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.

Global Power Equipment Group Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this Form 12b-25 because it needs additional time to file its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, which is due on August 9, 2006. As previously reported, the Company delayed the filing of its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 due to additional time required for review and completion of its previously announced restatement, as well as for a review of contract cost reporting issues in connection with several projects in the Company’s Heat Recovery segment. As a result, and as previously reported, the Company also delayed the filing of its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. As soon as practicable after completion and filing of its Form 10-K for 2005, on which it is moving forward as expeditiously as possible, the Company will be able to file its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, and its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2006.
