PART III -- NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 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.
Source Interlink Companies, Inc. (the “Company”) is not able to file its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2009 within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense because the Company has been devoting substantial resources in addressing its plan of reorganization.  On April 27, 2009, the Company and each of its U.S. subsidiaries (collectively with the Company, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware seeking relief under the provisions of Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (collectively, the “Chapter 11 Case”). The title of the Chapter 11 Case and case number assigned to the Company is In re Source Interlink Companies, Inc., et al and 09-11424, respectively.  Prior to the filing, the Company was negotiating with and soliciting the consents of certain of its lenders for the plan of reorganization.  This diversion of resources and the event of filing the Chapter 11 Case has caused a delay in the Company’s closing process such that it is unable to finalize its books and records and prepare its Form 10-K by the required filing date of May 1, 2009.  The Company will not be in a position to file by the fifteenth calendar day following the required filing date of May 1, 2009.

The Company issued quarterly reports on Form 10-Q on June 6, 2008, September 8, 2008, and December 10, 2008 for the quarterly periods ended April 30, 2008, July 31, 2008 and October 31, 2008, respectively, containing certain information relating to its earnings for such quarterly period. Additionally, on May 1, 2009, the Company filed a current report on Form 8-K containing a report on the Company’s bankruptcy proceedings.  Reference is made to the information presented in such reports with regard to the results for such periods.
