PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
Our Business
Our
company is a leading provider of services to insurance companies and car owners. We offer
stolen vehicle recovery, or SVR, road-side assistance, towing, and car replacement
services in case of stolen or damaged cars. We also supply fleet management and mobile
resource management solutions.
Background
Until
2003, our business focused primarily on the development, manufacture and sale of location
based services and stolen vehicle retrieval services. In April 2003, our management
decided to strategically focus on providing a range of services to automobile owners and
insurance companies.
Our
new strategy was implemented through two acquisitions in Israel and the establishment of a
subsidiary in Mexico.
In
June 2004 we purchased all of the outstanding and issued share capital of Shagrir Systems
Ltd., or Shagrir, not already held by us. Shagrir was our local Israeli operator and
service provider, which mainly provided stolen vehicle retrieval and other security
value-added services mainly for vehicle owners through a communication network based on
our technology.
In
June 2004, we also incorporated a Mexican company, Pointer Recuperacion de Mexico, SA de
CV, or Pointer SA, to serve as our local Mexican operator and service provider, which
would provide stolen vehicle retrieval using a communication network based on our
technology.
In
February 2005, our subsidiary, Shagrir, purchased the assets and activities of Shagrir
Towing Services, an Israeli company which provided road-side assistance and towing
services, in Israel.
As
a result of the implementation of our strategy, we currently provide a range of services
to automobile owners and insurance companies.
As
a result of the two acquisitions we made in Israel, Shagrir, is currently the most
significant operation we have, and is expected to account for the majority of our business
and revenues in the foreseeable future. In Israel we currently provide the full range of
our services.

Recent Developments
Since
January 1, 2007, the following important events have occurred to us:
Private Placements with
U.S. Institutional Investors
On
April 2, 2007, we entered into and consummated a share purchase agreement, or the April
Investment, with a group of United States institutional investors for the purchase of
805,000 of our ordinary shares for an aggregate price of $8.5M. Pursuant to the
transaction, the investors were also issued warrants to purchase 402,500 of our ordinary
shares, such that for each one share purchased the investors were entitled to a warrant to
purchase half a share. The warrants are exercisable into ordinary shares, at an exercise
price per share of $12.6 and will be exercisable for a period of five years. Following the
transaction two of the investors, individually, hold more than 5% of our issued and
outstanding share capital.
Acquisition of
Cellocator Ltd and Matan Y. Communication and Tracking Systems Ltd.
On
September 18, 2007, we consummated an agreement with Cellocator Ltd., or Cellocator, a
private Israeli company active in the field of cellular location-based services and
technology, its affiliate, Matan Y. Communication and Tracking Systems Ltd., or Matan, a
private Israeli company, and its founder, Mr. Amnon Duchovna Naveh, (who together with
Cellocator and Matan shall be referred to in this registration statement as, the Sellers),
for the purchase of substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets of
Cellocator and Matan (excluding cash and cash equivalents and owned vehicles) and
assumed certain liabilities. The consideration for the purchase of the assets was
comprised as follows: (i) an aggregate of 160,000 of our ordinary shares was issued to the
Sellers; (ii) a 36-month convertible debenture in the amount of $1,921,668 was issued to
Cellocator, which may be converted into 160,000 of our ordinary shares; (iii) NIS
55,657,984 was paid to Cellocator plus a further NIS 1,500,000 representing profits
embodied in its inventory; (iv) NIS 4,200,000 was paid to Matan plus NIS 500,000
representing profits embodied in its inventory; and (v) the difference between the
tangible assets of Cellocator and Matan and their undertakings as reflected in their
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006, which amount may be adjusted
within 30 days of the closing of the transaction on the basis of updated financial
statements which will be prepared and dated as of the date of the closing of the
transaction. Should the debenture be converted, the Sellers will hold approximately 5.71%
of our issued and outstanding share capital (on a fully diluted basis) in the aggregate.
6
MOU with a leading
provider of Road Side Assistance in Argentina
In
March 2007, we also executed a binding Memorandum of Understanding, or MOU, with a leading
provider of roadside assistance in Argentina, or the Argentinian Provider, to cooperate in
offering location based services and stolen vehicle retrieval services. The closing of the
transaction is subject to the success of the Argentinian Provider in reaching an agreement
with a leading automotive manufacturer in Argentina. Based on the MOU, upon closing, the
Argentinian Provider shall transfer to Pointer Argentina all of its location based
services and SVR business in consideration for 11% of the outstanding share capital of
Pointer Argentina. Thereafter, contingent upon the success of the project during the two
years following the closing, the Argentinian Provider will increase its holdings in
Pointer Argentina, and we will provide Pointer Argentina with certain of our products,
free of charge, during these two years.
Potential
acquisition of the Argentinian Road Side Assistance Provider
In
March 2007, we executed a non-binding Letter of Intent to acquire controlling ownership of
the Argentinian Provider, in consideration for $9 million.
Grant of Options to
Employees
On
January 28, 2007, our board of directors resolved to issue to our employees options to
purchase 63,000 of our ordinary shares, pursuant to our 2003 Employee Share Option Plan,
which will vest in four equal annual installments over a period of four years, commencing
as of the date of the grant, at an exercise price of $11.24 per share.
On
March 5, 2007 our board of directors resolved to modify the terms of the options granted
to our former CFO on November 23, 2005, by accelerating the vesting of all of the options
and extending the exercise period until June 30, 2008.
On
February 15, 2007, our board of directors resolved to extend the Warrants granted to Bank
Hapoalim, Shagrir Towing Services and ADACH Property Ltd., formerly Shagrir (1985) Ltd.,
until June 30, 2007.
7
Private Placements with
Israeli Institutional Investors
On
December 28, 2006 we entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with a group of Israeli institutional investors
for the purchase of 425,000 of our ordinary shares for an aggregate price of $4.7M, out of which, an
amount of $2.586 million was received by December 31, 2006. The transaction was consummated on January
12, 2007. Pursuant to the transaction, the investors were also issued warrants to purchase 212,500 of
our ordinary shares, such that for each one share purchased the investors were entitled to a warrant to
purchase half an ordinary share. The warrants are exercisable into ordinary shares, at an exercise price
per share of $13 and will be exercisable for a period of four years. None of the investors were, or
following the transaction have since become, our affiliates.
Potential Claim
In
February 2002, we executed (i) an agreement with Sino Telocation Ltd., or Sino, pursuant
to which we were to provide Sino with a car localization system, or the System, in
consideration for $900,000; and (ii) an agreement with Sino and the China National
Electronics Import Export Beijing Company, or CEIEC, for the funding of the acquisition of
the System. Pursuant to the agreements we received a down payment of $300,000 from CEIEC
against a bank guarantee in favor of CEIEC from Bank Hapoalim B.M. We requested that CEIEC
issue a letter of credit to insure the shipment of the System. CEIEC did not issue the
letter of credit and as a result the System was not provided. As the System was unique and
adapted for the Chinese market, we were not able to sell the System to others. CEIEC and
Sinos breach of the agreements caused us extensive damages, in particular due to the
failure to pay the remainder of consideration, in the amount of $600,000.
On
November 26, 2002, we filed a claim with the Tel-Aviv Magistrates Court for a
permanent injunction against Bank Hapoalim B.M. and CEIEC requesting that the court
prohibit Bank Hapoalim from paying CEIEC any amount, pursuant to the guarantee. The Court
ruled in our favor. CEIEC commenced proceedings in China, against Bank Hapoalim, to which
we are not a party, for the payment of the guarantee. In August 2004, Bank Hapoalim
informed us that it may pay to CEIEC the guaranteed amount plus interest at a rate of 0.5%
per week, commencing March 2002 and, in such an event, will request that we indemnify it
for the amount paid.
In
March 2005, we filed a claim against CEIEC and against Sino, with the China International
Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission Beijing, China, or CIETAC, for approximately
$557,000 representing the damages caused to us by the breach of the contract by CEIEC and
Sino in respect of the China transaction.
As
a result of the filing of the claim with CIETAC, the proceedings which had been initiated
by CEIEC against Bank Hapoalim, in China, for payment of the guarantee, were suspended.
In
January 2006, CIETAC provided a ruling in our favor, pursuant to which CEIEC and Sino are
to pay us $557,000 representing most of the damages caused to us plus interest rate of 6%
per annum from April 2003 and additional costs incurred by us.
8
In
February and in June 2006, Sino and CEIEC, respectively, petitioned the Beijing No. 2
Intermediate Peoples Court to overturn the ruling of CIETAC.
In
December, 2006 the Beijing No. 2 Intermediate Peoples Court ruled that CIETAC should
issue a new ruling and grant a new arbitration award accordingly. No grounds were given.
As a result of the Courts decision CIETAC issued a Notice of Re-arbitration.
In
March, 2007 CEIEC petitioned the CIETAC for the replacement of the arbitration panel, on
the grounds that the previous decisions was biased and against the interests of the state.
An objection to the petition was filed. The petition and objection have yet to be
addressed.
As
of September 18, 2007, no dates have been set and no further information has been received
from CIETAC.

