CAPITALIZATION AND INDEBTEDNESS Not applicable. C. REASONS FOR OFFER AND USE OF PROCEEDS Not applicable. D. RISK FACTORS Investing in our ordinary shares involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the following risk factors, as well as the other information inthis annual report before deciding to invest in our ordinary shares. Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be affected adversely byany of these risks. The trading price of our ordinary shares could decline due to any of these risks and you might lose all or part of your investment in ourordinary shares. Risks Related to Our Business If the Google AdSense for Search program is terminated or significantly changed by Google, we may experience a material reduction in our searchgenerated revenues or the profits they create, we could be forced to immediately seek an alternative search provider, and even then we would besusceptible to a certain transition period during which we may experience a material reduction in our search generated revenues and, possibly a long-term decrease in search generated revenues and, in turn, an adverse effect on our financial condition. Our business is currently very dependent on search based revenues, currently utilizing primarily the Google AdSense program, pursuant to which wereceive a portion of the amount paid by advertisers to Google for the activity performed by those downloading the Company’s applications. This dependencecontinues to grow and we obtained approximately 63% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012 from this partnership. While our strategy is todiversify our revenue streams and limit this dependence, we expect this venue to continue to generate a major portion of our revenues in the foreseeablefuture. On April 23, 2013, we entered into a new agreement with Google, effective from May 1, 2013 to April 30, 2015. The new agreement combines theactivities of Perion and SweetIM, a consumer internet company we acquired in November 2012 (see "Recent Developments" under Item 4A below) into oneagreement and replaces both of the existing agreements with Google. The new agreement, as in past agreements, enables termination by either side after oneyear with 90 days notice. In addition, Google is entitled to amend the agreement, change its policies and guidelines, and has other limited termination rights.If this agreement is terminated, substantially amended, or not renewed on favorable terms, we could experience a material decrease in our search generatedrevenues or the profits they create and we could be forced to seek alternative search providers. There are very few companies in the market that provideInternet search and advertising services similar to those provided by Google. Google is the most dominant player in this market, particularly on a globalscale, and competitors do not offer as much coverage through sponsored links. If we fail to quickly locate, negotiate and finalize alternative arrangements, orif the alternatives do not provide for terms that are as favorable as those provided for by the AdSense program, or if the alternative arrangement will not attractthe same traffic as the traffic attracted by the Google AdSense program, or if the termination by Google affects our ability to contract other providers, wewould experience a material reduction in our revenues and, in turn, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be adversely affected.Our failure to retain existing users, or attract new users, as well as generate traffic to our search properties, could adversely affect our business, financialcondition and results of operations. 4 We rely heavily on the ability to offer our search properties to users of our software products and subsequently retain them. Should this offering beblocked, constrained, limited, materially changed, or made redundant, by Google or the providers of the underlying platforms, our ability to generaterevenues from our users' search activity could be significantly reduced. Approximately 63% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012 were generated from the acceptance and subsequent retention of oursearch properties by the users of our software products. The market for offering and retaining these search properties is very competitive. In addition, somecompanies offer a browser without the existence of, or may cause difficulties in resetting, a homepage or the ability to install toolbars or reset the defaultsearch provider. The guidelines imposed pursuant to our agreement with Google, with respect to homepage resets, installing toolbars and default search resetsto Google services when providing downloadable applications have recently changed, as compared to the previous agreement, and this may have negativerevenue implications. Should Google or other companies providing internet browsers, effectively further restrict, discourage, or otherwise hamper companies,like us, from offering or changing the search properties, there would be a material adverse effect on our search generating revenue model and our financialresults. The generation of revenues from search activity has become subject to fierce competition. We obtain a significant portion of our revenues fromsearches made by users of our search properties. If we cannot compete effectively in this market, our revenues are likely to decline. We obtain a significant portion of our revenues from searches made through designating the Company as the default search provider, by installationof toolbars, as well as offering other search properties. We therefore are constantly looking for ways to convince our users to designate the Company as itsdefault search provider and accept the other search properties offered. There are a growing number of companies that generate an increasing amount of theirrevenues from searches, some of them with a more significant presence than ours and with greater capability to offer substantially more content, and othersutilizing aggressive marketing practices that we are unwilling to use as it detracts from the user experience or are not permitted by our agreements or acceptedpractices. In addition, with competition growing, even the larger and in the past more conservative companies (such as Google, Microsoft and others) havebecome increasingly aggressive in their search service offering. Therefore, our ability to attract new users to install Perion’s search assets and to retainexisting users, could suffer, preventing or delaying our ability to increase our revenues, or even causing them to decline. The marketing of our search services significantly relies on our ability to advertise and distribute our products together with the distribution of freesoftware from other companies. Should Google or our other search partners institute material changes in our ability to partner with distributionpartners, it would be more difficult to acquire new customers and would adversely affect our revenues. Over the last year, our reliance on advertising for acquiring new customers in conjunction with other companies distributing other free softwareproducts has grown dramatically and is an integral part of our plans to continue to achieve rapid growth. These distribution partnerships are regulated by oursearch partners, including Google. This method of distribution has been very effective for us in the past and has significantly contributed to our growth.Should Google continue to implement changes to its rules and restrict us from working with distribution partners, our ability to market our products andsearch services would be limited, which would adversely affect our results of operations. Social related software and Facebook in particular, is becoming an increasingly dominant method of communication over the internet. If Facebookincreases its dominance over other forms of communication, or changes the way people share content and we are not able to adapt our products to thisnew environment, the number of users of our products could decrease and our revenues could decline. A significant portion of our revenues stems from the usage of our IncrediMail email client. Although IncrediMail does accommodate certain aspectsof communication through Facebook, if the usage of Facebook or other social related software replaces email as a method of communication, this woulddecrease the usage of our email client and subsequently have a negative effect on our revenues. 5 In addition, our IncrediMail email client and other products, interface with Facebook, which we believe contributes to the usage by our users of ourproducts. If Facebook were to change the guidelines and policies governing their cooperation with companies like us, these changes could negatively impactthe use of our products. A significant portion of the users of our Smilebox photo-sharing product uses Facebook to share their creations. We could be impacted by changesthat Facebook makes in how our users are able to post content into Facebook pages. These changes could negatively impact the ability of our Smilebox usersto post content into Facebook, which would adversely affect the usage of our Smilebox photo-sharing product and our revenues from such product. If we are unable to continually enhance our existing products and develop new products that achieve widespread market acceptance, our ability toattract and retain customers could be impaired, our competitive position may be harmed and we may be unable to generate additional revenues. Our ability to generate advertising and search revenues is, amongst others, a function of the number of users of our products. In addition, a portionof the registered or active users of our free products end up becoming paying customers of our products and services. In order to induce consumers to use ourproducts, accept the search properties offered, and purchase or license our products, we must continually enhance our existing products by offering additionalfeatures and content that appeal to our unique user base. Maintaining the usability and relevance of existing products and the development andcommercialization of new products can be very complex. Software product development and commercialization depends upon a number of factors,including: ·accurate prediction of market requirements, market preferences and trends and evolving standards; ·development of advanced technologies and capabilities; ·timely completion and introduction of new product designs and features that incorporate market requirements and preferences; ·recruiting and retaining highly qualified personnel; ·marketing new products; and ·market acceptance of the enhanced and new products. We may be unable to maintain the usability and relevance of our existing products or to develop new products. Furthermore, we may not develop orintroduce new products or product enhancements in time to take advantage of market opportunities or achieve a significant or substantial level of acceptancein new or existing markets. If we fail to do so, our ability to attract and retain customers could be impaired, our competitive position may be harmed and wemay be unable to generate substantial revenues. If we are unable to establish and increase market acceptance of our products, we will not expand our business and our revenues could decline. Our ability to execute our business strategy depends on market demand for software programs that are simple, safe and useful, and on our ability tomaintain these characteristics in our existing products and those that will be bought or internally developed in the future. For instance, the fact that manyemail users have multiple email clients and accounts, many of which are likely provided to them free of charge by large Internet and software companies,positively affects the potential market demand for our enhanced email software products. The growing popularity of web based mail and its increasedfunctionality and mobility negatively affect the potential market demand for our primarily PC based email client. Our photo sharing product has benefitedfrom the social trend of sharing digital photos, while the increasing popularity for taking and viewing photos on mobile devices pose a challenge for ourprimarily desktop oriented user experience. The rate of adoption and acceptance of our products may be affected adversely by changing consumerpreferences, product obsolescence, technological change, market competition and our products’ quality and novelty. Our results of operations and financial condition may be adversely impacted by worldwide economic conditions. Our primary user base is composed of individual consumers and for the most part their discretionary purchase habits. The current overall lack ofgrowth in the U.S. and European economies following a few years of weak performance has resulted in continued negative pressure on consumer spending ingeneral, and discretionary spending in particular, and has impacted consumers in our market territories in ways that could negatively affect our business. Inthe event that the United States or Europe experiences an economic downturn, or the current economic climate worsens, our current and potential softwarelicense subscribers may be unable or unwilling to purchase our products or use our service. This would also have a negative impact on consumer internetspending and search generated revenues. A reduction in the purchasing of our products or use our services, consumer internet spending and search generatedrevenues have had a negative impact in the past, and may possibly have a greater negative impact in the future, on our sales and revenue generation, marginsand operating expenses, and consequently have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. 6 Our "viral" growth could be adversely affected if we do not increase the number of our registered users or if users stop using our software. To increase our user base, we continue to rely to a certain extent on "viral marketing" which induces our users to pass along marketing informationto other potential users with the aim of generating "viral" growth. Although the pace of our viral growth has declined, this marketing method is of relativelylow cost and remains an important part of our growth strategy. Other marketing methods, while effective, are far more costly. As users of our products stop,reduce, or limit their usage, our viral growth will decline because these users will no longer forward links to our site via their emails, and as a result our marketshare and revenues could decrease. Our historical experience with usage of our products indicates that usage of our products declines rapidly over time,although some continue to use them for as long as six years. Therefore, in order to induce our existing users to continue to use our products, we mustcontinually enhance our existing products and periodically develop new ones. If we cannot offer such products because of lack of resources, competition orother reasons described elsewhere in these Risk Factors, our distribution, revenues and results of operations could be adversely affected. The market for desktop email software products and services is declining, as web based solutions for the desktop are gaining in popularity. One of our major products competes in the market for email software products and services that aim to offer a customized personal, productive andentertaining email experience for consumers. Our main competitors are those providing a web-based email solution, which does not require the user todownload software, and thus provides a very mobile and accessible email tool. Some of these competitors provide (or will provide) a downloadable emailclient as well. While there are advantages and disadvantages to each method and system and the markets for each of them remain large, the market for webbased systems is growing at the expense of downloadable email clients. In addition, many of our competitors providing a web-based solution have moreestablished brands, products and customer relationships than we do, which could inhibit our market penetration efforts even if they may not offer featuressimilar to IncrediMail®. For example, consumers may choose to receive an extensive package of Internet and email services from a more dominant andrecognized company, such as Google (Gmail), Microsoft Corporation (Outlook), Facebook, or Yahoo! (Yahoo Mail). Should this trend accelerate faster than our ability to provide differentiating advantages in our downloadable email solution, this could result infewer downloads of our email product, lower search revenues, less use of our product, fewer purchases of our products and services and loss of market share.See "Item 4.B Business Overview — Competition" for additional discussion of our competitive market. We rely significantly on our ability to advertise through the Google AdWords network for marketing and acquiring new users of our products. ShouldGoogle make additional substantial changes to this network or if it becomes substantially more expensive, it would be more difficult and expensive toacquire new customers and would negatively affect our revenues. Over the last few years our reliance on advertising for acquiring new customers has grown dramatically and is an integral part of our plans tocontinue to achieve accelerated growth. One of the main venues for advertising our products is Google’s AdWords network. Google sets the standards and thepricing for using this network. Although there are alternative networks and platforms for advertising, none are currently as popular as Google's. ShouldGoogle continue to further change the rules for using this network and the way distributers of downloadable software products interact with it, or if the cost ofadvertising our products increases more than it already has, our ability to market our products would be limited, which would negatively affect our results ofoperations. 7 We have acquired and intend to continue to acquire other businesses. These acquisitions divert a substantial part of our resources and managementattention, could cause dilution to our shareholders and adversely affect our financial results. We acquired Smilebox in August 2011 and SweetIM in November 2012, and we intend to continue to acquire complementary products,technologies or businesses. Prior to these acquisitions our management had limited experience together as a team in making acquisitions or integratingacquired businesses. Seeking and negotiating potential acquisitions to a certain extent diverts our management’s attention from other business concerns, isexpensive and time-consuming. New acquisitions could expose our business to unforeseen liabilities or risks associated with the business or assets acquiredor with entering new markets. In addition, we might lose key employees while integrating new organizations and we might not effectively integrate theacquired products, technologies or businesses or achieve anticipated revenues or cost benefits. Future acquisitions could result in customer dissatisfaction,performance problems with an acquired product, technology or company. Paying the purchase price for acquisitions in the form of cash, debt or equitysecurities could weaken our cash position, increase our leverage or dilute our existing shareholders, as the case may be. Furthermore, a substantial portion ofthe cost of these acquisitions is typically for intangible assets. We may incur contingent liabilities, amortization expenses related to intangible assets, orpossible impairment charges related to goodwill or other intangible assets or other unanticipated events or circumstances relating to the acquisition, and wemay not have, or may not be able to enforce, adequate remedies in order to protect our Company. If any of these or similar risks relating to acquiring products,technologies or businesses should occur in the future on a scale that is larger than the effect of the acquisition described above, our business could bematerially harmed. If we are deemed to be not in compliance with applicable data protection laws, our operating results could be materially affected. We collect and maintain certain information about our customers in our database. Such collection and maintenance of customer information issubject to data protection laws and regulations in Israel and may be subject to laws and regulations in, the United States, the European Union and othercountries as well. A failure to comply with applicable regulations could result in class actions, governmental investigations and orders, and criminal and civilliabilities, which could materially affect our operating results. Although we strive to comply with the applicable laws and regulations and use our best efforts to comply with the evolving global standardsregarding privacy, and inform our customers of our business practices prior to any installations of our product and use of our services, it is possible that theselaws may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent with our data collection and preservation practices, or that it may be argued that ourpractices do not comply with other countries' privacy and data protection laws and regulations. In addition to the possibility of fines, such a situation couldresult in the issuance of an order requiring that we change our data collection or retention practices, which in turn could have a material effect on ourbusiness. See "Item 4.B Business Overview — Government Regulation" for additional discussion of applicable regulations. If users or third parties express privacy or security concerns regarding our collection, use and handling of personal information, we could incursubstantial expenses. Although we strive to comply with strict privacy data security requirements and take all reasonable steps to ensure the security of personalinformation, concerns may be expressed, from time to time, about whether our products compromise the privacy or confidentiality of the information of usersand others. Concerns about our collection, use, sharing or handling of personal information or other privacy related matters, even if unfounded, could damageour reputation and operating results. See "Item 4.B Business Overview — Government Regulation" for additional discussion of applicable regulations. We depend on a third party Internet and telecommunication provider to operate our websites. Temporary failure of these services would reduce ourrevenues and damage our reputation, and securing alternate sources for these services could significantly increase our expenses. Our websites are currently hosted on Amazon Web Services, Inc., Bezeq International Ltd. and Limelight Networks Inc. Each of such companies maynot continue to provide services to us without disruptions in services at the current cost or at all. Although there is certain overlap between such companies,such a disruption in services by any one of them, even if temporary, would reduce our revenues from product sales, and possibly even from search, dependingon the extent of disruption. While we have begun migrating the hosting services to Amazon’s cloud based service, and we believe that there are manyalternative providers of hosting and other communication services available to us, and the company has a plan for adjusting and adapting in such an event,the costs associated with the contemplated and any other transition to a new service provider could be substantial and require us to reengineer our computersystems and telecommunications infrastructure to accommodate a new service provider. Such processes could be both expensive and time consuming andcould result in lost business both during the transition period and after. 8 Our servers and communications systems could be damaged or interrupted by fire, flood, power loss, telecommunications failure, earthquakes, acts ofwar or terrorism, acts of God, computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins and similar events or disruptions. Although we maintain back-up systems forour servers, any of these events could cause system interruption, delays, loss of critical data and lost registered users and revenues. We currently rely solely on the Internet as a means to sell our products. Accordingly, if we, or our customers, are unable to utilize the Internet due toa failure of technology or infrastructure, hacking, terrorist activity or other reasons, we could lose current or potential customers and revenues. While we havebackup systems for most aspects of our operations, our systems are not fully redundant and our disaster recovery planning may not be sufficient for alleventualities. In addition, we may have inadequate insurance coverage to compensate us for losses from a major interruption. Furthermore, interruptions inour website could materially impede our ability to attract new companies to advertise on our website and to maintain relationships with current advertisers.Difficulties of this kind could damage our reputation, be expensive to remedy and curtail our growth. Our products operate in a variety of computer configurations and could contain undetected errors or defects that could result in product failures, lostrevenues and loss of market share. Our software may contain undetected errors, failures or defects, especially when the products are first introduced or when new versions are released.Our customers’ computer environments are often characterized by a wide variety of standard and non-standard configurations that make pre-release testing forprogramming or compatibility errors very difficult and time-consuming. Therefore, there could be errors or failures in our products. In addition, despitetesting by us and beta testing by some of our registered users, errors, failures or bugs may not be found in new products or releases until after commencementof commercial sales. In the past, we have discovered software errors, failures and defects in certain of our product offerings after their full introduction andhave likely experienced delayed or lost revenues during the period required to correct these errors. Errors, failures or defects in products released by us could result in negative publicity, product returns, loss of or delay in market acceptance of ourproducts, loss of competitive position or claims by customers. Alleviating any of these problems could require significant expense and could causeinterruptions. Due to our evolving business model and rapid changes in the Internet, we may not be able to accurately predict our future performance or continue ourrevenue growth or profitability. Since beginning operations in 2000, we have introduced many new products and initiatives, some of which have been unsuccessful. In addition, ourrevenue mix between products, search generated revenue and other advertising revenue has changed dramatically over the years. Consequently, in somecases, we have a limited history of ongoing operations from which to predict our future performance and making such predictions is very complex andchallenging, particularly with regard to aggressively increasing the distribution and profitability of search generated revenue, new products and initiativesand scaling existing business. The future viability of our business will greatly depend on our ability to increase search generated revenues with a sufficientreturn on investment, increase product sales, introduce new products, including adapting and creating products for new platforms such as mobile platforms,appealing to the Internet market, increase search generated, affiliate and advertising revenues, exploit our brand name and control our costs, which we may beunable to do. As a result, we may not be able to continue our revenue growth or profitability. We may have difficulty managing our growth, which could limit our ability to increase our sales and control our costs. We have invested heavily to increase the organic growth of our operations in recent years. These investments have included recruiting ofexperienced personnel, investments in infrastructures, advertising and the acquisition of new businesses and products. This strategy for emphasizingaccelerated growth is required in order to achieve our business objectives, and is placing increased demands on our management and on our operationalresources. This growth has, and continues to increase the challenges involved in: ·implementing appropriate operational and financial systems and controls; ·expanding our sales and marketing infrastructure and capabilities; ·expanding our infrastructures and technological capabilities; and ·maintaining the commitment of our employees. 9 If we cannot scale and manage our business appropriately, we will not experience our projected growth and our financial results will suffer. A decline in market acceptance for Microsoft technologies on which our products rely could have a material adverse affect on us. Most of our products and virtualy all of our revenues currently run or are based on Microsoft Windows operating systems. Recently the Android andApple operating systems have gained populartity and market share, particularly in the mobile market, although still accounting for only a small part of thedesktop market. A decline in market acceptance of Microsoft technologies or the increased acceptance of other operating systems without products that workon these competing operating systems in a timely fashion could have a material adverse effect on our ability to market our products. Consumers are adoptingthese alternative technologies in increasing numbers and are migrating to other computing technologies that we do not currently support. In addition, ourproducts and technologies must continue to be compatible with new developments in Microsoft technologies. We cannot assure you that we can maintainsuch compatibility or that we will not incur significant expenses in connection therewith. More individuals are using non-PC devices to access the Internet, and most of our products and services are currently not usable on these competingplatforms. The number of individuals who access the Internet through devices other then personal computers, such as mobile phones, tablets, etc., has increaseddramatically. While we have begun introducing mobile based products, such as Smilebox for the iPhone and most recently IncrediMail for the iPad, ourproducts for the most part are not yet compatable with these alternative platforms and devices and we have not yet implemented revenue generation modelsfor our mobile applications. If this trend accelerates and an increasing number of consumers find our products difficult to access through such devices, wemay fail to capture a sufficient share of an increasingly important portion of the market for online services, our products will become less relevant and mayfail to attract advertisers and web traffic. In addition, even if consumers do use our mobile applications, our revenue growth will still be adversely affected ifwe do not successfully implement revenue generating models for our mobile applications. Exchange rate fluctuations may harm our earnings if we are not able to hedge our currency exchange risks effectively. A majority of our revenues are denominated in U.S. dollars. However, a significant portion of our sales is in currencies other than the U.S. dollar,either received directly by us in these currencies or received by our search partner in other currencies, but first converted into U.S. dollars prior to beingtransferred to us. In 2012, approximately 10% of our revenue was received directly by us in non-U.S. currencies and an estimated 49% of our revenue wasreceived by our search partner in non-U.S. currencies, although converted by our search partner into U.S. dollars prior to being transferred to us. As a majorityof the sums received in non-U.S. currencies, their precise currency, timing or amounts received by our partner is not known by us, we are unable to hedgeagainst the risk of fluctuations in these exchange rates and we bear a foreign currency fluctuation risk. In addition, a substantial part of our costs, mainlypersonnel expenses, are incurred in NIS. Inflation in Israel may have the effect of increasing the U.S. dollar cost of our operations in Israel. Further, wheneverthe U.S. dollar declines in value in relation to the NIS, it will become more expensive for us to fund our operations in Israel. A revaluation of one percent ofthe NIS as compared to the U.S. dollar could reduce our income before taxes by approximately $0.01 million. The exchange rate of the U.S. dollar to the NIShas been very volatile in the past three fiscal years, decreasing by approximately 5% in 2010, decreasing by approximately 4% in 2011 and increasing byapproximately 8% in 2012. As of December 31, 2012, we had a foreign currency net asset of approximately $4 million and our total foreign exchange incomewas approximately $170 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2012. In addition, in market territories where our prices are based on local currencies,fluctuations in the dollar exchange rate could affect our gross profit margin. To assist us in assessing whether or not, and how to, hedge risks associated withfluctuations in currency exchange rates, we have contracted a consulting firm proficient in this area, and are generally implementing their proposals. Basedon the advice received from this firm, we are advised that we are unable to hedge exchange risks associated with revenues indirectly originating in non-U.S.dollar currencies, but received in U.S. dollars. We do not hedge the exchange risk from revenues received directly by us in non-U.S. currencies, as theamounts of these revenues are not material. However, due to market conditions, volatility and other factors, we do not always implement our consultant’sproposals in full and our consultant’s proposals do not always prove to be effective and may even prove harmful. We may incur losses from unfavorablefluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. See "Item 11 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure of Market Risks" for further discussion of the effects ofexchange rate fluctuations on earnings. 10 A loss of the services of our senior management and other key personnel could adversely affect execution of our business strategy. We depend on the continued services of our senior management, particularly Josef Mandelbaum, our Chief Executive Officer. Our current strategy isto a great extent a function of his capabilities and experience, together with the experience and knowledge of our other senior management. The loss of theservices of these personnel could create a gap in management and could result in the loss of expertise necessary for us to execute our business strategy andthereby adversely affect our business. We do not currently have "key person" life insurance with respect to any of our senior management. Further, our ability to execute our business strategy also depends on our ability to continue to attract, retain and motivate qualified and skilledtechnical and creative personnel and skilled management, marketing and sales personnel. If we cannot attract and retain additional key employees or lose oneor more of our current key employees, our ability to develop or market our products and attract or acquire new users could be adversely affected. See "Item 6Directors, Senior Management and Employees." Under current Israeli law, we may not be able to enforce non-competition covenants and, therefore, may be unable to prevent our competitors frombenefiting from the expertise of some of our former employees. We have entered into non-competition agreements with most of our professional employees. These agreements prohibit our employees, if they ceaseworking for us, from competing directly with us or working for our competitors for a limited period. Under current Israeli law, we may be unable to enforcethese agreements, in whole or in part, and it may be difficult for us to restrict our competitors from gaining the expertise that our former employees gainedwhile working for us. For example, Israeli courts have required employers seeking to enforce non-compete undertakings of a former employee to demonstratethat the competitive activities of the former employee will harm one of a limited number of material interests of the employer which have been recognized bythe courts, such as the secrecy of a company’s confidential commercial information or its intellectual property. If we cannot demonstrate that harm would becaused to us, we may be unable to prevent our competitors from benefiting from the expertise of our former employees. Our international operations involve special risks that could increase our expenses, adversely affect our operating results and require increased timeand attention of our management. We derive and expect to continue to derive a substantial portion of our revenues from users outside United States. Our international sales and relatedoperations are subject to a number of inherent risks, including risks with respect to: ·potential loss of proprietary information due to piracy, misappropriation or laws that may be less protective of our intellectual property rightsthan those of the United States; ·costs and delays associated with translating and supporting our products in multiple languages; ·foreign exchange rate fluctuations and economic instability, such as higher interest rates and inflation, which could make our products moreexpensive in those countries; ·costs of compliance with a variety of laws and regulations; ·restrictive governmental actions such as trade restrictions; ·limitations on the transfer and repatriation of funds and foreign currency exchange restrictions; ·compliance with different consumer and data protection laws and restrictions on pricing or discounts; ·lower levels of adoption or use of the Internet and other technologies vital to our business and the lack of appropriate infrastructure to supportwidespread Internet usage; ·lower levels of consumer spending on a per capita basis and fewer opportunities for growth in certain foreign market segments compared tothe United States; ·lower levels of credit card usage and increased payment risk; ·changes in domestic and international tax regulations; and ·geopolitical events, including war and terrorism. 11 Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property Unlawful copying of our products or other third party violations of existing legal protections or reductions in the legal protection for intellectualproperty rights of software developers or use of open source software could adversely affect our distribution and revenue. The software products that we sell incorporate a technology that reduces the ability of third parties to copy the software without having paid for it.Unlicensed copying and use of software and intellectual property rights lead to a loss of potential users and revenue to us, which could be more significant incountries where laws are less protective of intellectual property rights. Continued educational and enforcement efforts by governmental authorities may notadequately address this problem, and further deterioration in compliance with existing legal protections or reductions in the legal protection for intellectualproperty rights of software developers could adversely affect our revenue. In addition, certain of our products or services may now or in the future incorporate open source software, which are typically distributed "as-is"without warranties, such as warranties of performance or ownership or indemnities against intellectual property infringement claims. Moreover, to the extentthat we incorporate open source software into our products or services the license for such open source software may obligate us, among other things, to passon to our licensees without charge the rights to use, copy, modify and redistribute the underlying software source code, both with respect to the original opensource code, any modifications and/or derivatives to such code created by us. If we fail to detect and stop misrepresentations of our site and products, or for some reason are perceived as promoting malware or "spamming" orunjustly changing the user’s computer settings, we could lose the confidence of the users of our products and services, or our software or provision ofsearch services or advertising could be blocked by software or utilities designed to detect such practices, thereby causing our business to suffer. We are exposed to the risk of domains using our brand names (such as "IncrediMail", “Smilebox”, “SweetIM”, etc.) in various ways, and attracting inthis manner our potential or existing users. These domains often engage in fraudulent or spam activities and their use of our brand names can result in damageto our reputation and loss of our clients' confidence in our products. In addition, if we or our products were for some reason perceived as promoting "malwareor "spamming", or unjustly changing the user’s computer settings, our software or provision of search services or advertising could be blocked by software orutilities designed to detect such practices. If we are unable to effectively detect and terminate this misrepresentation activity of others or the way that we andour products are perceived, we may lose users and our ability to produce revenues will be harmed. Third party claims of infringement or other claims against us could require us to redesign our products, seek licenses, or engage in costly intellectualproperty litigation, which could adversely affect our financial position and our ability to execute our business strategy. The appeal of our products is largely the result of the graphics, sound and multimedia content that we incorporate into our products. We enter intolicensing arrangements with third parties for these uses. However, other third parties may from time to time claim that our current or future use of content,sound and graphics infringe their intellectual property rights, and seek to prevent, limit or interfere with our ability to make, use or sell our products. We haveexperienced such claims in the past although ultimately with no material consequence. If it appears necessary or desirable, we may seek to obtain licenses for intellectual property rights that we are allegedly infringing, may infringe ordesire to use. Although holders of these types of intellectual property rights often offer these licenses, we cannot assure you that licenses will be offered orthat the terms of any offered licenses will be acceptable to us. Our failure to obtain a license for key intellectual property rights from a third party fortechnology or content, sound or graphic used by us could cause us to incur substantial liabilities and to suspend the development and sale of our products.Alternatively, we could be required to expend significant resources to re-design our products or develop non-infringing technology. If we are unable to re-design our products or develop non-infringing technology, our revenues could decrease and we may not be able to execute our business strategy. If we do not prevail in a third-party action for infringement, we may be required to pay substantial damages and be prohibited from using intellectualproperty essential to our products. We may become involved in litigation not only as a result of alleged infringement of a third-party’s intellectual propertyrights, but also to protect our own intellectual property rights. 