The Company will bear the cost of soliciting proxies, including postage, printing and handling, and will reimburse the reasonable expenses of brokerage firms and others for forwarding material to beneficial owners of ordinary shares. Shareholders may vote shares directly held in their name in person at the Meeting. If a shareholder wants to vote in person at the Meeting shares held in street name, the shareholder must request a legal proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee that holds the shares, and must present such legal proxy at the Meeting. On June 30, 2006 the Company had outstanding 5,623,671 ordinary shares, each of which is entitled to one vote upon each of the matters to be presented at the Meeting. Two or more shareholders, present in person or by proxy and holding shares conferring in the aggregate more than thirty three and a third percent (33.33%) of the voting power of the Company, will constitute a quorum at the Meeting. If a quorum is not present within thirty minutes from the time appointed for the Meeting, the Meeting will be adjourned to the same day in the following week, at the same time and place, or to such day and at such time and place as the Chairman of the Meeting may determine.

The Board is classified into three classes of directors (excluding the external directors), and the members of each class serve for a term of three years (and may thereafter be appointed for additional terms). In addition, external directors appointed pursuant to the Israeli Companies Law, 1999 (the "COMPANIES LAW") serve for a term of three years (and may be appointed for an additional three-year term). Dr. Elon Ganor, who is currently the only member of the class of directors whose term ends at the Meeting, has informed the Company that he does not intend to continue to serve as a director of the Company. In addition, the term of Yoav Chelouche as an external director ended in May 2006 (and he may not be appointed for another term). Under the Companies Law, each publicly-held company must have at least two external directors who meet the requirements and qualifications prescribed by the Companies Law. The Board recommends that at the Meeting Mr. Lior Bergman be appointed as a director and Mr. Dauber be appointed as an external director, as required under the Companies Law. Following is certain information about the nominees: LIOR BREGMAN served from 1988 to 2001 as a Managing Director with CIBC/Oppenheimer. Mr. Bregman was involved in the development of CIBC/Oppenheimer's high technology effort, with responsibility for its telecommunication equipment research effort in general, and the wireless communication area in particular, as well as its research on defense and Israeli companies. Until 2001, Mr. Bregman was also a partner in Genesis I, an Israeli-based venture capital fund, and also served on the investment committee of Genesis II. Prior to joining CIBC/Oppenheimer, Mr. Bregman served as a research analyst at Hambrecht & Quist. Mr. Bregman is currently a director of ViryaNet Ltd. Mr. Bregman holds a BA from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and an MBA from Stanford University. YOSEPH DAUBER has served as a director of NICE Systems Ltd. since April 2002. Mr. Dauber has served in various senior positions at Bank Hapoalim since 1973. Until June 2002, he was Deputy Chairman of the Board of Management and joint Managing Director of Bank Hapoalim and was responsible for the commercial division of the bank. Between 1994 and 1996 and until June 2002, Mr. Dauber served as Chairman of Poalim American Express and of the Isracard Group. From 2002 to 2003, he served as Chairman of the Israel Maritime Bank Ltd. He currently serves as a director of Bank Hapoalim. He also serves as a director of Clal Insurance Holding Ltd., Vita Pri Galil Ltd., Lodzia Rotex Ltd., Afcon Industries Ltd. and Orbit Alchut Technologies Ltd. Mr. Dauber holds a Bachelor's degree in Economics and Statistics from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem and a Masters degree in Law from Bar Ilan University. It is proposed that the following resolution be adopted at the Meeting: "RESOLVED, TO APPROVE THE APPOINTMENT OF MR. LIOR BREGMAN AS A DIRECTOR AND THE APPOINTMENT OF MR. YOSEPH DAUBER AS AN EXTERNAL DIRECTOR, UNTIL THEIR SUCCESSORS ARE DULY ELECTED AND QUALIFIED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ISRAELI COMPANIES LAW AND THE AMENDED AND RESTATED ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION OF THE COMPANY." The affirmative vote of the holders of a simple majority of the voting power represented at the Meeting in person or by proxy is necessary for the approval of the resolution to appoint Mr. Lior Bregman as a director. The affirmative vote of the holders of a simple majority of the voting power represented at the Meeting in person or by proxy is necessary for the approval of the resolution to appoint Mr. Yoseph Dauber as an external director; provided that, in addition to the simple majority of the shares present and voted at the Meeting in person or by proxy, either (i) at least 1/3 of the shares present and voted at the meeting and held by shareholders that are not control persons or representatives of control persons of the Company be voted for such appointment (abstentions will be disregarded) or (b) the shares present and voted at the Meeting against such appointment represent less than 1% of the total voting power in the company. A "control person" is any person that has the ability to direct the Company's actions (other than by means of being a director or office holder of the Company), including any shareholder holding 25% or more of the voting rights if no other shareholder owns more than 50% of the voting rights in the Company. 