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.

Astrotech Corporation (the “Company”) could not, without unreasonable effort and expense, file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 (the “Annual Report”), within the prescribed time period.  On June 30, 2013,  the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants in its Loan Agreement, dated as of October 21, 2010, between the Company, Astrotech Space Operations, Inc. and Astrotech Florida Holdings, Inc., as Borrowers, and American Bank, N.A., as the Lender (the “Loan Agreement”).  The Company is required to provide a forward looking forecast to the lender and it is uncertain whether the Company will be able to remain in compliance with the covenants in its Loan Agreement. Management is diligently working with the lender to obtain a waiver; however the Company cannot assure that it will be successful.  Any non-compliance with the covenants in the Loan Agreement would place the Company’s debt in technical default and require a reclassification of the debt from long-term to short term at  June 30, 2013; therefore causing the Company’s short term liabilities to be greater than its short term assets.

 

The Company expects to file its Annual Report as soon as practicable, and in no event later than the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date.

Part IV – Other Information

(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        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.

In the event that the Company is unable to obtain a waiver from the lender, the Company expects to reclassify all long-term debt for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 as current debt, such that the current debt reported for 2013 is expected to be approximately $6.0 million, as compared to current debt of $372,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.

In addition, any statements concerning future financial performance, ongoing business strategies or prospects, and possible future actions, are also forward-looking statements. We caution readers that results predicted by forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, those relating to our future business prospects, revenues, working capital, liquidity, capital needs, interest costs and income are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Such material risks and uncertainties are set forth in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, each as filed with the SEC. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect the Company’s opinions only as of the date of this Form 12b-25.
