NOTE 1 –DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Description of Business
magicJack VocalTec Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) is a cloud communications leader that is the inventor of the magicJack devices and other magicJack products and services. magicJacks weigh about one ounce and plug into the USB port on a computer or into a power adapter and high speed Internet source, provides users with complete phone service for home, enterprise and while traveling. The Company charges customers for the right (the "access right") to access its servers, and the Company's customers then continue to have the ability to obtain free telephone services. The Company also provides additional products and services, which include voice apps on smart phones, as well as the magicJack PLUS, magicJack GO and magicJack EXPRESS, which are updated magicJack devices that have their own CPU and can connect a regular phone directly to the user’s broadband modem/router and function as a standalone phone without using a computer. The Company's products and services allow users to make and/or receive free telephone calls to and from anywhere in the world where the customer has broadband access to the Internet, and allow customers to make free calls back to the United States and Canada from anywhere legally permitted in the world.
magicJack VocalTec is a vertically integrated group of companies. The Company owns a micro-processor chip design company, an appserver and session border controller company, a wholesale provider of voice-over-Internet-Protocol (“VoIP”) services, a softphone company, and the developer and provider of the magicJack product line. The Company also wholesales telephone service to VoIP providers and telecommunication carriers.
The Company was incorporated in the State of Israel in 1989 and is domiciled in Netanya, Israel, with offices in West Palm Beach, Florida.
In March 2016, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of North American Telecommunications Corporation (dba “Broadsmart”). Broadsmart is a leading hosted UCaaS (Unified Communication as a Service) provider for medium-to-large multi-location enterprise customers. Broadsmart has a track record of designing, provisioning and delivering complex UCaaS solutions to blue chip corporate customers on a nationwide basis. Broadsmart has expertise in servicing enterprises with hundreds-to-thousands of locations. With the acquisition of Broadsmart, the Company has diversified its operations into UCaaS targeting high end SMB and enterprise customers. This acquisition has positioned the Company to compete long-term in the UCaaS market.
During the first quarter of 2016, the Company created a new subsidiary, magicJack SMB, Inc. Through this subsidiary, the Company intends to provide easy-to-buy, simple-to-use VOIP services to small businesses at disruptive prices. The Company is currently in the final stages of product development for its first SMB product offering and expects to begin sales in Q2 2016.
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements that are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. Management believes, however, that all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The balance sheet at December 31, 2015 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are the basis for the discussion and analysis of the Company’s results of operations, liquidity and capital resources. References to authoritative accounting literature in this report, where applicable, are based on the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the United States Dollar (“U.S. Dollar”), which is the currency of the primary economic environment in which its consolidated operations are conducted. Transactions and balances originally denominated in U.S. Dollars are presented at their original amounts. Transactions and balances in currencies other than U.S. Dollars, including Israeli New Shekel (“NIS”), are re-measured in dollars and any gains or losses are recognized in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations in the period they occur.
Approximately 90% of the Company’s revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were from sales to customers located in the United States. The majority of the Company’s revenues recognized were generated from sales of the magicJack product line and from the software access right that accompanies these products, which were $20.1 million and $21.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company also provides its customers with the ability to make prepaid calls using the magicJack devices and magicJack APP by purchasing prepaid minutes. Revenues generated from the usage of prepaid minutes were $1.7 million and $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Basis of Consolidation
The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of magicJack VocalTec and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The results of Broadsmart Global, Inc. have been included since March 17, 2016. Refer to Note 14 – “Acquisition of Business,” for further details. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications may have been made to prior period financial statement amounts to conform to the current presentation. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2016 may not be indicative of the results for the entire year ending December 31, 2016. The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in this report and in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 filed on March 15, 2016.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of significant accounting policies used in preparing the Company’s financial statements, including a summary of recent accounting pronouncements that may affect its financial statements in the future, follows:
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates and judgments are revised periodically as required. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include allowances for billing adjustments and doubtful accounts, the recoverability of long-lived assets and goodwill, income taxes, income tax valuation allowance, uncertain tax liabilities, the value of ordinary shares issued in asset acquisitions, business combinations or underlying the Company’s ordinary share options, and estimates of likely outcomes related to certain contingent liabilities.
The Company evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis. The Company's estimates and assumptions are based on factors such as historical experience, trends within the Company and the telecommunications industry, general economic conditions and on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The results of such assumptions form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily available. Actual results may differ from the Company's estimates and assumptions as a result of varying market and economic conditions, and may result in lower revenues and lower net income.
Net Revenues
Net revenues consists of revenue from sales of magicJack devices to retailers, wholesalers or directly to customers, access right renewal fees, fees charged for shipping magicJack devices, usage of domestic and international prepaid minutes, access charges to other carriers and other miscellaneous charges. Revenue is recorded net of sales returns and allowances.
Revenue Recognition
magicJack Devices and Renewal Access Revenue
The Company recognizes revenues from sales and shipping of direct sales of the magicJack devices over the period associated with the initial access right period. Customers may purchase access rights for continued use of its software to access the Company’s servers for additional years either when the original purchase is made, or at any time thereafter. The revenue associated with the access right for additional years is deferred and recognized ratably over the extended access right period. Revenue from the sales of magicAPP access rights is recognized ratably over the access right period.
Sales Return Policy
The Company offers some of its direct sales customers a 30-day free trial before they have to pay for their magicJack device. The Company does not record or recognize revenue until the 30-day trial period has expired and a customer’s credit card has been charged.
Returns from retailers are accepted on an authorized basis for devices deemed defective. The Company may offer certain retailers the limited right to return any unsold merchandise from their initial stocking orders. The Company estimates potential returns under these arrangements at point of sale and re-estimates potential returns on a quarterly basis. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company’s estimates of returns and actual returns from initial stocking orders have not been materially different.
Prepaid Minutes and Access and Wholesale Charges
Revenue from prepaid minutes and access and wholesale charges are recognized as minutes are used. These revenues are generated from the usage of prepaid minutes, fees for origination of calls to 800-numbers and access fees charged to other telecommunication carriers on a per-minute basis for Interexchange Carriers (“IXC”) calls terminated on the Company’s servers. Revenues from access fee charges to other telecommunication carriers are recorded based on rates set forth in the respective state and federal tariffs, less a provision for billing adjustments.
