PROXY STATEMENT

ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
 
To be held on December 17, 2007
 
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 17, 2007, 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 October 25, 2007 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to vote at the Meeting. As of October 29, 2007, there were issued and outstanding 11,524,971 shares of the Company's common stock, $0.001 par value per share (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 Stockholder'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 Stockholders vote “FOR” each of the Proposals.

Copies of the Company’s Annual Reports on Form 10-KSB and Form 10-KSB/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, including financial statements, which are incorporated by reference into this Proxy Statement and made a part hereof, are being mailed concurrently herewith to all Stockholders of record on the Record Date.
 
Additional information about the Company is contained in its current and periodic reports filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). These reports, their accompanying exhibits and other documents filed with the Commission may be inspected without charge at the Public Reference Section of the Commission at Judiciary Plaza, 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, DC 20549. Copies of such material may also be obtained from the Commission at prescribed rates. The Commission also maintains a Web site that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding public companies that file reports with the Commission. Copies of these reports may be obtained from the Commission's EDGAR archives at http://www.sec.gov/index.htm
 
The principal executive office of the Company is located at:

2506 Lakeland Drive, Suite 100
Flowood, MS  39232
U.S.A.

Telephone Number: 601-983-3800
 
This Proxy Statement, the accompanying Notice of Meeting and the proxy card will be first sent to the Shareholders on or about November 9, 2007.
 
The date of this Proxy Statement is October 30, 2007

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT 
 
Only Stockholders of record at the close of business on October 25, 2007 are entitled to vote at the Meeting. The total number of shares of Common Stock of the Company, issued and outstanding as of October 29, 2007, was 11,524,971 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 Articles 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 October 29, 2007, 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 11,524,971 shares issued and outstanding as of October 29, 2007.
 
The following table sets forth the ownership of our Common Stock as of the date of this Proxy Statement by: stockholder known by us to own beneficially more than 5% of our common stock; executive officer; director or nominee to become a director; and directors and executive officers as a group.

PROPOSAL I
 
APPROVAL OF NOMINEES TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

General

On October 25, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted amendments to the Company’s Bylaws in order to, among other things, provide that the Board shall be comprised of not less than two (2), and no more than eight (8) directors, and to create a classified board by dividing the Board’s current membership into three classes, Class A, Class B and Class C.  Currently, Classes A and B are each comprised of three (3) directors, and Class C has two (2) directors.

The Board of Directors adopted a classified Board because it believes that it will help to assure the continuity and stability of the Company’s long-term policies, as a majority of the directors at any given time will have prior experience as directors of the Company. The Board of Directors believes that this added continuity will permit more effective long-term strategic planning. In addition, the Board of Directors believes that a classified board will assist it in protecting the interests of the Company’s stockholders in the event of an unsolicited offer to acquire the Company. Because a potential acquirer would ordinarily be able to replace a maximum of only two or three directors at any one annual meeting, it may be required to nominate new candidates for election as directors at two annual meetings in order to take control of the Board of Directors. A potential acquirer would have a significant incentive to negotiate the terms of a transaction with our Board of Directors rather than pursue such a strategy. Accordingly, the Board of Directors believes that the adoption of a classified board would enhance its ability to obtain favorable terms for stockholders in any such transaction. Similarly, the Board of Directors believes that the classified board would better enable it to resist any proposed transaction that it determines is not in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

The full Board of eight (8) directors is to be re-elected at this Meeting. Starting with the 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the director nominees in each class up for election will be elected for three years and serve until re-elected or the election and qualification of their successors, or until their earlier resignation, removal or death. However, in the election of directors at this Meeting and in order to create a staggered board, the following director nominees are up for election for the following terms:

Director
Class
Term
Abraham Keinan
Class A
One year; eligible for re-election at the 2008 Annual Meeting
Guy Nissenson

Schwartz, Itzhak Almog, Aviu Ben-Horrin, Israel Singer and Morris Mansour.

Board Meetings and Attendance

During fiscal 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors held 20 physical and telephonic meetings.  The Board also approved certain actions by unanimous written consent.  With the exception of Aviu Ben-Horrin, all incumbent directors attended, either in person or via telephone, at least 75% of all meetings of the Board that were held in fiscal 2006 during the period in which they served as a director. Mr. Ben-Horrin attended at least 60% of all meetings of the Board during fiscal 2006.

Committees of the Board of Directors

We have an Audit Committee that was formed in a November 24, 2004 Board of Directors meeting. The Audit Committee is composed of three directors: Messrs. Almog, Schwartz and Singer (all 3 are considered independent directors). Mr. Almog who satisfies the “financial sophistication” requirement was appointed as the Chairman of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee makes decisions regarding compensation, our audit, the appointment of auditors, and the inclusion of financial statements in our periodic reports. Issues regarding our 2004 Stock Option Plan are decided by the entire Board of Directors, including the members of the Audit Committee. The Charter of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company is attached hereto as Appendix F.

During fiscal 2006, the Company’s Audit Committee held 7 physical and telephonic meetings.

The Company is a “Controlled Company” as a result of the September 28, 2004 Voting Agreement between Abraham Keinan, Guy Nissenson and Campbeltown Business Ltd., and the fact that certain stockholders provided Mr. Nissenson and Mr. Keinan with irrevocable proxies. Accordingly, the Company relies on the exception provided by this Section 801 provision, and does not have a standing nominating committee or compensation committee. Matters relating to the nominations of directors are determined by the entire Board of Directors. The Audit Committee makes decisions with respect to compensation matters for the Company’s officers and directors.

Stockholder Communications with the Board

The Company has not implemented a policy or procedure by which our stockholders can communicate directly with our Directors. Nevertheless, every effort has been made to ensure that the views of stockholders are heard by the Board of Directors or individual Directors, as applicable, and that appropriate responses are provided to stockholders in a timely manner. The Company believes it is responsive to stockholder communications, and therefore the Company has not considered it necessary to adopt a formal process for stockholder communications with the Board of Directors. During the upcoming year the Board of Directors will continue to monitor whether it would be appropriate to adopt such a process.

Audit Committee Financial Expert

Mr. Itzhak Almog who satisfies the “financial sophistication” requirement is the Audit Committee financial expert as defined by Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-B of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Chairman of the Audit Committee.

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.

Our Code of Conduct and Ethics was previously filed on the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 15, 2006, and is also available on our website at www.xfone.com.

On May 11, 2000, Swiftnet Limited and our Chairman of the Board of Directors, Abraham Keinan, entered into an employment agreement with Guy Nissenson, our President, Chief Executive Officer, and Director (the “May 11, 2000 Employment Agreement”). 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 per month (approximately $2,039). The May 11, 2000 Employment Agreement provided that when Swiftnet reaches average sales of £175,000 per month for a consecutive three-month period, Mr. Nissenson’s salary will increase to £2,000 (approximately $4,078) per month. The May 11, 2000 Employment Agreement further provided that Mr. Nissenson will receive an unspecified number of options to acquire our stock that is limited to 50% of the options that Mr. Keinan receives. As such, the agreement protected Mr. Nissenson’s rights to have at least 50% of the options rights that Mr. Keinan will have. Mr. Nissenson can transfer the right of these options to another company or person at his discretion. 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. Because the average sales per month exceeded £120,000 within a twelve-month period of Mr. Nissenson’s employment, Swiftnet cannot cancel these options.

Pursuant to a Company’s Board of Directors’ resolution dated December 25, 2006, on March 28, 2007, Swiftnet and Mr. Nissenson entered into an employment agreement, to be effective as of January 1, 2007 (the “Nissenson Employment Agreement”).

PROPOSAL III

APPROVAL OF THE COMPANY’S 2007 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
 
GENERAL
 
At the Meeting a vote will be taken on a Proposal to approve the Company's 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”), under which the Board of Directors, which has the authority to implement, interpret and administer the 2007 Plan, is authorized to grant Options, Stock Awards and Performance Shares to “Participants” under the 2007 Plan.  These awards are described below and are collectively referred to as “Awards.”

The Board of Directors adopted and approved the 2007 Plan at a Board meeting on October 28, 2007, subject to the approval of the Company’s Stockholders.  A copy of the 2007 Plan is attached hereto as Appendix E.
 
PURPOSES OF THE 2007 PLAN
 
The 2007 Plan is intended to promote the best interests of the Company and its Stockholders by (i) assisting the Company and its affiliates in the recruitment and/or retention of persons with ability and initiative, (ii) providing an incentive to such persons to contribute to the growth and success of the Company’s businesses by affording such persons equity participation in the Company, and (iii) associating the interests of such persons with those of the Company and its affiliates and Stockholders.

The benefits to be derived from the 2007 Plan by our officers and directors, if any, are not quantifiable or determinable at this time.

ADMINISTRATION OF THE 2007 PLAN
 
The Board has the sole authority to implement and/or interpret and/or administer the 2007 Plan unless the Board delegates all or any portion of its authority to a committee of the Board. The Board may delegate all or a portion of its authority to a committee of the Board appointed by the Board and constituted in compliance with the applicable Corporation Law (the “Committee”). The Committee must consist of two (2) or more directors who are (i) “Non-Employee Directors” (within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) for purposes of exercising administrative authority with respect to Awards granted to Eligible Persons who are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act; (ii) to the extent required by the rules of the market on which the Company’s shares are traded or the exchange on which the Company’s shares are listed, “independent” within the meaning of such rules; and (iii) at such times as an Award under the 2007 Plan by the Company is subject to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and any amendments thereto (the “Code”) (to the extent relief from the limitation of Section 162(m) of the Code is sought with respect to Awards and administration of the Awards by a committee of “outside directors” is required to receive such relief) “outside directors” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code.

The Committee may delegate to one or more of the Company’s officers the authority to grant Awards to Eligible Persons who are not directors or executive officers of the Company or its Affiliates, however, to do so the Committee must fix the total number of shares of Common Stock that may be subject to such Awards.  No officer holding such a delegation is authorized to grant Awards to himself or herself or to any of his or her family members.

The Committee (and the officers to whom the Committee has delegated such authority) shall have the authority:

(i) To construe and interpret all provisions of the 2007 Plan and all Award Agreements.

(ii) To determine the Fair Market Price of Common Stock in the absence of an established market for the Common Stock.

-40-

(iii) To select the Eligible Persons to whom Awards are granted from time to time hereunder, upon the recommendation of the Company’s management.

(iv) To determine the number of shares of Common Stock covered by an Award; to determine whether an Option shall be an Incentive Stock Option (‘ISO”) or Nonqualified Stock Option (“NQSO”); and to determine such other terms and conditions of each such Award. Such terms and conditions include, but are not limited to, the exercise price of an Option, purchase price of Common Stock subject to a Stock Award, the time or times when Options or Stock Awards may be exercised or Common Stock issued thereunder, the right of the Company to repurchase Common Stock issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option or a Stock Award and other restrictions or limitations on the forfeitability or transferability of Options, Stock Awards or Common Stock issued upon exercise of an Option or pursuant to a Stock Award. Such terms may include conditions which shall be determined by the Committee and need not be uniform with respect to Participants.

(v) To accelerate the time at which any Option or Stock Award may be exercised, or the time at which a Stock Award or Common Stock issued under the 2007 Plan may become transferable or non-forfeitable.

(vi) To determine whether and under what circumstances an Option may be settled in cash, shares of Common Stock or other property instead of Common Stock.

(vii) To waive, amend, cancel, extend, renew, accept the surrender of, modify or accelerate the vesting of or lapse of restrictions on all or any portion of an outstanding Award. Except as otherwise provided by the 2007 Plan, the Award Agreement or as required to comply with applicable law, regulation or rule, no amendment, cancellation or modification shall, without a Participant’s consent, adversely affect any rights of the Participant; provided, however, that (x) an amendment or modification that may cause an Incentive Stock Option to become a Nonqualified Stock Option shall not be treated as adversely affecting the rights of the Participant and (y) any other amendment or modification of any Award Agreement that does not, in the opinion of the Committee, adversely affect any rights of any Participant, shall not require such Participant’s consent.

(viii) To prescribe the form of Award Agreements or any other agreements under the 2007 Plan; to adopt policies and procedures for the exercise of Options or Stock Awards, including the satisfaction of withholding obligations; to adopt, amend, and rescind policies and procedures pertaining to the administration of the 2007 Plan; and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the 2007 Plan.

ELIGIBILITY
 
Awards, other than ISOs, may be granted to any Eligible Person selected by the Committee upon the recommendation of the Company’s management. ISOs may be granted only to employees of the Company or a parent or a subsidiary, upon the recommendation of the Company’s management.

An “Eligible Person” under the 2007 Plan is an employee of the Company, an “Affiliate” (which is defined in the 2007 Plan and includes, among others, a parent and subsidiary of the Company, corporations or businesses that are controlled by the Company or one of its Affiliates, any other entity that the Board designates an Affiliate, and any executive officer, director or 10% shareholder of the Company), a director, or a consultant to the Company.

The Company and its Subsidiaries currently have 30 employees in the United Kingdom, 77 employees in the United States, and 41 employees in Israel. Each of these employees, as well as the 8 directors serving on the Company’s Board of Directors, may be deemed to be an Eligible Person for purposes of the 2007 Plan. In addition, a vote will be taken at the Meeting on a proposal to approve the Company’s acquisition of NTS Communications, Inc. (“NTS”), which currently has approximately 300 employees (Please see Proposal IV - Approval of the Acquisition of NTS Communications, Inc.).  If the proposal is approved, upon consummation of the acquisition, NTS will become a subsidiary of the Company, and each of its employees may be deemed to be an Eligible Person for purposes of the 2007 Plan.

-41-

A “Participant” in the 2007 Plan is an Eligible Person who is selected by the Committee to receive an Award, and is party to an agreement (an “Award Agreement,” which will be entered into in connection with each type of Award under the 2007 Plan), setting forth the terms of such person’s Award.

A consultant may be an Eligible Person only if the offer or sale of the Company’s securities would be eligible for registration on Form S-8 Registration Statement (or any successor form) because of the identity and nature of the services provided by such consultant, unless the Company determines that an offer or sale of its securities to such consultant would satisfy another exemption from the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and complies with the securities laws of all other jurisdictions applicable to such offer or sale. Awards to consultants shall be granted upon the recommendation of the Company’s management.

The Committee may make Awards under the 2007 Plan by assumption, in substitution or replacement of performance shares, phantom shares, stock awards, stock options, stock appreciation rights or similar awards granted by another entity (including an Affiliate) in connection with a merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock or similar transaction. Notwithstanding any provision of the 2007 Plan (other than the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the 2007 Plan), the terms of such assumed, substituted, or replaced Awards shall be as the Committee, in its discretion, determines is appropriate.

SHARES OF COMMON STOCK SUBJECT TO THE 2007 PLAN
 
The 2007 Plan authorizes the issuance of Awards under the 2007 Plan for up to a total of eight (8) million shares of Common Stock underlying such Awards. The number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which Awards may be granted under the  2007 Plan is subject to adjustment for changes in the Company’s capitalization, merger, consolidation or asset sale, as set forth in Section 9 of the 2007 Plan, see Appendix E.  No single Participant may receive more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the total shares awarded in any single year. 

In the event that any outstanding Award expires or is terminated for any reason, the unissued or unpurchased shares of Common Stock underlying those Awards will become available for future grant under the 2007 Plan, and accordingly may again be subject to an Award granted to the same Participant or to another Eligible Person under the 2007 Plan.

OPTIONS

The Committee will designate each Eligible Person to whom an Option is to be granted upon the recommendation of the Company’s management, and will specify the number of shares of Common Stock covered by such Option. The Stock Option Agreement shall specify whether the Option is an ISO or NQSO, the exercise price of the such Option, the vesting schedule applicable to such Option, the expiration date of such Option, events of termination of such Option, and any other terms of such Option. The terms and conditions of Stock Option Agreements may change from time to time and need not be uniform with respect to Participants, and the terms and conditions of separate Options need not be identical. No Option that is intended to be an ISO shall be invalid for failure to qualify as an ISO but instead shall be deemed a NQSO.

The Board of Directors believes that the ability to grant Options to employees who qualify for ISO treatment provides an additional material incentive to certain key employees. The Code requires that ISOs be granted pursuant to an option plan that receives stockholder approval within one year of its adoption. The Stockholders are hereby requested to approve the 2007 Plan in order to comply with this statutory requirement and preserve the Company's ability to grant ISOs, and in order to comply with the American Stock Exchange rules which require such an approval.

Date of Grant of Option
 
The “Date of Grant” is the date that the Committee approves an Option grant, provided that all terms of such grants, including the amount of shares, the exercise price and vesting are determined at such time.

Option Price

The exercise price per share of Common Stock subject to an Option shall be determined by the Committee, but shall comply with the following:

(i) The exercise price per share for Common Stock subject to an Option (other than an ISO to a 10% shareholder) shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Price (as defined in the 2007 Plan) on the Date of Grant.

(ii) The exercise price per share for Common Stock subject to an ISO granted to a Participant who is deemed to be a 10% shareholder on the Date of Grant, shall not be less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Price on the Date of Grant.

“Fair Market Price” means, on any given date, the current fair market price of the shares of Common Stock as determined as follows:

(i) If the Common Stock is traded on a national securities exchange, including the American Stock Exchange, the closing price for the day of determination as quoted on such market or exchange, whichever is the primary market or exchange for trading of the Common Stock (provided that the Common Stock continues to be listed on the American Stock Exchange it shall be deemed to be the primary market or exchange) or if no trading occurs on such date, the last day on which trading occurred, or such other appropriate date as determined by the Committee in its discretion, as reported by such market or exchange or such other source as the Committee deems reliable;

(ii) If the Common Stock is regularly quoted by a recognized securities dealer but selling prices are not reported, its Fair Market Price shall be the mean between the high and the low asked prices for the Common Stock for the day of determination; or

(iii) In the absence of an established market for the Common Stock, Fair Market Price shall be determined by the Committee in good faith.

Duration of Options
 
 Unless a shorter period is provided by the Stock Option Agreement, the maximum period during which an Option may be exercised shall be seven (7) years from the Date of Grant. In the case of an ISO that is granted to a 10% shareholder on the Date of Grant, such Option shall not be exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years from the Date of Grant.

-43-

Maximum Value of ISOs

To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Price of the Common Stock with respect to which ISOs granted to any Participant are exercisable for the first time during any calendar year (under all stock option plans of the Company or any parent or subsidiary) exceeds $100,000 (or such other amount provided in Section 422 of the Code), the Options shall not be deemed to be ISO. For purposes of this section of the 2007 Plan, the Fair Market Price of the Common Stock will be determined as of the time the ISO with respect to the Common Stock is granted. This section of the 2007 Plan will be applied by taking ISOs into account in the order in which they are granted.

