<P ALIGN=CENTER><FONT SIZE=3><B>PART III<BR>
NARRATIVE</B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=3>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;State
below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K, 11-K, 20-F, 10-Q, N-SAR or
the transition report portion thereof could not be filed within the prescribed
time period. (Attach extra sheets if needed.) </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=3>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Systemax
Inc. (the &quot;Company&quot;) could not complete its filing on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2004 (the &quot;10-K&quot;) due to delays in the
completion of its financial statements and related portions of the Form 10-K,
which delays could not be eliminated by the Company without unreasonable effort
and expense. The Company believes that it will be able to obtain and file such
information by the 15th calendar day following the prescribed due date.</I> </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=3>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>This
delay has been primarily caused by the fact that the Company&#146;s independent
registered public accountants have not completed their examination of the
Company&#146;s restated results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 and
the first three quarters of fiscal 2004, which financial statements need to be
restated due to certain errors in accounting for inventory at the Company&#146;s
United Kingdom subsidiary as noted in the Company&#146;s Form 8-K dated February
21, 2005, and the results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. Prior to
filing the Form 10-K for fiscal 2004, the registrant plans to file an amended
Form 10-K for fiscal 2003. The Form 10-K for fiscal 2004 will reflect the
restatement of 2004 quarterly results as well as the restatement for fiscal
2003.</I> </FONT></P>
