PRELIMINARY NOTES

        Terms

        As used herein, and unless the context suggest otherwise, the terms “IncrediMail,” Company,” “we,” “us” or “ours” refer to IncrediMail Ltd.

        Forward-Looking Statements

        This annual report on Form 20-F contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements relate to future events or our future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed, implied or inferred by these forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “projects,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology.

        Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we do not know whether we can achieve positive future results, levels of activity, performance, or goals. Actual events or results may differ materially. All forward-looking statements included in this report are based on information available to us on the date of this report. Except as require by applicable law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this annual report to conform those statements to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, new information or otherwise.

        You should read this annual report and the documents that we reference in this report completely and with the understanding that our actual future results, levels of activity, performance and achievements may be materially different from what we expect.

        Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statement contained in this annual report include:

  our ability to establish and increase market acceptance of our products;

  our ability to continually enhance our existing products and to develop new products that achieve widespread market acceptance;

  our ability to manage our growth;

  our ability to establish a strong brand name;

  our ability to develop additional ways to distribute and sell our products;

  our ability to generate substantial revenues from advertisers;

  our ability to hire and retain key personnel;

  the development and future nature of the Internet;

  restrictions imposed in connection with our international operations; and

  political, economic and military conditions in the Middle East.

        Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgment with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions, and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking information included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives or plans will be achieved. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from our expectations or projections include the risks and uncertainties relating to our business described in this annual report at “Item 3.D Risk Factors.” Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time and it is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all risks on our business or the extent to which any risk, or combination of risks, may cause actual results to differ from those contained in any forward-looking statements.



        We obtained statistical data, market data and other industry data and forecasts used throughout this annual report from market research, publicly available information and industry publications. Industry publications generally state that they obtain their information from sources that they believe to be reliable, but they do not guarantee the accuracy and completeness of the information. Similarly, while we believe that the statistical data, industry data and forecasts and market research are reliable, we have not independently verified the data, and we do not make any representation as to the accuracy of the information.

        Reflected Information

        The registration statement on Form F-1 relating to the initial public offering of our ordinary shares became effective on January 30, 2006, and the offering closed on February 3, 2006. Unless otherwise indicated, the information in this annual report:

  Reflects the increase in our authorized share capital to 15 million ordinary shares and a 38-for-one ordinary share split effected as a dividend on our ordinary shares outstanding effective immediately prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement referenced above; and

  Reflects the automatic conversion of all of our outstanding redeemable convertible preferred shares, on a 38-for-one basis, into 1,764,948 ordinary shares upon the closing of our initial public offering.

(1) All references to shares and per share amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect our 38-for-one ordinary share dividend on January 30, 2006, as if such event had occurred as of the beginning of the earliest period presented. See Note 12 to our financial statements.

(2) Our redeemable convertible preferred shares were entitled to participate on a non-cumulative basis in any dividends declared by our shareholders on the same per share basis as each ordinary share. Pro forma net earnings reflects the conversion of all outstanding shares of redeemable convertible preferred shares as of the dates indicated. Basic and diluted pro forma net earnings per ordinary share also give effect to the increase in the number of shares that, when multiplied by the offering price in our January 2006 initial public offering, would be sufficient to replace the capital in excess of earnings being withdrawn.

D. RISK FACTORS

Investing in our ordinary shares involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the following risk factors, as well as the other information in this annual report before deciding to invest in our ordinary shares. Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be affected adversely by any of these risks. The trading price of our ordinary shares could decline due to any of these risks and you might lose all or part of your investment in our ordinary shares.

Risks Related to Our Business

If we are unable to establish and increase market acceptance of our products, we will not grow our business and our revenues could decline.

        Our basic software product is currently supplied to our customers free of charge. We will be able to increase revenues only if we can create and maintain a substantial market demand for our enhanced software products and related services, for which we currently charge a one-time license fee.

        Many email users have multiple email clients, many of which are likely provided to them free of charge by large Internet and software companies. Therefore, our ability to execute our business strategy depends on market demand for email software programs that create a customized and entertaining email experience of the kind provided by our products. The rate of adoption and acceptance of our products may be affected adversely by changing consumer preferences, product obsolescence, technological change, market competition, development and acceptance of non-Internet mediums of communication and our products’ quality and novelty.

If we are unable to continually enhance our existing products and develop new products that achieve widespread market acceptance, our ability to attract and retain customers could be impaired, our competitive position may be harmed and we may be unable to generate additional revenues.

        We believe that the number of downloads of our free IncrediMail Xe indicates that many email users are interested in having a customized and entertaining email experience. Our future revenue and profit growth will depend, in part, on increasing the percentage of registered or active users of our free product who become actual purchasers of our products and services, as well as making our products and services attractive to new users. In order to induce those email users to purchase or license our products, we must continually enhance our existing products by offering additional features and content and we must continue to introduce novel products. The enhancement of existing products and the development and commercialization of new products can be very complex. Software product development and commercialization depends upon a number of factors, including:

  accurate prediction of market requirements, market preferences and content trends and evolving standards;

  development of advanced technologies and capabilities;

  timely completion and introduction of new product designs and features that incorporate market requirements and preferences;

  our ability to recruit and retain highly qualified personnel;

  our ability to market our new products; and

  market acceptance of the enhanced and new products.

        We may be unable to enhance our existing products or to develop new products. Furthermore, we may not develop or introduce new products or product enhancements in time to take advantage of market opportunities or achieve a significant or substantial level of acceptance in new or existing markets. If we fail to do so, our ability to attract and retain customers could be impaired, our competitive position may be harmed and we may be unable to generate substantial revenues.

3



We may have difficulty managing our growth, which could limit our ability to increase our sales and control our costs.

        We have been experiencing significant growth in the scope of our operations and the number of our employees. This growth has placed increased demands on our management and on our financial and operational resources. In order to achieve our business objectives, we will need to continue to grow. Continued growth would increase the challenges involved in:

  implementing appropriate operational and financial systems and controls;

  expanding our sales and marketing infrastructure and capabilities; and

  maintaining the morale of our employees.

        If we cannot scale and manage our business appropriately, we will not experience our projected growth and our financial results will suffer.

Due to our limited history of operations, we may not be able to predict our future performance or continue our revenue growth or profitability.

        We were incorporated in November 1999 and commercially launched our first product in the third quarter of 2000. Consequently, we have a limited history of operations from which to predict our future performance. The future viability of our business will depend on our ability to increase product sales, introduce new products, increase advertising revenues, exploit our brand name and control costs, which we may be unable to do. As a result, we may not be able to continue our revenue growth or profitability.

If we do not establish a strong brand name, we may be unable to market our products effectively.

        We have not yet established a strong brand name. We believe that establishing and strengthening the IncrediMail and Incredi brand among Internet and email users is one of the critical elements of executing our business strategy. Our ability to promote and position our brand depends largely on our ability to provide high quality, highly reliable products with the features desired by our consumers. If we fail to establish and maintain our brand, we may be unable to attract new consumers and compete effectively.

        In addition, we seek to exploit our brand name Incredi by applying it to products or services offered through collaboration with third parties. Failure of any of our collaborations that exploit our brand name for services not related to our core business could damage our brand name and reputation as it relates both to our software products and to our other existing collaborations. This kind of damage could curtail our efforts to strengthen our brand name and could adversely affect our results of operations.

If we do not develop additional ways to distribute and sell our products, our sales could decline.

        We currently sell our products primarily through our website. Our growth strategy includes entering into agreements with OEMs, to bundle our products and services with their hardware. We do not currently have any agreements with OEMs, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to enter into such agreements on favorable terms or at all. OEM customers can be very demanding with respect to the features they demand in software products they bundle, quality controls and testing requirements and payment terms. Because there are a relatively small number of significant OEM customers, if they demand reduced prices for our products, we may not be in a position to refuse such demands, which could adversely affect growth of our sales. If particular OEMs demand certain product or product features that we are unable to deliver, or if they impose higher quality requirements than we are able to satisfy, our revenues also could be adversely affected. Further, if our competitors offer our OEM customers more favorable terms than we do or if our competitors are able to take advantage of their existing relationships with these OEMs, then these OEMs may not include our software with their computers. These OEM relationships serve an important role in distributing our software to the end-user and positioning the market for upgrades to our more fully featured software products. If we are unable to develop and then maintain relationships with OEMs, our business could suffer.

        In addition, our growth in part depends upon creating and managing additional distribution channels, such as distributors that would sell our products to end-users and other resellers. These channels involve a number of special risks, including:

  resellers and distributors are generally not subject to minimum sales requirements or any obligation to market our products to their customers;

4



  reseller and distributor agreements are generally nonexclusive and may be terminated at any time without cause; and

  resellers and distributors may market and distribute competing products, in part due to pricing, terms and promotions offered by our competitors and other factors that we do not control and cannot predict.

        If we fail to develop additional distribution channels, our ability to increase our revenues and achieve our anticipated growth would be adversely affected. If we fail to manage our distribution channels, our distribution channels may conflict with one another or otherwise fail to perform as we anticipate, which could reduce our sales and increase our expenses as well as weaken our competitive position. In addition, some distributors may experience financial difficulties, and as a result, we may have reduced sales or increased bad debt expense, which would also adversely affect our operating results.

Our continuing “viral growth” could be adversely affected if we do not increase the number of our registered users or if users stop using our software.

        To date, we have relied mainly on “viral growth” to grow our user base. If users of our products stop their usage, our viral growth will be diminished because they will no longer be forwarding links to our site via their emails, and our revenues and market share may decrease. Our historical experience with usage of our products indicates that usage of IncrediMail Premium declines to approximately 8% after three years. Therefore, in order to induce our existing users to continue to send IncrediMail emails to potential new users, we must continually enhance our existing products and develop new ones. If we can not offer such products, because of lack of resources, competition or other reasons described elsewhere in these “Risk Factors”, our revenues and results of operations will be adversely affected.

If we are unable to generate substantial revenues from advertisers, we may not be able to increase our revenues or execute our business strategy.

        We currently display third party advertising on our website and in our free software. Our revenues from these advertisers have increased over the past two years but still represented less than 10% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2005. We intend to dedicate additional marketing resources to the development of this revenue stream. However, our ability to increase our advertising revenues may be limited by, among other reasons, a possible perception that the Internet is an ineffective marketing medium due to the excessive number of banner advertisements, the growing number of installations by Internet users of “filter” software programs that allow them to block “pop-up” advertisements or to prevent installation of software components that act as spying agents, and the limitations on the content of advertisements on the Internet compared to other forms of media. In addition, our advertising revenues depend, in part, on the number of our active users and visitors to our website. Because most users stop using the IncrediMail software after three years, if we do not continue to experience large numbers of new registered users, or if our website traffic decreases, our advertising revenues may not increase or could decline. In addition, we may not be able to increase our advertising revenue if advertising rates decrease in response to increased competition. Our inability to increase our revenues from advertisers could reduce our growth and affect our profitability.

The market for email software products and services is highly competitive, and if we cannot compete effectively, our revenues will decline and we will be unable to gain or retain market share.

        Our products compete in the market for email software products and services that aim to offer a customized and entertaining email experience for consumers, including features such as email notifiers, software skins, email backgrounds and multimedia content. Our main competitors among specialized providers of email services offer the following products: Arcsoft Multimedia Email™ 3, Comet Cursor Plus, LetterMark™ email, FunWeb Products™, Hotbar®, Metamail 4.0 and WikMail 2005, all of which incorporate special features that provide a personalized email experience. In addition, our products also face competition from general email software programs offered to the private market by large Internet and software companies, such as AOL9 and NetscapeMail by America Online, Inc., Eudora® by QUALCOMM Incorporated (Nasdaq: QCOM), FireFox Mail® by Mozilla Foundation and Outlook Express and MSN9 by Microsoft Corporation (Nasdaq: MSFT), some of which may also incorporate certain special features that provide a personalized email experience. Many of the large Internet and software companies offer their email software programs free of charge. Competition with these products could result in reduced prices and margins, fewer purchases of our products and services and loss of market share.

        Many of our competitors have more established brands, products and customer relationships than we do, which could inhibit our market penetration efforts even if they may not offer a customized and entertaining email experience similar to IncrediMail. For example, consumers may choose to receive an extensive package of Internet and email services from a more dominant and recognized company, such as Microsoft Corporation (Outlook Express or MSN®) or America Online, Inc. (AOL®). If we are unable to achieve continued market penetration, we will be unable to compete effectively.

5



        In addition, many of our other current and potential competitors have significantly greater financial, research and development, manufacturing, and sales and marketing resources than we have. These competitors could use their greater financial resources to acquire other companies to gain enhanced name recognition and market share, as well as to develop new technologies, products or features that could effectively compete with our existing product lines. Demand for our products could be diminished by equivalent or superior products and technologies offered by competitors. See “Item 4.B Business Overview – Competition” for additional discussion of our competitive market.

We may use a substantial portion of the proceeds of our recently completed initial public offering to acquire an unspecified business. These acquisitions could divert our resources, cause dilution to our shareholders and adversely affect our financial results.

        We may use a portion of the proceeds of our recently completed initial public offering to acquire complementary products, technologies or businesses. We have not made any acquisitions to date and our management has not had any experience making acquisitions or integrating acquired businesses. Negotiating potential acquisitions or integrating newly-acquired products, technologies or businesses could divert our management’s attention from other business concerns and could be expensive and time-consuming. Acquisitions could expose our business to unforeseen liabilities or risks associated with the business or assets acquired or with entering new markets. In addition, we might lose key employees while integrating new organizations. Consequently, we might not effectively integrate any acquired products, technologies or businesses, and might not achieve anticipated revenues or cost benefits. In addition, future acquisitions could result in customer dissatisfaction, performance problems with an acquired product, technology or company, or issuances of equity securities that cause dilution to our existing shareholders. Furthermore, we may incur contingent liability or possible impairment charges related to goodwill or other intangible assets or other unanticipated events or circumstances, and we may not have, or may not be able to enforce, adequate remedies in order to protect our company. If any of these or similar risks relating to acquiring products, technologies or businesses should occur, our business could be materially harmed.

If we are deemed to be not in compliance with applicable data protection laws, our operating results could be materially affected.

        We collect and maintain certain information about our customers in our database. Such collection and maintenance of customer information is subject to data protection laws and regulations in Israel, the United States and other countries. A failure to comply with applicable regulations could result in class actions, governmental investigations and orders, and criminal and civil liabilities, which could materially affect our operating results.

        Although we strive to comply with all applicable regulations and use our best efforts to inform our customers of our business practices prior to any installations of our software, it is possible that these laws may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent with our data practices. If so, in addition to the possibility of fines, this could result in an order requiring that we change our data practices, which in turn could have a material effect on our business. See “Item 4.B Business Overview – Government Regulation” for additional discussion of applicable regulations.

If there are privacy or security concerns regarding our collection, use and handling of personal information, we could incur substantial expenses.

        Although we take all reasonable steps to insure the security of personal information, concerns may be expressed, from time to time, about whether our products compromise the privacy or confidentiality of the information of users and others. Concerns about our collection, use, sharing or handling of personal information or other privacy related matters, even if unfounded, could damage our reputation and operating results. See “Item 4.B Business Overview – Government Regulation” for additional discussion of applicable regulations.

We rely on online payment for our products and any limitations imposed on online payment services could increase our costs associated with the collection of payment and could adversely affect our business.

        Payment for our products is processed online. We engage third parties to process online payment for our products. Credit card companies could change their policies with respect to acceptance of online payments, refunds and chargebacks or in response to any change in government regulations. Any of these changes could result in increased costs for providing online payment services. Furthermore, implementation of an alternative method for collection of payment would entail substantial expenses and may not be feasible for our business.

6



We depend on a third party Internet and telecommunication provider to operate our website and securing alternate sources for these services could significantly increase our expenses.

        We depend on Bezeq International Ltd., a third party provider of Internet and related telecommunication services, including hosting and location facilities, to operate our website. This company may not continue to provide services to us without disruptions in services, at the current cost or at all. While we believe that there are many alternative providers of hosting and other communication services available to us, the costs associated with any transition to a new service provider could be substantial and require us to reengineer our computer systems and telecommunications infrastructure to accommodate a new service provider. This process could be both expensive and time consuming and could result in lost business both during the transition period and after.

        Our servers and communications systems could be damaged or interrupted by fire, flood, power loss, telecommunications failure, earthquakes, acts of war or terrorism, acts of God, computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins and similar events or disruptions. Although we maintain back-up systems for our servers, any of these events could cause system interruption, delays, loss of critical data and lost registered users and revenues.

        We currently rely solely on the Internet as a means to sell our products. Accordingly, if we, or our customers, are unable to utilize the Internet due to a failure of technology or infrastructure, terrorist activity or other reasons, we could lose current or potential customers and revenues. While we have backup systems for most aspects of our operations, our systems are not fully redundant and our disaster recovery planning may not be sufficient for all eventualities. In addition, we may have inadequate insurance coverage or insurance limits to compensate us for losses from a major interruption. Furthermore, interruptions in our website could materially impede our ability to attract new companies to advertise on our website and to maintain relationships with current advertisers. Difficulties of this kind could damage our reputation, be expensive to remedy and curtail our growth.

Termination of our licensing or promotion agreements or our agreement with Commtouch could result in lost revenues and loss of market share.

        Our licensing and promotion agreements, including our agreements with Oberon Media Inc. and PointMatch USA Inc., are providing an increasing amount of revenue, growing from $0.6 million in 2004 to $0.8 million in 2005. The termination of those agreements would result in lost revenues and the loss of market share until we were able, if at all, to enter into new and similar arrangements. Further, the agreement with PointMatch USA prohibits us from integrating or promoting a similar matchmaking site or otherwise competing with it for 12 months after the termination, which would make it more difficult to enter into similar arrangements. In addition, we launched our anti-spam solution JunkFilter Plus in the third quarter of 2005. If our agreement to use the anti-spam software development kit developed by Commtouch Ltd. were to terminate, we would be required to redevelop our JunkFilter Plus anti-spam product, or retain a new provider of a development kit, and, as a result, we would likely suffer lost revenues and the potential loss of market share.

Our products operate in a variety of computer configurations and could contain undetected errors or defects that could result in product failures, lost revenues and loss of market share.

        Our software may contain undetected errors, failures or defects, especially when the products are first introduced or when new versions are released. Our customers’ computer environments are often characterized by a wide variety of standard and non-standard configurations that make pre-release testing for programming or compatibility errors very difficult and time-consuming. Therefore, there could be errors or failures in our products. In addition, despite testing by us and beta testing by some of our registered users, errors, failures or bugs may not be found in new products or releases until after commencement of commercial sales. In the past, we have discovered software errors, failures and defects in certain of our product offerings after their introduction and have likely experienced delayed or lost revenues during the period required to correct these errors.

        Errors, failures or defects in products released by us could result in negative publicity, product returns, loss of or delay in market acceptance of our products, loss of competitive position or claims by customers. Alleviating any of these problems could require significant expense and could cause interruptions.

Exchange rate fluctuations may decrease our earnings if we are not able to hedge our currency exchange risks effectively.

        A majority of our revenues are denominated in U.S. dollars. However, most of our costs, mainly personnel expenses, are incurred in New Israeli Shekels, or NIS. Inflation in Israel may have the effect of increasing the U.S. dollar cost of our operations in Israel. If the U.S. dollar declines in value in relation to the New Israeli Shekel, it will become more expensive for us to fund our operations in Israel. A revaluation of one percent of the NIS as compared to the U.S. dollar will cause an effect of less than 1% on our income before taxes. During 2003 and 2004, the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar to the New Israeli Shekel declined significantly although that trend reversed in 2005.

        We receive only U.S. dollars from sales; however, our online payment service providers process sales in various currencies. Some of the proceeds from our sales are processed by an online payment service that holds 25% of these proceeds for a period of up to six months. With respect to cash proceeds that are held by this online payment service in currencies other than U.S. dollar, we bear a foreign currency fluctuation risk until such proceeds are actually paid to us. As of December 31, 2005, proceeds in foreign currencies held by this online payment service amounted to approximately $0.6 million and resulted in expenses of approximately $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. In addition, in territories where our prices are based on local currencies, fluctuations in the dollar exchange rate could affect our gross profit margin. To date, we have not found it necessary to hedge the risks associated with fluctuations in currency exchange rates. In the future, if we do not engage in effective hedging transactions, we may incur losses from unfavorable fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. See “Item 11 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure of Market Risks” for further discussion of the effects of exchange rate fluctuations on earnings.

A loss of the services of our senior management and other key personnel could adversely affect execution of our business strategy.

        We depend on the continued services of our senior management, particularly Yaron Adler, our Chief Executive Officer, Ofer Adler, our Chief Product Officer, and Gil Pry-Dvash, our Chief Technology Officer. Our business and operations to date have been mainly implemented under the direction of our current senior management. The loss of their services could create a gap in management and could result in the loss of management and technical expertise necessary for us to execute our business strategy and thereby, adversely affect execution of our business strategy. Although we have recently obtained “key person” life insurance on the life of Yaron Adler in the amount of $1.5 million, and we expect to obtain similar life insurance on the life of Ofer Adler. We do not expect to obtain “key person” life insurance with respect to our other officers.

        Further, our ability to execute our business strategy also depends on our ability to continue to attract, retain and motivate qualified and skilled technical and creative personnel and skilled management, marketing and sales personnel. If we cannot attract and retain additional key employees or lose one or more of our current key employees, our ability to develop or market our products could be adversely affected. See “Item 6 Directors, Senior Management and Employees.”

Under current U.S. and Israeli law, we may not be able to enforce covenants not to compete and, therefore, may be unable to prevent our competitors from benefiting from the expertise of some of our former employees.

        We have entered into non-competition agreements with all of our professional employees. These agreements prohibit our employees, if they cease working for us, from competing directly with us or working for our competitors for a limited period. Under current U.S. and Israeli law, we may be unable to enforce these agreements, in whole or in part, and it may be difficult for us to restrict our competitors from gaining the expertise that our former employees gained while working for us. For example, Israeli courts have recently required employers seeking to enforce non-compete undertakings of a former employee to demonstrate that the competitive activities of the former employee will harm one of a limited number of material interests of the employer which have been recognized by the courts, such as the secrecy of a company’s confidential commercial information or its intellectual property. If we cannot demonstrate that harm would be caused to us, we may be unable to prevent our competitors from benefiting from the expertise of our former employees.

Our international operations involve special risks that could increase our expenses, adversely affect our operating results and require increased time and attention of our management.

        We derive and expect to continue to derive a substantial portion of our revenues from customers outside Israel and the United States. Our international sales and related operations are subject to a number of inherent risks, including risks with respect to:

  potential loss of proprietary information due to piracy, misappropriation or laws that may be less protective of our intellectual property rights than those of Israel or the United States;

8



  costs and delays associated with translating and supporting our products in multiple languages;

  foreign exchange rate fluctuations and economic instability, such as higher interest rates and inflation, which could make our products more expensive in those countries;

  costs of compliance with a variety of laws and regulations;

  restrictive governmental actions such as trade restrictions;

  limitations on the transfer and repatriation of funds and foreign currency exchange restrictions;

  compliance with different consumer and data protection laws and restrictions on pricing or discounts;

  lower levels of adoption or use of the Internet and other technologies vital to our business and the lack of appropriate infrastructure to support widespread Internet usage;

  lower levels of consumer spending on a per capita basis and fewer opportunities for growth in certain foreign market segments compared to the United States;

  lower levels of credit card usage and increased payment risk;

  changes in domestic and international tax regulations; and

  geopolitical events, including war and terrorism.

Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property

If we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights, our competitive position could be harmed.

        Our ability to execute our business strategy and compete depends in part upon our ability to protect our intellectual property. In 2000, we submitted patent applications in the United States, the European Community and Israel with respect to certain processes that we employ in our products. One patent has been issued in the United States under these applications to date. Our pending and future patent applications may not issue as patents or, if issued, may not issue in a form that will be advantageous to us. Any issued patents may be challenged, invalidated or legally circumvented by third parties. We cannot be certain that our patents will be upheld as valid and enforceable or prevent the development of competitive products. Consequently, competitors could develop, manufacture and sell products that directly compete with our products, which could decrease our sales and diminish our ability to compete. If our intellectual property does not adequately protect us from our competitors’ products and methods, our competitive position could be adversely affected and we could be precluded from operating all or a portion of our business.

        In addition, we exploit our brand name Incredi by applying it to products offered through collaborations with third parties. We have registered INCREDIMAIL as a trademark only in the United States. Our ownership and use of the Incredi brand name may be challenged, invalidated or legally circumvented by third parties, in which case our ability to generate revenues from its exploitation will suffer.

        We have registered, or have rights to, various domain names relating to our brand, including incredimail.com, incredidate.com and incredigames.com. If we fail to maintain, or to enforce our rights to, these registrations, it will be difficult for us to implement our strategy to increase recognition of our brand. Third parties have registered domain names similar to ours and if such parties engage in a business that may be harmful to our reputation or confusing to our customers, our revenue may decline and we may incur additional expenses in maintaining our brand.

        We rely on a combination of patent and other intellectual property laws and confidentiality, non-disclosure and assignment of inventions covenants as appropriate, with our employees and consultants, to protect and otherwise seek to control access to, and distribution of, our proprietary information. These measures may not be adequate to protect our property from unauthorized disclosure, third-party infringement or misappropriation. We also rely on trade secret protection for our technology, in part through confidentiality covenants with our employees, consultants and third parties. However, these parties may breach these covenants and we may not have adequate remedies for any breach. Also, others may learn of our trade secrets through a variety of methods. In addition, the laws of certain countries in which we sell our products may not protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States or Israel. See “Item 4.B Business Overview –Intellectual Property.”

Third party claims of infringement or other claims against us could require us to redesign our products, seek licenses, or engage in future costly intellectual property litigation, which could adversely affect our financial position and our ability to execute our business strategy.

        The appeal of our products is largely the result of the graphics, sound and multimedia content that we incorporate in our products. We enter into licensing arrangements with third parties for these uses. However, other third parties may from time to time claim that our current or future use of content, sound and graphics infringe their intellectual property rights, and seek to prevent, limit or interfere with our ability to make, use or sell our products. For example, in 2002 and again in 2004, a third party had contacted us to demand that we remove certain “Smiley” graphics from our website, claiming that he had registered a trademark with respect to these graphics and that our use infringed his rights. We believe this claim to be without any merit and intend to vigorously defend any suit filed against us in this matter.

        If it appears necessary or desirable, we may seek to obtain licenses for intellectual property rights that we are allegedly infringing, may infringe or desire to use. Although holders of these types of intellectual property rights often offer these licenses, we cannot assure you that licenses will be offered or that the terms of any offered licenses will be acceptable to us. Our failure to obtain a license for key intellectual property rights from a third party for technology or content, sound or graphic used by us could cause us to incur substantial liabilities and to suspend the development and sale of our products. Alternatively, we could be required to expend significant resources to re-design our products or develop non-infringing technology. If we are unable to re-design our products or develop non-infringing technology, our revenues could decrease and we may not be able to execute our business strategy.

        We may become involved in litigation not only as a result of alleged infringement of a third-party’s intellectual property rights, but also to protect our own intellectual property rights. If we do not prevail in any third-party action for infringement, we may be required to pay substantial damages and be prohibited from using intellectual property essential to our products.

        We may also become involved in litigation in connection with the brand name rights associated with our company name or the names of our products. We do not know whether others will assert that our company name or brand name infringes their trademark rights. In addition, names we choose for our products may be claimed to infringe names held by others. If we have to change the name of our company or products, we may experience a loss in goodwill associated with our brand name, customer confusion and a loss of sales. Any lawsuit, regardless of its merit, would likely be time-consuming, expensive to resolve and require additional management time and attention.

Unlawful copying of our products or other third party violations of existing legal protections or reductions in the legal protection for intellectual property rights of software developers or use of open source software could adversely affect our revenue.

        The software products that we sell incorporate a technology that reduces the ability of third parties to copy the software without having paid for it. Unlicensed copying and use of software and intellectual property rights represents a loss of potential revenue to us, which could be more significant in countries where laws are less protective of intellectual property rights. Continued educational and enforcement efforts may not affect revenue positively and further deterioration in compliance with existing legal protections or reductions in the legal protection for intellectual property rights of software developers could adversely affect our revenue.

        In addition, certain of our products or services may now or in the future incorporate open source software, which are typically distributed “as-is” without warranties, such as warranties of performance or ownership or indemnities against intellectual property infringement claims. Moreover, to the extent that we incorporate open source software into our products or services, although we do not currently intend ever to incorporate open source software that would require us to do so, the license for such open source software may obligate us, among other things, to pass on to our licensees without charge the rights to use, copy, modify and redistribute the underlying software source code, both with respect to the original open source code and any modifications to such code created by us.

Risks Related to Our Industry

The Internet as a medium for commerce and communication is not yet fully established and is subject to uncertainty and a decline in the number of Internet users could cause our revenues to decrease and our products to become obsolete.

        The Internet as a medium for communication is not yet fully established and is subject to uncertainty. In addition, the electronic communication industry is rapidly evolving, as new means for electronic communication are offered to the public. Our ability to execute our business strategy is dependent upon the continued predominance of email as a means of electronic communication and upon the continued use of the Internet.

10



        Although email software programs and services currently enjoy a large market, the development and consumer acceptance of other means of electronic communication, such as text messaging over phone networks, could result in a substantial decrease in the size of this market, in which case our revenues could decrease and our products could become obsolete.

        In addition, our products may only be used on personal computers that can be and are connected to the Internet. While the number of Internet users has been rising, the Internet infrastructure may not expand fast enough to meet the increased levels of demand. In addition, activity that diminishes the experience for Internet users, such as spyware, spoof emails, viruses and spam directed at Internet users, as well as viruses and “denial of service” attacks directed at Internet companies and service providers, may discourage people from using the Internet, including for communications and commerce. Furthermore, newer users of the Internet could be less active email users compared to our earlier users. If use of the Internet as a medium for communication and commerce grows at a slower rate than we anticipate, our sales would be less than expected. In addition, the development and acceptance of new technologies and platforms could divert our targeted customers from the use of the Internet, in which case our results of operations will be adversely affected.

New laws and regulations applicable to e-commerce, Internet advertising, privacy and data collection, and uncertainties regarding the application or interpretation of existing laws and regulations, could harm our business.

        Our business is conducted through the Internet and therefore, among other things, we are also subject to the laws and regulations that apply to e-commerce. These laws and regulations are becoming more prevalent in the United States and elsewhere and may impede the growth of the Internet or other online services. These regulations and laws may cover taxation, user privacy, data protection, pricing, content, copyrights, electronic contracts and other communications, Internet advertising, consumer protection, the provision of online payment services, broadband residential Internet access, and the characteristics and quality of products and services.

        Many areas of the law affecting the Internet remain largely unsettled, even in areas where there has been some legislative action. It is difficult to determine whether and how existing laws, such as those governing intellectual property, privacy and data protection, libel, data security and taxation, apply to the Internet and our business. New laws and regulations may seek to impose additional burdens on companies conducting business over the Internet. We are unable to predict the nature of the limitations that may be imposed.

        For example, legislation has been enacted to regulate the use of “cookie” technology. Upon installation of our software, certain cookies generated by us and our advertisers are placed on our customers’ computers. It has been argued that Internet protocol addresses and cookies are intrinsically personally identifiable information that is subject to privacy standards. We cannot assure you that our current policies and procedures would meet these restrictive standards.

        In addition, technology is changing constantly and data security regulations and standards are in a state of flux. Changes in law or regulations may require that we materially change the way we do business. For example, we may be required to implement physical, administrative and technological security measures different from those we have now, such as different data access controls or encryption technology. We may incur substantial expenses in implementing such security measures.

        In addition, although current decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court restrict the imposition of obligations to collect state and local sales and use taxes with respect to sales made over the Internet, the U.S. Congress and a number of states have been considering various initiatives that could limit or supersede these decisions. If any of these initiatives result in a reversal of the Court’s current position, we could be required to collect sales and use taxes on our U.S. sales. The imposition by state and local governments of various taxes upon Internet commerce could create administrative burdens for us and could decrease our future sales.

        The cost of compliance with taxation, consumer and privacy related regulations could be material and we may not be able to comply with the applicable regulations in a timely or cost-effective manner. In response to evolving legal requirements, we may be compelled to change our business model and practices, which could reduce our sales, and we may not be able to replace the revenues lost as a consequence of the change. These changes could also require us to incur significant expenses, subject us to liability and require increased time and attention of our management. See “Item 4.B Business Overview – Government Regulation” for additional discussion of applicable regulations affecting our company.

Risks Related to Our Operations in Israel

Political, economic and military instability in the Middle East may impede our ability to operate and harm our financial results.

        Our principal executive offices are located in Israel. Accordingly, political, economic and military conditions in the Middle East may affect directly our business. Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, a number of armed conflicts have occurred between Israel and its Arab neighbors. Any hostilities involving Israel or the interruption or curtailment of trade between Israel and its present trading partners could affect adversely our operations. Since October 2000, terrorist violence in Israel has increased significantly. Ongoing and revived hostilities and the attempts to resolve the conflict between Israel and its Arab neighbors often results in political instability that affects the Israeli capital markets and can cause volatility in interest rates, exchange rates and stock market quotes. These or other Israeli political or economic factors could harm our operations and product development and cause our sales to decrease. In addition, we can not predict the effect on Israel or the Middle East generally of the recent elections in the Palestinian Authority and for the Knesset, the Israeli parliament. Furthermore, several countries, principally those in the Middle East, still restrict business with Israel and Israeli companies although the impact of these restrictions is not as important for a company such as ours that sells its products through the Internet.

Our operations may be disrupted by the obligations of our personnel to perform military service.

        Many of our male employees in Israel, including members of senior management, are obligated to perform up to 36 days of military reserve duty annually until they reach age 48 and, in the event of a military conflict, could be called to active duty. Our operations could be disrupted by the absence of a significant number of our employees related to military service or the absence for extended periods of military service of one or more of our key employees.

Investors and our shareholders generally may have difficulties enforcing a U.S. judgment against us, our executive officers and our directors or asserting U.S. securities laws claims in Israel.

        We are incorporated in Israel and all of our executive officers and most of our directors reside outside the United States. Service of process upon them may be difficult to effect within the United States. Furthermore, all of our assets and most of the assets of our executive officers and directors are located outside the United States. Therefore, a judgment obtained against us or any of them in the United States, including one based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws, may not be collectible in the United States and may not be enforced by an Israeli court. It also may be difficult for you to assert U.S. securities law claims in original actions instituted in Israel.

The tax benefits available to us require us to meet several conditions and may be terminated or reduced in the future, which would increase our costs and taxes.

        We have generated income and therefore, are able to take advantage of tax exemptions and reductions resulting from the “Approved Enterprise” status of our facilities in Israel. To remain eligible for these tax benefits, we must continue to meet certain conditions stipulated in the Investment Law and its regulations and the criteria set forth in the specific certificate of approval. If we fail to meet the required conditions in the future, the tax benefits would be canceled and we could be required to refund any tax benefits we have received with interest and adjustment for change in Israeli consumer price index. These tax benefits may not be continued in the future at their current levels or at any level.

        Effective April 1, 2005, the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments was amended. As a result, the criteria for investments qualified to receive tax benefits as an Approved Enterprise were revised. No assurance can be given that we will, in the future, be eligible to receive additional tax benefits under this law. The termination or reduction of these tax benefits would increase our tax liability in the future, which would reduce our profits or increase our losses. Additionally, if we increase our activities outside of Israel, for example, by future acquisitions, our increased activities might not be eligible for inclusion in Israeli tax benefit programs. As a result of the amendment and recent interpretations, tax-exempt income generated under the provisions of the new law will subject us to taxes upon distribution or liquidation and we may be required to record deferred tax liability with respect to such tax-exempt income, possibly affecting our results in the future. See “Item 10.E Taxation – Israeli Taxation – Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959” for more information about these programs.

Risks Related to our Ordinary Shares

Our ordinary shares are traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market, which provides limited liquidity, and we expect that the price of our ordinary shares will fluctuate substantially.

        Our ordinary shares are included for quotation in the Nasdaq Capital Market, which provides limited liquidity compared to the Nasdaq National Market or the national exchanges. The lack of a trading market may result in the loss of research coverage by any securities analyst that may cover our company in the future. Moreover, we cannot assure you that any securities analyst will maintain research coverage of our company and our ordinary shares. In addition, the market price of our ordinary shares may fluctuate substantially and will be affected by a number of factors, including:

  any increase or decrease in the sales of our products;

  the recruitment or departure of key personnel;

  the announcement of new products or service enhancements by us or our competitors;

  quarterly variations in our or our competitors' results of operations;

  seasonal trends in purchases of our products;

  announcements related to litigation;

  changes in earnings’ estimates, investors’ perceptions or recommendations by securities analysts or our failure to achieve analysts’ earning estimates;

  fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates affecting our results of operations;

  developments in our industry; and

  general market conditions and political and other factors unrelated to our operating performance or the operating performance of our competitors.

        Moreover, the stock prices of many companies in the software and Internet industries have experienced wide fluctuations that often have been unrelated to the operating performance of those companies. These factors and price fluctuations may materially and adversely affect the market price of our ordinary shares.

If we cannot continue to satisfy the Nasdaq Capital Market’s listing maintenance requirements and other Nasdaq rules, our ordinary shares could be delisted, which could negatively affect the price of our ordinary shares and your ability to sell them.

        In order to maintain listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we are required to comply with Nasdaq rules applicable to foreign private issuers, which include rules regarding minimum shareholders’ equity, minimum share price, and certain corporate governance requirements. We may not be able to continue to satisfy the listing maintenance requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market and other applicable Nasdaq rules. If we are unable to satisfy the Nasdaq criteria for maintaining listing, our ordinary shares could be subject to delisting. If our shares are delisted, trading, if any, of our ordinary shares would thereafter be conducted in the over-the-counter market, in the so-called “pink sheets” or on the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.‘s “electronic bulletin board.” As a consequence of any such delisting, our share price could be negatively affected and our shareholders would likely find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the prices of, our ordinary shares.

We incur significant costs as a result of being a public company.

        As a public company, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses. We incur costs associated with our public company reporting requirements as well as costs associated with corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the rules of the Nasdaq Market and the provisions of the Israeli Companies Law that apply to public companies. For example, as a public company, we have created additional board committees and are required to have two external directors pursuant to the Israeli Companies Law. We also hired a full-time chief financial officer in November 2005 and intend to increase our accounting and financial staff. In addition, we expect to incur significant costs in connection with disclosure controls and procedures and the assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting, as required under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Furthermore, due to the enhanced liability imposed on directors and officers of a public company, our director and officer liability insurance is more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain. See “Item 5 Operating and Financial Review and Prospects – Overview – General and Administrative Expenses” for a discussion of our increased expenses as a result of being a public company.

13



If we do not establish a fully-staffed accounting and financial department, our business and our share price could be adversely affected.

        In order to support our intended growth, as well as to help ensure compliance with our obligations as a public company, we will need to increase our accounting staff and retain an internal auditor, as required of public companies under the Israeli Companies Law. If we can not retain such personnel, our ability to meet our reporting obligations could suffer and we may not be able to manage our intended growth effectively, which could also cause the price of our ordinary shares to decline. Further, beginning with our annual report for the year ending December 31, 2007, we and our auditor will be required to report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The existence of one or more material weaknesses, whether because of inadequate staffing or otherwise, would require us and our auditor to conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is not effective. If there are identified deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting, we could be subject to investigations and sanctions by regulatory authorities. As a result, the price of our ordinary shares could decline and we may be required to incur additional costs in improving our accounting and financial staffing as well as our internal control system. The potential damage to our reputation from a public announcement of an internal control weakness could also adversely affect the price of our ordinary shares.

A small number of existing shareholders hold a significant percentage of our outstanding ordinary shares and can exercise significant influence over our actions.

        As of March 28, 2006, our directors and officers beneficially owned (including shares issuable upon exercise of options exercisable within 60 days of March 28, 2006) approximately 35.77% of our outstanding ordinary shares in the aggregate. The interests of these shareholders may differ from your interests. These shareholders, acting together, could exercise significant influence over our operations and business strategy and will have sufficient voting power to influence all matters requiring approval by our shareholders, including the ability to elect or remove directors, to approve or reject mergers or other business combination transactions, the raising of future capital and the amendment of our articles of association, which govern the rights attached to our ordinary shares. In addition, this concentration of ownership may delay, prevent or deter a change in control, or deprive you of a possible premium for your ordinary shares as part of a sale of our company.

The rights and responsibilities of our shareholders are governed by Israeli law and differ in some respects from the rights and responsibilities of shareholders under U.S. law.

        We are incorporated under Israeli law. The rights and responsibilities of holders of our ordinary shares are governed by our memorandum of association, our articles of association and by Israeli law. These rights and responsibilities differ in some respects from the rights and responsibilities of shareholders in typical U.S. corporations. In particular, a shareholder of an Israeli company has a duty to act in good faith toward the company and other shareholders and to refrain from abusing his power in the company, including, among other things, in voting at the general meeting of shareholders on certain matters. See “Item 10.B Memorandum and Articles of Association – Approval of Related Party Transactions” for additional information concerning this duty. Our shareholders generally may find it difficult to comply with the provisions of Israeli law.

        Moreover, unlike U.S. domestic corporations, foreign private issuers such as IncrediMail are not required to comply with the Nasdaq Market rules regarding independent director review of related party transactions and shareholder approval of certain corporate actions (including issuances of in excess of 20% of our outstanding securities). We are obligated to comply with Israeli laws with respect to these matters, as more fully described under “Item 10.B Memorandum and Articles of Association – Approval of Related Party Transactions” and “– Voting, Shareholder Meetings and Resolutions.”

Provisions of our articles of association and Israeli law may delay, prevent or make difficult an acquisition of our company, which could prevent a change of control and, therefore, depress the price of our shares.

        Israeli corporate law regulates mergers, requires tender offers for acquisitions of shares above specified thresholds, requires special approvals for transactions involving directors, officers or significant shareholders and regulates other matters that may be relevant to these types of transactions. In addition, our articles of association contain provisions that may make it more difficult to acquire our company, such as provisions establishing a classified board. Furthermore, Israeli tax considerations may make potential transactions unappealing to us or to some of our shareholders. See “Item 10.B Memorandum and Articles of Association – Approval of Related Party Transactions” and “Item 10.E – Taxation – Israeli Taxation” for additional discussion about some anti-takeover effects of Israeli law.

14



        These provisions of Israeli law may delay, prevent or make difficult an acquisition of our company, which could prevent a change of control and therefore depress the price of our shares.

Future sales of our ordinary shares could reduce our stock price.

        We have granted to a number of our shareholders, who together owned approximately 18.8% of our shares at the closing of our initial public offering, registration rights with respect to their ordinary shares. In addition, we have granted the underwriters of our initial public offering a purchase option to purchase 175,000 of our ordinary shares and certain demand and “piggy back“ registration rights with respect to such underlying shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Sales by shareholders of substantial amounts of our ordinary shares, or the perception that these sales may occur in the future, could materially and adversely affect the market price of our ordinary shares. In addition, although our executive officers, directors and certain large shareholders have agreed not to sell their shares for a period of up to 12 months after the date of our initial public offering, a substantial number of shares held by our current shareholders or issuable upon exercise of options are currently eligible, or will be eligible in the near future, for sale in the public market. Furthermore, as the restrictions on resale that are applicable to our executive officers, directors and certain large shareholders end, the market price of our ordinary shares could drop significantly if the holders of these restricted shares sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them.

Although we have paid dividends in the past we do not expect to pay dividends in the future and any return on investment may be limited to the value of our stock.

        Although we have paid dividends in the past, we do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our ordinary shares in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our ordinary shares will depend on our earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting us at the time as our board of directors may consider relevant. We may pay dividends in any fiscal year only out of “profits,” as defined by the Israeli Companies Law, and provided that the distribution is not reasonably expected to impair our ability to fulfill our outstanding and expected obligations. If we do not pay dividends, our stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if our stock price appreciates. We intend to reinvest the amount of tax exempt income derived from our “Approved Enterprise” status and not to distribute that income as dividends. See “Item 8.A Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information – Policy on Dividend Distribution” for additional information regarding the payment of dividends.

U.S. investors in our company could suffer adverse tax consequences if we are characterized as a passive foreign investment company.

        If, for any taxable year, our passive income or our assets that produce passive income exceed levels provided by law, we may be characterized as a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This characterization could result in adverse U.S. tax consequences to our shareholders. If we were classified as a passive foreign investment company, a U.S. holder of our ordinary shares could be subject to increased tax liability upon the sale or other disposition of ordinary shares or upon the receipt of amounts treated as “excess distributions.” Under these rules, the excess distribution and any gain would be allocated ratably over the U.S. holder’s holding period for the ordinary shares, and the amount allocated to the current taxable year and any taxable year prior to the first taxable year in which we were a passive foreign investment company would be taxed as ordinary income. The amount allocated to each of the other taxable years would be subject to tax at the highest marginal rate in effect for the applicable class of taxpayer for that year, and an interest charge for the deemed deferral benefit would be imposed on the resulting tax allocated to such other taxable years. The tax liability with respect to the amount allocated to years prior to the year of the disposition, or “excess distribution,” cannot be offset by any net operating losses. In addition, holders of shares in a passive foreign investment company may not receive a “step-up” in basis on shares acquired from a decedent. 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, as well as the specific application of the “excess distribution” and other rules discussed in this paragraph. For a discussion of how we might be characterized as a PFIC and related tax consequences, please see “Item 10.E Taxation – United States Federal Income Tax Considerations – Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations.”

ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY

A. HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPANY

Our History

        We were incorporated in the State of Israel in November 1999 under the name Verticon Ltd. We changed our name to IncrediMail Ltd. in November 2000 to better reflect the nature of our business. We operate under the laws of the State of Israel. Our headquarters are located at 2 Kaufman Street, Tel-Aviv 68012, Israel. Our phone number is (972-3) 516-0195. Our agent for service of process in the United States is Morrison & Foerster LLP, located at 1290 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10104. Our website addresses are www.incredimail-corp.com and www.incredimail.com. The information on our websites does not constitute part of this annual report.

        We completed the initial public offering of our ordinary shares in the United States on February 3, 2006, whereby we became a “limited liability public company” under the Israeli Companies Law. The registration statement on Form F-1 relating to our initial public offering became effective on January 30, 2006. Immediately prior to the effectiveness of our registration statement, we increased our authorized share capital to 15 million ordinary shares and completed a 38-for-one ordinary share split effected as a dividend on our ordinary shares. In addition, upon the closing of our initial public offering, all of our outstanding redeemable convertible preferred shares were automatically converted, on a 38-for-one basis, into 1,764,948 ordinary shares.

Principal Capital Expenditures

        We had capital expenditures of $0.3 million in 2005, and less than $0.1 million in 2004 and 2003, each. We expect that our capital expenditures will be approximately $0.8 million in 2006, mainly due to relocation of our offices. We have financed our capital expenditures with cash generated from operations.

        Our capital expenditures during 2003, 2004 and 2005 consisted primarily of computers.

        The principal capital expenditure and divestitures currently in progress consist of investment in computers and relocation of our offices within Israel. In addition, we intend to open an office in the US, incurring some additional capital expenditure. We intend to finance all these expenditures with our own resources.

B. BUSINESS OVERVIEW

Overview

        We design and market an integrated suite of customized and entertaining email software products for the consumer or home user markets. We believe we are a global technology leader in enriching email interactions by offering users the ability to design highly personalized email presentations. Our innovations in entertaining email technology, along with our large collection of multimedia content for email communication, we believe have made our website one of the top Internet destinations in the world for downloading entertaining email solutions.

        Since we began operations in 2000, we have recorded approximately 63 million registered downloads of our free product in more than 100 countries, and since January 1, 2003, we have recorded more than one million registered downloads each month. As of December 31, 2005, we have more than 10 million active users, and currently, more than 300 million IncrediMail emails are sent by our users each month. Our users typically use our products for as long as three years. Through December 31, 2005, we have sold more than 908,000 products and content licenses worldwide to our registered users. We believe our historical track record of converting registered users to purchasing customers represents a convincing validation of our business strategy.

        We generate revenue by:

  selling our premium software products and services;

  licensing and co-branding our Incredi brand to operators of third party websites; and

  selling paid advertising and sponsored links on our website and email client.

        For a breakdown of total revenues by category of activity, see “Item 5.A Operating Results – Revenues.”

        To date, we have relied mainly on “viral growth” to grow our user base. Our “viral growth” has resulted from recipients of our users’ emails clicking on the link at the bottom of emails sent with IncrediMail Xe and then downloading our products and also from word of mouth. Our revenues were $6.2 million in 2004 and $7.4 million in 2005. We have had net income every year since 2002. Since 2003, our gross profit has ranged between 92% and 93% of our gross revenues and our operating income has ranged between 40% and 42% of our gross revenues.

16



        When we use the term “registered user” in this annual report, we mean an IncrediMail user who has downloaded one of our products and completed the registration process. Registrations are not necessarily indicative of the number of individual users as a user may register more than one time. In addition, the term “active user” as used in this annual report means a registered user who has performed any activity using any IncrediMail product or service, including opening or sending emails using IncrediMail, downloading content or updating the product, in the 90 days prior to the measurement date.

Our Market

        Email Market Opportunity. In recent years, email has become one of the most important forms of electronic communication worldwide. In its June 2005 “US Online User Consumer Survey, 2005,” Jupiter Research stated that email is the most popular online activity and that 88% of respondents indicate they use email regularly. The next closest activity referenced in such report was search engines/portals at 76%. All other online activities were found to be less popular, including product/service purchase at 59%, instant messaging at 45% and online newspapers at 42%.

        The May 2005 Radicati Report estimates that the number of worldwide email users will increase from approximately 680 million in 2005 to 920 million in 2009 and that the number of email mailboxes will increase from approximately 1.2 billion in 2005 to 1.8 billion in 2009. We believe the increase in the number of email mailboxes per user indicates that our market is not limited by the number of active users in the market. Many users use more than one email client.

