Item 5.     Other Events and Regulation FD Disclosure.
            -----------------------------------------

     On  December 10, 2002, we filed a Current Report on Form 8-K to report that
our  subsidiary,  Comverge  Technologies,  Inc.,  closed a three-year $2 million
secured  revolving  line of credit from Laurus Master Fund, Ltd.  This Amendment
is  being filed to provide additional details about the restrictions on the sale
of shares of our common stock issuable upon the conversion of the line of credit
and  upon  the  exercise  of  the  warrant.

     Prior  to  June  5, 2003, Laurus cannot sell any shares of our common stock
issuable  upon  the  exercise  of the warrant, but may sell shares of our common
stock  issuable upon the conversion of the Comverge line of credit, subject to a
daily volume limitation equal to 25% of the average daily trading volume for the
30  trading  days prior to the proposed sale (determined on a rolling basis). On
and  after  June  5,  2003,  Laurus  may sell, without any restriction or volume
limitation, shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrant
and  the  conversion  of  the  Comverge  line  of  credit.
