Former name if applicable

                                     PART II
                             RULE 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 10-Q, 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
                    12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.




                                    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 portion thereof could not be filed within
the prescribed time period.

     The registrant is in the process of preparing and reviewing the financial
information of the Company on a consolidated basis. The process of compiling and
disseminating the information required to be included in the Form 10-QSB, could
not be completed without incurring undue hardship and expense.


                                     PART IV
                                OTHER INFORMATION

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

   Peter Wardle                         (610)                    814-0550
   ------------                         -----                    --------
     (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.

Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2004, were $428,819, compared to
none for the same period last year. There were no operations resulting in sales
during the course of 2003. Protosource's focus during 2003 had been on financing
and completing the P2i Newspaper merger. 2004 revenues are entirely from P2i
Newspaper LLC, a post-merger subsidiary of Protosource.
