Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On August 20, 2014, Iteris, Inc. (the Company) issued a press release announcing its preliminary summary unaudited condensed consolidated financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2014. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The information in this item, including the accompanying exhibit, is being furnished and shall not be deemed filed for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section.

Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On August 18, 2014, the Company received a letter from the NYSE MKT LLC (the Exchange) indicating that the Exchange has determined that the Company is not in compliance with Sections 134 and 1101 of the Exchanges Company Guide due to the Companys inability to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 (the 10-Q) with the SEC by the requisite deadline. The Company received a similar letter from the Exchange dated July 17, 2014, determining that the delay in the Companys filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 (the 10-K) resulted in the Companys noncompliance with the same Sections of the Exchanges Company Guide.
The Company previously submitted a compliance plan to the Exchange detailing the action the Company intends to take to regain compliance with the continued listing standards of the Exchange. The compliance plan was accepted by the Exchange, and due to the similar nature of the deficiencies in the current letter from the Exchange and the initial letter from the Exchange, the Exchange is not requiring the Company to resubmit another compliance plan; however, if the Company does not (i) file the 10-K with the SEC by October 15, 2014, (ii) file the 10-Q by November 14, 2014 or (iii) make progress consistent with its compliance plan, then the Exchange will initiate delisting proceedings as it deems appropriate.
As previously announced, the Company is continuing to work with its auditors to complete its audit for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 and anticipates filing both the 10-K and 10-Q in advance of the October 15 deadline in the compliance plan.

The foregoing estimates are unaudited and have not been reviewed by Iteris independent accountants, and they are subject to change pending completion of the companys first quarter fiscal 2015 review.
On August 15, 2014, the company filed a Form 12b-25 (NT 10-Q) Notification of Late Filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) indicating a delay in filing the companys Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for its fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2014 (the Form 10-Q), which delay was primarily due to the additional time that is necessary to complete the fiscal 2014 audit, and the cascading impact on the review of its financial statements for the first fiscal quarter of 2015.
On August 18, 2014, the company received a letter from the NYSE MKT LLC (the Exchange) indicating that the Exchange has determined that the company is not in compliance with Sections 134 and 1101 of the Exchanges Company Guide due to the companys inability to file the Form 10-Q with the SEC by the requisite deadline. The company received a similar letter from the Exchange dated July 17, 2014, determining that the delay in the companys filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 (fiscal 2014) resulted in the companys noncompliance with the same Sections of the Exchanges Company Guide.
The company previously submitted a compliance plan to the Exchange detailing the action the company intends to take to regain compliance with the continued listing standards of the Exchange. The compliance plan was accepted by the Exchange, and due to the similar nature of the deficiencies in the current letter from the Exchange and the initial letter from the Exchange, the Exchange is not requiring the company to resubmit another compliance plan; however, if the company does not (i) file Form 10-K with the SEC by October 15, 2014, (ii) file the Form 10-Q by November 14, 2014, or (iii) make progress consistent with its compliance plan, then the Exchange will initiate delisting proceedings as it deems appropriate.
As previously announced, the company is continuing to work with its auditors to complete its fiscal 2014 audit and anticipates filing both the 10-K and 10-Q in advance of the October 15 deadline in the compliance plan.
Abbas Mohaddes, the companys CEO noted, We believe we are nearing the completion of our fiscal 2014 audit and plan to work diligently to complete such audit and our first quarter review as soon as possible. In the interim, our business continues to demonstrate strength with another quarter of cash growth and higher revenues, particularly in our Roadway Sensors business, which posted record revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2015. We have also made significant progress in terms of R&D and partnerships within iPerform, and we have continued to expand our backlog in our Transportation Systems business.
