Item 5. Other Events.

     On August 4, 1998, the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") announced that
effective on August 19, 1998 (or the date the Company is eligible for trading on
another system or exchange, if earlier) it would suspend trading in the Common
Stock of the Company (the "Stock") and recommend that the Stock be de-listed
from the NYSE. The Company is attempting to become eligible for trading on the
OTC Bulletin Board before the suspension to prevent any gap between such
suspension and such eligibility in the trading of the stock.

     Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned hereto duly authorized.
