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.
TCI Communications, Inc. believes the claims asserted against it and the
other TCI Defendants are without merit and intends to defend such claims
vigorously.
