EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 1 to the Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2006, of B.O.S Better Online Solutions Ltd. (the “Registrant”) is filed in order to correct and supplement the description of a claim brought against the Registrant by BosaNova EURL in France. In particular, in the Registrant’s previous description, it was mistakenly reported that the claim was filed in March 2005, for the amount of 1.4 million Euros whereas the claim was served on the Registrant in April 2006, for approximately 3.3 million Euros and additional remedies.

This Amendment No. 1 contains item 8 and the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, in which a corresponding revision was made in Notes 14.b.3 and 20.b, and which also include an updated auditors report. Except as described above, this Amendment No. 1 to the Form 20-F continues to speak as of June 5, 2007 and no other changes have been made to the Annual Report. This Amendment No. 1 does not amend or update any other information set forth in the Annual Report and we have not updated disclosures contained therein to reflect any events that occurred at a date subsequent to the filing of the Annual Report.

Item 8: Financial Information.

8A. Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information

Consolidated Financial Statements

See Item 18.

Sales Outside Israel

The total amount of export revenues of the Company has been as follows:

Year
export revenues
% of all revenues
 
2006     $ 6,040,000    29 %
2005   $ 10,693,000    44 %
2004   $ 4,552,000    66 %

Legal Proceedings

In April 2006, BOSâNOVA EURL, a French company and former distributor of the Company, served the Company with a claim filed with the French Trade Tribunal alleging breach of exclusive distributor rights in France and asserting ownership to certain intellectual property rights in the Company’s products. The plaintiff seeks an amount of approximately 3.3 million Euros and additional remedies. This claim follows a previous motion for temporary injunctive relief that was filed against the Company’s new French distributor, said motion ultimately denied by French Trade Tribunal. On September 18, 2007, the French Trade Tribunal rejected the Company’s assertion that jurisdiction is with the Israeli courts, and the Company has appealed this decision. The Company assesses the prospect of the claimant to prevail and recover a significant amount as remote. The Company’s financial statements include a provision in this respect.

On May 10, 2006 the Company received a written demand from IDEAL Software GmbH (“IDEAL”), a German corporation, in which it claims that the Company owes it for unpaid license fees. On June 11, 2006 the Company filed with the Haifa District Court in Israel a claim against IDEAL. Recently, we announced that we entered into a settlement of this dispute with IDEAL, pursuant to which, on December 21, 2006, we paid IDEAL an amount of 110,000 Euros, and we agreed to withdraw the claim we filed in Israel.

Dividend Policy

The Company does not currently have a dividend policy. The declaration and payment of any cash dividends in the future will be determined by the Board of Directors in light of the conditions existing at that time. This will include our earnings and financial condition. We may only pay cash dividends in any fiscal year, out of “profits”, as defined under Israeli law. Any dividends paid out of Approved Enterprise earnings (i.e. tax exempt income) will be liable to tax. As we cannot currently distribute dividends, no provision has been made for this additional tax in our Financial Statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders of

B.O.S. BETTER ONLINE SOLUTIONS LTD.

          We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of B.O.S Better Online Solutions Ltd. (“the Company”) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the December 31, 2004 financial statements of Odem Electronic Technologies 1992 Ltd. (“Odem”), a subsidiary whose statements reflect total revenues for the period from November 18, 2004 (date of acquisition of Odem) to December 31, 2004 constituting 23.5% of the related consolidated total revenues. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to amounts included for Odem, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors. Those auditors expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements in their report dated March 25, 2005.

          We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the report of the other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

          In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

          As discussed in Note 2t to the consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provision of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123(R), “Shared-Based Payment”.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders of

ODEM ELECTRONIC TECHNOLOGIES 1992 LTD.

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Odem Electronic Technologies 1992 Ltd.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s Board of Directors and management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in Israel and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), including those prescribed by the Israeli Auditors (Mode of Performance) Regulations, 1973. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the Company’s Board of Directors and management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above, present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003 and 2004 and the consolidated results of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years ended on those dates, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Acquisition of Odem:

 

 

 

 

 

On November 18, 2004 the Company purchased 63.8% of the outstanding shares of Odem, from Odem’s existing shareholders. In consideration for Odem’s shares the Company (i) issued 290,532 of the Company’s Ordinary shares subject to “lock-up” periods of 2 to 4 years and (ii) paid an amount of $1,971 in cash. In addition, Odem’s selling shareholders and the Company had certain Put and Call options, based on performance, with respect to all of the remaining Odem shares held by such sellers, exercisable for a consideration comprised of additional cash and issuance of additional Ordinary shares of the Company. The Company recorded assets and liability with respect to these options at fair value. The Put option liability will be measured periodically until it expires or is exercised and the changes in the fair value will be charged to financial expenses.

 

 

 

 

 

On September 29, 2005 and November 1, 2005, the Company purchased an additional 23.9% and 12.3% of the outstanding shares of Odem respectively, from Odem’s minority shareholders.

Sale of product line:

 

 

 

 

 

On July 18, 2005, BOScom signed an asset purchase agreement with Consist Technologies Ltd. and Consist International Inc. (collectively, “Consist”), for the sale of its PrintBOS product line in consideration of $500 and a contingent payment in each of the next three years equal to 6%-10% of future revenues exceeding $1,000 per year, Consist will generate from the PrintBOS product line. The Company has recognized a gain of $273 in 2005 with respect of this sale. As of December 31, 2005, the Company has received $375 and the remaining $125 has been placed in an escrow for a period of three years, pending repayment of royalties to the Office of the Chief Scientist (“OCS”) on sales of PrintBOS products. For the year ended December 31, 2006, total revenues generated by Consist from the PrintBOS products were less than $1,000 and, therefore, the Company did not receive any royalties in 2006.