10 Should either Mr. Bergman or Mr. Dauber become unavailable for election to the Board at the Meeting, the persons appointed as proxies will have discretionary authority to vote the proxy for a substitute (provided that any substitute for Mr. Dauber meets the requirements and qualifications under the Companies Law relating to the appointment of an external director). The Board knows of no current circumstances that would render either Mr. Bergman or Mr. Dauber unable to accept nomination or appointment. Each of Messrs. Bregman and Dauber has agreed to serve on the Board, and the Board has determined that Mr. Dauber meets all of the requirements and qualifications applicable to external directors under the Companies Law. THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE FOREGOING PROPOSED RESOLUTION. ITEM 2 - APPROVAL OF THE GRANT OF OPTIONS TO EACH OF LIOR BREGMAN AND YOSEPH DAUBER Subject to the appointment of Messrs. Lior Bregman and Yoseph Dauber by the Company's shareholders as directors (as set forth in Item 1 above), the Company's shareholders will be requested at the Meeting to approve the grant to each of Messrs. Bregman and Dauber of options to purchase 15,385 ordinary shares of the Company. All of the foregoing options will (i) be granted following approval by the Company's shareholders, (ii), except as set forth in clause (iv) below, become exercisable with respect to 1/16th of the underlying ordinary shares at the end of each three-month period following the date of grant thereof during which the person receiving such grant shall have served as a director of the Company, (iii) have an exercise price per share equal to the higher of (A) $5.93 and (B) the average closing price of the Company's shares over the 30-day period prior to the date of approval of the options by the Company's shareholders, (iv) be subject to full acceleration in the event that such person is required to cease from being a director of the Company in connection with a change of control of the Company and (v) be exercisable for a period of twelve months following such time as the person receiving such grant ceases from being a director of the Company; and will otherwise be subject to the terms of the Company's 2003 Master Stock Option Plan. It is proposed that the following resolution be adopted at the Meeting: "RESOLVED, THAT UPON AND SUBJECT TO THE APPOINTMENT OF MESSRS. LIOR BREGMAN AND YOSEPH DAUBER BY THE COMPANY'S SHAREHOLDERS AS MEMBERS OF THE COMPANY'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS, THE GRANT TO EACH OF THEM OF OPTIONS TO PURCHASE 15,385 ORDINARY SHARES OF THE COMPANY, ON TERMS THAT WERE PRESENTED TO THE SHAREHOLDERS, IS HEREBY APPROVED AND AUTHORIZED." The affirmative vote of the holders of a simple majority of the voting power represented at the Meeting in person or by proxy is necessary for the approval of the foregoing resolution. THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE FOREGOING PROPOSED RESOLUTION. ITEM 3 - RE-CLASSIFICATION OF THE BOARD The Board is classified into three classes of directors (excluding the external directors), and the members of each class serve for a term of three years (and may thereafter be appointed for additional terms). Dr. Elon Ganor's term will end at the Meeting; the term of Messrs. Ilan Rosen and Joseph Atsmon is currently scheduled to end at the annual shareholders meeting to be held in 2007; and the term of Messrs. Joseph Albagli and Robert Wadsworth is currently scheduled to end at the annual shareholders meeting to be held in 2008. The Board recommends that the Board be re-classified as follows: (i) Mr. Lior Bregman (if appointed by the Company's shareholders at the Meeting) will serve on the Board until the annual shareholders meeting in 2007 (at which time he may be nominated for an additional term); 11 (ii) Messrs. Ilan Rosen and Joseph Atsmon will serve on the Board until the annual shareholders meeting in 2008 (at which time they may be nominated for an additional term); and (iii) Messrs. Joseph Albagli and Robert Wadsworth will serve on the Board until the annual shareholders meeting in 2009 (at which time they may be nominated for an additional term). It is proposed that the following resolution be adopted at the Meeting (subject to the appointment of Mr. Lior Bregman as a director in accordance with proposed Item 1): "RESOLVED, THAT THE COMPANY'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS BE RE-CLASSIFIED INTO THREE CLASSES AS FOLLOWS: (I) MR. LIOR BREGMAN WILL SERVE ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNTIL THE ANNUAL SHAREHOLDERS MEETING IN 2007 (AT WHICH TIME HE MAY BE NOMINATED