Item 5.     Other events.
            ------------
            Pursuant to an Exchange Agreement dated as of December 31, 1998, by
and among IAT Multimedia, Inc. ("IAT"), JNC Opportunity Fund Ltd. and JNC
Strategic Fund Ltd. ("Strategic"), Strategic agreed to exchange the 198,255
shares of IAT Common Stock it purchased from IAT in a private placement on June
19, 1998 for 2,000 shares of IAT's Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par
value $.01 per share (the "Preferred Stock"). IAT issued the 2,000 shares of
Preferred Stock to Strategic effective as of January 7, 1999. The 2,000 shares
of Preferred Stock are convertible into 198,255 shares of IAT Common Stock,
subject to adjustment for certain events including stock splits,
recapitalizations, mergers or consolidations of IAT. The Preferred Stock is
convertible into IAT Common Stock at the option of Strategic at any time and, at
the option of IAT, at any time on or after December 30, 1999 or earlier, in the
event the closing sales price of the IAT Common Stock as reported by the Nasdaq
National Market attains certain levels during certain periods of time. In
addition, any shares of Preferred Stock not converted by January 7, 2002 will
automatically be converted into shares of IAT Common Stock. The Preferred Stock
has no voting rights, has a liquidation preference of $1.00 per share and is
redeemable by IAT under certain circumstances. Pursuant to the Exchange
Agreement, IAT agreed to register for resale the 198,255 shares of IAT Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock.

         C. Preferred Stock.

Board of Directors of the Corporation is hereby expressly authorized to
provide, by resolution or resolutions duly adopted by it prior to issuance, for
the creation of each such series and to fix the designation and the powers,
preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions relating to
the shares of each such series. The authority of the Board of Directors with
respect to each series of Preferred Stock shall include, but not be limited to,
determine the following:

            (a) the designation of such series, the number of shares to
constitute such series and the stated value if different from the par value

addition to any voting rights provided by law, and, if so, the terms of such
voting rights, which may be general or limited;

            (c) the dividends, if any, payable on such series, whether any such

dates upon which such dividends shall be payable, and the preference or
relation which such dividends shall bear to the dividends payable on any shares
of stock of any other class or any other series of Preferred Stock;

redemption by the Corporation, and, if so, the times, prices and other
conditions of such redemption;

            (e) the amount or amounts payable upon shares of such series upon,

                                     - 2 -
<PAGE>

            (f) whether the shares of such series shall be subject to the
operation of a retirement or sinking fund, and, if so, the extent to and the
manner in which any such retirement or sinking fund shall be applied to the
purchase or redemption of the shares of such series for retirement or other
corporate purposes and the terms and provisions relating to the operation
thereof;

            (g) whether the shares of such series shall be convertible into, or
exchangeable for, shares of stock of any other class or any other series of
Preferred Stock or any other securities, and, if so, the price or prices or the
rate or rates of conversion or exchange and the method, if any, or adjusting
the same, and any other terms and conditions of conversion or exchange;

            (h) the limitations and restrictions, if any, to be effective while
any shares of such series are outstanding upon the payment of dividends or the
making of other distributions on, and upon the purchase, redemption or other
acquisition by the Corporation of, the Common Stock or shares of stock of any
other class or any other series of Preferred Stock;

            (i) the conditions or restrictions, if any, upon the creation of

Stock or of any other class;

            (j) any other powers, preferences and relative, participating,
optional and other special rights, and any qualifications, limitations and
restrictions, thereof.

            The powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and
other special rights of each such series of Preferred Stock, and the
qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, if any, may differ from
those of any and all other series any time outstanding. All shares of any one
series of Preferred Stock shall be identical in all respects with all other
shares of such series, except that shares of any one series issued at different
times may differ as to the dates from which dividends thereof shall be
cumulative.

            2. Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.

            Section 1. Designation, Amount and Par Value. The series of
preferred stock shall be designated as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and
the number of shares so designated shall be 2,000 (which shall not be subject
to increase without the consent of the holders of the Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock (each, a "Holder" and collectively, the "Holders"). Each share
of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall have a par value of $.01 and a
stated value of $1,000 (the "Stated Value").

