EXPLANATORY NOTE

This amendment on Form 10-K/A (Amendment No. 1) amends the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Xfone, Inc. (the “Company”) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 1, 2009 (the “Original Report”), and is being filed to:

·  
update Item 3 (Legal Proceedings);

·  
revise Item 8 (Financial Statements and Supplementary Data) to make certain typographical and formatting corrections, and to enhance certain disclosures required by U.S. GAAP to support certain figures appearing in the financial statements; and

·  
update Exhibit 21.1, List of Subsidiaries.

The Company does not believe any of such changes are material.

In accordance with the rules of the SEC, the Company has set forth herein the complete texts of Items 3 (Legal Proceedings), 8 (Financial Statements and Supplementary Data) and 15 (Exhibits, Financial Statement Schedules) in their entirety.  The Company has also included an updated Consent of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm of the Company as Exhibit 23, and the Consent of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm of Xfone 018 as Exhibit 23.6. In addition, updated certifications pursuant to Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 have been included as Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 32.1 and 32.2 to this Amendment No. 1.

This Amendment No. 1 is limited to the items of the Original Report set forth above and does not amend, update, or change any other items or disclosures contained in the Original Report. Accordingly, all other items that remain unaffected are omitted in this filing. The amendments to the Original Report reflected in this Amendment No. 1 did not result in a change to, or restatement of, the financial statements or other financial information included in the Original Report. The filing of this Amendment No. 1 shall not be deemed an admission that the Original Report, when filed, included any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make a statement therein not misleading.

ITEM 3.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
I. FCC Enforcement Bureau
 
On March 6, 2006, the FCC’s Enforcement Bureau initiated an investigation into Telephone Electronic Company’s (“TEC”) compliance with FCC Rules for compensation of payphone service providers.  The Enforcement Bureau issued requests for production to TEC, its affiliates and subsidiaries.  TEC was a majority shareholder of NTS Communications, Inc. ("NTS") at the time of this investigation, prior to our acquisition of NTS on February 26, 2008.  On April 26, 2006, NTS filed its response to the request for production.  The FCC has the authority to issue fines for violations of its regulations.  NTS believes it is in compliance and will not incur any fine.  The investigation is pending.
 
II. Omer Fleisig vs. Israel 10 - Shidury Haruts Hahadash Ltd. and Xfone 018 Ltd.

On December 16, 2008, Omer Fleisig filed a request to approve a claim as a class action (the "Class Action Request") against Xfone 018 Ltd. ("Xfone 018"), a 69% owned Israel based subsidiary of the Company, and Israel 10 - Shidury Haruts Hahadash Ltd., an entity unrelated to the Company ("Israel 10"), in the District Court in Petach Tikva, Israel.  Fleisig attempted to participate in a television call-in game show, which was produced by Israel 10, using Xfone 018’s international telecom services. The claim alleges that although Fleisig's two attempts to participate in the show were unsuccessful because he received a busy signal when trying to call in, he was billed by Xfone 018 for both attempts. Fleisig seeks damages for the billed attempts. He was billed approximately $2.50 for the calls. The Class Action Request states total damages of NIS 24,750,000 (approximately $ 5,815,320) which reflects Fleisig's estimation of damages caused to all participants in the game show which (pursuant to the Class Action Request)  allegedly received a busy signal while trying to call in to the game during a certain  period defined in the Class Action Request. All parties are currently attempting to reach an understanding regarding the scope of the Class Action Request and its justification, if at all. This matter is pending.

III. Teresa Leffler vs. Marshall Wingard and Xfone USA

On February 24, 2009, Teresa Leffler, a former employee of Xfone USA, Inc., filed a complaint with the Circuit court of Rankin County, Mississippi, alleging sexual discrimination and sexual harassment by a former employee of Xfone USA, Marshall Wingard, and Xfone USA, that allegedly resulted in injury to her job and reputation, lost wages, mental and physical pain and suffering. Ms. Leffler seeks compensatory damages in the amount of $300,000.00 and punitive damages in the amount of $300,000.00. Xfone USA has entered into an agreement to pay for Mr. Wingard’s defense. The filing of the complaint follows Ms. Leffler’s receipt of a Notice of Right to Sue (the “Notice”) issued by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (the “EEOC”) on November 21, 2008.  The Notice also stated that the EEOC was terminating its processing of the charge.  The Company intends to vigorously contest and defend the allegations against it in this matter.

