ITEM 16F.
Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
 
In November 2012, our board of directors and the audit committee approved our engagement of Brightman Almagor Zohar & Co. to audit our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012.  Our shareholders ratified such appointment on December 26, 2012.
 
In November 2012, we notified our former auditor, Fahn Kanne & Co., that our audit committee and board of directors had decided to engage a different firm to audit our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012. The reports of Fahn Kanne & Co. on the financial statements for 2010 and 2011 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to audit scope or accounting principle, but were qualified regarding the uncertainty as to whether our company would continue as a going concern.
 
In connection with its audits for 2010 and 2011, there had been no disagreements with Fahn Kanne & Co. on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of Fahn Kanne & Co., would have caused them to make reference thereto in their report on the financial statements for such years.
 
During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2011, respectively, and through the date of appointment, neither we nor any person on our behalf has consulted with Brightman Almagor Zohar & Co. regarding either (1) the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements, and (2) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement or reportable event pursuant to Item 304(a)(1)(iv) or (v) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders of
SuperCom Ltd. (formerly Vuance ltd.)

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of SuperCom Ltd and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit 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, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, based on our audits, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of SuperCom Ltd. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012, and the results of their operations, and their cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Vuance Ltd. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2011 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit 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, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, based on our audits, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Vuance Ltd. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011, and the results of their operations, and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1f to the financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F, but not presented herein, the Company has incurred substantial recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations and, as of December 31, 2011, the Company had a working capital deficit and total shareholders' deficit. These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in the aforementioned Note, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regards to these matters are also described in the aforementioned Note. The financial statements as of December 31, 2011 and for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2011 do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Sale of subsidiary:
 
During October 2010, the Company sold its entire equity interest in its wholly owned Hong Kong subsidiary, SuperCom Asia Pacific Limited (“SAP”), for no consideration. As part of this sale, the Company assigned to the purchaser certain outstanding loans due to the Company by SAP in the amount of $1,400. As result of the sale, the Company realized a capital gain of $272 in the fourth quarter of 2010.
 
 
d.
Extinguishment of liabilities
 
On November 3, 2010, the Company submitted to the District Court in Petach-Tikva, Israel a request to summon meetings of creditors of the Company in order to approve a proposed arrangement between the Company and its creditors (including convertible bond holders) in accordance with Section 350 of the Israeli Companies Law 5759-1999. The proposed arrangement involved an allotment of ordinary shares or warrants to purchase ordinary shares of the Company to certain of its creditors at a price of $0.09 per ordinary share against 40% of the total outstanding debt to the creditors, in total satisfaction of the entire debt owed to the Company’s creditors (thus forgiving and waiving 60% of the total outstanding debt of the Company). The proposed arrangement was based on the proposal which was approved by the general meeting of the shareholders of the Company  on September 12, 2010. The Company convened the meetings of its creditors to approve the proposed debt arrangement during February and March 2011. On March 15, 2011, the Company filed an application with the Petach-Tikva District Court for the approval of the creditor arrangement.
 
On July 18, 2011, the Discrict Court determined not to approve the  application, mainly due to an objection to the proposed arrangement filed by one of the Company’s secured creditors, Special Situations Funds ("SSF"), which later assigned its convertible bonds on November 8, 2011 to Mr. Eliyahu Trabelsi (see also Notes 11 and 13f). In February 2012, following the approval of the board of directors, the Company decided to proceed with the arrangement which was approved by its general meeting without further proceedings in the District Court.
 
As of December 31, 2010, creditors holding  a total outstanding debt of $271 had accepted the Company's debt arrangement proposal. The Company allotted a total of 1,206,142 warrants to purchase ordinary shares of the Company to  those creditors (see also Note 12f2). In accordance with ASC Topic 470-50-40, the Company recorded  $124 as a gain from extinguishment of debt based on the difference between the carrying amount of the liabilities extinguished ($271) and the fair value of the warrants allotted ($147), which gain was credited directly to additional paid-in capital.
 
During 2011, creditors holding  outstanding debt of $3,369  accepted the Company's debt arrangement proposal. The Company allotted a total of 1,081,871 warrants and 300,000 options (with an exercise price of nil) to purchase ordinary shares of the Company and 13,538,844 ordinary shares of the Company (see also Note 11) to those creditors. In accordance with ASC Topic 470-50-40, the Company recorded  $2,149 as a gain on extinguishment of debts based on the difference between the carrying amount of the liabilities extinguished ($3,369) and the fair value of the warrants and options allotted ($1,220), which was gain credited directly to additional paid-in capital (see also Note 12).

