Item 3. Bankruptcy or Receivership
(a) On March 3, 1997, U.S. LAN Systems Corporation (the "Registrant")
filed a voluntary petition for reorganization (the "Petition") with the United
States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Alexandria
Division (the "Bankruptcy Court") under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United
States Code (the "Bankruptcy Code").
The Registrant filed the Petition because the Registrant is indebted to
various persons and is unable to pay its debts in full as they become due and
payable. The Registrant believes that this step was necessary for the Registrant
to ensure that its business operations continue without interruption while the
Registrant settles its obligations with its creditors and secures the additional
financing necessary to recapitalize the Registrant. At present, the Registrant
is managing its business as debtor in possession subject to Bankruptcy Court
approval for certain actions.
As of the date of this report, no plan of reorganization has been filed
by the Registrant.
Item 7. Exhibits.
None
