ITEM 5.           OTHER EVENTS.

On June 7, 2000, World Access, Inc. ("World Access") and STAR
Telecommunications, Inc. ("STAR") entered into a First Amendment to Agreement
and Plan of Merger pursuant to which they amended their merger agreement in
order to accommodate STAR's contract for the sale of its subsidiary, PT-1
Communications, Inc. ("PT-1"), to Counsel Communications LLC ("Counsel"). Under
the merger agreement, the merger is subject to, among other things, the
divestiture by STAR of PT-1 for minimum net cash proceeds of $150 million. Under
the amended agreement, the required minimum net cash proceeds from the sale of
PT-1 to Counsel has been reduced from $150 million to $120 million.

Further, under the amended merger agreement, each STAR stockholder will receive
0.3866 shares of World Access stock for each share of STAR stock. This
represents a reduction from the original exchange ratio of 0.3905. As with the
prior agreement, World Access retains the right to pay up to 40% of the merger
consideration in cash.