Non-transferability of Options
 
Options granted under the 2007 Plan which are intended to be ISOs are nontransferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and during the lifetime of the Participant are exercisable by only the Participant to whom the ISO is granted.

Except to the extent transferability of NQSO is provided for in the Stock Option Agreement or is approved by the Committee, during the lifetime of the Participant to whom the NQSO is granted, such Option may be exercised only by the Participant.  If the Stock Option Agreement so provides or the Committee so approves, a NQSO may be transferred by a Participant through a gift or domestic relations order to the Participant’s family members to the extent in compliance with applicable securities laws and regulations and provided that such transfer is not a transfer for value (within the meaning of applicable securities laws and regulations). Any holder of a NQSO that was transferred pursuant to this section of the 2007 Plan shall be bound by the same terms and conditions that governed the Option during the period that it was held by the Participant.

In addition, ISOs or NQSOs are not subject to execution, attachment or similar process, unless such obligation is to the Company itself or to an Affiliate.

Vesting and Termination of Options
 
Options will vest and terminate as provided in the Stock Option Agreement, which shall provide for specific vesting and termination provisions.

Exercise of Options and Payment upon Exercise

Options may be exercised in whole or in part at any time after vesting, prior to termination, and in compliance with such requirements as the Committee shall determine. A partial exercise of an Option shall not affect the right to exercise the Option from time to time with respect to the remaining shares subject to the Option. The Participant may face certain restrictions on his/her/its ability to exercise Options and/or sell underlying shares when such Participant is potentially in possession of insider information. The Company will make the Participant aware of any formal insider trading policy it adopts, and the provisions of such insider trading policy (including any amendments thereto) shall be binding upon the Participant.

Upon the exercise of any Option, payment of the exercise price for an Option shall be made in cash or a cash equivalent acceptable to the Committee, or if the Common Stock is traded on an established securities market, by payment of the exercise price by a broker-dealer or by the Option holder with cash advanced by the broker-dealer if the exercise notice is accompanied by the Option holder’s written irrevocable instructions to deliver the Common Stock acquired upon exercise of the Option to the broker-dealer or by delivery of the Common Stock to the broker-dealer with an irrevocable commitment by the broker-dealer to forward the exercise price to the Company. With the consent of the Committee, payment of all or a part of the exercise price of an Option may also be made (i) by surrender to the Company (or delivery to the Company of a properly executed form of attestation of ownership) of shares of Common Stock that have been held for such period prior to the date of exercise as is necessary to avoid adverse accounting treatment to the Company, or (ii) any other method acceptable to the Committee, including without limitation, the withholding of shares receivable upon settlement of the option in payment of the exercise price. If Common Stock is used to pay all or part of the exercise price, the sum of the cash or cash equivalent and the Fair Market Price (determined as of the date of exercise) of the shares surrendered must not be less than the Option price of the shares for which the Option is being exercised.

-44-

No Rights as a Shareholder; Voting Proxy
 
A Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to any Common Shares covered by an Option until the date of exercise and the Company has issued the certificate for the Participant’s shares of Common Stock.

Notification to Company upon Disposition of an ISO

Participants are required to notify the Company of any sale or other disposition of Common Stock acquired pursuant to an ISO if such sale or disposition occurs within two years of the Date of Grant or within one year of the issuance of the Common Stock.  The Company may require that certificates evidencing shares of Common Stock purchased upon the exercise of ISO be endorsed with a restrictive legend.

Repricing of Options

The 2007 Plan provides that the Committee may not permit a Repricing of any Option without the approval of the Company’s Stockholders.

STOCK AWARDS

The 2007 Plan also provides for four types of Stock Awards, each to be granted upon the recommendation of the Company’s management:  Stock Bonus Awards, Restricted Stock Awards, Stock Appreciation Rights and Deferred Shares.   Stock Bonus Awards, Restricted Stock Awards and Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted by the Committee with such terms and conditions as the Committee deems appropriate.  These terms shall be set forth in each respective Stock Award Agreement.  The terms and conditions for Stock Bonus Awards, Restricted Stock Awards and Stock Appreciate Rights may change from time to time, with respect to each type of award, and from Participant to Participant who receive each type of award, and the terms and conditions of separate awards in each category need not be identical.

Provisions Particular to Restricted Stock Awards

Vesting of any grant of Restricted Stock Awards may be further conditioned upon the attainment of Performance Objectives (as defined in the 2007 Plan) established by the Committee in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 8 of the 2007 Plan regarding Performance Shares. (See “Performance Shares” below.)

Provisions Particular to Stock Appreciation Rights

Stock Appreciation Rights are exercisable for seven (7) years from the date such Stock Appreciation Right is granted. The base price per share for each share of Common Stock covered by an award of Stock Appreciation Rights shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Price of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant.  Stock Appreciation Rights may not be repriced without the approval of the Company’s Stockholders.

The Participant will not have any rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the shares of Common Stock covered by a Appreciation Rights and will not have voting rights with respect to such shares until exercise, however, if the payment made to reflect the increase in Fair Market Price is made in shares of Common Stock, then the Participant will have all rights as a stockholder with respect to such shares.

-45-

Deferred Shares

The Committee may authorize grants of Deferred Shares to Participants upon the recommendation of the Company’s management and upon such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine in accordance with the following provisions:

(i) Each grant shall constitute the agreement by the Company to issue or transfer shares of Common Stock to the Participant in the future in consideration of the performance of services, subject to the fulfillment during the Deferral Period of such conditions as the Committee may specify.

(ii) Each grant may be made without additional consideration from the Participant or in consideration of a payment by the Participant that is less than the Fair Market Price on the date of grant.

(iii) Each grant shall provide that the Deferred Shares covered thereby shall be subject to a Deferral Period, which shall be fixed by the Committee on the date of grant, and any grant or sale may provide for the earlier termination of such period in the event of a change in control of the Company or other similar transaction or event.

(iv) During the Deferral Period, the Participant shall not have any right to transfer any rights under the subject Award, shall not have any rights of ownership in the Deferred Shares and shall not have any right to vote such shares, but the Committee may on or after the date of grant, authorize the payment of dividend or other distribution equivalents on such shares in cash or additional shares on a current, deferred or contingent basis.

(v) Any grant, or the vesting thereof, may be further conditioned upon the attainment of Performance Objectives established by the Committee in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 8 of the 2007 Plan regarding Performance Shares.

(vi) Each grant shall be evidenced by an agreement delivered to and accepted by the Participant and containing such terms and provisions as the Committee may determine consistent with the 2007 Plan. The terms and conditions of the agreements for Deferred Shares may change from time to time and need not be uniform with respect to Participants, and the terms and conditions of separate Deferred Shares need not be identical.

PERFORMANCE SHARES

The Committee may authorize grants of Performance Shares upon the recommendation of the Company’s management, which shall become payable to the Participant upon the achievement of specified Performance Objectives, upon such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine in accordance with the following provisions:

(i) Each grant shall specify the number of Performance Shares to which it pertains, which may be subject to adjustment to reflect changes in compensation or other factors.

(ii) The Performance Period with respect to each Performance Share shall commence on the date established by the Committee and may be subject to earlier termination in the event of a change in control of the Corporation or similar transaction or event.

-46-

(iii) Each grant shall specify the Performance Objectives that are to be achieved by the Participant.

(iv) Each grant may specify in respect of the specified Performance Objectives a minimum acceptable level of achievement below which no payment will be made and may set forth a formula for determining the amount of any payment to be made if performance is at or above such minimum acceptable level but falls short of the maximum achievement of the specified Performance Objectives.

(v) Each grant shall specify the time and manner of payment of Performance Shares that shall have been earned, and any grant may specify that any such amount may be paid by the Corporation in cash, shares of Common Stock or any combination thereof and may either grant to the Participant or reserve to the Committee the right to elect among those alternatives.

(vi) Any grant of Performance Shares may specify that the amount payable with respect thereto may not exceed a maximum specified by the Committee on the date of grant.

(vii) Any grant of Performance Shares may provide for the payment to the Participant of dividend or other distribution equivalents thereon in cash or additional shares of Common Stock on a current, deferred or contingent basis.

(viii) If provided in the terms of the grant and subject to the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code (in the case of awards intended to qualify for exception therefrom), the Committee may adjust Performance Objectives and the related minimum acceptable level of achievement if, in the sole judgment of the Committee, events or transactions have occurred after the date of grant that are unrelated to the performance of the Participant and result in distortion of the Performance Objectives or the related minimum acceptable level of achievement.

(ix) Each grant shall be evidenced by an agreement that shall be delivered to and accepted by the Participant, which shall state that the Performance Shares are subject to all of the terms and conditions of the 2007 Plan and such other terms and provisions as the Committee may determine consistent with the 2007 Plan. The terms and conditions of the agreements for Performance Shares may change from time to time and need not be uniform with respect to Participants, and the terms and conditions of separate Performance Shares need not be identical.

(x) Until the achievement of the Performance Objectives and the resulting issuance of the Performance Shares, the Participant shall not have any rights as a stockholder in the Performance Shares and shall not have any right to vote such shares, but the Committee may on or after the date of grant, authorize the payment of dividend or other distribution equivalents on such shares in cash or additional shares on a current, deferred or contingent basis.

SECURITIES REGULATION AND TAX WITHHOLDING
 
No Options or Stock Award shall be exercisable, no Common Stock shall be issued, no certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be delivered, and no payment shall be made under the 2007 Plan except in compliance with all applicable federal and state laws and regulations (including, without limitation, withholding tax requirements), any listing agreement to which the Company is a party, and the rules of all domestic stock exchanges or quotation systems on which the Corporation’s shares may be listed, including but not limited to the American Stock Exchange and the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange.  The Company shall have the right to rely on an opinion of its counsel as to such compliance.  In the absence of an effective and current registration statement on an appropriate form under the Securities Act, or a specific exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, shares of Common Stock issued under the 2007 Plan shall be restricted shares.  Any share certificate issued to evidence Common Stock when a Stock Award is granted or for which an Option is exercised may bear such restrictive legends and statements as the Committee may deem advisable to assure compliance with federal and state laws and regulations. In addition, no Option or Stock Award shall be exercisable, no Stock Award shall be granted, no Common Stock shall be issued, no certificate for shares shall be delivered, and no payment shall be made under the 2007 Plan until the Company has obtained such consent or approval as the Committee may deem advisable from regulatory bodies having jurisdiction over such matters.

-47-

The Committee may require that a Participant, as a condition to receipt or exercise of a particular award, execute and deliver to the Company a written statement, in form satisfactory to the Committee, in which the Participant represents and warrants that the shares are being acquired for such Participant’s own account, for investment only and not with a view to the resale or distribution thereof. The Participant shall, at the request of the Committee, be required to represent and warrant in writing that any subsequent resale or distribution of shares of Common Stock by the Participant shall be made only pursuant to either (i) a registration statement on an appropriate form under the Securities Act, which registration statement has become effective and is current with regard to the shares being sold, or (ii) a specific exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, but in claiming such exemption the Participant shall, prior to any offer of sale or sale of such shares, obtain a prior favorable written opinion of counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to counsel for the Company, as to the application of such exemption thereto.

The Company or an Affiliate (including through its brokers or agents) shall have the right, before any certificate for any Common Stock is delivered, to deduct or withhold from any payment owed to a Participant any amount that is necessary in order to satisfy any withholding requirement that the Company or Affiliate in good faith believes is imposed upon it in connection with U.S. (or any other country’s) federal, state, or local taxes, including transfer taxes, as a result of the issuance of, or lapse of restrictions on, such Common Stock, or otherwise require such Participant to make provision for payment of any such withholding amount. Subject to such conditions as may be established by the Committee, the Committee may permit a Participant to (i) have Common Stock otherwise issuable under an Option or Stock Award withheld to the extent necessary to comply with minimum statutory withholding rate requirements, (ii) tender back to the Company shares of Common Stock received pursuant to an Option or Stock Award to the extent necessary to comply with minimum statutory withholding rate requirements for supplemental income, (iii) deliver to the Company previously acquired Common Stock, (iv) have funds withheld from payments of wages, salary, fee or other cash compensation due the Participant, (v) pay the Company or its Affiliate in cash, in order to satisfy part or all of the obligations for any taxes required to be withheld or otherwise deducted and paid by the Company or its Affiliate with respect to the Option or Stock Award; or (vi) establish a 10b5-1 trading plan for withheld stock designed to facilitate the sale of stock in connection with the vesting of such shares, the proceeds of which shall be utilized to make all applicable withholding payments in a manner to be coordinated by the Company’s Chief Financial Officer.

EFFECT ON EMPLOYMENT AND SERVICE

The 2007 Plan, and its operation does not confer upon anyone any right to continue in the employ or service of the Corporation or an Affiliate, affect any right and power of the Company or an Affiliate to change a person’s duties or terminate the employment or service of any individual at any time with or without assigning a reason therefore or except to the extent the Committee grants an Option or Stock Award to such individual, confer on any individual the right to participate in the benefits of the 2007 Plan.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The Company intends to use the proceeds it receives from the sale of Common Stock pursuant to the 2007 Plan for working capital and/or investment in equipment and/or acquisitions and/or business development.

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

The Committee may amend or terminate the 2007 Plan from time to time.  Stockholder approval shall be required for any amendment that (i) increases the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the 2007 Plan, except as contemplated by Section 5.A or Section 9.B of the 2007 Plan; (ii) changes the class of Participants eligible to receive ISOs; (iii) modifies the restrictions on Repricings set forth in the 2007 Plan; or (iv) is required by the terms of any applicable law, regulation or rule, including the rules of any market on which the Company’s shares are traded or exchange on which the Company’s shares are listed. Except as specifically permitted by the 2007 Plan, a Stock Option Agreement or Stock Award Agreement or as required to comply with applicable law, regulation or rule, no amendment shall, without a Participant’s consent, adversely affect any rights of such Participant under any Option or Stock Award outstanding at the time such amendment is made; provided, however, that an amendment that may cause an ISO to become a NQSO shall not be treated as adversely affecting the rights of the Participant. Any amendment requiring stockholder approval shall be approved by the Stockholders of the Company within twelve (12) months of the date such amendment is adopted by the Committee.

PROPOSAL IV

APPROVAL OF THE ACQUISITION OF NTS COMMUNICATIONS, INC.

Information about NTS Communications, Inc.

NTS Communications, Inc. (“NTS”) was founded in April 1981 as a West Texas reseller of long distance services. It currently operates as a communications firm, providing a wide array of communications products, including Voice products such as local, long distance and voice mail, data connectivity for businesses, Internet services, including DSL and Fiber optics connections and video and private line services. NTS operates one of the largest “non-ILEC” telecommunications network in West Texas, providing its services to approximately 47,500 residential and business customers in Lubbock, Amarillo, Midland/Odessa, Abilene, Wichita Falls, Pampa and Plainview. NTS serves a diverse customer base that includes financial institutions, energy companies, medical enterprises, and governmental and educational entities.  

NTS has invested over $23 million in developing a Fiber-to-the-Premise platform, which enables unique economies and allows NTS to provide a voice, data and cable “triple play” offering to residential and business customers. Offering "tripleplay" services to customers is attractive since customer retention and gross margins are high in this business.

NTS currently has approximately 300 employees.  Its corporate headquarters are located at:

5307 W. Loop 289, Suite 200
Lubbock, Texas  79414-1610
Phone: 806-797-0687
Fax: 806-797-9807
Email: info@ntscom.com

Financial Information and Management’s Opinion

The Company’s management believes that the acquisition of NTS is attractive both economically and operationally, and believes that the acquisition would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. 

In order to get a more complete understanding of the financial condition of NTS, please see the audited consolidated financial statements for NTS Communications, Inc. and subsidiaries for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2007 and 2006, in Appendix C. Please also see the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Company and subsidiaries for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 and the six months ended June 30, 2007, to see the effect of the acquisition of NTS by the Company as though the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2006, in Appendix D.

Stock Purchase Agreement

The Company’s Board of Directors approved the acquisition of NTS at a Board meeting on July 31, 2007.

On August 22, 2007, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with NTS and shareholders owning approximately 85% of the equity interests in NTS (the “NTS Sellers”) to acquire NTS.  Subsequently, all of the remaining shareholders of NTS executed the Agreement, bringing the total percentage of equity interests in NTS owned by NTS Sellers that entered into the Agreement to 100%. The aggregate purchase price is $42,000,000 (excluding acquisition related costs), plus (or less) (i) the difference between NTS’ estimated working capital and the working capital target for NTS as set forth in the Agreement, and (ii) the difference between amounts allocated by NTS for its fiber optic network build-out project anticipated in Texas and any indebtedness incurred by NTS in connection with this project, each of which is subject to Xfone’s advance written approval. The aggregate purchase price will be allocated to the NTS Sellers in accordance with each shareholder’s allocable share.

-51-

Issuance of Shares of Common Stock to Certain NTS Sellers

The Agreement also provided that the Company may offer to the NTS Sellers the opportunity to reinvest all or part of their allocable sale price in shares of the Company’s Common Stock, provided that the maximum number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock to be reinvested by all NTS Sellers in the aggregate does not exceed 30% of the total purchase price. 

On September 19, 2007, the Company made this offer to the NTS Sellers, in accordance with the Agreement. Seventeen NTS Sellers elected to reinvest all or a portion of their allocable sale price in the Company’s Common Stock, and entered into Subscription Agreements with the Company. Pursuant to such subscriptions, the Company accepted offers by NTS Sellers to reinvest an aggregate of $6,587,426.76 in the Company’s Common Stock upon closing of the acquisition. The Company’s Board of Directors determined, in accordance with the Agreement, that the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock to be delivered to each NTS Seller under this offering will be determined by dividing the portion of the NTS Seller’s allocable sale price that the NTS Seller elected to receive in shares of the Company’s Common Stock by 93% of the average closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the American Stock Exchange for the ten consecutive trading days preceding the trading day immediately prior to the closing date of the acquisition.

The offering of the shares of Common Stock to the NTS Sellers was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), but was made in reliance upon the exemptions from registration requirements of the Securities Act set forth in Section 4(2) thereof and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder, insofar as such securities are to be issued only to “accredited investors,” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D, and up to 35 non-accredited investors. The NTS Sellers will not have any registration rights with respect to the shares they will receive pursuant to this offering in accordance with the Agreement. Upon issuance of the shares, the NTS Sellers will have the same rights as shareholders currently owning the Company’s Common Stock.

