ITEM 5.  OTHER ITEMS

         On November 12, 2003, the U. S. Federal Circuit Court of Appeals
affirmed the previously disclosed decision in John Mezzalingua Associates, Inc.
d/b/a PPC v. Antec Corp., a civil action in the US District Court in Florida.
Antec Corp. is now known as Arris International, Inc. and is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Arris. The District Court, as previously disclosed, awarded the
plaintiff approximately $1.9 million in damages plus post-judgment interest.
The calculation of a portion of the damages remains the subject of a separate
appeal by the plaintiff. As a result, Arris will reserve approximately
$2.2 million, or approximately $.03 per share, in the fourth quarter for
litigation expense. Arris currently is reviewing its options with respect to
further appeals.

         On November 19, 2003 Arris sold approximately $20 million of Accounts
Receivable due us from Cabovisao to an unrelated third party for approximately
$10 million in immediately available funds. As previously disclosed Cabovisao's
parent is seeking reorganization under applicable Canadian law. As a result of
the sale, Arris will recognize a reduction in bad debt expense of approximately
$1.5 million in the fourth quarter related to the carrying value of those
receivables.
