Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

                  On March 10, 1998, Moonlight Acquisition Corp. ("Moonlight"),
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Intermedia Communications Inc. ("Intermedia"),
effected a merger (the "Merger") with and into Shared Technologies Fairchild
Inc. ("STFI") as the final step in its acquisition of STFI. Pursuant to the
terms of that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of November 20, 1997
between Intermedia, Moonlight and STFI, all issued and outstanding shares of
STFI common stock and Series D Preferred Stock (other than shares owned by
Intermedia, Moonlight or any of their subsidiaries, shares held in the treasury
of STFI or shares for which appraisal rights have been perfected) were converted
into the right to receive $15.00 in cash without interest. The total amount of
funds required by Intermedia and Moonlight to effect the Merger and acquire STFI
and to pay related fees and expenses was approximately $640 million. The
acquisition price was funded through Intermedia's existing cash reserves.

                  STFI is the nation's largest provider of shared
telecommunications services and systems. Through its technical infrastructure
and 800 employees, STFI acts as a single point of contact for business
telecommunications services at more than 465 buildings throughout the United
States and Canada.

                  As a result of the Merger, STFI will be operated as a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Intermedia, and the separate existence of Moonlight
has ceased. Intermedia intends to continue operating STFI's assets as a provider
of shared telecommunications services and systems.

Item 7.  Financial Statements and Exhibits

                  Financial statements with respect to the acquisition of STFI
will be filed within 60 days after the date that this current report must be
filed.
