Item 5.           Other Events
                  ------------

                  On June 5,  1998,  Ventek,  Inc.  ("Ventek"),  a  wholly-owned
                  subsidiary of Advanced  Machine  Vision  Corporation  ("AMV"),
                  loaned  $250,000  (the  "Loan")  to Rodger A. Van  Voorhis,  a
                  director of the AMV. Mr. Van Voorhis is also  president  and a
                  director of Ventek and a 25% owner of Veneer Technology,  Inc.
                  ("Veneer")  from whom AMV  purchased  Ventek in July 1996.  In
                  payment for Ventek, AMV issued, among other  consideration,  a
                  $1,000,000  6.75% note due July 23,  1999 (the  "Note")  and a
                  Class I Warrant  to  purchase  1,000,000  shares of AMV common
                  stock at $2.25 per share.

                  The Loan is  secured  by Mr.  Van  Voorhis'  right,  title and
                  interest  in the Note.  The Loan is payable on July 23,  1999.
                  Additionally,  Mr. Van Voorhis and the other former  owners of
                  Veneer  agreed  to amend the  Class I  Warrant  to reduce  the
                  number of shares  issuable  upon  exercise of the Warrant from
                  1,000,000 to 250,000.
