              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               DECEMBER 31, 1993
                                  (UNAUDITED)

(1)      SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
         In October 1993, Great American Management and Investment, Inc. (the
         "Company" or "GAMI") changed its fiscal year end from July 31 to
         December 31.  The results of operations for the period from August 1,
         1993 to December 31, 1993 reflected operations from the previous year
         end to the new year end. This period is referred to herein as the
         "Transition Period" and has been presented with the comparable period
         of the prior year.

         The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
         of the Company have been prepared pursuant to the Securities and
         Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules and regulations and should be read
         in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes
         thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
         fiscal year ended July 31, 1993.  In addition, due to the change in
         accounting for Eagle Industries, Inc. ("Eagle"), as discussed below,
         reference is made to Eagle's transition report on Form 10-K for the
         five months ended December 31, 1992.  The accompanying Condensed
         Consolidated Financial Statements reflect, in the opinion of
         management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the
         Transition Period financial statements.  All such adjustments are of a
         normal and recurring nature, except for the effects of those items
         described in Notes 2, 5, 6, 7 and 8. Operating results for the
         Transition Periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results
         that may be expected for the full year.

         In September 1992, GAMI's Board of Directors (the "Board") authorized
         the distribution (the "Distribution") of the common stock of Eagle to
         GAMI's shareholders.  In conjunction with this authorization, GAMI
         reported the operations of Eagle as discontinued operations in the
         Consolidated Financial Statements beginning with the year ended July
         31, 1992.  In October 1992, GAMI's Board decided to delay the
         Distribution.  In October 1993, GAMI's Board resolved that, due to a
         variety of factors which occurred since the August 1992 receipt of a
         ruling from the Internal Revenue Service allowing tax free treatment,
         GAMI would discontinue its intention to complete the Distribution.
         Accordingly, Eagle's financial condition and results of operations
         have been consolidated in GAMI's Condensed Consolidated Financial
         Statements.  Eagle is a diversified holding company with businesses
         producing capital goods and other products serving industrial,
         commercial and consumer markets.  For a further description of Eagle's
         businesses, see Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
         Condition and Results of Operations.

(2)      DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

         Eagle is currently pursuing options for the sale of Lapp
         Insulator Company ("Lapp").  Eagle sold Power Structures, Inc. ("Power
         Structures") and Underground Technologies, Inc. ("Underground
         Technologies") during the five months ended December 31, 1993 for cash
         and notes totalling $3.5 million. Accordingly, Lapp, Power Structures
         and Underground Technologies have been reflected as discontinued
         operations in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.  To
         provide for the estimated losses from operations and from the ultimate
         disposition of these businesses, a provision of $32.2 million was
         included in the Condensed  Consolidated Financial Statements for the
         five months ended December 31, 1993.  These charges were reflected as
         loss on disposal of businesses in the Condensed Consolidated Financial
         Statements. Included in the loss on disposal of businesses was the
         write-off of approximately $10.0 million of goodwill related to Lapp
         and Underground Technologies.

         In February 1993, Eagle sold, through an indirect wholly owned
         subsidiary, a 60% interest in Signet Armorlite, Inc. ("Signet") to
         Galileo Industries, Ottiche, S.p.A. ("Galileo").  Signet manufactures
         and distributes ophthalmic lenses used for eyeglasses and also
         distributes supplies used in ophthalmic lens processing.  Eagle
         received cash proceeds of $22.9 million, which were used to reduce
         debt outstanding under one of its credit facilities.  Under the terms
         of the sale agreement, Eagle has the right to put (the "Put") its
         remaining 40% interest in Signet to Galileo on February 26, 1998. 
         Galileo has the right to

         prior to February 26, 1998.  The price under either the Put or Call is
         based on the book value of Signet at February 25, 1993.  The
         operations of Signet have been reflected as discontinued operations in
         the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.  No
         activity for Signet was recorded in 1993 as the estimated loss from
         operations for this period was reserved for at December 1992.  Under
         the terms of the sale agreement, Galileo also has the right to put
         certain of Signet's plant and equipment (the "Real Estate Put") to
         Eagle at any time from February 26, 1997 through February 26, 1998 for
         $10.0 million.  No gain or loss has been recognized with respect to
         the Real Estate Put.

