FOR
IVI PUBLISHING, INC.
The Company is not in a position to file its Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1997 on a timely basis, and even with unusual effort and
substantial expense, the Company would not be in a position to file its Form
10-K on a timely basis and fulfill its disclosure obligations satisfactorily.
The Company is currently in a turn-around mode with new management, new
location, and a different business focus, and has been unable to complete its
audited financial statements in a manner satisfactory to the Company.
