Exhibit 99.1

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the shareholders of

POWERDSINE LTD.

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of PowerDsine Ltd. (the “Company”) and its subsidiary as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s Board of Directors and management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company and its subsidiary as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the consolidated results of their operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

POWERDSINE LTD.

(An Israeli Corporation)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

A. General

1) PowerDsine Ltd. (the “Company”) is an Israeli Company that together with its wholly owned U.S. subsidiary, PowerDsine, Inc. (collectively the “Group”) designs, develops and supplies integrated circuits, modules and systems that enable the implementation of Power-over-Ethernet (“P.O.E”) in local area networks. In addition to POE products, the Group also sells telecommunications products, including telephone ring signal generators and remote power feeding modules. As to the Group’s sales information and principal customers, see Note 8G.

2) Accounting principles

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

3) Use of estimates in the preparation of consolidated financial statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reported years. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

B. Functional currency

The currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company’s and its subsidiary’s operations are conducted is the U.S. dollar (“$” or “dollar”). Substantially all of the Group’s revenues are derived in dollars or in other currencies linked to the dollar. Purchases of most materials and components are carried out in, or linked to, the dollar. Thus, the functional currency of the Group is the dollar.

Balances in foreign currencies are translated into dollars using historical and current exchange rates at balance sheet date. For non-monetary and monetary balances, respectively. Foreign currency transactions are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations using the exchange rates at the transaction dates. Depreciation, amortization and changes in inventories and other changes deriving from non-monetary items are based on historical exchange rates. The resulting translation gains or losses are recorded as financial income or expenses, as appropriate.

 

C. Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, PowerDsine, Inc., a U.S. based-Company.

Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Profits from intercompany sales, not yet realized outside the Group, also have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

D. Cash equivalents

The Group considers all highly liquid investments, which include short-term bank deposits (up to three months from date of deposit) that are not restricted as to withdrawal or use, to be cash equivalents.

NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

E. Inventories

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

1) Raw materials on a weighted average basis.

2) Finished products on the basis of production costs:

Raw materials, and subcontracted work component-on a weighted average basis; and Labor and overhead component-at actual cost.

 

F. Marketable debt securities

The company classifies its existing marketable debt securities, in accordance with the provisions of statement of Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) No.115 “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” as available for sale. These investments are reported at market value with unrealized gains and losses, recorded as a separate component of comprehensive income or loss in shareholders equity until realized. Amounts reclassified out of accumulated comprehensive income into earning are determined by specific identification. The company includes in earnings under “Financial income, net”, interest and amortization of premiums and discounts over the maturity period for those debt securities and gains and losses on callable debt securities that matured early. For all investment securities, the company determines whether a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis is other than temporary, in which case the cost basis on the individual security is written down to fair value and the amount of the write down is included in earning as a realized loss. The Company does not hold these securities for speculative or trading purposes.

The company early adopted, upon there release in November 2005, the FSP FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments” (“FSP 115-1 and 124-1”), which clarifies when an investment is considered impaired, whether the impairment is other than temporary, and the measurement of an impairment loss. It also includes accounting considerations subsequent to the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment and requires certain disclosures about unrealized losses that have not been recognized as other-than-temporary impairments. FSP 115-1 and 124-1 are effective for all reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not believe adoption of FSP FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

G. Property and equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated by the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.

Depreciation periods are as follows:

 

     Years

Machinery and equipment

   7 - 15

Computers and peripheral equipment

   3 - 5  

Office furniture and equipment

   7 - 16

Leasehold improvements are amortized by the straight-line method over the term of the lease, which is shorter than the estimated useful life of the improvements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

H. Impairment of long-lived assets

Long-lived assets, held and used by the Group, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) of the long-lived assets is less than the carrying amount of such assets, an impairment loss would be recognized, and the assets are written down to their estimated fair values.