            Section 2. Voting Rights. Except as otherwise provided herein and
as otherwise required by law, the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall
have no voting rights. However, so long as any shares of Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock are outstanding, the 

                                     - 3 -
<PAGE>

Corporation shall not, without the affirmative vote of the Holders of all of
the shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding, alter
or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock.

            Section 3. Liquidation. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary (a
"Liquidation"), the Holders shall, before any distribution or payment shall be
made to the holders of any Junior Securities, be entitled to receive out of the
assets of the Corporation, whether such assets are capital or surplus, for each
share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock an amount equal to the sum of (a)
$1.00, and (b) the amount which, assuming full conversion of the Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock and after taking into account the distribution
pursuant to clause (a), would be distributable to the holders of the Common
Stock into which such share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is then
convertible, and if the assets of the Corporation shall be insufficient to pay
in full such amounts, then the entire assets to be distributed to the Holders
shall be distributed among the Holders ratably in accordance with the
respective amounts that would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable
thereon were paid in full. A sale, conveyance or disposition of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Corporation or the effectuation by the
Corporation of a transaction or series of related transactions in which more
than 33% of the voting power of the Corporation is disposed of, or a
consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation
or corporations shall not be treated as a Liquidation, but instead shall be
subject to the provisions of Section 4. The Corporation shall mail written
notice of any such Liquidation, not less than 45 days prior to the payment date
stated therein, to each record Holder.

            Section 4. Conversion.

            (a)(i) Conversions at Option of Holder. Each share of Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock
(subject to the limitations set forth in Section 4(a)(iv) hereof) at the
Conversion Ratio (as defined in Section 6) at the option of the Holder, at any
time and from time to time, from and after the Original Issue Date. Holders
shall effect conversions by surrendering the certificate or certificates
representing the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to be converted
to the Corporation, together with the form of conversion notice attached hereto
as Exhibit A (a "Holder Conversion Notice"). Each Holder Conversion Notice
shall specify the number of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to
be converted and the date on which such conversion is to be effected, which
date may not be prior to the date the Holder delivers such Holder Conversion
Notice by facsimile (the "Holder Conversion Date"). If no Holder Conversion
Date is specified in a Holder Conversion Notice, the Holder Conversion Date
shall be the date that the Holder Conversion Notice is deemed delivered
hereunder. If the Holder is converting less than all shares of Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock represented by the certificate or certificates
tendered by the Holder with the Holder Conversion Notice, or if a conversion
hereunder cannot be effected in full for any reason, the Corporation shall
promptly deliver to such Holder (in the manner and within the time set forth in
Section 4(b)) a certificate representing the number of shares of Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock as have not been converted.

                                     - 4 -
<PAGE>

            (ii) Conversions at the Option of the Corporation. Subject to the
provisions of this paragraph (ii), each share of Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock shall be convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of Common Stock at
the Conversion Ratio at the option of the Corporation (x) at any time and from
time to time on or after December 30, 1999 or (y) prior thereto, at any time
that the closing sales price of the Common Stock, as reported on NASDAQ, for
any fifteen (15) consecutive Trading Days ending no later than five (5) Trading
Days prior to the date of the Corporation Conversion Notice (as defined below)
has exceeded the Conversion Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Corporation shall not be permitted to deliver requests for the conversion of
shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock if there are not sufficient
shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved for issuance upon such
conversion. The Corporation shall exercise its right to require conversions by
delivering to the Holder the form of conversion notice attached hereto as
Exhibit B (a "Corporation Conversion Notice"). Each Corporation Conversion
Notice shall specify the number of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock to be converted and the date on which such conversion is to be effected,
which date may not be prior to the date such Corporation Conversion Notice is
deemed to have been delivered hereunder (a "Corporation Conversion Date"). If
no Corporation Conversion Date is specified in a Corporation Conversion Notice,
the Corporation Conversion Date shall be the date that such Corporation
Conversion Notice is deemed delivered hereunder. Subject to Section 4(b)
hereof, each Corporation Conversion Notice, once given, shall be irrevocable. A
Holder Conversion Date, a Corporation Conversion Date and the date that a
conversion under Section 4(a)(iii) is required are each sometimes referred to
herein as the "Conversion Date" and a Holder Conversion Notice and a
Corporation Conversion Notice are sometimes referred to as a "Conversion
Notice." Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a
conversion pursuant to this paragraph (ii) shall not be subject to the
provisions of Section 4(a)(iv)(A).

