ITEM 5. Other Events.
McLaren Performance Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a
License Agreement in 1994 with Dana Corporation ("Dana"). On July 21, 1998, Dana
terminated the License Agreement. On September 9, 1998, the Company filed an
action alleging that Dana breached the License Agreement. On April 6, 1999, the
Company filed a patent infringement action against Dana, alleging that Dana
infringed upon the Company's patented GERODISC technology. On December 5, 2000,
the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan entered an
Order granting Dana's motion for summary judgment and dismissing the Company's
patent infringement action. The Company continues to explore its legal options
with respect to the patent infringement action. The Company's breach of contract
action remains pending and is set for trial in early 2001.
