ATTACHMENT
TO
FORM 12b-25
FOR
IVI PUBLISHING, INC.
The Company is not in a position to file its Form 10-Q for the quarter
ended March 31, 1998, 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-Q on a timely basis and fulfill its disclosure obligations satisfactorily.
The Company has just recently moved its principal executive offices to Seattle,
Washington, and only in the last couple weeks has it had a permanent location
for such. With the transition to Washington, the Company has also experienced
many changes in its officers and other employees, in the financial area and
otherwise, and has been stretching its resources in order to complete all of the
tasks that need to be completed during this transition phase.
