Explanatory Note for this Amendment
The Annual Report on Form 20-F of the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2003 (the “Annual Report”) that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 22, 2004 included audited financial statements of the Company; however, the Company’s auditors at that time, Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer , A Member of Ernst & Young Global stated in their report that because of the possible material effects on the financial statements of the then-proposed voluntary liquidation of the Company, they were unable to, and did not at that time express an opinion on the audited financial statements. The audited financial statements included in the Annual Report therefore did not include an auditors report complying with the requirements of the Form. Consequently, the certification normally required pursuant to 18 U.S.C. Section 1350, as adopted pursuant to Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 was also omitted from the filing.
In addition, the financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2003 previously filed as part of the Annual Report have been amended to reflect certain adjustments. The adjustments relate to a provision for director’s compensation due but unpaid, in an amount of approximately $101,000, that was not included in the financial statements, a provision for a lawsuit which was settled on June 8, 2004, and accordingly, the amount of this provision was decreased by approximately $11,000 less than the amount that was accrued in the financial statements, and the cancellation of an uncollectible VAT balance in an amount of approximately $9,000. The Company has amended the balance sheet as of December 31, 2003 and the statement of operations and the statements of changes in shareholders’ equity for the year ended December 31, 2003 to reflect these adjustments and also to correct an error in the number of ordinary shares outstanding as of December 31, 2003.

2. | “Item 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS” |
(a) In the paragraph entitled “Results of Operation – Years Ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001":
1. | In the 10th paragraph, the reference to operating loss is amended to $111,000 instead of $12,000 as a result of: (i) a provision for director’s compensation due but unpaid, in an amount of approximately $101,000, that was not included in the financial statements; (ii) a provision for a lawsuit which was settled on June 8, 2004, and accordingly, the amount of this provision was decreased by approximately $11,000 less than the amount that was accrued in the financial statements; and (iii) the cancellation of an uncollectible VAT balance in an amount of approximately $9,000 ; and |
3
2. | In the penultimate paragraph the reference to the net operating loss for 2003 is increased from approximately $35,000 to approximately $134,000. |
(b) In paragraph B. entitled “Liquidity and Capital Resources”, the reference to the ratio of current assets to current liabilities at December 31, 2003 is amended from “2.94:1.00” to “1.5433:1.00".
3. | Item 15. “CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES” is hereby amended to read as follows: |
“Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 20F. Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act was accumulated and communicated to our management, including chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual financial statements would not be prevented or detected. As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 20F, we have concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was ineffective and that we had material weaknesses as set out below in this Item 15.
1. Disclosure Controls
From July 2004 until April 2007, the Company was placed in voluntary liquidation and had no functioning board of directors or board-related committees as an outside liquidator managed all of the Company’s affairs. During this period, we ceased preparing audited financial statements which resulted in the Company being delinquent with respect to its annual report filing obligations with the SEC. Consequently, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions.
4
2. 2003 Restatement
In connection with the preparation and filing of the Annual report on Form 20F in June 2004, the Company’s controls over period end reporting were not operating effectively due to the imminent commencement of liquidation proceedings at that time. These ineffective controls lead to certain errors at the date of the filing. These errors resulted in the need for restatements as described in Note 1(a)(2) to the financial statements.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Following the cancellation of our voluntary liquidation proceedings in April 2007, we have taken certain actions to remediate our material weaknesses including:
— | Re-establishing a board of directors including an audit committee; and |
— | Creating an internal audit function; and |
— | Hiring a professional services firm to perform accounting and financial reporting functions. |
As a result of these and other measures we have taken to date, we believe the material weaknesses related to the financial statement close process reported in this Annual Report on Form 20-F, have been remediated, as of the date of this filing. “
No other items were affected by the adjustments referred to above.
Accordingly, this amendment also contains the following:
Report of Independent Auditors on the Financial Statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 |
The full Financial Statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 |
Certification pursuant to 18 U.S.C. Section 1350, as adopted pursuant to Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 |

