Part III - Narrative
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why the subject 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 April 10, 2000, the Registrant filed a petition in the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware for reorganization under
Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. The Registrant has had to
deal with an extensive amount of work relating to the Registrant's
bankruptcy filing and the restatement of its prior financial statements.
This resulted in a later than normal start to the audit of the Registrant's
financial statements for the year ended March 25, 2000. The audit is well
underway but could not be completed without the incurrence of unreasonable
effort and expense. The Registrant intends to file the subject Annual
Report on Form 10-K on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the
prescribed due date.

notification
Brian Menezes 864 240-2600
(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 registrant, in connection with the recent receipt of revised audited
financial statements from its auditor, intends to file concurrent with its
10-K filing for the fiscal year ended March 25,2000, an amended 10-K
<PAGE>
for its fiscal year ended March 27,1999 along with amended 10-Qs for the
first two quarters of the fiscal year ended March 25,2000.
(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 statement 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.
As disclosed in its 10-Q filing for the quarter ended December 25,
1999, the registrant reported a goodwill impairment charge of $17.7
million. The impact of this one-time charge, offset by other changes,
results in a significant increase in the registrants estimated
reported net loss from $13.7 million to almost $25 million.
Safety Components International, Inc.
has caused this notification to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned
hereunto duly authorized.
