CLST
Holdings, Inc. (the
Company
)
cannot file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30,
2009 (the
Form 10-K
) by the
prescribed due date of March 1, 2010 because it has not yet finalized its
financial statements for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended November 30,
2009, and the audit of the Companys 2009 financial statements is ongoing.
The
Companys limited financial and human resources following the adoption of its
plan of dissolution has resulted in the delay of its preparation and review of
the Form 10-K. This delay could not
be avoided without unreasonable effort or expense. In accordance with Rule 12b-25
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Company anticipates
that the Form 10-K will be filed no later than the fifteenth calendar day
following the date on which the Form 10-K was due.

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.
|
The statements of operations included in the financial statements to be
attached to the Form 10-K to which this Notice of Late Filing on Form 12b-25
(
Form 12b-25
) relates will
reflect certain significant changes in the Companys results of operations for
the fiscal year ended November 30, 2009 (
fiscal
2009
) compared to the fiscal year ended November 30, 2008
(
fiscal 2008
). The reasons for some
of the significant changes are as follows:
On November 10, 2008, December 12, 2008 and February 13,
2009, the Company consummated three acquisitions of receivables portfolios (the
Receivable Purchases
). Fiscal 2009 will be the first full fiscal
year in which the Company will report a full twelve months of the performance
of the asset receivable portfolios. The
Company expects that there will be significant changes in the results of
operations (in particular, total revenues, interest income and net loss) from
the corresponding period for the last fiscal year as a result of the impact of
the Receivable Purchases.
Also, during fiscal 2009, the Company has been involved in extensive
litigation with Red Oak Fund, L.P. and certain of its affiliates (
Red Oak
). In connection with this litigation, the
Company has incurred substantial legal and professional costs.
While we have not finalized all of the analysis related to our year end
closing process, we expect to report net loss of approximately $5.4 million in
fiscal 2009 compared to $1.7 million in fiscal 2008, an increase in net loss of
approximately $3.7 million. This increase in net loss is primarily due to costs
related to our litigation with Red Oak and an increase in our provision for
doubtful accounts related to our asset receivable portfolios.
The Companys estimates of its operating results for fiscal 2009
contained in this Form 12b-25 should be considered preliminary, and are
subject to change to reflect any necessary corrections or adjustments, or
changes in accounting estimates, that are identified prior to the time the
Company finalizes its financial statements for fiscal 2009. The Companys
actual results of operation may differ significantly from the estimates
contained herein.
Certain information included herein may constitute
forward-looking statements for purposes of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and, as such, may
involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause
the actual results, performance, litigation results or achievements of the
Company to be materially different from future results, performance or
achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. When used
in this report, the words anticipates, estimates, believes, continues,
expects, intends, may, might, could, should, likely, plan, and
similar expressions are intended to be among the statements that identify
forward-looking statements. Statements of various factors that could cause the
actual results, performance or achievements of the Company or future events
relating to the Company to differ materially from the Companys expectations (
Cautionary Statements
) are disclosed, including, without
limitation, those discussed in the Risk Factors section in Part I, Item
1A of the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30,
2008, as amended and Part II, Item 1A of the Companys Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q for the quarter ended August 31, 2009, as amended, those
statements made in conjunction with the forward-looking statements and
otherwise herein. All forward-looking statements attributable to the Company
are expressly qualified in their entirety by the Cautionary Statements. We have
no intention, and disclaim any obligation, to update or revise any
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
results or otherwise. Among the factors
that could cause actual results, performance litigation results or achievement
to differ materially from those described or implied in the forward-looking
statements, include but are not limited to the risks that additional or new
information may arise during the Companys completion of its audit for fiscal
2009 which causes the Company to revise or change the estimates contained in
this Form 12b-25 or any other subsequent information which impacts the
estimated results reported in this Form 12b-25, including the review of
the Companys financial statements by its independent auditors.