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the shareholders of
I.I.S. INTELLIGENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS LIMITED
We have audited the balance sheet of I.I.S. Intelligent Information Systems Limited (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2003 and the statement of operations, of changes in shareholders’ equity and of cash flows for the year in the period ended December 31, 2003. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s Board of Directors and management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We did not audit the financial statements of an associated company, the Company’s share in losses of which is $20,000 in the year ended December 31, 2003. Those financial statements were audited by other independent registered public accounting firm whose report thereon has been furnished to us, and our opinion expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for this company, is based solely on the report of the other independent registered public accounting firm.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the Company’s Board of Directors and management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion the financial statements referred to above, present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2003 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the year in the period ended December 31, 2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed in Note 1a(2) to the financial statements, the Company has restated its 2003 financial statements. Such financial statements, before the restatement referred to above, were reported on by another independent registered public accounting firm who issued a disclaimer of opinion on these financial statements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 | – | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: |
a. | General: |
1) | Operations |
Through December 2002, I.I.S. Intelligent Information Systems Limited. (“the Company”) designed, developed and provided enterprise storage solutions for the Internet Small Computer Systems Interface (“iSCSI”). The Company’s products were customized software implementation projects for the development and integration of iSCSI interface into existing storage devices and a family of comprehensive IP storage testing tools, for iSCSI protocol analysis of SAN devices. Due to the slow down associated with the iSCSI revenues resulting from the delays in the adoption of the iSCSI protocol, the Company decided to cease its iSCSI operations in December 2002. |
As of December 31, 2003, the Company is no longer engaged in any operational business activity other than managing its holdings in StoreAge Networking Technologies Ltd. (“StoreAge”) and Enargis Storage Solutions Ltd. (“Enargis”) (see note 2 below). |
On July 29, 2004, the Company’s shareholders resolved to place the Company in a voluntary liquidation. |
On April 17, 2007, the Company’s general meeting of shareholders duly approved the termination of the Company’s voluntary liquidation. |
Since the voluntary liquidation was not considered imminent, these financial statements are presented on a going-concern basis. |
2) | Restatement |
The financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003, have been restated to correct for the following items: |
U.S dollars in thousands | ||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
a. Director's compensation that should have been recognized in 2003, | ||||||
yet has not been provided for in 2003 (see also note 6a) | $ | 101 | ||||
b. Claim against NetWiz Ltd. (see also note 6f) that was settled on June | ||||||
8, 2004 in which the Company paid a final conclusive payment | ||||||
of $39,000. The Company has not considered the settlement | ||||||
agreement and has as a result mistakenly recognized a provision in the | ||||||
amount of $50,000 instead of $39,000 | (11 | ) | ||||
c. Recognition of a VAT balance which the Company is unable to collect | ||||||
and should have been written off | 9 | |||||
d. Tax effect of the above errors corrections is a change in deferred taxes | ||||||
in respect of carryforward losses and correspondence change in the | ||||||
valuation allowance | - | |||||

3) | Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Benefits |
As a result of the lack of resources to support the iSCSI operations, the Company issued dismissal letters to its employees during the year ended December 31, 2002. Consequently, the Company recorded a one time charge of $60 thousand related to the cessation of iSCSI operations which was accounted for in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) No. 94-3 “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (Including Certain Costs in Restructuring)", (“EITF No. 94-3”) and Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 100 “Restructuring and Impairment Charges” (“SAB No. 100”). |

4) | Accounting principles |
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). |
5) | Functional currency |
The currency of the primary economic environment in which the operations of the Company are conducted is the U.S. dollar (“dollar”; “$”). Most of the Company’s revenue and expenses are incurred in dollars. The Company’s deposits are mostly in dollars. Thus, the functional currency of the Company is the dollar. |
Transactions and balances originally denominated in dollars are presented at their original amounts. Balances in non-dollar currencies are translated into dollars using historical and current exchange rates for non-monetary and monetary balances, respectively. Non-dollar transactions reflected in the statements of operations are translated into dollars using exchange rates at the transaction dates or average rates. Currency transaction gains or losses are carried to financial income or expenses, as appropriate. |
6) | Use of estimates in preparation of financial statements |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting policies (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |

