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.

     Terayon Communication Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) is not able to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2006 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on a timely basis without unreasonable effort or expense for the reasons described below.

     As announced on November 8, 2006, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of management, concluded that the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2000 and for the quarters of 2003, 2002 and 2000 should no longer be relied upon. The Audit Committee’s determination represents the completion of the Company’s previously announced review of accounting policies and practices for periods prior to 2004. On March 1, 2006, the Company had announced that it will restate its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004, and for the four quarters of 2004 and the first two quarters of 2005.

     The filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 and the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended September 30, 2006, June 30, 2006, March 31, 2006 and September 30, 2005 have been delayed pending the completion of the Company’s restatement of consolidated financial statements for the periods listed above and the audit by the Company’s current independent auditors of the financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 which will not be completed in sufficient time for the Company and its independent auditors to complete the review of its financial statements for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2006 and the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2006, within the prescribed period. No determination has yet been made by the Company or its independent auditors as to the extent and magnitude of all changes that will be required as a result of the restatement.

     The Company has provided additional information concerning the status of the audit, re-audit and restatement and the Company’s current expectations on this and related topics in a press release issued on November 8, 2006, a copy of which was filed by the Company as an exhibit to its current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 8, 2006.

     The Company did not represent in Part II of this Form 12b-25 that it would be able to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2006 by November 14, 2006, which is required by SEC rules to obtain a 5-day extension of the filing deadline. The Company does not believe that it will be able to file its Form 10-Q by that date.