         Due to the limited net operating loss carry back availability, the
         Company did not recognize income tax benefits on $2.5 million of
         losses from discontinued operations for the five months ended December
         31, 1993.  Losses from discontinued operations of $1.9 million for the
         five months ended December 31, 1992 have been reflected net of
         applicable income tax benefits of $0.4 million.  Due to the limited
         net operating loss carryback availability, the Company did not
         recognize income tax benefits on $32.2 million of losses on disposal
         of businesses for the five months ended December 31, 1993.  Losses on
         disposal of businesses for the five months ended December 31, 1992 of
         $3.0 million, have been reflected net of applicable income tax benefit
         of $2.0 million.

        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
                               DECEMBER 31, 1993
                                  (UNAUDITED)


         In April 1993, Eagle commenced a tender offer for $151.0 million
         aggregate principal amount of its 13% Senior Subordinated Notes due
         1998 ("13% Notes") at a price, as subsequently amended, of $1,049 per
         $1,000 principal amount.  Eagle also solicited consents, at a price of
         $15 for each $1,000 principal amount of 13% Notes purchased, for
         proposed amendments to the indenture governing the 13% Notes ("Note
         Indenture").  Eagle received sufficient consents to adopt the proposed
         amendments to the Note Indenture and consummated the tender offer on
         July 12, 1993, concurrent with the offering of its Senior Deferred
         Coupon Notes due 2003 (the "Notes").  The issue price of each of the
         Notes was $598.97 per $1,000 principal amount at maturity, which
         represented a per annum yield to July 15, 1998, of 10.5%.  The
         aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued was $315.0 million.
         Cash interest will not accrue on the Notes prior to July 15, 1998.
         Cash interest will be payable on January 15 and July 15 of each year
         at a per annum rate of 10.5% commencing on January 15, 1999 and until
         maturity on July 15, 2003.  The net proceeds, after deducting the
         tender premium, consent payments, interest on the 13% Notes tendered,
         and other fees and expenses, amounted to approximately $167.0 million,
         and were used to retire $151.0 million of the 13% Notes and to reduce
         borrowings under Eagle's bank credit agreements.

         On August 16, 1993, GAMI redeemed the $25.0 million principal amount
         10% Subordinated Notes due September 15, 1993 at par plus accrued
         interest using available cash as of such date.

         During the five months ended December 31, 1993, GAMI made voluntary
         and required net principal payments totaling $18.6 million on its
         senior debt.

         The Company and its subsidiaries complied with all covenants of their
         respective debt agreements at December 31, 1993.

         In January 1994, Eagle consummated a refinancing of substantially all
         of its long-term debt.  For further information, see Note 10,
         "Subsequent Events".

(5)      RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES

         In the five months ended December 31, 1993, the Company recorded $89.1
         million of restructuring and other charges related primarily to the
         write-down of certain assets at Hill Refrigeration, a division of
         Falcon Manufacturing, Inc. ("Hill") and Burns Aerospace Corporation,
         the closing of Hill's Canadian plant and Caron International, Inc.'s
         ("Caron") London, Kentucky plant, the downsizing of certain of The
         Pfaudler Companies, Inc.'s foreign operations and a provision for
         litigation matters (as further described in Note 8).  These charges
         consisted of the following (in millions):

