Acquisitions:
|
|
On January 19, 2011 ("acquisition date"), the Company completed the purchase of all the share capital of Nera Networks AS (now called Ceragon Networks AS) and its subsidiaries (the "Nera") from Eltek ASA, pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement dated January 19, 2011 (the "SPA"). At the time of the acquisition, Nera was a privately-owned Norwegian company, headquartered in Bergen, Norway, a leading manufacturer of microwave radio systems and a leading expert in long distance microwave links. The acquisition of Nera expanded the Company's position as part of its overall strategy to become a premier microwave backhaul specialist at a crucial juncture for the industry. The consideration for all of the shares of Nera was $ 57,175, which was funded through a combination of cash on hand and $ 35,000 of bank debt (for more information see note 10). An amount of $ 10,000 out of the consideration was deposited in escrow for 18 months from the date of the sale of Nera's shares. January 19, 2011 was considered to be the acquisition date, as control was obtained, assets were received and liabilities assumed. Eltek ASA undertook not to compete with the Company for a period of five years. In April 2014 the Company signed a settlement agreement with Eltek ASA (for more information see note 20a.).

In connection with the SPA and on the same day, Nera entered into: (i) a Trademark Purchase Agreement with Nera Telecommunications Ltd. ("Neratel"), a subsidiary of Eltek ASA, under which it sold to NeraTel certain trade names and domain names of Nera, while retaining a right to use the name "Nera" for the first two years, and Neratel undertook a three year period non-compete; and (ii) a non-exclusive OEM Agreement with a subsidiary of Neratel, under which such subsidiary shall purchase products from Nera for their resale under its private label, in the region of the Middle East, North Africa and Asia-Pacific and provide certain sub-contract services to customers of Nera in the Middle East.
|
|
The acquisition was accounted for by the acquisition method and accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated according to the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Nera. The excess of the purchase price over the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets was assigned to goodwill. The results of the Nera operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since January 19, 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
|
|
|
In March 2013, the Company entered into a syndicated credit agreement (the “Credit Facility”) with four financial institutions. Such agreement provides the Company with revolving credit facilities in the form of loans and bank guarantees, under which an aggregate sum of up to $ 73,500 of credit loans and up to $ 40,200 of bank guarantees shall be available. The Credit Facilities shall terminate, and all borrowings shall be repaid, upon March 14, 2016. Repayment may be accelerated by the financial institutions in certain events of default including in insolvency events, failure to comply with financial covenants or an event in which a current or future shareholder acquires control (as defined under the Israel Securities Law) of the Company. The financial covenants are mainly based on financial ratios that are related to the Company's total shareholders' equity, financial debt, trade receivables balance and working capital (For further information, see note 10). As of December 31, 2013 the Company utilized $ 57,226 out of $ 73,500 of available credit lines from several banks.
|
|
During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities amounting to $26,921 and $29,512 respectively. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had $52,337 in cash and cash equivalents, short term bank deposits and short and long-term marketable securities, out of which $6,397 is located in Venezuela. This country is regulated for foreign currency exchange which impairs the availability of that cash outside of the country.
|
|
During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company announced that it will realign its operations, reduce head count and undertake other cost reduction measures in order to improve profitability. Furthermore, the Company has amended its Credit Facility arrangements to adjust the financial covenants and applicable interest rates to better reflect new operational results of the Company.
Subsequent to the balance sheet date, the Company has further amended its Credit Facility arrangements to adjust the financial covenants and applicable interest rates and fees. The new amendment shall be applied until October 1, 2014, except for certain financial covenants which shall be applied until March 31, 2015. Subsequently, the original covenants will be restored. According to the new amendment, the available loan facilities shall be reduced by $ 5,000 on January 1, 2015 and by additional $ 5,000 on April 1, 2015. Additionally, in case where the Company will not comply with a certain covenant in the third quarter of 2014, the available loan facilities will be reduced by $ 5,000 starting October 1, 2014 instead of April, 2015. As of the date of the financial statements the Company meets the covenants in the Credit Facility, and expects to continue to meet them based on the agreed amendments.
In November 2013, the Company completed a public offering of its shares on NASDAQ. Total net proceeds from the issuance amounted to approximately $34,959 (see also note 14b.). We believe that current cash and cash equivalent balances, short-term bank deposits and short-term marketable securities will be sufficient for our requirements through at least the next 12 months.

