Item 5. Other Events

On August 14th a customer of Steel City Products, Inc. ("SCPI"), Ames Department
Stores, a customer of Steel City Products, Inc. ("SCPI") that was operating
under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, announced its plans to cease operations
and liquidate its business. SCPI had ceased shipments to Ames on August 9th.

During Ames' Chapter 11 proceeding, SCPI had been shipping Ames on restricted
credit terms and a substantial portion of the post-petition amount owed by Ames
on August 14th is the subject of a reclamation claim by the Company that has
already been filed. While it is too soon to determine what SCPI may recover on
its post- and pre-petition receivables from Ames, management believes that the
total bad debt relating to Ames after applying existing bad debt reserves, which
amount will be reported in SCPI's third quarter results, will be between
$100,000 and $175,000, which amount will be reported in SCPI's third quarter
results.

During its current fiscal year SCPI's sales and profits have exceeded budget, in
part due to sales to Ames. While the cessation of shipments to Ames is expected
to have a short-term impact on SCPI's sales and profits, the Company anticipates
that this will not materially affect its future results, especially in light of
the growth of the new lawn and garden division.

light of these risks.
