ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS

         Connectivity Technologies Inc. (the "Registrant") is in the process of
completing its annual report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December
31, 1997 which it intends to file upon the competion of its 1997 audit. The
Registrant believes that revenue for 1997 was approximately $42.0 million and
that the Registrant will report a net loss of approximately $9.0 million for the
year. These results are approximate and are subject to review following
completion of the audit of the Registrant's 1997 financial statements.

         The Registrant concluded an amended secured credit agreement with its
lenders effective June 2, 1998, under which certain loan covenants not complied
with as of December 31, 1997, were deleted. However, the amended facility
requires the elimination of the Registrant's overadvance position of
approximately $5,000,000 by July 10, 1998. The Registrant is currently in
discussions with its lenders looking to an extension of the current facility,
the implementation of a new loan facility or other corrective action but no
assurances can be given that such negotiations will be successful. If no
satisfactory agreement is concluded with the lenders, the amended facility
would require repayment of the entire obligation of approximately $17.7 million
by July 31, 1998, and the Registrant does not believe that it would be in a
position to make the required overadvance reduction or to repay the entire loan
on the dates currently specified.

         As announced on February 20, 1998, the Registrant seeks to sell it
Energy Electric Assembly division and would apply the proceeds of the sale to
debt repayment, however, a completion of any transaction by the July 10 or July
31 deadlines is unlikely. Even if a sale of the EEA division were completed by
July 10, the proceeds would be insufficient to repay the Registrant's total
obligations to its lenders.

         If the negotiations for relief with the lenders are unsuccessful and if
the Registrant cannot meet the above referenced obligations on July 10 and July
31, the lenders would have the right to commence legal action against the
Registrant for the repayment of the entire debt, plus certain other amounts, and
to proceed against the Registrant's assets. Such an eventuality would likely
prevent the Registrant from continuing as a going concern.
