Advanced Emissions Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 with respect to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2015. As previously disclosed, the Company is performing a review of its accounting practices and internal controls over financial reporting and has engaged Hein & Associates LLP to serve as its independent registered public accounting firm. The Company has identified various material weaknesses as disclosed in the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Also as previously disclosed, the Company's previously issued financial statements for the fiscal years 2011 and 2012 and the first three quarters of 2013 (the “Restatement Periods”) should not be relied upon, and the Company will file restated financial information for the Restatement Periods. The Company’s accounting review and preparation of restated financial statements is ongoing.
The Company’s management and its finance and accounting team are working diligently to complete the accounting review however, the Company is not able to timely complete the preparation of its financial statements and related disclosures to be included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q without unreasonable effort or expense.
