PART III — NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail the reasons 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.

As previously announced, GSI Group Inc. (the “Company”) identified errors in the recognition of revenue from sales to a customer in the Company’s Semiconductor Systems Segment in the first and second fiscal quarters of 2008, fiscal year 2007 and fiscal year 2006. Therefore, the Company announced that the previously issued financial statements contained in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 28, 2008 and June 27, 2008 and Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 should no longer be relied upon. In connection with the identification of such errors, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Audit Committee”) conducted a review of sales transactions in the Company’s Semiconductor Systems Segment along with other sales transactions that contained arrangements with multiple deliverables for fiscal years 2006, 2007 and 2008.

As previously disclosed, the Audit Committee completed its review of transactions in the Company’s Semiconductor Systems Segment. Thereafter, on June 30, 2009, the Company announced that it was undertaking a review of the timing of revenue recognized in connection with multiple element arrangements in its Precision Technology Segment from 2004 through 2008 to determine if adjustments needed to be made to those periods (collectively with the Audit Committee’s review of transactions in the Semiconductor Systems Segment and any other related Company reviews of transactions in the Semiconductor Systems Segment and Precision Technology Segment, the “Revenue Review”). The Company completed the Revenue Review and thereafter finalized its restatement of previously issued financial statements.

On April 13, 2010 the Company filed its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, which contained restatements of the consolidated balance sheet for the year ended December 31, 2007 and the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. In addition, the data for consolidated balance sheets for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 and the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 were restated to reflect the impact of the adjustments from the Revenue Review, among other adjustments. On April 13, 2010 the Company also filed its Form 10-Q for the period ended September 26, 2008.

Work on the Company’s annual and quarterly reports for fiscal years 2009 and 2010 was delayed pending the completion of the above mentioned restatements and the completion and filing of the Company’s delayed periodic reports for fiscal year 2008. As a result of this delay, the Company is unable to file its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended April 2, 2010 within the prescribed time without unreasonable effort or expense. The Company is diligently working on an accelerated schedule to complete and file all of its delayed periodic reports.

(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?     x  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:
