AUDIOCODES REVISES ESTIMATES FOR THE FIRST QUARTER 2007

Lod, Israel, March 14, 2007 – AudioCodes (NASDAQ:AUDC), a leading provider of Voice over Packet (VoP) technologies and Voice Network products, today announced that revenues and earnings for the first quarter of 2007 are anticipated to be lower than previously estimated.

The Company said that due to a slower than expected intake of orders, it now expects revenues for the first quarter to be approximately $36 to $38 million compared to the Company’s original guidance that revenues for the first quarter would be up to a level of 5% higher than the fourth quarter of 2006. Revenues in the fourth quarter of 2006 were $42.6 million. As a result, the Company also expects that it will not achieve the net income per share previously anticipated.

Mr. Shabtai Adlersberg, Chairman and CEO of AudioCodes, said: “In the face of weaker market conditions, we believe it prudent at this time for us to revise our previous guidance. We intend to revise our outlook for 2007 at the time of our First Quarter 2007 financial results conference call.”

“We hope this is a minor set back and remain confident in our strengths and in the long term growth prospects of AudioCodes,” added Mr. Adlersberg.
