The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

The Company:

Background

PhotoMedex, Inc. (and its subsidiaries) (the “Company”) was a Global Skin Health company providing integrated disease management and aesthetic solutions to dermatologists, professional aestheticians and consumers. The Company provided proprietary products and services that address skin diseases and conditions including psoriasis, acne, actinic keratosis (a precursor to certain types of skin cancer), photo damage and unwanted hair.

Starting in August 2014, the Company began to restructure its operations and redirect its efforts in a manner that management expected would result in improved results of operations and address certain defaults in its commercial bank loan covenants. As part of such redirected efforts, management continues its comprehensive efforts to minimize the Company’s operational costs and capital expenditures. During this time the Company has also sold off certain business units and product lines to support this restructuring and has agreed to sell its Consumer product division (See Note 18 - Subsequent Event).

The Company did not present the consumer products segment as a discontinued operation, since the consumer products represent the entire remaining operations of the Company and accordingly, following such transaction, the Company will have only minimal operations and assets, with no continuing operations.

On September 7, 2016 the Company’s Board of Directors approved a reverse split in a ratio of 1-for-five.  The 2016 reverse split was implemented on September 23, 2016 (the “2016 Reverse Split”).  The amount of authorized Common Stock as well as the par value for the Common Stock were not effected.  Any fractional shares resulting from the 2016 Reverse Split were rounded up to the nearest whole share.

Liquidity and Going Concern

As of December 31, 2016, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $115,635 and shareholders’ deficit of $1,408. To date, the Company has dedicated most of its financial resources to sales and marketing, general and administrative expenses and research and development.

Cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2016 were $2,677, including restricted cash of $342. The Company has historically financed its activities with cash from operations, the private placement of equity and debt securities, borrowings under lines of credit and, in the most recent periods with sales of certain assets and business units. . The Company will be required to obtain additional liquidity resources in order to support its operations. The Company is addressing its liquidity needs by selling certain of its product lines to a third party (see NOTE 18 Subsequent Events). There are no assurances, however, that the Company will be able to collect all remaining amounts due from sale of these assets and product lines or, in the alternative, obtain an adequate level of financial resources required for the short and long-term support of its operations if the remaining amounts due from the sale of assets and product lines remain uncollected or not paid when due. In light of the Company’s recent operating losses and negative cash flows and the uncertainty of collecting amounts due from the sales of its product lines, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern.

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on recoverability and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

On January 6, 2016, PhotoMedex, Inc. received an advance of $4 million, less a $40 financing fee (the “January 2016 Advance”), from CC Funding, a division of Credit Cash NJ, LLC, (the "Lender"), pursuant to a Credit Card Receivables Advance Agreement (the "Advance Agreement"), dated December 21, 2015. The Company’s domestic subsidiaries, Radiancy, Inc.; PTECH; and Lumiere, Inc., were also parties to the Advance Agreement (collectively with the Company, the “Borrowers”). Each Advance was secured by security interest in defined collateral representing substantially all the assets of the Company. Concurrent with the funding of the loan agreement, the Company established a $500 cash reserve account in favor of the lender to be used to make loan payments in the event that weekly remittances, net of sales return credits and other bank charges or offsets, were insufficient to cover the weekly repayment amount due the lender.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Advance Agreement, the Lender was to make periodic advances to the Company (collectively with the January 2016 Advance and the April 2016 Advance described below, the “Advances”). The proceeds were used for general corporate purposes.

All outstanding Advances were repaid through the Company’s existing and future credit card receivables and other rights to payment arising out of our acceptance or other use of any credit or charge card (collectively, “Credit Card Receivables”) generated by activities based in the United States.

On April 29, 2016, the Company received an advance of $1 million, less a $10 financing fee (the “April 2016 Advance”), from the Lender pursuant to the Advance Agreement.

On June 17, 2016, the Company received an advance of $550, less a $50 financing fee (the “June 2016 Advance”), from the Lender pursuant to the Advance Agreement.

The above described advances were paid in full on July 29, 2016 and the security interest in the defined collateral was released from lien.

As of December 31, 2016 the restricted cash account includes $253 from the Neova Escrow Agreement (see Acquisitions and Dispositions below). Restricted cash also includes $89 reflecting certain commitments connected to our leased office facilities in Israel. Additionally, during 2016 the Company gained access to previously restricted cash amounts of $724 that were held in escrow as of the one year anniversary of the sale of the XTRAC and VTRAC business on June 22, 2015, from which $125 was paid to MELA Science, the purchaser of that business which amount was reflected within the loss from discontinued operations.