(6)      INVESTMENTS ACCOUNTED FOR BY THE EQUITY METHOD

         In August 1993, The Vigoro Corporation ("Vigoro") filed a registration
         statement with the SEC under which the Company publicly offered 3.0
         million shares of Vigoro common stock that the Company owned.  In
         addition, Vigoro agreed to repurchase 0.5 million shares of Vigoro
         common stock directly from the Company.  On September 23, 1993, the
         offering was completed at a price of $24.625 per share.  The closing
         and funding of the offering and repurchase were completed on September
         30, 1993 with the Company realizing net proceeds (net of costs
         expected to be paid subsequent to the sale date) of approximately
         $81.5 million.  $50.0 million of the proceeds from these sales was
         paid to Eagle in January 1994 as a capital contribution and payments
         under a tax sharing agreement (see Note 10).  The remaining proceeds
         are intended to be used for other corporate purposes.  After these
         sales of 3.5 million shares of Vigoro common stock, the Company owned
         approximately 5.8 million shares of Vigoro common stock, or
         approximately 30% of Vigoro's outstanding common stock.  The pretax
         gain realized on these sales was approximately $48.9 million.

         On July 1, 1993, Vigoro adopted the provisions of SFAS 109 (as defined
         in Note 7) and restated its prior period financial statements.
         Accordingly, the Company has restated its investment in Vigoro based
         on Vigoro's restated financial statements.  In addition, in connection
         with the decision to sell a portion of its investment in Vigoro and
         the adoption of SFAS 109, beginning January 1, 1993, the Company has
         fully provided for income taxes on earnings accounted for by the
         equity method.

(7)      CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE

         Due to the change in the year end from July 31 to December 31, the
         Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
         Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109")
         effective January 1, 1993.  The January 1, 1993 financial statements
         reflected an increase in the net deferred tax assets of $8.6 million
         and a corresponding benefit of $8.6 million, which was reflected in
         January 1993 as "Cumulative effect of change in accounting principle".
         As part of the adoption of SFAS 109, various "gross up" adjustments
         were made to the balance sheet in order to adjust amounts which were
         originally recorded on a net-of-tax basis as part of purchase
         accounting.  These adjustments resulted in increases to net property,
         plant and equipment, accrued liabilities, accrued employee benefit
         obligations and other long-term liabilities of approximately $21.4
         million, $1.9 million, $19.3 million and $12.2 million, respectively.
         These increases were offset by a corresponding increase to deferred
         tax assets of approximately $12.0 million.

         At January 1, 1993, after having given effect to the adoption of SFAS
         109, the Company's net deferred tax assets were as follows (in
         millions):

        GREAT AMERICAN MANAGEMENT AND INVESTMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
                               DECEMBER 31, 1993
                                  (UNAUDITED)

         Under the provisions of SFAS 109, during the Transition Period the
         Company has recorded a deferred tax asset of $10.2 million related to
         the income tax benefits derived from discontinued operations (see Note
         2) and the change in accounting principle.  The Company has also
         recorded a deferred tax asset of $4.3 million related to the federal
         income tax benefits derived from continuing operations.  Due to the
         limited availability of net operating loss carrybacks, the Company has
         recognized a valuation allowance of $14.5 million.  In future periods,
         if the Company concludes that such deferred tax assets will be
         realized, it will adjust the valuation allowance accordingly.

         The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial
         Accounting Standards No. 112 "Employer's Accounting for Postemployment
         Benefits" ("SFAS 112") effective December 31, 1993.  The December 31,
         1993 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflected a charge of
         $3.0 million reflected as "Cumulative effect of change in accounting
         principle."  This charge was primarily for workers' compensation,
         short and long-term disability, and medical insurance.

(8)      COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND LITIGATION

         Madison Management Group, Inc. ("Madison"), a non-consolidated
         subsidiary of GAMI, is currently under the protection of Chapter 7 of
         the United States Bankruptcy Code.  On December 31, 1992, the court
         appointed trustee (the "Trustee") for Madison filed a complaint (the
         "Complaint") against the Company, a subsidiary and certain present and
         former officers and directors of the Company and Madison.  During the
         five months ended December 31, 1993, the Company has conducted
         substantive settlement negotiations with the Trustee and certain
         creditors of Madison.  Based upon management's evaluation of these
         matters, the Company has increased its reserve by $10.0 million for
         the five months ended December 31, 1993.  Refer to GAMI's July 31,
         1993 report on Form 10-K for additional information related to Madison
         and the Complaint.

