REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and 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, 2007 and 2006, 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, 2007. 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 audit. We did not audit the financial statements of Lynk USA Inc., a wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary, which statements reflect total assets constituting 14% in 2007 and total revenues constituting 7% in 2007 of the related consolidated totals. These statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Lynk USA Inc., is based solely on the report of the other auditors.

          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 audit and the report of the other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

          In our opinion, based on our audit 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, 2007 and 2006, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

          As discussed in Note 2s 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 Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Lynk USA, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Lynk USA, Inc. (the Company) and its subsidiary as of December 31, 2007, and the related consolidated statement of operation, statement of changes in shareholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year then ended. 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 audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the 2007 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Lynk USA, Inc. and its subsidiary at December 31, 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

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 years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007, total revenues generated by Consist from the PrintBOS products in each year were less than $1,000 and, therefore, the Company did not receive any royalties in 2006 and 2007.

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 losses that exceed $250 in the first quarter of 2006, 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. As of December 31, 2007 the company holds 17.87% of the issued and outstanding Common stock of QMX.

 

 

 

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, 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 16,446,544 shares of NWB

 

 

 

Common stock, reflecting a conversion rate of $0.09 per one share of Common stock. During 2007 NWB converted its series A Preferred stock into Common stock and as a result the company holds as of December 31, 2007, 3.96% of the issued and outstanding Common stock of NWB.

 

 

 

The Company’s registration rights with respect to the Qualmax shares shall also apply to NWB shares. In addition, the Company agreed to enter into a lock up agreement, restricting the transfer of its share holdings in Qualmax and in NWB, for up to two years.

 

 

 

In connection with the transaction, the Company agreed to grant NWB, contingent upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, a three-year option that will expire on December 31, 2009, 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. As of December 31, 2007 the conditions have not been met, hence the option has not been granted and the fair value of the option is $0.

As of December 31, 2007, the restriction on the shares held in Qualmax and NWB terminates within one year and as a result the shares should be recorded at fair value. Therefore, the Company accounts for its holdings in Qualmax and NWB shares as available for sale in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard 115 “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”. Unrealized gains and losses, net of the related tax effect as of December 31, 2007, are included in other comprehensive income. As a result of the decrease in the share prices of these companies as of December 31, 2007, the Company recorded loss of $5,588. On February 18, 2008, New World Brands and Qualmax, entered into an agreement and plan of merger (see note 19), pursuant to which Qualmax will be merged with and into NWB. Upon completion of the merger, which is subject to completion of certain conditions, BOS holding in Qualmax will be converted into holding in New World Brands. These holdings were the consideration for selling the communication division in years 2005 and 2006.

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.

NOTE 2:-

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

 

 

 

 

 

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.

Inventories:

 

 

 

 

 

Inventory write-offs are provided to cover risks arising from slow-moving items or technological obsolescence. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, inventory is presented net of $358 and $100, respectively, for technological obsolescence and slow moving items (see also Note 4).

During 2005, the Company received a royalty-bearing grant from the Chief Scientist of the Ministry of Industry and Trade in Israel, in the amount of $296, for its participation in the discontinued operations. There were no grants in 2007 and 2006.

 

 

 

 

g.

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. In June 2006, following an investment round, the Company holding in Surf decreased to 7.8% of Surf’s issued and outstanding shares. 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 is accounted for based on the cost accounting method (see Note 5).

 

 

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

h.

Investment in other companies:

 

 

 

 

 

Investments in public companies with restrictions of less than one year are classified as available-for-sale under FAS 115 (“Readily Determined Sales Price Currently Available on a Security Exchange”), and are adjusted to their fair market value with unrealized gains and losses recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

 

 

 

 

 

Investment in QMX and NWB presented, commencing December 31, 2007 at the sales price on the applicable Security Exchange, respectively to FAS 115 (See note 1d).

 

 

 

 

 

Management evaluates investments in other companies for evidence of other than temporary declines in value. Accordingly, during 2007 and 2006, an impairment loss, due to other than temporary decline, of $5,588 and $39 has been recorded, accordingly and presented in other income (loss), net in the consolidated statements of operations. During 2005, no impairment losses have been identified.

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:

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 2007, 2006 and 2005, no impairment losses have been identified.

 

 

 

 

k.

Goodwill:

 

 

 

 

 

Goodwill represents excess of the costs over the net assets of businesses acquired. Under SFAS 142 goodwill is not amortized but instead is 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. The reporting units of the Company for purposes of the impairment test are: the Company’s Mobile and RFID operating segments, Summit and Odem which comprise the Supply Chain segment, as these are the components of the business for which discrete financial information is available and segment management regularly reviews the operating results of those components. 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 2007, 2006 and 2005, no impairment losses have been identified.

 

 

 

 

l.

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.

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.

 

 

 

 

 

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 2007, 2006 and 2005 amounted to $275, $298 and $256, respectively.

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.

 

 

 

 

 

Most of the Company’s revenues are generates from sale of its products directly to end-users and indirectly, mostly through independent distributors. Other than pricing terms which may differ due to the volume of purchases between distributors and end-users, there are no material differences in the terms and arrangements involving direct and indirect customers. The majority of the Company’s products sold through agreements with independent distributors are non-exchangeable, non refundable, non-returnable without any rights of price protection or stock rotation. Accordingly, the Company considers the distributors as end-users.

 

 

 

 

 

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 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 from maintenance and support are 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.

