 PROXY STATEMENT
ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
 
To be held on December 28, 2006
 
This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies on behalf of the Board of Directors of Xfone, Inc. (the “Company”) for use at the Company's Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on December 28, 2006, and at any postponements or adjournment thereof (the “Meeting”). Further, solicitation of proxies may be made personally, or by telephone, telegraph or E-mail, by regularly employed officers and other employees of the Company, who will receive no additional compensation for such. The cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by the Company which may enlist the assistance, and reimburse the reasonable expenses, of banks and brokerage houses in the additional solicitation of proxies and proxy authorizations, particularly from their customers whose stock is not registered in the owner's name, but in the name of such banks or brokerage houses.
 
Only Shareholders of record at the close of business on December 1, 2006 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to vote at the Meeting. As of December 1, 2006, there were issued and outstanding 11,253,817 shares of the Company's common stock (the “Common Stock”). Each outstanding share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote on all matters properly coming before the Meeting. All properly executed, unrevoked proxies on the enclosed form of proxy card that are received in time will be voted in accordance with the Shareholder's directions and, unless contrary directions are given, will be voted for the proposals described below (the “Proposals”). Anyone giving a proxy card may revoke it at any time before it is exercised by giving the Board of Directors of the Company written notice of the revocation, by submitting a proxy card bearing a later date or by attending the Meeting and voting in person.
 
The presence in person or by properly executed proxies of holders representing fifty point one percent (50.1%) of the issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock entitled to vote is necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Meeting. Votes cast by proxy or in person at the Meeting will be tabulated by the inspector of elections appointed for the Meeting, who will determine whether or not a quorum is present. Shares of Common Stock represented by proxies that are marked “abstain” will be included in the determination of the number of shares present and voting for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of business. Abstentions are not counted as voted either for or against a Proposal. Brokers holding shares of Common Stock for beneficial owners in “street name” must vote those shares according to specific instructions they receive from the owners. However, brokers have discretionary authority to vote on “routine” matters. Absent specific instructions from the beneficial owners in the case of “non-routine” matters, the brokers may not vote the shares. “Broker non-votes” result when brokers are precluded from exercising their discretion on certain types of proposals. Shares that are voted by brokers on some but not all of the matters will be treated as shares present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum on all matters, but will not be treated as shares entitled to vote at the Meeting on those matters as to which instructions to vote are not provided by the owner.
 
The Board of Directors of the Company has adopted and approved each of the Proposals set forth herein and recommends that the Company's Shareholders vote “FOR” each of the Proposals.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
 
Only stockholders of record at the close of business on December 1, 2006 are entitled to vote at the Meeting. The total number of shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Company, issued and outstanding as of December 1, 2006, was 11,253,817 shares. Each such share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote upon all matters to be acted upon at the Meeting. There are no cumulative voting rights. The holders of fifty point one percent (50.1%) of the outstanding votes shall constitute a quorum. A quorum is necessary to hold a valid meeting. In accordance with the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws, and applicable law, the election of directors shall be by a plurality of the votes cast and the remaining Proposals shall be by a majority of the votes cast.
 
Abstentions and broker non-votes are not counted as votes cast in the election of directors and will have no effect on the election of directors except to the extent that they affect the total votes received by a candidate. On matters other than the election of directors, abstentions will be counted as votes cast, which will have the same effect as a negative vote on the matter. A broker non-vote occurs when a broker votes on some matter on the proxy card but not on others because the broker does not have the authority to do so.
 
The following tables sets forth, as of December 1, 2006, certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common stock by each stockholder known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common stock and by each of our current directors and executive officers. Each person has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares of common stock, except as otherwise indicated. Information relating to beneficial ownership of common stock by our principal stockholders and management is based upon information furnished by each person using “beneficial ownership” concepts under the rules of the Commission. Under these rules, a person is deemed to be a beneficial owner of a security if that person has or shares voting power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of the security, or investment power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of the security. The person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any security of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. Under the Commission rules, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities, and a person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities as to which he or she may not have any pecuniary beneficial interest. We are unaware of any contract or arrangement which could result in a change in control of our company.
 
The following table assumes, based on our stock records, that there are 11,253,817 shares issued and outstanding as of December 1, 2006.

AURACALL LIMITED
 
Our interest in Auracall through Swiftnet
 
On October 16, 2001, our wholly owned UK based subsidiary, Swiftnet Limited entered into an agreement titled “Formation of Newco” (the “Newco Agreement”). The Newco Agreement provided that Dr. Nissim Levy and Swiftnet will establish a company, Newco (which later became Auracall Limited), for the purpose of developing telecommunication business based on non-geographic numbers. In May 2002, Swiftnet exercised its option pursuant to the Newco Agreement to receive 50% of the shares of Auracall, and both Swiftnet and Dr. Levy agreed to give 5% of Auracall’s shares to Auracall’s Managing Director, Mr. Dan Kirschner. Therefore, the interest in Auracall was as follows: Swiftnet - 47.5%, Dr. Levy - 47.5%, and Mr. Kirschner - 5%. In practice, Dr. Levy and Swiftnet provided a loan to Auracall to the level of about £45,000 and £15,000, respectively. On August 21, 2003, Swiftnet and Mr. Kirschner entered into an agreement (the “August 21, 2003 Agreement”) which provided that Swiftnet will not object if Dr. Levy sells all of his interest in Auracall to Mr. Kirschner once the Newco Agreement provisions concerning the payout of profits to cover debt/investments and other conditions are fulfilled. Swiftnet and Mr. Kirschner further agreed to certain conditions which were affirmed by the Newco Agreement. The August 21, 2003 Agreement further provided that once the Newco Agreement provisions concerning the payout of profits to cover debt/investments are fulfilled, Mr. Kirschner’s salary will be reinstated to £50,000 and Swiftnet will receive £24,000 as management/consultancy fees. The August 21, 2003 Agreement further provided that Auracall will issue to Mr. Kirschner, as a bonus, further shares from treasury to the level that Mr. Kirschner will hold 67.5% of Auracall shares and Swiftnet will hold only 32.5% of Auracall shares. This bonus was subject to certain pre-conditions. The August 21, 2003 Agreement provided that it will take effect only after the arrangement between Dr. Levy and Mr. Kirschner will be finalized. In January 2004, Dr. Levy sold all of his interest in Auracall to Mr. Kirschner. Therefore, Mr. Kirschner owned 52.5% of Auracall shares and Swiftnet owned 47.5% of Auracall shares. On January 1, 2006, Auracall issued to Mr. Kirschner further shares from treasury to the level that Swiftnet was diluted from 47.5% to 32.5% holdings of Auracall. This issuance was a bonus in accordance with the August 21, 2003 Agreement.
 
September 27, 2006 Shareholders Loan Agreement

On September 27, 2006, a Shareholders Loan Agreement was entered by and between Auracall Limited, an affiliated company, Swiftnet Limited, our wholly owned U.K. subsidiary and the Managing Director of Auracall who holds 67.5% of Auracall.

Nissenson Employment Agreement

This agreement does not expire. Under the terms of the agreement, Swiftnet employed Mr. Nissenson to provide business development and sales and marketing services, at a base rate of 1000 pounds (UK) per month (approximately $1,433 US).

Swiftnet may only cancel these options if : (1) Mr. Nissenson no longer works with Swiftnet; or (2) if within twelve months of Mr. Nissenson’s employment with the company, Swiftnet and any other companies that may buy or merge into Swiftnet in the future, do not reach average revenues (over a three consecutive month period) of at least 120,000 pounds (UK). Because the average sales per month have exceeded 120,000 pounds within a twelve-month period of Mr. Nissenson’s employment, Swiftnet cannot cancel the options.

OVERVIEW

Xfone, Inc. was incorporated in Nevada, U.S.A. in September 2000.

On October 4, 2000, we acquired Swiftnet Limited which had a business plan to provide comprehensive telecommunication services and products by integrating new and old products, services and ideas through one website. Swiftnet was incorporated in 1990 under the laws of the United Kingdom. Until 1999, the main revenues for Swiftnet were derived from messaging and fax broadcast services. During 2000, Swiftnet shifted its business focus and its focus has remained on telephony voice services offering comprehensive support packages to resellers and new services. Utilizing automation and proprietary software packages, Swiftnet's strategy is to grow without the need for heavy investments and with lower expenses for operations and registration of new customers.

On April 15, 2004, we established an Israel based subsidiary, Xfone Communication Ltd. (which changed its name to Xfone 018 Ltd. in March 2005). On July 4, 2004, the Ministry of Communications of the State of Israel granted Xfone 018 a license to provide international telecom services in Israel. We started providing services in Israel through Xfone 018 as of mid-December 2004. Headquartered in Petach Tikva, Israel, Xfone 018 Ltd. is a telecommunications service provider that owns and operates its own facilities-based telecommunications switching system.

On August 18, 2005, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger to acquire I-55 Internet Services, Inc., a Louisiana corporation (the “I-55 Internet Merger Agreement”). On September 13, 2005, we filed a Form 8-K discussing the impact of Hurricane Katrina on the transaction contemplated by the I-55 Internet Merger Agreement. On October 10, 2005, we entered into a First Amendment to the Merger Agreement, by and among I-55 Internet Services, us, Xfone USA, Inc., our wholly-owned United States subsidiary and Hunter McAllister and Brian Acosta, key employees of I-55 Internet Services, in order to induce us and Xfone USA not to terminate the I-55 Internet Merger Agreement due to the material adverse effect that Hurricane Katrina has had on the assets and business of I-55 Internet Services. As part of the amendment and since, at that time, the merger of I-55 Internet Services with and into Xfone USA had not been consummated yet, in the interim, the parties agreed and entered into on October 11, 2005 a Management Agreement (the "I-55 Internet Management Agreement") that provided that I-55 Internet Services hired and appointed Xfone USA as manager to be responsible for the operation and management of all of I-55 Internet Services business operations, including among other things personnel, accounting, contracts, policies and budget. In consideration of the management services provided under the I-55 Internet Management Agreement, I-55 Internet Services assigned and transferred to Xfone USA all revenues generated and expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business during the term of the I-55 Internet Management Agreement.

I-55 Internet Services provided Internet access and related services, such as installation of various networking equipment, website design and other Internet access installation services, throughout the Southeastern United States to individuals and businesses located predominantly in rural markets in Louisiana and Mississippi. As a result of the merger with and into Xfone USA, these services are now available in expanded markets throughout Louisiana and Mississippi. The Internet service offerings include dial-up, DSL, high speed dedicated Internet access, web services, email, the World Wide Web, Internet relay chat, file transfer protocol and Usenet news access to both residential and business customers.

On August 26, 2005, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger to acquire I-55 Telecommunications, LLC, a Louisiana corporation (the “I-55 Telecom Merger Agreement”). On September 13, 2005, we filed a Form 8-K discussing the impact of Hurricane Katrina on the transaction contemplated by the I-55 Telecom Merger Agreement. In order to demonstrate their intention to continue on with the transaction contemplated by the I-55 Telecom Merger Agreement, the parties entered into on October 12, 2005 a Management Agreement (the “I-55 Telecom Management Agreement”) that provided that I-55 Telecommunications hired and appointed Xfone USA as manager to be responsible for the operation and management of all of I-55 Telecommunications’ business operations. In consideration of the management services provided under the I-55 Telecom Management Agreement, I-55 Telecommunications assigned and transferred to Xfone USA all revenues generated and expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business during the term of the I-55 Telecom Management Agreement. The term of the I-55 Telecom Management Agreement commenced on October 12, 2005 and continued until the consummation of the merger on March 31, 2006.

In conjunction with the consummation of the merger and in exchange for all of the capital stock of I-55 Telecommunications, we issued a total of 223,702 shares of our common stock valued at $671,687 and 79,029 warrants exercisable into shares of our common stock, with an exercise price of $3.38, valued based on the Black Scholes option-pricing model.

