          ITEM 5.   OTHER EVENTS.

                    On October 12, 1995, a hearing was held in the
          matter of Maxcell Telecom Plus, Inc., vs. McCaw Cellular
          Communications, et. al. (No. CL 93-9130 AJ) in the
          Circuit Court of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit in and
          for Palm Beach County, Florida on a motion brought by
          former shareholders of defendant Charisma Communications
          Corporation ("Charisma").  The motion sought the court's
          permission to amend the Charisma defendants' answer to
          the complaint to add, among other things, counterclaims
          and third-party claims alleging breach of fiduciary duty,
          breach of contract, fraud and tortious interference with
          business relationships against plaintiff Maxcell Telecom
          Plus, Inc. ("Maxcell"), TPI Enterprises, Inc. (the
          "Company") and Stephen R. Cohen, Maxcell's Chairman and
          CEO and the Company's former Chairman.  In the motion,
          the Charisma defendants claim they have suffered damages
          in excess of $1 billion.  Maxcell is vigorously opposing
          the motion and the court has not yet ruled on it.  The
          court has scheduled a further hearing on this matter for
          November 17, 1995.
