Item 5. Other Events
On February 19, 1998, a shareholder commenced litigation against the
Company and certain named officers of the Company. In the lawsuit, entitled
Koenig v. Feldman, et al. which was filed in the United States District
Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, the plaintiff alleges that
the defendants, in violation of federal securities laws, engaged in a scheme
to artificially inflate and maintain the market price of the Company's Common
Stock by, among other things, making false and misleading statements or
failing to disclose material facts in documents filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission or in press releases issued by the Company, particularly
with respect to the Company's efforts to obtain timely payment for the
Company's products and services and the Company's termination of business
with certain managed care companies. The plaintiff, who filed the lawsuit
on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, seeks certification
of the lawsuit as a class action on behalf of all persons who purchased the
Company's Common Stock between September 3, 1997 and February 16, 1998. The
Company believes that the lawsuit is without merit and intends to engage in a
vigorous defense. There can, however, be no assurance that the Company will
prevail in such defense or that any order, judgment, settlement or decree
arising out of the lawsuit will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial condition or results of operations.
