PART III
NARRATIVE 

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

      The Company has been unable to complete all aspects of its Form 10-Q
for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 on, or prior to, the required filing   
date of November 14, 2005. The principal reason for this delay, which the       
Company believes will be resolved on or prior to November 19, 2005, is that the 
Company has not yet been able to complete Note 14 to its Condensed Consolidated 
Financial Statements. This Note is to contain condensed consolidating financial 
information for twelve of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries, each of which
is a guarantor of the Company's senior subordinated notes as described in Note 3
to the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September   
30, 2005, which is hereby incorporated by reference. The Company has undergone a
reorganization of its investment in subsidiary structure in connection with its 
merger with General Binding Corporation that was closed on August 17, 2005. This
reorganization was done in order to facilitate the Company's debt financing.    
This reorganization led to complications in being able to separate financial    
information between guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries within the time    
frame required for filing the Form 10-Q. The Company expects that the           
presentation of the condensed consolidating financial information will not have 
any effect on the consolidated financial statements as presented in the Form    
10-Q. The certifications pursuant to Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of   
2002 have been omitted from the Form 10-Q based solely upon the Company's       
incomplete Note 14 and will be included with the amended Form 10-Q upon filing  
thereof.

(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?

estimate of the results cannot be made.
