ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

     This prospectus is part of a registration statement that we filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, using a “shelf” registration process. Under this shelf process, the selling shareholders may sell the ordinary shares described in this prospectus in one or more offerings. This prospectus provides you with a general description of the ordinary shares the selling shareholders may offer. Each time the selling shareholders sells ordinary shares, we will provide a prospectus supplement that will contain specific information about the terms of that offering and the manner in which the ordinary shares will be offered, if required. The prospectus supplement may also add, update, or change information contained in this prospectus. You should read both this prospectus and any prospectus supplement or other offering materials together with additional information described under the headings “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation by Reference.”

     You should rely only on the information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and in any supplement to this prospectus or, if applicable, any other offering materials we may provide you. We have not authorized any other person to provide you with different information. If anyone provides you with different or inconsistent information, you should not rely on it. We are not, the selling shareholders are not and any underwriter or agent is not, making an offer to sell these ordinary shares in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted. You should assume that the information appearing in this prospectus, any accompanying prospectus supplement or any other offering materials is accurate only as of the date on their respective covers, and you should assume that the information appearing in any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in this prospectus or any accompanying prospectus supplement is accurate only as of the date that document was filed with the SEC. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates.

     In addition, this prospectus does not contain all the information set forth in the registration statement, including exhibits, that we have filed with the SEC on Form F-3 under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. Statements made in this prospectus as to the contents of any contract, agreement or other document are not necessarily complete. We have filed certain of these documents as exhibits to our registration statement and we refer you to those documents. Each statement in this prospectus relating to a document filed as an exhibit is qualified in all respects by the filed exhibit.

This means that we can disclose important information to you by referring you to another document filed by us with the SEC. Any information referenced this way is considered part of this prospectus, and any information that we file after the date of this prospectus with the SEC will automatically update and supersede this information. We incorporate by reference into this prospectus the following documents:

	•		Our annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2009, filed with the SEC on May 12, 2010;
	•		Our reports on Form 6-K filed with the SEC on May 11, 2010, July 16, 2010, July 19, 2010, July 26, 2010 (except any information related to second quarter guidance), November 4, 2010, November 18, 2010, November 22, 2010 (except any information related to full year guidance), December 21, 2010 and December 30, 2010; and

     In addition, any future filings on Form 20-F made with the SEC under the Exchange Act after the date of this prospectus and prior to the termination of the offering of the ordinary shares made under this prospectus, and any future reports on Form 6-K furnished by us to the SEC during such period or portions thereof that are identified in such forms as being incorporated into the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, shall be considered to be incorporated in this prospectus by reference and shall be considered a part of this prospectus from the date of filing of such documents.

     We will provide, without charge upon written or oral request, a copy of any and all of the information that has been incorporated by reference in this prospectus and that has not been delivered with this prospectus. Requests should be directed to VocalTec Communications Ltd., 5700 Georgia Avenue, West Palm Beach, Florida, 33405; Tel.: (561) 771-2255; Fax (561) 586-2328; Attention Chief Financial Officer.

     Subject to certain time limitations and legal procedures, Israeli courts may enforce a United States judgment in a civil matter which, subject to certain exceptions, is non-appealable, including judgments based upon the civil liability provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and including a monetary or compensatory judgment in a non-civil matter, provided that:

	•		the judgment was rendered by a court which was, according to the laws of the state of the court, competent to render the judgment;
	•		the judgment may no longer be appealed;
	•		the obligation imposed by the judgment is enforceable according to the rules relating to the enforceability of judgments in Israel and the substance of the judgment is not contrary to public policy; and
	•		the judgment is executory in the state in which it was given.

     Even if these conditions are met, an Israeli court will not declare a foreign civil judgment enforceable if:

	•		the judgment was given in a state whose laws do not provide for the enforcement of judgments of Israeli courts (subject to exceptional cases);
	•		the enforcement of the judgment is likely to prejudice the sovereignty or security of the State of Israel;
	•		the judgment was obtained by fraud;
	•		the opportunity given to the defendant to bring its arguments and evidence before the court was not reasonable in the opinion of the Israeli court;
	•		the judgment was rendered by a court not competent to render it according to the laws of private international law as they apply in Israel;
	•		the judgment is contradictory to another judgment that was given in the same matter between the same parties and that is still valid; or
	•		at the time the action was brought in the foreign court, a lawsuit in the same matter and between the same parties was pending before a court or tribunal in Israel.

