FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
Except for the historical information contained in this Annual Report, the statements contained in this Annual Report are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended, and other federal securities laws with respect to our business, financial condition and results of operations.  Such forward-looking statements reflect our current view with respect to future events and financial results.

 
 

 

We urge you to consider that statements which use the terms “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “plan,” “intend,” “estimate” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.  We remind readers that forward-looking statements are merely predictions and therefore inherently subject to uncertainties and other factors and involve known and unknown risks that could cause the actual results, performance, levels of activity, or our achievements, or industry results, to be materially different from any future results, performance, levels of activity, or our achievements, or industry results, expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements appear in Item 4 – “Information on the Company” and Item 5 – “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects,” as well as elsewhere in this Annual Report. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof.  Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect new information, future events or circumstances, or otherwise after the date hereof.  We have attempted to identify significant uncertainties and other factors affecting forward-looking statements in the Risk Factors section that appears below.
 
RISK FACTORS
 
You should carefully consider the following risk factors before you decide to buy our Ordinary Shares. You should also consider the other information in this report. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, operating results or cash flows could be materially adversely affected. This could cause the trading price of our Ordinary Shares to decline, and you could lose part or all of your investment. The risks described below are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks not presently known to us, or that we currently deem immaterial, may also impair our business operations.
 
Business Risks
 
If the market does not continue to respond favorably to our current Internet security solutions, including our anti-spam, Zero-Hour antivirus, Mail Reputation, Command Antivirus and  Uniform Resource Locator or URL filtering solutions, or our future solutions do not gain acceptance, we will fail to generate sufficient revenues.
 
Our success depends on the continued acceptance and use of our Internet security solutions by current and new business, Original Equipment Manufacturer or OEM, and Service Provider customers. We have been selling our inbound anti-spam products (as a stand-alone product) for over seven years, Zero-Hour™ virus outbreak detection product for approximately six years, our GlobalView™ Mail Reputation perimeter defense solution for approximately five years, our URL filtering solutions for over one year, our outbound spam solution for slightly less than a year and the newly acquired Command Antivirus solution for over half a year.
 
As the markets for messaging, antivirus and Web security products continue to mature and consolidate, we are seeing increasing competitive pressures and demands for even higher quality products at lower prices.   This increasing demand comes at a time when Internet security threats are more varied and intensive, challenging even the top end solutions to keep their performance at an industry acceptable high level of accuracy. If our solutions do not continue to evolve to meet market demand, or newer products on the market prove more effective, our business could fail.  Also, if growth in the markets for these solutions begins to slow, our business will suffer dramatically.
 
If we are unable to successfully integrate the Command Antivirus business unit of Authentium, Inc., there could be a material adverse effect on our business operating results and financial condition.
 
On September 3, 2010, we acquired certain assets comprising the Command Antivirus business unit of Authentium, Inc. (now known as SafeCentral, Inc.). In particular, we:
 
 
·
received assignments to a number of license agreements under which we provide antivirus services to new customers and generate substantial revenues;
 
 
·
are expected to continue to receive certain support services from SafeCentral through the end of 2011; and
 
 
·
hired thirteen new employees and four new contractors formerly employed by Authentium, who are vital for the successful operation of the new antivirus business.
 
While the integration to date has been successful, nevertheless our business will suffer significantly if
 
 
a number of the new customers that we are servicing decide not to renew their agreements or fail to honor the current agreements,

 
2

 
 
 
SafeCentral fails to support this new business before we are able to fully move all facets of the operation in-house,
 
 
a number of the new employees and contractors decide to seek alternative employment, or
 
 
we otherwise fail to integrate the Command Antivirus unit.
 
Recurring unfavorable national and global economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
 
It is not yet clear if the crisis in the financial and credit markets that began in 2008 in the United States, and that led to a global economic slowdown, has passed completely. If the economies of countries in which our customers and potential customers are located continue to be weak or weaken further, our customers may reduce or postpone their spending significantly. This could result in reductions in sales of our services and longer sales cycles, slower adoption of new technologies and increased price competition. In addition, weakness in the end-user market could negatively affect the cash flow of our OEM partners, distributors and resellers who could, in turn, delay paying their obligations to us. This would increase our credit risk exposure and cause delays in our recognition of revenues on future sales to these customers. While our OEM business generally remained stable during 2010, we did see instances of financial weakness with a few non-key OEM partners.   Specific economic trends, such as declines in the demand for PCs, servers, and other computing devices, or weakness in corporate information technology spending, could have a more direct impact on our business. Any of these events would likely harm our business, operating results and financial condition.
 
If global economic and market conditions, or economic conditions in the United States or other key markets do not continue to improve, or revert to a recessionary state, our business, operating results and financial condition may be adversely impacted in a material way.
 
Tighter governmental enforcement of regulations could decrease the distribution of unsolicited bulk (spam) email and malicious software and decrease demand for our solutions, or increase our cost of doing business.
 
The Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act of 2003 (CAN-SPAM Act) established a framework of U.S. administrative, civil, and criminal tools to combat spam. The law establishes both civil and criminal prohibitions to assist in deterring the most offensive forms of spam, including unmarked sexually-oriented messages and emails containing fraudulent headers. Under the law, senders of email are required to honor a request by a consumer not to receive any further unsolicited messages. While past high profile prosecutions of direct marketers seemingly have not had much of a deterrent effect on marketers of unsolicited email, it is not known whether or not future enforcement actions will prove effective.
 
In addition, various state legislatures have enacted laws aimed at regulating the distribution of unsolicited email.
 
These and similar legal measures, both in the United States and worldwide, may have the effect of reducing the amount of unsolicited email and malicious software that is distributed and hence diminish the need for our Internet security solutions. Any such developments would have an adverse impact on our revenues.
 
We depend upon OEM partners, Service Providers and, to a lesser extent, resellers.
 
We expect to continue to be dependent upon OEM partners, Service Providers and resellers for a significant portion of our revenues, which will be derived from sales of our messaging, antivirus and Web security solutions. Our operating results and financial condition may be materially adversely affected if:
 
 
• 
Anticipated orders or payments from these customers fail to materialize;
 
 
• 
Some of the key customers cease the promotion of our business or begin to promote additional solutions in a layered approach to email defense, anti-malware and URL filtering management; or
 
 
• 
Some of our key customers’ businesses fail as a result of a deepening global economic crisis.
 
Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate, which could adversely affect the value of your investment.
 
A number of factors, many of which are enumerated in this “Risk Factors” section, are likely to cause fluctuations in our operating results or cause our share price to decline. These factors include:

 
3

 
 
 
Our ability to successfully market our messaging, antivirus and Web security solutions in new markets, both domestic and international;
 
 
Our ability to successfully develop and market new, modified or upgraded solutions, as may be needed;
 
 
The continued acceptance of our solutions by our current customer base;
 
 
Our ability to expand our workforce with qualified personnel, as may be needed;
 
 
Unanticipated bugs or other problems affecting the delivery of our solutions to customers;
 
 
The success of our customers’ sales efforts to their customer base;
 
 
The solvency of our customers and their ability to allocate sufficient resources towards the marketing of our solutions;
 
 
Our customers’ ability to effectively integrate our solutions into their product offerings;
 
 
The substantial decrease in information technology spending;
 
 
The pricing of our solutions;
 
 
Our ability to timely collect fees owed by our customers;
 
 
A renewed global slowdown;
 
 
Sudden, dramatic fluctuations in exchange rates of currencies covering the fees we collect from our foreign customers versus the currencies utilized in our business (namely, the New Israeli Shekel, U.S. Dollar and EURO);
 
 
Our ability to add cost-effective space and equipment to our current detection centers, or Detection Centers, in a timely and effective manner to match the rate of growth in our business, plus our ability to build new, cost-effective detection centers as worldwide demand for our products may require; and
 
 
The effectiveness of our end user support, whether provided by our customers or directly by Commtouch.
 
Our products and services have changed many times since we commenced operations in 1991.  For example, in September 2010, we acquired the Command Antivirus unit of Authentium, and have been integrating this new business into our existing business. Future changes in our product offerings may require that we adjust our business processes and workforce, which can cause fluctuations in our results from operations.
 
We have many established competitors who are offering a multitude of solutions to the problems of spam/virus distribution and Web-related security threats.
 
The market for Internet security products remains intensely competitive and is subject to rapid changes in technology.  We expect both product and pricing competitive pressures to increase in the future. Some of our competitors have longer operating histories, greater brand recognition, larger technical staffs and/or greater financial, technical and marketing resources, and other advantages compared to us. This competition could have a negative impact on our business and financial results.  Additional details are provided in Item 4. Information on the Company.
 
Our ability to continue to increase our revenues will depend on our ability to successfully execute our sales and business development plan.
 
The complexity of the underlying technological base of messaging, antivirus and Web security solutions, and the current landscape of the markets, require highly trained sales and business development personnel to educate prospective resellers, OEM and service provider partners and customers regarding the use and benefits of our solutions. It may take time for our current and future employees to convey to potential, as well as current, OEM/service provider partners and resellers how to most effectively market and utilize our solutions. As a result, our sales and business development personnel may not be able to compete successfully against larger, more heavily financed and more experienced sales and business development departments of our competitors.

The loss of our key employees would adversely affect our ability to manage our business, therefore causing our operating results to suffer and the value of your investment to decline.
 
Our success depends on the skills, experience and performance of our senior management and other key personnel. The loss of the services of any of our senior management or other key personnel could materially and adversely affect our business. The loss of our software developers or senior operations personnel may also adversely affect the continued development and support of our messaging, antivirus and Web security solutions, thereby causing our operating results to suffer and the value of your investment to decline.
 
We do not have employment agreements inclusive of set periods of employment with any of our key personnel. We cannot prevent them from leaving at any time. We do not maintain key-person life insurance policies, listing us as a beneficiary, on any of our employees.
 
Our business and operating results could suffer if we do not successfully address potential risks inherent in doing business overseas.
 
As of December 31, 2010, we had sales offices in Israel and the United States. We also are marketing our messaging, antivirus and Web security solutions in international markets by utilizing appropriate distribution channels. However, we may not be able to compete effectively in international markets due to various risks inherent in conducting business internationally, such as:
 
 
Differing technology standards;
 
 
Inability of distribution channels to successfully market our solutions;
 
 
Export restrictions;
 
 
Difficulties in collecting accounts receivable and longer collection periods;
 
 
Unexpected changes in regulatory requirements;
 
 
Political and economic instability;
 
 
Potentially adverse tax consequences; and
 
 
Limited enforcement mechanisms for protecting intellectual property rights.
 
Any of these factors could adversely affect the Company’s prospective international sales and, consequently, business and operating results.
 
Our Web security and antivirus solutions may be adversely affected if we are not able to receive sufficient components from third party suppliers.
 
Our Web security and antivirus solutions rely in part on certain components supplied by third parties (separate third parties per each solution) pursuant to contractual relationships.  If these third parties breach their agreements with us, we may have difficulty in securing alternative sources for these components in a timely manner and thus our Web security and antivirus solutions may not perform at the level we expect.  If this were to occur, the effectiveness of these solutions would drop, they would become less attractive to customers/potential customers and anticipated revenues could decline.
 
Technology Risks
 
We have recently entered into a new market with our Command Antivirus solution, and may not fully appreciate the needs of customers and risks inherent in this new market
 
Our acquisition of the Command Antivirus business from Authentium in September 2010 represents our first efforts at expansion into the antivirus market.  While we hired the core team of ex-Authentium employees and contractors who possess the expertise to manage the Command Antivirus business, nevertheless we cannot be totally certain that we have anticipated all possible issues that might arise with our “in the cloud” technology infrastructure and this new offering.  Should unanticipated issues arise, sales of our antivirus solution likely will slow and our business will suffer.

 
5

 

For example, because of the complexity of the new antivirus products, we understand that in the past, errors were found in versions of these products that were not detected before first introduced, or appeared in new versions or enhancements, and we may find such errors in the future.  Failures, errors or defects in our antivirus products could result in security breaches or compliance violations for our customers, disruption or damage to their networks or other negative consequences and could result in negative publicity, damage to our reputation, declining sales, increased expenses and customer relation issues. Such failures could also result in product liability damage claims against us by our customers, even though our agreements with our customers typically contain provisions designed to limit our exposure to potential product liability claims.

The antivirus products have in the past, and may at times in the future, falsely detect viruses or computer threats that do not actually exist. These false alarms, while typical in the security industry, would likely impair the perceived reliability of our products and may therefore adversely impact market acceptance of our antivirus products.
 
We may not have the resources or skills required to adapt to the changing technological requirements and shifting preferences of our customers and their users.
 
The messaging, antivirus and Web security industries are characterized by difficult technological challenges, sophisticated distributors of Internet security threats, multiple-variant viruses, unique phishing scams and constantly evolving malevolent software distribution practices and targets that could render our solutions and proprietary technology ineffective. Our success depends, in part, on our ability to continually enhance our existing messaging, antivirus and Web security solutions and to develop new solutions, functions and technology that address the potential needs of prospective and current customers and their users. The development of proprietary technology and necessary enhancements entails significant technical and business risks and requires substantial expenditures and lead-time. We may not be able to keep pace with the latest technological developments. We may not be able to use new technologies effectively or adapt to OEM, customer or end user requirements or emerging industry standards. Also, we must be able to act more quickly than our competition, and may not be able to do so.
 
Our solutions may be adversely affected by defects or denial of service attacks, which could cause our OEM partners, customers or end users to stop using our solutions.
 
Our messaging, antivirus and Web security solutions are based in part upon new and complex software and highly advanced computer systems. Complex software and computer systems can contain defects, particularly when first introduced or when new versions are released, and are possible targets for denial of service attacks instigated by “hackers”. Although we conduct extensive testing and implement Internet security processes, we may not discover defects to or vulnerabilities in our software or systems that affect our new or current solutions or enhancements until after they are delivered. Although we have not experienced any material defects or vulnerabilities to date in our messaging, antivirus and Web security offerings, it is possible that, despite testing by us, defects or vulnerabilities may exist in the solutions we provide. These defects or vulnerabilities could cause or lead to interruptions for customers of our solutions, resulting in damage to our reputation, legal risks, loss of revenue, delays in market acceptance and diversion of our development resources, any of which could cause our business to suffer.
 
Our messaging, antivirus and Web security solutions may be adversely affected if we are not able to receive a sufficient sampling of Internet traffic or our Detection Centers were to become unavailable.
 
Our messaging, antivirus and Web security solutions are dependent, in part, on the ability of our Detection Centers to analyze, in an automated fashion, live feeds of Internet and Web related traffic received through our services to customers and other contractual arrangements.  If we were to suffer an unanticipated, substantial decrease in such traffic or our multiple Detection Centers become unavailable for any significant period, the effectiveness of our technologies would drop, our product offerings would become less attractive to customers/potential customers and revenues could decline.
 
Our Web security and antivirus solutions may be adversely affected if we are not able to receive sufficient support from third party suppliers.
 
Our Web security and antivirus solutions rely in part on third parties, pursuant to agreements, to supply certain information.  If these third parties breach their agreements with us, we may have difficulty in securing alternative sources for this information in a timely manner, and thus these solutions may not perform at the level we expect.  If this were to occur, these solutions would become less attractive to customers/potential customers and revenues could decline.

Investment Risks
 
If we will be in need of additional capital, we may not be able to secure additional funds on acceptable terms, or at all, and the Company’s business could suffer.
 
We have invested heavily in technology development and an acquisition. We expect to continue to spend financial and other resources on developing, acquiring and introducing new offerings and maintaining our corporate organizations and strategic relationships. We also expect to invest resources in research and development projects to further enhance our solutions.
 
Notwithstanding the Company’s current, solid financial condition, should additional funding become necessary we may be unable to secure capital on acceptable terms, or at all, due to, among other things, difficulties in the capital and credit markets.  In such case, the Company’s business could suffer.
 
Our directors, executive officers and principal shareholders will be able to exert significant influence over matters requiring shareholder approval and could delay or prevent a change of control.
 
Our directors and affiliates of our directors, our executive officers and our shareholders who currently individually beneficially own over five percent of the voting power in the Company (together known as “affiliated entities”), beneficially own, in the aggregate, approximately 37.8% of our outstanding Ordinary Shares as of April 30, 2011. Included in the calculation of voting power are options exercisable by the affiliated entities within 60 days thereof (with some having an exercise price greater than the market price of our shares as of April 30, 2011). If they vote together (especially if they were to exercise all vested options into shares entitled to voting rights in the Company), these shareholders will be able to exercise significant influence over all matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership could also delay or prevent a change in control of Commtouch. In addition, conflicts of interest may arise as a consequence of the significant shareholders control relationship with us, including:
 
 
Conflicts between significant shareholders, and our other shareholders whose interests may differ with respect to, among other things, our strategic direction or significant corporate transactions;
 
 
Conflicts related to corporate opportunities that could be pursued by us, on the one hand, or by these shareholders, on the other hand; or
 
 
Conflicts related to existing or new contractual relationships between us, on the one hand, and these shareholders, on the other hand.
 
Our Ordinary Shares are traded on more than one market and this may result in price variations.
 
Our Ordinary Shares are traded primarily on the NASDAQ Capital Market and also on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange.  Trading in our Ordinary Shares on these markets is made in different currencies (U.S. dollars on the NASDAQ Capital Market, and New Israeli Shekels, or NIS, on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange), and at different times (resulting from different time zones, different trading days and different public holidays in the United States and Israel).  Consequently, the trading prices of our Ordinary Shares on these two markets often differ.  Any decrease in the trading price of our Ordinary Shares on one of these markets could cause a decrease in the trading price of our Ordinary Shares on the other market.

Intellectual Property Risks
 
If we fail to adequately protect our intellectual property rights or face a claim of intellectual property infringement by a third party, we could lose our intellectual property rights or be liable for significant damages.
 
We regard our patented and patent pending technology, copyrights, service marks, trademarks, trade secrets and similar intellectual property as critical to our success, and rely on patent, trademark and copyright law, trade secret protection and confidentiality or license agreements with our employees and customers to protect our proprietary rights.
 
During 2004, we purchased a United States patent, U.S. Patent No. 6,330,590. During 2005, we filed in the United States an anti-spam related patent application, claiming priority for a prior period based on the filing of U.S. Provisional Patent Application. This application remains outstanding. During 2006, we filed in the United States a patent application relating to the prevention of spam in streaming systems or, in other words, unwanted conversational media sessions (i.e. voice and video related).  This provisional application was converted to a formal patent application and, effective December 7, 2010, the United States Patent and Trademark Office split our application into three pending applications and issued us a new patent – United States Patent No. 7,849,186.  During 2008, we filed a U.S. Provisional Patent Application for anti-malware data center aggregate, the subject of which remains unpublished and thus confidential. During 2009, it too converted into a formal patent application.  We may seek to patent certain additional software or other technology in the future. Any such patent applications might not result in patents issued within the scope of the claims we seek, or at all.
 
Despite our precautions, unauthorized third parties may copy certain portions of our technology, reverse engineer or obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary or otherwise infringe or misappropriate our patent or our patent pending technology, trade secrets, copyrights, trademarks and similar proprietary rights.  In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. Thus, our means of protecting our proprietary rights in the United States or abroad, as well as our financial resources, may not be adequate, and competitors may independently develop similar technology.
 
We cannot be certain that our Internet security solutions do not infringe issued patents in certain parts of the world. Therefore, other parties, whether in the United States or elsewhere, may assert infringement claims against us. We may also be subject to legal proceedings and claims from time to time in the ordinary course of our business, including claims of alleged infringement of copyrights, trademarks and other intellectual property rights of third parties by ourselves and our customers. Our customer agreements typically include indemnity provisions, so we may be obligated to defend against third party intellectual property rights infringement claims on behalf of our customers.   Such claims, even if not meritorious, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources.  We may not have the proper resources in order to adequately defend against such claims.
 
Risks Relating to Operations in Israel
 
We have important facilities and resources located in Israel, which has historically experienced military and political unrest.
 
We are incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel. Our principal research and development facilities are located in Israel. Although the majority of our past sales were made to customers outside Israel, we are nonetheless directly influenced 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 significantly harm our business, operating results and financial condition.
 
Since the State of Israel was established in 1948, a number of armed conflicts have occurred between Israel and its Arab neighbors.  Since October 2000, terrorist violence in Israel has increased significantly.  There has been ongoing violence among Israel, Hamas, the Palestinian Authority and other groups, as well as extensive hostilities in December 2008 and January 2009 along Israel's border with the Gaza Strip, which resulted in missiles being fired from the Gaza Strip into Southern Israel.   There were also extensive hostilities along Israel's northern border with Lebanon in the summer of 2006. Ongoing and revived hostilities or other Israeli political or economic factors could harm our operations and cause our revenues to decrease.  With the recent uprisings in Egypt (which borders southern Israel) and resignation of its longtime president, Hosni Mubarak, it is uncertain what type of government will be formed and whether that government will continue to respect the Israel-Egypt peace treaty signed in 1979. Other civilian protests and uprisings continue to sprout in various Middle Eastern countries and North Africa, including Syria, which borders Israel to the Northeast, and (to a lesser degree) in Jordan, which borders Israel to the East. This instability may lead to deterioration of the political and trade relationships that exist between the State of Israel and certain of these countries.  In addition, this instability may affect the global economy and marketplace, including as a result of changes in oil and gas prices.

In addition, Israel and some companies doing business with Israel have been the subject of an economic boycott by Arab countries and their close allies since Israel’s establishment. These restrictive laws and policies may have an adverse impact on our operating results, financial condition and expansion of our business.
 
Our results of operations may be negatively affected by the obligation of key personnel to perform military service.
 
Certain of our officers and employees are currently obligated to perform annual reserve duty in the Israel Defense Forces and are subject to being called for active military duty at any time in the event of a national emergency, such as in connection with the hostilities along Israel's border with the Gaza Strip in December 2008 and January 2009. Although Commtouch has operated effectively under these requirements since its inception, we cannot predict the effect of these obligations on Commtouch in the future. Our operations could be disrupted by the absence for a significant period of one or more of our officers or key employees due to military service. Any disruption in our operations would harm our business.
 
Because a substantial portion of our revenues historically have been generated in U.S. dollars and the Euro, and a portion of our expenses have been incurred in New Israeli Shekels, our results of operations may be adversely affected by currency fluctuations.
 
We have generated a substantial portion of our revenues in U.S. dollars and Euro, and incurred a portion of our expenses, principally salaries and related personnel expenses in Israel, in New Israeli Shekels, or NIS. We anticipate that a significant portion of our expenses will continue to be denominated in Israeli shekels.  As a result, we are exposed to risk to the extent that the value of the U.S. dollar decreases against the NIS and the Euro.  In that event, the U.S. dollar cost of our operations will increase and our U.S. dollar-measured results of operations will be adversely affected, as occurred during a portion of 2011, when the NIS and the Euro appreciated against the U.S. dollar, which resulted in a significant increase in the U.S. dollar cost of our operational expenses and revenues. We cannot predict the trend for future years. Our operations also could be adversely affected if we are unable to guard against currency fluctuations in the future. To date, we have not engaged in any significant hedging transactions.  In the future, we may enter into currency hedging transactions to decrease the risk of financial exposure from fluctuations in the exchange rate of the dollar against the NIS. Foreign currency fluctuations, and our attempts to mitigate the risks caused by such fluctuations, could have a material and adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
 
The government programs and benefits which we previously received require us to meet several conditions and may be terminated or reduced in the future.
 