 

I. Revenue recognition

Revenues from sales of products are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement (usually in the form of purchase order) exists, delivery has occurred, title has passed to the customer, the Group’s price to the customer is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. In the majority of the Group’s agreements with distributors, distributors are entitled to return the Group’s products held by such distributors on the date of termination by either party to the agreement. In such terminable agreements, the sales price is neither fixed nor determinable until this cancellation privilege lapses. Therefore, revenues from transactions involving distributors and the related cost of sales are recognized when the products are delivered to the distributor’s customer. Revenues in respect of these transactions are included in deferred revenue until delivered to the distributor’s customers. The Group does not, in the normal course of business, grant rights to return products to its customers.

The Group provides for warranty costs at the same time as the revenue is recognized. The annual warranty provision is calculated as a percentage of sales, based on historical experience.

 

J. Research and development

Research and development expenses are charged to income as incurred.

 

K. Advertising expenses

Advertising expenses are charged to income as incurred (see also Note 8H).

 

L. Income taxes

1) Deferred taxes are computed in respect of differences between the amounts presented in these statements and those taken into account for tax purposes. As to the main factors in respect of which deferred taxes have been included—see note 7. Deferred tax balances are computed using the tax rates expected to be in effect at time of release to income from the deferred tax accounts. Valuation allowances in respect of deferred tax assets are provided when it is more likely than not that all or part of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

2) The Group may incur additional tax liability in the event of an interCompany dividend distribution; no account was taken of the additional tax, since it is the Group’s policy not to cause distribution of dividends, which would involve additional tax liability to the Group in the foreseeable future. Taxes, which would apply in the event of disposal of investment in the subsidiary, have not been taken into account in computing the deferred taxes, as it is the Company’s policy to hold this investment, not to realize it.

NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

3) Upon the distribution of dividends from the tax-exempt income of an “approved enterprise” (see Note 7), the amount distributed will be subject to tax at the rate that would have been applicable had the Company not been exempted from payment thereof. The company intends to permanently reinvest the amounts of tax exempt income and it does not intend to cause distribution of such income as cash dividends. Therefore, no deferred income taxes have been provided in respect of such tax exempt income.

 

M. Stock-based compensation

The Group accounts for employee stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and related interpretations. Under APB No. 25, deferred stock-based compensation is based on the difference, if any, on the grant date between the fair value of the company’s ordinary shares and the exercise price of related equity awards. The Company recognizes deferred stock-based compensation expense as the Company amortizes the deferred stock-based compensation amounts using the straight line method over the related vesting periods, generally four or five years. In accordance with FAS No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“FAS 123”), as amended by FAS 148, the Group discloses pro-forma information assuming the Group had accounted for employee stock option grants using the fair value-based method defined in FAS 123. The Company accounts for equity awards issued to non-employees in accordance with the provision of FAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, and EITF No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to other than Employee for Acquiring or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services” and related interpretations.

The following table illustrates the effect on net income (loss and net income (loss) per ordinary share assuming the Group had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FAS 123 to its stock-based compensation.

NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

N. Earning (loss) per share “EPS” (“LPS”)

Basic EPS (LPS) is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS reflects the increase in the weighted average number of shares outstanding that would result from the assumed exercise of options, calculated using the treasury-stock-method (in 2003 and 2004, such effect was not included since it would have been anti-dilutive). For reconciliation of weighted average number of ordinary shares used and number of potential ordinary shares included from the computation, see Note 8J.

 

O. Comprehensive income (loss)

The company’s components of comprehensive income (loss) are unrealized gains or losses on investments classified as available for sale in addition to net income (loss).

 

P. Fair value of financial instruments

The financial instruments of the Company consist mainly of non-derivative current assets, investments in marketable securities and current liabilities. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets approximate fair value due to the liquidity, the short term to the maturity and the nature of such instruments. As to the fair value of marketable debt securities, see Note 8E. The fair value of amounts funded in insurance policies in respect of employees severance pay is usually identical or close to their carrying value.

 

Q. Concentration of credit risks

Financial instruments that subject the Group to credit risks consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, which are deposited in major financial institutions in the U.S. and Israel.

