Survey Results: Ability to Meet Accelerated Deadlines

Starting in 2005, companies that are "accelerated filers" must file their Form 10-Ks within 60 days from the end of their fiscal year and Form 10-Qs within 35 days of their quarter ends.


1. Next year, our company: (Total responses: n=40)
n=14 (35.00%) should have no difficulty with meeting the 10-K deadline of 60 days
n=13 (32.50%) might have no difficulty with meeting the 10-K deadline of 60 days
n=13 (32.50%) will definitely have difficulty of meeting the 10-K deadline of 60 days

2. This year, our company: (Total responses: n=39)
n=27 (69.23%) is having no difficulty meeting the 10-Q deadline of 40 days
n=9 (23.08%) is having some difficulty meeting the 10-Q deadline of 40 days
n=3 (7.69%) is having difficultly meeting the 10-Q deadline of 40 days

3. Next year, our company: (Total responses: n=40)
n=10 (25.00%) should have no difficulty with meeting the 10-Q deadline of 35 days
n=22 (55.00%) might have no difficulty with meeting the 10-Q deadline of 35 days
n=8 (20.00%) will definitely have difficulty with meeting the 10-Q deadline of 35 days

4. Between the following two choices, our company will have more difficulty with meeting: (Total responses: n=40)
n=25 (62.50%) 10-K deadline of 60 days
n=15 (37.50%) 10-Q deadline of 35 days
