Item 5.   Other Events

     As previously disclosed in the Registrant's filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, Lockheed
Martin Corporation ("Lockheed Martin"), the majority stockholder of the
Registrant, makes credit available to the Registrant in the form of a Revolving
Credit Agreement and a Cash Management Agreement.  The Registrant has fully
drawn down the $13 million of credit available under the Revolving Credit
Agreement.  At the request of the Registrant, the Registrant and Lockheed Martin
have twice recently amended the Cash Management Agreement.  The first amendment,
dated August 24, 1998, increased the aggregate amount that the Registrant may
borrow under that agreement from $2 million to $5.5 million.  The second
amendment, dated September 25, 1998, increased the aggregate amount available to
the Registrant under the Cash Management Agreement from $5.5 million to $14
million.  The other material terms of the Cash Management Agreement were not
affected by these amendments.  Management of the Registrant anticipates that the
increased amount available to the Registrant will allow the Registrant to
continue to meet its near-term operating requirements pending Lockheed Martin's
ongoing review of the Registrant's business plan and the Registrant's
consideration and development of strategic alternatives.  A copy of the Cash
Management Agreement as amended is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