Deferred Revenues
Deferred revenues consist primarily of billings and payments for magicJack devices and sales of access rights received in advance of revenue recognition. The Company bills and collects in advance for magicJack devices, which include the access right for the software to access its servers for an initial access right period in order to obtain free domestic local and long distance broadband telephone service. Deferred revenues to be recognized over the next twelve months are classified as current and included in deferred revenue, current portion in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The remaining amounts are classified as non-current in the consolidated balance sheets and included in deferred revenue, net of current portion.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues includes direct costs of operation of the Company’s servers, which are expensed as incurred. These costs include the Company’s internal operating costs, depreciation and amortization expense, access and interconnection charges to terminate domestic and international telephone calls on the public switched telephone network and related taxes. Direct costs also include regulatory costs, server maintenance, and costs to co-locate the Company’s equipment in other telephone companies’ facilities. Direct costs of producing magicJack devices are deferred on shipment and charged to cost of sales ratably over the initial access right period. Deferred costs are included in current assets in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Costs incurred for shipping and handling and credit card charges are included in cost of revenues and are expensed as incurred. Costs for shipping and handling and credit card charges were $1.0 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Marketing Expenses
Marketing expenses of $1.2 million and $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, consist primarily of advertising media buys for television commercials, Internet advertising and print advertising, as well as marketing related personnel costs and other marketing projects including sponsorships. Marketing costs are expensed when incurred. A break-down of marketing expense by category is as follows (in thousands):

Research and Development Expenses
The Company’s research and development activities consist primarily of the design and development of its proprietary software used in the magicJack devices, magicJack APP and its servers, as well as the development of new products and applications for use in its broadband service offerings. The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with applicable accounting pronouncements. These pronouncements specify that costs incurred internally in researching and developing a product should be charged to expense until technological feasibility has been established for the product. Once technological feasibility is established, all costs should be capitalized until the product is available for general release to customers. The Company has determined that technological feasibility for its products is reached after all high-risk development issues have been resolved through internal and customer base testing. Generally, new products offered to customers and improvements to the Company’s servers are placed in service on attainment of technological feasibility. The Company has not capitalized any of its research and development activities and related costs. Research and development expenses were $1.1 million and $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Earnings per Ordinary Share
Net income per share attributable to the Company’s shareholders – basic, is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during each period, including redeemable ordinary shares (if applicable). Net income per share attributable to the Company’s shareholders – diluted, is computed using the weighted average number of ordinary and potentially dilutive ordinary share equivalents outstanding during the period, including redeemable ordinary shares (if applicable). Potentially dilutive ordinary share equivalents consist of shares issuable upon the exercise or settlement of options to purchase ordinary shares or restricted stock units.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity at acquisition of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Billing Adjustments
The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts and billing adjustments based on the expected collectability of its accounts receivables. That estimate is based on historical collection experience, current economic and market conditions and a review of the current status of each customer’s trade accounts receivable. The allowance includes estimates of billing adjustments, which are negotiated with other telecommunications carriers and are common in the telecommunications industry.
Marketable Securities and Other Investments
Marketable securities are considered available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value with any unrealized gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income and as a separate component of capital equity in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Gains and losses are recorded based on specific identification by asset. The Company does not recognize changes in the fair value of its available-for-sale investments in income unless a decline in value is considered other-than-temporary in accordance with the authoritative guidance.
Certain Risks and Concentrations
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and accounts receivable. Cash equivalents generally consist of money market instruments and U.S. government notes. Marketable securities generally consist of equity and debt securities as well as a variety of mutual funds which primarily invest in government securities, debt, preferred stocks and equity securities.
The Company places its cash and cash equivalents in high quality financial institutions and management believes that the Company is not exposed to any significant risk on its cash accounts. The Company maintains accounts with various banks and brokerage organizations and constantly monitors the creditworthiness of these institutions. Cash accounts at each U.S. bank are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or FDIC up to $250 thousand in the aggregate and may exceed federally insured limits. Cash accounts at each Israeli bank are not insured. The Company has never experienced any losses related to these balances. At March 31, 2016, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $45.5 million, which included (i) $45.1 million in U.S. financial institutions, and (ii) $0.4 million in an Israeli financial institution.
The Company’s non-interest bearing cash balances in U.S. banks which included $1.6 million in one individual financial institution, were fully insured except for $559 thousand that exceeded insurance limits at March 31, 2016. The Company had money market accounts with a financial institution with balances totaling approximately $42.7 million at March 31, 2016.
No telecommunication carrier accounted for more than 10% of gross accounts receivable at March 31, 2016. One telecommunication carrier accounted for approximately 11% of gross accounts receivable at December 31, 2015. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, no telecommunications carrier accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s total net revenues.
One U.S. retail customer accounted for approximately 11% and 14% of gross accounts receivable at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, no retailer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s total net revenues.
Fair Value
The Company accounts for financial instruments in accordance with ASC Topic 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" (“ASC 820”), which provides a framework for measuring fair value and expands required disclosure about fair value measurements of assets and liabilities. ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s judgements about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows:
Level 1 – Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Valuations based on inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 – Valuation based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
When available, the Company uses quoted market prices to determine fair value, and it classifies such measurements within Level 1. Fair value measurements are classified according to the lowest level input or value-driver that is significant to the valuation. Fair value includes the consideration of nonperformance risk. Nonperformance risk refers to the risk that an obligation (either by a counterparty or the Company) will not be fulfilled. For the Company's financial assets traded in an active market (Level 1), the nonperformance risk is included in the market price. The Company’s assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis at fair value may include marketable securities and time deposits. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, all of them are Level 1 instruments. The fair value of Level 2 securities is estimated based on observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued expenses are expected to approximate fair value because of their immediate availability, near term maturities or potential interest payments at settlement.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost primarily determined using the first-in first-out cost method. Inventory is written off at the point it is determined to be obsolete.
Property, Equipment and Depreciation Expense
Property and equipment consist primarily of servers, computer hardware, furniture, and leasehold improvements. Fixed assets, other than leasehold improvements, are stated at cost with depreciation provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from three to fifteen years. Leasehold improvements are stated at cost and amortized over the shorter of the term of the lease or useful life of the assets. The cost of substantial improvements is capitalized while the cost of maintenance and repairs are charged to operating expenses as incurred.
The Company’s hardware consists of routers, gateways and servers that enable the Company’s telephony services. Some of these assets may be subject to technological risks and rapid market changes due to the introduction of new technology, products and services and changing customer demand. These changes may result in future adjustments to the estimated useful lives and the carrying value of these assets. Changes in estimated useful lives are accounted on a prospective basis starting with the period in which the change in estimate is made in accordance with ASC Subtopic 250-10, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.”
Long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Management believes there is no impairment at March 31, 2016.
Intangible Assets
Identifiable intangible assets are stated at cost. Amortization is computed on identified intangibles subject to amortization using the accelerated and straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of such assets, which range from one to seventeen years. The costs of developing the Company’s intellectual property rights, intellectual property right applications and technology are charged to research and development expense.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized to operations, but instead are reviewed for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if there is an indicator of impairment. Indicators include, but are not limited to: sustained operating losses or a trend of poor operating performance and a decrease in the Company’s market capitalization below its book value. The Company’s valuation methodology for assessing impairment requires management to make judgments and assumptions based on historical experience and projections of future operating performance. If these assumptions differ materially from future results, the Company may record impairment charges in the future. With the acquisition of Broadsmart in March 2016 and the founding of the SMB business during the current quarter, management will be evaluating each of these new business lines separately and has determined that the Company now has three reportable segments – “Consumer,” “Enterprise” and “SMB”. Refer to Note 15 - “Segment Reporting” for further details.
The Company may utilize a qualitative assessment to determine if it is "more-likely-than-not" that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If so, the two-step goodwill impairment test is required to be performed. If not, no further testing is required and the Company documents the relevant qualitative factors that support the strength of its fair value. Qualitative factors may include, but are not limited to: macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors that may have a negative effect on earnings, overall financial performance, and other relevant entity-specific events.
If the two-step goodwill impairment test is required to be performed, under the first step, the fair value of a reporting unit is compared with its carrying value (including goodwill). If the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the Company proceeds to step two of the goodwill impairment test. Under step two, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of a reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of a reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation and the residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair value of a reporting unit goodwill. Fair value of a reporting unit is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis. An impairment loss shall be recognized to the extent that the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value.
In connection with the Company’s annual goodwill impairment analysis, as of October 1, 2015, the annual measurement date, the Company’s analysis did not indicate any impairment of goodwill has occurred. Management believes there is no impairment at March 31, 2016.
Share-based Compensation
Share-based compensation generally consists of option grants or ordinary share and restricted stock units awards to directors, officers, employees or consultants that are measured at grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and are recognized as an expense over the requisite service period.
