PART
III - NARRATIVE
State
below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR or N-CSR, or the transition report or portion
thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
Coates
International, Ltd. (the “Registrant”) was unable, without unreasonable effort or expense, to file its Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the “Annual Report”) by the April 1, 2019 filing date applicable
to smaller reporting companies due to a delay experienced by the Registrant in completing its financial statements and other disclosures
in the Annual Report. As a result, the Registrant is still in the process of compiling required information to complete the
Annual Report and its independent registered public accounting firm requires additional time to complete its audit of the financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 to be incorporated in the Annual Report. Although the Registrant expects
to file the Annual Report no later than the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed filing date, there can be no assurance
it will be able to do so.
