ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.
In March, 1999, a purported class action lawsuit was filed against
Microtest, Inc. and certain former officers in the United States District Court
for the District of Arizona. The suit claims that Microtest violated Section
10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by making public misrepresentations
or failing to disclose material facts regarding its financial results. The suit
was filed as a class action on behalf of all purchasers of Microtest stock
between April 14, 1998 and March 2, 1999.
Microtest intends to vigorously defend the suit.