Extinguishment of liabilities (cont.)
 
Following the approval of the board of directors, during 2012, certain creditors and convertible bond holders including Sigma Wave Ltd (“Sigma”) and Mr. Eliyahu Trabelsi, accepted the Company's debt arrangement proposal for $3,910 of outstanding debt. The Company allotted to Sigma and Mr. Eliyahu Trabelsi a total of 14,585,155 ordinary shares of the Company (see also Note 11), and granted a former service provider a warrant to purchase 1,384,000 ordinary shares. In accordance with ASC Topic 470-50-40, the Company recorded $2,417 as a gain on extinguishment of debt based on the difference between the carrying amounts of the liability extinguished ($3,910) and the fair value of (i) the ordinary shares granted ($1,240), (ii) the warrant  granted ($126),  and (iii) the amount of liability extinguished on account of shares ($127).
 
 
e.
Concentration of risk that may have a significant impact on the Company:
 
Throughout the reporting periods the Company derived most of its revenues from two major customers. See also Note 14c.
 
The Company purchases certain services and products used by it to generate revenues in its projects and sales from several sole suppliers. Although there are only a limited number of manufacturers of those  services and products, management believe that other suppliers could provide similar services and products on comparable terms without affecting operating results.
 
 
f.
During the year 2010, the Company's board of directors elected new board of directors recommended by Sigma Wave. Sigma acquired convertible bonds held by Brevan Howard Master Fund Limited (“BH”) (see Note 11). The new board proposed a debt to equity conversion to certain creditors and bond holders, which was later approved by the Company's general assembly. The conversion which was completed in 2012, reduced the Company’s debt by over $6 million.
 
The Company implemented a restructuring plan starting in the fourth quarter of 2010 which included: (i) a major reduction in operating expenses by reducing general and administrative costs and optimizing  the Company’s  global sales network; (ii) increasing the Company’s  gross  profit margin by negotiating better terms with suppliers and subcontractors; (iii) the sale of unprofitable subsidiaries and cost cutting in other subsidiaries; (iv) discontinuance  of activities and  divisions that were not synergistic with the Company’s core operations; (v) increased  sales in the company core competence markets; (vi) increased activities in more lucrative and rapid growing vertical markets; and (vii) recruitment of highly experienced executives and market experts to support the Company’s  broadening activity.

NOTE 2:-
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("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. As applicable to these consolidated financial statements, the most significant estimates and assumptions relate to allowance for doubtful account and contingencies.
 
 
b.
Financial statements in U.S. dollars:
 
Most of the revenues of the Company and its subsidiaries are received in U.S. dollars. In addition, a substantial portion of the costs of the Company and its subsidiaries are incurred in U.S. dollars. Therefore, management believes that the dollar is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company and its subsidiaries operate. Thus, the functional and reporting currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar.
 
Monetary accounts maintained in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are re-measured into U.S. dollars in accordance with the standards of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"). All transaction gains and losses from the re-measurement of monetary balance sheet items are reflected in the statements of operations as financial income or financial expenses as appropriate.
 
 
c.
Principles of consolidation:
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries in Israel and the United States. Material intercompany transactions and balances were eliminated upon consolidation. Material profits from intercompany sales, not yet realized outside the group, were also eliminated.
 
 
d.
Cash and cash equivalents:
 
The Company considers unrestricted short-term highly liquid investments originally purchased with maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.
 
 
e.
Allowance for doubtful accounts:
 
The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined with respect to specific amounts the Company has determined to be doubtful of collection. In determining the allowance for doubtful accounts, the Company considers, among other things, its past experience with such customers and the information available regarding such customers.
 
 
f.
Inventories:
 
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Inventory write-offs are mainly provided to cover risks arising from slow-moving items or technological obsolescence. Cost is determined as follows:

Inventories (cont.):
 
Raw  materials, parts and supplies - using the “moving average cost" method or the “first in first out” method.
 
Finished products - on the basis of direct manufacturing costs.
 
 
h.
Property and equipment:
 
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation.
 
