                               SUMMARY TERM SHEET

        This summary and the remainder of this Transaction Statement on Schedule
13E-3 include information describing the "going private" merger involving Day
Runner, Inc., how it affects you, what your rights are with respect to the
merger as a stockholder of Day Runner and the position of KAYSUN, Inc., KAYSUN
Holdings LLC, Day Holdings LLC, and Osmond Acquisition Company LLC on the
fairness of the merger to the unaffiliated stockholders of Day Runner (that is,
the stockholders other than KAYSUN Holdings LLC and its affiliates).

PURPOSE OF THE MERGER (PAGE 10).


- -       KAYSUN Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of
        KAYSUN Holdings, will own approximately 90.6% (or more, if shares are
        separately purchased) of the outstanding shares of Day Runner common
        stock immediately following conversion by KAYSUN Holdings of
        approximately $27 million principal amount of Day Runner senior secured
        convertible debt, which the owners of KAYSUN Holdings acquired from
        unaffiliated lenders in a series of transactions between August 7, 2000
        and June 1, 2001 and then assigned to KAYSUN Holdings on August 8, 2001.
        KAYSUN Holdings is a Delaware limited liability company, the equity
        interests of which are held 50% by Day Holdings and 50% by Osmond
        Acquisition Company. KAYSUN Holdings is now proposing to cause KAYSUN
        Inc. to merge with Day Runner as a means of acquiring all of the other
        shares of Day Runner common stock and to provide a source of liquidity
        to holders of those shares.

PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE MERGER.

- -       THE MERGER (PAGE 24). KAYSUN Holdings holds senior secured convertible
        debt of Day Runner which is currently convertible into a maximum of
        23,200,000 shares of Day Runner common stock, or approximately 90.6% of
        the outstanding common stock of Day Runner after conversion. KAYSUN
        Holdings intends to convert that debt into 23,200,000 shares of Day
        Runner common stock. It then intends to contribute those shares to
        KAYSUN Inc. and to cause KAYSUN Inc. to merge into Day Runner on
        September 26, 2001 (or as soon thereafter as possible) pursuant to a
        "short-form" merger. As a result of the "short-form" merger, each share
        of Day Runner common stock not owned by KAYSUN Inc. will be converted
        into the right to receive $0.10 in cash. Day Runner will not be required
        to enter into a merger agreement with KAYSUN Inc., and KAYSUN Inc. does
        not intend to seek the approval of the directors of Day Runner for the
        merger. Stockholders of Day Runner will not be entitled to vote their
        shares with respect to the merger.

- -       MERGER CONSIDERATION (PAGE 8). The consideration in the merger will be
        $0.10 per share in cash.

- -       DAY RUNNER SHARES OUTSTANDING; OWNERSHIP BY KAYSUN HOLDINGS LLC AND
        KAYSUN INC. (PAGES 8 AND 19). As of July 31, 2001, a total of 2,408,796
        shares of Day Runner common stock were outstanding. In addition, as of
        July 31, 2001, options and warrants to purchase an additional 462,583
        shares of Day Runner common stock were outstanding. However, each of the
        options and warrants is exercisable at a price well in



                                      -3-
   4


        excess of $0.10 per share. As of July 31, 2001, a total of 23,200,000
        shares of Day Runner common stock were issuable upon the exercise of
        conversion rights under $26,680,000 principal amount of Day Runner's
        outstanding senior secured convertible debt, all of which is held by
        KAYSUN Holdings. Accordingly, KAYSUN Holdings has the right to acquire
        up to 23,200,000 shares of Day Runner common stock, or approximately
        90.6% of the outstanding shares of Day Runner common stock that would
        have been outstanding as of July 31, 2001 if the debt had been converted
        on that date.

- -       PAYMENT FOR SHARES (PAGE 24). We will pay you for your shares of Day
        Runner common stock promptly after the effective date of the merger.
        Instructions for surrendering your stock certificates will be set forth
        in a Notice of Merger and Appraisal Rights and a Letter of Transmittal,
        which will be mailed to stockholders of record of Day Runner within 10
        calendar days following the date the merger becomes effective and should
        be read carefully. Please do not submit your stock certificates before
        you have received these documents. Sending us your stock certificates
        with a properly signed Letter of Transmittal will waive your appraisal
        rights described below. See Item 4, "Terms of the Transaction," in this
        Schedule 13E-3.

- -       OTHER POSSIBLE PURCHASES OF DAY RUNNER COMMON STOCK (PAGE 9). If, before
        the merger is effective, the aggregate ownership by KAYSUN Holdings and
        KAYSUN Inc. of the outstanding shares of Day Runner common stock should
        fall below 90% because of the exercise of outstanding options or for any
        other reason, KAYSUN Inc. intends to acquire additional shares of Day
        Runner common stock on the open market or in privately negotiated
        transactions to the extent required for the aggregate ownership of Day
        Runner common stock by KAYSUN Holdings and KAYSUN Inc. to equal or
        exceed 90%. These purchases would be made at market prices or privately
        negotiated prices at the time of purchase, which may be higher or lower
        than the $0.10 per share price offered in the merger. An aggregate of
        358,723 shares of Day Runner common stock are held by two individual
        members of Day Holdings, with whom KAYSUN Holdings has an informal
        understanding that it may acquire such shares at a price not to exceed
        $0.10 per share. Their shares represent approximately 1.4% of the Day
        Runner shares outstanding assuming conversion of the convertible debt as
        described above.

- -       SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS (PAGE 33). The total amount of funds expected
        to be required by KAYSUN Inc. to pay the merger consideration for Day
        Runner common stock in the merger, and to pay related fees and expenses,
        is estimated to be approximately $350,000, assuming no outstanding
        options or warrants to acquire Day Runner common stock are exercised
        prior to the merger. KAYSUN Holdings will obtain the funds from Day
        Holdings and Osmond Acquisition as a capital contribution.


THE FILING PERSONS' POSITION ON THE FAIRNESS OF THE MERGER (PAGE 13).

The Filing Persons have concluded that the merger is both substantively and
procedurally fair to the unaffiliated stockholders of Day Runner, based
primarily on the following factors:


                                      -4-
   5

- -       Day Runner has defaulted on its obligations under approximately $65.1
        million of senior secured debt held by KAYSUN Holdings, which debt is
        secured by substantially all of the assets of Day Runner, entitling
        KAYSUN Holdings to foreclose on all of such Day Runner assets, in which
        event Day Runner would have no material net assets and the Day Runner
        common stock would have no value.

- -       In light of Day Runner's current financial condition, the Filing Persons
        believe the merger to be the only viable alternative to causing Day
        Runner to file for reorganization relief under Chapter 11 of the United
        States Bankruptcy Code and to propose and confirm a reorganization plan
        pursuant to which the outstanding shares of Day Runner common stock
        could be cancelled for no consideration and KAYSUN Holdings would
        receive 100% of the equity of Day Runner.

- -       Although the Filing Persons could have caused KAYSUN Holdings to
        foreclose on Day Runner's assets or caused Day Runner to file for
        reorganization relief, the Filing Persons chose instead to cause the
        merger because they believe that the merger will be less disruptive to
        Day Runner's business, less distracting to management, and more
        favorable to the unaffiliated stockholders.

