PART III — NARRATIVE

 

 

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

 

Corinthian Colleges, Inc. (the “Company”) is unable to file its report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 within the prescribed time period. As previously announced, a special committee of independent directors (the “Special Committee”) has been formed to review the Company’s historic stock option grants. The Special Committee has retained independent counsel and is reviewing option grants dating back to the Company’s initial public offering in 1999. As a result of the Special Committee’s ongoing review, the Company has not yet been able to finalize its financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2006. The Company plans to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 as soon as practicable, although the Company cannot assure that it will be able to file its Form 10-Q by November 14, 2006 (the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date for the Company’s Form 10-Q).

(2) Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s).    Yes  ¨    No  x

 

  The Company was unable to file its report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 within the prescribed time period.

 

 

 

(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?    Yes  x    No  ¨

 

If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

 

The Company currently expects to report decreased net income of approximately $6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2005, due primarily to a decline in revenues and an increase in general and administrative costs. The decline in revenues is primarily attributable to the divestiture of our corporate training division, CDI Education, in October 2005. The increase in general and administrative costs is primarily attributable to an increase in travel related costs associated with training and implementation of a new admissions process, and outside professional service fees of approximately $1.8 million related to the Special Committee review, disclosed above.

 

Certain statements in this notification of late filing on Form 12b-25 may be deemed to be forward-looking statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company intends that all such statements be subject to the “safe-harbor” provisions of that Act. Such statements include, but are not limited to, the Company’s statements regarding anticipated changes in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year. Many important factors may cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those discussed in any such forward-looking statements, including risks and uncertainties arising out of the Company’s ongoing review of its stock option grants and developments in regulatory and legal guidance regarding stock option grants and accounting for such grants, as well as the other risks and uncertainties described in the Company’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The historical results achieved by the Company are not necessarily indicative of its future prospects. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
