ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.

     On July 19, 1999, the registrant elected to redeem all of its 11.75% Senior
Subordinated  Notes due 2003,  as  permitted  by  Section 5 of such  Notes.  The
Redemption Date is September 3, 1999. The Redemption Price is $1,094.00 for each
$1,000 principal  amount of Notes,  which is equal to 103.917% of such principal
amount plus  accrued  interest of $54.83 from March 15,  1999,  to  September 3,
1999.

     Unless the registrant defaults in making the redemption  payment,  interest
on the redeemed Notes ceases to accrue on and after the Redemption Date, and the
only remaining right of the note holders is to receive payment of the Redemption
Price on the  Redemption  Date upon  surrender  of the Notes  redeemed  to State
Street Bank and Trust Company, Trustee and Paying Agent.
