ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS

        Effective October 21, 1997, EPL Technologies, Inc. ("EPL") completed a
revolving line of credit agreement with Trilon Dominion Partners LLC,
("Trilon"), EPL's largest shareholder. The line of credit, under which any
amounts drawn are secured by, amongst other things, a blanket lien on the
assets of EPL's wholly-owned US subsidiaries and on the assets of EPL itself,
makes available to EPL $2.1 million for working capital purposes. Any amounts
drawn under this line of credit are repayable on September 30, 1998, unless
repaid earlier or the repayment date is renegotiated. Interest at the "prime"
rate (as published in the Wall Street Journal) plus up to 4% is payable
quarterly in arrears. The line of credit agreement otherwise contains
covenants, representations and conditions customary in transactions of this
kind.