Business Combinations
The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method of accounting requires that the purchase price, including the fair value of contingent consideration, of the acquisition be allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed using the fair values determined by management as of the acquisition date. Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of consideration transferred over the net of the acquisition date fair values of assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. While the Company uses its best estimates and assumptions as part of the purchase price allocation process to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, the Company’s estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company records adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill to the extent the Company identifies adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to the consolidated statements of operations. The Company includes the results of all acquisitions in its Consolidated Financial Statements from the date of acquisition. Acquisition related transaction costs, such as banking, legal, accounting and other costs incurred in connection with an acquisition, are expensed as incurred in general and administrative expense.
Acquisition-related integration costs which do not meet the criteria of discontinued operations include: (i) costs associated with exit or disposal activities, (ii) costs for employee, lease and contract terminations, (iii) facility closing costs, and other costs associated with exit activities. Acquisition-related integration costs also include expenses directly related to integrating and reorganizing acquired businesses, employee retention costs, recruiting costs, certain moving costs, certain duplicative costs during integration and asset impairments. These costs are expensed as incurred in general and administrative expense.
Income Taxes
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their book basis using enacted tax rates. Any changes in enacted tax rates or tax laws are included in the provision for income taxes in the period of enactment. The Company’s net deferred tax assets consist primarily of foreign net operating loss carry-forwards and timing differences between recognition of income for book and tax purposes. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce the net deferred tax assets to the amount that it estimates is more-likely-than-not to be realized. The Company periodically reviews the composition of its deferred tax assets and related valuation allowances and will make adjustments if available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not a change in the carrying amounts is required. The Company increased the valuation allowance by $0.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016. The Company decreased the valuation allowance by $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015.
The Company assesses its income tax positions and records tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon its evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date. For those tax positions where there is a greater than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, the Company has recorded the largest amount of tax benefit that may potentially be realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. For those income tax positions that the Company estimates there is a 50% or less likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit has been recognized in the financial statements. The Company revised its liability for uncertain tax positions by an increase of $1.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016, due primarily to an increase in uncertain tax positions related to various state issues and the revaluation impact of certain Israeli uncertain tax positions.
The Company records its income tax expense for interim financial statements by using an estimated annual effective income tax rate based on its expected annual results after consideration of permanent nontaxable items. The tax benefits of net operating loss carry-forwards expected to be realized through 2016 and changes in other deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized during interim periods based on an annual forecast as of the interim reporting date. At March 31, 2016, the estimated annual effective income tax rate is expected to approximate 34.9%, excluding discrete tax items, which includes federal, foreign, state and local taxes. This rate may fluctuate due to changes in jurisdictional income and to the timing of other discrete period transactions during the remainder of the year.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” The standard requires entities to recognize revenue through the application of a five-step model, which includes identification of the contract, identification of the performance obligations, determination of the transaction price, allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognition of revenue as the entity satisfies the performance obligations. On July 9, 2015, the FASB deferred the effective dates of the standard by one year. As a result, the standard will be effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Companies may adopt the standard as early as the original effective date (i.e. annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016). Early adoption prior to that date is not permitted. The standard allows for either full retrospective adoption, meaning the standard is applied to all of the periods presented, or a modified retrospective adoption, meaning the standard is applied only to the most current period presented. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08 to provide clarification regarding the application of the principal-versus-agent guidance. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10 to clarify the guidance for identifying performance obligations and accounting for licenses of intellectual property. The Company is currently evaluating the guidance to determine the potential impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, and financial statement disclosures.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, "Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory". This ASU applies to inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out ("FIFO") or average cost. Under the updated guidance, an entity should measure inventory that is within scope at the lower of cost and net realizable value, which is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predicable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory that is measured using last-in, last-out ("LILO"). This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and should be applied prospectively with early adoption permitted at the beginning of an interim and annual reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the guidance to determine the potential impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, “Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes”. ASU 2015-17 requires deferred tax liabilities and assets to be classified as noncurrent in the consolidated balance sheet. The standard is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The ASU may be applied either prospectively to all deferred tax liabilities and assets or retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company adopted ASU 2015-17 on a prospective basis in the fourth quarter of 2015. Prior periods were not retrospectively adjusted.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases”. ASU 2016-02 requires that long-term lease arrangements be recognized on the balance sheet. The standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the guidance to determine the potential impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”. ASU 2016-09 simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2018 for both interim and annual reporting periods. The Company is currently evaluating the guidance to determine the potential impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
NOTE 3 – INVESTMENTS
Investments consist of time deposits with maturity dates of greater than 90 days totaling $367 thousand at March 31, 2016, and December 31, 2015.
The fair value of time deposits at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was determined based on its face value, which approximates its fair value and is a Level 1 input.
There was no realized gain or loss on investments for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015.

Costs necessary to fulfill the Company’s obligations to provide broadband telephone service to new and existing customers who have purchased magicJack devices or access rights to access the Company’s servers are expensed as incurred. Such costs were approximately $3.5 million and $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
NOTE 8 – OTHER LIABILITIES
As of March 31, 2016, the Company no longer has an outstanding indebtedness in connection with an agreement entered into during June 2011 for the purchase of certain intangible assets, and secured only by such intangible assets. The Company made a final non-interest bearing annual payment of $1.5 million in May 2015.
NOTE 9 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Proceedings
The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims, including intellectual property claims, contractual and commercial disputes, employment claims, state and local tax matters and other matters which arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company’s policy is to vigorously defend any legal proceedings. Management regularly evaluates the status of legal proceedings in which the Company is involved in order to assess whether a loss is probable or there is a reasonable possibility that a loss or additional loss may have been incurred and to determine if accruals are appropriate. While the outcome of these claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe that the outcome of any of these legal matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results, financial condition or cash flows. However, an unexpected adverse resolution of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations in a particular fiscal year or quarter.
On March 11, 2016, a purported class action lawsuit was filed against the Company, its Chief Executive Officer, Gerald Vento ("Mr. Vento"), and its Chief Financial Officer, Jose Gordo ("Mr. Gordo"), in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaint alleges that the Company and Messrs. Vento and Gordo made false and misleading statements regarding the financial performance and guidance during the alleged class period of November 12, 2013 to March 12, 2014. The complaint alleges that the Company and Messrs. Vento and Gordo violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The complaint seeks damages, attorneys' fees and costs, and equitable/injunctive relief or such other relief as the court deems proper. The Company believes the lawsuit to be without merit. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against it and the Company does not believe that the outcome of this legal proceeding will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results, financial condition or cash flows. Because the case is at a preliminary stage, the Company cannot estimate the likelihood of liability or the amount of potential damages, if any.
The Company believes that it files all required tax returns and pays all required state and municipal taxes (such as sales, excise, utility, and ad valorem taxes), fees and surcharges. The Company is the subject of inquiries and examinations by various states and municipalities in the normal course of business. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the Company makes a provision for a liability for taxes when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. These provisions are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. The Company strongly believes any possible claims are without merit and vigorously defends its rights. However, if a state or municipality were to prevail in any matter, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operation and cash flows. In addition, it is at least reasonably possible that a potential loss may exist for tax contingencies in addition to the provisions taken by the Company. For those potential additional tax contingencies which can be reasonably estimated, that additional potential liability ranges from $0 to $2.5 million dollars.
NOTE 10 –TREASURY STOCK
On March 17, 2016, the Company issued 233,402 of its ordinary shares held as treasury stock with a cost of $3.6 million, or $15.46 per shares, as part of the consideration given for the Broadsmart acquisition. Refer to Note 14 - “Acquisition of Business” for further details. In addition, in March 2016, the Company issued 2,016 of its ordinary shares held as treasury shares with a cost of $25 thousand, or $12.24 per share, to a Board member as a result of restricted stock units, that were issued in mid-2013, vesting.