General Risks Factors
Relating to Our Company
This
annual report and statements that we may make from time to time may contain
forward-looking information. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ
materially from our expectations, statements or projections. Factors that could cause
actual results to differ from our expectations, statements or projections include the
risks and uncertainties relating to our business described below.
10
We
have a history of net losses.
With
the exception of the years 2006 and 2003, we have incurred a net loss in each year of our
existence. Our net profits in 2006 were $1.2 million and were principally from continuing
operations of $0.3 million and other income of $1.3 million off-set by impairment of long
lived assets of $0.4 million. Our net profits in 2003 of $5.3 million resulted from a
one-time non-cash capital gain of $8.5 million from the disposal of discontinued
operations and were offset by a $3.3 million loss from continuing operations. Prior to
2004, our majority owned subsidiary Shagrir had never recorded net profits but has
recorded shareholders equity surplus for the first time in 2006. Although our
company as well as Shagrir are currently profitable we may continue to sustain net losses
for the foreseeable future, for several reasons, including resulting from increases in
working capital deficiency (see Recent Developments) and costs associated with
other business initiatives in Israel and abroad. As a part of our strategy, we are
focusing on the development of new businesses and services, both in the territories in
which we currently operate as well as in new territories. Investing in such new businesses
may result in an increase in short term losses. If we continue to sustain prolonged net
losses or losses from continuing operations, we may have to cease our operations.
The
majority of our business operations are based in Israel
Due
to our purchase of Shagrir in 2004 and the acquisition by Shagrir of the business
activities of Shagrir Towing Services in February 2005, the majority of our operations are
located in Israel, and Shagrir accounts for the majority of our revenues. Consequently,
certain events in Israel which may or may not be directly connected with our business may
have a disproportionate effect on our operations. For instance, major public
transportation projects, changes in vehicle related taxes, a proposed increase in the
imputed value of vehicles provided as a part of employee compensation and other
macroeconomic changes in Israel may reduce the number of vehicle owners. Although to date
we have not seen a drop in private vehicle users as a result of such factors, current
projects including high-speed rail systems could lead to such a drop in the future,
thereby reducing the volume of our operations in Israel. We also rely on the renewal and
retention of several operating licenses issued by certain Israeli regulatory authorities.
Should such authorities fail to renew any of these licenses, suspend existing licenses, or
require additional licenses, we may be forced to suspend or cease certain services that we
provide. Additionally, a sustained downturn in the Israeli economy could have a
significant impact on our business.
11
Our
future operations depend on our ability to obtain additional financing.
We have historically financed our
operations through public and private placements of equity and debt securities, cash
generated from the sales of our systems, grants for research and development projects and
bank credit lines. We cannot assure you that if we are required to raise additional
financing in the future that we will be able to obtain such financing on satisfactory
terms, if at all, and if we are able to raise financing through the issuance of shares,
this may result in the dilution of the interests of our current shareholders. In a series
of investments, since March 2003 to date, we raised $35 million, and in February 2005 our
subsidiary Shagrir received approximately NIS 200 million in loans and convertible debt as
part of Shagrirs acquisition of the road-side assistance and towing services of
Shagrir Towing Services. In June 2004, as part of the purchase of all of the securities of
Shagrir not already held by our Company at such time, we issued further shares and
warrants to purchase our shares. We believe that our current assets, together with
anticipated cash generated from operations and outstanding bank credit lines, will
sufficiently allow us to continue our operations as a going concern for the foreseeable
future. We have registered for resale securities issued and issuable in connection with
these transactions. In this registration statement we are registering, pursuant to the
April Investment, 1,207,500 of our ordinary shares (including 402,500 ordinary shares
issuable upon the exercise of warrants issued in connection with that transaction). As a
result of the registration statements that we currently have outstanding and are currently
filing, many or all of our investors who recently purchased our securities may elect to
sell some or all of our securities. Should such sales be significant in volume or take
place over a short period of time, our share price may decline significantly, and we may
find it difficult to raise additional funding through the issuance of equity or
convertible debt securities. If our future capital requirements are greater than the cash
we obtain from our business and available financing, if any, we may, among other things,
be required to significantly reduce our research, development, product commercialization,
marketing or other activities or even cease operations.
Shagrir
has significant loans which it is required to repay in accordance with a strict schedule
In
order to finance Shagrirs acquisition of the road-side assistance and towing
services of Shagrir Towing Services, it received a NIS 100 million credit facility from
Bank Hapoalim, a NIS 40 million loan from Shagrir Towing Services and approximately NIS 50
million was loaned to it from a group of investors led by Gandyr Investments Ltd. and
Egged Holdings Ltd., of which NIS 87 million as of March 31, 2007 remained payable.
Nevertheless, Shagrir still has substantial outstanding loans and, despite the fact that
we are cash positive, should Shagrir fail to repay the loans in accordance with the
repayment schedule pertaining to each loan and should a lender refuse to amend the
relevant repayment schedule, such lender may realize certain liens that were created in
its favor by Shagrir. This could result in Shagrir having to divest itself of parts of its
business and may result in the cessation of its operations. This may have a material
adverse affect on our financial condition.
We
may not be able to successfully compete in the extremely competitive markets for our
products and services.
We
face intense competition in the markets in which we operate.
12
In
Israel, our primary competitors are Drachim Road Side & Towing Services Ltd., Femi
Premium Ltd. and Shlomo-SIXT Road Side Services & Garages Ltd., all of which mainly
compete with us in providing road-side assistance and towing services although we
currently are the leading road-side assistance and towing service provider in Israel.
Ituran Location & Control Ltd. is our main direct competitor in the stolen vehicle
retrieval services market in Israel and Argentina. LoJack Car Security S.A. and
LoJack de Mexico, S. de RL de CV are our main competitors in Argentina and Mexico,
respectively.
In
other countries in which we intend to provide road-side assistance, towing and other
services, our main competition is from local companies as well as large international
corporations with local operations. Our primary competitors in the other geographical
markets in which we currently provide our location based services are mainly LoJack
globally, Ituran in Argentina and other local service providers in each country. Such
competitors use different technologies, such as radio technologies, cellular and other
technologies.
Should
any of our competitors in Israel or globally successfully provide a broader, more
efficient or attractive combination of services to insurance companies and automobile
owners, our business results could be materially adversely affected.
Many
of our competitors have substantially greater capital resources and significant research
and development staffs, facilities, marketing and distribution networks, name recognition
and extensive customer bases. While we plan to continue to improve our services and
maintain our marketing efforts, we cannot guarantee that we will grow or even maintain our
customer base or we may need to invest more in our efforts to do so.
We
depend on a small number of customers.
We
depend on a small number of customers located mainly in Israel and South America, for a
significant part of our revenues, and our future depends on our ability to maintain our
existing customers and attract new customers. As a result of our acquisition of the
activities of Shagrir Towing Services, the customers which account for a major part of our
revenues in future years are Israeli insurance companies, which offer our road-side
assistance and towing services as part of their vehicle insurance policy packages which
they sell to their customers. While in 2006 only one customer comprised over 10% of our
revenues, since our business model relies on a relatively low number of customers the loss
of even a small number of customers could materially affect our financial condition.
If
the creditworthiness or the financial strength of the customers were to decline, there
could be an adverse effect on our operating results and cash flows. Should geopolitical
situations change in the countries where our customers operate, there could be additional
credit risks.
13
In cases where our customer is the
operator (not owned by us), we use several methods in order to assure collectibility. In
most cases, we demand financial guarantees such as a Letter of Credit or payments before
delivery. To a lesser extent we assess collectibility, by assessing the credit history for
each customer on a case-by-case basis and investigating the financial capabilities of our
customers by receiving on-going information on their business status. However, we cannot
be certain that our estimations will prove correct as to any one of our customers.
We
rely on operators to provide services for our Location Based Solution systems.
In
certain countries we rely on third party operators and police forces to provide our stolen
vehicle retrieval services. This requires us to maintain good relationships with these
third party operators to ensure that they continue to work with us and provide a good
service to our customers. Since we do not own these operators, we have little or no
control over their effectiveness or methods of operation. The implementation of the
operators business plans depends mainly on factors unrelated to our interests such
as their marketing strategies, their financial stability and the specific requirements and
circumstances in their territories. Our consecutive end unit sales, future system
upgrades, future infrastructure extensions and revenues from other sources, where
applicable, from such territories is dependent on their penetration rate and successful
sale growth as well as on the operators continuous success and their continuous
decision to offer these services and products in their respective territories. Should we
fail to maintain relationships with these third party operators, or these operators fail
to successfully market and service our products, our business would be adversely affected.
We
use fixed price contracts with our customers
Our
road-side services in Israel are sold through annual fixed price contracts, according to
which we are paid a fixed price by insurance companies for each of their customers who
subscribe to receive our services. Should operational expenses rise due to factors such as
a rise in the price of gasoline or any other materials necessary for our operations, our
profit margins could suffer as a result. Since it is often difficult to predict future
price rises in the cost of raw materials, our fixed price contracts may not adequately
cover our future outlays. Additionally, the frequency by which vehicle users may take
advantage of our road-side services can vary unpredictably. Sustained adverse weather
conditions, increased regional hostilities or acts of terrorism, and poor road maintenance
may increase customer usage of our services in any given year, thus reducing profit
margins.
The
majority of our SVR services in Israel are linked to the US Dollar while operational
expenses, like salary, are linked to NIS. Our profit margins could suffer as a result of
revaluation of the NIS against the US Dollar. Since it is often difficult to predict
future exchange rates our fixed price contracts may not adequately cover our future
outlays and reduce profit margins.
14
We
rely on a single-source supplier to manufacture end units for our Location Based Solution
systems
While
we have commenced diversifying our product base through our combination of cellular units
together with GPS devices in our location based services, we are still principally reliant
on our traditional Pointerware suite of products, formerly known as Nexusphere, which we
do not manufacture ourselves. Most of the components of our LBS end unit devices are
manufactured for us by independent manufacturers abroad and are assembled by a turn-key
subcontractor located in Israel, and there is no certainty that this subcontractor will be
able to continue to provide us with manufacturing and assembly services in the future.
Furthermore, while cellular, GPS and car alarm devices are manufactured by several
sub-contractors located in Israel, we currently only use the services of one such company.
Our reliance on independent contractors, especially those located in foreign countries,
involves a number of risks, including:
|
|
reduced
control over delivery schedules, quality assurance, manufacturing yields and cost;
|
|
|
reduced
manufacturing flexibility due to last moment quantity changes;
|
|
|
political
and economic disruptions;
|
|
|
the
imposition of tariffs and export controls on such products;
|
|
|
the
loss of molds and tooling in the event of a dispute with a manufacturer; and
|
|
|
changes
in government policies.
|
Our
agreements and understandings with our suppliers are generally short-term in nature and
may be terminated with little or no notice. If a supplier of ours were to terminate its
relationship with us, we may be compelled to seek additional sources to manufacture
certain of the components of our systems or even to change the design of our products.
Although we believe that most of the components of our systems may be readily acquired
from numerous suppliers, we cannot assure you that we would be successful in entering into
arrangements with other suitable independent manufacturers without significantly impairing
our sales in the interim period.
We
are subject to several risks as a result of our international sales
Systems
based on our products and systems are currently installed in Israel, Argentina, Venezuela,
Mexico, Russia, Chile and China. We are subject to the risks inherent in international
business activities, including changes in the political and economic environment,
unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, foreign exchange controls, tariffs and
other trade barriers and burdens of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws and
regulations. In addition, if for any reason exchange, price controls or other restrictions
on conversion of foreign currencies were to be imposed, the above business could be
negatively impacted. Moreover, certain of these international operations have experienced
the following difficulties:
15
|
|
A
severe and rapid currency devaluation in Argentina adversely affected Pointer
Localizacion Y Asistencia S.A., or Pointer Argentina, US dollar results during 2002. This
was mainly due to Pointer Argentinas inability to increase its Argentinian
Peso-denominated prices to its customers, while its major costs of inventory and
infrastructure are denominated in US dollars.

