INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT  

Item 3.      Bankruptcy or Receivership                                         

         Equalnet Communications Corp. (the "Registrant") and two of its
subsidiary companies EqualNet Corporation ("EqualNet"), and USC Telecom, Inc.   
("USC Telecom") filed  voluntary petitions for relief under title 11, chapter   
11 of United States Bankruptcy Code on August 9, 2000 (the "Petition Date")     
in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas,       
Houston Division (the "Bankruptcy Court"), Houston, Texas.  The Registrant's    
case is being administered under Case 00-37350-H4-11 and the cases of each of   
EqualNet and USC Telecom are being administered under Cases 00-37351-H4-11      
and 00-37353-H2-11, respectively. On the Petition Date a voluntary petition     
for relief under title 11, chapter 7 of the United States Bankruptcy Code was   
inadvertently filed for Netco Acquisition Corp. ("Netco"), a wholly-owned       
subsidiary of the Registrant in the Bankruptcy Court.  On August 14, 2000, an   
emergency motion was filed by Netco to convert the chapter 7 case to a          
chapter 11 case.  The case of Netco is being administered under                 
Case 00-37355-H2.                                                               

The cases of Registrant, EqualNet and USC Telecom are being jointly             
administered.  The case of Netco is being administered separately as a          
related case. Pursuant to Sections 1107 and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code, the    
Registrant, EqualNet and USC Telecom, as debtors and debtors-in-possession,     
will each continue to manage and operate its assets and business subject to     
the supervision and orders of the Bankruptcy Court.
