Item 5. Other Events

On April 10, 2001, Registrant entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the
"Agreement") with DataWorld Solutions, Inc., of Farmingdale, New York,
(DataWorld) in which Registrant's subsidiary, Dolphin Acquisition Corp., a
corporation registered in Delaware, will be merged into DataWorld, with
DataWorld becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Registrant.

DataWorld shareholders will exchange 4 shares of DataWorld Common Stock for 1
share of Registrant's Common Stock. Additionally, each issued and outstanding
share of the Company's Series B 8% Convertible Preferred Stock and its $6
Convertible Preferred Stock shall be converted into one share of convertible
preferred stock of Registrant, having substantially identical terms.

Based on the 29,384,000 issued and outstanding shares of DataWorld Common Stock
as of April 9, Registrant would issue 7,246,000 of its Common Stock to DataWorld
shareholders. Accordingly, shareholders of DataWorld would hold 60.45% of the
11,986,947 American Access shares of Common Stock to be issued and outstanding.
This assumes no exercise of outstanding stock options or warrants, no conversion
of any outstanding Preferred Stock, and no exercise of appraisal rights by
DataWorld shareholders.

The Merger is subject to the approval of a majority of Registrant's
shareholders, DataWorld's shareholders and other conditions to closing. A copy
of the Agreement is filed as an exhibit to this report and the description of
its contents in this Item 5 is not complete. Disclosure schedules and other
attachments to the Agreement and Plan of Merger are omitted, but will be
furnished supplementally to the Commission upon request.

On April 9, 2001, Registrant entered into Employment Agreements with John E.
Presley, Erik Wiisanen, and Joseph McGuire, filed as exhibits herein.
