ITEM 5.      OTHER EVENTS

     On October 11, 2002, NEXIQ Technologies, Inc., a New Hampshire corporation (the "Company"), issued a press release announcing that the Company and certain of its subsidiaries had filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the federal Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, Southern Division (the "Court").  The Company announced that the purpose of the filing is to conduct and consummate a sale of significantly all of the Company's operations on an expedited basis. 

     On November 26, 2002, the Company filed a motion with the Court seeking approval of the sale of substantially all of its assets.  By two orders dated December 12, 2002, the Court granted the Company's motion for orders approving asset purchase agreements, authorizing the sale of substantially all of the Company's core and e-Technician assets and the Company's "IVIS" division assets free and clear of liens, claims, interests and encumbrances and the assumption and assignment of certain executory contracts and leases, and granting related relief. The full text of these two orders of the court were attached to a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on December 18, 2002. 

     On December 23, 2002, the Court issued a third order approving the final asset purchase agreement, authorizing the sale of the Company's assets used in its ePOD product line free and clear of liens, claims, interests and encumbrances and the assumption and assignment of certain executory contracts and leases, and granting related relief.  The full text of this order is attached hereto as Exhibit

      The sales of the Company's core and e-Technician assets and its "IVIS" division assets were consummated on December 20, 2002.  The sale of the Company's ePOD product line assets was consummated on January 8, 2003.  The consummation of these three transactions has resulted in the sale of all of the Company's operating assets.