(9)      STOCK OPTIONS

         During the five months ended December 31, 1993, options to acquire
         106,327 shares of the Company's common stock were exercised, with
         total proceeds of $2.8 million realized.

(10)     SUBSEQUENT EVENT

         On January 31, 1994, Eagle completed a refinancing of substantially
         all of its outstanding debt except for the Notes.  Through a newly
         formed subsidiary, Eagle entered into a $425.0 million bank credit
         facility (the "Credit Facility"), with a group of banks.  Eagle also
         entered into an asset securitization program (the "Securitization")
         whereby it sold for approximately $110.0 million certain of its
         accounts receivable. Eagle also received $50.0 million from GAMI in
         the form of a capital contribution and payments under a tax sharing
         agreement.  The transactions referenced above are collectively
         hereafter referred to as the "Refinancing."  Total proceeds from the
         Refinancing were $485.0 million.

         Proceeds from the Refinancing were used to retire Eagle's senior debt
         and a portion of its subordinated debt.  A pre-tax extraordinary
         charge of approximately $26.0 million or $2.34 per share will be
         recorded in the first quarter of 1994 in connection with the
         Refinancing.

         The Credit Facility consists of a $290.0 million term loan due in
         quarterly installments of $5.0 million, in 1994 and increasing to
         $15.0 million per quarter in 1999 and 2000, and a revolving credit
         facility of $135.0 million (subject to borrowing base availability)
         which expires in December 1999.  Borrowings under the Credit Facility
         bear interest at alternative floating rate structures at management's
         option (4.9% at January 31, 1994).  The initial borrowing under the
         revolving portion of the Credit Facility was $35.0 million.  An
         additional $28.0 million was available to borrow at January 31, 1994.

                                  (UNAUDITED)

         In connection with the Securitization, Eagle entered into a
         receivables sale agreement (the "Agreement") whereby Eagle will sell
         on a continuous basis, an undivided interest in a pool of customer
         account receivables.  Under the Agreement, which expires in June 1999,
         the maximum amount of proceeds which may be accessed through this
         Agreement is $145.0 million and is subject to change based on the
         level of eligible receivables and restrictions on concentrations of
         receivables.

                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                               DECEMBER 31, 1993

Capitalized terms not defined herein, are defined in the Notes to Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements.

As discussed in Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, in
October 1993, GAMI changed its fiscal year end from July 31 to December 31.
The results of operations for the period from August 1, 1993 to December 31,
1993 reflected the operations from previous year end to the new year end.  In
addition, GAMI's Board voted to discontinue its intention to complete the
Distribution.  Accordingly, Eagle's financial condition and results of
operations have been consolidated in GAMI's Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements.  The following should be read in conjunction with the Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements included herein, GAMI's Management's
Discussion and Analysis and audited Consolidated Financial Statements included
on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 1993 and Eagle's Management's
Discussion and Analysis and audited Consolidated Financial Statements included
on Form 10-K for the transition period from August 1, 1992 to December 31,
1992.

The Company's continuing operations are compromised of 19 manufacturing and
distribution businesses and a financial services business.  These 19
manufacturing and distribution businesses generally are low and medium
technology industrial companies in niche markets.  They primarily service the
residential construction, electric utility, chemical and pharmaceutical markets
and the automotive aftermarket.  The financial services business manages a
portfolio of real estate investments.  The following is a list of the companies
comprising the Company's manufacturing and distribution operations:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET SALES AND REVENUES

Net sales and revenues of $517.9 million for the five months ended December 31,
1993 were $45.3 million or 9.6% higher than net sales and revenues for the same
period in 1992.  This increase was primarily due to increased volume and to a
lesser extent improved pricing primarily in the Company's manufacturing
businesses.  The most material increases were recorded by Hart & Cooley --
$11.6 million, Hill -- $6.9 million, the Automotive Parts Distribution
Businesses -- $6.7 million, Mansfield -- $6.6 million, Chemineer -- $5.8
million, Elastimold -- $4.4 million, Denman -- $4.3 million and Hendrix -- $3.2
million.  The increase in volume was primarily attributable to the improved
economy, increased residential housing starts, and continued market
penetration.  Partially offsetting these increases was lower sales volume at
Burns of $8.2 million due to decreased expenditures in the commercial aviation
industry and a large order in 1992 not repeated in 1993.

