         The Registrant's  financial  statements were not completed on or before
the date on which the Registrant's  Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2000
was required to be filed as a result of several factors, including the fact that
certain  information  was not available to complete the annual audit in a timely
manner  as set  forth in more  detail  in the  statement  from the  Registrant's
accountants  attached hereto. The Registrant believes at this time that its Form
10-KSB will be filed within the grace period provided for under Rule 12b-25. See

Mr. Larry Gress
AmeriCom USA, Inc.
825 Buckley Road
San Luis Obispo, California

Dear Mr. Gress:

As you know, the Company  changed  transfer  agents during the year.  Because of
certain  confusion  between  the agents that must have arisen at the time of the
change,  your  prior  transfer  agent  has  not  been  able  to  confirm  to our
satisfaction  certain material capital  transactions  that took place during the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2000. We recognize  the diligent  efforts made by you
and your staff to rectify the problem,  and based upon our latest  conversations
with both you and the transfer agents, we are confident that the problem will be
resolved during the next week. However, it does appear that you will not be able
to timely  file your Form 10K. We  recommend  that you  contact  your  attorneys
immediately to file the appropriate  paperwork for the 15 day extension allowed,
and we believe that we will be able to issue our report prior to the  expiration
of the extension.

If you have any questions, please contact me directly.

                                                  Very truly yours,
                                                  WEINBERG & COMPANY, P.A.

                                                  /s/ Elliot A. Weinberg
                                                  Elliott A. Weinberg, CPA

                                  Attachment II

         The  Registrant   anticipates  that  the  consolidated   statements  of
operations  to be  included  in the Form  10-KSB  will  reflect an  increase  of
approximately 677% in revenues to approximately  $1,115,297 million for the year
ended June 30,  2000 as compared to  approximately  $143,591  for the year ended
June  30,  1999.   This  increase  is  due  to  the  fact  that  the  Registrant
significantly  expanded  its AdCast sales and  marketing  efforts in the current
year as compared to the previous year. In addition,  the Registrant  anticipates
that it will  experience a net operating loss of  approximately  $19,677,002 for
the year ended June 30, 2000 as compared to net operating loss of  approximately
$7,700,999 for the year ended June 30, 1999. This  significant  change is due in
part to (i) a  non-recurring  charge for goodwill  impairment  of  $5,970,000 in
connection  with the write-off of certain assets and (ii) increases in operating
and  overhead  expenses to support  expanded  selling and  software  development
efforts.
