                    INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT

ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS.

      As previously reported by the Registrant, the Registrant's 50% owned Hong
Kong Joint Venture (the "JOINT VENTURE") was being positioned for a possible
initial public offering (IPO). On June 30, 2005, the Joint Venture filed for
listing of an IPO on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

      The Joint Venture expects to learn the results of the filing in
approximately eight to 12 weeks. No assurances can be given that these steps
will result in an IPO for the Joint Venture. The Registrant will report further
developments at such time as permitted in accordance with Hong Kong and U.S.
regulations. Should the Joint Venture complete its IPO, the Registrant's
ownership of the Joint Venture will be reduced.

                                   SIGNATURES

      Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
