GENERAL
 
 
a.
Business overview:
 
AudioCodes Ltd. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (together the "Group") design, develop and market products and services for advanced voice networking and media processing solutions for the digital workplace. The Company enables enterprises and service providers to build and operate all-IP voice networks for unified communications, contact centers, and hosted business services.

b.
Acquisition of Active Communications Europe. ("ACS"):
 
On December 31, 2015 the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of ACS, a Dutch company which provides unified communications solutions. (See also Note 3).
 
 
c.
The Group is dependent upon sole source suppliers for certain key components used in its products, including certain digital signal processing chips. Although there are a limited number of manufacturers of these particular components, management believes that other suppliers could provide similar components at comparable terms. A change in suppliers, however, could cause a delay in manufacturing and a possible loss of sales, which could adversely affect the operating results of the Group and its financial position.