Prior to 1998, we received grants from the Government of Israel, through the OCS, for the financing of a significant portion of our research and development expenditures in Israel. These grants totaled $0.6 million.  In 2001, we received $0.6 million and in 2002 we received $0.2 million. We did not submit an application for funding during the period 2004 – 2008.  In 2009 and 2010, our applications for funding were approved in the amounts of approximately $0.5 million and $0.6 million respectively. We have not submitted an application during the early part of 2011 and we do not expect to receive any grants during 2011.
 
In order to meet specified conditions in connection with previous grants and programs of the OCS, we have made representations to the Israel government about our Israeli operations.  From time to time the conduct of our Israeli operations has deviated from our forecasts.  If we fail to meet the conditions of the grants, including the maintenance of a material presence in Israel, or if there is any material deviation from the representations made by us to the Israeli government, we could be required to refund the grants previously received (together with an adjustment based on the Israeli consumer price index and an interest factor) and would likely be ineligible to receive OCS grants in the future.
 
Under the Law for the Encouragement of Industrial Research and Development, 5744-1984 and the related regulations, the discretionary approval of an OCS committee is required for any transfer of technology developed with OCS funding or for the transfer of manufacturing rights outside of Israel.  OCS approval is not required for the export of any products resulting from the research and development. There is no assurance that we will receive the required approvals for any proposed future transfer.  Such approvals, if granted, may be subject to the following additional restrictions:

 
9

 
 
 
·
a requirement to pay the OCS a portion of the consideration we receive upon any sale of such technology to an entity that is not Israeli.  The scope of the support received, the royalties that were paid by us, the amount of time that elapsed between the date on which the know-how was transferred and the date on which the grants were received, as well as the sale price, will be taken into account in order to calculate the amount of the payment; and
 
 
·
the transfer of manufacturing rights could be conditioned upon an increase in the royalty rate and payment of increased aggregate royalties (up to 300% of the amount of the grant plus interest, depending on the percentage of the manufacturing that is foreign).
 
These restrictions may impair our ability to sell certain of our older technology assets outside of Israel.  The restrictions will continue to apply even after we repay the full amount of royalties payable for the grants.
 
You may have difficulties enforcing a U.S. judgment against us and our executive officers and directors or asserting U.S. securities laws claims in Israel.

We are organized under the laws of Israel, and we maintain significant operations in Israel. In addition, the majority of our directors and executive officers are not residents of the United States and most of their assets and our assets are located outside the United States.  Service of process upon our non-U.S. resident directors or executive officers and enforcement of judgments obtained in the United States against us and our directors and executive officers may be difficult to obtain within the United States.  It may be difficult to assert U.S. securities law claims in original actions instituted in Israel.  Israeli courts may refuse to hear a claim based on a violation of U.S. securities laws because Israel is not the most appropriate forum in which to bring such a claim.  In addition, even if an Israeli court agrees to hear a claim, it may determine that Israeli law and not U.S. law is applicable to the claim.  If U.S. law is found to be applicable, the substance of the applicable U.S. law must be proved as a fact, which can be a time-consuming and costly process.  Certain matters of procedure will also be governed by Israeli law.  Furthermore, there is little binding case law in Israel addressing these matters.

Israeli courts might not enforce judgments rendered outside Israel which may make it difficult to collect on judgments rendered against us. Subject to certain time limitations, an Israeli court may declare a foreign civil judgment enforceable only if it finds that (a) the judgment was rendered by a court which was, according to the laws of the state of the court, competent to render the judgment; (b) the judgment may no longer be appealed; (c) the obligation imposed by the judgment is enforceable according to the rules relating to the enforceability of judgments in Israel and the substance of the judgment is not contrary to public policy; and (d) the judgment is executory in the state in which it was given.

Even if these conditions are satisfied, an Israeli court will not enforce a foreign judgment if it was given in a state whose laws do not provide for the enforcement of judgments of Israeli courts (subject to exceptional cases) or if its enforcement is likely to prejudice the sovereignty or security of the State of Israel.  An Israeli court also will not declare a foreign judgment enforceable if (i) the judgment was obtained by fraud; (ii) there is a finding of lack of due process; (iii) the judgment was rendered by a court not competent to render it according to the laws of private international law in Israel; (iv) the judgment is at variance with another judgment that was given in the same matter between the same parties and that is still valid; or (v) at the time the action was brought in the foreign court, a suit in the same matter and between the same parties was pending before a court or tribunal in Israel.

Provisions of Israeli law may delay, prevent or make difficult an acquisition of Commtouch, which could prevent a change of control and therefore depress the price of our shares.
 
Israeli corporate law regulates mergers and acquisitions of shares through tender offers, requires special approvals for transactions involving significant shareholders and regulates other matters that may be relevant to these types of transactions. Furthermore, Israeli tax law treats stock-for-stock acquisitions between an Israeli company and a foreign company less favorably than does U.S. tax law. For example, Israeli tax law may subject a shareholder who exchanges his Ordinary Shares for shares in a foreign corporation to immediate taxation or to taxation before his investment in the foreign corporation becomes liquid. These provisions may adversely affect the price of our shares.

As a foreign private issuer whose shares are listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market, we may follow certain home country corporate governance practices instead of certain NASDAQ requirements.

As a foreign private issuer whose shares are listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market, we are permitted to follow certain home country corporate governance practices instead of certain requirements of the NASDAQ Listing Rules.

Among other things, we may follow home country practice with regard to composition of the board of directors and quorum at shareholders' meetings.  In addition, we may follow our home country law, instead of the NASDAQ Listing Rules, which require that we obtain shareholder approval for certain dilutive events, such as for the establishment or amendment of certain equity based compensation plans, an issuance that will result in a change of control of the Company, certain transactions other than a public offering involving issuances of a 20% or more interest in the Company and certain acquisitions of the stock or assets of another company.

A foreign private issuer that elects to follow a home country practice instead of NASDAQ requirements, must submit to NASDAQ in advance a written statement from an independent counsel in such issuer's home country certifying that the issuer's practices are not prohibited by the home country's laws.  In addition, a foreign private issuer must disclose in its annual reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or on its website each such requirement that it does not follow and describe the home country practice followed by the issuer instead of any such requirement (see Item 16G. Corporate Governance for a list of those home country practices followed by us).  Accordingly, our shareholders may not be afforded the same protection as provided under NASDAQ's corporate governance rules.
 
Item 4. Information on the Company.
 
Overview
 
The legal name of the Company is Commtouch Software Ltd., and its principal executive offices are located at 4A Hazoran Street, Poleg Industrial Park, P.O.Box 8511, Netanya 42504, Israel, where our telephone number is 011–972–9–863–6888. The Company was incorporated as a private company under the laws of the State of Israel on February 10, 1991 and its legal form is a company limited by shares. Commtouch became a public company on July 15, 1999. Its Articles of Association are on file in Israel with the office of the Israeli Registrar of Companies and available for public inspection at that office. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Commtouch Inc., has its principal office located at 292 Gibraltar Drive, Suite 107, Sunnyvale, California 94089, where our telephone number is (650) 864–2000, as well as another office located at 7121 Fairway Dr., St. 104, Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33418, tel: 561 575-3200.
 
We are a provider of messaging, antivirus and Web security solutions to a wide array of customers and OEM and service provider distribution partners, including real-time Anti-Spam, Outbound Spam Protection for Service Providers, Zero-Hour virus outbreak protection and GlobalView Mail Reputation services, as well as Command Antivirus and GlobalView URL Filtering services. The Company offers its solutions to network and security vendors offering content security gateways, unified threat management, or “UTM”, solutions, network routers and appliances, antivirus solutions and to service providers such as Software-as-a-Service  or “SaaS” vendors, Web hosting providers and Internet Service Providers.  Our multiple services are intended to provide Internet security for various users of the Internet against the harmful effects of spam, malevolent software or “malware”, unwelcome websites, etc.
 
Additional Detail on Our Offerings
 
Our above-described services are typically accessed by our OEM and service provider customers through the integration of a Software Development Kit or “SDK” which, upon integration, is then able to communicate with our remote, worldwide Detection Centers in order to provide our customers and their users with the most up to date protection against the latest Internet threats that they are facing.
 
At the core of our messaging security offerings is our proprietary Recurrent Pattern Detection (RPD)™ technology which, in general terms, analyzes messages associated with mass email outbreaks and directs the blocking of such emails, without the need to analyze individual messages.

 
11

 
 
At the core of our Web security solutions is its “in the cloud” infrastructure, which analyzes various feeds from worldwide sources as well as data from our RPD pertaining to URLs, and provides a classification of the URLs based on a set of categories.
 
At the core of our Command Antivirus solutions is our proprietary detection and remediation technology and unique engine design based on a combination of heuristics, emulation and several types of signatures, as well as an “in the cloud” infrastructure, which allows for a high degree of flexibility for our OEM customers.
 
In February 2011, we announced the availability of all three of our principal service offerings – messaging, antivirus and Web security – in one, unified SDK.  The unified SDK can be integrated into the products of security and networking vendors on an OEM basis, as well as into service providers’ infrastructure. Typical solutions that would benefit from the unified engine are software or hardware solutions or services that combine multiple security technologies, such as UTM, secure content filtering gateways and SaaS security solutions. The three principal service offerings – messaging, antivirus and Web security – are still available also in non-unified, individual SDKs for our OEM and service provider customers.

For our Anti-Spam, Zero-Hour virus outbreak protection and GlobalView Mail Reputation services, we have developed several technologies enabling easier integration to common mail servers and third party technologies used by hosting and service providers. These technologies serve as connectors and or plug-ins to existing infrastructure allowing elimination of most of the development work needed for integration for such platforms and letting system administrators configure their systems to use our services.

We also offer the following services typically through reseller channels:

 
·
An enterprise anti-spam and Zero-Hour virus outbreak detection solution, which allows the reseller’s customer to download an Enterprise Gateway, enabling the subject Commtouch services to be provided in real time by our Detection Center(s).  Through the Enterprise Gateway, messages are filtered at the customer organization’s entry point, before being distributed to recipients, with added user-level controls and a top level of secure spam and virus detection services from the Detection Center, all allowing for real-time reaction to worldwide attacks.
 
·
Command Anti-Malware service known as  “CSAM”, which offer world-class anti-malware protection for consumers and small businesses, as well as enterprises with hundreds of managed endpoints. 

2010 Acquisition of Command Antivirus
 
On September 3, 2010, Commtouch Inc. acquired certain assets comprising the Command Antivirus business unit of Authentium, Inc. (now known as SafeCentral, Inc.), including:
 
 
·
the antivirus products known as “AV SDK” and “CSAM”, which are aimed at protecting customers against viruses, spyware, Trojan downloaders and other such Internet related threats;
 
·
certain contracts with OEM customers pursuant to which such customers are authorized to integrate the AV SDK into their solutions and to sell and support such integrated solutions;
 
·
certain contracts with resellers pursuant to which such resellers are authorized to sell the CSAM solutions;
 
·
all such products’ intellectual property (including all interests in the Authentium and Command Software brand names and all associated trademarks, trade names and related property);
 
·
certain furniture, computers and office equipment; and
 
At the closing, we also hired 13 ex-Authentium employees, based in a Florida office, and engaged additional independent contractors providing remote services to the operation.

In consideration for the sale of this division, we paid Authentium the sum of $4.6 million in cash, $920,000 of which was placed in escrow for distribution to Authentium in two installments during 2011, provided those funds are not needed to satisfy certain obligations. Additionally, following the conclusion of the 2011 year and based on achievement of certain revenue milestones, we will pay SafeCentral approximately $3 million in cash, or the “Earnout”, subject to adjustment upward or downward based on the performance level of the purchased OEM contracts. The fair value of the Earnout obligation as of December 31, 2010 is $ 2.8 million.

 
12

 

As a result of this transaction, we are generating additional revenues and are able to sell our newly acquired antivirus services to new and existing customers.
 
Sales and Marketing
 
We utilize third party distribution channels to sell our products.  Generally, our software is provided to OEM and service provider customers, who in turn integrate the software into their product or service offerings for sale or provision of our services to their customers.  We are paid service fees under a variety of fee structures, including fixed fee and fee sharing arrangements.
 
Our enterprise anti-spam and Zero-Hour anti-virus gateway service, as well as CSAM service, are sold through resellers, who pay us pre-negotiated fees after each sale is closed with a reseller’s customer.
 
All Company sales are managed by the Company’s and its U.S. subsidiary’s business development/sales departments, each of which consists of a department head and a relatively small number of business development/sales professionals.  The Company’s marketing efforts are aimed mainly at potential OEM and service provider customers.  The marketing department is concentrated in the Company’s Israel office, though our personnel travel internationally in furtherance of the Company’s marketing goals.
 
Intellectual Property
 
We regard our patented and patent pending anti–spam and anti-virus technology, copyrights, service marks, trademarks, trade secrets and similar intellectual property as critical to our success, and rely on patent, trademark and copyright law, trade secret protection and confidentiality and/or license agreements with our employees, customers, partners and others to protect our proprietary rights. During 2004, we purchased a United States patent, Patent No. 6,330,590, which we believe to be an integral part of our patent strategy aimed at protecting our proprietary anti-spam technology.  During 2005, we filed in the United States an anti-spam related patent application, claiming priority for a prior period based on the filing of U.S. Provisional Patent Application. This application remains outstanding. During 2006, we filed in the United States a patent application relating to the prevention of spam in streaming systems or, in other words, unwanted conversational media sessions (i.e. voice and video related).  This provisional application was converted to a formal patent application and, effective December 7, 2010, the United States Patent and Trademark Office split our application into three pending applications and issued us a new patent – United States Patent No. 7,849,186.  During 2008, we filed a U.S. Provisional Patent Application for anti-malware data center aggregate, the subject of which remains unpublished and thus confidential. During 2009, it too converted into a formal patent application.  We may seek to patent certain additional software or other technology in the future.
 
We are actively maintaining our registered trademark for "COMMTOUCH", which is registered in the U.S., Canada, Israel, European Union and China. With the acquisition of Command Antivirus, we also acquired registered trademarks in “Command Antivirus”, “Command Anti-Malware”, “Command On Demand”, “Command Interceptor”  and “Galileo”, as well as registered service marks in “Authentium” and “Authentium ESP”.  A previous registration of "PRONTO" in Canada is still in force, but we are not maintaining this registration and it will lapse in 2014. Since at least September 2003, we have claimed trademark rights in “RPD” and “Recurrent Pattern Detection”, as applicable to our messaging security solutions.  We have also been claiming trademark rights in Zero-Hour in relation to our virus outbreak detection product (and more recently one of our web security products) and GlobalView in relation to our IP reputation and Web security products, as well as our “in the cloud” network infrastructure.
 
It may be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy or reverse engineer certain portions of our products or obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. There can be no assurance that our means of protecting our proprietary rights in the United States or abroad will be adequate or that competing companies will not independently develop similar technology.
 
Other parties may assert infringement claims against us. We may also be subject to legal proceedings and claims from time to time in the ordinary course of our business, including claims of alleged infringement by us and/or our customers of the trademarks and other intellectual property rights of third parties.  Our customer agreements typically include indemnity provisions, so we may be obligated to defend against third party intellectual property rights infringement claims on behalf of our customers.  Such claims, even if not meritorious, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources.

Government Regulation
 
Laws aimed at curtailing the spread of spam have been adopted by the United States federal government, i.e. CAN-SPAM Act, and some individual U.S. states, with the CAN-SPAM Act superseding some state laws or certain elements thereof.  See also disclosure under “Item 3. Key Information– Risk Factors—Business Risks— “Tighter governmental enforcement of regulations could decrease the distribution of unsolicited bulk (spam) email and malicious software and decrease demand for our solutions, or increase our cost of doing business.”  Despite this legislation, we have not seen abatement in the amount of spam traffic on the Internet; rather, a continuing increase in large numbers that is being distributed in more sophisticated ways.  The continuing growth and development of the spam market may prompt calls for even more stringent Internet user protection laws that would limit the ability of companies and individuals promoting or delivering spam online, and thus potentially negatively affect our business.
 
The propagation of email viruses, whether through email or Web sites, which are aimed at destroying or stealing third party data, is illegal under standard state and federal law outlawing theft, misappropriation, conversion, etc., without the need for special legislation prohibiting such activities on the Internet.  Despite the existence of these laws, sources for Internet viruses continue to spread multi-variant viruses seemingly without much fear of recrimination.  New laws providing for more stringent penalties could be adopted in various jurisdictions, but it is unclear what, if any, affect these would have on the anti-virus industry in general and our Zero-Hour Virus Outbreak Detection and GlobalView URL filtering solutions in particular.
 
Employees
 
As of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, we had 93, 72 and 69 employees, respectively. None of our U.S. employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement. As of December 31, 2010, our employees were categorized as follows:

We believe that our relations with our employees are good.
 
Israeli law and certain provisions of the nationwide collective bargaining agreements between the Histadrut (General Federation of Labor in Israel) and the Coordinating Bureau of Economic Organizations (the Israeli federation of employers’ organizations) apply to Commtouch’s Israeli employees. These provisions principally concern the maximum length of the workday and workweek, minimum wages, contributions to a pension fund, insurance for work–related accidents, procedures for dismissing employees, determination of severance pay and other conditions of employment. Furthermore, pursuant to such provisions, the wages of most of Commtouch’s Israeli employees are subject to cost of living adjustments, based on changes in the Israeli Consumer Price Index. The amounts and frequency of such adjustments are modified from time to time.  Also, all Israeli employees employed for at least a year commencing in 2009 are entitled to the funding of pension benefits by preset monthly contributions of the employee and the employer.  Israeli law generally requires the payment of severance pay upon the retirement or death of an employee or upon termination of employment by the employer or, in certain circumstances, by the employee. We currently fund our ongoing severance obligations by making monthly payments for insurance policies and by an accrual. A general practice in Israel followed by Commtouch, although not legally required, is the contribution of funds on behalf of certain employees to an individual insurance policy known as “Managers’ Insurance.” This policy provides a combination of savings plan, insurance and severance pay benefits to the insured employee. It provides for payments to the employee upon retirement or death and secures a substantial portion of the severance pay, if any, to which the employee is legally entitled upon termination of employment. Each participating employee contributes an amount equal to 5% of such employee’s base salary, and the employer contributes between 13.3% and 15.8% of the employee’s base salary. Full–time employees who are not insured in this way are entitled to a savings account, to which each of the employee and the employer makes a monthly contribution of 5% of the employee’s base salary. We also provide certain Israeli employees with an Education Fund, to which each participating employee contributes an amount equal to 2.5% of such employee’s base salary, and the employer contributes an amount equal to 7.5% of the employee’s base salary, up to a certain maximum base salary set by law.

Competitive Landscape
 
The markets in which Commtouch competes are intensely competitive and rapidly changing. However, we believe there are very few competitors that offers the complete package of anti–spam, anti-virus (both traditional and complementary real-time offerings), IP reputation and Web security protections that Commtouch provides.
 
The principal competitive factors in our industry include price, product functionality, product integration, platform coverage and ability to scale, worldwide sales infrastructure and global technical support. Some of our competitors have greater financial, technical, sales, marketing and other resources than we do, as well as greater name recognition and a larger installed customer base. Additionally, some of these competitors have research and development capabilities that may allow them to develop new or improved products that may compete with product lines we market and distribute, possibly at a lower cost.  Our success will depend on our ability to adapt to these competing forces, to develop more advanced products more rapidly and less expensively than our competitors, and to educate potential customers as to the benefits of using our products rather than developing their own products.

 
15

 
 
In the market for messaging security solutions, there are sophisticated offerings that compete with our solutions. Email defense providers offering forms of software (gateway), multi-functional appliances and managed service solutions and which may be viewed as both competitors and potential customers to Commtouch include Symantec (Brightmail), TrendMicro, Intel (McAfee) and Cisco (IronPort).  Messaging security providers offering solutions on an OEM basis similar to Commtouch’s business model, and which may be viewed as direct competitors, include Cloudmark, Mailshell and Vade Retro.
 
Commtouch’s GlobalView Mail Reputation Service competes in an evolving market. This market includes some established vendors, including TrendMicro, that are offering reputation-based solutions. In some cases, while the product positioning may be new, the underlying solutions may be mature – for example, Spamhaus repositioning its RBL, or “Real-time Block List”, service as a commercial reputation service. In addition, there are several startups competing in this space, such as Karmasphere.
 
The market for real-time virus protection products is also constantly evolving, as those promoting the proliferation of viruses continually seek new distribution techniques. Commtouch’s real-time offering differs from traditional anti-virus solutions (such as our Command Antimalware solution) in that we offer an additional, complementary solution to signature and heuristic-based anti-virus engines. For this reason, our Zero-Hour virus outbreak protection engine has been employed by several anti-virus companies.  If virus distribution methods continue to migrate from email to other formats, there may be less of a demand for our Zero-Hour solution and more of a demand for a Web security product, such as our GlobalView URL filtering solution.
 
In the market for antimalware solutions, there are vendors offering fairly effective solutions using various technologies based on signatures, emulation and heuristics.  The Commtouch solution is not unique, but has an exclusive OEM/service provider focus, and an increasing focus on heuristics and zero day effectiveness. Most companies in this space provide end-user products and in some cases make software development kits available on an OEM basis.  Competitors to Commtouch include McAfee, Sophos, Kaspersky, and open source software such as Clam-AV. 
 
In the market for Web security solutions, there are advanced offerings that compete with our GlobalView URL filtering solution. Web security providers offering forms of software (gateway), multi-functional appliances and managed service solutions and which may be viewed as both competitors and potential customers to Commtouch include Intel (McAfee), WebSense and BlueCoat.  Web security providers offering solutions on an OEM basis similar to Commtouch’s business model, and which may be viewed as direct competitors, include Webroot (BrightCloud), Symantec (RuleSpace) and IBM (ISS/Cobion). 
 
We expect that the markets for Internet security solutions will continue to become more consolidated, with companies increasing their presence in this market or entering ancillary markets by acquiring or forming strategic alliances with our competitors or business partners. Some examples of this in the messaging security field are the acquisitions of IronPort by Cisco, McAfee by Intel, Brightmail by Symantec Corp., both Frontbridge and Sybari Software by Microsoft, and Bizanga by Cloudmark.  Some examples of this in the Web security field are the acquisitions of Fastdata by Cisco, SurfControl by WebSense, CipherTrust by Secure Computing, Secure Computing by McAfee, McAfee by Intel, RuleSpace by Symantec and and BrightCloud by Webtoot .

Overview
 
From 2003 through 2008, the sole focus of our business had been the development and selling, through reseller and OEM distribution channels, of anti-spam, Zero-Hour virus outbreak detection and IP reputation solutions to a wide array of customers. During late 2008, we expanded our focus by way of the release of our first URL filtering solutions for the web security market. On September 3, 2010, Commtouch Inc. acquired certain assets comprising the Command Antivirus business unit of Authentium, Inc.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Operating and Financial Review and Prospects are based upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management believes the critical accounting policies and areas that require the most significant judgments and estimates to be used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are accounting for stock-based compensation, revenue recognition, and commitments and contingencies.
 
