<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Advanced Emissions Solutions, Inc. (the &#147;Corporation&#148;) is filing this Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 with respect to its Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2013. The Corporation has not finalized its assessment of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting and is reviewing its accounting practices with respect to its methods of
recognizing revenue for its Emission Control business segment contracts using the percentage of completion method based on labor hours. The Corporation believes it may have a material weakness related to its revenue recognition. The Corporation
expects the result of its review of revenue recognition and other immaterial adjustments will likely result in a reduction of revenues of approximately $9 million and an increase in net losses by approximately $2 million in the aggregate for the
first three quarters of 2013 from those amounts previously reported. The Corporation also expects an increase in backlog as of September&nbsp;30, 2013. The Corporation&#146;s management team and its finance and accounting personnel have been working
diligently to complete this review; however, the Corporation is not able to timely complete the preparation of its financial statements and related disclosures to be included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K without unreasonable effort or expense.
The Corporation expects to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2013 on or before April&nbsp;1, 2014. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This Form
12b-25 contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section&nbsp;21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which provides a &#147;safe harbor&#148; for such statements in certain circumstances. The forward-looking statements include
statements or expectations regarding the Corporation&#146;s financial results, the results of the Corporation&#146;s assessment of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting and review of its accounting practices, the
Corporation&#146;s ability to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K on or before April&nbsp;1, 2014 and related matters. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates, projections, beliefs and assumptions of our management, which
involve significant risks and uncertainties. Actual events or results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including but not limited to, the outcome of the Corporation&#146;s
assessment and review, discussions with the Corporation&#146;s auditors and other factors discussed in greater detail in the Corporation&#146;s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (&#147;SEC&#148;). You are cautioned not to place
undue reliance on such statements and to consult the Corporation&#146;s SEC filings for additional risks and uncertainties that may apply to its business and the ownership of its securities. Any forward-looking statements are presented as of the
