Item 5. Other Events.
The Registrant will be unable to file its Annual Report
on Form 10-K for fiscal 1996 ("1996 Form 10-K") in a timely manner,
for the reasons described below. The Registrant intends to file
the 1996 Form 10-K as promptly as possible but cannot predict at
this time when such filing will be made.
The Registrant recently completed the process of moving
its principal offices from Aventura, Florida to Sausalito,
California, and relocating its financial records from Florida to
North Carolina. In addition, during the last fiscal quarter of
fiscal 1996, the Registrant accepted the resignation of the
individual who had served as its chief financial officer, as well
as the resignations of several other employees in its financial
department, and a new controller was appointed by the Registrant in
September 1996. These changes have created substantial delays in
locating and verifying financial data required to prepare the
Registrant's Form 10-K. In light of the Registrant's preliminary
determination of a significant loss for fiscal 1996, as well as the
need to allocate various non-recurring charges taken during the
year, the Registrant requires additional time in which to
adequately verify the financial data for the period in question.
Furthermore, the Registrant is in the process of resolving certain
accounting issues that may materially affect its financial
statements, as well as related disclosures throughout the report.
As a result of these circumstances, Coopers & Lybrand,
the independent public accounting firm retained by the Registrant to audit the
Registrant's financial statements for fiscal 1996, has been delayed in
completing its audit, as well as its final review and approval of the Form 10-K
and the financial statements to be incorporated therein.