On August 30, 2016, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement for the sale of its Neova product line. The sale was completed on September 15, 2016 resulting in immediate cash proceeds to the Company of $1.5 million and the Company recorded a loss of $1,731 from the transaction during the year ended December 31, 2016.

On October 4, 2016, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement for the sale of its Consumer Division for $9.5 million, including $5 million in cash plus a $4.5 million royalty agreement. (See Note 18 Subsequent Event and Acquisitions and Dispositions). On January 23, 2017, the Company entered into a First Amendment (the “First APA Amendment”) to the Asset Purchase Agreement which revised the definition of Business Assets and Assumed Liabilities, provided for the establishment of employee benefit plans by the Purchaser and substituted a new Disclosure Letter for the one delivered concurrently with the signing of the original Asset Purchase Agreement. The amendment also extended the term of the Letter of Credit issued in connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement to 100 days after the Closing Date.   The Company also entered into a First Amendment (the “First TSA Amendment”) to the Transition Services Agreement between the Company and its subsidiaries and the Purchaser of the Consumer Products division, pursuant to which the Company and its subsidiaries will provide the Purchaser with certain accounting, benefit, payroll, regulatory, IT support and other services for periods ranging from approximately three months to up to one year following the Closing Date, during which time the Purchaser will arrange to transition the services it receives to its own personnel.  The First TSA Amendment revised references in the Transition Services Agreement from “Effective Date” to “Closing Date”, and clarified specifications regarding the lease for certain premises in Israel by and between Radiancy Israel and the landlord for those premises.  This transaction was completed on January 23, 2017. See background paragraph above.

Assets held for sale related to the Consumer Division consisted of the following as of December 31, 2016:

Inventory	$	7,336
Property and equipment		911
Other assets		115
Assets held for sale as of  December 31, 2016	$	8,362

The Company has classified the assets of the Consumer Division as assets held for sale as of December 31, 2016.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Accounting Principles

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). Certain reclassifications from the prior year presentation have been made to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications did not have material impact on the Company’s equity, net assets, results of operations or cash flows.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the wholly and majority owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Held for Sale Classification and Discontinued Operations

A disposal group is reported as held for sale when management has approved or received approval to sell and is committed to a formal plan, the disposal group is available for immediate sale, the business is being actively marketed, the sale is anticipated to occur during the next 12 months and certain other specified criteria are met. A disposal group classified as held for sale is recorded at the lower of its carrying amount or estimated fair value less cost to sell. If the carrying value of the business exceeds its estimated fair value less cost to sell, a loss is recognized. However, when a disposal group meets the held for sale criteria, the Company first evaluates whether the carrying amounts of the assets not covered by ASC 360-10 included in the disposal group (such as goodwill) are required to be adjusted in accordance with other applicable GAAP before measuring the disposal group at fair value less cost to sell.

Assets and liabilities related to a disposal group classified as held for sale are segregated in the consolidated balance sheet in the period in which the disposal group is classified as held for sale.

Until December 31, 2014, in accordance with previous US GAAP, operations of a disposal group were reported as discontinued operations if the disposal group is classified as held for sale, the operations and cash flows of the business have been or will be eliminated from the ongoing operations as a result of a disposal transaction and when the Company will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the disposal group after the disposal transaction. See below regarding change to the criteria for reporting discontinued operations.

Commencing January 1, 2015 (the effective date of the ASU 2014-08), only disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity that represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results shall be reported as discontinued operations. The revised guidance did not change the criteria required to qualify for held for sale presentation. The revised guidance includes several new disclosures and among others, requires to reclassify the assets and liabilities of discontinued operations to separate line items in the balance sheets for all periods presented (including comparatives).

The results of discontinued operations are reported in discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss for current and prior periods commencing in the period in which the business meets the criteria of a discontinued operation, and include any gain or loss recognized on closing or adjustment of the carrying amount to fair value less cost to sell. Depreciation is not recorded on assets of a business while it is classified as held for sale. (See also Note 2, Discontinued Operations).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates and be based on events different from those assumptions. As part of these financial statements, the more significant estimates include (1) revenue recognition, including provision for sales return and valuation allowances of accounts receivable; (2) valuation allowance of deferred tax assets and uncertainty in tax positions; and (3) stock based compensation and (4) impairment of long lived assets and intangibles (5) evaluation of going concern; (6) contingencies.

