Item 2.02         Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On August 31, 2006, VeriFone Holdings, Inc. (the “Registrant”) issued a press release and has scheduled a conference call to report its financial results for its fiscal third quarter ended July 31, 2006.  A copy of the Registrant’s press release that contains its financial results for the fiscal third quarter ended July 31, 2006 is being furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

The information furnished pursuant to this report, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section or Sections 11 and 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  The information contained herein and in Exhibit 99.1 shall not be incorporated by reference into any filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission made by the Registrant, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.

The information furnished in this report, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed to constitute an admission that such information or exhibit is required to be furnished pursuant to Regulation FD or that such information or exhibit contains material information that is not otherwise publicly available.  In addition, the Registrant does not assume any obligation to update such information or exhibit in the future.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

The Registrant intends to use certain non-GAAP financial measures in both the press release and the conference call that are not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.  Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures that are contained in Exhibit 99.1.  Exhibit 99.1 also describes the reasons why management believes the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors and any additional purposes for which management uses these non-GAAP financial measures.

Item 9.01          Financial Statements and Exhibits.
