ITEM 5.           OTHER EVENTS.

                  On December 31, 1997, the Company issued $1,350,000 of Series
A 6% Convertible Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock") in a private placement. The
net proceeds will be used by the Company for working capital purposes. After
March 1, 1998, the Preferred Stock may be converted at the option of the holder
into shares of the Company's Common Stock at a rate determined by dividing the
liquidation value of the Preferred Stock being converted by the conversion price
then in effect. The conversion price will be the lesser of (i) $8.6125 (which is
the average of the closing bid price of the Common Stock for each of the five
trading days immediately prior to December 31, 1997) or, (ii) up to 82% of the
five-day average closing bid price prior to the conversion date. Any Preferred
Stock that is outstanding on December 31, 1999 will be automatically converted
into Common Stock. The Preferred Stock pays cumulative dividends of 6% per annum
payable quarterly in cash or Common Stock, at the Company's option. The
Preferred Stock may be redeemed, at the option of the Company. The Preferred
Stock was accompanied by an immediately exercisable five-year Warrant to
purchase 40,000 shares Common Stock at exercise prices ranging from $8.6125 to
$11.626875. The Company also issued to the private placement agent and its
designees a similar Warrant to purchase an aggregate of 50,000 shares of Common
Stock at an exercise price of $10.335 per share. On January 20, 1998, the
Company filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and
Exchange Commission to register the Common Stock underlying the Preferred Stock
and the Warrants. (The registration statement will also register the resale of
1,080,193 shares of Common Stock owned by EOI Corp., which are being registered
as a result of EOI's exercise of its piggyback registration rights.) The maximum
number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon conversion of the
Preferred Stock plus the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued upon
exercise of the Warrants is 19.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common
Stock as of December 31, 1997.

                        NOTES TO PRO FORMA BALANCE SHEET

         The November 30, 1997 unaudited pro forma balance sheet reflects the
impact on the Company's capital structure for the issuance of 1,350 shares of
nonvoting Series A 6% Convertible Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock") on
December 31, 1997 from which the Company received funds totaling approximately
$1,158,000, net of estimated offering costs of $192,000. After March 1, 1998,
the Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of the Company's Common Stock
at a rate determined by dividing the liquidation value of the Preferred Shares
being converted by the stated conversion price which is the lessor of (i)
$8.6125 (which is the average of the closing bid price of the Common Stock for
each of the five trading days immediately prior to December 31, 1997) or, (ii)
up to 82% of the five-day average closing bid price prior to a conversation
date. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon
conversion of the Preferred Stock plus the aggregate number of shares of Common
Stock issued upon the conversion of the Warrants is 19.9% of the issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock as of December 31, 1997. The Preferred Stock
must be converted into shares of Common Stock by December 31, 1999.

         The Preferred Stock pays cumulative dividends of 6% per annum payable
quarterly in cash or by issuing shares of the Company's Common Stock. The
Preferred Stock may be redeemed, at the option of the Company, at any time prior
to conversion in cash at the redemption price.

         In connection with the issuance of the Preferred Stock, the Company
issued immediately exercisable Warrants to purchase 90,000 shares of the
Company's Common Stock to the buyer, underwriter and its designees. These
Warrants have an exercise price ranging from $8.6125 to $11.626875 and expire on
December 31, 2002. While the Company has not yet assigned a value to the
Warrants, the net impact on the pro forma adjustments is $0.