Basis of presentation:
|
|
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("U.S. GAAP").
|
|
b.
|
Use of estimates:
|
|
The preparation of the financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make judgments, assumptions, and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience, and various other factors that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, to determine the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. To the extent there are material differences between the Company's estimates and the actual results, the Company's future consolidated results of operation may be affected.
|
|
c.
|
Financial statements in U.S. dollars:
|
|
A majority of the revenues of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries are generated in U.S. dollars ("dollars"). In addition, a substantial portion of the Company's and certain of its subsidiaries' costs is incurred in dollars. Since management believes that the dollar is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company and its subsidiaries operate and considers the non-U.S. subsidiaries to be a direct, integral extension of the parent company's operations, the dollar is its functional and reporting currency. Accordingly, amounts in currencies other than U.S dollars have been remeasured in accordance with ASC topic 830, "Foreign Currency Matters" ("ASC 830") as follows:
|
|
Monetary balances - at the exchange rate in effect on the balance sheet date.
|
|
Statement of income items - average exchange rates prevailing during the year.
|
|
All exchange gains and losses from the re-measurement mentioned above are reflected in the statement of Income (Loss) in financial income, net.
|
|
The financial statements of the Company's Brazilian subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the dollar, have been re-measured and translated into dollars. All amounts on the balance sheets have been translated into the dollar using the exchange rates in effect on the relevant balance sheet dates. All amounts in the statements of operations have been translated into the dollar using the average exchange rate for the relevant periods. The resulting translation adjustments are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders' equity.

|
Cash equivalents:
|
|
Cash equivalents include short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash with original maturities of three months or less.
|
|
f.
|
Short-term bank deposits:
|
|
Short-term bank deposits are deposits with maturities of more than three months and up to one year. The short-term bank deposits are in EURO, Norwegian Kroner ("NOK") and U.S. dollars and bear interest at an average rate of 2.29% and 0.3% as of December 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively. The short-term bank deposits are presented at their cost, including accrued interest.
|
|
As of December 31, 2013, the short-term bank deposits in the amount of up to $ 424 are restricted for a period of up to 6 months against bank guarantees provided to customers (see also Note 13b.)

Marketable securities:
|
|
The Company accounts for investments in marketable securities in accordance with ASC topic 320, "Debt and Equity Securities", ("ASC 320").
|
|
Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments in marketable securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such determinations at each balance sheet date.
|
|
Available for sale securities are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported in "accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" in shareholders' equity and in "total of comprehensive income (loss)" in consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). Realized gains and losses on sale of investments are included in "financial income, net" and are derived using the specific identification method for determining the cost of securities. The amortized cost of debt securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. Such amortization together with interest and dividends on securities are included in "financial income (expenses), net".

The Company periodically reviews its marketable securities for impairment. If the Company concludes that any of these investments are impaired, the Company determines whether such impairment is "other-than-temporary" as defined under ASC 320-10-35. The Company accounts for investments in marketable securities in accordance with, ASC 320-10-65-1, "Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments", that changed the impairment and presentation model for debt securities. Under the amended impairment model, other-than-temporary impairment loss is recognized in earnings if the entity has the intent to sell the debt security, or if it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. However, if an entity does not expect to sell a debt security, it still needs to evaluate expected cash flows to be received and determines if a credit loss exists. In the event of a credit loss, only the amount of impairment associated with the credit loss is recognized currently in earnings. During 2011 and 2012 no other-than-temporary impairments were recorded. During 2013 the Company recorded other-than-temporary impairment in the amount of $2,108. For more information, see note 3.

Inventories:
|
|
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Inventory write-downs are provided to cover risks arising from slow-moving items, technological obsolescence, excess inventories, discontinued products, and for market prices lower than cost, if any. The Company periodically evaluates the quantities on hand relative to historical and projected sales volume (which is determined based on an assumption of future demand and market conditions) and the age of the inventory. At the point of the loss recognition, a new lower cost basis for that inventory is established. In addition, if required the Company records a liability for firm non-cancelable and unconditional purchase commitments with contract manufacturers for quantities in excess of the Company's future demands forecast consistent with its valuation of excess and obsolete inventory.
|
|
Inventory includes costs of products delivered to customers and not recognized as cost of sales, as a result of revenue in the related arrangements not yet being recognized.
|
|
Cost is determined for all types of inventory using the moving average cost method plus indirect costs.

