Item 5.  Other Events

On May 21, 2001, Teligent, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and all
of its domestic subsidiaries, filed voluntary petitions for protection under
Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") in the
United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the
"Bankruptcy Court").

Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2015 and the United States Trustee's Operating
Guidelines and Reporting Requirements for Chapter 11 cases, the Company is
obligated to file monthly operating reports with the Bankruptcy Court. The
Company's unconsolidated, unaudited monthly operating report for the period from
July 1, 2002 to July 31, 2002 (the "Operating Report") is filed as Exhibit 99.1
hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon the information
contained in the Operating Report since it contains unaudited information, and
is in a format prescribed by the applicable bankruptcy laws. There can be no
assurance that the Operating Report is complete. The Operating Report also
contains information for periods that may be shorter or otherwise different from
those contained in the Company's reports pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Moreover, the Operating Report and
other communications from the Company may include forward-looking statements
subject to various assumptions regarding the Company's operating performance
that may not be realized and are subject to significant business, economic and
competitive uncertainties and contingencies many of which are beyond the
Company's control. Consequently such matters should not be regarded as a
representation or warranty by the Company that such matters will be realized or
are indicative of the Company's financial condition or operating results for
future periods. Actual results for such periods may differ materially from the
information contained in the Operating Report and the Company undertakes no
obligation to update or revise the Operating Report.

The Company's working capital for the operation of its business is derived from
cash from operations and borrowings from the lenders under the Credit Agreement,
dated as of July 2, 1998 (the "Prepetition Lenders"), under the terms and
conditions of the Final Order (I) Authorizing the Use of Lenders' Cash
Collateral and (II) Granting Adequate Protection Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Sections
361 and 363 (the "Cash Collateral Order"). The Cash Collateral Order authorizes
the Company to utilize cash pursuant to periodic budgets prepared by the Company
and approved by the Prepetition Lenders in their sole discretion. The current
budget expires on or about August 30, 2002 and a new budget will need to be
approved by the Prepetition Lenders in accordance with the terms of the Cash
Collateral Order. The Cash Collateral Order was originally scheduled to expire
on September 15, 2001, but the parties entered into a stipulation to extend the
Cash Collateral Order to November 15, 2001 or beyond based on the mutual
agreement of the parties. The Cash Collateral Order expires at the end of the
current budget on August 30, 2002 unless a new budget is approved. If the budget
expires without a new budget being approved by the Prepetition Lenders the
Company would lack sufficient liquidity to operate its business as a going
concern.