- -       The Filing Persons believe that the amount of Day Runner's total
        liabilities far exceed the fair market value of Day Runner's assets, as
        supported by the fact that unaffiliated lenders, each a sophisticated
        financial institution, sold approximately $57.4 million principal amount
        of outstanding senior secured debt of Day Runner on a negotiated, arms
        length basis to Day Holdings and Osmond Acquisition in May and June of
        2001 for approximately $12.1 million (or 21.1% of its principal amount).
        The Filing Persons believe that these transactions involving the
        purchase of Day Runner's debt provide the most recent and relevant fair
        market valuation indications for the entire company. As of July 31,
        2001, any transaction or valuation of Day Runner would have to provide
        for at least approximately $65.1 million of value to KAYSUN Holdings
        because of its 100% ownership of the senior secured debt of Day Runner
        and also satisfy approximately $13.4 million of other liabilities of Day
        Runner as of March 31, 2001 before any value would be available to the
        common shareholders of Day Runner.

- -       Based on the most recently available audited and unaudited balance
        sheets of Day Runner, each share of Day Runner's common stock has a
        negative book value.

- -       The merger represents an opportunity for the unaffiliated stockholders
        of Day Runner to realize cash for their shares, which would otherwise be
        extremely difficult or impossible given the illiquidity of the market
        for shares of Day Runner common stock.

- -       The merger will provide consideration to the Company's unaffiliated
        stockholders entirely in cash and is not subject to any financing
        condition.

- -       The unaffiliated stockholders of Day Runner are entitled to exercise
        appraisal rights and demand "fair value" for their shares as determined
        by the Delaware Court of Chancery,


                                      -5-
   6


        which may be determined to be more or less than the cash consideration
        offered in the merger.

- -       Day Runner will likely be unable to continue to operate as a going
        concern, given general economic, business and industry conditions, the
        historical financial performance of Day Runner and Day Runner's
        inability to satisfy its debt obligations.

- -       To the knowledge of the Filing Persons, there have been no firm offers
        for the acquisition or control of Day Runner or its assets during the
        last two years; however, the Filing Persons are aware of a non-binding
        letter of intent and an expression of interest provided by two different
        parties within the last six months to acquire the assets of Day Runner
        from Day Runner's lenders at prices that were significantly below the
        face value of the senior secured debt of Day Runner and also below the
        price paid for such debt by Day Holdings and Osmond Acquisition in May
        and June of 2001.


See "Special Factors -- Fairness of the Merger -- Factors Considered in
Determining Fairness."

- -       POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. KAYSUN Holdings may be deemed to be in
        control of Day Runner because it has the right to acquire approximately
        90.6% of Day Runner's common stock upon conversion of a portion of its
        Day Runner debt. Each of Day Holdings and Osmond Acquisition Company has
        a 50% ownership interest in KAYSUN Holdings. Mark Majeske, the chief
        executive officer of Day Runner is a member of Day Holdings and was
        appointed to his position at Day Runner after having been introduced to
        Day Runner as a consultant by one of the members of KAYSUN Holdings.
        Accordingly, there are various actual or potential conflicts of interest
        in connection with the merger.

CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER (PAGE 12).


Completion of the merger will have the following consequences:

- -       Day Runner will be a privately held corporation, with KAYSUN Holdings
        owning 100% of the equity interest in Day Runner and its business.

- -       Only the Filing Persons will have the opportunity to participate in the
        future earnings and growth, if any, of Day Runner. Similarly, only the
        Filing Persons will face the risk of losses generated by Day Runner's
        operations or the decline in value of Day Runner after the merger.

- -       The shares of Day Runner common stock will no longer be publicly traded.
        In addition, Day Runner will no longer be subject to the reporting and
        other disclosure requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
        including requirements to file annual and other periodic reports or to
        provide the type of going-private disclosure contained in this Schedule
        13E-3.


                                      -6-
   7

- -       Subject to the exercise of statutory appraisal rights, each of your
        shares will be converted into the right to receive $0.10 in cash,
        without interest.

APPRAISAL RIGHTS (PAGE 25).

- -       You have a statutory right to dissent from the merger and demand payment
        of the fair value of your Day Runner shares as determined in a judicial
        appraisal proceeding in accordance with Section 262 of the Delaware
        General Corporation Law, plus a fair rate of interest, if any, from the
        date of the merger. This value may be more or less than the $0.10 per
        share in cash consideration offered in the merger. In order to qualify
        for these rights, you must make a written demand for appraisal within 20
        days after the date of mailing of the Notice of Merger and Appraisal
        Rights and otherwise comply with the procedures for exercising appraisal
        rights set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law. The statutory
        right of dissent is set out in Section 262 of the Delaware General
        Corporation Law and is complicated. Any failure to comply with its terms
        will result in an irrevocable loss of such right. Stockholders seeking
        to exercise their statutory right of dissent are encouraged to seek
        advice from legal counsel. See Item 4(d), "Terms of the Transaction --
        Appraisal Rights," in this Schedule 13E-3.

                                  INTRODUCTION

        This Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 (the "Schedule 13E-3") is
being filed by (i) KAYSUN Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
("KAYSUN Holdings"), (ii) KAYSUN Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned
subsidiary of KAYSUN Holdings ("KAYSUN Inc."), (iii) Day Holdings LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company ("Day Holdings"), and (iv) Osmond Acquisition
Company LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Osmond Acquisition" and,
together with KAYSUN Holdings, KAYSUN Inc., and Day Holdings, the "Filing
Persons"), pursuant to Section 13(e) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and Rule 13e-3 thereunder. Day Holdings and
Osmond Acquisition each hold fifty percent (50%) of the membership interests of
KAYSUN Holdings. This Schedule 13E-3 is being filed in connection with a
short-form merger (the "Merger") of KAYSUN Inc. with and into Day Runner, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation (the "Company" or "Day Runner"), pursuant to Section 253
of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL"). The effective date (the
"Effective Date") of the Merger is expected to be September 26, 2001 or as soon
thereafter as possible.

        As of July 31, 2001, there were issued and outstanding 2,408,796 shares
of common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the "Shares"), of the Company. As
of July 31, 2001, KAYSUN Holdings held approximately $29 million principal
amount of the senior secured convertible debt (the "Convertible Debt") of the
Company (not including approximately $750,000 in accrued but unpaid interest on
such Convertible Debt which may be paid in kind at the Company's election and
added to principal). KAYSUN Holdings intends to convert $26,680,000 principal
amount of the Convertible Debt into 23,200,000 Shares, or approximately 90.6% of
the total Shares outstanding after conversion, and to contribute such Shares to
KAYSUN Inc. immediately before the Effective Date. On the Effective Date, KAYSUN
Holdings intends to acquire through the Merger the Shares that KAYSUN Inc. does
not then own.

        Upon the consummation of the Merger, each outstanding Share will be
cancelled and each outstanding Share not held by KAYSUN Inc., the Company and
stockholders of the Company who properly exercise statutory appraisal rights
under the DGCL, will be automatically converted into the right to receive $0.10
per Share in cash (the "Merger Price"), without interest, upon surrender of the
certificate for such Share to U.S. Stock Transfer Corporation (the "Paying
Agent"). Instructions with regard to the surrender of stock certificates,
together with a description of statutory appraisal rights, will be set forth in
a Notice of Merger and Appraisal Rights and a Letter of Transmittal, which
documents will be mailed to stockholders of record of the Company on the
Effective Date and should be read carefully.

        Under the DGCL, no action is required by the Board of Directors or the
stockholders of the Company, other than KAYSUN Inc., for the Merger to become
effective. The Company will be the surviving corporation in the Merger. As a
result of the Merger, KAYSUN Holdings will be the only stockholder of the
Company.