A substantial part of the Group’s revenue is derived from its principal customers (see Note 8G). These customers are large and well-known enterprises all over the world. The Group evaluates the collectibility of its trade balances on a current basis. The allowance for doubtful accounts has been determined for specific debts where collection is doubtful.

 

R. Recently issued accounting pronouncements in the United States of America:

1) FAS 123 (Revised 2004) Share-based Payment

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued the revised Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”) No. 123, Share-Based Payment (“FAS 123R”), which addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions in which the Company obtains employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the Company or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the Company’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments .In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB 107) regarding the SEC’s interpretation of FAS 123R

SFAS 123(R) requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company accounted for stock-based awards to employees and directors using the intrinsic value method in accordance with APB 25 as allowed under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”).

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

FAS 123R eliminates the ability to account for employee share-based payment transactions using APB Opinion No. 25 - “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and requires instead that such transactions be accounted for using the grant-date fair value based method. As applicable to the group, this Statement will be effective as of the beginning of January 1, 2006. Early adoption of FAS 123R is encouraged. This Statement applies to all awards granted or modified after the Statement’s effective date. In addition, compensation cost for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain outstanding on the Statement’s effective date shall be recognized on or after the effective date, as the related services are rendered, based on the awards’ grant-date fair value as previously calculated for the pro-forma disclosure under FAS 123.

The Company estimates that the cumulative effect of adopting FAS 123R, as of its adoption date by the Company beginning of January 1, 2006, based on the awards outstanding as of December 31, 2005, will be approximately $77 thousands.

The company expects that upon the adoption of FAS 123R, the company will apply the modified prospective application transition method, as permitted by the Statement. Under such transition method, upon the adoption of FAS 123R, the Company’s financial statements for periods prior to the effective date of the Statement will not be restated.

The Company expects this Statement to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements or its results of operations in future periods.

The impact in the 2006 fiscal year and beyond will depend upon various factors, among the Company’s future compensation strategy. At December 31, 2005, unamortized compensation expense related to outstanding unvested options, as determined in accordance with SFAS 123(R), that the company expects to record during fiscal 2006 was approximately $3.6 million before taxation and any adjustment for forfeitures.

2) FAS 151 Inventory Costs - an amendment of ARB 43, Chapter 4

In November 2004, the FASB issued FAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs - an Amendment of ARB 43, Chapter 4” (“FAS 151”). This Statement amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, “Inventory Pricing”, to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material. This Statement requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges. In addition, this Statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. This Statement will be effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005 (January 1, 2006 for the Company). Earlier application of FAS 151 is permitted. The provisions of this Statement shall be applied prospectively. The Company does not expect this Statement to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements or its results of operations.

3) FAS 154 - Accounting Changes and Error Corrections - a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3

In June 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections - a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3”. This Statement generally requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle. Previously, Opinion No. 20 required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle were recognized by including the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle in net income of the period of the change. FAS 154 applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle. It also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. When a pronouncement includes specific transition provisions, those provisions should be followed. This Statement shall be effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005 (January 1, 2006 for the company). The company does not expect the adoption of this statement will have a material impact on the company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

4) FAS 155 - Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140

In February 2006, the FASB issued FAS 155, accounting for certain Hybrid Financial Instruments, an amendment of FASB statements No.133 and 140. This statement permits fair value measurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation. This statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. Earlier adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year, provided that no interim period financial statements have been issued for the financial year. Management is currently evaluating the impact of this statement, if any, on the Company’s financial statements or its results of operations.

5) EITF 04-13 - Accounting for Purchases and Sales of Inventory with the Same Counterparty

On September 15, 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) reached a consensus on Issue 04-3, “Accounting for Purchases and Sales of Inventory with the Same Counterparty.” EITF 04-13 describes the circumstances under which two or more inventory transactions with the same counterparty should be viewed as a single nonmonetary transaction, and describes the circumstances under which nonmonetary exchanges of inventory within the same line of business should be recognized at fair value. EITF 04-13 will be effective for transactions completed in reporting periods beginning after March 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the applicability of EITF 04-13 to the Company’s inventory transactions.