FOR AN ADDITIONAL TERM); (II) MESSRS. ILAN ROSEN AND JOSEPH ATSMON WILL SERVE ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNTIL THE ANNUAL SHAREHOLDERS MEETING IN 2008 (AT WHICH TIME THEY MAY BE NOMINATED FOR AN ADDITIONAL TERM); AND (III) MESSRS. JOSEPH ALBAGLI AND ROBERT WADSWORTH WILL SERVE ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNTIL THE ANNUAL SHAREHOLDERS MEETING IN 2009 (AT WHICH TIME THEY MAY BE NOMINATED FOR AN ADDITIONAL TERM)." The affirmative vote of the holders of a simple majority of the voting power represented at the Meeting in person or by proxy is necessary for the approval of the foregoing resolution. THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE FOREGOING PROPOSED RESOLUTION. ITEM 4 - APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE EXERCISE PRICE OF OPTIONS PREVIOUSLY GRANTED TO DIRECTORS At the Meeting, the Company's shareholders will be requested to approve an amendment to the exercise price of options previously granted to each of Ilan Rosen, Dr. Elon Ganor, Robert Wadsworth, Joseph Atsmon and Michal Even Chen, all members of the Board, as well as Yoav Chelouche, until recently an external director of the Company. On November 24, 2005, the Company's shareholders approved the share sale and purchase agreement dated as of October 27, 2005 (the "BUSINESS COMBINATION") by and among the Company, Tdsoft Ltd. ("TDSOFT") and the shareholders of Tdsoft. In connection with the approval of the Business Combination, the Company's shareholders approved, among other matters, the grant by the Company to the foregoing directors of the following options to purchase ordinary shares of the Company (the following amounts reflect the 1-for-13 reverse stock split effected by the Company on November 25, 2005): o to each of Ilan Rosen, Dr. Elon Ganor, Robert Wadsworth and Joseph Atsmon, options to purchase 15,385 ordinary shares; o to Michal Even-Chen, options to purchase 12,308 ordinary shares; and o to Yoav Chelouche (until recently an external director of the Company), options to purchase 10,769 ordinary shares. 12 At their meeting on November 24, 2005, the shareholders of the Company approved the terms of the foregoing options, including that the exercise price thereof would be calculated in accordance with the terms of the Company's 2003 Amended Master Stock Option Plan. The Company's 2003 Amended Master Stock Option Plan provides that the exercise price of options granted under such plan (for as long as the Company's shares are listed on a national securities exchange) shall be the closing sale price of the shares on such national securities exchange on the last date prior to the date of grant of the options. The approved terms of the foregoing options also provided that the options would be granted to the foregoing directors on the 30th day following November 24, 2005, the date on which the Business Combination was consummated. At their meeting on November 24, 2005, the Company's shareholders approved a grant of options to Mr. Joseph Albagli, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Board, the exercise price of which options would be the average trading price of the Company's shares over the 30-day period following the date of consummation of the Business Combination. Following approval by the Company's shareholders of the foregoing option grants, the Company realized that the mechanism for determining the exercise price of the options granted to the directors (other than Mr. Albagli), which was approved by the Board, audit committee and shareholders, did not reflect correctly the intent of the Company, which was that the options granted to all of the Company's directors in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination would have the same exercise price and that such exercise price would be the average trading price of the Company's shares over the 30-day period following the date of consummation of the Business Combination (and not the closing sale price of the shares on the 30th day following November 24, 2005). . This mistake has resulted in a discrepancy between the exercise price of the options granted to Mr. Albagli, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Board, and the exercise price of the options granted to the other directors of the Company. It is therefore proposed that at the Meeting the Company's shareholders adopt the following resolution: "RESOLVED, THAT, IN ORDER TO CORRECT A MISTAKE IN THE MECHANISM PREVIOUSLY APPROVED BY THE COMPANY'S SHAREHOLDERS, BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS WITH RESPECT TO THE EXERCISE PRICE OF CERTAIN OPTIONS GRANTED TO EACH OF ILAN ROSEN, ROBERT WADSWORTH, JOSEPH ATSMON AND MICHAL EVEN CHEN, MEMBERS OF THE COMPANY'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS, AND DR. ELON GANOR AND YOAV CHELOUCHE, UNTIL RECENTLY DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY, AS APPROVED BY THE COMPANY'S SHAREHOLDERS ON NOVEMBER 24, 2005, THE SHAREHOLDERS HEREBY RESOLVE TO AMEND THE EXERCISE PRICE OF SUCH OPTIONS TO THE AVERAGE TRADING PRICE OF THE COMPANY'S SHARES OVER THE 30-DAY PERIOD FOLLOWING THE DATE OF SUCH APPROVAL." The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power