Item 5.
On September 15, 1999, AKI, Inc. (the "AKI"), a wholly owned subsidiary
of AKI Holding Corp. ("Holding" and together with AKI, the "Company") purchased
all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, no par value, of
RetCom Holdings Ltd., a Delaware corporation ("RetCom"), and all of the issued
and outstanding options and other rights to purchase capital stock of and all
other equity rights of RetCom and also refinanced the working capital