In conjunction with certain Agreements to Purchase Promissory Notes dated October 31, 2005 / February 3, 2006 with Randall Wade James Tricou; Rene Tricou - Tricou Construction; Rene Tricou - Bon Aire Estates; Rene Tricou - Bon Aire Utility; and Danny Acosta, creditors of I-55 Telecommunications (the "Creditors"), and upon the consummation of the merger on March 31, 2006, we issued to the Creditors an aggregate of 163,933 restricted shares of common stock and an aggregate of 81,968 warrants, exercisable at $3.38 per share, at a total value of $492,220, in return for retiring their individual loans with I-55 Telecommunications. 

I-55 Telecommunications provided voice, data and related services throughout the Louisiana and Mississippi area to both individuals and businesses. Prior to the merger with and into Xfone USA, I-55 Telecommunications was a licensed facility based CLEC in Louisiana and Mississippi with a next generation class 5 switching solution. I-55 Telecommunications provided a complete packages of local and long distance services to residential and business customers across both states. As a result of the merger, Xfone USA has expanded its On-Net (facilities) service area, through I-55 Telecommunications, into New Orleans, Louisiana and surrounding areas, including Hammond, Louisiana. Xfone USA is expanding its sales offices to include New Orleans, in an effort to continue revenue growth and increase market share. Regulations affecting the telecommunications industry began in March 2006; conversions of all circuits affected were completed in April 2006. The competition in secondary markets, such as Jackson, Mississippi, New Orleans and Baton Rouge, Louisiana, as opposed to Tier 1 markets such as Atlanta, Georgia, is also rapidly declining due to the removal of UNE-P and the decline in the competitive local exchange providers that had been dependent on UNE-P as their only source for providing competitive local telephone services in those markets. This provides for a unique opportunity for Xfone USA to gain market share, by utilizing its existing network and to expand its facilities into these areas becoming a primary alternative to the monopoly Incumbent Local Exchange Company.

On September 27, 2005, a Securities Purchase Agreement was entered for a $2,000,000 financial transaction by and among us, Xfone USA, Inc., eXpeTel Communications, Inc., Gulf Coast Utilities, Inc. and Laurus Master Fund, Ltd.

The Term Note has a 3 year term, bears interest at a rate equal to prime plus 1.5% per annum, and is convertible, under certain conditions, into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion price equal to $3.48 per share. In conjunction with the financial transaction, we issued to Laurus Master Fund 157,500 warrants which are exercisable at $3.80 per share for a period of five years. The closing of the financial transaction was on September 28, 2005. The conversion of the Term Note will result in dilution in the percentage of common stock owned by the company's existing shareholders, although the conversion price was in excess of the net tangible book value per share and accordingly was not economically dilutive.

The increase in revenues is primarily attributable to our United States subsidiary, Xfone USA, Inc. which revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased 127% to £5,950,394 ($11,202,569) from £2,625,530 ($4,616,995) for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. This increase is mainly due to the acquisitions of I-55 Internet Services, Inc. and I-55 Telecommunications, LLC.
 
Revenues in the United Kingdom decreased 3% to £6,134,420 ($11,549,027) for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to £6,304,092 ($11,085,747) for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. This decrease is mainly due to lower sales of Story Telecom in the nine months ended September 30, 2006, offset by the acquisition of Equitalk.co.uk Limited that was consummated on July 3, 2006 and generated £237,298 ($446,751) during the third quarter of 2006.
 
Revenues in the United States increased 127% to £5,950,394 ($11,202,569) for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to £2,625,530 ($4,616,995) for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. This increase is mainly due to the acquisitions of I-55 Internet Services and I-55 Telecommunications.

Revenues in Israel increased 111% to £2,069,716 ($3,896,572) for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to £982,893 ($1,728,417) for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. This is mainly due to the growth of our share in the Israeli market.

Our primary geographic markets are the United Kingdom, the United States and Israel.  However, we serve customers across Europe, Asia, North America, South America, Australia and Africa.

Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues consists primarily of traffic time purchased from telephone companies and other related charges. Cost of revenues increased 30% to £8,683,975 ($16,348,972) for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, from £6,662,272 ($11,715,605) for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, representing 61% and 67% of the total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005 respectively. This decrease in the percentage of revenues is due to a decrease in revenues derived from our affiliated entity, Story Telecom, primarily related to calling cards services which generate a higher cost of revenues, due to the increase in credit provision in relation to amounts paid on account and wrongly attributed to over-billed invoices and due to the increase in our revenues in the USA that generate lower cost of revenues.

Research and Development. Research and development expenses were £16,875 ($31,770) and £15,625 ($27,477) for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Research and development expenses consist of labor costs of our research and development manager and other related costs.
 
Marketing and Selling Expenses. Marketing and selling expenses increased 43% to £1,413,778 ($2,661,663) for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from £991,802 ($1,744,084) for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Marketing and selling expenses as a percentage of revenues were 10% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005. This increase in marketing and selling expenses is mainly a result of our marketing efforts in the Israeli market and marketing and selling expenses related to the operations of I-55 Internet Services and I-55 Telecommunications which were merged with and into Xfone USA. Marketing expenses consist of salaries of related personnel, commissions related activities and advertising.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased 72% to £3,613,186 ($6,802,401) for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from £2,098,173 ($3,689,637) for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative increased to 26% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, as compared to 21% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The increase in our general and administrative expenses is mainly attributable to expenses incurred in the U.S., mainly attributable to the acquisitions of I-55 Internet Services and I-55 Telecommunications that increased significantly our overhead in Xfone USA.

Financing Expenses. Financing expenses, net, increased to £179,918 ($338,724) for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from £68,203 ($119,935) for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The increase in our financing expenses is mainly due to interest expenses related to a secured convertible term note issued by the Company in September 2005.

Equity Loss of Affiliated Company. Equity loss from Auracall Limited amounted to £5,942 ($11,187) reflecting our 32.5% interest in our U.K. based affiliated company Auracall Limited.

Loss from a change of holding of affiliated company. On January 1, 2006 Auracall Limited, an affiliated company, issued to the Managing Director of Auracall further shares from treasury to the level that Swiftnet Limited was diluted from 47.5% to 32.5% of the holdings of Auracall. The dilution from 47.5% to 32.5% of the holdings of Auracall result is a loss of £29,848 ($56,194) recognized during the first quarter of this year.

Income before Taxes. Income before taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 amounted to £287,542 ($541,344) or 2% of the revenues, as compared with £16,265 ($28,602) or 0.2% of the revenues, for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The increase of our income before taxes is attributable primarily to higher growth in revenues than operating expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same period last year.

Tax Benefit (Taxes on Income) Tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 amounted to £12,342 ($23,236) or 4% of the income before taxes as compared with taxes on income in the amount of £31,734 ($55,804) for the same period in the year 2005. United Kingdom companies are usually subject to income tax at the corporate rate of 20%-30%. The decrease in taxes on income is due to tax losses of our Israeli subsidiary, of which the Company recorded only partial future tax benefit.

Net Income. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was £299,884 ($564,580) as compared to a loss of £15,469 ($27,202) for the same period in the year 2005. The increase of our net income is attributable primarily to higher growth in revenues than operating expenses in the nine months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period last year and a one-time loss of £181,055 resulting from damages caused by Hurricane Katrina to the Company's equipment and operations during the third quarter of 2005.

Earning Per Share. The earning per share of common stock for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was £0.03 ($0.06) for basic 9,615,690 weighted average shares and £0.03 ($0.06) for diluted 10,075,460 shares.

COMPARAISON OF THE BALANCE SHEET OF THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2006 AND THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005

Current Assets. . Current assets amounted to £5,507,295 ($10,368,364) as of September 30, 2006 as compared with £6,895,592 ($11,894,897) as of December 31, 2005. This decrease in our current assets is mainly attributable to a decrease of £1,599,177 ($3,010,705) in our cash positions mainly due to investing activities in our U.S. and Israeli subsidiaries.

Loan to Shareholder. Short term loan to the shareholder, Mr. Abraham Keinan, our Chairman of the Board of Directors, amounted to £123,965 ($233,384) as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005. The total amount of £123,965 ($233,384) is classified as current assets as Mr. Keinan agreed with the Company to repay this amount during 2006.

Fixed Assets. Fixed assets after accumulated depreciation increased to £2,419,085 ($4,554,315) as of September 30, 2006, as compared with £2,051,315 ($3,538,518) as of December 31, 2005. The growth in fixed assets is mainly attributable to the acquisitions of I-55 Internet Services and I-55 Telecommunications in our September 30, 2006, balance sheet, as well as investment in fixed assets of our Israeli subsidiary in the process of expanding its operations.

Current Liabilities. As of September 30, 2006, current liabilities increased to £5,966,613 ($11,233,103) as compared with £5,423,951 ($9,356,315) as of December 31, 2005. This increase in our current liabilities is mainly attributable to the consolidation of our new acquired companies in the U.S. and the U.K.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005

UK Operations - 2005

Our UK subsidiary, Swiftnet Limited traditionally had a business plan to provide comprehensive telecommunication services and products by integrating new and old services, products and ideas through one website. Utilizing automation and proprietary software packages, Swiftnet's strategy is to grow without the need of heavy investments and with lower expenses for operations and registration of new customers.

-39-


In 2005 we had only approximately 0.11% of the market share of the United Kingdom telecommunication market (not including mobiles revenues), based on our revenues of $14,044,546 (approximately 8,141,766 United Kingdom pounds) during 2005, compared with approximately 12.4 billion US dollars telecommunication market (not including mobiles revenues) in the United Kingdom (approximately 7.2 billion United Kingdom pounds).

We had four major types of customers in the UK: Residential, Commercial, Governmental agencies and Resellers. During 2005, there were two UK customers that accounted for 5% or more of our revenues: (a) Story Telecom (an affiliated entity in 2005, and a majority-owned subsidiary as of May 2006), represented approximately 23% of our total revenues; and (b) British Telecom represented approximately 19% of our total revenues. Our largest non affiliated reseller was WorldNet Global Communications Ltd. ("WorldNet") that generated approximately 3.7% of our revenues during 2005. We provide WorldNet with the billing system. We anticipate that WorldNet will continue to contribute approximately the same amount of UKP to our revenues in year 2006. However, should our agreements involving Story Telecom, WorldNet or British Telecom be cancelled, our revenues will be negatively affected.

As of December 31, 2005, approximately 58% of our revenues were derived from our operations in the United Kingdom.

US Operations - 2005

Our US subsidiary, Xfone USA, Inc. provides voice, data and related services throughout the Louisiana and Mississippi area to both individuals and businesses. Xfone USA is a licensed facility based CLEC in Louisiana and Mississippi with a next generation class 5-carrier switch. Xfone USA offers a complete package of local and long distance services to residential and business customers across both states.

In 2005 we had approximately 12,000 End-User Switched Access telephone lines in the Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi market through the combination of Xfone USA and I-55 Telecommunications, LLC or 0.2% of market share. This total market size in 2005 represented 5,965,767 telephone lines, with BellSouth telecommunications maintaining its monopoly market share with 5,186,156 telephone lines or 86.9% of the market. All CLECs combined made up the remaining 779,611 telephone lines or 13% of the 3 states market, according to the 2005 FCC Report - Trends in Telephone Competition.

As of December 31, 2005, approximately 32% of our revenues were derived from our operations in the United States.

With continued cross selling to Xfone USA Customers as well as projected expansion into specific targeted wire centers, we expect to continue revenue growth and increase market share. Regulations affecting the telecommunications industry began in March 2006; conversions of all circuits affected were completed in April 2006. The competition in rural markets is also rapidly declining due to the removal of UNE-P and the decline in the competitive local exchange providers that had been dependent on UNE-P as their only source for providing competitive local telephone services in those communities. Management believes that this provides for a unique opportunity for Xfone USA to gain market share, by utilizing its existing network and to expand it facilities into these areas becoming a primary alternative to the monopoly Incumbent Local Exchange Company.

The overall trend for 2006 shows improving wireline margins in the Business markets and slightly improving margins in the Residential (Consumer) markets for facilities based providers. Mergers and acquisitions will heat up in 2006 and will become a major component for offsetting the line loss expectations due to the regulatory changes involving UNE-P. The industry has seen four mega mergers in the past two (2) years that have changed the landscape in the telecommunications industry. Analysts believe there will be more consolidation opportunity over the next two years in both wireline and wireless markets, which may also include Bell mergers.

