ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

As a result of continued challenges in the markets that it serves, the lack of a rebound in revenue and the inability to secure a new revolving loan facility to replace the current commitment that expires in November 2010, Network Communications, Inc. (the “Company” or “NCI”) elected not to make the June 1, 2010 interest payment of approximately $9.4 million on its 10¾% Senior Notes due 2013. As a result of missing this payment, the Company’s senior secured lenders accelerated all amounts outstanding under the Company’s revolving and term loan credit agreements, which in turn triggered an event of default under the Senior Notes indenture and the senior subordinated credit agreement. The Company’s total debt outstanding, excluding unamortized discounts, is approximately $296.0 million. The Company is unable to pay the outstanding debt if it is called. The Company and its parent, Gallarus Media Holdings, Inc., obtained an agreement from its secured lenders dated June 1, 2010 (the “Agreement”), permitting it to have continued access to and use of its cash as it works with its stakeholders to restructure its balance sheet. The Agreement, as amended, was to expire September 30, 2010.

On September 30, 2010, the Company and its parent, Gallarus Media Holdings, Inc., entered into a fifth amendment to Agreement, dated September 30, 2010, by and among the Company, the lenders party thereto, Toronto Dominion (Texas) LLC, as Administrative Agent under the Company’s revolving credit agreement and under the Company’s senior term loan agreement and as Collateral Agent for the lenders thereunder, and certain other parties thereto to amend the Agreement dated June 1, 2010 such that the definition of “Transaction Event” therein was changed from June 20, 2010 to October 29, 2010. All other terms remain the same. The Company expects to have sufficient cash on hand to fund normal course operations as restructuring negotiations progress.

The above summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the fifth amendment to the Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.36 in addition to the Agreement and its four amendments filed previously with the SEC and incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 2.04 TRIGGERING EVENTS THAT ACCELERATE OR INCREASE A DIRECT FINANCIAL OBLIGATION OR AN OBLIGATION UNDER AN OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENT

The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 2.06 MATERIAL IMPAIRMENTS

As a result of our annual assessment for impairment of goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets and long-lived assets, the Company determined, on July 30, 2010, that it had an impairment loss and recorded a charge of $145.5 million in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended March 28, 2010. The impairment loss is comprised of $105.1 million for impairment of goodwill, $0.7 million for impairment of its indefinite-lived intangible assets, $38.8 million for impairment on definite-lived intangible assets, and $0.9 million for impairment of property, equipment and computer software. The impairment is related to the decline in the Company’s expectations and estimates for future growth in its revenue and operating income.

ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS

DELAY OF FILING OF ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K AND FORM 10-Q

On June 28, 2010, the Company filed a Form 12b-25 Notification of Late Filing to announce that it had not completed the preparation of the Company’s financial statements related to the fiscal year ended March 28, 2010 and that it would be unable to prepare and file its Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Form 10-K”) for the fiscal year ended March 28, 2010 by the June 28, 2010 deadline. The Company has not yet filed the Form 10-K.

The Company’s management is continuing to work to finalize the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 28, 2010. The Company was unable to prepare and file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 20, 2010 by the August 4, 2010 deadline and filed a Form 12b-25 Notification of Late Filing on August 5, 2010. The Company has not yet filed the Form 10-Q.

The Company’s delay in filing its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 28, 2010 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 20, 2010 will be considered by the Company’s management when evaluating the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting. As a result, the Company may conclude related control deficiencies in its disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls over financial reporting.

The Company is continuing to work with its restructuring advisors to review its financial, strategic and legal restructuring options.