|
Impairment of long-lived assets:
|
|
The Company's and its subsidiaries' long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC topic 360," Property Plant and Equipment", ("ASC 360"), whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If an asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. During 2011and 2012, no impairment losses have been recognized. During 2013 the Company recognized impairment in the amount of $ 2,559.
|
|
k.
|
Income taxes:
|
|
The Company and its subsidiaries account for income taxes in accordance with ASC topic 740, "Income Taxes", ("ASC 740"). This Statement prescribes the use of the liability method whereby deferred tax asset and liability account balances are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for carry forward losses deferred taxes are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company and its subsidiaries provide a valuation allowance, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to their estimated realizable value if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. For more information see note 15f.

NOTE 2:-

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
|
|
The Company adopted ASC topic 740-10, "Income Taxes", ("ASC 740-10"). ASC 740-10 contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions accounted for in accordance with ASC 740. The first step is to evaluate the tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return by determining 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 to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company elected to classify interest expenses and penalties recognized in the financial statements as income taxes. For more information see note 15j.
|
|
l.
|
Goodwill and other intangible assets:
|
|
Goodwill and certain other purchased intangible assets have been recorded in the Company's financial statements as a result of acquisitions. Goodwill represents excess of the costs over the net tangible and intangible assets acquired of businesses acquired Under ASC topic 350, "Intangible - Goodwill and Other", ("ASC 350") according to which goodwill is not amortized. In addition, the costs of intangible assets that were purchased from others for use in research and development activities were recorded as assets to the extent that they have alternative future use.
|
|
ASC 350 requires goodwill to be tested for impairment at least annually or between annual tests in certain circumstances, and written down when impaired. The Company operates as one reporting unit. Therefore, goodwill is tested for impairment by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying value. The Company elects to perform an annual impairment test of goodwill as of October 1 of each year, or more frequently if impairment indicators are present.
|
|
Intangible assets that are considered to have definite useful life are amortized using the straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which range from 2 to 7 years. The carrying amount of these assets is reviewed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the future undiscounted cash flows the asset is expected to generate. If the asset is considered to be impaired, the amount of any impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the impaired asset. As of December 31, 2012 and 2013, no impairment losses have been recognized.

|
Revenue recognition:
|
|
The Company and its subsidiaries generate revenues from selling products to end users, distributors, system integrators and original equipment manufacturers ("OEM").
|
|
Revenues from product sales are recognized in accordance with ASC topic 605-10, "Revenue recognition" and with ASC 605-25 "Multiple-Element Arrangements", ("ASC 605"), when delivery has occurred, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the vendor's fee is fixed or determinable, no future obligation exists and collectability is probable.
|
|
When required, the Company complies with ASU 605-25, "Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements". This standard changes the requirements for establishing separate units of accounting in a multiple element arrangement by elimination of the residual method and requires the allocation of arrangement consideration to each deliverable to be based on using the relative selling price method.
|
|
Pursuant to the guidance of ASU 605-25, when a sales arrangement contains multiple elements, such as equipment and services, the Company allocates revenues to each element based on a selling price hierarchy. The selling price for a deliverable is based on its vendor specific objective evidence (''VSOE'') if available, third party evidence (''TPE'') if VSOE is not available, or estimated selling price (''ESP'') if neither VSOE nor TPE is available. In multiple element arrangements, revenues are allocated to each separate unit of accounting for each of the deliverables based on the aforementioned selling price hierarchy.
|
|
The Company considers the sale of equipment and its installation to be two separate units of accounting in the arrangement in which the installation is not essential to the functionality of the equipment, the equipment has value to the customer on a standalone basis and whenever the arrangement does not include a general right of return relative to the delivered item or delivery or performance of the undelivered item is considered probable and substantially in the control of the Company. In such arrangement, revenues from the sale of equipment are recognized upon delivery, if all other revenue recognition criteria are met and the installation revenues are deferred to the period in which such installation occurs (but not less than the amount contingent upon completion of installation, if any) using relative selling prices of each of the deliverables based on the aforementioned selling price hierarchy.
|
|
The Company determines the selling price in its multiple-element arrangements by reviewing historical transactions, and considering internal factors including, but not limited to, pricing practices including discounting, margin objectives, and competition. The determination of estimated selling price ("ESP") is made through consultation with management, taking into consideration the pricing model and strategy.
|
NOTE 2:-
|
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
|
|
When sale arrangements include a customer acceptance provision, revenue is recognized when the Company has demonstrated that the criteria specified in the acceptance provision have been satisfied or as the acceptance provision has lapsed and deemed to be attained.
|
|
To assess the probability of collection for revenue recognition purposes, the Company analyzes historical collection experience, current economic trends and the financial position of its customers. On the basis of these criterions, the Company concludes whether revenue recognition should be deferred and recognized on a cash basis.
|
|
When applicable, the Company records a provision for estimated sale returns and stock rotation granted to customers on products in the same period the related revenues are recorded in accordance with ASC 605. These estimates are based on historical sales returns, stock rotations and other known factors. Such provisions are immaterial as of December 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively.
|
|
Deferred revenue includes unearned amounts received in its arrangements, and amounts received from customers but not recognized as revenues due to the fact that these transactions did not meet the revenue recognition criteria.
|
|
n.
|
Research and development expenses, net:
|
|
Research and development expenses, net are charged to the statement of Operations as incurred. Grants received from the Government of Israel through the Office of the Chief Scientist are recognized at the time the Company is entitled to such grants, on the basis of the research and development costs incurred. Such grants are included as a deduction of research and development costs. In 2013 the Company received a new approval for a grant in the amount of $660. The grant requires the Company to comply with the requirements of the Israeli Research and Development Law.
|
|
o.
|
Warranty costs:
|
|
The Company generally offers a standard limited warranty, including parts and labor for an average period of 24 months for its products. The Company estimates the costs that may be incurred under its basic limited warranty and records a liability in the amount of such costs at the time product revenue is recognized. Factors that affect the Company's warranty liability include the number of installed units, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims, and cost per claim. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liability and adjusts the amounts as necessary. The Company recorded income from decrease of warranty provision for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013 in the amount of $ 666, $ 1,753 and $ 1,816, respectively. As of December 31, 2012 and 2013, the warranty provision was $ 4,801 and $ 2,984, respectively.

