Item 5. Other Events.
On September 13, 2002, Robert Lee resigned as the Chief Financial Officer
of Buckhead America Corporation (the "Company"). The Company and Mr. Lee agreed
on this action in light of the recent budget cuts and staff reductions by the
Company. Douglas Collins, President of the Company, stated that "Bob Lee has had
a long and distinguished career with, and has provided outstanding service to,
the Company. We regret the unfortunate economic circumstances that have led to
this action, and this change is certainly no reflection on the Company's
assessment of Mr. Lee. We wish Bob the best in his future professional
endeavors." The work previously performed by Mr. Lee for the Company will be
reassigned to other staff members and to outside service providers. The Company
will appoint William Bausser, currently its Vice President of Finance and
Administration, as its Chief Accounting Officer for reporting purposes.
