PART III--NARRATIVE
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why the Form 10-K, 10-KSB, 20-F,
11-K, 10-Q, 10-QSB, N-SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could
not be filed within the prescribed time period.
(Attach Extra Sheets If Needed)
The Registrant's inability to file its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 1999 is primarily based on the reasons set forth and described
below:
The Registrant's financial statements could not be finalized until after
finalization of the financial statements of the Registrant's parent. The
financial statements of the Registrant's parent were only recently
completed, thereby resulting in a delay in the preparation of the
Registrant's Form 10-K.
It is anticipated that the Registrant will have a net income of
approximately $4,600,000 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999
(unaudited), on revenue of approximately $66,650,000 (unaudited). However,
inasmuch as Registrant's financial statements have not yet been finalized,
the estimate of these results may be subject to further adjustment.

(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of

year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be
included in the subject report of 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.
See Response in Part III. The increase in net income of
Registrant from $755,000 for the fiscal year ended March 31,
1998 to an anticipated $4,600,000 for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 1999 is attributable to the acquisition by the
Registrant of the assets of the Decorative Coverings Group of
Rubbermaid Incorporated on April 29, 1998.