The issuance of the shares of Common Stock to the NTS Sellers is subject to the approval of the American Stock Exchange and the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange where the Company’s Common Stock is listed. In addition, the rules of the American Stock Exchange, specifically Sections 712 and 713 of the American Stock Exchange Company Guide, require stockholder approval of, among other things, acquisitions in which the present or potential issuance of common stock could result in an increase in outsanding common stock of 20% or more, and of other transactions that would result in the issuance of 20% or more of the oustanding shares of the company’s commmon stock at a price that is less than the greater of book or market value of the common stock. Although the aggrgate number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the NTS Sellers is as yet undetermined, the number of shares might meet or exceed the 20% threshold described above, and such shares might be issed at a discount to the market price of the shares at the time of the closing of the acquisition. With that eventuality in mind, the Company has elected to submit the acquisition for approval by the Company’s stockholders for the purposes of satisfying the requirments of Sections 712 and 713 of the American Stock Exchange Company Guide. If stockholder approval is not obtained, the Company may become unable to complete the acquisition of NTS, and the shares of Common Stock will not be issued to the NTS Sellers.
 
Other Terms

The Agreement provides that the closing must occur not later than January 15, 2008, unless such expiration date is extended or changed by the parties in accordance with the terms of, and under the circumstances described in, the Agreement.

The Agreement also provides for payment of certain liquidated damages, in the event that the Agreement is terminated under specific circumstances.

Completion of the acquisition is subject to certain conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals where relevant.

In addition, in connection with the transaction, the Company had entered into a Letter of Joint Venture dated June 15, 2007 with NTS Holdings, Inc. (“NTS Holdings”), an entity owned by Barbara Andrews (a/k/a Barbara Baldwin), who currently serves as NTS’ President and CEO, Jerry Hoover, who currently serves as NTS’ Executive Vice President - Chief Financial Officer, and Brad Worthington, who currently serves as NTS’ Executive Vice President - Chief Operating Officer.  The Letter of Joint Venture set forth some of the terms relating to the Company’s acquisition of NTS, and the merge or combination of the two companies into one, and also summarized the key employment terms between the NTS and Ms. Baldwin, Mr. Hoover and Mr. Worthington following the consummation of the acquisition.  Pursuant to its terms, upon consummation of the acquisition, the Letter of Joint Venture will terminate, and it is anticipated that the Company will enter into a Free Cash Flow Participation Agreement with NTS Holdings, and that NTS will enter into Employment Agreements with each of Ms. Baldwin, Mr. Hoover and Mr. Worthington.

The Letter of Joint Venture was filed as Exhibit 10.107 to the Company’s August 22, 2007 Form 8-K.

Free Cash Flow Participation Agreement.  The Free Cash Flow Participation Agreement (the “Participation Agreement”) provides that NTS Holdings will be entitled to a payment from the Company of an amount equal to 5% of the aggregate excess free cash flow generated by operations of the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries, which currently includes Xfone USA, Inc. (and its subsidiaries) and will include NTS upon consummation of the acquisition (and their respective subsidiaries) as well as any U.S. entity that Xfone acquires directly, or indirectly through its subsidiaries, in the future (a “Future Acquisition”).  NTS Holdings will be entitled to the participation amount beginning at such time as the Company has received a full return of its initial invested capital, plus an additional 8% return per year, in connection with the NTS acquisition (as well as in connection with any Future Acquisition).  The Participation Agreement will remain in effect in perpetuity, unless earlier terminated in accordance with its terms.

The Form of Participation Agreement was filed as Exhibit 10.107.1 to the Company’s August 22, 2007 Form 8-K.

Employment Agreements with Barbara Baldwin, Jerry Hoover and Brad Worthington.  It is anticipated that NTS will enter into Employment Agreements with each of Barbara Baldwin, Jerry Hoover and Brad Worthington, each for a five-year term that will commence on the date of closing.  The Employment Agreements provide for initial annual salaries for Ms. Baldwin of $273,000, and $243,840 for each of Messrs.

In addition, at the end of these officers’ second year of employment under the Employment Agreements, each officer will be entitled to receive options to purchase 267,000 shares of Xfone’s Common Stock, which will be immediately exercisable at $5.00 per share, and will expire five years from such grant date.

The three Forms of Employment Agreement were filed as Exhibits 10.107.2, 10.107.3 and 10.107.4 to the Company’s August 22, 2007 Form 8-K.

The terms of the Letter of Joint Venture and the Stock Purchase Agreement, and the related agreements, were the products of arm's length negotiations, and none of the principals of the parties had any relationship with each other prior to such negotiations in connection with the acquisition transaction. None of the NTS Sellers had any relationship with the Company prior to the negotiations of the transaction and agreements described above.

Financial Advisor

New York City based Oberon Securities, LLC, a registered broker-dealer, acted as financial advisor to the Company in conjunction with the NTS acquisition transaction. Subject to the consummation of the acquisition, Oberon will be paid approximately $885,000 in cash for its services as a finder and financial advisor in connection with the transaction.

Debt Financing for the Cash Portion of Purchase Price

The Company’s management is currently in discussions with various potential lenders to obtain the best financing in order to fund the cash portion of the purchase price for the acquisition of NTS, however, the terms of such financing, and the parties thereto, have not yet been determined. The Company currently expects that the financing will be comprised of the issuance of debt and equity, such as shares of Common Stock and/or warrants to purchase Common Stock, to such lender(s) (the “Financing”).  In connection with the Financing, the Company may issue shares of its Common Stock to Oberon Securities LLC (“Oberon Securities”) as partial compensation for acting as an adviser for the Financing.

At the Meeting, a vote will be taken on the proposal to approve the acquisition of NTS pursuant to the Agreement, including the issuance of shares of the Company’s Common Stock to certain NTS Sellers who have elected to re-invest all or a portion of their allocable sale price in the Company’s common stock, and the Financing, including issuance of shares of Common Stock and/or warrants to purchase Common Stock in connection therewith to lenders and/or to Oberon Securities.

-55-


On October 4, 2000, we acquired Swiftnet Limited which had a business plan to provide comprehensive range of telecommunication services and products, integrated through one website. Swiftnet was incorporated in 1990 under the laws of the United Kingdom and is headquartered in London, England. Until 1999, the main revenues for Swiftnet were derived from messaging and fax broadcast 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 U.S. 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. The management agreement provided that all revenues generated from WS Telecom business operations would be assigned and transferred to Xfone USA. The term of the management agreement commenced on July 1, 2004, and continued until the consummation of the merger on March 10, 2005.  Headquartered in Jackson, Mississippi, Xfone USA, Inc. is an integrated telecommunications service provider that owns and operates its own facilities-based, telecommunications switching system and network. Xfone USA provides residential and business customers with high quality local, long distance and high-speed broadband Internet services, as well as cable television services in certain planned residential communities in Mississippi. Xfone USA is licensed to provide telecommunications services in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi. Xfone USA utilizes integrated multi-media offerings - combining digital voice, data and video services over broadband technologies to deliver services to customers throughout its service areas.

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, Xfone, Inc, 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 Xfone, Inc 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. The term of the I-55 Internet Management Agreement commenced on October 11, 2005 and continued until the consummation of the merger on March 31, 2006.
-56-


In conjunction with the consummation of the merger and in exchange for all of the capital stock of I-55 Internet Services, we issued a total of 789,863 shares of our common stock valued at $2,380,178 and 603,939 warrants exercisable for a period of five years into shares of our common stock, with an exercise price of $3.31, valued based on the Black Scholes option-pricing model (the “Xfone Stock and Warrant Consideration”). A portion of the Xfone Stock and Warrant Consideration issued at closing was placed in an escrow account, to be held pending certain adjustments. The Company subsequently made the following two claims against such escrow account: Claim #1: The Company made a claim on March 27, 2007 to adjust the total consideration based upon the changes in customer billings as determined pursuant to a formula set forth in the First Amendment to the Merger Agreement (the “Customer Billing Adjustment Amount”), which the Company had determined was $247,965.57. Claim #2: The Company determined an undisclosed liability, in accordance with Article 6.03 of the I-55 Internet Services, Inc. Merger Agreement (as amended), in the amount of $147,550 and on November 28, 2006, sent a claim for this amount. The Shareholder Representatives of I-55 Internet Services disputed the amounts in both claims submitted and so the parties entered into negotiations on May 2, 2007, where they agreed to reduce the amount claimed in Claim #1 to $143,017.11 to account for reconciliation of previously unconfirmed balances that had been applied in calculating the claim figure, and agreed to reduce the original Loss amount claimed in Claim #2 by $6,800.00, representing additional services purchased with Zipa, Inc. under the direction of Xfone USA during the Management Agreement period from October 2005 through March 2006. Upon settlement of the claims, two Joint Deposition Notices for the escrow agent, Trustmark National Bank, were delivered to the Shareholder Representatives of I-55 Internet Services for execution, however, a Shareholder Representative refused to execute the notices pending approval of the figures by the shareholders of I-55 Internet Services at a meeting.  On June 7, 2007, the shareholders met and rejected the figure agreed upon with respect to Claim #1, and accepted the figure agreed upon with respect to Claim #2.  There has been no further action taken with respect to Claim #2.  As a result of the rejection of the figure for Claim #1, the Company officially retracted the Joint Deposition of Escrow Claim, and consequently the original Pending Claim Notice dated March 27, 2007 in the amount of $247,965.57 is still claimed. 
 
In conjunction with that certain Letter Agreement dated October 10, 2005 with MCG Capital Corporation, 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, hosting 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 (broadband 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 our 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.

-57-

In conjunction with the consummation of the merger and in exchange for all of the capital stock of I-55 Telecommunications, LLC, we issued a total of 223,702 shares of our common stock valued at $671,687 and 79,029 warrants exercisable for a period of five years into shares of our common stock, with an exercise price of $3.38, valued based on the Black Scholes option-pricing model (the “Xfone Stock and Warrant Consideration”). A portion of the Xfone Stock and Warrant Consideration issued at closing was placed in an escrow. The Company determined a breach of the representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement resulting from the failure of I-55 Telecommunications to disclose the liability due and payable to the Louisiana Universal Service Fund (“LA USF”) through the period of October 2005, at which time Xfone USA undertook the management role of I-55 Telecommunications.  Pursuant to Section 1(g) of the Escrow Agreement dated as of March 31, 2006 by and among Xfone USA, the Escrow Agent, and the President and Sole Member of I-55 Telecommunications, and in accordance with Article 6.02 of the Merger Agreement, Xfone USA notified the other parties that it believed that it had suffered a Loss of $30,625.52, pursuant to the provisions of Article 6.02 of the Merger Agreement dated as of August 26, 2005. Having not received any response from the President and Sole Member of I-55 Telecommunications, nor from his counsel, on October 15, 2007, and after the allotted response time allowed, Xfone USA instructed the Escrow Agent (Trustmark National Bank) to deliver from the Escrow Fund of the President and Sole Member of I-55 Telecommunications, to the Company, 7,043 shares of Common Stock and 4,838 Xfone Stock Warrants.
 
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 Louisiana and Mississippi to both individuals and businesses. Prior to the merger with and into Xfone USA, I-55 Telecommunications was a licensed facility based CLEC operating in Louisiana and Mississippi with a next generation class 5 carrier switching platform. I-55 Telecommunications provided a complete package of local and long distance services to residential and business customers across both states. As a result of the merger, Xfone USA has now expanded its On-Net (facilities) service area, through I-55 Telecommunications, into New Orleans, Louisiana and surrounding areas, including Hammond, Louisiana and Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Xfone USA is expanding its sales offices to include New Orleans, in an effort to continue revenue growth and increase market share in the revitalized city, as well as into Biloxi, Mississippi, Hammond, Louisiana and Baton Rouge, Louisiana. 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, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and Biloxi, Mississippi, 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 opportunity 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 investment took the form of a convertible term note secured by our United States assets. 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. As of August 1, 2007, Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. assigned to Valens U.S. SPV I, LLC a principal amount equal to $169,925.11 of the Term Note, and to Valens Offshore Fund SPV I, Ltd. a principal amount equal to $549,289.76 of the Term Note. 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 financial transaction was closed on April 6, 2006.

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. As a result of further negotiations between us and EBI, we have agreed to pay the total consideration of this acquisition in cash in the amount of $85,699 in monthly payments of $10,000 until paid in full, and we made the first of such payments on June 1, 2007.

(“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 a small wireless application in certain areas in Vicksburg, Mississippi. The transaction was closed on January 24, 2006. We agreed to pay a total purchase price of up to $710,633, payable as follows: (i) $185,000 in cash payable in twelve equal monthly payments, the first installment was paid at closing, and as of December 31, 2006, the entire amount was paid in full and in accordance with the Asset Purchase Agreement; (ii) $255,633 in cash, paid at closing, to pay off the loan with the B&K Bank; (iii) 33,768 restricted shares of common stock and 24,053 warrants exercisable at $2.98 per share for a period of five years were issued to the shareholders of Canufly.net during May 2006.

On May 25, 2006, we and the shareholders of Equitalk.co.uk Limited, a privately held telephone company based in the United Kingdom (“Equitalk”) entered into an Agreement relating to the sale and purchase of Equitalk (the “Equitalk Agreement”). The Equitalk Agreement provided for us to acquire Equitalk in a restricted common stock and warrant transaction valued at $1,650,000. The acquisition was completed on July 3, 2006, and on that date Equitalk became our wholly owned subsidiary. In conjunction with the completion of the acquisition and in exchange for all of the capital stock of Equitalk, we issued a total of 402,192 restricted shares of our common stock and a total of 281,872 warrants exercisable at $3.025 per share for a period of five years. Founded in December 1999, Equitalk, a VC-financed company, was the first fully automated e-telco in the United Kingdom. Equitalk provides both residential and business customers with low-cost IDA and CPS voice services, broadband and teleconferencing.

On June 19, 2006, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement to sell to Central Fund for the Payment of Severance Pay of the First International Bank of Israel Ltd.; Meiron Provident Fund for Self Employed Persons of the First International Bank of Israel Ltd.; Atidoth Provident and Compensation Fund of the First International Bank of Israel Ltd.; Tohelet Provident and Compensation Fund of the first International Bank of Israel Ltd.; Mishtalem Funds for Continuing Education of the First International Bank of Israel Ltd.; Keren Hashefa Provident and Compensation Fund of the First International Bank of Israel Ltd.; Hamelacha Provident and Compensation Fund of the First International Bank of Israel Ltd.; Teuza Provident and Compensation Fund of the First International Bank of Israel Ltd.; Kidma Provident Funds Management Company Ltd. for Menifa Provident Fund for Bank of Israel Employees; and Security Pension Fund for Artisans Industrialists and Self Employed Persons Ltd. an aggregate of 344,825 restricted shares of common stock, at a purchase price of $2.90 per share, together with an aggregate of 172,415 warrants to purchase shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $3.40 per share and with a term of five years. The financial transaction was closed on September 28, 2006. The financial transaction resulted in dilution in the percentage of common stock owned by the Company’s existing shareholders, although the price paid was in excess of the net tangible book value per share and accordingly was not economically dilutive.

On December 24, 2006, the Company entered into an Agreement to sell to Halman-Aldubi Provident Funds Ltd. and Halman-Aldubi Pension Funds Ltd. an aggregate of 344,828 restricted shares of its common stock, at a purchase price of $2.90 per share, together with an aggregate of 172,414 warrants to purchase shares of its common stock, at an exercise price of $3.40 per share and with a term of five years. The financial transaction was closed on February 8, 2007. The financial transaction resulted in dilution in the percentage of common stock owned by the Company’s existing shareholders, although the price paid was in excess of the net tangible book value per share and accordingly was not economically dilutive.

On August 15, 2007, the Company, Swiftnet Limited, our wholly owned U.K.-based subsidiary (“Swiftnet”), and Dan Kirschner entered into a definitive Share Purchase Agreement to be completed on the same date, pursuant to which Swiftnet purchased from Mr. Kirschner the 67.5% equity interest in Auracall Limited (“Auracall”) that he beneficially owned, thereby increasing Swiftnet’s ownership interest in Auracall from 32.5% to 100%. Swiftnet had acquired the 32.5% interest in Auracall through several transactions that occurred since October 16, 2001. The purchase price for the shares was £810,917.64 (approximately $1,669,958), payable as follows: £500,000 (approximately $1,029,672) was paid in cash upon signing of the Share Purchase Agreement, and the remaining £304,000, plus interest of £6,917.64 (approximately $640,286), is payable in monthly installments beginning in September 2007 and continuing through March 2008. In connection with the acquisition, Auracall and Swiftnet entered into an Inter-Company Loan Agreement, pursuant to which Auracall agreed to lend Swiftnet £850,000 (approximately $1,750,442) for the sole purpose of and in connection with Swiftnet’s acquisition of the Auracall shares. The loan is unsecured, bears interest at a rate of 5% per annum, and is to be repaid in five years (i.e., August 15, 2012), but may be repaid earlier without charge or penalty. As a result of the terms of the transaction, Mr. Kirschner will no longer serve as Auracall’s Managing Director or as a member of its board of directors.

On August 22, 2007, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with NTS Communications, Inc. (“NTS”), a provider of integrated voice, data and video solutions headquartered in Lubbock, Texas, and the owners of approximately 85% of the equity interests in NTS (the “NTS Sellers”), to acquire NTS. Subsequently, all of the remaining shareholders of NTS executed the Agreement, bringing the total percentage of equity interests in NTS owned by NTS Sellers that entered into the Agreement to 100%. The aggregate purchase price is $42,000,000 (excluding acquisition related costs), plus (or less) (i) the difference between NTS’ estimated working capital and the working capital target for NTS as set forth in the Agreement, and (ii) the difference between amounts allocated by NTS for its fiber optic network build-out project anticipated in Texas and any indebtedness incurred by NTS in connection with this project, each of which is subject to Xfone’s advance written approval. The aggregate purchase price will be allocated to the NTS shareholders in accordance with each shareholder’s allocable share.

The Agreement also provided that the Company may offer to the NTS Sellers the opportunity to reinvest all or part of their allocable sale price in shares of the Company’s Common Stock, provided that the maximum number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock to be reinvested by all NTS Sellers in the aggregate does not exceed 30% of the total purchase price. 