        The email market may be divided into two segments: the consumer, or home user, market and the business, or corporate, market. Our products target the consumer market. Both the consumer and the business markets are serviced by many of the same popular email software programs, such as Microsoft Outlook, and by web-based email services, such as Hotmail, Yahoo!® Mail and Gmail. The Radicati Report estimates that total consumer email clients will grow from approximately 760 million in 2005 to 1.3 billion in 2009 with an approximately 35%-65% split between desktop and web-based remaining constant for the period. This growth in email clients represents additional target users of our products and services.

        Security remains a critical concern for the consumer market as viruses, worms and identity theft continue to grow. Spam also continues to rise. Any new email software product should provide an effective and secure product that satisfies users’ concerns.

        Evolution of the Specialized Email Software Programs. In order to be viable, email systems must function as an effective means of communication. In addition, we believe that many in the consumer or home user market are seeking an entertaining experience and a way to express their creativity and individual personalities. We believe that consumer email users are ready to accept email software products that offer users a customizable and entertaining email experience together with security and anti-spam features.

The IncrediMail Solution

        We employ an innovative approach to enhancing our users’ email experience. Our IncrediMail products provide the following benefits:

  Variety and Amount of Content. Our products offer users access to an extensive and continually growing pool of content that we believe is one of the largest collections of creative and diverse graphics, sound and multimedia content available online for email communications. We began assembling our content in 1999.

  Creative Technology. Our proprietarytechnology, which is based on advanced software development standards, is designed to produce robust quality products that provide the functionality expected in an email client packaged in a friendly, less technologically-oriented and entertaining environment.

  Customization. The diversity of our graphics, sound and multimedia content enables our users to customize and personalize their email messages and letters easily and quickly.

  Flexibility and Ease of Use for Both Sender and Recipient. We strive to offer a simple and intuitive user interface that enables our users to create different experiences depending on the nature or recipient of the email or letter. Users can easily change one or more features for a specific email. Further, recipients of IncrediMail emails can easily open them using most available email clients and can see all the features without the need for special software.

17



Our Strategy

        Our objective is to become the market leader in entertaining and creative email systems for the consumer and home user market. Based on our survey of downloads of our products and those of competitors from third party websites, we believe that IncrediMail Xe is one of the most downloaded free products providing an entertaining and creative email system, and our strategy will include building on its popularity and seeking to convert free users to paying customers. The key elements of our strategy are to:

  Expand product offerings and increase user sales. We plan to stimulate growth of our sales and enhance our cross-sale capabilities by expanding our existing product and service offering and developing new ones. We will continue to seek to convert free users into paying customers by marketing the paid products and services to our large user base and to cross-sell additional products and services to paying users.

  Avoid offensive market tools. We design our products and services to address users’ aversion to spam, spyware and other perceived offensive Internet marketing tools, which we believe encourages more use of them and increases user loyalty.

  Acquire complementary products, technologies or companies. We seek to enhance our technology, grow our user base, and diversify our product lines and services by exploiting strategic acquisition opportunities. We intend to supplement our research and development efforts by acquiring complementary technologies and other assets that enhance the features, functionality and performance of our products and services. We may also seek to increase our user base or enhance our sales and marketing capabilities by acquiring companies in our or similar markets.

  Maintain and grow our user community. Our effective viral marketing has resulted in millions of registered users who spread the word about our products and services at relatively low marketing costs to us. For that reason, we expect a significant part of our products and services offering will remain free. In order to strengthen awareness of our Incredi brand and increase the size of our user base, we intend to use a portion of the proceeds of our recently completed initial public offering to expand our marketing methods beyond viral marketing to include advertisements, media buying, public relations activities and additional co-branding arrangements.

  Strengthen our advertising revenues. We intend to increase our revenues from monetizing visitor traffic to our website by increasing our paid advertising and sponsored links. We believe that our large registered and active user base and our growing number of paid users should be attractive to potential advertisers. We also intend to continue to develop our advertising infrastructure so that we can offer our advertisers a more effective method to reach their target audiences and thereby increase our advertising rates. We plan to increase our advertising force by expanding our sales and business development teams, opening a U.S. sales and marketing office, establishing new co-branding relationships, participating in trade shows, and strengthening our brand through other online and offline marketing activities.

  Enter into OEM, collaboration and other strategic sales and distribution arrangements. We intend to market our products to original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, with the goal of having our products bundled together with their hardware products in exchange for licensing fees. In addition, we intend to seek out licensing or collaboration arrangements similar to those we currently have with PointMatch USA Inc. for IncrediDate.com. an Internet dating site, and Oberon Media Inc. for IncrediGames.com, an Internet game site.

  Continue to focus on the online consumer market. Email continuesto grow as a communication medium. The Internet allows us to reach potential users throughout the world quickly and easily as well as reduces the costs associated with sales and distribution of our products and services.

Our Products

        Our products are available in eight languages in addition to English. Prices and license fees for our premium products vary based on market, length of license period and whether the products are offered together. We offer the following products, all of which may be downloaded over the Internet through a personal computer running on a Microsoft Windows operating system:

18



        IncrediMail Xe, launched in September 2000, is our flagship product that is available over the Internet free of charge. It offers a variety of features that the user can apply to email messages including:

  pre-prepared backgrounds and letterheads;

  animated notifiers (animated indications that mail has been received);

  emoticons (animations that are intended to convey emotions);

  3D effects;

  handwritten signatures;

  a web gallery with additional animations, notifiers and email backgrounds;

  sound effects; and

  virtual e-cards.

        Since the second quarter of 2004, IncrediMail Xe also includes basic anti-spam features that allow users to specify trusted domains and email addresses. Emails that come from the specified sources will not be treated as spam; all other emails will be automatically marked as potential spam.

        IncrediMail Premium, launched in the first quarter of 2001, is an enhanced version of Incredimail Xe. Users who upgrade their free version of IncrediMail Xe through the purchase of IncrediMail Premium also benefit from the following features:

  no advertising banners displayed in the product;

  the ability to change the appearance of the product through the use of software skins;

  voice message recorder;

  no promotional link at the bottom of outgoing emails;

  enhanced notifiers;

  a web gallery with additional animations, notifiers and email backgrounds;

  advanced account access; and

  email-based user support.

        The advanced account access system allows a user to download a specific email from an account without necessarily downloading all emails that have been delivered to the account. In addition, it allows a user to preview the email details residing on the server and delete email messages from the account without first having to download them. This software feature is built into IncrediMail Premium and does not require the user to download or install any additional software. Users are therefore able to remove undesirable emails that they suspect may be infected with viruses or that may otherwise compromise their computers without downloading them. We generally charge $29.95 for IncrediMail Premium.

        IncrediMail Letter Creator, also launched in the first quarter of 2001, is an application that enables IncrediMail Xe and IncrediMail Premium users to design and create their own personalized email letters and ecards. Such users can create their own letterheads, customize their emails with 3D effects, font styles, images and pictures and add personalized backgrounds.

        Through December 31, 2005, we have sold approximately 697,000 licenses for IncrediMail Premium or IncrediMail Letter Creator. We generally charge $39.95 for IncrediMail Letter Creator. Email users who purchase a bundled package of IncrediMail Premium and IncrediMail Letter Creator pay $49.95.

        The Gold Gallery, launched in February 2004, is a license-based content product. It offers additional IncrediMail content files in the form of email backgrounds, animations, sounds, graphics and email notifiers. Through December 31, 2005, we have sold approximately 123,000 licenses for The Gold Gallery of which approximately 61% were for a one year license, 3% were for a two year license and 36% were for a lifetime license for use of the content database.

19



        IncrediMail Xe and IncrediMail Premium users can license The Gold Gallery for a fee ranging from $25.95 to $58.55, depending on the length of the license period.

        IncrediMail Super Pack, launched in the first quarter of 2005, is a special package of emoticons sold separately. We launched the IncrediMail Super Pack in the first quarter of 2005, and through December 31, 2005, we have sold approximately 59,000 licenses for it. We generally charge $9.95 for IncrediMail Super Pack.

        JunkFilter Plus, launched in July 2005, is an advanced anti-spam product, based on the Recurrent Pattern Detection Technology (RPD™) that we license from Commtouch Ltd. JunkFilter Plus offers a filtering technique to manage unwanted email, including offensive content, viruses, hoax emails and identity theft scams. This anti-spam product is designed to automatically identify and block undesirable mail from the user’s inbox and protect against fraudulent and malicious emails. It detects and blocks spam in the first few minutes of an outbreak, unlike other anti-spam approaches. We generally charge $39.95 for our JunkFilter Plus. Through December 31, 2005, we have sold approximately 28,000 licenses for JunkFilter Plus.

Products under Development

        Our research and development activities are conducted internally by our Chief Technology Officer and a 34-person research and development staff. Our research and development efforts are focused on the development of upgraded software, new features and new products. In addition to the continued development and enhancement of our existing product suite, our current projects and products under development include the following:

        IncrediDesktop will aim to transform a traditional Windows desktop into a personalized environment with screen-savers, wallpapers, useful widgets (tools and services such as Notes, calendar, desktop frame with family photos, stock quotes, weather, clocks, maps etc.). We expect to announce the release of this product shortly.

        IncrediPhoto is aimed at the digital photography market and will allow users to import images from a variety of digital sources. Editing tools will allow the images to be manipulated. IncrediPhoto will allow users to create attractive enhanced and personalized photo albums and share pictures via email, create their own prints, upload web galleries to the Internet and slide shows for display on personal computers. This development is still is in its initial stages.

        We intend to offer SMS communication services, which will allow our users to send and receive mobile phone text messages through our email programs, by entering into revenue sharing agreements with mobile telecommunication operators. We intend to offer both automatic email notifications by SMS direct to cellular phones and SMS communication between the email programs and cellular phones.

        Although the above projects are the initiatives currently identified by our management, we cannot assure you that these projects will be completed as currently contemplated or at all. In addition, future initiatives may take priority over the development of these projects.

Sales, Marketing and Distribution

        Our products are sold throughout the world in more than 100 countries. The following chart shows the distribution since inception of our registered users by territory:

        To date, we have relied mainly on “viral growth,” arising from recipients of our users’ emails clicking on the link at the bottom of emails sent with IncrediMail Xe and then downloading our products and from word-of-mouth. We intend to use a portion of the proceeds of our initial public offering to implement traditional marketing strategies, including offline and online advertising and public relations events. We have designed our products to address users’ aversion to spam, spyware and other perceived offensive Internet marketing tools. To date, we have not been affected by the growing number of installations by Internet users of “filter” software programs that allow them to block “pop up” advertisements or to prevent installation of software components that act as spying agents. The growth of our advertising revenues would be adversely affected if our products were subject to being “filtered” by consumers.

20



        We plan to open an office in the United States in 2006 to sell IncrediMail advertising space and execute local marketing and brand activities. Establishing operations in the United States should also make it easier for us to seek out business development deals such as OEM agreements with hardware manufacturers, co-branding agreements, and licenses from, or other transactions with, providers of content that itself may be branded or well-known.

        We have typically experienced stronger sales in the first and fourth quarters, principally because our products and services are purchased in holiday sales in December or in the after-holiday sales in January.

        We currently have a Vice President – Marketing and seven employees in our sales and marketing department. We expect to hire additional sales and marketing personnel both in Israel and in the United States as we increase our marketing efforts. We believe that we will be better able to market our products and services and increase advertising revenue if we have a physical presence in the United States because the United States is one of the largest advertising markets in the world, the perceived need for direct personal relationships in the advertising and marketing industries and the effects of the difference in time zones between Israel and the United States.

        We have an agreement with Alegria Corporation that provides for the licensing of our proprietary software to Alegria for the purpose of marketing and distributing our products in Japan and South Korea. The agreement was entered into in February 2003 for an initial term of two years and will be automatically extended for additional consecutive periods of one year each unless terminated by either party at least 90 days prior to the end of the then current term. The Japanese version of our software products and services was launched in December 2003.

        The license we granted to Alegria is non-transferable and was granted on an exclusive basis for use in Japan and South Korea during the first 12 months following the launch of the Japanese version of our software products and services. The license remains exclusive for an additional 12 months if Alegria meets a revenue target to be determined. Through December 31, 2005, there were nominal paid downloads of our products from the Japanese website and we have not received any significant revenues from this arrangement.

        We intend to use a portion of the proceeds of our initial public offering to seek out additional marketing and distribution arrangements, including OEM agreements with computer manufacturers.

Collaborations

        We have licensing and promotion arrangements with PointMatch USA Inc. and Oberon Media Inc., for the use of our brand name.

        Under the agreement with PointMatch USA, PointMatch USA provides content services and manages, hosts and maintains a website that provides matchmaking services to Internet users, using our Incredi brand for the domain name IncrediDate.com and our website’s graphical external envelop. In addition, we promote the matchmaking website, among other things, through a link on our website. PointMatch USA can monitor our promotional activities through reports provided by us and we can monitor registration and sale activities in the IncrediDate.com website through a system provided by PointMatch USA. The agreement with PointMatch USA was entered into in July 2003 for an initial term of four months, but has been extended by the parties and may now be terminated by either party with reasonable prior notice. In addition, in the event of a change of control (as defined in the agreement) in IncrediMail or PointMatch USA, the agreement, including any non-competition undertaking contained in the agreement, may be terminated by a three days written notice. The agreement provides that we may not integrate or promote a similar website during the term of the agreement and for a period of 12 months after its termination, or compete with PointMatch USA for a period of 12 months following the termination of the business relationship between the parties. In consideration for our brand and promotional activity, we are entitled to receive 50% of the gross revenues (as defined in the agreement) generated from the matchmaking website, including subscription and advertising fees but excluding refunds to customers and credit card commissions, during the term of the agreement. In addition, for a period of 18 months after the termination of the agreement, we are entitled to receive 50% of the subscription fees received by PointMatch USA from subscriptions to the match making website. For a period of 12 months after termination of the agreement, members who may try to access the IncrediDate site through IncrediDate.com will be automatically forwarded to PointMatch USA’s CupidUSA.com. In addition, for 12 months following termination of the agreement, PointMatch USA has a right of first refusal to purchase or lease the IncrediDating.com and IncrediDate.com domain names.

21



        Under our agreement with Oberon Media Inc., Oberon Media sells its gaming software through a website using our Incredi brand for the domain name IncrediGames and our website’s graphical external envelop. In addition, we market and promote the IncrediGames’ website, among other things, through a link in our website’s main toolbar. In consideration for our brand and promotional activity, we share the net license fees (as defined in the agreement) Oberon Media receives from end-users in connection with the purchase of its software through the IncrediGames website. The agreement with Oberon Media was made effective in January 2004.

Intellectual Property

        We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws and confidentiality and invention assignment agreements to protect our intellectual property rights.

        Most of the components of our software products and services were developed solely by us. We have licensed certain components of our software, such as a speller function, from third parties. Except for our agreement with Commtouch Ltd. (described below), all of these licenses entailed a one-time fee or are freeware. We believe that these components are not material to the overall performance of our software and may be replaced without significant difficulty.

        In 2000, we submitted patent applications in the United States, the European Community and Israel for the following two processes:

  A system and method for the visual feedback of command execution in electronic mail systems; and

  A system and method for the intelligent transmission of digital content embedded in electronic mail messages.

        In March 2006, a patent was awarded for the first process; the second application has not yet been issued a patent.

        We enter into licensing arrangements with third parties for the use of graphic, sound and multimedia content integrated into our products.

        We have registered INCREDIMAIL as a trademark in the United States. All other trademarks, trade names and service marks appearing in this annual report are the property of their respective owners.

        All professional employees and technical consultants are required to execute confidentiality covenants in connection with their employment and consulting relationships with us. We also require them to agree to disclose and assign to us all inventions conceived in connection with their services to us. However, there can be no assurance that these arrangements will be enforceable or that they will provide us with adequate protection.

        JunkFilter Plus was developed using an anti-spam software development kit developed by Commtouch Ltd. Under our December 2004 agreement with Commtouch, Commtouch granted us a nonexclusive right and license to copy the software development kit and related software and documentation for purposes of further development or modification in connection with the design, development and sale of products that integrate the spam identification and classification services of Commtouch’s Detection Center, and to sell products incorporating such software and documentation. Under the agreement, we will pay Commtouch an annual fee for each customer who purchases JunkFilter Plus based on the number of purchasers, subject in the first year to a minimum required fee for 25,000 purchases. The agreement has a one-year initial term, beginning with the commercial launch date of the JunkFilter Plus in July 2005. We may mutually renew the agreement for successive periods of 12 months each but during any renewal period either of us may terminate the agreement upon 90 days’ prior written notice or with shorter notice upon the occurrence of certain events enumerated in the agreement. Commtouch will continue to provide customers with accessibility to its software and our integrated products following termination of the agreement, and the licenses granted to our customers will also survive such termination. The parties are currently discussing amending the current agreement.

Competition

        Our industry is subject to intense competition. Our products compete in the specialized market for email software products and services that aim to offer a personalized and entertaining email experience for consumers. IncrediMail was among the first companies to offer to the consumer email market a solution that combines an email product with an online gallery of creative content. Compiling content is a lengthy process and we have been doing it since 1999. We consider ourselves a pioneer in this market and we believe that we have an “early mover” advantage over many of our competitors. We believe that IncrediMail has one of the largest collections of creative and diverse graphics, sound and multimedia content available online for email communications.

22



        Our ability to compete effectively depends upon our ability to distinguish our company and our products from our competitors and their products, and includes the following factors:

  the creativity, variety and volume of content accessible through our software;

  product quality;

  product pricing;

  success and timing of new product development and introductions;

  quality of customer support;

  Maintaining our reputation for fighting spam and offering spyware-free products;

  intellectual property protection; and

  development of successful marketing channels.

        Our main competitors among specialized providers of email services offer the following products: Arcsoft Multimedia Email™ 3, Comet Cursor Plus, LetterMark™ email, FunWeb Products™, Hotbar®, Metamail 4.0 and WikMail 2005. In addition, our products also face competition from general email software programs offered to the private market by large Internet and software companies, such as AOL9 and NetscapeMail by America Online, Inc., Eudora® by QUALCOMM Incorporated (Nasdaq: QCOM), FireFox Mail® by Mozilla Foundation and Outlook Express and MSN9 by Microsoft Corporation (Nasdaq: MSFT), some of which may also incorporate certain special features that provide a personalized email experience. Many of the large Internet and software companies offer their email software programs free of charge. Competition with these products could result in reduced prices and margins, fewer purchases of our products and services and loss of market share.

        Many of our competitors have more established brands, products and customer relationships than we do, which could inhibit our market penetration efforts even if they may not offer a customized and entertaining email experience similar to IncrediMail. For example, consumers may choose to receive an extensive package of Internet and email services from a more dominant and recognized company, such as Microsoft Corporation (Outlook Express or MSN®) or America Online, Inc. (AOL®). If we are unable to achieve continued market penetration, we will be unable to compete effectively.

        In addition, many of our other current and potential competitors have significantly greater financial, research and development, manufacturing, and sales and marketing resources than we have. These competitors could use their greater financial resources to acquire other companies to gain enhanced name recognition and market share, as well as to develop new technologies, products or features that could effectively compete with our existing product lines. Demand for our products could be diminished by products and technologies offered by competitors, whether or not their products and technologies are equivalent or superior.

Government Regulation

        Our database, which includes a database of registered users, falls within the definition of a database that requires registration under the Israeli Protection of Privacy Law 1981. Maintaining a database other than in compliance with this law may subject the owner, holder, manager and operator to criminal liability and civil liability. We registered our database with the Data Base Registrar on June 20, 2004.

        There are still relatively few laws or regulations specifically addressing the Internet. As a result, the manner in which existing laws and regulations should be applied to the Internet in general, and how they relate to our business in particular, is unclear in many cases. Such uncertainty arises under existing laws regulating matters, including user privacy, defamation, pricing, advertising, taxation, gambling, sweepstakes, promotions, content regulation, quality of products and services, and intellectual property ownership and infringement.

23



        However, to resolve some of the current legal uncertainty, it is possible that new laws and regulations will be adopted that will be directly applicable to our activities. Any existing or new legislation applicable to us could expose us to liability, including significant expenses necessary to comply with such laws and regulations, and could dampen the growth in use of the Internet in general. Several new U.S. federal laws have already been adopted that could have an impact on our business. The CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 is intended to regulate spam and create criminal penalties for unmarked sexually-oriented material and emails containing fraudulent headers. The USA Patriot Act is intended to give the government greater ability to conduct surveillance on the Internet by allowing it to intercept communications regarding terrorism and computer fraud and abuse. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act is intended to reduce the liability of online service providers for listing or linking to third-party Websites that include materials that infringe copyrights or other rights of others. The Children’s Online Protection Act, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, and the Prosecutorial Remedies and Other Tools to End Exploitation of Children Today Act of 2003, are intended to restrict the distribution of certain materials deemed harmful to children and impose additional restrictions on the ability of online services to collect user information from minors. In addition, the Protection of Children From Sexual Predators Act of 1998 requires online service providers to report evidence of violations of federal child pornography laws under certain circumstances. Under the U.K. Data Protection Act and the European Union Data Protection Directive, a failure to ensure that personal information is accurate and secure or a transfer of personal information to a country without adequate privacy protections could result in criminal or civil penalties. Such legislation may impose significant additional costs on our business or subject us to additional liabilities. When users visit our website or install and use our software, certain “cookies” (pieces of information sent by a web server to a user’s browser) may be generated by us and our advertisers and may be placed on our customers’ computers. While we believe that our use of cookies does not result in personal identification, it has been argued that Internet protocol addresses and cookies are intrinsically personally identifiable information that is subject to privacy standards. We cannot assure you that our current policies and procedures would meet these restrictive standards. We post our privacy policy and practices concerning the use and disclosure of user data. Any failure by us to comply with our posted privacy policy, Federal Trade Commission requirements or other domestic or international privacy-related laws and regulations could result in proceedings by governmental or regulatory bodies that could potentially harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. In this regard, there are a large number of legislative proposals before the European Union, as well as before the United States Congress and various state legislative bodies regarding privacy issues related to our business. It is not possible to predict whether or when such legislation may be adopted, and certain proposals, if adopted, could harm our business through a decrease in user registrations and revenues. These decreases could be caused by, among other possible provisions, the required use of disclaimers or other requirements before users can utilize our services.

C. ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE

        IncrediMail is not part of a group and does not have any subsidiaries.

D. PROPERTY, PLANTS AND EQUIPMENT

        We lease our facility, located in Tel Aviv, Israel, pursuant to three leases. One of the leases expires in April 2006, another expires in August 2006 and the third expires in December 2006. The leases cover four areas in the same building, which are leased to us by different lessors. Our leases are for a total area of 822 square meters, at a monthly rent of approximately $8,400. The lease that expires in April 2006, includes an option to extend such lease for a period of 36 months. In addition, we can terminate one of the leases by providing 90 days prior notice and an alternative lessee. To accommodate our current growth plans, we are negotiating to lease alternate space, significantly larger than that currently leased, in one of two locations. We expect to conclude these negotiations and relocate our offices within the next six months and until such time we intend to extend the existing leases as required.

        We own 41 servers and lease additional servers that are hosted in a server farm by Bezeq International Ltd., which we refer to herein as Bezeq. Our servers include mainly web servers, application servers, ad servers, mail servers and database servers. Bezeq provides the Internet and related telecommunications services, including hosting and location facilities, needed to operate our website. Bezeq is Israel’s largest provider of such services and is a member of Bezeq Group, Israel’s national telecommunications provider. Bezeq provides these services through standard purchase orders and invoices. We add servers and expand our systems located at their facilities as our operations require. We have no current intention to replace Bezeq or to employ an additional provider for these services. We believe there are many alternative providers of these services both within and outside of Israel.

ITEM 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

        The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes to the financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion and analysis contains forward looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results and timing of selected events may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward looking statements as a result of many factors, including those discussed under “Item 3.D Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this annual report.

A. OPERATING RESULTS

Overview

        We design and market an integrated suite of customized and entertaining email software products for the consumer or home user markets. We believe we are a global technology leader in enriching email interactions by offering users the ability to design highly personalized email presentations. Our innovations in entertaining email technology, along with our large collection of multimedia content for email communication, we believe have made our website one of the top Internet destinations in the world for downloading entertaining email solutions.

        Since we began operations in 2000, we have recorded approximately 63 million registered downloads of our free product in more than 100 countries, and since January 1, 2003, we have recorded more than one million registered downloads each month. As of December 31, 2005, we have more than 10 million active users, and currently, our users send more than 300 million IncrediMail emails each month. We define an “active” user as any user who has performed any activity using any IncrediMail product or service, including opening or sending emails using IncrediMail, downloading content or updating the product, in the 90 days prior to the measurement date. Our users typically use our products for as long as three years. Through December 31, 2005, we have sold more than 908,000 products and content licenses worldwide to our registered users. We believe our historical track record of converting registered users to purchasing customers represents a convincing validation of our business strategy.

        Prices and license fees for our products vary based on market, length of license period and whether the products are offered together. Our prices and fees range from less than $10 to about $60.

