If the notification relates to a portion of the filing checked above, identify the Item(s) to which the notification relates:
 


 
 

 

PART I – REGISTRANT INFORMATION
 
ITT Educational Services, Inc.
 
Full Name of Registrant
 
   
Former Name if Applicable
 
13000 N. Meridian Street
 
Address of Principal Executive Office (Street and Number)
 
Carmel, IN 46032
 
City, State and Zip Code
 
 
PART II – RULES 12b-25(b) AND (c)
 
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)
 
o
(a)  The reason described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense;
(b)  The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, Form 11-K, Form N-SAR 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 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 (the “Form 10-K”) by the prescribed date of March 3, 2014, because of delays in the completion of its financial statements, footnotes and related disclosures in the Form 10-K, which delays could not be eliminated by the Registrant without unreasonable effort and expense.  Although management of the Registrant has been working diligently to complete all of the required analyses and reviews, issues relating to the accounting treatment related to the variable interest entity involved in the PEAKS Private Student Loan Program have caused the delays associated with completing the Registrant’s financial statements and related disclosures.  The Securities and Exchange Commission’s ongoing investigation of the Registrant (previously disclosed) related to the Registrant’s actions and accounting associated with, among other things, the PEAKS Private Student Loan Program has led to additional analyses and reviews being conducted by the Registrant related to the accounting treatment of that program, which additional analyses and reviews have resulted in unanticipated delays in completing the Registrant’s financial statements and related disclosures.  The Registrant intends to submit a preclearance request to the Office of the Chief Accountant of the Securities and Exchange Commission relative to the accounting treatment related to the variable interest entity, and the Registrant also will continue to work to complete other items necessary to finalize the Registrant’s financial statements, footnotes and related disclosures.  The Registrant intends to file the Form 10-K as soon as practicable.  Due to the uncertainty around the timing of completion of the necessary reviews and analyses, however, there can be no assurance that the Registrant will be able to file the Form 10-K within the 15-day extension period.

(Name)

(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).
 
ý 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?
 
o Yes     ý  No
 
While the Registrant does not at this time anticipate 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 Form 10-K, as discussed above, the Registrant’s financial statements have not yet been completed, and therefore significant changes could be included in the Form 10-K once the financial statements are finalized.
 
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.
