Item 5.   Other Events

The Registrant has been unable to prepare certified financial statements for its
fiscal  years  ended  September  30, 2001 and 2002  because of its limited  cash
resources.  However,  the Registrant is required to file periodic reports of its
operations  and  financial  condition  with the  Bankruptcy  Court  and the U.S.
Trustee.  Each  such  report  covers a monthly  period  and  contains  an income
statement,  balance sheet and statement of cash receipts and disbursements,  all
of which are unaudited, but certified by officers of the Registrant. Once filed,
such reports are publicly  available  for  inspection  at  www.deb.uscourts.gov.
However,  since the reports are filed  separately for the Registrant and each of
its U.S.  subsidiaries  that have filed petitions under the Bankruptcy Code, and
as a result,  it is difficult to determine and evaluate  consolidated  operating
results, the Registrant is filing with this Form 8-K as supplemental information
an unaudited consolidated balance sheet and income statement for the month
of July 2003.


Item 7.  Exhibits

         99.   Unaudited consolidated financial reports for July 2003,
which include the Company's U.K. subsidiary, which is not part of the
bankruptcy but is in liquidation.
