PART II - RULES 12b-25(b) AND (c)
If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate)


(a)    The reason described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense
ý

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



(c) The accountant’s statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.







PART III - NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

Electro Scientific Industries (the “Company”) is unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended March 28, 2015 within the prescribed period. In connection with the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for the year ended March 28, 2015, management concluded that the Company should report multiple segments rather than a single segment. Recasting the Company’s previously reported results into segments and completing the associated evaluation of goodwill under segments is complex and time consuming. As a result, the Company cannot, without unreasonable effort and expense, file its Form 10-K on or prior to the prescribed due date. The Company expects to file its Form 10-K on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date.

(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  ¨    No  ý