On September 19, 2007, the Company made this offer to the NTS Sellers, in accordance with the Agreement. Seventeen NTS Sellers elected to reinvest all or a portion of their allocable sale price in the Company’s Common Stock, and entered into Subscription Agreements with the Company. Pursuant to such subscriptions, the Company accepted offers by NTS Sellers to reinvest an aggregate of $6,587,426.76 in the Company’s Common Stock upon closing of the acquisition. The Company’s Board of Directors determined, in accordance with the Agreement, that the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock to be delivered to each NTS Seller under this offering will be determined by dividing the portion of the NTS Seller’s allocable sale price that the NTS Seller elected to receive in shares of the Company’s Common Stock by 93% of the average closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the American Stock Exchange for the ten consecutive trading days preceding the trading day immediately prior to the closing date of the acquisition.

The offering of the shares of Common Stock to the NTS Sellers was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), but was made in reliance upon the exemptions from registration requirements of the Securities Act set forth in Section 4(2) thereof and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder, insofar as such securities are to be issued only to “accredited investors,” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D, and up to 35 non-accredited investors. The NTS Sellers will not have any registration rights with respect to the shares they will receive pursuant to this offering in accordance with the Agreement. Upon issuance of the shares, the NTS Sellers will have the same rights as shareholders currently owning the Company’s Common Stock.

-61-

The Agreement provides that the closing must occur not later than January 15, 2008 (the “Expiration Date”), unless the Expiration Date is extended or changed by the parties in accordance with the terms of, and under the circumstances described in, the Agreement. The Agreement also provides for payment of certain liquidated damages, in the event that the Agreement is terminated under specific circumstances.Completion of the acquisition is subject to certain conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals where relevant.

In connection with the consummation of the acquisition, it is anticipated that the parties will enter into additional related agreements, including a Release, an Escrow Agreement, an Amendment to Lease Agreement and a Noncompetition, Nondisclosure and Nonsolicitation Agreement. In addition, in connection with the transaction, the Company had entered into a Letter of Joint Venture dated June 15, 2007 with NTS Holdings, Inc. (“NTS Holdings”), an entity owned by Barbara Andrews (a/k/a Barbara Baldwin), who currently serves as NTS’ President and CEO, Jerry Hoover, who currently serves as NTS’ Executive Vice President – Chief Financial Officer, and Brad Worthington, who currently serves as NTS’ Executive Vice President – Chief Operating Officer. Pursuant to its terms, upon consummation of the acquisition, the Letter of Joint Venture will terminate, and it is anticipated that the Company will enter into a Free Cash Flow Participation Agreement with NTS Holdings, and that NTS will enter into Employment Agreements with each of Ms. Baldwin, Mr. Hoover and Mr. Worthington.

Recent Financings

On October 23, 2007, the Company  entered into Subscription Agreements with 15 investors affiliated with Gagnon Securities, Inc. who agreed to purchase an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”) at a price of $3.00 per share (the “Offering”), for a total subscription amount of $3,000,000 (the “Subscription Amount”). The Offering was made by the Company, acting without a placement agent, pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form SB-2 (File No. 333-143618) which was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on August 6, 2007. The Subscription Amount will be held in escrow for the benefit of the Company pending the receipt by the Company of approvals from the American Stock Exchange and the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange for the listing of the Shares, and until the Company’s transfer agent has confirmed that the Shares are available for issuance via the DWAC system, which the Company is in the process of implementing.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2006
 
U.K. Operations - 2006

Our U.K. subsidiary, Swiftnet Limited operates switching and computer systems offering a range of innovative, in-house developed telecommunications services. Swiftnet's strategy is to grow without the need for heavy investments and with lower operational expenses through the use of automation. A comprehensive range of telecommunication services and products are sold directly to end-users, through a web site integrating all of Swiftnet's services. The services are mainly telephone related services to customers dialing local and international destinations. Swiftnet provides value added services such as fax broadcast, email to fax and various other messaging services. Swiftnet also provides services for a range of resellers and partners to sell to their customers. These resellers and partners include Auracall Limited, Story Telecom Limited and Equitalk.co.uk Limited. Swiftnet's telecommunications services are used by subscribers in the U.K. and worldwide.

Our U.K. subsidiary, Equitalk.co.uk Limited is an automated e-telco providing post-paid, telecommunications services to customers across the whole of the U.K. These customers are typically making calls within the UK. Equitalk’s strategy is to grow through acquiring customers directly through sales and marketing activities.
-62-


Our U.K. subsidiary, Story Telecom Limited provides international calling services through calling cards and special access numbers available for use from mobile phones and landlines. Story Telecom's strategy is to grow through adding products and services targeted at customers making international calls.

In 2006 we had only approximately 0.1% of the market share of the United Kingdom telecommunication market (not including mobiles revenues), based on our revenues of $17.0 million (approximately 8.7 million United Kingdom pounds) during 2006, compared with approximately 19.8 billion U.S. dollars telecommunication market (not including mobiles revenues) in the United Kingdom (approximately 10.1 billion United Kingdom pounds).

We had four major types of customers in the U.K.: Residential, Commercial, Governmental agencies and Resellers. During 2006, there was one U.K. customer that accounted for 5% or more of our revenues - Auracall Limited (a 32.5% equity investment), represented approximately 7.5% of our U.K. revenues. Our largest non affiliated reseller was WorldNet Global Communications Ltd. (“WorldNet”) that generated approximately 3% of our U.K. revenues during 2006. We anticipate that WorldNet will continue to contribute approximately the same amount of UKP to our revenues in year 2007. However, should our agreements involving Auracall or WorldNet be cancelled, our revenues will be negatively affected.

In 2006, approximately 44.7% of our revenues were derived from our operations in the United Kingdom.

The U.K. market is highly competitive and our U.K. operations have a strong track record in innovation and in staying ahead of the competition. With a good pipeline of new products and ideas in development, we expect this to continue into 2007.

During 2006 some sectors of the U.K. telecommunications market have experienced reduced competition as a result of large mergers between Carphone Warehouse, Tele2 and Onetel. On-going regulation of the British Telecommunications plc (the incumbent monopoly) is designed to produce a level playing field for competition, and we are experiencing the benefits of this.

With a continued focus on quality and operational efficiencies, we expect to be able to support continued organic growth in sales and profits during 2007. Growth is projected to come from products introduced during 2006 as a result of increased marketing activity and on-going product improvements.

The U.K. operations will continue to search for suitable acquisitions in Europe to give non-organic growth. These will be assessed on their ability to increase shareholder value, on criteria which include their EPS contribution, size, cost, operational fit and quality of management.

U.S. Operations - 2006

Our U.S. subsidiary, Xfone USA, Inc. provides voice, data and related services throughout Louisiana and Mississippi to both individuals and businesses. Xfone USA is a licensed facility based CLEC operating in Louisiana and Mississippi with a next generation class 5-carrier switching platform. Xfone USA offers a complete package of local and long distance services to residential and business customers across both states.
-63-


In 2006 we had approximately 13,500 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 approximately 0.2% of market share. This total market size in 2006 represented 5,789,992 telephone lines, with BellSouth Telecommunications maintaining its monopoly market share with 4,877,791 telephone lines or approximately 84% of the market. All CLECs combined made up the remaining 921,201 telephone lines or approximately 16% of the tri-state market, according to the 2006 FCC Report - Trends in Local Telephone Competition.

In 2006, approximately 40.8% 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. We believe 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 showed improving wire line margins in the Business markets and slightly improving margins in the Residential (Consumer) markets for facilities based providers, and this will continue into 2007. Mergers and acquisitions continued throughout 2006, primarily with mega mergers, such as BellSouth and ATT, as a major component for offsetting the line loss felt throughout the CLEC industry due to the regulatory changes. The industry will see continued merger and acquisition activity in 2007 for companies that have cash and public equity resources, and for the same reasons mentioned for 2006. These transactions will continue to change the landscape in the telecommunications industry. Analysts still believe there will be more consolidation opportunity over the next two years in both wire line and wireless markets.

As a result of regulatory changes, the competitive landscape continues to change, creating additional opportunity for facilities based competitive carriers to gain a larger market share in a shorter period of time in certain geographic markets, through internal growth (sales) and external growth (mergers and acquisitions) due to the continued 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.

Xfone USA’s business plan for 2007 continues to include expansion of market share in both Business and Residential markets with focus in its specific geographic service areas primarily in Mississippi and Louisiana, and 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 radio, direct mail, email marketing and other low cost advertising and message delivery opportunities.
-64-


In May 2007, Xfone USA secured its Vice President of Business Sales and incorporated an aggressive business sales expansion plan focusing this effort in its specific geographic and high margin service areas in Jackson, Mississippi, Baton Rouge and New Orleans, Louisiana. The expansion effort is on plan from the projections submitted in May 2007.

The Company’s business plan in 2007 also includes growth through acquisitions, which makes sense for several reasons: (i) faster results in achieving large top line revenue performance; (ii) significant synergies impact from consolidating corporate functions; and (iii) relatively easy integration of acquired companies because of facilities and network architecture.

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.

Xfone USA, being a facilities based fully integrated communications carrier, is better positioned in 2007 to continue to take full advantage of the regulatory opportunities afforded to facilities-based providers as a result of the FCC TRRO ruling in 2005, as well as to take advantage of the consolidation momentum started in 2006.

Israeli Operations - 2006

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 therefore all six providers had to offer low prices in order to attract or retain subscribers and call minutes.

During 2006, two significant mergers occurred in the Israeli international telephony market, leaving only four companies in the competition. The implications of these two mergers are yet to be noticed. However, we believe that the mergers will result in a moderate rates increase which may raise Xfone 018 revenues in 2007. The aforementioned mergers enabled Xfone 018 to execute, as of December 2006, a new business strategy, according to which it re-priced its services by distinguishing the rates for its subscribed customers from the rates for its non-subscribed customers. We believe that the new strategy shall prove to be successful, and that in 2007 no significant market share will be lost as a result of its implementation.

In 2006, the Israeli international telephony market was estimated to be 2.6 billion minutes. We estimate our market share as of December 31, 2006, as approximately 5.5% of the Israeli market.

We have two major types of customers in Israel: Residential and Commercial.

-65-

In 2006, approximately 14.5% of our revenues were derived from our operations in Israel.

Xfone 018 is operating with significantly lower overhead than its three competitors in the Israeli market by utilizing and building on our previous business models. We therefore believe that Xfone 018 will increase its market share in the international communication market, 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, America, Australia and Africa.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
COMPARISON OF THE SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007 AND JUNE 30, 2006
 
Revenues.  Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased 38.7% to $23,153,522 from $16,690,082 for the same period in 2006. This increase is mainly due to the revenues contributed by Story Telecom which was consolidated for the first time during the second quarter of 2006, and Equitalk which was not consolidated in our financial statements for the six month period ended June 30, 2006.
 
Revenues in the United Kingdom for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased 80.8% to $12,574,190 from $6,955,045 for the same period in 2006. Approximately $4,800,000 of the increase was contributed by Story Telecom which was consolidated for the first time during the second quarter of 2006, and Equitalk which was not consolidated in our financial statements for the six month periods ended June 30, 2006. Additionally, products which were introduced at the end of 2006 provided additional revenues for the six month period ended June 30, 2007. The remainder of the increase in the revenues is attributed to increased marketing activity and on-going product improvements.
 
Revenues in the United States for the six months ended June 30, 2007 decreased 9.1% to $6,610,958 from $7,269,042 for the same period in 2006. The decrease is primarily due to the attrition of dialup internet customers.

Revenues in Israel for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased 60.9% to $3,968,374 from $2,465,995 for the same period in 2006. This increase is mainly attributed to increase of our market share and strategic change in our pricing policy to segregate between registered and unregistered users while remaining competitive in the market.

Our primary geographic markets are the United Kingdom, the United States and Israel.  However, we serve customers across Europe, Asia, North, Central and 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 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 decreased 1.8% to $10,323,243 from $10,510,433 for the same period in 2006. Approximately $3,000,000 in cost of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2007 are contributed by Story Telecom which was consolidated for the first time during the second quarter of 2006, and Equitalk which was not consolidated in our financial statements for the six month period ended June 30, 2006. The decrease in the cost of revenues is primarily attributed to the operations in the U.K. Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2007 decreased to 44.6% from 63% in the same period in 2006.

As a result of ongoing product improvements and an increase in the sales of higher margin services, we achieved a decrease in cost of revenues as percentage of revenues in all our geographic markets, and primarily in the U.K. and Israel where cost of revenues as percentage of revenues decrease to 45.7% and 35.9%, respectively, in the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to 77.6% and 65.7%, respectively, in the same period in 2006.

Research and Development. Research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and for the same period in 2006 were 0.1% of total revenues. We estimate that the research and development expenses will remain in the same level during the second half of 2007.
 
Marketing and Selling Expenses. Marketing and selling expenses consist primarily of commissions to agents and resellers. Other marketing and selling expenses are related to compensation attributed to employees engaged in marketing and selling activities, promotion, advertising and related expenses.

The increase in the marketing and selling expenses is primarily attributed to our operations in the U.K. Approximately $3,600,000 of the increase is attributed to agents' commission payable by Swiftnet, $2,735,658 of which was payable to Auracall Limited, an affiliated entity. During August 2006, customers of Auracall that used a service resold by Auracall from a third party, moved from that service to a service of Swiftnet, resold by Auracall. As a result, Swiftnet was liable to pay commission to Auracall for the traffic generated by Auracall's customers. Approximately $725,000 of the increase is attributed to the selling and marketing activities of Story Telecom which was consolidated for the first time during the second quarter of 2006, and Equitalk which was not consolidated in our financial statements for the six month period ended June 30, 2006. Marketing and selling expenses as a percentage of revenues increased to 23.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from 9.1% for the same period in 2006.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased 25.3% to $5,846,730 from $4,225,081 for the same period in 2006.

Financing Expenses. Financing expenses, net, for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased 56.4% to $306,695 from $196,055 for the same period in 2006. The increase in the financial expenses is attributed to the effect of fluctuation in the exchange rate of the NIS and the GBP on liabilities of Xfone 018. In addition, financing expenses consist primarily of interest expenses on our interest bearing obligations.

Net Income. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $855,834 compared to $347,342 for the same period in 2006.

Upon the assignment of the Interconnection Agreement between WS Telecom, Inc. and BellSouth Telecommunications, Inc. to Xfone USA, Inc., and consummation of the merger on March 10, 2005, we, the ultimate parent company and our subsidiaries Swiftnet Limited and Xfone 018 Ltd., individually and/or jointly, agreed to guarantee all undisputed debts owing to BellSouth Telecommunications by Xfone USA in accordance with the assigned Interconnection Agreement. The guarantee was given on December 16, 2004, and became effective upon the consummation of the merger on March 10, 2005.

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 NIS ($2,353,495) 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.

According to the above-mentioned agreement with the Minority Partner, the Minority Partner provided in the fourth quarter of 2004, a shareholder loan of approximately $400,000 to Xfone 018 (the “Minority Partner Loan”). The Minority Partner Loan is payable after four years with annual interest of 4% and linkage to the Israeli consumer price index. As of June 30, 2007, the balance of the Minority Partner Loan is 1,947,050 NIS ($458,237).

As of June 30, 2007, we provided to Xfone 018 a shareholder loan in an aggregate amount of $1,298,579.

As of June 30, 2007, our Israeli subsidiary activities were financed by the shareholders loans and by using 4,026,794 NIS ($950,164) of the credit facility from Bank Hapoalim.

On September 27, 2005, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement for a $2,000,000 financial transaction with Xfone USA, Inc., eXpeTel Communications, Inc., Gulf Coast Utilities, Inc. and Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. The investment, which took the form of a convertible term note secured by our United States assets, has a 3 year term and bears interest at a rate equal to prime plus 1.5% per annum. The Term Note 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 financing was on September 28, 2005. As of August 1, 2007, Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. assigned to Valens U.S. SPV I, LLC a principal amount equal to $169,925.11 of the Term Note, and to Valens Offshore Fund SPV I, Ltd. a principal amount equal to $549,289.76 of the Term Note. Net proceeds from the financing were mainly used for procurement of capital equipment and general working capital purposes for us and Xfone USA, eXpeTel Communications and Gulf Coast Utilities, Inc. The conversion of the Term Note will result in dilution in the percentage of common stock owned by our existing shareholders, although the conversion price was in excess of the net tangible book value per share and accordingly was not economically dilutive. The potential or actual resale of the shares underlying the note could have an adverse effect on the price of our common stock. The balance as of June 30, 2007 due to Laurus Master Fund is $1,000,000.

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

On August 24, 2006, we announced by Press Release that we had filed with the Israel Securities Authority (“ISA”) and the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (“TASE”) a preliminary draft prospectus for a proposed public offering of convertible debentures to be listed and traded on the TASE (the “Proposed Public Offering”). The total amount proposed to be raised in the Proposed Public Offering was approximately $12 million. The Proposed Public Offering was 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 we were informed that the TASE decided to seek a No-Action Letter from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “No-Action Letter”) and that until the No-Action Letter is granted to the TASE the Proposed Public Offering is delayed. On May 7, 2007, we were informed by the TASE that the No-Action Letter has not yet been granted. We are currently exploring, together with the TASE, the ISA and its legal and financial advisors alternative processes to raise capital in Israel.

The financial transaction resulted in dilution in the percentage of common stock owned by our existing shareholders, although the price paid was in excess of the net tangible book value per share and accordingly was not economically dilutive.

The loan is guaranteed by our wholly-owned UK subsidiary, Swiftnet Limited and by amounts owed to us by Story Telecom. In addition, Story Telecom has the right to set-off repayments under the loan against sums due to us by Story Telecom. The loan is pre-payable at any time upon 30 days’ notice.

The Offering was made by the Company, acting without a placement agent, pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form SB-2 (File No. 333-143618) which was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on August 6, 2007. The Subscription Amount will be held in escrow for the benefit of the Company pending the receipt by the Company of approvals from the American Stock Exchange and the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange for the listing of the Shares, and until the Company’s transfer agent has confirmed that the Shares are available for issuance via the DWAC system, which the Company is in the process of implementing

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CURRENCY FLUCTUATIONS

Effective January 1, 2007, we changed our functional and reporting currency from the Great Britain Pounds ("GBP") to the U.S. dollar for the reason that the majority of our transactions and balances are denominated in U.S. dollars. Consistent with SFAS No. 52 “Foreign Currency Translation” the change in functional currency will be accounted for prospectively; therefore, there is no effect on our historical consolidated financial statements. The translated amounts for non-monetary assets at December 31, 2006 became the accounting basis for those assets as of January 1, 2007. 54.3% and 17.1% of our revenues in the first half of 2007 were derived from our U.K. and Israeli operations, respectively. In the first half of 2007, approximately 68% of the direct traffic costs in Israel were in GBP and the rest were in New Israeli Shekels (“NIS”). We believe that the U.S. and Israeli portions of our revenues will increase in the second half of 2007.