Venezuela
has in recent years imposed foreign exchange controls which have effectively led to the
cessation of purchase orders of our SVR products and services from our main customer in
Venezuela during 2003. Additionally there is currently discussion by the Venezuelan
government regarding the institution of a nationalization program, which could further
adversely affect our operations there.
|
The
technology and standards in the stolen vehicle retrieval industry in which we operate
change rapidly and the introduction of products using new technology and the emergence of
new industry standards and practices could negatively impact our business.
The
wireless communications industry is characterized by rapid technological changes. The
introduction of products using new technology and the emergence of new industry standards
and practices could make our products less competitive and cause us to reduce the prices
of our products. There are several wireless communications technologies, including
cellular telephone, personal communications services, specialized mobile radio and mobile
satellite services which have been or may be implemented in the future for applications
competitive with the applications we provide. Future implementation and technological
improvements could lead to the production of systems which are competitive with, or
superior to ours.
Although
during 2006 we introduced the Cellular / GPS Monitoring Unit as one of our products we
cannot give any assurance that we will timely or successfully introduce or develop new or
enhanced products, which will effectively compete with new products. Our business will be
negatively impacted if we do not introduce or develop technologically competitive products
that respond to customer needs and are priced competitively.
Our
Location Based Solution products employ proprietary technology, which is difficult to
protect and which may infringe on the intellectual property rights of third parties.
Our
success and our ability to compete in the LBS sector depend on our proprietary technology.
We rely on a combination of patent and trade secret laws, together with non-disclosure
agreements and licensing arrangements to establish and protect proprietary rights in our
products. We were granted certain patents in the United States and elsewhere; however, we
have not invested significant resources to constantly update and maintain our proprietary
technology. We cannot assure you that these efforts will successfully protect our
technology because:
16
|
|
the
laws of some foreign countries may not protect our proprietary rights as fully as do the
laws of the United States;
|
|
|
if
a competitor were to infringe on our proprietary rights, enforcing our rights may be time
consuming and costly, diverting management's attention and our resources;
|
|
|
measures
like entering into non-disclosure agreements afford only limited protection;
|
|
|
unauthorized
parties may attempt to copy aspects of our products and develop similar products
or to obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary; and
|
|
|
our
competitors may independently develop or patent technologies that are substantially
equivalent or superior to our technology, duplicate our technologies or design around our
intellectual property rights.
|
In
addition, others may assert infringement claims against us. The cost of responding to
infringement claims could be significant, regardless of whether the claims are valid.
The
use of our proprietary Location Based Solution systems is subject to international
regulations.
While
the use of our Cellular Monitoring Units, or CMUs, and services does not require
regulatory approvals, the use of our traditional LBS systems is subject to regulatory
approvals of government agencies in each of the countries in which our systems are
operated, including the State of Israel. We thus obtained in 2001 a regulatory acceptance
from the FCC for our vehicular end-unit device (RMU) and for our SVR receiving base
station, to the extent required for sale in the U.S. Our operators typically must obtain
authorization from each country in which these systems are installed. While, in general,
applicants have not experienced problems in obtaining regulatory approvals to date, the
regulatory schemes in each country are different and may change from time to time. We
cannot guarantee that approvals, which our operators have obtained, are or will remain
sufficient in the view of regulatory authorities. In addition, we cannot assure you that
operators of our systems will obtain licenses and approvals on a timely basis in all
jurisdictions in which we wish to sell our systems or that restrictions on the use of our
systems will not be unduly burdensome.
We
may not be able to retain or attract key managerial, technical and research and
development personnel that we need to succeed.
Our
success has largely depended and will depend in the future on our skilled professional and
technical employees, substantially all of whom have written employment agreements. The
competition for these employees is intense. We may not be able to retain our present
employees, or recruit additional qualified employees, as we require them.
17
Our
major shareholders may be considered to have a controlling stake in our company.
Pursuant
to a series of investments in our company since March 2003, and the exercise of
certain warrants, DBSI Investments Ltd., or DBSI, currently owns approximately 21%, of our issued and
outstanding shares or 17% on a fully-diluted basis. Additionally, Ramius Capital Group LLC, or Ramius
(the investment advisor of Portside Growth and Opportunity Fund, one of our selling shareholders),
currently owns approximately 14% of our issued and outstanding shares or 13%, on a fully-diluted basis
(based on information contained in a Form 13F and filed by Ramius on June 30, 2007). As a result, each
of DBSI and Ramius may be considered to have the ability to control material decisions requiring the
approval of our shareholders.
Risk Factors Relating to
our Ordinary Shares
We
do not expect to distribute cash dividends.
We
do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Our Board of Directors
will decide whether to declare any cash dividends in the future based on the conditions
then existing, including our earnings and financial condition. According to the Israeli
Companies Law, a company may distribute dividends out of its profits, so long as the
company reasonably believes that such dividend distribution will not prevent the company
from paying all its current and future debts. Profits, for purposes of the Companies Law,
means the greater of retained earnings or earnings accumulated during the preceding two
years.
The
market price of our ordinary shares has been, and may continue to be, very volatile.
The
market prices of our ordinary shares have fluctuated widely. The following factors, among
others, may significantly impact the market price of our ordinary shares:
|
|
macro
changes and changes in market share in the markets in which we provide services and
products;
|
|
|
announcements
of technological innovations or new products by us or our competitors;
|
|
|
developments
or disputes concerning patents or proprietary rights;
|
|
|
publicity
regarding actual or potential results relating to services rendered by us or our
competitors;
|
|
|
regulatory
development in the United States, Israel and other countries;
|
|
|
events
or announcements relating to our collaborative relationship with others;
|
|
|
economic,
political and other external factors;
|
|
|
period-to-period
fluctuations in our operating results; and
|
|
|
substantial
sales by significant shareholders of our ordinary shares which are currently or
are in the process of being registered.
|
18
In
addition, the securities markets in general have experienced volatility, which has
particularly affected the market prices of equity securities of many companies and
companies that have a significant presence in Israel. This volatility has often been
unrelated to the operating performance of such companies.
Our
ordinary shares may be affected by limited trading volume and may fluctuate significantly
in price.
Our
ordinary shares are traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market and the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange,
or TASE. Trading in our ordinary shares has been limited and there can be no assurance that an active
trading market for our ordinary shares will develop. As a result, this could adversely affect our
shareholders' ability to sell our ordinary shares in short time periods, or possibly at all. Thinly
traded ordinary shares can be more volatile than ordinary shares traded in an active public market. The
average daily trading volume of our ordinary shares from January 1, 2007 to September 18, 2007, on the
Nasdaq Capital Market was 66,520 shares and on the TASE was 4,439 shares. The high and low bid price of
our ordinary shares from January 1, 2007 to September 18, 2007, has been $14.55 and $7.49, respectively
on the Nasdaq Capital Market and between NIS 58 and NIS 31 during the same period on the TASE. Our
ordinary shares have experienced, and are likely to experience in the future, significant price and
volume fluctuations, which could adversely affect the market price of our ordinary shares without regard
to our operating performance.
Corporate
governance scandals and new legislation could increase the cost of our operations.
As
a result of recent corporate governance scandals and the legislative and litigation
environment resulting from those scandals, the costs of being a public company in general
have increased and may continue to increase in the near future. Legislation, such as the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, has had and may continue to have the effect of increasing the
burdens and potential liabilities of being a public reporting company. This and other
proposed legislation may increase the fees of our professional advisors and our insurance
premiums.
19
Risk Factors Relating to
Our Operations in Israel
Political
and Military Conditions in Israel affect our operations.
We
are incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel. Our headquarters, the headquarters
of Shagrir, our operations and the operations of Shagrir, are located in Israel. We are
directly affected by the political, economic and military conditions affecting Israel. Any
major hostilities involving Israel or the interruption or curtailment of trade between
Israel and its present trading partners could materially adversely affect our business,
financial condition and results of operations. Israels economy has been subject to
numerous destabilizing factors, including a period of rampant inflation in the early to
mid-1980s, low foreign exchange reserves, fluctuations in world commodity prices,
military conflicts and civil unrest. Since the establishment of the State of Israel in
1948, hostility has existed, varying in degree and intensity, between Israel and the Arab
countries. In addition, Israel and companies doing business with Israel have been subject
to an economic boycott by the Arab countries. Although Israel has entered into agreements
with some Arab countries and the Palestinian Authority, and various declarations have been
signed in connection with efforts to resolve some of the economic and political problems
in the Middle East, there has been a significant increase in violence since September 2000
which continued with varying levels of severity through 2004. Since the death of Yasser
Arafat in 2004, low-level negotiations between Israel and Palestinian representatives have
been renewed. Nevertheless, the political and security situation in Israel may result in
certain parties with whom we have contracts claiming that they are not obligated to
perform their commitments under those agreements pursuant to force majeure provisions. In
addition, the election of representatives of the Hamas militant group in January 2006 to a
majority of seats in the Palestinian Legislative Council as well as the war with the
Islamic militant group Hezbollah in Lebanon in July and August 2006 may create additional
unrest and uncertainty in the region. Any hostilities involving Israel or the interruption
or curtailment of trade between Israel and its present trading partners could adversely
affect our operations and could make it more difficult for us to raise capital.
Furthermore, many of our employees and subcontractors are located in Israel, which could
still face a renewal of civil unrest, terrorist activity and military action. Since we do
not have a detailed disaster recovery plan that would allow us to quickly resume business
activity, we could experience serious disruptions if acts associated with this conflict
result in any serious damage to our facilities. Our business interruption insurance may
not adequately compensate us for losses that may occur and any losses or damages incurred
by us could have a material adverse effect on our business. We cannot give any assurance
that security and political conditions will not have such an effect in the future. Any
future armed conflicts or political instability in the region would likely negatively
affect business conditions and harm our results of operations.
Furthermore,
all non-exempt male adult permanent residents of Israel especially under the age of 40,
including some of our office holders and employees, are obligated to perform military
reserve duty and may be called to active duty under emergency circumstances. In the past
there have been significant call ups of military reservists, and it is possible that there
will be additional call-ups in the future. While we have operated effectively despite
these conditions in the past, we cannot assess the impact these conditions may have on us
in the future, particularly if emergency circumstances occur. Our operations could be
disrupted by the absence for a significant period of one or more of our executive officers
or key employees or a significant number of our other employees due to military service.
Any disruption in our operations would harm our business.
20
The
Israeli rate of inflation may negatively impact our costs if it exceeds the rate of
devaluation of the New Israeli Shekel against the U.S. Dollar.
A
large part of our costs in Israel is not denominated in dollars and may be influenced by
the rate of devaluation of the New Israeli Shekel. Should inflation in Israel impact our
costs at a rate that exceeds the rate of devaluation of the New Israeli Shekel against the
U.S. dollar our dollar costs in Israel will increase, thus reducing our profitability. In
the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, the Israeli economy recorded deflation of
approximately 0.1% and the NIS devalued against the U.S. Dollar by approximately 0.8%.
However, in the last 15 years the Israeli economy recorded inflation of approximately 115%
and the U.S. dollar devalued against the NIS by approximately 85%. There can be no
assurance that we will not incur losses from such fluctuations in the future
We
may not be eligible to receive grants or programs provided to us from our participation
in research and development, investments and other programs or we may be restricted from
manufacturing products or transferring our intellectual property outside of Israel.
We
have received certain grants and programs from the Israeli Government. Some of these
programs may restrict our right to manufacture products or transfer our intellectual
property outside of Israel. If we do not meet certain conditions in the future, we may
have to refund payments previously received under these programs or pay fines.
Service
and enforcement of legal process.
Service
of process upon directors and officers of our company and the Israeli experts named
herein, all of who reside outside the United States, may be difficult to effect within the
United States. Furthermore, since the majority of our assets are located outside the
United States, any judgment obtained against us in the United States may not be
enforceable within the United States. We have been informed by our legal counsel in
Israel, Yigal Arnon & Co., that there is doubt as to the enforceability of civil
liabilities under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act in original actions instituted
in Israel. However, subject to certain time limitations, Israeli courts may enforce United
States final executory judgments for liquidated amounts in civil matters obtained after
due trial before a court of competent jurisdiction (according to the rules of private
international law currently prevailing in Israel) which enforces similar Israeli
judgments, provided that: (i) due service of process has been effected; (ii) such
judgments or the enforcement thereof are not contrary to the law, public policy, security
or sovereignty of the State of Israel; (iii) such judgments were not obtained by fraud and
do not conflict with any other valid judgment in the same matter between the same parties;
and (iv) an action between the same parties in the same matter is not pending in any
Israeli court at the time the lawsuit is instituted in the foreign court.
21
The
recent issuance of shares and warrants and the conversion of our outstanding convertible
notes dilutes the ownership interest of existing shareholders
Through
the issuance of 805,000 ordinary shares in connection with the transaction described above
under Recent Developments Private Placements with U.S. Institutional
Investors, the ownership interests of existing shareholders have been diluted by 18%
based on 3,647,875 shares outstanding immediately prior to that transaction. Further,
should the Warrants described above under Recent Developments Private
Placement with U.S. Institutional Investors be fully exercised and 402,500 shares be
issued, the ownership interest of the shareholders before that transaction will be diluted
by approximately an additional 8%.
If
the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part is not filed and
declared effective within certain time limits, we may face significant penalties.
Pursuant
to a Registration Rights Agreement with the investors in the private placement
described above under Recent Developments - Private Placement with U.S. Institutional Investors, we
were obligated to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission no later
than June 1, 2007, covering the public resale of all of the ordinary shares issued to the investors on
April 2, 2007, or issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. This prospectus forms part of such
registration statement. The registration statement has to be declared effective by the Commission by
October 29, 2007 (except that this deadline will be extended with respect to ordinary shares which
cannot be registered on the registration statement because the Commission would characterize the
offering as a primary offering if such ordinary shares were included). If the registration statement is
not declared effective timely, we must pay liquidated damages up to 1% of the purchase price paid by
the affected investors plus up to 1% for each month after such event and as long as the registration
statement is not declared effective.
If
the registration statement for the resale of the shares to the sellers in connection with
theacquisition of Cellocator is not declared effective within certain time limits, we may
facesignificant penalties.
Pursuant
to a Registration Rights Agreement with Cellocator entered into in connection with the
acquisition of Cellocators and Matans business described above under
Recent Developments Acquisition of Cellocator Ltd. and Matan Y. Communication
and Tracking Systems Ltd., we are obligated to file a registration statement with
the Securities and Exchange Commission covering the resale of the 160,000 ordinary shares
issued to the sellers no later than 95 calendar days after effectiveness of the
registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. If registration statement is
not declared effective within 270 calendar days after the effectiveness of the
registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, we will be required to pay
liquidated damages of 2% per month of the aggregate amount of the convertible note issued
to Cellocator.
In
addition, under the Registration Rights Agreement, we are obligated to file a registration
statement for the ordinary shares issuable under the convertible debenture no later than
December 18, 2008. That registration statement needs to be declared effective within 60
days of filing. Although no liquidated damages are due under the Registration Rights
Agreement for any late filing or effectiveness of the registration statement, in the event
that we breach our obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, we may be liable
for damages based on breach of contract.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any of the
proceeds from the sale of ordinary shares by our selling shareholders. We have agreed to
bear all expenses relating to the registration of the ordinary shares registered pursuant
to the registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part. In the event any of the
warrants or options are exercised we would receive the gross proceeds from such exercise
(provided the exercise is for cash) and such proceeds will be used for general corporate
purposes including working capital.