     If a foreign judgment is enforced by an Israeli court, it generally will be payable in Israeli currency, which can then be converted into non-Israeli currency and transferred out of Israel. The usual practice in an action before an Israeli court to recover an amount in a non-Israeli currency is for the Israeli court to issue a judgment for the equivalent amount in Israeli currency at the rate of exchange in force on the date of the judgment, but the judgment debtor may make payment in foreign currency. Pending collection, the amount of the judgment of an Israeli court stated in Israeli currency ordinarily will be linked to the Israeli consumer price index plus interest at the annual statutory rate set by Israeli regulations prevailing at the time. Judgment creditors must bear the risk of unfavorable exchange rates.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

     This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties.

     Many factors could cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements that may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These factors include, among other things:

	•		changes to our business resulting from increased competition;
	•		any operational or cultural difficulties associated with the integration of the businesses of VocalTec and YMax;
	•		potential adverse reactions or changes to business relationships resulting from the merger with YMax;

We have included important factors in the cautionary statements included in this prospectus and in the “Risk Factors” sections in our most recent annual report on Form 20-F and in our report on Form 6-K filed with the SEC on July 19, 2010 that we believe could cause actual results or events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements that we make. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures or investments we may make.

     Readers are urged to read this entire prospectus, including the information incorporated by reference, and carefully consider the risks, uncertainties and other factors that affect our business.

We do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. Readers should review future reports filed by us with the SEC.

THE COMPANY

The Merger

     On July 16, 2010, VocalTec, VocalTec Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of VocalTec, or Merger Sub, and YMax, entered into an agreement and plan of merger, or the merger agreement. Under the terms of the merger agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into YMax, with YMax continuing as the surviving entity as a wholly-owned subsidiary of VocalTec. Following the merger, VocalTec continued the pre-closing operations of VocalTec and YMax.

     The shareholders of YMax received ordinary shares of VocalTec in consideration for the merger. The merger agreement provided that each share of YMax outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the merger, or the effective time (as such term is defined in the merger agreement), was cancelled and the holder thereof was issued 0.10 ordinary shares of VocalTec, or the merger consideration. VocalTec issued 10,562,895 ordinary shares as merger consideration.

     VocalTec’s ordinary shares outstanding at the effective time remain outstanding and those ordinary shares were unaffected by the merger. VocalTec’s ordinary shares trade on The Nasdaq Global Market under VocalTec’s name with the symbol “CALL.”

The Combined Company

     VocalTec is the inventor of voice-over-IP (“VoIP”) and the softphone (“magicTalk”). We now combine YMax’s first product, the magicJack, which plugs into a computer, with other patent pending and proprietary technologies provided by our subsidiaries, which are designed to provide voice apps on smart phones and a standalone product that has its own CPU that can plug into a regular phone without using a computer. We have the largest telecommunications footprint in the United States based on the number of states in which we operate with a Competitive Local Exchange Carrier license and by area code availability. Our products and services allow users to make and/or receive free telephone calls to and from anywhere in the world where the customer has broadband access to the Internet and allows customers to make free calls back to the United States from anywhere legally permitted in the world.

     We have built an Internet technology, sales and communication platform through which we provide proprietary products and services to customers worldwide. Our innovative product offerings include our first product, the magicJack, a proprietary device enabling voice over broadband telephone services, as well as other patent pending and proprietary technologies designed to further enhance user mobility, connectivity and experience. We have recently introduced our magicTalk software product which is downloaded on a computer allowing users to have telephone calls using a headset or the computer’s microphone eliminating the need for the magicJack and a telephone. The user’s voice mail, call logs and contacts are kept on our servers so they will not be lost and can be downloaded onto any of the user’s computers or applications on their softphones in the future.

     VocalTec, located at 12 Benny Gaon Street, Building 2B, Poleg Industrial Area, Netanya, Israel 42504l (telephone number +972-9-970-3888), was organized under the laws of the State of Israel in 1989 and is subject to the Israeli Companies Law, or the Companies Law. YMax, whose offices are at 5700 Georgia Avenue, West Palm Beach, Florida, 33405 is our U.S. agent for service.

