ITEMS 5. OTHER EVENTS.
On August 22, 1997, the Company completed a public offering of
4,000,000 shares of its Common Stock at a price of $25.00 per
share. Of the 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock in the offering,
2,200,000 were sold by the Company and 1,800,000 shares were sold
by certain stockholders of the Company (the "Selling
Stockholders"). The Company did not receive any of the proceeds

corporate purposes.