As a result of regulatory changes, the competitive landscape has changed, creating additional opportunity for facilities based competitive carriers to gain a larger market share in a shorter period of time, due to the departure of non-faculties based providers through either termination of their business or through acquisitions.

Demands in the market show the increase of interest in providing Telco TV, VOIP products and rapid growth in the Broadband market, heating up competition with the Regional Bell Carriers and cable providers. DSL services should continue to grow due to aggressive pricing with higher speeds becoming the norm delivering download speeds of 6 Meg in certain areas.

-40-


Xfone USA’s business plan includes expansion of market share in both Business and Residential markets in its specific geographic service areas primarily in Mississippi and Louisiana, and will focus in those markets where the Company has deployed its own network and Central Offices (CO’s), which are the highest margin areas. The Business markets will be expanded through Direct Sales and Independent sales efforts, while the Residential markets will be expanded through mass marketing efforts including telesales, direct mail, email marketing and other advertising and message delivery opportunities.
 
Xfone USA’s business plan also includes growth through small acquisitions, primarily in Mississippi and Louisiana. 

Xfone USA is also planning for the future and emergence of the “Third Network” and has scale and availability to implement VoIP, Telco TV, WiFi and WiMax network architecture, as they become more viable into the future. However, these deployments are currently under much scrutiny and are being implemented in larger metropolitan areas such as New York City, Philadelphia, and San Francisco.

Israeli Operations - 2005

Since the opening of the international telephony market in Israel to competition in 1996, and until 2004, only three companies have provided international telephony services in Israel. The market, estimated to be two billion minutes per year, was more or less equally divided between the three companies. On July 4, 2004, the Ministry of Communications of the State of Israel granted our subsidiary, Xfone 018 Ltd. a license to provide international telecom services in Israel. We started providing services in Israel through Xfone 018 as of mid-December 2004. In 2004, two other new providers of international telephony services lunched their services. The international telephony market is highly competitive and all six providers had to offer low prices in order to attract or retain subscribers and call minutes. We estimate our market share as of December 31, 2005, as approximately 4% of the Israeli market. 

We have two major types of customers in Israel: Residential and Commercial. During 2005, there was one Israeli customer that accounted for 5% of our total revenues - Bezeq The Israel Telecommunication Corp.

As of December 31, 2005, approximately 10% of our revenues were derived from our operations in Israel.

Xfone 018 is operating with significantly lower overhead than its five competitors in the Israeli market by utilizing and building on our previous business models and therefore we believe that Xfone 018 will increase its market share in the international communication market. At present, Xfone 018 is increasing the performance for billable minutes in each quarter and we believe that Xfone 018 will generate a greater part of our revenues and will have a major contribution to our expected growth.

Our primary geographic markets are the United Kingdom, the United States and Israel.  However, we serve customers across Europe, Asia, North America, South America, Australia and Africa.

Years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004:
 
Revenues. Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2005 increased 25% to £14,113,748 ($24,346,215) from £11,330,116 ($21,867,124) for the same period in 2004. The increase in our Revenues is primarily attributable to the USA, Xfone USA’s revenues that increased from £1,598,344 ($3,084,804) for the year ended December 31, 2004 to £4,516,472 ($7,790,914) for the same period in 2004. The increase in our revenues derived from Internet revenues of £814,267 ($1,404,611) and the rest derived from Telephone and messaging services.
 
All traffic generated by the Story Telecom calling cards is delivered through our systems.

Story telecom contributed 23% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2005 as compared with 42% for the same period of 2004. Regular telephony voice services contributed 68% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2005 as compared with 52% for the same period of 2004. The growth in the regular telephony services of £3,723,011 ($5,220,385) or 64% is mainly attributable to a growth of £2,103,861 ($3,629,160) in the revenues that were generated in the US market in 2005 and to a growth of 1,446,267 ($2,492,914) in the revenues that were generated in the Israeli market during 2005.

We believe that during 2006 our new subsidiaries in Israel and the US will generate a greater part of our revenues and will have a major contribution to our expected growth.
 
We expect that during 2006 Swiftnet will continue to operate at the same type of services and will continue to generate a significant portion of our Revenues. We will offer some new services and billing alternatives to stronger the connection with our registered customers and to enable easy usage of our services to non registered users. Our agreement with resellers can be terminated within a relatively short notice of 7-60 days. Our largest non affiliated reseller is Worldnet that generated approximately 4% of our Revenues in 2005. Worldnet can terminate the agreement with a 7 days notice, which would adversely affect our Revenues. We anticipate that in 2006 Worldnet will continue to contribute approximately the same amount of UK Pounds to our Revenues.
 
Cost of Revenues
 
Cost of revenues consists primarily of traffic time purchased from telephone companies and other related charges. Cost of revenues increased 16% to £9,254,597 ($15,964,180) for the year ended December 31, 2005, from £7,991,375 ($15,423,353) for the year ended December 31, 2004, representing 65.6% and 70.5% of the total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. The decrease in the cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues is attributable to the decrease of our revenues that derive from Story Telecom that focuses on Calling Cards services. Story Telecom accounts for approximately 23% of our revenues in the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to 42% in the year ended December 31, 2004. Our cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues related to Worldnet is 76% and 55% for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Our cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues related to Story Telecom is approximately 94% for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, while the cost of revenues as a percentage of the rest of our revenues was 56% for the year ended December 31, 2005 and 52% for the year ended December 31, 2004. This decrease of the cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues for non Story Telecom related revenues is mainly attributable to the 47% cost of revenues in the US market in 2005.

GENERAL ANALYSIS
 
Research and Development. Research and development expenses were £6,896 ($11,896) and £25,945 ($50,074) for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, a decrease of £19,049 ($38,178).

As a result of the September 27, 2005, September 28, 2005, November 23, 2005, and June 19, 2006 financial transactions described above (the "Financial Transactions"), the Company increased the amount of shares outstanding resulting in a dilution in the percentage of common stock owned by the Company’s existing stockholders, although the price paid was in excess of the net tangible book value per share and accordingly was not economically dilutive. In addition, as a result of the issuance and registration of shares pursuant to the Financial Transactions, a substantial number of our shares of common stock become available for immediate resale, which could have an adverse effect on the price of our common stock. In the event that the sale of such shares results in a decline in our stock price it may cause other shareholders to sell their shares or even engage in short sales of the Company's common stock which could cause the price to further decline. Any such decreases in the price of our common stock may cause stockholders to lose some or all of their investment. To the extent any of the investors in the Financial Transactions exercise any of their warrants, and then resell the shares of common stock issued to them upon such exercise, the price of our common stock may decrease even further due to the additional shares of common stock in the market. The exercise of the warrants and the conversion of the secured convertible note into common stock will substantially dilute the percentage of common stock owned by existing stockholders and will likely have a negative affect on the market price of our common stock. We lack control over the timing of any exercise or the number of shares offered or sold.

The above-mentioned November 23, 2005 financial transaction was approved at a Special Meeting of the shareholders of the Company, held on March 13, 2006. The shareholders approval was required by the American Stock Exchange rules because the financial transaction coupled with the Company’s earlier financings described herein would constitute more than 20% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The issuance and listing of the related shares of common stock of the Company were approved by the American Stock Exchange on March 27, 2006.

We will consider raising additional capital through private and/or public placements to fund possible acquisitions and business development activities and for working capital.

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CURRENCY FLUCTUATIONS

As of September 30, 2006, our main functional currency remains the UKP as a significant portion of our revenues is derived from our United Kingdom based subsidiary Swiftnet. Following the acquisition of our United States subsidiary in March 10, 2005, a large potion of our business is in U.S. Dollars. In addition, we started to do business in Israel with the Israeli currency (NIS) as of mid December 2004. 15% of our revenues were derived from our Israeli subsidiary. Approximately 40% of the direct traffic costs in Israel are in UKP and the rest in NIS. We believe that the U.S. and Israeli portions of our revenues will increase during 2006 and 2007. Most of our revenues, current assets and long-term loans to a shareholder are in UKP and U.S. Dollars.

Our costs of revenues are mainly in UKP and U.S. Dollars.

Most of our liabilities, operating and financing expenses are in UKP and U.S. Dollars. The remainder of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenditures are in NIS. We anticipate that by the end of 2006, the portion of U.S. Dollars will be greater and will probably turn to our main functional currency although the portion of UKP will stay significant.

A devaluation of the UKP or the NIS in relation to the U.S. Dollar will have the effect of decreasing the U.S. Dollar value of all assets or liabilities that are in UKP or NIS.

-50-


Conversely, any increase in the value of the UKP in relation to the U.S. Dollar has the effect of increasing the U.S. Dollar value of all UKP assets and the U.S. Dollar amounts of any UKP liabilities and expenses.

Inflation in any of the countries where we operate would affect our operational results if we shall not be able to match our revenues with growing expenses caused by inflation.

If the rate of inflation causes a rise in salaries or other expenses and the market conditions don’t allow us to raise prices proportionally, it will have a negative effect on the value of our assets and on our potential profitability.

We serve customers across Europe, Asia, North America, South America, Australia and Africa.

On October 4, 2000, we acquired Swiftnet Limited which had a business plan to provide comprehensive telecommunication services and products by integrating new and old products, services and ideas through one website. Swiftnet was incorporated in 1990 under the laws of the United Kingdom. Until 1999, the main revenues for Swiftnet were derived from messaging and fax broadcast services. During 2000, Swiftnet shifted its business focus and its focus has remained on telephony voice services offering comprehensive support packages to resellers and new services. Utilizing automation and proprietary software packages, Swiftnet's strategy is to grow without the need for heavy investments and with lower expenses for operations and registration of new customers.

On April 15, 2004, we established an Israel based subsidiary, Xfone Communication Ltd. (which changed its name to Xfone 018 Ltd. in March 2005). On July 4, 2004, the Ministry of Communications of the State of Israel granted Xfone 018 a license to provide international telecom services in Israel. We started providing services in Israel through Xfone 018 as of mid-December 2004. Headquartered in Petach Tikva, Israel, Xfone 018 Ltd. is a telecommunications service provider that owns and operates its own facilities-based telecommunications switching system. Xfone 018 provides residential and business customers with high quality international carrier services.

On May 28, 2004, we entered into an agreement and Plan of Merger to acquire WS Telecom, Inc., a Mississippi corporation, and its two wholly owned subsidiaries, eXpeTel Communications, Inc. and Gulf Coast Utilities, Inc., through the merger of WS Telecom into our wholly owned subsidiary Xfone USA, Inc. On July 1, 2004, Xfone USA entered into a management agreement with WS Telecom which provided that Xfone USA provide management services to WS Telecom pending the consummation of the merger.

On August 18, 2005, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger to acquire I-55 Internet Services, Inc., a Louisiana corporation (the “I-55 Internet Merger Agreement”). On September 13, 2005, we filed a Form 8-K discussing the impact of Hurricane Katrina on the transaction contemplated by the I-55 Internet Merger Agreement. On October 10, 2005, we entered into a First Amendment to the Merger Agreement, by and among I-55 Internet Services, us, Xfone USA, Inc., our wholly-owned United States subsidiary and Hunter McAllister and Brian Acosta, key employees of I-55 Internet Services, in order to induce us and Xfone USA not to terminate the I-55 Internet Merger Agreement due to the material adverse effect that Hurricane Katrina has had on the assets and business of I-55 Internet Services. As part of the amendment and since, at that time, the merger of I-55 Internet Services with and into Xfone USA had not been consummated yet, in the interim, the parties agreed and entered into on October 11, 2005 a Management Agreement (the "I-55 Internet Management Agreement") that provided that I-55 Internet Services hired and appointed Xfone USA as manager to be responsible for the operation and management of all of I-55 Internet Services business operations, including among other things personnel, accounting, contracts, policies and budget. In consideration of the management services provided under the I-55 Internet Management Agreement, I-55 Internet Services assigned and transferred to Xfone USA all revenues generated and expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business during the term of the I-55 Internet Management Agreement.