RISK FACTORS

      Set out below are certain risk factors that could materially adversely affect our future business, operating results or financial condition. Investors should carefully consider these risk factors and the other risk factors and information in this prospectus and our filings with the SEC, including our annual report on form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2009 filed with the SEC on May 12, 2010 and our report on form 6-K filed with the SEC on July 19, 2010, each of which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and the other documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus, before making investment decisions involving our ordinary shares. Additional risks not currently known to us or that we now consider immaterial may also impair our business and adversely affect an investment in our ordinary shares.

      Our stock price could be affected because a substantial number of our ordinary shares will be available for sale in the future.

     Sales of a substantial number of our ordinary shares in the public market could occur at any time. As of January 7, 2011, we had 11,469,823 ordinary shares outstanding, all of which have been listed for trading according to the rules of The Nasdaq Global Market. Of the 11,469,823 ordinary shares, approximately 10,562,895 were issued to YMax shareholders in connection with the merger. Regardless of whether we register the resale of such shares issued in connection with the merger, in January 2011, these persons’ shares will become saleable under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, in most cases, not subject to Rule 144’s volume restrictions. We also intend to register all ordinary shares that we may issue or have issued under our stock plans. Sales of substantial amounts of the aforementioned shares in the public marketplace by our shareholders, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of our ordinary shares and may make it more difficult for investors to sell ordinary shares at a time and price which such investors deem appropriate.

      Your rights and responsibilities as a shareholder will be governed by Israeli law and differ in some respects from those of a typical U.S. Corporation.

     Because we are an Israeli company, the rights and responsibilities of our shareholders are governed by our articles of association and by Israeli law. These rights and responsibilities differ in some respects from the rights and responsibilities of shareholders in a typical U.S. corporation. In particular, a shareholder of an Israeli company has a duty to act in good faith and in a customary manner in exercising its rights and performing its obligations towards the company and other shareholders and to refrain from abusing his, her or its power in the company, including, among other things, in voting at the general meeting of shareholders on certain matters. Israeli law provides that these duties are applicable to shareholder votes on, among other things, amendments to a company’s articles of association, increases in a company’s authorized share capital, mergers and interested party transactions that require shareholder approval. A shareholder also has a general duty to refrain from discriminating against other shareholders. In addition, a controlling shareholder or a shareholder who knows that it possesses the power to determine the outcome of a shareholders’ vote or to appoint or prevent the appointment of a director or executive officer in the company or has another power over the company has a duty of fairness towards the company. However, Israeli law does not define the substance of this duty of fairness. Because Israeli corporate law underwent extensive revisions approximately ten years ago, the parameters and implications of the provisions that govern shareholder behavior have not been clearly determined. These provisions may be interpreted to impose additional obligations and liabilities on our shareholders that are not typically imposed on shareholders of U.S. corporations.

CAPITALIZATION

     As of January 7, 2011, we had 11,807,773 ordinary shares issued and 11,469,823 ordinary shares outstanding. On January 11, 2011, the closing price for our ordinary shares as reported on The Nasdaq Global Market was $23.06.

     If we liquidate, after satisfying liabilities to creditors, our assets will be distributed to the holders of ordinary shares in proportion to their holdings.

     Holders of ordinary shares have one vote for each paid-up ordinary share on all matters submitted to a vote of our shareholders. These voting rights may be affected by the grant of any special voting rights to the holders of a class of shares with preferential rights that may be authorized in the future.

     Our Articles of Association provide that directors are elected by a majority of the voting power represented at the general meeting of our shareholders and voting on the election. Our ordinary shares do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. Accordingly, the holders of ordinary shares representing more than 50% of the voting power in our company have the power to elect all directors. However, our directors (other than external directors) are elected for a term that expires either at the annual general meeting of our shareholders held in the first year following their election or at the annual general meeting of our shareholders held in the third year following their election. The term of service for each director (other than external directors) would be determined by the shareholders at the time of the election of such director.

     We may, subject to the applicable provisions of the Companies Law, issue redeemable shares and subsequently redeem them. In addition, our board may make calls upon shareholders in respect of any sum, which has not been paid up in respect of any shares held by those shareholders.

