                SECTION 1 - REGISTRANT'S BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS

         ITEM 1.01 - ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

         On April 2, 2006, Nebraska Book Company, Inc. ("Nebraska Book"), a
         Kansas corporation and the wholly owned subsidiary of NBC Acquisition
         Corp., a Delaware corporation ("NBC"), entered into a Share Purchase
         Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), with College Bookstores of
         America, Inc., an Illinois corporation ("CBA") and each of the Sellers
         (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), pursuant to which Nebraska Book
         will acquire all of CBA's outstanding stock for approximately $21.3
         million in cash (the "Purchase Price"). Under the terms of the Purchase
         Agreement, a portion of the Purchase Price will be placed into two
         different escrows with varying terms to serve as security for
         indemnification and certain other claims that may arise.

         The transaction is expected to close on May 1, 2006. The parties to the
         Purchase Agreement have made customary representations, warranties and
         covenants therein and the consummation of the transaction is subject to
         various conditions.


         The foregoing description of the transaction does not purport to be
         complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete
         text of the Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto
         and is incorporated herein by reference.

         CBA began providing outsource management services to small to
         medium-sized colleges and universities nationwide in 1984. Today, CBA
         manages 104 campus bookstores and maintains one of the longest tenured
         management teams in the industry. The operations of CBA that Nebraska
         Book will acquire had revenues in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005
         of over $80 million.

         Nebraska Book will seek additional Term Loan borrowings of $24 million,
         an increase in its Revolving Credit Facility of $15 million, and
         amendments to certain restrictions and financial covenants under its
         current Senior Credit Facility to allow for the acquisition. The
         additional Term Loan borrowings, along with an estimated $4 million of
         Nebraska Book's available cash, would finance the purchase of the
         stock, pay off CBA's bank indebtedness, and pay for transaction costs
         and other liabilities associated with the acquisition. The increase in
         the Revolving Credit Facility would provide the funding necessary to
         meet the working capital requirements of the acquired bookstores.

              delayed or that the companies may be required to modify aspects of
              the acquisition to close the acquisition; that all of the closing
              conditions to the acquisition will not be satisfied; and that
              Nebraska Book will not be able to obtain additional Term Loan
              borrowings or an increase in its Revolving Credit Facility or
              amendments to certain restrictions and financial covenants in its
              Senior Credit Facility to allow for the acquisition. More
              information about potential factors that could affect NBC's
              business and financial results are included in NBC's Annual Report

              obligation to update any forward-looking information contained in
              this Form 8-K.