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method, over the estimated useful lives, at the following annual rates:
 
   
%
     
Computers and peripheral equipment

Office furniture and equipment
 
6 - 20
Leasehold improvements
 
Over the shorter of the term of the lease or the life of the asset

 
i.
Impairment of long-lived assets and intangible assets:
 
The Company's long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets are reviewed for impairment 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 asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of by sale are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell.
 
 
j.
Convertible Bonds:
 
The Company applied the provisions of ASC Topic 470 – 10 – 45 “Debt – Other presentation matters” with respect to a financing agreement signed after December 31, 2010, but before the issuance of the 2010 financial statements and accordingly, presented as of December 31, 2010, $4,262 of  convertible bonds  as a long term liability.
 
 
k.
Accrued severance pay and severance pay fund:
 
The liabilities of the Company for severance pay of its Israeli employees are calculated pursuant to Israel's Severance Pay Law. Employees are entitled to one month's salary for each year of employment, or portion thereof. The Company's liability for all its employees is presented under "accrued severance pay". The Company deposits on a monthly basis to severance pay funds and insurance policies. The value of these policies is presented as an asset on the Company's balance sheet.
 
The deposited funds include accrued income up to the balance sheet date. The deposited funds may be withdrawn only upon the fulfillment of the Company’s obligation pursuant to Israel's Severance Pay Law or labor agreements.
 
Severance expenses for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 amounted to  $10, $15 and $57, respectively.

l.
Revenue recognition:
 
The Company and its subsidiaries generate their revenues from the sale of products, maintenance, royalties and long term contracts (including training and installation).
 
Product sales are recognized in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition” (“SAB No. 104”), when persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, delivery of the product has occurred or services have been rendered, the fee is fixed or determinable, collectability is reasonably assured, and inconsequential or perfunctory performance obligations remain. If the product requires specific customer acceptance, revenue is deferred until customer acceptance occurs or the acceptance provision lapses.
 
The Company is not obligated to accept returned products or issue credit for returned products, unless a product return has been approved by the Company in advance and according to specific terms and conditions. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had an allowance for customer returns in the amount of $6.
 
The Company recognizes certain long-term contract revenues in accordance with ASC Topic 605-35, "Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts". Pursuant to ASC Topic 605-35, revenues from these contracts are recognized under the percentage of completion method.  The Company measures the percentage of completion based on output or input criteria, such as contract milestones, percentage of engineering completion or number of units shipped, as applicable to each contract. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made during the period in which such losses are first identified, in the amount of the estimated loss on the entire contract. As of December 31, 2012, no such estimated losses were identified.
 
The Company believes that the use of the percentage of completion method is appropriate, since the Company has the ability, using also an independent subcontractor's evaluation, to make reasonably dependable estimates of the extent of progress made towards completion, contract revenues and contract costs.  In addition, contracts executed include provisions that clearly specify the enforceable rights of the parties to the contract, the consideration to be exchanged and the manner and terms of settlement. In all cases, the Company expects to perform its contractual obligations and the parties are expected to satisfy their obligations under the contract.

 
m.
Revenue recognition

In contracts that do not meet all the conditions mentioned above, the Company utilized zero estimates of profits; equal amounts of revenue and cost are recognized until results can be estimated with sufficient accuracy.
 
Revenues and costs recognized pursuant to ASC Topic 605-35 on contracts in progress are subject to management estimates. Actual results could differ from these estimates. As of December 31, 2011 and 2012, all the long-term contracts were completed and their related revenues were recognized in full.
 
Revenues for maintenance services are recognized over the term of the contracts. The warranty period is usually 12 months. Based primarily on historical experience, the Company does not provide for warranty costs when revenue is recognized, since such costs are not material.
 
Deferred revenues and customer advances include amounts received from customers for which revenues have not been recognized.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

The Company provides its customers with a license to issue IDs, passports and driver's licenses and it is entitled to royalties upon the issuance of each document by its customers. Such royalties are recognized when the issuances are reported to the Company (usually on a monthly basis).
 
 
n.
Shipping and handling costs:

Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are reflected as revenues while the related shipping and handling costs are included in cost of revenues. To date, shipping and handling costs have not been material.

 
o.
Research and development costs:
 
Research and development costs (other than software) are expensed as incurred.

 
p.
Income taxes:
 
The Company and its subsidiaries account for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, "Income Taxes". This Standard  prescribes the use of the liability method whereby deferred tax asset and liability account balances are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of  the 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 and its subsidiaries provide a valuation allowance, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to their estimated realizable value.

