testing and analysis solutions for Voice-over-IP, or VoIP, and data
over cellular networks;
o capitalizing upon our customer base and distribution channels to
gain understanding into the emerging needs of the marketplace;
o broadening market penetration by expanding our traditional customer
base to include convergence market segments; and
o continuing to enhance our distribution channels.
Our sales network includes 10 manufacturer's representatives in North
America, a sales office in China and, in the rest of the world, a network of
more than 55 distributors selling in over 45 countries. Our test and analysis
equipment has been sold to a number of international companies and government
agencies including AT&T, AT&T Wireless, British Telecom, Telstra, Deutsche
Telekom, Verizon, Vodafon, KPN, Nortel Networks, Lucent, Siemens, Cisco NTT,
NEC, Nokia, Alcatel and Ericsson.
THE OFFERING
On March 29, 2004, we completed a private placement transaction in which
we issued 3,851,540 of our ordinary shares at $1.428 per share, for an aggregate
purchase price of approximately $5.5 million before expenses, and warrants to
purchase up to 962,887 of our ordinary shares. The warrants are exercisable
until March 28, 2006 at an exercise price of $2.253 per ordinary share. We
agreed with the recipients of our ordinary shares and warrants to register for
public resale the 3,851,540 ordinary shares issued to them in the private
placement and the 962,887 ordinary shares issuable to them upon exercise of the
warrants. This prospectus has been prepared, and the registration statement of
which this prospectus is a part has been filed with the SEC, to satisfy our
obligations to the recipients of our ordinary shares and warrants.
Accordingly, this prospectus covers:
o the resale by selling shareholders of our ordinary shares issued in
the private placement; and
o the resale by selling shareholders of our ordinary shares issuable
upon exercise of the warrants issued in the private placement.
Investing in our ordinary shares involves risks. You should carefully
consider the information under "Risk Factors" beginning on page 5 and the other
information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus before
investing in our ordinary shares.
4
RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the risks described below and all the
information contained or incorporated by reference into this prospectus before
making an investment decision regarding our ordinary shares. The risks described
below are not the only risks facing our company. Our business, financial
condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any
of these risks. The trading price of our ordinary shares could decline due to
any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
Risks Related to our Business and our Industry
We incurred losses for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003, and we
may incur losses again in the future.
In each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003, we
incurred losses of approximately $11.4 million, $4.7 million, and $6.2 million,
respectively. We may continue to incur losses in the future, which could
materially affect our cash and adversely affect the value and market price of
our shares.
From time to time we may need to raise financing. If adequate funds are not
available on terms favorable to us, our operations and growth strategy will be
materially adversely affected.
As a result of the net losses during the year ended December 31, 2003, we
used approximately $4.6 million in cash during that period. We continue to
streamline our operations with the objective of aligning our business and cost
structure with the changing marketplace. Nevertheless, from time to time we are
required to raise financing in connection with our operations and growth
strategy. In March 2004, we raised $5.5 million in a private placement of
3,851,540 of our ordinary shares and warrants to purchase 962,887 of our
ordinary shares. This equity financing enabled us, among other things, to
sustain near-term compliance with certain continued listing requirements of the
Nasdaq National Market. Depending upon our level of revenues in the future and
the strategies which we adopt, we may need to raise additional debt or equity
capital to meet our working capital needs in the future. We do not know whether
additional financing will be available when needed, or whether it will be
available on terms favorable to us. If adequate funds are not available on terms
favorable to us, our operations and growth strategy will be materially adversely
affected.
We have a history of quarterly fluctuations in our results of operations and
expect these fluctuations to continue. This may cause our stock price to
decline.
We have experienced and expect to experience in the future significant
fluctuations in our quarterly results of operations. Factors that may contribute
to fluctuations in our quarterly results of operations include:
o the size, timing and shipment of orders;
o customer deferral of orders in anticipation of new products, product
upgrades or price enhancements;
o the purchasing patterns and budget cycles of our customers;
o seasonality, including the relatively low level of general business
activity during the summer months in Europe and during the winter
months in South America;
5
o lengthening sales cycles and sales and marketing expenses associated
with any deferred or lost sales;
o the mix of product sales;
o expenses, such as rent and salaries, that are largely fixed in
nature constituting a significant portion of our operating expenses;
and
o the size and timing of approval of grants from the Government of
Israel.
Our customers ordinarily require the delivery of products promptly after
we accept their orders. We usually do not have a significant backlog of accepted
orders. Consequently, revenues in any quarter depend on orders received and
accepted in that quarter. The deferral of the placing and acceptance of any
large order from one quarter to another could materially adversely affect
results of operations for a given quarter. If our revenues in any quarter remain
level or decline in comparison to any prior quarter, our financial results could
be materially adversely affected. In addition, if we do not reduce our expenses
in a timely manner in response to level or declining revenues, our financial
results for that quarter could be materially adversely affected. Any quarterly
fluctuations in our results of operations may have a material adverse effect on
the market price of our ordinary shares.
We might not satisfy all the requirements for continued listing on the Nasdaq
National Market, and our shares may be delisted.