Derivative instruments:
|
|
The Company has instituted a foreign currency cash flow hedging program using foreign currency forward contracts ("derivative instruments") in order to hedge the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows resulting from changes in related foreign currency exchange rates. These transactions are designated as cash flow hedges, as defined under ASC topic 815, "Derivatives and Hedging".
|
|
ASC 815 requires companies to recognize all of their derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the financial statements at fair value. The Company measured the fair value of the contracts in accordance with ASC topic 820, "Fair value Measurement and Disclosures" at level 2 (see also Note 2W). The accounting for changes in the fair value (i.e., gains or losses) 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.
For those derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, a company must designate the hedging instrument, based upon the exposure being hedged, as a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation.
|
|
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge (i.e., hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk), the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss), net of taxes and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The non-effective portion of the derivative's change in fair value is recognized in earnings.
|
|
The Company's cash flow hedging program is to hedge against the risk of overall changes in cash flows resulting from forecasted foreign currency salary payments during the year. The Company hedges portions of its forecasted expenses denominated in NIS and NOK with forward exchange contracts. These forward exchange contracts are designated as cash flow hedges, as defined by ASC 815 and Derivative Implementation Group No. G20, "Cash Flow Hedges: Assessing and Measuring the Effectiveness of a Purchased option Used in a Cash Flow Hedge" ("DIG 20") and are all effective.

q.
|
Concentrations of credit risk:
|
|
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company and its subsidiaries to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, short-term bank deposits, marketable securities, trade receivables and trade payables.
|
NOTE 2:-
|
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
|
|
The majority of the Company's cash and cash equivalents and short-term bank deposits are invested in U.S. dollar instruments with major banks worldwide. Such cash and cash equivalents and deposits in the United States may be in excess of insured limits and are not insured in other jurisdictions. Generally, these cash and cash equivalents and deposits may be redeemed upon demand and, therefore, bear minimal risk. Management believes that the financial institutions that hold the Company's and its subsidiaries' investments are institutions with high credit standing, and accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to these investments.
|
|
The Company's marketable securities consist of securities issued by debentures of Argentinean and Venezuelan government. As of December 31, 2013, all of the Company’s marketable securities portfolio was invested in debt securities of governmental institutions. From geographic prospective, 42% of the Company’s marketable securities portfolio was invested in debt securities of Venezuelan issuers and 58% was invested in debt securities of Argentinian issuers. Subsequent to the Balance sheet date, the Company sold its debt securities in Argentina. The Company's investment policy limits the amount the Company may invest in any one type of investment or issuer, thereby reducing credit risk concentrations.

