ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS AND REQUIRED FD DISCLOSURES

On April 2, 2004, the Registrant completed the sale of 100% of the capital stock of two of its indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, PTI Advanced Filtration Inc. ("PTI Advanced") and PTI Technologies Limited ("PTI Limited") to domnick hunter holdings, inc. and domnick hunter limited, respectively. The purchase price of the stock was $18 million in cash, which was arrived at through arms-length negotiations. The Registrant was assisted in the transaction by an independent financial advisor.
