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.

As previously announced, the board of directors of Electronics for Imaging, Inc. (“EFI” or the “Company”) has established a special committee to perform an independent investigation of the Company’s historical stock option grants. The special committee will be assisted by independent legal counsel. The special committee is in the process of reviewing the Company’s past option grant practices and has not yet reached any conclusions or completed its work.

Information may be obtained in connection with the ongoing investigation that may require the Company to change the historical measurement dates for certain stock options granted in previous periods and/or in the quarter ended September 30, 2006, which could result in recording non-cash charges for previously unrecognized compensation expense. This may or may not have a material adverse effect on its results for those periods or the current period. Based on the outcome of the special committee’s investigation, the Company may conclude that the measurement dates for options granted differ from the recorded measurement dates. The Company may also conclude that the financial statements issued by the Company with respect to prior periods should not be relied upon.

As a result of the investigation, EFI will delay the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2006. EFI plans to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 as soon as practicable, but does not expect that it will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the required filing date as prescribed in Rule 12b-25. EFI will not be in a position to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 until the special committee’s review is complete and the Company’s independent registered public accountants complete their procedures.

(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 the answer is no, identify


report(s).    x  Yes    ¨  No

 

 

 

(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?    x  Yes    ¨  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.

On October 24, 2006, EFI released its revenue and net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 and furnished this information on a current report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Revenue for the third quarter of 2006 was $138.2 million compared to revenue of $142.1 million for the third quarter of 2005. Net loss on a GAAP basis for the third quarter of 2006 was $(27.3) million, or $(0.49) per diluted share, compared to net income of $18.5 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2005.

As previously announced, in the third quarter of 2006 the Company recognized a tax charge related to a plan to align the manufacturing and distribution of several product lines with that of its controller business. In its current report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 24, 2006, the Company announced that the tax charge for this alignment was $35.7 million.

For the reasons described under Part III above, the Company’s results, including for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, may change as a result of the investigation being conducted by the special committee of the board of directors.

In addition, the expected delay in filing our 10-Q could result in a delisting of the Company’s common stock by Nasdaq, or in the declaration of an event of default under our outstanding convertible debentures, if we are not able to obtain a waiver or to cure such default in a timely manner.