NOTE 11 – SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company has granted ordinary share options, issued restricted stock units and ordinary shares as an alternative or supplement to the compensation of its executives, employees, directors and outside consultants. The Company’s share-based compensation program is a long-term retention program intended to attract and reward talented executives, employees and outside consultants, and align their interests with stockholders. The Company is currently granting share-based awards under the magicJack VocalTec Ltd. 2013 Stock Incentive Plan and the magicJack VocalTec Ltd. 2013 Israeli Stock Incentive Plan (together, the “2013 Plans”). In July 2013, the shareholders approved the 2013 Plans at the annual general meeting of shareholders to allow grants of ordinary share options, restricted stock units and ordinary shares. In April 2014, the shareholders approved amendments to the 2013 Plans increasing the number of share based awards available for grant. As of March 31, 2016, the aggregate number of shares subject to awards under the 2013 Plans, as amended, is 3,600,000. The Company had previously granted shares under the VocalTec amended Master Stock Plan (the “2003 Plan”) which expired in April 2013. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company issued 1,000,000 ordinary share options outside of the 2013 Plans as an inducement for the two founders of Broadsmart to become employed by the Company. Share-based awards are generally exercisable or issuable upon vesting. The Company’s policy is to recognize compensation expense for awards with only service conditions and a graded vesting on a straight-line basis over the requisite vesting period for the entire award.
The Company’s share-based compensation expense for ordinary share options, issued restricted stock units and ordinary shares for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was as follows (in thousands):

The decrease in share based compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2016, is due to the favorable impact of forfeitures on the calculation of stock based compensation expense during 2015 and the timing of ordinary share options issued during the three months ended March 31, 2016.
Ordinary Share Options
Ordinary share options granted under the 2013 Plans have a five-year life and typically vest over a period of 36 months beginning at the date of grant. The 2013 Plans, as amended, currently allow for a maximum term of five years for awards granted. The following table provides additional information regarding ordinary share options issued, outstanding and exercisable for the year ended December 31, 2015, and three months ended March 31, 2016 (aggregate intrinsic value in thousands):

Share-based compensation expense recognized for ordinary share options was approximately $0.6 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The total intrinsic value of ordinary share options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was $4 thousand and $0, respectively. As of March 31, 2016, there was approximately $5.8 million of unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to unvested ordinary share options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average remaining period of 1.86 years.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options. The determination of the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by the Company’s stock price, as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. These variables include the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, assumed employee exercise behaviors, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. For purposes of valuing ordinary share options, the Company used historical volatility at the date of grant. The approximate risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield for comparable periods. The Company has experienced forfeitures in the past and estimates a forfeiture rate for awards issued. The expected term of the ordinary share options was calculated using the simplified method in accordance with SAB No. 107, “Share Based Payment.” The Company does not expect to pay dividends on its ordinary shares in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Company used a dividend yield of zero in its option pricing model. There were no ordinary share options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2015. The Company granted 1,000,000 ordinary share options during the three months ended March 31, 2016 with a weighted average fair value of $2.79. The grants were measured using the following assumptions:

The Company may also award non-vested restricted stock units to its executives, employees, directors and outside consultants under the 2013 Plans, which may vest based on service or a combination of service and other conditions, such as market share price. The compensation expense for the award will be recognized assuming that the requisite service is rendered regardless of whether the market conditions are achieved. Each non-vested stock unit, upon vesting, represents the right to receive one ordinary share of the Company. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company did not grant any restricted stock units under the 2013 Plans, as amended.
The following table summarizes the Company’s restricted stock unit activity for the three months ended March 31, 2016:

Share-based compensation expense recognized for restricted stock units was approximately $0.4 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. As of March 31, 2016, there was $2.7 million in unrecognized share-based compensation costs related to restricted stock units. The unrecognized share-based compensation expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted average remaining period of 1.45 years.
NOTE 12 – INCOME TAXES
Total income tax expense was $3.5 million and $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The principal components of our income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 are the following (in thousands):

The Company primarily operates in the U.S. and Israel, and the Company’s Israeli operations are subject to a statutory income tax rate of 25.0% that is lower than the Company’s U.S. federal income tax rate which is 35% as of March 31, 2016.
For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company recorded income tax expense of $3.5 million, which is higher than the expected tax provision of $1.5 million, using the statutory rate of 35%, due, in part, to the net impact of a decrease in the Israeli corporate tax rate from 26.5% to 25.0% which was effective in January 2016. The decrease in the rate resulted in the Company needing to reduce its Israeli deferred tax assets, primarily net operating loss carryforwards, which resulted in deferred tax expense and a reduction in the value of related deferred tax assets of $1.4 million. Additionally, the effective tax rate was impacted by increases to uncertain tax positions of $0.7 million, a decrease to deferred tax assets associated with expired stock options of $0.2 million, partially offset by other various discrete items of ($0.2) million. The discrete items noted above were partially offset by the lower jurisdictional tax rate charged on the operating income of the Company’s Israeli operations.
NOTE 13 – INCOME PER SHARE
Net Income per share – basic, is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during each period. Net income per share – diluted, is computed by dividing net income attributable to shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary and potentially dilutive ordinary share equivalents outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive ordinary share equivalents consist of shares issuable upon the exercise or settlement of options to purchase ordinary shares, restricted stock unit grants and outstanding put option contracts on the Company’s own stock (if applicable).
Potentially dilutive securities, using the treasury stock method are set forth in the following table, which presents the computation of basic and diluted net income per ordinary share attributable to shareholders (in thousands, except for per share information):

For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, 3,856,847 and 2,097,356 outstanding ordinary share options and restricted stock units, respectively, were excluded from the earnings per share calculation because they would be anti-dilutive.
NOTE 14 – ACQUISITION OF BUSINESS
On March 15, 2016, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 15, 2016 (the "Agreement") with Todd A. Correll, Thomas J. Tharrington (Messrs. Correll and Tharrington are collectively referred to as the "Seller Shareholders"), North American Telecommunications Corporation d/b/a Broadsmart (the "Seller" and collectively with the "Seller Shareholders," referred to as the "Seller Parties"). The Agreement provided that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Agreement, the Company will acquire all of the Seller's assets, properties and rights of whatever kind, tangible and intangible, other than certain excluded assets and excluded liabilities under the terms of the Agreement.
The Agreement provided that the Company would acquire substantially all of the assets of the Seller in exchange for approximately $38.0 million in cash, plus unregistered ordinary shares of the Company worth $1.8 million, valued based on the average of the previous 30 days stock price, subject to certain adjustments, including an adjustment for working capital and indebtedness. The Agreement also provided for an additional contingent payment of up to $200,000 to the Seller Shareholders in the event that certain two individuals currently employed by the Seller accept the Company's employment offer within thirty days of the completion of the acquisition or remain employed by the Company through December 15, 2016 (the contingent payment is $100,000 in the event that one of the two individuals fails to accept such employment offer). This amount is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Lastly, the Seller Shareholders will receive an additional contingent payment of $2.0 million in cash if the acquired assets generate 2016 revenues equal to or exceeding $15.6 million (the "Earnout Payment"). The Earnout Payment will not exceed $2.0 million. The $2.0 million Earnout Payment was paid into escrow at the time of close. No asset or liability is included in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet for this item.
