On March 30, 2009, WCI Communities, Inc. (the “Company”) filed Form 12b-25, announcing that the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 could not be filed within the prescribed time period. On August 4, 2008, the Company and 126 of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (“Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court of the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The reorganization cases are being jointly administered under Case No. 08-11643. The Debtors are managing their businesses as “debtors in possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.
The closing of the books and the process of preparing the Company’s financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2008 is taking longer than expected due to manpower constraints, the focus of the Company’s resources on the preparation of documents and schedules related to the Company’s bankruptcy proceedings, and the length of time needed to complete detailed, updated impairment analyses. The Company intends to file its Form 10-K as soon as practicable after completion of its financial reporting process for the calendar year ended December 31, 2008.
