D. Risk Factors.

We operate globally in a dynamic and rapidly changing environment that involves numerous risks and uncertainties. The following section lists some, but not all, of those risks and uncertainties that may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Risks Relating to Our Business, Our Industry and our Financing Activities

We may be unable to achieve long-term profitability

After consistently incurring net losses for 10 years, we recorded net income of $4.2 million in 2009 and net income of $6.2 in 2010. Nevertheless, we cannot predict whether we will remain profitable on a sustained basis. Although we have experienced an increase in orders from our customers, we have no assurance that our revenues in the short to medium term will continue to increase, if at all, and they may decrease, particularly if customer orders decline. At the same time, expenses may increase in the foreseeable future as we increase our research and development and sales and marketing activities. Our research and development, sales and marketing efforts may prove more costly than we currently anticipate, and we may not succeed in the long term in increasing our revenues sufficiently to offset the expenses of those efforts. We may be required to continue to increase our revenues in the future in order to achieve and maintain our profitability. If we fail to do so and our revenues fail to increase at a greater rate than our expenses, we may incur future losses and may be unable to achieve long-term profitability.

Implementing our strategy of focusing on the market for software solutions in the insurance industry has taken longer than anticipated, and we may not succeed in gaining acceptance in that market.

Our goal is to become a global leader in delivering strategic business software solutions to the insurance industry. Achieving this goal requires us, among other things, to design appropriate software solutions, maintain sufficient sales and marketing resources, recruit, train and hire professional services personnel. We also have faced and will continue to face intense competition in the insurance industry. We have experienced slower than expected penetration of the insurance industry and our market penetration may continue to be slow as we seek to achieve our goal. Our future efforts to gain acceptance for our solutions may still not succeed, which could have a material adverse affect on our results.

Our working capital may decrease and we may need to raise additional capital.

At December 31, 2010, we had positive working capital of $4.9 million. Despite our positive cash flow from operations generated in 2010, 2009 and 2008 and our overall positive cash flow in 2010, there can be no assurance that we will not need to raise additional capital in the future. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional financing, or if we do, that it will be on favorable terms. If we issue capital stock to investors in order to raise cash, our existing shareholders will experience dilution. If we obtain debt financing, a substantial portion of our operating cash flow may be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on such indebtedness, and the terms of the debt securities issued could impose significant restrictions on our operations.

The software solutions market that we address is expected to continue to evolve, and if we are not able to accurately predict and rapidly respond to market developments or customer needs, our competitive position will be impaired.

The market for our solutions is characterized by changing business conditions and customer requirements. Nevertheless, estimates of the market's expected growth resulting from the changing conditions and requirements are inherently uncertain and are subject to many risks and assumptions. We may need to develop and introduce additional software and enhancements to our existing solutions to satisfy our current customers and maintain our competitive position in the marketplace. We may also need to modify our software so that it can operate with new or enhanced software that may be introduced by other software vendors. The failure to anticipate changes in technology and customer requirements and successfully develop, enhance or modify our software solutions, or the failure to do so on a timely basis, could limit our revenue growth and competitive position.

We have experienced in the past, and anticipate experiencing in the future, delays in the timing of the introduction of new solutions and market acceptance of those solutions. Furthermore, substantial expenditures are required for research and development and the introduction of new, enhanced or modified products. There can be no assurance that we will have sufficient resources to make such investments or that these investments will bring the full advantages or any advantage as planned. To support our software development, enhancement or modification, we may also find it necessary to license or acquire new technologies, which may not be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all. In addition, there can be no assurance that we will not encounter technical or other difficulties that could delay introduction of new technologies or enhancements in the future.

