Live Ventures Incorporated (the “Company”) is unable to file, without unreasonable effort and expense, its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2018 (the “Form 10-Q”). The Company requires additional time to finalize its financial statements to be filed as part of the Form 10-Q. The delay is principally due to both the Company and the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm’s continued exchange of information in connection with the review of the Company’s financial statements. The Company currently expects to file the Form 10-Q on or before May 21, 2018, the prescribed due date under the fifth calendar day extension period provided under Rule 12b-25.