UNAUDITED
PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
POINTER TELOCATION LTD., CELLOCATOR LTD. AND
MATAN Y.
COMMUNICATION AND TRACKING SYSTEMS LTD.
|
The
following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet and statement of operations have
been prepared to give effect to our acquisition of the substantially all of the tangible and intangible
assets of Cellocator Ltd., or Cellocator, and Matan Y. Communication and Tracking Systems Ltd., or Matan,
(excluding cash and cash equivalents and owned vehicles) and assumed certain liabilities under the
purchase method of accounting after giving effect to the pro forma adjustments described in the
accompanying notes.
The
unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended
December 31, 2006, gives effect to the acquisition of the assets and the assumption of
substantially all of the liabilities of Cellocator and Matan as if it had occurred on
January 1, 2006 and combine our historical statements of operations and Cellocator and
Matan for these periods. The pro forma balance sheet combines our historical balance
sheets as of December 31, 2006 and the combined balance sheet of Cellocator and Matan as
of December 31, 2006 as if the acquisition had occurred on December 31, 2006.
This
pro forma information should be read in conjunction with our consolidated historical
financial statements (including notes thereto) that are incorporated by reference in this
prospectus and the combined historical financial statements (including notes thereto) of
Cellocator and Matan that are included elsewhere in this prospectus.
Unaudited
pro forma consolidated financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only
and is not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations that
would have actually been reported had the transaction occurred at the beginning of the
period presented, nor is it necessarily indicative of future results of operations.
24
The
unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statement of operations and balance sheet are
based upon our historical financial statements and the combined historical financial
statements of Cellocator and Matan, which have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, in the United States, or U.S. GAAP. The unaudited
pro forma consolidated financial statement of operations and balance sheet do not
incorporate, nor do they assume, any benefits from cost savings or synergies of the
combined company. The pro forma adjustments are based on available financial information
and certain estimates and assumptions that we believe are reasonable and that are set
forth in the notes to the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statement of
operations and balance sheet. In the opinion of management, all adjustments have been made
that are necessary to present fully the unaudited pro forma data.

