Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

          Based upon information set forth in the Company's  Quarterly Report on

holder  of  $989,137  principal  amount  of  Series B Notes and the Funds in the

in certain  circumstances.  Stephen  Feinberg  possesses  sole power to vote and
direct  the  disposition  of all  securities  of the  Company  owned  by each of

Cerberus, International,  Ultra, the Funds and the Unaffiliated Entities are the
holders of warrants to purchase, respectively, 76,606, 61,901, 5,771, 44,109 and

investment  control  over such  Unaffiliated  Entities'  2,886  warrants and the
Shares underlying such warrants.

          Pursuant to an  agreement  with the  Company  dated  August 26,  1998,
Cerberus, International,  Ultra, the Funds and the Unaffiliated Entities are the
holders of additional  warrants (the "New Warrants") to purchase,  respectively,
170,031, 265,249, 27,205, 204,038 and 13,602 additional Shares. Stephen Feinberg
possess sole voting but no investment  control over such Unaffiliated  Entities'
13,602 New Warrants and the Shares underlying such New Warrants.

deemed to beneficially  own 14,359,636  Shares,  or 22.7% of those deemed issued
and outstanding pursuant to Reg. Section 240.13d-3.

Shares,  by Stephen  Feinberg or any person or entity  controlled  by him or any

22, 1997 (the "GSCP  Agreement"),  GSCP has the right to receive  the  dividends
from, and the proceeds from the sale of, $8,992,159  principal amount (the "GSCP
Interest")  of the  $15,174,268  principal  amount  of  Series  B Notes  held by
Cerberus  and the Shares  into which such  Series B Notes  relating  to the GSCP
Interest are  convertible.  In addition,  as described  above,  the Unaffiliated
Entities in the aggregate have the right to receive the dividends  from, and the
proceeds from the sale of, $7,238,688 principal amount of Series B Notes and the
Shares into which such Series B Notes are  convertible  and warrants to purchase
16,488 Shares and the Shares underlying such 16,488 warrants.

        Securities of the Issuer.

          As of August 20, 1998, Cerberus,  along with GSCP, FIT and FCC entered
into a Credit Agreement with the Company and CI pursuant to which Cerberus, GSCP
and FIT were to provide a senior  credit  facility  to the  Company of up to $60

purposes (the "New Senior  Credit  Facility").  The New Senior  Credit  Facility
expires in February 2001 and bears interest on outstanding principal balances at
a per annum  rate  equal to prime plus  1.5%,  subject  to  increase  in certain
circumstances.  On August 26, 1998, Coram (i) received initial funding under the
New Senior Credit Facility and (ii) issued the New Warrants  described in Item 5
hereof.

          As of  April  22,  1997,  Cerberus  and  GSCP  entered  into  the GSCP
Agreement  pursuant to which  Cerberus  transferred to GSCP the right to receive
the proceeds of, including the dividends from and the proceeds from the sale of,
certain  securities  of the Company  held by  Cerberus,  including  (i) the GSCP
Interest in the Series B Notes and the Shares into which such Series B Notes are
convertible and (ii) $15,341,104  principal amount of the $69,034,968  principal
amount of the Series A Notes due 2000 of the Company held by Cerberus.

          The  Series B Notes and the Shares  issuable  upon  conversion  of the
Series B Notes have the benefit of certain  registration  rights  granted to the
holders thereof by the Company.

          Except as described herein, no contracts, arrangements, understandings
or similar  relationships  exist with respect to the  securities  of the Company
between Stephen Feinberg and any person or entity.