Functional Currency

The currency of the primary economic environment in which the operations of the Company, its U.S. subsidiaries and Radiancy Ltd., its subsidiary in Israel, are conducted is the US dollar ("$" or "dollars"). Thus, the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries (other than the foreign subsidiaries mentioned below) is the dollar (which is also the reporting currency of the Group). The operations of the other foreign subsidiaries are each conducted in the local currency of the subsidiary. These currencies include: Great Britain Pounds (GBP) and Hong Kong Dollar (HKD). Substantially all of the Group's revenues are derived in dollars or in other currencies linked to the dollar. Purchases of most materials and components are carried out in, or linked to the dollar.

Balances denominated in, or linked to, foreign currencies are stated on the basis of the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. For foreign currency transactions included in the statement of comprehensive income (loss), the exchange rates applicable to the relevant transaction dates are used. Transaction gains or losses arising from changes in the exchange rates used in the translation of such balances are carried to financing income or expenses.

Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries, whose functional currency is the local currency, are translated from its respective functional currency to U.S. dollars at the balance sheet date exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Translation adjustments are reflected in the consolidated balance sheets as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures and discloses fair value in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC Topic 820”). ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework and gives guidance regarding the methods used for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions there exists a three-tier fair-value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

• Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

• Level 2 – pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets that are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data.

• Level 3 – pricing inputs are unobservable for the non-financial asset or liability and only used when there is little, if any, market activity for the non-financial asset or liability at the measurement date. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. Fair value is determined using comparable market transactions and other valuation methodologies, adjusted as appropriate for liquidity, credit, market and/or other risk factors.

This hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value.

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents are based on its demand value, which is equal to its carrying value. Additionally, the carrying value of all other monetary assets and liabilities is estimated to be equal to their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value, on a recurring basis. The fair value of derivatives generally reflects the estimated amounts that the Group would receive or pay to terminate the contracts at the reporting dates, based on the prevailing currency prices and the relevant interest rates. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015 there are no such instruments.

In addition to items that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, there are also assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include certain long-lived assets including goodwill and intangibles. These fair value measurements reside within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company invests its excess cash in highly liquid short-term investments. The Company considers short-term investments that are purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consisted of cash and money market accounts at December 31, 2016 and 2015.

Short-term Deposits

Short-term deposits are deposits with original maturities of more than three months but less than one year. Short-term deposits are presented at their costs including accrued interest.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The majority of the Company’s accounts receivable are due from consumers, distributors (domestic and international), physicians and other entities in the medical field. Accounts receivable are most often due within 30 to 90 days and are stated at amounts due from customers net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. Allowance for doubtful accounts were determined by considering a number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts receivable are past due, the Company’s previous loss history, the customer’s current ability to pay its obligation to the Company and available information about their credit risk, and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they are considered uncollectible, and payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company did not recognize interest accruing on accounts receivable past due.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined to be purchased cost for raw materials and the production cost (materials, labor and indirect manufacturing cost, including sub-contracted work components) for work-in-process and finished goods. For the Company’s consumer and LHE products, cost was determined on the weighted-average method. For the pre-merged PhotoMedex’s products, cost was determined on the first-in, first-out method.

Reserves for slow moving and obsolete inventories were provided based on historical experience and product demand. Management evaluates the adequacy of these reserves periodically based on forecasted sales and market trend.

Property, Equipment and Depreciation

Property and equipment are recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, primarily three to seven years for computer hardware and software, furniture and fixtures, and machinery and equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the useful lives or lease terms. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments to property and equipment are capitalized, while expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged as an expense as incurred. Upon retirement or disposition, the applicable property amounts are deducted from the accounts and any gain or loss is recorded in the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income. Useful lives are determined based upon an estimate of either physical or economic obsolescence or both.

Management evaluated the realizability of property and equipment based on estimates of undiscounted future cash flows over the remaining useful life of the asset. If the amount of such estimated undiscounted future cash flows is less than the net book value of the asset, the asset is written down to fair value. (See Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Intangibles).