Notes to Unaudited Pro
Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations
(All amounts are in thousands except
per share data)
NOTE 1 BASIS OF
PRO FORMA PRESENTATION
On
September 18, 2007, we completed the acquisition of all of the assets and assumed
substantially all of the liabilities of Cellocator and Matan in return for consideration consisting of
(i) NIS 61,857,984 approximately $15.1 million; (ii) 160,000 of our ordinary shares; and (iii) a
non-tradable debenture with a face value of $1,921,668 convertible into 160,000 of our ordinary shares
(with a current fair value of $ 1,939,937). In addition, Cellocator and Matan will be entitled to an
amount equivalent to the difference between the acquired tangible assets and the undertakings of the
Sellers being transferred in accordance with their value as presented in the financial statements of the
Sellers, as of the closing date.
We funded the acquisition as follows:
|
1.
|
On December
28, 2006 we entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with a group of Israeli
institutional investors for the purchase of 425,000 of our ordinary shares for
an aggregate price of $4.7 million. The transaction was consummated on January
12, 2007. Pursuant to the transaction, the investors were also issued warrants
to purchase 212,500 ordinary shares, such that for each one share purchased the
investors acquired a warrant to purchase half an ordinary share. The warrants
are exercisable into ordinary shares, at an exercise price per share of $13.00
and are exercisable for a period of four years.
|
|
2.
|
On
April 2, 2007, we entered into and consummated a share purchase agreement, or
the April Investment, with a group of U.S.-based institutional investors
for the purchase of 805,000 of our ordinary shares for an aggregate price
of $8.5 million. Pursuant to the transaction, the investors were also
issued warrants to purchase 402,500 ordinary shares, such that for each
one share purchased the investors acquired a warrant to purchase half an
ordinary share. The warrants are exercisable into ordinary shares, at an
exercise price per share of $
12.60
and are exercisable for a period
of five years.
|
27
|
3.
|
$
5 million was funded by a seven year loan provided to the Company by Bank
Hapoalim B.M. The loan bears interest at the rate of Libor +2%. Under the
credit facility from Bank Hapoalim B.M., we are required to meet certain
financial covenants.

The
consideration is comprised of the following:

The
application of purchase accounting under FAS 141 requires that the total purchase price be
allocated to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition
date, with amounts exceeding the fair values being recorded as goodwill. The assets and
liabilities of Cellocator and Matan have been included in the balance sheet based on our
assessment of their fair value as of the date of the acquisition. Long-lived assets such
as property and equipment were recorded using the estimated replacement cost fair market
value which takes into account changes in technology, usage, and relative obsolescence and
depreciation of the assets. In addition, assets and liabilities that would not normally be
recorded in ordinary operations will be recorded at their acquisition values (i.e.,
customer relationships that were developed by the acquired company). Other assets and
liabilities are valued based on the acquiring companys estimates. After all values
have been assigned to assets and liabilities, the remainder of the purchase price is
recorded as goodwill.
The
allocation process requires an analysis of acquired property and equipment, contracts,
customer lists and relationships, contractual commitments, legal contingencies and brand
value to identify and record the fair value of all assets acquired and liabilities
assumed. In valuing acquired assets and assumed liabilities, fair values were based on,
but not limited to: future expected discounted cash flows for customer relationships;
current replacement cost for similar capacity and obsolescence for certain property and
equipment; comparable market rates for contractual obligations and certain investments and
liabilities; expected settlement amounts for litigation and contingencies; and appropriate
discount rates and growth rates.
28
The
purchase price allocation for the Cellocator and Matan acquisition is preliminary and is
subject to revision as more detailed analyses are completed and additional information on the fair value
of assets and liabilities becomes available. Any change in the fair value of the net assets of
Cellocator and Matan will change the amount of the purchase price allocable to goodwill. We anticipate
finalizing the purchase price allocation process and updating the changes in our financial statement of
December 31, 2007.
The following table summarizes the
preliminary estimated fair values of the Cellocator and Matan assets acquired and
liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date:

The customer relationships will be
amortized over a seven year period according to the economic benefit expected from those
customers each period. The developed technology is being amortized over a five year
period. The brand names are being amortized over a nine year period.
Goodwill
and intangible assets acquired in a business combination and determined to have an
indefinite useful life are not amortized but instead tested for impairment at least annually and between
annual tests in certain circumstances in accordance with the provisions of FASB SFAS No. 142 Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets
NOTE 2 PRO FORMA
ADJUSTMENTS
Pro
forma adjustments are necessary to reflect the estimated purchase price, to adjust amounts
related to Cellocators and Matans net tangible and intangible assets to a
preliminary estimate of the fair values of those assets and to reflect the amortization
expense related to the estimated amortizable intangible assets.
The
unaudited pro forma combined financial statements do not include adjustments for
liabilities relating to Emerging Issues Task Force No. 95-3 (EITF 95-3),
Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination.
Management is in the process of assessing what, if any, future actions are necessary.
However, liabilities ultimately may be recorded for severance or relocation costs, or
other costs associated with the elimination of duplicate facilities and capital
expenditures.
29
We
have not identified any material pre-acquisition contingencies where the related asset,
liability or impairment is probable and the amount of the asset, liability or impairment
can be reasonably estimated. Prior to the end of the purchase price allocation period, if
information becomes available which would indicate it is probable that such events have
occurred and the amounts can be reasonably estimated, such items will be included in the
purchase price allocation.
The pro forma adjustments included in
the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are as follows:
|
a.
|
Cash
and cash equivalents:
|
|
We
paid $15.1 million to Cellocator and Matan (the cash consideration) and a
total amount of $ 0.5 million for the excess value of the net tangible assets that
were acquired.
|
|
To
fund the acquisition we raised $ 12.1 million (net of expenses) in 2007 pursuant to two
share purchase agreements, and Bank Hapoalim B.M. provided us with a $5 million loan. We
did not purchase the cash and cash equivalents held by Cellocator and Matan.
|
|
b.
|
Convertible
debenture:
|
|
Part
of the total consideration is a non tradable debenture convertible into 160,000 ordinary
shares of the Company, nominal value NIS 3.00 each in the total amount of $1,921,668 with
a current fair value of $1,939,937
|
|
c.
|
Financial
expenses incurred in connection with the loan provided to finance the
acquisition and the interest incurred on the convertible debenture.
|
|
d.
|
Elimination
of tangible assets which were not included in the acquisition agreement
and were not transferred to our company.
|
|
e.
|
Allocation
of the total cost of the acquisition and depreciation of intangibles assets
which were recognized in the context of the purchase price allocation.
|
|
f.
|
Additional
salary expenses with respect to the acquisition.
|
NOTE 3 PRO FORMA NET INCOME PER SHARE
The
unaudited pro forma basic and diluted earnings per share for 2006 are based on the basic
and diluted weighted average of our shares during the period, which were retroactively
adjusted to reflect shares issued whose proceeds will be used to fund the acquisition.

SELLING SHAREHOLDERS
In
accordance with the terms of a registration rights agreement among the Company and the
selling stockholders, this prospectus generally covers the resale of the sum of (i) the
number of Ordinary Shares issued, and (ii) the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares issued
or issuable upon exercise of the related warrants as of the trading day immediately
preceding the date the registration statement is initially filed with the SEC.
Because the exercise price of the warrants may be adjusted, the number of shares that will
actually be issued may be more or less than the number of shares being offered by this
prospectus.
The
table below sets forth:
|
|
the
names of each of the selling shareholders;
|
|
|
the number
of ordinary shares beneficially owned by the selling shareholders, as of September 18, 2007;
|
|
|
the percentage
of our outstanding ordinary shares beneficially owned by each of the selling
shareholders as of September 18, 2007;
|
|
|
the
number of ordinary shares that each selling shareholder is offering under this
prospectus;
|
|
|
the
number of ordinary shares that each selling shareholder will beneficially own assuming
the sale of all of the ordinary shares offered by this prospectus; and
|
|
|
the
percentage of our outstanding ordinary shares that each selling shareholder will
beneficially own assuming the sale of all of the ordinary shares offered by this
prospectus.
|
All
of the shares registered hereunder (including 402,500 ordinary shares issuable upon the
exercise of warrants) may be sold by certain selling shareholders who acquired their
shares pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and subsequent investment agreement. The selling
stockholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See
Plan of Distribution.
Except
as noted below, none of these selling shareholders has held any position or office or had
a material relationship with us or any of our affiliates within the past three years,
other than as a result of the ownership of our ordinary shares.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Each
selling shareholder of the ordinary shares and any of their pledgees (which are accredited
investors (as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act) or which are in connection
with bona fide margin accounts with a registered broker-dealer or financial institution
which is an accredited investor), assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to
time, sell any or all of their ordinary shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market or any other
stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private
transactions. These sales may be at fixed, prices, at prevailing market prices at the time
of sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or negotiated prices. A selling
shareholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
|
|
ordinary
brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits
purchasers;
|
|
|
block
trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may
position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
|
33
|
|
purchases
by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
|
|
|
an
exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
|
|
|
privately
negotiated transactions;
|
|
|
settlement
of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement
of which this prospectus is a part;
|
|
|
broker-dealers
may agree with the selling shareholder to sell a specified number of such shares
at a stipulated price per share;
|
|
|
through
the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through
an options exchange or otherwise;
|
|
|
a
combination of any such methods of sale; or
|
|
|
any
other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
|
The
selling shareholder may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers
engaged by the selling shareholder may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in
sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling shareholder
(or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser)
in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus,
in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in
compliance with NASDR Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or
markdown in compliance with NASDR IM-2440.
In
connection with the sale of the ordinary shares or interests therein, the
Selling
shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial
institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the ordinary shares in the course
of hedging the positions they assume. The selling shareholders may also sell shares of the
ordinary shares short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions and
to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales, or loan or pledge the
ordinary shares to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling
shareholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other
financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require
the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by
this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell
pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
34
The
selling shareholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the
shares may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities
Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such
broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may
be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each
selling shareholder has informed us that it does not have any written or oral agreement or
understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the ordinary shares.
In no event shall any broker dealer receive fees, commissions and markups which, in the
aggregate, would exceed eight percent (8%).
We
are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration
of the shares. We has agreed to indemnify the selling shareholders against certain losses,
claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
In
addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to
Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this
prospectus. There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the
proposed sale of the resale shares by the selling shareholders.
We
agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the
shares may be resold by the selling shareholder without registration and without regard to
any volume limitations by reason of Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act or any other rule
of similar effect or (ii) all of the shares have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or
Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale shares
will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under
applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale shares may
not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state
or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is
complied with.
Under
applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the
distribution of the resale shares may not simultaneously engage in market making
activities with respect to the ordinary shares for the applicable restricted period, as
defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the
Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the
rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of
purchases and sales of shares of the ordinary shares by the selling shareholders or any
other person.
Expenses of the Offering
We
have incurred, or will incur, approximately $115,000 of expenses in connection with the
sale of the ordinary shares covered by this prospectus. We have agreed to incur all of
such costs on behalf of the selling shareholders.