The Nasdaq Stock Market has a number of requirements for the continued
listing of shares on the Nasdaq National Market. For example, the company is
required to maintain minimum shareholders' equity of $10 million, a minimum
market value of publicly held shares of $5 million and the company's shares must
have a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share. From time to time in the past year,
our share price decreased below the required minimum bid price, and we did not
maintain the required minimum market value of publicly held shares. In addition,
in 2003, we fell below the minimum $10 million shareholders' equity requirement.
In October 2003, we received a notice from Nasdaq that our shares would be
delisted from the Nasdaq National Market if we did not demonstrate a plan to
achieve and sustain compliance with all of the continued listing requirements.
We submitted a plan of compliance to Nasdaq and subsequently appeared before a
Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel to present an updated plan to achieve and
maintain compliance with all of the Nasdaq National Market continued listing
requirements. Our plan included, among other things, a recently completed $5.5
million private placement of ordinary shares and warrants. As a result of the
private placement, we are in compliance with the $10 million shareholders'
equity requirement. We cannot assure you, however, that we will maintain such
compliance over the long term or that we will be able to maintain compliance
with all of the continued listing requirements for the Nasdaq National Market.
If we fail to comply with any of the continued listing requirements, we could be
delisted from the Nasdaq National Market. Our shares would then be quoted on the
Nasdaq SmallCap Market (if we satisfy the continued listing requirements for
such market) or the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board.
A continuation of the slowdown in the telecommunications industry could
materially adversely affect our revenues and results of operations.
Telecommunications and data communications equipment developers,
manufacturers and carriers are the principal end-users of a large percentage of
our products. From 2001 through the first half of 2003, the telecommunications
industry in much of the world, including in our principal geographic
6
markets, experienced a slowdown, resulting in decreases and delays in the
procurement and deployment of new telecommunications equipment. In the second
half of 2003 we perceived an improvement in the general market for
telecommunications equipment, particularly in the cellular segment of the
market. However, we are unable to predict the duration of this trend or the
extent of any impact that it may have on our revenues or results of operations.
Any return to a prolonged and substantial curtailment of growth in the
telecommunications industry will likely have a material adverse effect upon us,
and may result from circumstances unrelated to us or our product offerings.
The market for our products is characterized by changing technology,
requirements, standards and products, and we may be materially adversely
affected if we do not respond promptly and effectively to such changes.
The market for our products is characterized by rapidly changing
technology, changing customer requirements, evolving industry standards and
frequent new product introductions, certain of which changes could reduce the
market for our products or require us to develop new products. For example, the
sharp reduction in demand for our ATM and frame relay products during 2003
resulted in significantly reduced revenues for the year. We continue to be
affected by the pre-2003 slowdown in the general telecommunications market and
by changing market demands for different technologies.
New or enhanced telecommunications and data communications-related
products developed by other companies could be incompatible with our products.
Therefore, our timely access to information concerning, and our ability to
anticipate, changes in technology and customer requirements and the emergence of
new industry standards, as well as our ability to develop, manufacture and
market new and enhanced products successfully and on a timely basis, will be
significant factors in our ability to remain competitive.
In addition, as a result of the need to develop new and enhanced products,
we expect to continue making investments in research and development before or
after product introductions. Some of our research and development activities
relate to long-term projects, and these activities may fail to achieve their
technical or business targets and may be terminated at any point, and revenues
expected from these activities may not be received for a substantial time, if at
all.
Our inventory may become obsolete or unusable.
We make advance purchases of various component parts in relatively large
quantities to ensure that we have an adequate and readily available supply. Our
failure to accurately project our needs for these components and the demand for
our products that incorporate them, or changes in our business strategy or
technology that reduce our need for these components, could result in these
components becoming obsolete prior to their intended use or otherwise unusable
in our business. For example, in 2003 we wrote-off $960,000 of inventory which
we determined to be obsolete.
We are dependent on our key personnel, in particular Arnon Toussia-Cohen, our
President and Chief Executive Officer, the loss of whom could negatively affect
our business.
Our future success depends in large part on the continued services of our
senior management and key personnel. In particular, we are highly dependent on
the services of Arnon Toussia-Cohen, our President and Chief Executive Officer.
Any loss of the services of Arnon Toussia-Cohen, other members of senior
management or other key personnel could negatively affect our business.
7
We may lose significant market share as a result of intense competition in the
markets for our existing and future products.
Many companies compete with us in the market for internetworking test and
analysis solutions and voice quality management. We expect that competition will
increase in the future, both with respect to products that we currently offer
and products that we are developing. Moreover, manufacturers of data
communications and telecommunications equipment, which are current and potential
customers of ours, may in the future incorporate into their products
capabilities similar to ours, which would reduce the demand for our products. In
addition, affiliates of ours that currently provide services to us may, in the
future, compete with us.
Many of our existing and potential competitors have substantially greater
resources including financial, technological, engineering, manufacturing and
marketing and distribution capabilities, and several of them may enjoy greater
market recognition than us. We may not be able to compete effectively with our
competitors. A failure to do so could adversely affect our revenues and
profitability.
