Risk
Factors |
|
• |
the frequent need to compete against companies
or teams of companies with more financial and marketing resources and more experience than we have in bidding on and performing major

and effort necessary to prepare bids and proposals for contracts that may not be awarded to us; |
|
• |
the need to accurately estimate the resources
and cost structure that will be required to service any fixed-price contract that we are awarded; and |
|
• |
the expense and delay that may arise if
our competitors protest or challenge new contract awards made to us pursuant to competitive bidding or subsequent contract modifications,
and the risk that any of these protests or challenges could result in the resubmission of bids on modified specifications, or in termination,
reduction or modification of the awarded contract. |
|
• |
issue additional securities that would dilute

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of SuperCom Ltd. (the Company) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the two years ended December 31, 2021 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the two years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

◾
|

|
◾
|

In December 2019, a new strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. During February until November of 2020, COVID-19 has spread globally, including in Israel, Asia, Europe, and America. In response to the COVID-19 virus, countries have taken different measures in relation to prevention and containment including lock-down and quarantine. The COVID-19 virus continues to impact worldwide economic activity and pose the risk that we or our employees, contractors, suppliers, customers and other business partners may be prevented from conducting certain business activities for an indefinite period of time, including due to lockdowns that had been mandated by governmental authorities or otherwise elected by companies as a preventive measure.
During 2021, The company’s business, trading and operations were impacted materially by COVID-19. COVID-19 related imposed government restrictions in California, Israel and other geographies limited our ability to interact with our clients to provide full services as well as adding new clients to our monitoring programs given court systems shutdown. During most of the year 2021, the government imposed lockdowns and travel restrictions also hindered proper project deployment, productions, support, sales and R&D processes: (i) had prevented our sales teams to meet customers and demonstrate our products, (ii) had prevented our support teams to travel and visit customers in order to provide the adequate support and upgrades to our products (iii) had prevented our customers to complete tenders, purchases, (iv) had prevented proper collection of our client debt due to travel limitation or liquidity problems with our customers, (v) had prevented our customers and partners to complete the integrations and deployments of the Company current contacts. As the Company relies on manufacturers of components of our products in Far East, Israel, and USA, some of such components had not produced and/or shipped to the Company or to its customers.
COVID-19 continuous spread and protective measures taken by the authorities may continue to adversely affect our future results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

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 the financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. As applicable to these financial statements, the most significant estimates and assumptions include (i) Revenue Recognition; (ii) Allowance for Doubtful Accounts; (iii) Deferred Income Taxes and (iv) measurement of the fair value of intangible assets and goodwill.
|
|
b.
|
Financial statements in U.S. dollars:
Most of the revenues of the Company are received in U.S. dollars. In addition, a substantial portion of the costs of the Company are incurred in U.S. dollars. Therefore, management believes that the dollar is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operate. Thus, the functional and reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar.
Transactions and balances denominated in U.S. dollars are presented at their original amounts. Monetary accounts denominated in currencies other than the dollar are re-measured into dollars in accordance with ASC No. 830, "Foreign Currency Matters". 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. Intercompany transactions and balances were eliminated upon consolidation. 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 equivalents. The Company has not held any cash equivalents during 2021 and 2020.

Restricted Cash:
Restricted cash held in interest bearing saving accounts which are used as a security for the Company's Israeli facility leasehold bank guarantee, and as a security for ongoing terms of the contracts with existing customers and commercial tenders guarantees.
|
|
f.
|
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.
|
|
g.
|
Inventories:
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory write-offs are mainly provided to cover risks arising from slow-moving items or technological obsolescence. Cost is determined for all types of inventory using the moving average cost method.
|
|
h.
|
Property and equipment:
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation.

|
i.
|
Intangible assets:
Intangible assets that are not considered to have an indefinite useful life are amortized using units of production and the straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, as noted below. Recoverability of these assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If the assets are considered to be impaired, the amount of any impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the impaired assets.
Intangible assets and their useful lives are as follows:

Acquisition-related intangible assets:
The Company accounts for its business combinations in accordance with ASC 805 “Business Combinations” and with ASC 350-20 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“ASC 350-20”). ASC 805-10 specifies the accounting for business combinations and the criteria for recognizing and reporting intangible assets apart from goodwill.
Acquisition-related intangible assets result from the Company’s acquisitions of businesses accounted for under the purchase method and consist of the value of identifiable intangible assets including developed software products, brand and patents, as well as goodwill. Goodwill is the amount by which the acquisition cost exceeds the fair values of identifiable acquired net assets on the date of purchase. Acquisition-related definite lived intangible assets are reported at cost, net of accumulated amortization.
|
|
j.
|
Goodwill:
The Company’s goodwill reflects the excess of the consideration paid or transferred including the fair value of contingent consideration over the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired. The goodwill impairment test is performed by evaluating an initial qualitative assessment of the likelihood of impairment. If this step indicates that the qualitative assessment does not result in a more likely than not indication of impairment, no further impairment testing is required. If it does result in a more likely than not indication of impairment, the impairment test is performed.
In step one of the impairment test, the Company compares the fair value of the reporting unit to the carrying value of the reporting unit. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets allocated to that unit, goodwill is not impaired, and no further testing is required. If the fair value is less than the carrying value of the reporting unit, then the second step of the impairment test is performed to measure the amount of the impairment.
In the second step, the reporting unit’s fair value is allocated to all the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit, including any unrecognized intangible assets, in a hypothetical analysis that simulates the business combination principles to derive an implied goodwill value. If the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is less than its carrying value, the difference is recorded as impairment.
For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 the Company performed an annual impairment analysis and no impairment losses have been identified.
|
|
k.
|
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 as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.
|
|
l.
|
Long lived assets held for sale:
The company accounted for its long lived assets held for sale under ASC 360-10 ("Impairment or disposal of Long-lived Assets").
Under management decision, the patents acquired under Alvarion Ltd. and Safend Ltd. acquisitions during 2016, were not intended for internal use by the Company, and thus accounted for as Long lived assets held for sale. During 2020 and 2021, following management decision, the Company elected to enter into engagements with several brokers for the purpose of marketing and sale of those patents. Realization costs of the patents are immaterial.
For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 the Company did not identify any triggers for impairment.

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, 2021 and 2020 amounted to $

n.

Revenue recognition:
The Company and its subsidiaries generate their revenues from the sale of products, licensing, maintenance, royalties and long term contracts (including training and installation).
Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). ASC 606 was applied using the modified retrospective method, therefore the cumulative effect of initially applying the revenue standard is recognized as an adjustment to opening retained earnings at January 1, 2018.
Upon adoption of ASC 606, the Company identified a change in the Company’s revenue recognition policies related to combined license and maintenance sales, as noted within the Company’s Safend contracts. Under ASC 605, revenue for these contracts was recognized over the life of the contract. In accordance with ASC 606, license revenue is recognized upon delivery while maintenance is recognized over the life of the contract. As a result of applying the new standard, the Company had recognized a cumulative effect adjustment to Retained Earnings as of January 1, 2018 in the amount of $
Aside from its combined license and maintenance sales, no other changes were identified to the characteristics of the Company’s other revenue recognition policies, other than the enhanced disclosure regarding revenue recognition, including disclosures of revenue streams, performance obligations, variable consideration and the related judgments and estimates necessary to apply the new standard.
The Company measures revenue based upon the consideration specified in the client arrangement, and revenue is recognized when the performance obligations in the client arrangement are satisfied. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct service to the customer. The transaction price of a contract is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when or as, the customer receives the benefit of the performance obligation. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised services in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expect to receive in exchange for those services. To achieve this core principal, the Company applies the following five steps:
1) Identify the contract with a customer
A contract with a customer exists when (i) the Company enters into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party’s rights regarding the services to be transferred and identifies the payment terms related to these services, (ii) the contract has commercial substance and, (iii) the Company determines that collection of substantially all consideration for services that are transferred is probable based on the customer’s intent and ability to pay the promised consideration. The Company applies judgment in determining the customer’s ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors including the customer’s historical payment experience or, in the case of a new customer, published credit and financial information pertaining to the customer.

