ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
As previously reported, on March 23, 2000, First Alliance Corporation (the
"Company") and several of its subsidiaries filed a voluntary petition for relief
under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California. Since the March 23,
2000 petition date, the Company has operated as a debtor in possession and is in
compliance with all bankruptcy reporting requirements, including the filing of
Monthly Operating Reports.
Since the petition date, the Company has been principally engaged in dealing
with bankruptcy-related matters, and, together with its outside advisors,
formulating a substantially modified business strategy in an effort to
expeditiously formulate, confirm and consummate a plan to sell and market the
Company's business units and related assets. The Company, which at its peak
employed over 450 people, presently has approximately 70 full-time employees.
The Company plans to further reduce its staff to the minimum number of employees
necessary to wind up the Company's affairs. In addition, the Company's remaining
management, financial and accounting staff now devote a significant portion of
their time to developing and implementing the Company's asset marketing and
sales plan and to administering the bankruptcy proceeding including, among other
things, preparing detailed financial budgets, formulating and preparing
disclosure materials relating to the bankruptcy proceeding, analyzing accounts
payable and receivables, assembling data for the Company's schedules of assets

and liabilities and statement of financial affairs which are required to be
filed with the Bankruptcy Court and preparing the Monthly Operating Reports for
the Bankruptcy Court and Office of the United States Trustee.
As a result of the above, the Company has requested that the Securities and
Exchange Commission allow it to follow a modified reporting procedure in lieu of
the periodic reports required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. Such modified reporting procedures would include filing under cover
Form 8-K copies of the Monthly Operating Reports for each bankrupt entity as
required to be filed with the Bankruptcy Court and Office of the United States
Trustee. The Company has filed its Monthly Operating Reports for the month of
April 30, 2000 with the Bankruptcy Court and Office of the United States
Trustee. A copy of these reports for each bankrupt entity is attached hereto as
Exhibits 99.1, 99.2, 99.3, 99.4.
