ALCO Stores, Inc. Stores (the “Company”) is unable to file its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended August 3, 2014 within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense. The delay is substantially the result of (i) an entirely new board of directors was elected on August 29, 2014, (ii) a new interim chief executive officer of the Company was appointed on September 4, 2014, and (iii) the Company continues its process of hiring a full-time chief financial officer. As a result of the foregoing, the Company requires additional time file its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended August 3, 2014. The Company intends to file its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended August 3, 2014 on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date.

PART IV – OTHER 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 report(s) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s). Yes ý 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? Yes ý 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. The Company expects to report total operating revenues of $110.7 million and operating loss of $8.0 million for the quarter ended August 3, 2014, compared to total operating revenues of $117.7 million and operating income of $0.5 million reported for the quarter ended August 4, 2013. The decline in operating revenues and operating income were primarily due to an 8.1% decrease in customer transactions occurring at a same-store (stores open at end of reporting period that have reached their fourteenth month of operation), a decline in gross margin due to decline in sales, and an increase in SG&A. Continued financial losses has resulted in diminished liquidity for the Company’s operations, and the Company’s borrowing availability is now under more stringent conditions by the Company’s lenders. All financial information related to the quarter ended August 3, 2014 in this Form 12b-25 is preliminary in nature, is based on internal information and remains subject to further review and finalization of the Company's reporting process.