Sale of communication segment:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On December 31, 2005, the Company sold its communication segment, including its property and equipment, goodwill, technology, trade name, existing distribution channels and related contingent liability to the Office of the Chief Scientist to IP Gear Ltd. (“IP Gear”), a wholly owned Israeli subsidiary of Qualmax. The consideration paid to the Company in the transaction was approximately 3.2 million Qualmax shares of Common stock constituting approximately 16% of Qualmax’s total issued and outstanding Common stock and $800 in royalties to be paid at a rate of 4% from future revenues IP Gear will generate from the disposed segment (“Royalties”) with the entire $800 due no later than 90 days from the third anniversary of the closing of the transaction. Additional shares may be issued to the Company at the end of four consecutive fiscal quarters following the closing of the transaction, contingent upon IP Gear generating by then a certain level of revenues from the disposed segment (“Earn Out Shares”). The maximum number of Earn Out Shares that may further be issued to the Company is approximately 1 million, constituting an additional 5% of Qualmax outstanding shares. In June 2006, the Company received 250,000 of Qualmax shares, valued at $1.43 per share, as part of the Earn Out Shares consideration.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Company received certain piggy-back registration rights with respect to the Qualmax shares. The Company does not have a representative on the Board of Qualmax.

In addition, the Company and IP Gear entered into an Outsourcing Agreement, pursuant to which the Company provided IP Gear with certain operating services relating to the sold communication segment through December 31, 2006. In accordance with the Outsourcing Agreement, the first three months of services were provided for no charge. For services rendered from April 2006 through December 2006, the Company charged IP Gear $240, which was paid by issuing the Company Qualmax subsidiary’s shares in December 2006, as part of an agreement signed by the parties (see below).

 

 

 

The Company also granted a bridge loan to IP Gear in the amount of $1,000. The term of the loan is three years and it bears interest equal to the Prime rate plus 2.5%, up to a maximum of 12%. In the first 18 months, IP Gear shall pay only the interest accrued on the loan and monthly principal and interest payments shall commence thereafter. The loan granted to IP Gear is secured by a first priority floating charge, which may be subordinated to a charge in favor of a major financial institution in the event such charge is recorded. In addition, repayment is guaranteed by Qualmax Inc.

 

 

 

The loan agreement provides that if the disposed segment would incur in the first quarter of 2006, losses that exceed $250, the principal amount to be repaid under the loan shall be reduced by the excess losses. In such event, Qualmax shall issue to the Company additional shares of Common stock against such reduction, valued at a predetermined price of $1.43 per share. Pursuant to this provision, in May 2006, Qualmax issued to the Company 244,755 shares, at a price of $1.43 per share, resulting in an amount of $350. In June 2006, Qualmax issued BOS an additional 174,825 shares, reducing the principal amount of the loan to $400 following which, the Company holds approximately 17.8% of Qualmax’s total issued and outstanding Common stock. As part of the agreement signed between the parties in December 2006, the loan was fully repaid by issuance of additional shares of Qualmax (see below).

 

 

 

Qualmax also issued to the Company a five-year warrant for the purchase of up to 107,143 shares, constituting less than 1%, of its outstanding shares in Qualmax, at the exercise price of $2.80 per share (“Warrants”). The Company received certain piggy-back registration rights with respect to the shares underlying the warrants.

 

 

 

The Company signed in December 2006 an agreement with Qualmax and its subsidiaries, New World Brands Inc. (“NWB”) and IP Gear, pursuant to which, the outstanding debt of Qualmax to the Company, in the amount of $1,480 (which included long-term debt, outsourcing fees, royalties and other debts), was repaid to the Company through the issuance of 5.506652 shares of series A Convertible Preferred stock of NWB which are convertible into approximately 16,450,000 shares of NWB Common stock, reflecting a conversion rate of $0.09 per one share of Common stock. Conversion of the series A Preferred stock into Common stock will take place automatically upon effectiveness of an amendment to the NWB’s certificate of incorporation authorizing an increase in the number of outstanding shares of Common stock. Following the conversion, the Company holds 18% in Qualmax and 4.2% in NWB. The Company’s registration rights with respect to the Qualmax shares shall also apply to NWB shares.

In connection with the transaction, the Company agreed to grant NWB, contingent upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, a three-year option to purchase up to 30% of the NWB’s shares held by the Company, at prices ranging from $0.12 to $0.24 per share of Common stock.

 

 

 

In addition, the Company agreed to enter into a lock up agreement, restricting the transfer of the share holdings in Qualmax and in NWB, for up to two years.

 

 

 

The Company accounts for its holdings in Qualmax shares on the cost basis since it is unable to exercise significant influence over Qualmax financial policies and since the shares held in Qualmax are restricted stock which do not meet the fair value availability criteria of FAS 115.

NOTE 2:   –

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

 

 

 

The consolidated financial statements are prepared according to United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

 

 

 

a.

Use of estimates:

 

 

 

 

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

 

 

 

b.

Financial statements in U.S. dollars:

 

 

 

 

 

A substantial portion of the Company’s revenues is generated in U.S. dollar (“dollars”). In addition, most of the Company’s costs are incurred in dollars. Company’s management believes that the dollar is the primary currency of the economic environment in which the Company operates. Thus, the functional and reporting currency of the Company is the dollar.