The terms of the Agreement provided for the Company to place $3.0 million of the cash consideration at the closing in escrow with an escrow agent. The purpose of the escrow is to cover any indemnification claims by the Company against the Seller Parties. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Seller Parties are not liable to the Company and its affiliates until the aggregate amount of all losses in respect of indemnification exceeds $400,000 (the "Basket") and in such case the Seller Parties shall be liable only for all losses in excess of the Basket up to a cap of $3.0 million and excluding any individual loss that is less than or equal to $7,500. Certain fundamental representations and warranties, the post-closing covenants and certain other specified obligations of the Seller Parties are outside of the Basket, cap and individual loss limitations. The Company, at this time, does not estimate any liability in excess of the Basket and therefore no asset or liability are included in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet for this item.
On March 17, 2016, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Broadsmart upon the terms and conditions of the Agreement.
The Company issued 233,402 shares of the Company's ordinary shares with a fair value of $1.7 million as of the date of the acquisition to the Seller in satisfaction of the stock consideration provided in the Agreement. The Company also granted stock options to each of the Seller Shareholders to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company's ordinary shares in conjunction with each of them entering into an employment agreement with the Company. The stock options shall vest as follows: 50% will vest in even annual increments over the next three-year period if the Seller Shareholders remain employed with the Company as of each respective vesting date, and 50% will vest over the next three-year period if Broadsmart achieves certain designated revenue and EBITDA targets.
Broadsmart is a leading hosted UCaaS (Unified Communication as a Service) provider for medium-to-large multi-location enterprise customers. Broadsmart has a track record of designing, provisioning and delivering complex UCaaS solutions to blue chip corporate customers on a nationwide basis. Broadsmart has expertise in servicing enterprises with hundreds-to-thousands of locations. With the acquisition of Broadsmart, the Company has diversified its operations into UCaaS targeting high end SMB and enterprise customers. This acquisition has positioned the Company to compete long-term in the UCaaS market.
The Company incurred $0.8 million in acquisition related transaction costs, which are included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The results of operations of the Broadsmart business and the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been included in our consolidated financial statements since the date of the acquisition.
The acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting under which assets and liabilities of Broadsmart were recorded at their respective fair values including an amount for goodwill representing the difference between the acquisition consideration and the fair value of the identifiable net assets. The Company expects this goodwill to be deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill attributable to the acquisition has been recorded as a non-current asset and is not amortized, but is subject to an annual review for impairment.
The acquisition price was allocated to the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the closing date. The fair values assigned to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on management’s estimates and assumptions. The estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are considered preliminary and are based on the most recent information available. The Company believes that the information provides a reasonable basis for assigning the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Thus, the provisional measurements of fair value set forth below are subject to change. The Company expects to finalize the valuation as soon as practicable, but not later than one year from the acquisition date.

Indications of fair value of the intangible assets acquired in connection with the acquisition were determined using either the income, market or replacement cost methodologies. The intangible assets are being amortized over periods which reflect the pattern in which economic benefits of the assets are expected to be realized. The customer relationships are being amortized on an accelerated basis over an estimated useful life of sixteen years and the non-compete agreements, process know how and software license are being amortized on a straight-line basis over four years, five years and ten years, respectively. Tradename is not subject to amortization but is subject to an annual review for impairment.
The excess of purchase price over the fair value amounts assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed represents the amount of goodwill resulting from the acquisition. The Company expects this goodwill to be deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill attributable to the acquisition has been recorded as a non-current asset and is not amortized, but is subject to an annual review for impairment. The Company believes the factors that contributed to goodwill include synergies that are specific to the Company’s consolidated business, the acquisition of a talented workforce that provides the Company with expertise in the small and medium business market, as well as other intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 are not provided as it was impracticable for the information to be included at the filing date as it was not available due to the timing of the acquisition. Broadsmart had not previously been audited and the 2015 audit is still in process as of the filing date.
NOTE 15 – SEGMENT REPORTING
Operating segments are defined under U.S. GAAP as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly by a company's chief operating decision makers in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.
Historically, the Company has not had separate operating segments. However, with the acquisition of Broadsmart in March 2016 (see Note 14 above) and the founding of the SMB business during the current quarter, management will be evaluating each of these new business lines separately and has determined that the Company now has three reportable segments – “Consumer,” “Enterprise” and “SMB”. These segments are organized by the products and services that are sold and the customers that are served. The Company measures and evaluates its reportable segments based on revenues and gross profit margins. The Company’s segments and their principal activities consist of the following:
Consumer
This operating segment represents a vertically integrated group of companies, a micro-processor chip design company, an appserver and session border controller company, a wholesale provider of VoIP services, a softphone company, the developer and provider of the magicJack device, and a wholesaler of telephone service to VoIP providers and telecommunication carriers. This segment represents the historical magicJack consumer business.
magicJack is a cloud communications leader that is the inventor of the magicJack devices and other magicJack products and services. magicJack’s products and services allow users to make and/or receive free telephone calls to and from anywhere in the world where the customer has broadband access to the Internet, and allow customers to make free calls back to the United States and Canada from anywhere legally permitted in the world.
Enterprise
This operating segment includes Broadsmart. Broadsmart is a leading hosted UCaaS (Unified Communication as a Service) provider for medium-to-large multi-location enterprise customers. Broadsmart has a track record of designing, provisioning and delivering complex UCaaS solutions to blue chip corporate customers on a nationwide basis. Broadsmart has expertise in servicing enterprises with hundreds-to-thousands of locations.
SMB
Through this operating segment, started during the first quarter of 2016, the Company intends to provide easy-to-buy, simple-to-use VOIP services to small businesses at disruptive prices. The company is currently in the final stages of product development for its first SMB product offering and expects to begin sales in Q2 2016.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2016 and for the three month period ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, as well as our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements, the accuracy of which involves risk and uncertainties. We use words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “plans,” “expects,” “future,” “intends,” “estimates,” “projects,” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. Readers should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this report. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons. Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed under the section titled “Risk Factors” of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 filed on March 15, 2016.
Overview
magicJack VocalTec Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) is a cloud communications leader that is the inventor of the magicJack devices and other magicJack products and services. magicJack devices weigh about one ounce and plug into the USB port on a computer or into a power adapter and high speed Internet source and provide users with complete phone service for home, enterprise and while traveling. We charge our customers highly competitive rates for the right (the “access right”) to access our servers, and our customers then continue to have the ability to obtain free telephone services. We also provide additional products and services, which include voice apps on smart phones, as well as the magicJack PLUS, magicJack GO and magicJack EXPRESS, which are updated versions of the magicJack device that have their own CPU and can connect a regular phone directly to the user’s broadband modem/router and function as a standalone phone without using a computer. Our products and services allow users to make and/or receive free telephone calls to and from anywhere in the world where the customer has broadband access to the Internet, and allow customers to make free calls back to the United States and Canada from anywhere legally permitted in the world.
magicJack VocalTec is a vertically integrated group of companies. We own a micro-processor chip design company, an appserver and session border controller company, a wholesale provider of VoIP services, a softphone company, and the developer and provider of the magicJack product line. We also wholesale telephone services to VoIP providers and telecommunications carriers.
Our strategy since 2007 has been to vertically integrate our technology, design and suppliers, and we have completed four acquisitions between 2007 and 2010, including a merger with the company that invented VoIP, in order to implement this strategy.
During September 2011, we began promoting the magicJack APP that can be used to make or receive telephone calls between two computers or between the customer’s computer and a public switch telephone network. The customer can use a headphone or a computer’s speakers and microphone to make and receive telephone calls. In September 2011, the magicJack APP also became available for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. In August 2012, the magicJack APP became available for Android phones. In June 2013, we introduced the New magicJack PLUS. This new device has superior voice quality, expanded memory and enhanced processing power. The New magicJack PLUS includes a six-month right to access our servers in order to make and receive telephone calls for free. In July 2014, we introduced the magicJack GO which includes a twelve month right to access our servers. In April 2015, we released an update to the magicAPP to iOS customers and in July 2015 the updated magicAPP was made available to Android users. The magicAPP offers a US number, unlimited local and long distance calling to the US, Canada, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands, and unlimited text messaging to any US mobile number. The magicAPP offers access to our servers on a monthly or annual basis. In May 2015, we introduced the magicJack EXPRESS which includes a three month right to access our servers.
