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.
Nuo Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) is unable, without unreasonable effort or expense, to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 (“Form 10-K”) within the prescribed time period. As a result of cost containment measures and management’s focus on resolving the Company’s liquidity constraints, the Company requires additional time to complete the presentation of its financial statements, and the analysis and review thereof by its independent registered public accounting firm. In accordance with Rule 12b-25 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Company intends to file the Form 10-K no later than the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date.
Forward-Looking Statements
The foregoing statement about the anticipated timing of the filing of the Form 10-K as well as the statements below regarding the anticipated changes in results of operations are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements are based upon information presently available to the Company and assumptions that it believes to be reasonable. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon forward looking statements in this notification of late filing. The Company undertakes no obligation to revise or update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this filing, except as required by law.

(2) 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?

|
(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 [X] 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.
The Company anticipates the earnings statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 will reflect the Company’s determination that the remaining intangible assets totaling approximately $7.0 million should be fully charged off as of the year end reporting date due to the substantial uncertainty concerning the Company as a going concern and the assessment that it was more likely than not that the carrying value of the intangible assets would not be recovered from future cash flows.
Nuo Therapeutics, Inc. |
(Name of Registrant as Specified in Charter) |
has caused this notification to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