b. | Cash equivalents |
The Company considers all highly liquid investments, which are comprised of short-term bank deposits with an original maturity date of up to three months) that are not restricted as to withdrawal or use, to be cash equivalents. |
c. | Deferred income taxes |
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Deferred taxes are determined utilizing the asset and liability method, based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial accounting and tax bases of assets and liabilities under the applicable tax laws. Deferred tax balances are computed using the tax rates expected to be in effect at time when these differences reverse. |
Valuation allowances in respect of the deferred tax assets are provided when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. |
The Company has provided a full valuation allowance with respect to its deferred tax assets. |
d. | Investments in associated companies |
Investments in associated companies are investments in companies held to the extent of 20% or more which the Company can exercise significant influence over operating and financial policy. |
As the Company has no guaranteed obligations and not otherwise committed to provide further financial support for any of the associated companies, the Company discontinued applying the equity method when the investment account was reduced to zero. |
e. | Fixed assets: |
1) | Fixed assets are stated at cost. |
2) | The assets are depreciated by the straight-line method, on basis of their estimated useful life. |

f. | Impairment of long-lived assets |
Under FAS 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”(“FAS 144”), the Company reviews long-lived assets, to be held and used, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. Under FAS 144, if the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) of the long-lived assets is less than the carrying amount of such assets, an impairment loss would be recognized, and the assets are written down to their estimated fair values. |
During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company abandoned some of its office furniture and equipment. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment charge in the amount of $12,000. |
g. | Goodwill |
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost over the net assets of businesses acquired. Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS No. 142”) goodwill acquired in a business combination on or after July 1, 2001, is not amortized. Goodwill that arose from acquisitions prior to July 1, 2001, was amortized until December 31, 2001, on a straight-line basis over five years. |
SFAS No. 142 requires goodwill to be tested for impairment on adoption and at least annually thereafter or between annual tests in certain circumstances, and written down when impaired, rather than being amortized as previous accounting standards required. Goodwill attributable to each of the reporting units is tested for impairment by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying value. Fair value is determined using discounted cash flows, market multiples and market capitalization. Significant estimates used in the methodologies include estimates of future cash flows, future short-term and long-term growth rates, weighted average cost of capital and estimates of market multiples for each of the reportable units. |
During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company performed the required impairment tests of goodwill’s fair value. Based on management assessment at December 31, 2002, the entire goodwill in the amount of $186,000 was impaired and written off. |

h. | Revenue recognition |
Through December 2002, the Company had derived revenues from research and development services to an associated company, licensing fees for their products and maintenance. The Company sells their products primarily through its direct sales force. |
Research and development services to an associated company are recognized according to milestones determined in an agreement. |
Maintenance revenues were deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the maintenance agreement. |
In addition, the Company is entitled to commissions of 3% out of revenues derived from outstanding customers of the Company, existing at that time, prior to the completion of the transaction with Enargis (See also note 2a). |
Revenues from software license agreements are recognized when all criteria outlined in Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2 “Software Revenue Recognition” (as amended) are met. Therefore, revenue from licensing fees is recognized when persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, delivery of the product has occurred, no significant obligations with regard to implementation remain, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectability is probable. |
The Company do not grant a right of return to their customers. If the fee is not fixed or determinable, revenues are recognized as payments become due from the customer provided that all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. |
i. | Research and development costs |
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86 “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed” (“SFAS No. 86”), 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. The Company does not incur material costs between the completion of the working model and the point at which the products are ready for general release. Therefore, research and development costs are charged to the statement of operations as incurred. |
j. | Reclassifications |
Certain figures in respect of prior years have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. |
k. | Net loss per share |
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. |

NOTE 1 | – | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued): |
Diluted net loss per share are computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year, taking into account the potential dilution that could occur upon the exercise of options granted under employee stock option plans, using the treasury stock method. In the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 all outstanding stock options have been excluded from the calculation of the diluted net loss per share since their effect was anti-dilutive. |
The diluted loss per share does not include options of the Company in the amount of 774,717, 1,125,674 and 1,109,328 for the years 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. |
l. | Accounting for stock based compensation |
Stock options granted to employees are accounted for under the recognition and measurement principles of APB No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and related interpretations. Under APB 25, compensation cost for employee stock option plans is measured using the intrinsic value based method of accounting. |
Accordingly, the difference, if any, between the quoted market price of the ordinary shares on the date of grant of the options and the exercise price of such options is charged on the date of grant to shareholders’ equity under “deferred compensation”, and thereafter amortized by the accelerated amortization method, against income, over the expected service period (up to four years). |
FAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, established a fair value based method of accounting for employee stock options or similar equity instruments, and encourages adoption of such method for stock compensation plans. However, it also allows companies to continue to account for those plans using the accounting treatment prescribed by APB 25. The Company has elected to continue accounting for employee stock option plans under APB 25, and has accordingly complied with the disclosure requirements set forth in FAS 123, as amended by FAS 148, for companies electing to apply APB 25. |
When stock options are granted as consideration for services provided by non-employees, the transaction is accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the stock options issued, whichever is more reliably measurable, pursuant to the guidance in Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services”. The fair value of the options granted is recalculated over the related service period and is recognized over the respective service period using the straight-line method. |

