ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS
         ------------

         On June 19, 2000, Cablevision Systems Corporation ("Cablevision")
commenced an action in the Delaware Court of Chancery to protect its rights
regarding an agreement, dated as of March 28, 2000, among Excite@Home, AT&T
Corp., Comcast Corporation and Cox Communications, Inc. Cablevision sought a
temporary restraining order to prevent consummation of the transactions
contemplated by that agreement.

         On June 22, 2000, Excite@Home, AT&T, Comcast and Cox voluntarily agreed
not to take any action towards consummating their announced transaction,
including the filing of their amended charter, until after resolution of
Cablevision's claims at a trial, which the court has scheduled for September,
2000.

         On June 30, 2000, Excite@Home, AT&T, Comcast and Cox filed answers in
the Delaware Court of Chancery to Cablevision's complaint. In addition,
Excite@Home asserted counterclaims against Cablevision seeking to rescind its
agreements with Cablevision and cancel the Excite@Home warrants owned by
Cablevision. In the alternative, Excite@Home is seeking an award of money
damages and a decree requiring Cablevision to comply with the provisions of its
distribution agreement with Excite@Home.
