PART III
NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why the Form 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report portion thereof could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
Internap Network Services Corporation (the “Company”) requires additional time to prepare and file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 (the “Form 10-K”). As announced in its press release dated February 24, 2005, the Company is restating its audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003, and its unaudited financial statements for the quarters ended March 31, 2004, June 30, 2004 and September 30, 2004. The Company is currently in the process of conducting additional analysis on historical information and records and completing the audit of the 2004 financial statements and restatement of prior periods. As a result of the breadth of internal work and analysis being performed, it is necessary to delay the filing of the Form 10-K in order to allow additional time to prepare the Company’s financial statements. Accordingly, the Company will utilize the 15-day extension to file the Form 10-K. The Company expects to file the Form 10-K on, or before, March 31, 2005.
As announced on February 24, 2005, we have identified a number of deficiencies in the internal control over financial reporting and a number of these deficiencies in the aggregate constitute a “material weakness” in our financial reporting process as defined by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) in Auditing Standard No. 2. As defined by the PCAOB, a material weakness is a significant deficiency, or a combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. The deficiencies in internal control, which our management believes constitute a material weakness in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting in the following areas: (1) financial reporting, particularly in the accounting for leases and leasehold improvements, (2) purchases, accounts payable and fixed assets and (3) information technology general computer controls.
Consequently, management believes that it will be unable to conclude that the company’s internal controls over financial reporting are effective as of December 31, 2004, and therefore, expects that PricewaterhouseCoopers, the company’s independent registered public accounting firm, will issue an adverse opinion with respect to the company’s internal controls over financial reporting. A full discussion of the company’s internal controls will be included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K.
