Item 7.  Financial Statements and Exhibits

   (c)   Exhibits

         The following document is furnished as an Exhibit
         pursuant to Item 9 hereof:

         Exhibit 99.1 - Press Release of the Company regarding
         the move of its 6% Convertible Subordinated
         Debentures to the OTC Bulletin Board from the Nasdaq
         Small Cap Market listing.


Item 9.  Regulation FD Disclosure

On January 29, 2004, the Company issued a press release
describing the fact that its remaining 6% Convertible
Subordinated Debentures due 2012, originally issued in 1987 and
paid down or converted from an original balance of $95 million to
a current balance of less than $24 million will be delisted from
the Nasdaq Small Cap Market at the opening of business on
February 4, 2004 because they no longer meet the Nasdaq listing
requirement to have at least two market makers over the previous
10 consecutive trading days.  Because this debenture issue is
small and in the late stages of its life, the Company has elected
not to take advantage of the Nasdaq appeal process or Marketplace
Rule 4310(c)(8)(A) which provides a period of 30 days to secure
additional market makers for the security.  It is expected that
the debentures will subsequently be traded on the OTC Bulletin
Board under the symbol KAMNG.  A copy of this press release is
attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by
reference.

All of the information furnished in this report and the
accompanying exhibits shall not be deemed to be "filed" for the
purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and shall not be incorporated by reference in any
Company filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