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC Topic 740-10, which prescribes detailed guidance for the financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. According to ASC Topic 740-10, tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition and measurement threshold. The Company’s accounting policy is to classify interest and penalties relating to uncertain tax positions under income taxes, however the Company did not recognize such items in its fiscal 2012, 2011 and 2010 financial statements.

 
q.
Concentrations of credit risk:
 
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash deposits and trade receivables. The Company's trade receivables are derived from sales to limited number of customers located primarily in Eastern Europe, the United States and Israel. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition. The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined with respect to specific debts that the Company has determined to be doubtful of collection.

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash deposits are deposited with major banks in Israel and the United States. Management believes that such financial institutions are financially sound and, accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to these financial instruments.
 
The Company has no significant off-balance-sheet credit risks, such as foreign exchange contracts, option contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements.

r.
Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share:
 
Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed based on the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during each year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are computed based on the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during each year, plus the dilutive potential of stock options and warrants outstanding during the year using the treasury stock method and the dilutive potential, if any, of convertible bonds using the “if-converted method”.
 
The number of potential shares from the conversion of convertible bonds, options and warrants that have been excluded from the calculation were 512,080,  2,733,688 and 4,557,840 for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

 
s.
Fair value of financial instruments:
 
At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash deposits, current trade receivables, other accounts receivable, trade payables and other accounts payable approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of such financial instruments.
 
 
t.
Accounting for stock-based compensation:
 
Share-based compensation, including grants of stock options, is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations as an operating expense, based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant.  The fair value of stock-based compensation is estimated using an option-pricing model.
 
The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.
 
The Company estimates the fair value of employee stock options using a Black-Scholes valuation model. The Company amortizes compensation costs using the graded vesting attribution method over the vesting period, net of estimated forfeitures.
 
 
u.
Discontinued operations:
 
The Company applies ASC Topic 205-20, "Presentation of Financial Statements - Discontinued Operation". According to ASC Topic 205-20, when a component of an entity, has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale, the results of its operations, including the gain or loss on the disposed component, required to be classified as discontinued operations and the assets and liabilities of such component should be classified as assets and liabilities attributed to discontinued operations if both of the following conditions are met: a) the operations and cash flows of the component have been (or will be) eliminated from the ongoing operations of the company as a result of the disposal transaction, and b) the entity will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the component after the disposal transaction.

NOTE 5:-
INVESTMENT IN A MAJORITY-OWNED COMPANY
 
In December 1997, the Company set up SuperCom Slovakia, owned equally with a third-party investor, in order to execute a transaction with the Ministry of Interior of the Slovak Republic.
 
In March 2000, the Company purchased an additional 16% of SuperCom Slovakia, at a nominal value of $1, and granted such third-party investor a $275 loan, bearing interest of 0.7% per month. Interest is compounded on the outstanding principal balance of the loan and is to be repaid under the same conditions as the outstanding principal balance. The third-party investor has an option to buy back 16% of the shares for $1 upon repayment of the loan to the Company. During 2006, the Company wrote down the entire loan balance due to litigation developments regarding this issue and due to low probability of collection of the loan. See Note 10c2. During all the reported periods, the subsidiary had no operating activity.

The Company currently owns 66% of SuperCom Slovakia's outstanding shares and accounts for the investment using the equity method of accounting due to the substantive participation rights held by the non-controlling interest holder which impacts the Company’s ability to exert control over the investee.

Litigation:

In April 2004, the Department for Resources Supply of the Ministry of Ukraine (the "Department") filed a claim with the International Commercial Arbitration Court at the Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (the “Arbitration Court”) to declare a contract dated April 9, 2002, between the Company and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Ukraine (the "Ministry"), as void due to defects in the proceedings by which the Company was awarded the contract.  In July, 2004, the Arbitration Court declared the contract as void.  On April 27, 2005, the Company appealed the decision to the High Commercial Court of the Ukraine.  In May 2005, the Department filed a new statement of claim with the Arbitration Court for restitution of $1,048 paid to the Company by the Department under the contract.  On September 27, 2005, the Company received an un favored award issued by the Arbitration Court in the second claim (the "Award").  On December 12, 2005, the Company was informed that the Ukrainian Supreme Court had dismissed its appeal regarding the July 2004 decision.