Accounting for Stock–Based Compensation:

ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of equity-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods in the Company's consolidated income statements.

The Company recognizes compensation expense for the value of its awards on a straight line basis over the requisite service period of each of the awards, net of estimated forfeitures. Estimated forfeitures are based on actual historical pre-vesting forfeitures. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The option-pricing model requires a number of assumptions, of which the most significant are the expected stock price volatility and the expected option term. Expected volatility was calculated based upon actual historical stock price movements. The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield from U.S. treasury bonds with an equivalent term. The Company has historically not paid dividends and has no foreseeable plans to pay dividends.

The fair value for options granted in 2008, 2009 and 2010 is estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes options pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:
 
Revenue recognition
 
The Company derives revenues from Anti-Spam, Anti-virus, Zero-Hour™ Virus Outbreak Protection, GlobalView Mail Reputation, GlobalView URL filtering Services and Command Antivirus.  The service component of the Company's solutions is considered essential to the functionality of the software components. Furthermore, the software components cannot be effectively used on a standalone basis, or with a third party's service. The customer has no ability to effectively run the software or the Software Development Kit ("SDK") on its own hardware. As the software portion of the product cannot effectively stand on its own, the Company considers each sale as a service arrangement.

Therefore, revenues from such services are recognized over the service term, which generally includes a term period of one to three years.

Revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC 605, "Revenue Recognition", when the earnings process is complete, as evidenced by an agreement between the customer and the Company, when delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, when the fee is fixed or determinable and when collectability is probable.

Deferred revenues include unearned amounts received from customers, but not yet recognized as revenues.
 
Commitments and Contingencies
 
Commtouch periodically records the estimated impacts of various conditions, situations or circumstances involving uncertain outcomes. These events are called “contingencies”, and Commtouch’s accounting for such events is prescribed by ASC 450 “Contingencies” ("ASC 450 "). ASC 450 defines a contingency as “an existing condition, situation, or set of circumstances involving uncertainty as to possible gain or loss to an enterprise that will ultimately be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur.”

 
17

 
 
ASC 450 does not permit the accrual of gain contingencies under any circumstances. For loss contingencies, the loss must be accrued if (1) information is available that indicates it is probable that the loss has been incurred, given the likelihood of the uncertain future events; and (2) that the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.
 
The accrual of a contingency involves considerable judgment on the part of management. Commtouch uses its internal expertise, and outside experts (such as lawyers, tax specialists and engineers), as necessary, to help estimate the probability that a loss has been incurred and the amount (or range) of the loss. The Company has recorded contingencies in situations where management determined it was probable a loss had been incurred and the amount could be reasonably estimated.
 
Goodwill
 
Goodwill represents excess of the costs over the net assets of businesses acquired. Under ASC 350 (formerly SFAS No. 142), "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other",  goodwill acquired in a business combination should not be amortized. ASC 350 requires goodwill to be tested for impairment at least annually or between annual tests in certain circumstances, and written down when impaired, rather than being amortized as previous accounting standards required. Goodwill is allocated to one reporting unit and fair values are determined using market capitalization. In 2010, no impairment losses were identified.
 
Revenue Sources
 
We recognize revenues from anti-spam, antivirus,  Zero-Hour virus outbreak detection, GlobalView Reputation and URL filtering/Web security services. Revenues from these services are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services are provided, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectability is probable. Revenues derived from these services are recognized ratably over the life of the service period.

Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2010 and 2009
 
Revenues. Revenues increased by $3.0 million from $15.2 million in 2009 to $18.2 million in 2010.  The increase is mainly due to a growth in market share, especially in the Asian market, increase in sales derived from our Web security product launched in the fourth quarter of 2008 and sales of the Antivirus product following the purchase of Command Antivirus on September 2010.

 
18

 
 
Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues increased by $0.6 million from $2.3 million in 2009 to $2.9 million in 2010. The increase in 2010 is mainly due to higher facility costs and hosting expenses aimed to serve the increasing number of customers and the Command Antivirus expenses fully consolidated into Commtouch.
 
Research and Development, net. Research and development expenses increased by 15% and amounted to $3.4 million in 2010 compared to $3.0 million in 2009. The increase is mainly due to the related Command Antivirus expenses being fully consolidated into Commtouch from September 2010 and an increase due to recruitment of additional employees to support the company’s efforts to develop new products. However, this increase was offset by an OCS grant in 2010, which reduced our payroll cost by $0.8 million compared to only $0.3 million in 2009.  Research and development expenses include $0.3 million of expenses in connection with equity based compensation.
 
Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses increased by 9% and amounted to $4.6 million compared to $4.2 million in 2009. The increase is mainly due to recruitment of employees, increased sales and marketing activity and the related Command Antivirus expenses fully being consolidated into Commtouch from September 2010. Sales and marketing expenses included $0.4 million expenses in connection with ASC 718.
 
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased by 28%, from $3.1 million in 2009 to $3.9 million in 2010. The increase is mainly due to  expenses incurred  in connection with the acquisition of Command Antivirus. In 2010, general and administrative expenses included $0.7 million expenses in connection with equity based compensation.
 
Financial Income (Expenses), Net. Financial income (expenses), net, resulted in expenses of  $0.1 million in 2010 compared to income of $0.1 million in 2009.  The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in interest income in the Company's cash deposits and exchange differences derived from the devaluation of the US dollar against the NIS.
 
Taxes on income (tax benefit). In 2009, a deferred tax asset in the amount of $2.4 million in respect of loss carry forwards and other temporary differences was created in respect of forecasted taxable income that is more likely than not to be realized in the foreseeable future, based on our established pattern of profitability in the last few years. In 2010, the deferred tax asset increased by $1.1 million due to an increase in forecasted taxable income more likely than not to be realized in the foreseeable future.
 
Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2009 and 2008
 
Revenues. Revenues increased by $1.1 million from $14.1 million in 2008 to $15.2 million in 2009.  The increase is mainly due to a growth in market share, especially in the international (non-U.S.) markets and due to sales derived from our Web security product launched in the fourth quarter of 2008. The number of parties we signed OEM agreements with increased by 29 in 2009 and amounted to 135 as of December 31, 2009, 18 of which are in respect of our Web security products.
 
Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues increased by $0.5 million from $1.8 million in 2008 to $2.3 million in 2009. The increase in 2009 is mainly due to higher facility costs and hosting expenses following the opening of a fifth data center in the U.S.  aimed to serve the increasing number of customers.
 
Research and Development, net. Research and development expenses decreased by 6% and amounted to $3.0 million in 2009 compared to $3.2 million in 2008. The decrease is mainly due to approval of a $0.5 million OCS grant, which reduced our payroll cost in $0.3 million during 2009; however, this decrease was offset by an increase due to recruitment of additional employees to support the company’s efforts to develop new products. Research and development expenses in 2009 include $0.3 million of expenses in connection with ASC 718.
 
Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses increased by 6% and amounted to $4.2 million compared to $4.0 million in 2008. The increase is mainly due to recruitment of employees and increased selling and marketing activity. In 2009, sales and marketing expenses included $0.3 million expenses in connection with ASC 718.
 
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses decreased by 4% from $3.2 million in 2008 to $3.1 million in 2009. The decrease is mainly due to a decrease in expenses related to ASC 718. In 2009, general and administrative expenses included $0.7 million expenses in connection with ASC 718.
 
Financial Income (Expenses), Net. Financial income (expenses), net, decreased by 83% from income of $0.3 million in 2008 to income of $60,000 in 2009.  The decrease is primarily due to less interest income derived from declining interest rates throughout 2009 earned on the company's cash deposits.

 
19

 
 
Taxes on income (tax benefit). In 2009, a deferred tax asset in the amount of $2.4 million in respect of loss carry forwards and other temporary differences was created in respect of forecasted taxable income that is more likely than not to be realized in the foreseeable future, based on our established pattern of profitability in the last few years.

New Accounting Pronouncements
 
ASU 2009-13 - In October 2009, the FASB issued amendments to the accounting and disclosure for revenue recognition of multiple deliverable revenue arrangements codified in ASC 605-25. These amendments modify the criteria for recognizing revenue in multiple element arrangements and require companies to develop a best estimate of the selling price to separate deliverables and allocate arrangement consideration using the relative selling price method. Additionally, the amendments eliminate the residual method for allocating arrangement considerations. These amendments establish a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable, which is based on: a) vendor-specific objective evidence; b) third-party evidence; or c) estimates. In addition, this guidance significantly expands required disclosures related to a vendor's multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. ASU 2009-13 is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The Company has not early adopted the guidance. Management believes that the adoption of the new guidance will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 
20

 

ASU 2010-06 - In January 2010, the FASB updated the "Fair Value Measurements Disclosures" codified in ASC 820. More specifically, this update require (a) an entity to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 fair value measurements and to describe the reasons for the transfers; and (b) information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements to be presented separately (i.e. present the activity on a gross basis rather than net) in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs). This update clarifies existing disclosure requirements for the level of disaggregation used for classes of assets and liabilities measured at fair value, and requires disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements using Level 2 and Level 3 inputs. As applicable to the Company, this update became effective as of the first quarter ended December 31, 2010, except for the gross presentation of the Level 3 roll forward information, which is required for annual reporting of December 31, 2010. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
We have financed our operations from positive operating cash flows, the issuance of equity securities and, to a lesser extent, from research and development grants from the Israeli government.
 
As of December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2010, we had approximately $17.3 million and $13.4 million of cash and cash equivalents, respectively. The decrease was mainly due to the purchase of the Command Antivirus business unit in the amount of $4.6 million and $3.8 million expended in our Ordinary Share buyback plan (see discussion under Item 16E. “Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers”), offset by positive operating cash flow of $4.3 million and receipt of proceeds from the exercise of warrants and options in the amount of $0.8 million.
 
In 2010, net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $4.3 million. Net cash used in financing activities in 2010 was approximately $3.0 million, net of the share buyback activity. Net cash provided by investing activities in 2010 was $5.1 million and consisted primarily of the purchase of the Command Antivirus business unit in the amount of $4.6 million and purchase of property and equipment in the amount of $0.6 million. As of December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2010, we had working capital of $16.9 million and $13.6 million, respectively.
 
Based on the cash balance at December 31, 2010, current projections of revenues and related expenses, the Company believes it has sufficient cash to continue operations at least through May 2012.

Effective Corporate Tax Rates

The Company is subject to company tax on its taxable income. The applicable rate was 29% in 2007, 27% in 2008 and 26% in 2009, is 25% in 2010, and is scheduled to decline to 24% in 2011, 23% in 2012, 22% in 2013, 21% in 2014, 20% in 2015 and 18% in 2016 and thereafter.

As of December 31, 2010, the Company's net operating loss carry forwards for tax purposes amounted to approximately $ 80 million (including capital loss carry forward of $ 16 million), which may be carried forward and offset against taxable income in the future, for an indefinite period.

As of December 31, 2010, for federal income tax purposes, the U.S. subsidiary had net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $ 90 million. These losses may offset any future U.S. taxable income of the U.S. subsidiary and will expire in the years 2012 through 2025.

Utilization of U.S. net operating losses may be subject to substantial annual limitation due to a "change in ownership" under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and similar state provisions.  Such limitation might result in the loss of some or all of our U.S. net operating losses.
 
Impact of Inflation and Currency Fluctuations
 
Most of our sales are in U.S. dollars, and the rest are mainly in Euros. However, a portion of our costs relate to our operations in Israel. A substantial portion of our operating expenses in Israel, primarily our research and development expenses are denominated in NIS. Costs and revenues not denominated in U.S. dollars are re-measured to U.S. dollars, when recorded, at prevailing rates of exchange. This is done for the purposes of our financial statements and reporting. As a result, we are exposed to risk to the extent that the value of the U.S. dollar decreases against the NIS.  In that event, the U.S. dollar cost of our operations will increase and our U.S. dollar-measured results of operations will be adversely affected, as occurred in the first half of 2008, when the NIS appreciated against the U.S. dollar, which resulted in a significant increase in the U.S. dollar cost of our operations.  Also, in the event that the U.S. dollar appreciates against the Euro, our revenues will decrease. Consequently, we are and will be affected by changes in the prevailing NIS/U.S. dollar and Euro/ U.S. dollar exchange rates.
 
The annual rate of inflation in Israel was 2.7% in 2010, 3.9% in 2009 and 3.8% in 2008 The NIS appreciated against the U.S. dollar by approximately (6.0%) in 2010 and (0.7%) in 2009 and (1.1%) in 2008. The representative dollar exchange rate for converting the NIS to U.S. dollars, as reported by the Bank of Israel, was NIS 3.549for one U.S. dollar on December 31, 2010. The representative dollar exchange rate was NIS 3.538 at May 16, 2011. Because exchange rates between the NIS and the dollar fluctuate continuously, exchange rate fluctuations and especially larger periodic devaluations will have an impact on our operating results and period–to–period comparisons of our results. The effects of foreign currency re–measurements are reported in the consolidated financial statements for relevant periods in the statement of operations.

Election of Directors
 
Directors (other than outside directors, as explained below) are elected by shareholders at the annual general meeting of the shareholders and hold office until the next annual general meeting following the general meeting at which such director is elected and until a successor is elected, or until the director is removed. An annual general meeting must be held at least once in every calendar year, but not more than fifteen months after the preceding annual general meeting. Directors may be removed and other directors may be elected in their place or to fill vacancies in the Board of Directors at any time by the holders of a majority of the voting power at a general meeting of the shareholders. Until a vacancy is filled by the shareholders, the Board of Directors may appoint new directors temporarily to fill vacancies on the Board of Directors. The Amended and Restated Articles of Association of Commtouch authorize the shareholders to determine, from time to time, the number of directors. The maximum number of directors is currently fixed at ten directors, though only seven directors are currently serving on the Board of Directors. There are no family relationships among any of the directors, officers or key employees of Commtouch.
 
Alternate Directors
 
The Amended and Restated Articles of Association of Commtouch provide that any director may appoint another person to serve as an alternate director and may remove such alternate. Any alternate director possesses all the rights and obligations of the director who appointed him, except that the alternate has no standing at any meeting while the appointing director is present, the alternate may not in turn appoint an alternate for himself (unless the instrument appointing him otherwise expressly provides) and the alternate is not entitled to remuneration. A person who is not qualified to be appointed as a director may not be appointed as an alternate director. Unless the appointing director limits the time or scope of the appointment, the appointment is effective for all purposes until the appointing director ceases to be a director or terminates the appointment. The appointment of an alternate director does not in itself diminish the responsibility of the appointing director as a director.
 
Chairman of the Board
 
Under the Companies Law, the general manager of a company (or a relative of the general manager) may not serve as the chairman of the board of directors, and the chairman of the board of directors (or a relative of the chairman of the board of directors) may not serve as the general manager, unless approved by the shareholders by a special majority vote prescribed by the Companies Law.  In any event, the shareholder vote cannot authorize the appointment for a period longer than three years, which period may be extended from time to time by the shareholders with a similar special majority vote.  The chairman of the board of directors shall not hold any other position with the company (except as general manager if approved in accordance with the above procedure) or in any entity controlled by the company, other than as chairman of the board of directors of a controlled entity, and the company shall not delegate to the chairman duties that, directly or indirectly, make him or her subordinate to the general manager.
 
Independent and Outside Directors
 
The Israel Companies Law requires Israeli companies with shares that have been offered to the public in or outside of Israel to appoint at least two outside directors. No person may be appointed as an outside director if the person or the person’s relative, partner, employer or any entity under the person’s control has or had, on or within the two years preceding the date of the person’s appointment to serve as outside director, any affiliation with the company or any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the company. The term affiliation includes:
 
 
27

 
 
 
an employment relationship;
 
 
a business or professional relationship maintained on a regular basis;
 
 
control; and
 
 
service as an office holder.
 
No person may serve as an outside director if the person’s position or other business activities create, or may create, a conflict of interest with the person’s responsibilities as an outside director or may otherwise interfere with the person’s ability to serve as an outside director. If, at the time outside directors are to be appointed, all current members of the Board of Directors are of the same gender, then at least one outside director must be of the other gender.  At least one of the outside directors is required to have "financial and accounting expertise," unless another member of the audit committee, who is an independent director under the NASDAQ Listing Rules, has "financial and accounting expertise," and the other outside director or directors are required to have "professional expertise," all as defined under the Israel Companies Law.
 
Outside directors are to be elected by a majority vote at a shareholders’ meeting, provided that either:
 
 
such majority includes a majority of the shares held by non–controlling shareholders and shareholders who have no personal interest in the election of the outside directors (excluding a personal interest that is not related to a relationship with the controlling shareholders) who are present and voting at the meeting; or
 
 
the total number of shares held by non–controlling shareholders and disinterested shareholders voting against the election of the director at the meeting does not exceed two percent of the aggregate voting rights in the company.
 
The initial term of an outside director is three years and may be extended for an additional period of three years. Outside directors may be removed only by the same percentage of shareholders as is required for their election, or by a court, and then only if the outside director ceases to meet the statutory qualifications for their appointment or if they violate their fiduciary duty to the company. Each committee of a company’s Board of Directors must include at least one outside director and the audit committee (the existence of which is required under the Israel Companies Law) must include all outside directors. An outside director is entitled to compensation as provided in the regulations adopted under the Israel Companies Law and is otherwise prohibited from receiving any other compensation, directly or indirectly, in connection with service provided as an outside director.
 
Mr. Shamir and Mr. Bar-Touv currently serve as the Company’s outside directors.
 
In addition, the NASDAQ Listing Rules currently require Commtouch to have at least a majority of independent directors, as defined under Listing Rule 5605(a)(2), on the Board of Directors and to maintain an audit committee of at least three members, each of whom must:
 
 
(i)
be independent as defined under Listing Rule 5605(a)(2);
 
 
(ii)
meet the criteria for independence set forth in Rule 10A-3(b)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or “Exchange Act”, as set forth below (subject to the exemptions provided in Exchange Act Rule 10A-3(c));
 
 
(iii)
not have participated in the preparation of the financial statements of the Company or any current subsidiary of the Company at any time during the past three years; and
 
 
(iv)
be able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including a company’s balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement.
 
Under limited circumstances, the Company may have one audit committee member not independent in accordance with the above, but such a member would only be able to serve for a maximum of two years.
 
Exchange Act Rule 10A-3(b)(1) requires that members of the audit committee meet that rule’s definition of independence, which requires that an audit committee member may not, except in his or her capacity as a director or committee member, (i) accept directly or indirectly any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the Company or any of its subsidiaries (except for fixed amounts of compensation under a retirement plan for prior service with the Company, provided that such compensation is not contingent in any way on continued service), and (ii) be an “affiliated person” of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

 
28

 

NASDAQ rules also require that the Company certify that it has, and will continue to have, at least one member of the audit committee who has past employment experience in finance or accounting, requisite professional certification in accounting, or any other comparable experience or background which results in the individual’s financial sophistication, including being or having been a chief executive officer, chief financial officer or other senior officer with financial oversight  responsibilities.  Also, the Company is required to disclose whether or not it has an “audit committee financial expert” on its audit committee, as defined under Item 16A to Form 20-F.
 
The three directors who serve on our audit committee, Mr. Shamir, Mr. Bar-Touv and Mr. Shefsky, qualify as independent directors under NASDAQ Listing Rules (including Exchange Act Rule 10A-3). Furthermore, Mr. Shamir and Mr. Bar-Touv meet the qualification requirements for outside directors, as required under the Israel Companies Law.
 
The Company has identified the following Board members as “Independent directors” pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(a)(2):

 
a.
Yair Bar-Touv
 
b.
Yair Shamir
 
c.
Aviv Raiz
 
d.
Hila Karah
 
e.
Lloyd Shefsky
 
Pursuant to the Israeli Companies Law, an Israeli company, whose shares are publicly traded, may elect to adopt a provision in its articles of association pursuant to which a majority of its board of directors (or a third of its Board of Directors in case the company has a controlling shareholder) will constitute individuals complying with certain independence criteria prescribed by the Israel Companies Law, as well as certain other recommended corporate governance provisions.  We have not included such a provision in our articles of association since our board of directors complies with the independence requirements of the NASDAQ and Securities and Exchange Commission regulations described above.
 
Audit Committee
 
As noted above in the discussion under “Independent and Outside Directors”, the Israel Companies Law requires public companies to appoint an audit committee. The responsibilities of the audit committee include identifying irregularities in the management of the Company’s business (including through consultations with the internal auditor and independent accountant), approving management compensation, reviewing, classifying and approving related party transactions and extraordinary transactions as required by law, reviewing the internal auditor's audit plan and establishing and monitoring whistleblower procedures). An audit committee must consist of at least three directors meeting the independence standards under the NASDAQ Listing Rules and must include all outside directors under the Israel Companies Law, all as described above. One of the outside directors must serve as the chair of the audit committee.  Furthermore, under the Israel Companies Law, the audit committee may not include the chairman of the board, or any director employed by the Company, by a controlling shareholder or by any entity controlled by a controlling shareholder, or any director providing services to us, to a controlling shareholder or to any entity controlled by a controlling shareholder on a regular basis, or any director whose income is primarily dependent on a controlling shareholder, and may not include a controlling shareholder or any relatives of a controlling shareholder.  Under the Companies Law, a meeting of the audit committee is properly convened if a majority of the committee members attend the meeting, and in addition a majority of the attending committee members are independent directors within the meaning of the Companies Law and include at least one outside director.  Individuals who are not permitted to be audit committee members may not participate in the committee's meetings other than to make a presentation regarding a particular issue.  However, an employee who is not a controlling shareholder or relative may participate in the committee's discussions but not in any vote, and the company's legal counsel and corporate secretary may participate in the committee's discussions and votes if requested by the committee.

 
29

 
 
Compensation Committee
 
The Compensation Committee is responsible for determining salaries, incentives and other forms of compensation for Commtouch’s directors and its executive officers.  The Compensation Committee is also responsible for administering the various stock option plans, including the issuance of grants of options to employees of the Company and its subsidiary.
 
Nominating Committee
 
The committee’s responsibilities include identifying individuals qualified to become board members and recommending director nominees to the board.
 
Investment Committee
 
The committee’s responsibilities include identifying appropriate investment vehicles for the cash reserves of the Company and recommending to the board appropriate investment policy from time to time.  As of the date of filing of this annual report, the committee had not yet been reconstituted.
 
Internal Auditor
 
Under the Israel Companies Law, the Board of Directors must appoint an internal auditor, nominated by the audit committee. The role of the internal auditor is to examine, among other matters, whether a company’s actions comply with relevant law and orderly business procedure. Under the Companies Law, the internal auditor may be an employee of the company but not an interested party or office holder, or a relative of an interested party or office holder, and he or she may not be the company’s independent accountant or its representative
 
Approval of Certain Transactions; Obligations of Directors, Officers and Shareholders
 
The Israel Companies Law codifies the fiduciary duties that office holders, including directors and executive officers, owe to a company. An office holder’s fiduciary duties consist of a duty of care and a duty of loyalty. Each person listed in the first table that appears above at the beginning of this Item 6 is an office holder.
 
