ITEM 5.  Other Events.

         On July 29, 1999, Aetna Industries, Inc., a Deleware corporation
("Aetna") issued a press release to announce that it has commenced a cash tender
offer and consent solicitation relating to it $85.0 million outstanding
principal amount of 11 7/8% Senior Notes due 2006, Series B (the "Notes"). Aetna
announced that the purchase price to be paid for each validly tendered Note will
be based upon a fixed spread of 50 basis points over the yield to maturity on
the 6 1/4% U.S. Treasury Note due October 1, 2001, plus accrued and unpaid
interest on the Notes to, but not including, the date of payment, less a consent
payment equal to $30 per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes. Aetna expects
that the purchase price for the Notes will be fixed on August 20, 1999, when the
yield on the reference Treasury Note will be determined (or, if the tender offer
is extended, the second business day prior to the expiration date).

         In conjunction with the tender offer, consents to certain proposed
amendments to the indenture governing the Notes are being solicited. Among other
things, these amendments would eliminate substantially all of the indenture's
restrictive covenants. Adoption of the proposed amendments requires the consent
of holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Notes. Holders who tender
their Notes will be required to consent to the proposed amendments.

         A copy of the press release issued by Aenta on July 29, 1999 is
attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is hereby incorporated by reference in its
entirety.
