PART I -- REGISTRANT INFORMATION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Full Name of Registrant
VOLT INFORMATION SCIENCES, INC.

PART II -- RULES 12B-25(B) AND (C)

If the subject report could not be filed without  unreasonable effort or expense
and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should
be completed. (Check box if appropriate)

         (a)      The reasons 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, 11-K or Form N-SAR, or portion
                  thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day
 [X]              following the  prescribed  due date; or the subject  quarterly
                  report of transition  report on Form 10-Q, or portion  thereof
                  will be filed on or before the fifth  calendar  day  following
                  the prescribed due date; and

         (c)      The  accountant's  statement or other exhibit required by Rule
                  12-b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.


PART III -- NARRATIVE

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

The Registrant's Annual Report of employee stock purchase, savings and similar
plans on Form 11-K for the period ended December 31, 2004 could not be filed
within the prescribed time period because the Registrant needs additional time
to complete the financial statements of the plans in order to file the Form 11-K
with the SEC.
