ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS

The Company has received Notices of Proposed Adjustments from the Internal
Revenue Services with respect to its federal income tax returns for the years
ended December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995. These notices would disallow losses
totaling approximately $20.5 million, which would result in the Company being
liable for approximately $7 million of tax, plus interest and possible
penalties.

Based upon these notices, The Cross Country Group has informed the Company that
it will not proceed with the proposed Merger with the Company at this time. The
Company is engaged in discussions with Cross Country in an attempt to agree to
modifications to the Merger Agreement, which expires on July 1, 1997. As a
result, the Homeowners Group Meeting of Stockholders scheduled for June 19, 1997
has been postponed.

The Company intends to vigorously contest the IRS position.