In March 2016, we acquired substantially all of the assets of North American Telecommunications Corporation (dba “Broadsmart”). Broadsmart is a leading hosted UCaaS (Unified Communication as a Service) provider for medium-to-large multi-location enterprise customers. Broadsmart has a track record of designing, provisioning and delivering complex UCaaS solutions to blue chip corporate customers on a nationwide basis. Broadsmart has expertise in servicing enterprises with hundreds-to-thousands of locations. With the acquisition of Broadsmart, we have diversified our operations into UCaaS targeting high end SMB and enterprise customers. This acquisition has positioned us to compete long-term in the UCaaS market.
During the first quarter of 2016, we created a new subsidiary, magicJack SMB, Inc. Through this subsidiary, we intend to provide easy-to-buy, simple-to-use VOIP services to small businesses at disruptive prices. We are currently in the final stages of product development for our first SMB product offering and expect to begin sales in Q2 2016.
Basis of Presentation
Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements that are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. The balance sheet at December 31, 2015 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Management believes, however, that all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are the basis for the discussion and analysis of our results of operations, liquidity and capital resources. References to authoritative accounting literature in this report, where applicable, are based on the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). Our functional and reporting currency is the United States Dollar (“U.S. Dollar”), which is the currency of the primary economic environment in which our consolidated operations are conducted. Transactions and balances originally denominated in U.S. dollars are presented at their original amounts. Transactions and balances in currencies other than U.S. dollars, including Israeli New Shekel (“NIS”), are re-measured in U.S. dollars and any gains or losses are recognized in our consolidated financial statements in the period they occur.
We have historically prepared our consolidated financial statements on the basis of being a single reporting entity. Approximately 90% of our revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were derived from sales to customers located in the United States. Going forward, with the acquisition of Broadsmart and the internal development of our SMB division, we will be reporting the results of operations for these new business lines as separate business segments.
Basis of Consolidation
Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of magicJack VocalTec and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The results of Broadsmart Global, Inc. have been included since March 17, 2016. Refer to Note 14 – “Acquisition of Business,” for further details. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications may have been made to prior period financial statement amounts to conform to the current presentation. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2016 may not be indicative of the results for the entire year ending December 31, 2016. The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in this report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 filed on March 15, 2016.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates and judgments are revised periodically as required. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include allowances for billing adjustments and doubtful accounts, the recoverability of long-lived assets and goodwill, income taxes, income tax valuation allowance, uncertain tax liabilities, the value of ordinary shares issued in business combinations or underlying our ordinary share options, the expected forfeitures of ordinary share options and estimates of likely outcomes related to certain contingent liabilities.
We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis. Our estimates and assumptions are based on factors such as historical experience, trends within the Company and the telecommunications industry, general economic conditions and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. The results of such assumptions form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily available. Actual results may differ from our estimates and assumptions as a result of varying market and economic conditions, and may result in lower revenues and lower operating income.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
We have identified below our critical accounting policies. These policies are both the most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require our management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments and estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Net revenues consists of revenue from sales of the magicJack devices to retailers, wholesalers or directly to customers, access rights fees, fees charged for shipping the magicJack devices, usage of prepaid minutes, access charges to other carriers and other miscellaneous charges for telecommunication usage. Revenue is recorded net of sales returns and allowances.
magicJack Devices and Renewal Access Revenue
We recognize revenues from sales and shipping of direct sales of the magicJack devices over the period associated with the initial access right period. Customers may purchase access rights for continued use of our software to access our servers for additional years either when the original purchase is made, or at any time thereafter. The revenue associated with the access right for additional years is deferred and recognized ratably over the extended access right period. Revenue from the sales of magicAPP access rights is recognized ratably over the access right period.
Sales Return Policy
We offer some of our direct sales customers a 30-day free trial before they have to pay for their magicJack device. We do not record or recognize revenue until the 30-day trial period has expired and a customer’s credit card has been charged.
Returns from retailers are accepted on an authorized basis for devices deemed defective. We may offer certain retailers the limited right to return any unsold merchandise from their initial stocking orders. We estimate potential returns under these arrangements at point of sale and re-estimate potential returns on a quarterly basis. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, our estimates of returns and actual returns from initial stocking orders have not been materially different.
Prepaid Minutes and Access and Wholesale Charges
Revenue from prepaid minutes and access and wholesale charges are recognized as minutes are used. These revenues are generated from the usage of prepaid minutes, fees charged to telecommunications carriers or providers for origination of their calls to 800-numbers and access fees charged to other telecommunications carriers or providers on a per-minute basis for Interexchange Carriers (“IXC”) calls terminated to our end-users. Revenues from access fee charges to other telecommunications carriers are recorded based on rates set forth in the respective state and federal tariffs or negotiated contract rates, less a provision for billing adjustments.
INCOME TAXES
We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their book basis using enacted tax rates. Any changes in enacted rates or tax laws are included in the provision for income taxes in the year of enactment. Our net deferred tax assets consist of primarily foreign net operating loss carry-forwards and timing differences between recognition of income for book and tax purposes. We record a valuation allowance to reduce the net deferred tax assets to the amount that we estimate is more-likely-than-not to be realized. We periodically review the composition of our net deferred tax assets and related valuation allowances and make adjustments if available evidence indicates that it is more-likely-than-not a change in the carrying amounts is required. We increased the valuation allowance by $0.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016.
We assess our income tax positions and record tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon our evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date. For those tax positions that we estimate there is a greater than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, we have recorded the largest amount of tax benefit that may potentially be realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. For those income tax positions that we estimate there is a 50% or less likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit has been recognized in the financial statements. We revised our liability for uncertain tax positions by an increase of $1.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016, due primarily to an increase in uncertain tax positions related to various state issues and the revaluation impact of previously recorded Israeli uncertain tax positions.
We record our income tax expense for interim financial statements by using an estimated annual effective income tax rate based on our expected annual results after elimination of nontaxable items. The tax benefits of net operating loss carry-forwards expected to be realized through 2016 and changes in other deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized during interim periods based on annual forecasts as of the interim reporting date. At March 31, 2016, the estimated annual effective income tax rate is expected to approximate 34.9%, excluding discrete tax items, which includes federal, foreign, and state and local taxes. This rate may fluctuate due to changes in our jurisdictional income and due to the timing of other discrete period transactions during the remainder of the year.
SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
Share-based compensation generally consists of option grants or ordinary share and restricted stock units awards to directors, officers, employees or consultants. We account for share-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, "Compensation - Stock Compensation" (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of equity-based payment awards on the date of grant based on the fair value of the award. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The following table presents our unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations for the periods indicated (in thousands). The unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations below have been expanded to show the composition of our net revenues and cost of revenues to enable a more meaningful discussion of our operations.

