PART III

NARRATIVE

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

Comverse Technology, Inc. (the “Company”) plans to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2008 as soon as practicable, but will not be able to file it on or before the fifth calendar day following the required filing date as prescribed in Rule 12b-25.

This delay is the result of (i) restatements of the Company’s historical financial statements required to reflect the results of the completed investigations by a special committee of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Special Committee") and (ii) the ongoing evaluation of the Company’s application of U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) in connection with the recognition of revenue in accordance with Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, including the assessment of vendor specific objective evidence ("VSOE") of fair value, and other items relating to completion of pending audits of the Company’s financial statements. Such investigations of the Special Committee were previously disclosed in the Company's press releases dated March 14, 2006 and November 14, 2006 and the completion of such investigations and a summary of the results thereof were disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on January 29, 2008. The revenue recognition evaluation, as it concerns VSOE, was previously disclosed in the Company's press release dated November 5, 2007. The evaluation relating to revenue recognition, including VSOE, as

well as other matters required to complete the audits of the Company’s financial statements, are currently ongoing.

The Special Committee's investigations related to past stock option grant practices and related accounting matters (the "Phase I Investigation"), and other financial and accounting matters, including errors in the recognition of revenue related to certain contracts, errors in the recording of certain deferred tax accounts and the misclassification of certain expenses in earlier periods (the "Phase II Investigation"). Areas of financial reporting that were investigated included the misuse of accounting reserves and the understatement of backlog for fiscal 2002 and prior periods.

The matters relating to the application of GAAP in connection with the recognition of revenue 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 evaluations were not part of the investigations conducted by the Special Committee.

The Company intends to file its periodic reports for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2008, the fiscal quarters ended April 30, 2007, July 31, 2007, October 31, 2007, April 30, 2008 and July 31, 2008, and any prior periods required for the Company to be current in its reporting obligations, together with any restated historical financial statements, as soon as practicable.

Note: This Form 12b-25 contains “forward-looking statements” under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that involve risks and uncertainties. There can be no assurances that any forward-looking statements will be achieved, and actual results could differ materially from forecasts and estimates. Important factors that could affect the Company include: the results of the investigation of the Special Committee of the Board of Directors concluded on January 28, 2008, of matters relating to the Company’s stock option grant practices and other accounting matters; the impact of any restatement of financial statements of the Company or other actions that may be taken or required as a result of such investigation or as result of the Company’s evaluation of the application of GAAP in connection with the recognition of revenue; the Company’s inability to file reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission; the effects of the delisting of the Company’s Common Stock from NASDAQ and the quotation of the Company’s Common Stock in the “Pink Sheets,” including any adverse effects relating to the trading of the stock due to, among other things, the absence of market makers; risks relating to the Company’s ability to relist its Common Stock on NASDAQ; risks relating to alleged defaults under the Company’s ZYPS indentures, including acceleration of repayment; risks of litigation (including the pending securities class action and derivative lawsuits and any potential civil injunctive action by the Securities and Exchange Commission) and of governmental investigations or proceedings arising out of or related to the Company’s stock option practices or any other accounting irregularities or any restatement of the financial statements of the Company, including the direct and indirect costs of such investigations and restatement; changes in the demand for the Company’s products; changes in capital spending among the Company’s current and prospective customers;

the risks associated with the sale of large, complex, high capacity systems and with new product introductions as well as the uncertainty of customer acceptance of these new or enhanced products from either the Company or its competition; risks associated with rapidly changing technology and the ability of the Company to introduce new products on a timely and cost-effective basis; aggressive competition may force the Company to reduce prices; a failure to compensate any decrease in the sale of the Company’s traditional products with a corresponding increase in sales of new products; risks associated with changes in the competitive or regulatory environment in which the Company operates; risks associated with prosecuting or defending allegations or claims of infringement of intellectual property rights; risks associated with significant foreign operations and international sales and investment activities, including fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, investments in auction rate securities, interest rates, and valuations of public and private equity; the volatility of macroeconomic and industry conditions and the international marketplace; the risk of declines in information technology spending; risks associated with the Company’s ability to retain existing personnel and recruit and retain qualified personnel. The Company undertakes no commitment to update or revise forward-looking statements except as required by law.

(2) Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s).

|_| Yes |X| No

The Company has not filed its Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2006, January 31, 2007 and January 31, 2008 and its Quarterly Reports for the fiscal quarters ended April 30, 2006, July 31, 2006, October 31, 2006, April 30, 2007, July 31, 2007, October 31, 2007, April 30, 2008 and July 31, 2008.

(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?

|X| Yes* |_| No

If so: attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

* As discussed above, the Company is currently in the process of a review of its financial statements, including the evaluation of the Company’s application of GAAP in connection with the recognition of revenue. The analysis of these matters requires the review of a large number of individual transactions over a number of years, and the Company cannot estimate at this time the impact on its previously issued financial statements or previously issued results. Because the Company has not completed the preparation of its consolidated financial statements for the fiscal periods ended July 31, 2007 and 2008, the Company is not in a position at this time to provide any reasonable estimate of any anticipated changes in results of operations for the fiscal period ended July 31, 2007 compared with the fiscal period ended July 31, 2008.