Patent Costs and Licensed Technologies

Costs incurred to obtain or defend patents and licensed technologies were capitalized and amortized over the shorter of the remaining estimated useful lives or eight to 12 years. Core and product technology was also recorded in connection with the reverse acquisition on December 13, 2011 and was being amortized on a straight-line basis over ten years for core technology and five years for product technology. (See Note 6, Patent and Licensed Technologies).

Management evaluated the recoverability of intangible assets based on estimates of undiscounted future cash flows over the remaining useful life of the asset. If the amount of such estimated undiscounted future cash flows is less than the net book value of the asset, the asset is written down to fair value. During the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2016, the Company recorded an impairment of patents and licensed technologies in the amount of $1,424 and $1,261, respectively. (See Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Intangibles).

Other Intangible Assets

Other intangible assets were recorded in connection with the reverse acquisition on December 13, 2011. The assets which were determined to have definite useful lives were amortized on a straight-line basis over ten years. Such assets primarily include customer relationships and trademarks. (See Note 7, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets).

Management evaluates the recoverability of such other intangible assets based on estimates of undiscounted future cash flows over the remaining useful life of the asset. If the amount of such estimated undiscounted future cash flows is less than the net book value of the asset, the asset is written down to fair value. As of December 31, 2015 the Company recognized and recorded an impairment of Physician Recurring segment intangibles for its trademark, tradename, customer relationships in the amount of $3,527. In connection with the transactions with ICTV, as of December 31, 2016 the Company recorded an impairment of the entire remaining balance of Consumer segment other intangible assets in the amount of $1,261. (See Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Intangibles).

Accounting for the Impairment of Goodwill

The Company evaluates the carrying value of goodwill annually at the end of the calendar year and also between annual evaluations if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit to which goodwill was allocated to below its carrying amount. Such circumstances could include, but are not limited to: (1) a significant adverse change in legal factors or in business climate, (2) unanticipated competition, or (3) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. Goodwill impairment evaluation is performed subsequent to Impairment evaluation of long-lived assets and intangibles (see Notes 6 and 7). Goodwill impairment testing involves a two-step process. Step 1 compares the fair value of the Group’s reporting units to which goodwill was allocated to their carrying values. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, no further analysis is necessary. The reporting unit fair value is based upon consideration of various valuation methodologies, including guideline transaction multiples, multiples of current earnings, and projected future cash flows discounted at rates commensurate with the risk involved. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, Step 2 must be completed to quantify the amount of impairment. Step 2 calculates the implied fair value of goodwill by deducting the fair value of all tangible and intangible assets, excluding goodwill, of the reporting unit, from the fair value of the reporting unit as determined in Step 1. The implied fair value of goodwill determined in this step is compared to the carrying value of goodwill. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the carrying value of goodwill, an impairment loss, equal to the difference, is recognized. See Note 2, regarding the impairment of goodwill which was allocated to the XTRAC division classified as assets held for sale in 2015. Furthermore, during the fourth quarter of 2015, we recorded goodwill asset impairment charges of $16,530, as we determined that a portion of the value of our goodwill was impaired in connection with our annual impairment test. A number of factors contributed to decreased earnings projection including, competition from consumer device companies claiming similar product functionality, our inability to attract sufficient financial resources to quickly increase our advertisement to overcome the market confusion created by competitors, the inability to effectively expand operations into foreign markets and quickly ramp product launches of new and innovative products in the second half of 2015 after satisfying on June 23, 2015 the bank covenant defaults of our senior credit facility, and a continuing challenging media environment to purchase cost effective advertisement in the USA, our largest product distribution market. The fair value of Goodwill associated with the operating and reporting units was estimated using a combination of Income and Market Approach methodologies to valuation. The Income method of valuation explicitly recognizes the current value of future economic benefits developed by discounting future net cash flows to their present value at a rate the reflects both the current return requirements of the market and the risks inherent in the market. The Market approach measures the value of an asset through the analysis of recent sales or offerings of comparable property. Our business was organized into three operating and reporting units which were defined as Consumer, Physician Recurring, and Professional Equipment. Upon completion of our annual goodwill impairment analysis as of December 31, 2015 the Company recorded an impairment of Consumer segment goodwill in the amount of $15,654 and an impairment of Physician Recurring segment goodwill of $876. Upon completion of our goodwill impairment analysis in connection with the transaction with ICTV Brands, as of December 31, 2016 the Company recorded an impairment of the entire remaining balance of goodwill (allocated to consumer segment) in the amount of $2,257. Such determination was based on the market approach.

