þ
			(a)		The reason described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense
			(b)		The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, Form 11-K, Form N-SAR or Form N-CSR, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report or transition report on Form 10-Q or subject distribution report on Form 10-D, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and

PART III — NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail 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.

Integrated Electrical Services, Inc. (the “Company”) is unable to file its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2009 (the “Form 10-Q”) within the prescribed time period, as the Company requires additional time to complete verification and reconciliation of certain financial information required in the Form 10-Q. The Company has concluded the five day extension will allow it to avoid unreasonable effort and expense in completing the Form 10-Q, as well as provide the Company’s independent auditor with the time necessary to complete its review of the final reconciliation. The reconciliation in question relates to certain intercompany accounts that have a potential non-cash after-tax impact of approximately $0.4 million.

In addition, the Company’s financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2009 may include certain other non-cash charges related to the correction of prior period accounting errors. Such charges are estimated to have an after-tax impact of approximately $0.8 million. Management determined that $0.4 million of the errors related to the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008 and $0.4 million was related to the fiscal first quarter of 2009. Management believes these non-cash corrections are not material and should be reflected in cost of services and selling, general and administrative expenses in the fiscal second quarter.

Upon completion of its review, the Company will evaluate the cumulative effect of all errors to determine if a restatement of the prior period financial statements is necessary. If no restatement is necessary, the Company will file the Form 10-Q within the prescribed five day extension period.