We are dependent upon the success of distributors and manufacturer's
representatives who are under no obligation to distribute our products.
We are highly dependent upon our distributors and manufacturer's
representatives for their active marketing and sales efforts and for the
distribution of our products. Many of our manufacturer's representatives in
North America and several of our distributors outside of North America are the
only entities engaged in the distribution of our products in their respective
geographical areas. Typically, our arrangements with them do not prevent our
distributors from distributing competitive products, or require them to
distribute our products in the future. Our distributors may not give a high
priority to marketing and supporting our products. Our results of operations
could be materially adversely affected by changes in the financial condition,
business or marketing strategies of our distributors. Any such changes could
occur suddenly and rapidly.
We may lose distributors or manufacturer's representatives on which we currently
depend and we may not succeed in developing new distribution channels.
Our seven largest distributors in Europe and Asia accounted for a total of
approximately 31.3% of our sales in 2001, 22.4% of our sales in 2002, and 30.1%
of our sales in 2003. Our six largest manufacturer's representatives in North
America accounted for a total of approximately 31% of our sales in 2001, 30.5%
of our sales in 2002, and 34.7% of our sales in 2003. If we terminate or lose
any of our distributors or manufacturer's representatives, or if they downsize
significantly, we may not be successful in replacing them on a timely basis, or
at all. Any changes in our distribution and sales channels, particularly the
loss of a major distributor or our inability to establish effective distribution
and sales channels for new products, will impact our ability to sell our
products and result in a loss of revenues.
We could be subject to warranty claims and product recalls, which could be very
expensive and harm our financial condition.
Products as complex as ours sometimes contain undetected errors. These
errors can cause delays in product introductions or require design
modifications. In addition, we are dependent on other suppliers for key
components incorporated in our products. Defects in systems in which our
products are deployed, whether resulting from faults in our products or products
supplied by others, from faulty installation or from any other cause may result
in customer dissatisfaction, product return and, potentially, product liability
claims filed against us. Our warranties permit customers to return defective
products for repair. The warranty period is typically one to two years. Any
failure of a system in which our products are
8
deployed (whether or not our products are the cause), product recall, product
liability claim and any associated negative publicity could result in the loss
of, or delay in, market acceptance of our products and harm our business.
We depend on limited sources for key components and if we are unable to obtain
these components when needed we will experience delays in manufacturing our
products.
We currently obtain key components for our products from either a single
supplier or a limited number of suppliers. We do not have long-term supply
contracts with any of our existing suppliers. This presents the following risks:
o Delays in delivery or shortages in components could interrupt and
delay manufacturing and result in cancellations of orders for our
products.
o Suppliers could increase component prices significantly and with
immediate effect.
o We may not be able to develop alternative sources for product
components.
o Suppliers could discontinue the manufacture or supply of components
used in our products. This may require us to modify our products,
which may cause delays in product shipments, increased manufacturing
costs and increased product prices.
o We may be required to hold more inventory than would be immediately
required in order to avoid problems from shortages or
discontinuance.
We have experienced delays and shortages in the supply of components on
more than one occasion in the past. This resulted in delays in our delivering
products to our customers.
Our proprietary technology is difficult to protect and unauthorized use of our
proprietary technology by third parties may impair our ability to compete
effectively.
Our success and ability to compete depend in large part upon protecting
our proprietary technology. We rely upon a combination of contractual rights,
software licenses, trade secrets, copyrights, nondisclosure agreements and
technical measures to establish and protect our intellectual property rights in
our products and technologies. In addition, we sometimes enter into
non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements with our employees, distributors
and manufacturers representatives and with certain suppliers with access to
sensitive information. However, we have no registered patents, and these
measures may not be adequate to protect our technology from third-party
infringement. Moreover, pursuant to current U.S. and Israeli laws, we may not be
able to enforce existing non-competition agreements. Additionally, effective
trademark, patent and trade secret protection may not be available in every
country in which we offer, or intend to offer, our products.
We are subject to litigation regarding intellectual property rights which could
seriously harm our business.
Third parties may from time to time assert against us infringement claims
or claims that we have violated a patent or infringed a copyright, trademark or
other proprietary right belonging to them. If such infringement were found to
exist, we may be required to modify our products or intellectual property or
obtain a license or right to use such technology or intellectual property. Any
infringement claim, even if not meritorious, could result in the expenditure of
significant financial and managerial resources.
9
On January 13, 2004, we were served with a complaint, in the United States
District Court for the District of New Jersey, by Acterna, LLC, alleging that
certain of our products infringed one or more claims of a patent allegedly owned
by Acterna. No precise amount of damages has been asserted to date. We filed an
answer to the complaint denying the allegations in the complaint and served a
counterclaim for a declaratory judgment, attacking the patent being asserted on
the basis of non-infringement, invalidity due to prior existing technology, and
unenforceability due to certain alleged improper actions taken by Acterna in
obtaining the patent. We believe that our defenses are meritorious and we intend
to vigorously defend our right to sell the products. Should it ever become
necessary to do so, we believe that we can continue to sell the accused products
using alternative technologies. At this stage, it is not possible to estimate
the amount of the potential damages or the chances of success relating to this
lawsuit.