12 We may also become involved in litigation in connection with the brand name rights associated with our Company name or the names of ourproducts. We do not know whether others will assert that our Company name or brand name infringes their trademark rights. In addition, names we choose forour products may be claimed to infringe names held by others. If we have to change the name of our Company or products, we may experience a loss ingoodwill associated with our brand name, customer confusion and a loss of sales. Any lawsuit, regardless of its merit, would likely be time-consuming,expensive to resolve and require additional management time and attention. Risks Related to Our Industry The digital advertising market is very concentrated, with search in general, and Google in particular, playing a substantial role in that market, limitingour flexibility to operate in this market. In 2012, digital advertising continued to grow globally and in the United States in particular. Advertising through search accounted for the largestportion of digital advertising and in the United States accounted for approximately 47% of all money spent on digital advertising. Google as an advertisingpublisher accounted for over 40% of U.S. digital ad revenues. This high market concentration causes us to be subject to unilateral changes set by Google,with limited ability to respond to and adjust for those changes. While we utilize other methods of advertising and partnering with other companies, these arecurrently not as lucrative as search advertising in general and affiliation with Google in particular. Continued unilateral changes could adversely affect ourrevenues and performance. The Internet as a medium for commerce and communication is subject to uncertainty and there could be a shift in communication platforms away fromemail. The Internet and electronic communication industry is rapidly evolving, as new means for electronic communication are offered to the public. Ourability to execute our business strategy is currently dependent upon the continued predominance of email as a means of electronic communication and uponthe continued use of the Internet. Although we are in the process of diversifying our product portfolio, currently our email product, IncrediMail, generates approximately 33% of ourrevenues and provides a substantial part of our corporate brand recognition. In addition, although email software programs and services currently enjoy alarge market, the development and consumer acceptance of other means of electronic communication, such as text messaging over phone networks, chat-boards, blogs and web-based social networks, have slowed the growth of the email market and could result in a substantial decrease in the size of this market,in which case our revenues could decrease and our products could become obsolete. There is direct competition between web-based software and downloaded software. There are various advantages and disadvantages to web-based software as compared to downloaded software. Currently, web-based software seems tobe growing at a faster rate than downloaded software. While we are beginning to transition some of our products to a web-based platform, our business iscurrently reliant on the continued prevalence of downloaded software for revenues. A more dramatic shift to web-based software could cause a decline in ourrevenues. The Internet and Internet companies are providing an increasing number of services for free. Internet based companies have established a new trend and are providing an increasing number of services for free, including email clients and anti-spam software and services. A substantial part of our revenues comes from selling software products and services, currently accounting for approximately29% of our revenues. While our sales have increased as a result of the acquisition of Smilebox and its products, if not for such acquisition, sales would havecontinued to decrease, partially as a result of such trend. Should this trend accelerate or even continue for a prolonged period, our revenues from product salesand services would decline, unless bolstered by additional products. 13 Our financial performance may be materially adversely affected by information technology, insufficient cyber security and other business disruptions. Our business is constantly challenged and may be impacted by disruptions, including information technology attacks or failures. Cybersecurityattacks, in particular, are evolving and include, but are not limited to, malicious software, attempts to gain unauthorized access to data, and other electronicsecurity breaches that could lead to disruptions in systems, unauthorized release of confidential or otherwise protected information and corruption of data,and overloading our servers and systems with communications and data. Unidentified groups recently hacked numerous internet websites and servers,including our own, for various reasons, political, commercial and other. Given the unpredictability of the timing, nature and scope of such disruptions, wecould potentially be subject to substantial system downtimes, operational delays, other detrimental impacts on our operations or ability to provide productsand services to our customers, the compromising of confidential or otherwise protected information, destruction or corruption of data, security breaches, othermanipulation or improper use of our systems and networks, financial losses from remedial actions, loss of business or potential liability, and/or damage to ourreputation, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our cash flows, competitive position, financial condition or results of operations. Althoughthese attacks, while causing certain difficulties, have not had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations, there can be noassurance that such incidents will not have a material adverse effect on us in the future. New laws and regulations applicable to e-commerce, Internet advertising, privacy and data collection and protection, and uncertainties regarding theapplication or interpretation of existing laws and regulations, could harm our business. Our business is conducted through the Internet and therefore, among other things, we are subject to the laws and regulations that apply to e-commerce and online businesses around the world. These laws and regulations are becoming more prevalent in the United States, Europe, Israel andelsewhere and may impede the growth of the Internet or other online services. These regulations and laws may cover taxation, user privacy, data collectionand protection, pricing, content, copyrights, electronic contracts and other communications, Internet advertising (including monitoring and trackingconsumer behavior), consumer protection, the provision of online payment services, broadband residential Internet access, and the characteristics and qualityof products and services. Many areas of the law affecting the Internet remain largely unsettled, even in areas where there has been some legislative action. For example, thereis a degree of uncertainty regarding the level of enforceability of various laws of countries in which our products are being used. This uncertainty can becompounded when services hosted in one jurisdiction are directed at users in another jurisdiction. Therefore, it is difficult to determine whether and howexisting laws, such as those governing intellectual property, privacy and data collection and protection, libel, marketing, data security and taxation, apply tothe Internet and our business. In February 2012, the Obama Administration unveiled a "Consumer Privacy Bill of Rights" (the "CPBR"). While the CPBR isnot binding, the Obama Administration supports Federal legislation that will adopt the principles set forth in the CPBR. Even without legislation, the ObamaAdministration intends to initiate processes that use these rights as a template for codes of conduct that are enforceable by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission(the "FTC"). The U.S. Commerce Department prepared a report recommending a "framework" to protect people from a burgeoning personal data-gatheringindustry and fragmented U.S. privacy laws that cover certain types of data but not others. New laws and regulations may seek to impose additional burdens orrestrictions on companies conducting business over the Internet. In Europe particularly, there is a major overhaul of the current European Data Privacyframework which appears more prescriptive and ambitious and, over the course of the next 12 months, we will begin to understand the impact of this newproposed regulation, which may demand further change in the way we conduct business and interact with our customers in Europe. With other nationalgovernments also taking steps to enshrine consumer rights (e.g., the U.K. government has proposals to consolidate all consumer protections into a single new"Consumer Bill of Rights"), the level of consumer protections we face as a business is set to increase. We are unable to accurately predict the nature of thelimitations that may be imposed. Certain laws and regulations in Israel have recently been adopted or amended, including without limitation, guidelines and requirements in respectof onward transfer, outsourcing, protection of personally identifiable information and employee related privacy restrictions in the workplace. Although westrive to comply with such requirements and guidelines, it is possible that such requirements and guidelines may be interpreted and applied in a manner thatis inconsistent with our data collection and preservation practices. There is currently also uncertainty in relation to the passing of relatively recent online laws. For example, legislation has been enacted to regulatethe use of "cookie" technology. In Europe there is a patchwork of implementation and, in some countries there remains limited guidance defining goodpractice. Further, despite the expiration of deadlines for such implementation, some Member States are yet to implement the relevant Directive and bring theirlaws into compliance. Upon installation of our software, certain cookies generated by us and our advertisers are placed on our customers’ computers. It hasbeen argued that Internet protocol addresses and cookies are intrinsically personally identifiable information that is subject to privacy standards. We cannotassure you that our current policies and procedures would meet these restrictive standards. 14 Additionally, there is a significant possibility that the U.S. Congress may enact laws regulating the tracking of the Internet activity of individuals,even if no personally identifiable information is being collected. Currently, the Internet industry has been attempting to self-regulate in this area. However, todate, the industry has not developed a “do-not-track” standard. If "do-not-track" legislation is enacted, this could impact our ability to design a highlyeffective targeted advertising campaign, which could result in lower revenues derived from advertising. The FTC recently published a Staff Report which proposes guidelines on privacy disclosures for entities in the mobile marketplace. Although theguidelines are not binding, they highlight privacy practices upon which the FTC places great importance. Considering the FTC’s increased focus on privacyin mobile application, its recent enforcement actions, and its ongoing efforts to protect the privacy and personal information of mobile users, entitiesoperating in the mobile marketplace may be impacted by future regulation in this area. We offer products with mobile capabilities which could be affecteddepending upon the scope of such legislation. In addition, technology is changing constantly and data security regulations and standards are in a state of flux. Changes in law or regulations mayrequire that we materially change the way we do business. For example, we may be required to implement physical, administrative and technological securitymeasures different from those we have now, such as different data access controls or encryption technology. We use cloud based servers. Cloud computing isnot without substantial risk, particularly at a time when businesses of almost every kind are finding themselves subject to an ever expanding range of stateand federal data security and privacy laws, document retention requirements, and other standards of accountability. We may incur substantial expenses inimplementing such security measures. Although decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court restrict the imposition of obligations to collect state and local sales and use taxes with respect to salesmade over the Internet, the U.S. Congress and a number of states have been considering or have adopted various initiatives that could limit or supersede thesedecisions. Some states have aggressively interpreted the necessary nexus required to impose sales taxes to include activities that were not previously taxable.If any of these initiatives results in a reversal of the current law or practice in this regard, we could be required to collect sales and use taxes on our U.S. sales.The imposition by state and local governments of various taxes upon Internet commerce could create administrative burdens for us and could decrease ourfuture sales. The European Union has already enacted legislation regarding Value Added Tax imposed on certain software sold by companies outside theEuropean Union to consumers in the European Union over the Internet. This legislation could be interpreted to include certain parts of our business not yetaccrued for by us causing additional significant tax exposure, or alternatively, reduce the competitiveness of the pricing of our products. The cost of compliance with worldwide taxation, consumer data protection and privacy related laws and regulations could be material and we maynot be able to comply with the applicable regulations in a timely or cost-effective manner. In response to evolving legal requirements, we may be compelledto change our business model and practices, which could reduce our sales, and we may not be able to replace the revenues lost as a consequence of thechange. These changes could also require us to incur significant expenses, subject us to liability and require increased time and attention of our management.See "Item 4.B Business Overview — Government Regulation" for additional discussion of applicable regulations affecting our business. Risks Related to Our Operations in Israel Political, economic and military instability in the Middle East may impede our ability to operate and harm our financial results. Our principal executive offices are located in Israel. Accordingly, political, economic and military conditions in the Middle East may affect ourbusiness directly. Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, a number of armed conflicts have occurred between Israel and its Arab neighbors.Since the end of 2011, several countries in the region, including Egypt and Syria, have been experiencing civil unrest, political turbulence and violencewhich are affecting the political stability of those countries. This instability may lead to deterioration of the political and economic relationships that existbetween the State of Israel and some of these countries. In addition, Iran has threatened to attack Israel and is widely believed to be developing nuclearweapons. Iran is also believed to have a strong influence among extremist groups in the region, such as Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon. Thesesituations may potentially escalate in the future to more violent events which may affect Israel and us. These situations, including conflicts which involvedmissile strikes against civilian targets in various parts of Israel, negatively affected business conditions in Israel. Any hostilities involving Israel or theinterruption or curtailment of trade between Israel and its present trading partners could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results andfinancial condition. While such hostilities did not in the past have a material adverse impact on our business, we cannot guarantee that hostilities will not berenewed and have such an effect in the future. Ongoing and revived hostilities and the attempts to resolve the conflict between Israel and its Arab neighborsoften results in political instability that affects the Israeli capital markets and can cause volatility in interest rates, exchange rates and stock market quotes.The political and security situation in Israel may result in parties with whom we have contracts claiming that they are not obligated to perform theircommitments under those agreements pursuant to force majeure provisions. These or other Israeli political or economic factors could harm our operations andproduct development and cause our sales to decrease. Any hostilities involving Israel or the interruption or curtailment of trade between Israel and its presenttrading partners could adversely affect our operations and could make it more difficult for us to raise capital. Furthermore, several countries, principally thosein the Middle East, still restrict business with Israel and Israeli companies and, although the impact of these restrictions is not as important for a companysuch as ours that sells its products through the Internet, it may nevertheless have an adverse effect on our results of operations. Since many of our facilities arelocated in Israel, we could experience serious disruptions if acts associated with this conflict result in any serious damage to our facilities. Our businessinterruption insurance may not adequately compensate us for losses that may occur and any losses or damages incurred by us could have a material adverseeffect on our business. Any future armed conflicts or political instability in the region would likely negatively affect business conditions and harm our resultsof operations. 15 Our operations may be disrupted by the obligations of our personnel to perform military service. All non-exempt male adult citizens and permanent residents of Israel under the age of 40, or older for reserves officers or citizens with certainoccupations, as well as certain female adult citizens and permanent residents of Israel, are obligated to perform military reserve duty and may be called toactive duty under emergency circumstances. In recent years, there have been significant call-ups of military reservists, and it is possible that there will beadditional call-ups in the future. Many of our male employees in Israel, including members of senior management, are obligated to perform up to 36 days ofmilitary reserve duty annually until they reach the relevant age of discharge from army service and, in the event of a military conflict, could be called toactive duty. While we have operated effectively despite these conditions in the past, we cannot assess what impact these conditions may have in the future,particularly if emergency circumstances arise. Our operations could be disrupted by the absence of a significant number of our employees related to militaryservice or the absence for extended periods of military service of one or more of our executive officers or key employees. Any disruption in our operationswould harm our business. Investors and our shareholders generally may have difficulties enforcing a U.S. judgment against us, our executive officers and our directors orasserting U.S. securities laws claims in Israel. We are incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel. Service of process upon us, our Israeli subsidiaries, our directors and officers and the Israeliexperts, if any, named in this annual report, substantially all of whom reside outside the United States, may be difficult to obtain within the United States. Furthermore, because the majority of our assets and investments, and substantially all of our directors, officers and such Israeli experts are locatedoutside the United States, any judgment obtained in the United States against us or any of them may be difficult to collect within the United States. We have been informed by our legal counsel in Israel that it may also be difficult to assert U.S. securities law claims in original actions instituted inIsrael. Israeli courts may refuse to hear a claim based on an alleged violation of U.S. securities laws reasoning that Israel is not the most appropriate forum tobring such a claim. In addition, even if an Israeli court agrees to hear a claim, it may determine that Israeli law and not U.S. law is applicable to the claim.There is little binding case law in Israel addressing these matters. If U.S. law is found to be applicable, the content of applicable U.S. law must be proved as afact, which can be a time-consuming and costly process. Certain matters of procedure will also be governed by Israeli law. Subject to specified time limitations and legal procedures, under the rules of private international law currently prevailing in Israel, Israeli courtsmay enforce a U.S. judgment in a civil matter, including a judgment based upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. securities laws, as well as a monetaryor compensatory judgment in a non-civil matter, provided that the following key conditions are met: ·subject to limited exceptions, the judgment is final and non-appealable; 16 ·the judgment was given by a court competent under the laws of the state of the court and is otherwise enforceable in such state; ·the judgment was rendered by a court competent under the rules of private international law applicable in Israel; ·the laws of the state in which the judgment was given provide for the enforcement of judgments of Israeli courts; ·adequate service of process has been effected and the defendant has had a reasonable opportunity to present his arguments and evidence; ·the judgment and its enforcement are not contrary to the law, public policy, security or sovereignty of the State of Israel; ·the judgment was not obtained by fraud and does not conflict with any other valid judgment in the same matter between the same parties;and ·an action between the same parties in the same matter was not pending in any Israeli court at the time the lawsuit was instituted in the U.S.court. The tax benefits available to us require us to meet several conditions and may be terminated or reduced in the future, which would increase our costsand taxes. For the year ended December 31, 2012, our effective tax rate was 41%. We have benefited or currently benefit from a variety of governmentprograms and tax benefits that generally carry conditions that we must meet in order to be eligible to obtain any benefit. Our tax expenses and the resultingeffective tax rate reflected in our financial statements may increase over time as a result of changes in corporate income tax rates, other changes in the taxlaws of the countries in which we operate, non-deductible expenses, loss and timing differences, or changes in the mix of countries, where we generate profit. If we fail to meet the conditions upon which certain favorable tax treatment is based, we would not be able to claim future tax benefits and could berequired to refund tax benefits already received. Additionally, some of these programs and the related tax benefits are available to us for a limited number ofyears, and these benefits expire from time to time. Any of the following could have a material effect on our overall effective tax rate: · some programs may be discontinued; · we may be unable to meet the requirements for continuing to qualify for some programs; · these programs and tax benefits may be unavailable at their current levels; · upon expiration of a particular benefit, we may not be eligible to participate in a new program or qualify for a new tax benefit that wouldoffset the loss of the expiring tax benefit; or · we may be required to refund previously recognized tax benefits if we are found to be in violation of the stipulated conditions. Additional details are provided in “Item 5 – Operating and Financial Review and Products” under the caption “Taxes on income”, in “Item 10 –Additional Information” under the caption “Israeli taxation, foreign exchange regulation and investment programs” and in note 10 to our consolidatedfinancial statements. Risks Related to our Ordinary Shares We do not intend to pay cash dividends. Although we have paid cash dividends in the past, our current policy is to retain future earnings, if any, for funding growth. If we do not paydividends, you will generate a return on your investment only if our stock price appreciates between your date of purchase and your date of sale of our shares. See "Item 8.A Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information — Policy on Dividend Distribution" for additional information regardingthe payment of dividends. We are subject to ongoing costs and risks associated with complying with extensive corporate governance and disclosure requirements. As an Israeli public company, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses. We incur costs associated with our public companyreporting requirements as well as costs associated with corporate governance and public disclosure requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, the Listing Rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market, regulations ofthe U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the provisions of the Israeli Securities Law that apply to dual listed companies (companies that arelisted on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange ("TASE") and another recognized stock exchange located outside of Israel) and the provisions of the IsraeliCompanies Law 5759-1999 (the "Companies Law") that apply to us. For example, as a public company, we have created additional board committees and arerequired to have at least two external directors, pursuant to the Companies Law. We have also contracted an internal auditor and a consultant forimplementation of and compliance with the requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires an annual reviewand evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting of the effectiveness of these controls by our management. There is no guarantee that theseefforts will result in management assurance that our internal control over financial reporting is adequate in future periods. In connection with our compliancewith Section 404 and the other applicable provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, our management and other personnel devote a substantial amount of time,and we may need to hire additional accounting and financial staff, to assure that we continue to comply with these requirements. The additional managementattention and costs relating to compliance with the foregoing requirements could materially and adversely affect our financial results. See "Item 5 Operatingand Financial Review and Prospects — Overview — General and Administrative Expenses" for a discussion of our increased expenses as a result of being apublic company. 17 If we were to lose our foreign private issuer status under U.S. federal securities laws, we would incur additional expenses associated with compliancewith the U.S. securities laws applicable to U.S. domestic issuers. We are a foreign private issuer, as such term is defined under U.S. federal securities laws, and, therefore, we are not required to comply with all of theperiodic disclosure and current reporting requirements applicable to U.S. domestic issuers. If we lost this status, we would be required to comply with thereporting and other requirements applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, which are more detailed and extensive than the requirements for foreign private issuers.The regulatory and compliance costs to us under U.S. securities laws, if we are required to comply with the reporting requirements applicable to a U.S.domestic issuer, may be significantly higher than the cost we currently incur as a foreign private issuer. The rights and responsibilities of our shareholders are governed by Israeli law and differ in some respects from the rights and responsibilities ofshareholders under U.S. law. We are incorporated under Israeli law. The rights and responsibilities of holders of our ordinary shares are governed by our memorandum ofassociation, articles of association and by Israeli law. These rights and responsibilities differ in some respects from the rights and responsibilities ofshareholders in typical U.S. corporations. In particular, a shareholder of an Israeli company has a duty to act in good faith in exercising his or her rights andfulfilling his or her obligations toward the company and other shareholders and to refrain from abusing his power in the company, including, among otherthings, in voting at the general meeting of shareholders on certain matters. Israeli law provides that these duties are applicable in shareholder votes at thegeneral meeting with respect to, among other things, amendments to a company’s articles of association, increases in a company’s authorized share capital,mergers and actions and transactions involving interests of officers, directors or other interested parties which require shareholders’ approval. There is littlecase law available to assist in understanding the implications of these provisions that govern shareholder behavior. As a foreign private issuer whose shares are listed on NASDAQ, we follow certain home country corporate governance practices instead of certainNASDAQ requirements. As a foreign private issuer whose shares are listed on NASDAQ, we are permitted to follow certain home country corporate governance practicesinstead of certain requirements contained in the NASDAQ listing rules. We follow the requirements of the Companies Law in Israel, rather than comply withthe NASDAQ requirements, in certain matters, including with respect to the quorum for shareholder meetings, sending annual reports to shareholders, andshareholder approval with respect to certain issuances of securities. See “Item 16.G – Corporate Governance” in this Annual Report for a more completediscussion of the NASDAQ Listing Rules and the home country practices we follow. As a foreign private issuer listed on NASDAQ, we may also elect in thefuture to follow home country practice with regard to other matters as well. Accordingly, our shareholders may not be afforded the same protection asprovided under NASDAQ’s corporate governance rules to shareholders of U.S. domestic companies. 18 Provisions of our articles of association and Israeli law may delay, prevent or make difficult an acquisition of our Company, which could prevent achange of control and, therefore, depress the price of our shares. Israeli corporate law regulates mergers, requires tender offers for acquisitions of shares above specified thresholds, requires special approvals fortransactions involving directors, officers or significant shareholders and regulates other matters that may be relevant to these types of transactions. Inaddition, our articles of association contain provisions that may make it more difficult to acquire our Company, such as provisions establishing a classifiedboard. Furthermore, Israeli tax considerations may make potential transactions unappealing to us or to some of our shareholders. See "Item 10.BMemorandum and Articles of Association — Approval of Related Party Transactions" and "Item 10.E – Taxation — Israeli Taxation" for additionaldiscussion about some anti-takeover effects of Israeli law. These provisions of Israeli law may delay, prevent or make difficult an acquisition of our Company, which could prevent a change of control andtherefore depress the price of our shares. Future sales of our ordinary shares could reduce our stock price. Sales by shareholders of substantial amounts of our ordinary shares, or the perception that these sales may occur in the future, could materially andadversely affect the market price of our ordinary shares. In addition, although our executive officers and directors have certain limitations regarding how andwhen they may trade our securities, neither they nor relatively large shareholders are subject to contractual restrictions on the sale by them of shares, resultingin a substantial number of shares held by them in the public market. Furthermore, the market price of our ordinary shares could drop significantly if ourexecutive officers, directors, or certain large shareholders sell their shares, or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them. Our ordinary shares are traded on more than one market and this may result in price variations. Our ordinary shares are traded on the NASDAQ Global Market ("NASDAQ") and on the TASE. Trading in our ordinary shares on these markets iseffected in different currencies (U.S. dollars on NASDAQ and NIS on the TASE) and at different times (resulting from different time zones, different tradingdays and different public holidays in the United States and Israel). Consequently, the trading prices of our ordinary shares on these two markets often differ,resulting from the factors described above as well as differences in exchange rates and from political events and economic conditions in the United States andIsrael. Any decrease in the trading price of our ordinary shares on one of these markets could cause a decrease in the trading price of our ordinary shares onthe other market. ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY A. HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPANY Our History We were incorporated in the State of Israel in November 1999 under the name Verticon Ltd. and changed our name to Incredimail Ltd. in November 2000. InNovember 2011, we changed our name to Perion Network Ltd., to better reflect the diverse nature of our business. We operate under the laws of the State ofIsrael. Our headquarters are located at 4 HaNechoshet Street, Tel-Aviv 69710, Israel. Our phone number is (972-3) 769-6100. Our website address iswww.perion.com. The information on our websites does not constitute a part of this annual report. We completed the initial public offering of our ordinary shares in the United States on February 3, 2006, whereby we became a "limited liabilitypublic company" under the Companies Law. Since November 20, 2007 the Company’s ordinary shares are also traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. On August 31, 2011 we completed the purchase of Smilebox Inc., a Washington corporation, through our Delaware subsidiary. On November 30, 2012 we completed the purchase of SweetIM Ltd., a Belize company that wholly owns SweetIM Technologies Ltd., an Israelicompany. See “Recent Developments” below. Principal Capital Expenditures We had capital expenditures of $45.7 million in 2012, $32.7 million in 2011 and $0.9 million in 2010. We currently expect that outside of possibleacquisitions of products and companies, our capital expenditures will be approximately $1.5 million in 2013. To date, we have financed our general capitalexpenditures with cash generated from operations. 19 Our capital expenditures during 2010 consisted primarily of leasehold improvements and furnishings, as well as investments in computer hardwareand software, in Israel. In 2011, capital expenditures consisted of $31.5 million for the acquisition of Smilebox and $1.2 million for investment in computerhardware and software, leasehold improvements and furnishings. In 2012, capital expenditures consisted of $44.2 million in connection with the acquisitionof SweetIM Ltd., and $1.5 million for investment in computer hardware and software, leasehold improvements and furnishings. In 2013, we expect to continue our growth strategy for acquiring products and businesses', in addition to organic capital investments. Our organicinvestments are expected to consist primarily of acquiring computer hardware, software, peripheral equipment and installation, all which are expected to befinanced by our existing resources. To the extent we acquire new products and businesses, these acquisitions may be financed by any of, or a combination of,cash generated from operations, -or issuances of securities or debt. Recent Developments On November 7, 2012 we signed a definitive agreement to acquire SweetIM Ltd., a Belize company that wholly owns SweetIM Technologies Ltd.,an Israeli consumer internet company, or SweetIM. SweetIM produces a variety of free, fun, easy to use and safe applications and downloadable content foreveryday use under the "SweetPacks" trade name. SweetIM produces a selection of innovative products designed to enhance the user’s digital experience, having reached already over 150 millionusers and providing them with a creative outlet for online expression. SweetIM started with the 2005 launch of a single product, the SweetIM application,and subsequently broadened its offering of emoticons and animations for online chat and communications. Utilizing SweetIM’s simplicity and ease of use,SweetIM now offers an impressive collection of products, which can be applied to other daily online tasks, from synchronizing multiple online accounts anda highly accurate translation tool, to maximizing PC performance and a wide range of free premium games. SweetIM earns revenues from generating searches and sharing in the revenues with the provider of the search engine, as well as from traditionaldigital advertising. Under the terms of the agreement, we paid $10.0 million in cash and 1.99 million of our ordinary shares at closing, which occurred onNovember 30, 2012. A second payment of up to $7.5 million in cash is due 12 months after closing, and a third payment of up to $7.5 million in cash is due18 months after closing, subject to certain achievements being met. We have moved SweetIM’s operations, with its approximayely 50 employees, to the Company’s headquarters. On January 31, 2013, we signed an amendment to our agreement with Google extending the term of the agreement to May 31 2013, to coincide withthe expiration date of the agreement between SweetIM and Google. On April 23, 2013, we entered into a new agreement with Google, effective from May 1,2013 to April 30, 2015. The new agreement combines the activities of Perion and SweetIM into one agreement and replaces both of the existing agreementswith Google. B. BUSINESS OVERVIEW Overview We are a global consumer internet company that develops applications to make the online experience of our users simple, safe and enjoyable.Perion’s three main consumer brands are: IncrediMail, Smilebox and SweetIM. IncrediMail is a unified messaging application enabling consumers to managemultiple email accounts and Facebook messages in one place with an easy-to-use interface and extensive personalization features, and is available in over100 countries in 8 languages; Smilebox is a leading photo sharing and social expression product and service that quickly turn life's moments into digitalkeepsakes for sharing and connecting with friends and family, in a fun and personal way. SweetIM is an instant messaging application that enables consumersto personalize their everyday communications with free, fun and easy to use content. All of our products were initially offered for use on desktop computers. As a result of the increased use of mobile platforms over the last couple ofyears, we have begun to develop and market some of our products on mobile platforms as well. This effort saw its first major results with the introdution ofSmilebox for the iPhone, which has already been downloaded over 1.2 million times. In March 2013, we introduced IncrediMail for the iPad, whichregistered, in its first month, over 200,000 downloads. We continue to develop additional versions of these products for additional mobile platforms. 