Item 5. Other Events.

          Effective  June  2,  1995,  ILX  Incorporated   ("ILX")  entered  into
Consulting   Agreements  with  Investor  Resource  Services,   Inc.,  a  Florida
corporation,  ("IRC") and  Universal  Solutions,  Inc., a Colorado  corporation,
("Universal")  pursuant  to which IRC and  Universal  agreed to provide  certain
investor  relations,  broker relations and public relations services to ILX. The
Consulting Agreements are Exhibits to ILX's Form S-2 Registration  Statement No.
33-61477.  Under the  terms of the  Consulting  Agreements,  as  amended  in the
related  Option  Agreements  (which are  attached  as Exhibits to ILX's Form S-3
Registration  Statement No. 333-03151),  each of IRC and Universal received from
ILX a total of 50,000 shares of ILX Common Stock (the  "Shares") plus options to
purchase an  additional  250,000  shares of ILX Common  Stock at $1.25 per share
(the "Option  Shares").  ILX agreed that the Shares and the Option Shares may be
registered pursuant to the terms of the Consulting Agreements.

         The term of the Option  Agreements  originally was to terminate 30 days
after the effective date of any registration described under section 7(b) of the
Consulting  Agreements (a  "Registration")  or June 1, 1997,  whichever occurred
first.  Pursuant  to a  letter  agreement  dated  June  10,  1996  (the  "Letter
Agreement"),  a copy of which was attached as Exhibit A to ILX's Current  Report
dated  June 14,  1996 on Form 8-K,  ILX  agreed to extend the term of the Option
Agreements  so that those Option  Agreements  would  terminate 90 days after the
effective  date of any  such  Registration  or June 1,  1997,  whichever  occurs
earlier. Pursuant to a letter agreement dated August 5, 1996 (the "Second Letter
Agreement"),  a copy of which is  attached  as  Exhibit A hereto,  ILX agreed to
extend the term of the Option  Agreements so that those Option  Agreements would
terminate 120 days after the effective date of any such  Registration or June 1,
1997,  whichever  occurs earlier.  In consideration  for the extension,  IRC and
Universal  agreed to exercise,  collectively  and on or before  August 15, 1996,
options for 100,000 of the Option Shares at a price of $1.25 per Option Share.

         The  above  descriptions  of  the  Consulting  Agreements,  the  Option
Agreements,  the Letter  Agreement and the Second Letter Agreement are qualified
in  their  entirety  by  reference  to the  Consulting  Agreements,  the  Option
Agreements, the Letter Agreement and the Second Letter Agreement.