Accrued Warranty Costs

The Company offered a standard warranty on product sales generally for a one to two-year period. The Company provided for the expected cost of estimated future warranty claims on the date the product is sold. Total accrued warranty was included in other accrued liabilities on the balance sheet. The activity in the warranty accrual during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 is summarized as follows:

	December 31,
	2016			2015
Accrual at beginning of year	$	330		$	529
Additions charged to warranty expense		56			130
Expiring warranties		(293	)		(329	)
Claims satisfied		-			-
Total		93			330
Less: current portion		(93	)		(330	)
Long term accrued warranty	$	0		$	0

For extended warranty on the consumer products, see Revenue Recognition below.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenues from the product sales when the following four criteria have been met: (i) the product has been delivered and the Company has no significant remaining obligations; (ii) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (iii) the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and (iv) collection is reasonably assured. Revenues from product sales are recorded net of provisions for estimated chargebacks, rebates, expected returns and cash discounts.

The Company ships most of its products FOB shipping point, although from time to time certain customers, for example governmental customers, will be granted FOB destination terms. Among the factors the Company takes into account when determining the proper time at which to recognize revenue are (i) when title to the goods transfers and (ii) when the risk of loss transfers. Shipments to distributors or physicians that do not fully satisfy the collection criteria are recognized when invoiced amounts are fully paid or fully assured and included in deferred revenues until that time.

For revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables within a single, contractually binding arrangements (usually sales of products with separately priced extended warranty), each element of the contract is accounted for as a separate unit of accounting when it provides the customer value on a stand-alone basis and there is objective evidence of the fair value of the related unit.

With respect to sales arrangements under which the buyer has a right to return the related product, revenue is recognized only if all the following conditions are met: the price is fixed or determinable at the date of sale; the buyer has paid, or is obligated to pay and the obligation is not contingent on resale of the product; the buyer's obligation would not be changed in the event of theft or physical destruction or damage of the product; the buyer has economic substance; the Company does not have significant obligations for future performance to directly bring about resale of the product by the buyer; and the amount of future returns can be reasonably estimated.

The Company provides a provision for product returns based on the experience with historical sales returns, in accordance with ASC Topic 605-15 with respect to sales of product when a right of return exists. Reported revenues are shown net of the returns provision. Such allowance for sales returns is included in Other Accrued Liabilities. (See Note 9).

Deferred revenue includes amounts received with respect to extended warranty maintenance, repairs and other billable services and amounts not yet recognized as revenues. Revenues with respect to such activities are deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the duration of the warranty period, the service period or when service is provided, as applicable to each service.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are reflected as revenues while the related shipping and handling costs are included in selling and marketing expense. To date, shipping and handling costs have not been material.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are charged to expenses as incurred. Advertising expenses amounted to approximately $12 and $33 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Derivatives

The Company applies the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. In accordance with ASC Topic 815, all the derivative financial instruments are recognized as either financial assets or financial liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative financial instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and further, on the type of hedging relationship. For derivative financial instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, a company must designate the hedging instrument, based upon the exposure being hedged, as a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation.

From time to time the Company carries out transactions involving foreign exchange derivative financial instruments (mainly forward exchange contracts) which are expected to be paid with respect to forecasted expenses of the Israeli subsidiary (Radiancy) denominated in Israeli local currency (NIS) which is different than its functional currency. However, during 2016 and 2015, such activity was limited.

Such derivatives were not designated as hedging instruments, and accordingly they were recognized in the balance sheet at their fair value, with changes in the fair value carried to the Statement of Comprehensive (Loss) Income and included in interest and other financing income (expenses), net.

