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

         Genfinity Corporation announces the downsizing of some of its
operations.

         Genfinity Corporation is undergoing a downsizing of personnel,
facilities, and has ceased active sales of the web design and development
portions of the corporation's operations. These changes were made as similar
downsizing has occurred throughout the web-oriented business and consulting
industry segment.

         Genfinity Corporation has also refocused web hosting operations,
consulting and training services, and reduced related administrative and
overhead costs. These efforts have been refocused to bring costs inline with
revenues and reduce ongoing expenses.

         Costs associated with this downsizing will fall into both the fourth
calendar quarter of 2000 and the first calendar quarter of 2001.
