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.

Comverse Technology, Inc. (the “Company”; “we” or “our”) has determined that it is not in a position to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended October 31, 2012 (the “Form 10-Q”) by its prescribed due date, December 10, 2012, as a result of the inability of Comverse, Inc., formerly our wholly-owned subsidiary (“Comverse”), to provide us with the necessary financial information in a timely manner. For periods prior to the distribution of all of the outstanding shares of Comverse common stock to our shareholders on October 31, 2012 (the “Share Distribution”), the financial results of Comverse are included in our consolidated financial statements. The Company depends upon Comverse, now an independent, publicly-held company, to provide us with necessary financial information to complete our Form 10-Q in a timely manner. Comverse has not provided us with the necessary financial information in a timely manner, and consequently, we have been unable to file the Form 10-Q when due.

CAUTIONS ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS: Certain statements appearing in this report constitute “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements include financial projections, statements of plans and objectives for future operations, statements of future economic performance, and statements of assumptions relating thereto. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of terminology such as “may,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “believes,” “potential,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “intends,” or the negative thereof or other comparable terminology. By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause actual results, performance and the timing of events to differ materially from those anticipated, expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements in this report. Such risks or uncertainties may give rise to future claims and increase exposure to contingent liabilities. The forward-looking statements in this report are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of our control, and could cause results to materially differ from expectations. Other key risks are described in the Company’s reports filed with the SEC, including the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Company undertakes no commitment to update or revise forward-looking statements except as required by law.

 

 


Part IV — Other Information

 

(1) Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this notification.

 

Joel Legon, Senior Vice President and Interim Chief Financial Officer 212.739.1151
(Name and Title)      (Area Code)    (Telephone Number)

 

(2) Have all other periodic reports required under Sections 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).    x  Yes    ¨  No

 

(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 a result of the Share Distribution, we no longer present the reportable segments of Comverse, and Comverse’s operations previously included in “All other” have been removed therefrom as Comverse’s results of operations are included in discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2012 and 2011. In addition, on August 1, 2012, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement with respect to, and subsequently completed, a sale of its wholly-owned subsidiary Starhome, and accordingly Starhome’s results of operations, which previously were included in “All Other,” are included in discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2012 and 2011.
