Item 5. Other Events.
- ---------------------
As a result of the Company's recent announcement that it is delaying
reporting its financial information for the three-month and nine-month periods
ended July 3, 1999, the Nasdaq Stock Market, on which the shares of Common Stock
of the Company are listed, has informed the Company that the Common Stock will
be delisted unless the Company satisfies Nasdaq's continued listing criteria.
These criteria require, among other things, that the Company file its periodic
reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company has requested a
hearing with Nasdaq's Listing Qualifications Panel, and any delisting of the
Company's Common Stock has been stayed pending this hearing. The Company
expects the hearing to take place within the next several weeks. In the event
that the Company's Common Stock is no longer listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market,
purchases and sales of the Company's Common Stock would likely be conducted in
the over-the-counter market or potentially on regional exchanges.