If existing customers do not make subsequent purchases from us and continue using our services or if our relationships with our largest customers are impaired, our revenue could be negatively affected

Our existing customers are a key asset, and we depend on repeat product and service revenues from our base of customers. Our relationships with three large customers of our North American subsidiaries – Texas Farm Bureau Insurance Companies, Occidental Fire & Casualty and Philadelphia Insurance Company ("Philadelphia"); a large customer of our subsidiary in the United Kingdom – Liverpool Victoria Friendly Services ("Liverpool Victoria"); one large customer of our subsidiary in Japan and one large customer of our subsidiary in Israel – Menora Mivtachim Insurance Ltd. (“Menora”), are the sources of a large portion of the revenues of those respective subsidiaries. During 2010, revenues from North American customers specified above constituted 54% of the total revenues of our North American subsidiaries ( 9% of our consolidated revenues); revenues from British customer specified above constituted 28% of the total revenues of our U.K. subsidiary ( 6% of our consolidated revenues); revenues from our Japanese customer specified above constituted 74.5% of the total revenues of our Japanese subsidiary (16% of our consolidated revenues); and revenues from the Israeli customer specified above constituted 69% of the total revenues of our Israeli subsidiary (26% of our consolidated revenues). There can be no assurance that our existing customers will enter into new project contracts with us or that they will continue using our technologies. A significant decline in our revenue stream from existing customers would have a material adverse effect on our operating results. In recent years, during the worldwide financial and economic crisis, we saw a delay and reduction in investments by our customers in the solutions that we offer. If this trend recurs, it could negatively impact our financial results

We compete against companies with significantly greater resources than our own.

The market for software solutions and related services and for business solutions for the insurance industry in particular, is highly competitive. Our principal competitors generally have significantly greater resources than we do. Some of our competitors have been focusing on the insurance market for more than a decade and have already established a broad client base, especially in North America. Our customers or potential customers could prefer suppliers that are larger than us, and are better known in the market. In addition, some customers of information technology solutions are reluctant to purchase solutions that are not off-the-shelf or widely used by a broad customer base. Since our Sapiens eMerge™ solution and our Sapiens INSIGHT™ suite of solutions are proprietary to us and require special knowledge and training, potential customers may be reluctant to purchase our proprietary solutions and may opt for those of our competitors. Price reductions or declines in demand for our solutions and services, whether as a result of competition, technological change, economic downturn, changes in the level of application development, reengineering or maintenance performed internally by our customers or potential customers could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Our business involves long-term, large projects, some of which are fixed-price projects that involve uncertainties, such as estimated project costs and profit margins.

Our business is characterized by relatively large projects or engagements that can have a significant impact on our total revenue and cost of revenue from quarter to quarter. A high percentage of our expenses, particularly employee compensation, is relatively fixed. Therefore, a variation in the timing of the initiation, progress or completion of projects or engagements, especially at or near the end of any quarter, can cause significant variations in operating results from quarter to quarter. Some of our solutions are sold as fixed-price projects with delivery requirements spanning more than one year. If our actual cost-to-completion of these projects differs significantly from the estimated costs, we could experience a loss on the related contracts, which would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position and cash flow. Similarly, delays in executing client contracts may affect our revenue and cause our operating results to vary widely. Our solutions are delivered over periods of time ranging from several months to a few years. Payment terms are generally based on periodic payments or on the achievement of milestones. Any delays in payment or in the achievement of milestones may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows. The sales cycle for our solutions is long and variable, typically ranging between nine months to eighteen months from initial contact with the potential client to the signing of a contract. Occasionally, sales require substantially more time. This variability may adversely affect our operating results in any particular quarter.

Defects in our technology would harm our business and divert resources

The quality of our products, enhancements and new versions is critical to our success. Since our software solutions are complex, they may contain errors that can be detected at any point in their life cycle. Any errors or defects in our technology could result in:

delayed or lost revenue;

failure to attract new customers or achieve market acceptance;

claims against us;

diversion of development resources;

increased service, warranty and insurance costs; and

negative publicity resulting in damage to our reputation.

