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, 2010 as soon as practicable after it files (i) a comprehensive Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2009, 2008, 2007 and 2006 (the “Comprehensive Form 10-K”) and (ii) an Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2010, 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.

The delay in filing the Comprehensive Form 10-K was primarily the result of (i) adjustments to 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 evaluation of the Company’s application of generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) in connection with the recognition of revenue in accordance with The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” including the assessment of vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value, and (iii) other items relating to completion of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, including the completion of tax provisions and the reconciliation of tax accounts noted below.  Such investigations of the Special Committee were previously disclosed in the Company’s press releases dated March 14,

2

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 (the “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 Special Committee’s investigations related to historic improper stock option grant practices and related accounting matters, and other financial and accounting matters, including the recognition of revenue related to certain contracts, errors in the recording of certain deferred tax accounts, the misclassification of certain expenses, the misuse of accounting reserves and the intentional inaccurate presentation of backlog.

The matters relating to the application of U.S. GAAP in connection with the recognition of revenue in accordance with SOP 97-2 arose in connection with the audit of the Company’s financial statements by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.  Such evaluation was not part of the investigations conducted by the Special Committee.

As disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 12, 2010, the Company is nearing completion of its Comprehensive Form 10-K and expects to file the Comprehensive Form 10-K in September 2010.The Company is currently working towards the completion of its U.S. federal, state and foreign tax provisions for each of the fiscal years in the four year period ended January 31, 2009 and the complex reconciliation of tax accounts, the principal remaining milestones in the Company’s financial close and reporting and disclosure process. This timeline is subject to completion of such remaining milestones and the risk that additional adjustments may be identified during the finalization of the tax provisions and completion of the audit. The Company expects to file the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2010 and the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q as may be required for it to become current in its periodic reporting obligations under the federal securities laws as soon as practicable after the filing of the Comprehensive Form 10-K.

This Form 12b-25 contains certain statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  There are numerous risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and the timing of events to differ materially from those anticipated by the forward-looking statements in this Form 12b-25.  Specifically, this Form 12b-25 includes a forward-looking statement regarding the Company’s expectation to file its Comprehensive Form 10-K in September 2010 and to become current in its periodic reporting obligations as soon as practicable thereafter.  There can be no assurances that such forward-looking statements will be achieved, with risks and uncertainties arising from (among other factors) the following:

3

·   the ineffectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures resulting in its inability to file its periodic reports under the federal securities laws in a timely manner due to material weaknesses and significant deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting and the potential that the Company may be unable to effectively implement appropriate remedial measures in a timely manner;

·   the continuation of material weaknesses or the discovery of additional material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and any delay in the implementation of remedial measures; and

·   the ability of the Company’s subsidiaries to provide it with their financial information in a timely manner.

The Company undertakes no commitment to update or revise forward-looking statements except as required by law.