Revenues

        We generate our revenues primarily from five major sources; (i) software licensing, mainly IncrediMail Premium, our email software, and its complimentary products, , (ii) content licensing of The Gold Gallery, our content database, (iii) JunkFilter Plus service, our anti-spam solution introduced in the third quarter of 2005, (iv) advertising, in our email client, our content database and on our website, and (v) collaboration arrangements with two websites operators who use our Incredi brand name and to whom we refer users, IncrediGames.com, an online computer games site, and IncrediDate.com, an online dating service. The following table shows our revenues by category: (in thousands)

Total revenues, net     $ 5,160   $ 6,208   $ 7,402  




Cost of Revenues

        Our cost of revenues consists primarily of salaries and related expenses, as well as payments for content and server maintenance.

Research and Development Expenses

        Our research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and other personnel-related expenses of employees primarily engaged in research and development activities. We expect our research and development expenditures to increase significantly in absolute dollars and as a percentage of revenues as we continue to devote resources to research and develop new products.

25



Selling and Marketing Expenses

        Our selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of credit card commissions, fees to our payment gateway providers that provide secure Internet payment processes, and salaries and related expenses for those engaged in the sales and marketing of our products. Credit card commissions vary between 1.9% and 3.3% based on the credit card, currency of payment and location of clearing agency. Payment gateway fees are fixed fees to a payment gateway provider that aggregate approximately $60,000 per quarter. We expect our selling and marketing expenses to increase significantly both in absolute dollars and as a percentage of revenues as a result of expansion of our marketing efforts.

General and Administrative Expenses

        Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and other personnel-related expenses for executive, accounting and administrative personnel, professional fees and other general corporate expenses. We expect our general and administrative expenses to increase in absolute dollars and as a percentage of revenues as a result of both our continuing growth and our becoming a public company. We currently expect that our expenses related primarily to being a public company, including additional internal and external auditing and accounting expenses, increased legal fees, directors’ fees (fees, increased insurance costs and options), public and investor relations expenses, filing and other fees payable to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the Nasdaq Stock Market, transfer agent fees and other administrative costs, will be approximately $1.5 million on an annual basis.

Financial Expenses, net

        Financial expenses consist primarily of exchange rate differences.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

        In 2001 and 2003, we were granted the status of “Approved Enterprise” with respect to two separate investment programs, entitling us to a tax exemption for a period of two years and to a reduced tax rate of 10%-25% for an additional period of five to eight years (depending on the level of foreign investment in our company). The “Approved Enterprise” status only allows corporate tax benefits on undistributed profits generated from operations, requiring regular Israeli corporate tax on income generated from other sources. We have received approval for continued “Approved Enterprise” status through 2007. See “Israeli Taxation–Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959” for more information about these programs.

Stock-Based Compensation

    Valuation. We record deferred stock-based compensation for financial reporting purposes under the guidance of Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 44, “Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation,” in accounting for our employee share option plan. Under APB No. 25, when the exercise price of an employee share option is equivalent to or above the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized. Our stock-based compensation to employees was allocated as follows: (in thousands)

Year Ended December 31,

        As discussed more fully in Note 9 to our financial statements, we granted stock options with an exercise price of $1.72 on December 1, 2004 and on July 1, 2005, which were the only options granted since January 1, 2005. Also as disclosed in Note 9, we determined that as of December 1, 2004 the fair value of our ordinary shares was $4.68 and the intrinsic value (fair value less exercise price) was $2.96; and that as of July 1, 2005, the fair value was $7.00 and the intrinsic value was $5.28. We recognize the intrinsic value per share as stock-based compensation expense over the applicable vesting period, which equals the service period.

26



        The fair value of the ordinary shares underlying options granted on December 1, 2004 was originally estimated by us. We did not obtain a contemporaneous valuation by an unrelated valuation specialist because, at the time of the issuance of those options, we applied our limited resources to developing new products, promoting our existing products and building the required infrastructure for sustained growth. In August 2005 we engaged an independent valuation specialist, Variance Economic Consulting Ltd., to reassess the valuation of ordinary shares relating to the December 1, 2004 grants of options.

        We determined the fair value of the options granted on July 1, 2005 based on a $7.00 fair value per share (which was the midpoint of the range of the assumed initial public offering price, as we had begun to prepare for our initial public offering at that date).

        Significant factors contributing to the difference between fair value as of December 1, 2004 and the initial public offering price. The reasons for the difference between $4.68 per share fair market value described above and $7.00 per share relate primarily to the additional products that we have launched since December 2004. The IncrediMail Super Pack, a special package of emoticons sold separately, was launched in the first quarter of 2005 at a general price of $9.95. Through September 30, 2005, we have sold approximately 39,000 Super Packs, which has exceeded our expectations and contributed to such difference. In July 2005, we launched JunkFilter Plus, an advanced anti-spam product. We generally charge $39.95 for our JunkFilter Plus. Through December 31, 2005, we have sold approximately 12,600 JunkFilter Plus. We did not include either of those products in our calculations of fair value at December 1, 2004. In addition, the fair value was calculated using the probability-weighted expected return method. The value of an enterprise’s ordinary shares was estimated based upon an analysis of future values for the company assuming various possible future liquidity events (initial public offering, strategic sale or merger, private company and liquidation). The probability of the initial public offering event was determined to be 40% as of December 2004. Based on the initial public offering price of $7.50, the intrinsic value of the options outstanding at December 31, 2005 was $1.4 million of which $0.5 million would have been amortized through that date.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

        The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operation are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate these estimates on an on-going basis. We base our estimates on our historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying amount values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Under U.S. GAAP, when more than one accounting method or policy or its application is generally accepted, our management selects the accounting method or policy that it believes to be most appropriate in the specific circumstances. Our management considers some of these accounting policies to be critical.

        A critical accounting policy is an accounting policy that management believes is both most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results and requires management’s most difficult subjective or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make accounting estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. While our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2 to our financial statements, we believe the following accounting policies to be critical:

Revenue recognition

        Revenues from email software license sales are recognized when all criteria outlined in Statement Of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition” (as amended), are met. Revenues from software license are recognized when persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, delivery of the product has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable.

        For substantially all of our software arrangements, we evaluate each of these criteria as follows:

        Evidence of an arrangement: We consider a clicking on “acceptance” of the agreement terms to be evidence of an arrangement.

        Delivery: Delivery is considered to occur when the license key is sent via email to the customer or alternatively the customer is given access to download the licensed key.

27



        Fixed or determinable fee: Fees are determinable at the time of sale. The Company does not have any significant obligation. Customers are charged immediately through credit cards. In addition, although the fees are subject to a 14-day refund, we consider collection to be probable as our historical experience shows that refunds are less than 1% of our revenues.

        Collection is probable: We are subject to a minimal amount of collection risk related to our customers as collection is primarily obtained through credit card sales.

        Revenues from licensing The Gold Gallery content database are recognized over the term of the licensing period. We offer one year, two year and lifetime licenses for The Gold Gallery content for a one-time, upfront payment. The Gold Gallery may be used only in conjunction with our IncrediMail email software. We have estimated the expected useful life of IncrediMail Premium to be three years because our historical data is that approximately 8% of purchasers are using IncrediMail Premium at the end of three years. Our estimation of the lifetime usage of The Gold Gallery was based on the similar characteristics of the usage patterns for IncrediMail Premium and The Gold Gallery: (i) The Gold Gallery is a feature that is added to the IncrediMail software and can not be used by itself, (ii) both Incredimail Premium and The Gold Gallery lifetime license are perpetual licenses, (iii) there is high correlation between the percentage of active users of IncrediMail Premium and The Gold Gallery lifetime license both within one year from purchase and 18 months from purchase, and (iv) the purchase price for The Gold Gallery lifetime license approximates three times the one year license for The Gold Gallery (with an appropriate discount). Therefore, we recognize revenue for The Gold Gallery lifetime license over three years. We continually track usage patterns, and as we gather more user information, we could revise this estimated useful life. If the useful life of The Gold Gallery is demonstrated to be shorter or longer than three years, we would recognize revenues earlier or later.

        Revenues from JunkFilter Plus services are recognized over one year, which is the term of the service period.

        Our deferred revenue consists of the unamortized balance of The Gold Gallery and the JunkFilter Plus license fees, which totaled $3.3 million as of December 31, 2005, of which $2.3 million was classified as short-term deferred revenues and the balance as long-term deferred revenue on our balance sheet.

        Revenues from advertising on our website and in our email client are recognized when we are entitled to receive the fee. Advertisers are charged and pay monthly, based on the number of clicks generated by users clicking on these ads.

        Collaboration arrangements are established with other websites who use our brand name Incredi and to whom we refer users. Under the agreement the collaborators provide their products and services and manage, host and maintain the websites that provide games or matchmaking services to Internet users, using our Incredi brand for the domain names IncrediGames.com and IncrediDate.com and our website’s graphical external envelop. In addition, we promote these websites, among other things, through promotions on our website and email client. In consideration for our brand and promotional activity, we are entitled to share the net or gross revenues, (as provided in each agreement) generated from these websites, including subscription and advertising fees. Revenues from these collaboration arrangements are recognized when earned and based on reports received from the collaborating party.

Stock-based compensation

        Significant factors, assumptions, and methodologies used in determining fair value. Prior to our initial public offering, determining the fair value of our ordinary shares requires making complex and subjective judgments. The primary factor we relied upon in December 2004 was the valuation given to the company in two potential acquisition transactions that our board of directors reviewed. In both potential acquisitions, our valuation was essentially agreed upon with the unrelated acquirers although neither transaction progressed further than the negotiating stage. We also used the “income approach” to value our ordinary shares. The income approach utilizes a procedure generally known as the discounted cash flow, or DCF, method of valuation. The value determined by the DCF analysis reflects the operations and cost structure of a company, and it is generally considered the best indicator of value when sufficient projected and historical operating results are available. The income approach involves applying appropriate discount rates to estimate cash flows that are based on expected annual growth rates. Our revenue forecasts for 2005 and 2006 were based on estimates of rate of growth for each source of revenues (i.e., software products, advertising and collaborations) and on expected revenues of new products being developed according to our budget. Our revenue forecasts for later years were based upon expected annual growth rates of each source of revenues ranging from 5% to 35%. We estimated an increase in costs proportional to the increase in revenues and we expected to maintain our margins that are inherent to our industry. The assumptions underlying the estimates also are consistent with our future plans. The risks associated with achieving our forecasts were a factor in selecting the appropriate cost of capital. The cost of capital used was 25% and was determined using the capital asset pricing model, or CAPM, based upon a group of peer companies from the Internet software and services industry. If a different cost of capital had been used, the valuation would have been different.

28



        The value of an enterprise’s ordinary shares was estimated based upon an analysis of future values for the enterprise assuming various possible future liquidity events (initial public offering, strategic sale or merger, private company and liquidation). Share value so calculated is based upon the probability-weighted present value of expected future net cash flows, considering each of the possible future events, as well as the rights and preferences of each share class. Scenario probabilities and future values were based on management estimates and on deals proposed to the company by third parties. If a different method was used or different probabilities and future values were assumed, the allocation of the enterprise value would have been different.

Income taxes

        As part of the process of preparing our financial statements, we are required to estimate our income taxes. This process involves management estimating our actual current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within our balance sheet. We must then assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and, to the extent we believe that recovery is not likely, we must establish a valuation allowance. To the extent we establish a valuation allowance or increase this allowance in a period, we must include an expense within the tax item in the statement of income. Significant management judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, our deferred tax assets and any valuation allowance recorded against our net deferred tax assets.

        Two of our investment programs have been granted “Approved Enterprise” status under the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959. For these programs, we have elected alternative benefits, waiving grants in return for tax exemptions. Income derived from the programs is tax-exempt for a period of two years commencing 2003 and 2005 for the first and second programs, respectively, and is taxed at the reduced corporate tax rate of 10%-25% for an additional period of five to eight years (depending on the level of foreign-investment in our company). Our income from sources other than the “Approved Enterprise” during the period of benefits is taxable at the regular corporate tax rate which is 36%, 35% and 34% for 2003 2004 and 2005, respectively. See “Israeli Taxation” for more information. On July 20, 2005 our shareholders approved a dividend distribution in the amount of $4.3 million, which was paid on July 27, 2005. Out of this dividend, an amount of $ 2.8 million was paid from tax-exempt income and we recorded a provision for income tax in the amount of $0.9 million in our statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Recent accounting pronouncements

        In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment”. SFAS No. 123(R) will provide investors and other users of financial statements with more complete and neutral financial information by requiring that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. SFAS No. 123(R) covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. SFAS No. 123(R) replaces SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, and supersedes APB No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”. SFAS No. 123, as originally issued in 1995, established as preferable a fair-value-based method of accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees. However, that Statement permitted entities the option of continuing to apply the guidance in APB No. 25, as long as the footnotes to financial statements disclosed what net income would have been had the preferable fair-value-based method been used. Public entities will be required to apply SFAS No. 123(R) as of the first annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. As permitted by SFAS No. 123, the Company currently accounts for share-based payments to employees using APB No. 25‘s intrinsic value method. Accordingly, the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R)‘s fair value will have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, although it will have no impact on its overall financial position. In 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123(R) using the “modified prospective” method. Under this method, companies are required to recognize compensation cost for share-based payments to employees based on their grant-date fair value from the beginning of the fiscal period in which the recognition provisions are first applied. Measurement and recognition of compensation cost for awards that were granted prior to, but not vested as of, the date SFAS No. 123(R) is adopted would be based on the same estimate of the grant-date fair value and the same recognition method used previously under SFAS No. 123 (either for financial statement recognition or pro forma disclosure purposes). Any adjustments to recognize share-based liabilities at fair value (as opposed to intrinsic value under APB No. 25) will be recognized as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. For those awards that are granted, modified, or settled after SFAS No. 123(R) is adopted, compensation cost will be measured and recognized in the financial statements in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R).

29



        For periods prior to adoption, the financial statements are unchanged, and the pro forma disclosures previously required by SFAS No. 123 will continue to be required under the new standard to the extent those amounts differ from those in the statements of income. For periods subsequent to adoption, pro forma disclosures will not be necessary for periods that begin after the adoption date of the new standard because the post-adoption income statements will reflect compensation cost for all share-based payments for which requisite service continues to be provided based on fair value. Additionally, if the company did not estimate forfeitures prior to adopting SFAS No. 123(R), forfeitures will have to be estimated upon adoption. Those companies are required to recognize a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principles to reverse compensation cost recognized in the financial statements (not cost “recognized” only in the pro forma disclosures) in periods prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 123(R) for those awards that are not expected to vest. The impact of adoption of SFAS 123(R) on future periods cannot be predicted at this time because it will depend on share-based payments granted in the future. However, had the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) in prior periods, the impact of the standard would have approximated the impact of SFAS No. 123 as described in the disclosure of pro forma net income and earnings per share in Note 2(o) to the financial statements.

        In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29". The guidance in APB Opinion No. 29, “Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions” (“APB 29”), is based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measure based on fair value of the assets exchanged. APB 29 included certain exceptions to that principle. SFAS No. 153 amends APB 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. SFAS No. 153 is effective for nonmonetary assets exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. We do not expect that the adoption of SFAS No. 153 will have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

        As shown in the above table, our operations are characterized by high margins, which are attributable mainly to two factors: (i) we do not have manufacturing costs for our products, and (ii) we sell our products and services online and rely primarily on viral marketing, our sales and marketing costs are relatively low. We expect our operating margins to remain high although they may not remain at the levels we have experienced in recent years because we expect our marketing and advertising costs and research and development costs to increase, particularly when we establish an office in the United States.

Year Ended December 31, 2005 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2004

        Revenues. Revenues increased by 19%, from $6.2 million in 2004 to $7.4 million in 2005. The increase in revenues was primarily due to a $1.3 million increase in The Gold Gallery revenues, $0.2 million in revenues from JunkFilter Plus, introduced in the third quarter of 2005, and a $0.2 million increase in revenues from advertising and collaborations, partially offset by a $0.5 million decrease in IncrediMail Premium sales. Since the increase in new registered users has been stable, we believe that this decrease resulted from the introduction of new subscription products in the latter parts of 2004 and 2005, all competing for revenues from our user base. We believe subscription products and services are more profitable than those sold for a one-time-fee, and our marketing efforts have therefore emphasized them. To the extent we issue in the future new email related products to our users, although we would do so expecting total revenues to increase, this could be by increasing sales from the new products, partially offset by a decrease in revenues from pre-existing products.

        Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues increased $0.1 million from $0.5 million in 2004 to $0.6 million in 2005. This increase was primarily attributable to additional purchase of content rights. As a percentage of revenues, cost of revenues remained stable at 8%.

        Research and Development Expenses (“R&D”). R&D increased $0.7 million, from $1.3 million in 2004 to $2.0 million in 2005. The increase was primarily attributable to a $0.4 million increase in compensation expenses and a $0.2 million increase in subcontracting expenses. As a percentage of revenues, R&D increased from 21% in 2004 to 28% in 2005.

        Selling and Marketing Expenses. Selling and marketing expenses increased $0.3 million, from $0.6 million in 2004 to $0.9 million in 2005. The increase in selling and marketing expenses was primarily attributable to a $0.2 million increase in credit card commissions and fees resulting primarily from the increase in revenues and a $0.2 million increase in salary and related expenses as a result of our hiring a new Vice President of Marketing in mid-2004 and the amortization of benefits relating to the issuance of options to marketing personnel. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in advertising expenses, due to us not renewing an advertising arrangement. As a percentage of revenues, selling and marketing expenses increased from 9% in 2004 to 12% in 2005.

        General and Administrative Expenses (“G&A”). G&A decreased $0.4 million, from $1.3 million in 2004 to $0.9 million in 2005, this decrease was primarily due to the non-recurrence of a one time expense in the fourth quarter of 2004, due to expensing $0.5 million of previously deferred issuance costs, partially offset by increased salary and related expenses. As a percentage of revenues, G&A decreased from 20% in 2004 to 12% in 2005.

        Income Before Tax. Income before tax increased 11%, from $2.6 million in 2004 to $2.9 million in 2005. The increase was primarily attributable to growth in revenues without a corresponding growth in expenses.

        Income Tax. The two years’ tax exemption from the first “Approved Enterprise” program ended on December 31, 2004. As a result, tax expenses increased to $0.8 million in 2005. In addition we recorded a one-time tax expense in the amount of $0.9 million in respect of a dividend paid out of tax-exempt income that was declared and paid in July 2005. Under Israeli tax law, tax-exempt income that is distributed becomes taxable upon distribution at the corporate tax rate applicable to such income (currently 25% of the gross distributed amount).

        Net Income. Net income decreased from $2.8 million in 2004, to $1.1 million in 2005, primarily due to the $1.9 million increase in tax expenses, of which $0.9 million resulted from a dividend distribution. This was partially offset by the increase in net income before taxes as described above.

Year Ended December 31, 2004 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2003

        Revenues. Revenues increased by 22%, from $5.1 million in 2003 to $6.2 million in 2004. The increase was primarily attributable to increased sales due to the launch of two co-branding collaboration agreements that offer internet games and dating that contributed an additional $0.6 million, an increase in advertising revenues that contributed an additional $0.3 million and the launch of The Gold Gallery, which contributed an additional $0.3 million to revenues and $1.4 million to deferred revenues, partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in software sales.

31



        Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues increased $0.1 million, from $0.4 million in 2003 to $0.5 million in 2004. This increase was almost entirely attributable to the hiring of additional personnel hired to support our increased revenues. As a percentage of revenues, cost of revenues increased from 7% in 2003 to 8% in 2004.

        Research and Development Expenses. R&D remained relatively constant during 2003 and 2004 at approximately $1.3 million. As a percentage of revenues, R&D decreased from 26% in 2003 to 21% in 2004 due to growth in revenues while R&D remained constant.

        Selling and Marketing Expenses. Selling and marketing expenses decreased $0.1 million, from $0.7 million in 2003 to $0.6 million in 2004. The decrease in selling and marketing expenses was primarily attributable to a decrease of $0.2 million in media buying for promotion purposes attributable to the end of an advertising campaign on a third party website. This decrease was partially offset by a $0.1 million increase in credit card commissions and payment gateway provider fees. As a percentage of revenues, selling and marketing expenses decreased from 13% in 2003 to 9% in 2004, primarily due to the substantial decrease in advertising expenses.

        General and Administrative Expenses. G&A increased $0.7 million, from $0.6 million in 2003 to $1.3 million in 2004. The increase in G&A was primarily attributable to $0.5 million of expenses from the terminated London AIM initial public offering that were recorded at the end of 2004 when we decided to examine other funding alternatives, including the possibility of offering our securities to the public in the United States. Additionally, there was an increase of $0.2 million in professional fees because of services rendered by our advisers in connection with potential acquisition transactions. As a percentage of revenues, G&A increased from 12% in 2003 to 20% in 2004.

        Income before Tax. Income before tax increased 18% from $2.2 million in the 2003 to $2.6 million in 2004, primarily due to the increase in gross profits, partially offset by the increase in G&A as described above..

        Income Tax Benefits. Income tax benefits increased from $0.1 million in 2003 to $0.2 million in 2004 mainly due to recognition of additional deferred tax assets resulting from temporary differences in respect of research and development expenses that, under Israeli tax law, are deductible over a three-year period.

B. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        Since inception we have funded our operations principally from private placements of ordinary and preferred shares that resulted in aggregate net proceeds of approximately $3.3 million and cash flow from operations. We have not taken bank loans and do not maintain any credit facilities. Bank Hapoalim has a first priority pledge on a deposit made by us in the amount of approximately $30,000 and accumulated interest to secure our obligations under a credit card issued to us by the bank.

        As of December 31, 2005, we had working capital of $3.0 million, and our primary source of liquidity was $4.9 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and cash flow from operations. As of December 31, 2004, we had working capital of $6.2 million and our primary source of liquidity was $5.6 million in cash, cash equivalents, short-term bank deposits and marketable securities and cash flow from operations. The decrease in working capital and cash, cash equivalents, short-term bank deposits and marketable securities, was due to a $4.3 million cash dividend declared and paid in July 2005.

        In February 2006 we completed our initial public offering with gross proceeds of $18.8 million. We believe that our cash balances and cash generated from operations and the proceeds of that offering will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for at least the next 24 months.

        Net Cash Provided By Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $2.2 million, $2.9 million and $4.3 million for 2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively. The change in net cash provided by operating activities reflects the growth in revenues, including those deferred in 2004 and 2005.

        Net Cash provided By (Used In) Investing Activities. Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities was $(1.6) million, $0.3 million and $(1.4) million in 2003, 2004 and 2005, resulting mainly from short-term and long-term investment of cash. Capital expenditures were minor and consisted primarily of computer purchases.

        Net Cash Used In Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities was $1.1 million in 2004 and $4.8 million in 2005, resulting from the payment of dividends to our shareholders. No cash was provided by or used in financing activities in 2003.

32



C. RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, PATENTS AND LICENSES, ETC.

        Our research and development activities are conducted internally by our Chief Technology Officer and a 31-person research and development staff. Our research and development efforts are focused on the development of upgraded software, new features and new products.

        Our research and development expenditures were $1.3 million, $1.3 million and $2.0 million in the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively. We expect our expenditures on research and development to increase as we develop additional products.

D. TREND INFORMATION

        Sales. Total sales have increased year-to-year by approximately 20% in the last three years, while deferred revenues have grown from zero to $3.3 million as of December 31, 2005. As the initial subscription cycles are completed, the recognition of previously deferred revenues should cause more rapid growth in recognized revenues. In addition, until recently, our sales have been seasonal, with the strongest sales in the fourth and first quarters due to pre-holiday and post-holiday sales. With the completion of the initial subscription cycles and the recognition of revenues previously deferred on a linear basis, this seasonality is expected to taper off. We believe subscription products and services are more profitable than those sold for a one-time-fee, and our marketing efforts have therefore emphasized them.

        R&D. R&D expenses have increased over the last few years and we expect this trend to continue as we devote increasing resources to research and develop new products.

        Sales and Marketing Expenses. Our sales and marketing expenses have increased as percentage of sales in 2005. We expect this to continue to increase as a result of expansion of our marketing efforts, including the opening of our US office in 2006.

        General and Administrative expenses. G&A has increased over the last few years, although remaining stable as a percentage of sales. As a result of both our continuing growth and our becoming a public company, we currently expect our G&A to continue to increase nominally.

E. OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

        We do not have off-balance sheet arrangements (as such term is defined by applicable SEC regulations) that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial conditions, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

This amount does not include expenses we incurred for other payments, including dues for professional and business associations, business travel and other expenses, and other benefits commonly reimbursed or paid by companies in Israel. We did not pay our officers who also serve as directors any separate compensation for their directorship during 2005, other than reimbursements for travel expenses.

        The aggregate direct compensation we paid to our directors who are not officers for their services as directors as a group (two of the four directors who served during 2005) for the year ended December 31, 2005 was approximately $12,000. Directors are also reimbursed for expenses incurred in order to attend board or committee meetings.

C. BOARD PRACTICES

Board of Directors and Executive Officers

        We are deemed a “limited liability public company” under the Israeli Companies Law. As a limited liability public company, we are managed by a board of directors and by our executive officers. Under the Companies Law and our articles of association, the board of directors is responsible, among other things, for:

  establishing our policies and overseeing the performance and activities of our chief executive officer;

  convening shareholders' meetings;

  preparing and approving our financial statements;

  determining our plans of action, principles for funding them and the priorities among them, our organizational structure and wage policy and examining our financial status;

  issuing securities and distributing dividends.