In conjunction with that certain Letter Agreement dated October 10, 2005 with MCG Capital Corporation (the "Letter Agreement"), a major creditor of I-55 Internet Services, and upon the consummation of the merger on March 31, 2006, we issued to MCG Capital 667,998 shares of our common stock, valued at fair value of $2,010,006, in return for retiring its loan with I-55 Internet Services.

I-55 Internet Services provided Internet access and related services, such as installation of various networking equipment, website design and other Internet access installation services, throughout the Southeastern United States to individuals and businesses located predominantly in rural markets in Louisiana and Mississippi. As a result of the merger with and into Xfone USA, these services are now available in expanded markets throughout Louisiana and Mississippi. The Internet service offerings include dial-up, DSL, high speed dedicated Internet access, web services, email, the World Wide Web, Internet relay chat, file transfer protocol and Usenet news access to both residential and business customers. The I-55 Internet Services offerings provided various prices and packages that allowed I-55 Internet Services subscribers to customize their subscription with services that met customers’ particular requirements. Xfone USA now provides bundled services of voice and data (Internet) to customers throughout its service areas.

On August 26, 2005, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger to acquire I-55 Telecommunications, LLC, a Louisiana corporation (the “I-55 Telecom Merger Agreement”). On September 13, 2005, we filed a Form 8-K discussing the impact of Hurricane Katrina on the transaction contemplated by the I-55 Telecom Merger Agreement. In order to demonstrate their intention to continue on with the transaction contemplated by the I-55 Telecom Merger Agreement, the parties entered into on October 12, 2005 a Management Agreement (the “I-55 Telecom Management Agreement”) that provided that I-55 Telecommunications hired and appointed Xfone USA as manager to be responsible for the operation and management of all of I-55 Telecommunications’ business operations.

In conjunction with the consummation of the merger and in exchange for all of the capital stock of I-55 Telecommunications, we issued a total of 223,702 shares of our common stock valued at $671,687 and 79,029 warrants exercisable into shares of our common stock, with an exercise price of $3.38, valued based on the Black Scholes option-pricing model.

In conjunction with certain Agreements to Purchase Promissory Notes dated October 31, 2005 / February 3, 2006 with Randall Wade James Tricou; Rene Tricou - Tricou Construction; Rene Tricou - Bon Aire Estates; Rene Tricou - Bon Aire Utility; and Danny Acosta, creditors of I-55 Telecommunications (the "Creditors"), and upon the consummation of the merger on March 31, 2006, we issued to the Creditors an aggregate of 163,933 restricted shares of common stock and an aggregate of 81,968 warrants, exercisable at $3.38 per share, at a total value of $492,220, in return for retiring their individual loans with I-55 Telecommunications. 

I-55 Telecommunications provided voice, data and related services throughout the Louisiana and Mississippi area to both individuals and businesses. Prior to the merger with and into Xfone USA, I-55 Telecommunications was a licensed facility based CLEC in Louisiana and Mississippi with a next generation class 5 switching solution. I-55 Telecommunications provided a complete packages of local and long distance services to residential and business customers across both states. As a result of the merger, Xfone USA has expanded its On-Net (facilities) service area, through I-55 Telecommunications, into New Orleans, Louisiana and surrounding areas, including Hammond, Louisiana. Xfone USA is expanding its sales offices to include New Orleans, continuing revenue growth and increase market share. Regulations affecting the telecommunications industry began in March 2006; conversions of all circuits affected were completed in April 2006. The competition in secondary markets, such as Jackson, Mississippi, New Orleans and Baton Rouge, Louisiana, as opposed to Tier 1 markets such as Atlanta, Georgia, is also rapidly declining due to the removal of UNE-P and the decline in the competitive local exchange providers that had been dependent on UNE-P as their only source for providing competitive local telephone services in those markets. This provides for a unique opportunity for Xfone USA to gain market share, by utilizing its existing network and to expand its facilities into these areas becoming a primary alternative to the monopoly Incumbent Local Exchange Company.

On January 1, 2006, Xfone USA, Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary, entered into an Agreement with EBI Comm, Inc. (“EBI”), a privately held Internet Service Provider, to purchase the assets of EBI. EBI provided a full range of Internet access options for both commercial and residential customers in north Mississippi. Based in Columbus, Mississippi, EBI’s services included Dial-up, DSL, T1 Dedicated Access and Web Hosting. The customer base, numbering approximately 1,500 Internet users, is largely concentrated in the Golden Triangle area, which includes Columbus, West Point and Starkville, Mississippi. The acquisition was structured as an asset purchase, providing for Xfone USA to pay EBI total consideration equal to 50% of the monthly collected revenue from the customer base during the first 12 months, beginning January 2006. Acquired assets include the customer base and customer lists, trademarks and all related intellectual property, fixed assets and all account receivables. The acquisition was not significant from an accounting perspective.

On January 10, 2006 (effective as of January 1, 2006), Xfone USA, Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Canufly.net, Inc. (“Canufly.net”), an Internet Service Provider based in Vicksburg, Mississippi, and its principal shareholder, Mr. Michael Nassour. Canufly.net provided residential and business customers with high-speed Internet services and utilized the facilities-based network of Xfone USA, as an alternative to BellSouth, to provide Internet connectivity to its customers. Canufly.net also provided Internet services through wireless applications. The transaction was closed on January 24, 2006.

Story Telecom, Inc., a telecommunication service provider, operates in the United Kingdom through its two wholly owned subsidiaries, Story Telecom Limited and Story Telecom (Ireland) Limited. Story Telecom operates as a division of our operations in the United Kingdom. Founder and CEO of Story Telecom, Nir Davison, remained as Managing Director of the division.

Our Billing Practices

We charge our customers based on a monthly fixed amount or on actual usage by full or partial minutes. Our rates vary with distance, duration, time, and type of call, but are not dependent upon the facilities selected for the call transmission. The standard terms for our regular telephone customers require that payments are due 30 days from the date of the invoice, or 90 days when the invoice is issued by the local operator. Our supplier's standard terms are payment within 30 to 90 days from invoice date; however, some new suppliers ask for shorter payment terms.

Carriers and Negotiating Lower Rates

Our increased sales in 2004 and 2005 have enabled us to negotiate significantly lower rates with the carriers we use to carry our international call traffic, which gives us the opportunity to increase our margins or offer significant reductions to secure deals with major clients. If our sales increase, we anticipate that we will continue to negotiate for lower rates. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in negotiating lower rates.

Partner Division - Our Partner Division operates as a separate profit center by attempting to recruit new resellers and agents to market our products and services and to provide support and guidance to resellers and agents.

Competitive Business Conditions

The UK Market

The communications and information services industry is highly competitive and varied. In 2005, we had only approximately 0.11% of the market share of the United Kingdom telecommunication market (not including mobiles revenues), based on our revenues of $14,044,546 (approximately ₤8,141,766) during 2005, compared with the approximately $12.4 billion telecommunication market (not including mobiles revenues) in the United Kingdom (approximately ₤7.2 billion), according to the United Kingdom regulatory oversight of these companies, the Office of Communications - United Kingdom, otherwise known as Ofcom, the website of which may be accessed at  www.ofcom.org.uk.

With the reduction of CLEC competition in the U.S. since the TRRO ruling by the FCC in March 2005, the Company believes that market share expansion will continue to improve for Xfone USA by bundling voice and data services, and introducing price points on similar bundled services well below the competition. Marketing concentration will focus in the central office serving areas where Xfone USA operates its own network and facilities.

The Israeli Market

Since the opening of the international telephony market in Israel to competition in 1996, and until 2004, only three companies have provided international telephony services in Israel. The market, estimated at that time to be 2 billion minutes per year, was more or less equally divided between the three companies. On July 4, 2004, the Ministry of Communications of the State of Israel granted our subsidiary, Xfone 018 a license to provide international telecom services in Israel. We started providing services in Israel through Xfone 018 as of mid-December 2004. In 2004, two other new providers of international telephony services launched their services. The international telephony market is highly competitive and all six providers had to offer low prices in order to attract or retain subscribers and call minutes. In 2005, the international telephony market was estimated to be 2.5 billion minutes. We estimate our market share as of December 31, 2005, as approximately 4% of the Israeli market.

Principal Suppliers

In 2005, our principal suppliers of telephone routing and switching services according to the percentage of the costs of revenues were:
 
 
·
BellSouth Telecommunications  - 32%
 
·
Teleglobe International -16%
 
·
British Telecommunications - 13%
 
·
MCI (WorldCom) - 11%
 
·
ITXC Corporation - 6%
 
·
Bezeq The Israel Telecommunication Corp - 5%

We are dependent on several of our suppliers. However, these suppliers are required to provide us with services according to the relevant regulations and their licenses to operate as a telecommunications provider in the relevant jurisdictions.

Major Customers

We have six major types of customers:
 
 
·
Residential - including customers who must dial a special code to access our switch or acquire a box that dials automatically.

·
Governmental agencies - Including the United Nations World Economic Forum, the Argentine Embassy, the Spanish Embassy and the Israeli Embassy.
 
·

During 2005, there were three customers that accounted for 5% or more of our revenues: (a) Story Telecom (an affiliated entity in 2005, and a majority-owned subsidiary as of May 2006), represented approximately 23% of our total revenues; (b) British Telecom represented approximately 19% of our total revenues; and (c) Bezeq The Israel Telecommunication Corp represented approximately 5% of our total revenues. British Telecom and Bezeq provide us with collection services with respect to the services we provide to our end-user customers which subscribe to these companies' local telephone services. The revenues set forth above with respect to British Telecom and Bezeq represent revenues collected by these companies on our behalf.

Our largest non affiliated reseller is WorldNet Global Communications Ltd. which generated approximately 3.7% of our revenues during the year 2005. We provide WorldNet Global Communications with the billing system. We anticipate that WorldNet will continue to contribute approximately the same amount of UKP to our revenues in year 2006. 
 
Collectively, in 2005 the United Kingdom accounts for approximately 58% of our revenues, the United States accounts for approximately 32% of our revenues and Israel accounts for approximately 10% of our revenues.
Our integrated revenue approach led to revenue from each source as described above and is partially driven by the activities of other revenue sources. Our revenues are dependent upon the following factors:
 
 
·
Price competition in telephone rates;
 
·
Demand for our services;
 
·
Individual economic conditions in our markets; and
 
·
Our ability to market our services.

Patents and trademarks

On September 14, 2000, Equitalk received notification from the Trademarks Registry Office of Great Britain that its trademark, “Equitalk”, was registered by that government agency.

On January 9, 2004, we received notification from the Trademarks Registry Office of Great Britain that as of August 8, 2003, our trademark, “Xfone”, was registered by that government agency.

On April 22, 2005, Xfone USA received notification from the United States Patent and Trademark Office that as of April 12, 2005, its Mark, “eXpeTel”, was registered by that government agency.

On November 14, 2006, Xfone 018 received notification from the Trademarks Registry Office of Israel that its trademark, “Xfone 018”, was registered by that government agency.

We do not have any other patents or trademarks.

Regulatory Matters

In 1996, our subsidiary, Swiftnet Limited was granted a license to operate a telecommunications system from the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry of the United Kingdom. On July 25 2003 the regulatory situation within the United Kingdom changed dramatically with the ending of the licensing regime and the withdrawal and revocation of the Telecommunication Act.

The licensing regime has been replaced by a general authorization regime with the introduction of the General Conditions of Entitlement.

We are now affected by regulations introduced by the Office of Communications ("Ofcom"). Ofcom is the regulator for the UK communications industries, with responsibilities across television, radio, telecommunications and wireless communications services. We do not believe that any regulations introduced by Ofcom will interfere with or substantially impair our business.

On April 15, 2004, we established Xfone Communication Ltd. and renamed it to Xfone 018 Ltd in March 2005. On July 4, 2004 the Ministry of Communications of the State of Israel granted Xfone 018 a license to provide international telecom services in Israel. The license may be revoked by this agency in the occurrence of certain events such as breach of telecommunication laws and regulations or breach of certain provisions of the license.

-60-



On May 31, 2006, Xfone 018 was granted permission by the Ministry of Communications of the State of Israel to commence experimental deployment of Voice over Broadband (VoB) services.

