Item 1.  Changes in Control of Registrant

   On March 27, 1998,  the Company  reported that Empire  Financial  Investments
LLC, a Texas limited  liability company  ("Empire"),  had acquired a controlling
equity  position  in the  Company in  connection  with a plan for the Company to
acquire  certain  business  assets  from DeLuxe  Corporation,  all as more fully
explained in the March 27, 1998 Report on Form 8-K.  Late in May,  1998,  Empire
informed the Company that it no longer wished to pursue the  acquisition  of the
DeLuxe business  assets through the Company,  and that it desired to rescind its
investment in the Company. By July 14, 1998, all of the Directors of the Company
had signed resolutions effecting this rescission.

   In connection  with the  rescission of the Empire  investment  and the DeLuxe
Corporation asset acquisition plan, all of the directors of the Company who were
elected at the time Empire made its investment tendered their resignations after
electing a new board of directors.





   Mr. and Mrs.  Cory  Hofman,  formerly  directors  and control  persons of the
Company,  surrendered  1,200,000  shares  of  the  Company's  common  stock  for
cancellation and paid the Company $10,000 in cash in connection with the sale to
them by the Company of the Company's former "G.E.C"  subsidiary.  As a result of
the rescission of the Empire / DeLuxe transactions, the Company and Mr. and Mrs.
Hofman have  agreed,  as of July 15, 1998, to rescind  the sale of the  "G.E.C."
subsidiary  to Mr. and Mrs.  Hofman.  The Company has  returned the $10,000 cash
amount and has  reissued  the  1,200,000  shares of common stock to Mr. and Mrs.
Hofman,  and Mr.  and  Mrs.  Hofman  have  returned  to the  Company  all of the
outstanding  stock of "G.E.C." 

   The new Board of Directors has elected Norman L. Peterson as President of the
Company, and the Company's executive offices were relocated to space provided by
Mr. Peterson in Overland Park, Kansas.


Item 2.     Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

   As  noted in Item 1,  above,  the  Company  and  Empire  have  rescinded  the
Company's contract rights to acquire business assets from DeLuxe Corporation.

   As noted in Item 1, above, the Company has rescinded its sale of its "G.E.C."
subsidiary to Mr. and Mrs. Cory Hofman,  and has reacquired  that business as an
operating subsidiary as of July 15, 1998.
