Item 5. Other Events.

Effective January 7, 1997, ILX Incorporated ("ILX") and Texas Capital Securities
("TCS") entered into a Letter Agreement  regarding  financial  advisory services
(the "TCS Letter Agreement") and an Option Agreement  regarding options on up to
500,000 shares of ILX common stock (the "TCS Option Agreement").  The TCS Letter
Agreement and the TCS Option  Agreement are dated as of January 7, 1997 and were
executed  January  27,  1997.  Under the TCS Letter  Agreement,  ILX granted TCS
options to acquire  500,000  shares of ILX's  common  stock  pursuant to the TCS
Option  Agreement.  The TCS Option Agreement  provides that TCS receives options
for up to 250,000  shares of ILX's common stock  exercisable at a price of $1.25
per share on or before June 30, 1997 (the "First Option").  If TCS exercises the
First Option in full prior to its expiration  date, TCS may exercise options for
up to 125,000  shares of ILX's common stock  exercisable at a price of $1.75 per
share on or  before  September  30,  1997  (the  "Second  Option").  If TCS then
exercises  the  Second  Option in full  prior to its  expiration  date,  TCS may
exercise options for up to 125,000 shares of ILX's common stock exercisable at a
price of $2.00 per share on or before December 15, 1997 (the "Third Option"). At
ILX's election, the term of the Third Option will be extended to the extent that
ILX extends the term of the TCS Letter Agreement.

Effective  January 1, 1997, ILX and Investor  Resource  Services,  Inc.  ("IRS")
entered  into a  Consulting  Agreement  pursuant  to which IRS agreed to provide
certain investor  relations,  broker relations and public relations  services to
ILX (the "IRS  Consulting  Agreement").  Under  the terms of the IRS  Consulting
Agreement,  IRS received new and extended  options to purchase 500,000 shares of
ILX  common  stock at $1.25 per share (the "IRS  Option  Shares").  The  options
granted in the IRS  Consulting  Agreement  with respect to the IRS Option Shares
expire on June 30, 1997.

On May 2, 1997, ILX and TCS and ILX and IRS executed Assumption  Agreements with
Martori Enterprises  Incorporated  ("MEI"), an affiliate and shareholder of ILX,
under which MEI agreed to assume all of ILX's obligations to issue shares of its
common  stock on the  exercise of the options  held by TCS and IRS under the TCS
Option Agreement and the IRS Consulting Agreement (the "Assumption Agreements").
Copies of the  Assumption  Agreements  are attached as Exhibit 10 hereto and the
