The Registrant hereby amends the following item of its Report on Form 8-K
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 15, 1996.
Item 7. Financial Statements, Pro Forma Financial Information and Exhibits.
------------------------------------------------------------------
(a) Financial Statements of Business Acquired.
-----------------------------------------
The Company acquired patent rights and certain tangible
assets from 3M in its acquisition of certain assets of 3M's Hearing
Health activity. Virtually no liabilities were assumed by the Company. The
Company offered employment to only selected individuals who had been associated
with the Hearing Health activity within 3M. Future activities are expected to
be conducted by the Company in changed physical facilities, with new overall
management, new marketing arrangements and other newly installed functions.
Certain patent rights will be shared with other manufacturers through the sale
of those rights to a newly formed partnership syndicate. No royalties will
accrue to the Company from the partnership syndicate. Because the Company did
not acquire a free standing complete business with separately determinable
accounting records or the other indicia of a discrete business, there are no
determinable financial statements of a business acquired within the meaning of
Rule 3-05(b) of Regulation S-X.
(b) Pro Forma Financial Information.
-------------------------------
As explained above, the Company did not acquire a free
standing complete business with separately determinable accounting records, and
therefore no pro forma financial information is applicable within the meaning of
Article 11 of Regulation S-X.
(c) Exhibits.
