Item 5. Other Events

         On May 2, 1997,  Texas  Equipment  Co.,  Inc.,  Paul J. Condit II, John
Condit and Jeffrey  Condit filed an Original  Petition in the District  Court of
Gaines  County,  Texas  against  Jonathan  Braun,  Charles  Platkin  and Michael
Killman.  On September 17, 1996, Texas Equipment Co., Inc.,  whose  stockholders
were formerly Paul J. Condit II, John Condit and Jeffrey Condit,  entered into a
stock swap with  Marinex  Multimedia  Corporation,  a Nevada  corporation  which
subsequently changed its name to Texas Equipment Corporation.  Jonathan Braun is
a  director  of Texas  Equipment  Corporation  and  Charles  Platkin is a former
director.  Both are  presently  directors  and  officers  of Marinex  Multimedia
Corporation, a subsidiary of Texas Equipment Corporation.

         The lawsuit  claims that certain  actions of Messrs.  Braun and Platkin
constitute  fraud in the sale of a  security  in  violation  of Texas  law.  The
lawsuit  also  asserts  that  certain  actions  of  Messrs.  Braun  and  Platkin
constituted  fraud,  fraudulent  inducement  to  contract,  statutory  fraud  in
violation  of Texas Law,  and  negligent  misrepresentation.  The lawsuit  seeks
actual  damages,   exemplary  and  punitive  damages,  and  cooperation  in  the
rescission  of the swap of stock  between  Texas  Equipment  Co., Inc. and Texas
Equipment Corporation.

         Also, On May 2, 1997, Texas Equipment Corporation, Texas Equipment Co.,
Inc., among others,  filed an answer in the United States District Court for the
Southern  District  of New York to a lawsuit  filed in March of 1997 by  Messrs.