OPERATING (LOSS) INCOME

For the five months ended December 31, 1993, the Company had an operating loss
of $60.0 million as compared to operating income of $21.2 million for the
comparable 1992 period.  The 1993 operating loss included restructuring and
other charges of $89.1 million of which $78.3 million related primarily to the
write-down of certain assets at Hill and Burns, the closing of Hill's Canadian
plant and Caron's London, Kentucky plant and the downsizing of certain of
Pfaudler's foreign operations.  Included in these charges were severance costs,
plant closure costs, disposition costs for property, plant and equipment, the
write-down of goodwill and property, plant and equipment and certain other non-
cash charges.  Also included was a $10.0 million increase in the reserve for
various costs related to the Madison bankruptcy case (see Note 8 to the 
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).  $1.7 million of restructuring 
charges were recorded in the comparable period of 1992.

Excluding restructuring and other charges, operating income for 1993 was $29.1
million which was $5.8 million or 24.9% higher than the comparable period of
1992.  The increase in operating income was primarily attributable to the
increased volume and improved pricing at certain manufacturing businesses as
previously discussed and decreased operating expenses at certain manufacturing
businesses.  These increases were partially offset by continued price
discounting at Hill, decreased joint venture earnings at Elastimold and a mix
of lower margin products and higher manufacturing expenses at certain
manufacturing businesses.

EARNINGS ACCOUNTED FOR BY THE EQUITY METHOD

As disclosed in Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, in
September 1993, the Company publicly sold 3.0 million shares of Vigoro common
stock that the Company owned.  In addition, Vigoro repurchased 0.5 million
shares of Vigoro common stock directly from the Company.  Net proceeds from
these sales (net of costs expected to be paid subsequent to the sale date)
amounted to $81.5 million.  The Company realized a pretax gain of approximately
$48.9 million on these sales.  These sales reduced the Company's ownership of
Vigoro's outstanding common  stock from approximately 47% to 30% and was the
primary cause of reduced equity in earnings for Vigoro of $0.8 million for the
periods under comparison.

NET INTEREST EXPENSE

Net interest expense of $24.6 million decreased $3.8 million or 13.4% for the
five months ended December 31, 1993 when compared to the comparable 1992 period
due primarily to an overall decrease in the total outstanding debt.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rate for the five months ended December 31, 1993 and 1992
differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate.  The 1993 income tax rate
reflected the effect of foreign and state income taxes.  Due to limited net
operating loss carryback availability, the Company did not recognize federal
income tax benefits for losses recognized in the five months ended December 31,
1993.  The effective tax rate for the five months ended December 31, 1992
reflected the effect of foreign and state income taxes and assumptions
regarding the realization 
                                      14
<PAGE>   15
of earnings accounted for by the equity method (as
more fully described in Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements).

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE

The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 109 effective January 1, 1993.  The
January 1, 1993 financial statements reflected an increase in the net deferred
tax assets of $8.6 million and a corresponding benefit of $8.6 million which
was reflected in January 1993 as "Cumulative effect of change in accounting
principle".  As part of the adoption of SFAS 109, various "gross up"
adjustments were made to the balance sheet in order to adjust amounts which
were originally recorded on a net-of-tax basis as part of purchase accounting.
These adjustments resulted in increases to net property, plant and equipment,
accrued liabilities, accrued employee benefit obligations and other long-term
liabilities of approximately $21.4 million, $1.9 million, $19.3 million and
$12.2 million, respectively.  These increases were offset by a corresponding
increase to deferred tax assets of approximately $12.0 million.