While we continually test our products for errors or defects and work with customers to identify and correct them, errors in our technology may be found in the future. Testing for errors or defects is complicated because it is difficult to simulate the breadth of operating systems, user applications and computing environments that our customers use and our software itself is becoming increasingly very complex. The costs we may incur in addressing technology errors or defects could be substantial and could impair our results of operations.

Our business involves business-critical solutions which expose us to potential liability claims.

Our products focus on organizations’ business-critical applications, including those related to core business solutions for the insurance industry. We also provide re-engineering and re-development services for customers’ specialized needs. Since our customers rely on our software to operate, monitor and improve the performance of their critical software applications, they are sensitive to potential disruptions that may be caused by the use of, or any defects in, our software. As a result, we may be subject to claims for damages related to software errors in the future. Liability claims could require us to spend significant time and money in litigation or to pay significant damages. Regardless of whether we prevail, diversion of key employees’ time and attention from our business, incurrence of substantial expenses and potential damage to our reputation might result. While the terms of our sales contracts typically limit our exposure to potential liability claims and we carry errors and omissions insurance against such claims, there can be no assurance that such insurance will continue to be available on acceptable terms, if at all, or that such insurance will provide us with adequate protection against any such claims. A significant liability claim against us could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial position.

Although we apply measures to protect our intellectual property rights, there can be no assurance that the measures that we employ to do so will be successful.

In accordance with industry practice, since we have no registered patents, we rely on a combination of contractual provisions and intellectual property law to protect our proprietary technology. We believe that due to the dynamic nature of the computer and software industries, copyright protection is less significant than factors such as the knowledge and experience of our management and personnel, the frequency of product enhancements and the timeliness and quality of our support services. We seek to protect the source code of our products as trade secret information and as unpublished copyright works. We also rely on security and copy protection features in our proprietary software. We distribute our products under software license agreements that grant customers a personal, non-transferable license to use our products and contain terms and conditions prohibiting the unauthorized reproduction or transfer of our products. In addition, we attempt to protect trade secrets and other proprietary information through non-disclosure agreements with employees, consultants and distributors. Although we intend to protect our rights vigorously, there can be no assurance that these measures will be successful. Our failure to protect our rights, or the improper use of our products by others without licensing them from us, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Our Sapiens eMerge™ solution is proprietary to us and if we need to hire additional programmers, maintenance and professional services providers to use our Sapiens eMerge™ solution, we would incur training costs and delays due to training.

Our Sapiens eMerge™ solution was designed by us and its use requires special knowledge and training. If our current employees leave the Company or if a new project is undertaken by the Company and we need to hire new programmers or personnel to provide maintenance and professional services to our customers, we would have to train the new employees and consultants in Sapiens eMerge™. As a result, we would incur training costs and would have to delay implementation of projects and services until such individuals were adequately trained. In addition, once these individuals are initially trained, they would still be inexperienced with Sapiens eMerge™ and would take additional time to develop efficiency and proficiency with Sapiens eMerge™. As a result of these costs and delays, there could be a negative impact on our results of operations, our financial condition, our cash flows and our relationships with our customers.

Our future results could be adversely affected by an impairment of the value of certain intangible assets.

Our assets as of December 31, 2010 include, among other things, goodwill amounting to approximately $9.6 million, capitalized software development costs, net, amounting to approximately $13.8 million, customer relationship amounting to approximately $0.7 million, developed technology amounting to approximately $0.8 million, long-term deferred income taxes amounting to approximately $ 1.8 million, and short-term deferred income taxes amounting to approximately $ 1.7 million. The applicable accounting standards require that (a) goodwill be tested for impairment at least annually, and written down when impaired; (b) capitalized software costs be assessed for recoverability on a regular basis, to determine whether the amortization of the asset over its remaining life can be recovered through undiscounted future operating cash flows from the specific software product sold, in accordance with ASC 985 "Software"; and (c) certain identifiable intangible assets such as customer relationship, developed technology and deferred taxes be reviewed for impairment in certain circumstances. If our goodwill, capitalized software development costs, customer relationship, developed technology or deferred tax assets, were deemed to be impaired in whole or in part due to adverse changes in the income we receive from our products, we could be required to reduce or write off such assets, thus having to recognize additional expense in our statements of operations and to reduce our shareholders’ equity.