represented at the Meeting in person or by proxy is necessary for the approval of the foregoing resolution. The audit committee of the Board and the Board have each approved the foregoing proposed resolution. THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE FOREGOING PROPOSED RESOLUTION. ITEM 5 - APPROVAL OF THE ADOPTION OF AN AMENDED AND RESTATED MEMORANDUM OF ASSOCIATION The Company's memorandum of association was adopted on March 9, 1989, and provides that the purposes of the Company are to (i) market, import, purchase computers and software for computers and other related items, (ii) export, market and sell software for computers and related items and (iii) plan and manufacture software for computers. In light of the fact that the Company has engaged during recent years in various fields within the telecommunications industry and in light of the constant changes in such industry, it is proposed that the Company's memorandum of association be amended and restated to provide the Company with more flexibility in engaging in other related business activities. A draft of the proposed amended and restated memorandum of association is attached to this Proxy Statement as ANNEX A. It is proposed that the following resolution be adopted at the Meeting: 13 "RESOLVED, THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS APPROVE AND ADOPT THE COMPANY'S AMENDED AND RESTATED MEMORANDUM OF ASSOCIATION, A COPY OF WHICH HAS BEEN PROVIDED TO THE SHAREHOLDERS PRIOR TO THE MEETING." The affirmative vote of the holders of not less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the voting power represented at the Meeting in person or by proxy is necessary for the approval of the foregoing resolution. THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE FOREGOING PROPOSED RESOLUTION. ITEM 6 - ANNUAL INCREASE OF THE NUMBER OF ORDINARY SHARES UNDERLYING THE COMPANY'S 2003 AMENDED MASTER STOCK OPTION PLAN The Company's shareholders will be requested at the Meeting to approve an annual increase in the number of ordinary shares underlying the Company's 2003 Amended Master Stock Option Plan by 180,000 ordinary shares per year, subject to stock splits, recapitalizations and other similar events (which increase will become effective immediately following the annual general meeting of shareholders held in each year, commencing with the Meeting), to enable future grants of options under the Company's 2003 Amended Master Stock Option Plan. The foregoing amount represents approximately 2.5% of the Company's current issued and outstanding share capital, on a fully diluted basis, which the Company believes is customary among companies of similar size, scope and complexity to the Company, which are engaged in businesses similar to that of the Company. The Company also believes that such annual increases will enable the Company's Board of Directors to implement long-term planning of option grants on a regular basis. It is proposed that the following resolution be adopted at the Meeting: "RESOLVED, THAT THE NUMBER OF ORDINARY SHARES OF THE COMPANY UNDERLYING THE COMPANY'S 2003 AMENDED MASTER STOCK OPTION PLAN BE INCREASED ANNUALLY BY 180,000 ORDINARY SHARES, SUBJECT TO STOCK SPLITS, RECAPITALIZATIONS AND OTHER SIMILAR EVENTS (WHICH INCREASE WILL BECOME EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS HELD IN EACH YEAR, COMMENCING WITH THIS MEETING)."

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE FOREGOING PROPOSED RESOLUTION. ITEM 7 - APPROVAL OF THE EXTENSION OF THE PERIOD DURING WHICH THE COMPANY'S CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND A MEMBER OF THE BOARD MAY EXERCISE OPTIONS On November 24, 2005, the Company's shareholders approved the terms of an employment agreement between the Company and Mr. Joseph Albagli, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Board, which provides, among other things, for the grant to Mr. Albagli of options to purchase 136,796 ordinary shares of the Company (which number reflects the 1-for-13 reverse split of the Company's ordinary shares, effected on November 25, 2005). The foregoing options were granted under the Company's 2003 Amended Master Stock Option Plan, which provides that an option holder whose employment with the Company is terminated, may exercise the vested portion of any options held by such employee during a period of three (3) months after termination of employment. The Company's shareholders will be requested at the Meeting to approve an extension of the period during which Mr. Albagli may exercise the foregoing options from three (3) months after termination of his employment to twelve (12) months after such termination of employment. It is proposed that the following resolution be adopted at the Meeting: 14 "RESOLVED, TO APPROVE THE EXTENSION OF THE PERIOD DURING WHICH THE COMPANY'S CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, WHO IS ALSO A MEMBER OF THE COMPANY'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS, MAY EXERCISE OPTIONS GRANTED TO HIM TO PURCHASE ORDINARY SHARES OF THE COMPANY FROM THREE (3) MONTHS AFTER TERMINATION OF HIS EMPLOYMENT WITH THE COMPANY TO TWELVE (12) MONTHS AFTER TERMINATION OF HIS EMPLOYMENT WITH THE COMPANY."
