ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS.

     On March 26, 2002, NEON Systems, Inc. issued a press release announcing
that we had held our Annual Meeting of Stockholders.  In addition, NEON Systems
announced that we had adjourned the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be
reconvened on Friday, April 5, 2002 at 10:00 a.m. CST at NEON's corporate
headquarters at 14100 Southwest Freeway, Suite 500, Sugar Land, Texas 77478.
We further announced that proxy cards would continue to be received by the
transfer agent until such reconvened meeting.  Any stockholder who has not
received a proxy statement or would like an additional proxy card should contact
J. Bradford Poynter at brad.poynter@neonsys.com or call 800-505-6366. The
adjournment and scheduling of a reconvened meeting was due, in part, to a
systems error in the processing of the proxy vote and the inability of our
transfer agent to certify the results of the votes on all of the proposals set
forth in our Proxy Statement, which was mailed to stockholders on March 5, 2002.
The informal results indicated that all of the proposals had sufficient votes
for passage prior to the adjournment. The press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1
to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and the contents of such Exhibit are
incorporated herein by reference.
