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 stated in the Form 8-K dated March 11, 2011 filed by CytoDyn Inc. (the “Company”), on management’s recommendation, the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) concluded, and Pender Newkirk & Company LLP (“Pender Newkirk”), the Company’s independent auditors agreed, that the Company’s financial statements for the periods ending May 31, 2010, August 31, 2010, and November 30, 2010 should no longer be relied upon and should be restated. The Company’s board of directors was advised by outside legal counsel that compensation the Company previously paid to an employee and certain other non-employees who were acting as unlicensed, non-exempt broker-dealers soliciting investors on behalf of the Company from April 15, 2008 to February 18, 2011 was a violation of certain state and possibly federal securities laws. As a result, such investors and potentially others have rescission or monetary claims (“Claims”) against the Company, and the Company’s liability for these potential Claims is now being properly reflected in the Company’s financial statements.

The Company has until recently been focusing its efforts on filing amendments to its annual and quarterly reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q for the periods ending May 31, 2010, August 31, 2010, and November 30, 2010, respectively. While the Company recently filed an amended Form 10-K for the period ending May 31, 2010 on August 5, 2011, an amended Form 10-Q for the period ending August 31, 2010 on August 22, 2011, an amended Form 10-Q for the period ended November 30, 2010 on September 9, 2011, and a Form 10-Q for the period ending February 28, 2011 on October 7, 2011, the Company has not yet filed a Form 10-K for the period ending May 31, 2011. Because the Company is currently focusing its efforts on its Form 10-K for the period ending May 31, 2011, the Company does not anticipate being able to complete the Form 10-Q for the period ended August 31, 2011 by the required filing date of October 17, 2011.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 contains forward looking statements related to: (i) the Company’s intention to file a Form 10-K for the period ending May 31, 2011; and (ii) the nature and amount of the anticipated Claims. The Company wishes to advise readers that a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements including the fact that the preparation of the financial statements for such periods and the anticipated nature and amount of the Claims are subject to on-going preparation and review by the Company and Pender Newkirk, and accordingly are subject to change.