20 In the past, we devloped and marketed PhotoJoy, a photo presentation application, both for the desktop and mobile platforms, as well as Fixie, ourPC optimization tool. The marketing and continued devlopment of these products has been suspended until we can identify monetization models that justifycontinued development. Most of our applications are monetized through a "freemium" model. Free versions of our applications are monetized primarilythrough our toolbar which generates search revenue and display advertising revenue, generated through impressions. A more advanced feature-rich version ofmany of our products is available for a subscription or fee. We also offer and develop a range of products for mobile phones and tablets to answer our users’increasing mobile demands. In 2012, we sold 414,000 products, content licenses and subscriptions to our registered users worldwide. We believe that our historical trackrecord of converting registered users to purchasing customers represents a convincing validation of our business strategy. For a breakdown of total revenues by category of activity, see "Item 5.A Operating Results — Revenues." In the past we relied primarily on "viral marketing" to increase our user base. Our "viral marketing" has resulted from recipients of our users’ emailsclicking on the link at the bottom of emails sent with IncrediMail Xe, an instant message enriched by SweetIM content, or receiving digital photo creationsfrom friends and relatives created by our Smilebox software, and then downloading our products and also from word of mouth. Since the middle of 2011while viral marketing still contributes to our growth, we are investing increasing sums in advertising to accelerate our growth as the effectiveness of our viralmarketing declines. Our revenues were $29.5 million in 2010, $35.5 million in 2011 and $60.2 million in 2012. Our operations have been profitable since2002, with a gross profit margin of at least 90%. When we use the term "registered user" in this annual report, we mean a user who has downloaded at least one of our products and completed theregistration process. Registrations are not necessarily indicative of the number of individuals using our products or services, as a user may register more thanone time and a particular product or service may be resident on a computer but not actually be used. In addition, the term "active user" as used in this annualreport means a registered user whose computer we can communicate with in order to verify if any of our products are resident on such computer, in the 30days prior to the applicable measurement date. Our Markets Our user base. Our products ideally service “second wave adopters”, characterized by typically being above 40 years old, looking for computerapplications that assist them in effectively utilizing their time and that are simple, safe and useful. Based on our internal statistics and in-depth consumerresearch contracted by us, we have learned that, approximately 95% of our users are 35 years old or older and approximately 80% are 45 years old or older. Inaddition, our users do tend to adopt technology later in its life cycle, rather than earlier. Our Opportunity. We believe we are one of the few hi-tech companies that target this unique demographic segment, rather than offering the latesttechnology to younger audiences. Our opportunity is to offer this demographic segment software that is simple safe and useful, enabling them to better utilizetheir time, as we have done successfully with our email client and photo sharing software. We believe this is a substantial and underserved market. Productivity tools. We are actively seeking to enrich our product suite to include other consumer products that bear similar characteristicsappealing to our unique demographic segment. We believe our communication client Incredimail, digital photo product Smilebox and our instantmessaging tool SweetIM, have these characteristics and will appeal similarly to our user base. Based on our consumer research, we will seek to offer our users,in addition to these products, other tools in the areas of safety and security in the PC environment, personal productivity, and other areas. Our Strategy Our objective is to become the market leader and a reliable provider of consumer applications for second wave adopters seeking products that aresimple and safe, helping to make their everyday online tasks more enjoyable. To achieve this goal, we intend to enhance our existing business and extend itbeyond that by way of acquisitions. 21 To enhance our existing business, we intend to: ·invest in consumer insight enabling us to identify the specific needs of our targeted demographic segment; ·continue and further increase our customer acquisition costs; ·broaden the platform for our applications, embracing mobile platforms; and ·develop a more robust product line. By investing in consumer research, we are able to better identify the specific needs of our targeted demographic segment. In addition, if in the past,we had predominantly relied on the viral spread of our applications, since 2012 we have invested increasing sums in customer acquisition for increasedmarket penetration for our products. Employing this strategy for acquiring customers has been enabled by our back-end systems recently developed andconstantly being improved. As users increase their mobile Internet interaction, which have been to a certain extent at the expense of their desktop activity, itis becoming increasingly important for us to establish a mobile presence in general and for our existing suite of products in particular. To that end, weintroduced a mobile version of our Smilebox application for the iPhone in 2012 and introduced our IncrediMail email client for the iPad in the first quarter of2013 Finally, in order to reduce our dependency on a limited number of products and to better serve our users and their needs, we intend to continue to enrichand expand our product suite. In order to grow our business beyond organic growth and accelerate our ability to bring new products to our users, we have adopted a strategy toinvest in acquiring other products and extend the business. This strategy has resulted in the acquisition of Smilebox Inc. in 2011 and SweetIM Ltd. in 2012.This strategy will enable us to further diversify our revenue base, better serve the needs of our users and reduce the time required to bring these new productsto market. By focusing on our consumer and enhancing and extending our business, we believe we will be able to further grow our business by: ·Growing our user base. Our effective viral marketing has resulted in millions of registered users who spread the word about our products andservices at relatively low marketing costs to us. On top of that, since 2012, in order to accelerate our growth we have invested heavily inacquiring new customers, who may also contribute to viral growth to a certain extent. ·Increasing the use of our products by our users. By focusing on our consumers and their needs, we believe we can increase the use of ourproducts and subsequently the searching capabilities offered to them, thereby increasing our search generated revenues. ·Enhancing product offerings and increasing user sales. Since the acquisition of Smilebox in 2011, our product sales have increased, morethan offsetting a decrease in premium revenues from our IncrediMail communication client. We believe the offering of our products onmobile platforms will serve to increase product revenues in the future. In addition, we believe that another result of our consumer research willbe to identify the premium products and services sought by our users. Although we believe that a majority of our revenues will continue to begenerated by advertising in general, and search generated revenues in particular, we believe that there remains a real opportunity to grow ourpremium product sales significantly. ·Enhancing the consumer experience. We have always attempted to provide a positive experience to our users. As we further emphasize thisaspect, we will continue to design our products and services and market them to address users’ aversion to offensive Internet marketing tools,which we believe encourages more use of our products and increases user loyalty. ·Continuing to focus on the online consumer market. Email remains a prominent communication medium and sharing digital photo creationshas become a popular way of expression. We have enhanced our email client so that it incorporates the users’ Facebook feeds, and will look inthe future to embrace other methods of communication. In addition, we have begun incorporating new platforms for sharing photos, such asiPhones, and introduced our IncrediMail product for the iPad in the first quarter of 2013. We intend to broaden this offering by enabling otherplatforms, such as Android and Windows Mobile, as well. The Internet and the application stores available enable us to reach potential usersthroughout the world quickly and easily as well as reduce the costs associated with sales and distribution of our products and services. 22 As a result of our in depth consumer research and the success of our communication client, we have found that our products address an underservedmarket of later technology adapters. We have found that these consumers are looking for simple, safe and useful products that assist in better utilizing theirtime. We intend to address this unique market segment, which is the largest growing audience online today, by further adapting our products to better addresstheir evolving requirements as well as offering them other products and services that they use frequently and address similar needs. This market segment ofroughly 300 million people is currently underserved as it is not targeted by the new technology companies that are targeting early hi-tech adapters, or by thelarge conglomerates that seek to service horizontally the general public, rather than a specific vertical demographic. We believe that we, on the other hand,with our successful experience with our IncrediMail email client, are well equipped to address these needs. We have decided to focus on three basic needs forour consumers: communications, photo sharing and safety and security. These are all areas that our research indicates are frequently used by our audienceonline (e.g., more than once a month and often multiple times a week) and are related to each other. Communications which is staple for anyone online today,includes sharing photos and other information and attachments, and unfortunately given its very nature and ubiquity this same communication platform isthe biggest cause of viruses and malware for one’s computer as hackers and criminals use the trust of a friend and the delivery mechanism of photo sharingand email to launch cyber security attacks. Search generated revenues We offer our users the ability to search by collaborating with premium search companies, primarily Google Inc., and we receive a portion of therevenues generated by these companies through the search process. Given the new size of our combined operations, which nearly doubled as a result of the acquisition of SweetIM, we should be able to benefit fromthe increase in scale. Google’s coverage and service offering is the one most suited to our global distribution and provides the best monetization opportunityfor our products. Nonetheless, we continue to explore opportunities to work with other search providers. As part of this effort, on February 6, 2013 weannounced a new distribution agreement with Microsoft’s search engine, Bing. The addition of Bing will enable us to diversify our search generationrevenues and reduce somewhat our prior sole source dependency on Google. Other advertising and other revenues We utilize the distribution of our products and their presence in the user’s desktop computer to generate other advertising revenues from methodssuch as display ads and banners, as well as for generating revenues by collaborating with other companies to offer their products to those that download ourproducts. For a breakdown of total revenues by category of activity, see "Item 5.A Operating Results — Revenues." Our Products Our products are currently available in seven languages in addition to English. Prices and license fees for our premium products range between $5and $40, varying based on market, length of license period and whether the products are offered together. We offer the following products, all of which maybe downloaded over the Internet through a personal computer running on a Microsoft Windows operating system: Communication vertical: ·IncrediMail is our communication client, available over the Internet it its basic version free of charge, used for managing email messagesand Facebook feeds, with many graphic and personalizing capabilities. However, most important is that it is safe, simple and easy to use.The premium version of this software offers, for an annual subscription fee, VIP support and enhanced graphic capabilities, as well asadvanced anti-spam software for a separate annual subscription. In March 2013, we introduced IncrediMail for the iPad. IncrediMail for the iPad is one of the first email applications truly adapted fortouch-screen devices. It redesigns the inbox, unifies multiple email accounts, creates a photo inbox from friends and family Facebookphotos, and elevates messages so their contents can easily be seen by users at a glance, in an intuitive “magazine-by-touch” format. ·SweetIM is free downloadable and easy to use software that enables users to enhance their messaging experience and express themselves increative ways across online platforms, such as messenger, email, etc. 23 Digital photo vertical: ·Smilebox is an Internet photo sharing service available for the desktop and smart-phone. oOn the desktop, Smilebox can be used both on the PC and the Mac, making it easy to create digital creations from personal photosusing a range of digital designs including invitations, greetings, collages, scrapbooks, photo albums and slideshows. Thesecreations can then be shared free of charge via email, Facebook, Twitter, Print, DVD or photo frames. Revenues are generated fromsubscriptions for premium content and features, advertising from creations that are shared for free, printing revenues from creationsthat are printed to store or printed and shipped to home and search revenues for consumers that elect to have Smilebox providetheir default search results. oSmilebox is also available free of charge for the iPhone, making it easy to personalize and share photos in real time, directly fromthe device. Personalization options include captions, stickers and frames, and sharing options include email, Facebook and SMS. Products under Development Our research and development activities are conducted internally with a 117 person research and development staff. Our research and developmentefforts are focused on the development of upgraded software and, new features and enabling new platforms for our existing product suite. In 2012 we increased our development investment effort, focusing on enhancing our product pipeline in general and on mobile platforms inparticular. These efforts produced the mobile Smilebox application for the iPhone this year, and our IncrediMail email client application for the iPad releasedin the first quarter of 2013 We intend to continue this effort in 2013 by introducing additional products and focusing on adapting our existing products foruse on mobile platforms, including the iPhone, iPad, Android and possibly Windows Mobile platforms as well. In addition, we intend to continue enhancingour back-end systems, supporting our analytical capabilities and our growth, as well as developing an ad-serving platform enabling us to significantlyincrease our non-search advertising revenues. Sales, Marketing and Distribution Our products are distributed and sold throughout the world in more than 100 countries. The following table shows the search generated revenues andproducts sold by territory in 2012: (*) Search GeneratedRevenuesProduct RevenuesTier 147%84% Tier 235%8% Tier 318%8% (*) Tier 1: United States, Canada, United Kingdom & Australia; Tier 2: France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland; Tier 3:Other As of December 31, 2012, we had 50 employees in our sales and marketing department. Seasonality In the past we relied mainly on "viral marketing" to increase our user base. However, since 2011 we have been significantly increasing ourinvestment in marketing with customer acquisition efforts aimed at accelerating our growth. This has brought dramatic growth in the number of downloads,registered users, and as a result, revenues in general and search generated revenues in particular. We have typically experienced stronger product sales in the first and fourth quarters, principally because our products are purchased in holiday salesin December or in the after-holiday sales in January. This is especially so regarding our Smilebox photo-sharing software. This is in addition to the generalseasonality of the Internet as well as e-commerce being more active in the winter months. In recent years, as search generated revenues accounted for agrowing and more dominant portion of our revenues, the seasonality of our revenues has decreased. The more product sales we have as a portion of our totalsales, the greater the seasonality. 24 Intellectual Property We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws and confidentiality and invention assignment agreements to protectour intellectual property rights. However, we do not currently believe that they provide a significant competitive advantage. Most of the components of our software products were developed solely by us. We have licensed certain components of our software from thirdparties. Except for our agreements regarding anti-spam software and some of our content licenses, most of these licenses entailed a one-time fee or are"freeware". We believe that these components are not material to the overall performance of our software and may be replaced without significant difficulty. In July 2006, we were granted a patent in the United States entitled “System and Method for Visual Feedback of Command Execution in ElectronicMail Systems”. In 2012, the Israeli Patent Office issued a patent corresponding to that U.S. patent. In 2012, we were granted a patent in the United States entitled "Interactive Message Editing System and Method". A corresponding application isstill pending in China. In 2012, we filed two patent applications, one in Israel entitled “A Method and apparatus for Sharing Personalized Homepage with a Plurality ofUsers”, and the other in the United States entitled “A Method for Displaying E-mail Messages to a User”. In February 2013, we filed a corresponding patentapplication to the Israeli application in the United States. We enter into licensing arrangements with third parties for the use of software components, graphic, sound and multimedia content integrated intoour products. We have registered: (i) "Perion" as a trademark in Israel and are in the process of completing the registration of "Perion" in the United States and theEuropean Community (a community Trademark); (ii) "IncrediMail" and "PhotoJoy" as trademarks in the United States, the European Community (acommunity Trademark) and China; (iii) “Smilebox Teeth Design” in the United States; (iv) “Smilebox” in Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Japan,Korea, United Kingdom and the United States; and (v) "SWEETPACKS" and "SWEETIM" in the United States. We have pending trademark applications of “Perion” in the United States and the European Community (a community Trademark). Of which theapplication in the United States has already been allowed. All employees and consultants are required to execute confidentiality covenants in connection with their employment and consulting relationshipswith us. In addition, our consultant agreements contain assignment and waiver provisions relating to consultant rights in respect of inventions. However,there can be no assurance that these arrangements will provide us with adequate protection. Although our employment agreements contain assignment andwaiver provisions relating to employee rights in respect of inventions created within the course of their employment with us, including in respect of "ServiceInventions", as defined under the Israeli Patents Law, 5727-1967, we cannot guarantee that such waiver of rights to receive compensation for ServiceInventions will be upheld by Israeli courts, due to a recent ruling by the Israeli Supreme Court which left the validity of such a waiver to further judicialreview. Competition The vertical markets in which we are active are subject to intense competition. Our products compete in the specialized market for email softwareproducts, digital photo services, and utility toolbars. In addition, we compete with many other companies offering search services and other software inconjunction with changing user’s default search provider. Perion was among the first companies to offer to the consumer email market a solution that combines an easy to use and intuitive email product witha gallery of creative content. Providing this kind of solution and compiling content is a lengthy process and based on a prolonged relationship with our users,and we have been doing it since 2000. We believe we have established ourselves with our unique demographic segment, as a provider of solutions answeringto these needs, and we believe that we have as such an advantage over many of our competitors. In the digital photo sharing space, our Smilebox product is unique in that it is the only service that enables consumers to create a complete rangeof digital creations that can be shared electronically via email, Facebook or Twitter complete with music, interactivity and animation or physically via print,DVD or photo frame. Smilebox is unique in personalizing the photo sharing experience on smart-phones, by easily enabling the user to personalize theirphotos with content, and which can then be shared in a way that is personal via email, SMS or Facebook. 25 Our ability to compete effectively depends upon our ability to distinguish our Company and our products from our competitors and their products,and includes the following factors: ·the simplicity of use ·product quality; ·product pricing; ·the creativity, variety and volume of content accessible through our software; ·success and timing of new product development and introductions; ·maintaining our reputation for safe and reliable products; and ·development of successful marketing channels. With respect to our communication products, we have competition on both the desktop and the mobile platforms. On the desktop, our maincompetition is with web-based email software products, such as Google's Gmail, Yahoo!'s Mail and Microsoft's Hotmail, each providing solutions that don'trequire the download of an email client. On the mobile platforms, we see competition from alternative email clients, such as Mailbox, Inky, Mailbird andSparrow. The web-based and mobile email market is characterized by significant competition, changing technologies and evolving product and serviceenhancements. Google, Yahoo! and Microsoft each offer a web-based e-mail service in addition to the many other services they provide, such as desktop search,local search, instant messaging, photos, maps, video sharing, mobile applications, and so on. We expect these competitors to increasingly use their financialand engineering resources to compete with our client-based e-mail service, and if we are unable to successfully compete with them, our results of operationsmay be adversely affected. In addition, there is some competition in the area of downloadable email clients, such as WikMail, Arcsoft Multimedia Email 3 and Mind SparkProducts. In addition, our products also face competition from general email software programs offered to the private market by large Internet and softwarecompanies, such as AOL9 by America Online, Inc., Eudora by QUALCOMM Incorporated (NASDAQ: QCOM), Thunderbird by Mozilla Corporation andOutlook Express by Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT), some of which may also incorporate certain special features that provide a personalized emailexperience, some of them offering creative graphic backgrounds, such as Yahoo! Mail. Many of the large Internet and software companies offer their emailsoftware programs free of charge. Competition with these products, reliance on viral marketing and technical difficulties have resulted in a reduction of thenumber of downloads, market share, prices and margins. In the mobile space, some of these applications offer more advanced utility features, leveraging this for broader distribution. Many of our competitors have more established brands, products and customer relationships than we do, which could inhibit our market penetrationefforts even if they may not offer a solution that is as simple to use, or that provides a customized and entertaining email experience similar to IncrediMail.For example, consumers may choose to receive an extensive package of Internet and email services from a more dominant and recognized company, such asMicrosoft Corporation (Outlook Express) or America Online, Inc. (AOL). If we are unable to achieve continued market penetration, we will be unable tocompete effectively. With respect to our Smilebox photo sharing product, Smilebox competes broadly within the photo services category. Competition includes AmericaGreetings and Hallmark from the greetings category, Shutterfly, and Snapfish from the photo products category and services like Flikr, Facebook andInstagram in the social photo sharing category. In addition, as a major part of our revenues stem from our offering of search properties, we compete with the search engine providers themselves suchas Google, Bing and others. In addition, we compete with many other companies offering consumer downloadable software, albeit totally different software,utilizing the same strategy, to offer their search properties, such as Interactive Corporation, AOL, AVG Technologies, Babylon and others. Finally, many of our current and potential competitors have significantly greater financial, research and development, back-end analytical systems,manufacturing, and sales and marketing resources than we have. These competitors could use their greater financial resources to acquire other companies togain enhanced name recognition and market share, as well as to develop new technologies, enhanced systems and analytical capabilities, products or featuresthat could effectively compete with our existing product lines and search service. Demand for our products and search services could be diminished byproducts, services and technologies offered by competitors, whether or not their products and technologies are equivalent or superior. 26 Government Regulation The United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Israel and other jurisdictions have adopted laws that could have an impact on ourbusiness, including the ones described in this section. There are still relatively few laws or regulations specifically addressing the Internet. In some instances, in the European Union particularly, thosethat have been implemented are dating rapidly as online practice (and particularly social commerce and the extent of online interaction and communication)evolves. As a result, the manner in which existing laws and regulations should be applied to the Internet in general, and how they relate to our business inparticular, is unclear in many cases and varies from county to country. Such uncertainty arises under existing laws regulating matters, including user privacy,defamation, access changes, “net-neutrality” pricing, advertising, taxation, gambling, sweepstakes, promotions, content regulation, quality of products andservices, and intellectual property ownership and infringement. To resolve some of the current legal uncertainty, it is possible that new laws and regulations (and associated guidance) will be adopted that will bedirectly applicable to our activities. Any existing or new laws, regulations or legislation applicable to us could expose us to potential liability, includingsignificant expenses necessary to comply with such laws and regulations, and could dampen the growth in use of the Internet in general. In connection withthis, some of the countries in which we operate have increased their enforcement of local laws and therefore the potential impact of failing to comply withlocal and international legislative requirements has increased significantly. When users visit our website or install and use our software, certain "cookies" (pieces of information sent by a web server to a user’s browser) may begenerated by us and third parties with whom we cooperate, including our advertisers, and may be placed on our customers’ computers. While we believe thatour use of cookies does not result in personal identification, it has been argued that Internet protocol addresses and cookies are intrinsically personallyidentifiable information that is subject to privacy standards. In addition, the impact of new regulation in the European Union is that, regardless of personalidentification via cookies (or any similar devices), there are now obligations to inform consumers how cookies are used and to provide information aboutcookies. Unless limited exceptions apply, we will now only be able to place a cookie on terminal equipment where the user or subscriber has given theirconsent. We cannot assure you that our current policies and procedures will meet these restrictive standards, but we will continue to assess our use of cookies,and where necessary, work with third parties serving cookies via our websites and take steps to provide transparency, as well as assess which solution forobtaining user consent will be most appropriate. The compliance situation is compounded as not all of the E.U. legislation is currently in force and there arelikely to be a number of variations in the approach and regulations. Today we have limited technical or operational capability to vary our website orpractices on a country to country basis. There are no specific laws restricting the use of such cookies in the United States. While some courts there previouslyquestioned whether placement of cookies on a user’s hard drive is permissible without the user’s consent, to the best of our knowledge no liability has beenfound. Our approach to privacy and data protection compliance includes both technological solutions and a focus on employee awareness and behavior.We post our privacy policy and practices concerning cookies and the use and disclosure of user data on our websites. Our websites inform users through ourprivacy policy what information we collect about them and about their use of our services. As mentioned above, in the European Union at least, it is likelythat further transparency and consent will be required in connection with some of our activities which use cookies and similar technologies. We also provideusers with the opportunity to opt out of receiving certain communications from us. Any failure by us to comply with our posted privacy policy, FTC requirements or other domestic or international privacy-related laws andregulations could result in proceedings by governmental or regulatory bodies that could potentially harm our business, results of operations and financialcondition, or result in private civil actions for damages and equitable relief. In addition, abuse by third parties of the data we collect could potentially subjectus to liability. In addition, the negative public perception, potential reputational damage and associated public concern over privacy practice may equallyimpact our business in the event of any adverse publicity around failure to comply or any regulatory investigation into our practices. 27 In this regard, there are still a large number of legislative proposals before the European Union, as well as before the U.S. Congress and various statelegislative bodies, regarding privacy and other issues related to our business. Other jurisdictions could also adopt laws and regulations that could adverselyimpact our company and business. It is not possible to predict whether or when such laws, regulations and legislation may be adopted, and certain proposals,if adopted, could harm our business through a decrease in user registrations and revenues. These decreases could be caused by, among other possibleprovisions, the required use of disclaimers, mandatory consents or affirmations or other requirements before users can utilize our services. Israel Our database, which includes a database of registered users, falls within the definition of a database that requires registration under the IsraeliProtection of Privacy Law of 1981 (the “Privacy Law”). Maintaining a database other than in compliance with the Privacy Law may subject the owner,holder, manager and operator to criminal liability and civil liability. We registered our database with the Data Base Registrar on June 21, 2004. In addition to the registration obligations under the Privacy Law, the Privacy Law also determines that any request for information should beaccompanied by a notice that indicates: whether a person is legally required to expose such information, or that such exposure is subject to such person’sown will and consent; the purpose for which the information is requested; and to whom the information is to be delivered and for what purpose. The law alsodetermines that any person is entitled to inspect any information about him which is kept in a certain database. It should be stated that violating suchrequirements can result in imprisonment. The Privacy Law stipulates that an infringement of privacy is a civil wrong action, and authorizes the court to setcompensation of NIS 50,000 (approximately $14,000) without proof of injury. The database registrar has been granted with wide authorities in event ofviolation of the provisions of the law, such as canceling the registration of a certain database. The Israeli Copyrights Law of 2007 (the “Copyrights Law”) protects, among others, artistic works, as well as sound recordings and computerprograms, foreign work and moral rights (the right of paternity and the right of integrity). The Copyrights Law sets forth the amount of compensation that acourt may award to a claimant without proof of injury, for each copyright or moral right infringement, at NIS 100,000 (approximately $27,000). On December 1, 2008, Amendment No. 40 to the Israeli Communications Law (Transmissions and Broadcasting) of 1982 (the “Israeli Anti-SpamLaw”) came into effect. The Israeli Anti-Spam Law prohibits dissemination of commercial e-mail advertisements, as well as other forms of electronicadvertisements, without the recipient’s prior express consent. The Israeli Anti-Spam Law applies equally to entities themselves offering goods or services andentities distributing electronic advertisements on their behalf. Consent may be obtained in writing, by electronic message or recorded conversation.Advertisers may make a single contact with business recipients in order to solicit such consent. Recipients may revoke their consent at any time, either inwriting or in the same medium used to transmit the advertisement. It is permitted to distribute commercial promotional electronic advertisements withoutprior recipient consent where all of the following conditions are met: (i) the recipient provided his contact information to the advertiser in the course ofpurchasing goods or services or negotiations for the purchase of goods or services, and the advertiser provided notice that the details so provided would beused for purposes of disseminating such advertisements; (ii) the advertiser provided the recipient the opportunity to refuse to receive such advertisements,either generally or of a particular type, and the recipient did not do so; and (iii) the advertisement relates to goods or services similar to those described in (i)above. In addition to the consent requirements described above, the Israeli Anti-Spam Law requires that all electronic advertisements include a clear,conspicuous notice containing: (i) identification of the message as an advertisement (for email communications, the word “advertisement” must appear in theemail subject line; in all other electronic advertisements, such identification must appear in the beginning of the advertisement); (ii) the advertiser’s identityand contact information; and (iii) notification of the recipient’s right to opt out of receiving such advertisements and means for opting out (including anemail address for email advertisements). Violations of the Israeli Anti-Spam Law may carry criminal and civil penalties. Advertisers who disseminateadvertisements in violation of the law are subject to a fine of approximately NIS 226,000 (approximately $54,000). Failure to comply with the mandatorynotice provisions carries a fine of approximately NIS 75,300 (approximately $18,000). Managers and individuals working for the advertiser who areresponsible for marketing or promotions and who do not take sufficient measures to ensure compliance with the law may be personally liable for violations ofthe law and may be subject to a fine of approximately NIS 75,300 (approximately $18,000). There is a statutory presumption that any illegal spam that wassent was sent knowingly, unless proven otherwise. This statutory presumption of knowingly delivering illegal spam cannot even be challenged under certaininstances (such as repeat offenses or distribution to a randomly selected list of addresses). The Israeli Anti-Spam Law also creates a private right of action forviolations; in addition to other compensation to which recipients may be entitled, the court is authorized to award statutory damages of approximately NIS1,000 (approximately $300) per email received in knowing violation of the law. There are also provisions for punitive damages as well as civil tort liabilities.In addition, the Israeli Anti-Spam Law provides for certifying claims against advertisers who violate the Israeli Anti-Spam Law as class-action lawsuits. Inlight of the fact that we are headquartered in Israel and have Israeli customers, we are challenged by these rules with respect to our email campaigns, and non-compliance would expose us to potential fines and sanction, civil tort claims, as well as potential reputational damage. 28 United States The U.S. CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 is intended to regulate spam and create criminal penalties for unmarked and unsolicited email advertisements,sexually-oriented material and emails containing fraudulent headers. The U.S. Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Requiredto Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, or the Patriot Act, is intended to give the government greater ability to conduct surveillance on the Internetby allowing it in certain cases to intercept communications regarding terrorism and compromises to national security. The U.S. Digital Millennium CopyrightAct ("DMCA") is intended to reduce or shield the liability of online service providers for displaying content posted and created by third parties that containcopyright infringing materials, if the provider complies with certain policies, registers a DMCA agent with the U.S Copyright Office and adopts a "take-down" policy that is enforced. We offer such online provider services where our users can share images and other user-generated content. While the DMCAhas provided relatively strong protection to providers from claims of copyright infringement based upon user-generated content, there have been some recentcases and actions that attempt to erode these protections. Therefore, to the extent that the immunity provided by the DMCA weakens, we could face thepotential for claims of copyright infringement based upon such content. The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998, and the Prosecutorial Remedies and Other Tools to End Exploitation of Children Today Actof 2003 (“COPPA”), are intended to restrict the distribution of certain materials deemed harmful to children and impose additional restrictions on the abilityof online services to collect user information from minors without verifiable parental or guardianship consent. In December 2012, the FTC issued new rulesunder COPPA that strengthen existing restrictions on the online collection and use of personal information about children under the age of 13. The newregulations will have a significant impact on the operation of websites, applications, plug-ins, and other online services and may make it more difficult toprovide online content directed toward children. Because of the nature of our business includes, among other things, the placement of cartoon “emoticons” inemails, we anticipate that our services could attract a significant number of users who would fall into the regulated class. Accordingly, our business could beadversely affected by the new rules. In addition, the Protection of Children from Sexual Predators Act of 1998 requires electronic communication service andremote computing service providers to report to law enforcement agencies any knowledge of facts or circumstances from which a violation of specifiedoffenses involving child pornography is apparent Because our services enable users to upload photographs to the internet and share them with others, wecould be subject to liability unless our procedures adequately identify and report such violations of the law. Almost all the states in the United States have data security breach laws that impose various requirements on service providers to report to stateattorneys general and send notices to affected consumers in the event of a breach of security of network and computer systems that compromise a user’spersonal financial and other information, such as social security numbers and financial information. In addition, some state laws govern internet activity generally. For example, the California Online Privacy Protection Act which applies to anyInternet website and mobile application that can be accessed or downloaded by California residents regulates information collected about users. TheMassachusetts Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation established data security regulations (201 CMR 17.00 et seq.) which became effective onMarch 1, 2010. They require any company which possesses the personal information of a Massachusetts resident to adopt and implement a comprehensivewritten information security program. The program must include technical, physical, and administrative safeguards for the protection of personal informationowned, licensed, received, stored, maintained, processed, or otherwise accessed by the company. State legislation could require us to modify our businesspractices and could potentially subject us to liability. The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) was introduced in Congress in 2012 to expand the ability of U.S. law enforcement officials to fight onlinetrafficking in copyrighted intellectual property and counterfeit goods. Provisions include the requesting of court orders to bar advertising networks andpayment facilities from conducting business with infringing websites, and search engines from linking to the websites, and court orders requiring Internetservice providers to block access to the websites. While SOPA was not passed by Congress due to overwhelming public opposition, substitute legislation isbeing proposed, and if passed, could impact content sharing on our products and increase administrative costs that would be incurred to comply with the law. 29 United Kingdom and European Union The U.K. Data Protection Act and similar European Member State implementations of the European Union Data Protection Directive establish a coreframework of rights and duties which are designed to safeguard personal data processed within the European Union. There are other ancillary and related lawsand regulations across the European Union which combine to create an extensive regulatory regime. The core data privacy framework is underpinned by a setof eight straightforward principles which we must apply to safeguard personal data. Any failure to ensure that personal information is processed in accordancewith these principles could result in criminal or civil penalties as well as potentially damage our customers. E.U. data protection legislation further prohibitsthe transfer of personal data to non-EEA countries that do not meet the European “adequacy” standard for privacy protection. The E.U. privacy legislationrequires, among other things, the creation of government data protection agencies, registration of processing with those agencies, and in some instances priorapproval before personal data processing may begin. Such legislation and the associated compliance practices implemented under such legislation mayimpose significant additional costs or restrictions on our business or subject us to additional liabilities. On November 25, 2009, E.U. Directive 2009/136/EC was enacted, which amended certain prior directives affecting online service providersrespecting the processing of personal data and the protection of privacy in the electronic communications sector. As mentioned above, this amendmenttightened the restrictions around the use of cookies with E.U. consumers and this amended "ePrivacy Directive" now requires that: "the storing of information or the gaining of access to information already stored in the terminal equipment of a subscriber or user is only allowedon condition that the subscriber or user concerned has given his or her consent." Some local legislation is now implemented by Member States but others, missing the prescribed deadline for such implementation of May 2011,have not resolved and published their approach to the required changes to legislation. Much about how this new directive may affect our operations in theEuropean Union remains unknown until E.U. Member States pass their own implementing legislation. Valuable associated regulatory guidance on bestpractice in those Member States that have implemented the rules is only slowly being issued, leaving additional uncertainty around the changes which maybe required of our business. While a number of self-regulatory compliance regimes are emerging, none are fully endorsed as offering a full route tocompliance by the regulators and few of the current attempts at compliance within our industry are consistent and there is no definitive picture of "bestpractice" at the current time in our industry. As others in the online market, we are observing the changes in online practice made by our peers and recognizea likely need to amend our practices. Notably, and as mentioned above, Article 66 of the ePrivacy Directive requires both transparency about cookie use and that a provider obtain auser’s consent before a cookie is placed on the user’s computer. While a user’s choice in browser settings to allow cookies has been deemed to suffice inseveral European jurisdictions, these technologies have not yet emerged and as a consequence it is likely that some form of affirmative step is to be necessaryto enable a user to opt in before or at the time the cookie is placed. As clarity around these new rules and associated guidance emerges, we might be requiredto incur costs to ensure compliance and consider solutions or limitation of access to our services, and we might become subject to additional liability.Inevitably the solution required may also have a negative impact on consumer adoption and the types of services and revenue we can derive from cookie useand the information such use can derive. However, there are a number of industry-led initiatives leveraging browser settings and other advances which maylead to more effective and acceptable routes to legal compliance. Similar to the U.S. CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, the European Union has an equally tough legal regime as a result of the Privacy and Electronic CommunicationsDirective (2002/58/EC), which specifically applies to the sending of unsolicited commercial email. All E.U. Member States now have implementationswithin their own national legislation which implement these rules (though not always on the same basis, which complicates our compliance). As aconsequence, direct marketing email messages may be sent only to subscribers who have given their prior consent ("opt-in") although certain exemptionsapply where there has been a prior course of dealing with the consumer in question, which can provide our business with more flexibility. We are challengedby these (and associated) rules when mounting E.U. email campaigns, and non-compliance would expose us to potential fines, regulatory investigations andsanctions on a country-to-country basis, as well as potentially reputational damage. 30 C. ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE IncrediMail, Inc., our wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary, owns all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Smilebox Inc., a Washingtoncorporation. SweetIM Ltd., our wholly-owned Belize subsidiary, owns all of the outstanding ordinary shares of SweetIM Technologies Ltd. D. PROPERTY, PLANTS AND EQUIPMENT We lease three facilities, located in Tel Aviv, Israel, Ra'anana, Israel and Redmond, Washington. One lease in Tel Aviv for a total area of 18,300square feet expires in 2015, with a monthly rent of approximately $18 per square foot. In December 2012, we increased the area leased by 8,310 square feetwith a monthly rent of approximately $19 per square foot, also set to expire in 2015. The lease in Ra'anana is for a total area of 10,753 square feet and expiresin 2013, with a monthly rent of approximately $15 per square foot. We began to pay for this lease in December 2012, as part of the SweetIM acquisition, andwe do not expect to renew this lease when it expires in December 31, 2013. The lease in Redmond for a total area of 8,300 square feet expires in 2015, with anoption to extend for another 2 to 5 years, and a monthly rent of approximately $19 per square foot.We believe that our current facilities are adequate to meet our current needs and we believe that suitable additional space will be available as neededto accommodate ongoing operations and any such growth. We own approximately 196 servers located in Israel and Seattle, Washington. We also rent the services of approximately 90 additional serverslocated around the world. Our servers include mainly web servers, application servers, mail servers and database servers. Bezeq provides our Internet andrelated telecommunications services in Israel, including hosting and location facilities, needed to operate our websites. Bezeq is Israel’s largest provider ofsuch services and is a member of Bezeq Group, Israel’s incumbent national telecommunications provider. Bezeq provides these services through standardpurchase orders and invoices. We add servers and expand our systems located at their facilities as our operations require. We believe there are manyalternative providers of these services both within and outside of Israel. In addition to local servers, we have begun to use cloud based services provided byAmazon and other companies. ITEM 4.A UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS Not applicable. ITEM 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and therelated notes to the financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussionand analysis contains forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Exchange Act,including, without limitation, statements regarding the Company’s expectations, beliefs, intentions, or future strategies that are signified by the words"expects," "anticipates," "intends," "believes," or similar language. These forward looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Ouractual results and timing of selected events may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward looking statements as a result of many factors,including those discussed under "Item 3.D Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this annual report. A. OPERATING RESULTS Overview We design and market a suite of downloadable consumer products that are simple, safe and useful. These include primarily, customized andentertaining email software products, software for sharing digital photo creations, instant messaging enhancement software and a variety of free, fun, easy touse and safe application and downloadable expression content. We believe we are unique in addressing our demographic market of second wave adopters.We believe that the user experience we have created has been successful in attracting a unique underserved demographic segment, seeking softwareapplications that make their life a little simpler and more enjoyable. In addition, together with our products, we offer users consumer software products ownedby other companies, which are distributed in conjunction with our products and search services provided by our search engine partners. 31 In the last quarter of 2012, we recorded an average of approximately 11.5 million installs each month. As of December 31, 2012, we had an installedbase of approximately 59.9 million users, including 413,000 subscribers to our premium products. In the last quarter of 2012, our install base generated over1,494 million search queries, our email users sent over 251 million IncrediMail emails and our Smilebox users shared 1.5 million creations each month.Included in our “installed base” are users who have our software installed on their computer on the measurement date. The length of use varies dramaticallybased on the product, whether it’s the free version or paid for, when the product was downloaded and other factors. We believe our historical track record ofour users accepting and utilizing the search properties we offer, as well as converting registered users to purchasing customers, represents a convincingvalidation of our business strategy. Prices and license fees for our products vary based on market, length of license period and whether the products are offered together. Our prices andfees range from less than $5 to about $40, with subscription periods varying between a month and a year. These prices are subject to market conditions andcan vary in currencies. Because a significant portion of our revenues come through other aggregators, it is difficult for us to know whether and to what extentinflation or a fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates have had a material effect on our revenues and therefore there is little we can do to address theseissues. Recent Acquisitions The following acquisitions were accounted for by the acquisition method of accounting, and, accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to theassets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values. The results of operations related to each acquisition are included in ourconsolidated statement of income from the date of acquisition. On August 31, 2011, we completed the acquisition of Smilebox Inc., a Washington corporation, through our Delaware subsidiary, by way of areverse triangular merger. Smilebox is an Internet photo sharing service available for the desktop and smart-phone, with an easy-to-use, downloadabledesktop application that allows consumers to use personal photos and videos to construct unique creations, including: greeting cards, invitations,slideshows, scrapbooks and photo albums. The acquisition added another major product to our portfolio of products, significantly diversifying our revenuemix. We paid $25 million, substantially in cash, at the closing, and an additional payment of $7 million, substantially in cash, seven months after the closing. On November 30, 2012, we completed the purchase of all the outstanding shares of SweetIM Ltd., a Belize company that wholly owns SweetIMTechnologies Ltd., an Israeli consumer internet company, or SweetIM. SweetIM produces a variety of free, fun, easy to use and safe applications anddownloadable content for everyday use under the "SweetPacks" trade name. Like us, SweetIM generates a significant majority of its revenues through theGoogle AdSense program. We paid $10 million in cash and 1.99 million of our ordinary shares at the closing. A second payment of up to $7.5 million in cashis due 12 months after the closing, and a third payment of up to $7.5 million in cash is due 18 months after the closing, if certain achievements are met. Thesecond payment will be subject to acceleration if we publish a consolidated balance sheet reflecting an aggregate amount of cash, cash equivalents andmarketable securities of less than $4.0 million, unless we present evidence of an available credit line in an amount that, together with the foregoing balance,exceeds $4.0 million or we have otherwise remedied the shortfall. 32 Revenues We generate our revenues primarily from three major sources: (i) search generated revenues and other services, (ii) sale of premium software productsand solutions, and (iii) advertising and other. The following table shows our revenues by category (in thousands of U.S. dollars): Year Ended December 31, 2010 2011 2012 Search $22,792 $25,466 $38,061 Products 5,404 7,191 17,574 Other 1,301 2,816 4,588 Total revenues $29,497 $35,473 $60,223 Cost of Revenues Cost of revenues consists primarily of salaries and related expenses, license fees, amortization of acquired technology, amortization of capitalizedresearch and development costs and payments for content and server maintenance, all related to our product revenues and communicating with our users. Thedirect cost relating to search and advertising revenues are immaterial. Research and Development Expenses, net Our research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and other personnel-related expenses for employees primarily engaged inresearch and development activities, allocated facilities costs, subcontractors and consulting fees. Our research and development expenditures in 2012increased compared to the prior year but decreased as a percentage of sales. The increase was primarily due to costs associated with our mobile productdevelopment for Smilebox on the iPhone, which is already being distributed, and IncrediMail for the iPad, which was released in the first quarter of 2013. Weexpect this trend to continue in 2013, with our research and development costs continuing to increase in nominal dollars, while decreasing as a percentage ofsales, as our sales continue to grow at an accelerated pace. The nominal increase will enable us to continue to enrich our product pipeline going forward,particularly on mobile platforms. Selling and Marketing Expenses Our selling and marketing expenses consist of customer acquisition cost, salaries and other personnel-related expenses for employees primarilyengaged in marketing activities, allocated facilities costs, as well as other outsourced marketing activity. As part of our strategy to accelerate growth, weincreased customer acquisition costs dramatically in 2011 and 2012, particularly in the second half of 2012, and expect to increase the pace of investmenteven further in 2013. This investment aims to increase the number of product downloads, users, search queries generated by those downloading our softwareand, subsequently, revenue from search, premium subscriptions and advertising. Customer acquisition costs were $1.8 million, $8.0 million and $22.1million in 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively. The number of employees in sales and marketing were 18, 32, and 50 at the end of 2010, 2011 and 2012,respectively. General and Administrative Expenses (“G&A”) Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and other personnel-related expenses for executive and administrativepersonnel, allocated facilities costs, professional fees and other general corporate expenses. In order to facilitate our strategy for accelerated organic and non-organic growth, starting towards the end of 2010 and continuing into the beginning of 2011, we enhanced our management team with experiencedprofessionals, capable of taking the Company to the next level, including engaging a new experienced CEO, creating a corporate development departmentand hiring a VP to manage it, and creating an internal legal department with a General Counsel. With the acquisition of Smilebox in the second half of 2011and the execution of our acquisition strategy, we continued to enhance our management capabilities, particularly enhancing our budget and controls. As aresult, G&A expenses increased nominally in 2010, 2011 and in 2012. In 2011 and 2012, on a GAAP basis, G&A expenses also included significant directacquisition expenses incurred in connection with the acquisitions made in each year. However, excluding acquisition-related expenses, as a percentage ofsales, G&A in 2012 was at its lowest level since going public in 2006. Looking forward, we expect G&A expenses, excluding costs stemming from newacquisitions, to continue to increase nominally to accommodate our growth and meet our regulatory requirements, without increasing as a percentage of salesin 2013. 33 Income Tax Expense Our Israeli operations were granted "Approved Enterprise" and "Beneficiary Enterprise" status. These programs allow for 0% corporate tax for alimited period of time on undistributed profits generated from operations, and preferential taxation of the distributed portion, requiring regular Israelicorporate tax on income generated from other sources. To the extent we distribute dividends from profits generated under this program, as we did in 2009 and2010, the distributed sum would benefit only partially from this program. We have elected to implement the recent tax reform, referred to as a PreferredEnterprise, starting with our 2011 "preferred income", according to which, a reduced tax rate of 15% is applied to our preferred income. A distribution from aPreferred Enterprise out of the “preferred income” would be subject to 15% withholding tax for Israeli-resident individuals and non-Israeli residents (subjectto applicable treaty rates). See "Item 10.E Taxation - Israeli Taxation - Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959" and Item 8. Financial Information A.Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information - Policy on Dividend Distribution", for more information about these programs and the Company’sdividend policy. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operation are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared inconformity with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts ofassets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate these estimates on an on-going basis. Webase our estimates on our historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results ofwhich form the basis for making judgments about the carrying amount values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actualresults may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Under U.S. GAAP, when more than one accounting method or policy or itsapplication is generally accepted, our management selects the accounting method or policy that it believes to be most appropriate in the specificcircumstances. Our management considers some of these accounting policies to be critical. A critical accounting policy is an accounting policy that management believes is both most important to the portrayal of our financial condition andresults and requires management’s most difficult subjective or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make accounting estimates about the effectof matters that are inherently uncertain. While our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 3 to our financial statements, we believe thefollowing accounting policies to be critical: Revenue recognition Search generated and other revenues from advertising, whether from keyword search, advertising on our website or in our email client, arerecognized when we are entitled to receive the fee. Advertisers are charged and pay monthly, based on the number of clicks generated by users clicking onthese ads. Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists based upon a written agreement or purchase order with a search provider or display advertiser.Delivery occurs when an advertisement is offered by us and a user clicks on it in the case of a cost-per-click (CPC) arrangement, or the requisite number ofimpressions are displayed pursuant to a cost-per-thousand impression (CPM) arrangement, or when a user installs our software. In accordance with ASC 605-50, "Customer Payments and Incentives", we account for cash consideration given to customers, for which we do notreceive a separately identifiable benefit or cannot reasonably estimate fair value, as a reduction of revenue rather than as an expense. Revenues from email software license sales are recognized when all criteria outlined in ASC 985-605, "Software – Revenue Recognition" are met.Revenues from software license are recognized when persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, delivery of the product has occurred, the fee is fixed ordeterminable and collectability is probable. For substantially all of our software arrangements, we evaluate each of these criteria as follows: Evidence of an arrangement: We consider a clicking on "acceptance" of the agreement terms to be evidence of an arrangement. 34 Delivery: Delivery is considered to occur when the license key is sent via email to the customer or alternatively the customer is given access todownload the licensed key. Fixed or determinable fee: Fees are determinable at the time of sale. Customers are charged immediately through credit cards. In addition, the feesare subject to a refund policy period, currently up to 30 days. Collection is probable: We are subject to a minimal amount of collection risk related to software sold to our customers as these are obtained throughcredit card sales. Revenues from licensing of premium products are recognized over the term of the licensing period, which currently are either one month or one year.Until the end of 2011, we offered lifetime licenses for one of our premium products as well. While offered, our estimation of the lifetime usage of that productwas six years, based on historical data collected. We no longer offer that service, offering all users who had purchased the service in the past to download totheir local computer all the premium content previously included in the service. Any user not having downloaded the content may still contact us andreceive a copy of the premium content. As the service has been terminated, that premium content collection is no longer updated, nor can it be accessedthrough our software. The balance of revenues previously deferred over the remaining lifetime of the service was truncated and recognized as revenues in thebeginning of 2012. These accounted for less than 3% of our revenues for the year. Our deferred revenue consists of the unamortized balance of the license fees, which totaled $5.1 million as of December 31, 2012, all of which wasclassified as short-term deferred revenues on our balance sheet. The amount of revenues derived from multiple element arrangements is not material to our results of operations. Stock-Based Compensation We account for share-based payment awards made to employees, non employees and directors in accordance with ASC 718, "Compensation – StockCompensation", which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense based on estimated fair values. Determining the fair value ofstock-based awards at the grant date requires the exercise of judgment, as well as the determination of the amount of stock-based awards that are expected tobe forfeited. If actual forfeitures differ from our estimates, equity-based compensation expense and our results of operations would be impacted. Expense isgenerally recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period during which awards are expected to vest, except for awards with market or performanceconditions, which are recognized using the accelerated method. Total equity-based compensation expense recorded during 2012 was $1.1 million, of which $0.2 million was included in research and developmentcosts, $0.2 million in selling and marketing expenses and $0.7 million in general and administrative expenses. As of December 31, 2012, the maximum total compensation cost related to options granted to employees, non-employees and directors not yetrecognized, amounted to $2.3 million. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.37 years. We estimate the fair value of standard stock options granted using the Binomial method option-pricing model and options with exercise that issubject to a stock price target, using the Monte Carlo simulations. The option-pricing models require a number of assumptions, of which the most significantare expected stock price volatility and the expected option term. In 2010, expected volatility was calculated based upon an average between historicalvolatilities of our shares, entities similar to the Company's characteristics, and an industry sector index, since we did not have sufficient company specificdata. In 2011 and 2012, expected volatility was calculated based upon actual historical stock price movements over the most recent period ending on thegrant date, equal to the expected option term. The expected option term was calculated based on our assumptions of early exercise multiples, which werecalculated based on comparable companies, and a termination exit rate, which was calculated based on actual historical data. The expected option termrepresents the period that our stock options are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield from U.S. Treasury zero-couponbonds with an equivalent term. In November 2010, our board of directors changed our dividend policy so that we do not distribute any cash dividends. 35 Taxes on Income We are subject to income taxes in Israel and the United States. Significant judgment is required in evaluating our uncertain tax positions anddetermining our provision for income taxes. Based on the guidance in ASC 740 “Income Taxes”, we use a two-step approach to recognizing and measuringuncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it ismore likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is tomeasure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. Although we believe we have adequately reserved for our uncertain tax positions, no assurance can be given that the final tax outcome of thesematters will not be different. We adjust these reserves in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the closing of a tax audit, the refinement of anestimate or changes in tax laws. To the extent that the final tax outcome of these matters is different than the amounts recorded, such differences will impactthe provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made. The provision for income taxes includes the impact of reserve provisionsand changes to reserves that are considered appropriate, as well as the related interest. Starting 2011, interest is recorded within finance income, net. Accounting for tax positions requires judgments, including estimating reserves for potential uncertainties. We also assess our ability to utilize taxattributes, including those in the form of carry forwards for which the benefits have already been reflected in the financial statements. We record valuationallowances for deferred tax assets that we believe are not more likely than not to be realized in future periods. While we believe the resulting tax balances asof December 31, 2012 and 2011 are appropriately accounted for, the ultimate outcome of such matters could result in favorable or unfavorable adjustments toour consolidated financial statements and such adjustments could be material. See Note 10 of our consolidated financial statements for further informationregarding income taxes. We have filed or are in the process of filing local and foreign tax returns that are subject to audit by the respective tax authorities.The amount of income tax we pay is subject to ongoing audits by the tax authorities, which often result in proposed assessments. We believe that weadequately provided for any reasonably foreseeable outcomes related to tax audits and settlement. However, our future results may include favorable orunfavorable adjustments to our estimated tax liabilities in the period the assessments are made or resolved, audits are closed or when statutes of limitation onpotential assessments expire. Business combinations We account for business combinations following ASC 805 “Business Combinations”, which requires that we allocate the purchase price of acquiredcompanies to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on their estimated fair values. In addition, we expense acquisition-related expenses as they are incurred. We engage a third-party appraisal firm to assist management in determining the fair values of certain assets acquiredand liabilities assumed. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Management makes estimates of fair value based upon assumptions it believes to be reasonable. These estimates are based on historical experienceand information obtained from the management of the acquired companies and relevant market and industry data and are, inherently, uncertain. Criticalestimates made in valuing certain of the intangible assets include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) future expected cash flows from license sales,maintenance agreements, customer contracts and acquired developed technologies and patents; (ii) the acquired company’s brand and market position aswell as assumptions about the period of time the acquired brand will continue to be used in the combined company’s product portfolio; (iii) expected costs todevelop the in-process research and development into commecrially viable products and estimating cash flows from the projects when completed; and (iv)discount rates. Unanticipated events and circumstances may occur which may affect the accuracy or validity of such assumptions, estimates or actual results.Changes to these estimates, relating to circumstances that existed at the acquisition date, are recorded as an adjustment to goodwill during the purchase priceallocation period (generally within one year of the acquisition date) and as operating expenses, if otherwise. In connection with purchase price allocations, we estimate the fair value of the support obligations assumed in connection with acquisitions. Theestimated fair value of the support obligations is determined utilizing a cost build-up approach. The cost build-up approach determines fair value byestimating the costs related to fulfilling the obligations plus a normal profit margin. The sum of the costs and operating profit approximates, in theory, theamount that we would be required to pay a third party to assume the support obligation. See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for additionalinformation on accounting for our recent acquisition. 36 Goodwill Goodwill is measured as the excess of the cost of acquisition over the sum of the amounts assigned to tangible and identifiable intangible assetsacquired less liabilities assumed. We review goodwill for impairment annually in October each year, and whenever events or changes in circumstancesindicate its carrying value may not be recoverable in accordance with ASC 350 “Intangibles – Goodwill and other”. Goodwill impairment is deemed to existif the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. If the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, then we wouldrecord an impairment loss equal to the difference. We operate in one operating segment, and this segment comprises our only reporting unit. In calculating the fair value of the reporting unit, we usedour market equity capitalization. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, we then calculate the goodwill’s implied fair value by performing a hypotheticalallocation of the reporting unit’s fair value to the underlying assets and liabilities, with the residual being the implied fair value of goodwill. This allocationprocess involves using significant estimates, including estimates of future cash flows, future short-term and long-term growth rates, weighted average cost ofcapital and assumptions about the future deployment of the long-lived assets of the reporting unit. Other factors we consider are the brand awareness and themarket position of the reporting unit and assumptions about the period of time we will continue to use the brand in our product portfolio. If these estimates ortheir related assumptions change in the future, we may be required to record impairment charges for our goodwill. Our most recent annual goodwill impairment analysis, which was performed during in 2012, did not result in impairment. As of December 31, 2012,our market capitalization was significantly higher than our equity book value. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. We are required to assess the impairment of tangible and intangible long-lived assets subject to amortization, under ASC 360 “Property, Plant andEquipment”, on a periodic basis, when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Impairment indicatorsinclude any significant changes in the manner of our use of the assets or the strategy of our overall business, significant negative industry or economic trendsand significant decline in our share price for a sustained period. Upon determination that the carrying value of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable based upon a comparison of aggregate undiscountedprojected future cash flows from the use of the asset or asset group to the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment charge is recorded for the excess ofcarrying amount over the fair value. We measure fair value using discounted projected future cash flows. We base our fair value estimates on assumptions webelieve to be reasonable, but these estimates are unpredictable and inherently uncertain. If these estimates or their related assumptions change in the future,we may be required to record impairment charges for our tangible and intangible long-lived assets subject to amortization. No impairment charges wererecognized during 2010, 2011, or 2012. Research and Development Expenses, Net Research and development costs incurred in the process of software development before establishment of technological feasibility are charged toexpenses as incurred. Costs of the production of a detailed program design incurred subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility arecapitalized. Based on our product development process, technological feasibility is established upon completion of a detailed program design. Capitalized software development costs are amortized commencing with general product release by the straight-line method over the estimateduseful life of the software product. At each balance sheet date, we assess the recoverability of this intangible asset by comparing the unamortized capitalized software costs to the netrealizable value on a product by product basis. Should the amount of the unamortized capitalized costs of a computer software product exceed the netrealizable value, these products will be written down by the excess amount. Recently issued accounting pronouncements. In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance to require an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and thecomponents of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements,thus eliminating the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity. In addition, the guidance requiresthat the reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income be presented on the face of the financialstatements. However, in December 2011, the FASB indefinitely deferred the requirements related to the presentation of reclassification adjustments. Theguidance became effective for us beginning January 1, 2012, and will only result in changes in our financial statements presentation. 