Due to unanticipated financial constraints, the Registrant has been

enabled the Registrant to timely file its annual report on Form 10-KSB.

On September 30, 1998, the Registrant completed an acquisition of Bright
Now, Inc. and Southern Paper and Converters, Inc. in transactions which
qualify for treatment as poolings for purposes of generally accepted
accounting principles. The Registrant believes that the poolings will
increase the Registrant's consolidated revenues for the year ended
September 30, 1998 in excess of approximately $1,000,000. However,
Registrant anticipates reporting a consolidated loss for the period.
Chronicle Communications, Inc. has caused this notification to be signed
on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