The duty of loyalty requires an office holder to act in good faith and for the benefit of the company, including to avoid any conflict of interest between the office holder’s position in the company and such person’s personal affairs, avoiding any competition with the company, avoiding exploiting any corporate opportunity of the company in order to receive personal advantage for such person or others, and revealing to the company any information or documents relating to the company’s affairs which the office holder has received due to his or her position as an office holder. A company may approve any of the acts mentioned above provided that all the following conditions apply: the office holder acted in good faith and neither the act nor the approval of the act prejudices the good of the company, and the office holder disclosed the essence of his personal interest in the act, including any substantial fact or document, a reasonable time before the date for discussion of the approval.  A director is required to exercise independent discretion in fulfilling his or her duties and may not be party to a voting agreement with respect to his or her vote as a director.  A violation of these requirements is deemed a breach of the director's duty of loyalty.

The duty of care requires an office holder to act with a level of care that a reasonable office holder in the same position would employ under the same circumstances.  This includes the duty to use reasonable means to obtain information regarding the advisability of a given action submitted for his or her approval or performed by virtue of his or her position and all other relevant information material to these actions.

Under the Israel Companies Law, all arrangements as to compensation of office holders who are not directors require approval of the audit committee and the Board of Directors. The approval of the compensation committee may be substituted for the approval of the audit committee, provided the compensation committee complies with all the requirements prescribed by the Companies Law regarding composition of the audit committee.  If the compensation arrangement is an immaterial amendment to an existing compensation arrangement of an officer who is not a director, the approval of the audit committee without Board approval is sufficient.  Arrangements regarding the compensation of directors require audit committee, Board of Directors and shareholder approval.
 
 
30

 
 
The Israel Companies Law requires that an office holder promptly disclose any personal interest that he or she may have and all related material information known to him or her, in connection with any existing or proposed transaction by the company. "Personal interest," as defined by the Companies Law, includes a personal interest of any person in an act or transaction of the company, including a personal interest of his relative or of a corporation in which that person or a relative of that person is a 5% or greater shareholder, a holder of 5% or more of the voting rights, a director or general manager, or in which he or she has the right to appoint at least one director or the general manager, and includes shares for which the person has the right to vote pursuant to a power-of-attorney.  "Personal interest" does not apply to a personal interest stemming merely from holding shares in the company.
 
The office holder must make the disclosure of his personal interest no later than the first meeting of the company's board of directors that discusses the particular transaction.  This duty does not apply to the personal interest of a relative of the office holder in a transaction unless it is an "extraordinary transaction."  An “extraordinary transaction” is defined as a transaction not in the ordinary course of business, a transaction that is not on market terms, or a transaction that is likely to have a material impact on the company’s profitability, assets or liabilities, and a "relative" as a spouse, sibling, parent, grandparent or descendant, and the sibling, parent or descendant of a spouse, as well as the spouse of any of the foregoing.
 
In the case of a transaction that is not an extraordinary transaction and that does not relate to compensation or terms of employment, after the office holder complies with the above disclosure requirement, only Board approval is required unless the Articles of Association of the company provide otherwise.  Our Amended and Restated Articles of Association do not provide otherwise.  Such approval must determine that the transaction is not adverse to the company’s interest. If the transaction is an extraordinary transaction, then in addition to any approval required by the Articles of Association, it also must be approved by the audit committee and by the Board and, under specified circumstances, by a meeting of the shareholders. An office holder who has a personal interest in a matter that is considered at a meeting of the Board of Directors or the audit committee generally may not be present at this meeting or vote on this matter unless a majority of the board of directors or the audit committee has a personal interest in the matter, or if such person is invited by the Chairman of the Board of Directors or audit committee, as applicable, to present the matter being considered.  If a majority of the board of directors or the audit committee has a personal interest in the transaction, shareholder approval also would be required.
 
The Israel Companies Law applies the same disclosure requirements to a controlling shareholder of a public company, which includes a shareholder that holds 25% or more of the voting rights if no other shareholder owns more than 50% of the voting rights in the company. Extraordinary transactions, including a private placement with a controlling shareholder or in which a controlling shareholder has a personal interest (including for the provision of services to the company through a company controlled by a controlling shareholder), and the terms of compensation of a controlling shareholder who is an office holder, require the approval of the audit committee, the Board of Directors and the shareholders of the company. The shareholder approval must either include a majority of the non-controlling and disinterested shareholders who are present, in person or by proxy, at the meeting or, alternatively, the total shareholdings of the non-controlling and disinterested shareholders who vote against the transaction must not represent more than two percent of the voting rights in the company. Generally, the approval of such a transaction may not extend for more than three years, except that in the case of an extraordinary transaction with a controlling shareholder or in which a controlling shareholder has a personal interest that does not concern terms of compensation for service as an office holder, or as a service provider to the company, the transaction may be approved for a longer period if the audit committee determines that the approval of the transaction for a period longer than three years is reasonable under the circumstances.
 
Under the Israel Companies Law, a shareholder has a duty to act in good faith towards the company and other shareholders and refrain from abusing his or her power in the company, including, among other things, in respect to his or her voting at the general meeting of shareholders on the following matters:
 
 
any amendment to the Articles of Association;
 
 
an increase of the company’s authorized share capital;
 
 
a merger; or
 
 
approval of interested party transactions that require shareholder approval.
 
In addition, any controlling shareholder, any shareholder who can determine the outcome of a shareholder vote and any shareholder who, under the company’s Articles of Association, can appoint or prevent the appointment of an office holder, are under a duty to act with fairness towards the company. The Israel Companies Law provides that a breach of the duty of fairness will be governed by the laws governing breach of contract. The Israel Companies Law does not describe the substance of this duty.

Insurance, Indemnification and Exculpation of Directors and Officers; Limitations on Liability
 
The Israel Companies Law permits a company to insure an office holder in respect of liabilities incurred by him or her as a result of the breach of his or her duty of care to the company or to another person, or as a result of the breach of his or her duty of loyalty to the company, to the extent that he or she acted in good faith and had reasonable cause to believe that the act would not prejudice the company. A company can also insure an office holder for monetary liabilities as a result of an act or omission that he or she committed in connection with his or her serving as an office holder. Moreover, a company can indemnify an office holder for (a) any monetary liability imposed upon such a office holder for the benefit of a third party pursuant to a court judgment, including a settlement or an arbitrator’s decision, confirmed by a court, (b) reasonable legal costs, including attorney’s fees, expended by a office holder as a result of an investigation or proceeding instituted against the office holder by a competent authority, provided that such investigation or proceeding concludes without the filing of an indictment against the office holder and either i) no financial liability was imposed on the office holder in lieu of criminal proceedings  or ii) financial liability was imposed on the office holder in lieu of criminal proceedings but the alleged criminal offense does not require proof of criminal intent, and (c) reasonable litigation expenses, including legal fees, actually incurred by such a office holder or imposed upon the office holder by a court order, in a proceeding brought against the office holder by or on behalf of the company or by others, or in a criminal action in which he was acquitted, or in a criminal action which does not require proof of criminal intent in which he was convicted.  The Companies Law further provides that the indemnification provision in a company’s articles of association (i) may be an obligation to indemnify in advance, provided that, other than litigation expenses, it is limited to events the board of directors can foresee in light of the company’s actual activities when providing the obligation and that it is limited to a sum or standards the board of directors determines is reasonable in the circumstances, and (ii) may permit the company to indemnify an officer or a director after the fact.
 
Furthermore, a company can, with one limited exception, exculpate an office holder in advance, in whole or in part, from liability for damages sustained by a breach of duty of care to the company.
 
All of these provisions are specifically limited in their scope by the Companies Law, which provides that a company may not indemnify or exculpate an officer or director nor enter into an insurance contract that would provide coverage for any monetary liability incurred as a result of (i) a breach by the officer or director of the duty of loyalty, unless the officer or director acted in good faith and had a reasonable basis to believe that the act would not prejudice the company, in which case the company is permitted to indemnify and provide insurance to but not to exculpate; (ii) an intentional or reckless breach by the officer or director of the duty of care, other than if solely done in negligence; (iii) any act or omission done with the intent to derive an illegal personal benefit; or (iv) any fine levied or forfeit against the director or officer.
 
Our Amended and Restated Articles of Association allow us to insure, exculpate and indemnify office holders to the fullest extent permitted by law provided such insurance, exculpation or indemnification is approved in accordance with the Israel Companies Law. We have acquired directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering the officers and directors of Commtouch and its subsidiary for certain claims. At the annual meeting of shareholders held on November 18, 2002, the shareholders approved a form of indemnification, exculpation and insurance agreement that is applicable to all our directors.  The form of this agreement, as well as related provisions in our Amended and Restated Articles of Association, were amended at the annual meeting of shareholders held on December 30, 2005.
 
Compensation of Directors and Executive Officers
 
The directors of Commtouch can be remunerated by Commtouch for their services as directors to the extent such remuneration is approved by Commtouch’s audit committee, Board of Directors and shareholders. Through 2008, directors did not receive cash compensation for their services.  However, at the annual meeting in December 2008, shareholders approved the payment of cash compensation, in addition to equity compensation (options), according to the following:
 
 
a.
NIS 31,700 base annually per director, as linked to the applicable Israeli consumer price index, payable in four equal installments at the beginning of each calendar quarter; and
 
b.
NIS 1,590 per director per face to face Board or committee meeting or NIS954 (60% of NIS 1590) in case of telephonic participation at such meeting, payable at the beginning of each calendar quarter following the quarter during which a Board member participated in a meeting. No separate per meeting compensation will be paid for committee meetings that are held on the same day immediately prior or subsequent to a Board meeting.  In that event, a Board and committee meeting will be considered one meeting.
 
 
32

 
 
 
c.
For non-Israeli based directors, the amounts set forth will be paid in United States dollars, according to the representative rate of exchange published by the Bank of Israel on the date of payment.
 
Directors also are reimbursed for their expenses for each Board of Directors meeting attended. See in this item 6, “Amended and Restated 1999 Non-employee Directors Stock Option Plan” for a discussion of director compensation in the form of option grants. During 2010, options to purchase 318,335 Ordinary Shares were granted to directors and executive officers under the Company’s stock option plans at a weighted average exercise price of $3.46 per share. The aggregate direct remuneration paid by Commtouch to all directors and executive officers (10 persons) in 2010 was approximately $912,000. During the same period Commtouch accrued or set aside approximately $97 thousand for the same group to provide pension, retirement or similar benefits. As of April 30, 2011, directors and executive officers of Commtouch (9 persons) held an aggregate of 2,146,207 stock options to purchase a like number of Ordinary Shares, with 1,495,160 of those options being vested and exercisable within sixty days of said date.
 
At the meeting of shareholders in December 2010, shareholders approved the payment to Hila Karah of up to $10,000 annually for the performance of any additional services, as agreed upon by Ms. Karah and the Company on a case by case basis.
 
Options to Purchase Securities from Registrant or Subsidiaries
 
As of April 30, 2011, options to purchase 4,526,507 Ordinary Shares were outstanding and held by 86 persons made up of then existing employees, consultants, executive officers and non–employee directors under the Company’s stock option plans, and there were 2,085,398 shares available for grant under all plans. Of the number of options outstanding, 3,263,539 were vested and exercisable.  Additionally, these outstanding options had exercise prices ranging from $0.0375 to $6.60 per share, a weighted average per share exercise price of approximately $2.08 and termination dates ranging from May 2011 to March 2017.
 
Employee Stock Option Plans
 
Employees, including executive officers and other management employees, participate in the Company’s employee option plans. The Commtouch Software Ltd. 2006 U.S. Stock Option Plan, primarily covering the granting of options to employees and consultants based in the United States, was adopted on December 15, 2006 and has a term of ten years.  The Commtouch Software Ltd. Amended and Restated Israeli Share Options Plan, primarily covering the granting of options to employees, consultants and directors based in Israel, was adopted on June 22, 2003 and has a term of ten years.   While Israeli based directors receive their grants under the Israeli plan, the principal terms of their grants are identical to those of non-Israeli based directors receiving their grants under the non-employee director plan (discussed below).
 
Some previous employee option plans have either terminated or were amended and restated, though options remain outstanding and exercisable under those plans.  Such plans include the Amended and Restated 1996 CSI Stock Option Plan which expired on January 1, 2006 and the Amended and Restated 1999 3(i) Share Option Plan, which was replaced by the above described Israeli Share Option Plan.

All employee stock option plans are administered by the Compensation Committee. Subject to the provisions of the employee stock plans and applicable law, the Compensation Committee has the authority to determine, among other things, to whom options may be granted; the number of Ordinary Shares to which an option may relate; the exercise price for each share; the vesting period of the option and the terms, conditions and restrictions thereof, including accelerated vesting on change of control provisions; to amend provisions relating to such plans; and to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of such plans.
 
Amended and Restated 1999 Non–Employee Directors Stock Option Plan
 
New non-employee directors are currently entitled to an initial grant of 50,000 options. Non-employee directors who are re-elected at the annual meeting of shareholders are entitled to additional grants of 16,667 options, though at the annual meeting held October 26, 2009 shareholders approved a one-time increase in the grants to re-elected directors to 30,000 options.

 
33

 

The Company’s Non–Employee Directors Plan was extended by an additional ten years at the annual meeting of shareholders held on December 15, 2008. Under this plan, each option becomes exercisable at a rate of 1/16th of the option shares every three months, and has an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Ordinary Shares on the grant date of such option. Up through 2004, each option granted had a maximum term of ten years, but would terminate earlier if the optionee ceased to be a member of the Board of Directors. Options granted to directors during 2005 - 2010 have a maximum term of six years.  At the annual meeting of shareholders of December 30, 2005, shareholders approved an amendment to the Non-Employee Directors Plan to allow for the acceleration of unvested options for any director who has served the Company for at least three years, unless the director resigned voluntarily or was removed from the Board of Directors due to a failure to perform any of his/her duties to the Company.

Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions.
 
The following table presents information with respect to beneficial ownership of our Ordinary Shares as of April 30, 2011, including:
 
 
each person or entity known to Commtouch to own beneficially more than five percent of Commtouch’s Ordinary Shares, and
 
 
all executive officers and directors as a group.
 
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and includes voting or investment power, with respect to shares. To our knowledge, except under applicable community property laws or as otherwise indicated, the persons named in the table have sole voting and sole investment control and rights to receive economic benefits with respect to all shares beneficially owned. The applicable percentage of ownership for each shareholder is based on 23,511,636 Ordinary Shares outstanding as of April 30, 2011. Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of options and other rights held and exercisable on or within sixty days of April 30, 2011 are deemed outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of the person holding those options and other rights and for all directors and officers as a group, but are not deemed outstanding for computing the percentage ownership of any other person.  Major shareholders in the Company have the same voting rights as all other shareholders.

Based on a review of the information provided to us by our transfer agent, as of April 30, 2011, there were 63 holders of record of our Ordinary Shares, including 42 holders of record residing in the United States holding 20,288,149 Ordinary Shares, or approximately 85% of the aggregate 23,889,265Ordinary Shares outstanding as of such date.  These numbers are not representative of the number of beneficial holders of our shares nor is it representative of where such beneficial holders reside since many of these Ordinary Shares were held of record by brokers or other nominees (including one U.S. nominee company, CEDE & Co., which held approximately 82% of our outstanding Ordinary Shares as of such date on behalf of approximately 86 brokers and banks).

Significant Changes in Percentage Ownership During the Past Three Years
 
Since December 2006, Catalyst Private Equity Partners II LP has acquired through purchases on the open market a total of 1,264,023 Ordinary Shares, which as of the filing of this annual report represents more than 5% ownership in the Company.
 
Interest of Management and their Family Members in Certain Transactions
 
There were no related party transactions during 2010 or through the date of filing of this Form 20-F.
 
Item 8. Financial Information.
 
See Item 18: Financial Statements.  If the Company decides to distribute a cash dividend out of income that has been tax exempt due to an “approved enterprise” status under the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 5719-1959, the amount of cash dividend will be subject to corporate tax at the rate then in effect under Israeli law. The Company has never declared or paid cash dividends on its Ordinary Shares.  However, the Company has not adopted a policy not to pay cash dividends and therefore may declare a dividend in the future. The Company’s current plans are to retain future earnings primarily to finance the development of its business and for other corporate purposes.
 
While we have brought a few relatively minor lawsuits for collection actions, we are not a party to any litigation, and we are not aware of any threatened litigation which, in the aggregate, would be material to the business of the Company.

Except as otherwise disclosed in this Annual Report, there has been no material change in our financial position since December 31, 2010.

Item 10. Additional Information.
 
We are registered under the Israel Companies Law as a public company with registration number 52-004418-1.  The objective stated in our memorandum of association is to engage in any lawful activity.
 
DESCRIPTION OF SHARES
 
Set forth below is a summary of the material provisions governing our share capital. This summary is not complete and should be read together with our Memorandum of Association and Amended and Restated Articles of Association, copies of which are filed with this report or have been filed as exhibits to certain of our prior filings with the SEC.
 
As of April 30, 2011, our authorized share capital consisted of 55,353,340 Ordinary Shares, NIS 0.15 par value. As of April 30, 2011, there were 23,511,636 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding.
 
DESCRIPTION OF ORDINARY SHARES
 
All issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares of Commtouch are duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
 
The Ordinary Shares do not have preemptive rights. Our Memorandum of Association, Amended and Restated Articles of Association and the laws of the State of Israel do not restrict in any way the ownership or voting of Ordinary Shares by non–residents of Israel, except with respect to subjects of countries which are in a state of war with Israel.
 
DIVIDEND AND LIQUIDATION RIGHTS
 
The Ordinary Shares are entitled to their full proportion of any cash or share dividend declared.
 
Subject to the rights of the holders of shares with preferential or other special rights that may be authorized, the holders of Ordinary Shares are entitled to receive dividends in proportion to the sums paid up or credited as paid up on account of the nominal value of their respective holdings of the shares in respect of which the dividend is being paid (without taking into account the premium paid up on the shares) out of assets legally available therefor and, in the event of our winding up, to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities in proportion to the nominal value of their respective holdings of the shares in respect of which such distribution is being made, subject to applicable law. Declaration of a dividend requires Board of Directors approval.
 
Under current Israeli regulations, any dividends or other distributions paid in respect of Ordinary Shares purchased by non–residents of Israel with certain non–Israeli currencies (including U.S. dollars) will be freely repatriable in such non–Israeli currencies at the rate of exchange prevailing at the time of conversion, provided that Israeli income tax has been paid on, or withheld from, such payments.
 
MODIFICATION OF CLASS RIGHTS
 
If at any time the share capital is divided into different classes of shares, then, unless the conditions of allotment of such class provide otherwise, the rights, additional rights, advantages, restrictions and conditions attached or not attached to any class, at any given time, may be modified, enhanced, added or abrogated by resolution at a meeting of the holders of the shares of such class.
 
Pursuant to Israel’s securities laws, a company registering its shares for trade on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange may not have more than one class of shares for a period of one year following registration, after which it is permitted to issue preferred shares, if the preference of those shares is limited to a preference in the distribution of dividends and these preferred shares have no voting rights.

SPECIAL PROVISIONS IN AMENDED AND RESTATED ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION RELATING TO DIRECTORS
 
The discussion regarding approval of director compensation and transactions with the Company under “Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees - Approval of Certain Transactions; Obligations of Directors, Officers and Shareholders” is incorporated herein by reference.
 
VOTING, SHAREHOLDER MEETINGS AND RESOLUTIONS
 
Holders of Ordinary Shares have one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders.
 
An annual general meeting must be held once every calendar year at such time (not more than 15 months after the last preceding annual general meeting) and at such place, either within or outside the State of Israel, as may be determined by the Board of Directors. The quorum required for a general meeting of shareholders consists of at least two shareholders present in person or by proxy and holding at least one–third of the voting rights of the issued share capital. A meeting adjourned for lack of a quorum may be adjourned to the same day in the next week at the same time and place, or to such time and place as the Board of Directors may determine in a notice to shareholders. At such reconvened meeting any two shareholders entitled to vote and present in person or by proxy will constitute a quorum.  Rule 5620(c) to Nasdaq Listing Rules requires that an issuer listed on Nasdaq should have a quorum requirement that in no case be less than 33 1/3% of the outstanding shares of the company’s common voting stock. However, as mentioned above, our articles of association, consistent with the Companies Law, provides for a lower quorum requirement at an adjourned meeting.
 
Generally, shareholder resolutions will be deemed adopted if approved by the holders of a majority of the voting power represented at the meeting, in person or by proxy, and voting thereon.  For certain matters as described under the Israel Companies law, there is a requirement that the majority include the affirmative vote of at least one-third of the votes cast by shareholders who are not controlling shareholders of the Company or interested parties in the matter to be voted upon (or their representatives) or, alternatively, the total shareholdings of the votes cast against the proposal (other than by the Company’s controlling shareholders or interested parties in the matter to be voted upon) must not represent more than one percent of the voting rights in the Company.
 
ANTI–TAKEOVER PROVISIONS UNDER ISRAELI LAW
 
Under the Companies Law, a merger is generally required to be approved by the shareholders and board of directors of each of the merging companies. If the share capital of the company that will not be the surviving company is divided into different classes of shares, the approval of each class is also required. In addition, a merger can be completed only after 30 days have passed from the shareholders’ approval of each of the merging companies, all approvals have been submitted to the Israeli Registrar of Companies and at least fifty days have passed from the time that a proposal for approval of the merger was filed with the Registrar.
 
The Companies Law provides that an acquisition of shares in a public company must be made by means of a tender offer if as a result of the acquisition the purchaser would hold 25% or more of the voting rights in the company, unless there is already another 25% shareholder of the company. Similarly, the Companies Law provides that an acquisition of shares in a public company must be made by means of tender offer if as a result of the acquisition the purchaser would hold more than 45% of the voting rights in the company, unless someone else already holds 45% of the voting power of the company.
 
Finally, Israeli tax law treats specified acquisitions, including a stock–for–stock swap between an Israeli company and a foreign company, less favorably than does U.S. tax law. For example, Israeli tax law may subject a shareholder who exchanges his Ordinary Shares for shares in a foreign corporation to taxation before it would become taxable in the United States, even though the investment has not become liquid, although in the case of shares of a foreign corporation that are traded on a stock exchange, the tax may be postponed subject to certain conditions.

 
38

 
 
TRANSFER OF SHARES AND NOTICES
 
Fully paid Ordinary Shares that are issued and not subject to any legal restrictions on transference may be transferred freely. Each shareholder of record is entitled to receive at least twenty-one days' prior notice (and for certain matters, thirty-five days’ prior notice) before the date of a shareholder meeting and at least five days notice before the record date for the meeting. For purposes of determining the shareholders entitled to notice and to vote at such meeting, the Board of Directors may fix a record date not exceeding 40 days prior to the date of any shareholder meeting.
 
CHANGES IN OUR CAPITAL
 
Changes in our capital are subject to the approval of the shareholders by a majority of the votes of shareholders present by person or by proxy and voting at the shareholders meeting.
 
ACCESS TO INFORMATION
 
We file reports with the Israeli Registrar of Companies regarding our registered address, our registered capital, our shareholders of record and the number of shares held by each, the identity of the directors and details regarding security interests on our assets. In addition, Commtouch must file with the Israeli Registrar of Companies its Amended and Restated Articles of Association and any further amendments thereto. The information filed with the Registrar of Companies is available to the public. In addition to the information available to the public, our shareholders are entitled, upon request, to review and receive copies of all minutes of meetings of our shareholders.
 
