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”) is in the process of preparing its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2011 (the “2010 Form 10-K”).  The Company will not be able to file the 2010 Form 10-K on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the required filing date as prescribed in Rule 12b-25.  The Company currently expects to file the 2010 Form 10-K in May 2011. The delay in filing the 2010 Form 10-K is the result of material weaknesses in CTI’s internal control over financial reporting.

As previously disclosed, the Company expects to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending January 31, 2012 in June 2011 and such additional Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q as may be required of it to become current in its periodic reporting obligations under the federal securities laws as soon as practicable thereafter. This timeline is subject to completion of various milestones in the Company’s financial close, reporting and disclosure processes.

This Form 12b-25 contains certain statements that constitute “forward-looking statements.”  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 2010 Form 10-K and other periodic reports 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:
 
 
  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.

Because the Company has not completed the preparation of its consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2011, 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 year ended January 31, 2011 compared with the fiscal year ended January 31, 2010.
