Item 5.  Other Events.

         On September 13, 2002, ION Networks, Inc. (the "Company"), received
equity financing in the amount of $300,303.00 (the "Preferred Stock Financing")
for the issuance of 166,835 unregistered shares of the Company's Series A
Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock") at $1.80 per share. Each share of
Preferred Stock is convertible into 10 shares of the Company's Common Stock at
the conversion price of $0.18, which was the last closing bid price of the
Company's Common Stock on Friday September 13, 2002. The Preferred Stock is
non-voting, has a standard liquidation preference equal to its purchase price,
and does not pay dividends. Proceeds of the Preferred Stock Financing will be
used for working capital and general corporate purposes. All of the shares of
Preferred Stock were purchased by directors and management of the Company. The
purpose of the Preferred Stock Financing is to enable the Company to comply with
the Nasdaq SmallCap Market's initial listing requirement of a minimum of
$5,000,000 of stockholders' equity so that the Company may be eligible for an
additional 180-day grace period to attempt to regain compliance with the $1.00
minimum bid price requirement of the Nasdaq SmallCap Market.

Item 9.  Regulation FD Disclosure.

         Below is the Company's pro forma balance sheet as of June 30, 2002
adjusted to reflect the funds received by the Company as a result of the
Preferred Stock Financing.