     Under the Companies Law, the disclosure requirements that apply to an office holder also apply to a controlling shareholder of a public company. “Office holder” is defined as a director, general manager, chief business manager, deputy general manager, vice general manager, executive vice president, vice president, other manager directly subordinate to the general manager or any other person assuming the responsibilities of any of the foregoing positions, without regard to such person’s title. A shareholder that holds more than 50% of the voting rights in a public company is deemed to be a controlling shareholder. A shareholder that holds more than 25% of the voting rights in a public company may also be deemed to be a controlling shareholder, for purposes of approval of certain related party transactions, if there is no other shareholder holding more than 25% of the voting rights at such time. Extraordinary transactions with a controlling shareholder or in which a controlling shareholder has a personal interest, and the terms of compensation of a controlling shareholder who is an office holder, require the approval of the audit committee, the board of directors and the shareholders of the company, in such order, provided that either (i) the shareholder approval includes the approval of the holders of at least one third of the shares of shareholders having no personal interest in the transaction who vote at the meeting (abstained votes are disregarded), or (ii) the total number of shares of shareholders having no personal interest in the transaction who vote against the transaction does not exceed one percent of the aggregate voting rights in the company.

     The Companies Law also requires a shareholder to act in good faith towards a company in which he holds shares and towards other shareholders and to refrain from abusing his power in the company, including in connection with the voting at a shareholders’ meeting on:

	•		Any amendment to the Articles of Association;
	•		An increase in the company’s authorized capital;
	•		A merger; or
	•		Approval of certain transactions with control persons and other related parties, which require shareholder approval

     A shareholder has the general duty to refrain from depriving other shareholders of their rights. Any controlling shareholder, any shareholder that knows that it possesses the power to determine the outcome of a shareholder vote and any shareholder that, under the provisions of the Articles of Associations, has the power to appoint an office holder in the company, is under a duty to act in fairness towards the company. The Companies Law does not describe the substance of this duty (except by providing that the remedies generally available upon a breach of

contract will be available also in the event of a breach of the duty to act with fairness) and such substance has not yet been adjudicated by Israeli courts.

Modifications of Share Rights

     Under our Articles of Association, the rights attached to any class may be varied by adoption of the necessary amendment of the Articles of Association, provided that the holders of shares of the affected class approve the change by a class meeting in which the holders of at least 75% of the voting power represented at the meeting and voting on the issue approve the change. Our Articles of Association differ from the Companies Law in this respect as under the law, changes in the rights of shareholders require the consent of more than 50% of the voting power of the affected class represented at the meeting and voting on the change.

Shareholder Meetings and Resolutions

     We are required to hold an annual general meeting of our shareholders once every calendar year, but no later than 15 months after the date of the previous annual general meeting. All meetings other than the annual general meeting of shareholders are referred to as extraordinary general meetings. Extraordinary general meetings may be called by our board whenever it sees fit, at such time and place, within or without the State of Israel, as the board may determine. In addition, the Companies Law provides that the board of a public company is required to convene an extraordinary meeting upon the request of (a) any two directors of the company or one quarter of the company’s board of directors or (b) one or more shareholders holding, in the aggregate, (i) at least five percent of the outstanding shares of the company and at least one percent of the voting power in the company or (ii) at least five percent of the voting power in the company.

     The quorum required for a meeting of shareholders consists of at least two shareholders present in person or by proxy who hold or represent in the aggregate at least 33.3% of our issued share capital. A meeting adjourned for lack of a quorum is adjourned to the same day in the following week at the same time and place or any time and place as the chairman of the meeting determines. At such reconvened meeting, the required quorum consists of any two shareholders present in person or by proxy.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, our Articles of Association provide that a resolution in writing signed by all our shareholders then entitled to attend and vote at general meetings or to which all such shareholders have given their written consent (by letter, telegram, facsimile or otherwise) shall be deemed to have been unanimously adopted by a duly convened general meeting.

     Our Articles of Association enable our board to fix a record date to allow us to determine the shareholders entitled to notice of, or to vote at, any general meeting of our shareholders. The record date may not be more than 40 days and not less than four days before the date of the meeting. Each shareholder of record as of the record date determined by the board may vote the shares then held by that shareholder unless all calls and other sums then payable by the shareholder in respect of its shares have not been paid.

Limitation on Ownership of Securities

     The ownership and voting of our ordinary shares by non-residents of Israel are not restricted in any way by our Articles of Association or by the laws of the State of Israel, except for shareholders who are subjects of countries that are enemies of the State of Israel.