37 Results of Operations The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, our statements of operations expressed as a percentage of total revenues (the percentagesmay not equal 100% because of the effects of rounding): Year Ended December 31, 2010 2011 2012 Revenues: Search 77% 72% 63% Products 19 20 29 Other 4 8 8 Total revenues 100% 100% 100%Cost of revenues 5 8 9 Gross profit 95 92 91 Operating expenses Research and development, net 23 21 18 Selling and marketing 18 37 49 General and administrative 16 22 14 Total operating expenses 57 80 81 Operating income 38 12 10 Financial income, net 1 4 0 Income before taxes on income 39 16 10 Income tax expense 11 - 4 Net income 28% 16% 6% As shown in the above table, our operations are generally characterized by high gross profit margins, which are attributable mainly to two factors: (i)we do not have manufacturing costs for our products, and (ii) our search generated revenues have virtually no direct cost associated with them. Starting thesecond half of 2011, we dramatically increased our investment in customer acquisition costs to fuel future growth. These expenses increased from $8.1million in 2011 to $22.1 million in 2012. This was the primary reason for the increase in selling and marketing expenses in 2012, both nominally and as apercentage of sales, resulting in lower operating and net income margins in 2011. We expect to further increase our customer acquisition costs in 2013,increasing our sales and marketing expenses. In addition, general and administrative expenses included expenses related to the acquisition of subsidiaries of$1.1 million and $2.1 million in 2011 and 2012, respectively. However, as a result of these acquisitions, we expect increased revenues and improvedoperating margins in 2013. Year Ended December 31, 2012 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2011 Revenues. Revenues increased by 70% in 2012, from $35.5 million in 2011 to $60.2 million in 2012. This increase was a result of increases in eachof our revenue streams. Although we expect continued growth in 2013 in all revenue streams, we expect such growth to be driven substantially by searchgenerated revenues as a result of the recent acquisition of SweetPacks, which was focused on search, and as we increase significantly the investment incustomer acquisition. Search revenues. Search revenues increased by 49% in 2012, from $25.5 million in 2011 to $38.1 million in 2012. This increase was due to anincrease in the number of downloads and subsequently the number of users using our search service. We offer our search service in conjunction with ourproducts and toolbar, with Google currently powering the search service for ostensibly all our users. In addition, our SweetIM acquisition contributed onemonth of search revenues from the acquired company in 2012. On January 31, 2013, we signed an amendment to our agreement with Google extending theterm of the agreement to May 31 2013, to coincide with the expiration date of the agreement between SweetIM and Google. On April 23, 2013, we enteredinto a new agreement with Google, effective from May 1, 2013 to April 30, 2015. The new agreement combines the activities of Perion and SweetIM into oneagreement and replaces both of the existing agreements with Google. We expect our search revenues to continue to grow as we increase our marketingexpenses in general and customer acquisition costs in particular. 38 Products revenues. Product revenues increased by 144% in 2012, from $7.2 million in 2011 to $17.6 million in 2012. This increase was primarilyattributable to the addition of Smilebox to our product portfolio in September 2011, and the subsequent growth in sales of our Smilebox product. Revenuesfrom our Smilebox product in 2012 were $11.6 million, compared to $2.2 million in 2011. IncrediMail product revenues increased by $1.0 million in 2012,as a result of our discontinuing the Gold Gallery Lifetime subscription. We believe that in 2013 we will see increasing revenues from our products,particularly from our Smilebox product, as we improve the product and our marketing and distribution techniques. In addition, we expect to focus futureacquisitions on product oriented companies, enriching our product portfolio and providing for a more balanced revenue stream. Other revenues. Advertising and other revenues increased 63% in 2012, from $2.8 million in 2011 to $4.6 million in 2012. This increase isattributable to increased distribution of our software and to the offering of our homepage, which includes display advertising, and the subsequent acceptanceof this offer by our users. We believe these revenues will continue to increase in 2013, as our distribution increases, nominally and as a percentage of totalsales. Cost of revenues. Cost of revenues in 2012 was $5.2 million, as compared to $2.8 million in 2011. Amortization of intangible assets increased by$1.2 million due to the acquisition of SweetIM, and the balance was due to the inclusion of Smilebox for a full year in 2012 and additional infrastructurecosts. The increase in amortization expenses stemming from the SweetIM acquisition caused a slight decrease in gross profit margin from 92% in 2011, to91% in 2012. As we expect search generated revenues to grow at a higher pace than product revenues, this will offset the increase in amortization expenses,so our gross profit margin will still remain above 90%. Research and development expenses, net ("R&D"). R&D increased by $3.2 million in 2012, from $7.5 million in 2011 to $10.7 million in 2012,decreasing as a percentage of sales from 21% in 2011 to 18% in 2012. The increase was as a result of our investing in enriching our product pipeline in 2012,primarily by making our products available on mobile platforms. A mobile version of our Smilebox product, available for the iPhone, was announced in thethird quarter of 2011 and already has accumulated over 1 million downloads. In the first quarter of 2013, we released a mobile version of our IncrediMailproduct for the iPad. In 2013 we intend to develop additional mobile versions of our products for other platforms, such as Android, and possibly others. As aresult, we expect this expenditure to further increase nominally, although to continue to decrease as a percentage of sales as our sales continue to grow morerapidly. Selling and marketing expenses. Selling and marketing expenses more than doubled, from $13.0 million in 2011 to $29.5 million in 2012. Thisincrease was primarily attributable to the increased investment in customer acquisition costs, which increased from $8.0 million in 2011 to $22.1 million in2012. This increase reflects a ramping up of these expenses all through 2012, reaching $9.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. This investment is to fuelfuture accelerated growth and we expect to further increase this investment in 2013, even as a percentage of sales, in order to fuel growth in 2013 and 2014.In addition, marketing expenses increased due to personnel costs incurred by increasing the size of our marketing department as we added the Smileboxmarketing department in 2012. We expect these expenses, excluding the customer acquisition costs, to grow only nominally from the level established in thelast quarter of 2012. In 2013, we expect to continue and increase customer acquisition costs to more than $50 million, in order to further accelerate thegrowth of our revenues. That being said, we continue to condition this investment on a positive return on investment (“RoI”) within one year, and to theextent we cannot maintain a positive RoI, we may curtail this expenditure. General and administrative expenses ("G&A"). G&A increased from $7.6 million in 2011 to $8.6 in 2012. This increase was primarily due to costsassociated with the acquisition of subsidiaries in 2012, compared to the previous year. G&A expenses from organic operations in 2012 were at a level similarto that of 2011. As a result, and even after the increased in acquisition expenses, G&A as a percentage of sales decreased from 22% in 2011 to 14% in 2012.With the exception of costs that could be incurred in connection with future acquisitions, although we expect G&A cash expenses to increase nominally; weexpect these cash expenses to decrease as a percentage of sales in 2013. Taxes on Income. Income tax in 2012 was $2.5 million, compared to $0.2 million in 2011. The increase in income tax was primarily a result of anumber of tax credits received in 2011 with respect to past years, a tax refund due to the settlement of a tax audit with the Israeli tax authorities and thediscontinuation of our dividend distribution policy. In 2012, we did not benefit from these credits, and while our maximum statutory tax rate is 25%, wesuffered from non-recurring tax expenses which coupled with an increase in non-deductible expenses, caused an effective tax rate of 41%. As we look towards2013, we do not currently expect a recurrence of the tax credits from 2011, or as significant non-recurring tax expenses experienced and accrued for in 2012. 39 Net Income. Net income in 2012 was $3.5 million, compared to $5.7 million, in 2011. As described above, this decrease was primarily a result of the$14.0 million increase in customer acquisition costs, the nominal increases in other operating expenses and the $2.3 million increase in tax expenses,partially offset by increased profits from the increase in revenues. Year Ended December 31, 2011 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2010 Search revenues. These revenues increased by 12%, from $22.8 million in 2010, to $25.5 million in 2011. This increase was due to an increase inthe number of downloads and subsequently the number of users using our search service. As the number of downloads of our IncrediMail products increased,while the number of downloads of our Magentic and HiYo products decreased, search generated revenues through our partnership with Google accounted formore than 94% of these revenues, with the remaining revenues coming from other search providers. Products revenues. These revenues grew by over 33% in 2011, from $5.4 million in 2010 to $7.2 million in 2011. This increase was primarilyattributable to our acquisition of Smilebox, whose products sales were $2.2 million in the last four months of the year, partially offset by a $0.4 milliondecrease of organic products sales. Other revenues. These revenues more than doubled in 2011, from $1.3 million in 2010 to $2.8 million in 2011. This increase is attributable tocollaboration with other vendors for the sale of their product to our users and an increase in other advertising revenues through a toolbar, on our homepageand other advertising revenues. Cost of revenues. Cost of revenues in 2011 was $2.8 million, as compared to $1.6 million in 2010. This increase was primarily due to the acquisitionof Smilebox, whose associated direct costs of approximately $0.6 million included amortization of intangible assets and direct content costs. Smileboxcontent costs are based on usage and, as a result, are included in the cost of revenues. Research and development expenses, net ("R&D"). R&D increased by $0.9 million, from $6.6 million in 2010 to $7.5 million in 2011, decreasing asa percentage from sales from 23% in 2010 to 21% in 2011. The increase was as a result of our investing in enriching our product pipeline in 2011, with theFixie product coming to market in the fourth quarter of 2011, the mobile version of our Smilebox product announced shortly after the acquisition, and theannounced PhotoJoy product for iPad and iPhone platforms. Selling and marketing expenses. Selling and marketing expenses more than doubled from $5.2 million in 2010 to $13.0 million in 2011. Thisincrease was primarily attributable to the increased investment in customer acquisition costs, which increased from $1.8 million in 2010 to $8.1 million in2011. In addition, marketing expenses increased due to personnel costs incurred by our increasing the size of our marketing department to enable us to makethese investments and subsequently track the return generated. Finally, the increase was also due to the marketing expenses incurred by the acquisition ofSmilebox and the marketing expenses needed to support that product. General and administrative expenses ("G&A"). G&A increased from $4.7 million in 2010 to $7.6 in 2011. This increase was primarily due to ourbuilding a management team, primarily in the latter part of 2010, capable of scaling our business model and taking us to the next level, both organically andthrough acquisitions. As a result, in 2011, G&A on average was at a level similar to that of the last quarter of 2010. In addition, we recorded over $1.0 millionin expenses related to the acquisition of Smilebox, which in according to U.S. GAAP is accounted for as an expense immediately. Taxes on Income. Income tax in 2011 was $0.2 million, compared to $3.2 million in 2010. The decrease in income tax was a result of a number of taxcredits received with respect to past years, a tax refund due to the settlement of a tax audit with the Israeli tax authorities and the discontinuation of ourdividend distribution policy. Net Income. Net income in 2011 was $5.7 million, compared to $8.4 million, in 2010. As described above, this decrease was primarily a result of the$6.2 million increase in customer acquisition costs, amortization of intangibles resulting from the Smilebox acquisition, partially offset by increased profitsfrom the increase in revenues and capitalization of research and development costs. 40 B. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES As of December 31, 2012, our working capital was a negative $4.3 million, consisting of approximately $47.7 million in current assets, less $52.0million in current liabilities. As of December 31, 2011, our working capital was zero, as current assets and current liabilities both equaled $21.0 million. Thedecrease in working capital was primarily due to the acquisition of SweetIM in the last quarter of 2012. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement,virtually all the cash acquired, approximately $13 million, is payable to the sellers of SweetIM. At closing, which occurred on November 30, 2012, we paid$10 million in cash, a second payment of up to $7.5 million in cash is due towards the end of 2013, 12 months after closing, and we’ve accrued a $3.0 millioncontingent tax liability related to this acqusition. These items related to the acqusition of SweetIM caused a decrease in working capital of approximately$20.5 million. This reduction was subtantially offset by cash generated by ongoing activities. As of December 31, 2012, we had bank loans outstanding totaling $8.9 million, to be paid over the next three to four years, including $6.6 millionclassified as long term debt and $2.3 million with current maturities. We believe that our cash balances and cash generated from operations will be more than sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements foroperations, as well as our deferred acquisition payments, for at least the next 12 months. Net Cash Provided By Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $9.8 million, $8.1 million and $16.3 million for 2010,2011 and 2012, respectively. The increase in cash provided by operating activities in 2012 was primarily a result of an increase in operating payablescoupled with a decrease in operating assets, resulting in a net increase of $7.8 million. The $2.1 million decrease in net income in 2012 compared to 2011,was more than offset by the $3.3 million increase in non-cash expenses included in net income for 2012, as compared to 2011. Net Cash Used In Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $10.2 million, $8.0 million and $14.7 million in 2010, 2011 and2012, respectively. While in 2010, the net cash used in investment activities was a result of the net investment in marketable securities; in 2011 and 2012 thecash used in investing activities was primarily a result of the acquisition of Smilebox and SweetIM, respectively. In 2011, we invested $21.7 million in cashfor the acquisition of Smilebox and $1.1 million in equipment and capitalized content and software cost. These investments were partially offset by the $14.8million in proceeds from the net sale of marketable securities. In 2012, we invested $13.6 million cash in connection with the acquisition of Smilebox andSweetIM and $1.5 million in equipment and capitalized content and software cost. Net Cash Provided by (Used In) Financing Activities. Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was ($7.9) million, ($3.9) million and $2.3million in 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively. In 2010 and 2011, the cash was used primarily for the payment of dividends to shareholders, a policy that hasbeen discontinued. In 2012, the cash was provided by the bank loan taken, less payments already made on account, providing net cash of $8.9 million, less$6.6 million deferred payment for acquisitions. Credit Facilities In September 2011, we entered into an agreement with each of Bank Leumi Le-Israel ("Leumi") and First International Bank of Israel ("FIBI"), tosecure a credit facility for up to a total of $20 million of financing. During the second quarter of 2012, we amended both agreements, and reduced the amountof each credit facility, to $6 million provided by Leumi, and $4 million by FIBI. The repayment of the debt is structured over four and five years from thedraw date, respectively, and we have an option for early repayment. In order to secure our obligations to the banks we pledged and granted to the banks a first priority floating charge on all of our assets and a firstpriority fixed charge on certain other immaterial assets (namely, rights for unpaid shares, securities and other deposits deposited with the banks from time totime, and rights for property insurance). The pledge agreements contain a number of customary restrictive terms and covenants that limit our operatingflexibility, such as (1) limitations on the creation of additional liens, on the incurrence of indebtedness, on the provision of loans and guarantees and ondistribution of dividends, and (2) the ability of the banks to accelerate repayment in certain events, such as breach of covenants, liquidation, and a change ofcontrol of our Company. Such provisions may hinder our future operations or the manner in which we operate our business, which could have a materialadverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. 41 C. RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, PATENTS AND LICENSES, ETC. Our research and development activities are conducted internally by a 117 person research and development staff. Research and development expenses, net were $6.6 million, $7.5 million and $10.5 million in the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012,respectively. In 2012, our efforts were focused on developing the back-end systems required for tracking the usage of our products and their monetization,developing new products, particularly the mobile version of our photo sharing product Smilebox, now available on the iPhone, as well as the mobile versionof our IncrediMail communication client, introduced in the first quarter of 2013. We plan to continue these efforts through 2013, as well as initiate thedevelopment of an ad-network platform expected to be functional and providing revenues starting in 2014. We expect this investment to continue andincrease nominally in 2013, although it will likely decrease as a percentage of sales relative to 2012. See "Business Overview—Intellectual Property" under Item 4.B above. D. TREND INFORMATION Industry trends expected to affect our revenues, income from continuing operations, profitability and liquidity or capital resources: 1.In recent months there have been certain changes introduced by Google, changing the way Google’s partners, such as ourselves, acquire and retaincustomers. These changes aim to improve the user experience, a principle that is important to us as well. However, the changes could reduce the returnon investment in the short term, and will cause long term changes to the search market as well. We believe that our recent acquisition of SweetIM, ourexisting team and the experienced team that joined us as part of the acquisition, make us well positioned to address and accommodate these changes.As a result, we expect that a as result of the combination of the two companies, as well as the further increases in our customer acquisition efforts,search generated revenues will be our primary organic growth catalyst in 2013. We are working to ensure compliance with our contractual obligationsand an improved user experience. However, although we believe the measures being taken are good for the consumer and in the long-term for us aswell, it is possible that in the short term, as the market adapts to these new requirements and environment, the return on our marketing investmentcould decrease. 2.In recent years, we have witnessed an increase in the use on the desktop of web-based email solutions, such as Microsoft Outlook, Yahoo! Mail andGoogle’s Gmail. Facebook Mail is a relatively new addition to this market, having a lot of potential based on its social network popularity. While ourIncrediMail product is based on the use of these email products, and there is still a vast market for PC-based email clients, there is no doubt that thepopularity of web-based email is growing at the expense of the PC-based software. This has caused us to increase our efforts in adapting ourIncrediMail product to the specific consumer needs not satisfied by the web-based solution. Further investment is also required in other forms ofonline communication as audiences (especially younger ones) are using email less. The continual growth in social communication products andservices, including smartphones, makes it essential for our products to be compatible with Facebook, Twitter, SMS and other forms of socialcommunication and mobile platforms. While the use of an email client on mobile devices is common practice, there is increasing competition fromdedicated email applications, such as Mailbox, Inky, Mailbird, Sparrow and others. We will continue to make investments, both organic and throughacquisitions, to further solidify our position with new products and services focusing on mobile applications as well as social communicationproducts and look to increase our investment on the usage of social media and mobile devices to attract more users to our brands. 3.The sharing and storing of digital photos on personal computers, and on photo hosting sites such as Instagram, Facebook or Shutterfly, has increasedsubstantially in recent years. The convenience of such online storage of photos has created a growing commercial industry with products likepersonalized photo books, cards, calendars, stationery, scrapbooks (printed and digital) as well as photo backup services and storage services.Smilebox is aimed at helping people create and share their pictures enabling users to enjoy all the photos that they have stored on their computer oronline using new capabilities, with minimal effort from the user. As camera phones continue to improve and more and more users use their cameraphones to capture their special moments, there is significant growth opportunity for us to help users create special memories both “in the moment”and “after the moment.” 42 5.There has been a growing usage of portable platforms, including smartphones and tablets, enabling users to enjoy a more graphic and creativeexperience without a PC. This trend is most prominently represented by the popularity of the iPhone and its Android mobile platforms, as well as withthe popular iPad tablet. In addition, and partially as a result of these successes, the Apple-Mac platform popularity has increased as well. Althoughthis trend is attracting an increasing portion of the market, we believe that particularly with regard to our demographic segment, the PC environmentwill remain the predominant platform for managing emails in the near future. To address this trend, we have been developing mobile versions of ourdesktop applications. We have already introduced Smilebox for the iPhone and this application has recorded over 1.2 million downloads to date. Inaddition, in the first quarter of 2013, we introduced IncrediMail for the iPad. In 2013, we intend to increase our investments in this direction offeringbetter and more products on various mobile platforms. 6.As roughly 63% of our revenues are search generated, and this percentage is expected to increase in 2013, we are affected by the general trends andmetrics of the search revenue market. One of the most significant metrics is the revenue per thousand impressions, or RPM, rate. In an economicdownturn, the amount advertisers are willing to pay naturally declines, reducing their cost per click, or CPC, rate and subsequently our revenues. TheRPM rate has fluctuated dramatically over the past months and it is difficult to predict a specific trend in this important metric going forward. Thisfluctuation is a function of economic conditions in each country and more importantly by the different economic conditions in each country andwhich countries are the focus for growth in this market. Moreover, this market is becoming more susceptible to alternative methods of advertising andcommerce trends. Advertising through generic search sites is facing growing competition from alternative commerce sites as the latter become morepopular and more visible, and also have the ability to leverage the increasing user data available through these sites. We have begun to invest insystems and products that could possibly leverage this trend in 2014 and beyond. 7.The downloadable software market and the way it interacts with search providers have been changing. With its market leading position, Google hasbeen the forerunner of these changes, which have also impacted our agreement with Google. It is difficult to know how this process will end, althoughwe are convinced that the process is ongoing and has not reached equilibrium. We will continue to work with Google as well with the other searchcompanies to improve the consumer experience and address the market needs. As more and more products become cloud based services, this may alsoimpact the way in which companies like ours generate search revenue. The clear trend is to provide users with a solution that is at least partly cloud-driven, enabling portability for consumers and easier maintenance for companies. More and more companies, however, are finding new ways togenerate revenues, including advertising and premium sales as well as search from the web based service. Another trend in the market as it relates todownloadable software with search monetization is the intensity of the competition. In 2012, the amount of competitors and the intensity of thecompetition have made it more difficult to maximize the lifetime value of a consumer. We continue to focus on providing real value to the consumerfrom our products and services with a belief that in the long run companies with a real relationship with consumers based on a product that gives themreal value is sustainable. This will be especially true in the future as the next generation of browsers may block the installation of toolbars in theircurrent format. As mentioned earlier, our solution is one of value. Our focus is on creating products and services that serve the needs of our users andprovide them with real value so that they continue to use our products and brand instead of those of the competition. For more information on uncertainties, demands, commitments or events that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on revenue, please seeItem 3, “Key Information—Risk Factors.” For additional trend information see the discussion in Item 5.A “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects – Operating Results.” E. OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS We do not have off-balance sheet arrangements (as such term is defined by applicable SEC regulations) that have or are reasonably likely to have acurrent or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial conditions, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expendituresor capital resources that are material to investors. 43 F.

COMPENSATION The aggregate direct compensation we paid to our officers as a group (9 persons) for the year ended December 31, 2012, was approximately $3.9million, which included approximately $0.9 million that was set aside or accrued to provide for pension, retirement, severance or similar benefits. Thisamount does not include expenses we incurred for other payments, including dues for professional and business associations, business travel and otherexpenses, and other benefits commonly reimbursed or paid by companies in Israel. We did not pay our officers who also serve as directors any separatecompensation for their directorship during 2012.

In addition, our directors are reimbursed for expenses incurred in order to attend board or committee meetings. In the year ended December 31, 2012, we granted options to purchase 617,500 ordinary shares to our directors and officers, at a weighted averageexercise price of $7.18 per share, and the latest expiration date for such options is December 2017. These options were granted under our 2003 Israeli ShareOption Plan, as amended, (the "2003 Plan"). As of April 24, 2013, options to purchase 300,000 out of the abovementioned ordinary shares have beenforfeited. Pursuant to the requirements of the Companies Law, remuneration of our directors generally requires shareholder approval. In October 2011, ourshareholders approved a compensation package for our non-employee directors (other than our external directors) comprised of an annual fee of $35,000, andall other terms of compensation, which were previously approved by our shareholders, including the annual grant of options to purchase our ordinary sharesas approved by our shareholders in July 2009, and reimbursement for travel expenses in accordance with our travel reimbursement policy for directors.

C. BOARD PRACTICES Corporate Governance Practices We are incorporated in Israel and therefore are subject to various corporate governance practices under the Companies Law, relating to such mattersas external directors, the audit committee, the internal auditor and approvals of interested party transactions. These matters are in addition to the ongoinglisting conditions of NASDAQ and other relevant provisions of U.S. securities laws. Under the NASDAQ Listing Rules, a foreign private issuer may generallyfollow its home country rules of corporate governance in lieu of the comparable NASDAQ requirements, except for certain matters such as composition andresponsibilities of the audit committee. For further information, see “Item 16.G – Corporate Governance.” NASDAQ Requirements Under the NASDAQ Listing Rules, a majority of our directors are required to be “independent directors” as defined in the NASDAQ ListingRules. Six out of the seven members of our board of directors, namely, Messrs. Tamar Gottlieb, Iris Beck, Alan Gelman, David Jutkowitz, AvichayNissenbaum, and Adi Soffer Teeni, are independent directors under the NASDAQ requirements. We are also required by the NASDAQ Listing Rules to have an audit committee, all of whose members must satisfy certain independencerequirements. The NASDAQ Listing Rules require that director nominees be selected or recommended for the board’s selection either by a committee composedsolely of independent directors or by a majority of the independent directors on the board. We have a nominating and governance committee, composedsolely of independent directors. See Item "16.G – Corporate Governance" for exemptions that we have taken from certain NASDAQ Listing Rule requirements. 48 Israeli Companies Law Board of Directors According to the Companies Law and our articles of association, our board of directors is responsible, among other things, for: ·establishing our policies and overseeing the performance and activities of our chief executive officer; ·convening shareholders’ meetings; ·approving our financial statements; ·determining our plans of action, principles for funding them and the priorities among them, our organizational structure and examining ourfinancial status; and ·issuing securities and distributing dividends. Our board of directors may exercise all powers and may take all actions that are not specifically granted to our shareholders. Our board of directorsalso appoints and may remove our chief executive officer and may appoint or remove other executive officers, subject to any rights that the executive officersmay have under their employment agreements. Our board of directors currently consists of seven directors, two of whom qualify as "external directors" under Israeli law and have also beendetermined by our board of directors to qualify as "independent" for the purpose of the NASDAQ Listing Rules. Other than external directors, who are subjectto special election requirements under Israeli law, our directors are elected in three staggered classes by the vote of a majority of the ordinary shares presentand entitled to vote at meetings of our shareholders at which directors are elected. The members of only one staggered class will be elected at each annualmeeting for a three-year term, so that the regular term of only one class of directors expires annually. Our annual meeting of shareholders is required to beheld at least once during every calendar year and not more than fifteen months after the last preceding meeting. At our 2012 annual meeting of shareholders,held on September 27, 2012, Ms. Tamar Gottlieb was reelected as a director for an additional three-year term and Ms. Adi Soffer Teeni was elected as adirector for an initial three-year term.

At our 2010 annual meeting of shareholders, held on January 6, 2011, Mr. Josef Mandelbaum was elected as a director for an initialthree-year term. The external directors are not assigned to a class and are elected in accordance with the Companies Law. On September 27, 2012, Mr.Avichay Nissenbaum was reelected to serve as an external director for a second three-year term. At our 2010 annual meeting of shareholders, held on January6, 2011, Mr. David Jutkowitz was reelected to serve as an external director for a second three-year term. In August 2011 our board of directors appointed Mr.Alan Gelman as a director, to fill a vacancy. Mr. Gelman was appointed to serve as a director until the 2013 annual meeting of shareholders, and the electionof his successor. If the number of directors constituting our board of directors is changed, any increase or decrease shall be apportioned among the classes so as tomaintain the number of directors in each class as nearly equal as possible, but in no case will a decrease in the number of directors constituting our board ofdirectors reduce the term of any then current director. Our board of directors may appoint any other person as a director, whether to fill a vacancy or as an addition to the then current number of directors,provided that the total number of directors shall not at any time exceed seven directors. Any director so appointed shall hold office until the annual meetingof shareholders at which the term of his class expires, unless otherwise determined by our board of directors. There is no limitation on the number of termsthat a non-external director may serve. Shareholders may remove a non-external director from office by a resolution passed at a meeting of shareholders by a vote of the holders of morethan two-thirds of our voting power. A resolution proposed at any meeting of our board of directors is deemed adopted if approved by a majority of the directors present and voting onthe matter. Under the Companies Law, our board of directors must determine the minimum number of directors having financial and accounting expertise, asdefined in the regulations that our board of directors should have. In determining the number of directors required to have such expertise, the board ofdirectors must consider, among other things, the type and size of the company and the scope and complexity of its operations. Our board of directors hasdetermined that we require at least one director with the requisite financial and accounting expertise and that Mr. David Jutkowitz has such expertise. 49 Under the Companies Law, the chairman of the board of a company is not permitted to hold another position in the company or a subsidiary thereofother than chairman or director of a subsidiary or, if approved by a special majority of shareholders, chief executive officer of the company. External Directors Under the Companies Law, Israeli companies whose shares have been offered to the public in or outside of Israel are required to appoint at least twoindividuals to serve as external directors. Our external directors under the Companies Law are Mr. Avichay Nissenbaum, whose second three-year termcommenced on September 27, 2012, and Mr. David Jutkowitz, whose second three-year term commenced on January 6, 2011. Each committee of a company's board of directors that is authorized to exercise any powers of the board of directors is required to include at leastone external director. The audit committee and the compensation committee must include all the external directors. External directors are required to possess professional qualifications as set out in regulations promulgated under the Companies Law. Anyindividual who is eligible to be appointed as a director may be appointed as an external director, provided that such person, such person’s relative, partner,employer or any entity under the person’s control does not have at the date of appointment, or has not had during the two years preceding the date ofappointment, any affiliation with ·the company; ·a controlling shareholder of the company or a relative thereof; or ·any entity controlled by the company or by its controlling shareholder on the date of the appointment or during the two years precedingsuch date. The term affiliation means any of: ·an employment relationship; ·a business or professional relationship that is not negligible; ·control; and ·service as an office holder. No person can serve as an external director if the person’s position or other business creates or may create a conflict of interest with the person’sresponsibilities as an external director, or if it may adversely affect his ability to serve as a director. Until the lapse of two years from termination of office, acompany or its controlling shareholder may not employ or give any direct or indirect benefit to the former external director. If at the time any external director is appointed, all members of the board are the same gender, then the external director to be appointed must be ofthe other gender. External directors are elected by a majority vote at a shareholders’ meeting, as long as either: ·the majority of shares voted on the matter, including at least a majority of the shares of non-controlling shareholders voted on the matter, votein favor of election; or ·the total number of shares of non-controlling shareholders voted against the election of the external director does not exceed two percent ofthe aggregate voting rights in the company. The initial term of an external director is three years and such director may be reappointed for up to two additional three-year terms.Thereafter, he or she may be reelected by our shareholders for additional periods of up to three years each only if the audit committee and theboard of directors confirm that, in light of the external director’s expertise and special contribution to the work of the board of directors andits committees, the reelection for such additional period is beneficial to us. Reelection of an external director may be effected through one ofthe following mechanisms: (1) the board of directors proposed the reelection of the nominee and the election was approved by theshareholders by the majority required to appoint external directors for their initial term; or (2) a shareholder holding 1% or more of the votingrights proposed the reelection of the nominee, and the reelection is approved by a majority of the votes cast by the shareholders of thecompany, excluding the votes of controlling shareholders and those who have a personal interest in the matter as a result of their relationswith the controlling shareholders, provided that the aggregate votes cast in favor of the reelection by such non-excluded shareholdersconstitute more than 2% of the voting rights in the company. An external director may be removed only in a general meeting, by the samepercentage of shareholders as is required for electing an external director, or by a court, and in both cases only if the external director ceases tomeet the statutory qualifications for appointment or if he or she has violated the duty of loyalty to us. 50 In the event of a vacancy created by an external director, our board of directors is required under the Companies Law to call a shareholders’ meetingto appoint a new external director as soon as practicable. An external director is entitled to compensation as provided in regulations under the Companies Law and is otherwise prohibited from receiving anyother compensation, directly or indirectly from us.