For continuing transactions made in currencies other then US dollar we use a current conversion rate. For noncontingent past transactions made in currencies other then US dollar we use the conversion rate of the time of transaction.

Our costs of revenues are mainly in U.S. dollars and GBP.

Most of our assets, liabilities, revenues and expenditures are in U.S. dollars and GBP. The remainder of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenditures are in NIS. We anticipate that in the second half of 2007 the portion of U.S. dollars will continue to grow although the portion of GBP will stay significant.

A devaluation of the GBP or the NIS in relation to the U.S. dollar will have the effect of decreasing the U.S. dollar value of all assets and liabilities that are in GBP or NIS. Conversely, any increase in the value of the GBP or the NIS in relation to the U.S. dollar will have the effect of increasing the U.S. dollar value of all GBP or NIS assets and the U.S. dollar amounts of any GBP or NIS 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.

On October 4, 2000, we acquired Swiftnet Limited which had a business plan to provide comprehensive range of telecommunication services and products, integrated through one website. Swiftnet was incorporated in 1990 under the laws of the United Kingdom and is headquartered in London, England. Until 1999, the main revenues for Swiftnet were derived from messaging and fax broadcast services. During 2000, Swiftnet shifted its business focus to voice services and now offers a comprehensive range of calling services to resellers and end customers. 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 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.

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 U.S. 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. The management agreement provided that all revenues generated from WS Telecom business operations would be assigned and transferred to Xfone USA. The term of the management agreement commenced on July 1, 2004, and continued until the consummation of the merger on March 10, 2005.  Headquartered in Jackson, Mississippi, Xfone USA, Inc. is an integrated telecommunications service provider that owns and operates its own facilities-based, telecommunications switching system and network.

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, Xfone, Inc, 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 Xfone, Inc 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. The term of the I-55 Internet Management Agreement commenced on October 11, 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 Internet Services, we issued a total of 789,863 shares of our common stock valued at $2,380,178 and 603,939 warrants exercisable for a period of five years into shares of our common stock, with an exercise price of $3.31, valued based on the Black Scholes option-pricing model (the “Xfone Stock and Warrant Consideration”). A portion of the Xfone Stock and Warrant Consideration issued at closing was placed in an escrow account, to be held pending certain adjustments. The Company subsequently made the following two claims against such escrow account: Claim #1: The Company made a claim on March 27, 2007 to adjust the total consideration based upon the changes in customer billings as determined pursuant to a formula set forth in the First Amendment to the Merger Agreement (the “Customer Billing Adjustment Amount”), which the Company had determined was $247,965.57. Claim #2: The Company determined an undisclosed liability, in accordance with Article 6.03 of the I-55 Internet Services, Inc. Merger Agreement (as amended), in the amount of $147,550 and on November 28, 2006, sent a claim for this amount. The Shareholder Representatives of I-55 Internet Services disputed the amounts in both claims submitted and so the parties entered into negotiations on May 2, 2007, where they agreed to reduce the amount claimed in Claim #1 to $143,017.11 to account for reconciliation of previously unconfirmed balances that had been applied in calculating the claim figure, and agreed to reduce the original Loss amount claimed in Claim #2 by $6,800.00, representing additional services purchased with Zipa, Inc. under the direction of Xfone USA during the Management Agreement period from October 2005 through March 2006. Upon settlement of the claims, two Joint Deposition Notices for the escrow agent, Trustmark National Bank, were delivered to the Shareholder Representatives of I-55 Internet Services for execution, however, a Shareholder Representative refused to execute the notices pending approval of the figures by the shareholders of I-55 Internet Services at a meeting.  On June 7, 2007, the shareholders met and rejected the figure agreed upon with respect to Claim #1, and accepted the figure agreed upon with respect to Claim #2.  There has been no further action taken with respect to Claim #2.  As a result of the rejection of the figure for Claim #1, the Company officially retracted the Joint Deposition of Escrow Claim, and consequently the original Pending Claim Notice dated March 27, 2007 in the amount of $247,965.57 is still claimed. 

In conjunction with that certain Letter Agreement dated October 10, 2005 with MCG Capital Corporation, 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, hosting 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.

Xfone USA now provides bundled services of voice and data (broadband 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 our 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, LLC, we issued a total of 223,702 shares of our common stock valued at $671,687 and 79,029 warrants exercisable for a period of five years into shares of our common stock, with an exercise price of $3.38, valued based on the Black Scholes option-pricing model (the “Xfone Stock and Warrant Consideration”). A portion of the Xfone Stock and Warrant Consideration issued at closing was placed in an escrow. The Company determined a breach of the representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement resulting from the failure of I-55 Telecommunications to disclose the liability due and payable to the Louisiana Universal Service Fund (“LA USF”) through the period of October 2005, at which time Xfone USA undertook the management role of I-55 Telecommunications.  Pursuant to Section 1(g) of the Escrow Agreement dated as of March 31, 2006 by and among Xfone USA, the Escrow Agent, and the President and Sole Member of I-55 Telecommunications, and in accordance with Article 6.02 of the Merger Agreement, Xfone USA notified the other parties that it believed that it had suffered a Loss of $30,625.52, pursuant to the provisions of Article 6.02 of the Merger Agreement dated as of August 26, 2005. Having not received any response from the President and Sole Member of I-55 Telecommunications, nor from his counsel, on October 15, 2007, and after the allotted response time allowed, Xfone USA instructed the Escrow Agent (Trustmark National Bank) to deliver from the Escrow Fund of the President and Sole Member of I-55 Telecommunications, to the Company, 7,043 shares of Common Stock and 4,838 Xfone Stock Warrants.
 
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 Louisiana and Mississippi to both individuals and businesses. Prior to the merger with and into Xfone USA, I-55 Telecommunications was a licensed facility based CLEC operating in Louisiana and Mississippi with a next generation class 5 carrier switching platform. I-55 Telecommunications provided a complete package of local and long distance services to residential and business customers across both states. As a result of the merger, Xfone USA has now expanded its On-Net (facilities) service area, through I-55 Telecommunications, into New Orleans, Louisiana and surrounding areas, including Hammond, Louisiana and Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Xfone USA is expanding its sales offices to include New Orleans, in an effort to continue revenue growth and increase market share in the revitalized city, as well as into Biloxi, Mississippi, Hammond, Louisiana and Baton Rouge, Louisiana. 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, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and Biloxi, Mississippi, 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 opportunity 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. As a result of further negotiations between us and EBI, we have agreed to pay the total consideration of this acquisition in cash in the amount of $85,699 in monthly payments of $10,000 until paid in full, and we made the first of such payments on June 1, 2007. The acquisition was not significant from an accounting perspective.

The Equitalk Agreement provided for us to acquire Equitalk in a restricted common stock and warrant transaction valued at $1,650,000. The acquisition was completed on July 3, 2006, and on that date Equitalk became our wholly owned subsidiary. In conjunction with the completion of the acquisition and in exchange for all of the capital stock of Equitalk, we issued a total of 402,192 restricted shares of our common stock and a total of 281,872 warrants exercisable at $3.025 per share for a period of five years. Founded in December 1999, Equitalk, a VC-financed company, was the first fully automated e-telco in the United Kingdom. Equitalk provides both residential and business customers with low-cost IDA and CPS voice services, broadband and teleconferencing.
 
On August 15, 2007, the Company, Swiftnet Limited, our wholly owned U.K.-based subsidiary (Swiftnet”), and Dan Kirschner entered into a definitive Share Purchase Agreement to be completed on the same date, pursuant to which Swiftnet purchased from Mr. Kirschner the 67.5% equity interest in Auracall Limited (“Auracall”) that he beneficially owned, thereby increasing Swiftnet’s ownership interest in Auracall from 32.5% to 100%.

The purchase price for the shares was £810,917.64 (approximately $1,669,958), payable as follows: £500,000 (approximately $1,029,672) was paid in cash upon signing of the Share Purchase Agreement, and the remaining £304,000, plus interest of £6,917.64 (approximately $640,286), is payable in monthly installments beginning in September 2007 and continuing through March 2008.

On August 22, 2007, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with NTS Communications, Inc. (“NTS”), a provider of integrated voice, data and video solutions headquartered in Lubbock, Texas, and the owners of approximately 85% of the equity interests in NTS (the “NTS Sellers”), to acquire NTS. Subsequently, all of the remaining shareholders of NTS executed the Agreement, bringing the total percentage of equity interests in NTS owned by NTS Sellers that entered into the Agreement to 100%. The aggregate purchase price is $42,000,000 (excluding acquisition related costs), plus (or less) (i) the difference between NTS’ estimated working capital and the working capital target for NTS as set forth in the Agreement, and (ii) the difference between amounts allocated by NTS for its fiber optic network build-out project anticipated in Texas and any indebtedness incurred by NTS in connection with this project, each of which is subject to Xfone’s advance written approval. The aggregate purchase price will be allocated to the NTS shareholders in accordance with each shareholder’s allocable share.

The Agreement also provided that the Company may offer to the NTS Sellers the opportunity to reinvest all or part of their allocable sale price in shares of the Company’s Common Stock, provided that the maximum number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock to be reinvested by all NTS Sellers in the aggregate does not exceed 30% of the total purchase price. 

On September 19, 2007, the Company made this offer to the NTS Sellers, in accordance with the Agreement. Seventeen NTS Sellers elected to reinvest all or a portion of their allocable sale price in the Company’s Common Stock, and entered into Subscription Agreements with the Company. Pursuant to such subscriptions, the Company accepted offers by NTS Sellers to reinvest an aggregate of $6,587,426.76 in the Company’s Common Stock upon closing of the acquisition. The Company’s Board of Directors determined, in accordance with the Agreement, that the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock to be delivered to each NTS Seller under this offering will be determined by dividing the portion of the NTS Seller’s allocable sale price that the NTS Seller elected to receive in shares of the Company’s Common Stock by 93% of the average closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the American Stock Exchange for the ten consecutive trading days preceding the trading day immediately prior to the closing date of the acquisition.

The offering of the shares of Common Stock to the NTS Sellers was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), but was made in reliance upon the exemptions from registration requirements of the Securities Act set forth in Section 4(2) thereof and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder, insofar as such securities are to be issued only to “accredited investors,” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D, and up to 35 non-accredited investors. The NTS Sellers will not have any registration rights with respect to the shares they will receive pursuant to this offering in accordance with the Agreement. Upon issuance of the shares, the NTS Sellers will have the same rights as shareholders currently owning the Company’s Common Stock.

The Agreement provides that the closing must occur not later than January 15, 2008 (the “Expiration Date”), unless the Expiration Date is extended or changed by the parties in accordance with the terms of, and under the circumstances described in, the Agreement. The Agreement also provides for payment of certain liquidated damages, in the event that the Agreement is terminated under specific circumstances.Completion of the acquisition is subject to certain conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals where relevant.

In connection with the consummation of the acquisition, it is anticipated that the parties will enter into additional related agreements, including a Release, an Escrow Agreement, an Amendment to Lease Agreement and a Noncompetition, Nondisclosure and Nonsolicitation Agreement. In addition, in connection with the transaction, the Company had entered into a Letter of Joint Venture dated June 15, 2007 with NTS Holdings, Inc. (“NTS Holdings”), an entity owned by Barbara Andrews (a/k/a Barbara Baldwin), who currently serves as NTS’ President and CEO, Jerry Hoover, who currently serves as NTS’ Executive Vice President – Chief Financial Officer, and Brad Worthington, who currently serves as NTS’ Executive Vice President – Chief Operating Officer. Pursuant to its terms, upon consummation of the acquisition, the Letter of Joint Venture will terminate, and it is anticipated that the Company will enter into a Free Cash Flow Participation Agreement with NTS Holdings, and that NTS will enter into Employment Agreements with each of Ms. Baldwin, Mr. Hoover and Mr. Worthington.

SIMPLE: The SIMPLE is a pre programmed, rechargeable, mobile SIM card which can be used with any unlocked GSM (Global System for Mobiles) mobile phone virtually anywhere in the world. SIMPLE allows us to deliver call savings, by diverting the customer dialing command away from the local mobile operator that the phone is connected to, and instead, it sends the call to one of the UK’s largest mobile operators with whom we hold a special agreement. We offer for sale or rent two types of SIM Cards - a local SIM Card which may be used only from a specific country, and a global SIM Card which may be used from over 90 countries around the globe.

·
International Telephony Access: We provide international telephony access to the Israeli telephone network by selling incoming call minutes to various international operators across the globe.

·
Our Israel based subsidiary Xfone 018 owns and operates its own facilities-based telecommunications carrier class switching platform.

Our Distribution and Marketing Methods

We use the following distribution methods to market our services:

·
We use employed, direct sales executives to sell to medium to large size business customers; these sales executives have quota attainment requirements and receive a monthly salary, allowance and are paid commissions;

·
We actively recruit independent contractor agents and resellers who purchase telephone traffic directly from us at a discount, and who then resell this telephone traffic to their customers at a mark-up according to their own price lists;

·
We utilize agents that sell our services directly to customers at our established prices; these agents receive a commission of approximately 5%-12% of the total sale amount less any bad debts;

·
We use third party direct sales organizations (telesales and door-to-door) to register new customers;

·
We cooperate with major companies and worker’s councils;

·
We use direct marketing, including by newspaper and radio advertisements;

·
We attend telecommunications trade shows to promote our services; and

·
We utilize the Internet as an additional distribution channel for our services. We utilize Xfone.com as our brand name for our new e-commerce telecommunications operations.

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.

-86-

Carriers and Negotiating Lower Rates

Our increased sales in 2004, 2005 and 2006 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.

Divisions

We operate the following divisions:

·
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.

·
Customer Service Division - In the United Kingdom and the United States we operate a live customer service center that operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In Israel our customer service center operates 6 days a week.

·
Operations Division - Our Operations Division provides the following operational functions to our business: (a) 24 hour/7 day a week technical support; (b) inter-company network; (c) hardware and software installations; and (d) operating switch and other platforms.

·
Administration Division - Our Administration Division provides the billing, collection, credit control, and customer support aspects of our business.

·
Research and Development - The function of our Research and Development Division is to develop and improve our billing system, switch and telephony platforms, websites and special projects.

·
Retail - Our Retail Division is responsible for our marketing and selling campaigns that target potential and existing retail customers.

Geographic Markets

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

Competitive Business Conditions

-87-

The U.K. Market

The communications and information services industry in the U.K. is highly competitive and varied. In 2006, we had only approximately 0.1% of the market share of the United Kingdom telecommunication market (not including mobiles revenues), based on our revenues of $17.0 million during 2006, compared with the approximately $10.1 billion telecommunication market (not including mobiles revenues) in the United Kingdom, 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.

The U.S. Market

In 2006 we had approximately 13,500 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 approximately 0.2% of market share. This total market size in 2006 represented 5,789,992 telephone lines, with BellSouth Telecommunications maintaining its monopoly market share with 4,877,791 telephone lines or approximately 84% of the market. All CLECs combined made up the remaining 921,201 telephone lines or approximately 16% of the tri-state market, according to the 2006 FCC Report - Trends in Local Telephone Competition.

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 therefore all six providers had to offer low prices in order to attract or retain subscribers and call minutes.

During 2006, two significant mergers occurred in the Israeli international telephony market, leaving only four companies in the competition. The implications of these two mergers are yet to be noticed. However, we believe that the mergers will result in a moderate rates increase which may raise Xfone 018 revenues in 2007. The aforementioned mergers enabled Xfone 018 to execute, as of December 2006, a new business strategy, according to which it re-priced its services by distinguishing the rates for its subscribed customers from the rates for its non-subscribed customers. We believe that the new strategy shall prove to be successful, and that in 2007 no significant market share will be lost as a result of its implementation.

In 2006, the Israeli international telephony market was estimated to be 2.6 billion minutes. We estimate our market share as of December 31, 2006, as approximately 5.5% of the Israeli market.

-88-

Principal Suppliers

In 2006, our principal suppliers of telephone routing and switching services according to the percentage of the costs of revenues were:

·
“the new ATT” (formerly BellSouth Telecommunications) - 31%

·
British Telecommunications - 28%

·
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 - in the U.S. - pre-subscribed customers; outside of the U.S. - pre-subscribed customers and customers who must dial a special code to access our switch or acquire a box that dials automatically.

·
Commercial - we serve small to complex business customers around the world.

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

·
Resellers - We provide them with our telephone and messaging services for a wholesale price.

·
Telecommunications companies - We provide our services through telecommunication companies (such as British Telecom and Bezeq The Israel Telecommunication Corp) which collect the fees relating to such services and forward them to us.

·
Mobile Users - including customers who can access our switch utilizing their free cross-network minutes and thereafter able to make low-cost international calls; customers who purchase, via a reversed billed SMS, pre-paid credit for international calls and those using our international roaming SIM cards.

-89-

Certain Telecommunication operators act as collection channels for the Company. In 2006 we had two major collection channels, one in the U.K. and one in Israel. Collections through these channels accounted to approximately 18% and 5% of our total revenues in 2006, and 23% and 19% of our total revenues in 2005. With respect to collection of monies for us, these Telecommunication operators are not deemed to be customers of the Company.

Our largest non affiliated reseller is WorldNet Global Communications Ltd. which generated approximately 1% of our total revenues during the year 2006. 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 2007. 

Collectively, in 2006 the United Kingdom accounts for approximately 44.7% of our revenues, the United States accounts for approximately 40.8% of our revenues and Israel accounts for approximately 14.5% 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 August 6, 2007, Xfone 018 received notification from the Israeli Patent Office that as of March 30, 2007, its Mark, “Xfone 018”, was registered by that government agency.

We do not have any other patents or registered 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.
-90-


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

Swiftnet Limited, Equitalk.co.uk Limited, Auracall Limited and Story Telecom Limited 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. Our UK businesses are also affected by the rules set by regulator for Premium Rate Services (Phonepay Plus - www.phonepayplus.org.uk). We do not believe that any regulations introduced by Ofcom or Phonepay Plus will significantly interfere with or substantially impair our business.

On April 15, 2004, we established Xfone Communication Ltd. and renamed it 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.

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 May 31, 2007 the permission expired.

