Item 5 - Other Events

          In the last few weeks, substantially all of our prospective customers have deferred their orders with the result that we are not able to conduct business in the ordinary course. Effective March 19, 2003, we laid off our staff while key employees and executives develop a restructuring strategy that reflects our available resources and the realities of the current business environment. For the moment, our Vancouver, Canada office remains open and we are organizing a plan to service our customers. We expect that in any event our operations will be significantly downsized with the goals of preserving our intellectual property and servicing our customers.

          While the Board of Directors is optimistic that XML-Global's business will continue in some form, there can be no assurance that the efforts to reorganize our operations will be successful.
