On December 3, 2007, VeriFone announced that following a review by and on the recommendation of management, it had 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.
On December 31, 2007, VeriFone filed a Form 12b-25 notification of late filing, indicating that it would not be able to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007 in a timely manner. VeriFones management and the Audit Committee of its Board of Directors have determined to delay the filing of VeriFones Quarterly Report for the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2008 pending completion of the assessment of the errors and the restatements described above as well as the completion of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007. 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 and to complete and file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007. VeriFone thereafter expects to complete and file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2008.

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 fiscal year ended October 31, 2007 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2008 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.