IV. NTS Communications, Inc. vs. Global Crossing Telecommunications, Inc.

On March 27, 2009, NTS Communications, Inc. (“NTS”) filed suit against Global Crossing Telecommunications, Inc. (“Global Crossing”) in the 160th District Court of Dallas County, Texas seeking $441,148.51 for unpaid telecommunications services, which NTS had provided in November and December 2008. The suit stems from a certain Telecommunications Agreement entered into between NTS and Global Crossing, which had an effective date of November 2, 2006.  On April 15, 2009, Global Crossing removed the case to Federal Court, and on April 17, 2009, Global Crossing filed an Original Answer denying NTS’ claim.  Global Crossing also filed a Counterclaim alleging that NTS failed to perform its obligations under the Telecommunications Agreement and federal law between 2006 and 2008, and seeks damages in the amount of $8,000,000. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself in this action.  Additionally, the Company intends to claim indemnity from NTS’ former shareholders with respect to the damages sought by Global Crossing in the Counterclaim, pursuant to the protections available to Xfone for suffering adverse consequences under the terms of the  Stock Purchase Agreement and Escrow Agreement entered into in connection with Xfone’s purchase of NTS.  This matter is pending.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors
Xfone, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Xfone, Inc. as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We did not audit the financial statements of Xfone 018, Ltd., a 69% owned subsidiary, which statements reflect 4.7% of total consolidated assets as of December 31, 2008 and 10.2% of consolidated revenues for the year ended December 31, 2008. Those financial statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Xfone 018, Ltd. as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and for the years then ended is based solely on the report of the other auditor.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, and based on that of the other auditor, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Xfone, Inc. as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the consolidated results of its operations and cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

C.
On February 26, 2008 (the “Closing Date”), the Company completed its acquisition of NTS Communications, Inc. ("NTS") pursuant to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) entered into on August 22, 2007 with NTS, and the equity owners of NTS as sellers (the “NTS Shareholders”), as amended on February 14, 2008 and February 26, 2008. 
 
Upon closing of the acquisition, NTS and its six wholly owned subsidiaries, NTS Construction Company, Garey M. Wallace Company, Inc., Midcom of Arizona, Inc., Communications Brokers, Inc., NTS Telephone Company, LLC, and NTS Management Company, LLC became the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries.
 
The purchase price for the acquisition was approximately $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 Purchase 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 was subject to the Company’s advance written approval.  After applying this formula, the final aggregate purchase price was calculated as $41,900,000, and was paid by the Company as follows: $35,414,715 was paid in cash; and 2,366,892 shares of the Company’s common stock, were issued to certain NTS Shareholders who elected to reinvest all or a portion of their allocable sale price in the Company’s Common Stock, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement. The Company’s Board of Directors determined, in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock to be delivered to each participating NTS Shareholder by dividing the portion of such NTS Shareholder’s allocable sale price that the NTS Shareholder 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 NYSE Amex LLC (formerly, the American Stock Exchange and the NYSE Altermext US, LLC) for the ten consecutive trading days preceding the trading day immediately prior to the Closing Date (i.e., $2.74). The aggregate sales price reinvested by all such NTS Shareholders was $6,485,284.
 
On April 25, 2008, the Company entered into a Third Amendment to the purchase agreement, pursuant to which the Company agreed to an extension of time for the calculation and payment of the post closing working capital adjustment under the Purchase Agreement.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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.
Foreign Currency Translation

The Company's functional and reporting currency is the U.S. dollar for the reason that a majority of the Company's transactions   and balances are denominated in U.S. dollars.

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$, the Company's financial records are maintained in US$, and the Company's financial statements are prepared in US$. The functional currency of Swiftnet, Equitalk, Story Telecom and Auracall 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 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$ in accordance with SFAS No. 52. When translating functional currency financial statements into US$, period-end exchange rates are applied to the consolidated balance sheets, 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.
Restricted cash

At December 31, 2007 restricted cash include proceeds from the issuance of securities to Israeli institutional investors, for total gross proceeds of NIS 100,382,100 (approximately $25,562,032) par value bonds (Series A). The proceeds were invested in weekly interest-bearing deposits and were transferred to the Company's control upon the fulfillment of the following conditions: (i) that the Company raised an aggregate of at least $20.0 million in equity financings; and (ii) that the conditions for the consummation of the acquisition of NTS Communications, Inc . had been met. These conditions were satisfied during February 2008.

D.
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, an 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, 2008 and 2007 the accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $1,251,946 and $1,090,572 respectively. Bad debt expenses for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 are $1,058,803 and $641,477 respectively.


