Item 5. Other Events.
- ------- -------------
In January of 1995, two securities class action complaints
("Actions") were filed against Interactive Network, Inc. ("Interactive")
and certain of its then current and former officers and directors
(collectively, the "Interactive Defendants") in the United States
District Court for the Northern District of California which sought
unspecified damages for alleged violations of the disclosure requirements
of the federal securities laws. These Actions were filed on behalf of a
class of shareholders that purchased the stock of Interactive during the
period August 15, 1994 through November 22, 1994. Pursuant to an order of
the Court, the Actions were consolidated, and in April 1995, a
Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint captioned In re Interactive
Network, Inc. Securities Litigation ("Consolidated Case") was filed in
the same court which again sought damages against the Interactive
Defendants for violations of the disclosure requirements of the federal
securities laws, which violations allegedly occurred during the period
May 2, 1994 through March 31, 1995. On June 28, 1996, a Third Amended
Consolidated Class Action Complaint was filed in the Consolidated Case
against the Interactive Defendants which also added Tele-Communications,
Inc., TCI Communications, Inc., TCI Development Corporation and Gary
Howard as defendant parties (collectively, the "TCI Defendants"). The
Third Amended Consolidated Class Action Complaint seeks damages against
the Interactive Defendants for violation of disclosure requirements of
the federal securities laws and seeks similar unspecified damages against
the TCI Defendants predicated upon the allegation that they were
"controlling persons" of Interactive at the time that the alleged wrongs
took place. Tele-Communications, Inc. believes the claims asserted
against it and the other TCI Defendants are without merit and intends to
defend such claims vigorously.
