The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2003. Although the Company believes that the disclosures presented herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, it is suggested that these condensed interim consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and footnotes included in the Companys annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2002. |
The Company has a history of net losses and as of September 30, 2003, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $39,913. The Company has funded these losses principally from proceeds from equity financing. During 2002 and the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the Company has reduced operating expenses mainly through reductions in workforce. Management believes that existing cash and cash equivalents and amounts raised during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and subsequent to the balance sheet date (see Note 8) will be adequate to fund operations at least through the end of 2004. |
A. The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are identical to those followed in the preparation of the latest annual financial statements. |

B. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS |
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 (the interpretation). In general, a variable interest entity (VIE) is an entity that has (1) insufficient amount of equity for the entity to carry on its principal operations, without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, (2) a group of equity investors that do not have the ability through voting or similar rights to make decisions about the entitys activities, or (3) a group of equity investors that do not have the obligation to absorb the entitys losses or have the right to receive the benefits of the entity. The interpretation requires the consolidation of a VIE by the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the entity that absorbs a majority of the entitys expected losses, receives a majority of the entitys expected residual returns, or both, as a result of ownership, contractual or other financial interests in the entity. |
Presently, entities are generally consolidated by an enterprise that has a controlling financial interest through ownership of a majority voting interest in the entity. |
The provisions of this interpretation are to be applied commencing from July 1, 2003, to variable interests in VIEs created before February 1, 2003 and immediately to variable interest in a VIE initially created after January 31, 2003. Since the Company has no such interests in a VIE created after January 31, 2003, the application of this interpretation had no impact on the consolidated results of operations or consolidated balance sheet to date. The Company has one investment that is accounted for under the equity method. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of this interpretation in respect of this investment. The Companys exposure to loss as of September 30, 2003, does not exceed its investment in this company. |

The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB 25), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and the FASB Interpretation No. 44, Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation, in accounting for its employee stock option plans. According to APB 25, compensation expense is measured under the intrinsic value method, whereby compensation expense is equal to the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the stock at the grant date of the award or other measurement date over the exercise price. |
The following pro forma information presents the effect on the consolidated stock-based compensation expense, net loss and loss per share as if the fair value based method provided under FASB Statement No. 123 had been applied to all outstanding awards in each period. |

Basic and diluted net loss per share is presented in conformity with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share, for all periods presented. Basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share was determined by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per ordinary share is the same as basic net loss per ordinary share for all periods presented, as the effects of the Companys potential additional ordinary shares were antidilutive. |
The calculation of diluted net loss per share excludes outstanding stock options because their inclusion would be antidilutive. There were approximately 1,084,404, 691,196 and 972,621 stock options outstanding as of September 30, 2003, September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2002, respectively. |
In June 2003, the Company converted a loan from an officer in the amount of $465 to 135,485 options to purchase ordinary shares of the Company at an exercise price equal to par value. The fair value of the options approximates the amount of the loan. The options vest immediately and expire in May 2008. |
In July 2003, pursuant to stock purchase agreements, the Company issued to two investors 231,818 ordinary shares in consideration for $637.5 and received a firm commitment from one of the investors to purchase an additional 100,000 ordinary shares in consideration for an additional $275, when the Company notifies the investor that the effectiveness of a registration statement covering the aforementioned shares for resale in the U.S. is imminent. Additional warrant to purchase 50,000 ordinary shares at an exercise price of $5.75 per share will also be issued upon the completion of such registration. Concurrently with the above share issuance, the Company issued to the two investors warrants to purchase 50,000 and 90,909 ordinary shares at a per share exercise price of $5.75 and $3.85, respectively. The warrants are fully exercisable and expire on June 26, 2006 and July 9, 2008, respectively. |
The Company paid, in respect of the above, a finders fee in cash equivalent to 10% of the amount raised by the Company and in addition warrants to purchase 18,182 ordinary shares with an exercise price of $3.85 per share and warrants to purchase 10,000 ordinary shares with an exercise price of $5.75 per share. |

On September 8, 2003, the Company entered into an agreement to issue in a private placement Convertible Promissory Notes (the 4% Notes) in the aggregate principal amount of $999, bearing 4% interest per annum, to Platinum Partners Value Arbitrage Fund, Platinum Global Macro Fund, West End Convertibles Fund L.P., WEC Partners LLC and Michael H. Weiss (the Lenders). On September 24, 2003, the Company issued $624 of the 4% Notes, due to a reduction in commitment by Platinum Partners Value Arbitrage Fund and Platinum Global Macro Fund. At the same time, the Company issued warrants with a five-year term to purchase 112,365 of our ordinary shares to the Lenders (the Note Warrants). Pursuant to their terms, the 4% Notes automatically convert into ordinary shares of the Company, and the Note Warrants become exercisable, upon the shareholders approval of the conversion of the 4% Notes and the exercisability of the Note Warrants. The conversion price for the 4% Notes is one ordinary share for every $2.75 of indebtedness at the time of conversion, and the exercise price for the Note Warrants is $5.75 per share. On November 14, 2003, subsequent to the balance sheet date, the shareholders approved the conversion of the 4% Notes and the exercisability of the Note Warrants and, immediately upon such approval, the 4% Notes converted into 228,044 ordinary shares of the Company and the Note Warrants became exercisable. |
If, however, such requisite approvals would not have been obtained by May 8, 2004, the 4% Notes would have been immediately due and payable in cash and the Note Warrants would have expired by their terms. Concurrently with the issuance of the 4% Notes and the Note Warrants, the Company issued to the holders of the 4% Notes additional warrants (the Additional Warrants) to purchase 293,647 of our ordinary shares. In the event that the requisite approvals for the Note Offering had not been obtained by May 8, 2004, the Additional Warrants would have become immediately exercisable for a three-year period, with an exercise price of $4.25 per share. However, since the requisite approvals have been obtained, the Additional Warrants expired by their terms. |
Upon the issuance of the notes on September 24, 2003, the Company was required according to EITF No. 00-27 Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments to record a discount in the amount of approximately $183 which is being amortized to financial expenses over the period between the issuance of the 4% Notes and their conversion into ordinary shares. |

According to EITF 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios, the warrants issued in connection with this note were accounted for under APB 14, Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants. Under APB 14, the fair value of the warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes options pricing model with the following assumptions: a risk-free interest rate of 2.5%, a dividend yield of 0%, a volatility of the expected market price of the Companys ordinary shares of 84% and a contractual life of 5 years. The fair value of the warrants of $183 is offset from the convertible notes and presented as a component of additional paid in capital in the shareholders equity. This discount represents the theoretical most beneficial conversion feature to the holder of the note measured at the issuance date of the note that is also the commitment date. |
1. | On October 23, 2003, the Company received a conversion notice for the 10% Redeemable Convertible Promissory Note (the Note) in the aggregate amount of $250 plus the accrued interest, issued by the Company on December 2002 to an investor, pursuant to which the Note was converted into 52,000 ordinary shares. |
2. | On October 28, 2003, the Companys board of directors approved the extension of the arrangement of the plan approved by the board of directors on February 26, 2002 to pay salaries of certain of its employees who agree to participate in the plan, by way of grant of options, only for the employees of InterCard group, for the period commencing November 2003 and ending July 2004. |
3. | On November 14, 2003, the Companys shareholders approved the increase of the Companys authorized share capital by NIS 500,000, divided into 5,000,000 ordinary shares of NIS 0.1 nominal value each, so that, following the increase, the Companys authorized share capital shall be NIS 1,000,000, divided into 10,000,000 ordinary shares NIS 0.1 par value. |
