ITEM 5.           OTHER EVENTS.

On June 14, 2000, World Access, Inc. ("World Access") entered into a definitive
agreement pursuant to which it agreed to acquire a majority share in TelDaFax AG
("TelDaFax") in a series of transactions. TelDaFax is a leading facilities-based
provider of bundled fixed line, wireless, Internet and e-Commerce services to
business and residential customers in Germany. Pursuant to the terms of the
agreement, World Access has agreed to buy the 33% interest in TelDaFax held by
investment pools advised by Apax Partners & Co. (the "Apax Acquisition") by
issuing World Access common stock at an exchange ratio of 1.025 shares of World
Access for each share of TelDaFax (the "Exchange Ratio"). In addition, World
Access intends to make a tender offer (the "Tender Offer") for all of the
remaining shares of TelDaFax at the Exchange Ratio. World Access also will
contribute certain of its German businesses to TelDaFax in exchange for newly
issued TelDaFax shares (the "Contribution").

The completion of these transactions (the "Transactions") is subject to, among
other things, acquisition by World Access in the Transactions of no less than
50.1% of the fully diluted shares outstanding of TelDaFax on a pro forma basis,
certain regulatory approvals, including antitrust approval in Germany, and the
approval of the shareholders of World Access. The closing of the Apax
Acquisition, the Tender Offer and the Contribution will occur simultaneously.
The Transactions are anticipated to close around the end of the third quarter.
Concurrent with the Transactions, World Access intends to apply for listing on
one or more European stock exchanges, including the Neuer Markt in Germany.
