PART III — NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, N-SAR, or the transition report portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

As disclosed in Citrix Systems, Inc.’s (“Citrix”) Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 13, 2007, the Audit Committee of Citrix’s Board of Directors announced the findings of its voluntary investigation of Citrix’s historical stock option granting practices and the related accounting. As a result of the voluntary investigation, and as previously announced by Citrix, Citrix intends to restate its previously issued financial statements and reports thereon for the fiscal years 2004 and 2005 and for the interim quarterly periods for 2005 and 2006 to reflect the additional non-cash stock-based compensation expense and related tax effects that should have been recorded with respect to stock option grants whose accounting measurement dates are being revised. As previously announced, Citrix intends to submit a request for consultation on certain interpretive issues to the Office of Chief Accountant of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “OCA”). Because of the pending OCA consultation, Citrix has not yet determined conclusively the amount of additional non-cash compensation expense to be recorded as a result of the investigation of Citrix’s historical stock option granting practices, or the resulting tax impact. As a result, Citrix will not be in a position to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2007 until after the completion of the OCA consultation, which will not occur within the prescribed time period for the filing of such Form 10-Q.
