NOTE A: GENERAL (Cont.)

  The consideration for the transaction amounted to $ 5,500 in cash, of which: $ 2,000 was paid at the closing date, $ 2,000 was paid nine months after the closing date, and $ 1,500 was paid twelve months after the closing date. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement (“the Agreement”), the Group was also required to pay $ 1,000 as a contingent payment, upon Nortel completing product integration under the development agreement. In March 2004, product integration was completed and the $1,000 contingent payment was paid and recorded as part of the acquisition cost as additional goodwill in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combination”.

  In accordance with the agreement, contingent payments in the maximum aggregate amount of $ 12,500 was to be paid to Nortel based on net orders for UAS products placed by Nortel over the 18 month period following the closing date. These contingent payments were not considered part of the acquisition cost and, as accrued, were offset against related revenues earned by the Group from orders by Nortel for each respective period. The Group periodically assessed the expected earn out payments, based on net sales from orders placed by Nortel. In 2003, the Group accrued earn out payments in the amount of $ 1,600, which were included in other payables and accrued expenses in the net amount. In 2004, the Group paid Nortel $ 4,917 in cash in respect of actual sales for the relevant 18 month period. As of December 31, 2004, there remains no further obligation for contingent payments to Nortel.

  b. Acquisition of Ai-Logix Inc. (“Ai-Logix”):

  On May 12, 2004, AudioCodes Inc. acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Ai-Logix, a provider of advanced voice and data recording hardware integration cards for the call recording and voice or data logging industry. The Group has undertaken to apply Ai-Logix’s technology, strategic partnerships and customer base to expand its business into the call recording and computer telephony integration markets.

  The Group paid $ 10,000 in cash at the closing of the transaction. An additional payment of $ 10,000 in cash was made in March 2005 based on the achievement of revenue milestones and additional terms by the Ai-Logix business during 2004 and 2005. This payment was recorded as part of the acquisition cost as additional goodwill in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 141.

  Ai-Logix became a wholly-owned subsidiary of AudioCodes Inc. and accordingly its results of operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements of the Group since the acquisition date.

NOTE B: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  1. 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.

  2. Marketable securities:

  The Company accounts for investments in debt securities in accordance with SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”.

  Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments in marketable debt securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such determinations at each balance sheet date. Debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity since the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity and, accordingly, debt securities are stated at amortized cost.

  The amortized cost of held-to-maturity securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. Such amortization and interest are included in the consolidated statement of operations as financial income or expenses, as appropriate. The accrued interest on short-term and long-term marketable securities is included in other receivables and prepaid expenses.

NOTE C: INVENTORIES

  Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined as follows:

  Raw materials – using the “moving average cost” method.
Finished products – on the basis of direct manufacturing costs.

  The Group periodically evaluates the quantities on hand relative to current and historical selling prices and historical and projected sales volume and technological obsolescence. Based on these evaluations, inventory write-offs and write-down provisions are provided to cover risks arising from slow moving items, technological obsolescence, excess inventories, discontinued products and for market prices lower than cost.

NOTE D: GOODWILL

  The Company has elected to perform its annual analysis of goodwill during the fourth quarter of the year. No indicators of impairment were identified during the six months ended June 30, 2005.

NOTE E: ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

  The Group has elected to follow Accounting Principle Board (“APB”) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and FIN No. 44, “Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation”, in accounting for its employee stock option plans and its non-compensatory Employee Share Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). Under APB No. 25, when the exercise price of the Company’s share options is less than the market price of the underlying shares on the date of grant, compensation expense is recognized.

  The Group adopted the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure”, which amended certain provisions of SFAS No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” to provide alternative methods of transition for an entity that voluntarily changes to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation, effective as of the beginning of the prior year. The Group continues to apply the provisions of APB No. 25, in accounting for stock-based compensation.