We are subject to certain of the information reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.  As a “foreign private issuer,” we are exempt from the rules and regulations under the Exchange Act prescribing the furnishing and content of proxy statements, and our officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and “short-swing” profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act, with respect to their purchase and sale of the Ordinary Shares.  In addition, we are not required to file reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as U.S. companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act.  However, we file with the SEC an Annual Report on Form 20-F containing financial statements audited by an independent registered public accounting firm.  We also furnish quarterly reports on Form 6-K containing unaudited financial information after the end of each quarter and other reports on Form 6-K from time to time.  We post our Annual Report on Form 20-F on our Website (www.commtouch.com) promptly following the filing of our Annual Report with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

MATERIAL CONTRACTS DURING PAST TWO YEARS
 
Cost Investments. Commtouch made a $750,000 investment in Mirapoint Software, Inc., a secure messaging vendor and an OEM licensee, as part of Mirapoint's larger financing round in the fourth quarter of 2007.  In connection therewith, Commtouch received a minority ownership interest in Mirapoint of approximately 8%.  During early 2009, Commtouch made an additional investment in Mirapoint, as part of a larger financing round, in the amount of $477,000. In total, Commtouch investments in Mirapoint as of December 31, 2010 amounted to $1,227,000. By way of a merger, Mirapoint is now a part of Critical Path, Inc., with Commtouch having an ownership interest of approximately 2% in Critical Path.

Asset Purchases. On September 3, 2010, we acquired certain assets comprising the Command Antivirus business unit of Authentium (now known as SafeCentral, Inc.), including:
 
 
i.
the antivirus services known as “AV SDK” and “CSAM”, which are aimed at protecting customers against viruses, spyware, Trojan downloaders and other such Internet related threats;
 
ii.
certain contracts with OEM customers pursuant to which such OEM customers are authorized to integrate the AV SDK into their solutions and to sell and support such integrated solutions;
 
iii.
certain contracts with resellers pursuant to which such resellers are authorized to sell the CSAM solutions;
 
iv.
all such products’ intellectual property (including all interests in the Authentium and Command Software brand names and all associated trademarks, trade names and related property); and
 
v.
certain furniture, computers and office equipment.
 
At the closing, Commtouch also employed 13 new employees, based in a Florida office, and engaged 4 independent contractors providing remote services to the operation.

In consideration for the sale of this division, Commtouch paid Authentium the sum of $4.6 million in cash, $920,000 of which was placed in escrow for distribution to Authentium in two installments during 2011, provided those funds are not needed to satisfy certain obligations, as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement. Additionally, following the conclusion of the 2011 year and based on achievement of certain revenue milestones, Commtouch shall pay SafeCentral in cash the Earnout of approximately $3 million, subject to adjustment upward or downward based on the performance level of the purchased OEM contracts. The fair value of the Earnout obligation as of December 31, 2010 is $ 2.8 million.
 
Amended and Restated Articles of Association
 
See the discussion under Item 4 “Information on the Company- Overview” for instructions on how to locate the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Association. In addition, the Articles are incorporated by reference to this Form 20-F under Exhibit 1.2 below.
 
EXCHANGE CONTROLS
 
Non-residents of Israel who own our Ordinary Shares may freely convert all amounts received in Israeli currency in respect of such Ordinary Shares, whether as a dividend, liquidation distribution or as proceeds from the sale of the Ordinary Shares, into non-Israeli currencies at the rate of exchange prevailing at the time of conversion (provided in each case that the applicable Israeli income tax, if any, is paid or withheld).

Until May 1998, Israel imposed extensive restrictions on transactions in foreign currency.  These restrictions were largely lifted in May 1998.  Since January 1, 2003, all exchange control restrictions have been eliminated although there are still reporting requirements for foreign currency transactions.  Legislation remains in effect, however, pursuant to which currency controls can be imposed by administrative action at any time.

The State of Israel does not restrict in any way the ownership or voting of our Ordinary Shares by non-residents of Israel, except with respect to subjects of countries that are in a state of war with Israel.
 
ISRAELI TAXATION
 
The following is a summary of the principal tax laws applicable to companies in Israel, including special reference to their effect on us, and Israeli government programs benefiting us. This section also contains a discussion of the material Israeli tax consequences to you if you acquire Ordinary Shares of our company. This summary does not discuss all the acts of Israeli tax law that may be relevant to you in light of your personal investment circumstances or if you are subject to special treatment under Israeli law. To the extent that the discussion is based on new tax legislation which has not been subject to judicial or administrative interpretation, we cannot assure you that the views expressed in this discussion will be accepted by the tax authorities. The discussion should not be understood as legal or professional tax advice and is not exhaustive of all possible tax considerations.

General Corporate Tax Structure

Generally, Israeli companies are subject to “Corporate Tax” on their taxable income. The applicable rate was 29% in 2007, 27% in 2008, 26% in 2009, is 25% in 2010 and is scheduled to decline to 24% in 2011, 23% in 2012, 22% in 2013, 21% in 2014, 20% in 2015 and 18% in 2016 and thereafter.
 
Tax Benefits under the Law for the Encouragement of Industry (Taxes), 1969
 
The Law for the Encouragement of Industry (Taxes), 1969, generally referred to as the Industry Encouragement Law, provides several tax benefits for industrial companies. An industrial company is defined as a company resident in Israel, at least 90% of the income of which in a given tax year exclusive of income from specified government loans, capital gains, interest and dividends, is derived from an industrial enterprise owned by it. An industrial enterprise is defined as an enterprise whose major activity in a given tax year is industrial production activity.

Under the Industry Encouragement Law, industrial companies are entitled to a number of corporate tax benefits, including:
 
 
·
deduction of purchase of know-how and patents and/or right to use a patent over an eight-year period ;
 
·
the right to elect, under specified conditions, to file a consolidated tax return with additional related Israeli industrial companies and an industrial holding company;
 
·
accelerated depreciation rates on equipment and buildings.
 
·
Expenses related to a public offering on TA stock exchange and as of 1.1.2003 on recognized stock markets outside of Israel, are deductible in equal amounts over three years.

Under some tax laws and regulations, an industrial enterprise may be eligible for special depreciation rates for machinery, equipment and buildings. These rates differ based on various factors, including the date the operations begin and the number of work shifts. An industrial company owning an approved enterprise may choose between these special depreciation rates and the depreciation rates available to the approved enterprise.

Eligibility for benefits under the Industry Encouragement Law is not subject to receipt of prior approval from any governmental authority.

We believe that we currently qualify as an industrial company within the definition of the Industry Encouragement Law. We cannot assure you that the Israeli tax authorities will agree that we qualify, or, if we qualify, that we will continue to qualify as an industrial company or that the benefits described above will be available to us in the future.

In December 2010, the "Knesset" (Israeli Parliament) passed the Law for Economic Efficiency for 2011 and 2012 (Amended Legislation), 2011, which prescribes, among others, amendments in the Investment Law. The amendment became effective as of January 1, 2011. According to the amendment, the benefit tracks in the Investment Law were modified and a flat tax rate applies to the Company's entire preferred income. The Company will be able to apply (the waiver is non-recourse) the amendment and from then on it will be subject to the amended tax rates that are: 2011 and 2012 - 15%, 2013 and 2014 - 12.5% and in 2015 and thereafter - 12%.

The Company is not in development area A. The Company is examining the possible effect of the amendment on the financial statements, if at all, and has not yet decided whether to apply the amendment.

Special Provisions Relating to Measurement of Taxable Income

Our company is taxed until tax year 2007 (including) under the Income Tax Law (Inflationary Adjustments), 1985, generally referred to as the Inflationary Adjustments Law. The Inflationary Adjustments Law is highly complex and represents an attempt to overcome the problems presented to a traditional tax system by an economy undergoing rapid inflation. Its features, which are material to us, are summarized as follows:
 
 
·
Where a company’s equity, as calculated under the Inflationary Adjustments Law, exceeds the depreciated cost of its fixed assets (as defined in the Inflationary Adjustments Law), a deduction from taxable income is permitted equal to the excess multiplied by the applicable annual rate of inflation. The maximum deduction permitted in any single tax year is 70% of taxable income, with the unused portion permitted to be carried forward, linked to the Israeli consumer price index. The unused portion that was carried forward may be deductible in full in the following year.
 
 
·
Where a company’s depreciated cost of fixed assets exceeds its equity, then the excess multiplied by the applicable annual rate of inflation is added to taxable income. (hereinafter: “inflation supplement”). Note, the inflation supplement will only be added to the corporate income but not to other incomes such as capital gains.
 
 
·
Subject to specified limitations, depreciation deductions on fixed assets and losses carried forward are adjusted for inflation based on the change in the consumer price index.

In February 2008, the Inflationary Adjustments Law was repealed.
 
Capital Gains Tax on Sales of Our Ordinary Shares
 
Israeli law generally imposes a capital gains tax on the sale of any capital assets by residents of Israel, as defined for Israeli tax purposes, and on the sale of assets located in Israel, including shares in Israeli companies, by both residents and non-residents of Israel, unless a specific exemption is available or unless a tax treaty between Israel and the shareholder’s country of residence provides otherwise. The law distinguishes between real gain and inflationary surplus. The inflationary surplus is a portion of the total capital gain which is equivalent to the increase of the relevant asset’s purchase price which is attributable to the increase in the Israeli consumer price index or, in certain circumstances, a foreign currency exchange rate, between the date of purchase and the date of sale. The real gain is the excess of the total capital gain over the inflationary surplus.
 
As of January 1, 2006, the tax rate applicable to capital gains derived from the sale of shares, whether listed on a stock market or not, is 20% for Israeli individuals, unless such shareholder claims a deduction for financing expenses in connection with such shares, in which case the gain will generally be taxed at a rate of 25%. Additionally, if such shareholder is considered a “material shareholder” at any time during the 12-month period preceding such sale, i.e., such shareholder holds directly or indirectly, including with others, at least 10% of any means of control in the company, the tax rate shall be 25%. Israeli companies are subject to the Corporate Tax rate on capital gains derived from the sale of shares, unless such companies were not subject to the Adjustments Law (or certain regulations) at the time of publication of the aforementioned amendment to the Tax Ordinance that came into effect on January 1, 2006, in which case the applicable tax rate is 25%. However, the foregoing tax rates do not apply to: (i) dealers in securities; and (ii) shareholders who acquired their shares prior to an initial public offering (that may be subject to a different tax arrangement).
 
Non-Israeli residents are exempt from Israeli capital gains tax on any gains derived from the sale of shares of Israeli companies publicly traded on a recognized stock exchange or regulated market outside of Israel, provided however that such capital gains are not derived from a permanent establishment in Israel, such shareholders are not subject to the Adjustments Law, and such shareholders did not acquire their shares prior to an initial public offering. However, non-Israeli corporations will not be entitled to such exemption if an Israeli resident (i) has a controlling interest of 25% or more in such non-Israeli corporation, or (ii) is the beneficiary or is entitled to 25% or more of the revenues or profits of such non-Israeli corporation, whether directly or indirectly.

 
42

 
 
In some instances where our shareholders may be liable to Israeli tax on the sale of their Ordinary Shares, the payment of the consideration may be subject to the withholding of Israeli tax at the source.
 
Pursuant to the Convention Between the government of the United States of America and the government of Israel with Respect to Taxes on Income, as amended (the “U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty”), the sale, exchange or disposition of Ordinary Shares by a person who (i) holds the Ordinary Shares as a capital asset, (ii) qualifies as a resident of the United States within the meaning of the U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty and (iii) is entitled to claim the benefits afforded to such person by the U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty, generally, will not be subject to the Israeli capital gains tax. Such exemption will not apply if (i) such Treaty U.S. Resident holds, directly or indirectly, shares representing 10% or more of our voting power during any part of the 12-month period preceding such sale, exchange or disposition, subject to certain conditions, or (ii) the capital gains from such sale, exchange or disposition can be allocated to a permanent establishment in Israel. In such case, the sale, exchange or disposition of Ordinary Shares would be subject to Israeli tax, to the extent applicable; however, under the U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty, such Treaty U.S. Resident would be permitted to claim a credit for such taxes against the U.S. federal income tax imposed with respect to such sale, exchange or disposition, subject to the limitations in U.S. laws applicable to foreign tax credits. The U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty does not relate to U.S. state or local taxes.
 
Taxation of Non-Resident Holders of Shares
 
Non-residents of Israel are subject to income tax on income accrued or derived from sources in Israel. Such sources of income include passive income such as dividends, royalties and interest, as well as non-passive income from services rendered in Israel. On distributions of dividends other than bonus shares, or stock dividends, income tax is withheld at the source at the following rates: for dividends distributed on or after January 1, 2006 - 20%, or 25% for a shareholder that is considered a “material shareholder” at any time during the 12-month period preceding such distribution, unless a different rate is provided in a treaty between Israel and the shareholder’s country of residence. Under the U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty, the maximum tax on dividends paid to a holder of Ordinary Shares who is a Treaty U.S. Resident is 25%. Furthermore, dividends not generated by an Approved Enterprise (or Benefited Enterprise) paid to a U.S. corporation holding at least 10% of our issued voting power during the part of the tax year which precedes the date of payment of the dividend and during the whole of its prior tax year, are generally taxed at a rate of 12.5%.
 
For information with respect to the applicability of Israeli capital gains taxes on the sale of Ordinary Shares by United States residents, see above “Capital Gains Tax on Sales of Our Ordinary Shares.”

UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

THE FOLLOWING SUMMARY IS INCLUDED HEREIN FOR GENERAL INFORMATION AND IS NOT INTENDED TO BE, AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED TO BE, LEGAL OR TAX ADVICE. EACH U.S. HOLDER SHOULD CONSULT WITH HIS OR HER OWN TAX ADVISOR AS TO THE PARTICULAR U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND SALE OF ORDINARY SHARES, INCLUDING THE EFFECTS OF APPLICABLE STATE, LOCAL, FOREIGN OR OTHER TAX LAWS AND POSSIBLE CHANGES IN THE TAX LAWS.

U.S. Federal Income Taxation

Subject to the limitations described in the next paragraph, the following discussion summarizes the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to a “U.S. Holder” arising from the purchase, ownership and sale of the Ordinary Shares. For this purpose, a “U.S. Holder” is a holder of Ordinary Shares that is: (1) an individual citizen or resident of the United States, including an alien individual who is a lawful permanent resident of the United States or meets the substantial presence residency test under U.S. federal income tax laws; (2) a corporation (or entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) or a partnership (other than a partnership that is not treated as a U.S. person under any applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations) created or organized under the laws of the United States or the District of Columbia or any political subdivision thereof; (3) an estate, the income of which is includable in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of source; (4) a trust if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust; (5) a trust that has a valid election in effect to be treated as a U.S. person to the extent provided in U.S. Treasury regulations, or (6) any person otherwise subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis in respect of the Ordinary Shares, if such status as a U.S. Holder is not overridden pursuant to the provisions of an applicable tax treaty.

 
43

 

This summary is for general information purposes only and does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all of the U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to purchase our Ordinary Shares. This summary generally considers only U.S. Holders that will own our Ordinary Shares as capital assets. Except to the limited extent discussed below, this summary does not consider the U.S. federal tax consequences to a person that is not a U.S. Holder, not does it describe the rules applicable to determine a taxpayer’s status as a U.S. Holder. This summary is based on the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, final, temporary and proposed U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, and the U.S./Israel Income Tax Treaty, all as in effect as of the date hereof and all of which are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis, and all of which are open to differing interpretations.  Commtouch will not seek a ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, with regard to the U.S. federal income tax treatment of an investment in our Ordinary Shares by U.S. Holders and, therefore, can provide no assurances that the IRS will agree with the conclusions set forth below.

This discussion does not address all of the aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to a particular shareholder based on such shareholder’s particular circumstances and in particular does not discuss any estate, gift, generation-skipping, transfer, state, local or foreign tax considerations. In addition, this discussion does not address the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a U.S. Holder who is: (1) a bank, life insurance company, regulated investment company, or other financial institution or “financial services entity”; (2) a broker or dealer in securities or foreign currency; (3) a person who acquired our Ordinary Shares in connection with employment or other performance of services; (4) a U.S. Holder that is subject to the U.S. alternative minimum tax; (5) a U.S. Holder that holds our Ordinary Shares as a hedge or as part of a hedging, straddle, conversion or constructive sale transaction or other risk-reduction transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes; (6) a tax-exempt entity; (7) real estate investment trusts; (8) a U.S. Holder that expatriates out of the United States or a former long-term resident of the United States; or (9) a person having a functional currency other then the U.S. dollar. This discussion does not address the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a U.S. Holder that owns, directly or constructively, at any time, Ordinary Shares representing 10% or more of our voting power. Additionally, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of persons who hold Ordinary Shares through a partnership or other pass-through entity are not considered.

Each prospective investor is advised to consult such person’s own tax advisor with respect to the specific U.S. federal and state income tax consequences to such person of purchasing, holding or disposing of the Ordinary Shares, including the effects of applicable state, local, foreign or other tax laws and possible changes in the tax laws.

Distributions on Ordinary Shares

Subject to the discussion under the heading “Passive Foreign Investment Companies” below, a U.S. Holder will be required to include in gross income as ordinary income the amount of any distribution paid on Ordinary Shares (including the amount of any Israeli tax withheld on the date of the distribution), to the extent that such distribution does not exceed our current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The amount of a distribution which exceeds our earnings and profits will be treated first as a non-taxable return of capital, reducing the U.S. Holder’s tax basis for the Ordinary Shares to the extent thereof, and then capital gain. Corporate holders generally will not be allowed a deduction for dividends received. In general, preferential tax rates not exceeding 15% for “qualified dividend income” and long-term capital gains are applicable for U.S. Holders that are individuals, estates or trusts (these preferential rates are scheduled to expire for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2012, after which time dividends are scheduled to be taxed at ordinary income rates and long-term capital gains are scheduled to be taxed at rates not exceeding 20%). For this purpose, “qualified dividend income” means, inter alia, dividends received from a “qualified foreign corporation.” A “qualified foreign corporation” is a corporation that is entitled to the benefits of a comprehensive tax treaty with the United States which includes an exchange of information program. The IRS has stated that the Israel/U.S. Tax Treaty satisfies this requirement and we believe we are eligible for the benefits of that treaty.

 
44

 

In addition, our dividends will be qualified dividend income if our Ordinary Shares are readily tradable on NASDAQ or another established securities market in the United States. Dividends will not qualify for the preferential rate if we are treated, in the year the dividend is paid or in the prior year, as a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC. A U.S. Holder will not be entitled to the preferential rate: (i) if the U.S. Holder has not held our Ordinary Shares or ADRs for at least 61 days of the 121 day period beginning on the date which is 60 days before the ex-dividend date, or (ii) to the extent the U.S. Holder is under an obligation to make related payments on substantially similar property. Any days during which the U.S. Holder has diminished its risk of loss on our Ordinary Shares are not counted towards meeting the 61-day holding period. Finally, U.S. Holders who elect to treat the dividend income as “investment income” pursuant to Code section 163(d)(4) will not be eligible for the preferential rate of taxation.

The amount of a distribution with respect to our Ordinary Shares will be measured by the amount of the fair market value of any property distributed, and for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the amount of any Israeli taxes withheld therefrom. (See discussion above under “Taxation of Non-Resident Holders of Shares.”) Cash distributions paid by us in NIS will be included in the income of U.S. Holders at a U.S. dollar amount based upon the spot rate of exchange in effect on the date the dividend is includible in the income of the U.S. Holder, and U.S. Holders will have a tax basis in such NIS for U.S. federal income tax purposes equal to such U.S. dollar value. If the U.S. Holder subsequently converts the NIS, any subsequent gain or loss in respect of such NIS arising from exchange rate fluctuations will be U.S. source ordinary exchange gain or loss.

Distributions paid by us will generally be foreign source income for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. Subject to the limitations set forth in the Code, U.S. Holders may elect to claim a foreign tax credit against their U.S. income tax liability for Israeli income tax withheld from distributions received in respect of the Ordinary Shares. In general, these rules limit the amount allowable as a foreign tax credit in any year to the amount of regular U.S. tax for the year attributable to foreign source taxable income. This limitation on the use of foreign tax credits generally will not apply to an electing individual U.S. Holder whose creditable foreign taxes during the year do not exceed $300, or $600 for joint filers, if such individual’s gross income for the taxable year from non-U.S. sources consists solely of certain passive income. A U.S. Holder will be denied a foreign tax credit with respect to Israeli income tax withheld from dividends received with respect to the Ordinary Shares if such U.S. Holder has not held the Ordinary Shares for at least 16 days out of the 31-day period beginning on the date that is 15 days before the ex-dividend date or to the extent that such U.S. Holder is under an obligation to make certain related payments with respect to substantially similar or related property. Any day during which a U.S. Holder has substantially diminished his or her risk of loss with respect to the Ordinary Shares will not count toward meeting the 16-day holding period. A U.S. Holder will also be denied a foreign tax credit if the U.S. Holder holds the Ordinary Shares in an arrangement in which the U.S. Holder’s reasonably expected economic profit is insubstantial compared to the foreign taxes expected to be paid or accrued. The rules relating to the determination of the U.S. foreign tax credit are complex, and U.S. Holders should consult with their own tax advisors to determine whether, and to what extent, they are entitled to such credit. U.S. Holders that do not elect to claim a foreign tax credit may instead claim a deduction for Israeli income taxes withheld, provided such U.S. Holders itemize their deductions.

Disposition of Shares

Except as provided under the PFIC rules described below, upon the sale, exchange or other disposition of our Ordinary Shares, a U.S. Holder will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between such U.S. Holder’s tax basis for the Ordinary Shares and the amount realized on the disposition (or its U.S. dollar equivalent determined by reference to the spot rate of exchange on the date of disposition, if the amount realized is denominated in a foreign currency). The gain or loss realized on the sale or exchange or other disposition of Ordinary Shares will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder has a holding period of more than one year at the time of the disposition.

In general, gain realized by a U.S. Holder on a sale, exchange or other disposition of Ordinary Shares will generally be treated as U.S. source income for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. A loss realized by a U.S. Holder on the sale, exchange or other disposition of Ordinary Shares is generally allocated to U.S. source income. However, U.S. Treasury Regulations require such loss to be allocated to foreign source income to the extent specified dividends were received by the taxpayer within the 24-month period preceding the date on which the taxpayer recognized the loss. The deductibility of a loss realized on the sale, exchange or other disposition of Ordinary Shares is subject to limitations.

 
45

 

Medicare Contribution Tax

For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2012, U.S. Holders who are individuals, estates or trusts will generally be required to pay a new 3.8% Medicare tax on their net investment income (including dividends on and gains from the sale or other disposition of our Ordinary Shares), or in the case of estates and trusts on their net investment income that is not distributed, in each case to the extent that their total adjusted income exceeds applicable thresholds.

Passive Foreign Investment Companies

Special U.S. federal income tax laws apply to a U.S. Holder who owns shares of a corporation that was (at any time during the U.S. Holder’s holding period) a PFIC.  We would be treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for any tax year if, in such tax year, either:

 
·
75% or more of our gross income (including our pro rata share of gross income for any company, U.S. or foreign, in which we are considered to own 25% or more of the shares by value), in a taxable year is passive (the “Income Test”); or
 
 
·
At least 50% of our assets, averaged over the year and generally determined based upon value (including our pro rata share of the assets of any company in which we are considered to own 25% or more of the shares by value), in a taxable year are held for the production of, or produce, passive income (the “Asset Test”).
 