        Our board of directors also appoints and may remove our chief executive officer and may appoint or remove other executive officers, subject to any rights that the executive officers may have under employment agreements.

        Upon the closing of our initial public offering, all previously existing special rights to appoint or serve as directors had terminated and our articles of association were amended to remove these special rights.

        Our board of directors consists of seven directors, two of whom qualify as “external directors” for Israeli law purposes and four of whom, we believe, qualify as “independent” for Nasdaq Stock Market Purposes. Other than external directors, who are subject to special election requirements under Israeli law, our directors will be elected in three staggered classes by the vote of a majority of the ordinary shares present and entitled to vote. The directors of only one class will be elected at each annual meeting for a three-year term, so that the regular term of only one class of directors expires annually. At our annual general meeting to be held in 2006, the term of the first class, consisting of Tamar Gottlieb and Yaron Adler, will expire, and the directors elected at that meeting will be elected for a three-year term. At our annual general meeting to be held in 2007, the term of the second class, consisting of Ofer Adler and Yair M. Zadik, will expire and the directors elected at that meeting will be elected for a three-year term. At our annual general meeting to be held in 2008, the term of the third class, consisting of Gittit Guberman, will expire and the director elected at that meeting will be elected for a three-year term. The external directors will not be assigned a class.

        If the number of directors constituting the board is changed, any increase or decrease shall be apportioned among the classes so as to maintain the number of directors in each class as nearly equal as possible, but in no case will a decrease in the number of directors constituting the board shorten the term of any incumbent director.

        The board may appoint any other person as a director, whether to fill a vacancy or as an addition to the then current number of directors, provided that the total number of directors shall not at any time exceed seven directors. Any director so appointed shall hold office until the annual general meeting of our shareholders at which the term of his or her class expires, unless otherwise stated in the appointing resolution.

        There is no limitation on the number of terms that a director (other than an external director) may serve. As described below, external directors may serve only a maximum of two terms of three years each.

        Nominations for the election of directors may be made by our board of directors in view of the recommendation of the nominating and governance committee or, subject to the Companies Law, by any of our shareholders. However, any shareholder or shareholders holding at least 5% of the voting rights in our issued share capital may nominate one or more persons for election as directors at a general meeting only if a written notice of such shareholder’s intent to make such nomination or nominations has been given to our secretary and each such notice sets forth all the details and information as required to be provided under our articles of association.

        Shareholders may remove a director who is not an external director from office only by a resolution approved by shareholders holding more than two-thirds of the voting power of the issued and outstanding share capital of IncrediMail.

37



        The board of directors appoints its chairperson from among its members in accordance with our articles of association and subject to the provisions of the Companies Law. Pursuant and subject to our articles of association, the chairperson convenes and presides over the meetings of the board. The quorum required for meetings of the board is a majority of the members of the board who are lawfully entitled to participate and vote at the meeting, and resolutions are approved by a vote of the majority of the members present. If the board of directors meeting is adjourned for failure to obtain a quorum and at the adjourned meeting a quorum is not present, then the quorum shall be constituted by the presence of two directors then in office who are lawfully entitled to participate and vote at that meeting. A director may appoint an alternate director to attend a meeting in his or her place, but an alternate director so appointed must be approved by the board prior to the relevant meeting.

        Pursuant to the requirements of the Companies Law, our board has determined that at least one of our directors must have accounting and financial expertise (in addition to the external director that must have accounting and finance expertise). In determining such number of directors, the board considered, among other things, the business of our company, our size and the scope and complexity of our operations. Such determination also took into account our total number of directors as set forth in the articles of association in accordance with the Companies Law.

        We have agreed to permit a designee of Maxim Group, the lead underwriter of our initial public offering, for a period of no less than three years and subject to certain exceptions, to be an observer to our board of directors. The observer may attend meetings of the board and shall receive all notices and other correspondence and communications sent by us to members of our board of directors. Such observer shall be entitled to reimbursement for costs as provided to the other members of our board of directors. Maxim Group has not yet designated an observer.

        Each of our executive officers serves at the discretion of our board of directors and holds office until his or her successor is elected or his or her earlier resignation or removal.

External Directors

        Under the Companies Law, Israeli companies whose shares have been offered to the public in or outside of Israel are required to appoint at least two external directors to serve on their board of directors. We were required to elect the external directors by a special meeting of our shareholders held within three months of the date we closed our initial public offering. Accordingly, we held a special meeting of our shareholders on March 30, 2006 and elected Elisabeth DeMarse and James H. Lee as our external directors.

        Each committee of the board of directors entitled to exercise any powers of the board is required to include at least one external director. The audit committee must include all the external directors.

        An amendment to the Companies Law in January 2006 provides that a person may be appointed as an external director if he or she has professional qualifications or if he or she has accounting and financial expertise. In addition, at least one of the external directors must have financial expertise. A person may not serve as an external director if at the date of his or her appointment or within the prior two years, that person, or his or her relatives, partners, employers or entities under his or her control, have or had any affiliation with us or any entity or person controlling us at the time of appointment or an entity that is controlled, at the time of appointment or the prior two years, by us or by the person or entity controlling us. Under the Companies Law, “affiliation” is defined in this context to include an employment relationship, a business or professional relationship maintained on a regular basis, control or service as an office holder. However, the service of a director who was appointed for the purpose of being an external director in a company that intends to first offer its shares to the public is not considered a prohibited affiliation. An office holder is defined in the Companies Law as any director, general manager, chief business manager, deputy general manager, vice general manager, other manager directly subordinate to the general manager or any other person assuming the responsibilities of any of these positions regardless of that person’s title.

        A person may not serve as an external director if that person’s position or other activities create, or may create, a conflict of interest with the person’s service as a director or may otherwise interfere with the person’s ability to serve as a director. If at the time any external director is appointed, all members of the board are the same gender, then the external director to be appointed must be of the other gender.

        External directors are elected by a majority vote at a shareholders’ meeting, as long as either:

  the majority of shares voted for the election includes at least one-third of the shares of non-controlling shareholders voted at the meeting (excluding abstaining votes); or

  the total number of shares of non-controlling shareholders voted against the election of the external director does not exceed one percent of the aggregate voting rights in the company.

38



        The Companies Law provides for an initial three-year term for an external director, which may be extended for one additional three-year term. External directors may be removed only:

  by a court, and then only if

  - the external directors cease to meet the statutory qualifications for their appointment;

  - they violate their duty of loyalty to the company;

  - the director is unable to perform his or her post on a regular basis; or

  - during his or her tenure, the director was convicted in a court outside of the State of Israel on accounts of bribery, deceit, offenses by managers of a corporate body or offenses involving misuse of inside information; or

  If the board of directors determines that the external director has ceased to meet the statutory qualification for appointment or that the external director has violated his or her duty of loyalty to the company, the board shall call a general meeting of the shareholders and any such external director may be removed for such reason(s) by a resolution of the general meeting approved by the same special majority as required for such external director’s election.

        In the event of a vacancy created by an external director, our board of directors is required under the Companies Law to call a shareholders’ meeting to appoint a new external director as soon as practicable.

        External directors may be compensated only in accordance with regulations adopted under the Companies Law. The regulations provide three alternatives for cash compensation to external directors: a fixed amount determined by the regulations, an amount within a range set in the regulations, or an amount that shall not be lower than the compensation received by another director nor higher than the average compensation to other directors. “Another” or “other” directors are defined in the applicable regulations as directors of the company that are not external directors and who are not (1) controlling shareholders of the company or (2) employees or service providers of the company on a regular basis or (3) serving at, or providing services on a regular basis, to a company that controls the company or to a company that is under common control with the company or (4) directors who do not receive compensation from the company. A company also may issue shares or options to an external director at an amount not lower than that received by another director (as defined in the applicable regulations) nor higher than the average amount granted to other directors (as defined in the applicable regulations). Cash compensation at the fixed amount determined by the regulations does not require shareholder approval. Compensation determined in any other manner requires the approval of the company’s audit committee, board of directors and shareholders. Compensation of external directors must be determined prior to their consent to serve as an external director.

Nasdaq Market Governance Requirements for Foreign Private Issuers

        Assuming that we maintain our status as a foreign private issuer, under the Nasdaq Market rules, a foreign private issuer may generally follow its home country rules of corporate governance except for certain matters such as composition of the audit committee (as discussed below). For U.S. domestic companies, Nasdaq Capital Market rules specify that the board of directors must contain a majority of independent directors by 12 months from the date of its initial public offering and that the independent directors must have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present. Our board contains a majority of independent directors although our independent directors do not meet separately since such meetings are not required by Israeli law. See “Item 10.B Memorandum and Articles of Association – Approval of Related Party Transactions” for a discussion of the requirements of Israeli law regarding special approvals for transactions involving directors, officers or controlling shareholders. Investors are cautioned that there are other Nasdaq governance requirements with which, as a foreign private issuer, we may elect not to comply.

Committees of the Board of Directors

        Our board of directors has established an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating and governance committee.

Audit Committee

        Our audit committee is comprised of Elisabeth DeMarse, James H. Lee, Yair M. Zadik and Gittit Guberman and operates pursuant to a written charter.

        Under the listing requirements of the Nasdaq Market, a foreign private issuer is required to maintain an audit committee that has certain responsibilities and authority (such as being directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the work of the issuer’s public accountants), and whose members meet the independence requirements under the Exchange Act.

39



        Under the Companies Law, the board of directors of a public company must establish an audit committee. The audit committee must consist of at least three directors and must include all of the external directors. The audit committee may not include the chairman of the board, any director employed by the company or providing services to the company on an ongoing basis, a controlling shareholder or any of the controlling shareholder’s relatives.

        The composition and functions of the audit committee meet the requirements of the Companies Law, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the Nasdaq Market rules as they apply to foreign private issuers. Gittit Guberman, who is a member of our audit committee, has served as a consultant in the capacity of our Chief Financial Officer and has participated in the preparation of our financial statements during the past three years. Therefore, our audit committee does not meet the requirements of the Nasdaq Market rules as they apply to domestic issuers.

        The audit committee provides assistance to the board of directors in fulfilling its legal and fiduciary obligations in matters involving our accounting, auditing, financial reporting, internal control and legal compliance functions by approving the services performed by our independent accountants and reviewing their reports regarding our accounting practices and systems of internal accounting controls. The audit committee also oversees the audit efforts of our independent accountants and takes those actions as it deems necessary to satisfy itself that the accountants are independent of management. Under the Companies Law, the audit committee is also required to monitor and approve remedial actions with respect to deficiencies in the administration of the company, including by consulting with the internal auditor and recommend remedial actions with respect to such deficiencies, and to review and approve related party transactions.

Compensation Committee

        Our compensation committee is comprised of James H. Lee, Tamar Gottlieb and Yair M. Zadik, and operates pursuant to a written charter. The composition and functions of the compensation committee meet the requirements of the Nasdaq Market rules for U.S. domestic issuers, with which we comply voluntarily. The compensation committee will make recommendations to the board of directors regarding the issuance of employee share options under our share option and benefit plans and will determine salaries and bonuses for our chief executive officer and our other executive officers and incentive compensation for our other employees.

Nominating and Governance Committee

        Our nominating and governance committee is comprised of Tamar Gottlieb and Yair M. Zadik, and operates pursuant to a written charter. It is responsible for making recommendations to the board of directors regarding candidates for directorships and the size and composition of the board. In addition, the committee is responsible for overseeing our corporate governance guidelines and reporting and making recommendations to the board concerning corporate governance matters. The composition and function of our nominating and governance committee meet the requirements of the rules of the Nasdaq Market for U.S. domestic issuers, with which we comply voluntarily.

Internal Auditor

        Under the Companies Law, the board of directors of a public company must appoint an internal auditor nominated by the audit committee. The role of the internal auditor is to examine whether a company’s actions comply with the law and proper business procedure. The internal auditor may be an employee of the company employed specifically to perform internal audit functions but may not be an interested party or office holder, or a relative of any interested party or office holder, and may not be a member of the company’s independent accounting firm or its representative. The Companies Law defines an interested party as a holder of 5% or more of the shares or voting rights of a company, any person or entity that has the right to nominate or appoint at least one director or the general manager of the company or any person who serves as a director or as the general manager of a company. The internal auditor shall not be terminated without his or her consent, nor shall he or she be suspended from such position unless the board of directors has so resolved after hearing the opinion of the audit committee and after giving him or her opportunity to present his or her case to the board and to the audit committee. We expect to appoint an internal auditor meeting the requirements of the Companies Law in the near future.

Employment Agreements

        We have entered into employment agreements, effective February 3, 2006, with our co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, Yaron Adler, and our co-founder and Chief Product Officer, Ofer Adler, to retain their continuing services. The employment agreements do not provide for a specified term and may be terminated by either party upon ninety days’ prior notice, except that the executives may not terminate their agreements prior to the second anniversary of the closing of our initial public offering. Upon termination by us of the employment of either of these executives other than for “cause” (as set forth in the agreements), we are required to continue to pay the terminated executive his salary, benefits and bonus until the end of the 90 day notice period. However, we will have the option to pay the terminated executive a lump sum equal to all amounts due as of the notice date. As required by Israeli law, we will also remit severance payment to the terminated executive in an amount equal to one month’s salary for each year of employment with us. Such amount of severance payment will be remitted to the executives even if they voluntarily terminate their employment with us. In the event that we terminate either of Messrs. Adlers’ employment for “cause,” we will not be required to give prior notice and/or to pay the executive severance payment, except for payment required by Israeli law. In the event that the executive resigns without giving the required notice period, we may deduct from the money that we owe the executive an amount equal to the wages to which he would have been entitled had he worked during the notice period.

        Both Yaron Adler and Ofer Adler have agreed not to compete with us during the term of the agreement and for a period of two years thereafter. The agreements also contain customary confidentiality and intellectual property provisions.

        We have granted Mr. Kaufman options to purchase 57,000 of our ordinary shares at an exercise price per share of $7.5. The options were granted under our 2003 Option Plan and will vest 40% on the first anniversary of Mr. Kaufman’s employment with the Company and 30% on each of the next two anniversaries. However, if Mr. Kaufman’s employment is terminated by us prior to the first vesting date other than for “cause” (as set forth in the agreement), then 40% of the options shall immediately vest.

        The employment agreement with Mr. Kaufman does not provide for a specified term and may be terminated by either party upon 60 days’ prior notice. Mr. Kaufman will be entitled to a termination payment equal to twice his last month’s salary in the event that his employment is terminated by us other than for “cause” and prior to the second anniversary of his employment with the Company. Upon termination by us of the employment of Mr. Kaufman other than for “cause,” we are required to continue to pay the terminated executive his salary and benefits until the end of the 60 day notice period. However, we will have the option to pay the terminated executive a lump sum equal to all amounts due as of the notice date. As required by Israeli law, we will also remit severance payment to the terminated executive in an amount equal to one month’s salary for each year of employment with us. Such amount of severance payment will be remitted to the executive even if he voluntarily terminates his employment with us. In the event that we terminate Mr. Kaufman’s employment for “cause,” we will not be required to give prior notice or to pay the executive severance payment, except for payment required by Israeli law. In the event that the executive resigns without giving the required notice period, we may deduct from the money that we owe him an amount equal to the wages to which he would have been entitled had he worked during the notice period. 

        Mr. Kaufman has agreed not to compete with us during the term of the agreement and for a period of two years thereafter. The agreement also contains customary confidentiality and intellectual property protection provisions.

        We also have existing employment agreements with our other executive officers. These agreements do not contain any change of control provisions and otherwise contain salary, benefit and noncompetition provisions that we believe to be customary in our industry.

D. EMPLOYEES

        As of March 28, 2006 we had 68 employees, all of whom were based in Israel. The breakdown of our employees by department and fiscal period is as follows:

December 31,
2003
2004
2005
 
Management and administration      3    3    6  
Support and creative    14    18    19  
Research and development    18    20    30  
Selling and marketing    2    2    7  



   Total    37    43    62  




41



        Some provisions of the collective bargaining agreement between the Histadrut, which is the General Federation of Labor in Israel, and the Coordination Bureau of Economic Organizations, including the Industrialist’s Association of Israel, apply to our Israeli employees by virtue of extension orders of the Israeli Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor. These provisions concern the length of the workday and the work-week, recuperation pay and commuting expenses, compensation for working on the day before and after a holiday and payments to pension funds. Furthermore, these provisions provide that the wages of most of our employees are adjusted automatically. The amount and frequency of these adjustments are modified from time to time. In addition, Israeli law determines minimum wages for workers, minimum paid leave or vacation, sick leave, working hours and days of rest, insurance for work-related accidents, determination of severance pay, the duty to give notice of dismissal or resignation and other conditions of employment. In addition, certain laws prohibit or limit the employer’s ability to dismiss its employees in special circumstances. We have never experienced a work stoppage, and we believe our relations with our employees are good.

        Israeli law generally requires the payment of severance by employers upon the retirement or death of an employee or termination of employment. We currently fund most of our ongoing severance obligations through insurance policies. As of December 31, 2005, our net accrued unfunded severance obligations totaled $0.1 million. Furthermore, Israeli employees and employers are required to pay predetermined sums to the National Insurance Institute. These amounts also include payments for national health insurance. The payments to the National Insurance Institute can equal up to approximately 16.0% of wages, of which the employee contributes approximately 10.0% and the employer contributes approximately 6.0%.

E. SHARE OWNERSHIP

Security Ownership of Directors and Executive Officers

        The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our ordinary shares as of March 28, 2006 by:

  each of our executive officers;

  each of our directors; and

  all of our directors and officers as a group.

        Beneficial ownership of shares is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and generally includes any shares over which a person exercises sole or shared voting or investment power. Ordinary shares that are subject to warrants or stock options that are presently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of a specified date are deemed to be outstanding and beneficially owned by the person holding the stock options for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of any other person.

        Except as indicated in the footnotes to this table, each shareholder in the table has sole voting and investment power for the shares shown as beneficially owned by them. Percentage ownership is based on 9,381,668 ordinary shares outstanding on March 28, 2006.

(1) Yaron Adler disclaims beneficial ownership of an additional 79,800 ordinary shares owned by an initial shareholder of our company, due to an irrevocable proxy of the shareholder that instructs the proxy holder to vote such ordinary shares in accordance with the vote of Yaron Adler.

(2) Ofer Adler disclaims beneficial ownership of an additional 100,700 ordinary shares owned by an initial shareholder of our company, due to an irrevocable proxy of the shareholder that instructs the proxy holder to vote such ordinary shares in accordance with the vote of Ofer Adler.

(6) Includes options to purchase 39,520 Ordinary Shares at an exercise price of $1.72 per share, exercisable within 60 days of March 28, 2006.

Employee Benefit Plans

        We maintain two equity incentive plans, each adopted under Section 102 of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance. In 1999, we adopted our first share option plan, which we refer to herein as the 1999 Plan. In 2003, we adopted a new plan, which we refer to herein as the 2003 Plan. Both the 1999 Plan and the 2003 Plan are qualified under Section 102 of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance, which provides certain tax benefits in connection with share-based compensation. Please also see Note 9 of our financial statements included in this annual report for information on the options issued under our plans.

The 1999 Plan

        Under the 1999 Plan, we were permitted to grant to our employees options to purchase our ordinary shares. A total of 627,000 ordinary shares were subject to the plan. Options granted under the plan to eligible employees have been granted under Section 102 of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance (as was in effect in 1999). Options under the plan were issued to a trustee who holds the options on behalf of individual employees. Under certain conditions, among them that a trustee holds the options or, upon exercise, the underlying shares, for at least two years, an employee may defer recognition of capital gains until the earlier of (i) the transfer of the option or underlying shares from the trustee to the employee or (ii) the sale of the option or underlying shares to any other third party. Once the options or the underlying shares are transferred by the trustee or sold, the employee is subject to tax according to the employee’s marginal tax rate.

        Our board of directors has the authority to administer this plan and may also delegate authority to a compensation committee.

        All options granted pursuant to the 1999 Plan have either expired or were exercised into ordinary shares, all of which are being held by the trustee in accordance with the 1999 Plan. We have ceased granting options under the 1999 Plan since approval of the 2003 Plan.

The 2003 Plan

        Under the 2003 Plan, we may grant to our directors, officers, employees, service providers and controlling shareholders options to purchase our ordinary shares. Following an increase in the number of shares available for grant approved by our board of directors and shareholders in November 2005, a total of 1,368,000 ordinary shares are subject to the 2003 Plan. Any expired or cancelled options are available for reissuance under the 2003 Plan. Our employees, officers and directors may only be granted options under Section 102 of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance, which provides for a beneficial tax treatment, and our non-employees (such as service providers) and controlling shareholders may only be granted options under another section of the Tax Ordinance, which does not provide for similar tax benefits. To be eligible for tax benefits under Section 102, options or ordinary shares must be issued through a trustee, and if held by the trustee for the minimum required period, the employees and directors are entitled to defer any taxable event with respect to the options until the earlier of (i) the transfer of the options or underlying shares from the trustee to the employee or director or (ii) the sale of the options or underlying shares to any other third party. Based on elections made by us, our employees and directors will only be subject to capital gains tax of 25% on the sale of the options or the underlying shares, provided the trustee holds their options or, upon their exercise, the underlying shares for the lesser of (i) 30 months, or (ii) 24 months following the end of the calendar year in which the options were granted, and if granted after January 1, 2006, for only 24 months. We may not recognize expenses pertaining to the options for tax purposes.

43



        The tax treatment with respect to options granted to employees and directors under the 2003 Plan is the result of our election of the capital gains tax track under Section 102 of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance. Section 102 also provides for an income tax track, under which, among other things, the benefit to the employees will be taxed as income, the issuer will be allowed to recognize expenses for tax purposes, and the minimum holding period for the trustee will be 12 months from the date upon which such options are granted. We are able to change our election with respect to future grants under the 2003 Plan as of the close of 2004.

        Our board of directors has the authority to administer the 2003 Plan and to grant options under the plan. However, a compensation committee appointed by the board may provide recommendations to the board with respect to the administration of the plan and also has full power, among other things, to alter any restrictions and conditions of the options, accelerate the rights of an optionee to exercise options and determine the exercise price of the options. Following the election of our external directors, we will establish a compensation committee that will, among other things, administer the 2003 Plan pursuant to its terms.

        Options granted to date under the 2003 Plan vest over three years from the grant date so that 40% vest after 12 months and an additional 30% vest after each 12 months thereafter. Options under the 2003 Plan were generally granted at an exercise price of $1.72 per share. See “Item 6.C Board Practices – Employment Agreements” for a description of options granted under the 2003 Plan to our Chief Financial Officer and “Item 6.B Compensation” for a description options to be granted under the 2003 Plan to our directors who are not officers of our company.

        Options granted to date under the 2003 Plan generally expire within five years of the grant date unless extended as provided by the plan. Options may be exercised only if vested and provided that the holder is employed by us or provides us services continuously from the time of granting of the option until the date of exercise. However, if termination of employment is without cause, vested options may be exercised for a period of 90 days from the date of termination of employment; and if termination is the result of death or disability, vested options may be exercised for a period of 12 months after the date of termination. In addition, the board or a compensation committee may extend the exercise period of options held by employees whose employment was terminated for a period not exceeding their expiration date.

        The 2003 Plan does not provide for acceleration of the vesting period upon the occurrence of certain corporate transactions. However, the board or a compensation committee may provide in individual option agreements that if the options are not substituted or exchanged by a successor company, then the vesting of the options shall accelerate.

        Adjustments to the number of options or exercise price shall not be made in the event of rights offering on outstanding shares. Sale of the underlying shares is subject to a right of first refusal until the consummation of our initial public offering.

ITEM 7. MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

A. MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS

        The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our ordinary shares as of March 28, 2006 by each person or group of affiliated persons that we know beneficially owns more than 5% of our outstanding ordinary shares. Other than with respect to our directors and officers, we have relied on public filings with the SEC. Each shareholder’s address is c/o IncrediMail Ltd., 2 Kaufman Street, Tel Aviv, Israel.

        Beneficial ownership of shares is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and generally includes any shares over which a person exercises sole or shared voting or investment power. Ordinary shares that are subject to warrants or stock options that are presently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of a specified date are deemed to be outstanding and beneficially owned by the person holding the stock options for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of any other person.

        Except as indicated in the footnotes to this table, each shareholder in the table has sole voting and investment power for the shares shown as beneficially owned by them. Percentage ownership is based on 9,381,668 ordinary shares outstanding on March 28, 2006. Our major shareholders do not have different voting rights.

Name
Number of Ordinary
Shares Beneficially Owned

Percentage of Ordinary
Shares Outstanding

 
Yaron Adler (1)      1,360,933    14.51 %
Ofer Adler (2)    1,701,167    18.13 %


(1) Yaron Adler disclaims beneficial ownership of an additional 79,800 Ordinary Shares owned by an initial shareholder of our company, due to an irrevocable proxy of the shareholder that instructs the proxy holder to vote such ordinary shares in accordance with the vote of Yaron Adler.

(2) Ofer Adler disclaims beneficial ownership of an additional 100,700 Ordinary Shares owned by an initial shareholder of our company, due to an irrevocable proxy of the shareholder that instructs the proxy holder to vote such ordinary shares in accordance with the vote of Ofer Adler.

