ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS

        Aristar, Inc. (the "Company") has been named as a defendant in several
recently filed class action suits in Alabama in which various industry-wide
practices arising from routine business activities are being challenged and
various damages are being sought.  The Company believes that its practices are
permissible under state and federal laws and will defend these suits
accordingly.  At this time, the Company is unable to determine whether any of
the classes will be certified, the possibility of any adverse outcome, or the
effect, if any, of such an outcome on the Company.