 

 

 

 

 

Accordingly, monetary accounts maintained in currencies other than the dollar are remeasured into U.S. dollars in accordance with Statement 52 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) “Foreign Currency Translation”. All transactions gains and losses from the remeasurement of monetary balance sheet items are reflected in the statement of operations as financial income or expenses as appropriate.

 

 

 

 

 

The financial statements of Odem, a subsidiary, whose functional currency as of December 31, 2004, was other than dollar have been translated into dollars, but on April 1, 2005, due to significant changes in circumstances initiated by management, like transition of Odem’s majority of sales, expenses and budget from New Israeli Shekels (NIS) to dollars, indicate a functional currency change. Since the functional currency changed from a foreign currency to the reporting currency, dollars, as of March 31, 2005, the translation adjustments for non-monetary assets prior to the change, became the accounting basis for the periods starting April 1, 2005.

 

 

 

 

c.

Principles of consolidation:

 

 

 

 

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances including profits from intercompany sales not yet realized outside the Company have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

 

 

 

d.

Cash equivalents:

 

 

 

 

 

Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash originally purchased with maturities of less than three months.

e.

Marketable securities:

 

 

 

 

 

The Company accounts for investments in debt securities in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” (“FAS 115”). Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments in debt and equity securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such determinations at each balance sheet date. Until November 30, 2005, debt securities have been classified as held-to-maturity since the Company had the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity and they are stated at amortized cost. The amortized cost of held-to-maturity securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. Such amortization and decline in value judged to be other than temporary and interest are included in financial income, net. Beginning December 1, 2005, the debt securities are classified as “available-for-sale” since the Company does not have the intent to hold the securities to maturity, and are stated at fair value. Due to the change in classification of the securities to “available-for-sale”, the unrealized holding gain at the date of transfer has been reported in other comprehensive income.

 

 

 

 

 

Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value with unrealized gains, and are reported as a separate item under “other comprehensive loss”.

 

 

 

 

f.

Inventories:

 

 

 

 

 

Inventory write-offs are provided to cover risks arising from slow-moving items or technological obsolescence. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, inventory is presented net of $100 and $100, respectively, for technological obsolescence and slow moving items (see also Note 4).

 

 

 

 

 

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined as follows:

Raw and packaging materials - moving average cost method.

Products in progress and finished products - moving average cost method.

 

 

 

 

g.

Grants and royalty-bearing grants:

 

 

 

 

 

Grants and royalty-bearing grants from the Chief Scientist of the Ministry of Industry and Trade in Israel for funding certain approved research and development projects are recognized at the time the Company is entitled to such grants, on the basis of the related costs incurred, and are presented as a deduction of research and development costs.

 

 

 

 

h.

Investment in an affiliate:

 

 

 

 

 

An affiliate is a company in which the Company is able to exercise significant influence, but that is not a subsidiary and is accounted for by the equity method, net of write-down for decrease in fair value which is not of a temporary nature. The Company’s investment in Surf has been included as an affiliate until September 30, 2005 (see Note 6).

NOTE 2:   –

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

 

 

 

 

 

The investment in an affiliate represents investments in Ordinary shares and Preferred shares of that company. The Company applies EITF 99-10, “Percentage Used to Determine the Amount of Equity Method Losses”. Accordingly, losses of the affiliate are recognized based on the ownership level of the particular security of the affiliate held by the Company.

 

 

 

 

 

The Company’s investment in this company is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investment may not be recoverable, in accordance with Accounting Principle Board Opinion 18 “The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock” (“APB 18”). During 2005, an impairment of $1,385 has been recorded in “equity in losses of an affiliate” in the statement of operations. In 2004, based on management’s analysis, no impairment losses were identified.

 

 

 

 

i

Investment in other companies:

 

 

 

 

 

Investment in other companies are investments in which the Company is unable to exercise significant influence over the investee’s financial policies and which do not meet the fair value availability criteria of FAS 115 (“Readily Determined Sales Price Currently Available on a Security Exchange”), consequently such investments are accounted for by the cost method.

 

 

 

 

 

The Company’s investment in such companies is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investment may not be recoverable in accordance with APB 18. During 2006, an impairment loss of $39 has been recorded. During 2005 and 2004, no impairment losses have been identified.

 

 

 

 

j.

Property, plant and equipment:

 

 

 

 

 

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated by using the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, at the following annual rates:

k.

Impairment of long-lived assets:

 

 

 

 

 

The Company’s long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS 144”) whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. During 2006, 2005 and 2004, no impairment losses have been identified.

 

 

 

 

l.

Goodwill:

 

 

 

 

 

Goodwill represents excess of the costs over the net assets of businesses acquired. SFAS 142 requires goodwill to be tested for impairment at least annually or between annual tests in certain circumstances, and written-down when impaired. Goodwill attributable to each of the reporting units is tested for impairment by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying value. Fair value is determined using income and market approaches. Significant estimates used in the methodologies include estimates of future cash flows, future short-term and long-term growth rates, weighted average cost of capital and estimates of market multiples for each of the reportable units. During 2006, 2005 and 2004, no impairment losses have been identified.

 

 

 

 

m.

Research and development costs:

 

 

 

 

 

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 86 “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed,” (“SFAS 86”) requires capitalization of certain software development costs subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility. Based on the Company’s product development process, technological feasibility is established upon completion of a working model. Research and development costs incurred in the process of developing product improvements or new products, are generally charged to expenses as incurred, net of participation of the Office of the Chief Scientist of the Israeli Ministry of Industry and Trade. Costs incurred by the Company between completion of the working model and the point at which the product is ready for general releases are insignificant.

 

 

 

 

n.

