ITEM 5.     OTHER EVENTS
            ------------
 
      On December 16, 1996, the Company  completed the acquisition of all of the
capital stock of NETTouch Communications,  Inc., Dallas, Texas ("NETTouch").  In
consideration   for  the   acquisition,   the  Company  paid  to  the  principal
shareholders of NETTouch,  $2,400,000 and issued a Common Stock Purchase Warrant
(the "Warrants") to acquire shares of Common Stock of the Company on or prior to
December 31, 2000 at an exercise price of $7.75 per share.  The actual number of
Warrants  to be  received is  predicated  on the level of revenues  periodically
obtained by NETTouch during the 1997 calendar year. The principal shareholder of
NETTouch was  Telecommunications  Resources,  Inc. ("TRI") also from Dallas, TX.
TRI is a software developer and provider of  telecommunications  platforms which
converge  technologies  and  telecommunications   services,  such  as  worldwide
long-distance,   voice  mail,  virtual  fax,  travel  card,  wireless  messaging
notification,   enhanced  "follow  me"  features,  conference  calling,  paging,
internet  access,  text-to- screen e-mail,  website  development and hosting and
more into a convenience of single  1-800/888  numbers.  These services allow the
user a  variety  of office  services  through  one  telephone  number.  NETTouch
currently  markets these bundled  services under the brand name "N'Touch." Under
the acquisition agreement,  N'Touch as a wholly-owned  subsidiary of the Company
will receive  licensing  rights to market TRI's future  products and services to
the home-  based  business  segment,  which  management  believes  is one of the
fastest growing segments in our society.

      On December 9, 1996,  the Company  entered into a Note Purchase  Agreement
and Registration  Rights  Agreements  pursuant to which it issued its Promissory
Note (the "Note") in the amount of  $8,000,000  to GFL  Advantage  Fund Limited,
Curacao,   Netherlands   Antilles  ("GFL"),   and  received  gross  proceeds  of
$8,000,000.  The Note matures on December 9, 1998 and bears interest at the rate
of 7 percent per annum payable quarterly  commencing  February 1, 1997. The Note
may be  prepaid  prior to  maturity  without  penalty  or  premium.  Payment  of
principal  and interest may be paid in Common Stock of the Company under certain
conditions.

      GFL has the right at any time  commencing  on the earlier of March 7, 1997
or the effective date of the Company's  registration statement to be filed under
the  Securities  Act of 1933 to convert the  principal  amount and interest into
Common Stock of the Company into  increments of $50,000 or more, by the lower of
(i) 75% of the applicable  closing price of the Company's  Common Stock prior to
conversion or (ii) $8.10.  Such  percentage is subject to reduction in the event
the  Company  is unable to comply  with  specified  requirements  regarding  the
registration  of the  underlying  Common Stock under the  Securities Act of 1933











                                     2

within the specified time period. The Company paid a finder's fee of $560,000 to
Wharton Capital Partners, Ltd. in connection with this transaction. The proceeds
of this financing were utilized in substantial  part to complete the acquisition
of NETTouch Communications, Inc., which was consummated on December 16, 1996.

will retain such Preferred  Stock or roll-over or exchange such Preferred  Stock
for alternative  Preferred Stock Series providing  similar or revised terms. The
Company may in some circumstances,  as determined by management,  redeem various
Preferred Stock Series in accordance  with the terms of such series.  All of the
purchasers  will be  required to submit a separate  opinion of counsel  prior to