        As of July 31, 2001, options to purchase a total of 338,485 Shares (the
"Options") were outstanding under the Company's 1986 Stock Option Plan, 1995
Stock Option Plan and Non-


                                      -8-
   9


Employee Director Stock Option Plan, and warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase a
total of 124,098 shares were also outstanding. The exercise prices of the
outstanding Options and Warrants range from $0.42 to $110.63. Although unlikely,
it is possible that some of the Options or Warrants will be exercised before the
Effective Date.

        If, before the Effective Date, the aggregate ownership by KAYSUN
Holdings and KAYSUN Inc. of the outstanding Shares should fall below 90% because
of the exercise of outstanding Options or Warrants or for any other reason,
KAYSUN Inc. intends to acquire additional Shares on the open market or in
privately negotiated transactions to the extent required for the aggregate
ownership of Day Runner common stock by KAYSUN Holdings and KAYSUN Inc. to equal
or exceed 90%. These purchases would be made at market prices or privately
negotiated prices at the time of purchase, which may be higher or lower than the
Merger Price. An aggregate of 358,723 Shares are held by two individual members
of Day Holdings, with whom KAYSUN Holdings has an informal understanding that it
may acquire such Shares at a price not to exceed $0.10 per share. Their shares
represent approximately 1.4% of the outstanding Shares, assuming conversion of
the Convertible Debt as described above.

                                 SPECIAL FACTORS

                   PURPOSES, ALTERNATIVES, REASONS AND EFFECTS
                                  OF THE MERGER

PURPOSES

        KAYSUN Inc. will own approximately 90.6% (or more, if shares are
separately purchased) of the outstanding Shares upon conversion by KAYSUN
Holdings of $26,680,000 principal amount of the Company's senior secured
convertible debt and the contribution of such Shares to KAYSUN Inc. The owners
of KAYSUN Holdings acquired all of the Company's senior secured debt (the
"Debt") in a series of transactions between August 7, 2000 and June 1, 2001, and
assigned the Debt to KAYSUN Holdings on August 8, 2001. The principal amount of
the Company's Debt (including unpaid accrued interest which may be paid in kind
at the Company's election and added to principal) is currently approximately
$65.1 million. After conversion, there will remain approximately $38.4 million
of Debt held by KAYSUN Holdings. The purpose of the Merger is to enable KAYSUN
Holdings to acquire all of the outstanding equity interest in the Company and to
provide a source of liquidity to the stockholders of the Company other than
KAYSUN Inc. and the Company (the "Public Stockholders").

ALTERNATIVES

        The Filing Persons believe that effecting the transaction by way of a
short-form merger with KAYSUN Inc. under Section 253 of the DGCL is the quickest
and most cost-effective way for KAYSUN Holdings to acquire the outstanding
public minority equity interest in the Company and to provide value and
liquidity to the Public Stockholders. The Filing Persons considered and rejected
the alternative of causing the Company to file a petition for relief under
Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code and propose a plan of
reorganization because of its potential adverse impact on the business of the
Company and the cost, delay and uncertainty associated with bankruptcy
proceedings. Similarly, the Filing Persons considered and rejected the
foreclosing of the Company's assets because of its potential adverse impact on
the business of the Company and the cost, delay and uncertainty associated with
foreclosure. The Filing Persons did not consider a long-form merger to be a
viable alternative because the approvals of the Company's Board of Directors and
of the Public Stockholders would be required under applicable law and would
unnecessarily cause delay and cause Day Runner to incur additional costs and
expenses associated with such a process. Similarly, the Filing Persons did not
consider a tender offer to be a viable alternative as it would entail additional
costs, and a subsequent short-form merger could still be required.

REASONS

        In determining whether to acquire the outstanding public minority equity
interest in the Company and to effect the Merger, the Filing Persons considered
the following factors to be the principal benefits of taking the Company
private:

        -      the reduction in the amount of public information available to
               competitors about the Company's businesses that would result from
               the termination of the


                                      -10-
   11


               Company's obligations under the reporting requirements of the
               Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission");

        -      the elimination of additional burdens on management associated
               with public reporting and other tasks resulting from the
               Company's public company status, including, for example, the
               dedication of time by and resources of the Company's management
               and Board of Directors to stockholder and analyst inquiries and
               investor and public relations;

        -      the decrease in costs, particularly those associated with being a
               public company (for example, as a privately-held entity, the
               Company would no longer be required to file quarterly, annual or
               other periodic reports with the Commission or publish and
               distribute to its stockholders annual reports and proxy
               statements), that the Filing Persons anticipate could result in
               savings of approximately $500,000 per year, including audit and
               legal fees;

        -      the greater flexibility that the Company's management would have
               to focus on long-term business goals, as opposed to quarterly
               earnings, as a non-reporting company, particularly in light of
               the potential volatility in the Company's quarterly earnings; and

        -      recent public capital market trends affecting small-cap
               companies, including perceived lack of interest by institutional
               investors in companies with a limited public float.

        The Filing Persons also considered the advantages and disadvantages of
certain alternatives to acquiring the minority stockholder interest in the
Company, including leaving the Company as a majority-owned, public subsidiary.

        In the view of the Filing Persons, the principal advantage of leaving
the Company as a majority-owned, public subsidiary would be the ability of the
Filing Persons to invest for other purposes the cash that would otherwise be
required to buy the minority stockholder interest in the Company. The
disadvantages of leaving the Company as a majority-owned, public subsidiary
which were considered by the Filing Persons included the inability to achieve
many of the benefits discussed above. The Filing Persons concluded that the
advantages of leaving the Company as a majority-owned, public subsidiary were
significantly outweighed by the disadvantages of doing so, and accordingly that
alternative was rejected.

        The Filing Persons also considered the low volume of trading in the
Shares and considered that the Merger would result in immediate, enhanced
liquidity for the Public Stockholders. In addition, the Filing Persons
considered trends in the price of the Shares in the past twelve months.

        The Filing Persons have determined to effect the Merger at this time
(i.e., as promptly as practicable after acquiring beneficial ownership of 90% of
the Shares) because they wish to immediately realize the benefits of taking the
Company private, as discussed above; the Filing Persons were not able to effect
a transaction like the Merger before acquiring a significant equity


                                      -11-
   12


interest in the Company. The Company's stock price was not a significant factor
in the timing of the Filing Persons' decision to propose the Merger.

        This Rule 13e-3 transaction is structured as a short-form merger under
Section 253 of the DGCL. This form of merger allows the Public Stockholders to
receive cash for their Shares quickly and allows the Company to become a
wholly-owned subsidiary of KAYSUN Holdings without any action by the Board of
Directors of the Company or the Public Stockholders.

EFFECTS

        General. Upon completion of the Merger, the Filing Persons will have
complete control over the conduct of the Company's business and will have a 100%
interest in the net assets, the net book value and the net earnings of the
Company. In addition, the Filing Persons will receive the benefit of the right
to participate in any future increases in the value of the Company and will bear
the complete risk of any losses incurred in the operation of the Company and any
decrease in the value of the Company. The Filing Persons will indirectly realize
all of the benefit in the estimated $500,000 of cost savings resulting from the
Company no longer being public. The Filing Persons' beneficial ownership of the
Company immediately prior to the Merger in the aggregate will amount to
approximately 90.6%. Upon completion of the Merger, the Filing Persons' interest
in the Company's negative book value ($9.5 million on June 30, 2000, assuming
conversion of the Convertible Debt) and net loss ($104.8 million for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2000, assuming conversion of the Convertible Debt) will
increase from approximately 90.6% to 100% of those amounts. The Filing Persons
do not believe that the Merger will have any positive or negative effect on
whether the Filing Persons will be able to use any of the Company's prior tax
losses to shelter any future income.