The Company's trade receivables are geographically diversified and derived from sales to customers mainly in the Europe, Latin America and Asia. The Company and its subsidiaries generally do not require collateral; however, in certain circumstances, the
|
|
Company and its subsidiaries may require letters of credit, additional guarantees or advance payments. The Company and its subsidiaries perform ongoing credit evaluations of their customers and insure certain trade receivables under credit insurance policies.

Allowance for doubtful debt:
|
|
An allowance for doubtful accounts is determined with respect to specific receivables, of which the collection may be doubtful. The Company charges off receivables when they are deemed uncollectible.
|
|
Allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to $ 5,435 and $ 6,519 as of December 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively.
|
|
Total expenses for doubtful debt during 2011, 2012 and 2013 amounted to $ 212, $ 1,727 and $ 1,255, respectively. Total write offs were immaterial in 2011, 2012 and 2013.

Transfers of financial assets:
|
|
ASC 860 "Transfers and Servicing", ("ASC 860"), establishes a standard for determining when a transfer of financial assets should be accounted for as a sale. The Company's arrangements are such that the underlying conditions are met for the transfer of financial assets to qualify for accounting as a sale. The transfers of financial assets are typically performed by the factoring of receivables to three Israeli financial institutions.

|
|
As of December 31, 2012 and 2013, the Company sold trade receivables to several different financial institutions in a total amount of $ 15,126 and $ 19,730, respectively. Control and risk of those trade receivables were fully transferred in accordance with ASC 860.
|
|
The agreements, pursuant to which the Company sells its trade receivables, are structured such that the Company (i) transfers the proprietary rights in the receivable from the Company to the financial institution; (ii) legally isolates the receivable from the Company's other assets, and presumptively puts the receivable beyond the lawful reach of the Company and its creditors, even in bankruptcy or other receivership; (iii) confers on the financial institution the right to pledge or exchange the receivable; and (iv) eliminates the Company's effective control over the receivable, in the sense that the Company is not entitled and shall not be obligated to repurchase the receivable other than in case of failure by the Company to fulfill its commercial obligation.
|

|
Severance pay:
|
|
The Company's severance pay liability for its Israeli employees is calculated pursuant to Israel's Severance Pay Law based on the most recent salary of the employees multiplied by the number of years of employment, as of the balance sheet date. Employees are entitled to one month's salary for each year of employment or a portion thereof. The Company's liability for all of its employees in Israel is fully covered by monthly deposits with pension funds, insurance policies and an accrual. The value of the funds deposited into pension funds and insurance policies is recorded as an asset - severance pay fund - in the Company's balance sheet.
|
|
The severance pay fund includes the deposited funds and accumulated adjustments to the Israeli Consumer Price Index up to the balance sheet date. The deposited funds may be withdrawn only upon the fulfillment of the obligation pursuant to Israel's Severance Pay Law or labor agreements. The value of the deposited funds in insurance policies, is based on the cash surrendered value of these policies, and includes profits / losses.
|
|
Starting April 2009, the Company's agreements with new employees in Israel are under section 14 of the Severance Pay Law -1963. The Company's contributions for severance pay shall replace its severance obligation, no additional calculations shall be conducted between the parties regarding the matter of severance pay and no additional payments shall be made by the Company to the employee. Further, the related obligation and amounts deposited on behalf of such obligation are not stated on the balance sheet, as the Company is legally released from obligation to employees once the deposit amounts have been paid.
|
|
Severance expense for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, amounted to approximately $ 1,637, $ 1,489 and $ 2,588, respectively.

Accounting for stock-based compensation:
|
|
ASC topic 718, "Compensation - Stock Compensation", ("ASC 718"), requires companies to estimate the fair value of equity-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods in the Company's consolidated statements of operations.
|
|
The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted under ASC 718 using the binomial model with the following weighted-average assumptions for 2011, 2012 and 2013:

