  Item 5.   Other Events.
            ------------
  
            In a press release disseminated on July 26, 1999, the Registrant
  issued a press release announcing the delay of its earnings release and
  conference call originally scheduled for July 26, 1999. A copy of the press
  release is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
  
            Statements in this report that are forward looking involve known and
  unknown risks and uncertainties, which may cause the Registrant's actual results
  in future periods to be materially different from any future performance that
  may be suggested in this release. Such factors may include, but are not limited
  to, reliance upon subcontractors, fluctuations in customer demand and
  commitments, both in timing and volume, introduction of new products, commercial
  acceptance and viability of new products and expenses associated therewith,
  cancellations of orders without penalties, pricing and competition, the
  Registrant's ability to have available an appropriate amount of production
  capacity in a timely manner, the ability of the Registrant's customers to
  finance their purchases of the Registrant's products and/or services, the timing
  of new technology and product introductions, the risk of early obsolescence
  and the pending stockholder class action lawsuits. Further, the Registrant
  operates in an industry sector where securities values are highly volatile and
  may be influenced by economic and other factors beyond the Registrant's
  control, such as announcements by competitors and service providers. Reference
  is made to the discussion of risk factors detailed in the Company's filings
  with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its reports on
  Form 10-K and 10-Q.