        To our knowledge, as of March 28, 2006, we had 33* stockholders of record of which 3* were registered with addresses in the United States. These United States holders were as of such date, the holders of record of approximately 36.6%* of our outstanding shares.


* Includes the Depository Trust Company

B. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Registration Rights

        In April 2000, holders of our preferred shares were granted “piggyback” registration rights with respect to ordinary shares issued upon conversion of their preferred shares. Therefore, we are obligated to notify these holders of any registration statement that we plan to file (except for registration statements relating to employee benefit plans or under Rule 145 of the Securities Act) and, if requested, to include their shares in the registration statement. If the registration is for an underwritten offering of our ordinary shares, and the managing underwriter determines that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the ordinary shares to be included in that underwritten offering shall be apportioned first to us. In addition, our board of directors has the right not to permit registration of our shareholders’ shares if it determines in good faith that the registration would be detrimental to us.

        Subsequent to a registration in which a shareholder entitled to the above registration rights could have participated, the registration rights shall expire as to this shareholder when he, she or it has sold in the aggregate not less than 90% of the shares with respect to which the shareholder was entitled to these registration rights as of the date granted.

45



        In connection with our recently completed initial public offering, substantially all of our shareholders have waived their rights, or we have otherwise effectively precluded our shareholders’ rights, to participate in the initial public offering except to the extent of their participation, if any, in the underwriters’ overallotment option. In addition, the shareholders who have executed “lock-up” agreements in connection with the initial public offering have agreed not to exercise any “piggyback” rights they may have for a period of 12 months from the closing of the initial public offering.

        On February 3, 2006, we issued Maxim Group, the lead underwriter of our initial public offering a purchase option to purchase 175,000 ordinary shares. The purchase option is exercisable at an exercise price of $9.375 per share (125% of the initial public offering price per share) commencing one year from its date of grant and expiring five years from the date of grant. The purchase option and the ordinary shares underlying the purchase option may not be sold or otherwise transferred for a period of one year from the date of grant. The purchase option grants to holders certain demand and “piggy back” rights for five years from the grant date with respect to the registration under the Securities Act of the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the purchase option. We will bear the fees and expenses attendant to one demand registration and any piggyback registration right and the holders will bear the fees and expenses attendant to one additional demand registration, other than in all cases, that underwriting commissions will be paid by the holders themselves.

Other

        It is our policy that transactions with office holders or transactions in which an office holder has a personal interest (“Affiliated Transactions”) will be on terms that, on the whole, are no less favorable to us than could be obtained from independent parties.

        Generally, Affiliated Transactions which are “extraordinary transactions” (as such term is defined in the Companies Law), must be approved by a majority of our disinterested directors; nevertheless under Israeli law, under certain circumstances, such transactions (i) must be approved by the audit committee and the board of directors and, in certain circumstances, the shareholders; or (ii) may be approved by a simple majority of the board (and by a simple majority of the audit committee if required), and interested directors may participate in the deliberations and the voting with respect to such transactions if the majority of the members of the board (or the audit committee, if such approval is required) have a personal interest in the approval of the transaction; provided that in such circumstances the approval of such Affiliated Transaction shall also require the approval of the shareholders.

        See “Item 10.B Memorandum and Articles of Association – Approval of Related Party Transactions” for a discussion of the requirements of Israeli law regarding special approvals for transactions involving directors, officers or controlling shareholders.

        Our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 are included in this annual report pursuant to Item 18.

Legal Proceedings

        We are not currently subject to any legal proceedings or litigation. In 2002 and again in 2004, a third party had contacted us to demand that we remove certain “Smiley” graphics from our website, claiming that he had registered a trademark with respect to these graphics and that our use infringed his rights. We believe this claim to be without any merit and intend to vigorously defend any suit filed against us in this matter. We may, from time to time in the future be involved in legal proceedings.

Policy on Dividend Distribution

        We distributed cash dividends of $1,100,000 in March 2004 and $4,295,000 in July 2005, respectively, to our shareholders. We do not expect to pay cash dividends for the foreseeable future. We intend to reinvest any future earnings in developing and expanding our business. We have decided to reinvest the amount of tax-exempt income derived from our “Approved Enterprise” status and not to distribute that income as dividends.

46



        The distribution of dividends also may be limited by Israeli law, which permits the distribution of dividends only out of profits. See “Item 10.B Memorandum and Articles of Association – Dividend and Liquidation Rights.” In addition, the payment of dividends may be subject to Israeli withholding taxes. See “Item 10.E Taxation – Israeli Taxation –Taxation of our Shareholders–Taxation of Non-Israeli Shareholders on Receipt of Dividends.”

B. SIGNIFICANT CHANGES

        Since the date of our audited financial statements included elsewhere in this report, on February 3, 2006, we completed the initial public offering of our ordinary shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market, whereby we issued and sold 2,500,000 of our ordinary shares at a price per share of $7.50. Certain selling shareholders also sold 375,000 of our ordinary shares at the same price upon exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option. Immediately prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement relating to the initial public offering, we increased our authorized share capital to 15 million ordinary shares and completed a 38-for-one ordinary share split effected as a dividend on our ordinary shares. In addition, upon the closing of the initial public offering, all of our outstanding redeemable convertible preferred shares were automatically converted, on a 38-for-one basis, into 1,764,948 ordinary shares. On February 3, 2006, we granted the underwriters of the initial public offering an option to purchase 175,000 of our ordinary shares at a price per share of $9.375. The option will expire five years following the grant date.

ITEM 10. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

A. SHARE CAPITAL

  Not applicable.

B. MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

Registration Number and Purposes

        Our registration number with the Israeli Companies Registrar is 51-284949-8. Pursuant to Section 3 of our articles of association, our objectives are the development, manufacture and marketing of software and any other objective as determined by our board of directors.

Dividend and Liquidation Rights

        The holders of the ordinary shares are entitled to their proportionate share of any cash dividend, share dividend or dividend in kind declared with respect to our ordinary shares on or after the date of this annual report. We may declare dividends out of profits legally available for distribution. Under the Companies Law, a company may distribute a dividend only if the distribution does not create a reasonable risk that the company will be unable to meet its existing and anticipated obligations as they become due. A company may only distribute a dividend out of the company’s profits, as defined under the Companies Law. If the company does not meet the profit requirement, a court may allow it to distribute a dividend, as long as the court is convinced that there is no reasonable risk that such distribution might prevent the company from being able to meet its existing and anticipated obligations as they become due.

        Under the Companies Law, the declaration of a dividend does not require the approval of the shareholders of a company unless the company’s articles of association provide otherwise. Our articles of association provide that the board of directors may declare and distribute dividends without the approval of the shareholders. In the event of our liquidation, holders of our ordinary shares have the right to share ratably in any assets remaining after payment of liabilities, in proportion to the paid-up par value of their respective holdings.

        These rights may be affected by the grant of preferential liquidation or dividend rights to the holders of a class of shares that may be authorized in the future.

Voting, Shareholder Meetings and Resolutions

        Holders of ordinary shares have one vote for each ordinary share held on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders. This right may be changed if shares with special voting rights are authorized in the future.

        Our articles of association and the laws of the State of Israel do not restrict the ownership or voting of ordinary shares by non-residents of Israel, except with respect to citizens of countries that are in a state of war with Israel.

        Under the Companies Law, an annual general meeting of our shareholders should be held once every calendar year, but no later than 15 months from the date of the previous annual general meeting. The quorum required for a general meeting of shareholders consists of at least two shareholders present in person or by proxy holding in the aggregate at least 33 1/3% of the voting power. A meeting adjourned for lack of a quorum generally is adjourned to the same day in the following week at the same time and place or any time and place as the chairperson of the board of directors designates in a notice to the shareholders with the consent of the holders of the majority voting power represented at the meeting voting on the question of adjournment. In the event of a lack of quorum in a meeting convened upon the request of shareholders, the meeting shall be dissolved. At the reconvened meeting, the required quorum consists of any number of shareholders present in person or by proxy.

        Our board of directors may, in its discretion, convene additional meetings as “special general meetings.” In addition, the board must convene a special general meeting upon the demand of two of the directors, one fourth of the nominated directors, one or more shareholders having at least 5% of outstanding share capital and at least 1% of the voting power in the company, or one or more shareholders having at least 5% of the voting power in the company. The chairperson of the board of directors presides at each of our general meetings. The chairperson of the board of directors is not entitled to a vote at a general meeting in his capacity as chairperson.

48



        Most shareholders’ resolutions, including resolutions to:

  amend our articles of association (except as set forth below);

  make changes in our capital structure such as a reduction of capital, increase of capital or share split, merger or consolidation;

  authorize a new class of shares;

  elect directors, other than external directors;

  appoint auditors; or

  approve most transactions with office holders;

will be deemed adopted if approved by the holders of a majority of the voting power represented at a shareholders’ meeting, in person or by proxy, and voting on that resolution. Except as set forth in the following sentence none of these actions require the approval of a special majority. Amendments to our articles of association relating to the election and vacation of office of directors, the composition and size of the board of directors and the insurance indemnification and release in advance of the company’s office holders with respect to certain liabilities incurred by them require the approval at a general meeting of shareholders holding more than two-thirds of the voting power of the issued and outstanding share capital of the company.

Notices

        Under the Companies Law, shareholders’ meetings require prior notice of at least 21 days.

Modification of Class Rights

        The Companies Law provides that, unless otherwise provided by the articles of association, the rights of a particular class of shares may not be adversely modified without the vote of a majority of the affected class at a separate class meeting.

Election of Directors

        Our ordinary shares do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. Therefore, the holders of ordinary shares representing more than 50% of the voting power at the general meeting of the shareholders, in person or by proxy, have the power to elect all of the directors whose positions are being filled at that meeting, to the exclusion of the remaining shareholders. External directors are elected by a majority vote at a shareholders’ meeting, provided that either:

  the majority of shares voted for the election includes at least one-third of the shares of non-controlling shareholders voted at the meeting (excluding abstaining votes); or

  the total number of shares of non-controlling shareholders voted against the election of the external director does not exceed one percent of the aggregate voting rights in the company.

        See “Item 6.C Board Practices” regarding our staggered board.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

        American Stock Transfer and Trust Company is the transfer agent and registrar for our ordinary shares.

Approval of Related Party Transactions

Office Holders

        The Companies Law codifies the fiduciary duties that office holders owe to a company. An office holder is defined in the Companies Law as any director, general manager, chief business manager, deputy general manager, vice general manager, other manager directly subordinate to the general manager or any other person assuming the responsibilities of any of these positions regardless of that person’s title. Each person listed in the table under “Management – Executive Officers and Directors” is an office holder under the Companies Law.

49



        Fiduciary duties. An office holder’s fiduciary duties consist of a duty of loyalty and a duty of care. The duty of loyalty requires the office holder to act in good faith and to the benefit of the company, to avoid any conflict of interest between the office holder’s position in the company and any other of his or her positions or personal affairs, and to avoid any competition with the company or the exploitation of any business opportunity of the company in order to receive personal advantage for himself or others. This duty also requires him or her to reveal to the company any information or documents relating to the company’s affairs that the office holder has received due to his or her position as an office holder. The duty of care requires an office holder to act with a level of care that a reasonable office holder in the same position would employ under the same circumstances. This includes the duty to use reasonable means to obtain information regarding the advisability of a given action submitted for his or her approval or performed by virtue of his or her position and all other relevant information pertaining to these actions.

        Compensation. Under the Companies Law, all compensation arrangements for office holders who are not directors require approval of the board of directors, unless the articles of association provide otherwise. Our compensation committee will be required to approve the compensation of all office holders. Arrangements regarding the compensation of directors (including officers who are also directors) require audit committee, board and shareholder approval.

        Disclosure of personal interest. The Companies Law requires that an office holder promptly disclose to the company any personal interest that he or she may have and all related material information known to him or her, in connection with any existing or proposed transaction by the company. “Personal interest”, as defined by the Companies Law, includes a personal interest of any person in an act or transaction of the company, including a personal interest of his relative or of a corporate body in which that person or a relative of that person is a 5% or greater shareholder, a holder of 5% or more of a company’s outstanding shares or voting rights, a director or general manager, or in which he or she has the right to appoint at least one director or the general manager. “Personal interest” does not apply to a personal interest stemming merely from the fact that the office holder is also a shareholder in the company.

        The office holder must make the disclosure of his personal interest without delay and no later than the first meeting of the company’s board of directors that discusses the particular transaction. This duty does not apply to the personal interest of a relative of the office holder in a transaction unless it is an “extraordinary transaction”. The Companies Law defines an extraordinary transaction as a transaction not in the ordinary course of business, not on market terms or that is likely to have a material impact on the company’s profitability, assets or liabilities, and defines a relative as a spouse, sibling, parent, grandparent, descendent, spouse’s descendant and the spouse of any of the foregoing.

        Approvals. The Companies Law provides that a transaction with an office holder or a transaction in which an office holder has a personal interest may not be approved if it is adverse to the company’s interest. In addition, such a transaction generally requires board approval, unless the transaction is an extraordinary transaction or the articles of association provide otherwise. If the transaction is an extraordinary transaction, or if it concerns exculpation, indemnification or insurance of an office holder, then in addition to any approval stipulated by the articles of association, approval of the company’s audit committee and the board of directors is required. Exculpation, indemnification, insurance or compensation of a director also would require shareholder approval. A director who has a personal interest in a matter that is considered at a meeting of the board of directors or the audit committee may not attend that meeting or vote on that matter, unless a majority of the board of directors or the audit committee also has a personal interest in the matter. If a majority of the board of directors or the audit committee has a personal interest in the transaction, shareholder approval is also required.

Shareholders

        The Companies Law imposes the same disclosure requirements, as described above, on a controlling shareholder of a public company that it imposes on an office holder. For these purposes, a controlling shareholder is any shareholder that has the ability to direct the company’s actions, including any shareholder holding 25% or more of the voting rights if no other shareholder owns more than 50% of the voting rights in the company. Two or more shareholders with a personal interest in the approval of the same transaction are deemed to be one shareholder.

        Approval of the audit committee, the board of directors and our shareholders is required for:

  extraordinary transactions with a controlling shareholder or in which a controlling shareholder has a personal interest; and

  employment of a controlling shareholder or a relative of a controlling shareholder.

50



        The shareholder approval must include the majority of shares voted at the meeting. In addition, either:

  the majority must include at least one-third of the shares of the voting shareholders who have no personal interest in the transaction voted at the meeting (excluding abstaining votes); or

  the total shareholdings of those who have no personal interest in the transaction and who vote against the transaction must not represent more than 1% of the aggregate voting rights in the company.

        Under the Companies Law, a shareholder has a duty to act in good faith towards the company and other shareholders and to refrain from abusing his or her power in the company including, among other things, when voting in a general meeting of shareholders or in a class meeting on the following matters:

  any amendment to the articles of association;

  an increase in the company's authorized share capital;

  a merger; or

  approval of related party transactions that require shareholder approval.

        A shareholder has a general duty to refrain from depriving any other shareholder of their rights as a shareholder. In addition, any controlling shareholder, any shareholder who knows that it possesses the power to determine the outcome of a shareholder or class vote and any shareholder who, pursuant to the company’s articles of association has the power to appoint or prevent the appointment of an office holder in the company is under a duty to act with fairness towards the company. The Companies Law does not describe the substance of this duty of fairness.

Anti-Takeover Provisions; Mergers and Acquisitions

        Merger. The Companies Law permits merger transactions with the approval of each party’s board of directors and shareholders, except that when the merger involves one of the following companies, the approval of the shareholders of these companies is not required:

  an absorbed company which is under the full control and ownership of the surviving company; or

  a surviving company, if all of the following conditions are met: (i) the merger does not entail an amendment of the articles of association or memorandum of association of the surviving company, (ii) the surviving company does not issue in the course of the merger more than twenty percent of the voting rights in the company, and as a result of the share issuance no person shall become a controlling shareholder in the surviving company, and (iii) circumstances that would otherwise mandate an approval by a special majority of the shareholders (as described in the following paragraph) do not exist.

        At the general meeting of a merging company which shares are held by the other party to the merger or by any person holding at least 25% of any control measures of the other party to the merger, a merger shall not be deemed approved if the shareholders holding the majority of the voting power present at the meeting object to the merger. In calculating this majority, (i) the abstaining shareholders and (ii) shareholders that are part of the other party to the merger or hold 25% or more of any control measures of the other party to the merger are excluded. Shares held by relatives or companies controlled by a person are deemed held by that person. The term “control measures” of a company includes, among other things, voting power or means of appointing the board of directors.

        Under the Companies Law, a merging company must inform its creditors of the proposed merger. Any creditor of a party to the merger may seek a court order to delay or block the merger, if there is a reasonable concern that the surviving company will not be able to satisfy all of the obligations of the parties to the merger. Moreover, a merger may not be completed until all of the required approvals have been filed by both merging companies with the Israeli Registrar of Companies and (i) 30 days have passed from the time both companies’ shareholders resolved to approve the merger, and (ii) at least 50 days have passed from the time that the merger proposal was filed with the Israeli Registrar of Companies.

51



        Tender Offer. The Companies Law requires a purchaser to conduct a tender offer in order to purchase shares in publicly held companies, if as a result of the purchase the purchaser would hold more than 25% of the voting rights of a company in which no other shareholder holds more than 25% of the voting rights, or the purchaser would hold more than 45% of the voting rights of a company in which no other shareholder holds more than 45% of the voting rights. The requirement to conduct a tender offer shall not apply to (i) the purchase of shares in a private placement, provided that such purchase was approved by the company’s shareholders as a private placement that is intended to provide the purchaser with more than 25% of the voting rights of a company in which no other shareholder holds more than 25% of the voting rights, or with more than 45% of the voting rights of a company in which no other shareholder holds more than 45% of the voting rights; (ii) a purchase from a holder of more than 25% of the voting rights of a company that results in a person becoming a holder of more than 25% of the voting rights of a company, and (iii) a purchase from the holder of more than 45% of the voting rights of a company that results in a person becoming a holder of more than 45% of the voting rights of a company.

        Under the Companies Law, a person may not purchase shares of a public company if, following the purchase of shares, the purchaser would hold more than 90% of the company’s shares or of any class of shares unless the purchaser makes a tender offer to purchase all of the target company’s shares or all the shares of the particular class, as applicable. If, as a result of the tender offer, the purchaser would hold more than 95% of the company’s shares or a particular class of shares, the ownership of the remaining shares will be transferred to the purchaser. However, if the purchaser is unable to purchase 95% or more of the company’s shares or class of shares, the purchaser may not own more than 90% of the shares or class of shares of the target company.

        Tax Law. Israeli tax law treats some acquisitions, such as a stock-for-stock swap between an Israeli company and a foreign company, less favorably than U.S. tax law. For example, Israeli tax law may subject a shareholder who exchanges his ordinary shares for shares in a foreign corporation to immediate taxation. Please see “Item 10.E Taxation – Israeli Taxation.”

Exculpation, Indemnification and Insurance of Directors and Officers

        Our articles of association allow us to indemnify, exculpate and insure our office holders, which includes our directors, to the fullest extent permitted by the Companies Law, provided that procuring this insurance or providing this indemnification or exculpation is approved by the audit committee and the board of directors, as well as by the shareholders if the office holder is a director. Our articles of association also allow us to insure or indemnify any person who is not an office holder, including any employee, agent, consultant or contractor who is not an office holder.

        Under the Companies Law, a company may indemnify an office holder in respect of some liabilities, either in advance of an event or following an event. If a company undertakes to indemnify an office holder in advance against monetary liability incurred in his or her capacity as an office holder whether imposed in favor of another person pursuant to a judgment, a settlement or an arbitrator’s award approved by a court, the indemnification must be limited to foreseeable events in light of the company’s actual activities at the time of the indemnification undertaking and to a specific sum or a reasonable criterion under such circumstances, as determined by the board of directors. However, as described below, an undertaking to indemnify an office holder in advance of an event need not be limited with respect to reasonable litigation expenses, including attorneys’ fees.

        Under the Companies Law, only if and to the extent provided by its articles of association, a company may indemnify an office holder against the following liabilities or expenses incurred in his or her capacity as an office holder:

  any monetary liability whether imposed on him or her in favor of another person pursuant to a judgment, a settlement or an arbitrator’s award approved by a court;

  reasonable litigation expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by him or her as a result of an investigation or proceedings instituted against him or her by an authority empowered to conduct an investigation or proceedings, which are concluded either (i) without the filing of an indictment against the office holder and without the levying of a monetary obligation in lieu of criminal proceedings upon the office holder, or (ii) without the filing of an indictment against the office holder but with levying a monetary obligation in substitute of such criminal proceedings upon the office holder for a crime that does not require proof of criminal intent; and

  reasonable litigation expenses, including attorneys’ fees, in proceedings instituted against him or her by the company, on the company’s behalf or by a third-party, or in connection with criminal proceedings in which the office holder was acquitted, or as a result of a conviction for a crime that does not require proof of criminal intent.

52



        Under the Companies Law, a company may obtain insurance for an office holder against liabilities incurred in his or her capacity as an office holder, if and to the extent provided for in its articles of association. These liabilities include a breach of duty of care to the company or a third-party, a breach of duty of loyalty and any monetary liability imposed on the office holder in favor of a third-party.

        A company may, in advance only, exculpate an office holder for a breach of the duty of care. However, a company may not so exculpate an office holder for a breach of the duty of care in connection with a distribution of dividends or a repurchase of the company’s securities. A company may not exculpate an office holder from a breach of the duty of loyalty towards the company.

        Under the Companies Law, however, an Israeli company may only indemnify or insure an office holder against a breach of duty of loyalty to the extent that the office holder acted in good faith and had reasonable grounds to assume that the action would not prejudice the company. In addition, an Israeli company may not indemnify, insure or exculpate an office holder against a breach of duty of care if committed intentionally or recklessly, or an action committed with the intent to derive an unlawful personal gain, or for a fine or forfeit levied against the office holder in connection with a criminal offense.

        Our board of directors and shareholders have resolved to indemnify our directors and our Chief Financial Officer to the extent permitted by law and by our articles of association for liabilities not covered by insurance and that are of certain enumerated events, subject to an aggregate sum equal to 50.0% of the shareholders equity as set forth in the financial report of the preceding year to which a claim for indemnification is made.

C. MATERIAL CONTRACTS

        Our Agreement with PointMatch USA, Inc., dated July 29, 2003 and our Software Product Licensing and Software Game Distribution and Promotion Agreement with Oberon Media Inc., dated January 7, 2004 are described under “Item 4.B Business Overview – Collaborations.” Our OEM Agreement with Commtouch Ltd, effective December 7, 2004, is described under “Item 4.B Business Overview – Intellectual Property.” Appendix 21.1, providing for registration rights to certain of our shareholders, and the purchase option granted to the lead underwriter of our initial public offering are described under “Item 7.B Related Party Transactions – Registration Rights.” The employment agreements with our principal officers are described under “Item 6.C Board Practices – Employment Agreements.”

D. EXCHANGE CONTROLS

        Non-residents of Israel who hold our ordinary shares are able to receive any dividends, and any amounts payable upon the dissolution, liquidation and winding up of our affairs, freely repatriable in non-Israeli currency at the rate of exchange prevailing at the time of conversion. However, Israeli income tax is required to have been paid or withheld on these amounts. In addition, the statutory framework for the potential imposition of exchange controls has not been eliminated, and may be restored at any time by administrative action.

E. TAXATION

        The following is a general summary only and should not be considered as income tax advice or relied upon for tax planning purposes.

ISRAELI TAXATION

        The following description is not intended to constitute a complete analysis of all tax consequences relating to the ownership or disposition of our ordinary shares. You should consult your own tax advisor concerning the tax consequences of your particular situation, as well as any tax consequences that may arise under the laws of any state, local, foreign or other taxing jurisdiction.

        The following is a summary of the material Israeli tax laws applicable to us, and some Israeli Government programs benefiting us. This section also contains a discussion of some Israeli tax consequences to persons acquiring our ordinary shares. This summary does not discuss all the acts of Israeli tax law that may be relevant to a particular investor in light of his or her personal investment circumstances or to some types of investors subject to special treatment under Israeli law. Examples of this kind of investor include residents of Israel or traders in securities who are subject to special tax regimes not covered in this discussion. Since some parts of this discussion are based on new tax legislation that has not yet been subject to judicial or administrative interpretation, we cannot assure you that the appropriate tax authorities or the courts will accept the views expressed in this discussion.

53



        The discussion below should not be construed as legal or professional tax advice and does not cover all possible tax considerations. Potential investors are urged to consult their own tax advisors as to the Israeli or other tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our ordinary shares, including, in particular, the effect of any foreign, state or local taxes.

General Corporate Tax Structure in Israel

        Israeli companies are generally subject to corporate tax at the rate of 34% of their taxable income in 2005. The rate was 35% for 2004, and is scheduled to decline to 31% in 2006, 29% in 2007, 27% in 2008, 26% in 2009 and 25% in 2010 and thereafter. However, the effective tax rate payable by a company that derives income from an approved enterprise (as discussed below) may be considerably less. Capital gains derived after January 1, 2003 (other than gains derived from the sale of listed securities that are taxed at the prevailing corporate tax rates) are subject to tax at a rate of 25%.