Mr. Yuli Yardeni of the accounting firm of Yardeni-Gelfand is our internalauditor. 52 Certain Employment Agreements with Officers Mr. Josef Mandelbaum has been our Chief Executive Officer since July 2010 and has served as a director since January 2011. Effective July 6,2010, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Mandelbaum, with respect to his services as our Chief Executive Officer (the "CEO Agreement").The CEO Agreement does not provide for a specified term and may be terminated by either party upon 180 days' prior notice. The CEO Agreement providesfor a one-time grant of options upon commencement of employment and an annual grant of options thereafter, the terms of which are substantially inaccordance with the 2003 Plan and as is customary in the Company. However, the vesting of the one-time grant of options is also subject to our share pricereaching a strike price higher than the market price at the time of grant. Upon termination by us of the employment of Mr. Mandelbaum, other than for"cause" (as defined in the CEO Agreement), we are required to continue to pay Mr. Mandelbaum his salary, benefits and bonus until the end of the 180 daynotice period. However, we will have the option to pay Mr. Mandelbaum a lump sum equal to all amounts due as of the notice date. As required by Israelilaw, we will also remit severance payment to Mr. Mandelbaum in an amount equal to one month’s salary for each year of employment with us following thefirst year of employment (and a pro rata portion of such monthly salary for each portion of a year of employment following the first year of employment).Such amount of severance payment will be remitted to the executive even if he voluntarily terminates his employment with us. In the event that we terminatethe employment of Mr. Mandelbaum for "cause," (as defined in the CEO Agreement), we will not be required to give prior notice and/or to pay the executiveseverance payment, except for the payments required by Israeli law. In the event that Mr. Mandelbaum resigns without giving the required notice period, wemay deduct from the money that we owe Mr. Mandelbaum, including wages, an amount equal to the compensation Mr. Mandelbaum would have beenentitled had he worked during the notice period. With regard to the options previously granted, and not yet exercised, in the event that Mr. Mandelbaumresigns: (i) his vested options will be exercisable for one (1) year from the termination date (as such term is defined in the 2003 Plan); and (ii) the amount ofunvested options equal to the pro rata options (as such term is defined in Mr. Mandelbaum's option agreement) shall become vested. In the event that Mr.Mandelbaum's employment is terminated by us without “cause” (as defined in the 2003 Plan) (i) vested options will be exercisable until the expiration date(as such term is defined in Mr. Mandelbaum's option agreement) and (ii) the amount of unvested options equal to the pro rata options shall become vested. Mr. Mandelbaum has agreed not to compete with us during the term of the CEO Agreement and for a period of 180 days thereafter. The CEOAgreement also contains customary confidentiality and intellectual property assignment provisions. We also have employment agreements with our other executive officers. These agreements do not contain any change of control provisions andotherwise contain salary, benefit and non-competition provisions that we believe to be customary in our industry. D. EMPLOYEES As of December 31, 2012 we had 208 employees. The breakdown of our employees by department and fiscal period is as follows: December 31, 2010 2011 2012 Management and administration 21 24 30 Support 14 14 11 Research and development 54 69 117 Selling and marketing 18 32 50 Total 107 139 208 As of December 31, 2012, 159 of our employees were located in Israel, and 49 employees were located in the United States. In Israel we are subject tocertain labor statutes and national labor court precedent rulings, as well as to some provisions of the collective bargaining agreement between the Histadrut,which is the General Federation of Labor in Israel, and the Coordination Bureau of Economic Organizations, including the Industrialist’s Association ofIsrael. These provisions of collective bargaining agreements apply to our Israeli employees by virtue of extension orders issued in accordance with relevantlabor laws by the Israeli Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor, and which apply such agreement provisions to our employees even though they are notdirectly part of a union that has signed a collective bargaining agreement. The laws and labor court rulings that apply to our employees principally concernminimum wage laws, procedures for dismissing employees, determination of severance pay, leaves of absence (such as annual vacation or maternity leave),sick pay and other conditions for employment. The extension orders which apply to our employees principally concern the requirement for the length of theworkday and the work-week, annual recuperation pay and commuting expenses, compensation for working on the day before and after a holiday andpayments to pension funds and other conditions for employment. Furthermore, these provisions provide that the wages of most of our employees are adjustedautomatically. The amount and frequency of these adjustments are modified from time to time. Additionally, we are required to insure all of our employees bya comprehensive pension plan or a managers' insurance according to the terms and the rates detailed in the order. In addition, Israeli law determines minimumwages for workers, minimum paid leave or vacation, sick leave, working hours and days of rest, insurance for work-related accidents, determination ofseverance pay, the duty to give notice of dismissal or resignation and other conditions of employment. In addition, certain laws prohibit or limit theemployer’s ability to dismiss its employees in special circumstances. We have never experienced a work stoppage, and we believe our relations with ouremployees are good. 53 Israeli law generally requires the payment of severance by employers upon the retirement or death of an employee or upon termination ofemployment by the employer or, in certain circumstances, by the employee. The Company’s agreements with employees in Israel, joining the Company sinceFebruary 2, 2008, are in accordance with section 14 of the Severance Pay Law -1963, whereas, the Company’s contributions for severance pay shall beinstead of its severance liability. Upon contribution of the full amount from the employee’s monthly salary, and release of the policy to the employee, noadditional calculations shall be conducted between the parties regarding the matter of severance pay and no additional payments shall be made by theCompany to the employee. Further, the related obligation and amounts deposits on behalf of such obligation are not stated on the balance sheet, as they arelegally released from obligation to employees once the deposit amounts have been paid. We currently fund most of our ongoing severance obligations through insurance policies. As of December 31, 2012, our net accrued unfundedseverance obligations totaled $0.4 million. Furthermore, Israeli employees and employers are required to pay predetermined sums to the National Insurance Institute, which covers, amongstother benefits, payments for state retirement benefits and survivor benefits, (similar to the United States Social Security Administration) as well as stateunemployment benefits. These amounts also include payments for national health insurance. The payments to the National Insurance Institute can equal upto approximately 18.5% of wages subject to a cap if an employee’s monthly wages exceed a specified amount, of which the employee contributesapproximately 12% and the employer contributes approximately 6.5%. E. SHARE OWNERSHIP Security Ownership of Directors and Executive Officers The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our ordinary shares as of April 24, 2013 by all of our directors andexecutive officers as a group and by each officer and director who beneficially owns 1% or more of our outstanding ordinary shares. Beneficial ownership of shares is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and generally includes any shares over which a personexercises sole or shared voting or investment power. Ordinary shares that are subject to warrants or stock options that are presently exercisable or exercisablewithin 60 days of a specified date are deemed to be outstanding and beneficially owned by the person holding the stock options for the purpose ofcomputing the percentage ownership of that person, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of any other person. Except as indicated in the footnotes to this table, each shareholder in the table has sole voting and investment power for the shares shown as beneficiallyowned by them. Percentage ownership is based on 12,093,699 ordinary shares outstanding as of April 24, 2013.

(3) Includes options to purchase 709,167 ordinary shares, exercisable within 60 days of this Annual Report. 54 Employee Benefit Plans The 2003 Israeli Share Option Plan, as amended, (the "2003 Plan"), our current equity incentive plan, was adopted in 2003, providing certain taxbenefits in connection with share-based compensation. The term of the 2003 Plan will expire on December 9, 2022. Please also see Note 11 to ourconsolidated financial statements included in this annual report for information on the options issued under the 2003 Plan.Under the 2003 Plan, we may grant to our directors, officers, employees, consultants, advisers, service providers and controlling shareholders optionsto purchase our ordinary shares. As of December 31, 2012 a total of 4,368,000 ordinary shares are subject to the 2003 Plan. As of April 24, 2013, options topurchase a total of 2,341,594 ordinary shares were outstanding under our 2003 Plan, of which options to purchase a total of 1,414,127 ordinary shares wereheld by our directors and officers (14 persons) as a group. The outstanding options are exercisable at purchase prices which range from $2.30 to $9.98 pershare. Any expired or cancelled options are available for reissuance under the 2003 Plan. Our Israeli employees, officers and directors may only be granted options under Section 102 ("Section 102") of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance (the"Tax Ordinance"), which provides for a beneficial tax treatment, and our non-employees (such as service providers, consultants and advisers) and controllingshareholders may only be granted options under another section of the Tax Ordinance, which does not provide for similar tax benefits. To be eligible for taxbenefits under Section 102, options or ordinary shares must be issued through a trustee, and if held by the trustee for the minimum required period, theemployees and directors are entitled to defer any taxable event with respect to the options until the earlier of (i) the transfer of the options or underlyingshares from the trustee to the employee or director or (ii) the sale of the options or underlying shares to any other third party. Our board of directors hasresolved to elect the “Capital Gains Route” (under Section 102) for the grant of options to Israeli grantees. Based on such election, and subject to thefulfillment of the provisions of Section 102, under the Capital Gains Route, gains realized from the sale of shares issued upon exercise of options will mostlybe taxed at a rate of only 25% and partially at the marginal income tax rate applicable to the employee or director (up to 48% in 2012), provided the trusteeholds their options or the underlying shares for 24 months following the date of grant of such options. In the event the requirements of Section 102 for theallocation of options according to the Capital Gains Route are not met, the applicable marginal income tax rates will apply. The tax treatment with respect to options granted to employees and directors under the 2003 Plan is the result of our election of the Capital GainsRoute under Section 102. Section 102 also provides for an income tax track, under which, among other things, the benefit to the employees will be taxed asincome, the issuer will be allowed to recognize expenses for tax purposes, and the minimum holding period for the trustee will be 12 months from the dateupon which such options are granted. Our board of directors has determined that it is in our best interests to allow our employees in the United States to participate in our stock optionplans for employees. According to the laws in the United States (particularly the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code")) in order for agrant of options to qualify as an “incentive stock option” it must, amongst other requirements, be granted pursuant to a plan which is approved by thestockholders of the granting corporation within 12 months before or after the date such plan is adopted. Therefore, the board of directors has resolved to seekshareholder approval for the adoption of an amendment for U.S. taxpayers to the 2003 Plan (the "U.S. Appendix"), for the award of options to purchase ourordinary shares under the 2003 Plan, all of which may be issued under the U.S. Appendix pursuant to "incentive stock options" within the meaning of theCode. In our annual shareholders meeting, held on October 27, 2011, the 2003 Plan was amended to adopt the U.S. Appendix for U.S taxpayers. Our board of directors has the authority to administer, and to grant options, under the 2003 Plan. However, the compensation committee appointedby the board provides recommendations to the board with respect to the administration of the plan and also has full power to alter any restrictions andconditions of the options, accelerate the rights of an optionee to exercise options and determine the exercise price of the options. Generally, options grantedunder the 2003 Plan vest in three equal portions on each anniversary of the date of grant. 55 The 2003 Plan does not provide for any other acceleration of the vesting period upon the occurrence of certain corporate transactions. However, ourboard of directors or compensation committee may provide in individual option agreements that if the options are not substituted or exchanged by asuccessor company, then the vesting of the options shall accelerate. Adjustments to the number of options or exercise price shall not be made by reason of the distribution of subscription rights (rights offering) onoutstanding shares. In December 2012, our board of directors adopted a compensation policy for employees of the Company according to which the eligibility ofemployees for option grants under the 2003 Plan was established. Such compensation policy also sets forth guidelines regarding employee salaries andbonuses, for non-executive employees. See "Item 6.B Compensation" for a description of options granted under the 2003 Plan to our directors. ITEM 7. MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS A.

MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION Registration Number and Purposes Our registration number with the Israeli Companies Registrar is 51-284949-8. Pursuant to Section 3 of our articles of association, our objectives arethe development, manufacture and marketing of software and any other objective as determined by our board of directors. Dividend and Liquidation Rights The holders of the ordinary shares are entitled to their proportionate share of any cash dividend, share dividend or dividend in kind declared withrespect to our ordinary shares on or after the date of this annual report. We may declare dividends out of profits legally available for distribution. Under theCompanies Law, a company may distribute a dividend only if the distribution does not create a reasonable risk that the company will be unable to meet itsexisting and anticipated obligations as they become due. Furthermore, a company may only distribute a dividend out of the company’s profits, as definedunder the Companies Law. If the company does not meet the profit requirement, a court may allow it to distribute a dividend, as long as the court isconvinced that there is no reasonable risk that such distribution might prevent the company from being able to meet its existing and anticipated obligationsas they become due. 59 Under the Companies Law, the declaration of a dividend does not require the approval of the shareholders of a company unless the company’sarticles of association provide otherwise. Our articles of association provide that the board of directors may declare and distribute dividends without theapproval of the shareholders. In the event of our liquidation, holders of our ordinary shares have the right to share ratably in any assets remaining afterpayment of liabilities, in proportion to the paid-up par value of their respective holdings. These rights may be affected by the grant of preferential liquidation or dividend rights to the holders of a class of shares that may be authorized inthe future. Voting, Shareholder Meetings and Resolutions Holders of ordinary shares have one vote for each ordinary share held on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders. This right may be changed ifshares with special voting rights are authorized in the future. Our articles of association and the laws of the State of Israel do not restrict the ownership or voting of ordinary shares by non-residents of Israel. Under the Companies Law, an annual meeting of our shareholders should be held once every calendar year, but no later than 15 months from thedate of the previous annual meeting. The quorum required under our articles of association for a general meeting of shareholders consists of at least twoshareholders present in person or by proxy holding in the aggregate at least 33 1/3% of the voting power. According to our articles of association a meetingadjourned for lack of a quorum generally is adjourned to the same day in the following week at the same time and place or any time and place as thechairperson of the board of directors designates in a notice to the shareholders with the consent of the holders of the majority voting power represented at themeeting voting on the question of adjournment. In the event of a lack of quorum in a meeting convened upon the request of shareholders, the meeting shallbe dissolved. At the adjourned meeting, if a legal quorum is not present after 30 minutes from the time specified for the commencement of the adjournedmeeting, then the meeting shall take place regardless of the number of members present and in such event the required quorum shall consist of any number ofshareholders present in person or by proxy. Our board of directors may, in its discretion, convene additional meetings as "special general meetings." Special general meetings may also beconvened upon shareholder request in accordance with the Companies Law and our articles of association. The chairperson of our board of directors presidesat each of our general meetings. The chairperson of the board of directors is not entitled to a vote at a general meeting in his capacity as chairperson. Most shareholders’ resolutions, including resolutions to: ·amend our articles of association (except as set forth below); ·make changes in our capital structure such as a reduction of capital, increase of capital or share split, merger or consolidation; ·authorize a new class of shares; ·elect directors, other than external directors; ·appoint auditors; or ·approve most transactions with office holders, will be deemed adopted if approved by the holders of a majority of the voting powerrepresented at a shareholders’ meeting, in person or by proxy, and voting on that resolution. Except as set forth in the following sentencenone of these actions require the approval of a special majority. Amendments to our articles of association relating to the election andvacation of office of directors, the composition and size of the board of directors and the insurance, indemnification and release in advance ofthe company’s office holders with respect to certain liabilities incurred by them require the approval at a general meeting of shareholdersholding more than two-thirds of the voting power of the issued and outstanding share capital of the company. 60 Notices Under the Companies Law, shareholders’ meetings generally require prior notice of at least 21 days, or 35 days if the meeting is adjourned for thepurpose of voting on any of the following matters: (1)appointment and removal of directors; (2)approval of certain matters relating to the fiduciary duties of office holders and of certain transactions with interested parties; (3)approval of certain mergers; and (4)any other matter in respect of which the articles of association provide that resolutions of the general meeting may be approved by means of avoting document. Modification of Class Rights The Companies Law provides that, unless otherwise provided by the articles of association, the rights of a particular class of shares may not beadversely modified without the vote of a majority of the affected class at a separate class meeting. Election of Directors Our ordinary shares do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. Therefore, the holders of ordinary shares representing morethan 50% of the voting power at the general meeting of the shareholders, in person or by proxy, have the power to elect all of the directors whose positionsare being filled at that meeting, to the exclusion of the remaining shareholders. External directors are elected by a majority vote at a shareholders’ meeting,provided that either: ·the majority of shares voted for the election includes at least a majority of the shares held by non-controlling shareholders voted at themeeting and excluding shares held by a person with a personal interest in the approval of the election, excluding a personal interest which isnot as a result of his connection with the controlling shareholder (excluding abstaining votes); or ·the total number of shares of non-controlling shareholders voted against the election of the external director does not exceed two percent ofthe aggregate voting rights in the company. See "Item 6.C Board Practices" regarding our staggered board. Transfer Agent and Registrar American Stock Transfer and Trust Company is the transfer agent and registrar for our ordinary shares. Approval of Related Party Transactions Office Holders The Companies Law codifies the fiduciary duties that office holders owe to a company. An office holder is defined in the Companies Law as anygeneral manager, chief business manager, deputy general manager, vice general manager, or any other person assuming the responsibilities of any of thesepositions regardless of that person’s title, as well as a director, or a manager directly subordinate to the general manager. Each person listed in the table under"Management — Executive Officers and Directors" is an office holder under the Companies Law. Fiduciary duties. An office holder’s fiduciary duties consist of a duty of loyalty and a duty of care. The duty of loyalty requires the office holder toact in good faith and to the benefit of the company, to avoid any conflict of interest between the office holder’s position in the company and any other of hisor her positions or personal affairs, and to avoid any competition with the company or the exploitation of any business opportunity of the company in orderto receive personal advantage for himself or others. This duty also requires him or her to reveal to the company any information or documents relating to thecompany’s affairs that the office holder has received due to his or her position as an office holder. The duty of care requires an office holder to act with a levelof care that a reasonable office holder in the same position would employ under the same circumstances. This includes the duty to use reasonable means toobtain information regarding the advisability of a given action submitted for his or her approval or performed by virtue of his or her position and all otherrelevant information pertaining to these actions. Compensation. A recent amendment to the Companies Law imposes new approval requirements for the compensation of office holders. Every Israelipublic company must adopt a compensation policy, recommended by the compensation committee, and approved by the board of directors and theshareholders, in that order, no later than September 2013. The shareholder approval requires a majority of the votes cast by shareholders, excluding anycontrolling shareholder and those who have a personal interest in the matter (similar to the threshold described below under " – Shareholders"). In general, alloffice holders’ terms of compensation – including fixed remuneration, bonuses, equity compensation, retirement or termination payments, indemnification,liability insurance and the grant of an exemption from liability – must comply with the company's compensation policy. In addition, the compensation termsof directors, the chief executive officer, and any employee or service provider who is considered a controlling shareholder must be approved separately by thecompensation committee, the board of directors and the shareholders of the company (by the same majority noted above), in that order. The compensationterms of other officers require the approval of the compensation committee and the board of directors. 61 Disclosure of personal interest. The Companies Law requires that an office holder promptly disclose to the company any personal interest that he orshe may have and all related material information known to him or her, in connection with any existing or proposed transaction by the company. "Personalinterest", as defined by the Companies Law, includes a personal interest of any person in an act or transaction of the company, including a personal interest ofhis relative and of a corporate body in which that person or a relative of that person is a 5% or greater shareholder, a holder of 5% or more of a company’soutstanding shares or voting rights, a director or general manager, or in which he or she has the right to appoint at least one director or the general manager,including a personal interest in voting on the basis of a power of attorney that was given to a person by another person even if that other person has nopersonal interest, and also a vote by a person who got a power of attorney to vote on behalf of a person who do have a personal interest, in the vote inquestion, all whether the one who votes has a discretion as to how to vote or not. "Personal interest" does not apply to a personal interest stemming merelyfrom the fact that the office holder is also a shareholder in the company. The office holder must make the disclosure of his personal interest without delay and no later than the first meeting of the company’s board ofdirectors that discusses the particular transaction. This duty does not apply to the personal interest of a relative of the office holder in a transaction unless it isan "Extraordinary Transaction". The Companies Law defines an Extraordinary Transaction as a transaction not in the ordinary course of business, not onmarket terms or that is likely to have a material impact on the company’s profitability, assets or liabilities, and defines a relative as a spouse, sibling, parent,grandparent, descendent, as well as descendent, brother, sister or parent of the spouse and the spouse of any of the foregoing. Approvals. The Companies Law provides that a transaction with an office holder or a transaction in which an office holder has a personal interestmay not be approved if it is adverse to the company’s interest. In addition, such a transaction generally requires board approval, unless the transaction is anextraordinary transaction, in which case it requires audit committee approval prior to the approval of the board of directors. A person, including a director,who has a personal interest in a matter that is considered at a meeting of the board of directors or the audit committee may not attend that meeting or vote onthat matter; however, an office holder who has a personal interest in a transaction may be present during the presentation of the matter if the board orcommittee chairman determined that such presence is necessary for the presentation of the matter. A director with a personal interest in a matter that isconsidered at a meeting of the board of directors or the audit committee may attend that meeting or vote on that matter if a majority of the board of directorsor the audit committee also has a personal interest in the matter; however, in that situation, shareholder approval is also required. Shareholders The Companies Law imposes the same disclosure requirements, as described above, on a controlling shareholder of a public company that it imposeson an office holder. For these purposes, a controlling shareholder is any shareholder that has the ability to direct the company’s actions, including anyshareholder holding 25% or more of the voting rights if no other shareholder owns more than 50% of the voting rights in the company. The shareholdings oftwo or more shareholders with a personal interest in the approval of the same transaction are aggregated for this purpose. Approval of the audit committee, the board of directors and our shareholders is required for extraordinary transactions with a controlling shareholder or inwhich a controlling shareholder has a personal interest. The shareholder approval must include the majority of shares voted at the meeting. In addition, either: ·the majority must include at least a majority of the shares of the voting shareholders who have no personal interest in the transaction voted atthe meeting (excluding abstaining votes); or ·the total shareholdings of those who have no personal interest in the transaction and who vote against the transaction must not represent morethan 2% of the aggregate voting rights in the company. 62 Under the Companies Law, a shareholder has a duty to act in good faith towards the company and other shareholders and to refrain from abusing hisor her power in the company including, among other things, when voting in a general meeting of shareholders or in a class meeting on the following matters: ·any amendment to the articles of association; ·an increase in the company’s authorized share capital; ·a merger; or ·approval of related party transactions that require shareholder approval. A shareholder has a general duty to refrain from depriving any other shareholder of their rights as a shareholder. In addition, any controllingshareholder, any shareholder who knows that it possesses the power to determine the outcome of a shareholder or class vote and any shareholder who,pursuant to the company’s articles of association has the power to appoint or prevent the appointment of an office holder in the company, is under a duty toact with fairness towards the company. Anti-Takeover Provisions; Mergers and Acquisitions Merger. The Companies Law permits merger transactions with the approval of each party’s board of directors and shareholders. Under the Companies Law, a merging company must inform its creditors of the proposed merger. Any creditor of a party to the merger may seek acourt order to delay or block the merger, if there is a reasonable concern that the surviving company will not be able to satisfy all of the obligations of theparties to the merger. Moreover, a merger may not be completed until all of the required approvals have been filed by both merging companies with theIsraeli Registrar of Companies and (i) 30 days have passed from the time both companies’ shareholders resolved to approve the merger, and (ii) at least 50days have passed from the time that the merger proposal was filed with the Israeli Registrar of Companies. Tender Offer. The Companies Law requires a purchaser to conduct a tender offer in order to purchase shares in publicly held companies, if as a resultof the purchase the purchaser would hold more than 25% of the voting rights of a company in which no other shareholder holds more than 25% of the votingrights, or the purchaser would hold more than 45% of the voting rights of a company in which no other shareholder holds more than 45% of the voting rights.The requirement to conduct a tender offer shall not apply to (i) the purchase of shares in a private placement, provided that such purchase was approved bythe company’s shareholders as a private placement that is intended to provide the purchaser with more than 25% of the voting rights of a company in whichno other shareholder holds more than 25% of the voting rights, or with more than 45% of the voting rights of a company in which no other shareholder holdsmore than 45% of the voting rights; (ii) a purchase from a holder of more than 25% of the voting rights of a company that results in a person becoming aholder of more than 25% of the voting rights of a company, and (iii) a purchase from the holder of more than 45% of the voting rights of a company thatresults in a person becoming a holder of more than 45% of the voting rights of a company. Under the Companies Law, a person may not purchase shares of a public company if, following the purchase of shares, the purchaser would holdmore than 90% of the company’s shares, unless the purchaser makes a tender offer to purchase all of the target company’s shares. If, as a result of the tenderoffer, the purchaser would hold more than 95% of the company’s shares and more than half of the offerees that have no personal interest have accepted theoffer, the ownership of the remaining shares will be transferred to the purchaser. Alternatively, the purchaser will be able to purchase all shares if thepercentage of the offerees that did not accept the offer constitute less than 2% of the company’s shares. If the purchaser is unable to purchase 95% or more ofthe company’s shares, the purchaser may not own more than 90% of the shares of the target company. Tax Law. Israeli tax law treats some acquisitions, such as a stock-for-stock swap between an Israeli company and a foreign company, less favorablythan U.S. tax law. For example, Israeli tax law may subject a shareholder who exchanges his ordinary shares for shares in a foreign corporation to immediatetaxation. Please see "Item 10.E Taxation — Israeli Taxation." Exculpation, Indemnification and Insurance of Directors and Officers Our articles of association allow us to indemnify, exculpate and insure our office holders, which includes our directors, to the fullest extent permittedby the Companies Law (other than with respect to certain expenses in connection with administrative enforcement proceedings under the Israeli SecuritiesLaw), provided that procuring this insurance or providing this indemnification or exculpation is duly approved by the requisite corporate bodies (asdescribed above under "Related Party Transactions—Compensation"). 63 Under the Companies Law, a company may indemnify an office holder in respect of some liabilities, either in advance of an event or following anevent. If a company undertakes to indemnify an office holder in advance against monetary liability incurred in his or her capacity as an office holder, whetherimposed in favor of another person pursuant to a judgment, a settlement or an arbitrator’s award approved by a court, the indemnification must be limited toforeseeable events in light of the company’s actual activities at the time of the indemnification undertaking and to a specific sum or a reasonable criterionunder such circumstances, as determined by the board of directors. Under the Companies Law, only if and to the extent provided by its articles of association, a company may indemnify an office holder against thefollowing liabilities or expenses incurred in his or her capacity as an office holder: ·any monetary liability whether imposed on him or her in favor of another person pursuant to a judgment, a settlement or an arbitrator’s awardapproved by a court; ·reasonable litigation expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by him or her as a result of an investigation or proceedings instituted against himor her by an authority empowered to conduct an investigation or proceedings, which are concluded either (i) without the filing of an indictmentagainst the office holder and without the levying of a monetary obligation in lieu of criminal proceedings upon the office holder, or (ii) without thefiling of an indictment against the office holder but with levying a monetary obligation in substitute of such criminal proceedings upon the officeholder for a crime that does not require proof of criminal intent; and ·reasonable litigation expenses, including attorneys’ fees, in proceedings instituted against him or her by the company, on the company’s behalf orby a third-party, or in connection with criminal proceedings in which the office holder was acquitted, or as a result of a conviction for a crime thatdoes not require proof of criminal intent. Under the Companies Law, a company may obtain insurance for an office holder against liabilities incurred in his or her capacity as an office holder,if and to the extent provided for in its articles of association. These liabilities include a breach of duty of care to the company or a third-party, a breach ofduty of loyalty and any monetary liability imposed on the office holder in favor of a third-party. A company may, in advance only, exculpate an office holder for a breach of the duty of care, except in connection with a distribution of dividendsor a repurchase of the company’s securities. A company may not exculpate an office holder from a breach of the duty of loyalty towards the company. Under the Companies Law, however, an Israeli company may only indemnify or insure an office holder against a breach of duty of loyalty to theextent that the office holder acted in good faith and had reasonable grounds to assume that the action would not prejudice the company. In addition, anIsraeli company may not indemnify, insure or exculpate an office holder against a breach of duty of care if committed intentionally or recklessly, or an actioncommitted with the intent to derive an unlawful personal gain, or for a fine or forfeit levied against the office holder. Our audit committee and board of directors have resolved to indemnify our office holders and directors, where the resolution regardingindemnification of our directors was approved by our shareholders as well, per the terms of the Companies law, to the extent permitted by the Companies Lawand by our articles of association for liabilities not covered by insurance and that are of certain enumerated events, subject to an aggregate sum equal to50.0% of the shareholders equity as set forth in the financial report of the preceding year to which a claim for indemnification is made.

We funded the cash amount paid upon the closing of this acquisition using cash on hand and expect to fund the follow-on payments from operatingcash flow.