        Stockholders. Upon completion of the Merger, the Public Stockholders
will no longer have any interest in, and will not be stockholders of, the
Company and therefore will not participate in the Company's future earnings and
potential growth and will no longer bear the risk of any decreases in the value
of the Company. In addition, the Public Stockholders will not share in any
distribution of proceeds after any sales of businesses of the Company, whether
contemplated at the time of the Merger or thereafter. See Item 6(c), "Purposes
of the Transaction and Plans or Proposals -- Plans." All of the Public
Stockholders' other incidents of stock ownership, such as the rights to vote on
certain corporate decisions, to elect directors, to receive distributions upon
the liquidation of the Company and to receive appraisal rights upon certain
mergers or consolidations of the Company (unless such appraisal rights are
perfected in connection with the Merger), as well as the benefit of potential
increases in the value of a Public Stockholder's holdings in the Company based
on any improvements in the Company's future performance, will be extinguished
upon completion of the Merger.

        Upon completion of the Merger, the Public Stockholders also will not
bear the risks of potential decreases in the value of their holdings in the
Company based on any downturns in the Company's future performance. Instead, the
Public Stockholders will have liquidity, in the form of the Merger Price, in
place of an ongoing equity interest in the Company, in the form of the Shares.
In summary, if the Merger is completed, the Public Stockholders will have no
ongoing rights as stockholders of the Company (other than statutory appraisal
rights in the case of Public Stockholders who are entitled to and perfect such
rights under Delaware law).


                                      -12-
   13


        The Shares. Once the Merger is consummated, public trading of the Shares
will cease. The Filing Persons intend to deregister the Shares under the
Exchange Act. As a result, the Company will no longer be required to file
annual, quarterly and other periodic reports with the Commission under Section
13(a) of the Exchange Act and will no longer be subject to the proxy rules under
Section 14 of the Exchange Act. In addition, the principal stockholder of the
Company will no longer be subject to reporting its ownership of Shares under
Section 13 of the Exchange Act or to the requirement under Section 16 of the
Exchange Act to disgorge to the Company certain profits from the purchase and
sale of Shares.

        Treatment of Options and Warrants. The Company has outstanding Options
and Warrants to purchase 462,583 Shares. On the Effective Date, options to
purchase 6,460 Shares under the Company's 1986 Stock Option Plan and Warrants to
purchase 119,098 Shares will terminate, and all other Options and Warrants not
yet vested will become immediately exercisable. If an Option or Warrant is
exercised prior to the Merger, each share received upon such exercise will
become the right to receive the Merger Price. Because the exercise price of the
Options and Warrants in each case well exceeds the Merger Price, the Options and
Warrants have no apparent value and it is unlikely that they will be exercised.

             CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER.

        The following is a general summary of the material U.S. federal income
tax consequences of the Merger to beneficial owners of Shares. This summary is
based upon the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"), applicable treasury regulations thereunder, judicial decisions and
current administrative rulings as in effect on the date of this Schedule 13E-3.
The discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that
may be relevant to particular taxpayers in light of their personal circumstances
or to taxpayers subject to special treatment under the Code (for example, life
insurance companies, dealers in securities and other taxpayers subject to the
mark-to-market rules, foreign persons and beneficial owners whose Shares were
acquired pursuant to the exercise of warrants, employee stock options or
otherwise as compensation) and does not address any aspect of state, local,
foreign or other taxation.

        The receipt of cash by a stockholder, pursuant to the Merger or pursuant
to the exercise of the stockholder's statutory appraisal rights, will be a
taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes and may also be taxable
for state and local income tax purposes as well. Accordingly, a stockholder will
recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between (i) the amount of cash
that such stockholder receives in the Merger and (ii) such stockholder's
adjusted tax basis in its Shares. Such gain or loss will be capital gain or loss
if the stockholder holds the Shares as a capital asset, and generally will be
long-term capital gain or loss if, at the effective date of the Merger, the
stockholder has held the Shares for more than one year.

        The cash payments made to a stockholder pursuant to the Merger will be
subject to U.S. federal backup withholding unless the stockholder provides the
Paying Agent with his, her or its tax identification number (social security
number or employer identification number) and certifies that such number is
correct, or unless an exemption from backup withholding applies.

        EACH BENEFICIAL OWNER OF SHARES IS URGED TO CONSULT SUCH BENEFICIAL
OWNER'S TAX ADVISER AS TO THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES TO SUCH BENEFICIAL OWNER
OF THE MERGER, INCLUDING THE APPLICATION OF STATE, LOCAL, FOREIGN AND OTHER TAX
LAWS.

                             FAIRNESS OF THE MERGER

POSITION OF THE FILING PERSONS AS TO THE FAIRNESS OF THE MERGER

        Because KAYSUN Holdings currently beneficially owns a majority of the
Shares (since it has the right to acquire such Shares at any time upon
conversion of the Convertible Debt), the Filing Persons may be deemed
"affiliates" of the Company within the meaning of Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange
Act. Accordingly, the rules of the Commission require the Filing Persons, as
affiliates of the Company, to express their belief as to the substantive and
procedural fairness of the Merger to the Company's unaffiliated stockholders
(i.e., the Public Stockholders).

        Each of the Filing Persons has determined that the Merger is both
substantively and procedurally fair to the Public Stockholders. This belief is
based on the following factors:

- -       Day Runner has defaulted on its obligations under approximately $65.1
        million of the senior secured debt held by KAYSUN Holdings, which debt
        is secured by substantially all of the assets of Day Runner, entitling
        KAYSUN Holdings to foreclose on all of such Day Runner assets in which
        event Day Runner would have no material net assets and the Day Runner
        Common Stock would have no value.

- -       In light of Day Runner's current financial condition, the Filing Persons
        believe the Merger to be the only viable alternative to causing Day
        Runner to file for reorganization relief under Chapter 11 of the United
        States Bankruptcy Code and to propose and confirm a reorganization plan
        pursuant to which the outstanding shares of Day Runner common stock
        could be cancelled for no consideration and KAYSUN Holdings would
        receive 100% of the equity of Day Runner.

- -       Although the Filing Persons could have caused KAYSUN Holdings to
        foreclose on Day Runner's assets or caused Day Runner to file for
        reorganization relief, the Filing Persons chose instead to cause the
        merger because they believe that the merger will be less disruptive to
        Day Runner's business, less distracting to management, and more
        favorable to the unaffiliated stockholders.

- -       The Filing Persons believe that the amount of Day Runner's total
        liabilities far exceed the fair market value of Day Runner's assets, as
        supported by the fact that unaffiliated lenders, each a sophisticated
        financial institution, sold approximately $57.4 million principal amount
        of Debt on a negotiated, arms-length basis to Day Holdings and Osmond
        Acquisition in May and June of 2001 for approximately $12.1 million (or
        21.1% of its principal amount). The Filing Persons believe that these
        transactions involving the purchase of Day Runner's Debt provide the
        most recent and relevant fair market valuation indications for the
        entire company. As of July 31, 2001, any transaction or valuation of Day
        Runner would have to provide for at least approximately $65.1 million


                                      -14-
   15

        of value to KAYSUN Holdings because of their 100% ownership of the Debt
        and also satisfy approximately $13.4 million of other liabilities of Day
        Runner as of March 31, 2001 before any value would be available to the
        common shareholders of Day Runner.