  Pro forma information regarding the Group’s net income (loss) and net earnings (loss) per share is required by SFAS No. 123 and has been determined as if the Group had accounted for its employee stock options under the fair value method prescribed by SFAS No. 123. The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model and amortized over the vesting period with the following weighted average assumptions for the three and the six month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004:

NOTE F: NET EARNINGS PER SHARE

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

  In accordance with EITF No. 03-6 “Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method under FASB Statement No. 128", convertible notes that include a provision that reduces the conversion price based on the dividends declared by the issuer are not participating securities.

  Senior convertible notes and outstanding stock options have been excluded from the calculation of the diluted net earnings per Ordinary share since such securities are anti-dilutive for all periods presented. The total weighted average number of shares related to the senior convertible notes and outstanding options excluded from the calculations of diluted net earnings per share was 8,774,317 and 1,231,400 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and 8,449,318 and 626,500 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

NOTE I: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

  1. In August 2005, the Company signed a Summary Of Terms (“SOT”) with an unrelated privately-held company (“invested company”). According to the SOT, the Company would invest $ 1,000 for 10% of the invested company’s share capital. At any time during a period of twelve months from the closing, the Company would have two additional investment options. The first option would be to invest $ 1,000 for an additional 10% of the invested company’s share capital so that the Company’s holdings (after exercise of the option) would be equal to 20% of the invested company’s share capital. The second option would be to invest $ 10,000 in cash or $ 5,000 in cash plus 375,000 of the Company’s ordinary shares for all of the remaining share capital of the invested company. In addition, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with the invested company pursuant to which it loaned to the invested company an aggregate amount of $350. Unless converted, the loan bears interest at the rate of 180 day LIBOR plus 1.0% and is due and payable on November 1, 2005. In the event that, on or before November 1, 2005, the Company consummates an equity investment in the invested company, then the principal amount of the loan would automatically be applied to pay a portion of the purchase price for the equity investment. To secure the Loan Agreement, the invested company created in favor of the Company a first ranking floating charge over all of the invested company’s assets and a fixed charge over the invested company’s tangible equipment.

  2. In July, 2005, the Company signed a share purchase agreement with another unrelated privately-held company and certain of its shareholders to acquire 19.5% of its ordinary shares for a total purchase price in the amount of $ 670.

  3. In August, 2005, the Company signed a Term Sheet with another unrelated privately-held company to invest $ 500 in consideration of 14.29% of Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock. The Company would also receive a warrant to acquire up to 33% and/or 49% of the unrelated company’s share capital, exercisable for up to 24 months from Closing. Pre money valuation of the unrelated company for such purpose shall be deemed to increase at such time by 10% at the 12 months anniversary from Closing and by another 10% at the 24 months anniversary from Closing.

Exhibit 2

OPERATING RESULTS AND FINANCIAL REVIEW IN CONNECTION WITH THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2005.

        You should read this discussion with the consolidated financial statements and other financial information included in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2004 and our interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2005 attached as Exhibit 1 to our Report on Form 6-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 27, 2005.

        Statements in this Report on Form 6-K concerning our business outlook or future economic performance; anticipated revenues, expenses or other financial items; product introductions and plans and objectives related thereto; and statements concerning assumptions made or expectations as to any future events, conditions, performance or other matters, are “forward-looking statements” as that term is defined under the United States Federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements are subject to various risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those stated in such statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those set forth under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2004, as well as those discussed elsewhere in that Annual Report and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Overview

        We design, develop and market enabling technologies and products for the transmission of high quality voice, data and fax over packet networks. Newly developed equipment based on advanced voice communications standards enables packet networks to carry voice and data more efficiently and at a lower cost than traditional telephone networks by using substantially less network capacity. Our products are designed to enable our customers to build packet voice networking equipment that provides comparable communication quality to that of traditional telephone networks. Our communication boards are the building blocks for connecting traditional telephone networks with packet voice networks and provide high performance and large capacity on open telecommunications platform-based gateways. We have continued to broaden our offerings as we have expanded in the last few years from selling chips to boards, subsystems, media gateway systems and media servers.

        Our headquarters are in Airport City, Lod, Israel and we have additional offices in the United States, Europe, the Far East, and Latin America.

