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

 

Opta Corporation (“Opta”) is unable to complete and file its Form 10-K for the period ended June 30, 2005 within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort and expense.

 

As previously reported in Opta’s Schedule 14C and Schedule 13E-3 filed on July 8, 2005 and Amendments No. 1 to Schedule 14C and Schedule 13E-3 filed on August 3, 2005, Opta is working diligently toward completing its going private transaction and is in the process of responding to the Commission’s comments with respect to such Schedules.  Opta had intended to complete its going private transaction prior to the deadline for filing its Form 10-K for the period ended June 30, 2005, but its efforts were delayed due to a series of transactions effected by Opta in the past few months to address the continuing losses at Opta Systems, LLC d/b/a GoVideo (“GoVideo”), Opta’s main operating subsidiary and the dissolution of Correlant Communications, Inc., Opta’s non-operating subsidiary.  Such events are described in Opta’s Form 8-Ks filed on July 19, 21, and 29, 2005.  Also as reported on Opta’s Form 8-Ks filed on September 26, 2005 and September 29, 2005, Opta recently dismissed its former accountant and engaged a new principal accountant on September 27, 2005 as part of a continuing effort to save costs.

 

Opta will continue to work toward filing its Form 10-K for the period ended June 30, 2005 as soon as available.

PART IV — OTHER INFORMATION

 

(1)

 

Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this notification

(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 ? If answer is no, identify report(s).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ý Yes    o No

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(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?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ý Yes    o 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.

 

 

 

 

 

As reported in Opta’s Form 8-Ks filed on July 19, 21, and 29, 2005, Opta effected a series of transactions at GoVideo as a result of the continuing losses at GoVideo.  Opta anticipates that there will be a significant change from the results of operations for the year ended June 30, 2004 compared to the year ended June 30, 2005.  An estimate of the results cannot be made at this time because Opta only recently engaged its new independent accountant on September 27, 2005.