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 took the results of the Proceeding under advisement. On October 20, 2006 the Commission issued its Order in this matter, requiring various changes to Interconnection Agreements between BellSouth Telecommunications, Inc. and all CLECs in Mississippi, including the Interconnection Agreement under which Xfone USA operates. The issues addressed by the Commission in this Proceeding were regulatory in nature and did not involve monetary damages.

-91-

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 2005, we spent £6,896 ($14,060) on research and development activities. During fiscal year 2006, we spent £23,333 ($47,573) on research and development activities. During the first quarter of 2007 we spent $15,778 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 2007.
 
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 30 employees in the United Kingdom, 77 employees in the United States, and 41 employees in Israel.

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, at that time 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 Magistrate Court rendered a judgment in this matter, rejecting our claims. On October 16, 2005, we filed an appeal with the District Court of Tel - Aviv. On December 28, 2006, the District Court rescinded the judgment of the Magistrate Court. The case was returned to the Magistrate Court for writing a new reasoned judgment. On May 28, 2007, the Magistrate Court rendered a new judgment, rejecting our claims. On July 15, 2007 we filed an appeal with the District Court of Tel - Aviv.

-92-

 II. MCI WorldCom Limited (currently operating as “Verizon Business”)

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 £1,640,440 ($3,377,324) plus interest accruing at a daily rate of £401 ($826) which at the date of claim had amounted to £92,317 ($190,112). 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 ($632,412) 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 ($1,382,048) in credits in relation to amounts paid on account and wrongly attributed by MCI to over-billed invoices. 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 carry the full amount Swiftnet has calculated that it owes to MCI based on the data held in Swiftnet’s billing systems.

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 ($107,086) 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 ($111,205). 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 plc 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. Full hearing took place on January 18, 2007, during which the court ordered Halifax plc to pay Story Telecom any monies held in Mr. Baber’s account. Halifax plc transferred approximately £1,200 ($2,471) to Story Telecom’s account as these were all the monies available. Story Telecom will request that the court order Mr. Baber to attend court for questioning regarding his financial situation, whereby he will also be required to detail all his assets. Following such questioning Story Telecom will look to pursue the most likely to succeed course of action in collecting the monies due.

IV. Gilad Amozeg

On June 4, 2007, the Company was informed that Gilad Amozeg, a former officer of the Company had filed a complaint with the United States Department of Labor - Occupational Safety and Health Administration ("OSHA") alleging discriminatory employment practices in violation of Section 806 of the Corporate and Criminal Fraud Accountability Act of 2002, Title VIII of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.  The complaint alleged that Mr. Amozeg was terminated from his position as Chief Financial Officer of the Company as a result of his purportedly engaging in “protected activity” as defined under Section 806 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and sought reinstatement of Mr. Amozeg’s position with the Company and damages from the Company.  On June 20, 2007, the Company notified OSHA, in writing through counsel, that because the statute in question does not apply extraterritorially to employees outside of the United States, OSHA has no jurisdiction over the complaint, which should be dismissed on that basis alone.  In addition, the Company denies that Mr. Amozeg’s termination was the result of any statutory “protected activities” or for any improper reason and asserts that the termination related to Mr. Amozeg's inability to properly perform his job responsibilities.  By letter dated July 18, 2007, OSHA dismissed the complaint, informing the parties that "[f]ollowing an investigation," it had found "no reasonable cause to believe that [the Company] violated [the statute in question]" because Mr. Amozeg was "not an employee covered under [the statute]."  Mr. Amozeg had thirty days from his counsel's receipt of that dismissal to file objections and request a hearing before a Department of Labor Administrative Law Judge. He did not do so and the dismissal therefore became final and not subject to judicial review.

-93-

V. Nir Davison
 
On July 25, 2007, the Company received notification of a claim filed on July 23, 2007 by Nir Davison with the United Kingdom Employment Tribunals, against Story Telecom Limited, the Company’s majority-owned subsidiary, alleging wrongful termination of his employment as Managing Director. The claim does not seek any specific damages. On August 21, 2007, the Company responded to the United Kingdom Employment Tribunal by rejecting Mr. Davison's claim. The Company intends to vigorously defend the claim.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2006
 

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, video and data telecommunications services, including: local, long distance and international telephony services; prepaid and postpaid calling cards; cellular services; Internet services; messaging services (Email/Fax Broadcast, Email2Fax and Cyber-Number); and reselling opportunities, 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. and its two wholly owned subsidiaries, eXpeTel Communications, Inc. and Gulf Coast Utilities, Inc. (collectively, " Xfone USA ") - wholly owned U.S. subsidiary.

 
-
Story Telecom, Inc. and its two wholly owned subsidiaries, Story Telecom Limited and Story Telecom (Ireland) Limited (which was dissolved on February 23, 2007) (collectively, " Story Telecom ") - majority owned U.S. subsidiary, in which Xfone holds a 69.9% ownership share.

 
-
Xfone 018 Ltd. ("Xfone 018") - wholly owned Israeli subsidiary in which Xfone holds a 69% ownership share.

 
B.
On October 4, 2000, Xfone 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 and is headquartered in London, England. 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.

 
C.
On April 15, 2004, Xfone 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. Xfone 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.

 
D.
On May 28, 2004, Xfone 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 Xfone's wholly owned U.S. 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. The management agreement provided that all revenues generated from WS Telecom business operations would be assigned and transferred to Xfone USA. The term of the management agreement commenced on July 1, 2004, and continued until the consummation of the merger on March 10, 2005.  Headquartered in Jackson, Mississippi, Xfone USA. is an integrated telecommunications service provider that owns and operates its own facilities-based, telecommunications switching system and network. Xfone USA provides residential and business customers with high quality local, long distance and high-speed broadband Internet services, as well as cable television services in certain planned residential communities in Mississippi. Xfone USA is licensed to provide telecommunications services in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi. Xfone USA utilizes integrated multi-media offerings - combining digital voice, data and video services over broadband technologies - all on one single itemized bill.

E.
On August 18, 2005, Xfone 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, Xfone 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, Xfone entered into a First Amendment to the Merger Agreement, by and among I-55 Internet Services, Xfone, Inc, Xfone USA, Inc. and Hunter McAllister and Brian Acosta, key employees of I-55 Internet Services, in order to induce Xfone 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. The term of the I-55 Internet Management Agreement commenced on October 11, 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 Internet Services, Xfone issued a total of 789,863 shares of its common stock valued at $2,380,178 and 603,939 warrants exercisable for a period of five years into shares of its common stock, with an exercise price of $3.31, valued based on the Black Scholes option-pricing model (the "Xfone Stock and Warrant Consideration"). A portion of the Xfone Stock and Warrant Consideration issued at closing was placed in an escrow. The First Amendment to the I-55 Merger Agreement provides for an adjustment to the consideration paid based on changes in customer billings as determined pursuant to a certain formula (the "Customer Billing Adjustment Amount"). Xfone has determined that the Customer Billing Adjustment Amount is $247,965 and on March 27, 2007, sent a claim for this amount against the escrowed portion of the Xfone Stock and Warrant Consideration.

I-55 Internet Services provided Internet access and related services, such as installation of various networking equipment, website design, hosting 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 (broadband Internet) to customers throughout its service areas.

F.
On August 26, 2005, Xfone 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, Xfone 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 Xfone's 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, Xfone issued a total of 223,702 shares of its common stock valued at $671,687 and 79,029 warrants exercisable into shares of its common stock, with an exercise price of $3.38, valued based on the Black Scholes option-pricing model.

I-55 Telecommunications provided voice, data and related services throughout Louisiana and Mississippi to both individuals and businesses. Prior to the merger with and into Xfone USA, I-55 Telecommunications was a licensed facility based CLEC operating in Louisiana and Mississippi with a next generation class 5 carrier switching platform. I-55 Telecommunications provided a complete package of local and long distance services to residential and business customers across both states. As a result of the merger, Xfone USA has now expanded its On-Net (facilities) service area, through I-55 Telecommunications, into New Orleans, Louisiana and surrounding areas, including Hammond, Louisiana and Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Xfone USA is expanding its sales offices to include New Orleans, in an effort to continue revenue growth and increase market share in the revitalized city, as well as into Biloxi, Mississippi, Hammond, Louisiana and Baton Rouge, Louisiana. 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, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and Biloxi, Mississippi, 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 opportunity areas becoming a primary alternative to the monopoly Incumbent Local Exchange Company.

Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, Xfone increased its ownership interest in Story Telecom from 39.2% to 69.6% in a cash transaction valued at $1,200,000. $900,000 of the total consideration was applied to payables owed by Story Telecom to Xfone and its subsidiary Swiftnet Limited for back-end telecommunications services. The balance of $300,000 was paid to Story Telecom, and is being used as working capital. Story Telecom, Inc., a telecommunication service provider, operated in the United Kingdom through its two wholly owned subsidiaries, Story Telecom Limited and Story Telecom (Ireland) Limited (which was dissolved on February 23, 2007). Story Telecom operates as a division of Xfone's operations in the United Kingdom. Founder and CEO of Story Telecom, Nir Davison, remained as Managing Director of the division. The stock purchase pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement was completed on May 16, 2006.
 
Pursuant to the above-mentioned Stock Purchase Agreement, at certain dates and provided Story Telecom meets certain business and financial covenants, Nir Davison and Trecastle Holdings Limited shall have the option to sell to the Company all of their shares in Story Telecom for U.S. $450,000 in cash, or equivalent in the Company's common stock (to be decided by the Company). In addition, at certain dates and provided Story Telecom meets certain business and financial covenants, the Company shall have the option to buy from Nir Davison and Trecastle Holdings Limited all of their shares in Story Telecom for U.S. $900,000 in cash, or equivalent in the Company's common stock (to be decided by the Company). The Stock Purchase Agreement further provides that upon request from Story Telecom, and provided certain conditions are met, the Company shall provide all consents necessary to make Story Telecom a publicly traded company through a distribution of its shares as a dividend to the shareholders of the Company, or a similar transaction. If the Company will fail to provide all necessary consents it shall have to buy from Nir Davison and Trecastle Holdings Limited all their shares of Story Telecom for $1,000,000, paid 70% in the Company's shares, valued at market price on an average of 30 trading days, and 30% in cash.

As of May 10, 2006 the Company had a £1,010,030 receivable from Global VOIP Services Limited ("Global VOIP"), an Irish company which provided telecom services. Story Telecom, Inc. and/or its subsidiaries owed £1,010,030 to Global VOIP. In separate agreements, subsequent to the May 10, 2006 Stock Purchase Agreement, Story Telecom, Inc and/or its subsidiaries were assigned the £1,010,030 receivable and payable on Global VOIP's books. The assignment of Global VOIP's receivable and payable resulted in a non-cash transaction that removed Globe VOIP's receivable from the books of the Company and results in inter-company receivables and payables that eliminate in consolidation. There is no income statement effect to these transactions.

L.
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.

 
M.
The financial statements have been translated into U.S. dollars using the rate of exchange of the U.S. dollar at December 31, 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 December 31, 2006 was £1 = $1.959.

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 B15



Xfone, Inc. and Subsidiaries
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2006
 

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. An allowance for doubtful accounts is determined with respect to those amounts that the Company has determined to be doubtful of collection. 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, 2006 the accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of £1,286,548.

 
C.
Investments

Investments in affiliates over which the Company 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.
Fixed Assets

Fixed Assets are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated based on a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Annual rates of depreciation are as follows:
    
 
 
Useful Life
 
Switching equipment
 
 
10 years
 
Machinery and equipment
 
 
3-4 years
 
Furniture and fixtures
 
 
4-14 years
 
Motor vehicles
 
 
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.

Customer base and trade name related to merger and acquisitions are amortized over a period between 6-7 years from the date of the purchase.

 
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. The Company evaluates 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.

Revenue for services is recognized when the related services are provided. Payments received in advance are deferred until the service is provided.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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.

Effective the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal year 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 123R using the modified prospective transition method. Under this method, prior periods are not restated. The Company use the Black-Scholes option pricing model which requires extensive use of accounting judgment and financial estimates, including estimates of the expected term participants will retain their vested stock options before exercising them, the estimated volatility of its common stock price over the expected term, and the number of options that will be forfeited prior to the completion of their vesting requirements. Application of alternative assumptions could produce significantly different estimates of the fair value of stock-based compensation and consequently, the related amounts recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The provisions of SFAS 123R apply to new stock options and stock options outstanding, but not yet vested, on the date the Company adopted SFAS 123R. Stock-based compensation expense was included in applicable departmental expense categories in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
 
 
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. No impairment was recorded at December 31, 2006 and 2005.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
1) FIN 48
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FIN 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes--an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109," which seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with the accounting and reporting for uncertainty in income tax positions. This Interpretation prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in an income tax return. FIN 48 presents a two-step process for evaluating a tax position. The first step is to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. The second step is to measure the benefit to be recorded from tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, by determining the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement, and recognizing that amount in the financial statements. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effect, if any, the adoption of FIN 48 will have on its consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

2) FAS 157
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements," which provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 157 provides a common definition of fair value and establishes a framework to make the measurement of fair value in generally accepted accounting principles more consistent and comparable. SFAS No. 157 also requires expanded disclosures to provide information about the extent to which fair value is used to measure assets and liabilities, the methods and assumptions used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measures on earnings. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and to interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effect, if any, the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on its consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
 
3) SAB 108
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 108, "Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements". SAB No. 108 was issued in order to eliminate the diversity in practice surrounding how public companies quantify financial statement misstatements. SAB No. 108 requires that registrants quantify errors using both a balance sheet (iron curtain) approach and an income statement (rollover) approach then evaluate whether either approach results in a misstated amount that, when all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors are considered, is material. SAB No. 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The Company has adopted the bulletin during 2006. The adoption did not have a material effect on its consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
 
A.
In August 2002, Swiftnet 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, Swiftnet alleged an unpaid debt due to Swiftnet in the amount of $50,000 from MG Telecom for services rendered by Swiftnet to MG Telecom. The debt arose from an agreement between Swiftnet and MG Telecom, at that time 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 Magistrate 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. On December 28, 2006, the District Court rescinded the judgment of the Magistrate Court. The case was returned to the Magistrate Court for writing a new reasoned judgment. 

 
B.
Swiftnet 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 ($3,213,622) plus interest accruing at a daily rate of £401 ($786) which at the date of claim had amounted to £92,317 ($180,849). 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 ($601,597) 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 ($1,314,706) 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 carry the full amount Swiftnet has calculated that it owes to MCI based on the data held in Swiftnet's billing systems.

In August 2006, Story Telecom Limited 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 ($101,868) 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 ($105,786). 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 plc 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. Full hearing took place on January 18, 2007, during which the court ordered Halifax plc to pay Story Telecom any monies held in Mr. Baber's account. Halifax plc transferred approximately £1,200 ($2,351) to Story Telecom's account as these were all the monies available. On March 3, 2007, the court, following Story Telecom's request, ordered Mr. Baber to attend court on April 3, 2007, for questioning regarding his financial situation whereby he will also be required to detail all his assets. Following such questioning Story Telecom will look to pursue the most likely to succeed course of action in collecting the monies due.

Stock Purchase Agreement

On June 19, 2000, Swiftnet Limited entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Abraham Keinan and Campbeltown Business Ltd. a company owned and controlled by Guy Nissenson and his family. This agreement provides that:
 
 
·
Abraham Keinan confirmed that all his businesses activities and initiatives in the field of telecommunications are conducted through Swiftnet, and would continue for at least 18 months after the conclusion of this transaction.
 
·
Campbeltown Business declared that it is not involved in any business that competes with Swiftnet and would not be involved in such business at least for 18 months after this transaction is concluded.
 
·
Campbeltown Business would invest $100,000 in Swiftnet, in exchange for 20% of the total issued shares of Swiftnet;
 
·
Campbeltown Business would also receive 5% of our issued and outstanding shares following our acquisition with Swiftnet. In June 2000, Campbeltown Business invested the $100,000 in Swiftnet. Xfone acquired Swiftnet and Campbeltown received 720,336 shares of our common stock for its 20% interest in Swiftnet.
 
·
Swiftnet and Abraham Keinan would guarantee that Campbeltown Business' 20% interest in the outstanding shares of Swiftnet would be exchanged for at least 10% of our outstanding shares and that Campbeltown Business would have in total at least 15% of our total issued shares after our acquisition occurred.
 
·
Campbeltown Business would have the right to nominate 33% of the members of our board of directors and Swiftnet's board of directors. When Campbeltown Business ownership in our common stock was less than 7%, Campbeltown Business would have the right to nominate only 20% of our board members but always at least one member. In the case that Campbeltown Business ownership in our common stock was less than 2%, this right would expire.
 
·
Campbeltown Business would have the right to nominate a vice president in Swiftnet. Mr. Guy Nissenson was nominated as of the time of the June 19, 2000 agreement. If for any reason Guy Nissenson will leave his position, Campbeltown Business and Abraham Keinan will agree on another nominee. The Vice President will be employed with suitable conditions.
 
·
Campbeltown Business will have the right to participate under the same terms and conditions in any investment or transaction that involve equity rights in Swiftnet or us conducted by Abraham Keinan at the relative ownership portion.
 
·
Keinan and Campbeltown Business have signed a right of first refusal agreement for the sale of their shares.
 
 
Until Xfone conducts a public offering or is traded on a stock market, we are not permitted to issue any additional shares or equity rights without a written agreement from Campbeltown Business. This right expires when Campbeltown no longer owns any equity interest or shares in Xfone or Swiftnet.
 
D.
The Company has commission agreements with various agents that are entitled to commission of approximately 5%-12% of the total sale amount less any bad debts.
 
Note 16 - Economic Dependency and Credit Risk

With respect to collection of monies for the Company, these Telecommunication operators are not deemed to be customers of the Company.

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.

Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies (Cont.)
 
B.
Foreign Currency Translation
 
Effective January 1, 2007, the Company changed its functional and reporting currency from the Great Britain Pound ("GBP") to the U.S. dollar for the reason that a majority of the Company's transactions and balances are denominated in U.S. dollars. Consistent with SFAS No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation" ("SFAS No. 52") the change in functional currency will be accounted for prospectively; therefore, there is no effect on the historical consolidated financial statements. The translated amounts for non-monetary assets at December 31, 2006 became the accounting basis for those assets as of January 1, 2007.
 
The determination of the functional currency for the Company's foreign subsidiaries is made based on the appropriate economic factors. In addition a substantial portion of the Company's costs are incurred in U.S. dollars. The Company's management believes that the U.S. dollar is the primary currency of the economic environment in which it operates. Thus, the Company's functional and reporting currency and the functional and reporting currency of certain of its subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar.
 
