PART III -- NARRATIVE

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

Motorcar Parts of America, Inc. (the “Company”) is unable, without unreasonable effort or expense, to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2019 (“2019 10-K”) within the prescribed time period.  The Company needs additional time to complete certain activities in connection with its financial statement close process, as well as to complete management’s assessment regarding the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2019, which could result in the determination that a material weakness existed at March 31, 2019.  The Company expects that it will file its Annual Report on Form 10-K within the extension period of 15 calendar days as provided under Rule 12b-25 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