- -       Based on the most recently available audited and unaudited balance
        sheets of Day Runner, each share of Day Runner's common stock has a
        negative book value.

- -       The merger represents an opportunity for the unaffiliated stockholders
        of Day Runner to realize cash for their shares, which would otherwise be
        extremely difficult or impossible given the illiquidity of the market
        for shares of Day Runner common stock.

- -       The merger will provide consideration to the Company's unaffiliated
        stockholders entirely in cash and is not subject to any financing
        condition.

- -       The unaffiliated stockholders of Day Runner are entitled to exercise
        appraisal rights and demand "fair value" for their shares as determined
        by the Delaware Court of Chancery, which may be determined to be more or
        less than the cash consideration offered in the merger.

- -       Day Runner will likely be unable to continue to operate as a going
        concern, given general economic, business and industry conditions, the
        historical financial performance of Day Runner and Day Runner's
        inability to satisfy its debt obligations.

- -       To the knowledge of the Filing Persons, there have been no firm offers
        for the acquisition or control of Day Runner or its assets during the
        last two years; however, the Filing Persons are aware of a non-binding
        letter of intent and an expression of interest provided by two different
        parties within the last six months to acquire the assets of Day Runner
        from Day Runner's lenders at prices that were significantly below the
        face value of the Debt and also below the price paid for the Debt by Day
        Holdings and Osmond Acquisition in May and June of 2001.


        Although the Merger does not require the approval of a majority of
unaffiliated stockholders or a majority of disinterested directors and there has
not been a representative of the unaffiliated stockholders to negotiate on their
behalf, the Filing Persons believe that the Merger is procedurally fair because
the unaffiliated stockholders will be entitled to exercise appraisal rights to
have determined and to receive a court-determined fair value for their Shares
under Section 262 of the DGCL (see Item 4(d), "Terms of the Transaction --
Appraisal Rights") and because the Filing Persons are providing advance notice
of the Merger and believe that they have disclosed fully the relevant
information to permit unaffiliated stockholders to determine whether to accept
the Merger Price or to seek appraisal for their Shares. Moreover, the Merger has
been structured in compliance with Section 253 of the DGCL, which prescribes
procedures for "short-form" mergers.

        In order to evaluate and reach conclusions in connection with the above
factors, the Filing Persons conducted various analyses which are described as
follows:


                                      -15-
   16


        Insolvency Analysis. The Filing Persons considered the inability of the
Company to make scheduled payments of principal and interest on, and generally
remain in compliance with respect to agreements governing, its secured
indebtedness. Because the Filing Persons are the holders of the Debt, the Filing
Persons could elect to cause the Company to file for reorganization under
Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code and to propose and confirm a
reorganization plan pursuant to which, under the Company's current financial
condition, as discussed below, the outstanding Shares would be cancelled for no
consideration and KAYSUN Holdings would receive 100% of the equity of the
Company in exchange for forgiveness of some or all of the Company's secured
indebtedness.

        Foreclosure Analysis. KAYSUN Holdings holds senior debt of the Company
that is secured by substantially all of the Company's assets. The Company is
currently in default with respect to such indebtedness; accordingly, KAYSUN
Holdings could at any time elect to foreclose on the Company's assets to
partially satisfy the Company's obligations with respect to the indebtedness.
Because the value of the Company's assets is less than the principal amount of
the debt, as discussed below, such a foreclosure would leave the Company with no
assets with which to conduct any business. If the Company were not able to
conduct any business, the Shares would have no value.

        Book Value Analysis. Based on the Company's (i) audited balance sheet at
June 30, 2000 and (ii) unaudited balance sheet at March 30, 2001, the Company
had total stockholder deficiencies, or negative book values, of $9.6 million and
$32.5 million, at such respective balance sheet dates, resulting in book values
per Share, assuming conversion of the Convertible Debt into 23,200,000 Shares
and excluding Shares held in treasury and Shares issuable upon exercise options
and warrants with respect to which the exercise price exceeds the Merger Price,
of -$0.38 and -$1.27, respectively.

        Fair Value and "Going Concern" Analysis. The Filing Persons believe that
the best independent indication of the fair value of the Company's assets and of
the Company's "going concern" value is the price at which the former holders of
the Debt, each of which is a sophisticated financial institution, were willing
to sell the Debt to Day Holdings and Osmond Acquisition in May and June 2001.
Day Holdings and Osmond Acquisition purchased an aggregate principal amount of
$57.4 million of the Debt from such holders for total consideration of
approximately $12.1 million. By agreeing to sell such portion of the Debt, which
is secured by substantially all of the Company's assets, for approximately 21.1%
of the aggregate principal amount thereof, the Company's former secured lenders
acted in a manner consistent with a belief that the fair value of the Company's
assets is significantly less than the amount of its liabilities and that the
Company has no "going concern" value at its current level of indebtedness. See
Item 5(e), "Past Contacts, Transactions, Negotiations and Agreements Agreements
Involving the Subject Company's Securities".

        Liquidity Analysis. The Merger Price is lower than the price at which
Shares have recently traded in the over-the-counter market, but the Filing
Persons do not believe that the trading prices reflect the actual value of the
Shares or that a significant number of Shares could be sold for such recent
trading prices. The Filing Persons believe that the liquidity that will result
from the Merger would be beneficial to the Public Stockholders because the
Filing Persons' significant ownership of Shares results in a relatively small
public float that necessarily


                                      -16-
   17


limits the amount of trading in the Shares and eliminates the possibility that a
proposal to acquire the Shares would be made by an independent entity without
the consent of the Filing Persons. The Filing Persons intend to retain their
majority holdings in the Company, which forecloses the opportunity to consider
an alternative transaction with a third party purchaser of the Company or
otherwise provide liquidity to the Public Stockholders. Accordingly, finding a
third party buyer for the Company is not a realistic option for the Public
Stockholders. None of the Filing Persons has solicited or received an offer for
the Company from a third party in the prior two years.

        The Filing Persons have considered all of the foregoing factors and
related analyses as a whole to support their belief that the Merger is
substantively and procedurally fair to the Public Stockholders.

        In addition to the foregoing factors and analyses that support the
Filing Persons' belief that the Merger is procedurally and substantively fair to
the Public Stockholders, the Filing Person have considered the following four
factors:

        -      following the consummation of the Merger, the Public Stockholders
               will cease to participate in the future earning or growth, if
               any, of the Company, or benefit from an increase, if any, in the
               value of their holdings in the Company;

        -      the interests of the Filing Persons in determining the Merger
               Price are adverse to the interests of the Public Stockholders and
               the fact that certain officers and directors of the Company may
               have actual or potential conflicts of interest in connection with
               the Merger as disclosed herein;

        -      because the Merger is being effected pursuant to a short-form
               merger under Section 253 of the GDCL and consequently does not
               require approval by the Company's board of directors or the
               Company's stockholders (other than the Filing Person), neither
               the Company's board of directors nor the Public Stockholders will
               have the opportunity to vote on the Merger; and

        -      the Company's board of directors did not establish a special
               committee consisting of non-management, independent directors for
               the purpose of representing solely the interests of the Public
               Stockholders and retaining independent advisers to assist with
               the evaluation of strategic alternatives, including the Merger.