        In the six months ended June 30, 2005, one customer, Nortel Networks, accounted for 14.2% of our total revenues compared to 19.7% of our revenues in the same period in 2004. Based on our experience, we expect that our largest customers may change from period to period. If we lose a large customer and fail to add new customers to replace lost revenue, our operating results may be materially adversely affected.

        Part of our strategy involves the acquisition of complementary businesses and technologies. In May 2004, we acquired Ai-Logix, a leading provider of advanced voice recording hardware technology. This acquisition enhanced our board line business and provided an entry into the call recording market and the computer telephony integration market by leveraging our VoP expertise with the technology and strategic partnerships of Ai-Logix.

        Revenues. Our revenues increased to $28.5 million in the second quarter of 2005 from $19.1 million in the second quarter of 2004. Revenues in the first half of 2005 increased to $55.5 million from $34.4 million for the same period of 2004. The increase in revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2005, was primarily due to an increase of $9.0 million in sales in the United States derived mainly from the inclusion of the results of Ai-Logix for the full period in 2005 compared to from May in the 2004 period, as well as an increase of $7.5 million in sales in Europe.

        Gross Profit. Our cost of revenues includes the manufacturing cost of hardware, quality assurance, overhead related to manufacturing activity and technology licensing fees payable to third parties. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues increased to 59.2% for the second quarter of 2005 from 57.9% for the second quarter of 2004. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues increased to 59.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from 57.7% for the same period in 2004. The increase in our gross profit percentage was primarily a result of higher sales volume that allowed us to leverage our operations as our manufacturing overhead was spread over a larger sales base. The increase in gross profit percentage was also due to our ability to offset the continued decline in average selling prices of our products with a reduction in manufacturing costs. The reduction in manufacturing costs was primarily due to a reduction in our raw material costs.

- 3 -



        Research and Development Expenses, net. Our net research and development expenses consist primarily of compensation and related costs of employees engaged in ongoing research and development activities, development-related raw materials and the cost of subcontractors. Our net research and development expenses increased to $6.1 million in the second quarter of 2005 from $4.7 million in the second quarter of 2004 and to $11.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005 from $9.1 million in the same period in 2004. As a percentage of revenues, these expenses decreased to 21.4% in the three months ended June 30, 2005 from 24.8% in the same period in 2004, and to 21.2% in the six months ended June 30, 2005 from 26.5% in the same period in 2004. The increase in net research and development expenses was primarily due to additions to our research and development personnel resulting from the acquisition of Ai-Logix during the second quarter of 2004. We expect that research and development expenses will continue to increase in absolute dollar terms as a result of our continued development of new products.

        Selling and Marketing Expenses. Our selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of compensation for selling and marketing personnel, as well as exhibition, travel and related expenses. Our selling and marketing expenses increased to $6.5 million in the second quarter of 2005 from $4.6 million in the second quarter of 2004 and to $12.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005 from $8.9 million for the same period in 2004. As a percentage of revenues, these expenses decreased to 22.6% in the three months ended June 30, 2005 from 24.2% in the same period in 2004, and to 22.2% in the six months ended June 30, 2005 from 25.8% in the same period in 2004. The increase in these expenses was primarily due to an increase in selling and marketing personnel and associated expenses, as well as expenses for additional personnel as a result of the acquisition of Ai-Logix. We expect that selling and marketing expenses will continue to increase in absolute dollar terms as a result of an expected increase in our sales force and marketing activities.

        General and Administrative Expenses. Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation for finance, human resources and general management, rent, network and information systems and bad debt reserve, as well as insurance and professional services expenses. Our general and administrative expenses increased to $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2005 from $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2004 and to $2.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005 from $1.9 million in the same period in 2004. As a percentage of revenues, these expenses decreased to 5.0% in the three months ended June 30, 2005 from 6.1% in the same period in 2004, and to 5.1% in the six months ended June 30, 2005 from 5.6% in the same period in 2004. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily the result of consolidating the expenses of our Ai-Logix subsidiary, which was acquired in May 2004, as well as amortization of intangible assets resulting from the acquisition.