For this purpose, passive income generally consists of dividends, interest, rents, royalties, annuities and income from certain commodities transactions and from notional principal contracts. Cash is treated as generating passive income.

If we are or become a PFIC, each U.S. Holder who has not elected to treat us as a qualified electing fund by making a “QEF election”, or who has not elected to mark the shares to market (as discussed below), would, upon receipt of certain distributions by us and upon disposition of our Ordinary Shares at a gain, be liable to pay U.S. federal income tax at the then prevailing highest tax rates on ordinary income plus interest on such tax, as if the distribution or gain had been recognized ratably over the taxpayer’s holding period for the Ordinary Shares. In addition, when shares of a PFIC are acquired by reason of death from a decedent that was a U.S. Holder, the tax basis of such shares would not receive a step-up to fair market value as of the date of the decedent’s death, but instead would be equal to the decedent’s basis if lower, unless all gain were recognized by the decedent. Indirect investments in a PFIC may also be subject to special U.S. federal income tax rules.

The PFIC rules described above would not apply to a U.S. Holder who makes a QEF election for all taxable years that such U.S. Holder has held the Ordinary Shares while we are a PFIC, provided that we comply with specified reporting requirements. Instead, each U.S. Holder who has made such a QEF election is required for each taxable year that we are a PFIC to include in income such U.S. Holder’s pro rata share of our ordinary earnings as ordinary income and such U.S. Holder’s pro rata share of our net capital gains as long-term capital gain, regardless of whether we make any distributions of such earnings or gain. In general, a QEF election is effective only if we make available certain required information. The QEF election is made on a shareholder-by-shareholder basis and generally may be revoked only with the consent of the IRS. Although we have no obligation to do so, we intend to comply with the applicable information reporting requirements for U.S. Holders to make a QEF election.

A U.S. Holder of PFIC shares which are traded on qualifying public markets, including the NASDAQ, can elect to mark the shares to market annually, recognizing as ordinary income or loss each year an amount equal to the difference as of the close of the taxable year between the fair market value of the PFIC shares and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the PFIC shares. Losses are allowed only to the extent of net mark-to-market gain previously included income by the U.S. Holder under the election for prior taxable years.

 
46

 

In light of the complexity of PFIC rules, we cannot assure you that we have not been or are not a PFIC or will avoid becoming a PFIC in the future. U.S. Holders who hold Ordinary Shares during a period when we are a PFIC will be subject to the foregoing rules, even if we cease to be a PFIC, subject to specified exceptions for U.S. Holders who made a QEF or mark-to-market election. U.S. Holders are strongly urged to consult their tax advisors about the PFIC rules, including the eligibility, manner, and consequences to them of making a QEF or mark-to-market election with respect to our Ordinary Shares in the event we that qualify as a PFIC. For those U.S. Holders who determine that we were a PFIC in any of our taxable years and notify us in writing of their request for the information required in order to effectuate the QEF election described above, we will promptly make such information available to them.

Information Reporting and Withholding

With respect to cash dividends and proceeds from a disposition of Ordinary Shares, a U.S. Holder may be subject to backup withholding (currently at a rate of 28%, with such rate being frozen at this level through December 31, 2012). In general, back-up withholding will apply only if a U.S. Holder fails to comply with specified identification procedures. Backup withholding will not apply with respect to payments made to designated exempt recipients, such as corporations and tax-exempt organizations. Backup withholding is not an additional tax and may be claimed as a credit against the U.S. federal income tax liability of a U.S. Holder, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

Under the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment Act of 2010 (the “HIRE Act”), some payments made after December 31, 2012 to “foreign financial institutions” in respect of accounts of U.S. stockholders at such financial institutions may be subject to withholding at a rate of 30%. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of the HIRE Act on their ownership and disposition of our common stock. See “Non-U.S. Holders of Ordinary Shares.”

Non-U.S. Holders of Ordinary Shares

Except as provided below, an individual, corporation, estate or trust that is not a U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax on the payment of dividends on, and the proceeds from the disposition of, our Ordinary Shares.

A non-U.S. Holder may be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax on a dividend paid on our Ordinary Shares or the proceeds from the disposition of our Ordinary Shares if: (i) such item is effectively connected with the conduct by the non-U.S. Holder of a trade or business in the United States or, in the case of a non-U.S. Holder that is a resident of a country which has an income tax treaty with the United States, such item is attributable to a permanent establishment or, in the case of gain realized by an individual non-U.S. Holder, a fixed place of business in the United States; (ii) in the case of a disposition of our Ordinary Shares, the individual non-U.S. Holder is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the sale and other specified conditions are met; (iii) the non-U.S. Holder is subject to U.S. federal income tax pursuant to the provisions of the U.S. tax law applicable to U.S. expatriates.

In general, non-U.S. Holders will not be subject to backup withholding with respect to the payment of dividends on our Ordinary Shares if payment is made through a paying agent, or office of a foreign broker outside the United States. However, if payment is made in the United States or by a U.S. related person, non-U.S. Holders may be subject to backup withholding, unless the non-U.S. Holder provides on an applicable Form W-8 (or a substantially similar form) a taxpayer identification number, certifies to its foreign status, or otherwise establishes an exemption. A U.S. related person for these purposes is a person with one or more current relationships with the United States.

The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a non-U.S. Holder will be allowed as a credit against such holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

The HIRE Act may impose withholding taxes on some types of payments made to “foreign financial institutions” and some other non-U.S. entities. Under the HIRE Act, the failure to comply with additional certification, information reporting and other specified requirements could result in withholding tax being imposed on payments of dividends and sales proceeds to U.S. Holders that own Ordinary Shares through foreign accounts or foreign intermediaries and specified non-U.S. Holders. The HIRE Act imposes a 30% withholding tax on dividends on, and gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, Ordinary Shares paid from the United States to a foreign financial institution or to a foreign nonfinancial entity, unless (i) the foreign financial institution undertakes specified diligence and reporting obligations or (ii) the foreign nonfinancial entity either certifies it does not have any substantial U.S. owners or furnishes identifying information regarding each substantial U.S. owner. In addition, if the payee is a foreign financial institution, it generally must enter into an agreement with the U.S. Treasury that requires, among other things, that it undertake to identify accounts held by specified U.S. persons or U.S.-owned foreign entities, annually report certain information about such accounts, and withhold 30% on payments to other specified account holders. The HIRE Act applies to payments made after December 31, 2012. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the HIRE Act.
 
Item 11. Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosure about Market Risk.
 
We develop our technology in Israel and seek to provide our services worldwide. As a result, our foreign currency exposures give rise to market risk associated with exchange rate movements of the U.S. dollar, our functional and reporting currency, against the NIS and Euro. We are exposed to the risk of fluctuation in the U.S. dollar/NIS and the U.S. dollar/Euro exchange rate. Our shekel-denominated expenses consist principally of salaries and related personnel expenses, as well as vehicle lease payments. Although the majority of our revenues are in US dollars, a substantial portion of our sales are derived from the Euro currency. Neither a ten percent increase nor decrease in current exchange rates would have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements in the next six months.

Due to the fact that we do not have any material debt, we have concluded that there is currently no material interest market risk exposure.
 
Therefore, no quantitative tabular disclosures are provided.
 
Item 12. Description of Securities Other than Equity Securities.
 
The Company does not have any outstanding American Depositary Shares or American Depositary Receipts.

None.
 
Item 14. Material Modifications to the Rights of Security Holders and Use of Proceeds.
 
None.
 
Item 15. Controls and Procedures.
 
(a) As of December 31, 2010, we performed an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and our management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of December 31, 2010, to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in filings and submissions under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information related to us and our consolidated subsidiary is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions about required disclosure.
 
(b) and (c) Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Security Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

 
48

 
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements and even when determined to be effective can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial statements. Also projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
Our management assessed our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010. Our assessment of and conclusion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting did not include the internal controls of the antivirus business of Authentium Inc. acquired on September 3, 2010, which is included in our 2010 consolidated financial statements. Our management based its assessment on criteria established in Internal Control- Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organization of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, our management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2010, our internal control over financial reporting is effective.
 
(d) Our independent registered public accounting firm, Kost, Forer, Gabbay & Kasierer, a member of Ernst & Young Global, independently assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Kost, Forer, Gabbay & Kasierer,  has issued an attestation report in respect of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, which is included under Item 18 on page F-3 of this annual report.  We note that this report is provided voluntarily for 2010, as non-accelerated filers are not required to include it in their Form 20-F filing.
 
(e) During the period covered by this annual report on Form 20-F, there were no  changes to our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
Item 16A. Audit Committee Financial Expert.
 
The Board of Directors of the Company has determined that Mr. Yair Shamir, a member of the Audit Committee, is an audit committee financial expert as that term is defined in Item 16A of Form 20-F and is independent as that term is defined in NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(a)(2).
 
Item 16B. Code of Ethics.
 
The Company, by way of Board of Directors resolution, has adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to its senior financial officers, including its principal executive, financial and accounting officers.  The Code of Ethics is posted on the Company’s website at www.commtouch.com, under the link “Investor relations documents” on the “investor relations” page.
 
Item 16C. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.  
 
Kost, Forer, Gabbay & Kasierer, a member of Ernst & Young Global, has served as our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for each of the fiscal years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2010, for which audited financial statements appear in this annual report on Form 20-F. The following table presents the aggregate fees for professional and other services rendered by Kost, Forer, Gabbay & Kasierer for 2010 and 2009:

(1) Audit fees consist of fees billed for the annual audit services engagement and other audit services, which are those services that only the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm can reasonably provide, and include the group audit including statutory audits; consents; attest services; and assistance in connection with documents filed with the SEC. These fees also include the attestation of our internal control over financial reporting.

 (2) Tax fees and other include fees billed for tax compliance services, including the preparation of original and amended tax returns and claims for refund; tax consultations, such as assistance and representation in connection with tax audits and appeals, transfer pricing, and requests for rulings or technical advice from taxing authority; and tax planning services.

Audit Committee Pre-approval Policies and Procedures

Below is a summary of our current Policies and Procedures:
 
The main role of the Company’s audit committee is to assist the Board of Directors in fulfilling its responsibility for oversight of the quality and integrity of the accounting, auditing and reporting practices of the Company. The Audit Committee oversees the appointment, compensation, and oversight of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm engaged to prepare or issue an audit report on the financial statements of the Company. The audit committee’s specific responsibilities in carrying out its oversight role include the approval of all audit and non-audit services to be provided by the external auditor and the quarterly review of the firm’s non-audit services and related fees. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services, as described above. It is the policy of the audit committee to approve in advance the particular services or categories of services to be provided to the Company periodically. Additional services may be pre-approved by the audit committee on an individual basis during the year.  The audit committee did not avail itself of section (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X during 2007, which allows for an exemption from the pre-approval process under certain limited circumstances.
 
Item 16D. Exemptions from the Listing Standards for Audit Committees.

Not applicable.

Item 16E. Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers.

Following completion of its first Ordinary Share buyback plan during 2009 (see Item 16E of the annual report on Form 20-F filed for 2009), in March 2010, the Company announced the commencement of its second Ordinary Share buyback plan, under which the Company purchased almost $4 million worth of its Ordinary Shares through the end of 2010.  The Company completed this buyback plan in December 2010 and, in total, it expended $3.82 million to repurchase 1,030,466 Ordinary Shares at an average price of $3.82 per share.  Repurchases during 2010 are summarized in the following table:

Item 16F. Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

Not applicable.

Item 16G. Corporate Governance.

Under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5615(a)(3), foreign private issuers, such as our Company, are permitted to follow certain home country corporate governance practices instead of certain provisions of certain NASDAQ Listing Rules.   We do not comply with the following requirements of the NASDAQ Listing Rules, and instead follow Israeli law and practice with respect to such corporate governance practices:
 
NASDAQ Listing Rule 5250(d) requires that an annual report be delivered to shareholders in accordance with three alternative delivery methods set forth in the rule.  One of those delivery methods allows for the posting of the annual report on the Company’s website.  However, that method also requires that i) a prominent undertaking be posted on the website indicating that, upon request, shareholders may receive a hard copy of the annual report free of charge, and ii) simultaneous with this posting, the Company issue a press release stating that its annual report has been filed with the SEC (or other appropriate regulatory authority). This press release must also state that the annual report is available on the Company's website and include the website address and that shareholders may receive a hard copy free of charge upon request.
 
While the Company’s most current annual report on Form 20-F, inclusive of consolidated financial statements, is available on its website at www.commtouch.com, and the Company has indicated publicly that it will provide copies of that report free of charge, upon shareholder request, nevertheless the Company is not in strict compliance with the NASDAQ rule.  The Company does not include a statement on its website in the form noted above and does not issue a press release upon the posting of the annual report to its website; rather, the Company is following its home country practice (in Israel, which, in addition to the Company’s activities noted above, also enables shareholders to inspect the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements in person at its principal offices).
 
Rule 5620(c) to Nasdaq Listing Rules requires that an issuer listed on Nasdaq should have a quorum requirement that in no case be less than 33 1/3% of the outstanding shares of a company’s common voting stock.  However, the Company’s articles of association, consistent with the Companies Law, provides for a lower quorum in the event of a meeting adjourned for lack of a quorum, in which case any two shareholders entitled to vote and present in person or by proxy at such adjourned meeting shall constitute a quorum.  Our quorum requirements for an adjourned meeting do not comply with the NASDAQ requirements and we instead follow our home country practice.

 
51

 
 
As a foreign private issuer listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market, we may also follow home country practice with regard to, among other things, composition of the board of directors, director nomination process and regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.  In addition, we may follow our home country practice, instead of the NASDAQ Listing Rules, which require that we obtain shareholder approval for certain dilutive events, such as for the establishment or amendment of certain equity based compensation plans, an issuance that will result in a change of control of the company, certain transactions other than a public offering involving issuances of a 20% or more interest in the company and certain acquisitions of the stock or assets of another company. A foreign private issuer that elects to follow a home country practice instead of NASDAQ requirements, must submit to NASDAQ in advance a written statement from an independent counsel in such issuer’s home country certifying that the issuer’s practices are not prohibited by the home country’s laws. In addition, a foreign private issuer must disclose in its annual reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or on its website each such requirement that it does not follow and describe the home country practice followed by the issuer instead of any such requirement. Accordingly, our shareholders may not be afforded the same protection as provided under NASDAQ’s corporate governance rules.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

COMMTOUCH SOFTWARE LTD.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Commtouch Software Ltd. ("the Company") and its subsidiary as of December 31, 2009 and 2010, 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, 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We 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 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, 2009 and 2010, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated June 6, 2011 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

COMMTOUCH SOFTWARE LTD.

We have audited Commtouch Software Ltd.'s ("Commtouch" or the "Company") internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the "COSO criteria"). Commtouch's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit 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 effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
As indicated in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, management assessment of and conclusion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting did not include the internal controls of the antivirus business of Authentium Inc. (“antivirus business”), which is included in the Company’s 2010 consolidated financial statements and constituted $1.6 million and $0.4 million of total assets and net assets, respectively, as of December 31, 2010 and $1.1 million and $0.4 million of revenues and net income, respectively, for the year then ended. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of the Company also did not include an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of the antivirus business.
 
In our opinion, Commtouch maintained in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Commtouch and its subsidiary as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, 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, 2010 and our report dated June 6, 2011 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

c.
Acquisition of antivirus business

On September 3, 2010, the Company completed the acquisition of the assets of the antivirus business of Authentium Inc. (now known as SafeCentral Inc.), a private Florida based company providing various security software services. As a result of this transaction, the Company will generate additional revenues and be able to sell the new acquired antivirus services as additional offering to new and existing customers. The consideration in respect of the acquisition is payable as follows: $ 4,600 was paid in cash at the closing date (of which $920 is placed in escrow until 2011) and an amount of $ 3,000 in cash is a contingent consideration payable to Authentium Inc. based on the antivirus business's 2011 revenues, due in May 2012 as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement. The contingent consideration is subject to adjustments upward or downward based on the revenue derived from the purchased customer contracts. As of December 31, 2010, the fair value of the contingent consideration of $ 2,831 is presented in long term liabilities. The expenses incurred with respect of the acquisition were $ 300.

The acquisition was accounted for as a business using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805.

NOTE 2:
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

 
a.
Use of estimates:

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

 
b.
Financial statements in U. S. dollars:

A majority of the revenues of the Company and its subsidiary is generated in United States dollars ("dollars"). In addition, a substantial portion of their costs is incurred or denominated in dollars. The Company's management believes that the dollar is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company and its subsidiary operate. Thus, the dollar is their functional and reporting currency. Accordingly, monetary accounts maintained in currencies other than the dollar are remeasured into U.S. dollars, in accordance with ASC Topic 830, "Foreign Currency Matters". All transaction gains and losses of the remeasured monetary balance sheet items are reflected in the statements of operations 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. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 
d.
Cash equivalents:

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

 
e.
Short-term bank deposits:

Bank deposits with maturities of more than three months but less than one year are included in short-term bank deposits. Such short-term bank deposits are stated at cost.

f.
Investment in affiliates:

For the purposes of these financial statements, an affiliated company is a company held to the extent of 20% or more, or a company less than 20% held, in which the Company can exercise significant influence over the affiliate's operating and financial policies. If the Company lacks the ability to exercise significant influence over the affiliate's operating and financial policies, the investment should be accounted for on a cost basis.

The Company's investments are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an investment may not be recoverable. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company's investments are accounted for on a cost basis and no impairment losses have been identified.

 
g.
Property and equipment:

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

   
%
     
Computers and peripheral equipment
 
33.33
Office furniture and equipment
 
7 – 20
Motor vehicles
 
15
Leasehold improvements
 
Over the shorter of the term of the lease or the life of the assets

 
h. 
Impairment of long-lived assets:

The Company and its subsidiary's long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 360 "Property, Plant and Equipment", 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. No impairment losses were recorded in 2008 through 2010.

i.
Goodwill:

Goodwill represents excess of the costs over the net assets of businesses acquired. Under ASC 350 (formerly SFAS No. 142), "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other", goodwill acquired in a business combination should not be amortized. ASC 350 requires goodwill to be tested for impairment at least annually or between annual tests in certain circumstances, and written down when impaired, rather than being amortized as previous accounting standards required. Goodwill is allocated to one reporting unit and fair values are determined using market capitalization. In 2010, no impairment losses were identified.

 
j. 
Intangible assets:

Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method for a period of six-ten years.

During 2008, 2009 and 2010, no impairment losses have been identified.

 
k.
Fair value measurements

Concurrently with the adoption of ASC 820, the Company adopted ASC Topic 825, "Financial Instruments," ("ASC 825") which permits entities to elect, at specified election dates, to measure eligible financial instruments at fair value. As of December 31, 2009 and 2010, the Company did not elect the fair value option under ASC 825 for any financial assets and liabilities that were not previously measured at fair value.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, trade receivables, prepaid expenses, other accounts receivable and accounts payable, approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities of financial instruments.

 
l.
Revenue recognition:

The Company derives revenues from Anti-Spam, Command Antivirus, Zero-Hour Virus Outbreak Protection, GlobalView Mail Reputation, GlobalView URL filtering Services and Command Antivirus.  The service component of the Company's solutions is considered essential to the functionality of the software components. Furthermore, the software components cannot be effectively used on a standalone basis, or with a third party's service. The customer has no ability to effectively run the software or the Software Development Kit ("SDK") on its own hardware. As the software portion of the solution cannot effectively stand on its own, the Company considers each sale as a service arrangement.

NOTE 2:-
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

Therefore, revenues from such services are recognized over the service term, which generally includes a term period of one to three years.

Revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC 605 – 25 "Revenue Recognition" and Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 13, when the earnings process is complete, as evidenced by an agreement between the customer and the Company, when delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, when the fee is fixed or determinable and when collectability is probable.

Deferred revenues include unearned amounts received from customers, but not yet recognized as revenues.

 
m.
Research and development costs:

ASC 985-20, "Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased or Marketed", requires capitalization of certain software development costs subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility.

Based on the Company's product development process, technological feasibility is established upon completion of a working model. Costs incurred by the Company between completion of the working models and the point at which the products are ready for general release, have been insignificant. Therefore, all research and development costs have been expensed.

 
n.
Government grants:

Royalty-bearing grants from the Government of Israel for funding certain approved research and development projects are recognized at the time the Company is entitled to such grants, on the basis of the related costs incurred and recorded as a deduction of research and development costs. Research and development grants from the Government of Israel amounted to $ 774, $ 263 and $ 0 in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively

 
o.
Concentrations of credit risk:

The Company and its subsidiary have no significant off-balance-sheet concentration of credit risk.

 
F-15

 

COMMTOUCH SOFTWARE LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARY
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
U.S. dollars in thousands, except share and per share data

NOTE 2:-
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of trade receivables and cash and cash equivalents. The majority of the Company's short-term deposits and cash and cash equivalents are invested in dollars and dollar linked investments and are deposited in major banks in the United States and Israel. Such investments 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 Company's investments are institutions with high credit standing, and accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to these investments.

The trade receivables of the Company are derived from transactions with companies located primarily in North America, Europe, Israel and Asia. An allowance for doubtful accounts is determined with respect to those amounts that the Company and its subsidiary have determined to be doubtful of collection. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $0 and $ 45 at December 31, 2009 and 2010 respectively. Bad debt expense for each of the years ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 was $ 0, $0 and $ 77, respectively.

 
p.
Accounting for stock-based compensation:

ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of equity-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods in the Company's consolidated income statements.

The Company applies ASC 718, and ASC 505-50, "Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees" ("ASC 505-50"), with respect to options and warrants issued to non-employees. ASC 718 requires the use of an option valuation model to measure the fair value of the options and warrants at the measurement date as defined in ASC 505-50.

The Company recognizes compensation expense for the value of its awards on a straight line basis over the requisite service period of each of the awards, net of estimated forfeitures. Estimated forfeitures are based on actual historical pre-vesting forfeitures. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The option-pricing model requires a number of assumptions, of which the most significant are the expected stock price volatility and the expected option term. Expected volatility was calculated based upon actual historical stock price movements. The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield from U.S. treasury bonds with an equivalent term. The Company has historically not paid dividends and has no foreseeable plans to pay dividends.

q.
Basic and diluted net earnings per share:

Basic and diluted net earnings per share are presented in accordance with ASC Topic 260, "Earnings per Share", for all periods presented.

Basic net earnings per share have been computed using the weighted-average number of Ordinary Shares outstanding during the year. Diluted net earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of Ordinary Shares outstanding during each year, plus the weighted average number of dilutive potential Ordinary Shares considered outstanding during the year.