 

S. Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the Company’s prior years consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year’s consolidated financial statement presentation.

NOTE 4 - EMPLOYEE RIGHTS UPON RETIREMENT

A. Israeli labor law generally requires payment of severance pay upon dismissal of an employee or upon termination of employment in certain other circumstances. The Company has recorded a severance pay liability for the amount that would be paid if all its Israeli employees were dismissed at the balance sheet date, on an undiscounted basis, in accordance with Israeli labor law. This liability is computed based upon the number of years of service multiplied by the latest monthly salary. The amount of accrued severance pay represents the Company’s severance pay liability in accordance with labor agreements in force and based on salary components, which in management’s opinion, create an entitlement to severance pay. The liability is partly funded by insurance policies. The amounts funded are included among other assets (see Note 3). The Company may only utilize the insurance policies for the purpose of disbursement of severance pay.

B. Severance pay expenses amounted to approximately $538,000, $494,000 and $337,000 for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

C. The Company expects to pay $44,000 future benefits to its employees during the years 2010 to 2014 upon their normal retirement age. The amount was determined based on the employees current salary rates and the number of service years that will be accumulated upon the retirement date.

These amounts do not include amounts that might be paid to employees that will cease working for the Company before their normal retirement age.

D. The Company expects to contribute $500,000 in the year ending December 31, 2006 to the insurance policies in respect of its severance pay obligation.

The Complaint was filed by ChriMar Systems, Inc. (“ChriMar”) in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, Southern Division (the “Court”). In its Complaint, ChriMar Systems claims that the Group has infringed patent rights owned by it. ChriMar Systems requests that the Court determine the following: (1) that the patent was duly and legally issued, and is valid and enforceable ,(2) that the Group has directly and/or contributory infringed the patent and/or actively induced infringement of the patent by others, (3) that the Group be preliminarily and permanently enjoined from engaging in any further acts of infringement of the patent, (4) that ChriMar Systems be awarded damages adequate to compensate for the infringement by the Group, (5) that the infringement by the Group was willful, thereby entitling ChriMar Systems to recover treble damages, (6) that the infringement by the Group has been such to render the action exceptional and (7) that ChriMar Systems be awarded reasonable attorney’s fees, and (8) that ChriMar Systems be awarded such other and further relief as the Court may deem to be right and just.

NOTE 5 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued):

On February 21, 2002, the Group filed an answer to the Complaint in which the Group denied all of the allegations stated in the Complaint and raised additional defenses such as laches, estoppel, and failure to state a claim. Neither the Group nor ChriMar Systems took any other action in connection with this matter. ChriMar Systems also filed a lawsuit against Cisco Systems, Inc. (“Cisco”), alleging that Cisco products infringed their patent. On May 15, 2003, the Court, following a stipulation by the parties, entered an order staying the proceeding between ChriMar and the Group pending the resolution of the case against Cisco. In the case against Cisco, a Special Master appointed by the Court held that the plaintiff’s patent was not valid. The Court upheld the Special Master’s decision and unless the plaintiff appeals the decision or litigates its other claims, the suit against the Group will be dismissed. . In that case, by decision dated May 13, 2004 the court held that claim 1 of ChriMar’s patent is not valid. Based on the foregoing, we plan to (a) have some settlement discussions with ChriMar; and (b) if such discussions fail more to open the case and, based on the Court’s decisions in the Cisco, ask the Court to dismiss the case against the Group. At this stage of the litigation the Group’s management and its legal counsel cannot estimate the outcome of the litigation with ChriMar Systems and, therefore, no provisions have been included in the Group’s financial statements in respect of the foregoing claim.

