UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


            LITIGATION RELEASE NO. 15850 / August 17, 1998

            SECURITIES  AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION V. CERTAIN UNIT INVESTMENT TRUSTS, ET.AL.,
            CASE NO. 98-1644-CIV-T-23-F (M.D. Fla.)

                  The Securities  and Exchange Commission ("SEC") announced that on August
            11, 1998, the Honorable  Steven  D. Merryday, United States District Judge for
            the Middle District of Florida, entered  a  Temporary  Restraining  Order  and
            Other  Relief  ("Order")  against  defendants  Certain  Unit Investment Trusts
            ("Trusts"), Inside Edge Communications Southeast, Inc. ("Southeast"),  Holding
            International  Corp. ("Holding Int'l"), Derek Bartsch ("Bartsch"), and Burnell
            Hoekstra  ("Hoekstra"),   halting   their  sale  of  fraudulent,  unregistered
            securities through what the SEC alleges  to  be  a boiler-room operation.  The
            Order restrains the defendants from violating the  registration and anti-fraud
            provisions  of  the federal securities laws, namely Sections  5(a),  5(c)  and
            17(a) of the Securities  Act  of  1933 ("Securities Act") and Section 10(b) of
            the  Securities  Exchange  Act  of  1934  ("Exchange  Act")  and  Rule  10b-5,
            thereunder.   The  Order  also restrains  Holding  Int'l  from  acting  as  an
            unregistered broker-dealer in violation Section 15(a) of the Exchange Act.

                  On August 11, 1998, the Commission filed a complaint against the Trusts,
            Southeast, Holding Int'l, Bartsch,  and  Hoekstra  seeking  emergency  relief.
            That  same  day, the Court entered the Order, which also froze the defendants'
            assets.  The  Court also appointed a receiver, who immediately secured Holding
            Int'l's premises  and  is now in possession of Holding Int'l's offices and its
            books and records.

                  According  to  the  SEC's   complaint,   the  defendants  made  material
            misrepresentations and omissions in connection with their sale of $2.5 million
            in "units" to the investing public.  The defendants  represented  to investors
            that  the  funds  raised through these offerings would be used to establish  a
            prepaid telephone service  for  the  "credit  impaired," i.e., individuals and
            businesses with poor or no credit histories.  In  the  complaint, the SEC also
            alleges  that  the  defendants  represented  to  investors  that  the  prepaid
            telephone service had entered into a joint venture or service agreement with a
            California-based  telecommunications company, Uni-Net, Inc. ("Uni-Net").   The
            SEC's complaint alleges  that,  in  fact, there is no joint venture or service
            agreement with Uni-Net.  In addition,  the complaint alleges that the offering
            materials  sent  to  investors  contained  financial  projections,  which  are
            baseless in the absence of a joint venture or  service agreement with Uni-Net.
            The SEC complaint also alleges that the defendants,  unbeknownst to investors,
            intended to keep 70% to 85% of the funds raised from as commissions, fees, and
            costs.   The SEC's complaint  further alleges, among other  things,  that  the
            defendants  lied  about the background and experience of those associated with
            the offerings.

                  In addition to  preliminary  and permanent injunctions, the SEC's action
            also seeks disgorgement of ill-gotten profits against the defendants and money
            penalties against Bartsch and Hoekstra.

                  Named as relief defendants in the Commission's lawsuit are Capital Asset
            Allocators,  Inc.,  The  Inside Edge Communications,  Inc.,  The  Inside  Edge
            Nationwide, Inc., and Trinity Alliance, Inc.