Severance pay:

 

 

 

 

 

The Company’s liability for severance pay for Israeli resident employees is calculated pursuant to the Israeli severance pay law based on the most recent salary of the employees multiplied by the number of years of employment as of the balance sheet date. Employees are entitled to one month’s salary for each year of employment or a portion thereof. The Company’s liability for its Israeli resident employees is covered by insurance policies designed solely for distributing severance pay. The value of these policies is recorded as an asset in the Company’s balance sheet.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

 

 

 

 

The insurance policies include profits accumulated up to the balance sheet date. The insurance policies may be withdrawn only upon complying with the Israeli severance pay law or labor agreements. The value of the deposited funds is based on the cash surrendered value of these policies and includes profits.

 

 

 

 

 

Severance expenses for 2006, 2005 and 2004 amounted to $298, $256 and $214, respectively.

 

 

 

 

o.

Revenue recognition:

 

 

 

 

 

The Company sells its products through direct sales, distributors and resellers channels.

 

 

 

 

 

The Company derives its revenues from the sale of products, license fees for its products, commissions, support and services.

 

 

 

 

 

Revenues from product sales are recognized in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” (“SAB 104”) when delivery has occurred, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the vendor’s fee is fixed or determinable, no further obligation exists, and collectibility is reasonably assured.

 

 

 

 

 

Revenue from license fees is recognized in accordance with Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2 “Software Revenue Recognition”, when persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, delivery of the product has occurred, no significant obligations with regard to implementation remain, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is probable. The Company generally does not grant a right of return to its customers. When a right of return exists, the Company defers revenue until the right of return expires, at which time revenue is recognized provided that all other revenue recognition criteria have been met.

 

 

 

 

 

Revenues support is recognized ratably over the period of the support contract. The fair value of the support is determined based on the price charged when it is sold separately or renewed.

 

 

 

 

 

Revenues from commissions are recognized upon their actual receipt, since under agreements with suppliers consideration is received on the basis of collection from customers.

 

 

 

 

p.

Warranty:

 

 

 

 

 

BOScom provides a warranty of between 3 to 36 months at no extra charge, whereby defective hardware covered by the warranty should be sent back to the company. The Company estimates the costs that may be incurred under its warranty and records a liability in the amount of such costs at the time product revenue is recognized. Factors that affect the Company’s warranty liability include the number of installed units, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims, and cost per claim. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary.

q.

Income taxes:

 

 

 

 

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. This Statement prescribes the use of the liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liability account balances are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company has provided valuation allowances, in respect of deferred tax assets resulting from tax loss carryforward and other reserves and allowances due to its history of operating losses and current uncertainty concerning its ability to realize these deferred tax assets in the future.

 

 

 

 

r.

Concentrations of credit risk:

 

 

 

 

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, other accounts receivable and marketable securities.

 

 

 

 

 

Cash and cash equivalents are invested mainly in U.S. dollars in deposits with major banks in Israel. Investments in marketable securities are conducted through a bank in Israel and include investments in corporate and governmental debentures. Management believes that the financial institutions that hold the Company’s investments are financially sound, the portfolio is well diversified and, accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to these investments.

 

 

 

 

 

The trade receivables of the Company are derived from sales to customers located primarily in Israel, United States, Europe and the Far East. The Company generally does not require collateral; however, in certain circumstances, the Company may require letters of credit, other collateral, additional guarantees or advanced payments. An allowance for doubtful accounts is determined with respect to specific debts that are doubtful of collection.

 

 

 

 

 

The loan granted to IP Gear is secured by a first priority floating charge, which may be subordinated to a charge in favor of a major financial institution in the event such charge is recorded. In addition, repayment is guaranteed by Qualmax Inc. (see Note 1d).

 

 

 

 

 

The Company has no off-balance-sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, option contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements.

s.

Basic and diluted net earnings (loss) per share:

 

 

 

 

 

Basic net earnings (loss) per share are calculated based on the weighted average number of Ordinary shares outstanding during each year. Diluted net earnings (loss) per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of Ordinary shares outstanding during each year, plus dilutive potential Ordinary shares considered outstanding during the year, in accordance with SFAS 128, “Earnings Per Share”.

 

 

 

 

 

The total number of shares related to the outstanding options and warrants excluded from the calculations of diluted net earnings (loss) per share, since they would have an anti-dilutive effect, were 1,386,424, 1,506,803 and 855,783 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

 

 

 

 

t.

Accounting for share-based compensation:

 

 

 

 

 

On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”) which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense based on estimated fair values for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors. SFAS 123(R) supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”), for periods beginning in fiscal 2006. In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 107 (“SAB 107”) relating to SFAS 123(R). The Company has applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of SFAS 123(R).

 

 

 

 

 

SFAS 123(R) requires companies to estimate the fair value of equity-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company accounted for equity-based awards to employees and directors using the intrinsic value method in accordance with APB 25 as allowed under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 123, “Accounting for Share-based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”).

 

 

 

 

 

The Company adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective transition method, which requires the application of the Accounting Standard starting from January 1, 2006, the first day of the Company’s fiscal year 2006. Under that transition method, compensation cost recognized in the year ended December 31, 2006 includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the date of grant fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the date of grant fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). Results for prior periods have not been restated.

NOTE 2:  –  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

 

 

 

 

 

Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company applied the intrinsic value method of accounting for stock options as prescribed by APB 25, whereby compensation expense is equal to the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the stock over the exercise price on the date of grant of the award.