Special Provisions Relating to Taxation under Inflationary Conditions

        The Income Tax Law (Inflationary Adjustments), 1985, generally referred to as the Inflationary Adjustments Law, represents an attempt to overcome the problems presented to a traditional tax system by an economy undergoing rapid inflation. The Inflationary Adjustments Law is highly complex. Its features, which are material to us, can be generally described as follows:

  Where a company’s equity, as calculated under the Inflationary Adjustments Law, exceeds the depreciated cost of its Fixed Assets (as defined in the Inflationary Adjustments Law), a deduction from taxable income is permitted equal to the excess multiplied by the applicable annual rate of inflation. The maximum deduction permitted in any single tax year is 70% of taxable income, with the unused portion permitted to be carried forward, based on the change in the consumer price index.

  If the company’s depreciated cost of Fixed Assets exceeds its equity, then the excess multiplied by the applicable annual rate of inflation is added to taxable income.

  Subject to certain limitations, depreciation deductions on Fixed Assets and losses carried forward are adjusted for inflation based on the change in the consumer price index.

        The Minister of Finance may, with the approval of the Knesset Finance Committee, determine by decree, during a certain fiscal year (or until February 28th of the following year) in which the rate of increase of the Israeli consumer price index would not exceed or did not exceed, as applicable, 3.0%, that some or all of the provisions of the Inflationary Adjustments Law shall not apply with respect to such fiscal year, or, that the rate of increase of the Israeli consumer price index relating to such fiscal year shall be deemed to be 0%, and to make the adjustments required to be made as a result of such determination.

        Since January 1, 2006, we have elected to measure our taxable income based on the changes in the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar, arther than on the basis of inflation, and the provision of this law will not be applicable to us.

Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959

        The Law for Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959 (the “Investment Law”) provides that capital investments in a production facility (or other eligible assets) may, upon approval by the Investment Center of the Israel Ministry of Industry and Trade (the “Investment Center”), be designated as an Approved Enterprise. Each certificate of approval for an Approved Enterprise relates to a specific investment program, delineated both by the financial scope of the investment and by the physical characteristics of the facility or the asset. The tax benefits from any certificate of approval relate only to taxable profits attributable to the specific Approved Enterprise.

        On April 1, 2005, a comprehensive amendment to the Investment Law came into effect. As the amended Investment Law does not retroactively apply for investments programs having an approved enterprise approval certificate issued by the Israeli Investment Center prior to December 31, 2004, our current tax benefits are subject to the provisions of the Investment Law prior to its revision, while new benefits that will be received in the future, if any, will be subject to the provisions of the Investment Law, as amended. Accordingly, the following description includes a summary of the Investment Law prior to its amendment as well as the relevant changes contained in the Investment Law, as amended.

54



        Currently we have two Approved Enterprise Programs under the Investment Law, which entitle us to certain tax benefits. The Approved Enterprise Programs granted to us are defined in the Investment Law as Alternative Benefits Programs, which allow for a two years exemption for undistributed income and reduced company tax rate of between 10% and 25% for the following five to eight years, depending on the extent of foreign (non-Israeli) investment in us during the relevant year. The tax rate will be 20% if the foreign investment level is more than 49% but less than 74%, 15% if the foreign investment level is more than 74% but less than 90%, and 10% if the foreign investment level is 90% or more. The lowest level of foreign investment during a particular year will be used to determine the relevant tax rate for that year. The period in which we receive these tax benefits may not extend beyond 14 years from the year in which approval was granted and 12 years from the year in which operations or production by the enterprise began.

        A company that has elected to participate in the alternative benefits program and that subsequently pays a dividend out of the income derived from the Approved Enterprise during the tax exemption period will be subject to corporate tax in respect of the amount distributed at the rate that would have been applicable had the company not elected the alternative benefits program (generally 10% to 25%, depending on the foreign (non-Israeli) investment in it).

        The Investment Law also provides that an Approved Enterprise is entitled to accelerated depreciation on its property and equipment that are included in an approved investment program.

        The benefits available to an Approved Enterprise are conditioned upon terms stipulated in the Investment Law and the regulations thereunder and the criteria set forth in the applicable certificate of approval. If we do not fulfill these conditions in whole or in part, the benefits can be canceled and we may be required to refund the amount of the benefits, with the addition of the Israeli consumer price index linkage differences and interest. We believe that our Approved Enterprises currently operate in compliance with all applicable conditions and criteria, but there can be no assurance that they will continue to do so.

        Income derived from other sources, other than the “Approved Enterprise” during the benefit period will be subject to tax at the regular corporate tax rate.

        Pursuant to the amendment to the Investments Law, only approved enterprises receiving cash grants require the approval of the Investment Center. Approved enterprises which do not receive benefits in the form of governmental cash grants, such as benefits in the form of tax benefits, are no longer required to obtain this approval (such enterprises are referred to as privileged enterprises). However, a privileged enterprise is required to comply with certain requirements and make certain investments as specified in the amended Investment Law. The amendment to the Investment Law addresses benefits that are being granted to privileged enterprises and the length of the benefits period.

        The amended Investment Law specifies certain conditions that a privileged enterprise has to comply with in order to be entitled to benefits. These conditions include among others:

  that the privileged enterprise’s revenues during the applicable tax year from any single market (i.e. country or a separate customs territory) do not exceed 75% of the privileged enterprise’s aggregate revenues during such year; or

  that 25% or more of the privileged enterprise’s revenues during the applicable tax year are generated from sales into a single market (i.e. country or a separate customs territory) with a population of at least 12 million residents.

        As a result of the amendment and recent interpretations, tax-exempt income generated under the provisions of the new law will subject us to taxes upon distribution or liquidation and we may be required to record deferred tax liability with respect to such tax-exempt income, possibly affecting our results in the future.

        There can be no assurance that we will comply with the above conditions in the future or that we will be entitled to any additional benefits under the amended Investment Law.

Law for the Encouragement of Industry (Taxes), 1969

        We believe that we currently qualify as an “Industrial Company” within the meaning of the Law for the Encouragement of Industry (Taxes), 1969, or the Industry Encouragement Law. The Industry Encouragement Law defines “Industrial Company” as a company resident in Israel, of which 90% or more of its income in any tax year, other than of income from defense loans, capital gains, interest and dividends, is derived from an “Industrial Enterprise” owned by it. An “Industrial Enterprise” is defined as an enterprise whose major activity in a given tax year is industrial production.

55



        The following corporate tax benefits, among others, are available to Industrial Companies:

  amortization of the cost of purchased know-how and patents, which are used for the development or advancement of the company, over an eight-year period;

  accelerated depreciation rates on equipment and buildings;

  under specified conditions, an election to file consolidated tax returns with additional related Israeli Industrial Companies; and

  expenses related to a public offering are deductible in equal amounts over three years.

        Eligibility for the benefits under the Industry Encouragement Law is not subject to receipt of prior approval from any governmental authority. We cannot assure that we qualify or will continue to qualify as an “Industrial Company” or that the benefits described above will be available in the future.

Taxation of our Shareholders

        Taxation of Non-Israeli Shareholders on Receipt of Dividends. Non-residents of Israel are generally subject to Israeli income tax on the receipt of dividends paid on our ordinary shares at the rate of 25%, which tax will be withheld at source, unless a different rate is provided in a treaty between Israel and the shareholder’s country of residence. However, as of the 2006 tax year, the tax rate on dividends will be reduced to 20% and the withholding rate may be reduced as well. With respect to a substantial shareholder (which is someone who alone, or together with another person, holds, directly or indirectly, at least 10% in one or all of any of the means of control in the corporation), the applicable tax rate will remain at 25%. Under the U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty, the maximum rate of tax withheld in Israel on dividends paid to a holder of our ordinary shares who is a U.S. resident (for purposes of the U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty) is 25%. However, generally, the maximum rate of withholding tax on dividends, not generated by our Approved Enterprise, that are paid to a U.S. corporation holding 10% or more of our outstanding voting capital throughout the tax year in which the dividend is distributed as well as the previous tax year, is 12.5%. Furthermore, dividends paid from income derived from our Approved Enterprise are subject, under certain conditions, to withholding at the rate of 15%. We cannot assure you that we will designate the profits that are being distributed in a way that will reduce shareholders’ tax liability.

        A non-resident of Israel who receives dividends from which tax was withheld is generally exempt from the duty to file returns in Israel in respect of such income, provided such income was not derived from a business conducted in Israel by the taxpayer, and the taxpayer has no other taxable sources of income in Israel.

        Capital Gains Taxes Applicable to Non-Israeli Resident Shareholders. Shareholders that are not Israeli residents are generally exempt from Israeli capital gains tax on any gains derived from the sale, exchange or disposition of our ordinary shares, provided that (1) such shareholders did not acquire their shares prior to our initial public offering, (2) the shares are listed for trading on a stock exchange in a jurisdiction with which Israel has a treaty, (3) the provisions of the Income Tax Law (inflationary adjustments), 1985 do not apply to such gain, and (4) such gains did not derive from a permanent establishment of such shareholders in Israel. However, non-Israeli corporations will not be entitled to the foregoing exemptions if an Israeli resident (i) has a controlling interest of 25.0% or more in such non-Israeli corporation, or (ii) is the beneficiary of or is entitled to 25.0% or more of the revenues or profits of such non-Israeli corporation, whether directly or indirectly.

        Under the U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty, the sale, exchange or disposition of our ordinary shares by a shareholder who is a U.S. resident (for purposes of the U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty) holding the ordinary shares as a capital asset is exempt from Israeli capital gains tax unless either (i) the shareholder holds, directly or indirectly, shares representing 10% or more of our voting capital during any part of the 12-month period preceding such sale, exchange or disposition, or (ii) the capital gains arising from such sale are attributable to a permanent establishment of the shareholder located in Israel.

U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

        The following discussion is a description of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to an investment in the ordinary shares by U.S. Holders who acquire our ordinary shares and hold them as capital assets for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As used in this section, the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of an ordinary share who is:

  citizen or resident of the United States;

  a corporation created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or of any state of the United States or the District of Columbia;

  an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

  a trust if the trust has elected validly to be treated as a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes or if a U.S. court is able to exercise primary supervision over the trust's administration and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all of the trust's substantial decisions.

        The term “Non-U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of an ordinary share who is not a U.S. Holder. The tax consequences to a Non-U.S. Holder may differ substantially from the tax consequences to a U.S. Holder. Certain aspects of U.S. federal income tax relevant to a Non-U.S. Holder also are discussed below.

        This description is based on provisions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, referred to in this discussion as the Code, existing and proposed U.S. Treasury regulations and administrative and judicial interpretations, each as available and in effect as of the date of this annual report. These sources may change, possibly with retroactive effect, and are open to differing interpretations. This description does not discuss all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be applicable to investors in light of their particular circumstances or to investors who are subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax law, including:

  insurance companies;

  dealers in stocks, securities or currencies;

  financial institutions and financial services entities;

  real estate investment trusts;

  regulated investment companies;

  persons that receive ordinary shares as compensation for the performance of services;

  tax-exempt organizations;

  persons that hold ordinary shares as a position in a straddle or as part of a hedging, conversion or other integrated instrument;

  individual retirement and other tax-deferred accounts;

  expatriates of the United States;

  persons (other than Non-U.S. Holders) having a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar; and

  direct, indirect or constructive owners of 10% or more, by voting power or value, of us.

        This discussion also does not consider the tax treatment of persons or partnerships who hold ordinary shares through a partnership or other pass-through entity or the possible application of United States federal gift or estate tax or alternative minimum tax.

        We urge you to consult with your own tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of investing in the ordinary shares, including the effects of federal, state, local, foreign and other tax laws.

Distributions Paid on the Ordinary Shares

        We currently do not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. However, subject to the discussion below under “Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations,” a U.S. Holder generally will be required to include in gross income as ordinary dividend income the amount of any distributions paid on the ordinary shares, including the amount of any Israeli taxes withheld, to the extent that those distributions are paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Subject to the discussion below under “Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations,” distributions in excess of our earnings and profits will be applied against and will reduce the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in its ordinary shares and, to the extent they exceed that tax basis, will be treated as gain from a sale or exchange of those ordinary shares. Our dividends will not qualify for the dividends-received deduction applicable in some cases to U.S. corporations. Dividends paid in NIS, including the amount of any Israeli taxes withheld, will be includible in the income of a U.S. Holder in a U.S. dollar amount calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the date they are included in income by the U.S. Holder, regardless of whether the payment in fact is converted into U.S. dollars. Any gain or loss resulting from currency exchange fluctuations during the period from the date the dividend is includible in the income of the U.S. Holder to the date that payment is converted into U.S. dollars generally will be treated as ordinary income or loss.

57



        A non-corporate U.S. holder’s “qualified dividend income” currently is subject to tax at reduced rates not exceeding 15%. For this purpose, “qualified dividend income” generally includes dividends paid by a foreign corporation if either:

  (a) the stock of that corporation with respect to which the dividends are paid is readily tradable on an established securities market in the U.S., or

  (b) that corporation is eligible for benefits of a comprehensive income tax treaty with the U.S. which includes an information exchange program and is determined to be satisfactory by the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury. The Internal Revenue Service has determined that the U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty is satisfactory for this purpose.

        In addition, under current law a U.S. Holder must generally hold his ordinary shares for more than 60 days during the 120 day period beginning 60 days prior to the ex-dividend date and meet other holding period requirements for qualified dividend income.

        Dividends paid by a foreign corporation will not qualify for the reduced rates, however, if such corporation is treated, for the tax year in which the dividend is paid or the preceding tax year, as a “passive foreign investment company” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We do not believe that we will be classified as a “passive foreign investment company” for U.S. federal income tax purposes for our current taxable year. However, see the discussion under “– Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations” below. The reduced rate applicable to qualified dividend distributions does not apply to tax years beginning after December 31, 2008.

        Subject to the discussion below under “Information Reporting and Back-up Withholding,” a Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax on dividends received on ordinary shares unless that income is effectively connected with the conduct by that Non-U.S. Holder of a trade or business in the United States.

Foreign Tax Credit

        Any dividend income resulting from distributions we pay to a U.S. Holder with respect to the ordinary shares generally will be treated as foreign source income for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes, which may be relevant in calculating such holder’s foreign tax credit limitation. Subject to certain conditions and limitations, Israeli tax withheld on dividends may be deducted from taxable income or credited against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability. The limitation on foreign taxes eligible for credit is calculated separately with respect to specific classes of income. The rules relating to the determination of foreign source income and the foreign tax credit are complex, and the availability of a foreign tax credit depends on numerous factors. Each prospective purchaser who would be a U.S. Holder should consult with its own tax advisor to determine whether its income with respect to the ordinary shares would be foreign source income and whether and to what extent that purchaser would be entitled to the credit.

Disposition of Ordinary Shares

        Upon the sale or other disposition of ordinary shares, subject to the discussion below under “Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations,” a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the disposition and the holder’s adjusted tax basis in the ordinary shares. U.S. Holders should consult their own advisors with respect to the tax consequences of the receipt of a currency other than U.S. dollars upon such sale or other disposition.

        In the event there is an Israeli income tax on gain from the disposition of ordinary shares, such tax should generally be the type of tax that is creditable for U.S. tax purposes; however, because it is likely that the source of any such gain would be a U.S. source, a U.S. foreign tax credit may not be available. U.S. shareholders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the ability to claim such credit.

58



        Gain or loss upon the disposition of the ordinary shares will be treated as long-term if, at the time of the sale or disposition, the ordinary shares were held for more than one year. Long-term capital gains realized by non-corporate U.S. Holders are generally subject to a lower marginal U.S. federal income tax rate than ordinary income, other than qualified dividend income, as defined above. The deductibility of capital losses by a U.S. Holder is subject to limitations. In general, any gain or loss recognized by a U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of ordinary shares will be U.S. source income or loss for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors concerning the source of income for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes and the effect of the U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty on the source of income.

        Subject to the discussion below under “Information Reporting and Back-up Withholding”, a Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax on any gain realized on the sale or exchange of ordinary shares unless:

  that gain is effectively connected with the conduct by the Non-U.S. Holder of a trade or business in the United States, or

  in the case of any gain realized by an individual Non-U.S. Holder, that holder is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the sale or exchange, and other conditions are met.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations

        Special U.S. federal income tax rules apply to U.S. Holders owning shares of a passive foreign investment company. A non-U.S. corporation will be considered a passive foreign investment company for any taxable year in which, after applying certain look-through rules, 75% or more of its gross income consists of specified types of passive income, or 50% or more of the average value of its assets consists of passive assets, which generally means assets that generate, or are held for the production of, passive income. Passive income may include amounts derived by reason of the temporary investment of funds. If we were classified as a passive foreign investment company, a U.S. Holder could be subject to increased tax liability upon the sale or other disposition of ordinary shares or upon the receipt of amounts treated as “excess distributions.” Under these rules, the excess distribution and any gain would be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the ordinary shares, and the amount allocated to the current taxable year and any taxable year prior to the first taxable year in which we were a passive foreign investment company would be taxed as ordinary income. The amount allocated to each of the other taxable years would be subject to tax at the highest marginal rate in effect for the applicable class of taxpayer for that year, and an interest charge for the deemed deferral benefit would be imposed on the resulting tax allocated to such other taxable years. The tax liability with respect to the amount allocated to years prior to the year of the disposition, or “excess distribution,” cannot be offset by any net operating losses. In addition, holders of stock in a passive foreign investment company may not receive a “step-up” in basis on shares acquired from a decedent. U.S. Holders who hold ordinary shares during a period when we are a passive foreign investment company will be subject to the foregoing rules even if we cease to be a passive foreign investment company.

        We believe that we are not a passive foreign investment company for U.S. federal income tax purposes, but we cannot be certain whether we will be treated as a passive foreign investment company for the current year or any future taxable year. Our belief that we will not be a passive foreign investment company for the current year is based on our estimate of the fair market value of our intangible assets, including goodwill, not reflected in our financial statements under U.S. GAAP, and our projection of our income for the current year. If the IRS successfully challenged our valuation of our intangible assets, it could result in our classification as a passive foreign investment company. Moreover, because passive foreign investment company status is based on our income and assets for the entire taxable year, it is not possible to determine whether we will be a passive foreign investment company for the current taxable year until after the close of the year. In the future, in calculating the value of our intangible assets, we will value our total assets, in part, based on our total market value determined using the average of the selling price of our ordinary shares on the last trading day of each calendar quarter. We believe this valuation approach is reasonable. While we intend to manage our business so as to avoid passive foreign investment company status, to the extent consistent with our other business goals, we cannot predict whether our business plans will allow us to avoid passive foreign investment company status or whether our business plans will change in a manner that affects our passive foreign investment company status determination. In addition, because the market price of our ordinary shares is likely to fluctuate and the market price of the shares of technology companies has been especially volatile, and because that market price may affect the determination of whether we will be considered a passive foreign investment company, we cannot assure that we will not be considered a passive foreign investment company for any taxable year.

59



        The passive foreign investment company rules described above will not apply to a U.S. Holder if the U.S. Holder makes an election to treat us as a qualified electing fund. However, a U.S Holder may make a qualified electing fund election only if we furnish the U.S. Holder with certain tax information. We currently do not provide this information, and we currently do not intend to take actions necessary to permit you to make a qualified electing fund election in the event we are determined to be a passive foreign investment company. As an alternative to making this election, a U.S. Holder of passive foreign investment company stock which is publicly-traded may in certain circumstances avoid certain of the tax consequences generally applicable to holders of a passive foreign investment company by electing to mark the stock to market annually and recognizing as ordinary income or loss each year an amount equal to the difference as of the close of the taxable year between the fair market value of the passive foreign investment company stock and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the passive foreign investment company stock. Losses would be allowed only to the extent of net mark-to-market gain previously included by the U.S. Holder under the election for prior taxable years. This election is available for so long as our ordinary shares constitute “marketable stock,” which includes stock of a passive foreign investment company that is “regularly traded” on a “qualified exchange or other market.” Generally, a “qualified exchange or other market” includes a national market system established pursuant to Section 11A of the Exchange Act. A class of stock that is traded on one or more qualified exchanges or other markets is “regularly traded” on an exchange or market for any calendar year during which that class of stock is traded, other than in de minimis quantities, on at least 15 days during each calendar quarter. We believe that the Nasdaq Capital Market will constitute a qualified exchange or other market for this purpose. However, no assurances can be provided that our ordinary shares will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market or that the shares will be regularly traded for this purpose.

        The rules applicable to owning shares of a passive foreign investment company are complex, and each prospective purchaser who would be a U.S. Holder should consult with its own tax advisor regarding the consequences of investing in a passive foreign investment company.

Information Reporting and Back-up Withholding

        Holders generally will be subject to information reporting requirements with respect to dividends paid in the United States on ordinary shares. In addition, Holders will be subject to back-up withholding tax on dividends paid in the United States on ordinary shares unless the holder provides an IRS certification or otherwise establishes an exemption. Holders will be subject to information reporting and back-up withholding tax on proceeds paid within the United States from the disposition of ordinary shares unless the holder provides an IRS certification or otherwise establishes an exemption. Information reporting and back-up withholding may also apply to dividends and proceeds paid outside the United States that are paid by certain “U.S. payors” or “U.S. middlemen,” as defined in the applicable Treasury regulations, including:

  (1) U.S. person;

  (2) the government of the U.S. or the government of any state or political subdivision of any state (or any agency or instrumentality of any of these governmental units);

  (3) a controlled foreign corporation;

  (4) a foreign partnership that is either engaged in a U.S. trade or business or whose Untied States partners in the aggregate hold more than 50% of the income or capital interests in the partnership;

  (5) a foreign person that derives 50% or more of its gross income for certain periods from the conduct of a trade or business in the U.S.; or

  (6) a U.S. branch of a foreign bank or insurance company.

        The back-up withholding tax rate is 28% for years through 2010. Back-up withholding and information reporting will not apply to payments made to Non-U. S. Holders if they have provided the required certification that they are not United States persons.

        In the case of payments by a payor or middleman to a foreign simple trust, foreign grantor trust or foreign partnership, other than payments to a holder that qualifies as a withholding foreign trust or a withholding foreign partnership within the meaning of the Treasury regulations and payments that are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, the beneficiaries of the foreign simple trust, the person treated as the owner of the foreign grantor trust or the partners of the foreign partnership will be required to provide the certification discussed above in order to establish an exemption from backup withholding tax and information reporting requirements.

60



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

ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

        Exchange Rate Risk. Some of the proceeds from our sales are processed by an online payment service that holds 25% of these proceeds for a period of up to six months. With respect to cash proceeds that are held by this online payment service in currencies other than U.S. dollar, we bear a foreign currency fluctuation risk until such proceeds are actually paid to us. In 2004, the related foreign currency fluctuation resulted in $40,000 of financial income and in 2005 resulted in $105,000 financial expense. Both sums are components of the exchange rate differences set forth in Note 10(a) of our financial statements. As of December 31, 2005, proceeds in foreign currencies held by this online payment service amounted to approximately $560,000. By the end of the second quarter of 2006, we expect to reduce significantly our exposure by having the online payment service hold a U.S. dollar deposit instead of several deposits in other currencies.

        In addition, in territories where our prices are based on local currencies, fluctuations in the dollar exchange rate could affect our gross profit margin. We may compensate for such fluctuations by changing product prices accordingly. We also hold a small part of our financial investments in other currencies mainly New Israeli Shekels and Euro. The dollar value of those investments may decline. A revaluation of 1% of the foreign currencies (i.e. other than U.S. dollar) will affect our income before tax by less than 1% percent.

        Approximately two thirds of our costs, including salaries, expenses and office expenses are incurred in New Israeli Shekels. Inflation in Israel may have the effect of increasing the U.S. dollar cost of our operations in Israel. If the U.S. dollar declines in value in relation to the New Israeli Shekel, it will become more expensive for us to fund our operations in Israel. A revaluation of 1% of the NIS will affect our income before tax by less than one percent. The exchange rate of the U.S. dollar to the New Israeli Shekel, based on exchange rates published by the Bank of Israel, was as follows:

Year Ended December 31,
2003
2004
2005
 
Average rate for period      4.548    4.482    4.4878  
Rate at year-end    4.379    4.308    4.603  

        To date, we have not found it necessary to hedge the risks associated with fluctuations in currency exchange rates. In the future, if we do not engage in effective hedging transactions, our results of operations may be subject to losses from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

        Interest Rate Risk. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while maximizing the interest income we receive from our investments, without increasing risk. We intend to invest our cash balances primarily in bank deposits and investment grade interest-bearing instruments. We are exposed to market risks resulting from changes in interest rates relating primarily to our financial investments in cash, deposits and marketable securities. We do not use derivative financial instruments to limit exposure to interest rate risk. Our interest gains may decline in the future as a result of changes in the financial markets. However, we believe any such potential loss would be immaterial to us.

ITEM 13. DEFAULTS, DIVIDEND ARREARAGES AND DELINQUENCIES

  Not applicable.