In 2008, 2009 and 2010, the difference between the denominator of basic and diluted net earnings per share is due to the effect of dilutive securities for stock options and warrants. In 2008, 2009 and 2010 1,563,038, 2,584,732 and 1,211,247, respectively, weighted average number of shares related to options and warrants outstanding were excluded from calculation of the diluted earnings per share since they would have an anti-dilutive effect.

 
r.
Severance pay:

The Company's liability for severance pay in Israel is calculated pursuant to Israel's Severance Pay Law based on the most recent salary of the employees multiplied by the number of years of employment as of the balance sheet date. Employees are entitled to one month's salary for each year of employment or a portion thereof. The Company's obligation for all of its Israeli employees is fully provided by monthly deposits with severance pay funds and insurance policies, and by an accrual. The value of those funds and policies is recorded as an asset in the Company's balance sheet.

The deposited funds include profits and losses accumulated up to the balance sheet date. The deposited funds may be withdrawn only upon the fulfillment of the obligation pursuant to Israel's Severance Pay Law or labor agreements. The value of the deposited funds is based on the cash surrendered value of these policies.

Treasury shares:

The Company repurchases its Ordinary Shares from time to time on the open market and holds such shares as Treasury shares. The Company presents the cost to repurchase Treasury shares as a reduction in shareholders' equity.

 
t.
Income taxes:

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, "Income Taxes" ("ASC 740"). ASC 740  prescribes the use of the liability method whereby deferred tax asset and liability account balances are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company provides a valuation allowance, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts more likely than not to be realized.

Deferred tax assets are classified as current or non-current based on the classification of the related asset or liability for financial reporting, or according to the expected reversal dates of the specific temporary differences if not related to an asset or liability for financial reporting.

ASC 740 contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring a liability for uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that, on an evaluation of the technical merits, the tax position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. No liability for unrecognized tax benefits was recorded as a result of the implementation of ASC 740.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements:

ASU 2009-13 - In October 2009, the FASB issued amendments to the accounting and disclosure for revenue recognition of multiple deliverable revenue arrangements codified in ASC 605-25. These amendments modify the criteria for recognizing revenue in multiple element arrangements and require companies to develop a best estimate of the selling price to separate deliverables and allocate arrangement consideration using the relative selling price method. Additionally, the amendments eliminate the residual method for allocating arrangement considerations. These amendments establish a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable, which is based on: a) vendor-specific objective evidence; b) third-party evidence; or c) estimates. In addition, this guidance significantly expands required disclosures related to a vendor's multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. ASU 2009-13 is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The Company has not early adopted the guidance. Management believes that the adoption of the new guidance will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 
v.
Adoption of new accounting standards during the period:

ASU 2010-06 - In January 2010, the FASB updated the "Fair Value Measurements Disclosures" codified in ASC 820. More specifically, this update require (a) an entity to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 fair value measurements and to describe the reasons for the transfers; and (b) information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements to be presented separately (i.e. present the activity on a gross basis rather than net) in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs). This update clarifies existing disclosure requirements for the level of disaggregation used for classes of assets and liabilities measured at fair value, and requires disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements using Level 2 and Level 3 inputs. As applicable to the Company, this update became effective as of the first quarter ended December 31, 2010, except for the gross presentation of the Level 3 roll forward information, which is required for annual reporting of December 31, 2010. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In return for the OCS's participation, the Company is committed to pay royalties at a rate of 3% of sales of the developed product, up to 100% of the amount of grants received (100% plus interest at LIBOR). The Company's total commitment for royalties payable with respect to future sales, based on OCS participations received or accrued, net of royalties paid or accrued, totaled approximately $ 1,025 as of December 31, 2010. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the amounts of $ 0 and $ 17, respectively, were recorded as cost of revenues with respect to royalties due to the OCS.

SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

 
a.
General:

The Ordinary Shares of the Company have been traded on the Nasdaq National Market  (now known as the Nasdaq Global Market) and Nasdaq Capital Market (formerly The NASDAQ SmallCap Market), since July 1999 and 2002, respectively.

On December 16, 2009, the Company's Ordinary Shares became listed for trading publicly on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, or "TASE", thus making the Company a "dual listed" company.

The Ordinary Shares confer upon their holders the right to receive notice to participate and vote in general shareholder meetings of the Company and to receive dividends, if declared. In January 2008, the Board of Directors and shareholders approved a 3:1 reverse stock split of the Company's share capital. As a result of this action, every three shares (including all authorized, issued and outstanding shares and all outstanding warrants and options to purchase shares) were combined into one share of the same respective class of shares bearing a par value of NIS 0.15 each.

Employee stock options:

In 1996, the Company adopted the 1996 CSI Stock Option Plan for granting options to its U.S. employees and consultants to purchase Ordinary Shares of the Company, which was replaced in 2006 by the 2006 U.S. Stock Option Plan. Until 1999, the Company issued options to purchase Ordinary Shares to its Israeli employees pursuant to individual agreements. In 1999, the Company approved the 1999 Section 3(i) share option plan for its Israeli employees and consultants, (which was amended in 2003 and renamed the "Amended and Restated Israeli Share Option Plan"). As of December 31, 2010, an aggregate of 2,017,585 Ordinary Shares of the Company are still available for future grant to employees and directors.

Options granted under such plans and agreements up to September 2005, expire generally after ten years from the date of grant, with grants from September 2005 having six-year terms from the date of grant. Options cease vesting upon termination of the optionee's employment or other relationship with the Company. The options generally vest over a period of four years. The exercise price of the options granted under the individual agreements may not be less than the nominal value of the shares into which such options are exercisable.

Non-employee directors stock option plan:

In 1999, the Company adopted the 1999 Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan, and in 2008 shareholders approved an extension of the term of this plan through July 13, 2019. The original allotment of shares to this plan was 1,263,333. On December 15, 2006, the Company combined the remaining pool of options in the employee stock option plans reserve with the amount of options remaining in the Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan reserve.

Since the annual meeting of shareholders in 2003 and up until December 31, 2008, new directors joining the Board are entitled to an option grant of 50,000 Ordinary Shares. Directors who are re-elected at the annual meeting of shareholders are entitled to additional grants of 16,667 options, though at the annual meeting held October 26, 2009 shareholders approved a one-time increase in the grants to re-elected directors to 30,000 options.

Each option granted under the Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan becomes exercisable at a rate of 1/16th of the shares every three months. Each option has an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Ordinary Shares on the grant date of such option. Until September 2005, each option granted had a maximum term of ten years, but since September 2005, the term of granted options is six years. Options will terminate earlier if the optionee ceases to be a member of the Board of Directors.

Corporate tax structure:

The rate of the Israeli corporate tax is as follows: 2008 - 27%, 2009 - 26%, 2010 - 25%.  Tax at a reduced rate of 25% applies on capital gains arising after January 1, 2003, instead of the regular tax rate. In July 2009, the "Knesset" (Israeli Parliament) passed the Law for Economic Efficiency (Amended Legislation for Implementing the Economic Plan for 2009 and 2010), which prescribes, among others, an additional gradual reduction in the rates of the Israeli corporate tax and real capital gains tax starting in 2011 to the following tax rates: 2011 - 24%, 2012 - 23%, 2013 - 22%, 2014 - 21%, 2015 - 20%, 2016 and thereafter - 18%.

In December 2010, the "Knesset" (Israeli Parliament) passed the Law for Economic Efficiency for 2011 and 2012 (Amended Legislation), 2011, which prescribes, among others, amendments in the Investment Law. The amendment became effective as of January 1, 2011. According to the amendment, the benefit tracks in the Investment Law were modified and a flat tax rate applies to the Company's entire preferred income. The Company will be able to apply (the waiver is non-recourse) the amendment and from then on it will be subject to the amended tax rates that are: 2011 and 2012 - 15%, 2013 and 2014 - 12.5% and in 2015 and thereafter - 12%.

The Company is not in development area A. The Company is examining the possible effect of the amendment on the financial statements, if at all, and has not yet decided whether to apply the amendment.

Tax benefits under Israel's Law for the Encouragement of Industry (Taxation), 1969:

The Company may currently qualify as an "industrial company" within the definition of the Law for the Encouragement of Industry (Taxation), as such, it may be eligible for certain tax benefits, including, inter alia, special depreciation rates for machinery, equipment and buildings, amortization of patents, certain other intangible property rights and deduction of share issuance expenses.

 
c.
Net operating loss carryforwards:

As of December 31, 2010, the Company's net operating loss carryforwards for tax purposes amounted to approximately $ 80,000 (including capital loss carry forward of     $ 16,000) which may be carried forward and offset against taxable income in the future, for an indefinite period.

As of December 31, 2010, for federal income tax purposes, the U.S. subsidiary had net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $ 92,000. These losses may offset any future U.S. taxable income of the U.S. subsidiary and will expire in the years 2012 through 2025.

Utilization of U.S. net operating losses may be subject to substantial annual limitation due to the "change in ownership" provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and similar state provisions. The annual limitations may result in the expiration of net operating losses before utilization.

Management currently believes that since the Company has history of losses it is more likely than not that some of the deferred tax assets regarding the loss carry forwards will not be utilized in the foreseeable future. Thus, a valuation allowance was provided to reduce deferred tax assets to their realizable value.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITOR

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
COMMTOUCH SOFTWARE LTD.


We have audited the accompanying special purpose statement of attributable direct revenues and expenses, and the statement of assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Authentium Inc.  ("the Company") antivirus business line ("antivirus business line") as of and for the year ended December 31, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Our audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of the antivirus business line as of December 31, 2009, and the attributable direct revenues and direct expenses for the year then ended , in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

1           Background and Basis of Presentation

Background

On September 3, 2010, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Commtouch Software Inc., entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement ("APA") with Authentium, Inc. ("Authentium"), pursuant to which the Company's subsidiary agreed to acquire the assets of the antivirus business line (the "Product Line") of Authentium (the "Acquisition"), a private Florida-based company, for $ 4.6 million in cash and contingent cash payment estimated to be $ 3 million (fair value of $ 2.8 million as of acquisition date), payable in 2012, based on future revenue performance of the business acquired in 2011. Pursuant to the APA, the Company acquired the intellectual property rights (technology), research and development personnel, certain sales personnel, customer contracts, certain fixed assets and deferred revenues of the Product Line.

Commtouch develops and provides messaging and web security solutions to OEM partners and enterprises. The Company's business is to develop and sell these solutions to various customers through a variety of third party distribution channels.

Prior to the Acquisition, the Product Line operated as a part of Authentium. The Product Line was not a legal entity or a stand-alone business and Authentium did not account for the Product Line as a separate entity, subsidiary or division of its business.


Basis of Presentation of Special Purpose Financial Statements

The accompanying special purpose financial statements have been prepared from the historical accounting records of the Product Line and present the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as of December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2010, and the direct revenues and expenses attributable to the Product Line for the year ended December 31, 2009 and for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 pursuant to the APA, including allocations of certain expenses based upon selected criteria.  US GAAP financial statements were not previously prepared for the Product Line as it had no separate legal status.  Furthermore, there was no general ledger for the Product Line on a stand-alone basis and neither complete balance sheets nor complete balance sheet detail had been prepared for it. Cash management functions were part of the Authentium organization and were not performed within the Product Line. Based on the foregoing and since only certain assets of the Product Line have been acquired and certain liabilities assumed, statements of operations and cash flows are not applicable. As a result, full audited financial statements are not provided.
 
The accompanying statements of direct revenues and expenses were prepared to present the net revenues and direct operating costs attributable to the Product Line.  The statements of direct revenues and expenses do not include interest expense and corporate overhead expenses, as these expenses were determined at the consolidated level of Authentium and it is not practical to isolate or allocate such expenses and income to the Product Line.  Management believes the assumptions and allocations underlying the statement of assets to be sold and liabilities to be assumed and the related statements of attributable  direct revenues and expenses are reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances.
 
Management believes that the substantial efforts involved with performing an assessment for full US GAAP-conformant financial statements is not commensurate with the limited potential benefit to be derived by Commtouch's investors.  Limiting the financial information as presented to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed decreases the required efforts without unduly decreasing the value of the information to Commtouch's investors.
 
 
FF-5

 
 
 
 
As a result, the accompanying special purpose financial statements are not intended to be a complete presentation of the Product Line's results of operations and financial position and they do not purport to reflect the revenues and direct operating expenses that would have resulted if the Product Line had operated as an unaffiliated independent business.   Consequently, future results of operations after the separation of the Product Line from Authentium will include costs and expenses to operate as a business unit of Commtouch, and these costs and expenses as well as revenues may be materially different than the historical results of operations and financial position.  Accordingly, the financial statements of the Product Line for these periods are not indicative of future results and the financial position of Commtouch inclusive of the Product Line.
 
 
2           Accounting policies and new accounting standards

Accounting policies

The special purpose financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (US GAAP). Historical cost is used as the measurement basis unless otherwise indicated.

Use of estimates

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

Information by Segment and Main countries

Authentium has various product offerings: antivirus and antimalware, multifunction consumer security suites and security software products and services. Consequently, no segment information is available at the Product Line level and it is not practical to prepare segment information at the Product Line level. Hence, segment information relating to the Product Line is omitted from the special purpose financial statements.

Foreign currencies

A majority of the revenues and substantially all expenses of the Company are generated in United States dollars ("dollars"). The Company's management believes that the dollar is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates. Thus, the dollar is their functional and reporting currency. Accordingly, monetary accounts maintained in currencies other than the dollar are remeasured into U.S. dollars, in accordance with ASC Topic 830, "Foreign Currency Matters". All transaction gains and losses of the remeasured monetary balance sheet items are reflected in the statements of operations as financial income or expenses, as appropriate.

Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation, using the accelerated method over the respective estimated useful lives of the assets.

 
FF-6

 
 
 
 
Impairment of long-lived assets

The Product Line's long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 360 "Property, Plant and Equipment", whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverabililty 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. For the year ended December 31, 2009 and for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, no impairment losses have been identified.

Research and development
 
Research and development costs incurred in the process of developing new products or product improvements, are charged to expense as incurred.

Advertising

Advertising costs are expensed when incurred.

Revenue recognition
 
The Company derives revenues from antivirus and antimalware services. The service component of the Company's solutions is considered essential to the functionality of the software components. Furthermore, the software component cannot be effectively used on a standalone basis, or with a third party's service. The customer has no ability to effectively run the software or the Software Development Kit ("SDK") on its own hardware. As the software portion of the product cannot effectively stand on its own, the Company considers each sale as a service arrangement.

Therefore, revenues from such services are recognized over the service term, which generally includes a term period of one to three years.

Revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC 605 - 25, "Revenue Recognition" and Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 13, when the earnings process is complete, as evidenced by an agreement between the customer and the Company, when delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, when the fee is fixed or determinable and when collectability is probable.

Deferred revenues include unearned amounts received from customers, but not yet recognized as revenues.

Share based compensation

ASC 718, "Share - Based Payment" requires companies to estimate the fair value of equity-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods of the Product Line's Statement of Attributable Direct Revenues and Expenses.

The Product Line recognizes compensation expense for the value of its awards on a straight line basis over the requisite service period of each of the awards, net of estimated forfeitures. Estimated forfeitures are based on actual historical pre-vesting forfeitures. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The option-pricing model requires a number of assumptions, of which the most significant are the expected stock price volatility and the expected option term. Expected volatility was derived from companies with similar behavior. The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield from U.S. treasury bonds with an equivalent term. The Company has historically not paid dividends and has no foreseeable plans to pay dividends.
 
 
FF-7

 
 

 
The fair value for options granted in the Product Line in 2009 and for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 is estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes options pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

The share based compensation recorded in the Product Line was $41, $21 and $21 for the year ended December 31, 2009 and for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 (unaudited), respectively.


Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements


ASU 2009-13 - In October 2009, the FASB issued amendments to the accounting and disclosure for revenue recognition of multiple deliverable revenue arrangements codified in ASC 605-25. These amendments modify the criteria for recognizing revenue in multiple element arrangements and require companies to develop a best estimate of the selling price to separate deliverables and allocate arrangement consideration using the relative selling price method. Additionally, the amendments eliminate the residual method for allocating arrangement considerations. These amendments establish a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable, which is based on: a) vendor-specific objective evidence; b) third-party evidence; or c) estimates. In addition, this guidance significantly expands required disclosures related to a vendor's multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. ASU 2009-13 is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The Company has not early adopted the guidance. Management believes that the adoption of the new guidance will not have a material impact on its financial statements.

3           Shared services with Authentium


The Product Line participates in shared services with other product lines of Authentium in areas such as:

·           Hosting and network operations services and personnel
·           Leased facilities and equipment

The costs of these services for the year ended December 31, 2009 and for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009  were allocated to  the Product Line either based on the revenues recognized by the Product Line as a proportion of total revenues recognized by Authentium, or based on the headcount of the Product Line as a proportion of the total  headcount of Authentium.

Authentium incurred certain interest and corporate overhead expenses to support the Product Line that were not allocated and due to the shared nature of such expenses could not be readily identified.  As these amounts are not specifically identifiable and there was no methodology utilized by Authentium for allocating these expenses to the Product Line, such expenses are not recorded in these financial statements.

4           Concentration of risk

The Product line's sales are for a large part dependent on a limited number of customers, of which one individually exceeds 10% of total revenue. This customer accounted for 35% in 2009 (and 36% and 29%  for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively). No other customers individually account for more than 10% of total Product Line revenues.

Exhibit 4.7
 
SUMMARY OF DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

The following is a summary of the currently effective compensation of the non-employee directors of Commtouch Software Ltd. (the “Company”) for services as directors:

 
·
Directors are granted stock options, with new directors receiving an initial grant of 50,000 options and continuing directors receiving an “evergreen” option grant of 16,667 options.  At the annual meeting in October 2009, shareholders approved a one-time increase of the evergreen option grant to 30,000 options.
 
·
Through 2008, directors did not receive cash compensation for their services.  However, at the annual meeting in December 2008, shareholders approved the payment of cash compensation, in addition to the stated options compensation, according to the following:
 
 
1.
NIS 31,700 base annually per director, as linked to the applicable Israeli consumer price index, payable in four equal installments at the beginning of each calendar quarter; and
 
2.
NIS 1,590 per director per face to face Board or committee meeting or NIS954 (60% of NIS 1590) in case of telephonic participation at such meeting, payable at the beginning of each calendar quarter following the quarter during which a Board member participated in a meeting. No separate per meeting compensation will be paid for committee meetings that are held on the same day immediately prior or subsequent to a Board meeting.  In that event, a Board and committee meeting will be considered one meeting.
 
3.
For non-Israeli based directors, the amounts set forth will be paid in United States dollars, according to the representative rate of exchange published by the Bank of Israel on the date of payment.
 
Other than the foregoing option grants, cash compensation and reimbursement of expenses, the Company does not compensate its directors for serving on its board of directors.

Unless this Agreement is earlier terminated pursuant to Section 8.1, the closing of the Transaction (the "Closing") will take place as promptly as practicable, but no earlier than the next Business Day after the Company first makes its regularly scheduled payroll payment to the employees of the Business following satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article 6, at the offices of the Company at 7121 Fairway Drive, Suite 102, Palm Beach Gardens, Florida 33418, unless another place or time is agreed to by the Purchaser and the Company.  The date upon which the Closing actually occurs is herein referred to as the "Closing Date."
 
1.5         Purchase Price; Closing.

1.7         Earnout PaymentIn addition to the Base Purchase Price, promptly following the completion of the Purchaser's audited financial statements for the calendar year ending December 31, 2011 (the "Earnout Period"), the Purchaser will pay the Company an aggregate amount of three million four hundred thousand United States Dollars (US $3,400,000) (the "Earnout Payment"), subject to adjustment as provided below in this Section 1.7
 
(a)           For purposes of calculating revenues under this Section 1.7 (but not for purposes of keeping the Purchaser's books), (i) only the Purchaser's revenues from the OEM Agreements as reflected in the Purchaser’s financial statements shall be utilized or taken into account, and (ii) the Purchaser shall recognize revenue in accordance with GAAP as in effect as of the Closing Date.  To the extent that the Purchaser Auditors propose to recognize revenue on any of the OEM Agreements differently than the Company has recognized revenue on such OEM Agreement, the Purchaser Auditors shall consult with the Company Auditors regarding such change, provided that (y) notwithstanding such consultation, the decision of the Purchaser Auditors regarding such recognition shall be final and binding on the Company, and (z) the maximum reduction in the Earnout Payment attributable to the manner in which the Purchaser Auditors recognize revenue on the OEM Agreement identified in Section 1.7(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule shall not exceed the amount listed in Section 1.7(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.
 
(b)           The Purchaser is obliged to provide services to OEM customers for whom deferred revenues were previously recognized and payments already received by the Company, as specified in Section 1.7(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.  These deferred revenues shall not be deemed to be revenues recognized during the Earnout Period, and shall not otherwise be utilized or taken into account in any manner, in relation to the calculation of the Earnout Payment.  The adjustment to the Earnout Payment shall be calculated as follows:
 
(i)           If the aggregate annual revenues recognized from the OEM Agreements in the Purchaser's audited financial statements for the Earnout Period are less than three million four hundred thousand United States Dollars (US $3,400,000), then the Earnout Payment will be reduced by US $2.00 for every US $1.00 of shortfall (below US $3,400,000) in aggregate 2011 annual revenues recognized by the Purchaser from the OEM Agreements; however, notwithstanding the foregoing, if the aggregate annual revenues recognized by the Purchaser during 2011 from the OEM Agreements are two million three hundred thousand United States Dollars (US $2,300,000) or less, then the Earnout Payment shall be reduced to zero.
 
(ii)           If the aggregate annual revenues recognized from the OEM Agreements in the Purchaser's audited financial statements for the Earnout Period exceed four million United States Dollars (US $4,000,000), then the Earnout Payment shall be increased by US $0.50 for each US $1.00 of excess (above US $4,000,000) in aggregate 2011 annual revenues recognized by the Purchaser from the OEM Agreements.
 
(c)           Upon reasonable request of the Company during the Earnout Period, but in no event more than quarterly during such period, the Purchaser shall provide to the Company a report and reasonable supporting detail showing the revenue recognized for each of the OEM Agreements from the beginning of the Earnout Period and until the end of the calendar quarter immediately preceding the date of such report.
 
(d)           The Purchaser shall present its Earnout Payment calculation (the "Earnout Payment Calculation") to the Company no later than March 31, 2012 in a written statement setting forth the calculations and supporting information (for each of the OEM Agreements) in such reasonable detail as to permit the Company to review and confirm the accuracy of the Earnout Payment Calculation.
 
(e)           Upon receipt of the Earnout Payment Calculation, the Company shall have the right to review and confirm or dispute the accuracy of such calculations.  The Purchaser shall provide the Company, its legal counsel, and its financial advisors with reasonable access, subject to appropriate confidentiality restrictions, to such books and records (at the location such books and records are regularly kept, which may be in Israel; provided that, if requested by the Company, the Purchaser will make such books and records available via secure email transmission to the Company or via a secure online data room), as may be reasonably necessary to enable the Company, its legal counsel, and its financial advisors to review and verify such calculations.  If the Company notifies the Purchaser of its confirmation of the Earnout Payment Calculation, or if the Company does not notify the Purchaser of a disagreement with the calculations set forth in the Earnout Payment Calculation in writing within forty-five (45) days after receipt of the Earnout Payment Calculation, the Earnout Payment Calculation will become final.
 
 
- 5 -

 
 
(f)           If the Company disagrees with the calculations set forth in the Earnout Payment Calculation, the Company shall notify the Purchaser of such disagreement in writing within forty-five (45) calendar days after receipt of the Earnout Payment Calculation, which notice shall set forth the amount and nature of the disagreement in reasonable detail.
 