 
E.
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
 
Communication equipment
 
3-15 years
 
Fiber Network
 
30 years
 
Construction Equipment
 
5 years
 
Equipment held under lease

5-15 years
 
Development costs
 
3 years
 
Computer equipment
 
5-7 years
 
Motor vehicles
 
4-5 years
 
Building and plant
 
4-30 years
 

Depreciation expenses amounted to $3,319,725 and $1,044,722 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
 
 
F.
Other Intangible Assets

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

Customer relations and trade name related to mergers and acquisitions are amortized over a period between 2-13 years from the date of the purchase.

Amortization expenses amounted to $660,190 and $167,076 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
The amortizations for the next  five years and thereafter  are as follows:

G.
Long-Lived Assets

The Company periodically evaluates 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. At December 31, 2008, the Company believes its long- lived assets are recoverable.
 
 
H.
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 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.

 
I.
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.

 
J.
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.

 
K.
Income Taxes

The Company and its subsidiaries account for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ('SFAS 109'). This statement prescribes the use of the liability method, whereby deferred tax asset and liability account balances are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax base of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company and its subsidiaries provide a valuation allowance, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to their estimated realizable value.

Stock-Based Compensation

Effective the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal year 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”) using the modified prospective transition method. The Company previously applied APB 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related interpretations and provided the required pro forma disclosures required under SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”). The Company elected to adopt the modified prospective application method as provided by SFAS 123(R), and, accordingly, the Company recorded compensation costs as the requisite service rendered for the unvested portion of previously issued awards that remain outstanding at the initial date of adoption and any awards issued, modified, repurchased or cancelled after the effective date of SFAS 123(R). 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 Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted under SFAS No. 123(R) using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model that uses the assumption noted in the following table. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility that is representative of future volatility over the expected term of the options. The expected term of options granted represent the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding and was determined based on the simplified method. The risk free interest rate is based on the yield of U.S. treasury bonds with equivalent terms. The dividend yield is based on the Company's historical and future expectation of dividends payouts. Historically, the Company has not paid cash dividends and has no foreseeable plans to pay cash dividends in the future.
 
The Company recognizes compensation expense based on awards ultimately expected to vest, net of estimated forfeitures at the time of grant. Estimated forfeitures are based on historical pre-vesting forfeitures. SFAS 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Purchased Intangible Assets

SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS No. 142”), establishes a method of testing goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis or on an interim basis if an event occurs or circumstances change that would reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. The Company’s assessments involve determining an estimate of the fair value of the Company’s reporting units in order to evaluate whether an impairment of the current carrying amount of goodwill and other indefinite-lived assets exists. The first step of the goodwill impairment test, used to identify potential impairment, compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not considered impaired, and thus the second step of the impairment test is unnecessary. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. Fair values are derived based on an evaluation of past and expected future performance of the Company’s reporting units. A reporting unit is an operating segment or one level below an operating segment. A component of an operating segment is a reporting unit if the component constitutes a business for which discrete financial information is available and the Company’s executive management team regularly reviews the operating results of that component. In addition, the Company combines and aggregates two or more components of an operating segment as a single reporting unit if the components have similar economic characteristics. The Company’s reportable segments under the guidance of SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” are its reporting units.
 
The second step of the goodwill impairment test, used to measure the amount of impairment loss, compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The loss recognized cannot exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination is determined. The Company allocates the fair value of a reporting unit to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit (including any unrecognized intangible assets) as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and the fair value of the reporting unit was the price paid to acquire the reporting unit. The excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the amounts assigned to its assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill.
 
The Company utilizes the discounted cash flow approach when determining the fair value of each reporting unit as part of its annual assessments. As stated above, goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis and more often if indications of impairment exist. The results of the Company’s analysis indicated that no reduction in the carrying amount of goodwill was required at December 31, 2008 or 2007.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
1.  
In May 2008, the FASB issued FAS 163 (“FAS 163”), “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60”.  This Statement interprets Statement 60 and amends existing accounting pronouncements to clarify their application to the financial guarantee insurance contracts included within the scope of this Statement.  FAS 163 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
2.  
In May 2008, the FASB issued FAS 162 (“FAS 162”), “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” This statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with GAAP. Although this statement formalizes the sources and hierarchy of GAAP within the authoritative accounting literature, it does not change the accounting principles that are already in place. This statement will be effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” FAS 162 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
3.  
In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (“FSP FAS 142-3”). FSP FAS No. 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“FAS 142”). The intent of FSP FAS 142-3 is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under FAS 141(R) and other applicable accounting literature. FSP FAS 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and must be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date. The Company has not determined the impact, if any, of the adoption of FSP FAS 142-3.
4.  
Effective January 1, 2008, we adopted the provisions of FAS 157, Fair Value Measurements, except as it applies to those nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities as noted in proposed FSP FAS 157-b.  The partial adoption of FAS 157 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.  FAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement does not require any new fair value measurements, but provides guidance on how to measure fair value by providing a fair value hierarchy used to classify the source of the information. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) 157-2,  Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157,  which delays the effective date of FAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually).

