Item 5.     OTHER EVENTS

On October 20, 2000, ASD Systems, Inc. d/b/a Ascendant Solutions, a Texas corporation ("ASD Systems"), completed its reincorporation from the State of Texas to the State of Delaware through a
merger transaction effected in accordance with the terms and conditions of an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") between ASD Systems and Ascendant Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of ASD Systems
("Ascendant Solutions").  The Merger Agreement, including the merger transaction resulting in the reincorporation (the "Merger"), was approved by the stockholders of ASD Systems at a special meeting duly called and held on October 19, 2000.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, ASD Systems was merged with and into Ascendant Solutions, with Ascendant Solutions continuing its corporate existence under the laws of the State of Delaware.  By operation
of law, Ascendant Solutions assumed all of the assets and liabilities of ASD Systems existing as of the effective time.  The existing Board of Directors and officers of ASD Systems became the Board of Directors and officers of Ascendant Solutions for
identical terms of office.  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each share of common stock, par value $.0001, of ASD Systems issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger, was automatically converted into one fully paid and nonassessable share of
common stock, par value $.0001 of Ascendant Solutions.  In addition, each warrant and stock option of ASD Systems issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger was automatically converted into an option or warrant to purchase, on the same terms
and conditions as were applicable under the ASD Systems option or warrant, as the case may be, the same number and class of shares of Ascendant Solutions' capital stock.

By virtue of filing this Form 8-K, the common stock of Ascendant Solutions is deemed to be registered under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") on the same
basis and in the same manner that the shares of common stock of ASD Systems were so registered, pursuant to Rule 12g-3(a) and (f) thereunder. The common stock of Ascendant Solutions, like the common stock of ASD Systems, will continue trading on The
Nasdaq Stock Market's National Market under the symbol "ASDS."  Delivery of certificates representing common stock of ASD Systems will constitute "good delivery" of the common stock of Ascendant Solutions.

As permitted by General Instruction F to Form 8-K promulgated under the Exchange Act, Ascendant Solutions is filing as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, that press release issued by and
on behalf of Ascendant Solutions,on October 20, 2000, which such press release is specifically incorporated herein by reference.