Mergers and Acquisitions; Tender Offers; Anti-Takeover Provision

     The Companies Law includes provisions allowing corporate mergers. These provisions require that the board of directors of each company that is party to the merger approve the transaction. In addition, the shareholders of each company must approve the merger by a vote of the majority of the company’s shares, present and voting on the proposed merger at a shareholders’ meeting, called on at least 35 days’ prior notice. In determining whether the requisite majority has approved the merger, shares held by the other party to the merger or any person

holding at least 25% of such other party, are excluded from the vote. If the merger would have been approved but for the exclusion of the votes of certain shareholders as provided above, a court may still approve the merger upon the request of holders of at least 25% of the voting rights of a company, if the court holds that the merger is fair and reasonable, taking into account the valuation of the parties to the merger and the consideration offered to the shareholders. Upon the request of a creditor of either party to the proposed merger, the court may delay or prevent the merger if it concludes that there exists a reasonable concern that, as a result of the merger, the surviving company will be unable to satisfy the obligations of any of the parties to the merger, and the court may also provide instructions to assure the rights of creditors. In addition, a merger may not be completed unless at least 50 days have elapsed from the date that a notice of the merger was filed with the Israel Registrar of Companies and at least 30 days have elapsed from the date that shareholder approval of both merging companies was obtained. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a merger is not subject to shareholders’ approval if (i) the target company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the acquiring company and (ii) the acquiring company is issuing to the shareholders of the target company up to 20% of its share capital and no person will become, as a result of the merger, a control person, subject to certain limitation relating to the counting of the votes, at a meeting of the shareholders of a company that is a party to the merger, of any entity or person that is either the other party to the merger or a control person thereof.

     The Companies Law also provides that, except in certain circumstances set forth in the Companies Law, the acquisition of shares in a public company must be made by means of a special tender offer if, as a result of the acquisition, the purchaser would become a 25% shareholder of the company. The rule does not apply if there already is another 25% shareholder of the company. Similarly, the law provides that an acquisition of shares in a public company must be made by means of a special tender offer if, as a result of the acquisition, the purchaser would become a 45% shareholder of the company, unless there already is a 45% shareholder of the company. These requirements do not apply if, in general, the acquisition (1) was made in a private placement that received the approval of the company’s shareholders; (2) was from a 25% or greater shareholder of the company which resulted in the acquirer becoming a 25% or greater shareholder of the company, or (3) was from a 45% or greater shareholder of the company which resulted in the acquirer becoming a 45% or greater shareholder of the company. The tender offer must be extended to all shareholders, but the offeror is not required to purchase more than 5% of the company’s outstanding shares, regardless of how many shares are tendered by shareholders (if more shares are tendered than proposed by the purchaser to be purchased, the purchaser will purchase from all tendering shareholders the amount of shares proposed to be purchased, on a pro rata basis). The tender offer may be consummated only if (i) at least 5% of the company’s outstanding shares will be acquired by the offeror, and (ii) the number of shares tendered in the offer exceeds the number of shares, the holders of which objected to the offer.

     In addition, the Companies Law provides that if, following any acquisition of shares of a public company, the purchaser would hold 90% or more of the shares of the company, such acquisition must be made by means of a full tender offer for all of the target company’s shares. An acquirer who wishes to eliminate all minority shareholders must do so by means of a full tender offer and acquire such amount of shares that will cause him to hold more than 95% of the outstanding shares of the target company. If less than 5% of the outstanding shares are not tendered, all of the shares that the acquirer offered to purchase will be transferred to the acquirer by operation of law. The Companies Law provides for appraisal rights if any shareholder files a request in court within three months following the consummation of a full tender offer. If more than 5% of the outstanding shares are not tendered in the full tender offer, the acquirer may not acquire tendered shares if by doing so the acquirer would own more than 90% of the outstanding shares of the target company.

     Our Articles of Association contain provisions that could delay, defer or prevent a change in our control. These provisions include advance notice requirements and the ability of shareholders to elect directors for a three (3) year term. Under the advance notice requirements, shareholders seeking to propose items for inclusion on the agenda for a general meeting of shareholders, must submit those items in writing to our corporate secretary not less than 60 days (or not less than 90 days for the nomination of candidates for election of directors) and not more than 120 days prior to the particular meeting.

