Item 5.  Other Events

On January 30, 2002, the Company was served with a complaint by its former
President and Chief Operating Officer, Wanda Dearth.  The complaint alleges that
the Company breached an agreement with Ms. Dearth and is seeking damages and
attorney's fees.

The Company's Board of Directors terminated Ms. Dearth's employment on December
19, 2001.  The Company believes that it is justified in its action, believes the
suit has no merit and is considering its legal options, including filing a
countersuit.
