Item 5. Other Events and Regulation FD Disclosure

     Pending  adoption  by the  stockholders  at  the  upcoming  annual  meeting
(expected  to be held in June of this year) the Board of  Directors  on April 8,
2004,   approved  an  amendment  to  the  Company's   Restated   Certificate  of
Incorporation  providing for the annual election of Directors.  Previously,  the
Directors  have been divided into three classes with the  stockholders  electing
approximately  one-third of the members of the Board of Directors at each annual
meeting.  If approved,  the Amendment  would mean that  beginning  with the 2004
Annual Meeting, 100% of the Directors will be elected each year.

Item 6. Resignation of Registrant's Directors

     Effective  April 8, 2004,  Brian J.  Collins and Nanette  Pattee  Francini,

Securities  and Exchange  Commission  on March 18,  2004,  the terms of the $6.5
million  private  placement of the newly created Series D Convertible  Preferred
Stock  consummated on March 12, 2004,  entitle the three holders of the Series D
(an affiliate of Millennium Entertainment Partners ("Millennium"), affiliates of
Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors ("Kayne") and Rex A. Licklider  ("Licklider") to
each  designate  one director to serve on the Board of Directors of the Company.
Additionally,  Millennium  has the  right  to  designate  a  second  independent
director.

     Mr. Licklider  continues to serve on the Board of Directors as the designee
of Licklider and Charles Norris will continue to serve as the designee of Kayne.

     Effective April 8, 2004, Christopher M. Jeffries was elected to fill one of
the vacancies  created by the resignations of Ms. Francini and Mr. Collins.  Mr.
Jeffries is a principal of  Millennium  and will serve as one of its  designees.
Millennium  continues  to have the  right  to  designate  a  second  independent
director. Biographical information for Mr. Jeffries is as follows:

started,  owned and  managed  several  real-estate  development  companies.  Mr.
