PART III — NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

As previously announced, the Board of Directors of Electronics for Imaging, Inc. (“EFI” or the “Company”) has established a Special Committee (the “Committee”) to perform an independent investigation of the Company’s historical stock option grant practices. The Committee is assisted by independent legal and forensic accounting advisors. The Committee’s investigation is ongoing.

The Company may determine that it has failed to properly account for stock options granted in previous periods and/or in the year ended December 31, 2006, which could result among other things, in recording charges for previously unrecognized compensation expense. This may or may not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results for those periods or the current period. The Company may also conclude, among other things, that the financial statements issued by the Company with respect to prior periods should not be relied upon.

EFI will delay the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 while the Committee’s investigation is ongoing. EFI plans to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 and its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 as soon as practicable, but does not expect that the aforementioned filings will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the required filing date as prescribed in Rule 12b-25. EFI will not be in a position to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, or its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, until, among other things, the Committee’s review is complete, preparation of the related financial statements is completed, and the Company’s independent registered public accountants complete their procedures.

On November 17, 2006, the Company filed a report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which disclosed: (i) the receipt of a Nasdaq Staff Determination notice issued as a result of EFI’s previously announced review of stock option grants and the subsequent delay in filing its Form 10-Q; (ii) the initiation of an informal inquiry by the Securities and Exchange Commission related to the Company’s stock option grant practices; and (iii) the receipt of a notice of a purported compliance deficiency from the trustee under the indenture governing EFI’s 1.50% Convertible Senior Debentures due 2023.

On November 22, 2006, the Company filed a report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which disclosed the filing of two shareholder lawsuits alleging, among other things, breach of fiduciary duty for improperly backdating certain grants of EFI stock options to officers and directors of the Company.

On February 26, 2007, a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel granted EFI’s request for continued listing of its common stock on The Nasdaq Global Select Market subject to certain conditions relating to the Company’s ability to provide information with respect to the stock option investigation and the filing of its periodic reports and any related restatements.

Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2006

  

 

(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?    x  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.

On January 30, 2007, EFI released its preliminary revenue and net income for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2006 and furnished this information on a current report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Preliminary revenue for the fourth quarter and year ended 2006 was $153.9 million and $563.7 million, respectively, as compared to revenue of $145.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2005 and $468.5 million for the year ended 2005. Preliminary net income on a GAAP basis for the fourth quarter and year ended 2006 was $7.1 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, and $3.7 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, respectively, as compared to net income of $11.4 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2005 and a net loss of $4.1 million, or $0.07 per diluted share for the year ended 2005.

For the reasons described under Part III above, the Company’s results, including for the year ended December 31, 2006 are described as preliminary and are subject to change.

In addition, the expected delays in filing our 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 and our 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 could result in a delisting of the Company’s common stock by Nasdaq, or in the acceleration of the maturity of our outstanding convertible debentures due to an event of default that has occurred thereunder. As of the date of this filing, the holders of our outstanding convertible debentures have not accelerated the maturity of such debentures.
