ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS

On December 21, 2000, j2 Global Communications, Inc. announced that it intends
to call a special meeting of stockholders to vote on a reverse stock split of
the Company's common stock. This action would be taken, in part, in response to
a letter received by the Company from Nasdaq notifying it that its stock price
has been trading below the $1.00 minimum bid requirement for thirty trading days
and requiring that the company demonstrate compliance with the rule to maintain
its Nasdaq listing. The reverse stock split is also being initiated to reduce
the


Company's number of shares outstanding after a series of stock acquisitions. A
copy of the press release relating to these events is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to
this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
