If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate)

 

	(a)	The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense;
[X]	(b)	The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, 11-K or Form N-CEN or Form N-CSR, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report or transition report on Form 10-Q or subject distribution report on Form 10-D, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and
	(c)	The accountant’s statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.

 

PART III – NARRATIVE

 

State below in reasonable detail the reasons 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.

 

The Registrant is unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended July 31, 2024 (the “Quarterly Report”), in the time period prescribed for such filing without unreasonable effort or expense. The Registrant is in the process of finalizing certain amendments to its revolving credit facility and warehouse loan facility, the results of which will impact the Registrant’s financial disclosures in the Quarterly Report. As a result, the Registrant needs additional time to finalize the financial disclosures that will be included in the Quarterly Report. The Registrant expects to file the Quarterly Report within the five-day extension period afforded by Rule 12b-25 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

		[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.

 

As previously disclosed in the Registrant’s press release dated September 4, 2024, announcing its earnings for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Registrant expects to report in its consolidated statements of operations to be included in the Quarterly Report a decrease in total revenues of $19.0 million, or 5.2%, compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, and a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $974,000, compared to net income attributable to common shareholders of $4.2 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 2024. These anticipated results are management’s current estimates and are subject to change. Actual results will be included in the Quarterly Report as filed.
