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)
 [X] (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, 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; or the subject quarterly report of transition
           report on Form 10-Q, or portion thereof will be filed on or before

 | | (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.

On December 29, 2000, Pacific Gateway Exchange, Inc. ("the Company") filed
a voluntary Chapter 11 petition with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Northern District of California, San Francisco Division. On January 3-4,
2001, five of the Company's U.S. subsidiaries also filed for bankruptcy.
The Company has limited accounting staff at this time and therefore will
not be in a position to make a filing of its Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q. In addition, the Company's lenders have declined to advance the
funds necessary for the Company to prepare and file its Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000 or its Form 10-Q Quarterly Reports
for the quarters ended March 31, 2001 and June 30, 2001.  Without such an
advance, the Company will not be able to complete and file such reports.




PART IV -- OTHER INFORMATION
(1)      Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this
         notification:
            David M. Davis                     650               347-7489
         -----------------------------     -----------      ------------------
                    (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 answer is no, identify report(s).
         | |Yes |X|No

         The Company has not filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
         year ended December 31, 2000 or its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
         for the quarter ended March 31, 2001.

(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.

The Company will have significant declines in revenue as compared to the prior
year. The Company's only revenues are from its Russian operations and limited
commissions from its IECom operations.  The Company is unable to give any
further quantitative estimate of its results for the quarter ended June 30, 2001
at this time.  The Company's debtor in possession credit facility is now
operating under month to month extensions granted by the Company's lenders in
their discretion.