Since some parts of this discussion are based on new tax legislation that has not yet been subject to judicial or administrative interpretation, wecannot assure you that the appropriate tax authorities or the courts will accept the views expressed in this discussion. The discussion below should not be construed as legal or professional tax advice and does not cover all possible tax considerations. Potentialinvestors are urged to consult their own tax advisors as to the Israeli or other tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our ordinaryshares, including, in particular, the effect of any foreign, state or local taxes. General Corporate Tax Structure in Israel On December 5, 2011, the Israeli Parliament (the Knesset) passed the Law for Tax Burden Reform (Legislative Amendments), 2011 ("the Tax Burden Law")which, among others, canceled effective from 2012, the scheduled progressive reduction in the corporate tax rate. The Law also increased the corporate taxrate to 25% in 2012. Following the amendment, corporate tax rates and capital gains rates are: 2011- 24%, 2012- and thereafter- 25%. However, the effectivetax rate payable by a company that derives income from an Approved, Beneficiary or Preferred enterprise (as discussed below) may be considerably less. Foreign Exchange Regulations Under the Foreign Exchange Regulations the Israeli company is calculating its tax liability in U.S. dollars according to certain orders. The tax liability, ascalculated in U.S. dollars is translated into NIS according to the exchange rate as of December 31st of each year. Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959 The Law for Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959 (the "Investment Law") provides that capital investments in a production facility (or othereligible assets) may, upon approval by the Investment Center of the Israel Ministry of Industry and Trade (the "Investment Center"), be designated as anApproved Enterprise. Each certificate of approval for an Approved Enterprise relates to a specific investment program, delineated both by the financial scopeof the investment and by the physical characteristics of the facility or the asset. The tax benefits from any certificate of approval relate only to taxable incomederived from growth in manufacturing revenues attributable to the specific Approved Enterprise. If a company has more than one approval or only a portionof its capital investments are approved, its effective tax rate is the result of a weighted combination of the applicable rates. The tax benefits under the law arenot available for income derived from products manufactured outside of Israel. The benefits available to an Approved Enterprise are conditioned upon terms stipulated in the Investment Law and the regulations thereunder andthe criteria set forth in the applicable certificate of approval. If we do not fulfill these conditions in whole or in part, the benefits can be canceled and we maybe required to refund the amount of the benefits, with the addition of the Israeli consumer price index linkage differences and interest. We believe that ourApproved Enterprises were and continue to be operated in compliance with all applicable conditions and criteria, but there can be no assurance that they willcontinue to do so. The Investment Law also provides that an Approved Enterprise is entitled to accelerated depreciation on its property and equipment that areincluded in an approved investment program. Tax benefits under the 2005 Amendment The Amendment to the Investment Law, effective as of April 1, 2005 has significantly changed the provisions of the Investment Law. An eligibleinvestment program under the amendment will qualify for benefits as a “Beneficiary Enterprise” (rather than the previous terminology of ApprovedEnterprise). Among other things, the amendment provides for tax benefits to both local and foreign investors and simplifies the approval process. 66 Pursuant to the Amendment, only enterprises receiving cash grants require the approval of the Investment Center. Beneficiary Enterprises which donot receive benefits in the form of governmental cash grants, such as benefits in the form of tax benefits, are no longer required to obtain this approval. Tax benefits are available under the Amendment to production facilities (or other eligible facilities), which are generally required to derive morethan 25% of their business income from export. In order to receive the tax benefits, the Amendment states that the company must make an investment in theBeneficiary Enterprise exceeding a certain percentage or a minimum amount specified in the Law. Such investment may be made over a period of no morethan 3 years ending at the end of the year in which the company requested to have the tax benefits apply to the Beneficiary Enterprise (the "Year ofElection"). Where the company requests to have the tax benefits apply to an expansion of existing facilities, then only the expansion will be considered aBeneficiary Enterprise and the company’s effective tax rate will be the result of a weighted average of the applicable rates. In this case, the minimuminvestment required in order to qualify as a Beneficiary Enterprise is required to exceed a certain percentage or a minimum amount of the company’sproduction assets at the end of the year before the expansion. The amended Investment Law specifies certain conditions that a Beneficiary enterprise has to comply with in order to be entitled to benefits. Theseconditions include among others: ·that the Beneficiary Enterprise’s revenues during the applicable tax year from any single market (i.e. country or a separate customs territory) donot exceed 75% of the Beneficiary enterprise’s aggregate revenues during such year; or ·that 25% or more of the Beneficiary Enterprise’s revenues during the applicable tax year are generated from sales into a single market (i.e.country or a separate customs territory) with a population of at least 12 million residents. The duration of tax benefits is subject to a limitation of the earlier of 7 to 10 years from the Commencement Year (Commencement Year defined asthe later of: (i) the first tax year in which the Company had derived income for tax purposes from the Beneficiary Enterprise or (ii) the year in which theCompany requested to have the tax benefits apply to the Beneficiary Enterprise – Year of Election), or 12 years from the first day of the Year of Election. Thetax benefits granted to a Beneficiary Enterprise are determined, as applicable to its geographic location within Israel. Similar to the previously available alternative route, exemption from corporate tax on undistributed income for a period of two to ten years,depending on the geographic location of the Beneficiary Enterprise within Israel, and a reduced corporate tax rate of 10% to 25% for the remainder of thebenefits period, depending on the level of foreign investment in each year. The tax rate will be 20% if the foreign investment level is more than 49% but lessthan 74%, 15% if the foreign investment level is more than 74% but less than 90%, and 10% if the foreign investment level is 90% or more. The lowest levelof foreign investment during a particular year will be used to determine the relevant tax rate for that year. Benefits may be granted for a term of seven to tenyears, depending on the level of foreign investment in the company. If the company pays a dividend out of income derived from the Beneficiary Enterpriseduring the tax exemption period, such income will be subject to corporate tax at the applicable rate, (10%-25%, depending on the level of foreign investmentin the company), in respect of the gross amount of the dividend that we may be distributed. The company is required to withhold tax at the source at a rate of15% from dividends distributed from income derived from the Beneficiary Enterprise. There can be no assurance that we will comply with the above conditions in the future or that we will be entitled to any additional benefits under theamended Investment Law. The Amendment changes the definition of "foreign investment" in the Investments Law so that the definition now requires a minimal investment ofNIS 5 million by foreign investors. Furthermore, such definition now also includes the purchase of shares of a company from another shareholder, providedthat the company’s outstanding and paid-up share capital exceeds NIS 5 million. Such changes to the aforementioned definition will take effect retroactivelyfrom 2003. As a result of the amendment, tax-exempt income generated under the provisions of the Investments Law, as amended, will subject us to taxes upondistribution or liquidation. Pursuant to the amendment to the Investments Law, only Approved Enterprises receiving cash grants require the approval of the Investment Center.Approved Enterprises which do not receive benefits in the form of governmental cash grants, such as benefits in the form of tax benefits, are no longerrequired to obtain this approval (such enterprises are referred to as Beneficiary Enterprises). However, a Beneficiary Enterprise is required to comply withcertain requirements and make certain investments as specified in the amended Investment Law. The amendment to the Investment Law addresses benefitsthat are granted to Beneficiary Enterprises and the length of the benefits period. 67 A company that has elected to participate in the alternative benefits program and that subsequently pays a dividend out of the income derived fromthe Approved Enterprise or Beneficiary Enterprise during the tax exemption period will be subject to corporate tax in respect of the amount distributed at therate that would have been applicable had the company not elected the alternative benefits program (generally 10% to 25%, depending on the foreign (non-Israeli) investment in it). Until 2011 (see below “Preferred Enterprise") we had two Approved Enterprise Programs under the Investment Law, which entitle us to certain taxbenefits, and Beneficiary Enterprise Programs that began in 2008 and in 2010. The Approved Enterprise Programs granted to us are defined in the InvestmentLaw as Alternative Benefits Programs, which allow for a two years exemption for undistributed income and reduced company tax rate of between 10% and25% for the following five to eight years, depending on the extent of foreign (non-Israeli) investment in us during the relevant year. The period in which wereceive these tax benefits may not extend beyond 14 years from the year in which approval was granted and 12 years from the year in which operations orproduction by the enterprise began. In 2009, we changed our dividend policy, committing to distribute 50% of our net income. We applied the required taxes to such dividends asrequired by the law. In November 2010, we changed our dividend policy, under which we do not intend to distribute cash dividends. Income derived from sources other than "Approved Enterprise" or "Beneficiary Enterprise" programs during the benefit period will be subject to taxat the regular corporate tax rate. Tax benefits under the 2011 Amendment The Knesset enacted a reform to the Investment Law, effective January 2011. According to the reform a flat rate tax applies to companies eligible forthe “Preferred Enterprise” status. In order to be eligible for Preferred Enterprise status, a company must meet minimum requirements to establish that itcontributes to the country’s economic growth and is a competitive factor for the Gross Domestic Product (a competitive enterprise). Israeli companies which benefited from an Approved or Beneficiary Enterprise status and met the criteria for qualification as a Preferred Enterprisecan elect to apply the new Preferred Enterprise benefits by waiving their benefits under the Approved and Beneficiary Enterprise status. Benefits granted to a Preferred Enterprise include reduced and gradually decreasing tax rates. In peripheral regions (Development Area A) thereduced tax rate was 10% in 2012, and will be 7% in 2013 and 2014 and 6% starting from 2015. In other regions the tax rate was 15% in 2012, and will be12.5% in 2013 and 2014 and 12% starting from 2015. Preferred Enterprises in peripheral regions will be eligible for Investment Center grants, as well as theapplicable reduced tax rates. A distribution from a Preferred Enterprise out of the “Preferred Income” would be subject to 15% withholding tax for Israeli-resident individuals andnon-Israeli residents (subject to applicable treaty rates). A distribution from a Preferred Enterprise out of the “Preferred Income” would be exempt fromwithholding tax for an Israeli-resident company. A company electing to waive its Beneficiary Enterprise or Approved Enterprise status through June 30, 2015may distribute “Approved Income” or “Beneficiary Income” subject to 15% withholding tax for Israeli resident individuals and non-Israeli residents (subjectto applicable treaty rates) and exempt from withholding tax for an Israeli-resident company. Nonetheless, a distribution from income exempt underBeneficiary Enterprise and Approved Enterprise programs will subject the exempt income to tax at the reduced corporate income tax rates pertaining to theBeneficiary Enterprise and Approved Enterprise programs upon distribution, or complete liquidation in the case of a Beneficiary Enterprise’s exemptincome. Since November 2010, the Company has changed its dividend policy, under which it has not distributed and does not intend to distribute dividends. Commencing 2011 the company elected to apply the new preferred Enterprise benefits. Pursuant to a recent amendment to the Investments Law which became effective on November 12, 2012, a company that elects by November 11,2013 to pay a corporate tax rate as set forth in that amendment (rather than the regular corporate tax rate applicable to approved enterprise income) withrespect to undistributed exempt income accumulated by the company up until December 31, 2011, will be entitled to distribute a dividend from such incomewithout being required to pay additional corporate tax with respect to such dividend. A company that has so elected must make certain qualified investmentsin Israel over the five-year period commencing in 2013. A company that has elected to apply the amendment cannot withdraw from its election. Perion iscurrently reviewing the new amendment and its implications to the company. 68 Law for the Encouragement of Industry (Taxes), 1969 We believe that we currently qualify as an "Industrial Company" within the meaning of the Law for the Encouragement of Industry (Taxes), 1969, orthe Industry Encouragement Law. The Industry Encouragement Law defines "Industrial Company" as a company resident in Israel, of which 90% or more ofits income in any tax year, other than of income from defense loans, capital gains, interest and dividends, is derived from an "Industrial Enterprise" owned byit. An "Industrial Enterprise" is defined as an enterprise whose major activity in a given tax year is industrial production. The following corporate tax benefits, among others, are available to Industrial Companies: ·amortization of the cost of purchased know-how and patents, which are used for the development or advancement of the company, over an eight-year period; ·accelerated depreciation rates on equipment and buildings; ·under specified conditions, an election to file consolidated tax returns with additional related Israeli Industrial Companies; and ·expenses related to a public offering are deductible in equal amounts over three years. Eligibility for the benefits under the Industry Encouragement Law is not subject to receipt of prior approval from any governmental authority. Wecannot assure that we qualify or will continue to qualify as an "Industrial Company" or that the benefits described above will be available in the future. Taxation of our Shareholders The Tax Burden Law also increased the tax rate on dividend and capital gains by 5%. As such, starting in 2012, dividends paid to an Israeli resident and toIsraeli individuals, are subject to 25%/30% withholding tax depending on ownership percentage, unless reduced by an applicable tax treaty. Capital gainsderived by Israeli residents and Israeli individuals, on most instruments are subject to tax at a 25%/30% rate unless an exemption is available under domesticlaw or an applicable tax treaty. Capital Gains Taxes Applicable to an Israeli Resident Shareholders. An individual is subject to a 25% tax rate on real capital gains derived from the saleof shares, as long as the individual is not a "substantial shareholder" (generally a shareholder with 10% or more of the right to profits, right to nominate adirector and voting rights) in the company issuing the shares. A substantial shareholder will be subject to tax at a rate of 30% in respect of real capital gains derived from the sale of shares issued by a company in whichhe or she is a substantial shareholder. The determination of whether the individual is a substantial shareholder will be made on the date on which thesecurities are sold. In addition, the individual will be deemed to be a substantial shareholder if at any time during the 12 months preceding the date of sale, heor she was a substantial shareholder. As of January 1, 2013, shareholders that are individuals who have taxable income that exceeds NIS 800,000 in a tax year (linked to the CPI each year), willbe subject to an additional tax, referred to as High Income Tax, at the rate of 2% on their taxable income for such tax year which is in excess of NIS 800,000.For this purpose taxable income will include taxable capital gains from the sale of our shares and taxable income from dividend distributions. Israeli corporations are generally subject to the corporate tax rate (25%) on capital gains derived from the sale of shares. Taxation of Non-Israeli Shareholders on Receipt of Dividends. Non-residents of Israel are generally subject to Israeli income tax on the receipt ofdividends paid on our ordinary shares at the rate of 25%, which tax will be withheld at source, unless a different rate is provided in a treaty between Israel andthe shareholder’s country of residence. With respect to a substantial shareholder (which is someone who alone, or together with another person, holds,directly or indirectly, at least 10% in one or all of any of the means of control in the corporation at the time of distribution or at any time during the preceding12 months period), the applicable tax rate will be 30%. 69 Under the U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty, the maximum rate of tax withheld in Israel on dividends paid to a holder of our ordinary shares who is a U.S.resident (for purposes of the U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty) is 25%. However, generally, the maximum rate of withholding tax on dividends, not generated by ourPreferred Enterprise that are paid to a U.S. corporation holding 10% or more of our outstanding voting capital throughout the tax year in which the dividendis distributed as well as the previous tax year, is 12.5%. The lower 12.5% rate does not apply if the company has more than 25% of its gross income derivedfrom certain types of passive income. Furthermore, dividends paid from income derived from our Preferred Enterprise are subject, under certain conditions, towithholding at the rate of 15%. We cannot assure you that we will designate the profits that are being distributed in a way that will reduce shareholders’ taxliability. A non-resident of Israel who receives dividends from which tax was withheld is generally exempt from the duty to file returns in Israel in respect ofsuch income, provided such income was not derived from a business conducted in Israel by the taxpayer, and the taxpayer has no other taxable sources ofincome in Israel. Capital Gains Taxes Applicable to Non-Israeli Resident Shareholders. Shareholders that are not Israeli residents are generally exempt from Israelicapital gains tax on any gains derived from the sale, exchange or disposition of our ordinary shares, provided that (1) such shareholders did not acquire theirshares prior to our initial public offering, (2) the shares are listed for trading on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange and/or a foreign exchange, and (3) such gainsdid not derive from a permanent establishment of such shareholders in Israel. However, non-Israeli corporations will not be entitled to the foregoingexemptions if Israeli residents (i) have a controlling interest of 25% or more in such non-Israeli corporation, or (ii) are the beneficiaries of or are entitled to25% or more of the revenues or profits of such non-Israeli corporation, whether directly or indirectly. In certain instances, where our shareholders may beliable to Israeli tax on the sale of their ordinary shares, the payment of the consideration may be subject to the withholding of Israeli tax at the source. Under the U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty, the sale, exchange or disposition of our ordinary shares by a shareholder who is a U.S. resident (for purposes of theU.S.-Israel Tax Treaty) holding the ordinary shares as a capital asset is exempt from Israeli capital gains tax unless either (i) the shareholder holds, directly orindirectly, shares representing 10% or more of our voting capital during any part of the 12-month period preceding such sale, exchange or disposition, or (ii)the capital gains arising from such sale are attributable to a permanent establishment of the shareholder located in Israel. Transfer Pricing In accordance with Section 85A of the Israeli Tax Ordinance, if in an international transaction (where at least one party is a non-Israeli or all or partof the income from such transaction is to be taxed abroad as well as in Israel) there is a special relationship between the parties (including but not limited tofamily relationship or a relationships of control between companies), and due to this relationship the price set for an asset, right, service or credit wasdetermined or other conditions for the transaction were set such that a smaller profit was realized than what would have been expected to be realized from atransaction of this nature, then such transaction shall be reported in accordance with customary market conditions and tax shall be charged accordingly. Theassessment of whether a transaction falls under the aforementioned definition shall be implemented in accordance with one of the procedures mentioned inthe regulations and is based, among others, on comparisons of characteristics which portray similar transactions in ordinary market conditions, such as profit,the area of activity, nature of the asset, the contractual conditions of the transaction and according to additional terms and conditions specified in theregulations. U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS The following discussion is a description of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to an investment in the ordinary shares byU.S. Holders who acquire our ordinary shares and hold them as capital assets for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As used in this section, the term "U.S.Holder" means a beneficial owner of an ordinary share who is: ·an individual citizen or resident of the United States; ·a corporation created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or of any state of the United States or the District of Columbia; ·an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or ·a trust if the trust has elected validly to be treated as a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes or if a U.S. court is able to exercise primarysupervision over the trust’s administration and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all of the trust’s substantial decisions. 70 The term "Non-U.S. Holder" means a beneficial owner of an ordinary share who is not a U.S. Holder. The tax consequences to a Non-U.S. Holder maydiffer substantially from the tax consequences to a U.S. Holder. Certain aspects of U.S. federal income tax relevant to a Non-U.S. Holder also are discussedbelow. This description is based on provisions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, referred to in this discussion as the Code, existingand proposed U.S. Treasury regulations and administrative and judicial interpretations, each as available and in effect as of the date of this annual report.These sources may change, possibly with retroactive effect, and are open to differing interpretations. This description does not discuss all aspects of U.S.federal income taxation that may be applicable to investors in light of their particular circumstances or to investors who are subject to special treatment underU.S. federal income tax law, including: ·insurance companies; ·dealers in stocks, securities or currencies; ·financial institutions and financial services entities; ·real estate investment trusts; ·regulated investment companies; ·persons that receive ordinary shares as compensation for the performance of services; ·tax-exempt organizations; ·persons that hold ordinary shares as a position in a straddle or as part of a hedging, conversion or other integrated instrument; ·individual retirement and other tax-deferred accounts; ·expatriates of the United States; ·persons (other than Non-U.S. Holders) having a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar; and ·direct, indirect or constructive owners of 10% or more, by voting power or value, of us. This discussion also does not consider the tax treatment of persons or partnerships that hold ordinary shares through a partnership or other pass-through entity or the possible application of United States federal gift or estate tax or alternative minimum tax. We urge you to consult with your own tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of investing in the ordinary shares, including the effects offederal, state, local, foreign and other tax laws. Distributions Paid on the Ordinary Shares Subject to the discussion below under "Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations," a U.S. Holder generally will be required to include ingross income as ordinary dividend income the amount of any distributions paid by us on the ordinary shares, including the amount of any Israeli taxeswithheld, to the extent that those distributions are paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits as determined for U.S. federal income taxpurposes. Subject to the discussion below under "Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations," distributions in excess of our earnings and profitswill be applied against and will reduce the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in its ordinary shares and, to the extent they exceed that tax basis, will be treated as gainfrom a sale or exchange of those ordinary shares. Our dividends will not qualify for the dividends-received deduction applicable in some cases to U.S.corporations. Dividends paid in NIS, including the amount of any Israeli taxes withheld, will be includible in the income of a U.S. Holder in a U.S. dollaramount calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the date they are included in income by the U.S. Holder, regardless of whether the paymentin fact is converted into U.S. dollars. Any gain or loss resulting from currency exchange fluctuations during the period from the date the dividend isincludible in the income of the U.S. Holder to the date that payment is converted into U.S. dollars generally will be treated as ordinary income or loss. A non-corporate U.S. holder’s "qualified dividend income" currently is subject to tax at reduced rates not exceeding 20%. For this purpose,"qualified dividend income" generally includes dividends paid by a foreign corporation if either: (a)the stock of that corporation with respect to which the dividends are paid is readily tradable on an established securities market in the U.S., or (b)that corporation is eligible for the benefits of a comprehensive income tax treaty with the U.S. which includes an information exchange programand is determined to be satisfactory by the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury. The Internal Revenue Service has determined that the U.S.-Israel TaxTreaty is satisfactory for this purpose. 71 In addition, under current law a U.S. Holder must generally hold its ordinary shares for more than 60 days during the 121 day period beginning 60days prior to the ex-dividend date, and meet other holding period requirements for qualified dividend income. Dividends paid by a foreign corporation will not qualify for the reduced rates, if such corporation is treated, for the tax year in which the dividend ispaid or the preceding tax year, as a "passive foreign investment company" for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We do not believe that we will be classified asa "passive foreign investment company" for U.S. federal income tax purposes for our current taxable year. However, see the discussion under "Passive ForeignInvestment Company Considerations" below. Subject to the discussion below under "Information Reporting and Back-up Withholding," a Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S.federal income or withholding tax on dividends received on ordinary shares unless that income is effectively connected with the conduct by that Non-U.S.Holder of a trade or business in the United States. Controlled Foreign Corporation Considerations If more than 50% of either the voting power of all classes of our voting stock or the total value of our stock is owned, directly or indirectly, bycitizens or residents of the U.S., U.S. domestic partnerships and corporations or estates or trusts other than foreign estates or trusts, each of which owns 10% ormore of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote ("10-Percent Shareholders"), we could be treated as a controlled foreigncorporation ("CFC"), for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This classification would, among other consequences, require 10-Percent Shareholders to includein their gross income their pro rata shares of "Subpart F income" (as defined by the Code) and earnings invested in U.S. property (as defined by the Code). In addition, gain from the sale or exchange of ordinary shares by a U.S. person who is or was a 10-Percent Shareholder at any time during the five-year period ending with the sale or exchange is treated as dividend income to the extent of earnings and profits of the company attributable to the stock soldor exchanged. Under certain circumstances, a corporate shareholder that directly owns 10% or more of voting shares may be entitled to an indirect foreign taxcredit for income taxes paid by us in connection with amounts so characterized as dividends under the Code. If we are classified as both a passive foreign investment company, as described below, and a CFC, we would generally not be treated as a passiveforeign investment company with respect to 10-Percent Shareholders. We believe that we are not and will not become a CFC. Foreign Tax Credit Any dividend income resulting from distributions we pay to a U.S. Holder with respect to the ordinary shares generally will be treated as foreignsource income for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes, which may be relevant in calculating such holder’s foreign tax credit limitation. Subject to certainconditions and limitations, Israeli tax withheld on dividends may be deducted from taxable income or credited against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income taxliability. The limitation on foreign taxes eligible for credit is calculated separately with respect to specific classes of income. The rules relating to thedetermination of foreign source income and the foreign tax credit are complex, and the availability of a foreign tax credit depends on numerous factors. Eachprospective purchaser who would be a U.S. Holder should consult with its own tax advisor to determine whether and to what extent it would be entitled to aforeign tax credit. Disposition of Ordinary Shares Upon the sale or other disposition of ordinary shares, subject to the discussion below under "Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations,"a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the disposition and the holder’s adjustedtax basis in the ordinary shares. U.S. Holders should consult their own advisors with respect to the tax consequences of the receipt of a currency other thanU.S. dollars upon such sale or other disposition. In the event there is an Israeli income tax on gain from the disposition of ordinary shares, such tax should generally be the type of tax that iscreditable for U.S. tax purposes; however, because it is likely that the source of any such gain would be a U.S. source, a U.S. foreign tax credit may not beavailable. U.S. shareholders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the ability to claim such credit. 72 Gain or loss upon the disposition of the ordinary shares will be treated as long-term if, at the time of the sale or disposition, the ordinary shares wereheld for more than one year. Long-term capital gains realized by non-corporate U.S. Holders are generally subject to a lower marginal U.S. federal income taxrate than ordinary income, other than qualified dividend income, as defined above. The deductibility of capital losses by a U.S. Holder is subject tolimitations. In general, any gain or loss recognized by a U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of ordinary shares will be U.S. source income or loss forU.S. foreign tax credit purposes. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors concerning the source of income for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes andthe effect of the U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty on the source of income. Subject to the discussion below under "Information Reporting and Back-up Withholding", a Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S.federal income or withholding tax on any gain realized on the sale or exchange of ordinary shares unless: ·that gain is effectively connected with the conduct by the Non-U.S. Holder of a trade or business in the United States, or ·in the case of any gain realized by an individual Non-U.S. Holder, that holder is present in the United States for 183 days or more in thetaxable year of the sale or exchange, and other conditions are met. Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations Special U.S. federal income tax rules apply to U.S. Holders owning shares of a passive foreign investment company. A non-U.S. corporation will beconsidered a passive foreign investment company for any taxable year in which, after applying certain look-through rules, 75% or more of its gross incomeconsists of specified types of passive income, or 50% or more of the average value of its assets consists of passive assets, which generally means assets thatgenerate, or are held for the production of, passive income. Passive income may include amounts derived by reason of the temporary investment of funds. Ifwe were classified as a passive foreign investment company, a U.S. Holder could be subject to increased tax liability upon the sale or other disposition ofordinary shares or upon the receipt of amounts treated as "excess distributions." Under these rules, the excess distribution and any gain would be allocatedratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the ordinary shares, and the amount allocated to the current taxable year and any taxable year prior to thefirst taxable year in which we were a passive foreign investment company would be taxed as ordinary income. The amount allocated to each of the othertaxable years would be subject to tax at the highest marginal rate in effect for the applicable class of taxpayer for that year, and an interest charge for thedeemed deferral benefit would be imposed on the resulting tax allocated to such other taxable years. The tax liability with respect to the amount allocated toyears prior to the year of the disposition, or "excess distribution," cannot be offset by any net operating losses. In addition, holders of stock in a passiveforeign investment company may not receive a "step-up" in basis on shares acquired from a decedent. U.S. Holders who hold ordinary shares during a periodwhen we are a passive foreign investment company will be subject to the foregoing rules even if we cease to be a passive foreign investment company. We believe that we are not a passive foreign investment company for U.S. federal income tax purposes, but we cannot be certain whether we will betreated as a passive foreign investment company for the current year or any future taxable year. Our belief that we will not be a passive foreign investmentcompany for the current year is based on our estimate of the fair market value of our intangible assets, including goodwill, not reflected in our financialstatements under U.S. GAAP, and our projection of our income for the current year. If the IRS successfully challenged our valuation of our intangible assets, itcould result in our classification as a passive foreign investment company. Moreover, because passive foreign investment company status is based on ourincome and assets for the entire taxable year, it is not possible to determine whether we will be a passive foreign investment company for the current taxableyear until after the close of the year. In the future, in calculating the value of our intangible assets, we will value our total assets, in part, based on our totalmarket value determined using the average of the selling price of our ordinary shares on the last trading day of each calendar quarter. We believe thisvaluation approach is reasonable. While we intend to manage our business so as to avoid passive foreign investment company status, to the extent consistentwith our other business goals, we cannot predict whether our business plans will allow us to avoid passive foreign investment company status or whether ourbusiness plans will change in a manner that affects our passive foreign investment company status determination. In addition, because the market price of ourordinary shares is likely to fluctuate and the market price of the shares of technology companies has been especially volatile, and because that market pricemay affect the determination of whether we will be considered a passive foreign investment company, we cannot be certain that we will not be considered apassive foreign investment company for any taxable year. 73 The passive foreign investment company rules described above will not apply to a U.S. Holder if the U.S. Holder makes an election to treat us as aqualified electing fund. However, a U.S Holder may make a qualified electing fund election only if we furnish the U.S. Holder with certain tax information.We currently do not provide this information, and we currently do not intend to take actions necessary to permit you to make a qualified electing fundelection in the event we are determined to be a passive foreign investment company. As an alternative to making this election, a U.S. Holder of passiveforeign investment company stock which is publicly-traded may in certain circumstances avoid certain of the tax consequences generally applicable toholders of a passive foreign investment company by electing to mark the stock to market annually and recognizing as ordinary income or loss each year anamount equal to the difference as of the close of the taxable year between the fair market value of the passive foreign investment company stock and the U.S.Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the passive foreign investment company stock. Losses would be allowed only to the extent of net mark-to-market gainpreviously included by the U.S. Holder under the election for prior taxable years. This election is available for so long as our ordinary shares constitute"marketable stock," which includes stock of a passive foreign investment company that is "regularly traded" on a "qualified exchange or other market."Generally, a "qualified exchange or other market" includes a national market system established pursuant to Section 11A of the Exchange Act. A class ofstock that is traded on one or more qualified exchanges or other markets is "regularly traded" on an exchange or market for any calendar year during whichthat class of stock is traded, other than in de minimis quantities, on at least 15 days during each calendar quarter. We believe that the NASDAQ will constitutea qualified exchange or other market for this purpose. However, no assurances can be provided that our ordinary shares will continue to trade on the NASDAQor that the shares will be regularly traded for this purpose. The rules applicable to owning shares of a passive foreign investment company are complex, and each prospective purchaser who would be a U.S.Holder should consult with its own tax advisor regarding the consequences of investing in a passive foreign investment company. Legislation Regarding Medicare Tax For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2012, a U.S. Holder that is an individual, estate or a trust that does not fall into a special class oftrusts that is exempt from such tax, will be subject to a 3.8% tax on the lesser of (1) the U.S. Holder’s “net investment income” for the relevant taxable yearand (2) the excess of the U.S. Holder’s modified adjusted gross income for the taxable year over a certain threshold (which, in the case of individuals, will bebetween $125 thousand and $250 thousand depending on the individual’s circumstances). A U.S. Holder’s “net investment income” may generally includeits dividend income and its net gains from the disposition of shares, unless such dividends or net gains are derived in the ordinary course of the conduct of atrade or business (other than a trade or business that consists of certain passive or trading activities). If you are a U.S. Holder that is an individual, estate ortrust, you are urged to consult your tax advisors regarding the applicability of the Medicare tax to your income and gains in respect of your investment in theshares. Information Reporting and Back-up Withholding In general, U.S. Holders may be subject to certain information reporting requirements under the Code relating to their purchase and/or ownership ofstock of a foreign corporation such as us. Failure to comply with these information reporting requirements may result in substantial penalties. For example, certain legislation generally requires certain individuals who are U.S. Holders to file Form 8938 (Statement of Specified ForeignAssets) to report the ownership of specified foreign financial assets for tax years beginning after March 18, 2010 if the total value of those assets exceeds anapplicable threshold amount (subject to certain exceptions). For these purposes, a specified foreign financial asset includes not only a financial account (asdefined by the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations ) maintained by a foreign financial institution, but also any stock or security issued by a non-U.S.person, any financial instrument or contract held for investment that has an issuer or counterparty other than a U.S. person and any interest in a foreign entity,provided that the asset is not held in an account maintained by a U.S. financial institution. The minimum applicable threshold amount is generally $50thousand in the aggregate, but this threshold amount varies depending on whether the individual lives in the U.S., is married, files a joint income tax returnwith his or her spouse, etc. Certain domestic entities that are U.S. Holders may also be required to file Form 8938 in the near future. U.S. Holders are urged toconsult with their tax advisors regarding their reporting obligations, including the requirement to file IRS Form 8938. 74 Information reporting requirements will generally apply to payments with respect to ordinary shares paid to a U.S. Holder other than certain exempt recipients(such as corporations). Backup withholding will apply to such payments if such U.S. Holder fails to provide a taxpayer identification number or certificationof other exempt status or fails to comply with the applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules. Any amounts withheld under the backupwithholding rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against such U.S. Holder's United States Federal income tax liability provided the requiredinformation is furnished by such U.S. Holder to the Internal Revenue Service. A U.S. Holder who does not provide a correct taxpayer identification numbermay be subject to penalties imposed by the Internal Revenue Service.Unless otherwise provided by the IRS, if the Company is a PFIC, a U.S. Holder is generally required to file an informational return annually to reportits ownership interest in the PFIC.Non-U.S. Holders generally are not subject to information reporting or back-up withholding with respect to dividends paid on, or upon thedisposition of, ordinary shares, provided that such non-U.S Holder certifies to its foreign status, or otherwise establishes an exemption.

