ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.
On May 18, 1997, a class action lawsuit was filed against the Company in the
District Court of Dallas County, Texas (Dixson et al. v. Monaco Finance, Inc.,
No. DV983914). The plaintiffs allege various violations of Texas consumer law
by the Company with respect to certain installment contracts for the credit
purchase of motor vehicles. The complaint seeks the recovery of unspecified
actual and statutory damages and attorney's fees.
At this early stage in the proceedings, it is impossible to express any view
of the probable outcome of this lawsuit. In any event, management intends to
cause the Company to vigorously defend the allegations.
