PART III - NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail 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.
Immersion Corporation (the "Company") is unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2025 (the "Form 10-Q"), within the prescribed time period, without unreasonable effort or expense.
As previously reported by the Company in its Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on July 30, 2025, and September 9, 2025, in July 2025, certain information regarding the recording of cost of digital sales was brought to the attention of the management of Barnes & Noble Education, Inc. ("Barnes & Noble Education" or "BNED"), which is a consolidated subsidiary of the Company. BNED's management promptly informed the Audit Committee of the BNED Board of Directors (the "BNED Audit Committee"), which caused the BNED Audit Committee to commence an internal investigation with the assistance of outside counsel and advisors.
On July 30, 2025, the Company filed a Form 12b-25 notifying the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") that the Company would be unable to timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025. On September 9, 2025, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K announcing that on September 8, 2025, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of the Company concluded that the Company's previously-issued unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the fiscal third quarter and nine months ended January 31, 2025; the fiscal second quarter and six months ended October 31, 2024; and the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024, contained in its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q (the "Non-Reliance Periods"), as well as its disclosures related to such financial statements, including any reports; earnings releases; investor presentations; and related communications issued by or on behalf of the Company with respect to the Non-Reliance Periods (the "Previously Issued Financial Information"), should no longer be relied upon. The determination by the Board was made upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee of the Board (the "Audit Committee") and after consultation with the Company's management team.
As a result, the Company expects to restate the financial statements for the Non-Reliance Periods (the "Restatement"), which will be corrected within its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025, when filed. However, the final determination regarding the scope of any such Restatement will depend on the completion of the Audit Committee's review, in connection with the BNED Audit Committee's review, and the ongoing work of the Company and its independent registered public accounting firm. The Company is also evaluating potential accounting adjustments for BNED unrelated to the investigation that could impact the Non-Reliance Periods. It is possible that the magnitude of such a Restatement may change as additional items may be identified as this work is completed.
As a result of the ongoing review of the Audit Committee, in connection with the BNED Audit Committee's review and the Company's work with respect to the Restatement, the Company is unable to complete the financial reporting process and preparation of its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2025, and does not currently expect to file the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q within the five-day extension period prescribed by Rule 12b-25 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company's ability to complete its financial reporting process and preparation of the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2025, continues to depend on the progress of and ultimate conclusion of the investigation.

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 answer is no, identify report(s). ☐ Yes ☒ No
(a)
Immersion's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025 has not been filed.
|
|
(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? ☒ 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.
In June 2024, the Company acquired a controlling interest in Barnes & Noble Education. BNED is one of the largest contract operators of physical and virtual bookstores for college and university campuses and K-12 institutions across the United States. BNED is also one of the largest textbook wholesalers and inventory management hardware and software providers. The financial results of Barnes & Noble Education have been included in our consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date of June 10, 2024.
The following financial information for the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2025, is preliminary, unaudited, and subject to change. The Company does not expect the investigation to impact total revenues, which are estimated to be approximately $292.5 million for the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2025, compared to $99.4 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $193.1 million. The change in the Company's revenues for the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2025, compared to the second quarter ended June 30, 2024, are primarily due to the inclusion of Barnes & Noble Education's financial results for the whole fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2025.
Given the ongoing investigation, the Company is unable to conclude as to whether there will be significant changes in the results of operations for the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2025, compared to the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.
The Company did not recast the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended July 31, 2024 because the financial reporting processes in place at that time included certain procedures that were completed only on a quarterly basis. Consequently, to recast this period would have been impractical and would not have been cost-justified. Due to the change in our fiscal year end, the second quarter ended June 30, 2024, is the most comparable period previously reported.