COMBINED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2006
IN U.S. DOLLARS
INDEX
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of:
Cellocator Ltd.
Matan Y. Communication and Tracking Systems Ltd.
We have audited the accompanying
combined balance sheets of Cellocator Ltd. and Matan Y. Communication and Tracking Systems
Ltd. (Hereafter together the Company) as of December 31, 2006 and 2005,
and the related combined statements of income, changes in shareholders equity and
cash flows for each of the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004. These combined
financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards in the 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. 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the combined
financial statements referred to above, present fairly, in all material respects, the
combined financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the
combined results of their operations, changes in the shareholders equity and their
cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed in Note 1 B to the
accompanying combined financial statements, the Company entered into a sale of business
agreement with third party on July 16, 2007, whereby the Company will sell all of its
tangible and intangible assets, net of certain liabilities to be assumed by the third
party. The closing of the transaction is subject to completion of due-diligence
examination and certain other closing conditions agreed upon by the parties. The
accompanying financial statements do not include the effect of such sale of business.
As discussed in Note 8 D to the
accompanying combined financial statements, the Company is defendant in a lawsuit by a
former distributor of the Company, filed in the I.C.C International Arbitration Institute
in Paris, France, for a compensation claim of $ 3.3 million. Management is of the opinion,
based on a legal advice received, that the ultimate outcome of this claim can not be
determined at this stage. Accordingly, no provision for liability that may result upon
adjudication of this matter has been made in the accompanying financial statements.

The
combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP").
|
|
A.
|
Financial
statements in U.S. dollars
|
|
The
majority of the Groups revenues are generated in U.S. dollars (dollar)
and a substantial portion of the Groups costs are incurred in dollars. In addition,
the Groups financing have been obtained in dollars. Accordingly, the dollar is the
currency of the primary economic environment in which the Group operates and the
functional and reporting currency of the Group is dollar.
|
|
Transactions
and balances denominated in dollars are presented at their dollar amounts. Non-dollar
transactions and balances are remeasured into dollars in accordance with the principles
set forth in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 52, Foreign
Currency Translation, of the Financial Accounting Standards Board of the United
States. All transaction gains and losses from remeasurement of monetary balance sheet
items denominated in non-dollar currencies are reflected in the combined statements of
operations as financial income or expenses, as appropriate.

Cellocator
Ltd. (Cellocator) and Matan Y. Communication and Tracking Systems Ltd. (Matan)
are commonly controlled companies which operate under common management. Most of Matan
sales are to Cellocator.
|
|
In
light of the dependency in the operations between Cellocator and Matan, and the agreement
for the sale of the entire business of the companies, see Note 1 B, management believes
that combined financial statements of Cellocator and Matan, as defined in Accounting
Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 51, would be useful and more meaningful to present the
financial position and the results of operations of the Group.
|
|
In
the combined financial statements, all material intercompany balances, transactions and
profit from intercompany transactions, which were not realized outside the group, have
been eliminated, in the same manner of as in consolidated financial statements.

|
Disclosure
of certain risks, uncertainties and use of estimates
|
|
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses, during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
|
|
The
industry, in which the Group is involved, is competitive and is characterized by the
risks of rapidly changing technologies and penetration into world markets. This requires
the investment of considerable resources and continuous development efforts. The Groups
future success is dependent upon several factors including the technological quality and
price/performance of its products relative to those of its competitors. Some of the Groups
competitors and potential competitors may have greater research, development, financial
or other resources or more extensive business experience than the Group. There can be no
assurance that the Group will be able to maintain the high technological quality of its
products relative to those of its competitors or to continue to develop or market new
products effectively.
|
|
See
Note 12 C in respect of dependency on customers.
|
|
The
Group is dependent upon certain vendors and subcontractors for the development of
specific Sub-assemblies and components that are integrated into the Groups
products, mainly Cellular modems and GPS devices. Management is of the opinion that the
level of component kept by the Group inventory, is adequate for the period of time which
is required for the Group to establish, if necessary, a secondary source for such
sub-assemblies and components.
|
|
During
the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, approximately 68%, 73% and 63% of total
purchase of raw materials by the Group is attributable to the purchase of sub-assemblies
and components from such suppliers.

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

Summary of significant accounting principles (Continued)
|
|
Management
determines the classification of its investments in debt securities with fixed maturities
at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designations as of each balance sheet date.
At December 31, 2005, all marketable securities covered by SFAS No. 115, Accounting
for Certain investments in Debt and Equity Securities (SFAS No. 115), were
designated as available-for-sale.
|
|
Accordingly,
these securities are stated at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses, reported
in accumulated other comprehensive income as separate component of shareholdersequity.
The amortized cost of available-for-sale securities is adjusted for amortization of
premiums to maturity. Such amortization and interest are included in financial income,
net.
|
|
Realized
gains and losses on sales of investments, as determined on a specific identification
basis, are included in the combined statement of income, among Other income, net.
According to Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 59, Accounting for Non-current
Marketable Equity Securities (SAB No. 59) management is required to
evaluate in each period whether a securitys decline in value is other than
temporary. In all reported periods, the Group did not record other than temporary decline
in the carrying value of its marketable securities.
|
|
Raw
materials, components, work in process and finished products are valued at the lower of
cost or market.
|
|
Cost
is determined as follows:
|
|
Raw
materials and components by the first in first out (FIFO) method.
|
|
Work
in process and finished products on the basis of the manufacturing costs, which
consist of raw materials and components using the FIFO method, labor and other
manufacturing overhead expenses at actual costs.
|
|
The
Company writes down its inventory for estimated obsolescence and unmarketable inventory
equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and estimated market value based
upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions
are less favorable than those anticipated, inventory adjustments may be required. The
Company believes that these estimates are reasonable and historically have not resulted
in material adjustments in subsequent periods when the estimates are adjusted to actual
amounts.

Impairment
of long-lived assets
|
|
The
Groups long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment in accordance with the
provisions set fourth in Financial Accounting Standard Board Statement No. 144 Accounting
for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets 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. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005 no impairment losses have been
identified. See Note 1 B for sale of business.
|
|
Revenues
from the sale of products to end users, service providers and resellers are recognized
upon shipment of the products when title passes to the customer.
|
|
In
accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements, revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement
exists, delivery of the product has occurred, provided the collection of the resulting
receivable is probable, the price is fixed or determinable and no significant obligation
exists.
|
|
The
Group does not grant a right of return to its customers. If uncertainties exist, such as
granting the customer a right of cancellation if the product is not technically
acceptable, revenue is recognized when the uncertainties are resolve.
|
|
Sales
to OEMs are recognized under the same terms mentioned above, since OEM orders from
the Group are upon receipt of a purchase order from an end user.

Research

|
|
Research
and development expenses are charged to expenses as incurred. Participations received
from the Government of Israel for development of approved projects are recognized as a
reduction of expenses when the related costs are incurred. Development costs incurred
subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility are capitalized in
accordance with the principles set forth in Financial Accounting Standard Board Statement
No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or
Otherwise Marketed. Based on the Groups product development process
technological feasibility is established upon completion of a working model i.e. only
when all planning, designing, coding and testing have been completed according to design
specifications. Costs incurred by the Group between completion of the working models and
the point at which the products are ready for general release has been insignificant.
Therefore, all research and development costs have been expensed.
|
|
Participation
by government departments for development of approved projects is recognized as a
reduction of expenses, as the related costs are incurred.

Allowance
for doubtful accounts
|
|
The
financial statements include specific allowances for doubtful accounts that appropriately
reflect, in managements opinion, the inherent loss in collection of the debts. This
provision has been based on the managements assessment, among others, of the risk
of the debt. This assessment relies on reviewing information in the managements
possession regarding the financial position of customers, the scope of their activities
and evaluation of securities the Group has received from its customers.
|
|
The
allowance for doubtful accounts expenses for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and
2004, was $ 3, $ 49 and $ 1, respectively.

|
|
Income
taxes are accounted for in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board Statement
No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS No. 109). This
statement prescribes the use of the liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and
liability account balances are determined based on temporary differences between
financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for tax loss carry
forwards. Deferred taxes are measured using the enacted laws and tax rates that will be
in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Group provides a valuation
allowance, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to their estimated realizable
value, see Note 10 F.
|
|
Results
for tax purposes are measured and reflected in real terms in accordance with the changes
in the Israeli Consumer Price Index (CPI). As explained in A above, the
combined financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars. In accordance with paragraph 9(f)
of SFAS No. 109, the Group has not provided deferred income taxes on the differences
resulting from changes in exchange rate and indexing for tax purposes.
|
|
Upon
the distribution of dividends from the tax-exempt income of Approved Enterprises (see
also Note 10 C), the amount distributed will be subject to corporate tax at the rate that
would have been applicable had the Group not been exempted from payment thereof. The
Group intends to permanently reinvest the amounts of tax exempt income and it does not
intend to cause distribution of such dividends. Therefore, no deferred income taxes have
been provided in respect of such tax-exempt income.
|
|
Deferred
tax assets and liabilities of Cellocator are not offset against Matan deferred tax assets
and liabilities.
|
|
N.
|
Concentrations
of credit risk
|
|
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Group to concentrations of credit risk consist
principally of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and trade receivables.
|
|
Cash
and cash equivalents, are deposited with major banks in Israel and the United States.
Such deposits in the United States may be in excess of insured limits and are not insured
in other jurisdictions. Management believes that the financial institutions that hold the
Groups cash and cash equivalents and short-term bank deposits, are financially
sound, and, accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to these financial
instruments.
|
|
The
Groups marketable securities include investment in debentures, mutual funds and in
shares. Management believes that the companies that issued the debentures and the shares
are financially sound, the portfolio is well diversified, and accordingly, minimal credit
risk exists with respect to the marketable securities.

