ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
As previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K, on January 19,
1999, SmarTalk TeleServices, Inc. and certain of its non-foreign subsidiaries
(collectively, the "Company") filed a voluntary petition 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
Nos. 99-108 to 99-127).
Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2015 and the United States Trustee's Operating
Guidelines and Reporting Requirements for Chapter 11 cases, on December 15, 1999
the Company filed its Monthly Operating Report for the period of October 1,
1999 through October 31, 1999 (the "October MOR") with the Office of the
United States Trustee - Region 3 and the Bankruptcy Court.
A copy of the October MOR is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, and

ITEM 7. EXHIBITS
Exhibit No. Description
- ---------- -----------
99.1 Monthly Operating Report for the period of October 1, 1999
through October 31, 1999
The Exhibit to this Report contains forward-looking statements. The words,
"believe," "expect," and "anticipate" and similar expressions identify such
forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect the
Company's views with respect to future events and financial performance. In
particular, SmarTalk is in the preliminary stages of evaluating the potential
recoveries for creditors based on the assets of the bankruptcy estate, and any
formal liquidation analysis would be premature at this time. Readers are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which
speak only as of their dates. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly
update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise (other than updates that are consistent
with the Debtor's obligations to file monthly operating reports).
-------------------
/1/ The attachments and exhibits referenced in the October MOR are not
attached as part of Exhibit 99.1, but are available at the Office of the United
States Trustee and the Bankruptcy Court. In addition, the Company agrees that it
will furnish a copy of any omitted schedule or similar attachment to the
Commission upon its request.