At December 31, 2016, the balance of such derivative instruments amounted to approximately $0 in liabilities and approximately $0 were recognized as financing loss in the Statement of Comprehensive (Loss) Income during the year ended that date. At December 31, 2015, the balance of such derivative instruments amounted to approximately $0 in assets and approximately $171 were recognized as financing income in the Statement of Comprehensive (Loss) Income during the year ended that date.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences reverse. Any resulting net deferred tax assets are evaluated for recoverability and, accordingly, a valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

The Company or its subsidiaries may incur additional tax liabilities in the event of an intercompany dividend distribution or a deemed dividend distribution under the U.S. income tax law and regulations. Prior to 2014, it was the Company’s policy not to cause a distribution of dividends which would generate an additional tax liability to the Company. During 2014 and 2015, the Company’s affiliates borrowed funds from the subsidiary in Israel. These borrowings resulted in a large deemed distribution taxable in the U.S. Furthermore, management can no longer represent that the earnings of its non U.S. subsidiaries will remain permanently invested outside the U.S. Therefore, beginning in 2014, the Company has provided deferred taxes on the undistributed earnings of its non U.S. subsidiaries. Taxes, which would apply in the event of disposal of investments in subsidiaries, have not been taken into account in computing the deferred taxes, as it is the Company's policy to hold these investments, not to dispose of them.

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with an amendment to ASC Topic 740-10, Income Taxes (Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes), which clarified the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. This amendment provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can be recognized in the financial statements only if the position is "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained were it to be challenged by a taxing authority. The assessment of the tax position is based solely on the technical merits of the position, without regard the likelihood that the tax position may be challenged. If an uncertain tax position meets the "more-likely-than-not" threshold, the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely to be recognized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority is recorded.

In the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2016, the Company determined that the liability for unrecognized tax benefits could suitably be extinguished by application of net operating loss carryforwards and carrybacks, with any residual impact arising as a liability in 2015 and 2016 that has been duly provided for.

Concentrations of credit risk

Financial instruments which subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, derivative (assets), accounts receivable and restricted deposits. The carrying amounts of these instruments approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. The Company deposits cash and cash equivalents and short term deposits in major financial institutions in the US, UK, Brazil and in Israel. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of these institutions. The Company is of the opinion that the credit risk in respect of these balances is immaterial. In addition, the Company performs an ongoing credit evaluation and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of customers (see also Accounts receivable above).

Most of the Company’s sales are generated in North America and Asia Pacific, to a large number of customers. Management periodically evaluates the collectability of the trade receivables to determine the amounts that are doubtful of collection and determine a proper allowance for doubtful accounts. Accordingly, the Company’s trade receivables do not represent a substantial concentration of credit risk.

Contingencies

The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in certain legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of its business. Except for income tax contingencies, the Company records accruals for contingencies to the extent that the management concludes that the occurrence is probable and that the related amounts of loss can be reasonably estimated. Legal expenses associated with the contingency are expensed as incurred.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

The Company computes earnings (net loss) per share in accordance with ASC Topic. 260, Earnings per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, net of the weighted average number of treasury shares (if any). Diluted earnings (loss) per common share are computed similar to basic earnings per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional potential common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Potential common shares are excluded from the computation for a period in which a net loss is reported or if their effect is anti-dilutive. The Company’s potential common shares consist of stock options, warrants and restricted stock awards issued under the Company’s stock incentive plans and their potential dilutive effect is considered using the treasury method.

Basic and diluted loss per common share was calculated using the following weighted average shares outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015:

	December 31,
	2016		2015
Weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding:
Basic number of common shares outstanding		4,171,549		4,049,518
Dilutive effect of stock options and warrants		-		-
Diluted number of common and common stock equivalent shares outstanding		4,171,549		4,049,518

Diluted earnings (loss) per share for each of the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 exclude the impact of common stock options, warrants and unvested restricted stock totaling 327,900, and 473,210 shares, respectively, as the effect of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. This table has been updated to reflect the one for five reverse stock split effected September 23, 2016.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Intangibles

Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, and definite-lived intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset (or group of assets) may not be recoverable. Impairment test is applied at the lowest level where there are identifiable independent cash flows, which may involve a group of assets.

Recoverability of assets to be held and used (or group of assets) is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If an asset is determined to be impaired, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of are separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposed group classified as discontinued operations are presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheet.

Indefinite-life intangible assets are tested for impairment, on an annual basis or more often, when triggering events indicate that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired, by comparing the fair value of the asset with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in the amount of that excess. Subsequent reversal of a previously recognized impairment loss is prohibited.

