Item 5.  Other Events

         On October 6, 1998,  Coast  Business  Credit,  a division  of  Southern
Pacific Bank ("Coast"), funded five million dollars ($5,000,000.00) of a fifteen
million dollar  ($15,000,000.00)  asset based loan facility (the "Facility") for
the   subsidiaries   of   VIALOG    Corporation    ("VIALOG")--Kendall    Square
Teleconferencing,   Inc.,  Conference  Source  International,   Inc.,  Telephone
Business Meetings,  Inc., Call Points, Inc., American Conferencing Company, Inc.
and Communication Development Corporation (collectively,  the "Borrowers").  The
Facility was  guaranteed by VIALOG.  All assets of the Borrowers were pledged to
Coast as security for the Facility and VIALOG's  obligations  under its guaranty
were secured by a lien on all of its assets,  excluding its ownership  interests
in the  Borrowers.  The maturity  date of the  Facility,  if not extended by the
parties,  is October 6, 2000 at which time all  obligations to Coast will be due
and payable. Termination of the Facility prior to the maturity date will require
the payment of significant early termination fees (i.e. $450,000.00 on or before
October 6, 1999 and $300,000.00  thereafter but before the maturity  date).  The
Facility  has  three  components:  (1) a  receivables  loan  of up to 80% of the
Borrowers'  eligible  receivables,  (2) a term loan in the  principal  amount of
$1,500,000.00,  and (3) an equipment  acquisition  term loan of up to 80% of the
purchase  price of new and  used  equipment  not to  exceed  $4,000,000.00.  The
Facility  is  available  to  provide  liquidity,  fund  future  working  capital
requirements,  fund the purchase of equipment  and finance  future  acquisitions
consistent with VIALOG's business strategy.