 

 

 

 

 

The Company recognizes compensation expenses for the value of its awards granted subsequent to January 1, 2006 based on the straight line method over the requisite service period of each of the awards, net of estimated forfeitures. SFAS 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Estimated forfeitures are based on actual historical pre-vesting forfeitures. For awards granted prior to January 1, 2006, the Company recognizes compensation expenses based on the accelerated attribution method over the requisite service period of each of the awards. Forfeitures were previously accounted for as they occurred, but have been estimated with the adoption of SFAS 123(R) for those awards not yet vested. The compensation expenses related to the stock options granted to employees, for the year ended December 31, 2006, was $360.

 

 

 

 

 

As a result of adopting SFAS 123(R) on January 1, 2006, the Company’s income before income taxes and net income for the year ended December 31, 2006, is $370 lower than if it had continued to account for share-based compensation under APB 25. Basic and diluted net earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2006, are $0.06 and $0.05, respectively, lower than if the Company had continued to account for share-based compensation under APB 25.

 

 

 

 

 

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes options pricing model. The option-pricing model requires a number of assumptions, of which the most significant are expected stock price volatility and the expected option term. Expected volatility was calculated based upon actual historical stock price movements over the most recent periods ending on the date of grant, equal to the expected option term. The expected option term represents the average of the options contractual life and the vesting period in accordance with SAB 107 guidance. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield from U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with an equivalent term. The Company has historically not paid dividends and has no foreseeable plans to pay dividends.

 

 

 

 

 

The fair value for options granted in 2006 and 2005 is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes options pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

u.

Fair value of financial instruments:

 

 

 

 

 

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

 

 

 

 

 

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, other accounts receivable and trade payables approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturities of such instruments. The fair value for marketable securities is based on quoted market prices. The fair value of investments in other companies is based on independent third-party evaluations.

 

 

 

 

v.

Impact of recently issued accounting pronouncements:

 

 

 

 

 

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”), an interpretation of FASB Statement 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. The Interpretation addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under FIN 48, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the tax authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. FIN 48 applies to all tax positions related to income taxes subject to SFAS 109. This includes tax positions considered to be “routine” as well as those with a high degree of uncertainty. FIN 48 specifically prohibits the use of a valuation allowance as a substitute for de-recognition of tax positions. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective beginning January 1, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the impact that FIN 48 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

 

 

 

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). This Standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the impact that SFAS 157 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits companies to choose to measure certain financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The Standard requires that unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected be reported in earnings. SFAS 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years, although earlier adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that SFAS 159 will have on its consolidated financial statements

INVESTMENT IN OTHER COMPANIES


 

 

 

 

a.

Investment in Surf Communication Systems Ltd.:

 

 

 

 

 

In November 2001, the Company invested $1,000 as part of a private placement in Surf Communication Systems Ltd. (“Surf”). At the same time, the Company converted its convertible loan in the amount of $1,042 (principal and accrued interest) into Preferred shares of Surf at an exercise price equal to Surf’s fair value as determined in the investment agreement. As a result of this private placement, the Company’s holding in Surf was diluted to 17%. Accordingly, the investment was accounted based on the cost accounting method.

 

 

 

 

 

In March 2003, the Company engaged with Catalyst Investors L.P. (“Catalyst”), in order to purchase additional 191,548 series C Preferred shares of Surf. In consideration, the Company issued to Catalyst 633,102 Ordinary shares, at a purchase price of $2.77, aggregating to $1,755 and incurred transaction cost of $155. The value of the Ordinary shares issued was determined based on the average market price of the Company’s Ordinary shares over the period including two days before and after the terms of the transaction were agreed to and announced.

 

 

 

 

 

As a result of this investment, the Company had the ability to exercise significant influence over Surf. As a result, the investment in Surf had become qualified to be accounted for under the equity method. According to APB 18, when an investment qualifies for use of the equity method, the investor should adopt the equity method of accounting by adjusting retroactively the investment, results of operations (current and prior periods presented), and retained earnings, in a manner consistent with the accounting for a step-by-step acquisition of a subsidiary.

 

 

 

 

 

In September 2005, Surf entered into a private placement that is considered an event of change in circumstances having a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment. Therefore, the Company has evaluated its investment in Surf and determined that it amounts to $722 as of December 31, 2005 based on management’s analysis (supported by an independent third-party valuation). As a result, the Company has recorded an impairment of $1,385, which has been included in the equity in losses of an affiliate in the statement of operations for the year December 31, 2005.

INVESTMENT IN OTHER COMPANIES (Cont.)


 

 

 

 

 

In June 2006, as part of the investment round, the Company invested $300 in Surf, following which, the Company holds 7.8% of Surf’s issued and outstanding shares.

 

 

 

 

 

Moreover, following the private placement in Surf, the Company’s voting rights have been diluted to 8.7% of the total voting rights in Surf. As a result, the Company ceased to have the ability to exercise significant influence over Surf and, accordingly, the adjusted carrying amount of the investment of $722 is accounted for based on the cost accounting method.