2) On March 31, 2004, the U.S. subsidiary of the Group filed a complaint in the Federal District Court for the Southern District of New York against Network-1 Security Solutions, Inc (“Net-1”). In the complaint the U.S. subsidiary requests that the court declare that a certain patent assigned to Net-1 is either not infringed by the U.S. subsidiary’s products and /or is not valid. To this date the U.S. subsidiary and Net-1 have stipulated several times to delay the date on which Net-1 has to respond to the U.S. Subsidiary’s complaint. In addition, on January 21, 2005 the court denied Net-1’s Motion to Dismiss the U.S. subsidiary’s complaint. No further action has taken place in the case. However, the Company believes it is reasonable to assume that as part of its answer and response to the U.S. subsidiary’s complaint, Net-1 will file counterclaims alleging that the products sold by the Group infringe foregoing patent. On or about November 16, 2005, the Company, dismissed its complaint filed on March 31, 2004 (the “Complaint”) against Net-1. Net-1 had never filed an answer to the Complaint and had never asserted counterclaims against the Company. In the Complaint the Company sought declaratory relief, as opposed to monetary relief. As part of the dismissal the defendant made a covenant not to sue the Company on account of any integrated products. A more limited covenant not to sue was made in connection with a specific family of products where the covenant applies to all such family of products sales made prior to March 31, 2005.

NOTE 6 - SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY (continued):

In December 2003, following the tax reform in Israel (see Note 7J), the Company’s Board of Directors approved a revised Section 102 stock option plan (the “2003 plan”). Options granted under the 2003 plan may be granted to directors, officers and employees of the Group. The Company’s Board of Directors selected the capital gains tax track for options granted to the Group’s employees.

2) The 102 plan and the 2003 plan are subject to the terms stipulated by Section 102 of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance. Inter alia, these terms provide that the Company will be allowed to claim, as an expense for tax purposes, the amounts credited to the employees as a benefit in respect of shares or options granted under the plan.

The amount allowed as an expense for tax purposes, at the time the employee utilizes such benefit, is limited to the amount of the benefit that is liable to tax as labor income, in the hands of the employee amounts that, as liable to tax as capital gain income, in the hand of the employer, are not allowed as an expenses for tax purpose, all being subject to the restrictions specified in Section 102 of the Income Tax Ordinance.

3) Each option under the above mentioned plans can be exercised to purchase one ordinary share of NIS 0.01 par value of the Company. The ordinary shares issued upon exercise of the options will confer on holders the same rights as the other ordinary shares.

Options generally vest over four to five years from the date of grant. Any option not exercised within 10 years from grant date will expire, unless extended by the Board of Directors. The exercise price of the options granted under the plans is to be determined by the Board of Directors at the time of the grant.

4) In October 2001, the Company’s shareholders approved a grant of 750,000 options to purchase the same amount of the Company’s ordinary shares, NIS 0.01 par value, with an exercise price equal to $3.33, to its two co-founders (employees of the Company and shareholders), on the following terms:

(a) 300,000 of the options were fully vested on the grant date, and

(b) 450,000 vest on the earlier to occur of: (i) a Qualified IPO; or (ii) any deemed liquidation event in which the Series H preferred shareholders either receive or waive the right to receive their Series H Preferential Amount. In June 2004, upon completion of the IPO, the Company recorded a one-time stock-based compensation expense, in the amount of $3,677,000, equal to the difference between the IPO issuance price of $11.50 and $3.33, multiplied by 450,000.

In addition, in November 2003, the Company’s shareholders approved a grant, under the 2003 plan, of 255,000 options to purchase the same amount of the Company’s ordinary shares, NIS 0.01 par value, to its two co-founders. Those options have an exercise price of $3.33 and they vest over a period of five years.

5) At the 2003 annual shareholders meeting it was resolved to grant 37,500 fully vested options to a director. Each option is exercisable into one ordinary share of the Company with an exercise price of such options is $3.33.

In addition, at the same meeting it was resolved to grant 283,030 options to the Chairman of the Board of Directors (“Chairman”) for service rendered as Chairman. Each option is exercisable into one ordinary share of the Company. The exercise price of such options is $3.33. The options vest in four equal annual installments starting on the grant date.

