Conn's, Inc. (the "Company") is unable to timely file its Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q for the quarter ended July 31, 2006 because of its previously
announced internal review of its accounting for its interest in securitized
assets, which may be understated. The Company believes that it has made
substantial progress in the completion of its review and is working closely with
its independent accounting firm in completing this process. The Company is
focused on resolving these issues as quickly as possible and plans to file its
Form 10-Q for the quarter ended July 31, 2006 and any required restated
financial statements as soon as practical following the completion of the
review.
This Form 12b-25 contains "forward-looking statements" under the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that involve risks and uncertainties
related to a potential restatement of the Company's financial statements, the
filing of a delinquent report on Form 10-Q and the finalization of the Company's
results for the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2006. These statements are based
on management's current expectations and are subject to uncertainty and changes
in circumstances. The Company's actual results may differ materially from the
results predicted or from any other forward-looking statements made by, or on
behalf of, the Company, and reported results should not be considered as an
indication of future performance. Potential risks and uncertainties include,
among other things: (1) the timing of completion of the review of the accounting
described above, (2) the Company's review, restatement and filing of its amended
historical financial statements, if any, and becoming current in the Company's
other required SEC periodic reporting obligations; and (3) the additional risk
factors described in the Company's SEC reports, including the Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2006, which is available at the SEC's
website at http://www.sec.gov. All of the information in this Form 12b-25 is
made as of September 12, 2006, and the Company undertakes no duty to update this
information.

(2) Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment
Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter
period that the registrant was required to file such reports been filed?
If answer is no, identify report(s). |X| Yes |_| No
(3) 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?|X| 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.
On August 7, 2006, the Company reported net sales for the quarter ended July 31,
2006 increased $19.9 million, or 13.8%, from $143.8 million for the quarter
ended July 31, 2005 to $163.7 million and net sales for the six months ended
July 31, 2006 increased $52.6 million, or 18.6%, from $282.8 million for the six
months ended July 31, 2005 to $335.4 million for the six months ended July 31,
2006. The Company also reported same store sales (sales recorded in stores
operated for the entirety of both periods) increased 7.2% for the quarter ended
July 31, 2006 and were up 11.7% for the six month period. In addition to same
store sales, the Company benefited from sales from four stores added since the
first two quarters of last year.
The accounting for the Company's interest in securitized assets, which is
included in the Company's revenues from finance charges and other, has not been
reported and is subject to the Company's internal review described above.
However, the Company's preliminary estimates are that the revenues from finance
charges and others will be down approximately 10.4 % for the quarter ended July
31, 2006 compared to the quarter ended July 31, 2005 for reasons unrelated to
the internal review, but the Company does not anticipate any significant change
for this line item for the six months ended July 31, 2006 compared to the six
months ended July 31, 2005.
Conn's, Inc.
(Name of Registrant as Specified in Charter)