 

 

 

 

 

With regard to software arrangements involving multiple elements such as software product and maintenance and support, the Company has adopted Statement of Position No. 98-9, “Modification of SOP No. 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition with Respect to Certain Transactions” (“SOP No. 98-9”). According to SOP No. 98-9, revenues should be allocated to the different elements in the arrangement under the “residual method” when Vendor Specific Objective Evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value exists for all undelivered elements and no VSOE exists for the delivered elements. Under the residual method, at the outset of the arrangement with the customer, the Company defers revenue for the fair value of its undelivered elements (maintenance and support) and recognizes revenue for the remainder of the arrangement fee attributable to the elements initially delivered in the arrangement (software product) when the basic criteria in SOP No. 97-2 have been met. Any discount in the arrangement is allocated to the delivered element. Maintenance and support revenue is deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the maintenance and support agreement. The VSOE of fair value of the undelivered elements (maintenance and support) is determined based on the price charged for the undelivered element when sold separately or for new arrangements, based upon the price that management will determine to charge.

 

 

 

 

o.

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.

 

 

 

 

 

During 2007 and 2006, the Company’s Provision for warranty was $20 and $73, respectively.

 

 

 

 

p.

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.

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes–An interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.

 

 

 

 

 

The Interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainties in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes of income tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under FIN 48, the impact of an uncertain tax position taken or expected to be taken on an income tax return must be recognized in the financial statements at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized in the financial statements unless it is more likely than not of being sustained. The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007. The impact of adopting FIN 48 was insignificant to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

 

 

 

q.

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.

 

 

 

 

 

The trade receivables of the Company are derived from sales to customers located primarily in Israel, South America, North America and Europe. 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 Company has no off-balance-sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, option contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements.

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 3,305,333, 1,386,424 and 1,506,803 for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

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 grant date 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 grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). Results for prior periods have not been restated.

 

 

 

 

 

As a result of adopting SFAS 123(R) on January 1, 2006, the Company’s income before income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $370, lower than if it had continued to account for stock-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.

 

 

 

 

 

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.

Pro-forma compensation expense under SFAS 123, among other computational differences, does not consider potential pre-vesting forfeitures. Because of these differences, the pro-forma stock based compensation expense presented above for the prior year ended December 31, 2005 under SFAS 123 and the stock based compensation expense recognized during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 under SFAS 123(R) are not directly comparable.

 

 

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

 

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.

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.

 

 

 

 

u.

Impact of recently issued accounting pronouncements:

 

 

 

 

 

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157) which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and, accordingly, does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 for financial assets and liabilities, as well as for any other assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value on a recurring basis, and should be applied prospectively. The adoption of the provisions of SFAS 157 related to financial assets and liabilities and other assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value on a recurring basis is not anticipated to materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations. Subsequently, the FASB provided for a one-year deferral of the provisions of SFAS 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a non-recurring basis.

The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the provisions of SFAS 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed on a non-recurring basis.

 

 

 

 

 

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (SFAS 159). Under this Standard, the Company may elect to report financial instruments and certain other items at fair value on a contract-by-contract basis with changes in value reported in earnings. This election is irrevocable. SFAS 159 provides an opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings that is caused by measuring hedged assets and liabilities that were previously required to use a different accounting method than the related hedging contracts when the complex provisions of SFAS 133 hedge accounting are not met. SFAS 159 is effective for years beginning after November 15, 2007. There is no impact of adopting SFAS 159 on its financial position, cash flows, and results of operations of the Company.

 

 

 

 

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (Revised 2007) (SFAS 141R), Business Combinations. SFAS 141R will change the accounting for business combinations. Under SFAS 141R, an acquiring entity will be required to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value with limited exceptions. SFAS 141R will change the accounting treatment and disclosure for certain specific items in a business combination. SFAS 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. SFAS 141R will have an impact on accounting for future business combinations once adopted and not on prior acquisitions. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the provisions of SFAS 141R.

 

 

 

 

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SFAS 160 also establishes reporting requirements that provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and should be applied prospectively. However, the presentation and disclosure requirements of the statement shall be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. The adoption of the provisions of Statement No. 160 is not anticipated to materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the provisions of SFAS 160.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

 

 

 

 

 

In December 2007, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 110 (“SAB No. 110”) to amend the SEC’s views discussed in Staff Accounting Bulletin 107 (“SAB No. 107”) regarding the use of the simplified method in developing an estimate of expected life of share options in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R). SAB No. 110 is effective for the company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008. The Company expects to continue using the simplified method. As a result, the Company does not expect the adoption of SAB No. 110 will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 5:-

INVESTMENT IN OTHER COMPANIES (Cont.)

 

 

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

 

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. 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, which resulted in impairment of $39. As of December 31, 2007 the Company holds 6.94% of Surf’s issued and outstanding shares.

 

 

 

 

 

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

NOTE 12:-

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”). Under the terms of 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 is 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.

 

 

 

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 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 greater than the share price at the commitment date, no beneficial conversion feature exists.

 

 

 

In March 2005, the Investor elected to convert $308 of the 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 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.

LONG-TERM CONVERTIBLE NOTE (Cont.)


 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

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.

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 is remote. The Company’s financial statements include a provision in this respect.

The Company’s financial statements include a provision in this respect.

During 1994, 1995, 1999, 2000, 2001, the Company’s Board adopted stock option plans (the “Plans”) pursuant to which 656,250 options for the purchase of the Company’s Ordinary Shares may be granted to officers, directors, consultants and employees of the Company. The Board has resolved that no further grants shall be made from these Plans.

Loss carryforward:


 

 

 

 

 

Domestic (Israel):

 

 

 

 

 

The Company and its Israeli subsidiary have accumulated losses for Israel income tax purposes as of December 31, 2007, in the amount of approximately $36,132. 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, 2007, the U.S. subsidiaries had U.S. Federal and State net operating loss carryforward of approximately $8,100, which can be carried forward and offset against taxable income. 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.


 

 

 

 

d.

Deferred income taxes:

 

 

 

 

 

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.