On August 21, 2006, the Ministry of Communications of the State of Israel granted Xfone 018 a license to operate in Israel as an ISP, thus enabling Xfone 018 to provide Internet access, Email and EDI (electronic data interchange) services.
 
Xfone USA is licensed as a CLEC and an Inter-exchange Carrier to provide local telephone and long distance services in the states of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi. Internet and data services provided by Xfone USA are not regulated services.

As of March 10, 2005, and upon consummation of the merger of WS Telecom, with and into Xfone USA, Inc., we became subject to applicable US state and federal telecommunications laws and regulations. Compliance with such laws involved higher costs than we had in Europe during 2004.

On March 9, 2005, the Mississippi Public Service Commission (“Commission”) issued an Order opening a Generic Change of Law Proceeding (“Commission Proceeding”) to consider amendments to existing Interconnection Agreements between BellSouth Telecommunications, Inc. and all (CLECs) in Mississippi.  As an interested party and as a CLEC, Xfone USA petitioned and was granted permission to intervene in the Commission Proceeding for regulatory purposes. On October 26, 2005, the Commission held its hearing on the Commission Proceeding and the Commission is taking the results of the Proceeding under advisement and has not issued a ruling. The issues presented in the Commission Proceeding are regulatory in nature and do not involve monetary damages.

From time to time Xfone USA may be required to seek regulatory approval before applicable state public utility commissions of certain transactions, including business combinations with other telecommunications providers. During 2005, upon request of Xfone USA, the Mississippi Public Service Commission and the Louisiana Public Service Commission granted regulatory approval of the sale and transfer of the assets and the customer base of I-55 Telecommunications to Xfone USA. This transaction was closed on March 31, 2006.

We provide our services in many countries, all of which have different regulations, standards and controls related to licensing, telecommunications, import/export, currency and trade. We believe that we are in substantial compliance with these laws and regulations.

Research and Development Activities

During fiscal year 2004, we spent ₤25,945 ($50,074) on research and development activities. During fiscal year 2005, we spent ₤6,896 ($11,896) on research and development activities. Other than developing and expanding our telecommunications applications and our websites, we do not intend to undertake any significant research and development activities in 2006.

Cost of Compliance with Environmental Laws

We currently have no costs associated with compliance with environmental regulations. We do not anticipate any future costs associated with environmental compliance; however, there can be no assurance that we will not incur such costs in the future.

Employees

We currently have 21 employees in the United Kingdom, 81 employees in the United States, and 40 employees in Israel.

Code of Conduct and Ethics

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company has adopted and approved a Code of Conduct and Ethics (the “Code”) to apply to all the directors, officers and employees of the Company. The Code which was ratified by the Board of Directors of the Company is intended to promote ethical conduct and compliance with laws and regulations, to provide guidance with respect to the handling of ethical issues, to implement mechanisms to report unethical conduct, to foster a culture of honesty and accountability, to deter wrongdoing and to ensure fair and accurate financial reporting. The Code became effective on August 15, 2006.

D. PENDING LEGAL MATTERS

I. MG Telecom Ltd.
 
In August 2002, Swiftnet Limited, the Company’s wholly-owned U.K. based subsidiary, filed a summary procedure lawsuit in the Magistrate Court of Tel - Aviv, Israel against MG Telecom Ltd. and its Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Avner Shur. In this lawsuit, we allege an unpaid debt due to us in the amount of $50,000 from MG Telecom for services rendered by us to MG Telecom. The debt arose from an agreement between us and MG Telecom, a provider of calling card services, in which traffic originating from MG Telecom calling cards was delivered through our system in London, England. Mr. Shur signed a personal guarantee agreement to secure MG Telecom’s obligations under the agreement. On August 16, 2005, the court rendered a judgment in this matter, rejecting our claims. On October 16, 2005, Swiftnet filed an appeal with the District Court of Tel - Aviv. A hearing is scheduled for December 28, 2006. Swiftnet believes that it has a meritous ground supporting its claim.
 
II. MCI WorldCom Limited

Swiftnet Limited , the Company’s wholly-owned U.K. based subsidiary, was served with a claim on October 11, 2005 that was filed by MCI WorldCom Limited (“MCI”) in an English court for the sum of £1,640,439.71 ($3,088,391) plus interest accruing at a daily rate of £400.80 ($755) which at the date of claim had amounted to £92,317.03 ($173,802). MCI’s claim is for telecommunication services MCI claims it provided to Swiftnet. Swiftnet has been in dispute with MCI regarding amounts due to MCI for telecommunications services provided by MCI to Swiftnet. Swiftnet alleges that the disputed charges were improperly billed by MCI to its account for a long time and therefore MCI should credit Swiftnet for a certain amount of the claim.  Swiftnet has defended the claim by stating that in relation to the invoices that MCI is claiming remain unpaid, £307,094 ($578,154) is not justified according to the rates agreed at various meetings and equates to an over-billing by such amount, although Swiftnet does not have written evidence for many of the agreed rates. Swiftnet has also submitted a counterclaim stating that it is owed a further £671,111 ($1,263,474) in credits in relation to amounts paid on account and wrongly attributed by MCI to over-billed invoices. In addition, MCI continues to send traffic to Swiftnet for termination via Xfone 018's network. Swiftnet is claiming that the amounts owed by MCI to Swiftnet in this regard should be set off against any amounts being claimed by MCI in the dispute.  There is a further counterclaim for additional accounting costs and loss of management time incurred by Swiftnet due to the incorrect billing. Our financial statements have for some time carried the full amount due to MCI based on the invoices issued by MCI, as well as an appropriate provision for the credit the Company is claiming. 

III. Famous Telecommunications 

In August 2006, Story Telecom Limited, the Company's majority-owned U.K. based subsidiary, filed a lawsuit in the Barnet County Court, London, United Kingdom, against “Famous Telecommunications”, a reseller of calling cards, and its owner, Mr. Tanvir Babar. In this lawsuit, Story Telecom alleged an unpaid debt in the amount of £52,000 from Famous Telecommunications and/or Mr. Baber for services rendered by it. The debt arose from an agreement between Story Telecom and famous Telecommunications and/or Mr. Baber, in which Story Telecom supplied Famous Telecommunications and/or Mr. Baber with calling cards which they in turn distributed in the market. In September 2006, the court rendered a Judgment in Default in favor of Story Telecom. According to the judgment Famous Telecommunications and/or Mr. Baber must pay the debt plus interest forthwith, approximately £54,000. Famous Telecommunications and/or Mr. Baber failed to comply with the court's order and as a result thereof Story Telecom applied for a Third Party Debt Order, requesting the court to order Mr. Baber’s bank, Halifax plc, to make available to Story Telecom any monies currently available within Mr. Baber's account. In October 2006, the court made an Interim Order ordering Halifax to hold any amounts available within Mr. Baber’s account (up to the amount of the judgment being £54,000) in favor of Story Telecom until full hearing takes place. The hearing is scheduled for January 18, 2007.

Appendix B6

 Note 1 - Organization and Nature of Business

 
A.
Xfone, Inc. ("Xfone") was incorporated in Nevada, U.S.A. in September, 2000 and is a provider of voice and data telecommunications services, with operations in the United Kingdom, the United States and Israel.

Xfone’s holdings in subsidiaries are as follows:

 
-
Swiftnet Limited ("Swiftnet") - wholly owned U.K subsidiary.
 
 
-
Xfone USA, Inc. ("Xfone USA") located in Mississippi- wholly owned subsidiary.

 
-
Xfone 018 Ltd, an Israeli company ("Xfone 018") - in which Xfone holds a 69% ownership share.
 
On April 15, 2004, we established an Israel based subsidiary, Xfone Communication Ltd. (which changed its name to Xfone 018 Ltd. in March 2005). On July 4, 2004, the Ministry of Communications of the State of Israel granted Xfone 018 a license to provide international telecom services in Israel. We started providing services in Israel through Xfone 018 as of mid-December 2004. Headquartered in Petach Tikva, Israel, Xfone 018 Ltd. is a telecommunications service provider that owns and operates its own facilities-based telecommunications switching system
 
In May 2004 Xfone entered into an agreement to acquire WS Telecom Inc. a Mississippi corporation, which provides telecommunication services in the southeastern United States. From July 2004 Xfone USA managed WS Telecom Inc. under a management agreement until the consummation of the acquisition on March 10, 2005 (See note 19).
 
The financial statements consolidate the operations of Xfone, Swiftnet, Xfone 018 and Xfone USA - (collectively the "Company").
 
 
B.
The financial statements of the company have been prepared in Sterling ("£") since this is the currency of the prime economic environment, the U.K., in which the majority of the operations of the Company are conducted.

 
C.
The financial statements have been translated into U.S. dollars using the rate of exchange of the U.S. dollar at December 31, 2005. The translation was made solely for the convenience of the readers. It should be noted that the £ figures do not necessarily represent the current cost amounts of the various elements presented and that the translated U.S. dollars figures should not be construed as a representation that the £ currency amounts actually represented, or could be converted into, U.S. dollars. The representative rate of exchange of the £ at December 31, 2005 was £1 = 1.725 US$.

Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the financial statements, applied on a consistent basis, are as follows:
 
 
A.
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. A minority interest in the loss of a subsidiary will be recorded according to the respective equity interest of the minority and up to its exposure and/or legal obligation to cover the subsidiary losses in case of equity reduced to zero or below.

 
B.
Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded at net realizable value consisting of the carrying amount less the allowance for uncollectible accounts.

Appendix B7


The Company uses the allowance method to account for uncollectible accounts receivable balances. Under the allowance method, estimate of uncollectible customer balances is made using factors such as the credit quality of the customer and the economic conditions in the market. Accounts are considered past due once the unpaid balance is 90 days or more outstanding, unless payment terms are extended. When an account balance is past due and attempts have been made to collect the receivable through legal or other means the amount is considered uncollectible and is written off against the allowance balance.

As of December 31, 2005 the accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of £402,957.

 
C.
Investments

Investments in affiliates over which we have a significant influence, but not a controlling interest, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. All equity investments are periodically reviewed to determine if declines in fair value below cost basis are other than temporary. If the decline in fair value is determined to be other than temporary, an impairment loss is recorded and the investment is written down to a new carrying value. In case of losses the equity of such investments is reduced to zero.

 
D.
Equipment

Equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated by the declining balance method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Annual rates of depreciation are as follows:
    
 
Methods
Useful Life
Switching equipment
straight line
10 years
Machinery and equipment
straight line
3-4 years
Furniture and fixtures
straight line
4-14 years
Motor vehicles
straight line
4 years
 
 
E.
Other intangible assets

Other intangible assets with determinable lives consist of license for communication services and are amortized over the 20 year term of the license.

 
F.
Long-Lived Assets

The Company periodically evaluate the recoverability of the carrying amount of long-lived assets (including property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets with determinable lives) whenever event or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. We evaluate events or changes in circumstances based on a number of factors including operating results, business plans and forecasts, general and industry trends and, economic projections and anticipated cash flows. Impairment, if any, is assessed when the undiscounted expected future cash flows derived from an asset are less than its carrying amount. Impairment losses are measured as the amount by which the carrying value of an asset exceeds its fair value and are recognized in earnings. The Company also continually evaluates the estimated useful lives of all long-lived assets and periodically revises such estimates based on current events.

 
G.
Revenue Recognition

The Company’s source of revenues results from charges to customers for the call minutes they use while on the Company’s telecommunications system. Such revenues are recognized at the time this service is rendered. Amounts prepaid by customers are deferred and recorded as a liability and then recorded as revenue when the customer utilizes the service. Messaging services customers are being charged on a per minute basis, per fax page or email. Commissions to agents are accounted as marketing costs for the Company.

Appendix B8



 
H.
Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 
I.
Earnings Per Share

Basic earning per share (EPS) is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.

 
J.
Income Taxes

Deferred tax liabilities or assets reflect temporarily differences between amounts of assets and liabilities for financial and tax reporting and are adjusted, as appropriate, to reflect changes in tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse.

