OTHER EVENTS AND REQUIRED FD DISCLOSURE

 

On January 20, 2004 Healthwatch received a letter dated January 13, 2004 from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Letter”). The Letter stated that because Healthwatch is not in compliance with its reporting requirements under Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) as a result of Healthwatch having not filed all required reports, Healthwatch may be subject, without further notice, to an administrative proceeding to revoke its registration under the Exchange Act. The Letter stated that this administrative proceeding would be brought by the Commission’s Division of Enforcement pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Exchange Act. Further, the Letter stated that if Healthwatch’s stock is trading, it also may be subject to a trading suspension by the Commission pursuant to Section 12(k) of the Exchange Act. Healthwatch is currently discussing its options in response to the Letter with its advisors and attorneys.