            (iii) Automatic Conversion. Subject to the provisions in this
paragraph (iii), all outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
for which conversion notices have not previously been received or for which
redemption has not been made or required hereunder shall be automatically
converted on the third anniversary of the Original Issue Date at the Conversion
Price on such date. The conversion contemplated by this paragraph shall not
occur if (a) neither (1) an Underlying Securities Registration Statement is
then effective nor (2) the Holder is permitted to resell Underlying Shares
pursuant to Rule 144(k) promulgated under the Securities Act, without volume
restrictions, as evidenced by an opinion letter of counsel acceptable to the
Holder and the transfer agent for the Common Stock; (b) there are not
sufficient shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved for issuance upon
such conversion; or (c) the Corporation shall have defaulted on its covenants
and obligations hereunder or under the Exchange Agreement, the Purchase
Agreement or Registration Rights Agreement. Any days after the date that the
Underlying Securities Registration Statement is declared effective by the
Commission for which the Holder is not permitted to resell Underlying Shares
thereunder shall be added to the days before which the conversion under this
paragraph shall be triggered. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, a conversion pursuant to this paragraph (iii) shall not be
subject to the provisions of Section 4(a)(iv)(A).

            (iv) Certain Conversion Restrictions.

            (A) The Holder agrees not to convert shares of Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock to the extent such conversion would result in the Holder
beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the
Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) in excess of 4.999% of the then issued
and outstanding shares of Common Stock, including shares issuable upon
conversion of the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock held by such
Holder after application of this Section. The Holder shall have the sole
authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in this
Section applies and, to the extent that the Holder determines that the
limitation contained in this Section applies, the determination of which shares
of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are convertible shall be in the sole
discretion of the Holder. The provisions of this Section may be waived by a
Holder (but only as to itself and not to any other Holder) upon not less than
75 days prior notice to the Corporation. Other Holders shall be unaffected by
any such waiver.

            (B) The Holder agrees not to convert shares of Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock to the extent such conversion would result in the Holder
beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the
Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) in excess of 9.999% of the then issued
and outstanding shares of Common Stock, including shares issuable upon
conversion of the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock held by such
Holder after application of this Section. The Holder shall have the sole
authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in this
Section applies and, to the extent that the Holder determines that the
limitation contained in this Section applies, the determination of which shares
of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are convertible shall be in the sole
discretion of the Holder. The provisions of this Section may be waived by a
Holder (but only as to itself and not to any other Holder) upon not less than
75 days prior notice to the Corporation. Other Holders shall be unaffected by
any such waiver.

            (b) Not later than three (3) Trading Days after a Conversion Date,
the Corporation will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder (i) a
certificate or certificates which shall be free of restrictive legends and
trading restrictions (other than those required by Section 3.1(b) of the
Purchase Agreement) representing the number of shares of the Common Stock being
acquired upon the conversion of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock,
and (ii) one or more certificates representing the number of shares of Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock not converted, provided, however, that the
Corporation shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares
of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the shares of Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock until certificates evidencing the shares of Series
B Convertible Preferred Stock are delivered for conversion to the Corporation
or the Holder notifies the Corporation that such certificates have been
mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed and provides a bond (or other adequate
security) reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation to indemnify the
Corporation from any loss incurred by it in connection therewith. If such
certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as directed by the Holder
by the third (3rd) Trading Day after the later of a Conversion Date or the date
of compliance with the delivery

                                     - 6 -
<PAGE>

requirements contained in the proviso of the preceding sentence, the Holder
shall be entitled by written notice to the Corporation at any time on or before
its receipt of such certificate or certificates thereafter, to rescind such
conversion (whether subject to a Conversion Notice or a conversion pursuant to
Section 4(a)(iii)), in which event the Corporation shall immediately return the
certificates evidencing the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
tendered for conversion.

            (c)(i) The conversion price for each share of Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock in effect on any Conversion Date shall be $10.088 (the
"Conversion Price").