Yehuda Zisapel and Zohar Zisapel, beneficially own approximately 34.9% of our
ordinary shares, including 255,602 shares which may be issued upon exercise of
the warrants, and therefore have significant influence over the outcome of
matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors.
As of March 31, 2004, Yehuda Zisapel and Zohar Zisapel (our Chairman of
the Board of Directors), who are brothers, beneficially owned an aggregate of
5,146,562 ordinary shares, including 255,602 shares which may be issued upon
exercise of the warrants, representing approximately 34.9% of the ordinary
shares outstanding following the private placement. As a result, Yehuda Zisapel
and Zohar Zisapel have significant influence over the outcome of various actions
that require shareholder approval, including the election of our directors. In
addition, Yehuda Zisapel and Zohar Zisapel may be able to delay or prevent a
transaction in which shareholders might receive a premium over the prevailing
market price for their shares and prevent changes in control of management.
We engage in transactions with companies controlled by Yehuda Zisapel and Zohar
Zisapel, which may result in potential conflicts.
As more fully described below, we are engaged in and expect to continue to
be engaged in numerous transactions with companies controlled by Yehuda Zisapel
and Zohar Zisapel. We believe that such transactions are beneficial to us and
are generally conducted upon terms which are no less favorable to us than would
be available from unaffiliated third parties. Several products of such
affiliated companies may be used in place of our products, and it is possible
that direct competition between us and one or more of such affiliated companies
may develop in the future. Moreover, opportunities to develop, manufacture, or
sell new products (or otherwise enter new fields) may arise in the future and be
pursued by one or more affiliated companies instead of or in competition with
us. This could materially adversely affect our business and results of
operations.
We may encounter difficulties with our international operations and sales which
could affect our results of operations.
While we are headquartered in Israel, approximately 98.4% of our sales in
2002 and 99.2% of our sales in 2003 were generated outside of Israel, including
in North America, Europe, Asia, South America and Australia. This subjects us to
many risks inherent in international business activities, including:
o national standardization and certification requirements and changes
in tax law and regulatory requirements;
o longer sales cycles, especially upon entry into a new geographical
market;
10
o export license requirements;
o trade restrictions;
o changes in tariffs;
o currency fluctuations;
o economic or political instability;
o greater difficulty in safeguarding intellectual property; and
o difficulties in managing overseas subsidiaries and international
operations.
We may encounter significant difficulties in connection with the sale of
our products in international markets as a result of one or more of these
factors.
The ordinary shares issued to investors in the PIPE transaction, ordinary shares
underlying the warrants issued in the PIPE transaction, and ordinary shares
underlying our options, may be sold in the public market, which could materially
adversely affect the market price of our ordinary shares and our ability to
raise capital through an offering of securities.
In connection with the PIPE investment, we issued 3,851,540 ordinary
shares and warrants to purchase 962,887 ordinary shares. We are registering the
ordinary shares, and the shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrants, for
resale by filing a resale registration statement of which this prospectus forms
a part and we will keep the registration statement effective for a period of two
(2) years. In addition, as of March 31, 2004, options to purchase a total of
2,859,827 ordinary shares were outstanding, and an additional 801,197 ordinary
shares issuable pursuant to options which may be granted under our stock option
plans were reserved for issuance. All shares issued upon the exercise of these
options will be immediately available for sale in the public market, subject to
the terms of grant of the options. Sales of the ordinary shares issued in the
PIPE, sales of the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants or
options, or even the prospect of such sales, could materially adversely affect
the market price of our ordinary shares and our ability to raise capital through
our offering of securities.
If we are characterized as a passive foreign investment company, our U.S.
shareholders may suffer adverse tax consequences.
If for any taxable year our passive income, or our assets which
produce (or are held for the production of) passive income, exceed specified
levels, we may be characterized as a passive foreign investment company for
U.S. federal income tax purposes. This characterization could result in
adverse U.S. tax consequences to our U.S. shareholders. U.S. shareholders
should consult with their own U.S. tax advisors with respect to the U.S. tax
consequences of investing in our ordinary shares.
Volatility of the market price of our ordinary shares could adversely affect us
and our shareholders.
The market price of our ordinary shares has been and is likely to continue
to be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to
numerous factors, including the following:
o market conditions or trends in our industry;
11
o political, economic and other developments in the State of Israel
and world-wide;
o actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly operating results
or those of our competitors;
o announcements by us or our competitors of technological innovations
or new and enhanced products;
o changes in the market valuations of our competitors;
o announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions;
o entry into strategic partnerships or joint ventures by us or our
competitors; and
o additions or departures of key personnel.
In addition, the stock market in general, and the market for Israeli and
technology companies in particular, has been highly volatile. Many of these
factors are beyond our control and may materially adversely affect the market
price of our ordinary shares, regardless of our performance. Shareholders may
not be able to resell their ordinary shares following periods of volatility
because of the market's adverse reaction to such volatility and we may not be
able to raise capital through an offering of securities.
