ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS.

     The registrant used the purchase method of accounting in reporting the
previously announced acquisition of Capco Resources, Ltd. ("CRL"), effective
in December 1999. The registrant's financial statements included in the Form
10-QSB for its third quarter ended February 29, 2000, have been prepared on
that basis. Based upon additional analysis of the common stockholder interests
that existed at the time of the transaction, it has been determined that the
acquisition should have been accounted for and reported using
reverse-acquisition accounting procedures.

     In accordance with the application of reverse acquisition accounting,
the historical financial statements of CRL prior to the acquisition become
those of the registrant. Under reverse acquisition accounting procedures, the
net assets of CRL would be stated at their historical carrying amounts and not
their fair values that may result in goodwill. In contrast, the assets of the
registrant for purposes of its financial statements included in the Form
10-QSB for its third quarter ended February 29, 2000, were recorded at their
fair value, which did include goodwill.

     The registrant is preparing the pre acquisition comparative historical
financial statements of CRL along with pro forma financial statements and
other disclosure, giving effect to the business combination using reverse
acquisition accounting at the acquisition date and, if required, will amend
any previously filed reports.



                                   SIGNATURES

     Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
Registrant has duly caused this Report to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned, hereunto duly authorized.
