ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.

     Chattem, Inc. (the "Company") in its 1994 Annual Report to Shareholders
(the "Annual Report") included in note 14 to its audited financial statements
consolidating condensed financial data of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Signal
Investment & Management Co. ("Signal"). Signal was formed by the Company in
1986 for the purpose of holding certain trademarks and investments and has no
active operations. Signal is a joint and several guarantor (the "Guarantee")
of the Company's $75,000,000 12.75% Series B Senior Subordinated Notes due
2004 (the "Notes"), which Guarantee and Notes were registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Securities Act"), on a Form S-2
Registration Statement which was declared effective August 5, 1994.

     The Company's obligations under the Notes are absolutely and
unconditionally, and jointly and severally guaranteed, on a senior
subordinated basis by Signal and will be guaranteed by any future or existing
subsidiary of the Company that is required to guarantee the Company's senior
indebtedness or other debt PARI PASSU with or junior to the Notes. Signal's
Guarantee is subordinated to the prior payment in full of the Company's
senior indebtedness and is limited to such amount as will not result in such
Guarantee being a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law. Signal may be
released from the Guarantee and its related obligations only if all of its
capital stock is sold to another person or if Signal consolidates with,
merges into or sells all or substantially all of its assets to, another
person, in accordance with the requirements of the indenture pursuant to
which the Notes were issued.

     Signal has or will file reports under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, as a result of the registration of the Guarantee under the
Securities Act, which reports will include greater detail than that included
in note 14 of the Company's financial statements in the Annual Report.
Accordingly, in order to supplement the information previously disclosed by
the Company in its Annual Report, the Company reports the following
consolidating financial data illustrating the composition of Signal and the
Company's non-guarantor subsidiaries.