On September 28, 2008, the Department filed a petition (the "Petition") in the Central District Court of Israel (the "Court") under which the Department requested the confirmation of the Award as a valid foreign arbitral award under the laws of the State of Israel.
 
In  November 2008, the Company filed with the Court an objection to the Petition and a petition to declare the Award null and void. The Company's objection and petition rely on what the Company believes to be well-based evidence relating to the manner under which the arbitration proceedings were conducted by the Arbitration Court and against their validity and legality. The Company believes that the arbitration proceedings were conducted unfairly and jeopardized its basic rights. The Company's claims are also corroborated by a contrary legal opinion written by one of the arbitrators ("Arbitrator").
 
During the years 2009 until December 2011, several court sessions where held regarding the Petition, including the testimony of the independent arbitrator, while the Department’s witnesses (including the other two Ukrainian arbitrators) did not appear in court at the times scheduled for their testimony.
 
On December 5, 2011 the Company submitted a summation in writing. However, the Department did  not submit  its summation and its counsel notified the Court that his appointment as the Department’s counsel had been cancelled.
 
On April 15, 2012, the Court dismissed the Department’s Petition and also declared the Award null and void.

On October 30, 2003, SuperCom Slovakia received an award from the International Arbitral Center of the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber, in a case against the Ministry of Interior of the Slovak Republic (“the Ministry”) relating to an agreement signed on March 17, 1998.  Upon the Arbitral Award, the Ministry of Interior of the Slovak Republic was ordered to pay SuperCom Slovakia  SKK 80,000,000 (approximately $3,464 as of December 31, 2012) plus interest accruing from March 1999. In addition, the Ministry of Interior of the Slovak Republic was ordered to pay the costs of arbitration in the amount of EUR 42,716 (approximately $56 as of December 31, 2012) and SuperCom Slovakia’s legal fees in the amount of EUR 63,611 (approximately $84 as of December 31, 2012).  The Company initiated an enforcement proceeding to collect the arbitral awards.  The Ministry of Interior of the Slovak Republic filed a claim with the Commercial Court in Vienna, Austria on February 10, 2004, whereby it challenged and requested to set aside the arbitral award.  During September 2005, the Commercial Court of Vienna dismissed the claim.  On October 21, 2005, the Ministry of the Interior of the Slovak Republic filed an appeal.  On August 25, 2006, the Austrian Appellate Court rejected the appeal and ordered the Ministry to reimburse Supercom Slovakia´s costs of the appellate proceeding in the amount of EUR 6,688 within 14 days.  On October 3, 2006, the Company was informed that the Ministry had decided not to file an extraordinary appeal to the Austrian Supreme Court’s decision rejecting its appeal and the award became final. To date, the Company’s efforts to enforce the Commercial Court’s decision have been unsuccessful, and the Company had hired new counsel (on a success based fee)  to support its efforts to enforce the award.

On December 16, 1999, Secu-Systems Ltd. filed a lawsuit with the District Court in Tel-Aviv-Jaffa jointly and severally against the Company and its former subsidiary, InkSure Ltd. (“InkSure”), seeking a permanent injunction and damages arising from the printing method applied to certain products developed by InkSure. In its lawsuit, Secu-Systems asserted claims of breach of a confidentiality agreement between Secu-Systems and the Company, unjust enrichment of the Company and InkSure, breach of fiduciary duties owed to Secu-Systems by the Company and InkSure and misappropriation of trade secrets and damage to Secu-Systems’ property.  On March 15, 2006, the Court denied the breach of contract claim, but upheld the claim for misappropriation of trade secrets and ordered InkSure and the Company to cease all activity involving the use of the confidential knowledge and/or confidential information of Secu-Systems. In addition, the court ordered the Company and Inksure to provide a report certified by an accountant setting forth in full the income and/or benefit received by InkSure and the Company as a result of the infringing activity through the date of the judgment, and ordered the Company and Inksure, jointly and severally, to pay to Secu-Systems compensation in the amount of NIS 100,000 ($26 as of December 31, 2012) and legal expenses as well as attorney’s fees in the amount of NIS 30,000 ($8 as of December 31, 2011) (which was paid during 2006). Secu-Systems filed an appeal, and the Company and InkSure filed a counter-appeal, on the above ruling.
 