 
K.
Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for equity-based compensation arrangements in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations, and complies with the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” All equity-based awards to non-employees are accounted for at their fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 123. Under APB No. 25, compensation expense is based upon the difference, if any, on the date of grant, between the fair value of the Company’s stock and the exercise price. Pro forma information (see Note 14) regarding the Company’s net income and net earnings per share is required by SFAS No. 123 and has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options under the fair value method prescribed by SFAS No. 123.

 
L.
Foreign Currency Translation

Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries operating outside United Kingdom with a functional currency other than Pound are translated into Pounds using year end exchange rates, costs and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate effective during the year. Foreign currency translation gains and losses are included in the shareholders equity section.

 
M.
Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Purchased Intangible Assets

In accordance with SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", goodwill acquired in business combination is assigned to reporting units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination as of the acquisition date. The company assesses goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually at the end of each year and more frequently if events and circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred in accordance with SFAS No. 142. SFAS 142 also requires that the fair value of indefinite-lived purchased intangible assets be estimated and compared to the carrying value. The company recognizes an impairment loss when the estimated fair value of the indefinite-lived purchased intangible assets is less than the carrying value.

Appendix B9



 
N.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
1) FAS 123(R)

In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 123 (Revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment" ("Statement 123(R)"). Statement 123(R) supersedes APB 25 and requires the recognition of the cost of employee services received in exchange for stock options and awards of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of such options and awards, over the period they vest. Statement 123(R) will be effective beginning January 1, 2006. Beginning January 1, 2006, the Company will recognize the unvested portion of employee compensation from stock options and awards equal to the unamortized grant-date fair value over the remaining vesting period.

2) FAS 151
 
In November 2004, the FASB issued FAS 151, “Inventory Costs—an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin, ARB 43, Chapter 4”. This statement amends current guidance to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material. This statement requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges. In addition, this statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The Company does not expect this statement to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements or its results of operations.

Note 12 - Commitments & Contingencies
 
 
A.
The Company’s wholly-owned UK based subsidiary, Swiftnet Limited was served with a claim on October 11, 2005 that was filed by MCI WorldCom Limited (“MCI”) in an English court for the sum of £1,640,440 ($2,829,758) plus interest accruing at a daily rate of £401 ($691) which at the date of Claim had amounted to £92,317 ($159,247). MCI’s claim is for telecommunication services MCI claims it provided to Swiftnet. Swiftnet has been in dispute with MCI regarding amounts due to MCI for telecommunications services provided by MCI to Swiftnet. Swiftnet alleges that the disputed charges were improperly billed by MCI to its account for a long time and therefore MCI should credit Swiftnet for a certain amount of the claim.  Swiftnet has defended the claim by stating that in relation to the Invoices that MCI is claiming remain unpaid, £307,094 ($529,737) is not justified according to the rates agreed at various meetings and equates to an over-billing by such amount, although Swiftnet does not have written evidence for many of the agreed rates. Swiftnet has also submitted a counterclaim stating that it is owed a further £671,111 ($1,157,666) in credits in relation to amounts paid on account and wrongly attributed by MCI to over-billed invoices. In addition, MCI continues to send traffic to Swiftnet for termination via our Israeli subsidiary's network. Swiftnet is claiming that the amounts owed by MCI to Swiftnet in this regard should be set off as against any amounts being claimed by MCI in the dispute.  There is a further counterclaim for additional accountancy costs and loss of management time incurred by Swiftnet due to the incorrect billing. The Company's financial statements have for some time carried the full amount due to MCI based on the invoices issued by MCI, as well as an appropriate provision for the credit the company is claiming. 


Appendix B14


 
B.
Opal Telecom Limited claims that the Company’s wholly-owned UK based subsidiary, Swiftnet Limited, owes them £119,000 ($205,275). However, Swiftnet claims that Opal Telecom owes it damages for breach of an agreement and further that the debt claimed should be reduced by £50,000 ($86,250) to take account of billing errors. Legal proceedings have not been commenced and the parties are planning to meet to see if a settlement can be reached.

Xfone entered into an agreement with an investor in Israel, whereby the later purchased 26% interest in Xfone 018 owned by another shareholder through providing a bank guarantee of 10,000,000 New Israeli Shekels ("NIS") (£1,259,398) ($2,172,496) to the Ministry of Communications of the State of Israel which replaced an existing bank guarantee given by the Company. As part of the agreement, the Company agreed to indemnify the investor for any damage caused to him due to the forfeiture of the bank guarantee with the Ministry of Communications on account of any act and/or omission of Xfone, provided that the said act or omission is performed against the opinion of the investor or without his knowledge. Further, the Company agreed that if at the end of the first two years of Xfone 018 business activity, its revenues shall be less than $2,000,000 (£1,159,420), or if it shall cease business activity (at any time), the Company shall secure the return of the bank guarantee to the investor.

In addition, the bank made available to Xfone 018 a long-term facility of 3,150,000 NIS ($684,336) to procure equipment. The credit facilities are secured with: (a) a floating charge on Xfone 018 assets; (b) a fixed charge on its telecommunication equipment (including switches); (c) subordination of a Term Note of $800,000 (in favor of the Company); (d) assignment of rights by way of pledge on the Partner Communications Company Ltd. contract, the Cellcom Israel Ltd. contract, the Pelephone Communications Ltd. contract, and the Credit companies contracts with Xfone 018; (e) personal collateral by Abraham Keinan and Guy Nissenson, which includes a stock pledge. The Company agreed to indemnify Abraham Keinan and/or Guy Nissenson on account of any damage and/or loss and/or expense (including legal expenses) that they may incur in connection with the stock pledge and/or any other obligation made by them to Bank Hapoalim in connection with the collateral; (f) The Company and Swiftnet Limited issued a Letter of Guarantee, unlimited in amount, in favor of the bank, guaranteeing all debt and indebtedness of Xfone 018 towards the bank.

The Company accounts for stock options plan grants to employees and directors in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (APB No. 25). Under APB No. 25, there is no compensation cost recognized for the Company’s stock option plan, because the options granted under the plan have an exercise price greater than the market value of the underlying stock at the grant date. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (SFAS No. 123), as amended, allows, but does not require companies to record compensation cost for fixed stock option plans using a fair value based method. As permitted by SFAS No. 123, the Company elected to account for compensation cost for the stock option plan using the intrinsic value based method under APB No. 25. The following table sets forth pro forma information as if compensation cost had been determined consistent with the requirements of SFAS No. 123. The fair value of the options granted was estimated on the date of grant using Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Xfone, Inc. and Subsidiaries
 
Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2006
(unaudited)
 
Note 1 - Organization and Nature of Business

A. Xfone, Inc. ("Xfone") was incorporated in Nevada, U.S.A. in September 2000 and is a provider of voice and data telecommunications services, with operations in the United Kingdom, the United States and Israel.

Xfone's holdings in subsidiaries are as follows:

 
-
Swiftnet Limited ("Swiftnet") - wholly owned U.K. subsidiary.

 
-
Equitalk.co.uk Limited ("Equitalk") - wholly owned U.K. subsidiary.

 
-
Xfone USA, Inc. ("Xfone USA") - wholly owned U.S. subsidiary.

 
-
Story Telecom, Inc. ("Story Telecom") - majority owned (69.6%) U.S. subsidiary.

 
-
Xfone 018 Ltd. ("Xfone 018") - majority owned (69%) Israeli subsidiary.

In October 2000, we acquired Swiftnet Limited, a UK company that provides a variety of telecommunications services.

In April 2004, we established an Israel based subsidiary, Xfone Communication Ltd. (which changed its name to Xfone 018 Ltd. in March 2005). On July 4, 2004, the Ministry of Communications of the State of Israel granted Xfone 018 a license to provide international telecom services in Israel. We started providing services in Israel through Xfone 018 as of mid-December 2004. Xfone 018 Ltd. is a telecommunications service provider that owns and operates its own facilities-based telecommunications switching system.

In May 2004, we entered into an agreement to acquire WS Telecom, Inc. a Mississippi corporation, which provided telecommunication services in the southeastern United States. Xfone USA managed WS Telecom, Inc. under a management agreement from July 2004 until the consummation of the acquisition on March 10, 2005.

In August 2005, we entered into agreements to acquire I-55 Telecommunications, LLC and I-55 Internet Services, Inc. (“I-55 Internet”). Xfone USA managed I-55 Telecommunications and I-55 Internet under management agreements from October 2005 until the consummation of the two acquisitions on March 31, 2006 (See note 7).

In May 2006, we increased our ownership interest in Story Telecom from 39.2% to 69.6%. Story Telecom operates as a division of our operations in the United Kingdom (see Note 8).

In May 2006, we and the shareholders of Equitalk, a privately held telephone company based in the United Kingdom, entered into agreement relating to the sale and purchase of Equitalk. The acquisition was completed on July 3, 2006, and on that date Equitalk become our wholly owned subsidiary (see Note 8).

The financial statements consolidate the operations of Xfone, Swiftnet, Xfone 018, Xfone USA, Equitalk and Story Telecom - (collectively the "Company").

Appendix B32


B. The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in Sterling ("pounds" or "£") since this is the currency of the prime economic environment, the U.K., in which the majority of the operations of the Company are conducted.
 
C. The financial statements have been translated into U.S. dollars using the rate of exchange of the U.S. dollar at September 30, 2006. The translation was made solely for the convenience of the readers. It should be noted that the £ figures do not necessarily represent the current cost amounts of the various elements presented and that the translated U.S. dollars figures should not be construed as a representation that the £ currency amounts actually represented, or could be converted into, U.S. dollars. The representative rate of exchange of the £ at September 30, 2006 was £1 = 1.883 US$.

Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the financial statements, applied on a consistent basis, are as follows:
 
 
A.
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. A minority interest in the loss of a subsidiary will be recorded according to the respective equity interest of the minority and up to its exposure and/or legal obligation to cover the subsidiary losses in case of equity reduced to zero or below.

The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared the Company without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations.  In the opinion of the management of the Company the accompanying statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2006, its results of operations and its cash flows for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, and its cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.  The results for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year.  The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto filed as a part of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.
 
 
B.
Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded at net realizable value consisting of the carrying amount less the allowance for uncollectible accounts.

The Company uses the allowance method to account for uncollectible accounts receivable balances. Under the allowance method, estimate of uncollectible customer balances is made using factors such as the credit quality of the customer and the economic conditions in the market. Accounts are considered past due once the unpaid balance is 90 days or more outstanding, unless payment terms are extended. When an account balance is past due and attempts have been made to collect the receivable through legal or other means the amount is considered uncollectible and is written off against the allowance balance.

As of September 30, 2006, the accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of £1,145,556 ($2,156,692).

Appendix B33


 
C.
Investments

Investments in affiliates over which we have a significant influence, but not a controlling interest, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. All equity investments are periodically reviewed to determine if declines in fair value below cost basis are other than temporary. If the decline in fair value is determined to be other than temporary, an impairment loss is recorded and the investment is written down to a new carrying value. In case of losses the equity of such investments is reduced to zero.
 
 
D.
Earnings Per Share

Basic earning per share (EPS) is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.
 
 
E.
Foreign Currency Translation

Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries operating outside the United Kingdom with a functional currency other than the pound are translated into pounds using period end exchange rates, costs and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate effective during the period. Foreign currency translation gains and losses are included in the shareholders' equity section.
 
Note 3 - Investments
 
The Company had investments in two business ventures as follows: Auracall Limited (“Auracall”) and Story Telecom, Inc., both entities operate in the UK.

On January 1, 2006, Auracall Limited, a U.K. based affiliated company, issued to the Managing Director of Auracall further shares from treasury to the level that Swiftnet was diluted from 47.5% to 32.5% holdings of Auracall. This issuance is in accordance with an agreement completed on August 21, 2003, providing that if certain pre-conditions are met, Auracall will issue to the Managing Director of Auracall, as a bonus, further shares from treasury to the level that he will hold 67.5% of Auracall and Swiftnet will hold 32.5% of Auracall. The dilution from 47.5% to 32.5% holdings of Auracall result is a loss of £29,848 ($56,194) recognized during the first quarter of 2006.

