Item 5.  Other Events.

On October 26, 2000,  Santee  River  Rubber  Company  ("Santee  River")  filed a
petition in bankruptcy in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of
South  Carolina.  The petition was filed by Santee River under Chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy  Code.  The  Santee  River  facility   continues  to  be  closed  and
substantially all inventory has been disposed of. Discussions with other project
participants as to the recapitalization of the project are continuing.

The Trust is considering whether it should recognize either a complete loss or a
substantial  impairment  in the value of its  investment  in Santee River in its
financial statements for the third quarter of 2000.