After having given these additional four factors due consideration, the Filing
Persons have concluded that none of these factors, alone or in the aggregate, is
significant enough to outweigh the factors and analyses that the Filing Persons
have considered to support their belief that the Merger is substantively and
procedurally fair to the Public Stockholders.


        In view of the number and wide variety of factors considered in
connection with making a determination as to the fairness of the Merger to the
Public Stockholders, and the complexity of these matters, the Filing Persons did
not find it practicable to, nor did they attempt to, quantify, rank or otherwise
assign relative weights to the specific factors they considered. Moreover, the
Filing Persons have not undertaken to make any specific determination or assign
any particular


                                      -17-
   18

weight to any single factor, but have conducted an overall analysis of the
factors described above.

        The Filing Persons have not considered any factors, other than as stated
above, regarding the fairness of the Merger to the Public Stockholders, as it is
their view that the factors they considered provided a reasonable basis to form
their belief.

        Specifically, in forming their belief as to the fairness of the Merger
to the Public Stockholders, the Filing Persons did not consider the purchase
prices paid by them for past purchases of Shares or the fact that they did not
attempt to "shop" the Company to prospective buyers as an alternative to the
Merger because the Company's financial condition has materially worsened since
such purchases were made. The Filing Persons did not consider the purchase
prices paid by the Filing Persons for past purchases of Shares to be material to
their conclusion regarding the fairness of the Merger because the prices paid or
deemed to have been paid for such Shares may not reflect the current value of
the Company, considering its current level of indebtedness. The Filing Persons
believe that "shopping" the Company would not only entail substantial time
delays and detract from the amount of management's time and energy focused on
the Company's business, but would also disrupt and discourage the Company's
employees and create extreme uncertainty among the Company's customers and
suppliers. The Filing Persons also have knowledge that the prior holders of the
Debt unsuccessfully "shopped" the Company between the second quarter of 2000 and
the second quarter of 2001, and the Filing Persons have considered the apparent
results of those efforts in their determination that the Merger is fair to the
Public Stockholders.

        In addition, the Filing Persons did not consider current or historical
market prices for the Shares as relevant to their belief that the Merger is
fair. Historical market prices do not reflect the Company's current financial
condition, which has generally continued to worsen over the last several years.
The Filing Persons believe that market prices for the Shares immediately prior
to the public announcement of the Merger, which were higher than the Merger
Price, are not indicative of the fair value of the Shares. The trading volumes
at that time were extremely low, and the Filing Persons believe that most
stockholders would not have been able to sell their Shares at those prices due
to the general lack of liquidity for the Shares. The Filing Persons believe that
any trades at that time were speculative and did not reflect any measure of the
fair or intrinsic value of the Shares.

                 REPORTS, OPINIONS, APPRAISALS AND NEGOTIATIONS

        The Filing Persons have not engaged any third parties to perform any
financial analysis of, or prepare any reports, opinions or appraisals
concerning, the Merger or value of the Shares and, accordingly, the Filing
Persons have not received any report, opinion or appraisal from an outside party
relating to the fairness of the Merger Price being offered to the Public
Stockholders or the fairness of the Merger to the Filing Persons or to the
Public Stockholders.

ITEM 4. TERMS OF THE TRANSACTION

        (a) MATERIAL TERMS. Prior to the Effective Date, KAYSUN Holdings plans
to contribute up to 23,200,000 Shares to KAYSUN Inc., representing in the
aggregate approximately 90.6% of the Shares that would have been outstanding on
July 31, 2001 if the Convertible Debt had been converted as of such date. On the
Effective Date, KAYSUN Inc. will merge with and into the Company pursuant to
Section 253 of the DGCL, with the Company to be the surviving corporation. To so
merge, the Board of Directors and the stockholder of KAYSUN Inc. will approve
the Merger and KAYSUN Inc. will file a Certificate of Ownership and Merger with
the Secretary of State of Delaware. On the Effective Date:

        -      each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
               Effective Date will be cancelled and extinguished and each such
               Share (other than Shares owned by KAYSUN Inc. or the Company and
               Shares held by Public Stockholders, if any, who properly exercise
               their dissenters' statutory appraisal rights under the DGCL) will
               be converted into and become a right to receive the Merger Price;
               and

        -      each share of KAYSUN Inc.'s capital stock issued and outstanding
               immediately prior to the Effective Date shall be converted into
               one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common
               stock of the Company as the surviving corporation of the Merger.
               As a result of the Merger, KAYSUN Holdings will own all of the
               outstanding equity interests in the Company.

        Under the DGCL, because KAYSUN Inc. will hold at least 90% of the
outstanding Shares prior to the Merger, KAYSUN Inc. will have the power to
effect the Merger without a vote of the Company's Board of Directors or Public
Stockholders. KAYSUN Inc. intends to take all necessary and appropriate action
to cause the Merger to become effective on the Effective Date, without a meeting
or consent of the Company's Board of Directors or Public Stockholders. The
Merger Price payable to Public Stockholders is $0.10 in cash per Share. The
reasons for the Merger are set out in "Special Factors -- Purposes,
Alternatives, Reasons and Effects of the Merger -- Reasons". Certain federal
income tax consequences of the Merger are set out in "Special Factors --
Purposes, Alternatives, Reasons and Effects of the Merger -- Effects -- Certain
Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger."

        Upon completion of the Merger, in order to receive the cash Merger Price
of $0.10 per Share, each stockholder or a duly authorized representative must
(1) deliver a Letter of Transmittal, appropriately completed and executed, to
the Shareholder Services Department of the Paying Agent at 1745 Gardena Avenue,
Glendale, California 91204, and (2) surrender such Shares by delivering the
stock certificate or certificates that, prior to the Merger, had evidenced such
Shares to the Paying Agent, as set forth in a Notice of Merger and Appraisal
Rights and Letter of Transmittal, which will be mailed to stockholders of record
on the Effective Date. Stockholders are encouraged to read the Notice of Merger
and Appraisal Rights and Letter of


                                      -25-
   26


Transmittal carefully when received. Delivery of an executed Letter of
Transmittal shall constitute a waiver of statutory appraisal rights.

        The Merger will be accounted for as the acquisition of a minority
interest by KAYSUN Holdings, using the purchase method of accounting.

        For federal income tax purposes, the receipt of the cash consideration
by holders of the Shares pursuant to the Merger will be a taxable sale of the
holders' Shares. See "Special Factors -- Purposes, Alternatives, Reasons and
Effects of the Merger -- Effects -- Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences of
the Merger."

        (c) DIFFERENT TERMS. Stockholders of the Company will be treated as
described in Item 4(a), "Terms of the Transaction -- Material Terms."

        (d) APPRAISAL RIGHTS. Under the DGCL, record holders of Shares who
follow the procedures set forth in Section 262 will be entitled to have their
Shares appraised by the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and to
receive payment of the fair value of the Shares, together with a fair rate of
interest, if any, as determined by such court. The fair value as determined by
the Delaware court is exclusive of any element of value arising from the
accomplishment or expectation of the Merger. The following is a summary of
certain of the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL and is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the full text of Section 262, a copy of which is
attached.

        Notice of the Effective Date and the availability of appraisal rights
under Section 262 (the "Merger Notice") will be mailed to record holders of the
Shares by the Company, as the surviving corporation in the Merger, within 10
calendar days of the Effective Date and should be reviewed. Any Public
Stockholder entitled to appraisal rights will have the right, within 20 days
after the date of mailing of the Merger Notice, to demand in writing from the
Company an appraisal of his or her Shares. Such demand will be sufficient if it
reasonably informs the Company of the identity of the stockholder and that the
stockholder intends to demand an appraisal of the fair value of his or her
Shares. Failure to make such a timely demand would foreclose a stockholder's
right to appraisal.