            (ii) If the Corporation, at any time while any shares of Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock are outstanding, shall (a) pay a stock dividend or
otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of its Junior
Securities or pari passu securities payable in shares of Common Stock, (b)
subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares,
(c) combine outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares,
or (d) issue by reclassification and exchange of the Common Stock any shares of
capital stock of the Corporation, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied
by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding before such event and of which the denominator shall be the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after such event. Any adjustment
made pursuant to this Section 4(c)(ii) shall become effective immediately after
the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the
effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

            (iii) If the Corporation, at any time while any shares of Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock are outstanding, shall issue rights, warrants or
options to all holders of Common Stock (and not to Holders) entitling them to
subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than
the Per Share Market Value at the record date mentioned below, then the
Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which
shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to
the issuance of such rights, warrants or options, plus the number of shares of
Common Stock which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares
so offered would purchase at such Per Share Market Value, and the denominator
of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to such issuance plus the number of shares of Common Stock
offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall be made whenever
such rights or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately
after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive
such rights or warrants. However, upon the expiration of any right, warrant or
option to purchase shares of Common Stock the issuance of which resulted in an
adjustment in the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 4(c)(iii), if any
such right, warrant or option shall expire and shall not have been exercised,
the Conversion Price shall immediately upon such expiration shall be recomputed
and effective immediately upon such expiration shall be increased to the price
which it would have been (but reflecting any other adjustments in the
Conversion Price made pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4 upon the

                                     - 7 -
<PAGE>

issuance of other rights or warrants) had the adjustment of the Conversion
Price made upon the issuance of such rights, warrants, or options been made on
the basis of offering for subscription or purchase only that number of shares
of Common Stock actually purchased upon the exercise of such rights, warrants
or options actually exercised.

            (iv) If the Corporation, at any time while shares of Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock are outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of
Common Stock (and not to Holders) evidences of its indebtedness or assets or
rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security (excluding those
referred to in Sections 4(c)(ii)-(iv) above), then in each such case the
Conversion Price at which each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
shall thereafter be convertible shall be determined by multiplying the
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a
fraction of which the denominator shall be the Per Share Market Value
determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator
shall be such Per Share Market Value on such record date less the then fair
market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of
indebtedness so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of Common Stock
as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith; provided, however, that
in the event of a distribution exceeding ten percent (10%) of the net assets of
the Corporation, if the Holders of a majority in interest of the Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock dispute such valuation, such fair market value
shall be determined by a nationally recognized or major regional investment
banking firm or firm of independent certified public accountants of recognized
standing (which may be the firm that regularly examines the financial
statements of the Corporation) (an "Appraiser") selected in good faith by the
Holders of a majority in interest of the shares of Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock then outstanding; and provided, further, that the Corporation,

to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not

notice. Holders are entitled to convert shares of Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock during the 20-day period commencing the date of such notice to
the effective date of the event triggering such notice.

            (d) The Corporation covenants that it will at all times reserve and
keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock solely
for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock, as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual
contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holders, not less than
such number of shares of Common Stock as shall (subject to any additional
requirements of the Corporation as to reservation of such shares set forth in
the Purchase Agreement) be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and
restrictions of Section 4(c)) upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. The Corporation covenants that all shares
of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly and
validly authorized, issued and fully paid, nonassessable and freely tradeable,

Agreement.

required to issue stock certificates representing fractions of shares of Common
Stock, but may if otherwise permitted, make a cash payment in respect of any
final fraction of a share based on the Per Share Market Value at such time. If
the Corporation elects not, or is unable, to make such a cash payment, the
Holder of a share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to
receive, in lieu of the final fraction of a share, one whole share of Common
Stock.

            (f) The issuance of certificates for Common Stock on conversion of
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to the
Holders thereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable
in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificate, provided that the

of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate
upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder of such shares of
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock so converted.

            (g) Shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock converted into
Common Stock or redeemed in accordance with the terms hereof shall be canceled
and may not be reissued.

            (h) Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be
provided by the Holders, including, without limitation, any Conversion Notice,

interest is paid in full. In addition, if any portion of the Optional
Redemption Price remains unpaid after the date due, the Holder of the Series B

thereof, has not been paid in full (the "Unpaid Redemption Shares"), in which

Days from receipt of Holder's notice of such election, return to the Holder all
of the Unpaid Redemption Shares.

product of (A) the number of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to
be redeemed and (B) the product of (1) the average Per Share Market Value for
