ITEM 5.  OTHER ITEMS.

On July 30, 2002, we suspended operations in our Ohio and California facilities
and reduced our employee head count significantly. In doing so, we have
reevaluated our approach to multiple service centers in response to the current
economic conditions of the industry and some of our key customers. We anticipate
utilizing the excess capacity in our two remaining facilities in Delaware and
Florida to service our customers. By taking these steps, we anticipate a
reduction of cost without an adverse effect on revenues, and thus we believe we
will increase our available cash and liquidity. We will maintain the leases in
California and Ohio until we can sublet the facilities or market conditions
warrant restarting operations.
