       This Statement is the final amendment (the "Final Amendment") to the
Schedule 13D (the "Schedule 13D") dated July 17, 1995, filed by Houston
Industries Incorporated ("Houston Industries") with respect to the common
stock, par value $1.00 per share, of Time Warner Inc., a Delaware corporation
("Issuer").  Prior disclosure in the Schedule 13D inconsistent with this Final
Amendment is hereby superseded.  Unless otherwise defined herein, all
capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Schedule
13D.

       Item 5 is hereby amended by adding the following after the last
paragraph thereof:

       "On October 10, 1996, according to published reports, a wholly owned
subsidiary of TW Inc. ("New Issuer") merged with and into Issuer, Issuer
changed its name to Time Warner Companies Inc., a separate wholly owned
subsidiary of New Issuer merged with and into Turner Broadcasting System, Inc.
and New Issuer changed its name to Time Warner Inc.  As a result of these
transactions, the 23,909,040 shares of TW Common Stock beneficially owned by
Houston Industries on that date were converted into a right to receive an
identical number and substantially identical types of securities of New Issuer.
Due to additional issuances of New Issuer securities pursuant to these
transactions, assuming full conversion of the Series D Convertible Preferred
Stock of New Issuer issuable to Houston Industries pursuant to such
transactions, and based on information contained in documents filed by New
Issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Houston Industries
currently beneficially owns 4.49% of the outstanding common stock, par value
$1.00 per share, of New Issuer ("New Issuer Common Stock").  As a result of
these transactions, Houston Industries ceased to be the beneficial owner of any
TW Common Stock and became the beneficial owner of less than 5% of the New
Issuer Common Stock on October 10, 1996."

undersigned certifies that the information set forth in this statement is true,
complete and correct.
