Item 5. Other Events and Regulation FD Disclosure

              In January 2004, New Century Equity Holdings Corp. (the “Company”) entered into an agreement with the former majority shareholders of Operator Service Company (“OSC”) to settle all claims related to the April 2000 acquisition of OSC by the Company. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will transfer to the former OSC majority shareholders 525,000 shares of the common stock of Sharps Compliance Corp. (“Sharps”) owned by the Company. Additionally, the former OSC majority shareholders agreed to a voting rights agreement which allows the Company to direct the vote of their New Century shares owned. Subsequent to the transfer of the Sharps common stock shares, the Company’s interest in Sharps will be 3.6% of the outstanding shares. The Company will record a non-cash charge to discontinued operations in the fourth quarter of 2003 of approximately $390,000 in conjunction with the settlement agreement.