     According to recent amendments to our Articles of Association, our directors (other than external directors) are elected for a term that expires either at the annual general meeting of our shareholders held in the first year following their election or at the annual general meeting of our shareholders held in the third year following their election. The term of service for each director (other than external directors) would be determined by the shareholders at the time of the election of such director. As with most other provisions of our Articles of Association, these provisions may not be amended without the approval of the greater of holders of not less than 75% of the voting power represented at a shareholders’ meeting in person or by proxy and voting thereon.

The selling shareholders may also loan or pledge ordinary shares covered by this prospectus and an applicable prospectus supplement to third parties, who may sell the loaned ordinary shares or, in an event of default in the case of a pledge, sell the pledged ordinary shares pursuant to this prospectus and an applicable prospectus supplement.

     A prospectus supplement with respect to an offering of ordinary shares will include any of the following terms of the offering of the ordinary shares if applicable:

	•		the name or names of any underwriters or agents and the amounts of ordinary shares underwritten or purchased by each of them, if any;
	•		the public offering price or purchase price of the ordinary shares and the net proceeds to be received by the selling shareholders from the sale;
	•		any delayed delivery arrangements;
	•		any underwriting discounts or agency fees and other items constituting underwriters’ or agents’ compensation;
	•		any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers; and
	•		any securities exchange or markets on which the ordinary shares may be listed, if applicable.

     The offer and sale of the ordinary shares described in this prospectus by the selling shareholders, the underwriters or the third parties described above may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions, including privately negotiated transactions, either:

	•		at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed;
	•		at market prices prevailing at the time of sale;
	•		at prices related to the prevailing market prices; or
	•		at negotiated prices.

General

     Any public offering price and any discounts, commissions, concessions or other items constituting compensation allowed or reallowed or paid to underwriters, dealers or agents may be changed from time to time. Underwriters, dealers and agents that participate in the distribution of the offered ordinary shares may be “underwriters” as defined in the Securities Act. Any discounts or commissions they receive from the selling shareholders and any profits they receive on the resale of the offered ordinary shares may be treated as underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. We will identify any underwriters, agents or dealers and describe their commissions, fees or discounts in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Underwriters and Agents

     If underwriters are used in a sale, they will acquire the offered ordinary shares for their own account. The underwriters may resell the offered ordinary shares in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions. These sales may be made at a fixed public offering price or prices, which may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of the sale, at prices related to such prevailing market price or at negotiated prices. The selling shareholders may offer the ordinary shares to the public through an underwriting syndicate or through a single underwriter. The underwriters in any particular offering will be mentioned in the applicable prospectus supplement.

     Unless otherwise specified in connection with any particular offering of ordinary shares, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the offered ordinary shares will be subject to certain conditions contained in an underwriting agreement that we and the selling shareholders will enter into with the underwriters at the time of the sale to them. The underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the ordinary shares of the series offered if any of the ordinary shares are purchased, unless otherwise specified in connection with any particular offering of ordinary shares. Any initial offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed, reallowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time.

     The selling shareholders may designate agents to sell the offered ordinary shares. Unless otherwise specified in connection with any particular offering of ordinary shares, the agents will agree to use their best efforts to solicit purchases for the period of their appointment.

     In connection with offerings made through underwriters or agents, the selling shareholders may enter into agreements with such underwriters or agents pursuant to which the selling shareholders receive their outstanding ordinary shares in consideration for the ordinary shares being offered to the public for cash. In connection with these arrangements, the underwriters or agents may also sell ordinary shares covered by this prospectus to hedge their positions in these outstanding ordinary shares, including in short sale transactions. If so, the underwriters or agents may use the ordinary shares received from the applicable selling shareholder under these arrangements to close out any related open borrowings of ordinary shares.

Dealers

     The selling shareholders may sell the offered ordinary shares to dealers as principals. The selling shareholders may negotiate and pay dealers’ commissions, discounts or concessions for their services. The dealer may then resell such ordinary shares to the public either at varying prices to be determined by the dealer or at a fixed offering price agreed to with the applicable selling shareholder at the time of resale. Dealers engaged by the selling shareholders may allow other dealers to participate in resales.

Direct Sales

     The selling shareholders may choose to sell the offered ordinary shares directly. In this case, no underwriters or agents would be involved.