In March 2008, the FASB issued FAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133,  which requires additional disclosures about the objectives of the derivative instruments and hedging activities, the method of accounting for such instruments under FAS 133 and its related interpretations, and a tabular disclosure of the effects of such instruments and related hedged items on our financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. FAS 161 is effective for us beginning January 1, 2009. We are currently assessing the potential impact that adoption of FAS 161 may have on our financial statements.
6.  
Effective January 1, 2008, we adopted the provisions of FAS 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.  The adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.  FAS 159 gives us the irrevocable option to carry many financial assets and liabilities at fair values, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings.
7.  
In December 2007, the FASB issued FAS 141R, Business Combinations, which replaces FAS 141. The statement retains the purchase method of accounting for acquisitions, but requires a number of changes, including changes in the way assets and liabilities are recognized in the purchase accounting. It also changes the recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from contingencies, requires the capitalization of in-process research and development at fair value, and requires the expensing of acquisition-related costs as incurred. FAS 141R is effective for us beginning January 1, 2009 and will apply prospectively to business combinations completed on or after that date.
8.  
In December 2007, the FASB issued FAS 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51, which changes the accounting and reporting for minority interests. Minority interests will be re-characterized as non-controlling interests and will be reported as a component of equity separate from the parent’s equity, and purchases or sales of equity interests that do not result in a change in control will be accounted for as equity transactions. In addition, net income attributable to the non-controlling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement and, upon a loss of control, the interest sold, as well as any interest retained, will be recorded at fair value with any gain or loss recognized in earnings. FAS 160 is effective for us beginning January 1, 2009 and will apply prospectively, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which will apply retrospectively. We are currently assessing the potential impact that adoption of FAS 160 may have on our financial statements.

1.  
On September 27, 2005, a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Securities Purchase Agreement") was entered into for a $2,000,000 financial transaction by and among the Company, 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 the Company's United States assets, had a 3 year term and bore interest at a rate equal to prime plus 1.5% per annum. The Term Note was convertible, under certain conditions, into shares of the Company's common stock at an initial conversion price equal to $3.48 per share. In conjunction with this financial transaction, the Company issued to Laurus Master Fund 157,500 warrants which are exercisable at $3.80 per share for a period of five years. The closing of the financial transaction was on September 28, 2005. The Securities Purchase Agreement provides that for so long as twenty five percent (25%) of the principal amount of the Term Note was outstanding, the Company, without the prior written consent of Laurus Master Fund, could not, and could not permit any of the Subsidiaries (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) to directly or indirectly declare or pay any dividends, other than dividends paid to the Company or any of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries. The Term Note was fully paid off in cash on September 26, 2008.

Issuance of Bonds

On December 13, 2007, the Company issued a total of NIS 100,382,100 ($25,562,032) Series A Bonds (the “Bonds”) to Israeli institutional investors. The principal of the Bonds is repaid in 8 equal annual payments on the 1st of December of every year from 2008 until 2015 (inclusive). On November 11, 2008 (the “Date of Listing”), the Bonds commenced trading on the TASE. From the Date of Issuance until the Date of Listing, the Bonds accrued annual interest at a rate of 9%. As of the Date of Listing, the interest rate for the unpaid balance of the Bonds was reduced by 1% to an annual interest rate of 8%. The interest on the Bonds is paid semi-annually on the 1st of June and on the 1st of December of every year from 2008 until 2015 (inclusive).  The principal and interest of the Bonds is linked to the Israeli Consumer Price Index.

Additionally, the Company issued the holders of the Bonds, for no additional consideration, 956,020 (non-tradable) Warrants, each exercisable at an exercise price of $3.50 with a term of 4 years, beginning on September 2, 2008.

