PART III
NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-CEN, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

Mitek Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) is unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended September 30, 2023 (the “Form 10-K”) within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense for the reason described below.

As disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 27, 2022, the Company received formal notice of the resignation of its previous independent registered public accounting firm, and as disclosed in the Form 8-K filed on July 18, 2022, engaged a new independent registered public accounting firm to act as the Company’s registered public accounting firm. As a result of the Company’s transition to a new independent registered public accounting firm and the delays related to the filing of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2022, filed on October 28, 2022 and the Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2022, filed on October 28, 2022, the Company needed additional time to complete its procedures related to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, filed on July 31, 2023. The Company was then delayed in filing its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended December 31, 2022, March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023 (the “Form 10-Qs”), all of which were filed as of October 26, 2023. As a result of the delays in the filings of its Form 10-Qs, the Company was late in starting its year-end audit for its fiscal year ended September 30, 2023 and does not currently anticipate that it will be able to file the Form 10-K on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed filing date.
