PART II -- RULES 12b-25(b) AND (c)

If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or
expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the
following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate)

       (a)  The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of this 
            form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or 
            expense;
       (b)  The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report
            on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, 11-K or Form N-SAR, or portion thereof,
/X/         will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following
            the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report of 
            transition report on Form 10-Q, or portion thereof will be filed
            on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due
            date; and
       (c)  The accountant's statement or other exhibit required by Rule
            12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.

PART III -- NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q,
N-SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within 
the prescribed time period.

As described in Incomnet's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1998, Incomnet's management has been seeking to raise additional
equity capital and has been engaged in discussions with its primary lender,
Ironwood Telecom LLC, concerning the possible conversion into equity of some or
all of Incomnet's $16.6 million debt with Ironwood. In addition, during the
first quarter of 1999, Incomnet's management has been involved in analyzing
potential acquisition targets in the telecommunications industry. As a
consequence of the time devoted by management to these efforts, the preparation
of Incomnet's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 30, 1999
has been delayed. Incomnet currently expects to file its Form 10-Q on or before
May 24, 1999.

                                ATTACHMENT NO.1                                

Incomnet anticipates that the Consolidated Statement of Operations to be 
filed with the Form 10-Q will contain significant changes in its results of 
operations between the three month periods ended March 31, 1999 and 1998. 
Total net sales decreased approximately $8.7 million to $8.7 million in 1999 
from $17.4 million in 1998. This decline is attributable to significantly 
lower sales at Incomnet Communications Corp. ("ICC") as a result of the i) 
increased difficulty in adding new subscribers following the Orange County 
District Attorney's and California Public Utilities Commission's restrictions 
imposed in late 1997 which were subsequently lifted in late 1998; and ii) 
disruptions during the first half of 1998 in the independent representative 
organization which was subsequently reorganized by late 1998. Incomnet is  
continuing to take steps to revitalize ICC's network marketing organization, 
including developing new telecommunications products that are more 
competitive, working closer with its Representatives to help them better 
understand the products and services provided by ICC, developing new 
commission and bonus programs that will make ICC more competitive in 
attracting new Representatives, and expanding its focus on Representative 
recruiting from primarily a Southern California focus to a nationwide 
program. Management believes its new marketing plans will revitalize ICC's 
efforts to attract additional Representatives. In addition to revitalizing 
its network marketing organization, ICC also is continuing a cost control 
program that is anticipated to result in a more efficient operation and a 
reduced cost structure overall. Despite these efforts, total general and 
administrative costs for 1999 will continue to be high as a percentage of net 
sales due to the base costs of needed infrastructure support including 
facilities, customer service, and other back office operations.

Incomnet's loss for the three month period ended March 31, 1999 is estimated 
to be approximately $1.5 million as compared with $2.5 million for the three 
month period ended March 31, 1998. The loss is primarily attributable to a 
decline in sales at ICC for reasons described above offset by a gain on 
disposal of its subsidiary, GenSource, during the three month period ended 
March 31, 1999 of approximately $1.7 million.
