If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate)

 

  (a) The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense;

¨

 (b) The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, 11-K, Form N-SAR or From N-CSR, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report of transition report on Form 10-Q, or portion thereof will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and
  (c) The accountant’s statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.

  

PART III
NARRATIVE

 

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

 

Appliance Recycling Centers of America, Inc. (the “Company”) is unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2018 (the “Form 10-Q”) within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort and expense. The delaying of the filing of the Form 10-Q will allow the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm sufficient time to complete their work on the review of the Company’s financial statements. The specific date of filing the Form 10-Q is not yet known, but the Company currently does not expect to file the Form 10-Q within the extension period of five calendar days provided under Rule 12b-25 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
