EXPLANATORY NOTE

Haights Cross Communications, Inc. (the “Company”) is a “voluntary filer” for purposes of the periodic and current reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). The Company is a voluntary filer because it does not have a class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or listed on an exchange or in any automated inter-dealer quotation system of any national securities association, and it is no longer required to file reports under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act. Rather, it continues to file its reports under the Exchange Act in order to comply with the reporting covenants contained in its bond indentures.

Item 8.01. Other Events

On August 17, 2009, the Company issued a press release announcing that it had elected to extend the expiration date for its private exchange offer and consent solicitation (the “Exchange Offer”) to qualified investors to exchange the Company’s 12 ½% Senior Discount Notes Due 2011 (“Discount Notes”) for shares of common stock of the Company from 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on August 14, 2009 to 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on August 21, 2009.

The Company has not paid and is currently taking advantage of the applicable 30-day grace period with respect to payment of the semi-annual interest on the Discount Notes that was due on August 3, 2009. Similarly, the Company also intends to take advantage of the applicable 30-day grace period for making the semi-annual interest payment on its 11 3/4% Senior Notes due 2011 (“Senior Notes”) due August 17, 2009.

The Company is seeking to extend its current forbearance agreement, which expires on August 17, 2009, to provide the Company with further time to complete the Exchange Offer (as extended) and other restructuring transactions. The Company also has commenced discussions with holders of its Senior Notes to discuss alternative restructuring plans should the Exchange Offer not be consummated, including the possibility of the commencement of a chapter 11 case and plan of reorganization.

A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The press release contains forward-looking statements and includes cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.
