PART III NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail 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.
VeriFone Holdings, Inc. (VeriFone) is unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2007
in a timely manner without unreasonable effort and expense in light
of the circumstances described below.
On December 3, 2007, VeriFone announced that following a review by and on the
recommendation of management, it has concluded that its unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended January 31, 2007, the three and six months ended
April 30, 2007, and the three and nine months ended July 31, 2007, should no longer be relied upon, principally due to errors in accounting related to the valuation of in-transit inventory and
allocation of manufacturing and distribution overhead to inventory, each of which affects VeriFones reported costs of net revenues. The restatements are anticipated to correct errors that overstated
previously reported inventories in material amounts as of January 31, 2007, April 30, 2007, and July 31, 2007, and understated cost of net revenues in material amounts for the three
month periods ended January 31, 2007, April 30, 2007, and July 31, 2007. Accordingly, investors are cautioned not to rely on VeriFones historical financial statements and
earnings press releases and similar communications for the periods ended January 31, 2007, April 30, 2007, and July 31, 2007.
These
restatements are also anticipated to correct other errors that may be
detected in the course of VeriFones review.
VeriFone concluded that a restatement of its interim unaudited financial statements is required
as a result of an internal review of in-transit inventory balances conducted in preparation for VeriFones fiscal 2007 audit.
VeriFones management and the Audit Committee of its Board of Directors
have determined to delay the filing of VeriFones Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007 pending completion of the assessment of the errors and the
restatements described above. Upon completion of its assessment of these errors, VeriFone intends to file amended Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods described above that will restate the
previously issued financial statements included therein, following which time VeriFone expects to complete and file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007.

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 þ No o
|
|
(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?
|
|
|
Yes þ No o
|
|
The disclosure set forth in Part III is incorporated by reference
herein. VeriFone expects to report total revenues for the year ended
October 31, 2007, of approximately $904 million compared to $581
million for the year ended October 31, 2006. Prior to the completion of the restatement process described
above, VeriFone is unable to reasonably estimate any additional
information regarding the anticipated change in results of operations
from the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006.
Although VeriFones
management is still evaluating the implications of the restatements described above on its internal control over financial reporting, when VeriFone files its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
October 31, 2007 and amends the previously filed quarterly reports to effect the restatements, management expects VeriFone to report one or more material weaknesses in VeriFones internal
control over financial reporting.