Risk-free interest | 2% | 5% |

m. | Concentration of credit risks |
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, restricted short-term bank deposit and receivable on account of lawsuit settlement. The majority of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and the restricted deposit, are deposited in U.S. dollars in major banks in Israel. Such deposits in the U.S. may be in excess of insured limits and are not insured in other jurisdictions. Management believes that the financial institutions that hold the investments of the Company are financially sound and, accordingly, minimal risk exists with respect to these investments. |

n. | Newly issued and recently adopted accounting pronouncements: |
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued the revised Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”) No. 123, Share-based payment (FAS 123R), which addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions in which the Company obtains employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the Company or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the Company’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. This Statement eliminates the ability to account for employee share-based payment transactions using APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting For Stock Issued To Employees, and requires instead that such transactions be accounted for using the grant-date fair value based method. This Statement will be effective as of the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins July 1, 2005. Early adoption of FAS 123R is encouraged. On April 15, 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission approved a new rule, under which FAS 123R is effective for public companies at the beginning of their next fiscal year that begins after June 15, 2005 (first quarter of 2006 for the company). This Statement applies to all awards granted or modified after the Statement’s effective date. In addition, compensation cost for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain outstanding on the Statement’s effective date shall be recognized on or after the effective date, as the related services are rendered, based on the awards’ grant-date fair value as previously calculated for the pro-forma disclosure under FAS 123. The Company expects that upon the adoption of FAS 123R, it will apply the modified prospective application transition method, as permitted by the Statement. Under such transition method, upon the adoption of FAS 123R, the Company’s financial statements for periods prior to the effective date of the Statement will not be restated. |
In December 2004, the FASB issued FAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets –An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29” (FAS 153). FAS 153 amends APB Opinion No. 29, “Accounting for Non-monetary Transactions” (Opinion 29). The amendments made by FAS 153 are based on the principle that exchanges of non-monetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. Further, the amendments eliminate the exception for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replace it with a general exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance. The provisions in FAS 153 are effective for non-monetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005 (July 1, 2005 for the Company). Early application of the FAS 153 is permitted. The provisions of this Statement shall be applied prospectively. |
The Company does not expect the adoption of FAS 153 to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements or its results of operations. |
In May 2005, the FASB issued FAS 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections”(FAS 154). FAS 154 is a replacement of Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3. FAS 154 provides guidance on the accounting for and reporting of accounting changes and error corrections. It establishes retrospective application as the required method for reporting a change in accounting principle. FAS 154 also requires that a change in depreciation, amortization, or depletion method for long-lived, nonfinancial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate effected by a change in accounting principle. |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
NOTE 1 | – | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued): |
The Statement carries forward the guidance contained in APB No. 20 for reporting the correction of an error in previously issued financial statements and a change in accounting estimate. FAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005 (January 1, 2006 for the Company). The Company does not expect this standard to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements or results of operations. |
In June 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes –an interpretation of FAS 109” (FIN 48). This financial interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on various related matters such as de-recognition, interest and penalties and disclosure. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of the application of FIN 48 on its financial statements and results of operations. |
In September 2006, the FASB issued FAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (FAS 157). This standard establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands related disclosure requirements; however, it does not require any new fair value measurement. The provisions of FAS 157 are effective for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting of FAS 157 on its financial statements and results of operations. |
In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 108, which expresses the Staff’s views regarding the process of quantifying financial statement misstatements. The bulletin was effective as of the year beginning January 1, 2006. The implementation of this bulletin had no impact on the Company’s financial statements. |
In February 2007, the FASB issued FAS 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (FAS 159). This standard permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. The provisions of FAS 159 are effective for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 159 on its financial position, cash flows and results of operations. The Company does not expect the impact to have a material effect on its financial position, cash flows and results of operations. |

