PART III — NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why the Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, N-SAR, N-CSR or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period. (Attach extra sheets if needed.)




Tetra Tech, Inc. (the “Company”) is unable to file timely its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended July 2, 2006, without unreasonable effort or expense as the Company has not completed its previously announced inquiry into the Company’s past stock option grants and practices and the related accounting review.  The Company is uncertain as to whether the Form 10-Q will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the required filing date as prescribed in Rule 12b-25.

As announced in a press release issued on August 11, 2006, the Company has commenced a voluntary review of its past stock option grants and practices.  The Company has engaged outside counsel to assist in the review.  The review covers options grants during fiscal years 1998 through 2006.  At this time, the Company has not completed its work nor reached final conclusions and is continuing its review.  However, preliminary information obtained in this inquiry indicates instances in which incorrect measurement dates were used for financial accounting purposes for certain stock option grants in years prior to fiscal 2004.  Once the Company completes its inquiry, it may be required to record additional non-cash charges for stock-based compensation expense and the resulting tax effects in the current period.  It may also be required to restate certain prior periods’ financial statements for the impact of these items.

The Company is also assessing the control deficiency over its accounting for stock-based compensation as to whether it, either individually or in combination with other deficiencies, constitutes a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of July 2, 2006.  A material weakness is a control deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.  The existence of one or more material weaknesses will preclude a conclusion by management that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of July 2, 2006.

This Form 12b-25 contains forward-looking statements concerning the Company’s review of its historical stock option practices and related accounting treatment.  There can be no assurance concerning the conclusions of the review.  Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include the final determinations concerning matters relating to the Company’s stock option grants and other actions that may be taken or required as a result of the review.  Forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this filing and, except as required by law, the Company does not undertake an obligation to update its forward-looking statements to reflect future events or circumstances.

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 report(s) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

x Yes    o 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?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

o Yes    o 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.

 

Because of the review regarding the timing of past stock option grants and other potentially related issues discussed in Part III above, the Company has not checked either box in Part IV subsection 3, as it is not possible at this time for the Company to determine whether any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected in the earnings statements to be included in the Quarterly Report of Form 10-Q for the three and nine months ended July 2, 2006.