U.S. dollars in thousands (except per share data) |
NOTE 2:
|
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)
|
2) Identify the performance obligations in the contract
Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the services that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available from third parties or from the Company, and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the services is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. To the extent a contract includes multiple promised services, the Company must apply judgment to determine whether promised services are capable of being distinct in the context of the contract. If these criteria are not met the promised services are accounted for as a combined performance obligation.
3) Determine the transaction price
The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which the Company will be entitled in exchange for transferring services to the customer.
The Company evaluates whether a significant financing component exists when the Company recognizes revenue in advance of customer payments that occur over time. For example, some of the Company contracts include payment terms greater than one year from when we transfer control of goods and services to the Company customers and the receipt of the final payment for those goods and services. If a significant financing component exists, the Company classifies a portion of the transaction price as interest income, instead of recognizing all of the transaction price as revenue. The Company does not adjust the transaction price for the effects of financing if, at contract inception, the period between the transfer of control to a customer and final payment is expected to be one year or less.
4) Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract
If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. However, if a series of distinct services that are substantially the same qualifies as a single performance obligation in a contract with variable consideration, the Company must determine if the variable consideration is attributable to the entire contract or to a specific part of the contract. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price based on management’s judgement.
5) Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation
The Company satisfies performance obligations either over time or at a point in time. Revenue is recognized at the time the related performance obligation is satisfied by transferring a promised good or service to a customer.
Nature of goods and services
The following is a description of the Company’s goods and services from which the Company generates revenue, as well as the nature, timing of satisfaction of performance obligations, and significant payment terms for each, as applicable:
Software Maintenance and Support Services Revenue
Software maintenance and support services contracts are sold in conjunction with the Company’s software products for its e-Gov, IoT and Connectivity, and Cyber Security revenue streams. The contract terms for software maintenance and support span

|
SUPERCOM LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont.) |
U.S. dollars in thousands (except per share data) |
NOTE 2:
|
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)
|
The Company recognizes revenue from fixed-price service and maintenance contracts using the input method of accounting. Under the input method, revenue is recognized on the basis of an entity’s efforts toward satisfying a performance obligation. The Company recognizes revenue from maintenance and support services provided pursuant to the time elapsed under such contracts, as that is when the performance obligation to the Company customers under such arrangements is fulfilled.
Perpetual Software License Revenue
The Company generates revenue from the sales of perpetual software licenses for its Cyber Security and e-Gov segments, including sales for its Magna_DL, Magna_VL, Magna_Passport, and Magna_ID software products. The intellectual property rights for usage of these products are transferred to the customer at the time of purchase and the software does not require implementation services, ongoing maintenance and support, or other adaptions in order to maintain utility.
In arrangements where ongoing services are not essential to the functionality of the delivered software, the Company recognizes perpetual software license revenue when the license agreement has been approved and the software has been delivered. The Company can identify each party’s rights, payment terms, and commercial substance of the content.

Transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations
Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of system deployment, service and maintenance contracts for which work has not been performed as of the period end date. As of December 31, 2021, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance totals $
The Company applies the practical expedient in paragraph ASC 606-10-50-14 and do not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one-year or less. We apply the transition practical expedient in paragraph ASC 606-10-65-1(f)(3) and do not disclose the amount of the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations and an explanation of when the Company expects to recognize that amount as revenue. Additionally, applying the practical expedient in paragraph ASC 340-40-25-4, the Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts (i.e., commissions) as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the assets that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one-year or less.

Research and development costs and software development costs:
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Software development costs eligible for capitalization are accounted for in accordance with 985-20 Software - Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased or Marketed. Capitalization of software development costs for products to be sold to third parties begins upon the establishment of technological feasibility and ceases when the product is available for general release. Amortization is calculated and provided over the estimated economic life of the software, using the greater of (i) straight-line method or if applicable (ii) the ratio that current gross revenues for a product bear to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues for that product. Amortization commences when developed software is available for general release to clients.
The estimated useful life of capitalized software development costs is 5 years.

Income taxes:
The Company and its subsidiaries account for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes”. This Statement 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 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 2021 and 2020 financial statements.
ASU No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, requires a reporting entity to classify all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. As of December 31, 2018, the Company adopted in a retrospective method the new Income Tax guidelines, stating all deferred tax assets and liabilities need be presented as non-current in the balance sheet.

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 customers located primarily in Eastern Europe, Africa, the United States and South America. 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 concentration of credit risk.

Basic and diluted earnings per share:
Basic earnings per share are computed based on the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during each year. Diluted earnings 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. The numbers of potential shares from the conversion of options and warrants that have been excluded from the calculation were

|
Fair value of financial instruments:
The Company applies ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" ("ASC 820"), pursuant to which fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the "exit price") in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
In determining fair value, the Company uses various valuation approaches. ASC 820 establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company.
Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company's assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the inputs as follows:
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company can access at the measurement date.
Level 2 - Valuations based on one or more quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 - Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term bank deposits, other accounts receivable, trade payable, and other accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities of such instruments.
The Company measures its earn-out liability at fair value (see also Note 10).

Accounting for stock-based compensation:
Stock-based compensation, including grants of stock options, is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations over the requisite service period 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 Company elected to recognize compensation costs for awards conditioned only on continued service that have a graded vesting schedule using the straight-line method and to value the awards based on the single-option award approach.
The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.