During the years thereafter several court sessions were held, judgments were made and appeals were filed by each of the parties. On December 15, 2009, the Court suggested that the parties try a mediation process in order to endeavor to come to an agreement. All the parties agreed to the suggestion.
 
In the course of the mediation process, during 2010, a mediation agreement in principle was reached. On November 30, 2010, the mediator determined that the sum payable by the Company to Secu-System is NIS 893,000 (approximately $239 as of December 31, 2012). The mediation agreement was approved by the Court on February 5, 2012. The Company paid the agreed upon amount in several payments during 2011 and 2012. As of December 31, 2012, there was no liability outstanding  related to this litigation.

The Company has  an objection to the Claim and a petition for a recovery by  the Company of its  direct loses due to the supplier’s  lack of performance.

A preliminary court session was held regarding the Petition, and additional court sessions are scheduled for July 2013.

NOTE 11:-        CONVERTIBLE BONDS
 
In November 2006, the Company raised $3,156.5 through the issuance of units consisting of convertible bonds and warrants. Units valued at $2,500 were issued to Brevan Howard Master Fund Limited (“BH”), and units valued at $656.5 were issued to Special Situation Funds (“SSF”), based on the participation rights provided in a private placement during 2005. According to their original terms, the convertible bonds were to mature three years from the date of issuance and bear interest at an annual rate of 8% (which was updated as described below). Any withholding and other taxes payable with respect to the interest was to be grossed up and paid by the Company (approximately 3% of the principal of the bonds), payment of interest was to be net of any tax. The investors were also granted warrants entitling them to acquire a total of 134,154 ordinary shares at an original exercise price of $5 per share during the next five years.
 
In November 2007, due to a breach of certain conditions of the convertible bonds, the investors had the right to accelerate the repayment of the principal amount of the bonds with all the interest payable until the maturity date of the bonds. However, the Company signed an amendment to the agreement with the investors under which the Company was required to pay to one of the investors interest  of $276 (plus any withholding and other taxes payable with respect to the interest (approximately 3% of the principal of the bonds)) and in respect of the other investors, the Company changed the conversion ratio of the convertible bonds to $4.25. In consideration, the investors waived their right to accelerate the repayment of the convertible bonds. The Company accounted for this amendment as a modification of the convertible bonds.

In November 2007, June 2008, August 12, 2009, following a breach of the original and the amended terms of the convertible bonds, the Company and BH agreed to waive compliance and amend certain provisions of the convertible bonds to, among other things: (i) increase the applicable rate of interest to 12% and by 0.5% every 180 days thereafter; (ii) make monthly payments of $41 against the total amount due under the convertible bonds  over an eight (8) year period; and (iii) increase the number of warrants granted to 159,375 and reduce their exercise price to $0.40 per share. The modification was determined to be a debt extinguishment.

On November 9, 2009, the Company entered into an Amendment Agreement (the “Amendment Agreement”) with SSF (which held  $624 of the convertible bonds). Pursuant to the Amendment Agreement, in exchange for security in certain assets of the Company,  SSF agreed to waive compliance and the Company agreed  to amend certain provisions of the convertible bonds to, among other thing: (i) increase the applicable rate of interest to 12% and by 0.5% every 180 days afterward; (ii) make monthly payments of $10 against the total amount due under the convertible bonds over an eight (8) year period; (iii) reduce the conversion price of the convertible bonds  to $3 and reduce the exercise price of the warrants to $0.40; and (iv) increase the number of warrants granted to 31,238.

On August 24, 2010, BH entered into an Absolute Assignment and Transfer of Bond and Warrant (“Assignment”) with Sigma Wave Ltd. (“Sigma”), an Israeli company and a controlling shareholder of the Company. Pursuant to the Assignment, BH  assigned to Sigma all of its rights, title, obligations and interest in the convertible bonds and warrants held by it  as  of September 16, 2010.

On November 8, 2011, SSF assigned to Mr. Eliyahu Trabelsi all of their rights under the convertible bonds and warrants held by them.
 
The Assignments had no impact on the Company’s assets or liabilities or its financial results.

A summary of the Company's stock option activity and related information is as follows (cont.):