Accordingly, monetary accounts maintained in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are re-measured into U.S. dollars in accordance with SFAS No. 52. All gains and losses of the re-measurement of monetary balance sheet items are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations as financial income or expenses as appropriate. The Company's functional currency is US dollars, the Company's financial records are maintained in US dollars, and the Company's financial statements are prepared in US dollars. The functional currency of Swiftnet, Equitalk and Story Telecom is GBP, the financial records of these subsidiaries are maintained in GBP and the financial statements of these subsidiaries are prepared in GBP. The functional currency of Xfone 018 is New Israeli Shekels ("NIS"), the financial records of Xfone 018 are maintained in NIS, and the financial statements of Xfone 018 are prepared in NIS.
 
Foreign currency transactions during the period are translated into each company's denominated currency at the exchange rates ruling at the transaction dates. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the Company's consolidated statement of operations. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated into each company's denominated currency at period-end exchange rates. All exchange differences are dealt with in the consolidated statements of operations. The financial statements of the Company's operations based outside of the United States have been translated into US dollars in accordance with SFAS No. 52. When translating functional currency financial statements into US dollars, period-end exchange rates are applied to the consolidated balance sheet, while average period rates are applied to consolidated statements of operations. Translation gains and losses are recorded in translation reserve as a component of shareholders' equity.
 
C.
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. An allowance for doubtful accounts is determined with respect to those amounts that the Company has determined to be doubtful of collection. 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.
 
Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $1,589,905 and $2,520,348 at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

Other Intangible Assets
 
Other intangible assets with determinable lives consists of a license to provide communication services in Israel and are amortized over the 20 year term of the license.
 
Customer base and trade name related to mergers and acquisitions are amortized over a period ranging between 6-7 years from the date of the purchase.
 
E.
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.
 
F.
Stock-Based Compensation
 
Effective as of the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment ("SFAS 123R")  using the modified prospective transition method. SFAS 123R is a revision of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," and supercedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." Under this method, prior periods are not restated. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model which requires extensive use of accounting judgment and financial estimates, including estimates of the expected term for which participants will retain their vested stock options before exercising them, the estimated volatility of the Company's common stock price over the expected term, and the number of options that will be forfeited prior to the completion of their vesting requirements. Application of alternative assumptions could produce significantly different estimates of the fair value of stock-based compensation and consequently, the related amounts recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The provisions of SFAS 123R apply to new stock options and stock options outstanding, but not yet vested, on the date the Company adopted SFAS 123R. Stock-based compensation expense was included in applicable departmental expense categories in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
 
G.
Reclassification
 
Certain prior period balances in the consolidated statement of cash flows were reclassified to appropriately present net cash used in operating activities and effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents. The reclassification had no effect on previously reported net income and shareholders' equity.

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, Swiftnet alleges an unpaid debt due to it in the amount of $50,000 from MG Telecom for services rendered by Swiftnet to MG Telecom. The debt arose from an agreement between Swiftnet and MG Telecom, which at the time was 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 Magistrate Court rendered a judgment in this matter, rejecting Swiftnet's claims. On October 16, 2005, Swiftnet filed an appeal with the District Court of Tel - Aviv. On December 28, 2006, the District Court rescinded the judgment of the Magistrate Court. The case was returned to the Magistrate Court for writing a new reasoned judgment. On May 28, 2007, the Magistrate Court rendered a new judgment, rejecting Swiftnet's claims. On July 15, 2007 Swiftnet filed an appeal with the District Court of Tel - Aviv.
 
B.  
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 £1,640,440 ($3,300,897) plus interest accruing at a daily rate of £401 ($807) which at the date of claim had amounted to £92,317 ($185,810). 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 ($618,101) 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 ($1,305,773) in credits in relation to amounts paid on account and wrongly attributed by MCI to over-billed invoices. 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 carry the full amount Swiftnet has calculated that it owes to MCI based on the data held in Swiftnet's billing systems.

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 Baber. In this lawsuit, Story Telecom alleged an unpaid debt in the amount of £52,000 ($104,663) 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 ($108,688). 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 plc to hold any amounts available within Mr. Baber's account (up to the amount of the judgment of £54,000) in favor of Story Telecom until a full hearing takes place. The full hearing took place on January 18, 2007, during which the court ordered Halifax plc to pay Story Telecom any monies held in Mr. Baber's account. Halifax plc transferred approximately £1,200 ($2,415) to Story Telecom's account as these were all the monies available. Story Telecom intends to request that the court order Mr. Baber to attend court for questioning regarding his financial situation, whereby he would also be required to detail all his assets. Following such questioning Story Telecom intends to take every effort to collect the monies due.
 
D.  
On June 4, 2007, the Company was informed that Gilad Amozeg, a former officer of the Company had filed a complaint with the United States Department of Labor - Occupational Safety and Health Administration ("OSHA") alleging discriminatory employment practices in violation of Section 806 of the Corporate and Criminal Fraud Accountability Act of 2002, Title VIII of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.  The complaint alleged that Mr. Amozeg was terminated from his position as Chief Financial Officer of the Company as a result of his purportedly engaging in “protected activity” as defined under Section 806 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and sought reinstatement of Mr. Amozeg's position with the Company and damages from the Company.  On June 20, 2007, the Company notified OSHA, in writing through counsel, that because the statute in question does not apply extraterritorially to employees outside of the United States, OSHA has no jurisdiction over the complaint, which should be dismissed on that basis alone.  In addition, the Company denies that Mr. Amozeg's termination was the result of any statutory “protected activities” or for any improper reason and asserts that the termination related to Mr. Amozeg's inability to properly perform his job responsibilities. By letter dated July 18, 2007, OSHA dismissed the complaint, informing the parties that "[f]ollowing an investigation," it had found "no reasonable cause to believe that [the Company] violated [the statute in question]" because Mr. Amozeg was "not an employee covered under [the statute]."  Mr. Amozeg has thirty days from his counsel's receipt of that dismissal to file objections and request a hearing before a Department of Labor Administrative Law Judge, and if he does not do so within that period the dismissal will become final and not subject to judicial review.
 
E.  
On July 25, 2007, the Company received notification of a claim filed on July 23, 2007 by Nir Davison with the United Kingdom Employment Tribunals, against Story Telecom Limited, the Company's majority-owned subsidiary, alleging wrongful termination of his employment as Managing Director. The claim does not seek any specific damages. The Company intends to vigorously defend such action.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT           

The Board of Directors
NTS Communications, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Lubbock, Texas


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of NTS Communications, Inc. and subsidiaries as of July 31, 2007 and 2006 and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of NTS Communications, Inc., and subsidiaries as of July 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplementary information presented in the accompanying schedules is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements.  Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED JULY 31, 2007 AND 2006
 
1.  
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Company

NTS Communications, Inc. (NTS) and its wholly owned subsidiaries provide telecommunication services which are primarily engaged in selling or reselling long distance telephone service and providing local telephone, internet and video services to the general public, both commercial and residential.  These services are mainly provided within the continental United States with a concentration in the Southwestern United States.

NTS Communications, Inc. is a consolidated subsidiary of its majority-owned stockholder Telephone Electronics Corporation.

Principles of consolidation

The financial statements include the consolidated accounts of NTS Communications, Inc. and its four wholly-owned subsidiaries, Garey M. Wallace Company, Inc. dba GMW Company (inactive), NTS Properties, L.C., NTS Management Company, L.L.C., and NTS Construction Company.  All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

Revenue recognition

Revenues for long distance services are derived primarily from tolls charged to customers and to other long distance carriers.  Deferred revenues result from billing for local service in advance.  Revenues are recognized as telecommunication services are provided.

Allowance for bad debts

An allowance for bad debts for trade accounts receivable is computed on the reserve method and is considered adequate to absorb potential losses.  Trade receivables are charged off when management believes, after considering economic conditions, business conditions and collection efforts, that the collection of the account is doubtful.

Unbilled revenue

Unbilled revenue represents units of service provided by the Company prior to the end of the fiscal year, but not included in accounts receivable due to the timing of routine billing cycles.  Each month’s unbilled revenue is converted to accounts receivable by the end of the following month.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued

Inventory

Inventories consist primarily of telephone equipment and are stated at cost using the first-in, first-out method.

Cash equivalents

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash equivalents include all temporary cash investments with maturities of three months or less.

Notes Receivable and Allowance for Note Losses

Notes receivable are stated at unpaid principal balances, less an allowance, if deemed necessary, for note losses.  Interest on notes is recognized over the term of the note and is calculated using the simple-interest method on principal amounts outstanding.

Notes are placed on nonaccrual when management believes, after considering economic conditions, business condition, and collection efforts, that the notes are impaired or collection of interest is doubtful.  Uncollectible interest previously accrued is charged off, or an allowance is established by a charge to interest income.  Interest income on nonaccrual notes is recognized only to the extent cash payments are received.

Property, equipment and improvements

Communication systems and other property and equipment are recorded at cost.  Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are expensed as incurred. Betterments and improvements which substantially increase the useful lives of existing assets are capitalized.  When properties are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any profit or loss is credited or charged to income.

Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated service lives of assets.

Long-lived Assets

The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment using a discounted cash flows method whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  There was no impairment charged to expense during fiscal years ended July 31, 2007 and 2006.

1.      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICES, Continued

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess cost of companies acquired over the fair value of their identifiable net assets at the date of acquisition.  Goodwill is not amortized pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards No. 142.  The fair value of goodwill is estimated annually by using the expected present value of future cash flows.  There was no impairment charged to expense in 2007 and 2006.

Income taxes

Deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences on future years of differences between the tax basis of depreciable assets and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end.  Income taxes of future periods are calculated using current tax structure, rates, and credits which have been applied prospectively.  Deferred income tax liability results primarily from the excess of tax over book depreciation and the amortization of section 197 intangibles for book over tax.  Deferred tax asset results primarily from certain accrued expenses recorded per books not tax deductible until paid.

Advertising costs

The Company expenses the costs of advertising as incurred.  Total advertising costs expensed in 2007 and 2006 were $313,409 and $868,313, respectively.

Reclassifications

Certain accounts in the prior-year financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform with the presentation in the current-year financial statements.

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 reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

10.    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Shareholder Value, Ltd., leases office space to NTS Communications, Inc. The partners of Shareholder Value, Ltd., consist of stockholders of NTS Communications, Inc., and NTS Properties, L.C., the managing partner.  NTS Properties, L.C., is a wholly owned subsidiary of NTS Communications, Inc.  Total lease payments made to Shareholder Value, Ltd. for the years ended July 31, 2007 and 2006 was $771,714 for each year.

NTS Communications, Inc. also extended Shareholder Value Ltd., a line of credit in the amount of $2,000,000.  This note matures on October 31, 2014, with interest payments at 6.55% due annually on October 31.  At July 31, 2006, the principle balance outstanding was $1,983,192 with accrued interest of $97,098.  During 2007, this note was collected in its entirety along with all accrued interest.  Total interest received for the years ended July 31, 2007 and 2006 was $125,984 and $129,899, respectively.

NTS Communications, Inc. has provided long distance switching service to companies owned by NTS stockholders and directors, including Telephone Electronics Corporation, a stockholder, owning 63.47% of NTS common stock.  The service is provided at a price equal to that charged to unrelated dealers.
 
11.  
CONCENTRATION OF RISK

The Company customarily grants credit to its customers and generally does not require collateral.  A substantial portion of credit sales is to other long distance service providers.  Accordingly, conditions in the long distance telephone service industry, including actions by regulatory authorities, may significantly influence the ability to collect a substantial portion of its trade accounts receivable.

The Company maintained cash in excess of the federally insured limit of $100,000.  At July 31, 2007 and 2006, uninsured deposits were $7,214,581 and $6,342,595, respectively.

Xfone, Inc.
Pro Forma Combined Condensed Balance Sheet and Statements of Operations (Unaudited)
 
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information reflecting the combination of Xfone, Inc., Auracall Limited ("Auracall") and NTS Communications, Inc. ("NTS") is provided for informational purposes only. The pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of what the companies’ results of operations actually would have been had the merger been completed at the dates indicated. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not purport to project the future operating results of the combined company.

The amounts allocated to acquired assets and liabilities of NTS in the unaudited pro forma financial statements are based on management’s preliminary valuation estimates. Definitive allocations will be performed and finalized upon closing of the acquisition of NTS. Accordingly, the purchase price allocation pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited financial statements are preliminary and have been made for the purpose of providing unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and are subject to revision based on a final determination of fair value. In the opinion of management of the Company, all adjustments have been made that are necessary to present fairly the pro forma data.

The unaudited pro forma financial statements also include certain purchase accounting adjustments, including items expected to have a continuing impact on the consolidated results, such as decreased depreciation expense on acquired tangible assets and interest payment on debt. The unaudited pro forma statements do not include the impacts of any revenue, cost or other operating synergies that may result from the merger.

The pro forma combined Balance Sheet reflects the result of combining the consolidated balance sheet of Xfone, Inc and its subsidiaries and Auracall as of June 30, 2007 with the balance sheet of NTS as of July 31, 2007.

The Xfone, Inc. pro forma Statements of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2007 have been combined with the Auracall Statement of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and with NTS Statements of Operations for six months ended July 31, 2007.
 
The pro forma Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 is presented in GBP ("£") to conform with Xfone's financial reporting for the same period. The pro forma report was translated to U.S. dollars for convenience.

Any decision made, or action taken, by the Committee or in connection with the implementation, interpretation and administration of this Plan shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons or entities having an interest in this Plan.

Appendix E5

4.Eligibility

A. Eligibility for Awards. Awards, other than Incentive Stock Options, may be granted to any Eligible Person selected by the Committee, upon the recommendation of the Corporation’s management. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to employees of the Corporation or a Parent or a Subsidiary, upon the recommendation of the Corporation’s management.

B. Eligibility of Consultants. A Consultant shall be an Eligible Person only if the offer or sale of the Corporation’s securities would be eligible for registration on Form S-8 Registration Statement (or any successor form) because of the identity and nature of the service provided by such Consultant, unless the Corporation determines that an offer or sale of the Corporation’s securities to such Consultant will satisfy another exemption from the registration under the Securities Act and complies with the securities laws of all other jurisdictions applicable to such offer or sale.  Awards to Consultants shall be granted upon the recommendation of the Corporation’s management.

C. Substitution Awards. The Committee may make Awards under this Plan by assumption, in substitution or replacement of performance shares, phantom shares, stock awards, stock options, stock appreciation rights or similar awards granted by another entity (including an Affiliate) in connection with a merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock or similar transaction. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan (other than the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under this Plan), the terms of such assumed, substituted, or replaced Awards shall be as the Committee, in its discretion, determines is appropriate.

5.Common Stock Subject to Plan

A. Share Reserve and Limitations on Grants. The maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be (i) issued under this Plan pursuant to the exercise of Options, (ii) issued pursuant to Stock Awards shall be eight million (8,000,000). The number of shares of Common Stock subject to this Plan shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 9.  Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 9 and notwithstanding any provision hereto to the contrary, shares subject to this Plan shall include shares forfeited in a prior year as provided herein.  No single Participant may receive more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the total shares awarded in any single year. 

B. Reversion of Shares. If an Option or Stock Award is terminated, expires or becomes unexercisable, in whole or in part, for any reason, the unissued or unpurchased shares of Common Stock (or shares subject to an unexercised Stock Appreciation Right) which were subject thereto shall become available for future grant under this Plan. Shares of Common Stock that have been actually issued under this Plan shall not be returned to the share reserve for future grants under this Plan; except that shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to a Stock Award which are forfeited to the Corporation or repurchased by the Corporation at the original purchase price of such shares, shall be returned to the share reserve for future grant under this Plan.

C. Source of Shares. Common Stock issued under this Plan may be shares of authorized and unissued Common Stock or shares of previously issued Common Stock that have been reacquired by the Corporation.

6.Options

A. Award. In accordance with the provisions of Section 4, the Committee will designate each Eligible Person to whom an Option is to be granted, upon the recommendation of the Corporation’s management, and will specify the number of shares of Common Stock covered by such Option. The Stock Option Agreement shall specify whether the Option is an Incentive Stock Option or Nonqualified Stock Option, the exercise price of the such Option, the vesting schedule applicable to such Option, the expiration date of such Option, events of termination of such Option, and any other terms of such Option. The terms and conditions of Stock Option Agreements may change from time to time and need not be uniform with respect to Participants, and the terms and conditions of separate Options need not be identical. No Option that is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option shall be invalid for failure to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option but instead shall be deemed a Nonqualified Stock Option.

B. Option Price. The exercise price per share for Common Stock subject to an Option shall be determined by the Committee, but shall comply with the following:

Appendix E6

(i) The exercise price per share for Common Stock subject to an Option shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Price on the Date of Grant.

(ii) The exercise price per share for Common Stock subject to an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Participant who is deemed to be a Ten Percent Owner on the date such option is granted, shall not be less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Price on the Date of Grant.

C. Maximum Option Period. Unless a shorter period is provided by the Stock Option Agreement, the maximum period during which an Option may be exercised shall be seven (7) years from the Date of Grant of such Option. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option that is granted to a Participant who is or is deemed to be a Ten Percent Owner on the Date of Grant, such Option shall not be exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years from the Date of Grant.

D. Maximum Value of Options which are Incentive Stock Options. To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Price of the Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options granted to any Participant are exercisable for the first time during any calendar year (under all stock option plans of the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000 (or such other amount provided in Section 422 of the Code), the Options shall not be deemed to be Incentive Stock Options. For purposes of this section, the Fair Market Price of the Common Stock will be determined as of the time the Incentive Stock Option with respect to the Common Stock is granted. This section will be applied by taking Incentive Stock Options into account in the order in which they are granted.

E. Nontransferability. Options granted under this Plan which are intended to be Incentive Stock Options shall be nontransferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and during the lifetime of the Participant shall be exercisable by only the Participant to whom the Incentive Stock Option is granted. Except to the extent transferability of a Nonqualified Stock Option is provided for in the Stock Option Agreement or is approved by the Committee, during the lifetime of the Participant to whom the Nonqualified Stock Option is granted, such Option may be exercised only by the Participant. If the Stock Option Agreement so provides or the Committee so approves, a Nonqualified Stock Option may be transferred by a Participant through a gift or domestic relations order to the Participant’s Family Members to the extent in compliance with applicable securities laws and regulations and provided that such transfer is not a transfer for value (within the meaning of applicable securities laws and regulations). The holder of a Nonqualified Stock Option transferred pursuant to this section shall be bound by the same terms and conditions that governed the Option during the period that it was held by the Participant. No right or interest of a Participant in any Option shall be liable for, or subject to, any lien, obligation, or liability of such Participant, unless such obligation is to the Corporation itself or to an Affiliate.

