Item 5.  Other Events.

         A.  The Company has reached an agreement in principle with its lenders
to extend from June 4 to August 31, 2000 the expiration date of their loan
agreements.

         The agreement was reached following a presentation by the Company
on April 21, 2000 to Wachovia Bank, N.A., Bank of America, N.A. and the
Company's long-term lender, The Prudential Insurance Company of America, of a
cost reduction and control plan and other proposed actions to return the Company
to profitability. The lenders have agreed in principle to reset the overadvance
limits and certain financial covenants to be consistent with the plan. The
lenders will also be receiving additional and more frequent financial and cash
flow information.

         Formal documents reflecting the new arrangements are expected to be
prepared and executed as soon as practical.

         B.  David S. Fraser, vice president of the Company since July 1998 and
chief financial officer since August 1998, resigned effective April 7, 2000. A
search for a replacement has been underway since early April. Meanwhile, the
CFO functions will be carried out by the Acting President, the Treasurer, and
the Controller.