Any reversal or slowdown in deregulation of telecommunications markets could
materially harm the markets for our products.
Future growth in the markets for our products will depend, in part, on the
continued privatization, deregulation and the restructuring of
telecommunications markets worldwide, as the demand for our products is
generally higher when a competitive environment exists. Any reversal or slowdown
in the pace of this privatization, deregulation or restructuring could
materially harm the markets for our products. Moreover, the consequences of
deregulation are subject to many uncertainties, including judicial and
administrative proceedings that affect the pace at which the changes
contemplated by deregulation occur, and other regulatory, economic and political
factors. Furthermore, the uncertainties associated with deregulation have in the
past, and could in the future, cause our customers to delay purchasing decisions
pending the resolution of these uncertainties.
We do not intend to pay dividends.
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our ordinary shares.
We currently intend to retain any future earnings to finance operations and to
expand our business and, therefore, do not expect to pay any cash dividends in
the foreseeable future.
Risks Relating to Our Location in Israel
Conditions in Israel affect our operations and may limit our ability to produce
and sell our products.
We are incorporated under Israeli law and our principal offices and
manufacturing and research and development facilities are located in the State
of Israel. Political, economic and military conditions in Israel directly affect
our operations. Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, a number
of armed conflicts have taken place between Israel and its Arab neighbors and a
state of hostility, varying in degree and intensity, has led to security and
economic problems for Israel. We could be adversely
12
affected by hostilities involving Israel, the interruption or curtailment of
trade between Israel and its trading partners, a significant increase in
inflation, or a significant downturn in the economic or financial condition of
Israel. Since October 2000, there has been a marked increase in hostilities
between Israel and the Palestinians, which has adversely affected the peace
process and has negatively influenced Israel's relationship with several Arab
countries. Furthermore, certain parties with whom we do business have declined
to travel to Israel during this period, forcing us to make alternative
arrangements where necessary, and the United States Department of State and
other countries have issued an advisory regarding travel to Israel, impeding the
ability of travelers to attain travel insurance. Also, the political and
security situation in Israel may result in certain parties with whom we have
contracts claiming that they are not obligated to perform their commitments
pursuant to force majeure provisions of those contracts.
Since our manufacturing facilities are located exclusively in Israel, we
could experience disruption of our manufacturing due to acts of terrorism or any
other hostilities involving or threatening Israel. If an attack were to occur,
any Israeli military response that results in the call to duty of the country's
reservists (as further discussed below) could affect the performance of our
Israeli facilities for the short term. Our business interruption insurance may
not adequately compensate us for losses that may occur and any losses or damages
incurred by us could have a material adverse effect on our business. We do not
believe that the political and security situation has had any material impact on
our business to date; however, we can give no assurance that it will have no
such effect in the future.
Some neighboring countries, as well as certain companies and
organizations, continue to participate in a boycott of Israeli firms and others
doing business with Israel or with Israeli companies. We are also precluded from
marketing our products to certain of these countries due to U.S. and Israeli
regulatory restrictions. Because none of our revenue is currently derived from
sales to these countries, we believe that the boycott has not had a material
adverse effect on us. However, restrictive laws, policies or practices directed
towards Israel or Israeli businesses could have an adverse impact on the
expansion of our business.
All male adult citizens and permanent residents of Israel under the age of
51 are, unless exempt, obligated to perform up to approximately 31 days of
military reserve duty annually. Additionally, these residents are subject to
being called to active duty at any time under emergency circumstances. Many of
our officers and employees are currently obligated to perform annual reserve
duty. While we believe that we have operated relatively efficiently given these
requirements since we began operations and during the period of the increase in
hostilities with the Palestinians since October 2000, we cannot assess what the
full impact of these requirements on our workforce or business would be if the
situation with the Palestinians would change, and we cannot predict the effect
on our business operations of any expansion or reduction of these requirements.
We may be adversely affected if the rate of inflation in Israel exceeds the rate
of devaluation of the New Israeli Shekel against the dollar.
A portion of our expenses, primarily labor expenses, is incurred in New
Israeli Shekels, or NIS. As a result, we are exposed to the risk that the rate
of inflation in Israel will exceed the rate of devaluation of the NIS in
relation to the dollar or that the timing of this devaluation will lag behind
inflation in Israel. Although in recent years the rate of devaluation of the NIS
against the dollar exceeded the rate of inflation in Israel (a reversal from
prior years, which reversal benefited us), we cannot predict any future trends.
If the dollar costs of our operations in Israel increase, our dollar-measured
results of operations will be adversely affected.
13
We currently benefit from government programs and tax benefits which may be
discontinued or reduced.
