ITEM 2.05. COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH EXIT OR DISPOSAL ACTIVITIES

In 2004, The Standard Register Company (the “Company”) initiated several restructuring actions as a part of a drive to reduce costs.  At the headquarters of the Company’s subsidiary, InSystems, workforce and leased office space was reduced.  InSystems had experienced significant declines in their revenues and margins in recent periods, and the Company elected to reduce costs and refocus attention on InSystems’ key product lines.

Late in the second quarter of 2005, InSystems trimmed its staffing by an additional ten  persons and elected to vacate and offer a portion of its headquarters facility for sublease.  In conjunction with these actions, the Company expects to incur a pretax restructuring charge of approximately $1.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2005.
