Item 5. Other Events
____________
On May 29, 1998, Richard C. Breeden, Trustee for The Bennett Funding Group,
Inc., et. al., filed suit against the Registrant in the United States
Bankruptcy Court, Northern District of New York (Bankruptcy Case No. 96-61376,
Adversary Proceeding No. 98-70465A). The plaintiff alleges that payments made
by The Bennett Funding Group, Inc. and related entities (collectively,
"Bennett") to the Registrant between March 29, 1990 and March 29, 1996,
collectively totaling approximately $70,155,000 (the "Transfers"), were actual
or constructive fraudulent transfers by Bennett. In the alternative, the
plaintiff alleges that all or some of the Transfers were loans by Bennett to
the Registrant and are currently due and payable on demand. The plaintiff is
seeking payment by the Registrant of the amount of the Transfers, accrued and
unpaid interest, attorneys fees and costs. As discovery and depositions have
not yet commenced, outside counsel to the Registrant is unable to predict the
outcome of this lawsuit. However, should the plaintiff prevail, this
litigation would have a material adverse effect on the Registrant's business
and financial condition. The Registrant would then need to pursue a formal
plan of reorganization or liquidation which would generally result in the sale
of the Registrant's assets to satisfy outstanding obligations. There can be no
assurance that if either action is required to be pursued that all such
obligations would be completely satisfied. Further, in the event of either
action, it is unlikely that stockholders of the Registrant will recover any of
their investment in the Registrant.<PAGE>
