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 disclosed in a Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 7, 2014, Corinthian Colleges, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Operating Agreement (the “Operating Agreement”) with the U.S. Department of Education (“ED”) which became effective on July 8, 2014, and which, among other things, required the Company to produce certain documents within certain time periods, teach out and close 12 of its schools, and pursue selling the remainder of its Title IV-eligible schools.  The efforts required to comply with the terms of the Operating Agreement have put significant constraints on the Company’s resources, preventing it from obtaining and compiling the information required to complete and file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, or its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 30, 2014.  The Company could not eliminate the delay without unreasonable effort and expense.  In addition, the uncertain outcome of the school sales that the Company is pursuing creates uncertainties regarding the valuation of the Company’s assets, as well as its financial condition and results of operations as of and for the three months ended September 30, 2014.

 

 

 

PART IV — OTHER INFORMATION

 

(1)	Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this notification
	Anna Marie Dunlap		(714)		427-3000
	(Name)		(Area Code)		(Telephone Number)
(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).
					o Yes    x No
	Form 10-K for fiscal year ended June 30, 2014
(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.

 

During the first nine months of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 (the latest period for which the Company filed periodic reports) the Company’s revenue declined by approximately 10 percent, and income (loss) from continuing operations before provision for income taxes declined by 151%.  The decline in revenue during the first nine months was due to an approximately 11.3% decrease in average student population, partially offset by an approximate 1.4% increase in average revenue per student during the period. The decline in average student population was largely due to a decline in exclusively online population and a reduction in ATB students.  At March 31, 2014, student population was 74,498 compared with 86,297 at March 31, 2013, a decrease of 13.7%.  The Company has previously reported that revenue and operating income for continuing operations for the full year ended June 30, 2014 would reflect similar or worse deterioration on a year over year basis. Likewise, the deterioration the Company experienced in revenue and operating income during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2014 continued in the first quarter of fiscal 2015.  This deterioration was further exacerbated after the Company entered into the Operating Agreement with ED in which it agreed to teach-out or attempt to sell its U.S. campuses.  Accordingly, the Company expects revenue and operating income for continuing operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 to reflect substantial deterioration on a year over year basis compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2013.

 

Further, the Company has incurred significant charges related to the sale of certain student notes receivable completed on August 20, 2014, as previously disclosed in its Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 25, 2014.  The Company also expects to incur significant charges related to the impairment of long-lived assets resulting from the potential sale of its schools (as discussed in Part III above).  Since the school sales have not been completed, and the outcome of such sales is uncertain, the Company is unable to quantify the amount of impairment charges related to the sales at this time.

 

Liquidity Update

 

The Company has implemented substantial cost reductions and will need to continue to do so.  The Company also continues to comply with its obligations under the Operating Agreement to attempt to sell its U.S. campuses.  Although the Company has been able to complete some asset sales, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to sell all or any substantial portion of its U.S. campuses.  The Company continues to need additional liquidity to fund its operations, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain any such additional needed liquidity on a timely basis, on terms acceptable to it, or at all. Failure to timely complete such asset sales would further exacerbate the Company’s existing liquidity constraints, as would any future withholding of Title IV funds by ED, or further restrictions on funding or operations by accrediting agencies, state agencies, or other funding sources.