Early exercise multiple
|
1.85-2.60
|

|

|
|
Risk-free interest rates are based on the yield from U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with a term equivalent to the contractual life of the options; volatility of price of the Company's shares based upon actual historical stock price movements. The Early exercise factor is representing the value of the underlying stock as a multiple of the exercise price of the option which, if achieved, results in exercise of the option.
|
|
Early exercise multiple is based on actual historical exercise activity. The expected term of the options granted is derived from output of the option valuation model and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding.
|
|
The Company recognizes compensation expense using the accelerated method for all awards ultimately expected to vest. Estimated forfeitures are based on historical pre-vesting forfeitures and on management's estimates. ASC topic 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

Fair value of financial instruments:
|
|
The Company applies ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures". Under this standard, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the "exit price") in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
|
|
In determining fair value, the Company uses various valuation approaches. ASC 820 establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company's assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
|
|
The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the inputs as follows:
|
|
Level 1 -
|
Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not applied to Level 1 instruments. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these products does not entail a significant degree of judgment.
|
|
Level 2 -
|
Valuations based on one or more quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
|
|
Level 3 -
|
Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
|
|
The availability of observable inputs can vary from investment to investment and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of investment, the liquidity of markets and other characteristics particular to the transaction. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment and the investments are categorized as Level 3. (See also note 18).
|
NOTE 2:-
|
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
|
|
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company and its subsidiaries in estimating their fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
|
|
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, short-term bank deposits, trade receivables, other accounts receivable, trade payables, and other accounts payable approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities of such instruments.
|
|
The marketable securities fair value, based on quoted market prices, classified within Level 1 (see also note 3).
|
|
The derivative instruments are classified within Level 2 as the valuation inputs are based on quoted prices and market observable data of similar instruments.

|

|
Restructuring costs:
|
|
The Company accounts for restructuring activities in accordance to ASC topic 420, "Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations" and ASC 712 "Compensation-Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits" ("ASC 712"), which requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized and measured, initially at fair value, only when the liability is incurred and for contractual postemployment benefits under ASC 712 when it is probable that the employees will be entitled to the benefits, the amount is estimable.
|
|
y.
|
Comprehensive income:
|
|
The Company accounts for comprehensive income in accordance with ASC topic 220, "Comprehensive Income". This statement establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general purpose financial statements. Comprehensive income generally represents all changes in stockholders' equity during the period except those resulting from investments by, or distributions to, stockholders.
|
|
In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2013-02, Topic 350 - Comprehensive Income ("ASU 2013-02"), which amends Topic 220 to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income to the respective line items in net income.

ASU 2013-11 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company intends to adopt this standard prospectively in the first quarter of 2014 and the adoption will not result in a change to the tax provision. The Company does not expect a significant impact to its presentation of long-term taxes payable or its deferred tax assets.

LOAN AND CREDIT LINES
|
|
In 2011 the Company entered into a loan agreement with Bank Hapoalim Ltd. (the "Loan Agreement") for a loan in the principal amount of $ 35,000 (the “Loan”).
|
|
The Loan Agreement provides that the principal amount of $ 35,000 bear effective interest at a rate of Libor + 3.15%, which Libor is updated every three months. As of December 31, 2013 the accrued interest is $ 68 and is recorded as part of the accrued expenses. The principal amount is to be repaid in 17 quarterly installments from February 19, 2012, through February 19, 2016 and the interest is to be paid in quarterly payments starting as of February 19, 2011.
|
|
The loan is secured by a floating charge over all Company assets as well as several customary fixed charges on specific assets and subject to certain financial covenants, as further described below.
|
NOTE 10:-

LOAN AND CREDIT LINES (Cont.)
|
|
In March 2013, the Company was provided with a Credit Facility by four financial institutions. Such agreement provides the Company with revolving credit facilities, under which a sum of up to $ 40,200 in the form of bank guarantees and $ 73,500 in the form of loans shall be available. The new agreement replaced all of the Company’s previously existing credit facilities, including the loan agreement (with respect to the Loan provides the same interest and repayment installments set forth in the Loan Agreement). Each portion of the Credit Facility will be operated by its furnishing financial institution.
|
|
Borrowings and repayments shall be made directly with the relevant financial institution. Any amounts repaid during the term of the Credit Facility may be re-borrowed up to the amount available under the loan segment of the Credit Facility. In the framework of the Credit Facility, the Company undertook certain financial and other covenants. The Credit Facility shall terminate, and all borrowings shall be repaid, upon March 14, 2016. Repayment may be accelerated by the financial institutions in certain events of default including in insolvency events, failure to comply with financial covenants or an event in which a current or future shareholder acquires control (as defined under the Israel Securities Law) of the Company. As of December 31, 2013, the Company is in compliance with the financial covenants.
|
|
As of December 31, 2013 the Company utilized $ 57,226 out of $ 73,500 of available credit lines from several banks. The credit lines carry interest rates of LIBOR+3.21% to LABOR+3.4%.
|
|
During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company announced that it will realign its operations, reduce head count and undertake other cost reduction measures in order to improve profitability. As a result, the Company has amended its Credit Facility arrangements to adjust the financial covenants and applicable interest rates to better reflect new operational results of the Company following the cost reduction plan. The amendment shall be applied until October 1, 2014. Subsequently, the original covenants will be restored. In April 2014, the Company has further amended its credit facilities - see note 20b for additional information.

