x Yes    o 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    o 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 statements of operations included in the financial statements to be attached to the Report on Form 10-K to which this Notice of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 relates will reflect certain significant changes in the Company’s results of operations for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2007 (“fiscal 2007”) compared to the fiscal year ended November 30, 2006 (“fiscal 2006”). The reasons for some of the significant changes are as follows:

 

As previously reported in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended August 31, 2007, the Company sold its U.S. and Miami-based Latin America operations as well as its operations in Mexico and Chile during fiscal 2007. Therefore, we will reclassify all of those businesses as discontinued operations for both fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2007 in the Report on Form 10-K.  This reporting will be consistent with our prior filings on Form 10-Q for fiscal 2007.

 

While we have not finalized all of the analysis related to our year end closing process, we expect to report net income of approximately $26.1 million in fiscal 2007 compared to $4.8 million in fiscal 2006, an increase of approximately $21.3 million. This increase in net income is primarily due to the sale of our U.S. and Miami operations during fiscal 2007.

 

The Company’s estimates of its operating results for fiscal 2007 contained in this Form 12b-25 Filing should be considered preliminary, and are subject to change to reflect any necessary corrections or adjustments, or changes in accounting estimates, that are identified prior to the time the Company finalizes its financial statements for fiscal 2007. The Company’s actual results of operation may differ significantly from the estimates contained herein.

 

Some of the statements in this Form 12b-25 Filing, including those that contain the words “expect,” anticipate,” “believes,” and “estimates,” and other similar expressions, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Those forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the Company’s actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by those forward-looking statements. Among the factors that could cause actual results, performance or achievement to differ materially from those described or implied in the forward-looking statements, include but are not limited to the risks that additional or new information may arise during the Company’s completion of its audit for fiscal 2007 which causes the Company to revise or change the estimates contained in this Form 12b-25 Filing or any other subsequent information which impacts the estimated results reported in this Form 12b-25 Filing, including the review of the Company’s financial statements by its independent auditors.