 

 

 

 

 

Summarized combined financial information of Surf for the years in which the investment was accounted using the equity method was as follows:

LONG-TERM CONVERTIBLE NOTE

 

 

 

 

On June 10, 2004, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“the Purchase Agreement”), with Laurus Master Fund Ltd. (“the Investor”), under which the Company issued to the Investor in a private placement (i) a Secured Convertible Term Note of a $2,000 principal amount, due June 10, 2007 (“the Note”); and (ii) a warrant to purchase 130,000 Ordinary shares at an exercise price of $4.04 per share (“the Warrant”). According to the agreement, several fees in the amount of $115 were paid to the Investor. These fees are presented as discount of the principal convertible loan. The Note is convertible into Ordinary shares at a price of $3.08 per share. The principal amount of the Note is repayable in monthly installments, commencing September 2004, in the initial amount of $20 eventually increasing to $74. The Note bears prime interest rate plus 3% which subject to reduction in certain conditions. The Warrant is exercisable, in whole or in part, until June 10, 2011. Pursuant to its undertaking in the Registration Rights Agreement with the Investor the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement on Form F-3 covering the resale of Ordinary shares that are issuable upon conversion of the Note and/or exercise of the Warrants, and/or issuable in payment of principal and interest on the Note. The Registration Rights Agreement provided that any delay in registration and/or effectiveness of the underlying shares of the transaction, or failure to maintain their effectiveness, will result in penalties to be paid in cash, as liquidated damages. The registration statement became effective on March 11, 2005. Due to the delay in the effectiveness of the registration of the shares, the Company paid the Investor liquidated damages of $ 92.

NOTE 13:  –

LONG-TERM CONVERTIBLE NOTE (Cont.)

 

 

 

The Note conversion price is subject to proportional adjustment in the event of stock splits, combinations, subdivisions of the Ordinary shares or if dividend is paid on the Ordinary shares in Ordinary shares. In addition, if the Company issues stock in certain types of transactions at a price lower than the initial conversion price, then the conversion price will be adjusted to a lower price based on a weighted average formula.

 

 

 

The fair value of the warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes options pricing model with the following assumptions: a risk-free interest rate of 3.34%, a dividend yield of 0%, a volatility of the expected market price of the Company’s Ordinary shares of 100% and a weighted-average contractual life of 7 year. The fair value of the warrants in the amount of $99 is presented as a component in shareholders’ equity. Since the effective conversion price was grater than the share price at the commitment date, no beneficial conversion feature exists.

 

 

 

In March 2005, the Investor elected to convert $308 of the Convertible note principal into 100,000 Ordinary shares of the Company. Due to the private placement agreement secured by the Company in June 2005, the conversion price was adjusted to $2.94 per share, and in July 2005, the Investor completed the conversion of the balance of the Convertible Note principal, which had not been previously converted or repaid, and the accrued interest into an additional 540,293 Ordinary shares for approximately $1,580.

 

 

 

In September 2005, the Company entered into a Second Securities Purchase Agreement (“the Second Purchase Agreement”) with the Investor, under which the Company issued to the Investor in a private placement (i) a Secured Convertible Term Note of a $1,500 principal amount, due September 2008 (“the Note”), and (ii) a warrant to purchase 73,052 ordinary shares at an exercise price of $4.04 per share (“the Warrant”). According to the Second Agreement, several fees in the total amount of $116 were paid to the Investor. These fees are presented as a discount of the principal convertible loan. The Note is convertible into Ordinary shares at a price of $3.08 per share. The principal amount of the Note is repayable in monthly installments, commencing as of January 2006, in the initial amount of $15 eventually increasing to $55. The Note bears prime interest rate plus 1.5% which is subject to reduction under certain conditions. The Warrant is exercisable, in whole or in part, until September 29, 2012. Pursuant to its undertaking in the Registration Rights agreement with the Investor, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement on Form F-3 covering the resale of Ordinary shares that is issuable upon conversion of the Note and/or exercise of the Warrants, and/or issuable in payment of principal and interest on the Note. The Registration Rights agreement provided that any delay in registration and/or effectiveness of the underlying shares of the transaction, or failure to maintain their effectiveness, will result in penalties to be paid in cash, as liquidated damages. The registration statement became effective on February 8, 2006.

 

 

 

The note conversion price is subject to proportional adjustment in the event of stock splits, combinations, subdivisions of the Ordinary shares or if dividend is paid on the Ordinary shares in Ordinary shares. In addition, if BOS issues stock in certain types of transactions at a price lower than the initial conversion price, then the conversion price will be adjusted to a lower price based on a weighted average formula.

LONG-TERM CONVERTIBLE NOTE (Cont.)

 

 

 

The fair value of the warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes options pricing model with the following assumptions: a risk-free interest rate of 4.08%, a dividend yield of 0%, a volatility of the expected market price of the Company’s Ordinary shares of 100% and a weighted-average contractual life of seven years. The fair value of the warrants in the amount of $144 is offset against the note, amortized over the period of the note and presented as a component in shareholders’ equity.

 

 

 

On August 17, 2006 the Company entered into a Third Securities Purchase Agreement (“the Third Agreement”) with the investor under which the Company issued to the Investor in a private placement (i) a third Convertible Term Note of a $1,500 principal amount, due August 2009 (“the Note”), and (ii) a warrant to purchase 73,052 Ordinary shares at an exercise price of $4.04 per share (“the Warrant”). The Note is convertible into Ordinary shares at a price of $3.08 per share for the first 500,000 and $4.08 for any additional amount payable thereunder. The principal amount of the Note is repayable in monthly installments, commencing as of December 2006, in the initial amount of $15 eventually increasing to $55. The Note bears prime interest rate plus 1.5% which is subject to reduction under certain conditions. The Warrant is exercisable, in whole or in part, until August 16, 2013 at an exercise price of $4.04 for the first 24,351 Ordinary shares acquirable thereunder, and of $5.30 per share for the additional 48,701 acquirable thereunder. Pursuant to its undertaking in the Registration Rights agreement with the Investor, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement on Form F-3 covering the resale of Ordinary shares that is issuable upon conversion of the Note and/or exercise of the Warrants, and/or issuable in payment of principal and interest on the Note. The Registration Rights agreement provided that any delay in registration and/or effectiveness of the underlying shares of the transaction, or failure to maintain their effectiveness, will result in penalties to be paid in cash, as liquidated damages. The registration statement became effective on December 5, 2006.

