Item 5.  Other Events.

         On  June  18,  1998,  Sirco   International  Corp.  (the  "Registrant")
completed  a  private  placement  offering  pursuant  to  Section  4(2)  of  the
Securities  Act of 1933, as amended,  to certain  individual  shareholders  (the
"Private Placement Shareholders"), of the following securities: (i) an aggregate
of 700  shares of  Series A  preferred  stock,  par  value  $.10 per share  (the
"Preferred  Stock"),  of the Registrant,  and (ii) stock purchase  warrants (the
"Warrants")  for the purchase of an aggregate of 27,500  shares of common stock,
par value $.10 per share (the "Common Stock"),  of the Registrant.  The Warrants
have an exercise price of $4.00 per share, subject to adjustment, expire on June
30, 2001 and were issued  pursuant  to the terms of a Warrant  Agreement  in the
form filed as Exhibit  4.3  hereto.  The  aggregate  purchase  price paid by the
Private  Placement  Shareholders  to the  Registrant for the shares of Preferred
Stock and the Warrants was $658,000.

         Each share of Preferred Stock is convertible into a number of shares of
Common Stock in accordance with the following formula:

                                                       1,000
                                                       -----
                                                   Conversion Price
where:
                  Conversion
                  Price  =            (A)  prior to  May 31, 1999,  $3.33 or (B)
                                      on or after May 31,  1999,  the  lesser of
                                      (i)  $3.33  or (ii)  the  average  closing
                                      share  price  of  the  Common  Stock,   as
                                      reported  by NASDAQ,  for the twenty  (20)
                                      trading days immediately preceding May 31,
                                      1999; provided,  however, that in no event
                                      shall  the  Conversion  Price be less than
                                      $1.66.

         The shares of Common Stock  issuable  upon  conversion of the Preferred
Stock and upon exercise of the Warrants are subject to the  registration  rights
set forth in a  Shareholders'  Agreement,  dated as of June 18, 1998,  among the
Registrant and the Private Placement Shareholders. The shares of Preferred Stock
issued to the Private  Placement  Shareholders are subject to the rights,  terms
and provisions set forth in the Certificate of Designation, dated June 18, 1998,
of the Registrant.