Concentrations
of credit risk (Continued)
|
|
The
Groups trade receivables are derived mainly from sales to customers in Europe and
South America. This concentration of credit risk within geographical markets may be
affected by changes in the economy, the financial position and other conditions which
affected them and may accordingly, have an impact on the Groups overall credit
risk. See Note 12 A and D, in respect of revenues geographic information.
|
|
The
Group generally does not require collateral, however, in certain circumstances; the Group
may require letters of credit. The Group performs ongoing credit evaluation of their
customers financial condition. The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined
with respect to specific debts that are doubtful of collection. As for allowance for
doubtful accounts, see L above.
|
|
The
Group has no off-balance-sheet concentration of credit risk such as foreign exchange
contracts, option contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements.
|
|
The
Groups liability for severance pay to its employees pursuant to Israeli law and
employment agreements is covered in part by managers insurance policies, for which
the Group makes monthly payments. The value of these polices is recorded as an asset in
the Groups balance sheet. The Group may only make withdrawals from the managers insurance
policies for the purpose of paying severance pay.
|
|
The
severance pay liability is calculated on the basis of one months salary for each
year of service, based on the most recent salary of each employee.
The expenses in
respect of severance pay for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 were $ 63 and $
29, respectively, and income of $ 3, for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Fair
value of financial instruments
|
|
The
estimated fair value of financial instruments has been determined by the Group using
available market information and valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is
required in estimating fair values. Accordingly, the estimates may not be indicative of
the amounts the Group could realize in a current market exchange.
|
|
The
carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, other accounts
receivable, trade payables and other accounts payable approximate their fair values, due
to the short-term maturities of such instruments.
|
|
The
fair value for marketable securities classified as available-for-sale is based on quoted
market prices.
|
|
The
fair value of long-term liabilities is estimated by discounting the future cash flows,
using the rate currently available for liabilities of similar terms and maturity. The
carrying amount of the Groups long-term liabilities approximates their fair value.

On
December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Financial
Accounting Standard Board Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based
Payment (SFAS 123 (R)), which is a revision of Financial
Accounting Standard Board Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation. SFAS 123 (R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees, and amends Financial Accounting Standard Board
Statement No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach in SFAS
123 (R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS 123. However, SFAS
123 (R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants
of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based
on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative.
The new standard was effective for the Group in the first interim period
beginning after January 1, 2006.
|
|
The
Group implemented SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective method starting January 1,
2006. Under this method, the Group will recognize compensation cost for equity-based
compensation for all new and existing unvested share-based awards after the date of
adoption. The adoption of the SFAS 123(R) did not have an impact on the combined results

No. 43, Chapter 4, to clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility
expense, freight handling costs and wasted materials (spoilage) should be
recognized as current-period charges. In addition, SFAS No. 151 requires that
allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be
based on normal capacity of the production facilities. SAFS No. 151 is
effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after
June 15, 2005. The Group adopted SFAS No. 151 on January 1, 2006, as
required. The adoption of SFAS No. 151 did not have a material impact on
the Groups financial position or results of operations

No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments-an
Amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140, (SFAS No. 155), to
simplify and make more consistent the accounting for certain financial
instruments. SFAS No. 155 amends Financial Accounting Standard Board
Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities, to permit fair value remeasurement for any hybrid
financial instrument with an embedded derivative that otherwise would
require bifurcation, provided that the whole instrument is accounted for
on a fair value basis. SFAS No. 155 amends Financial Accounting Standard
Board Statement No. 140, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal
of Long-Lived Assets, to allow for a qualifying special-purpose
entity to hold a derivative financial instrument that relates to a
beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument.
SFAS No. 155 applies to all financial instruments acquired or issued after
the beginning of an entitys first fiscal year that begins after
September 15, 2006, with earlier application permitted. Accordingly, the
Group adopted SFAS No. 155 on January 1, 2007. The adoption of SFAS No.

Among other requirements, SFAS No. 157 defines fair value and establishes
a framework for measuring fair value and also expands disclosure about the
use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 157 is
effective beginning the first fiscal year that begins after November 15,

In
September 2006, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standard Board Statement
No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and
Other Postretirement Plans an amendment of F Financial Accounting
Standard Board Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R) (SFAS No. 158).
SFAS No. 158 requires an employer to recognize the over-funded or
under-funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a
multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial
position, to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which
the changes occur through comprehensive income as well as prescribing
additional disclosure requirements. The provisions of this statement are
effective for all other companies in fiscal years ending after June 15,
2007. In addition, a Group must now measure the fair value of its plan
assets and benefit obligations as of the date of its year-end balance
sheet. A Group is no longer permitted to measure the funded status of its
plan by being able to choose a measurement date up to three months prior
to year end. This provision within the Standards is effective for all
companies in fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The Group does
not anticipate the adoption of this new accounting principle will have a
material effect on its financial statements

In
February 2007, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standard Board Statement
No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial
Liabilities (SFAS No. 159). This Statement provides
companies with an option to report selected financial assets and
liabilities at fair value. Generally accepted accounting principles have
required different measurement attributes for different assets and
liabilities that can create artificial volatility in earnings. The
Statements objective is to reduce both complexity in accounting for
financial instruments and the volatility in earnings caused by measuring
related assets and liabilities differently. This Statement is effective as
of the beginning of an entitys first fiscal year beginning after
November 15, 2007. The Group is currently evaluating the impact of

In
September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission released Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year
Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial
Statements, (SAB 108), which addresses how uncorrected
errors in previous years should be considered when quantifying errors in
current-year financial statements. SAB 108 requires registrants to
consider the effect of all carry over and reversing effects of prior-year
misstatements when quantifying errors in current-year financial
statements. SAB 108 does not change the Staffs previous guidance on
evaluating the materiality of errors. It allows registrants to record the
effects of adopting SAB 108 guidance as a cumulative-effect adjustment to
retained earnings. This adjustment must be reported in the annual
financial statements for the first fiscal year ending after November 15,
2006. The initial adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material impact on
the Groups financial condition and results of operation.

In
June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (FIN No. 48), Accounting
for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of Financial
Accounting Standard Board Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income
Taxes. FIN No. 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertain tax
positions. FIN No. 48 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies
should recognize, measure, present and disclose in their financial
statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax
return. Under FIN No. 48, tax positions shall initially be recognized in
the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will
be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions
shall initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax
benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate
settlement with the tax authority, assuming full knowledge of the position
and all relevant facts. FIN No. 48 also revises disclosure requirements to
include an annual tabular rollforward of unrecognized tax benefits. The
provisions of this interpretation are required to be adopted for fiscal
periods beginning after December 15, 2006. As applicable to the Group, the
interpretation prescribed by FIN No. 48 will be effective commencing
January 1, 2007. The Group is currently evaluating the impact that the
adoption of FIN No. 48 would have on its combined financial statements.

Standards Board No. 106 or Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 12 if
the employer has agreed to maintain a life insurance policy during the
employees retirement or provide the employee with a death benefit.
EITF No. 06-10 also requires an employer to recognize and measure an asset
based on the nature and substance of the collateral assignment
split-dollar life insurance arrangement. EITF No. 06-10 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007 with early adoption
permitted. The Group is evaluating the impact that the adoption of EITF
No. 06-10 will have on its financial statements.

|
A.
|
The
Group is committed to pay royalties to the Israeli government on proceeds from
the sales of products, the research and development of which the Israeli
government participated by way of grants. Under the terms of the Groups
funding from the Office of the Chief Scientist, royalty payments are computed
on the portion of sales from such products at a rate of 3.5% 5%. The
commitment to the Office of the Chief Scientist is limited to the amount of the
received grants (dollar linked) since January 1, 1999 with the addition
of an annual interest rate based on Libor.
|
|
During
the three years ended December 31, 2006, the Group did not generate revenues from
products developed pursuant to research and development plans with the participation of
the Chief Scientist. Therefore, the financial statements do not include royalty liability
due by the Group to the Chief Scientist.
|
|
B.
|
The
Group is committed to pay marketing commissions and finder fees at a range of
4.5% to 13.5% of proceed from sales which were received through promotion and
distribution carried out by third parties. Commission expenses and finder fees
costs were $ 145, $ 74 and $ 277, for the years ended December 31, 2006,
2005 and 2004, respectively.

