PART III
NARRATIVE

     State below in reasonable detail why Form 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.

Agilysys, Inc. (the “Company”) files this Form 12b-25 for a 5-day extension — from November 10 to November 17, 2008 — to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2008 (“Form 10-Q”). The Company is requesting the extension because the Company will not complete the preparation of its consolidated financial statements by the required filing date of November 10, 2008 without unreasonable effort and expense. The Company is unable to complete preparation of its consolidated financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2008, because the Company has not yet completed the preparation of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 (“Form 10-K”) or its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2008. The Company expects to file its Form 10-Q as soon as practicable after it files its Form 10-K and its Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2008.

On August 7, 2008, the Company issued a press release and furnished such release on Form 8-K announcing fiscal 2009 unaudited first quarter summary financial information for the period ended June 30, 2008 (the “August Press Release”). On June 2, 2008, the Company issued a press release and furnished such release on Form 8-K announcing unaudited results for the fourth quarter and full-year ended March 31, 2008 (the “June Press Release”). In the June Press Release, the Company stated that it must include in its financial statements information from an independent audit report on Magirus AG — a foreign equity investment in which the Company owns a 20% stake — which financial statement audit was not yet complete. The Magirus financial information is necessary for the Company’s financial statements because of its materiality to the Company’s fiscal 2008 income statement. The Company’s financial results referenced in the June Press Release are subject to change pending the completion and issuance of the Magirus AG audited financial statements in addition to the completion of the audit of the Company, including the proportionate share of the Magirus equity income and losses. Further, the Company’s financial results referenced in the August Press Release are subject to change depending on the final results of the fourth quarter and full-year ended March 31, 2008.

Many factors could cause Agilysys actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by the forward-looking statements.

In addition, this Form 12b-25 contains time-sensitive information and reflects management’s best analysis only as of the date of this release. Agilysys does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect future events, information or circumstances that arise after the date of this Form 12b-25.
