Item 5. Other Events

    On December 21, 2000, Protection One Alarm Monitoring, Inc. ("Protection One") and Westar Industries, Inc. ("Westar") entered into an amendment to Protection One's credit facility with Westar which extended the maturity date of the credit facility to March 2, 2001 and increased the interest rate to reflect current market rates. The terms of the amendment were approved by a special committee of the board of directors of Protection One, Inc.

    Protection One continues to discuss with Westar an extension of the credit facility beyond March 2, 2001. Protection One believes it will be able to meet its liquidity needs for 2001 through additional extensions of the current credit facility, new third party credit facilities or the sale of assets. No assurance can be given as to the terms of any such extension, new credit facilities or sale of assets or that any such transaction will occur at all.