The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 112 effective December 31, 1993.
The December 31, 1993 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflected a
charge of $3.0 million as "Cumulative effect of change in accounting
principle."  This charge was primarily for workers' compensation, short and
long-term disability, and medical insurance.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

During the five months ended December 31, 1993, Eagle classified Lapp, Power
Structures and Underground Technologies as discontinued operations.  A
provision for estimated losses from operations and from the ultimate
disposition of these businesses amounted to $32.2 million and was recorded in
the five months ended December 31, 1993.  Power Structures and Underground
Technologies were sold for cash and notes totalling $3.5 million during the
five months ended December 31, 1993.  Eagle is currently pursuing options for
the sale of Lapp.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's operating cash requirements, including working capital, are met
through internally generated funds supplemented with line of credit borrowings.
Cash flow from continuing operating activities was $26.8 million for the five
months ended December 31, 1993, compared to cash flow from continuing operating
activities of $15.2 million in the comparable 1992 period.  The increase was
primarily due to savings achieved in cash interest as a result of the
refinancing of $151.0 million of Eagle's 13% Notes in July 1993 and other debt
reductions.

At December 31, 1993, the Company had available cash and cash equivalents of
$89.8 million.  Subject to borrowing base availability, the maximum additional
borrowings under Eagle and GAMI's revolving credit facilities at December 31,
1993 were $40.4 million and $21.6 million, respectively.  In addition to
revolving credit facilities, additional capital resources included dividends
and potentially the proceeds from sales or borrowings secured by all or a
portion of the Company's investment in Vigoro.  The Company and its
subsidiaries were in compliance with the covenants contained in their
respective credit agreements at December 31, 1993.

As discussed in Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, in
September 1993, the Company sold 3.5 million shares of its common stock in
Vigoro.  The Company realized proceeds of approximately $82.5 million.  The
Company estimates costs of $1.0 million will be paid in connection with the
sale.  $50.0 million of the proceeds from these sales was paid to Eagle in
January 1994 as a capital contribution and payments under a tax sharing
agreement (see Note 10 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).
The remaining proceeds are intended for other corporate purposes.  After the
sale of 3.5 million shares of Vigoro common stock, the Company owned
approximately 5.8 million shares of Vigoro common stock, or approximately 30%
of Vigoro's outstanding common stock.

As disclosed in Note 10 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, on
January 31, 1994, Eagle completed the Refinancing.  Total proceeds of $485.0
million from the Refinancing were used to retire Eagle's revolving credit
facilities and a portion of its subordinated debt.  The initial borrowing under
the revolving portion of this facility was $35.0 million.  An additional $28.0
million was available to borrow at January 31, 1994.  Management believes that
its current cash balance, cash flow from continuing operations and its
availability under

                                      15

revolving credit facilities will be sufficient to pay interest on outstanding
debt, meet current debt maturities, pay income taxes and fund anticipated
capital expenditures.

PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION

Item 5.  Other Events

         At its February 16, 1994 meeting, the Board of Directors (the "Board")
         of Great American Management and Investment, Inc. (the "Company")
         elected Rod F. Dammeyer as President and Chief Executive Officer of
         the Company effective immediately.  Mr. Dammeyer has been a director
         of the Company since December 1992.

         Samuel Zell, who previously held these positions, remains the
         Company's Chairman of the Board.

Item 6.  Reports on Form 8-K

         The Company filed a Form 8-K dated October 12, 1993:

         Under Item 5 - "Other Events" to announce that its Board approved the
         Company making an additional investment in its wholly owned subsidiary
         Eagle Industries, Inc. ("Eagle") concurrent with Eagle completing a
         refinancing of its debt on more favorable terms and conditions than
         exist under its present capital structure.  In addition, the Company's
         Board resolved that, due to a variety of factors which occurred since
         the August 1992 receipt of the ruling from the Internal Revenue
         Service, the Company will not complete the spin-off of Eagle.

         Under Item 8 - "Change in Fiscal Year", the Company announced that its