        Only a holder of record of Shares is entitled to assert appraisal rights
for the Shares registered in that holder's name. A demand for appraisal should
be executed by or on behalf of the holder of record fully and correctly, as the
holder's name appears on the stock certificates. Holders of Shares who hold
their shares in brokerage accounts or other nominee forms and wish to exercise
appraisal rights should consult with their brokers to determine the appropriate
procedures for the making of a demand for appraisal by such nominee. All written
demands for appraisal of Shares should be sent or delivered to Catherine
Ratcliffe, Vice President and General Counsel of the Company, at the Company's
offices at 2750 West Moore Avenue, Fullerton, CA 92633-2565.

        If the Shares are owned of record in a fiduciary capacity, such as by a
trustee, guardian or custodian, execution of the demand should be made in that
capacity, and if the Shares are owned of record by more than one person, as in a
joint tenancy or tenancy in common, the demand should be executed by or on
behalf of all joint owners. An authorized agent, including one or


                                      -26-
   27

more joint owners, may execute a demand for appraisal on behalf of a holder of
record; however, the agent must identify the record owner or owners and
expressly disclose the fact that, in executing the demand, the agent is agent
for such owner or owners.

        A record holder such as a broker holding Shares as nominee for several
beneficial owners may exercise appraisal rights with respect to the Shares held
for one or more beneficial owners while not exercising such rights with respect
to the Shares held for other beneficial owners; in such case, the written demand
should set forth the number of shares as to which appraisal is sought and where
no number of shares is expressly mentioned the demand will be presumed to cover
all Shares held in the name of the record owner.

        Within 120 calendar days after the Effective Date, the Company, or any
stockholder entitled to appraisal rights under Section 262 and who has complied
with the foregoing procedures, may file a petition in the Delaware Court of
Chancery demanding a determination of the fair value of the Shares of all such
stockholders. The Company is not under any obligation, and has no present
intention, to file a petition with respect to the appraisal of the fair value of
the Shares. Accordingly, it is the obligation of the stockholders to initiate
all necessary action to perfect their appraisal rights within the time
prescribed in Section 262. If a stockholder files a petition, a copy of such
petition must be served on the Company.

        Within 120 calendar days after the Effective Date, any stockholder of
record who has complied with the requirements for exercise of appraisal rights
and, if appraisal rights are available, will be entitled, upon written request,
to receive from the Company a statement setting forth the aggregate number of
Shares with respect to which demands for appraisal have been received and the
aggregate number of holders of such Shares. Such statement must be mailed within
10 calendar days after a written request therefor has been received by the
Company or within 10 calendar days after the expiration of the period for the
delivery of demands for appraisal, whichever is later.

        If a petition for an appraisal is timely filed and a copy is served upon
the Company, the Company will then be obligated within 20 days to file with the
Delaware Register in Chancery a duly verified list containing the names and
addresses of all stockholders who have demanded an appraisal of their Shares and
with whom agreements as to the value of such Shares have not been reached. After
notice to those stockholders as required by the Court, the Delaware Court of
Chancery is empowered to conduct a hearing on the petition to determine those
stockholders who have complied with Section 262 and who have become entitled to
appraisal rights. After a hearing on such petition, the Delaware Court of
Chancery will determine the stockholders entitled to appraisal rights and will
appraise the fair value of the Shares, exclusive of any element of value arising
from the accomplishment or expectation of the Merger, together with a fair rate
of interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount determined to be the fair value.
Holders considering seeking appraisal should be aware that the fair value of
their Shares as determined under Section 262 could be more than, the same as or
less than the amount per Share that they would otherwise receive if they did not
seek appraisal of their Shares. The Delaware Supreme Court has stated that
"proof of value by any techniques or methods that are generally considered
acceptable in the financial community and otherwise admissible in court" should
be considered in the appraisal proceedings. In addition, Delaware courts have
decided that the statutory appraisal remedy, depending on factual circumstances,
may or may not be a dissenter's exclusive

remedy. The Court will also determine the amount of interest, if any, to be paid
upon the amounts to be received by persons whose Shares have been appraised. The
costs of the action may be determined by the Court and taxed upon the parties as
the Court deems equitable. The Court may also order that all or a portion of the
expenses incurred by any holder of Shares in connection with an appraisal,
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and the fees and
expenses of experts used in the appraisal proceeding, be charged pro rata
against the value of all the Shares entitled to appraisal.

        The Court may require stockholders who have demanded an appraisal and
who hold Shares represented by certificates to submit their certificates to the
Court for notation thereon of the pendency of the appraisal proceedings. If any
stockholder fails to comply with such direction, the Court may dismiss the
proceedings as to such stockholder.

        Any stockholder who has duly demanded an appraisal in compliance with
Section 262 will not, after the Effective Date, be entitled to vote the Shares
subject to such demand for any purpose or be entitled to the payment of
dividends or other distributions on those shares (except dividends or other
distributions payable to holders of record of Shares as of a date prior to the
Effective Date).

        If any stockholder who demands appraisal of Shares under Section 262
fails to perfect, or effectively withdraws or loses, the right to appraisal, as
provided in the DGCL, the Shares of such holder will be converted into the right
to receive the Merger Price per Share, without interest. A stockholder will fail
to perfect, or effectively lose, the right to appraisal if no petition is filed
within 120 calendar days after the Effective Date. A stockholder may withdraw a
demand for appraisal by delivering to the Company a written withdrawal of the
demand for appraisal and acceptance of the Merger Price, except that any such
attempt to withdraw made more than 60 calendar days after the Effective Date
will require the written approval of the Company. Once a petition for appraisal
has been filed, such appraisal proceeding may not be dismissed as to any
stockholder without the approval of the Court.

        For federal income tax purposes, stockholders who receive cash for their
Shares upon exercise of their statutory right of dissent will realize taxable
gain or loss. See "Special Factors -- Purposes, Alternatives, Reasons and
Effects of the Merger -- Effects -- Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences of
the Merger."

        The foregoing summary does not purport to be a complete statement of the
procedures to be followed by stockholders desiring to exercise their appraisal
rights and is qualified in its entirety by express reference to the Delaware
Appraisal Statute, the full text of which is attached hereto as Exhibit (f).
STOCKHOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ EXHIBIT (F) IN ITS ENTIRETY SINCE FAILURE TO
COMPLY WITH THE PROCEDURES SET FORTH THEREIN WILL RESULT IN THE LOSS OF
APPRAISAL RIGHTS.

        (e) PROVISIONS FOR UNAFFILIATED SECURITY HOLDERS. None of the Filing
Persons intends to grant unaffiliated stockholders special access to the
Company's records in connection with the Merger. None of the Filing Persons
intends to obtain counsel to or appraisal services for unaffiliated stockholders
of the Company.

"First Waiver and Amendment"), and that certain Debt Affirmation and Release
Agreement dated as of April 25, 2001 (the "Debt Affirmation Agreement," together
with the First Waiver and Amendment and the Second Restatement, the "Loan

plc and Filofax Limited under the Loan Agreement.