PENSION LIABILITIES, NET

|
The Norwegian subsidiary Ceragon Networks AS (formerly "Nera Networks AS") has both defined benefit scheme (overfunded and underfunded) and defined contribution schemes.
|
|
Defined contribution - overfunded - Under the defined contributions scheme Ceragon Networks AS makes a payment to the insurance company who administer the fund on behalf of the employee. Ceragon Networks AS has no liabilities relating to such schemes after the payment to the insurance company. As of December 31, 2013 almost all active employees are in this scheme. The contribution and the corresponding social security taxes are recognized as payroll expenses in the period to which the employee's services are rendered. The defined pension contribution schemes meet the requirements of the law on compulsory occupational pension.
|
|
Defined benefit scheme - overfunded - Defined benefit scheme was stopped for admission from December 1, 2007, and persons that were employed after that date were automatically entered into the defined contribution scheme. The schemes give right to defined future benefits. These are mainly dependent on the number of qualifying employment years, salary level at pension age, and the amount of benefits from the national insurance scheme. The commitment related to the pension scheme is covered through an insurance company. As of December 31, 2013 the pension scheme has 142 members out of which 136 are retired. The fair value of plan assets exceeds the defined benefit obligation.
|
|
Defined benefit scheme - underfunded - The underfunded defined benefit scheme mainly consists of a pension agreement for former executives and of early retirement pensions (the "AFP"). The Pension scheme for former executives is stopped for admission. The scheme gives right to defined future benefits. These are mainly dependent on the number of qualifying employment years, salary level at pension age, and the amount of benefits from the national insurance scheme.
|
|
AFP-scheme - in force from 1 January 2011, the AFP-scheme is a defined benefit multi-enterprise scheme, but is recognized in the accounts as a defined contribution scheme until reliable and sufficient information is available for the group to recognize its proportional share of pension cost, pension liability and pension funds in the scheme. Ceragon Networks AS's liabilities are therefore not recognized as liability in the balance sheet.
|
|
The difference between the liability (the Projected Benefit Obligation or PBO as defined in ASC No. 715 "Compensation - Retirement Benefits" ("ASC 715") and the market value of the plan assets is accounted for on the financial statements of the Company.
|
|
The liabilities in respect of Ceragon Networks AS's pension plans have been recalculated based on updated employee numbers and asset values at December 31, 2013. These plans together represent 100% of the PBO of the entire group. The value for the other liabilities has been projected from the results of the valuation on the date of Acquisition and updated for changes in discount rate.

The amounts reported for net periodic pension costs and the respective benefit obligation amounts are dependent upon the actuarial assumptions used. The Company reviews historical trends, future expectations, current market conditions and external data to determine the assumptions. The discount rate is determined considering the yield of government bonds. For purposes of calculating the 2013 net periodic benefit cost and the benefit obligation, the Company used a discount rate of 4.1 %. The rate of compensation increase is determined by the Company, based upon its long-term plans for such increases.

