ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS.

         On May 22, 2001, FastComm Communications Corp. ("Company") completed a
sale of $3,000,000 of its Convertible Subordinated Secured Debentures (the
"Debentures") to Wesley Clover Corporation, a Canadian Corporation (the
"Purchaser"). The sale was made pursuant to a Debenture Purchase and Security
Agreement, also dated as of May 22, 2001 (the "Debenture Purchase Agreement").

         The principal and accrued interest of the Debentures are convertible,
at any time into fully paid and non assessable shares of the Company's common
stock at a conversion price of $.446 per share, subject to adjustment in the
event of a stock dividend, stock split, combination, reclassification or other
similar event. Principal disbursements of the debenture are to be made in three
tranches. The debentures bear interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per
annum. The obligations of the Company under Debentures are secured by a security
interest in the assets of the Company, which is expressly prior and subordinate
to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company. Senior
Indebtedness is defined to mean the principal of and premium if any, and
interest on all indebtedness of the Company under the existing financing
agreement with Alliance Capital Corporation and its successors and assigns and
any other indebtedness of the Company, which the Company and the Purchaser
specifically agree in writing, shall constitute Senior Indebtedness.

         In connection with the sale of the Debentures, the Purchaser was
granted the right, but not the obligation to designate one member to the
Company's board of directors, who shall also be nominated to chair the Audit
Committee. In addition, the Purchaser was issued a warrant (the "Warrant") to
purchase 3,363,229 of the Company's common stock at a price of $.5575 per share
(subject to price adjustment in the event of any stock divide, stock split,
combination, reclassification or other similar event). The Warrants are subject
to the right of call by the Company if, for a period of thirty consecutive
trading days prior to a notice of call, the closing price of the common stock is
equal to a greater than $1.12 per share (as adjusted) and no event of default
has occurred under the Debenture Purchase Agreement.

         The Debenture Purchase Agreement contains provisions granting to the
Purchaser, certain registration rights, pursuant to which the Company agreed to
provide certain registration rights to the holders of the Debentures and the
Warrants under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder, and applicable state securities laws.