        On April 25, 2001, the Company sold its Filofax operations (including
Day Runner UK plc and Filofax Limited) for $30,000,000 in debt reduction to
entities affiliated with the Lenders. As a result of these transactions and the

amount of Pound Sterling12,420,210 (US$17,636,699) and the balance of Term Loan
B debt was reduced by US$12,363,301.

        On May 10, 2001, Osmond Acquisition acquired that portion of the Debt
owned by Mellon Bank, N.A., pursuant to an Assignment Agreement, dated as of May
10, 2001 between Osmond Acquisition and Mellon Bank, N.A. On May 11, 2001,
Osmond Acquisition acquired that portion of the Debt owned by Credit Agricole

        As a result of the Debt Affirmation Agreement, and subsequent releases

certain related entities were released from all obligations under the Loan
Agreement except with respect to the Foreign Currency Loan.

        On August 7, 2000, certain entities that are now members of Day

Oaktree Capital Management, LLC, pursuant to a Purchase and Sale Agreement
(Secondary Assignment; Borrower Not in Bankruptcy), dated as of August 7, 2000,
between Oaktree Capital Management, LLC and KACALP. This participation interest

        On May 29, 2001, KACALP and Sunrise entered into an Investment Agreement
(the "Investment Agreement"), pursuant to which they agreed, through Osmond
Acquisition and Day Holdings, to acquire all of the outstanding Debt owned by
the Lenders and that each would own an equal share of the Debt. Subsequently,
pursuant to Assignment and Acceptances dated as of June 27, 2001, Osmond
Acquisition and Day Holdings, respectively, assigned portions of the Debt to
each other with the result that each owned half of the Debt. Under the
Investment Agreement, KACALP and Sunrise agreed to cause the Debt to be
contributed by Day Holdings and Osmond Acquisition, respectively, to KAYSUN
Holdings, which was formed for the purposes of holding the Debt and serving as
the vehicle with respect to any further transactions involving the Company.
Pursuant to Assignment and Acceptances dated as of August 8, 2001, Osmond
Acquisition and Day Holdings, respectively, assigned all of the Debt to KAYSUN
Holdings. KACALP and Sunrise intend, upon completion of the Merger, that KAYSUN
Holdings shall, if and to the extent possible, cause the board of directors of
the Company to be constituted in such a manner as to afford Day Holdings and
Osmond Acquisition equal representation thereon.

        Under the Loan Agreement, a portion of the term loans previously
outstanding under a prior agreement, in the total amount of $27,163,875.13, was
reclassified as loans convertible into Shares (defined elsewhere herein as the
"Convertible Debt"), which Convertible Debt was evidenced by notes in favor of
each of the Lenders (the "Convertible Notes"), maturing on July 31, 2002 (the
"Maturity Date"), which Convertible Notes were assigned to Osmond Acquisition
and Day Holdings as part of the Debt acquired by them from the Lenders, and
subsequently assigned to KAYSUN Holdings. The Loan Agreement permits the Company
to make payments of interest accrued on the Convertible Loans through the
Maturity Date in the form of payment-in-kind ("PIK") notes (the "PIK Interest
Notes (CL)"). On August 8, 2001, as part of the assignment of the Debt to KAYSUN
Holdings, Osmond Acquisition and Day Holdings transferred the Convertible Notes
and the PIK Interest Notes (CL) to KAYSUN Holdings. KAYSUN Holdings now has the
right to convert some or all of the principal amount under the Convertible Notes
and/or PIK Interest Notes (CL) into a number of fully paid and non-assessable
shares of Common Stock obtained by dividing the aggregate amount of the
Convertible Notes and PIK Interest Notes (CL) to be converted by $1.15, not to
exceed a maximum of 23,200,000 total Shares converted (the "Conversion Stock").
In connection with the assignment of the Debt to KAYSUN Holdings, Osmond
Acquisition and Day Holdings transferred, and KAYSUN Holdings assumed, the right
and obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement and the Shareholders
Agreement as those terms are defined below.

        The Loan Agreement prohibits the Company from issuing additional Shares
beyond the 3,122,154 Shares already issued and outstanding or reserved for
issuance pursuant to certain options and rights previously granted or
authorized, or any shares of preferred stock or any other equity interest
without the written consent of KAYSUN Holdings. The Loan Agreement does permit
the issuance of up to 2,677,846 options to directors, officers and employees of
the Company subject to certain limitations set forth in the Loan Agreement,
which limitations cannot be waived or modified without the written consent of
KAYSUN Holdings. The Loan Agreement also prohibits the Company from authorizing,
permitting, or carrying out any stock split, reverse stock split,
reclassification, recapitalization, payment of stock dividends or any other
transaction which either dilutes or increases the number of Shares or the share
of the Company's capital structure represented by one share of Common Stock.


                                      -31-
   32

        In connection with the Loan Agreement, the Company and the Lenders
entered into that certain Registration Rights Agreement (the "Registration
Rights Agreement") dated as of November 1, 2000 which became effective on
December 8, 2000. Also in connection with the Loan Agreement, the Lenders
entered into that certain Shareholders Agreement (the "Shareholders Agreement"),
dated as of November 1, 2000, which became effective on December 8, 2000. In
connection with the assignment of the Debt by Osmond Acquisition and Day
Holdings to KAYSUN Holdings, all rights and interests of the Lenders under the
Registration Rights Agreement and the Shareholders Agreement were assigned by
Osmond Acquisition and Day Holdings to KAYSUN Holdings.

        Under the Registration Rights Agreement, KAYSUN Holdings has the right
to demand that the Company effect three registrations of the Conversion Stock.
In addition, KAYSUN Holdings also has the right to participate in any
registrations by the Company of Shares not otherwise consisting of Conversion
Stock. In addition to the anti-dilution provisions contained in the Loan
Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement also prohibits the Company from
issuing any securities, preferred or common stock, debt convertible into common
stock, options, warrants, rights (including conversion or preemptive rights or
enter into any agreements for the purchase or acquisition from the Company of
any shares of its capital stock) to any person or entity except as permitted by
the Loan Agreement. The Company is also prohibited from permitting the increase
in the number of its authorized shares of Common Stock beyond the 29,000,000
Shares already authorized, except as permitted by the Loan Agreement. The
anti-dilution provisions contained in the Registration Rights Agreement may be
waived or modified only by express written consent of KAYSUN Holdings.

        Under the Shareholders Agreement, KAYSUN Holdings is obligated to cast
its votes held by virtue of its ownership interests in Conversion Stock as a
unit for the election of persons as directors of the Company. KAYSUN Holdings
also is obligated to cast its votes held by virtue of its ownership interests in
Conversion Stock as a unit with respect to any other matters which, by law or
the Company's certificate of incorporation or bylaws, require the action of the
Company's shareholders, or any other matters which may be submitted for a vote
to the shareholders of the Company.

        The Shareholders Agreement prohibits KAYSUN Holdings from selling,
transferring, assigning or otherwise disposing of, or encumbering mortgaging,
pledging or creating a security interest in, whether voluntarily or
involuntarily, any shares of Conversion Stock, except as permitted by the Loan
Agreement. Notwithstanding those restrictions, the Shareholders Agreement does
permit KAYSUN Holdings to transfer Conversion Stock to: any wholly-owned
corporation or affiliate of KAYSUN Holdings, an investment partnership, provided
that each partner is subject to the prior approval of each of Osmond Acquisition
and Day Holdings and that KAYSUN Holdings establishes and maintains effective
control over the affairs of the investment partnership, and to any other
transferee which Osmond Acquisition and Day Holdings may agree to in writing.