On May 10, 2006, the Company increased its ownership interest in Story Telecom from 39.2% to 69.6%. Story Telecom operates as a division of the Company’s operations in the United Kingdom (see also Note 8). The financial statements consolidate the operations of Story Telecom since May 10, 2006.

On May 25, 2006, the Company and the shareholders of Equitalk, a privately held telephone company based in the United Kingdom entered into agreement relating to the sale and purchase of Equitalk. The acquisition was completed on July 3, 2006, and on that date Equitalk became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and operate as a division of the Company’s operations in the United Kingdom (See also Note 8). The financial statements consolidate the operations of Equitalk since July 3, 2006.

Appendix B34


Note 4 - Commitments & Contingencies

 
A.
The Company's wholly-owned UK based subsidiary, Swiftnet Limited was served with a claim on October 11, 2005, that was filed by MCI WorldCom Limited (“MCI”) in an English court for the sum of £1,640,440 ($3,088,391) plus interest accruing at a daily rate of £401 ($755) which at the date of Claim had amounted to £92,317 ($173,802). MCI's claim is for telecommunication services MCI claims it provided to Swiftnet. Swiftnet has been in dispute with MCI regarding amounts due to MCI for telecommunications services provided by MCI to Swiftnet. Swiftnet alleges that the disputed charges were improperly billed by MCI to its account for a long time and therefore MCI should credit Swiftnet for a certain amount of the claim.  Swiftnet has defended the claim by stating that in relation to the invoices that MCI is claiming remain unpaid, £307,094 ($578,154) is not justified according to the rates agreed at various meetings and equates to an over-billing by such amount, although Swiftnet does not have written evidence for many of the agreed rates. Swiftnet has also submitted a counterclaim stating that it is owed a further £671,111 ($1,263,474) in credits in relation to amounts paid on account and wrongly attributed by MCI to over-billed invoices. In addition, MCI continues to send traffic to Swiftnet for termination via our Israeli subsidiary's network. Swiftnet is claiming that the amounts owed by MCI to Swiftnet in this regard should be set off against any amounts being claimed by MCI in the dispute.  There is a further counterclaim for additional accountancy costs and loss of management time incurred by Swiftnet due to the incorrect billing. The Company's financial statements have for some time carried the full amount due to MCI based on the invoices issued by MCI, as well as an appropriate provision for the credit the Company is claiming.

 
B.
According to an agreement between us, Xfone 018 Ltd. and our 26% minority interest partner in Xfone 018 (the "Minority Partner"), the Minority Partner provided in 2004 a bank guarantee of 10,000,000 New Israeli Shekels ("NIS") (£1,234,689) ($2,324,500) to the Ministry of Communications of the State of Israel which replaced an existing bank guarantee given by the Company in connection with Xfone 018’s license to provide international telecom services in Israel. As part of the agreement, the Company agreed to indemnify the Minority Partner for any damage caused to him due to the forfeiture of the bank guarantee with the Ministry of Communications on account of any act and/or omission of Xfone 018, provided that the said act or omission is performed against the opinion of the Minority Partner or without his knowledge. Further, the Company agreed that if at the end of the first two years of Xfone 018 business activity, its revenues shall be less than $2,000,000 (£1,062,327), or if it shall cease business activity (at any time), the Company shall secure the return of the bank guarantee to the Minority Partner.

 
C.
Xfone 018 has received credit facilities from Bank Hapoalim B.M. in Israel in order to finance its start-up activities. The credit facilities include a revolving credit line of 500,000 NIS, a short-term credit line of 2,250,000 NIS ($523,013), and long-term credit line of 790,000 NIS ($183,635). In addition, the bank made available to Xfone 018 a long-term facility of 3,150,000 NIS ($732,218) to procure equipment. The credit facilities are secured with: (a) a floating charge on Xfone 018 assets; (b) a fixed charge on its telecommunication equipment (including switches); (c) subordination of a Term Note of $800,000. This Term Note was executed in July 2004 by Xfone 018 in favor of the Company; (d) assignment of rights by way of pledge on the Partner Communications Company Ltd. contract, the Cellcom Israel Ltd. contract, the Pelephone Communications Ltd. contract, and the credit companies contracts with Xfone 018; (e) personal collateral by Abraham Keinan and Guy Nissenson, which includes a pledge on 1,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company owned by Mr. Keinan, and an undertaking to provide t Bank Hapoalim with an additional financial guarantee of up to $500,000 under certain circumstances. We agreed to indemnify Abraham Keinan and/or Guy Nissenson on account of any damage and/or loss and/or expense (including legal expenses) that they may incur in connection with the stock pledge and/or any other obligation made by them to Bank Hapoalim in connection with the collateral; (f) We and Swiftnet Limited issued a Letter of Guarantee, unlimited in amount, in favor of the bank, guaranteeing all debt and indebtedness of Xfone 018 towards the bank. As of September 30, 2006, we have a balance due of $1,179,698 under the credit facility.

 
D.

As part of this agreement, Swiftnet agreed to provide a loan of £24,000 to Auracall, free of interest, to be repaid within one year. The loan was funded on October 13, 2006.

A. In August 2006 the Company filed with the Israel Securities Authority ("ISA") and the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange ("TASE") a preliminary draft prospectus for a public offering of convertible debentures to be listed and traded on the TASE. The total amount proposed to be raised in the public offering is approximately $12 million. Up to date, the public offering is still subject to the approval of the ISA and the TASE, as well as the execution of an underwriting agreement and final pricing. On November 9, 2006 the Company was informed that the TASE decided to seek a No-Action Letter from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and that until such No-Action Letter is granted to the TASE the Company’s public offering is delayed. There can be no assurance that the public offering will be consummated.

B. On October 30, 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a grant of 25,000 options to Itzhak Almog, Director and Chairman of the Audit Committee, under and subject to the Company’s 2004 Stock Option Plan. The options were granted according to the following terms: Date of Grant - October 30, 2006; Option exercise price - $3.50; Vesting Date - 12 months from the Date of Grant; Expiration Date - 5 years from the Vesting Date.

For purposes of this Section 6.4, the Executive's designated beneficiary will be such individual beneficiary or trust, located at such address, as the Executive may designate by notice to the Employer from time to time or, if the Executive fails to give notice to the Employer of such a beneficiary, the Executive's estate. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Employer will have no duty, in any circumstances, to attempt to open an estate on behalf of the Executive, to determine whether any beneficiary designated by the Executive is alive or to ascertain the address of any such beneficiary, to determine the existence of any trust, to determine whether any person or entity purporting to act as the Executive's personal representative (or the trustee of a trust established by the Executive) is duly authorized to act in that capacity, or to locate or attempt to locate any beneficiary, personal representative, or trustee.

The Executive will only receive, as part of his termination pay pursuant to this Section 6, any payment or other compensation for any vacation, holiday, sick leave, or other leave unused on the date the notice of termination is given under this Agreement if the termination is due to the death of Executive or termination by the Executive for Good Reason per Section 6.3.

 
6.5
TERMINATION DAMAGES PAYABLE BY EXECUTIVE

The Executive and the Employer agree that it is impossible to determine with any reasonable accuracy the amount of the prospective damages to the Employer if the Executive's employment is terminated for any reason other than death or for good reason (as defined in Section 6.3) by the Executive (such termination referred to in this paragraph as "Executive Termination Without Cause"). In the event of any Executive Termination Without Cause, the Executive agrees to pay as liquidated damages to the Employer an amount equal as follows:

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS BY THE EXECUTIVE

The Executive acknowledges that (a) during the Employment Period and his prior employment period with the Employer's predecessor, the Company, and as a part of his employment with the Employer and its predecessor, the Company, the Executive was and will continue to be afforded access to Confidential Information; (b) public disclosure of such Confidential Information could have an adverse effect on the Employer and its business; (c) because the Executive possesses substantial technical expertise and skill with respect to the Employer's business, the Employer desires to obtain exclusive ownership of each Executive Invention, and the Employer will be at a substantial competitive disadvantage if it fails to acquire exclusive ownership of each Executive Invention; (d) the Parent and Employer have each required that the Executive make the covenants in this Section 7 as a condition to the merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement; and (e) the provisions of this Section 7 are reasonable and necessary to prevent the improper use or disclosure of Confidential Information and to provide the Employer with exclusive ownership of all Executive Inventions.

 
7.2

In consideration of the compensation and benefits to be paid or provided to the Executive by the Employer under this Agreement, the Executive covenants (in addition to but not in lieu of the covenants given under that certain Confidentiality, Non-Solicitation and Work-For-Hire Agreement dated 6/11/02 which the Executive agrees shall continue in favor of the Employer) as follows:

(ii) Any trade secrets of the Employer will be entitled to all of the protections and benefits under any applicable federal or state trade secret law and any other applicable law. If any information that the Employer deems to be a trade secret is found by a court of competent jurisdiction not to be a trade secret for purposes of this Agreement, such information will, nevertheless, be considered Confidential Information for purposes of this Agreement. The Executive hereby waives any requirement that the Employer submit proof of the economic value of any trade secret or post a bond or other security.

(iii) None of the foregoing obligations and restrictions applies to any part of the Confidential Information that the Executive demonstrates was or became generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by the Executive.

The Executive recognizes that, as between the Employer and the Executive, all of the Proprietary Items, whether or not developed by the Executive, are the exclusive property of the Employer. Upon termination of this Agreement by either party, or upon the request of the Employer during the Employment Period, the Executive will return to the Employer all of the Proprietary Items in the Executive's possession or subject to the Executive's control, and the Executive shall not retain any copies, abstracts, sketches, or other physical embodiment of any of the Proprietary Items.

(b) Executive Inventions. Each Executive Invention will belong exclusively to the Employer. The Executive acknowledges that all of the Executive's writing, works of authorship, and other Executive Inventions are works made for hire and the property of the Employer, including any copyrights, patents, or other intellectual property rights pertaining thereto. If it is determined that any such works are not works made for hire, the Executive hereby assigns to the Employer all of the Executive's right, title, and interest, including all rights of copyright, patent, and other intellectual property rights, to or in such Executive Inventions. The Executive covenants that he will promptly:

(i) disclose to the Employer in writing any Executive Invention;

(ii) assign to the Employer or to a party designated by the Employer, at the Employer's request and without additional compensation, all of the Executive's right to the Executive Invention for the United States and all foreign jurisdictions;

DISPUTES OR CONTROVERSIES

The Executive recognizes that should a dispute or controversy arising from or relating to this Agreement be submitted for adjudication to any court, arbitration panel, or other third party, the preservation of the secrecy of Confidential Information may be jeopardized. All pleadings, documents, testimony, and records relating to any such adjudication will be maintained in secrecy and will be available for inspection by the Employer, the Executive, and their respective attorneys and experts, who will agree, in advance and in writing, to receive and maintain all such information in secrecy, except as may be limited by them in writing.

NON-COMPETITION AND NON-INTERFERENCE

8.2
COVENANTS OF THE EXECUTIVE

In consideration of the acknowledgments by the Executive, and in consideration of the compensation and benefits to be paid or provided to the Executive by the Employer, the Executive covenants that he will not, directly or indirectly:
 
Appendix C12

(a) during the Employment Period, except in the course of his employment hereunder, and during the Post-Employment Period, directly or indirectly, either for himself or for any partnership, limited liability company, individual, corporation, joint venture or any other entity or person “participate in” (as defined below) any business (including, without limitation, any division, group or franchise of a larger organization) which engages in the "Telecommunications Business" in the Restricted Area. For purposes of this Agreement, “Telecommunications Business” shall mean the business of providing any type of telecommunication services or internet access services to any person or customer within the Restricted Area, including, without limitation, local, long distance, broadband, dial up data services, wireless, DSL, Voice-over-Internet Protocol (VoIP) and any other service or product being offered or provided by the Employer or the Parent or any of their respective affiliates. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “participate in” shall include, without limitation, having any direct or indirect interest in any corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture or other entity, whether as a sole proprietor, owner, shareholder, partner, member, manager, joint venturer, creditor or otherwise, or rendering any direct or indirect service or assistance to any individual corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture and other business entity (whether as a director, officer, manager, supervisor, Executive, agent, consultant or otherwise). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 8.2(a) shall prohibit Executive from owning not more than five percent (5%) of the debt or equity securities of a publicly traded corporation which may compete with the Employer or the Parent.

