ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS

         USDATA Corporation (the "Company") has received a letter from The
Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. ("Nasdaq") notifying the Company that over the
previous 30 consecutive trading days, its common stock has not maintained a
minimum market value of publicly held shares ("MVPHS") of $5,000,000 as required
for continued listing on The Nasdaq National Market under Marketplace Rule
4450(a)(2) (the "Rule"). In accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4450(e)(1),
the Company will be provided 90 calendar days, or until May 15, 2002, to regain
compliance. If, at anytime before May 15, 2002, the MVPHS of the Company's
common stock is $5,000,000 or greater for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading
days, the Company will have achieved compliance with the Rule. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to achieve compliance with the Rule. If
the Company is unable to regain compliance with the Rule by May 15, 2002, the
Company can either appeal Nasdaq's decision to a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications
Panel or submit an application to transfer to The Nasdaq SmallCap Market. The
initiation of the delisting proceedings will be stayed pending Nasdaq's review
of the Company's appeal or the application to transfer its securities to the
Nasdaq SmallCap Market. If the Company decides to appeal, there can be no
assurance that the appeal will be successful, or in the alternative, if the
Company decides to transfer to the SmallCap Market, there can be no assurance
the Company will satisfy the requirements for listing on the Nasdaq SmallCap
Market.