F. Vesting. Options will vest as provided in the Stock Option Agreement. The Stock Option Agreement shall provide for specific vesting provisions.

G. Termination. Options will terminate as provided in the Stock Option Agreement. The Stock Option Agreement shall provide for specific events of termination.

H. Exercise. Subject to the provisions of this Plan and the applicable Stock Option Agreement, an Option may be exercised to the extent vested in whole at any time or in part from time to time at such times and in compliance with such requirements as the Committee shall determine. A partial exercise of an Option shall not affect the right to exercise the Option from time to time in accordance with this Plan and the applicable Stock Option Agreement with respect to the remaining shares subject to the Option. The Participant may face certain restrictions on his/her/its ability to exercise Options and/or sell underlying shares when such Participant is potentially in possession of insider information. The Corporation will make the Participant aware of any formal insider trading policy it adopts, and the provisions of such insider trading policy (including any amendments thereto) shall be binding upon the Participant.

I. Payment. Unless otherwise provided by the Stock Option Agreement, payment of the exercise price for an Option shall be made in cash or a cash equivalent acceptable to the Committee or if the Common Stock is traded on an established securities market, by payment of the exercise price by a broker-dealer or by the Option holder with cash advanced by the broker-dealer if the exercise notice is accompanied by the Option holder’s written irrevocable instructions to deliver the Common Stock acquired upon exercise of the Option to the broker-dealer or by delivery of the Common Stock to the broker-dealer with an irrevocable commitment by the broker-dealer to forward the exercise price to the Corporation. With the consent of the Committee, payment of all or a part of the exercise price of an Option may also be made (i) by surrender to the Corporation (or delivery to the Corporation of a properly executed form of attestation of ownership) of shares of Common Stock that have been held for such period prior to the date of exercise as is necessary to avoid adverse accounting treatment to the Corporation, or (ii) any other method acceptable to the Committee, including without limitation, the withholding of shares receivable upon settlement of the option in payment of the exercise price. If Common Stock is used to pay all or part of the exercise price, the sum of the cash or cash equivalent and the Fair Market Price (determined as of the date of exercise) of the shares surrendered must not be less than the Option price of the shares for which the Option is being exercised.

Appendix E7

J. Stockholder Rights. No Participant shall have any rights as a stockholder with respect to shares subject to an Option until the date of exercise of such Option and the certificate for shares of Common Stock to be received on exercise of such Option has been issued by the Corporation.

K. Disposition and Stock Certificate Legends for Incentive Stock Option Shares. A Participant shall notify the Corporation of any sale or other disposition of Common Stock acquired pursuant to an Incentive Stock Option if such sale or disposition occurs (i) within two years of the grant of an Option or (ii) within one year of the issuance of the Common Stock to the Participant. Such notice shall be in writing and directed to the Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation or in his/her absence, the Chief Executive Officer. The Corporation may require that certificates evidencing shares of Common Stock purchased upon the exercise of Incentive Stock Option issued under this Plan be endorsed with a legend in substantially the following form:

THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED PRIOR TO ___, 20___, IN THE ABSENCE OF A WRITTEN STATEMENT FROM THE CORPORATION TO THE EFFECT THAT THE CORPORATION IS AWARE OF THE FACTS OF SUCH SALE OR TRANSFER.

The blank contained in this legend shall be filled in with the date that is the later of (i) one year and one day after the date of the exercise of such Incentive Stock Option or (ii) two years and one day after the grant of such Incentive Stock Option.
L. No Repricing. In no event shall the Committee permit a Repricing of any Option without the approval of the stockholders of the Corporation.

7.Stock Awards

A. Stock Bonus Awards. Stock Bonus Awards shall be granted by the Committee upon the recommendation of the Corporation’s management. Each Stock Award Agreement for a Stock Bonus Award shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions (including provisions relating to consideration, vesting, reacquisition of shares following termination, and transferability of shares) as the Committee shall deem appropriate. The terms and conditions of Stock Award Agreements for Stock Bonus Awards may change from time to time and need not be uniform with respect to Participants, and the terms and conditions of separate Stock Bonus Awards need not be identical.

B. Restricted Stock Awards. Restricted Stock Awards shall be granted by the Committee upon the recommendation of the Corporation’s management. Each Stock Award Agreement for a Restricted Stock Award shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions (including provisions relating to purchase price, consideration, vesting, reacquisition of shares following termination, and transferability of shares) as the Committee shall deem appropriate. The terms and conditions of the Stock Award Agreements for Restricted Stock Awards may change from time to time and need not be uniform with respect to Participants, and the terms and conditions of separate Restricted Stock Awards need not be identical. Vesting of any grant of Restricted Stock Awards may be further conditioned upon the attainment of Performance Objectives established by the Committee in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 8 of this Plan regarding Performance Shares.

C. Stock Appreciation Rights. Stock Awards for Stock Appreciation Rights shall be granted by the Committee upon the recommendation of the Corporation’s management.  Each Stock Award Agreement for Stock Appreciation Rights shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions (including provisions relating to vesting, reacquisition of shares following termination, and transferability of shares) as the Committee shall deem appropriate. The terms and conditions of Stock Award Agreements for Stock Appreciation Rights may change from time to time and need not be uniform with respect to Participants, and the terms and conditions of separate Stock Appreciation Rights need not be identical. No Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable after the expiration of seven (7) years from the date such Stock Appreciation Right is granted. The base price per share for each share of Common Stock covered by an award of Stock Appreciation Rights shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Price of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant. In no event shall the Committee permit a Repricing of any Stock Appreciation Right without the approval of the stockholders of the Corporation. The Participant shall not have any rights as a stockholder with respect to the shares of Common Stock covered by an award of Stock Appreciation Rights and shall not have any right to vote such shares until the exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right.  If the payment made to reflect the increase in Fair Market Price is made in shares of Common Stock then the Participant will have all rights as a stockholder with respect to such shares.
Appendix E8


D. Deferred Shares. The Committee may authorize grants of Deferred Shares to Participants upon the recommendation of the Corporation’s management, and upon such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine in accordance with the following provisions:

(ii) Each grant may be made without additional consideration from the Participant or in consideration of a payment by the Participant that is less than the Fair Market Price on the date of grant.

(iii) Each grant shall provide that the Deferred Shares covered thereby shall be subject to a Deferral Period, which shall be fixed by the Committee on the date of grant, and any grant or sale may provide for the earlier termination of such period in the event of a change in control of the Corporation or other similar transaction or event.

(iv) During the Deferral Period, the Participant shall not have any right to transfer any rights under the subject Award, shall not have any rights of ownership in the Deferred Shares and shall not have any right to vote such shares, but the Committee may on or after the date of grant, authorize the payment of dividend or other distribution equivalents on such shares in cash or additional shares on a current, deferred or contingent basis.

(v) Any grant, or the vesting thereof, may be further conditioned upon the attainment of Performance Objectives established by the Committee in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 8 of this Plan regarding Performance Shares.

(v) Each grant shall specify the time and manner of payment of Performance Shares that shall have been earned, and any grant may specify that any such amount may be paid by the Corporation in cash, shares of Common Stock or any combination thereof and may either grant to the Participant or reserve to the Committee the right to elect among those alternatives.

(vi) Any grant of Performance Shares may specify that the amount payable with respect thereto may not exceed a maximum specified by the Committee on the date of grant.

(viii) If provided in the terms of the grant and subject to the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code (in the case of awards intended to qualify for exception therefrom), the Committee may adjust Performance Objectives and the related minimum acceptable level of achievement if, in the sole judgment of the Committee, events or transactions have occurred after the date of grant that are unrelated to the performance of the Participant and result in distortion of the Performance Objectives or the related minimum acceptable level of achievement.

9.Changes in Capital Structure

A. No Limitations of Rights. The existence of outstanding Awards shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Corporation or its stockholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the Corporation’s capital structure or its business, or any merger or consolidation of the Corporation, or any issuance of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stock ahead of or affecting the Common Stock or the rights thereof, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

B. Changes in Capitalization. If the Corporation shall effect a subdivision or consolidation of shares or other capital readjustment, the payment of a stock dividend, or other increase or reduction of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding, without receiving consideration therefore in money, services or property, then (i) the number, class, and per share price of shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding Options and other Awards hereunder and (ii) the number and class of shares then reserved for issuance under this Plan and the maximum number of shares for which Awards may be granted to a Participant during a specified time period shall be appropriately and proportionately adjusted. The conversion of convertible securities of the Corporation shall not be treated as effected “without receiving consideration.” The Committee shall make such adjustments, and its determinations shall be final, binding and conclusive.
Appendix E10


C. Merger, Consolidation or Asset Sale. If the Corporation is merged or consolidated with another entity or sells or otherwise disposes of substantially all of its assets to another entity while Options or Stock Awards remain outstanding under this Plan, unless provisions are made in connection with such transaction for the continuance of this Plan and/or the assumption or substitution of such Options or Stock Awards with new options or stock awards covering the stock of the successor entity, or parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices, then all outstanding Options and Stock Awards which have not been continued, assumed or for which a substituted award has not been granted shall, whether or not vested or then exercisable, unless otherwise specified in the Stock Option Agreement or Stock Award Agreement, terminate immediately as of the effective date of any such merger, consolidation or sale.

Except as previously expressly provided, neither the issuance by the Corporation of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, for cash or property, or for labor or services either upon direct sale or upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefore, or upon conversion of shares or obligations of the Corporation convertible into such shares or other securities, nor the increase or decrease of the number of authorized shares of stock, nor the addition or deletion of classes of stock, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number, class or price of shares of Common Stock then subject to outstanding Options or Stock Awards.

10.Withholding of Taxes

The Corporation or an Affiliate (including through its brokers or agents) shall have the right, before any certificate for any Common Stock is delivered, to deduct or withhold from any payment owed to a Participant any amount that is necessary in order to satisfy any withholding requirement that the Corporation or Affiliate in good faith believes is imposed upon it in connection with U.S. (or any other country’s) federal, state, or local taxes, including transfer taxes, as a result of the issuance of, or lapse of restrictions on, such Common Stock, or otherwise require such Participant to make provision for payment of any such withholding amount. Subject to such conditions as may be established by the Committee, the Committee may permit a Participant to (i) have Common Stock otherwise issuable under an Option or Stock Award withheld to the extent necessary to comply with minimum statutory withholding rate requirements, (ii) tender back to the Corporation shares of Common Stock received pursuant to an Option or Stock Award to the extent necessary to comply with minimum statutory withholding rate requirements for supplemental income, (iii) deliver to the Corporation previously acquired Common Stock, (iv) have funds withheld from payments of wages, salary, fee or other cash compensation due the Participant, (v) pay the Corporation or its Affiliate in cash, in order to satisfy part or all of the obligations for any taxes required to be withheld or otherwise deducted and paid by the Corporation or its Affiliate with respect to the Option or Stock Award; or (vi) establish a 10b5-1 trading plan for withheld stock designed to facilitate the sale of stock in connection with the vesting of such shares, the proceeds of which shall be utilized to make all applicable withholding payments in a manner to be coordinated by the Corporation’s Chief Financial Officer.

11.Compliance with Law and Approval of Regulatory Bodies

A. General Requirements. No Option or Stock Award shall be exercisable, no Common Stock shall be issued, no certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be delivered, and no payment shall be made under this Plan except in compliance with all applicable federal and state laws and regulations (including, without limitation, withholding tax requirements), any listing agreement to which the Corporation is a party, and the rules of all domestic stock exchanges or quotation systems on which the Corporation’s shares may be listed, including but not limited to the American Stock Exchange and the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange.  The Corporation shall have the right to rely on an opinion of its counsel as to such compliance. In the absence of an effective and current registration statement on an appropriate form under the Securities Act, or a specific exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, shares of Common Stock issued under this Plan shall be restricted shares. Any share certificate issued to evidence Common Stock when a Stock Award is granted or for which an Option is exercised may bear such restrictive legends and statements as the Committee may deem advisable to assure compliance with federal and state laws and regulations. No Option or Stock Award shall be exercisable, no Stock Award shall be granted, no Common Stock shall be issued, no certificate for shares shall be delivered, and no payment shall be made under this Plan until the Corporation has obtained such consent or approval as the Committee may deem advisable from regulatory bodies having jurisdiction over such matters.

Appendix E11

B. Participant Representations. The Committee may require that a Participant, as a condition to receipt or exercise of a particular award, execute and deliver to the Corporation a written statement, in form satisfactory to the Committee, in which the Participant represents and warrants that the shares are being acquired for such Participant’s own account, for investment only and not with a view to the resale or distribution thereof. The Participant shall, at the request of the Committee, be required to represent and warrant in writing that any subsequent resale or distribution of shares of Common Stock by the Participant shall be made only pursuant to either (i) a registration statement on an appropriate form under the Securities Act, which registration statement has become effective and is current with regard to the shares being sold, or (ii) a specific exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, but in claiming such exemption the Participant shall, prior to any offer of sale or sale of such shares, obtain a prior favorable written opinion of counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to counsel for the Corporation, as to the application of such exemption thereto.

12.General Provisions

A. Effect on Employment and Service. Neither the adoption of this Plan, its operation, nor any documents describing or referring to this Plan (or any part thereof) shall (i) confer upon any individual any right to continue in the employ or service of the Corporation or an Affiliate, (ii) in any way affect any right and power of the Corporation or an Affiliate to change an individual’s duties or terminate the employment or service of any individual at any time with or without assigning a reason therefore or (iii) except to the extent the Committee grants an Option or Stock Award to such individual, confer on any individual the right to participate in the benefits of this Plan.

B. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds received by the Corporation from the sale of Common Stock pursuant to this Plan shall be used for working capital and/or investment in equipment and/or acquisitions and/or business development.

C. Unfunded Plan. This Plan, insofar as it provides for grants, shall be unfunded, and the Corporation shall not be required to segregate any assets that may at any time be represented by grants under this Plan. Any liability of the Corporation to any Participant with respect to any grant under this Plan shall be based solely upon any contractual obligations that may be created pursuant to this Plan. No such obligation of the Corporation shall be deemed to be secured by any pledge of, or other encumbrance on, any property of the Corporation.

D. Rules of Construction. Headings are given to the Sections of this Plan solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. The reference to any statute, regulation, or other provision of law shall be construed to refer to any amendment to or successor of such provision of law.

E. Choice of Law.

F. Fractional Shares. The Corporation shall not be required to issue fractional shares pursuant to this Plan. The Committee may provide for elimination of fractional shares or the settlement of such fraction shares in cash.

G. Foreign Employees. In order to facilitate the making of any grant or combination of grants under this Plan, the Committee may provide for such special terms for Awards to Participants who are foreign nationals, or who are employed by the Corporation or any Affiliate outside of the United States, as the Committee may consider necessary or appropriate to accommodate differences in local law, tax policy or custom. Moreover, the Committee may approve such supplements to, or amendments, restatements or alternative versions of, this Plan as it may consider necessary or appropriate for such purposes without thereby affecting the terms of this Plan, as then in effect, unless this Plan could have been amended to eliminate such inconsistency without further approval by the stockholders of the Corporation.

Appendix F
CHARTER OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE
 
 OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF
 
XFONE, INC. 
 
I. PURPOSE
 
The Audit Committee will assist the Board of Directors by overseeing the integrity of the Company’s financial statements and reporting process, overseeing the Company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, overseeing the independent auditor’s qualifications and independence, and overseeing the performance of the Company’s internal audit function and independent auditors. The Board of Directors recognizes that the Audit Committee will rely on the advice and information it receives from the Company’s management and its internal and outside auditors. The Board of Directors does, however, expect the Audit Committee to exercise independent judgment in assessing the quality of the Company’s financial reporting process and its internal controls. In doing so, the Board of Directors expects that the Audit Committee will maintain free and open communications with the other directors, the Company’s independent and internal auditors and the financial management of the Company. The Audit Committee will prepare a report as required by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to be included in the Company’s annual proxy statement.
 
The Committee has the authority to conduct any investigation appropriate to fulfilling its investigations. It shall have direct access to the independent auditors as well as to anyone in the Corporation as deemed necessary by the Committee. The Committee has the authority to retain, at the Corporation’s expense, special legal, accounting or other experts, consultants and advisors, as it deems necessary in the performance of its duties.
 
The Committee shall have a clear understanding with the independent auditors that they must maintain an open and transparent relationship with the Committee, that the ultimate accountability of the independent auditors is to the Committee and that the independent auditors must report directly to the Committee. The Committee shall make regular reports to the Board concerning its activities.

The Corporation shall provide the Committee with appropriate funding, as determined by the Committee, (i) to compensate the independent auditors engaged for purposes of rendering an audit report or related work or performing other audit, review or attest services, (ii) to compensate any experts, consultants or advisors engaged by the Committee and (iii) for the ordinary administrative expenses of the Committee that are necessary or appropriate in carrying out its duties.
 
The Committee shall give prompt notice to the Corporation’s Chief Financial Officer of all expenditures by the Committee.
 
II.COMPOSITION
 
The Audit Committee shall be comprised of three directors, each of whom shall meet the independence requirements of the SEC and the American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”). No member of the Committee, other than in his or her capacity as a member of the Board or of a committee of the Board, shall (i) accept any consulting, advisory or other fee from the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation or (ii) be an affiliated person of the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation.
 
All members of the Committee shall meet the expertise requirements of the SEC and the AMEX, and at least one member of the Committee shall qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” under Section 401(e) of Regulation S-B.
 
Appendix F1

The members of the Committee shall be elected or reappointed by the Board annually for a one-year term. The Board shall appoint a Chairperson.
 
III. MEETINGS
 
The Committee will meet with management and the independent auditors at least four times annually and be available to meet more frequently as circumstances dictate. In addition to these regularly scheduled meetings, the Committee should meet, at its discretion, with management and the independent auditors in separate executive sessions to discuss any matters that the Committee and each of these groups believe should be discussed privately.
 
IV. COMPENSATION
 
The members of the Audit Committee shall be compensated for participation at Committee meetings as provided by the Board, and shall be reimbursed for expenses incurred in connection with their service on the Committee. No additional fees (other than for service as a director) may be paid to members of the Committee.