NOTE 6 - SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY (continued):

6) At a meeting of the Company’s shareholders held at September 2004, the shareholders approved the grant of options to purchase 50,000 of the Company’s ordinary shares (the “Initial Grant”) to each external director and to each director currently in office other than the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer. The shareholders also approved a resolution stating that on the date immediately following the last vesting date of the Initial Grant, and on the anniversary of such date every year thereafter, each director then in office, other than directors who also are employees of the Company, shall be entitled to receive an annual grant of options to purchase 10,000 ordinary shares (the “Annual Grant”), with an exercise price per ordinary share equal to the closing price of the ordinary shares on the applicable grant date. The chairman, if still in duty, shall be entitled to receive the Annual Grant commencing in September 2007. The shareholders determined that all options will expire on the ten-year anniversary of the grant date and that options in the Initial Grant and the Annual Grant will vest in four equal annual installments starting on the first anniversary of the grant date.

7) At the annual meeting of the Company’s shareholders held at October 2005, the shareholders approved the grant to Kenneth Levy, the Chairman of the Board, of options to purchase ordinary shares of the Company in the same amount and on substantially the same terms as were granted to other members of the Board of Directors pursuant to the resolutions adopted at the special shareholders’ meeting on September 8, 2004. Those amounts and terms are: 50,000 ordinary shares (the “Initial grant”) granted as of the date of the meeting approval, vesting in four equal installments over four years; additional options to purchase 10,000 ordinary shares to be granted for each year of service on the Board following the end of the vesting of the Initial Grant; in each case the exercise price will be the market price on the grant date.

8) The Company’s board of directors authorized an automatic increase, to occur on November 29 of each year until November 30, 2013, of the aggregate pool of stock available for grant under the Company’s stock option plans. This yearly increase may be in an amount up to three percent of the then outstanding share capital. On November 29, 2005, the number of such shares available in the option pool increased by 587,435 shares.

9) At a meeting of the Company’s board of directors held at December 14, 2005, the board of directors approved the Company’s plan to repurchase from the Company’s employees options with exercise price above $9 for $0.15 per option. The board of directors also resolved to create a new plan that is substantially similar to the Company’s current Employee Stock Option Plan to allow the grant of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units. Following this resolution the Company purchased from the Company’s employees total of 666,753 options.

NOTE 6 - SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY (continued)

11) The weighted average exercise price per share of the options granted in the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 was $8.99, $12.08 and $3.33 and, respectively. In respect of these grants, the Company recorded $14,795,000 of deferred stock compensation, which is to be amortized over the vesting period of the options.

 

F. Options to service providers

In June 2004, the Company issued to a service provider 7,500 options in consideration for services received. Each option can be exercised to purchase one ordinary share of NIS 0.01 par value of the Company, at an exercise price of $11.50. The fair value of these options amounted to approximately $48,000, estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumption: risk-free interest rate of 5%, expected life 5 years, 0% dividend yield and 59% expected volatility.

In January 2005, the Company issued to the same service provider, as aforementioned, 1,000 options in consideration for services received. Each option can be exercised to purchase one ordinary share of NIS 0.01 par value of the Company, at an exercise price of $10.84. The fair value of these options amounted to approximately $5,000, estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumption: risk-free interest rate of 5%, expected life 5 years, 0% dividend yield and 50% expected volatility.

NOTE 7 - TAXES ON INCOME

 

A. Corporate taxation in Israel

1) Measurement of results for tax purposes under the Income Tax (Inflationary Adjustments) Law, 1985 (hereinafter—the Inflationary Adjustments Law)

Under the Inflationary Adjustments Law, results for tax purposes are measured in real terms, in accordance with the changes in the Israeli CPI. The Company is taxed under this law.

As explained in Note 1B, the financial statements are measured in dollars. The difference between the change in the Israeli CPI and the exchange rate of the dollar relative to the Israeli currency, both on an annual and cumulative basis, cause differences between taxable results and results reflected in these financial statements.