Leases:
The Company adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (“Topic 842” or “ASC 842”) on January 1, 2021, using the modified retrospective approach, by applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application. The standard requires lessees to recognize almost all leases on the balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability and requires leases to be classified as either an operating or a finance type lease. The standard excludes leases of intangible assets or inventory. Leases with a term of 12 months or less can be accounted for in a manner similar to the accounting for operating leases under ASC 840. The ASC 842 requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to ASC 840 for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases.
The Company leases real estate and storage areas, which are all classified as operating leases. In addition to rent payments, the leases may require the Company to pay for insurance, maintenance, and other operating expenses.
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Lease classification is governed by five criteria in ASC 842-10-25-2. If any of these five criteria is met, the Company classifies the lease as a finance lease. Otherwise, the Company classifies the lease as an operating lease.
Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating and finance lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date to determine the present value of the lease payments.
Operating lease expenses are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Exchange rate differences related to lease liabilities are recognized as finance income or expense. Several of the Company’s leases include options to extend the lease. For purposes of calculating lease liabilities, lease terms include options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such options.

The Company's ROU assets are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 360, "Property, Plant and Equipment" ("ASC 360"), whenever events in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
The ASC 842 provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting. The Company elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases with a term shorter than 12 months. This means that for those leases, the Company does not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities but recognizes lease expenses over the lease term on a straight-line basis. The Company also elected to not separate lease and non-lease components for all of the Company’s leases.
Upon adoption as of January 1, 2021, the Company recorded right-of-use leased assets and corresponding liabilities of $

Recent accounting pronouncements
ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The amendments in this ASU simplify the accounting for income taxes, eliminates certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and clarifies certain aspects of the current guidance to improve consistent application among reporting entities. ASU 2019-12 is effective is effective for annual periods beginning after January 1, 2022 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after January 1, 2023, and early adoption was permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the adoption of ASU 2019-12 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options,
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging Contracts in Entity s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity s Own Equity. ASU 2020-06 will simplify the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. Limiting the accounting models results in fewer embedded conversion features being separately recognized from the host contract as compared with current GAAP. Convertible instruments that continue to be subject to separation models are (1) those with embedded conversion features that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract, that meet the definition of a derivative, and that do not qualify for a scope exception from derivative accounting and(2) convertible debt instruments issued with substantial premiums for which the premiums are recorded as paid-in capital. ASU 2020-06 also amends the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions. ASU 2020-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after January 1, 2024, and early adoption was permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2020-06 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures.
Other new pronouncements issued but not effective as of December 31, 2021 are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In 2003, the Company adopted a stock option plan under which the Company issues stock options (the “Option Plan”). The Option Plan is intended to provide incentives to the Company’s employees, officers, directors and/or consultants by providing them with the opportunity to purchase ordinary shares of the Company. Subject to the provisions of the Israeli Companies Law, the Option Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee, and is designed: (i) to comply with Section 102 of the Israeli Tax Ordinance or any provision which may amend or replace it and the rules promulgated thereunder and to enable the Company and grantees thereunder to benefit from Section 102 of the Israeli Tax Ordinance and the Commissioner’s Rules; and (ii) to enable the Company to grant options and issue shares outside the context of Section 102 of the Israeli Tax Ordinance. Options granted under the Option Plan will become exercisable ratably over a period of three to five years or immediately in certain circumstances, commencing with the date of grant. The options generally expire no later than

As a result of an amendment to Section 102 of the Israeli Tax Ordinance as part of the 2003 Israeli tax reform, and pursuant to an election made by the Company thereunder, capital gains derived by grantees arising from the sale of shares issued pursuant to the exercise of options granted to them under Section 102 after January 1, 2003, will generally be subject to a flat capital gains tax rate of 25%. However, as a result of this election, the Company will no longer be allowed to claim as an expense for tax purposes the amounts credited to such employees as a benefit when the related capital gains tax is payable by them, as the Company had previously been entitled to do under Section 102.
On June 27, 2007, the Compensation Committee and board of directors of the Company approved a new option plan under which the Company may grant stock options to the U.S. employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. Under this new option plan, the Company may grant both qualified (for preferential tax treatment) and non-qualified stock options. On August 15, 2007, the new option plan was approved by the shareholders of the Company at the general shareholders meeting.
In June 2013, the Option plan was extended for another period of ten years, until December 31, 2023.
During the years 2019, 2020 and 2021, the Company did not grant any option to purchase shares.