TAXES ON INCOME
|
|
a.
|
Tax benefits under the Law for the Encouragement of Industry (Taxes), 1969:
|
|
The Company currently qualifies as an "industrial company" under the above law and, as such, is entitled to certain tax benefits, mainly accelerated depreciation of machinery and equipment, and amortization of costs relating to know-how and patents over eight years, as a deduction for tax purposes.
|
|
b.
|
Corporate tax structure:
|
|
Taxable income of Israeli company is subject to tax at the rate of 25% in 2013 and 26.5% in 2014 and onwards.
|
|
c.
|
Measurement of taxable income:
|
|
The Company has elected to file its tax return under the Israeli Income Tax Regulations 1986 (Principles Regarding the Management of Books of Account of Foreign Invested Companies and Certain Partnerships and the Determination of Their Taxable Income). Accordingly, starting tax year 2003, results of operations in Israel are measured in terms of earnings in U.S. dollar.
|
|
d.
|
Tax benefits under the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959 (the "Law"):
|
|
According to the Law, the Company is entitled to various tax benefits by virtue of the "approved enterprise" and/or "beneficiary enterprise" status granted to part of their enterprises, as implied by this Law. The principal benefits by virtue of the Law are:
|
|
According to the provisions of the Law, the Company has chosen to enjoy the "Alternative" track. Under this track, the Company is tax exempt in the first two years of the benefit period and subject to tax at the reduced rate of 10%-25% for the remaining benefit period.
|
NOTE 15:-
|
TAXES ON INCOME (Cont.)
|
|
For receiving the benefits under the alternative track, there is a minimum qualifying investment. This condition requires an investment in the acquisition of productive assets such as machinery and equipment which must be carried out within three years. The minimum qualifying investment required for setting up a plant is NIS 300 thousand. As for plant expansions, the minimum qualifying investment is the higher of NIS 300 thousand and an amount equivalent to the "qualifying percentage" of the value of the productive assets. Productive assets that are used by the plant but not owned by it will also be viewed as productive assets. The Company was eligible under the terms of minimum qualifying investment and elected 2006 and 2009 as its "years of election".
|
|
The qualifying percentage of the value of the productive assets is as follows:
|
The value of productive
assets before the expansion
(NIS in millions)
|
The new proportion that the
required investment bears to the
value of productive assets
|
||
Up to NIS 140
|
12%
|
||
NIS 140 - NIS 500
|
7%
|
||
More than NIS 500
|
5%
|
|
The income qualifying for tax benefits under the alternative track is the taxable income of a company that has met certain conditions as determined by the Law ("a beneficiary company"), and which is derived from an industrial enterprise. The Law specifies the types of qualifying income that is entitled to tax benefits under the alternative track with respect of an industrial enterprise, whereby income from an industrial enterprise includes, among others, revenues from the production and development of software products and revenues from industrial research and development activities performed for a foreign resident (and approved by the Head of the Administration of Industrial Research and Development).
|
|
The benefit period starts with the first year the beneficiary enterprise earns taxable income, provided that 14 years have not passed since the approval was granted and 12 years have not passed since the enterprise began operating. In respect of expansion programs pursuant to Amendment No. 60 to the Law, the benefit period starts at the later of the year elected and the first year the Company earns taxable income provided that 12 years have not passed since the beginning of the year of election. The respective benefit period has not yet begun.
|
|
The above benefits are conditional upon the fulfillment of the conditions stipulated by the Law, regulations published thereunder and the letters of approval for the investments in the approved enterprises, as above. Non-compliance with the conditions may cancel all or part of the benefits and refund of the amount of the benefits, including interest. The management believes that the Company is meeting the aforementioned conditions.
|
NOTE 15:-
|
TAXES ON INCOME (Cont.)
|
|
The Company is also a "foreign investors' company", as defined by the Capital Investments Law, and, as such, is entitled to a 10-year period of benefits and may be entitled to reduced tax rates of between 10% to 25% (depending on the percentage of foreign ownership in each tax year).
|
|
The Company has three capital investment programs that have been granted approved enterprise status, under the Law and two programs under beneficiary enterprise status pursuant to the Amended Legislation.
|
|
Income from sources other than the "Approved Enterprise" and "Beneficiary Enterprise" during the benefit period will be subject to the tax at the regular tax rate.
|
|
Amendments to the Law:
|
|
Effective January 1, 2011, the “Knesset” (Israeli Parliament) enacted the Law for Economic Policy for 2011 and 2012 (Amended Legislation), and among other things, amended the Law, ("the Amendment"). According to the Amendment, the benefit tracks in the Investment Law were modified and a flat tax rate applies to the Company's entire preferred income. The Company will be able to opt to apply (the waiver is non-recourse) the Amendment and from then on it will be subject to the amended tax rates as follows: 2011 and 2012 - 15%, 2013 and 2014 - 12.5% and in 2015 and thereafter - 12%.

|
In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized in each tax jurisdiction. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences are deductible and net operating losses are utilized. Based on consideration of these factors, the Company recorded a valuation allowance amounting $ 72,588 and $ 81,665 at December 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively.