Paragraph 9(f) of FAS 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, prohibits the recognition of deferred tax liabilities or assets that arise from differences between book base and tax base of assets and liabilities that are remeasured from the local currency into the functional currency using historical exchange rates and that result from changes in exchange rates or indexing for tax purposes. Consequently, the abovementioned differences were not reflected in the computation of deferred tax assets and liabilities.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 7 - TAXES ON INCOME (continued):

 

2) Tax rates

The income of the Company and its Israeli subsidiary (other than income from “approved enterprises”, see c. below) is taxed at the regular rate. Through December 31, 2003, the corporate tax was 36%. In July 2004, Amendment No. 140 to the Income Tax Ordinance was enacted. One of the provisions of this amendment is that the corporate tax rate is to be gradually reduced from 36% to 30%. In August 2005, a further amendment (No. 147) was published, which makes a further revision to the corporate tax rates prescribed by Amendment No. 140. As a result of the aforementioned amendments, the corporate tax rates for 2004 and thereafter are as follows: 2004 - 35%, 2005 - 34%, 2006 - 31%, 2007 - 29%, 2008 - 27%, 2009 - 26% and for 2010 and thereafter - 25%.

The abovementioned changes in corporate tax rates will have no material effect of the balances of deferred tax assets and liabilities of the Company.

Capital gains (other than the real capital gain on the sale of marketable securities - which is subject to tax at the regular rates) are taxed at a reduced rate of 25% on the capital gains derived after January 1, 2003, and at the regular corporate tax rates on the gains derived through the aforementioned date.

 

B. Tax benefits under the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959 (the “law”)

Under the law, by virtue of the “approved enterprise” status granted to certain production facilities, the Company is entitled to various tax benefits, as follows:

1) Reduced tax rates

In respect of income derived from its approved enterprise, the Company is entitled to reduced tax rates during a period of seven years from the year in which the enterprise first earns taxable income, but not later than 2010. Since the Company has not yet derived taxable income, the period of benefits in respect of the approved enterprise of the Company has not yet commenced. Income derived from the approved enterprise is tax exempt during the first two years of the seven-year tax benefit period as above and is subject to a reduced tax rate during the remaining five years of benefits. In the event of distribution of cash dividends from income, which was tax exempt as above, the Company would have to pay the 25% tax in respect of the amount distributed. The Company has decided to permanently reinvest the amount of such tax exempt income, and not distribute it as dividends.

2) Accelerated depreciation

The Company is entitled to claim accelerated depreciation in respect of equipment used by the approved enterprise during the first five tax years of the operation of these assets.

3) Conditions for entitlement to the benefits

The entitlement to the above benefits is conditioned upon the Company’s fulfillment of the conditions stipulated by the law, the regulations published hereunder and the certificates of approval for the specific investments in the approved enterprise.

NOTE 7 - TAXES ON INCOME (continued):

In the event the Company fails to comply with these conditions, the benefits may be cancelled and the Company may be required to refund the amount of the benefits, in whole or in part, with the addition of linkage differences to the Israeli consumer price index (“CPI”) and interest.

 

C. Tax benefits under the Law for the Encouragement of Industry (Taxes), 1969

The Company is an “industrial Company” as defined by this law and as such is entitled to certain tax benefits, consisting mainly of accelerated depreciation as prescribed by regulations published under the Inflationary Adjustments Law, the right to claim public issuance expenses as a deduction for tax purposes and amortization of patents and certain other intangible property rights.

2) The Company recognizes an impairment charge when the decline in the fair values of these investments below their cost basis is deemed to be other-than-temporary. The Company considers various factors in determining whether to recognize an impairment charge, including the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been below the cost basis, the current financial condition of the investee and the Company’s intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value. As the contractual cash flows of these investments are either guaranteed by the U.S government or agency of the U.S government or were issued by highly rated corporations, base on the nature of the investments, management concluded that such unrealized losses were not other than temporary as of December 31, 2005.
