9278 Communications, Inc. (the "Company") is not able to file its
Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2000 on or prior to
March 31, 2001 because a substantial acquisition completed by the Company in
December 2000 and the recent resignation of the Company's Chief Financial

If so: attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both

reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
It is anticipated that the Company will have a significant net loss for
2000, approximating $3,000,000, based upon the Company's recognition of
significant expense for certain non-cash compensation to third parties and the
recognition of significant expenses due to write-offs of goodwill and other
non-operating expenses, substantially all of which are expected to be
non-recurring.
