ý   (b)   The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, Form 11-K, Form N-SAR or Form N-CSR, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report or transition report on Form 10-Q, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and

PART III — NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail why 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.

        The SCO Group, Inc. (the "Company") hereby requests an extension of time to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended October 31, 2004. The Company was unable to file its Form 10-K by January 31, 2005 without unreasonable effort or expense because the Company needs more time to adequately compile and analyze supporting documentation and provide such documentation to its auditor. Consequently, the Company's auditor was unable to complete the audit of the Company's financial statements within the necessary period of time. The Company currently anticipates that the Form 10-K will be filed by no later than the fifteenth calendar day following the date on which the Form 10-K was due.