A
former distributor of the Group, Starcom Ltd. filed a lawsuit against the
Group with the I.C.C International Arbitration Institute in Paris, France.
|
|
Stracom
Ltd. alleges that the Group violated a distribution agreement between the parties Starcom
Ltd. seeks compensation for damages caused by the alleged breach of agreement, in the
amount of $ 1,000.
|
|
The
I.C.C institute approved Starcom Ltd. request to increase the compensation damages
claim to $ 3,300.
|
|
A
hearing is expected to take place during September 2007.
|
|
In
June 2007, subsequent to the balance sheet date, Starcom Ltd. filed an application for a
temporary lien against the Group for $ 3,300, with the Tel-Aviv District Court. On July
22, 2007, the court approved a temporary attachment of $ 1,000, effective upon the
closing of the sale of business transaction (See Note 1 B).
|
|
The
Group believes that the allegations against it in this proceeding are without merit.
Nevertheless, based on a legal advice received, management is of the opinion that the
ultimate outcome of this claim can not be determined at this stage. Accordingly, no
provision for liability that may result upon adjudication of this matter has been made in
the accompanying financial statements.
|
|
(2)
|
The
Group is subject to additional claims from third parties, raised in the
ordinary course of business. Based on its legal advisors opinion, the
Group provided a total amount of $ 12 in its financial statements for such
claims.
|
|
The
Groups management is of the opinion, based on legal advice received that the
financial statements as of December 31, 2006, include adequate provision to cover all the
Groups exposure, if any, that would arise from the settlement of such lawsuits and
claims.

Tax
benefits under the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959 (the
Law)
|
|
A
certain expansion plan of the Group has been granted an Approved Enterprisestatus,
under the Law. The Group has elected to receive its benefits through the alternative
benefits track, waiving grants in return for tax exemptions. Pursuant thereto, the
increase in income from the date of commencement of the program which is the income of
the Group derived from the following Approved Enterprise expansion programs
is tax-exempt for the periods stated below and will be eligible for reduced tax rates
thereafter (such reduced tax rates are dependent on the level of foreign investments in
the Company), as described below.
|
|
Income
derived from the program, which commenced in 2004, will entitle the Group to a tax
exemption for the two-year period ending December 31, 2005, and to a reduced tax
rate of 25% for an additional five years ending December 31, 2010.
|
|
The
entitlement to the above benefits is conditional upon the Group fulfilling the conditions
stipulated by the abovementioned law, regulations published thereunder and the letters of
approval for the specific investments in approved enterprises. In the event
of failure to comply with these conditions, the benefits may be canceled and the Group
may be required to refund the amount of the benefits, in whole or in part, including
interest. As of December 31, 2006, management believes that the Group is meeting all
of the aforementioned conditions.
|
|
The
tax-exempt income attributable to the Approved Enterprise can not be
distributed to shareholders without imposing tax liability on the Group other than in
complete liquidation. If the retained tax-exempt income is distributed to shareholders,
it would be taxed at the corporate tax rate applicable to such profits as if the Group
had not elected the alternative tax benefits track (currently 25%).
|
|
Out
of the Groups retained earnings as of December 31, 2006, approximately $ 3,560 are
tax-exempt under the law. If such tax-exempt income is distributed in a manner other than
upon the complete liquidation of the Group, it would be taxed at the reduced corporate
tax rate applicable to such profits (25%) and an income tax liability of up to
approximately $ 890 would be incurred as of December 31, 2006. The Groups
management has determined that it will not distribute any amounts of its undistributed
tax exempt income as dividend. See also Note 2 M.
|
|
Income
of the Group from sources other than the Approved Enterprise during the
benefit period will be subject to tax at the effective standard corporate tax rate in
Israel, see D below.

Tax
benefits under the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959 (the
Law)
(Continued)
|
|
On
April 1, 2005, an amendment to the Investment Law came into effect (the Amendment)
and has significantly changed the provisions of the Investment Law. The Amendment limits
the scope of enterprises which may be approved by the Investment Center by setting
criteria for the approval of a facility as an Approved Enterprise, such as provisions
generally requiring that at least 25% of the Approved Enterprises income will be
derived from export. Additionally, the Amendment enacted major changes in the manner in
which tax benefits are awarded under the Investment Law so that companies no longer
require Investment Center approval in order to qualify for tax benefits.
|
|
However,
the Investment Law provides that terms and benefits included in any certificate of
approval already granted will remain subject to the provisions of the law as they were on
the date of such approval. Therefore, the Groups existing Approved Enterprise will
generally not be subject to the provisions of the Amendment. As a result of the
amendment, tax-exempt income generated under the provisions of the new law, will subject
the Group to taxes upon distribution or liquidation and the Group may be required to
record deferred tax liability with respect to such tax-exempt income.
|
|
As
of December 31, 2006, the Group generated tax exempt income under the provision of the
new law at the amount of approximately $ 660.
|
|

|
Reduction
of Israeli corporate tax rate
|
|
Until
December 31, 2003, the regular tax rate applicable to income of companies (which are not
entitled to benefits due to Approved Enterprise, as described above) was 36%.
In June 2004 and in July 2005, the Knesset (Israeli parliament) passed
amendments to the Income Tax Ordinance (No. 140 and Temporary Provision), 2004 and (No.
147), 2005 respectively, which determine, among other things, that the corporate tax rate
is to be gradually reduced to the following tax rates: 2004 35%, 2005 34%,
2006 31%, 2007 29%, 2008 27%, 2009 26% and 2010 and

As
of December 31, 2006, the Group did not provide a valuation allowance in respect of
deferred tax assets, since management currently believes that it is more likely than not
that the deferred tax asset will be realized in the future.
|
|
Deferred
income taxes are computed using the effective rate applicable for the Group, in
accordance with reduced tax rates for approved enterprises under the Law for the
Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959, as amended (see C above), and the reduction
of Israeli corporate tax rate, which varies from 0% to 31%, based on managements
estimate the taxes rate for which the deferred taxes will be realized.

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
ITEM 8.
|
|
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
|
The
Israeli Companies Law-1999, or the Companies Law, provides that a company may include in
its articles of association provisions allowing it to:
1. partially
or fully, exempt in advance, an office holder of the company from his responsibility for
damages caused by the breach of his duty of care to the company, except for damages
caused to the Company due to any breach of such Office Holder's duty of care towards the
company in a "distribution" (as defined in the Companies Law).
2. enter
into a contract to insure the liability of an office holder of the company by reason of
acts or omissions committed in his capacity as an office holder of the company with
respect to the following:
(a) the
breach of his duty of care to the company or any other person;
(b) the
breach of his fiduciary duty to the company to the extent he acted in good faith and had
a reasonable basis to believe that the act or omission would not prejudice the interests
of the company; and
(c) monetary
liabilities or obligations which may be imposed upon him in favor of other persons.
3. indemnify
an office holder of the company for:
(a) monetary
liabilities or obligations imposed upon, or actually incurred by, such officer holder in
favor of other persons pursuant to a court judgment, including a compromise judgment or
an arbitrator's decision approved by a court, by reason of acts or omissions of such
officer holder in his or her capacity as an office holder of the company;
(b) reasonable
litigation expenses, including attorney's fees, actually incurred by such office holder
or imposed upon him or her by a court, in an action, suit or proceeding brought against
him or her by or on behalf of us or by other persons, or in connection with a criminal
action from which he or she was acquitted, or in connection with a criminal action which
does not require criminal intent in which he was convicted, in each case by reason of
acts or omissions of such officer holder in his or her capacity as an office holder; and
41
(c) reasonable
litigation expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually incurred by such office holder
due to an investigation or a proceeding instituted against such office holder by an
authority competent to administrate such an investigation or proceeding, and that was
finalized without the filing of an indictment against such office holder and without any
financial obligation imposed on such office holder in lieu of criminal proceedings, or
that was finalized without the filing of an indictment against such office holder but
with financial obligation imposed on such office holder in lieu of criminal proceedings
of a crime which does not require proof of criminal intent, in each case by reason of
acts of such officer holder in his or her capacity as an office holder of the company.
The
Companies Law provides that a company's articles of association may provide for
indemnification of an office holder post-factum and may also provide that a company may
undertake to indemnify an office holder in advance, as described in:
sub-section
3(a) above, provided such undertaking is limited to and actually sets forth the types of
occurrences, which, in the opinion of the company's board of directors based on the
current activity of the company, are, at the time such undertaking is provided,
foreseeable, and to an amount and degree that the board of directors has determined is
reasonable for such indemnification under the circumstances; and
sub-sections
3(b) and 3(c) above.
The
Companies Law provides that a company may not indemnify or exempt the liabilities of an
office holder or enter into an insurance contract which would provide coverage for the
liability of an office holder with respect to the following:
a
breach of his fiduciary duty, except to the extent described above;
a
breach of his duty of care, if such breach was done intentionally, recklessly or with
disregard of the circumstances of the breach or its consequences;
an
act or omission done with the intent to unlawfully realize personal gain; or
a
fine or monetary settlement imposed upon him.
Under
the Companies Law, the term "office holder" may include a director, managing director,
general manager, chief executive officer, executive vice president, vice president, other
managers directly subordinate to the managing director and any other person fulfilling or
assuming any such position or responsibility without regard to such person's title.
The
grant of an exemption, an undertaking to indemnify or indemnification of, and procurement
of insurance coverage for, an office holder of a company requires, pursuant to the
Companies Law, the approval of our audit committee and board of directors, and, in
certain circumstances, including if the office holder is a director, the approval of our
shareholders.
Our
Articles of Association have been amended to allow for indemnification of, and
procurement of insurance coverage for our officers and directors to the maximum extent
provided for by the Companies Law. We have entered into an insurance contract for
directors and officers.

Commission on April 3, 2007.
|
(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 this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
hereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change
in the information set forth in this 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 end 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 a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering
price set forth in the Calculation of Registration Fee table in the
effective registration statement; and
|
|
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution
not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change
to such information in this Registration Statement;
|
provided, however, that paragraphs
(a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included
in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is 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 this
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 herein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
|
44
|
(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 Regulation S-X 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.
|
(b) The
undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrants
annual reports pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plans annual report pursuant to 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 therein, 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 foregoing provisions, 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 Act 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 such Act and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue.
