is involved in litigation in the
  United States  District  Court for the District of New Jersey in an action filed
  by M.  David  Goldenberg  and  Immunomedics,  Inc.  relating  to  the  Company's
  PROSTASCINT  product.  The Company  moved for summary  judgment  dismissing  the
  action, which motion was granted on April 29, 2003. That dismissal was appealed,
  and oral argument on the appeal was held on March 2, 2004.  The appellate  court
  has not  indicated  when it  expects  to  issue a  ruling;  however,  given  the
  uncertainty  associated with  litigation,  the Company cannot give any assurance
  that the litigation could not result in a material expenditure to the Company.
  
       In connection with a recent review of certain of the Company's intellectual
  property,  it was determined  that the Company was the  recipient,  beginning in
  1998, of correspondence  from legal counsel  representing the former employer of
  Dr. Julius Horoszewicz,  the sole inventor on the principal United States patent
  covering PROSTASCINT.  Such correspondence alleged that the patent rights to Dr.
  Horoszewicz's discoveries were the property of such former employer and that Dr.
  Horoszewicz had no right to assign them to the Company.  The Company  vigorously
  disputed those  allegations,  and the Company has no record of the matter having
  been pursued by such former employer subsequent to August 2000.
  
       The  Company  believes  that  in view of the  marketing  of the  technology
  covered  by the patent  through  the sale of  PROSTASCINT  by the  Company,  the
  Company's  right to use the underlying  technology in its continuing  production
  and sale of  PROSTASCINT  should not be at risk.  However,  if such  claims were
  reasserted,  and if it were to be concluded that Dr.  Horoszewicz in fact had no
  right to assign the patent to the  Company,  a court  could  determine  that the
  Company  has no right to use the  technology  covered  by the patent or that any
  royalties  paid by or payable by the Company in respect of the use of the patent
  should have been paid in the past,  and should in the future be payable,  to Dr.
  Horoszewicz's former employer in lieu of Dr. Horoszewicz. The amount of any such
  payments,  and the Company's liability for them, is not presently  determinable,
  and the Company  cannot give any assurance that an adverse  determination  could
  not result in a material  expenditure to the Company or have a material  adverse
  effect on the Company's financial condition.
  
       Under the Company's  agreement with Dr.  Horoszewicz,  Dr.  Horoszewicz has
  agreed to indemnify the Company against  damages based upon Cytogen's  ownership
  of the rights assigned by Dr. Horoszewicz.