Indemnification; Other Relationships

     We or the selling shareholders may have agreements with agents, underwriters and dealers to indemnify them against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Agents, underwriters and dealers, and their affiliates, may engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us in the ordinary course of business. This includes commercial banking and investment banking transactions.

     We have agreed to indemnify certain selling shareholders against liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and state securities laws, relating to the registration of the ordinary shares offered by this prospectus.

Stabilization and Other Transactions

     In connection with any offering of ordinary shares, the underwriters may purchase and sell shares of ordinary shares in the open market. These transactions may include short sales, syndicate covering transactions and stabilizing transactions. Short sales involve syndicate sales of ordinary shares in excess of the number of shares to be purchased by the underwriters in the offering, which creates a syndicate short position. “Covered” short sales are sales of shares made in an amount up to the number of shares represented by the underwriters’ over-allotment option. In determining the source of shares to close out the covered syndicate short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase shares through the over-allotment option. Transactions to

close out the covered syndicate short involve either purchases of the ordinary shares in the open market after the distribution has been completed or the exercise of the over-allotment option. The underwriters may also make “naked” short sales of shares in excess of the over-allotment option. The underwriters must close out any naked short position by purchasing shares of ordinary shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the shares in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of bids for or purchases of shares in the open market while the offering is in progress for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the ordinary shares.

     In connection with any offering, the underwriters may also engage in penalty bids. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the ordinary shares originally sold by the syndicate member are purchased in a syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions. Stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may cause the price of the ordinary shares to be higher than it would be in the absence of the transactions. The underwriters may, if they commence these transactions, discontinue them at any time.

Fees and Commissions

     In compliance with the guidelines of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, the aggregate maximum discount, commission or agency fees or other items constituting underwriting compensation to be received by any FINRA member or independent broker-dealer will not exceed 8% of any offering pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement; however, it is anticipated that the maximum commission or discount to be received in any particular offering of ordinary shares will be significantly less than this amount.

     The consolidated financial statements of YMax and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009 incorporated by reference in this prospectus and in the related registration statement, have been so incorporated in reliance on the report of BDO USA, LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, incorporated herein by reference, given on the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting.

CHANGE IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT

     Following our merger with YMax, we decided to consolidate our accounting services in a single accounting firm. To that end, on November 1, 2010, our Board of Directors elected to continue the existing relationship of our subsidiary YMax Corporation with BDO USA, LLP and recommended to shareholders the appointment of BDO USA, LLP as the Company’s new auditors for the year ending December 31, 2010. The requisite majority of shareholders approved the appointment on December 17, 2010. On December 28, 2010 the Company entered into an agreement with BDO USA, LLP acknowledging same.

     During our two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2009 and through the date of our dismissal of KFG&K (December 28, 2010), there were no disagreements with KFG&K on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of KFG&K would have caused KFG&K to make reference to the disagreements in connection with its reports on our financial statements for such years.

     The reports of KFG&K on our financial statements for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2009 did contain a statement indicating substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern because of our ongoing losses from operations. The audit reports of KFG&K on our financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2009 contain no other adverse opinion, disclaimer of opinion or modification as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

     We have provided KFG&K the foregoing disclosures and have requested that it furnish us with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with such disclosures. We have received the requested letter from KFG&K wherein it has confirmed its agreement with our disclosures. A copy of the letter from KFG&K has been included as an exhibit to this registration statement.

Item 10. Undertakings

     (a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

     (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

     (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

     (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post- effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high and of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;

     (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

provided , however , that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

     (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

     (4) To file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement to include any financial statements required by Item 8.A. of Form 20-F at the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering. Financial statements and information otherwise required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act need not be furnished, provided, that the registrant includes in the prospectus, by means of a post-effective amendment, financial statements required pursuant to this paragraph (a)(4) and other information necessary to ensure that all other information in the prospectus is at least as current as the date of those financial statements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to registration statements on Form F-3, a post-effective amendment need not be filed to include financial statements and information required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act or Rule 3-19 of this chapter if such financial statements and information are contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Form F-3.

     (5) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser

     (i) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3)shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

     (ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

     (6) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

     (i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

     (ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

     (iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

     (iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

     (b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions referred to in Item 8 hereof, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless, in the opinion of its counsel, the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

     (d) The undersigned Registrant hereby also undertakes that:

     (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this Registration Statement at the time it was declared effective.

     (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