        Financial Income, Net. Our financial income consists primarily of interest derived on Cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, long-term bank deposits and structured notes, net of interest accrued in connection with our senior convertible notes and bank charges. Our financial income, net, was $546,000 during the second quarter of 2005 compared to $494,000 for the same period of 2004. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, our financial income, net, was $874,000 as compared to $1.2 million during the same period in 2004. The decrease in financial income, net, was due a reduction in cash, excluding the net proceeds from our sale of senior convertible notes, and an increase in projected forward rates which affected the financial income from our structured notes during the first half of 2005. This decrease was partially offset by higher interest rates on our short term deposits and on our marketable securities and interest income, net, on the $120.2 million of net proceeds from our sale of senior convertible notes in November 2004.

- 4 -



        Equity in Losses of Affiliated Company. Our equity in losses of an affiliated company increased to $214,000 in the second quarter of 2005 from $150,000 in the second quarter of 2004. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, our equity in losses of an affiliated company was $470,000 as compared to $229,000 for the same period of 2004. We believe that the products being developed by the affiliated company may enable us to enter new markets and to offer new products.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        We have financed our operations from the remaining proceeds from prior public offerings of our Ordinary shares and the net proceeds of approximately $120.2 million from a private placement in November 2004 of $125.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 2.00% Senior Convertible Notes due 2024. As of June 30, 2005, we had $136.2 million in cash and cash equivalents and short term marketable securities, and $78.5 million in long-term marketable securities, long-term bank deposits and structured notes.

        We used $10.0 million of our cash in May 2004 and an additional $10 million of our cash in April 2005 in connection with the acquisition of Ai-Logix. We paid $2.5 million in connection with the acquisition of the UAS product group in the first half of 2004. In addition, we paid $4.9 million to Nortel in 2004, based on the amount of orders for UAS products that we received from Nortel. These payments were offset against related revenues earned by us from these orders.

        Our operating activities provided cash in the amount of $6.7 million in the first half of 2005, primarily due to our net income of $6.1 million, an increase of $2.3 million in trade payables and $1.6 million of depreciation expenses, which were partially offset by an increase of $3.3 million in our trade receivables. Our operating activities provided cash in the amount of $2.0 million in the first half of 2004, primarily due to our net income of $796,000, depreciation expenses of $1.5 million and an increase of $1.0 million in trade payables, which were partially offset by an increase of $1.1 million in our inventories.

        In the first half of 2005, our investing activities used cash in the amount of $40.5 million, primarily due to investments of $29.3 million in short term and long term marketable securities and structured notes, and a payment of $10.0 million in connection with the acquisition of Ai-Logix as a result of the achievement of revenue milestones by the Ai-Logix business during 2004 and 2005. In the first half of 2004, our investing activities used cash in the amount of $15.2 million primarily due to payments of $8.7 million in connection with the acquisition of Ai-Logix, net of cash received, and $2.5 million in connection with the acquisition of the UAS product group. Our capital expenditures were $960,000 in the first half of 2005, and $2.6 million in the first half of 2004. The majority of our capital investment has been for testing equipment, an enterprise resources planning system, computers, peripheral equipment, software, office furniture and leasehold improvements. We used working capital to finance these expenditures.

- 5 -



        In the first half of 2005, our financing activities provided $2.1 million, primarily due to proceeds of $2.2 million from the issuance of shares upon exercise of options and the sale of shares under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan. In the first half of 2004, financing activities provided $3.2 million, due to proceeds from the issuance of shares upon exercise of options and the sale of shares under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

        We anticipate that our operating expenses will be a material use of our cash resources for the foreseeable future. We believe that our current working capital is sufficient to meet our present cash requirements. Part of our strategy is to pursue acquisition opportunities. If we do not have available sufficient cash to finance our operations and the completion of one or more acquisitions, we may be required to obtain additional debt or equity financing. We cannot be certain that we will be able to obtain, if required, additional financing on acceptable terms or at all.
