                                     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;

[X]      (b)      The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition
                  report on Form 10-K, 20-F, 11-K or Form N-SAR, or portion
                  thereof, will be filed on or before the 15th calendar day
                  following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly
                  report or 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

                                    PART III
                                    NARRATIVE

         State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K, 11-K, 20-F,
10-Q, N-SAR or the transition report or portion thereof could not be filed
within the prescribed time period. (Attach extra sheets if needed.)

                  As a result of recent reductions in accounting and other
         staff, the registrant is unable to file its annual report on Form 10-K
         for the year ended December 31, 2000 by April 2, 2000 without
         unreasonable effort or expense. The registrant also has been delayed in
         completing its preparations for the audit of its 2000 financial
         statements to be included in the Form 10-K, and the audited financial
         statements for 2000 are not yet complete.

                                     PART IV

         OTHER INFORMATION

(1)      Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this
         notification:

             Kathryn L. Putnam            (770)                 582-3552
                  (Name)               (Area Code)          (Telephone number)

(2)      Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of
         the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment
         Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter
         period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been
         filed? If the answer is no, identify report(s).

                                                        [X]  Yes         [ ]  No

(3)      Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations
         from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be
         reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject
         report or portion thereof?

                                                        [X]  Yes         [ ]  No

If so: attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and
quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate
of the results cannot be made.

         PNI expects that its consolidated financial statements will indicate
total revenues of $14.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, as
compared to $17.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. The decrease in
total revenues compared to the prior year is expected to be due to lower
revenues from network services and pager sales. This is expected to be partially
offset by an increase in revenues from networking products, which PNI began to
sell in 2000. PNI's airtime revenues were affected by its limited working
capital available for pager purchases in 2000, because its customers typically
rely on PNI for pager supply in order to add service units to the company's
networks. PNI's airtime revenues have also been affected by industry trends of
increased competition for reseller service units and declining average revenue
per unit. PNI is at an early stage of development of its networking products
business. Substantially all of its revenues are currently derived from its
network services business. Due to the early stages of commercial sales of PNI's
networking products, related expenses exceeded the Company's networking products
revenues for the 2000 year.

         PNI expects that its consolidated net loss for the year ended December
31, 2000 will be between $8.0 million and $9.0 million, as compared to $10.3
million for the year ended December 31, 1999 (1999 net loss represents
continuing operations before impairment loss and cumulative effect of change in
accounting principle). The reduction in consolidated net losses is expected to
be due to decreases in selling, general and administrative expenses and reduced
interest expense.
