              ITEM 5 - OTHER EVENTS
  
                   Circuit Research Labs, Inc. (CRL) is curtailing the
              production of its products effective immediately. It will
              continue to sell its inventory. The high cost of marketing
              CRL's products worldwide has resulted in operating losses
              for the last 5 out of 6 years.
  
  
  
  
  
                   The Company's Board of Directors has proposed
              dissolution of the Company subject to a vote of the
              shareholders as per Arizona law. The shareholders will be
              notified and the vote will take place in the near future.