We currently receive grants and tax benefits under Government of Israel
programs. In order to maintain our eligibility for these programs and benefits,
we must continue to meet specified conditions, including making specified
investments in fixed assets and paying royalties with respect to grants
received. In addition, some of these programs restrict our ability to
manufacture particular products outside of Israel or transfer particular
technology. If we fail to comply with these conditions in the future, the
benefits received could be canceled and we could be required to refund any
payments previously received under these programs or pay increased taxes. The
Government of Israel has reduced the benefits available under these programs in
recent years and these programs and tax benefits may be discontinued or
curtailed in the future. If we do not receive these grants in the future, we
will have to allocate other funds to product development at the expense of other
operational costs. The amount, if any, by which our taxes will be increased
depends upon the rate of any tax increase, the amount of any tax benefit
reduction and the amount of any taxable income that we may earn in the future.
If the Government of Israel ends these programs and tax benefits, our business,
financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely
affected.
Provisions of Israeli law may delay, prevent or make difficult a merger or
acquisition of us, which could prevent a change of control and depress the
market price of our shares.
The Israeli Companies Law generally requires that a merger be approved by
a company's board of directors and by a majority of the shares voting on the
proposed merger. Unless a court rules otherwise, the statutory merger will not
be deemed approved if a majority of the ordinary shares held by shareholders
other than the potential merger partner (or by any person who holds 25% or more
of the shares of capital stock or the right to appoint 25% or more of the
directors of the potential merger partner) vote against the merger. Upon the
request of any creditor of a party to the proposed merger, a court may delay or
prevent the merger if it concludes that there is a reasonable concern that, as a
result of the merger, the surviving company will be unable to satisfy its
obligations. In addition, a merger may not be completed unless at least 70 days
have passed since the filing of the merger proposal with the Israeli Registrar
of Companies by each of the merging companies.
Finally, Israeli tax law treats some acquisitions, such as
stock-for-stock exchanges between an Israeli company and a foreign company less
favorably than U.S. tax laws. For example, Israeli tax law may, under certain
circumstances, subject a shareholder who exchanges his ordinary shares for
shares in another corporation to taxation prior to the sale of the shares
received in such stock-for-stock swap.
These provisions of Israeli corporate and tax law and the uncertainties
surrounding such law may have the effect of delaying, preventing or making more
difficult a merger with us or acquisition of us. This could prevent a change of
control over us and depress the market price of our ordinary shares which
otherwise might rise as a result of such a change of control.
It may be difficult to (i) effect service of process, (ii) assert U.S.
securities laws claims and (iii) enforce U.S. judgments in Israel against
directors, officers and experts named in this prospectus.
We are incorporated in Israel. All of our executive officers and directors
named in this prospectus are nonresidents of the United States, and a
substantial portion of our assets and the assets of such persons are located
outside the United States. Therefore, it may be difficult to enforce a judgment
obtained in the United States against us or any of those persons or to effect
service of process upon those
14
persons. It may also be difficult to enforce civil liabilities under U.S.
federal securities laws in original actions instituted in Israel.

and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
These statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are

whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise and we
disclaim any obligation to publicly revise any such statements to reflect any
change in expectations or in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any

USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the ordinary shares by
the selling shareholders in this offering. If the warrants are exercised in
full, we would realize proceeds, before expenses in the amount of $2,169,384.
The net proceeds of the exercise of the warrants will be used for working
capital
16
and general corporate purposes, and in accordance with our budget, as it is
approved by our board of directors from time to time.
SELLING SHAREHOLDERS
The selling shareholders and any of their pledgees, assignees and
successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their ordinary
shares on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are
traded or in private transactions. The ordinary shares and the warrants to
purchase ordinary shares were issued to the selling shareholders pursuant to the
transaction described above under "The Offering."
On March 29, 2004, we completed a private placement transaction in which
we issued 3,851,540 of our ordinary shares at an aggregate purchase price of
$5.5 million ($5.3 million net of expenses), or $1.428 per ordinary share, as
well as warrants to purchase up to 962,887 of our ordinary shares at an exercise
price of $2.253 per ordinary share. The warrants are exercisable until March 28,
2006.
Pursuant to the terms of the share and warrant purchase agreement, we
agreed to prepare and file with the SEC, not later than May 13, 2004, a
registration statement on Form F-3, to enable the resale by the selling
shareholders from time to time of the shares issued to the selling shareholders
and the sale of the shares underlying the warrants issued to the selling
shareholders as described above. We also agreed to use best efforts to cause
such registration statement, among other things, to remain continuously
effective until the earlier of (i) the second anniversary of the effective date
of the registration statement, (ii) the date on which all of the shares issued
and shares underlying warrants issued to the selling shareholders as described
above have been sold hereunder or (iii) the date on which all of the shares
issued and shares underlying warrants issued to the selling shareholders as
described above can be sold by holders thereof pursuant to Rule 144(k)
promulgated under the Securities Act.
