Item 5.   Other Events

The  registrant is conducting its business as a  debtor-in-possession  under the
Federal  Bankruptcy  Code. The  Registrant has been unable to prepare  certified
financial  statements  for its year  ended  September  30,  2001  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.  In
order to make such reports more readily  available for  stockholders and members
of the public,  the  Registrant  is filing the reports  under Form 8-K excluding
copies of bank  statements  and operations of inactive  subsidiaries.  Since the
reports  are  filed  separately  for  each  Registrant  and  each  of  its  U.S.
subsidiaries that have filed petitions under the Bankruptcy Code, the Registrant
is also filing an unaudited  consolidated  balance sheet, income statement,  and
schedule of cash receipts and disbursements.
