Company: Orion Energy Systems, Inc.
Filing Type: Form 8-K (Current Report)
Date of Report: February 14, 2012

Key Financial Metrics
The filing text does not provide specific values for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. The report focuses exclusively on regulatory compliance and listing status rather than financial performance data.
Material Changes and Delisting Notice
- Listing Status: The Company is not in compliance with NYSE Amex LLC Sections 134 and 1101 due to the late filing of the Q3 2012 Form 10-Q.
- Compliance Plan: The Company must submit a plan of compliance to regain listing standards by May 14, 2012.
- Reason for Delay: The delay is attributed to complexities in restating financial statements to recognize revenue from solar photovoltaic system sales using the percentage-of-completion method instead of the multiple deliverable elements method.
- Projected Filing: The Company aims to file the Q3 2012 Form 10-Q in May or June 2012, contingent upon completing a re-audit of fiscal 2011 year-end financial statements.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Management Commentary: Management states it will work expeditiously to complete the re-audit and file the overdue report. The Exchange will evaluate the compliance plan by May 14, 2012, to determine if the Company has demonstrated a reasonable ability to regain compliance.
Risks: If the compliance plan is not accepted or if progress is not made, the Company faces potential delisting. The ongoing restatement process introduces uncertainty regarding the timing of future financial reporting.
