Item 5.           Other Events

         On January 9, 2001, an amended class action complaint (the "Amended
Complaint") was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York against Philips International Realty Corp., a Maryland
corporation (the "Company"), and its directors. The Amended Complaint alleges a
number of improprieties concerning the plan of liquidation of the Company. The
Company believes that the asserted claims are without merit, and will defend
such action vigorously.

         The Amended Complaint amends the initial class action complaint (the
"Original Complaint") filed in the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York against the Company and its directors on October 2, 2000.
The day after the Original Complaint was filed, the plaintiff served the Company
with an order to show cause why a preliminary injunction should not be issued
enjoining the vote on the Company's then proposed plan of liquidation. At a
conference with the Court on October 5, 2000, the parties stipulated that the
vote on the Company's proposed charter amendment and the plan of liquidation
would proceed as scheduled. On November 9, 2000, the Court, ruling from the
bench, denied the plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction. On November
30, 2000, the Court issued its written opinion, and the judgment was entered
denying the plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction on December 1, 2000.

         The Company hereby files the Amended Complaint as an exhibit hereto.

Item 7.           Financial Statements, Pro Forma Financial Information and
                  Exhibits

         (c)      The Company hereby furnishes the following exhibits:

         99.1     Amended Class Action Complaint filed in the United States
                  District Court for the Southern District of New York by The

                  similarly situated, Plaintiff, against Philips International
