ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS. In conjunction with the filing of its Form 10-Q for the
         thirteen weeks ended November 2, 1996, the Company disclosed a recovery
         plan to address its working capital needs, which included, among other
         things, selling the Company's warehouse/headquarters building. As part
         of such plan, the Company has sold the warehouse/headquarters building
         for $5.6 million. The proceeds from the sale will be used to pay off an
         $850,000 debt remaining on the building and the remainder of the
         proceeds will be used for general working capital needs. Also, the
         Company announced that it settled for $1.85 million a 1993 lawsuit
         against Service Merchandise Co., Inc. in which the Company had won a
         $13.8 million judgment in November 1995. Service Merchandise had
         appealed the final judgment and the Company was in the process of
         filing an answer to the appeal when the settlement was negotiated. No
         award amount had been reflected in the Company's financial statements.