(i)           If the Purchaser does not accept the position of the Company or otherwise negotiate a settlement within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of such written notice by the Company, then the Company shall have the right to require a final and binding determination by submission of the disputed accounting and calculation issues to a mutually agreeable neutral accountant (the "Neutral Accountant") selected by the parties.  If the parties cannot agree on a Neutral Accountant within ten (10) calendar days, the Purchaser Auditors and Company Auditors shall select the Neutral Accountant.  The final determination of the Neutral Accountant shall fall within the range of difference between the Earnout Payment Calculations provided by the Purchaser and the amounts proposed by the Company.
 
(ii)           If the final determination by the Neutral Accountant as to the amount of any change or correction of the Earnout Payment Calculation is not more than eighty thousand United States Dollars (US $80,000) greater in favor of the Company than the Earnout Payment Calculation provided by the Purchaser (or, if greater, the last settlement offer made by the Purchaser), then the costs and fees of such dispute resolution shall be borne solely by the Company.  Otherwise, if the final determination results in a net change or correction which is more than eighty thousand United States Dollars (US $80,000) in favor of the Company than the Earnout Payment Calculation provided by the Purchaser (or, if greater, the last settlement offer made by the Purchaser), then the costs and fees of such dispute resolution shall be borne solely by the Purchaser.
 
(g)           The Purchaser shall pay 80% of the amount due to the Company as shown on the Earnout Payment Calculation concurrent with delivery of the Earnout Payment Calculation, and the Purchaser shall pay the remaining 20% on the earlier of (i) the date that is fifty (50) days following the delivery of the Earnout Payment Calculation, and (ii) five (5) days following notification to the Purchaser by the Company that it agrees with the Earnout Payment Calculation and waives its right under Section 1.7(f) to dispute the Earnout Payment Calculation; provided, however, that if the Earnout Payment Calculation is disputed, the Purchaser shall not be required to pay the remaining 20% until a final determination, and in such case the Purchaser shall pay the amount finally determined to be due within fifteen (15) calendar days of a final determination in accordance with this Section 1.7.

(c)                 The Company will, promptly following the completion of its audited financial statements as of December 31 of each of 2008 and 2009, and the related audited consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the fiscal years then ended, but in any event no later than December 31, 2010, provide a copy of such financial statements to the Purchaser, in each case including the notes thereto and the report of the Company's independent accountants with respect thereto.
 
5.11       Information Technology Access .  In order to facilitate the prompt integration following the Closing into the Purchaser's systems of the Company's information technology ("IT") inventory related to the Business (including, without limitation, voice and data network services and software and hardware, financial/accounting software, licenses to the foregoing, and IT budgets), the Company shall provide the Purchaser and its Representatives with access to the Company's IT inventory, and the Company personnel responsible for such IT inventory.  Because of the substantial lead time that may be required to order and install new software and hardware to integrate the Company's IT systems with the Purchaser's, and the importance of a smooth integration of such IT systems promptly after the Closing, the Company agrees that the Purchaser may order in the Purchaser's name any new IT services, hardware and software that the Purchaser believes will be needed at the Company's facilities in order to integrate the Purchaser's and the Company's respective operations following the Closing.  The Company shall cooperate with the Purchaser in the installation of such IT systems, hardware and software prior to and in anticipation of the Closing, including providing the Purchaser with reasonable access to and use of appropriate Company personnel.  For clarity, it is the intent of the Purchaser and the Company not to connect any of the ordered services or systems prior to the Closing.  The Purchaser and the Company agree to cooperate with each other to minimize any potential disruption to the Company's business from the IT integration efforts; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall not have any Liability to the Company for any such disruption or as may otherwise result from the IT integration efforts, except as may be directly caused by the Purchaser's gross negligence or willful misconduct.  If the Closing does not occur, other than because of the Company's breach of this Agreement, the Purchaser shall reimburse the Company for its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Company in connection with the ordering and installation of Purchaser-authorized IT services, hardware and software.  If the Purchaser is so required to reimburse the Company, the Purchaser shall own any such hardware and software and shall pay for its removal from Company premises.  The Purchaser and the Company shall cooperate in the removal of any such hardware or software so as to minimize any disruption to the Company's business.  In addition, if the Closing does not occur, the Company shall cooperate with the Purchaser in canceling any orders for IT services, hardware or software and shall otherwise act to minimize the costs which might be incurred in connection with the IT integration efforts.

5.12       Intellectual Property. The Company shall give the Purchaser prompt notice if any Person shall have (a) commenced, or shall have notified the Company that it intends to commence, an Action or Proceeding or (b) provided the Company with notice, in either case which allege(s) that any of the Business Products Intellectual Property infringes or otherwise violates the intellectual property rights of such Person.  The Company shall cooperate with the Purchaser in making arrangements to effect the assignment to the Purchaser of the Business Products Intellectual Property at the Closing.  Prior to the Closing, the Company shall take commercially reasonable actions (x) to maintain, perfect, preserve or renew the Business Registered Intellectual Property, including the payment of any registration, maintenance, renewal fees, annuity fees and Taxes or the filing of any documents, applications or certificates related thereto, and (y) to promptly respond and prepare to respond to all requests, related to the Business Registered Intellectual Property, received from Governmental or Regulatory Authorities.
 
5.13       Allocation of Aggregate ConsiderationPrior to the Closing, the Purchaser shall prepare an analysis and a proposed allocation of the Aggregate Consideration among the Purchased Assets (the “Proposed Price Allocation”) in a manner reasonably determined under the methods and principles required by Section 1060 of the Code, and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder.  Within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the Proposed Price Allocation, the Company shall notify the Purchaser of any objection. If there is no objection, then the Purchaser and the Company agree that any and all Tax Returns filed with any taxing authority or other governmental entity shall be consistent with the Proposed Price Allocation. If the Company objects to the Proposed Price Allocation, the parties agree to use their prompt and good faith efforts to reach agreement on a revised price allocation (the “Revised Price Allocation”). Once agreement is reached on a Revised Price Allocation, then the Purchaser and the Company agree that any and all Tax Returns filed with any taxing authority or other governmental entity shall be consistent with the Revised Price Allocation. If the parties are unable to reach agreement on a Revised Price Allocation within fifteen (15) days of the Company’s objection to the Proposed Price Allocation, then the parties will mutually select an independent accounting firm to make a final and binding determination of the Aggregate Consideration allocation as the earliest date practicable. The cost of such independent accounting firm shall be borne equally by the Purchaser and the Company.
 
5.14       Taxes.
 
(a)                 Books & Records; Cooperation.  The Purchaser, on one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to the other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance relating to the Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities, including, without limitation, access to Books and Records, as is reasonably necessary for the filing of all Tax Returns by the Purchaser or the Company, the making of any election relating to Taxes, the preparation for any audit by any Taxing Authority, and the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding relating to any Taxes.  Each of the Purchaser and the Company shall retain all Books and Records with respect to Taxes pertaining to the Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities, for a period of at least seven (7) years following the Closing Date.  At the end of such period, each party shall provide the other with at least ten (10) days prior written notice before transferring, destroying or discarding any such Books and Records, during which period the party receiving such notice can elect to take possession, at its own expense, of such Books and Records.  The Purchaser and the Company shall cooperate fully with each other in the conduct of any audit, litigation or other proceeding relating to Taxes involving the Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities.  The Purchaser and the Company further agree, upon request, to use their best efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental or Regulatory Body or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).
 
(b)                 Transfer Taxes.  The Purchaser shall be liable for all sales, use, transfer, documentary, stamp, registration, conveyance, value added or other similar Taxes (including all applicable real estate transfer Taxes), duties, fees, excises or governmental charges (including any penalties and interest) imposed by any Taxing Authority, domestic or foreign, and all recording or filing, notarial fees and other similar costs incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  The Company shall, at its own expense, file in a timely fashion all Tax Returns and other documentation relating to such Taxes.

(c)                 Allocation of Company Taxes.  Except as otherwise provided herein or in Section 5.14(b) hereof relating to Transfer Taxes, the Company shall be responsible for and shall promptly pay when due any and all Taxes levied with respect to the ownership of the Purchased Assets or the Business for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, and any other Taxes of the Company for any periods.  In the case of any property Taxes imposed with respect to the ownership of the Purchased Assets, the portion of such Taxes allocable to the Pre-Closing Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the taxable period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days within the portion of the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire taxable period.
 
Upon receipt by the Purchaser or the Company of any bill for such Taxes relating to the Purchased Assets, the party receiving such bill shall present a statement to the other setting forth the amount of reimbursement to which each is entitled under this Section 5.14(c) together with such supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary to calculate the proration amount.  The proration amount shall be paid by the party owing it to the other within ten (10) days after delivery of such statement.  In the event that the Purchaser or the Company shall make any payment for which it is entitled to reimbursement under this Section 5.14(c), the applicable party shall make such reimbursement promptly but in no event later than ten (10) days after the presentation of a statement setting forth the amount of reimbursement to which the presenting party is entitled along with such supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary to calculate the amount of reimbursement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Purchaser Indemnitees shall be liable for, and the Company shall indemnify and hold the Purchaser Indemnitees harmless, from and against, (i) any Taxes of Company levied with respect to the Purchased Assets or Business attributable to Pre-Closing Tax Periods or (ii) any other Taxes of Company for any periods. Correspondingly, the Company shall not be liable for, and the Purchaser shall indemnify and hold the Company harmless, from and against, (i) any Taxes levied with respect to the Purchased Assets or Business attributable to Post-Closing Tax Periods or (ii) any other Taxes of the Purchaser for any periods.
 
(d)                 Notices.  The Company shall promptly notify the Purchaser in writing upon receipt by the Company of notice of any pending or threatened federal, state, local or foreign Tax audits or assessments relating to the income, properties or operations of the Company that reasonably may be expected to relate to the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Liabilities.
 
(e)                 FIRPTA Certificate.  At the Closing, the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser all necessary forms and certificates complying with applicable Law, duly executed and acknowledged, certifying that the transactions contemplated hereby are exempt from withholding under Section 1445 of the Code.
 
5.15       NameWithin thirty (30) days after the Closing, the Company shall file an amendment to its Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and all other corporate documents to eliminate therefrom the word "Authentium" or any other name or mark that has such a near resemblance thereto as may reasonably be likely to cause confusion or mistake to the public, or to otherwise deceive the public.  In addition, within thirty (30) days after the Closing, the Company and all respective Affiliates shall cease all use of the names "Authentium" and "Command" in its activities (including with respect to any existing inventory or packaging).  During the foregoing thirty-day period, the Purchaser shall grant the Company a limited, royalty-free license to use the "Authentium" and "Command" brand names and marks.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Purchaser reasonably determines that the use of the name "Authentium" or "Command" by the Company negatively affects the value of the "Authentium" or "Command" names, it shall provide written notice to the Company identifying the reason for such determination.  If the Company does not cease the activity giving rise to such reason or dispute in writing such determination within five (5) Business Days following receipt of such written notice, the Purchaser may revoke such license with immediate effect upon delivery of a written notice to the Company.  If the Company disputes such determination, the Company and Purchaser shall attempt in good faith to resolve such dispute; provided, however, that if the Company or the Purchaser fails to respond within two (2) Business Days after receipt of a written request from the other party to commence discussion toward such resolution or otherwise fails to cooperate then the non-cooperating party shall be deemed to have agreed to resolve such dispute in favor of the cooperating party; provided, further, however, that if and Purchaser are unable to resolve such dispute within five (5) Business Days following commencement of attempts to do so, then the Purchase may revoke such license with immediate effect upon delivery of a written notice to the Company. Upon such revocation the Company shall immediately cease all use of the "Authentium" and "Command" names.

7.2          Escrow Provisions.
 
(a)                 Establishment of the Escrow Fund.  At the Closing, the Escrow Amount will be deposited with the Escrow Agent, such deposit to constitute the "Escrow Fund" to be governed by the terms set forth herein.
 
(b)                 Recourse to the Escrow Fund.  The Escrow Fund shall be available to compensate the Purchaser and its officers, directors, employees, agents and Affiliates (collectively, the "Purchaser Indemnitees") for any and all Losses (whether or not involving a third party claim (a "Third Party Claim")), incurred or sustained by the Purchaser or any other Purchaser Indemnitee as a result of any breach or violation of, inaccuracy in or omission from any representation or warranty, or any breach or violation of any covenant or agreement, of the Company or any Person who is or was a director, officer, Affiliate or shareholder of the Company contained in this Agreement, the Transition Services Agreement, or any certificate or instrument required to be delivered at the Closing of the Transaction pursuant to this Agreement, or with respect to any Taxes of Company for any pre-Closing period or portion of a Straddle Period prior to Closing.  The Purchaser and the Company each acknowledge that such Losses, if any, would relate to unresolved contingencies existing at the Closing Date, which if resolved at the Closing Date would have led to a reduction in the aggregate consideration to be paid to the Company.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of fraudulent or willful misconduct by the Company or any Person who is or was a director, officer, Affiliate or shareholder of the Company in connection with this Agreement or any other certificate or instrument required to be delivered at the Closing of the Transaction pursuant to this Agreement, the parties acknowledge that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Purchaser shall have all remedies available at law or in equity (including for tort) with respect to such fraudulent or willful misconduct and such remedies will not be capped by the Escrow Fund.

The Escrow Amount shall be distributed to the Company as follows: (i) at 11:59 p.m., Israel Time, on the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the remaining balance of the Escrow Amount (after payment of all claims and reserves for unsatisfied claims as of such date and time) that is in excess of four hundred sixty thousand United States Dollars (US $460,000) (the "Remainder") shall be distributed to the Company, and (ii) at 11:59 p.m., Israel Time, on December 31, 2011, all amounts remaining in the Escrow Fund shall be distributed to the Company; provided, however, that the distributions above shall not be made and the Escrow Period shall not terminate with respect to such amount (or some portion thereof) as may be necessary in the good faith judgment of the Purchaser, subject to the objection of the Company and the subsequent arbitration of the matter in the manner as provided in Section 7.2(g), to satisfy any unsatisfied claims under this Section 7.2 concerning facts and circumstances existing prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date (with respect to the distribution from the Escrow Fund on such date) or the termination of such Escrow Period, as applicable, which claims are specified in any certificate signed by any officer of the Purchaser (an "Officer's Certificate") delivered to the Escrow Agent and to the Company prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date (with respect to the distribution from the Escrow Fund on such date) or termination of such Escrow Period, as applicable.  As soon as all such claims, if any, have been resolved, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to the Company the Remainder of the Escrow Fund or remaining portion of the Escrow Fund, as applicable, not required to satisfy such claims.  The Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such remaining portion of the Escrow Fund delivered within ten (10) Business Days after such resolution.
 
 
- 31 -

 
 
(d)                 Protection of Escrow Fund.  The Escrow Agent shall hold and safeguard the Escrow Fund during the Escrow Period, shall treat such fund as a trust fund in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and not as the property of the Purchaser and shall hold and dispose of the Escrow Fund only in accordance with the terms hereof.
 
(e)                 Claims Upon Escrow Fund.  Upon receipt by the Escrow Agent at any time on or before the last day of the Escrow Period of a certificate signed by any officer of the Purchaser (an "Officer's Certificate"):  (A) stating that the Purchaser or another the Purchaser Indemnitee has incurred or sustained (or anticipates that it will incur or sustain) Losses, directly or indirectly, as a result of any breach or violation of, inaccuracy in or omission from (or any claim by any third party alleging, constituting or involving a breach or violation of, inaccuracy in or omission from) any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Company or any Person who is or was a director, officer, Affiliate or shareholder of the Company contained in this Agreement or any certificate or instrument required to be delivered at the Closing of the Transaction pursuant to this Agreement; and (B) specifying in reasonable detail the individual items of Loss included in the amount so stated, the date (if known) when each such item of Loss was incurred or sustained (or, in the case of anticipated Losses, the basis for such anticipated Loss), and the general nature of the representation, warranty, agreement or covenant or other matter to which such item of Loss or anticipated Loss is related, the Escrow Agent shall, subject to Section 7.2(f) and 7.2(g) below deliver to the Purchaser out of the Escrow Fund, as promptly as practicable but, in any event no earlier than the ten (10) Business Day period set forth in Section 7.2(f) below (for undisputed Claims) and no earlier than rendering of the final arbitral decision under Section 7.2(g) below (or mutual agreement of the parties) (for disputed Claims), an amount in cash held in the Escrow Fund equal to such Losses.  Where the basis for a claim upon the Escrow Fund by the Purchaser is that the Purchaser (or another Purchaser Indemnitee) anticipates that it will incur or sustain a Loss, no payment will be made from the Escrow Fund for such Loss unless and until such Loss is actually incurred or sustained.
 
(f)                 Objections to Claims.  At the time of delivery of any Officer's Certificate to the Escrow Agent, a duplicate copy of such certificate shall be delivered to the Company and for a period of ten (10) Business Days after such delivery, the Escrow Agent shall make no delivery to the Purchaser of any Escrow Amounts pursuant to Section 7.2(e) unless the Escrow Agent shall have received written authorization from the Company to make such delivery.  After the expiration of such ten (10) Business Day period, the Escrow Agent shall make delivery of cash payments from the Escrow Fund in accordance with Section 7.2(e), provided that no such payment may be made if the Company shall object in a written statement to the claim made in the Officer's Certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for objection, and such statement shall have been delivered to the Escrow Agent prior to 5 p.m. Pacific Time on the last day of such ten (10) Business Day period.
 
(g)                 Resolution of Conflicts; Arbitration.
 
(i)           In case the Company shall object in writing to any claim or claims made in any Officer's Certificate, the Company and the Purchaser shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims.  If the Company and the Purchaser should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both parties and shall be furnished to the Escrow Agent.  The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on any such memorandum and distribute cash payments from the Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms thereof.

(ii)           If no such agreement is reached after good faith negotiations, either the Purchaser or the Company may demand arbitration of the dispute unless the amount of the Loss is at issue in a pending Action or Proceeding involving a Third Party Claim (as defined in the Escrow Agreement, in which event arbitration shall not be commenced until such amount is determined in such Action or Proceeding (whether by verdict, judgment, finding of fact, settlement or other Order, stipulation or agreement) or otherwise ascertained, or both parties agree to arbitration; and in either event, the matter shall be resolved by arbitration conducted by one arbitrator to be selected jointly by the parties, and if the parties fail to agree on an arbitrator within thirty days of the arbitration demand or resolution of Third Party Claim (if later), in accordance with the commercial rules of arbitration of the American Arbitration Association then in effect.  The arbitrator shall set a limited time period and establish procedures designed to reduce the cost and time for discovery of information relating to any dispute while allowing the parties an opportunity, adequate as determined in the sole judgment of the arbitrators, to discover relevant information from the opposing parties about the subject matter of the dispute.  The arbitrator shall rule upon motions to compel, limit or allow discovery as he shall deem appropriate given the nature and extent of the disputed Claim.  The arbitrator shall also have the authority to impose sanctions, including attorneys' fees and other costs incurred by the parties, to the same extent as a court of law or equity, if the arbitrator determines that discovery was sought without substantial justification or that discovery was refused or objected to by a party without substantial justification.  The decision of the arbitrator as to the validity and amount of any Claim in such Officer's Certificate shall be binding and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement and, notwithstanding anything in Section 7.2(e), the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to act in accordance with such decision and make or withhold payments out of the Escrow Fund in accordance therewith.  Such decision shall be written and shall be supported by written findings of fact and conclusions of law regarding the dispute which shall set forth the award, judgment, decree or order of the arbitrators.
 
(iii)           Judgment upon any award, judgment, decree or order rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction.  Any such arbitration shall be held in New York City under the commercial rules of arbitration then in effect of the American Arbitration Association.  For purposes of this Section 7.2(g), in any arbitration hereunder in which any Claim or the amount thereof stated in the Officer's Certificate is at issue, the Purchaser shall be deemed to be the Non-Prevailing Party in the event that the arbitrators award the Purchaser less than the sum of one-half of the disputed amount of claimed Losses (exclusive of any amounts not in dispute); otherwise, the Company as represented by the Company shall be deemed to be the Non-Prevailing Party.  The Non-Prevailing Party to an arbitration shall pay its own expenses, the fees of the arbitrator, the administrative costs of the arbitration and the expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, incurred by the other party to the arbitration.  If the Non-Prevailing Party is the Company, such fees may be sourced from the Escrow Fund.  For the avoidance of doubt, if the Purchaser is the Non-Prevailing Party, the Purchaser will not be entitled to claim Purchaser's fees and expenses with respect to the disputed amount as Losses or otherwise seek reimbursement from the Company (or the Escrow Fund) for such fees and expenses.
 
(h)                 Third-Party ClaimsIn the event the Purchaser becomes aware of a Third Party Claim which the Purchaser expects may result in a demand against the Escrow Fund, the Purchaser shall notify the Company of such Claim, and the Company shall be entitled, at its expense, to participate in any defense of such Claim.  The Purchaser shall have the right in its sole discretion to settle any Third Party Claim; provided, however, that if (i) such settlement was obtained without the Company's consent, and such consent was neither unreasonably withheld nor delayed, and (ii) the Company demonstrates to the satisfaction of the arbitrator that the amount of such settlement was unreasonably high (it being agreed that the arbitrator shall determine which party shall bear the burden of production and persuasion with respect to such challenge of the amount of settlement), the Purchaser shall not be entitled to recover from the Escrow Fund the portion of such settlement that the Company has so demonstrated is unreasonably high.  In the event that the Company has consented to any such settlement, the amount of such settlement shall be conclusively and irrebuttably presumed to be reasonable, and the Company shall not make, and the arbitrator shall have no power or authority to hear any objection under any provision of this Article 7 to the amount of any claim by the Purchaser against the Escrow Fund with respect to the amount of Losses incurred by the Purchaser in such settlement.
 
(i)                 LimitationThe Company shall not have any liability in excess of two million United States Dollars (US $2,000,000) (the "Indemnity Cap") for any breach or violation of, inaccuracy in or omission from any representation or warranty, or any breach or violation of any covenant or agreement, of the Company contained in this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements or any certificate, agreement or instrument required to be delivered in connection herewith or therewith (disregarding any materiality limitation herein or therein) or any claim by any third party alleging, constituting or involving such a breach, violation, inaccuracy or omission, except in the event of fraud or willful misconduct (i.e., an intentional breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, but excluding a negligent or reckless breach) by the Company or any Person who is or was a director, officer, Affiliate or shareholder of the Company in connection with this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or in any other instrument or document required to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement in connection herewith.  In the event of such fraudulent or willful misconduct referred to in the immediately preceding sentence, the Purchaser shall have all remedies available at law or in equity (including for tort) with respect to such fraudulent or willful misconduct.  Nothing herein shall be construed to limit the remedies available to or the amount of damages recoverable by the Purchaser for breach of any of the Ancillary Agreements by any of the parties thereto other than the Company.  In the event that the balance in the Escrow Fund shall not be sufficient to compensate the Purchaser Indemnitees for any and all Loss, the Purchaser shall be entitled to retain the portion of the unpaid Earnout Payment, if any, that represents the excess of the Loss (up to the amount of the Indemnity Cap) over the balance in the Escrow Fund.
