Item 5.   Other Events

          On January 14, 1999, the Registrant completed a Secured Demand Loan
Facility with its majority shareholder and principal lender, Lockheed Martin
Corporation ("LMT"), pursuant to which LMT will provide funding to the
Registrant in addition to the $43 million credit capacity provided by LMT under
existing loan documents.  This additional funding is intended to provide credit
to assist the Registrant in the nonbankruptcy shutdown of its operations under
the Shut-Down Plan approved by the Registrant's Board of Directors.

          The Registrant has fully drawn down on the available credit from LMT
and, except for LMT's additional funding discussed above, does not anticipate
being able to obtain additional funding from other sources.  The Registrant
believes it is highly unlikely that there will be any funds or assets available
for distribution to the holders of its preferred or common stock.

     See the Press Release of Registrant attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
