ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS

On January 15, 2002, Group Long Distance, Inc., ("the Company") terminated the
employment of all non-executive employees, due to the inability of the Company
to meet its obligations, including its payroll. The Company is closing its Texas
office effective February 1, 2002. Certain officers of the Company will continue
their employment on a deferred salary basis.

The Company is continuing its efforts to raise capital for future operations.
However, if the Company is unable to raise sufficient capital or sell enough
equity to maintain its limited operations, the Company will not be able to meet
its current obligations, which will likely result in its selling or liquidating
the remaining assets of the Company over the next 30 to 60 days. The Company may
also seek protection under the federal bankruptcy laws.