Pursuant to ASC 360 the Company tested the long-lived assets and determined that changes in circumstances indicated that its carrying value may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of the assets is considered recoverable if it exceeds the sum of undiscounted cash flows expected from the use or eventual disposition of the asset. As of December 2015 and in connection with its annual budgeting process, the Company determined its acquired intangible assets indicated that the cash flows related to the acquired assets were substantially riskier and subject to shortfalls in revenues and profits relative to original expectations. The Company’s internal operating forecast has been revised downward in terms of revenue growth and profitability for the foreseeable future. The analysis entailed comparing the carrying amount of the long-lived assets as of December 31, 2015 with the sum of their respective projected undiscounted cash flows. For the long lived assets where carrying amount exceeded the projected undiscounted cash flows, the Company recognized and recorded an impairment of Physician Recurring segment intangibles for its trademark, tradename, and customer relationships in the amount of $3,527 and licensed technology in the amount of $1,424 based on the amounts the carrying amounts exceeded the fair value. Upon completion of our goodwill impairment analysis in connection with the pending transaction with ICTV Brands, as of December 31, 2016 the Company recorded an impairment of the entire remaining balance of Consumer segment goodwill in the amount of $2,257.

In connection with the pending transaction with ICTV Brands, as of December 31, 2016, the Company recorded an impairment of the Consumer segment intangibles for its entire remaining Licensed Technology balance in the amount of $1,261.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Under the fair value recognition provision, of this statement, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award that is ultimately expected to vest and is recognized as operating expense over the applicable vesting period of the stock award using the graded vesting method.

Treasury Stock and Repurchase of Common Stock

Shares held by the Company are presented as a reduction of equity, at their cost to the Company as treasury stock, until such shares are retired and removed from the account.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In May 2014, The FASB issued Accounting Standard Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) ("ASU 2014-09").

ASU 2014-09 outlines a single comprehensive model to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. ASU 2014-09 also requires entities to disclose sufficient information, both quantitative and qualitative, to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.

An entity should apply the amendments in this ASU using one of the following two methods: 1. Retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented with a possibility to elect certain practical expedients, or, 2. Retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of initial application. If an entity elects the latter transition method, it also should provide certain additional disclosures.

For a public entity, the amendments in ASU 2014-09 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period (the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 for the Company). Early application is not permitted. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact, if any, of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern ("ASU 2014-15"). ASU 2014-15 provide guidance on management’s responsibility in evaluating whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued when applicable). ASU 2014-15 also provide guidance related to the required disclosures as a result of management evaluation.

The amendments in ASU 2014-15 are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted.

In July, 2015, The FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (Topic 330) ("ASU 2015-11"). ASU 2015-11 outlines that inventory within the scope of its guidance be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Inventory measured using last-in, first-out (LIFO) are not impacted by the new guidance. Prior to the issuance of ASU 2015-11, inventory was measured at the lower of cost or market (where market was defined as replacement cost, with a ceiling of net realizable value and floor of net realizable value less a normal profit margin). For a public entity, the amendments in ASU 2015-11 are effective, in a prospective manner, for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period (the first quarter of fiscal year 2017 for the Company). Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact, if any, of ASU 2015-11 on its consolidated financial statements.

In February, 2016, the FASB issued its new lease accounting guidance in Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: 1. A lease liability, which is a lessee‘s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and, 2. A right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term.

Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largely unchanged. Certain targeted improvements were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The new lease guidance simplified the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions primarily because lessees must recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. Lessees will no longer be provided with a source of off-balance sheet financing. Public business entities should apply the amendments in ASU 2016-02 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years (i.e., January 1, 2019, for a calendar year Company). Early application is permitted for all public business entities upon issuance. Lessees (for capital and operating leases) and lessors (for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees and lessors may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact, if any, of ASU 2016-02 on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2015, the FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which changes how deferred taxes are classified on organizations’ balance sheet. The ASU eliminates the current requirement for organizations to present deferred tax liabilities and assets as current and noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. Instead, all deferred tax assets and liabilities will be required to be classified as noncurrent.The amendments apply to all organizations that present a classified balance sheet. For public companies, the amendments are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods (i.e., in the first quarter of 2017 for calendar year-end companies).Early adoption is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period.The guidance may be applied either prospectively, for all deferred tax assets and liabilities, or retrospectively (i.e., by reclassifying the comparative balance sheet). If applied prospectively, entities are required to include a statement that prior periods were not retrospectively adjusted. If applied retrospectively, entities are also required to include quantitative information about the effects of the change on prior periods. The Company does not believe this ASU will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
