Item 5. Other Events
Reference is made to Item 3 of Registrant's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997.
On April 1, 1998, a jury in the United States District
Court for the Southern District of New York entered a
verdict in favor of Accuscan, Inc. against Registrant
for infringement of a patent which expired in 1993.
The verdict in favor of Accuscan was for $40,000,000.
Registrant believes that the verdict should be set
aside and will make appropriate motions to the Court
regarding the verdict and will vigorously pursue any
appeal required.