The selling shareholders agreed that they will not sell or otherwise
transfer the shares issued and the shares underlying warrants issued to the
selling shareholders as described above that would constitute a sale within the
meaning of the Securities Act, except pursuant to either (i) an effective
registration statement, or (ii) a transaction which, in the opinion of counsel
reasonably satisfactory to Radcom, qualifies as a transaction that is exempt
from registration under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder, and, if such sale is made in Israel, under the Israeli
Securities Law, 5728-1968 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
The following table presents information with respect to the beneficial
ownership of our ordinary shares by each selling shareholder and the number of
shares that may be offered for sale pursuant to this prospectus by each such
selling shareholder. This information was compiled from information provided to
us by or on behalf of the selling shareholders with respect to their holdings as
of April 28, 2004. The amounts set forth may have increased or decreased since
the date such information was provided. Our registration of these shares does
not necessarily mean that the selling shareholders will sell any or all of the
registered shares. Since the selling shareholders may sell all or part of their
shares and such offerings are not being underwritten on a firm commitment basis,
no estimate can be given as to the number of shares that will be held by any
selling shareholder upon termination of any offering made hereby.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The selling shareholders and any of their pledgees, assignees and
successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their ordinary
shares on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are
traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated
prices. The selling shareholders may use any one or more of the following
methods when selling shares:
o ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the
broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
o block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the
shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block
as principal to facilitate the transaction;
o purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the
broker-dealer for its account;
o an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the
applicable exchange;
o privately negotiated transactions;
o short sales;
o broker-dealers may agree with the selling shareholders to sell a
specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
o a combination of any such methods of sale; and
o any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
The selling shareholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the
Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by the selling shareholders may arrange for other
brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions
or discounts from the selling shareholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as
agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be
negotiated. The selling shareholders do not expect these commissions and
discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.
The selling shareholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security
interest in some or all of the ordinary shares owned by them and, if they
default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured
parties may offer and sell the ordinary shares from time to time under this
prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or
other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending the list of
selling shareholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in
interest as selling shareholders under this prospectus.
The selling shareholders also may transfer the ordinary shares in other
circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in
interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
The selling shareholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are
involved in selling the ordinary shares may be deemed to be "underwriters"
within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with
20
such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or
agents and any profit on the resale of the ordinary shares purchased by them may
be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.
The selling shareholders have informed us that they do not have any agreement or
understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the
ordinary shares.
The selling shareholders and we have agreed to indemnify each other and
our respective controlling persons against, and in certain circumstances to
provide contribution with respect to, specific liabilities in connection with
the offer and sale of the ordinary shares, including liabilities under the
Securities Act. We will pay the expenses incident to the registration of the
ordinary shares, except that the selling shareholders will pay all underwriting
discounts, commissions or fees attributable to the sale of the securities and
will pay the costs of their own counsel.
Each selling shareholder and any other persons participating in a
distribution of securities will be subject to applicable provisions of the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without
limitation, Regulation M, which may restrict certain activities of, and limit
the timing of purchases and sales of securities by, the selling shareholders and
other persons participating in a distribution of securities. Furthermore, under
Regulation M, persons engaged in a distribution of securities are prohibited
from simultaneously engaging in market making and certain other activities with
respect to such securities for a specified period of time prior to the
commencement of such distribution, subject to specified exceptions or
exemptions. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the securities
offered hereby.
VALIDITY OF SECURITIES
The validity of the ordinary shares, including the ordinary shares
issuable upon exercise of the warrants, will be passed upon for us by Goldfarb,
Levy, Eran & Co., our Israeli counsel.
EXPERTS
The consolidated financial statements of the Company as of December 31,
2003 and 2002, and for each of the years in the three-year period ended December
31, 2003, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year
ended December 31, 2003 have been incorporated by reference herein and in the
Registration Statement, in reliance upon the report of Somekh Chaikin, a member
of KPMG International and Blick Rothenberg Certified Public Accountants (UK),
independent accountants, incorporated by reference herein, and upon the
authority of said firms as experts in accounting and auditing.
ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
Service of process upon us and upon our directors and officers and the
Israeli experts named in this prospectus, a substantial number of whom reside
outside the United States, may be difficult to obtain within the United States.
Furthermore, because our principal assets and a substantial number of our
directors and officers are located outside the United States, any judgment
obtained in the United States against us or any of our directors and officers
may not be collectible within the United States.
We have been informed by our legal counsel in Israel, Goldfarb, Levy, Eran
& Co., that there is doubt concerning the enforceability of civil liabilities
under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act in original actions instituted in
Israel. However, subject to specified time limitations, Israeli courts may
enforce a United States final executory judgment in a civil matter, including a
monetary or compensatory
21
judgment in a non-civil matter, obtained after due process before a court of
competent jurisdiction according to the laws of the state in which the judgment
is given and the rules of private international law currently prevailing in
Israel. The rules of private international law currently prevailing in Israel do
not prohibit the enforcement of a judgment by Israeli courts provided that:
o the judgment is enforceable in the state in which it was given;
o adequate service of process has been effected and the defendant has
had a reasonable opportunity to present his arguments and evidence;
o the judgment and the enforcement of the judgment are not contrary to
the law, public policy, security or sovereignty of the state of
Israel;
o the judgment was not obtained by fraud and does not conflict with
any other valid judgment in the same matter between the same
parties; and
o an action between the same parties in the same matter is not pending
in any Israeli court at the time the lawsuit is instituted in the
foreign court.
