the interest payment on its 9 3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due November 1,
2007 was not made during the grace period ending November 30, 1996.
The Company is in on-going discussions with its bank lenders regarding
Events of Default under its Credit Agreement arising from covenant violations
and the failure to pay interest on the 9 3/8% Notes. The Company is
continuing to work on a business plan to solve its operational problems. This

bank lenders and bondholders.
The Company's Board of Directors has established a Restructuring
Committee to oversee the Company's restructuring efforts. The Committee,
which will report to the entire Board of Directors, is chaired by Mitchell R.
Cohen and its other members are David A. Bayer and Clifford A. Bean.
The Company has retained Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette as financial
advisor to complete a comprehensive review of the strategic alternatives
available to the Company and to assist the Company in developing a plan to
restructure its indebtedness. In addition, the Company has retained Sidley &
Austin as restructuring counsel, and is also being advised by Ernst & Young,
and by its outside corporate counsel, Latham & Watkins.
The potential consequences of the Company's decision not to pay the
interest on the 9 3/8% Notes and other important information regarding the
Company's financial condition are contained in the Company's Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 1996, which was filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission and is publicly available.

Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The "Risk Factors" and cautionary
