COMVERSE TECHNOLOGY UPDATES PREVIOUSLY ANNOUNCED ACCOUNTING RESTATEMENT PROCESS
Monday November 5, 7:00 am ET
CONFERENCE CALL TO BE HELD MONDAY NOVEMBER 5, 8:30AM EST


NEW YORK--Comverse Technology, Inc. (Pink Sheets: CMVT.PK - News) today
announced that its previously stated expectation to become current in its
financial reports by the end of its fiscal year 2007, ending January 31, 2008,
is likely to be delayed as a result of an evaluation of its recognition of
revenue based on the application of Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, Software
Revenue Recognition, as amended and interpreted, specifically relating to vendor
specific objective evidence ("VSOE"). Any accounting errors identified as a
result of this evaluation are only expected to impact the timing of revenue
recognized and not to call into question the validity of the underlying
transactions or revenue. Consequently, the company believes that its aggregate
revenue, inclusive of deferrals, will not be impacted by any restatements caused
by this issue. Until the SOP 97-2 evaluation is complete, the company may not be
in a position to provide revenue and other income statement information to
investors.

Andre Dahan, President and Chief Executive Officer, Comverse Technology, Inc.,
said, "The accounting issues related to the application of VSOE include the
evaluation of very complex software revenue recognition standards, and the
timing and recognition of maintenance revenue, which we are committed to getting
right. This area of review arose in connection with the audit of our fiscal 2006
statements, and is not associated with the investigations led by the Special
Committee of our Board of Directors, which are substantially complete. Any
restatements resulting from this review is not a reflection on our business, but
an indication of our commitment to address any potential accounting issues,
correct them, and put them definitively behind us. We remain very optimistic
about the strength of our business and its prospects. We are strong financially,
hold leadership positions in our major markets, and deliver high value products
and solutions to our customers. We remain focused on delivering value to our
customers, and committed to our objective to build and deliver a new Framework
for Profitable Growth at the company."

The SOP 97-2 VSOE related concerns arose in connection with the audit of the
company's financial statements for fiscal year 2006 (ended January 31, 2007) by
the company's independent registered public accounting firm. Such evaluation is
not part of the investigations conducted by the Special Committee of the
company's Board of Directors. Included in this evaluation is a determination of
VSOE of fair value for the various elements of the company's bundled hardware
and software solutions and associated services for earlier years as well.








The company cautions that its previously issued financial statements and the
revenue and selected consolidated financial items disclosed in its press
releases issued on March 22, 2007, June 11, 2007 and September 10, 2007, should
no longer be relied upon. The company believes that its aggregate revenue,
inclusive of deferrals, will not be impacted by any restatements caused by this
issue. It is not presently known if the accounting review will identify
additional or different issues that could further impact the company's financial
statements or if the impact of these issues would be material.

STATEMENT OF POSITION (SOP) 97-2:

SOFTWARE REVENUE RECOGNITION, VENDOR SPECIFIC OBJECTIVE EVIDENCE (VSOE)

In general, the presence of VSOE permits revenue to be allocated among, and
recognized upon the delivery of the contractual arrangement's various elements.
Most of the company's sales transactions are generated from complex contractual
arrangements with multiple elements requiring significant analysis with respect
to the facts surrounding the transactions, and accounting analysis under highly
technical accounting rules in order to determine the appropriate period in which
to record revenue. When a contract involves multiple elements, such as sales of
products that include maintenance, the company has allocated the value of the
total purchase to each item within the purchase arrangement based on its
determination of VSOE. If the company for accounting purposes is unable to
determine the fair value of an undelivered element, as defined by VSOE, revenue
for the entire arrangement is deferred until all elements have been delivered.
Given the customized nature of the company's products and services, and the
complexity of its contracts, VSOE can be difficult to establish. For example,
many of the company's large customers receive maintenance as part of a sale that
also includes product. The company has historically determined that portion of
the sale to be classified and deferred as maintenance revenue based on VSOE.

As a result of this evaluation, the company may conclude that insufficient
evidence existed to support the company's prior determination that VSOE existed
for certain elements of its contracts and would be required to restate its
previously reported revenues. Generally, the absence of VSOE will result in the
recognition of revenue over longer periods of time. Any determination concerning
the absence of VSOE is expected to impact the timing of revenue recognized by
the company and not call into question the validity of the underlying
transactions or revenue.
