ITEM 5.   OTHER EVENTS

          As  previously   reported,   SA   Telecommunications,   Inc.  and  its
subsidiaries  (collectively,  the  "Company")  filed  petitions for relief under
Chapter 11 of the United States  Bankruptcy Code (the "Bankruptcy  Code") in the
United States  Bankruptcy  Court for the District of Delaware  (the  "Bankruptcy
Court") (Cases No. 97-2395  through  97-2401).  Since that date, the Company has
continued as a debtor-in-possession pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code.

          On May 14, 1999,  the Company  filed a press  release  announcing  the
filing  of its  Chapter  11  Liquidating  Plan  and a  draft  of the  associated
Disclosure Statement. Since that time, as a result of a decrease in the value of
the Company's assets,  the Company has fully ceased operations and no longer has
any  offices.  Accordingly,  on February  16,  2000,  the Company  filed a press
release to provide a status update  regarding its bankruptcy case. A copy of the
February  16, 2000 press  release is  attached  hereto as Exhibit  20.1,  and is
incorporated herein by reference.

          As noted in the press release,  inquiries for  additional  information
can be addressed to either  Albert B. Gordon of Jay Alix & Associates  or Andrew
DeNatale, Esq. of White & Case LLP.
