Portal Software, Inc. Provides NASDAQ Trading Update

 

CUPERTINO, Calif., June 28, 2005 – Portal Software, Inc. (Nasdaq:PRSFE), the leading worldwide provider of billing and Revenue Management solutions for the global communications and media markets, today announced that NASDAQ has denied the Company’s request for additional time to file its Form 10-K for fiscal year 2005, which ended January 28, 2005, as well as its Forms 10-Q for the first and second quarters of fiscal year 2006, which ended April 29, 2005 and will end on July 29, 2005, respectively.

 

In denying the Company’s requests, NASDAQ has determined that Portal’s stock will be delisted from the NASDAQ National Market, effective with the opening of the market on Wednesday, June 29, 2005.

 

“We are disappointed with NASDAQ’s decision as we had provided NASDAQ with a detailed plan to return to filing compliance and have been working diligently to meet these milestones,” said Dave Labuda, Portal’s chief executive officer. “We remain committed to supporting our customers with strategic business solutions as we continue to provide investors with periodic updates on our filings with the SEC and status with NASDAQ.”

 

As previously announced, Portal had indicated that, based on the extensive time required to file its third quarter Form 10-Q, it did not expect to file its Form 10-K by May 31, 2005 as significant work remains to complete the assessment of its internal controls as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

 

Portal had requested the following filing extensions from NASDAQ:

 

  · For the fiscal year ended January 28, 2005, an extension up to August 31, 2005.

  · For the first quarter ended April 29, 2005, an extension up to September 30, 2005.
  · For the second quarter ending July 29, 2005, an extension up to October 31, 2005.

 

Portal will continue to make every effort to file its Form 10-K for fiscal year 2005 as well as its Forms 10-Q for the first and second quarters of fiscal year 2006 according to the above schedule. Upon doing so, the Company will immediately seek re-listing on the NASDAQ National Market as soon as it can satisfy the National Market’s listing standards. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be successful in obtaining re-listing with NASDAQ.

 

Portal anticipates that its common stock will trade on the National Quotation Service Bureau (the “Pink Sheets”) upon application by a market maker. Portal’s stock is not eligible for the Over The Counter (OTC) Bulletin Board because the company is not current in its SEC filings.
