Item 5. Other Events.

     On April 3, 2003, the Company announced the jury verdict related to the recent patent infringement allegation against Superconductor Technologies, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Conductus, Inc. (STI).

     The jury agreed with STI’s argument that the Company’s patent (U.S. Patent No. 6,263,215, entitled “Cryoelectronically Cooled Receiver Front End for Mobile Radio Systems”) was invalid and unenforceable and that its Superfilter® III product is not infringing. The jury also awarded STI $3.87MM against the Company as damages for what STI claimed to be unfair competition on the part of the Company.
