Item 5. Other Events
On January 15, 1999, the Company purchased approximately $155 million of
equipment (principally vehicles and vending equipment) previously leased under
various operating lease agreements. The assets purchased will continue to be
used in the distribution and sale of the Company's products and will be
depreciated over their remaining useful lives, which range from 3 years to 12.5
years. The Company used a combination of its revolving credit facility and its
informal lines of credit with certain banks to finance this purchase.
As a result of this purchase, the Company's total cost of ownership of this
equipment in the future is expected to be slightly lower.
