Wave has federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $316,802,000, which expire beginning in 2015 through 2035 and include approximately $8,074,000 of net operating loss carryforwards of Safend, Inc., a wholly owned US-based subsidiary of Safend, Ltd.  Pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, the annual utilization of Wave’s net operating and capital loss carryforwards may be substantially limited if a cumulative change in ownership of more than 50% occurs within any three-year period.  Wave has not determined whether there have been such cumulative changes in ownership or the impact on the utilization of the loss carryforwards if such changes have occurred.  However, in considering Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, Wave believes that it is likely that such a change in ownership has occurred thus raising the likelihood that such net operating and capital loss carryforwards are subject to annual limitations.  In addition, the Company maintains approximately $16,000,000 of operating loss carryforwards associated with Safend, Ltd., which may be carried forward indefinitely.