Sales of the magicJack devices – represents revenues recognized from sales of the magicJack devices to retailers, wholesalers, or direct to customers, net of returns, over the period associated with the initial three, six or twelve months access right period. These revenues are recorded net of sales allowance, chargebacks, retailer discounts and advertising allowances;
|
|
·
|
Access right renewals – represents revenues from customers purchasing rights to access our servers beyond the initial access right period included with a magicJack device or magicJack service. The extended access right ranges from one to five years. These fees charged to customers are initially deferred and recognized as revenue ratably over the extended access right period. These revenues also include revenues from access rights granted to paid subscribers of the magicAPP and are recognized ratably over the access right period;
|
|
·
|
Shipping and handling – represents charges for shipping and handling fees for magicJack devices shipped directly to customers. The fees are initially deferred and recognized as revenues over the initial three, six or twelve months access right period associated with the magicJack device;
|
|

These revenues are recorded based on rates set forth in the respective state and federal tariffs or negotiated contract rates, less provisions for billing adjustments; and
|
|
·
|
Other – represents primarily revenues generated by ancillary revenue sources.
|
Components of Cost of Revenues
Our cost of revenues is comprised of the following components:
|
·
|
Cost of magicJack devices sold – represents the costs of components and manufacturing of the magicJack devices, as well as broker commissions, production, packaging and other inventory-related costs. The cost of components and manufacturing of the magicJack devices is recognized from sales of the magicJack devices to retailers, wholesalers, or direct to customers over the period associated with the initial three, six or twelve months access right period;
|
|
·
|
Shipping and handling – represents freight, postage and other transportation costs related to: (i) transportation of the magicJack devices from the manufacturer to our warehouse and distribution center, and (ii) freight, shipping and handling fees incurred to ship the magicJack devices to retailers and directly to customers.

|
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2016 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2015
Net Revenues
Total net revenue was $23.7 million and $25.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, representing a decrease of $1.8 million, or 7.1%. The decrease in the components of net revenues was primarily attributable to the following:
|
·
|
$1.9 million decrease in access right renewal revenues;
|
|
·
|
$0.5 million decrease in revenues from prepaid minutes resulting from lower usage levels; and
|
|
·
|
$0.1 million decrease in magicJack related product revenue reflecting lower volumes.
|
These decreases in components of net revenue were partially offset by a $0.2 million increase in revenues from the sale of magicJack devices and $0.5 million for the 15 days of revenue for Broadsmart in March 2016.
For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, sales of the magicJack devices through retail outlets represented approximately 59% and 66%, respectively, of sales of all magicJack devices sold. For the same periods, direct sales represented approximately 41% and 34%, respectively, of magicJack devices sold. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, no retailer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s total net revenue.
Cost of Revenues
Total cost of revenues was $8.2 million and $9.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, representing a decrease of approximately $1.3 million, or 13.3%. This decrease in cost of revenues was primarily attributable to: (i) a $0.8 million decrease in network and carrier charges primarily as a result of lower traffic and better negotiated rates with other carriers, (ii) a $0.2 million decrease in credit card processing fees, (iii) a $0.1 million decrease in the cost of magicJack devices, and (iv) a $0.3 million decrease in other cost of revenues primarily attributable to a decrease in overhead allocation reflecting lower personnel related costs. These decreases in components of cost of revenues was partially offset by a $0.1 million increase in shipping and handling costs. In total, cost of revenues for Broadsmart were $0.3 million for the partial month of operations in March 2016.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses were $11.3 million and $11.6 million for three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, representing a decrease of $0.3 million, or 3.1%. This decrease in operating expenses is primarily attributable to a $1.5 million decrease in marketing expense reflecting reduced media buys and marketing related spends as well as lower personnel related costs. This decrease was partially offset by a $1.2 million increase in General and Administrative (“G&A”) expense primarily reflecting increased legal, accounting and professional fees associated with the acquisition of Broadsmart totaling approximately $0.8 million and a partial month of Broadsmart related costs totaling $0.2 million.
Income Taxes
Total income tax expense was $3.5 million and $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The principal components of our income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 are the following (in thousands):

We primarily operate in the U.S. and Israel, and our Israeli operations are subject to a statutory income tax rate of 25.0% that is lower than our U.S. federal income tax rate which is 35% as of March 31, 2016.
For the three months ended March 31, 2016, we recorded an income tax expense of $3.5 million, which is higher than the expected tax provision of $1.5 million, using the statutory income tax rate of 35% due, in part, to the net impact of a decrease in the Israeli corporate tax rate from 26.5% to 25.0% which was effective in January 2016. The decrease in the rate resulted in the Company needing to reduce its Israeli deferred tax assets, primarily net operating loss carryforwards, which resulted in discrete tax expense and a reduction in the value of related deferred tax assets of $1.4 million. Additionally, the effective tax rate was impacted by increases to uncertain tax positions of $0.7 million, a decrease to deferred tax assets associated with expired stock options of $0.2 million, and other various discrete items of ($0.2) million. The discrete items noted above were partially offset by the lower jurisdictional tax rate charged on the operating income of the Company’s Israeli operations.
The 2016 estimated annual effective tax rate is expected to approximate 34.9%, excluding discrete tax items, but may fluctuate during the year due to changes in our jurisdictional income and due to the timing of other discrete period transactions.
Net income
As a result of the foregoing items, net income decreased to $0.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016, as compared to net income of $1.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2015. Net income (loss) per diluted share decreased to $0.05 per ordinary share for the three months ended March 31, 2016, as compared to $0.07 per ordinary share in the prior year comparable period primarily as a result of decreased profitability reflecting lower revenues and higher income tax expense which was partially offset by lower cost of revenues, lower operating expenses and a reduction in the number of diluted shares outstanding reflecting the impact of our share-buy-back program.
BUSINESS TRENDS
Revenues in our consumer segment continued to gradually decline during the three months ended March 31, 2016. We remain encouraged by the loyalty of our existing customer base and we continue to undertake efforts to improve our customer renewal rates and limit customer churn. We are also maintaining our efforts to expand device sales to new markets, and with the launch of magicJack Connect to both iOS and Android customers, we are increasing our efforts to reposition the device with its companion app service. We believe that there will continue to be solid consumer demand for our low priced, unlimited phone service, whether through our magicJack device, our magicAPP, or a combination of both, in the United States and international markets.
In May 2016, we launched the magicJack Connect app for iOS and Android. The magicJack Connect app offers users free worldwide Wi-Fi app-to-app calling & messaging. The app also offers an unlimited U.S. calling plan which allows subscribers to call the U.S. from anywhere in the world plus receive a U.S. phone number for only $9.99 per year. With in-app purchase capability, other offers available on the magicJack Connect app include international calling plans for select countries, the ability to purchase local phone numbers from over 50 countries, and the ability to purchase international calling credits for consumers that prefer pay-as-you go options. We are focused on driving sales growth through monetizing magicJack Connect. The magicJack Connect competes with other large, well-capitalized global companies in the telecom APP industry who are introducing low priced consumer offers into the marketplace on an ongoing basis. We cannot assure that the features we are offering for monetization of the magicAPP will be attractive to consumers at the price points we are offering, or at all.
Furthermore, though progress on the launch of our relationship with Telefonica has been slower than anticipated, in February 2016 our continuing efforts resulted in the test launch of a new Mexico-based service offering named “Call U.S.”. The new service is being offered through Movistar, Telefonica’s mobile operator in Mexico, and is being made available to Movistar’s customers throughout Mexico, enabling them to purchase a U.S. phone number through which they can receive unlimited inbound calls from friends, relative or business contacts based in the United States. The service is integrated with Telefonica’s existing Movistar systems allowing customers to pay through the same channels that they currently use to pay for their core Movistar wireless service.
In addition to the Mexico-based service offering with Movistar, we also launched our new SMB subsidiary in the fourth quarter of 2015. We began making investments in the new SMB business during the first quarter of 2016. In total, we plan to invest approximately $10 million to $12 million dollars in this new initiative during fiscal year 2016. We expect that this business line will leverage our core assets and give us the ability to sell these services at disruptive pricing to small business customers. While we are not forecasting significant revenue from our SMB business in 2016, we believe that in the long term, if we successfully execute on this growth initiative, it has the potential to generate significant shareholder value.