ITEM 14. MATERIAL MODIFICATIONS TO THE RIGHTS OF SECURITY HOLDERS AND USE OF PROCEEDS

        Prior to the closing of our initial public offering, all of our outstanding preferred shares were converted into ordinary shares. Appropriate articles of incorporation (relating only to ordinary shares and allowing, for example, free transferability of shares) became effective upon the closing of our initial public offering. The material provisions of our articles of association as currently in effect are described under “Item 6.C Board Practices” with respect to our board of directors, and otherwise under “Item 10.B Memorandum and Articles of Association.” Since our initial public offering, no instruments defining the rights of our ordinary shares’ holders have been modified.

E. USE OF PROCEEDS

        The effective date of our first registration statement, filed on Form F-1 under the Securities Act (File No. 333-129246), relating to the initial public offering of our ordinary shares, was January 30, 2006 and the offering date was January 30, 2006. The offering was managed by Maxim Group LLC. In the offering we sold 2,500,000 ordinary shares at a per share price of $7.50. Our aggregate net proceeds (after underwriting discounts and expenses) amounted to approximately $16.9 million. The aggregate price of the offering amount registered was $18.75 million (excluding the over-allotment). The offering closed on February 3, 2006. The selling shareholders granted the underwriters an option to purchase an additional 375,000 ordinary shares to cover over-allotments, and this option was exercised in full, resulting in aggregate net proceeds to the selling shareholders of 2.5 million (after underwriting discounts and selling expenses).

        The amount of the underwriting discount paid by us and the selling shareholders in the offering was approximately $1.7 million and the expenses of the offering, not including the underwriting discount, were approximately $1.2 million (including a $0.4 million non-accountable expense allowance paid to the underwriters, $0.7 million of legal and accounting fees and $0.1 million of printing fees, various filing, registration and miscellaneous fees). No direct or indirect payments were made to our directors, officers or their affiliates, to our affiliates or to persons owning 10% or more of our securities.

        To date, the net proceeds of the offering have been invested in accordance with our investment policy in investment grade, interest-bearing instruments rated BBB and above. We still intend to use the proceeds in the manner set forth in our prospectus of January 30, 2006.

ITEM 15. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

        Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2005. Based on such review, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that we have in place effective controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

        During the period covered by this report, no material changes in our internal control over financial reporting have occurred that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 16. [Reserved]

ITEM 16A. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT

        Our board of directors has determined that Mr. James H. Lee, who is an independent director (as defined under Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASD market rules) and serves on our audit committee, qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 16A of Form 20-F.

63



ITEM 16B. CODE OF ETHICS

        Our board of directors has adopted a code of conduct applicable to all of our directors, officers and employees as required by the Nasdaq Market rules, which also complies with the definition of a “code of ethics” set out in Section 406(c) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

ITEM 16C. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

        We paid the following fees for the professional services rendered by Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer, a member of Ernst & Young Global, which have served as our independent public accountants for the last two years:

2004

All Other Fees    -    -  


         Total     $ 123,806   $ 361,334  



        For the year 2005, audit fees included services rendered in connection with our initial public offering; and tax services rendered by our independent public accountants included corporate tax advice.

        For the year 2004, audit related services rendered by our independent public accountants included services rendered in connection with our then contemplated admission to the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange plc (which was subsequently abandoned) and services rendered in connection with due diligence conducted by a potential acquirer; tax services rendered by our independent public accountants included corporate tax advise and services rendered in connection with due diligence.

        Our audit committee is responsible for the establishment of policies and procedures for review and pre-approval by the committee of all audit services and permissible non-audit services to be performed by our independent auditor, in order to ensure that such services do not impair our auditor’s independence. Pursuant to the pre-approval policy adopted by our audit committee, certain enumerated audit, audit-related and tax services have been granted general pre-approval by our audit committee and need not be specifically pre-approved. Pre-approval fee levels or budgeted amounts for all services to be provided by the independent auditor will be established annually by the audit committee and the committee may also determine the appropriate ratio between the total amount of fees for audit, audit-related, tax services and other services. Such levels and ratios have not been determined yet for the year 2006. All requests for services to be provided by the independent auditor will be submitted to our Chief Financial Officer, who will determine whether such services are included within the enumerated pre-approved services. The audit committee will be informed on a timely basis of any pre-approved services that were performed by the auditor. Requests for services that require specific pre-approval will be submitted to the audit committee with a statement as to whether, in the view of the Chief Financial Officer and the independent auditor, the request is consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence. The Chief Financial Officer will monitor the performance of all services and determine whether such services are in compliance with the policy.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders of

INCREDIMAIL LTD.

        We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Incredimail Ltd. (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2004 and 2005, and the related statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity (deficiency) and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

        We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and 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 at December 31, 2004 and 2005 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

INCREDIMAIL LTD.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1: GENERAL

  Incredimail Ltd. (“the Company”) designs, develops and markets an integrated suite of email software products that create an entertaining email experience by offering users the ability to design a customized and personal presentation. The Company’s products enable email users to personalize their email messages by applying to them various creative features, such as notifiers, letter backgrounds, 3D effects, animation, voice message recorders and handwritten signatures. The Company’s products target the consumer and home market.

  The Company was incorporated under the laws of Israel in 1999 and commenced operations in 2000.

  On February 3, 2006 the Company effected an Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) of its Ordinary shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market . See Note 12 – Subsequent Event.

NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  The financial statements have been prepared according to United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“US GAAP”).

  a. Use of estimates:

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

  b. Financial statements in U.S. dollars:

  The Company’s operations are currently conducted in Israel and most of the Israeli expenses are currently paid in New Israeli Shekels (“NIS”); however, the markets for the Company’s products are located outside of Israel and the Company generates most of its revenues in U.S. dollars (“dollars”). The Company’s management believes that the dollar is the primary currency of the economic environment in which the Company operates. Thus, the functional and reporting currency of the Company is the dollar.

  Accordingly, monetary accounts maintained in currencies other than the dollar are remeasured into dollars in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation”. All transaction gains and losses of the remeasured monetary balance sheet items are reflected in the statement of income as financial income or expenses, as appropriate.

  c. Cash equivalents:

  Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash with maturities of three months or less at the date acquired.

F - 8



INCREDIMAIL LTD.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

  d. Marketable securities:

  Management determines the classification of investments in marketable equity and debt securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designations as of each balance sheet date. At December 31, 2004 and 2005, all marketable securities covered by SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”, were designated as available-for-sale. Accordingly, these securities are stated at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive income, a separate component of shareholders’ equity (deficiency), net of taxes. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments, as determined on a specific identification basis, are included in the statement of income as part of financial income (expenses), net.

  e. Property and equipment:

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

%
Computers and peripheral equipment 33
Office furniture and equipment 7 - 15
Automobiles 15

  Leasehold improvements are depreciated by the straight-line method over the term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the improvements, whichever is shorter.

  The Company’s property and equipment are reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. As of December 31, 2005, no impairment losses have been identified.

NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

  f. Revenue recognition:

  The Company’s revenues are derived principally from licensing the right to use its email software. The Company also generates revenues from content database, advertising and collaboration arrangements.

  Revenues from email software license sales are recognized when all criteria outlined in Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition” (as amended), are met. Revenues from software license are recognized when persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, delivery of the product has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is probable. The Company’s e-mail users may also purchase a license to its content database. This content database provides additional Incredimail content files in the form of email background, animation sounds, graphics and e-mail notifiers. Licensing fees are recognized over the license period. Lifetime licensing revenues are recognized over a three year period, which represents the Company’s estimate of the usage period of the content database. Deferred revenues include upfront payments received from customers, for which revenues have not yet been recognized.

  The Company offers advertisers the ability to place text-based ads on its website and banners in its email clients. Advertisers are charged monthly based on the number of times a user clicks on one of the ads. The Company recognizes revenue from advertisement at that time.

  Collaboration arrangements have been established with two other companies that use the Company’s brand name “Incredi” for their website and to which the Company refers users. In consideration for the brand and promotional activity that the Company provides for one of the companies, the Company is entitled to a share of the gross revenues generated from the website (as defined in the agreement), and from the second company to a share of the net license fees (as defined in the agreement) received by the Company’s collaborator through its website. Revenues from these collaboration arrangements are recognized when earned.

  g. Research and development costs:

  Research and development costs are charged to the statement of income as incurred. SFAS No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed”, requires capitalization of certain software development costs subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility. Based on the Company’s product development process, technological feasibility is established upon completion of a detail program design. Costs incurred by the Company between completion of the working models and the point at which the products are ready for general release, have been insignificant. Therefore, all research and development costs have been expensed.

  h. Government grants:

  The Company has received non-royalty-bearing grants from the Fund for Encouragement of Marketing Activity. These grants are recognized at the time the Company is entitled to such grants on the basis of the costs incurred and included as a deduction of selling and marketing expenses. Selling and marketing grants for the year ended December 31, 2003 amounted to $ 2,000. No grants were received in 2004 and 2005.

  i. Income taxes:

  The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. This Statement prescribes the use of the liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liability account balances are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company provides a valuation allowance, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to their estimated realizable value.

  j. Advertising expenses:

  Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005 amounted to $ 313,000, $ 107,000 and $ 35,000, respectively.

  k. Content expenses:

  The Company assembles content for the use of its customers through purchases of a variety of creative and diverse graphics, sound and multimedia from third party manufacturers and through internal creation of such content. These content costs are expensed as incurred. Content expenses for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2004 amounted to $ 61,000, $ 60,000 and $ 139,000, respectively.

  l. Concentrations of credit risk:

  Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and trade receivables.

  The majority of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are invested mainly in dollar instruments with major banks in Israel. Management believes that the financial institutions that hold the Company’s investments are financially sound and accordingly, low credit risk exists with respect to these investments.

  The Company’s marketable securities include investment in corporate debentures and equity securities. Management believes that the portfolio is well diversified, and accordingly, credit risk is mitigated with respect to those marketable securities.

  The Company is subject to a minimal amount of credit risk related to its customers as revenues are primarily obtained through credit card sales. To date, the Company has not experienced any material bad debt losses.

  m. Severance pay:

  The Company’s liability for severance pay is calculated pursuant to Israeli Severance Pay Law based on its employees’ most recent monthly salaries, multiplied by their number of years of employment, or a portion thereof, as of the balance sheet date. This liability is fully provided for by monthly deposits for insurance policies and by an accrual.

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

  Severance expenses for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005 amounted to $ 94,000, $ 96,000 and $ 158,000, respectively.

  n. Net earnings per Ordinary share:

  The Company applies the two-class method as required by Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) No. 03-6, “Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method under FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share (SFAS 128)". EITF No. 03-6 requires the income per share for each class of shares (Ordinary shares and Redeemable Convertible Preferred shares) to be calculated assuming 100% of the Company’s earnings are distributed as dividends to each class of shares based on their contractual rights.

  Basic net earnings per Ordinary share are computed based on the weighted average number of Ordinary shares outstanding during each year. Diluted net earnings per Ordinary share are computed based on the weighted average number of Ordinary shares outstanding during each year, plus dilutive potential Ordinary shares considered outstanding during the year, in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share”.

  The total weighted average number of Ordinary shares related to the outstanding options excluded from the calculations of diluted net earnings per Ordinary share because these securities are anti-dilutive was 1,249 and 19,395 shares for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004, respectively. None were excluded from this calculation in 2005.

  Basic and diluted net earnings per Redeemable Convertible Preferred share were not presented in the financial statements.

  Basic and diluted pro forma net earnings per Ordinary share, as presented in the statements of income, have been calculated as described above and also give effect to the automatic conversion of the Redeemable Convertible Preferred shares into Ordinary shares that occurred upon closing of the Company’s IPO (See Note 12 – Subsequent Events). In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 1.B.3, basic and diluted pro forma net earnings per Ordinary share also give effect to the increase in the number of shares which, when multiplied by the offering price, would be sufficient to replace the capital in excess of earnings being withdrawn.

  See Notes 10(b) and 10(c) for details of the computation of net earnings per Ordinary share and pro forma net earnings per Ordinary share.

  o. Accounting for stock-based compensation:

  The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 44 “Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation”, in accounting for its employee share option plan. Under APB No. 25, when the exercise price of an employee share option is equivalent to or above the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized.

  The Company applies SFAS No. 123 and EITF No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services”, with respect to options granted to non-employees. SFAS No. 123 requires the use of an option valuation model to measure the fair value of the warrants at the grant date.

  Pro forma information regarding the Company’s net income and net earnings per share is required by SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, and SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure”, and has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee share options under the fair value method prescribed by SFAS No. 123.

  The fair value for the options issued each year (no options were issued in 2005) was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

Year ended December 31,
2003
2004
 
Risk free interest rate      2.3 %  3.3 %
Dividend yield    0 %  0 %
Volatility factor    83.6 %  74.6 %

  q. Impact of recently issued accounting standards:

  In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment”. SFAS No. 123(R) will provide investors and other users of financial statements with more complete and neutral financial information by requiring that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. SFAS No. 123(R) covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. SFAS No. 123(R) replaces SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, and supersedes APB No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”. SFAS No. 123, as originally issued in 1995, established as preferable a fair-value-based method of accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees. However, that Statement permitted entities the option of continuing to apply the guidance in APB No. 25, as long as the footnotes to financial statements disclosed what net income would have been had the preferable fair-value-based method been used. Public entities will be required to apply SFAS No. 123(R) as of the first annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. As permitted by SFAS No. 123, the Company currently accounts for share-based payments to employees using APB No. 25‘s intrinsic value method. Accordingly, the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R)‘s fair value will have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, although it will have no impact on its overall financial position. The Company plans to adopt SFAS No. 123(R) using the “modified prospective” method. Under this method, companies are required to recognize compensation cost for share-based payments to employees based on their grant-date fair value from the beginning of the fiscal period in which the recognition provisions are first applied. Measurement and recognition of compensation cost for awards that were granted prior to, but not vested as of, the date SFAS No. 123(R) is adopted would be based on the same estimate of the grant-date fair value and the same recognition method used previously under SFAS No. 123 (either for financial statement recognition or pro forma disclosure purposes). Any adjustments to recognize share-based liabilities at fair value (as opposed to intrinsic value under APB No. 25) will be recognized as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. For those awards that are granted, modified, or settled after SFAS No. 123(R) is adopted, compensation cost will be measured and recognized in the financial statements in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R). Prior periods would not be restated, although early adoption is encouraged.

  For periods prior to adoption, the financial statements are unchanged, and the pro forma disclosures previously required by SFAS No. 123 will continue to be required under the new standard to the extent those amounts differ from those in the statements of income. For periods subsequent to adoption, pro forma disclosures will not be necessary for periods that begin after the adoption date of the new standard because the post-adoption income statements will reflect compensation cost for all share-based payments for which requisite service continues to be provided based on fair value. Additionally, if the company did not estimate forfeitures prior to adopting SFAS No. 123(R), forfeitures will have to be estimated upon adoption. Those companies are required to recognize a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principles to reverse compensation cost recognized in the financial statements (not cost “recognized” only in the pro forma disclosures) in periods prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 123(R) for those awards that are not expected to vest.

INCREDIMAIL LTD.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


  The impact of adoption of SFAS 123(R) on future periods cannot be predicted at this time because it will depend on share-based payments granted in the future. However, had the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) in prior periods, the impact of the standard would have approximated the impact of SFAS No. 123 as described in the disclosure of pro forma net income and earnings per share in Note 2(o) to the financial statements.

  In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29". The guidance in APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions (“APB No. 29”), is based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. APB No. 29 included certain exceptions to that principle. SFAS No. 153 amends APB No. 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. SFAS No. 153 is effective for nonmonetary assets exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company does not expect that the adoption of SFAS No. 153 will have any material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

  The Company is currently not subject to any legal proceedings or litigation. In 2002 and again in 2004, a third party demanded that the Company remove certain “Smiley”graphics from its website, claiming that the third party had registered a trademark with respect to these graphics and that the Company’s use infringed upon its rights. The Company believes this to be without any merit and intends to vigorously defend any suit related to this matter.

  b. Lease commitments:

  1. The Company rents its facilities under an operating lease agreement, which expires in April 2006. Aggregate minimum rental commitment under non-cancelable lease agreement as of December 31, 2005 is $ 41,000 to be paid in 2006.

NOTE 7: INCOME TAXES

  a. Measurement of taxable income under the Income Tax (Inflationary Adjustments) Law, 1985:

  Results for tax purposes of Israeli entities are measured and reflected in real terms in accordance with the change in the Israeli Consumer Price Index (“CPI”). As explained in Note 2(b), the financial statements are presented in dollars. The differences between the change in the Israeli CPI and in the NIS/ dollar exchange rate cause a difference between taxable income or loss and the income or loss before taxes reflected in the financial statements. In accordance with paragraph 9(f) of SFAS No. 109, the Company has not provided deferred income taxes on this difference between the reporting currency amount and the tax basis of assets and liabilities.

  b. Tax benefits under the Israel Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959 (the “Law”):

  Two programs of the Company have been granted “Approved Enterprise” status under the Law. For these programs, the Company has elected alternative benefits, waiving grants in return for tax exemptions. These benefits include tax-exemption for a period of two years from commencement and are taxed at the reduced corporate tax rate of 25% for an additional period of five years thereafter. The first program commenced in 2003 and the second in 2005.

  Income of the Company from sources other than the “Approved Enterprise” during the period of benefits is taxable at the regular corporate tax rate of 36%, 35% and 34% for 2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively.

  The period of tax benefits detailed above is subject to limits of the earlier of 12 years from the commencement of production or 14 years from receiving the approval.

  The Law also entitles the Company to claim accelerated depreciation on equipment used by the “Approved Enterprise” during five tax years.

  The entitlement to the above benefits is subject to fulfilling the conditions stipulated by the Law, regulations published thereunder and instruments of approval for the specific investments in “Approved Enterprises”. In the event of failure to comply with these conditions, the benefits may be canceled and the Company may be required to refund the amount of the benefits, in whole or in part, including interest. As of December 31, 2005, management believes that the Company meets all conditions of the approvals.

  On July 20, 2005 the shareholders of the Company approved a dividend distribution in an amount of approximately $ 4.3 million which was paid on July 27, 2005. An amount of approximately $ 2.8 million was paid out of the tax exempt profit. As a result of distribution of tax exempt profit, the Company recorded tax expense in an amount of approximately $ 0.9 in the year ended December 31, 2005.

  The tax-exempt income attributable to the “Approved Enterprise” can be distributed to shareholders without subjecting the Company to taxes only upon the complete liquidation of the Company. As of December 31, 2005, the Company had approximately $ 2.3 million in undistributed earnings derived from tax-exempt profits earned by the Company’s “Approved Enterprises”. In the event of distribution of these earnings in a manner other than in the complete liquidation of the Company, it would be taxed at the corporate tax rate applicable to such profits as if the Company had not elected the alternative tax benefits (currently – 25%) and an income tax liability would be incurred of approximately $ 0.6 million. The Company has decided not to declare dividends out of such tax-exempt income, accordingly, no additional deferred tax liabilities have been provided.

NOTE 7: INCOME TAXES (Cont.)

  An amendment to the Law, which became effective as of April 1, 2005 (“the Amendment”) has changed certain provisions of the Law. Among other things, the Amendment enacted changes in the manner in which tax benefits are awarded under the law so that companies no longer require the Investment Center approval in order to qualify for tax benefits.

  As the amended Law does not retroactively apply for investment programs having an “Approved Enterprise” approval certificate issued by the Investment Center prior to December 31, 2004, the Company’s current tax benefits are subject to the provisions of the Law prior to its revision, while new benefits that will be received in the future, if any, will be subject to the provisions of the Law as amended.

  c. Changes in tax rates in Israel:

  Until December 31, 2003, the regular tax rate applicable to income of companies (which are not entitled to benefits due to “Approved Enterprise”, as described above) was 36%. In June 2004 and again on July 25, 2005, the Income Tax Ordinance was amended (by amendment No. 140 and Temporary Provision and by amendment No. 147), as a result of which, the corporate tax rate is to be progressively reduced to the following tax rates: 2004 – 35%, 2005 – 34%, 2006 – 31%, 2007 – 29%, 2008 – 27%, 2009 – 26%, 2010 and thereafter – 25%.

  d. Deferred tax assets:

  Deferred taxes reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for tax purposes. Components of the Company’s deferred tax assets are as follows:

December 31,
2004
2005

NOTE 8: REDEEMABLE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED SHARES

  Redeemable Convertible Preferred shares of NIS 0.01 par value were issued in 2000 and have the same rights and privileges associated with Ordinary shares, and also additional rights as set forth below:

  a. Redemption rights:

  The holders of Redeemable Convertible Preferred shares have the right, in the following events, to receive an amount equal to the higher of the actual price paid by each holder of the Redeemable Convertible Preferred shares, linked to the U.S. dollar plus interest at the rate of 5.43% per annum or their proportional share of the entire assets and funds of the Company legally available for distribution. The events are as follows:

  1. Any dissolution or liquidation of the Company where the value of the assets of the Company available for distribution is less than the sum of $ 8 million plus the original investment amount in the Redeemable Convertible Preferred shares.

  2. At the election of the holders of the majority of the Redeemable Convertible Preferred shares on the occurrence of events of sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, merger or acquisition of more than 90% of the Company’s shares, if made according to a valuation of the Company of less than the sum of $ 8 million plus the original investment amount in the Redeemable Convertible Preferred shares.

  b. Conversion rights:

  Each Redeemable Convertible Preferred share shall automatically be converted into an Ordinary share upon the occurrence of either one of the following events:

  1. Completion of a public offering of the Company’s shares that results in proceeds to the Company of at least $ 5 million and that results in an aggregate valuation of all of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Ordinary shares, on a fully diluted basis immediately prior to the consummation of such offering, of at least $ 25 million.

  2. Completion of a merger, consolidation, share exchange, or similar transaction that results in proceeds to the Company of at least $ 5 million and that involves a valuation of all of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Ordinary shares on a fully diluted basis immediately prior to the consummation of such event, of at least $ 25 million.

  3. Written consent of at least 51% of the holders of the Redeemable Convertible Preferred shares.

  In addition, each holder of Redeemable Convertible Preferred shares may convert its shares into Ordinary shares by sending a conversion notice to the Company.

  The conversion price shall be equal to the purchase price of the Redeemable Convertible Preferred shares and the conversion ratio shall be one to one, subject to certain adjustments.

  The Company’s management believes that the fair value of the Company is higher than $ 8 million plus the original investment amount (approximately $ 10.5 million). Hence, it is not probable that the events that are mentioned above will result in the redemption of the Redeemable Convertible Preferred shares. In accordance with EITF D-98, the Company did not make subsequent adjustments to the carrying amount of the Redeemable Convertible Preferred shares, as it was not probable that the redemption right events (as mentioned above) will occur.

  SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity” establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures in its statement of financial position certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. In accordance with the Standard, financial instruments that embody obligations for the issuer are required to be classified as liabilities. SFAS No. 150 does not impact the accounting by the Company since the Redeemable Convertible Preferred shares are not considered “mandatorily redeemable financial instruments” based on SFAS No. 150‘s definition, and therefore is not subject to the accounting treatment under paragraph 9 of SFAS No. 150. The Redeemable Convertible Preferred shares are classified as temporary equity pursuant to SEC Accounting Series Release No. 268 (“ASR 268”) and EITF Topic No. D-98. ASR 268 prohibits the combination of all equity securities under the general heading “Shareholders’ Equity” where the redemption of equity is outside the control of the issuer. Rule 5-02.28 of SEC Regulation S-X requires Preferred securities that are redeemable for cash or other assets to be classified outside of permanent equity if they are redeemable (1) at a fixed or determinable price on a fixed or determinable date; (2) at the option of the holder; or (3) upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the control of the issuer.

  For conversion of Redeemable Convertible Preferred shares to Ordinary shares see Note 12 – Subsequent Event.

NOTE 9: SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

  a. General:

  All Ordinary share and per share data included in these financial statements for all periods presented have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the 38-to-one share split effected as share dividend that was effected immediately prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement January 30, 2006, and the increase of authorized share capital to 15,000,000, as approved by the Company’s shareholders on November 27, 2005.

  b. Share rights:

  The Ordinary shares entitle their holders to voting rights, the right to receive cash dividend and the right to a share in excess assets upon liquidation of the Company.

  c. Share issuance:

  In May 2002, the Company’s board of directors approved the issuance of 114,000 Ordinary shares of NIS 0.01 par value each, in consideration of services, valued at $ 60,000. The Ordinary shares were issued in October 2003.

  The Company’s outstanding options to a service provider as of December 31, 2005, are as follows:

Issuance date
Options for
Ordinary
shares

Exercise
price
per share

Options
exercisable

 
April 2004      3,800   $ 1.72    2,660  
July 2005    19,000   $ 1.72    -  


    
     22,800         2,660  



  The Company had accounted for options to service provider under the fair value method of SFAS No. 123 and EITF No. 96-18. The fair value for these options was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: expected volatility of 0.63, risk-free interest rates of 4.18%, dividend yields of 0% and a weighted-average expected life of the options of approximately four years. None of the options granted to non-employees were either exercised or forfeited. The options were granted at an exercise price less than the fair value of the underlying share on the grant date.

  Compensation expense in respect of options granted to a non employee amounted to $ 6,000 and $ 30,000 for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively.
