ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
In an action brought against the Company by Reon International Corp.
and Reon Corp. in the Superior Court of King County, Washington, the plaintiffs
allege breach of contract, misappropriation of trade secrets, and breach of
other obligations by the Company. The action was filed in late July 1996 and,
since that time, a significant number of the plaintiffs' initial claims have
been dismissed. The plaintiffs have amended their complaint three times, most
recently in January 1997, and now allege that certain transactions between the
parties constitute a joint venture partnership. The plaintiffs seek dissolution
of the alleged joint venture partnership, damages in excess of $10 million, and
other relief. The Company has formally denied all of the plaintiffs' claims and
is vigorously defending this action. It is the opinion of the Company's
management that this action is without merit and will be resolved without a
material adverse effect on the Company.
