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.
comScore, Inc. (“comScore” or the “Company”) is unable to file, without unreasonable effort and expense, its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 because it requires additional time to complete the preparation of its financial statements included therein, due to a previously disclosed internal investigation and restatement of certain financial statements of the Company. These matters were discussed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 15, 2016 (the “Restatement 8-K”) and subsequent filings.

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  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.
A discussion of the estimated effects of errors with respect to non-monetary transactions contributing to the need for a restatement of certain Company financial statements was set forth in Item 4.02 of the Restatement 8-K. The Company’s consolidated financial statements will reflect additional accounting adjustments in addition to those described in the Restatement 8-K that may arise as a result of the efforts described therein. At this time, the Company does not plan to provide further updates regarding any such additional adjustments until the consolidated financial statements are filed.
