ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS

     On April 30,  2002,  Frequency  Electronics,  Inc.  (referred  to as "FEI")
settled the  arbitration  proceeding  it had  commenced  in June 2001 before the
American Arbitration  Association against The Home Insurance Company of Illinois
("Home") under an excess directors and officers liability  insurance policy. FEI
had asserted claims for its loss relating to, among other matters,  sums it paid
in connection with the Global  Settlement and Disposition with the Government on
June 19, 1998.  Under the terms of the settlement  agreement,  Home paid FEI One
Million Five Hundred Thousand  ($1,500,000) Dollars, FEI released its claims and
the arbitration was discontinued.  FEI has now recovered a total of Nine Million
($9,000,000)  Dollars  under the primary  and excess  insurance  policies  which
covered the loss relating to the Global  Settlement and  Disposition and related
matters.
