PART III

NARRATIVE

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

Blue Coat Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) is unable to file timely an annual report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended April 30, 2006, because it is currently conducting a voluntary review of its historical practices in granting stock options to members of senior management and employees of the Company. The Company’s Board of Directors has appointed a committee of independent directors to conduct this review. The committee is being assisted by independent legal counsel and accounting experts. The review covers all option grants since the Company’s initial public offering in November 1999. The independent committee has also advised the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, of its review. The independent committee has reached a preliminary conclusion that the actual measurement dates for financial accounting purposes of certain stock option grants issued in the past likely differ from the recorded grant dates of such awards. The independent committee has not completed its investigation and is continuing its review of these matters. Based on the preliminary conclusions of the independent committee, the Company believes it may record additional non-cash charges for stock-based compensation expense, but is not yet able to determine the amount of such charges or the resulting tax impact of these actions. The Company similarly is not yet able to determine whether any such compensation charges would be material and require the Company to restate previously issued financial statements. Until the independent committee’s review is completed, the Company will be unable to finalize its financial statements and file its Form 10-K for fiscal 2006.

(2) Have all other period 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 the answer is no, identify report(s).    x  Yes    ¨  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?    ¨  Yes    x  No    (See explanation below)

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 May 24, 2006, the Company issued a press release containing its unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 2006 and its statement of operations for the fiscal year then ended. As was disclosed in those financial statements (the “2006 Earnings Release Financial Statements”), the Company’s results of operations for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2006 changed significantly from its results of operations for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005. The Company’s net revenues increased from $96.2 million for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005 to $141.5 million for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2006. The Company’s net income increased from $5.4 million for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005 to $8.0 million for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2006. The Company’s net income per diluted share increased from $0.41 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005 to $0.54 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2006.

As noted in Part 3 above, the independent committee has not completed its investigation and is continuing its review of the Company’s historical practices in granting stock options. Based on the preliminary conclusions of the independent committee, the Company believes it may record additional non-cash charges for stock-based compensation expense, but is not yet able to determine the amount of such charges or the resulting tax impact of these actions. The Company similarly is not yet able to determine whether any such compensation charges would be material and require the Company to restate previously issued financial statements, or whether any such compensation charges would materially affect the 2006 Earnings Release Financial Statements. Until the independent committee’s review is completed, the Company will be unable to finalize its financial statements for fiscal 2006.
