Item 5. Other Events
On March 5, 1998, the United States District Court for the Northern
District of California entered an order dismissing with prejudice the
class action lawsuits filed against the Company and certain of its
officers in July and August 1996 (Polk v. Fritz, Weiss v. Fritz and E.M.
Lawrence etc. Trust v. Fritz), finding that plaintiffs had not alleged
any statement that was false and misleading in violation of the federal
securities laws.
On February 9, 1998, the California Court of Appeal reversed an order of
the San Francisco Superior Court dismissing with prejudice a class
action lawsuit filed against the Company and certain of its officers
(Greenfield v. Fritz), finding that plaintiff should have been given an
opportunity to amend his defective complaint.
