Item 5.  Other Events.


         The Registrant's press release dated May 17, 1999, regarding certain
organizational and management changes, is attached.

         This Report includes or incorporates by reference information which may
constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal
securities laws. Although the Registrant believes the expectations contained in
such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurances that
such expectations will prove correct. Such forward-looking information is based
upon management's current plans or expectations and is subject to a number of
risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect current plans,
anticipated actions and the Registrant's future financial condition and results.
These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, risks and
uncertainties relating to conducting operations in a competitive environment;
delays, difficulties, management transitions and employment issues associated
with consolidation of, and/or changes in business operations; managing the
integration of existing and acquired companies; risks and uncertainties
associated with existing or future vendor relationships; and general economic
conditions. Certain additional risks and uncertainties are set forth in the
Registrant's 1998 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. As a consequence of these and other risks and
uncertainties, current plans, anticipated actions and future financial condition
and results may differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking
statements made by or on behalf of the Registrant.