 

 

 

The fair value of the warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes options pricing model with the following assumptions: a risk-free interest rate of 4.83%, a dividend yield of 0%, a volatility of the expected market price of the Company’s Ordinary shares of 80% and a weighted-average contractual life of seven years. The fair value of the warrants in the amount of $131 is offset against the note, amortized over the period of the note and presented as a component in shareholders’ equity.

a.

Commitments:

 

 

 

 

 

1.

Royalty commitments:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

a)

Under the Company’s research and development agreements with the Office of the Chief Scientist (“OCS”) and pursuant to applicable laws, the Company is required to pay royalties at the rate of 3.5% of sales of products developed with funds provided by the OCS, up to an amount equal to 100% of the research and development grants (dollar-linked) received from the OCS. The obligation to pay these royalties is contingent upon actual sales of the products. Royalties payable with respect to grants received under programs approved by the OCS after January 1, 1999, are subject to interest on the U.S. dollar-linked value of the total grants received at the annual rate of LIBOR applicable to U.S. dollar deposits at the time the grants are received.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As of December 31, 2006, the Company has an outstanding contingent obligation to pay royalties in the amount of approximately $3,430, in respect of these grants.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

b)

The Israeli Government, through the Overseas Marketing Fund, awarded the Company grants for participation in expenses for overseas marketing. The Company is committed to pay royalties to the Fund for Encouragement of Marketing Activities at the rate of 3% of the increase in export sales, up to the amount of the grants received by the Company linked to the dollar and bearing interest of LIBOR.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As of December 31, 2006, the Company has an outstanding contingent obligation to pay royalties of $89 with respect to these grants.

 

 

 

 

 

2.

Other commitments:

 

 

 

 

 

 

The facilities of the Company are rented under operating lease agreements that expire on various dates ending in 2009. Minimum future rental payments for 2007, 2008 and 2009 are $39, 14 and $14 respectively.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Company’s motor vehicles are rented under various cancelable operating lease agreements. The lease agreements for the motor vehicles expire on various dates ending in 2008. The maximum breach of contract fees can amount to $40.

b.

1.

In July 2002, the Company received a claim letter from a car leasing vendor, under which it claims that the Company’s termination notice of the leasing agreement in March 2002 constitutes a breach of the agreement and the vendor is demanding compensation in which the nominal claim amount is of $292. No legal proceeding has yet been filed. At this stage, according to the Company’s legal counsel assessment, the prospects of vendor to prevail and recover a significant amount seem remote. The financial statements do not include any provision in that regard.

 

 

 

 

 

 

2.

In 1998, as part of PacInfo Share Purchase Agreement between the Company and Mr. Lee and Ms. Lee (“the Sellers”), the Company may be obligated to grant the Sellers a loan on a full recourse basis for certain tax payments the Sellers may be liable for and reimburse the Sellers for certain interest on taxes that they may owe, currently estimated at approximately $2 million. The Company will receive a security interest in shares of the Company that the Sellers holds at the time of the loan with a fair market value as of the date of the loan of at least 125% of the amount of the loan as security for the repayment of the loan. It is possible that the windup of PacInfo during 2002 and 2003 may have triggered such a tax event for the Sellers, which would result in an obligation by the Company to lend the Sellers such amount and to reimburse them for interest expenses incidental to the tax event. Based on the Company’s legal counsel opinion and management estimation, no provision was recorded.

 

 

 

 

 

 

3.

In April 2006, BOSâNOVA EURL, a French company and former distributor of the Company, served the Company with a claim filed with the French Trade Tribunal alleging breach of exclusive distributor rights in France and asserting ownership to certain intellectual property rights in the Company’s products. The plaintiff seeks an amount of approximately 3.3 million Euros and additional remedies. This claim follows a previous motion for temporary injunctive relief that was filed against the Company’s new French distributor, said motion ultimately denied by French Trade Tribunal. The Company assesses the prospects of claim to prevail and recover a significant amount, as remote. The financial statements include provision in the respect. (See also Note 20).

Reduction in corporate tax rate:

 

 

 

 

 

In June 2004, an amendment to the Income Tax Ordinance (No. 140 and Temporary Provision), 2004 was passed by the “Knesset” (Israeli parliament) and on July 25, 2005, another law was passed, the amendment to the Income Tax Ordinance (No. 147) 2005, according to which the corporate tax rate is to be progressively reduced to the following tax rates: 2004 - 35%, 2005 - 34%, 2006 - 31%, 2007 - 29%, 2008 - 27%, 2009 - 26%, 2010 and thereafter - 25%.

 

 

 

 

 

The Odem operation is subject to regular income tax rate while the Company and BOScom enjoy the status of an “Approved Enterprise”, as described below.

 

 

 

 

b.

Tax benefits under the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959 (“the Investment Law”):

 

 

 

 

 

The Company’s production facilities have been granted an “Approved Enterprise” status under the Investment Law, with respect to four separate investment programs. According to the Investments Law, the Company has elected to receive for the first program state-guaranteed loans and grants and for the second and third programs, the Company has elected to receive only state-guaranteed loans. As for the fourth program, the Company has elected the “alternative benefits” and has waived Government grants in return for a tax exemption.

NOTE 16:  –

TAXES ON INCOME (Cont.)

