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.
 

ITT Educational Services, Inc. (the “Company”) has determined that it is unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 (the “Form 10-Q”) by the filing deadline and that it will not file the Form 10-Q within the five-day extension permitted by Rule 12b-25 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).  On September 16, 2016, the Company and its subsidiaries ESI Service Corp. and Daniel Webster College, Inc. (the “Subsidiaries”) ceased operations and commenced bankruptcy proceedings (the “Chapter 7 Cases”) by filing voluntary petitions for relief under the provisions of Chapter 7 of Title 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C. sections 101 et seq. in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Indiana, Indianapolis Division. The Chapter 7 Cases are pending as In re ITT Educational Services, Inc. (Case No. 16-07207-7A), In re ESI Service Corp. (Case No. 16-07208-JJG-7A), and In re Daniel Webster College, Inc. (Case No. 16-07209-7A).  

Deborah J. Caruso has been appointed as the Trustee (the “Trustee) in the Chapter 7 Cases and will liquidate the Company’s and the Subsidiaries’ remaining assets.  All of the Company's and the Subsidiaries’ material business activities have ceased.  Neither the Company nor the Trustee will have access to the Company’s former accounting staff or a registered independent public accounting firm and, therefore, no longer have the capability to prepare the financial statements and other disclosures required for the Form 10-Q or any other periodic reports that may be required to be filed thereafter pursuant to the Exchange Act.  As a result, the Company and the Trustee, on the Company’s behalf, lack the resources and personnel to prepare and file any future reports with the SEC and do not intend to make any additional filings with the SEC.
