ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.
As reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K, dated January 29,
1998, of AmeriServe Food Distribution, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("AmeriServe" or the "Company"), AmeriServe has entered into a merger agreement
to acquire (the "ProSource Merger") ProSource, Inc. ("ProSource"). According to
ProSource's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 27,
1997 (the "ProSource 10-K"), fourth quarter results are lower than for the
fourth quarter of 1996. Net sales decreased to $967.5 million for the quarter
ended December 27, 1997 from $1,057.4 for the quarter ended December 28, 1996.
Net loss for the quarter ended December 27, 1997 was $8.4 million as compared to
a loss of $7.8 million for the quarter ended December 28, 1996. Based on
information filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission"), including information in the ProSource 10-K, the Company believes
that EBITDA (excluding non-recurring gains and losses) for ProSource decreased
to $2.0 million for the quarter ended December 27, 1997 from $9.1 million for
the quarter ended December 28, 1996. The Company believes this deterioration is
due to a number of factors, including the termination of ProSource's
distribution contract with Arby's, increased operating expenses and certain
expenses incurred in connection with the start-up of new distribution centers.
The Company believes that it will realize substantial cost savings as a result
of the ProSource Merger, including significant opportunities to consolidate its
administrative functions and distribution network. However, no assurance can be
given that the Company will recognize any such cost savings. The ProSource
Merger is subject to certain customary conditions (not including stockholder
approval or expiration of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino
Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, both of which are assured or
have been obtained).
ProSource is currently subject to the periodic reporting and
disclosure requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and
in accordance therewith files periodic reports and other information with the
Commission. The information provided above should be read in conjunction with
the public filings of ProSource, including the ProSource 10-K.