We have irrevocably appointed RADCOM Equipment, Inc. as our agent to
receive service of process in any action against us in any competent court of
the United States arising out of this offering or any purchase or sale of
securities in connection with this offering.
If a foreign judgment is enforced by an Israeli court, it generally will
be payable in Israeli currency, which can then be converted into non-Israeli
currency and transferred out of Israel. The usual practice in an action before
an Israeli court to recover an amount in a non-Israeli currency is for the
Israeli court to issue a judgment for the equivalent amount in Israeli currency
at the rate of exchange in force on the date of the judgment, but the judgment
debtor may make payment in foreign currency. Pending collection, the amount of
the judgment of an Israeli court stated in Israeli currency ordinarily will be
linked to the Israeli consumer price index plus interest at an annual statutory
rate set by Israeli regulations prevailing at the time. Judgment creditors must
bear the risk of unfavorable exchange rates.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
Item 8. Indemnification Of Directors And Officers
Under the Companies Law, an Israeli company may not exempt an office
holder from liability with respect to a breach of his duty of loyalty, but may
exempt in advance an office holder from his liability to the company, in whole
or in part, with respect to a breach of his duty of care, provided that the
articles of association of the company permit it to do so. Our articles of
association allow us to exempt our office holders to the fullest extent
permitted by law.
Our articles of association further provide that, subject to the
provisions of the Companies Law, we may enter into a contract for the insurance
of the liability of any of our office holders with respect to an act performed
by such individual in his or her capacity as an office holder, for:
o a breach of an office holder's duty of care to us or to another
person;
o a breach of an office holder's duty of loyalty to us, provided that
the office holder acted in good faith and had reasonable cause to
assume that his or her act would not prejudice our interests; or
o a financial liability imposed upon an office holder in favor of
another person concerning an act performed by an office holder in
his or her capacity as an office holder.
Our articles of association also provide that we may indemnify an office
holder in respect of an obligation or expense imposed on the office holder in
respect of an act performed in his or her capacity as an office holder, as
follows:
o a monetary obligation imposed on an office holder in favor of
another person in accordance with a judgment, including a settlement
or an arbitration award approved by a court; and
o reasonable litigation expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred
by the office holder or which the office holder was ordered to pay
by a court, in a proceeding we instituted against him or her or
which was instituted on our behalf or by another person, or in a
criminal charge from which he or she was acquitted, or a criminal
charge in which he or she was convicted for a criminal offense that
does not require proof of criminal intent.
Our articles of association also include provisions:
----------------------------------------------------
o authorizing us to undertake in advance to indemnify an office
holder, provided that the undertaking is restricted to types of
events which our Board of Directors deems to be anticipated at the
time of the undertaking and limited to an amount determined by our
Board of Directors to be reasonable under the circumstances; and
o authorizing us to retroactively indemnify an office holder.
II-1
The Companies Law provides that a company may not enter into a contract
for the insurance of its office holders nor indemnify an office holder nor
exempt an officer from responsibility toward the company, for any of the
following:
o a breach by the office holder of his or her duty of loyalty, unless,
with respect to insurance coverage, the office holder acted in good
faith and had a reasonable basis to believe that such act would not
prejudice the company's interests;
o a breach by the office holder of his or her duty of care if the
breach was committed intentionally or recklessly;
o any act or omission committed with the intent to unlawfully derive a
personal profit; or
o any fine or penalty imposed on the office holder.
We indemnified and exculpated our office holders by providing them with
indemnification agreements and by approving the purchase of a directors and
officers liability insurance policy.

Company's Registration Statement on Form F-1, File Number 333-00120, and
incorporated herein by reference.
Item 10. Undertakings
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this registration
statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section
10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
arising after the effective date of the registration statement
(or the most recent post- effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in the registration
statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar
value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the
estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form
of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule
424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price
represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate
offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration
Fee" table in the effective registration statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect
to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a) (1)(i) and (a) (1)(ii) do not
apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective
amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed
with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
II-3
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to
the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain
unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) To file a post-effective amendment to the registration
statement to include any financial statements required by Item
8.A of Form 20-F at the start of any delayed offering or
throughout a continuous offering. Financial statements and
information otherwise required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act
need not be furnished, provided that the registrant includes
in the prospectus, by means of a post-effective amendment,
financial statements required pursuant to this paragraph (a)
(4) and other information necessary to ensure that all other
information in the prospectus is at least as current as the
date of those financial statements. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, with respect to registration statements on Form
F-3, a post-effective amendment need not be filed to include
financial statements and information required by Section
10(a)(3) of the Act or Rule 3-19 of this chapter if such
financial statements and information are contained in periodic
reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the
registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by
reference in the Form F-3.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes
of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933,
each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section
13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's
annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to the directors,
officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to
the provisions described under "Item 8. Indemnification of
Directors and Officers" above, or otherwise, the registrants has
been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the
registrant will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
II-4

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant

requirements for filing on Form F-3 and has duly caused this registration
statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly
authorized, in the City of Tel Aviv, in the State of Israel, on May 13, 2004.