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 by $104,948.46, which represents adjustments made to the 90-Day column, Trade Accounts, and certain accounts that had previously been listed as having 90-Day balances but were subsequently confirmed as not having 90-Day balances, and by the final amount billed to EBI Comm, Inc. (“EBI”) in 2005 prior to the assets of EBI being purchased by Xfone USA, 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 claims by the shareholders of I-55 Internet Services.  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.  On or about May 12, 2008, after further negotiations, Xfone USA and I-55 agreed to value Claim #1 at $143,017.11 and Claim #2 at $140,750.00 for a total agreed loss of $283,767.11.  This resulted in the Company’s receipt of 62,850 shares of Xfone Common Stock and 44,470 Xfone Stock Warrants from the Escrow Account in satisfaction of these claims (the “Returned Xfone Stock and Warrant Consideration”) and the balance of the Xfone Common Stock and Xfone Stock Warrants remaining in the Escrow Account was distributed to the selling I-55 Internet shareholders and the escrow account was closed out on June 16, 2008. The components of the Returned Xfone Stock and Warrant Consideration were cancelled by the Company on June 3, 2008.

("NTS") at the time of this investigation, prior to our acquisition of NTS on February 26, 2008.  On April 26, 2006, NTS filed its response to the request for production.  The FCC has the authority to issue fines for violations of its regulations.  NTS believes it is in compliance and will not incur any fine.  The investigation is pending.
 
II. Omer Fleisig vs. Israel 10 - Shidury Haruts Hahadash Ltd. and Xfone 018 Ltd.

On December 16, 2008, Omer Fleisig filed a request to approve a claim as a class action (the "Class Action Request") against Xfone 018 Ltd. ("Xfone 018"), a 69% owned Israel based subsidiary of the Company, and Israel 10 - Shidury Haruts Hahadash Ltd., an entity unrelated to the Company ("Israel 10"), in the District Court in Petach Tikva, Israel.  Fleisig attempted to participate in a television call-in game show, which was produced by Israel 10, using Xfone 018’s international telecom services. The claim alleges that although Fleisig's two attempts to participate in the show were unsuccessful because he received a busy signal when trying to call in, he was billed by Xfone 018 for both attempts. Fleisig seeks damages for the billed attempts. He was billed approximately $2.50 for the calls. The Class Action Request states total damages of NIS 24,750,000 (approximately $5,815,320) which reflects Fleisig's estimation of damages caused to all participants in the game show which (pursuant to the Class Action Request)  allegedly received a busy signal while trying to call in to the game during a certain  period defined in the Class Action Request. All parties are currently attempting to reach an understanding regarding the scope of the Class Action Request and its justification, if at all. This matter is pending.

III. Teresa Leffler vs. Marshall Wingard and Xfone USA

On February 24, 2009, Teresa Leffler, a former employee of Xfone USA, Inc., filed a complaint with the Circuit court of Rankin County, Mississippi, alleging sexual discrimination and sexual harassment by a former employee of Xfone USA, Marshall Wingard, and Xfone USA, that allegedly resulted in injury to her job and reputation, lost wages, mental and physical pain and suffering. Ms. Leffler seeks compensatory damages in the amount of $300,000.00 and punitive damages in the amount of $300,000.00. Xfone USA has entered into an agreement to pay for Mr. Wingard’s defense. The filing of the complaint follows Ms. Leffler’s receipt of a Notice of Right to Sue (the “Notice”) issued by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (the “EEOC”) on November 21, 2008.  The Notice also stated that the EEOC was terminating its processing of the charge.  The Company intends to vigorously contest and defend the allegations against it in this matter.
 
Note 19 – Subsequent Events
 
On March 27, 2009, NTS Communications, Inc. (“NTS”) filed suit against Global Crossing Telecommunications, Inc. (“Global Crossing”) in the 160th District Court of Dallas County, Texas seeking $441,148.51 for unpaid telecommunications services, which NTS had provided in November and December 2008. The suit stems from a certain Telecommunications Agreement entered into between NTS and Global Crossing, which had an effective date of November 2, 2006.  On April 15, 2009, Global Crossing removed the case to Federal Court, and on April 17, 2009, Global Crossing filed an Original Answer denying NTS’ claim.  Global Crossing also filed a Counterclaim alleging that NTS failed to perform its obligations under the Telecommunications Agreement and federal law between 2006 and 2008, and seeks damages in the amount of $8,000,000. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself in this action.  Additionally, the Company intends to claim indemnity from NTS’ former shareholders with respect to the damages sought by Global Crossing in the Counterclaim, pursuant to the protections available to Xfone for suffering adverse consequences under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement and Escrow Agreement entered into in connection with Xfone’s purchase of NTS. This matter is pending.
