Item 5 - Other Events.

     On July 16, 1998, the Company consummated a private placement of (a) 300
shares of its Series B Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock"), and (b) a three 
year warrant to purchase 200,000 shares of the Company's common stock 
("Common Stock") at an exercise price of $5.16 per share to KA Investments 
LDC, an accredited investor (the "Investor"), for a gross purchase price of 
$3,000,000. 

     Each share of the Preferred Stock:

- -    has a stated value of $10,000;

- -    provides for dividends cumulatively at the rate of 6% per annum,
     payable quarterly in cash or, at the Company's option, under certain
     circumstances, Common Stock (the "Dividend Stock");

- -    is non-voting; and

- -    is convertible at any time on or after the 180th day (the "180th Day")
     after July 16, 1998 into common stock at a conversion price equal to
     the lesser of (i) $5.16  and (ii) the average closing sales price 
     for any two trading days during the ten trading day  period prior to
     conversion (which two trading days shall be selected by the holder of
     the Preferred Stock), but not less than 80% of the average closing
     sales price (the "Average Closing Price"), as reported by the American
     Stock Exchange, over the five trading days preceding July 16, 1998
     (the "Conversion Price").  The Conversion Price is subject to
     antidilution adjustments.  Prior to the 180th Day, conversions are
     only permitted at a conversion price greater than 101% of the Average
     Closing Price. Any remaining shares of Preferred Stock will be 
     automatically converted into Common Stock on June 16, 2000 (which date
     may be extended under certain circumstances).



     Pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement between the Company and the
Investor dated July 15, 1998, (the "Registration Rights Agreement") the Company
is obligated to (a) file a Form S-3 Shelf Registration Statement under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") to register the shares of Common
Stock underlying the Preferred Stock and the Warrants, as well as two years of
anticipated Dividend Stock on or before September 14, 1998 (the "Registration
Statement"), (b) use its best efforts to have the Registration Statement be
declared effective under the Act as promptly as possible but in any event prior
to November 12, 1998 and (c) maintain the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement for three years thereafter.  Under certain circumstances, the holders
of the Common Stock subject to the Registration Statement may effect an
underwritten offering of such stock.




     Holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to certain specified remedies,
and under certain circumstances are entitled to require the Company to redeem
their shares of Preferred Stock at a premium, if the Company does not timely
comply with its obligations with respect to the Preferred Stock.

     The private placement was facilitated by Reedland Capital Partners
("Reedland") in consideration for which Reedland received $150,000 in cash and a
three year common stock purchase warrant to purchase 50,000 share of common
stock at an exercise price of $5.16 per share.

     The net proceeds to the Company of approximately $2,820,000 will be used
for production budget funding and working capital purposes.
