PART III - NARRATIVE

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

On March 17, 2005, the Registrant filed a Form 12b-25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) notifying the SEC that the Registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2004, the Registrant entered into a license upgrade agreement with one of its existing customers who is developing wireless and multimedia software solutions around the licensed CEVA DSP core. The Registrant recognized as revenue under this agreement $846,000, a portion of such license, for the quarter ended December 31, 2004. Separately, in January 2005, the Registrant entered into an engineering services agreement with the same party to develop a suite of audio software to support the Registrant’s multimedia solutions licensing business.

Under SOP 97-2, revenues are recognized by the Registrant when: (1) collectability is probable; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the license fee is fixed or determinable; and (4) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists. The Registrant assesses whether collectability is probable at the time of the transaction based on a number of factors, including the customer’s past transaction history and credit worthiness. If the Registrant determines that the collection of the fee is not probable, the Registrant defers the fee and recognizes revenue at the time collection becomes probable, which is generally upon the receipt of cash.  Where a third party who is a licensee of their intellectual property also provides them with subcontract design services under a separate agreement, the Registrant evaluates each of the agreements to determine that they are clearly separable and that they reflect the fair value of each element of the agreements in order to determine the appropriate revenue recognition. As of December 31, 2004, the Registrant had received $775,000 of the license fee due under the license upgrade agreement.

In preparing the Registrant’s financial statements for the three months and year ended December 31, 2004, management reviewed the license upgrade agreement and services agreement and determined that the agreements were separable and that each reflected the fair value of each element of these agreements. Management also contemporaneously reviewed the facts and circumstances of these agreements with the Registrant’s independent auditors. Subsequently, in January, the Registrant’s Audit Committee reviewed with management and with the Registrant’s independent auditors the revenue recognition treatment of the license upgrade agreement for the quarter ended December 31, 2004. Based on this review, the Registrant recognized $846,000 of revenue related to this agreement, which was reflected in the Registrant’s operating results for its fourth fiscal quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 set forth in the press release previously furnished by the Registrant on a Form 8-K dated February 2, 2005.

In connection with the Registrant’s independent auditors final review of the audited financial statements of the Registrant to be included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, the Registrant’s independent auditors informed the Registrant on March 9, 2005 that they are now further reviewing the revenue recognition treatment of this license upgrade agreement and, it is currently discussing with its independent auditors whether a portion or all of the revenue recognized in its 2004 fourth fiscal quarter related to this license upgrade agreement should be deferred to future periods. If all of the revenues are deferred to future periods, the Registrant would expect to report revenues for its fiscal year and fourth fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2004 of $37.7 million and $9.2 million, respectively, instead of the $38.5 million and $10.0 million previously set forth in its press release furnished on the Registrant’s Form 8-K dated February 2, 2005. In this instance, the Registrant also would expect to report a decrease in net income of $466,000 from the amounts previously disclosed from $2.1 million to $1.7 million for the full 2004 fiscal year and from $0.7 million to $0.2 million for the 2004 fourth fiscal quarter. This would result in a decrease in the Registrant’s net income per share from $0.11 to $0.09 for the full 2004 fiscal year and from $0.03 to $0.01 for 2004 fourth fiscal quarter.

As a result of the above-described discussions between the Registrant and its independent auditors, the Registrant cannot complete the financial statements required to be included in its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 without unreasonable effort or expense prior to the filing deadline for the Form 10-K. The Form 10-K will be filed as soon as reasonably practicable within the time period prescribed under Part II(b) hereof.
