ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS.

                       Registrant, Tel-Save Holdings, Inc. ("Tel-Save"),
previously reported that it had proposed to ACC Corp. ("ACC") (NASDAQ: ACCC) for
its  consideration a merger  transaction  between Tel-Save and ACC, in which ACC
would be  acquired  by  Tel-Save  and ACC's  stockholders  would  receive $50 in
Tel-Save  Common  Stock in exchange  for each share of ACC common  stock.  As of
August 1, 1997, there were approximately 16.8 million shares of ACC common stock
reported to be outstanding.

                       On November 6, 1997, ACC reported that, at a meeting
of its  board of  directors  on such  date,  "ACC had  initiated  a review of an
unsolicited  merger  proposal  from  [Tel-Save]  as well as  other  alternatives
available  to  [ACC]"  and  that  the ACC  board of  directors  "has  instructed
management and its advisors,  Morgan Stanley, to meet with Tel-Save in order for
the board to develop a better  understanding of the Tel-Save proposal and assess
its implications for shareholders of ACC."

                       Tel-Save subsequently announced that it intends to
commence  negotiations with ACC with respect to a potential merger  transaction.
Tel-Save  also stated that it does not intend to make any further  announcements
regarding any such potential  merger  transaction  until it has either reached a
definitive  agreement  with ACC or it has  decided  not to  proceed  with such a
transaction.

                       Any such transaction between Tel-Save and ACC is
subject,  among other things,  to the  satisfactory  completion of due diligence
reviews, the negotiation of a mutually satisfactory agreement,  approval thereof
by  the  companies'  respective  boards  of  directors,  the  transaction  being
accounted for as a  pooling-of-interests  transaction,  any necessary regulatory
approvals and any  necessary  stockholder  approvals.  There can be no assurance
that any agreement will be reached or the terms of any such agreement, should it
be reached and approved.
