Item 5. Other Events and Regulation FD Disclosure.

         On July 25, 2002, we completed the transaction under an agreement with
Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. to make a $1.5 million investment in us in exchange for
a 7% convertible note and a three-year warrant to purchase 300,000 shares of our
common stock at exercise prices of $0.936 for the first 150,000 shares, $0.975
for the next 50,000 shares, and $1.17 for the remaining 100,000 shares. Laurus
may convert the convertible note at any time into shares of our common stock at
a fixed conversion price of $0.78, subject to certain restrictions in the
purchase agreement.

         We may pay the principal of and interest on the convertible note, which
has a one-year term, in cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of
cash and stock. If we use our common stock to pay the note, the conversion price
will be the lesser of (i) $0.78 and (ii) 88% of the average of the 7 lowest
closing prices during the 22 trading days prior to the date we give notice of
payment. We make no payments until November 1, 2002, at which time we will pay
interest and one-ninth of the principal on the first business day of each
calendar month and on the maturity date of July 1, 2003. If the monthly payments
are made in cash, it will be at an additional 5% interest rate. We granted
Laurus a security interest in our assets.

         We have agreed to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and
have declared effective by November 25, 2002, a registration statement
registering the resale of the shares of our common stock issuable upon
conversion or payment of the note and exercise of the warrant.

         We intend to use the proceeds of the investment for general corporate
purposes.
