ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS.

A. As previously announced, Intelect Communications, Inc. (the "Company")
completed an $18 million private placement of 7.2 million shares of common stock
and warrants to purchase 3.6 million additional shares. Proceeds to the Company,
after costs and commissions, amounted to approximately $16.9 million. Stonegate
Securities, Inc. ("Stonegate"), which acted as placement agent for the
transaction, received warrants to purchase 720,000 shares of common stock.
Stonegate also received warrants to purchase 250,000 shares for investment
banking services.

The warrants issued in the private placement and to Stonegate for its placement
agent services have a term of three years and an exercise price of $2.50 per
share. If the 20 day average closing bid price for the Company's common stock as
of the six month anniversary of the closing is less than $2.50 per share, the
exercise price will be reset to that average price. The warrants issued to
Stonegate for investment banking services have a five year term and an exercise
price of $1.00 per share. As a part of the transactions Intelect has granted
certain registration rights to the investors and Stonegate.

B. The Company also announced that it has entered into a definitive Settlement
Agreement and Mutual Release ("Settlement Agreement") with Richard Dzanski which
will effect the dismissal of a lawsuit filed by Mr. Dzanski against the Company
and its wholly owned subsidiary, Intelect Network Technologies Company ("INT"),
in the K-192nd District Court of Dallas County, Texas, Cause No. DV98-08366.
Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company issued in a private placement
to Mr. Dzanski 350,000 shares of common stock and agreed to allow Mr. Dzanski a
2% royalty on all revenues recognized by the Company or INT, on a consolidated
basis, arising from SONETLYNX, OMNILYNX and related products, up to a maximum of
$1 million. The royalty period is from January 1, 2000 until March 31, 2001. The
royalties are not required to be paid until collected. The Company granted to
Mr. Dzanski certain registration right with respect to the shares issued to him.