(b) whether for the Executive's own account or for the account of any other person, at any time during the Employment Period and the Post-Employment Period, solicit business of the same or similar type being carried on by the Employer or its Parent or any of their affiliates, from any person known by the Executive to be a customer of the Employer or its Parent or any of their affiliates, whether or not the Executive had personal contact with such person during and by reason of the Executive's employment with the Employer;

(c) whether for the Executive's own account or the account of any other person (i) at any time during the Employment Period and the Post-Employment Period, solicit, employ, or otherwise engage as an Executive, independent contractor, or otherwise, any person who is or was an Executive of the Employer at any time during the Employment Period or in the period of employment with the Employer's predecessor or in any manner induce or attempt to induce any Executive of the Employer to terminate his employment with the Employer; or (ii) at any time during the Employment Period and for the Post-Employment Period, interfere with the Employer's relationship with any person, including any person who at any time during the Employment Period or the period of employment with the Employer's predecessor was an Executive, contractor, supplier, or customer of the Employer or its predecessor; or

(d) at any time during or after the Employment Period, disparage the Employer or its Parent or any of their affiliates or any of their respective shareholders, directors, officers, Executives, or agents.

For purposes of this Section 8.2, the term "Post-Employment Period" means the two (2) year period beginning on the date of termination of the Executive's employment with the Employer.

If any covenant in this Section 8.2 is held to be unreasonable, arbitrary, or against public policy, such covenant will be considered to be divisible with respect to scope, time, and geographic area, and such lesser scope, time, or geographic area, or all of them, as a court of competent jurisdiction may determine to be reasonable, not arbitrary, and not against public policy, will be effective, binding, and enforceable against the Executive.

The period of time applicable to any covenant in this Section 8.2 will be extended by the duration of any violation by the Executive of such covenant.
 
Appendix C13

The Executive will, while the covenant under this Section 8.2 is in effect, give notice to the Employer, within ten days after accepting any other employment, of the identity of the Executive's employer. The Employer may notify such employer that the Executive is bound by this Agreement and, at the Employer's election, furnish such employer with a copy of this Agreement or relevant portions thereof.

(e) If at any time during the Employment Period and the Post-Employment Period, Executive desires to participate in an activity that he believes might be prohibited by this Section 8.2, such person may request in writing (a “Clarification Request”) a determination by Employer as to whether such proposed activity would violate this Section 8.2. Employer shall respond in writing to such Clarification Request (a “Clarification Response”) within thirty (30) days of receipt thereof.

 
9.
GENERAL PROVISIONS

 
9.1
INJUNCTIVE RELIEF AND ADDITIONAL REMEDY

The Executive acknowledges that the injury that would be suffered by the Employer as a result of a breach of the provisions of this Agreement (including any provision of Sections 7 and 8) would be irreparable and that an award of monetary damages to the Employer for such a breach would be an inadequate remedy. Consequently, the Employer will have the right, in addition to any other rights it may have, to obtain injunctive relief to restrain any breach or threatened breach or otherwise to specifically enforce any provision of this Agreement, and the Employer will not be obligated to post bond or other security in seeking such relief. Without limiting the Employer's rights under this Section 9 or any other remedies of the Employer, if the Executive breaches any of the provisions of Section 7 or 8, the Employer will have the right to cease making any payments otherwise due to the Executive under this Agreement.

 
9.2
COVENANTS OF SECTIONS 7 AND 8 ARE ESSENTIAL AND INDEPENDENT COVENANTS

The covenants by the Executive in Sections 7 and 8 are essential elements of this Agreement, and without the Executive's agreement to comply with such covenants, the Parent and Employer would not have consummated the merger under the Merger Agreement and the Employer would not have entered into this Agreement or employed or continued the employment of the Executive. The Employer and the Executive have independently consulted their respective counsel and have been advised in all respects concerning the reasonableness and propriety of such covenants, with specific regard to the nature of the business conducted by the Employer.

The Executive's covenants in Sections 7 and 8 are independent covenants and the existence of any claim by the Executive against the Employer under this Agreement or otherwise, or against the Parent, will not excuse the Executive's breach of any covenant in Section 7 or 8.

If the Executive's employment hereunder expires or is terminated, this Agreement will continue in full force and effect as is necessary or appropriate to enforce the covenants and agreements of the Executive in Sections 7 and 8.

 
Appendix C14

 
 
9.3
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES BY THE EXECUTIVE

(a) The Executive represents and warrants to the Employer that the execution and delivery by the Executive of this Agreement do not, and the performance by the Executive of the Executive's obligations hereunder will not, with or without the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both: (a) violate any judgment, writ, injunction, or order of any court, arbitrator, or governmental agency applicable to the Executive; or (b) conflict with, result in the breach of any provisions of or the termination of, or constitute a default under, any agreement to which the Executive is a party or by which the Executive is or may be bound.

(b) The Employer represents and warrants to the Executive that the execution and delivery by the Employer of this Agreement do not, and the performance by the Employer of the Employer's obligations hereunder will not, with or without the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both: (a) violate any judgment, writ, injunction, or order of any court, arbitrator, or governmental agency applicable to the Employer; or (b) conflict with, result in the breach of any provisions of or the termination of, or constitute a default under, any agreement to which the Employer is a party or by which the Employer is or may be bound.

 
9.4
OBLIGATIONS CONTINGENT ON PERFORMANCE

The obligations of the Employer hereunder, including its obligation to pay the compensation provided for herein, are contingent upon the Executive's performance of the Executive's obligations hereunder.

 
9.5
WAIVER

The rights and remedies of the parties to this Agreement are cumulative and not alternative. Neither the failure nor any delay by either party in exercising any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right, power, or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power, or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power, or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a) no claim or right arising out of this Agreement can be discharged by one party, in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in writing signed by the other party; (b) no waiver that may be given by a party will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given; and (c) no notice to or demand on one party will be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of such party or of the right of the party giving such notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Agreement.
 
 
Appendix C15

 
9.6
BINDING EFFECT; DELEGATION OF DUTIES PROHIBITED
 
This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, and legal representatives, including any entity with which the Employer may merge or consolidate or to which all or substantially all of its assets may be transferred. The duties and covenants of the Executive under this Agreement, being personal, may not be delegated.

(c) whether for the Executive's own account or the account of any other person (i) at any time during the Employment Period and the Post-Employment Period, solicit, employ, or otherwise engage as an Executive, independent contractor, or otherwise, any person who is or was an Executive of the Employer at any time during the Employment Period or in the period of employment with the Employer's predecessor or in any manner induce or attempt to induce any Executive of the Employer to terminate his employment with the Employer; or (ii) at any time during the Employment Period and for the Post-Employment Period, interfere with the Employer's relationship with any person, including any person who at any time during the Employment Period or the period of employment with the Employer's predecessor was an Executive, contractor, supplier, or customer of the Employer or its predecessor; or

(d) at any time during or after the Employment Period, disparage the Employer or its Parent or any of their affiliates or any of their respective shareholders, directors, officers, Executives, or agents.

For purposes of this Section 8.2, the term "Post-Employment Period" means the two (2) year period beginning on the date of termination of the Executive's employment with the Employer.

If any covenant in this Section 8.2 is held to be unreasonable, arbitrary, or against public policy, such covenant will be considered to be divisible with respect to scope, time, and geographic area, and such lesser scope, time, or geographic area, or all of them, as a court of competent jurisdiction may determine to be reasonable, not arbitrary, and not against public policy, will be effective, binding, and enforceable against the Executive.

The period of time applicable to any covenant in this Section 8.2 will be extended by the duration of any violation by the Executive of such covenant.
The Executive will, while the covenant under this Section 8.2 is in effect, give notice to the Employer, within ten days after accepting any other employment, of the identity of the Executive's employer. The Employer may notify such employer that the Executive is bound by this Agreement and, at the Employer's election, furnish such employer with a copy of this Agreement or relevant portions thereof.

(e) If at any time during the Employment Period and the Post-Employment Period, Executive desires to participate in an activity that he believes might be prohibited by this Section 8.2, such person may request in writing (a “Clarification Request”) a determination by Employer as to whether such proposed activity would violate this Section 8.2. Employer shall respond in writing to such Clarification Request (a “Clarification Response”) within thirty (30) days of receipt thereof.

 
9.
GENERAL PROVISIONS

 
9.1
INJUNCTIVE RELIEF AND ADDITIONAL REMEDY

The Executive acknowledges that the injury that would be suffered by the Employer as a result of a breach of the provisions of this Agreement (including any provision of Sections 7 and 8) would be irreparable and that an award of monetary damages to the Employer for such a breach would be an inadequate remedy. Consequently, the Employer will have the right, in addition to any other rights it may have, to obtain injunctive relief to restrain any breach or threatened breach or otherwise to specifically enforce any provision of this Agreement, and the Employer will not be obligated to post bond or other security in seeking such relief. Without limiting the Employer's rights under this Section 9 or any other remedies of the Employer, if the Executive breaches any of the provisions of Section 7 or 8, the Employer will have the right to cease making any payments otherwise due to the Executive under this Agreement.

Appendix D11

 
9.2
COVENANTS OF SECTIONS 7 AND 8 ARE ESSENTIAL AND INDEPENDENT COVENANTS

The covenants by the Executive in Sections 7 and 8 are essential elements of this Agreement, and without the Executive's agreement to comply with such covenants, the Parent and Employer would not have consummated the merger under the Merger Agreement and the Employer would not have entered into this Agreement or employed or continued the employment of the Executive. The Employer and the Executive have independently consulted their respective counsel and have been advised in all respects concerning the reasonableness and propriety of such covenants, with specific regard to the nature of the business conducted by the Employer.

The Executive's covenants in Sections 7 and 8 are independent covenants and the existence of any claim by the Executive against the Employer under this Agreement or otherwise, or against the Parent, will not excuse the Executive's breach of any covenant in Section 7 or 8.

If the Executive's employment hereunder expires or is terminated, this Agreement will continue in full force and effect as is necessary or appropriate to enforce the covenants and agreements of the Executive in Sections 7 and 8.

 
9.3
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES BY THE EXECUTIVE

(a) The Executive represents and warrants to the Employer that the execution and delivery by the Executive of this Agreement do not, and the performance by the Executive of the Executive's obligations hereunder will not, with or without the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both: (a) violate any judgment, writ, injunction, or order of any court, arbitrator, or governmental agency applicable to the Executive; or (b) conflict with, result in the breach of any provisions of or the termination of, or constitute a default under, any agreement to which the Executive is a party or by which the Executive is or may be bound.

(b) The Employer represents and warrants to the Executive that the execution and delivery by the Employer of this Agreement do not, and the performance by the Employer of the Employer's obligations hereunder will not, with or without the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both: (a) violate any judgment, writ, injunction, or order of any court, arbitrator, or governmental agency applicable to the Employer; or (b) conflict with, result in the breach of any provisions of or the termination of, or constitute a default under, any agreement to which the Employer is a party or by which the Employer is or may be bound.

 
9.4
OBLIGATIONS CONTINGENT ON PERFORMANCE

The obligations of the Employer hereunder, including its obligation to pay the compensation provided for herein, are contingent upon the Executive's performance of the Executive's obligations hereunder.

 
9.5
WAIVER

The rights and remedies of the parties to this Agreement are cumulative and not alternative. Neither the failure nor any delay by either party in exercising any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right, power, or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power, or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power, or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a) no claim or right arising out of this Agreement can be discharged by one party, in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in writing signed by the other party; (b) no waiver that may be given by a party will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given; and (c) no notice to or demand on one party will be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of such party or of the right of the party giving such notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Agreement.

 
9.6
BINDING EFFECT; DELEGATION OF DUTIES PROHIBITED
 
1.1
 
 
This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, and legal representatives, including any entity with which the Employer may merge or consolidate or to which all or substantially all of its assets may be transferred. The duties and covenants of the Executive under this Agreement, being personal, may not be delegated.