c. | Memorandum Of Agreement (“MOA”) with Witech Communications Ltd. (“Witech”) |
On February 20, 2007, the Company signed a MOA with Witech with respect to a contemplated merger between the Company and Witech, under which the Company is to acquire full control and ownership of Witech, in consideration of 50% of Company’s shares. In addition, the Company is to provide certain loans to Witech (see below). The closing of the merger with Witech is subject to numerous terms and conditions, among others: satisfaction, in the sole discretion of the Company, of Company’s due diligence requirements, including technical, financial and legal diligence, the signing of mutually acceptable Final Agreements containing additional provisions customary in transactions of this type, obtaining of a ruling from the Israeli Tax Authority confirming that the Merger will be tax-free subject to reasonable conditions set forth therein, the mutual execution of employment agreements between the Company and the senior management of Witech who will become the Company’s employees, the termination of the Company’s voluntary liquidation proceedings, the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors and general meeting of shareholders. In addition and without derogating from the aforesaid, the Company shall not be obligated to consummate the contemplated transaction if at any time before the consummation of the merger of Witech with and into the Company there is any effect, change, event, circumstance or condition which, when considered with all other effects, changes, events, circumstances or conditions, has or would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, assets (including intangible assets), prospects (including due to the loss or resignation, or notice of loss or resignation, of key employees of Witech and its subsidiary), results of operations or financial condition of Witech and its subsidiary taken together as a whole. If the Tax Ruling is subject to unreasonable conditions, the Company and Witech will negotiate in good faith an alternative structure for the transaction. |
From April 2007 through August 2007, according to the MOA, the Company provided loans to Witech in the total amount of $3,200,000. The above mentioned loans bear an annual interest rate of LIBOR plus 5%, whilst in the event that the merger is not consummated, the interest on the loans will be increased to LIBOR plus 10% (or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower) retroactively to the date it was provided to Witech. |
If the merger is not consummated, Witech may have difficulty in repaying the loans provided by the Company and, if Witech is in default, the Company may not be able to recoup its loans through exercise of the charge on Witech’s assets. |

(“West End”), a company that is owned by Robi Hartman, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. As of April 1, 2003, this lease was assumed by Enargis which sublet 35% of the premises to the Company at an annual cost of approximately $12,000. The financial statements include provisions for the aforesaid postponed rent payments. As of November 2005, the sub-lease was transferred back to West End. Following termination of the voluntary liquidation proceedings in April 2007, the Company increased its sublease from 35% to 50% of the premises. The annual cost increased, proportionally, based on the original agreement, with a cap of $3,000 per month (on an average) and will be valid until the later of (1) the merger with Witech or (2) December 31, 2007. |

In December 2000, the Company issued to investors, convertible debentures and warrants to purchase 300,000 Ordinary shares in consideration of $ 3,000.

In addition, the lenders agreed to the cancellation of the warrants granted as part of the convertible debenture agreement. |

Accordingly, the Company recorded in the year ended December 31, 2001, $ 1,346 as financial expenses related to the beneficial conversion feature from the induced conversion offer and an additional $ 145 in respect of the discount on the convertible debentures. |

During 2000, the status of StoreAge’s employees was changed from that of employees to non-employees. This resulted from the decrease in the Company’s equity interest in StoreAge, and the de-consolidation of StoreAge. Additionally, during 2001, three employees of the Company became StoreAge’s employees. |
Consequently, options granted to the aforementioned employees were remeasured at the date of change in status under the fair value method, according to FIN No. 44 and SFAS No. 123. |
The fair value for these options was estimated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following weighted-average assumptions for each of the three years in December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001: risk-free interest rates of 3%, 2% and 5%, respectively, dividend yields of 0% for each year, volatility factors of the expected market price of the Company’s Ordinary shares of 1.52, 1.18 and 1.25, respectively, and a weighted-average expected life of an option of four years for each year. The weighted average fair value of these options is $ 0.22, $ 0.18 and $ 0.93 per option for 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. |
Compensation expenses of approximately $ 0, $0 and $ 29,000 were recognized during the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. |
During the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 no compensation expenses were recorded due to immateriality of compensation amounts. |
