ITEM 5.  Other Events.

         On 1 May 2002, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Jean Philippe Fragrances,
LLC, received court approval for its bid to purchase certain mass market
fragrance brands and inventories of Tristar Corporation, a Debtor-in-Possession,
in the Chapter 11 proceeding, Case no. 01-53706, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Western
District of Texas, San Antonio Division. Jean Philippe Fragrances is to purchase
the trademarks and related intellectual property of certain brands for $3.5
million, and to acquire certain existing inventory for approximately $4.7
million. Management expects a formal purchase agreement to be signed shortly,
and a closing prior to June 1, 2002.

         The court approved bid by Jean Philippe Fragrances was made in
combination with one by a newly formed company, Fragrance Impressions, Inc.,
which is to be owned by the existing management of Tristar and certain of it
creditors. Fragrance Impressions has agreed to purchase most of the remaining
assets of Tristar and assume certain debt of Tristar. As part of the bid, Jean
Philippe Fragrances has agreed to enter into a manufacturing agreement with
Fragrance Impressions for production of the Tristar brands to be acquired. In
addition, Tristar and Fragrances Impressions are to enter into a non-competition
agreement with Jean Philippe Fragrances relating to alternative designer
fragrances and certain mass market cosmetics.

         Tristar has been one of our most significant competitors over the
years. With the addition of the Tristar brands, we expect to increase our share
of mass market fragrance and cosmetic sales. The proposed agreement gives us
worldwide rights to produce and distribute merchandise sold under the specified
brands and trademarks, formerly owned by Tristar. We believe that net sales
under the brands to be acquired could approximate $15 million over the next 12
months.

         Statements in this report which are not historical in nature are
forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown
risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results to be
materially different from projected results. Such factors include execution and
delivery of a definitive acquisition agreement, satisfaction of conditions to
closing, effectiveness of sales and marketing efforts and product acceptance by
consumers, dependence upon management, competition, currency fluctuation and
international tariff and trade barriers, governmental regulation and possible
liability for improper comparative advertising or "Trade Dress". Given these
uncertainties, persons are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the
forward-looking statements.