 

 

 

 

 

The Company is also a “Foreign Investors’ Company”, as defined by the above mentioned law, and as such, is entitled to a 10-year period of benefits and to an additional reduction in tax rates, up to 10% or 25% (based on the percentage of foreign ownership in each taxable year).

 

 

 

 

 

Income from the second, third and fourth programs, which commenced operations in 1992, 1994, 1997, respectively, may be exempt from income tax for a period of ten years commencing with the first year in which they generate taxable income. During 2002, as part of the transfer of operations from the Company to BOScom, all tax benefits that were related to the “Approved Enterprise” of the Company were transferred to BOScom. In addition, since 2002, the Company’s investments are not subject to the “Approved Enterprise” program. Accordingly, taxable income generated in that period will be split according to the assets ratio method into a taxable income that is entitled to the benefits of the “Approved Enterprise” and into an income that will be taxed at the regular corporate tax rate as described in article a above.

 

 

 

 

 

BOScom also has a production facility, which was granted an “Approved Enterprise” status and had a separate investment program. BOScom elected to receive the “alternative benefits”. Income derived from BOScom’s investment programs, which commenced operations in 1997 and 2002, may be exempt from income tax for a period of ten years commencing with the first year in which taxable income is generated.

 

 

 

 

 

The period of tax benefits detailed above is subject to limits of the earlier of 12 years from commencement of production, or 14 years from receiving the approval. Accordingly, the period of benefits relating to all investment programs expire in 2001 through 2014.

 

 

 

 

 

The entitlement to the above benefits is conditional upon the Company’s and BOScom’s fulfilling the conditions stipulated by the above law, regulations published thereunder and the instruments of approval for the specific investments in “Approved Enterprises”. In the event of failure to comply with these conditions, the benefits may be canceled and the Company and BOScom may be required to refund the amount of the benefits, in whole or in part, including interest. The management believes that the companies are meeting the aforementioned conditions.

 

 

 

 

 

The tax-exempt income attributable to the “Approved Enterprise” can be distributed to shareholders without imposing tax liability on the Company only upon the complete liquidation of the Company. In the event of a distribution of such tax-exempt income as a cash dividend in a manner other than in the complete liquidation of the Company and BOScom, the Company and BOScom will be required to pay tax at the rate of 10% to 25% on the amount distributed (based on the percentage of foreign ownership in each taxable year). In addition, these dividends will be subject to 15% withholding tax.

 

 

 

 

 

As of December 31, 2006, the Company and BOScom have not yet utilized any tax benefit since they have not generated any taxable income.

NOTE 16:  –

TAXES ON INCOME (Cont.)

 

 

 

 

 

If the Company and BOScom derive income from sources other than an “Approved Enterprise”, such income will be taxable at the regular corporate tax rate as described in a above.

 

 

 

 

 

On April 1, 2005, an amendment to the Investment Law came into effect (“the Amendment”) and has significantly changed the provisions of the Investment Law. The Amendment limits the scope of enterprises which may be approved by the Investment Center by setting criteria for the approval of a facility as an “Approved Enterprise”, such as provisions generally requiring that at least 25% of the “Approved Enterprise’s” income will be derived from export. Additionally, the Amendment enacted major changes in the manner in which tax benefits are awarded under the Investment Law so that companies no longer require Investment Center approval in order to qualify for tax benefits. However, the Investment Law provides that terms and benefits included in any certificate of approval already granted will remain subject to the provisions of the Investment Law as they were on the date of such approval. Therefore, the Israeli subsidiary’s existing “Approved Enterprise” will generally not be subject to the provisions of the Amendment. As a result of the amendment, tax-exempt income generated under the provision of the new law will subject the Company to taxes upon distribution or liquidation and the Company may be required to record deferred tax liability with respect to such tax-exempt income. As of December 31, 2006, the Company did not generate income subject to the provision of the new law.

 

 

 

 

c.

Loss carryforward:

 

 

 

 

 

Domestic (Israel):

 

 

 

 

 

The Company and its Israeli subsidiary have accumulated losses for Israel income tax purposes as of December 31, 2006, in the amount of approximately $30,985. These losses may be carryforward (linked to the Israeli Consumer Price Index (“CPI”)) and offset against taxable income in the future for an indefinite period.

 

 

 

 

 

Foreign:

 

 

 

 

 

As of December 31, 2006, the U.S. subsidiaries which were classified as discontinued operations had U.S. Federal and State net operating loss carryforward of approximately $10,265, that can be carried forward and offset against taxable income and expire through 2022. Utilization of U.S. net operating losses may be subject to substantial annual limitations due to the “change in ownership” provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and similar state law provisions. The annual limitations may result in the expiration of net operating losses before utilization.

 

 

 

 

 

As of December 31, 2006, BOS UK had net operating loss carryforward of approximately $3,500. In February 2006, the Company filed with the UK Companies House an application to dissolve BOS UK.

SEGMENTS AND GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION


 

 

 

 

Commencing 2006 and subsequent to the disposal of the communication segment in 2006 and the acquisitions of Odem and Quasar, the Company manages its business with two reportable segments, consisting of the software solutions segment (previously named the connectivity segment) and the supply chain solutions segment (previously named the electronic components segment).

 

 

 

The Company’s management makes financial decisions and allocates resources, based on the information it receives from its internal management system. The Company allocates resources and assesses performance for each operating segment using information about revenues, gross profit and operating income (loss) before interest and taxes.

 

 

 

a.

Revenues, gross profit and operating income (loss) for the operating segments for the years 2006, 2005 and 2004 were as follow:
