PART III — NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons 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.

As previously disclosed, Power Solutions International, Inc. (the “Company”) has determined to restate its consolidated financial statements for certain historical periods in light of the identification of errors in revenue recognition and certain other areas. The Company is in the final phase of completing the restatements and its delinquent reports for the 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 periods and currently expects to file an Annual Report on Form 10-K for those annual periods within the next 30 days; however, there can be no assurance that this timeline will be met. As a result of the pending restatements, the Company is unable to complete its financial statements and file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 by the prescribed due date for such filing. The Company does not expect to file the Form 10-K on or before the expiration of the 15 calendar day extension period provided in Rule 12b-25(b). The Company plans to file the Form 10-K as soon as practicable following the completion of the restatements.

If answer is no, identify report(s).    ☐  Yes    ☒  No
The Company has not yet filed its Form 10-Q quarterly reports for the quarters ended June 30, 2016, September 30, 2016, March 31, 2017, June 30, 2017, September 30, 2017, March 31, 2018, June 30, 2018, and September 30, 2018, and its Form 10-K annual reports for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017. 
(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
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’s estimated product shipments for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2018 are approximately $141 million and $499 million, respectively. The Company’s results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2018 reflect an increase in product shipments within its on-road and industrial end markets, partially offset by a modest decline in the power generation end market, as compared to the same period in 2017. Results of operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 reflect an increase in product shipments across all of the Company’s major end markets with the on-road and power generation end markets comprising a majority of the increase. Results of operations include significant legal and other third party professional fees related to, among other items, the following: ongoing efforts to restate previously disclosed prior period financial statements; audit activities related to the prior period financial statement restatements; and responding to the ongoing independent internal review and external government investigation. The Company expects to continue to incur significant expenses for the aforementioned matters and for product development activities in support of the Company’s long-term growth objectives. Product shipments represent orders that have been shipped to the customer. The product shipments data has not been derived from financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and has not been audited or reviewed by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Such product shipments data should not be relied upon as necessarily indicative of the Company’s actual revenues to be recorded for the relevant periods.
The Company’s total debt obligations increased in the fourth quarter of 2018 by approximately $3 million to approximately $110 million as of December 31, 2018.
Until the Company has restated its previously filed financial statements and finalized its financial statements for all periods subsequent to the restated financial statements, including the year ended December 31, 2018, it is unable to provide comparative period financial results and report its final results. Upon such finalization, the Company will be in a position to provide a reasonable estimate of its financial results for the period.
For the full 2019 fiscal year, the Company believes that demand will remain relatively stable across its major end markets. The Company is currently projecting for full year 2019 product shipments to be above the levels achieved in 2018, albeit at a moderated rate versus the increase that the Company experienced in 2018. This outlook is based on information available to management as of today, and is subject to change.
Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Form 12b-25 contains forward-looking statements regarding the current expectations of the Company about its prospects and opportunities. These forward-looking statements are covered by the “Safe Harbor for Forward-Looking Statements” provided by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company has tried to identify these forward-looking statements by using words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “budgeted,” “contemplate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “guidance,” “may,” “outlook,” “plan,” “projection,” “should,” “target,” “will,” “would,” or similar expressions, but these words are not the exclusive means for identifying such statements.
The Company cautions that a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors could cause its actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements, including, without limitation: the final results of the Audit Committee’s independent review as it impacts the Company's accounting, accounting policies and internal control over financial reporting; management’s ability to successfully implement the Audit Committee’s remedial recommendations; the reasons giving rise to the prior resignation of RSM US LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm and the impact of the resignation on the Company's relationship with its lender and trade creditors and potential for defaults and exercise of creditor remedies; the time and effort required to complete the restatement of the affected financial statements, complete its delinquent financial statements and prepare the related Form 10-K and Form 10-Q filings, particularly within the current anticipated timeline; the timing of completion of necessary interim reviews and audits by the new independent registered public accounting firm; the timing of completion of steps to address, and the inability to address and remedy, material weaknesses; the identification of additional material weaknesses or significant deficiencies; variances in non-recurring expenses; risks relating to the substantial costs and diversion of personnel’s attention and resources deployed to address the financial reporting and internal control matters and related class action litigation; the ability of the Company to accurately budget for and forecast product shipments, and the extent to which product shipments result in recorded revenues; the impact of the previously disclosed investigation initiated by the SEC and any related or additional governmental investigative or enforcement proceedings; the impact of resignations of the directors from the board of directors and certain executive officers and any delays and challenges encountered in recruiting replacements for open positions and the replacements’ transitions into their positions; and any negative impacts from delisting of the Company's Common Stock from the NASDAQ Stock Market and any delays and challenges in obtaining a re-listing on a stock exchange. Actual events or results may differ materially from its expectations.
The Company's forward-looking statements are presented as of the date hereof. Except as required by law, the Company expressly disclaims any intention or obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