Furthermore, on March 17, 2016, we completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Broadsmart. In connection with the acquisition, we formed a new subsidiary, Broadsmart Global, Inc. Broadsmart has a track record of designing, provisioning and delivering complex Unified Communication as a Service (UCaaS) solutions to blue chip corporate customers on a nationwide basis. It has expertise in servicing enterprises with hundreds-to-thousands of locations. The business has been highly profitable, having generated approximately $13 million in revenues and $4.6 million of EBITDA in 2015, with an EBITDA margin of over 35%, on an unaudited basis. For 2016, the Broadsmart business is forecasting over 20% year-over-year growth in sales.
The two founders of Broadsmart have remained with the business as CEO and President, respectively, of Broadsmart Global, Inc. With the acquisition of Broadsmart we will be diversifying beyond our core business into UCaaS targeting high end SMB and enterprise customers. Broadsmart has demonstrated that they know how to sell and service large enterprise customers with complex needs at thousands of locations in multiple geographies. We intend to fully support them in maximizing their promising pipeline for new business and look forward to exploring opportunities for Broadsmart to realize synergies by leveraging magicJack’s proprietary low cost infrastructure.
With the acquisition of Broadsmart, the investment in the magicJack SMB business and the continued efforts in improving and promoting the magicJack Connect, we have taken significant steps to diversifying our business from the consumer segment and into the SMB and UCaaS space, with magicJack SMB targeting smaller businesses and Broadsmart serving medium to enterprises.
While we are pleased with the launch of the organic initiatives described above and the acquisition of Broadsmart, there can be no assurance that these initiatives will be successful and we cannot predict what impact, if any, these initiatives will ultimately have on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash generated from operations, cash on hand and investments. As of March 31, 2016, we had cash and cash equivalents of $45.5 million, investments of $0.4 million and accounts receivables of $2.6 million. Our accounts payable at March 31, 2016 was $3.7 million.
During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we generated positive operating cash flows of $6.9 million, as compared to $7.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The $0.6 million decrease was primarily due to lower sales in the core magicJack business during the three months ended March 31, 2016, and higher general and administrative expenses, primarily reflecting transaction related costs for the Broadsmart acquisition which were partially offset by lower cost of revenues and marketing expenditures. Net income was $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 as compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. We currently believe that available funds and cash flows generated by operations will be sufficient to fund our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months. If we decide to make future acquisitions, we may require new sources of funding, including debt, equity financing or some combination thereof. There can be no assurances that we will be able to secure additional sources of funding or that such additional sources of funding will be available to us on acceptable terms.
Cash Flow – Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $6.9 million and $7.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
During the three months ended March 31, 2016, net cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to: (i) $0.7 million of net income, (ii) $4.0 million in non-cash items consisting primarily of $1.0 million of stock-based compensation expense, $0.8 million of depreciation and amortization expense, a $1.0 million increase in the deferred income tax provision, and a $1.2 million increase in uncertain tax positions, (iii) a $0.9 million decrease in accounts receivable, (iv) a $0.8 million decrease in inventory levels, (v) a $0.2 million decrease in deferred costs, (vi) a $1.2 million decrease in prepaid income taxes, (vii) a $0.2 million decrease in deposits and other current assets and (viii) a $2.6 million increase in accounts payable. These items were partially offset by: (i) a $1.9 million decrease in deferred revenue, (ii) a $1.7 million decrease in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and (iii) a $0.1 million decrease in other non-current liabilities.
During the three months ended March 31, 2015, net cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to: (i) $1.3 million of net income, (ii) $3.0 million in non-cash items consisting primarily of $1.3 million of stock-based compensation expense, $1.0 million of depreciation and amortization expense, and $0.6 million increase in deferred income tax provision, (iii) a $0.3 million decrease in deferred costs, (iv) a $1.0 million decrease in accounts receivable, (v) a $1.7 million increase in deferred revenue, (vi) a $1.4 million increase in other non-current liabilities, and (vii) a $1.1 million increase in income taxes payable. These items were partially offset by: (i) a $1.2 million increase in inventory levels (ii) a $0.6 million decrease in accrued expenses, and (iii) a $0.3 million decrease in accounts payable.
Cash Flow – Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $40.0 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, and 2015, respectively.
Net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2016 was primarily attributable to the acquisition of Broadsmart.
Net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2015 was primarily attributable to $0.5 million used to purchase equipment and leasehold improvements primarily due to upgrades to our data storage facility.
Cash Flow –Financing Activities
No significant cash was (used in) or provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Other Liabilities
As of March 31, 2016, we no longer have an outstanding indebtedness in connection with an agreement entered into during June 2011 for the purchase of certain intangible assets, and secured only by such intangible assets. The Company made a final non-interest bearing annual payment of $1.5 million in May 2015. Refer to Note 8, “Other Liabilities,” in the Notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 for further details.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We had no off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2016.
ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to financial market risks that are inherent in our financial statements, including changes in interest rates, equity and derivative prices and foreign currency exchange rates that could adversely affect our results of operations or financial condition.
Exposure to Interest Rates
The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve our capital until it is required to fund operations while at the same time maximizing the income we receive from our investments without incurring investment market volatility risk. Our investment income is sensitive to the general level of United States interest rates. In this regard, changes in the United States interest rates affect the interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents. Due to the short-term nature of our cash and cash equivalent holdings, a 10% movement in market interest rates would not materially impact the total fair value of our portfolio as of March 31, 2016.
Exposure to Exchange Rates
Our overseas expenses are incurred primarily in connection with the manufacturing of the magicJack devices and expenses related to our operations in Israel. The majority of our overseas expenses are influenced by exchange rate fluctuations in local currencies, including NIS, Hong Kong dollars, Taiwan dollars and Chinese yuan. Due to the small percentage of our expenses that are influenced by exchange rate fluctuations, a 10% movement in currency exchange rates would not materially impact our results of operations.
Exposure to Equity and Derivative Prices
Market prices for equity securities are subject to fluctuation and consequently the amount realized in the subsequent sale of an investment may significantly differ from the reported market value. Fluctuation in the market price of a security may result from perceived changes in the underlying economic characteristics of the investee, the relative price of alternative investments and general market conditions.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended March 31, 2016, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings
Legal Proceedings
We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims, including intellectual property claims, contractual and commercial disputes, employment claims, state and local tax matters and other matters which arise in the ordinary course of business. Our policy is to vigorously defend any legal proceedings. Management regularly evaluates the status of legal proceedings in which we are involved in order to assess whether a loss is probable or there is a reasonable possibility that a loss or additional loss may have been incurred and to determine if accruals are appropriate. While the outcome of these claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe that the outcome of any of these legal matters will have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition or cash flows. However, an unexpected adverse resolution of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in a particular fiscal year or quarter. For additional information, refer to Note 9, “Commitments and Contingencies,” in the Notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 herein for further details.
ITEM 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in Part 1, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.
ITEM 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
During the first quarter of 2015, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program to enable us to purchase our ordinary shares from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions as management deems appropriate up to a maximum cumulative repurchase authority of $20.0 million. The primary objective of our stock repurchase program was to improve stockholders’ returns. We expended the full $20.0 million under our repurchase program during the year-ended December 31, 2015 and as a result no further purchases are authorized pursuant to the stock repurchase program. All shares purchased and not yet retired, are recorded as treasury stock. We repurchased 2,329,003 ordinary shares under this program through December 31, 2015. There were no purchases under the share repurchase program during the three months ended March 31, 2016 or 2015.