I. SUBSIDIARY INFORMATION Not applicable. ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Exchange Rate Risk. A significant portion of our revenues and expenses are in foreign currencies. As a result numerous balances are denominated orlinked to these currencies. Foreign currency related fluctuations resulted in $170,000 and $102,000 financial income in 2012 and 2011, respectively. Theseresults are components of the exchange rate differences set forth in Note 12(a) to our financial statements. As of December 31, 2012, balance sheet financial items in U.S. dollars, our functional currency, and those currencies other than the U.S. dollars wereas follows: U.S. dollars NIS OtherCurrencies Total In thousands of U.S. dollars Current assets 38,241 7,823 1,628 47,692 Long-term assets 72,382 3,085 -- 75,467 Current liabilities (41,482) (8,951) (1,555) (51,988)Long-term liabilities (15,528) (933) -- (16,461)Total 53,615 1,024 73 54,170 75 The fair value of firmly committed transactions denominated in currencies other than our functional currency, as of December 31, 2012, was aliability of $238 thousand for less than one year and none for more than one year, all denominated in NIS. The fair value of derivative instruments and the notional amount of the hedged instruments in NIS, as of December 31, 2012 were as follows: Notional Amount Fair Value In thousands of U.S. dollars Zero-cost collar contracts to hedge payroll expenses 6,891 238 In addition, in territories where our prices are based on local currencies, fluctuations in the dollar exchange rate could affect our gross profit margin.We may compensate for such fluctuations by changing product prices accordingly. We also hold a small part of our financial investments in other currencies,mainly NIS and Euro. The dollar value of those investments may decline. A revaluation of 1% of the foreign currencies (i.e. other than U.S. dollar) would nothave a material effect on our income before taxes possibly reducing it by less than $0.1 million. A majority of our costs, including salaries, expenses and office expenses are incurred in NIS. Inflation in Israel may have the effect of increasing theU.S. dollar cost of our operations in Israel. If the U.S. dollar declines in value in relation to the New Israeli Shekel, it will become more expensive for us tofund our operations in Israel. A revaluation of 1% of the New Israeli Shekel will affect our income before tax by less than one percent (1%). The exchange rateof the U.S. dollar to the New Israeli Shekel, based on exchange rates published by the Bank of Israel, was as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2010 2011 2012 Average rate for period 3.733 3.578 3.855 Rate at year-end 3.549 3.821 3.733 Since 2006 we’ve engaged a firm to analyze our exposure to the fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates and are implementing theirrecommendations since then. However, due to the market conditions, volatility and other factors, its proposals and their implementation occasionally proveto be ineffective or can cause additional finance expenses. Interest Rate Risk. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while maximizing the interest income we receive fromour investments, without increasing risk. Our current investment policy is to invest in dollar denominated or linked debentures, of limited sums, rated "A" orhigher and with an average maturity of no more than 3 years. We are exposed to market risks resulting from changes in interest rates relating primarily to ourfinancial investments in cash, deposits and marketable securities. We do not use derivative financial instruments to limit exposure to interest rate risk. Ourinterest gains may decline in the future as a result of changes in the financial markets. However, as interests rates are already very low, we believe any suchpotential loss would be immaterial to us. ITEM 12. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES OTHER THAN EQUITY SECURITIES Not applicable. 76 PART II ITEM 13. DEFAULTS, DIVIDEND ARREARAGES AND DELINQUENCIES None. ITEM 14.MATERIAL MODIFICATIONS TO THE RIGHTS OF SECURITY HOLDERS AND USE OF PROCEEDS None. ITEM 15. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES (a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated theeffectiveness of our "disclosure controls and procedures" (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of December31, 2012. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of December 31, 2012, our disclosurecontrols and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act and therules thereunder, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to ensure thatinformation required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management,including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. (b) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting: Our management is responsible for establishing andmaintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control overfinancial reporting is a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements forexternal purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies andprocedures that: ●pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; ●provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance withgenerally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations ofour management and directors; and ●provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets thatcould have a material effect on the financial statements. Our management recognizes that there are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of internal control over financial reporting,including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or override of internal control. Accordingly, even effective internal control over financialreporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation, and may not prevent or detect all misstatements. Further,because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting may vary over time. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012. In making this assessment, ourmanagement used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in "Internal Control – IntegratedFramework." On November 30, 2012, we completed the acquisition of SweetIM. Due to the limited time between the closing date and the fiscal year end, andas permitted by SEC guidance, management excluded from its assessment the acquisition of the SweetIM business, which accounted for less than 1% ofconsolidated total assets and approximately 7% of consolidated revenues as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012. Our management has concluded,based on its assessment, that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2012. (c) Attestation Report of Registered Public Accounting Firm: Not applicable. (d) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting: During the period covered by this report, no changes in our internal control overfinancial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) have occurred that have materially affected, or arereasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 77 ITEM 16A.AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT Our board of directors has determined that Mr. David Jutkowitz, who is an independent director (as defined in the NASDAQ Listing Rules) andserves on our audit committee, qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" as defined in Item 16A of Form 20-F. ITEM 16B.CODE OF ETHICS Our board of directors has adopted a code of conduct applicable to all of our directors, officers and employees as required by the NASDAQ ListingRules, which also complies with the definition of a "code of ethics" set out in Section 406(c) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. A copy of the code of ethicscan be found on our website at: www.perion.com.ITEM 16C.PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES Fees for the professional services rendered by our independent accountants Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer, a member of Ernst & Young Global, foreach of the last two fiscal years were as follows (in thousands): 2011 2012 Audit Fees $173 $181 Tax Fees 150 105 Audit Related fees 39 15 Total $ 362 $ 301 Audit Fees include fees for professional services rendered by our principal accountant in connection with the audit of our consolidated annualfinancial statements and review of our unaudited interim financial statements. Audit Related Fees include consultation regarding financial reporting and due diligence in connection with acquisitions. Tax fees include: corporate tax returns, international tax, tax implication regarding our status as a PFIC, VAT advice related to dividend distributionand possible acquisitions. Our audit committee is responsible for the establishment of policies and procedures for review and pre-approval by the committee of all auditservices and permissible non-audit services to be performed by our independent auditor, in order to ensure that such services do not impair our auditor’sindependence. Pursuant to the pre-approval policy adopted by our audit committee, certain enumerated audit, audit-related and tax services have beengranted general pre-approval by our audit committee and need not be specifically pre-approved. Pre-approval fee levels or budgeted amounts for all servicesto be provided by the independent auditor will be established annually by the audit committee and the committee may also determine the appropriate ratiobetween the total amount of fees for audit, audit-related, tax services and other services. All requests for services to be provided by the independent auditorwill be submitted to our Chief Financial Officer, who will determine whether such services are included within the enumerated pre-approved services. Theaudit committee will be informed on a timely basis of any pre-approved services that were performed by the auditor. Requests for services that require specificpre-approval will be submitted to the audit committee with a statement as to whether, in the view of the Chief Financial Officer and the independent auditor,the request is consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence. The Chief Financial Officer will monitor the performance of all services and determinewhether such services are in compliance with the policy.

CHANGE IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT Not applicable. 78 ITEM 16G. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE We are a foreign private issuer whose ordinary shares are listed on the NASDAQ Global Market. As such, we are required to comply with U.S. federalsecurities laws, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and the NASDAQ Listing Rules, including the NASDAQ corporate governance requirements. TheNASDAQ Listing Rules provide that foreign private issuers may follow home country practice in lieu of certain qualitative listing requirements subject tocertain exceptions and except to the extent that such exemptions would be contrary to U.S. federal securities laws, so long as the foreign issuer discloses thatit does not follow such listing requirement and describes the home country practice followed in its reports filed with the SEC. Below is a concise summary ofthe significant ways in which our corporate governance practices differ from the corporate governance requirements of NASDAQ applicable to domestic U.S.listed companies: Shareholder Approval. Although the NASDAQ Listing Rules generally require shareholder approval of equity compensation plans and materialamendments thereto, we follow Israeli practice, which is to have such plans and amendments approved only by the board of directors, unless sucharrangements are for the compensation of chief executive officer or directors, in which case they also require the approval of the compensation committee andthe shareholders. In addition, rather than follow the NASDAQ Listing Rules requiring shareholder approval for the issuance of securities in certain circumstances, wefollow Israeli law, under which a private placement of securities requires approval by our board of directors and shareholders if it will cause a person tobecome a controlling shareholder (generally presumed at 25% ownership) or if: ·the securities issued amount to 20% or more of our outstanding voting rights before the issuance; ·some or all of the consideration is other than cash or listed securities or the transaction is not on market terms; and ·the transaction will increase the relative holdings of a shareholder that holds 5% or more of our outstanding share capital or voting rights orwill cause any person to become, as a result of the issuance, a holder of more than 5% of our outstanding share capital or voting rights. Shareholder Quorum. The NASDAQ Listing Rules require that an issuer have a quorum requirement for shareholders meetings of at least one-third ofthe outstanding shares of the issuer’s common voting stock. We have chosen to follow home country practice with respect to the quorum requirements of anadjourned shareholders meeting. Our articles of association, as permitted under the Companies Law, provide that if at the adjourned meeting a legal quorumis not present after 30 minutes from the time specified for the commencement of the adjourned meeting, then the meeting shall take place regardless of thenumber of members present and in such event the required quorum shall consist of any number of shareholders present in person or by proxy. Annual Reports. While the NASDAQ Listing Rules generally require that companies send an annual report to shareholders prior to the annualgeneral meeting, we follow the generally accepted business practice for companies in Israel. Specifically, we file annual reports on Form 20-F, which containfinancial statements audited by an independent accounting firm, electronically with the SEC and post a copy on our website. Executive Sessions. While the NASDAQ Listing Rules require that "independent directors," as defined in the NASDAQ Listing Rules, must haveregularly scheduled meetings at which only "independent directors" are present. Israeli law does not require, nor do our independent directors necessarilyconduct, regularly scheduled meetings at which only they are present. Approval of Related Party Transactions. Although the NASDAQ Listing Rules (Rule 5630(a)) require the approval of the audit committee oranother independent body of a company's board of directors for all "related party transactions" required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 7.B. of Form 20-F, wefollow the provisions of the Israeli Companies Law. Specifically, that all related party transactions are approved in accordance with the requirements andprocedures for approval of interested party acts and transactions, set forth in sections 268 to 275 of the Israeli Companies Law, and the regulationspromulgated thereunder, which allow for the approval of certain related party transactions, which are immaterial, in the normal course of business and onmarket terms, by the board of directors. Other specified transactions can require audit committee approval and shareholder approval, as well as boardapproval. See also "Item 10.B Memorandum and Articles of Association — Approval of Related Party Transactions" for the definition and procedures for theapproval of related party transactions. ITEM 16H.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Perion Network Ltd. ("the Company") and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and2012, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years inthe period ended December 31, 2012. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express anopinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standardsrequire that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We werenot engaged to perform an audit of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control overfinancial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on theeffectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on atest basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimatesmade by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position ofthe Company and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2011 and 2012, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the threeyears in the period ended December 31, 2012, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

F - 9 PERION NETWORK LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS U.S. dollars in thousands (except share and per share data) NOTE 1:-GENERAL Perion Network Ltd. ("Perion") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the "Company"), is a digital media company thatprovides products and services to consumers, focusing on second wave adopters. The Company’s products include primarily: IncrediMail, acommunication client; Smilebox, a photo sharing and social expression product and service; and Sweet IM, an instant messaging application.The Company generates revenues primarily through search, the sale of premium products and services, and advertising. The Company was incorporated under the laws of Israel in 1999 and commenced operations in 2000.In November 2011, the Company changed its name from IncrediMail Ltd. to Perion Network Ltd.The Company has one major customer which accounted for 70%, 67% and 63% of total revenues, in 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively. Thiscustomer represents 68% and 72% of total trade receivable as of December 31, 2011 and 2012, respectively. Losing this customer could causea material adverse effect to the Company's results of operations and financial position. The major customer has limited termination rights. OnDecember 27, 2010, the Company signed an agreement with the customer, effective January 1, 2011 through January 31, 2013. On January31, 2013, the Company signed an amendment to the agreement extending the term of the agreement to May 31, 2013 to coincide with theexpiration date of the current agreement between Sweet IM and Google. On April 24, 2013 the Company signed a new agreement withGoogle, combining the activity of the Company and that of SweetIM, under one agreement, while terminating the previous agreements bothCompany and SweetIM had, effective May 1, 2013, extending the term again for another two years ending April 30, 2015 NOTE 2:-SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES a.Use of estimates:The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requiresmanagement to make estimates, judgments and assumptions. The Company's management believes that the estimates, judgments andassumptions used are reasonable based upon information available at the time they are made. These estimates, judgments andassumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates ofthe financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ fromthose estimates. On an ongoing basis, the Company's management evaluates estimates, including those related to fair values and usefullives of intangible assets, fair values of stock-based awards, income taxes, and contingent liabilities. Such estimates are based onhistorical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis formaking judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. F - 10 PERION NETWORK LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS U.S. dollars in thousands (except share and per share data) NOTE 2:-SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) b.Financial statements in U.S. dollars: The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. Most of the Company’s revenues are generated in U.S. dollars ("dollar"). Inaddition, a substantial portion of the Company’s costs are incurred in dollars. The Company's management believes that the dollar isthe currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates. Thus, the Company’s functional currency is the dollar. Accordingly, monetary accounts maintained in currencies other than the dollar are remeasured into dollars, in accordance withAccounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 830, "Foreign Currency Matters". All transaction gains and losses of the remeasuredmonetary balance sheet items are reflected in the statement of income as financial income or expenses, as appropriate. c.Principles of consolidation:The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Perion and its subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions havebeen eliminated upon consolidation. d.Cash equivalents:The Company considers short-term unrestricted highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into cash, purchased withoriginal maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. e.Restricted cash:Restricted cash is primarily due to the payment to former shareholders of Sweet IM (refer to Note 3 for further details). The remainingbalance is comprised of deposits used primarily as security for rented premises. f.Property and equipment:Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line methodover the estimated useful lives of the assets at the following annual rates: % Computers and peripheral equipment33Office furniture and equipment7 - 15Leasehold improvements are depreciated using the straight-line method over the term of the lease or the estimated useful life of theimprovements, whichever is shorter. F - 11 PERION NETWORK LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS U.S. dollars in thousands (except share and per share data) NOTE 2:-SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) g.Impairment of long-lived assets and intangible assets subject to amortization:Property and equipment and intangible assets subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 360,"Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that thecarrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of thecarrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are consideredto be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fairvalue of the assets. For each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012, no impairment losses have been identified.In determining the fair values of long-lived assets for purpose of measuring impairment, Company's assumptions include those thatmarket participants will consider in valuations of similar assets. h.Goodwill and other intangible assets:Goodwill reflects the excess of the purchase price of business acquired over the fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill is notamortized but instead is tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate thatthe carrying value may be impaired.In accordance with ASC No. 350 the Company performs an annual impairment test at December 31 each year. The first step, identifyinga potential impairment, compares the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds its fairvalue, the second step would need to be performed; otherwise, no further step is required. The second step, measuring the impairmentloss, compares the implied fair value of the goodwill with the carrying amount of the goodwill. Any excess of the goodwill carryingamount over the applied fair value is recognized as an impairment loss, and the carrying value of goodwill is written down to fairvalue. During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, no impairment losses were recorded.Intangible assets that are not considered to have an indefinite useful life are amortized over their estimated useful lives, which rangefrom 3 to 10.25 years. The acquired customer arrangements, technology and logo are amortized over their estimated useful lives inproportion to the economic benefits realized. This accounting policy results in accelerated amortization of such intangible assets ascompared to the straight-line method. F - 12 PERION NETWORK LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSU.S. dollars in thousands (except share and per share data) NOTE 2:-SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) i.Revenue recognition:The Company generates revenues from three major sources; search related advertising, product sales and other advertising. Search related advertising revenues are generated by receiving a share of the advertising revenues from companies providing searchcapabilities. In addition, the Company also derives revenues from: (i) product sales (ii) other. Revenues from products include licensing the right touse its email software, content database, photo sharing and social expression product and e-mail anti spam. Revenues from otherservices include search related advertising and other advertising. In accordance with ASC 605-50, "Customer Payments andIncentives", the Company accounts for cash consideration given to customers, for whom it does not receive a separately identifiablebenefit or cannot, reasonably estimate fair value, as a reduction of revenue rather than as an expense. Revenues from software license products are recognized when all criteria outlined in ASC 985-605, "Software - Revenue Recognition"are met. Revenues from software license products are recognized when persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, delivery of theproduct has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable. Company's e-mail product users may alsopurchase a license to its content database. This content database provides additional Perion Network content files in the form of emailbackground, animation sounds, graphics and e-mail notifies. Content database licensing fees are recognized over the license period.Lifetime licensing revenues were recognized over the estimated usage period of the content database. In accordance with its policy, theCompany reviewed the estimated usage period of the lifetime licensing on an ongoing basis. During 2012, the Company notifiedcustomers owning its lifetime licenses that they will no longer be able to access the Company’s site for downloading content,requesting they download all the content to their own computer. As result of such change, the Company is no longer required to makecontent available under those arrangements. Therefore, the remaining deferred revenues balance in the amount of $1,443 associatedwith these arrangements, was immediately recognized. Revenues from email anti-spam license fees, photo sharing, social expression product and service are recognized ratably over the termof the license. Deferred revenues include upfront payments received from customers, for whom revenues have not yet been recognized. Finally, the Company offers advertisers the ability to place text-based ads on its home page and website and banners in its emailclients. Advertisers are charged monthly based on the number of times a user clicks on one of the ads. The Company recognizesrevenue from advertisement at that time. F - 13 PERION NETWORK LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSU.S. dollars in thousands (except share and per share data) NOTE 2:-SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) j.Cost of revenues:Cost of revenues consists primarily of salaries and related expenses, license fees, amortization of acquired technology, amortization ofcapitalized research and development costs and payments for content and server maintenance, all related to its product revenues andcommunicating with its users. The direct cost relating to search and advertising revenues is immaterial. k.Research and development costs:Research and development costs incurred in the process of software production before establishment of technological feasibility, arecharged to expenses as incurred. Costs of the production of a product master incurred subsequent to the establishment of technologicalfeasibility are capitalized according to the principles set forth in ASC 985-20, "Software - Costs of Software to Be Sold, Leased, orMarketed". Based on the Company's product development process, technological feasibility is established upon completion of thedetailed program design ("DPD") (the DPD of a computer software product that takes product function, feature, and technicalrequirements to their most detailed, logical form and is ready for coding).Costs incurred by the Company between completion of the DPD and the point at which the product is ready for general release, arecapitalized unless considered immaterial.Capitalized software development costs are amortized commencing with general product release by the straight-line method over theestimated useful life of the software product, which is generally 3 - 5 years. l.Income taxes:The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, "Income Taxes". This Statement prescribes the use of theliability method whereby deferred tax assets and liability account balances are determined based on differences between financialreporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when thedifferences are expected to reverse. The Company provides a valuation allowance, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to theirestimated realizable value.The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740, which contains a two-step approach for recognizingand measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return bydetermining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that, on an evaluation of the technical merits,the tax position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is tomeasure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. F - 14 PERION NETWORK LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSU.S. dollars in thousands (except share and per share data) NOTE 2:-SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)In the year ended December 31, 2010 the Company accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in its taxexpenses. During 2010 interest expense amounted to $ 140. Starting 2011, the Company changed the classification of interest from taxexpenses to financial expenses as it distorts its tax expense. Interest for 2011 and 2012 amounted to income of $ 988 and $ 225respectively. As the amount included in tax expense for interest during 2010 was immaterial, the Company did not reclassify suchamounts to conform to current year's presentation. m.Advertising costs:Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and consist primarily of customer acquisition cost. Advertising costs for each of the threeyears in the period ended December 31, 2012 amounted to $ 1,782, $ 8,136 and $ 22,270, respectively. n.Concentrations of credit risk:Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cashequivalents, restricted cash and trade receivables. The majority of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are invested in dollar instruments with major banks inIsrael and the U.S. deposits in the U.S. may be in excess of insured limits and are not insured in other jurisdictions. Generally, thesedeposits may be redeemed upon demand and, therefore, bear minimal risk. The Company is subject to a low amount of credit risk with respect to sales of the Company’s software products and content database,as these sales are primarily obtained through credit card sales. The Company’s major customer is financially sound, and the Companybelieves low credit risk is associated with this customer. To date, the Company has not experienced any material bad debt losses. o.Severance pay:The Company's liability for severance pay is calculated pursuant to Israel's Severance Pay Law based on its employees' most recentmonthly salaries, multiplied by the number of years of their employment, or a portion thereof, as of the balance sheet date. This liability is fully provided for by monthly deposits in insurance policies and by an accrual. The deposited funds include profits (losses) accumulated up to the balance sheet date. The deposited funds may be withdrawn onlyupon the fulfillment of the obligation pursuant to Israel's Severance Pay Law or labor agreements. F - 15 PERION NETWORK LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSU.S. dollars in thousands (except share and per share data) NOTE 2:-SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)The Company's agreements with employees in Israel, joining the Company since February 2, 2008, are in accordance with section 14 ofthe Severance Pay Law, 1963, where the Company's contributions for severance pay shall be instead of its severance liability. Uponcontribution of the full amount of the employee's monthly salary, and release of the policy to the employee, no additional calculationsshall be conducted between the parties regarding the matter of severance pay and no additional payments shall be made by theCompany to the employee. Further, the related obligation and amounts deposited on behalf of such obligation are not stated on thebalance sheet, as they are legally released from obligation to employees once the deposit amounts have been paid. Severance expenses for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012 amounted to $ 786, $ 586 and $ 589, respectively. p.Net earnings per Ordinary share:Basic net earnings per Ordinary shares are computed based on the weighted average number of Ordinary shares outstanding duringeach year. Diluted net earnings per Ordinary share are computed based on the weighted average number of Ordinary shares outstandingduring each year, plus dilutive potential Ordinary shares considered outstanding during the year, in accordance with ASC 260,"Earnings Per Share". The weighted average number of Ordinary shares related to the outstanding options excluded from the calculations of diluted netearnings per Ordinary share, as these securities are anti-dilutive, was 922,069, 1,266,919 and 1,315,106 for the years endedDecember 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively. q.Accounting for stock-based compensation:The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under ASC 718, "Compensation - Stock Compensation", which requires themeasurement and recognition of compensation expense based on estimated fair values for all share-based payment awards made toemployees and directors. ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of equity-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricingmodel. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite serviceperiods in the Company's consolidated statement of income. ASC No. 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant andrevised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company recognizes compensation expenses for the value of its awards, which have graded vesting based on service conditions,using the straight line method, over the requisite service period of each of the awards, net of estimated forfeitures. Estimated forfeituresare based on actual historical pre-vesting forfeitures. F - 16 PERION NETWORK LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS U.S. dollars in thousands (except share and per share data) NOTE 2:-SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)The Company estimates the fair value of standard stock options granted using the Binomial option-pricing model. The option-pricingmodels require a number of assumptions, of which the most significant are; volatility and the expected option term. In 2010, expectedvolatility was calculated based upon an average between historical volatilities of the Company, similar entities and industry sectorindex similar to the Company's characteristics, since it did not have sufficient company specific data. In 2011 and 2012, expectedvolatility was calculated based upon actual historical stock price movements. The expected option term was calculated based on theCompany’s assumptions of early exercise multiples which were calculated based on comparable companies and termination exit ratewhich was calculated based on actual historical data. The expected option term represents the period that the Company’s stock optionsare expected to be outstanding. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield from U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with anequivalent term. In November 2010 the Company's Board decided to change its dividend policy so that beginning with earnings of 2011 and beyond,the Company does not intend to distribute any dividends. The fair value of the Company's stock options granted to employees and directors was estimated using the following weighted averageassumptions: Year ended December 31, 2010 2011 2012 Risk-free interest rate 1.62% 2.23% 0.75% Dividend yield 0%-7.83% 0% 0% Weighted average dividend yield 5.65% 0% 0% Expected volatility 62.77%-64.56% 47.31%-65.27% 45.60%-61.90% Weighted average volatility 63.67% 56.29% 53.76% Expected term (years) 4.6 3.75 4.09 r.Derivative instruments:The Company accounts for derivatives and hedging based on ASC No. 815, "Derivatives and Hedging". ASC No. 815 requires theCompany to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value (i.e., gains orlosses) of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and further,on the type of hedging relationship. In order to reduce the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on its results, the Company enters into foreign currencyexchange forward contracts and options contracts to purchase and sell foreign currencies to hedge a portion of its foreign currency netexposure resulting from payroll expenses denominated in NIS. F - 17 PERION NETWORK LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSU.S. dollars in thousands (except share and per share data) NOTE 2:-SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)These instruments were not designated as cash flow hedge as defined by ASC 815, "Derivative and Hedging" and, therefore, theCompany recognized the changes in fair value of these instruments in the statement of income as financial income or expense, asincurred. Gains or losses on these derivatives, which partially offset the foreign currency impact from the underlying exposures, andamounted to $ (13), $ (25) and $ 238 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively. The notional value of the Company’s derivative instruments as of December 31, 2011 and 2012 amounted to $ 4,300 and $ 6,891,respectively. Notional values are U.S. dollar translated and calculated based on forward rates for forward contracts and based on spotrates for options. Gross notional amounts do not quantify risk or represent assets or liabilities of the Company, but are used in thecalculation of settlements under the contracts. The Company measured the fair value of these contracts in accordance with ASC No.820 and they were classified as level 2. s.Fair value of financial instruments:The carrying amounts of financial instruments carried at cost, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade receivables,other receivables, trade payables and other liabilities approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturities of such instruments. The Company follows the provisions of ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures". Under this standard, fair value isdefined 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 transactionbetween market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company uses various valuation approaches. ASC 820 establishes a hierarchy for inputs used inmeasuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that themost observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset orliability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs thatreflect the Company's assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developedbased on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the observabilityof inputs as follows:· Level 1 - Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the Company has the ability to access. · Level 2 - Valuations based on one or more quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs areobservable, either directly or indirectly.

Money market funds and treasury notes in the total amount of $ 10 and $ 40, respectively,presented as part of cash and cash equivalents and derivative financial instruments, in the amount of $ 248 and $ (44) respectively,presented in other receivables and prepaid expenses and as part of accrued expenses and other liabilities, respectively, measured usinginput type Level 2. Payment obligation related to acquisitions (short term and long term) in the amount of $ 16,427 and $ 6,574respectively, is classified as level 3. Changes in level 3 are primarily attributable to increase related to the Sweet IM acquisition during2012 (refer to Note 3) and the decrease is primarily due to the payment made during 2012 for Smilebox acquisition (refer to Note 3). t.Treasury shares:In the past the Company repurchased its Ordinary shares on the open market and holds those shares as treasury shares. The Companypresents the cost to repurchase treasury shares as a reduction of shareholders' equity. u.Comprehensive income:The Company accounts for comprehensive income in accordance with ASC 220, "Comprehensive Income". This statement establishesstandards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general purpose financialstatements. Comprehensive income generally represents all changes in shareholders' equity during the period except those resultingfrom investments by, or distributions to, shareholders. The Company determined that its items of other comprehensive income relatesto unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities.In May 2011, the FASB issued guidance that changed the requirement for presenting "Comprehensive Income" in the consolidatedfinancial statements. The update requires an entity to present the components of other comprehensive income either in a singlecontinuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The update is effective for fiscal years,and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011 and should be applied retrospectively. The Companyadopted this new guidance on January 1, 2012 and elected to present the comprehensive income in two separate but consecutivestatements. F - 19 PERION NETWORK LTD.

Any Person entitled to indemnificationhereunder ("Indemnified Party") will (i) give prompt written notice to the Person from whom indemnity is sought ("Indemnifying Party") of any claim withrespect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) unless in such Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such Indemnified andIndemnifying Parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonablysatisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of itsobligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that such failure shall have proximately and materially adverselyprejudiced the Indemnifying Party. In addition, an Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such proceeding and toparticipate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) theIndemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of suchproceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such proceeding or (3) the named parties in any proceeding(including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised bycounsel that conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party. If such defense isassumed, the Indemnifying Party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the Indemnified Party without its consent (but such consentwill not be unreasonably withheld). An Indemnifying Party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim will not be obligated to paythe fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all Indemnified Parties with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any IndemnifiedParty, on the advice of counsel, a conflict of interest may exist between such Indemnified Party and any other of such Indemnified Parties with respect to suchclaim. 6 5.3 All fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection withinvestigating or preparing to defend such proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred,within thirty (30) trading days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party (regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that an Indemnified Partyis not entitled to indemnification hereunder; provided, that the Indemnifying Party may require such Indemnified Party to undertake to reimburse all suchfees and expenses to the extent it is finally judicially determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder). 5.4 The indemnification provided for under this Agreement will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or onbehalf of the Indemnified Party or any officer, director or controlling Person of such Indemnified Party. In addition, the indemnification will survive thecompletion of any offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement and will survive the termination of this Agreement. Each party also agrees tomake such provisions, as are reasonably requested by any Indemnified Party, for contribution to such other party in the event the first party’s indemnificationis unavailable for any reason in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connectionwith the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The amount paid or payable by aparty as a result of any losses shall be deemed to include any reasonable attorneys' or other reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connectionwith any proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section wereavailable to such party in accordance with its terms. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to,among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of amaterial fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access toinformation, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, no holder of RegistrableSecurities shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the proceeds actually received by such holder ofRegistrable Securities from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages that such holder ofRegistrable Securities has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. Theindemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the IndemnifiedParties. The indemnification and contribution provisions of this Agreement may be superseded by the comparable provisions of a customary underwritingagreement entered into with an underwriter selected in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. 6.