As part of our business strategy, we may make acquisitions which could negatively impact our capital structure, could disrupt our business and, if not successfully integrated into our business, harm our results of operations and financial condition.

As part of our growth strategy, we may consider acquiring complementary technologies, products and businesses. If we use capital stock in connection with such acquisitions, our existing shareholders may experience dilution. If we use cash or debt financing, our financial liquidity will be reduced, the holders of our debt would have claims on our assets ahead of holders of our Common Shares and our business operations may be restricted by the terms of any debt. An acquisition may involve nonrecurring charges or amortization of significant amounts of intangible assets, which would adversely affect our ability to achieve and maintain profitability. Attempted acquisitions may divert management, operational and financial resources from the conduct of our core business, and we may not complete any attempted acquisition.

Other risks commonly encountered with acquisitions include the effect of the acquisition on our financial and strategic position and reputation, the failure of the acquired business to further our strategies, the inability to successfully integrate or commercialize acquired technologies and achieve expected synergies or economies of scale on a timely basis, and the potential impairment of acquired assets. Further, we may not be able to retain the key employees that may be necessary to operate the business we acquire, and, we may not be able to timely attract new skilled employees and management to replace them. From time to time, we may also need to acquire complementary technologies, whether to execute our strategies or in order to comply with customer needs. There are no assurances that we will be able to acquire or successfully integrate an acquired company, business or technology, or successfully leverage such complementary technology in the market.

We may also compete with others to acquire companies, and such competition may result in decreased availability of, or increased prices for, suitable acquisition candidates. In addition, for possible commercial and economic considerations, we may not be able to consummate acquisitions that we have identified as crucial to the implementation of our strategy. We may not be able to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals, including those of competition authorities and foreign investment authorities, in countries where we seek to consummate acquisitions. For those and other reasons, we may ultimately fail to consummate an acquisition, even if we announce that we plan to acquire a company.

During the year ended December 31, 2010, we acquired Harcase Software Limited ("Harcase"). While we have began to integrate Harcase's operations, technology and employees into our business, there can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully integrate Harcase into our business and generate synergies or operational improvements from the Harcase acquisition.

The economic slowdown adversely affected, and the effects of the economic slowdown and any future economic slowdown may adversely affect, our results and financial condition .

The worldwide financial and credit market crisis which began in 2008 led to an economic slowdown worldwide. This has impacted the insurance and financial sectors in which most of our customers operate. The slowdown resulted in a reduction in demand in some or all of our major markets and downward pressure on pricing in many markets, which adversely affected our business, results of operations and financial condition in the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2009 and significant changes and volatility in the equity, credit and foreign exchange markets, and in the competitive landscape, make it increasingly difficult for us to predict our revenues and earnings into the future.

Risks Relating to Our International Operations, Particularly in Israel

Our international operations involve inherent risks, such as foreign currency fluctuations and compliance with various regulatory and tax regimes.

Most of our revenues are derived from international operations that are conducted in local currencies as well as dollars. Changes in the value of such local currencies or the dollar relative to such local currencies may affect our financial position and results of operations. Gains and losses on translations to dollars of assets and liabilities may contribute to fluctuations in our financial position and results of operations. In certain locations, we engage in currency-hedging transactions intended to reduce the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on our financial position and results of operations. However, there can be no assurance that any such hedging transaction will materially reduce the effect of fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates on such results. In addition, if for any reason exchange or price controls or other restrictions on the conversion of foreign currencies were imposed, our financial position and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Other potential risks that may impact our international business activities include longer accounts receivable payment cycles, the burdens of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws and changes in regulatory requirements, although such factors have not had a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations to date.

Unpredictable catastrophic events, including the earthquake and accompanying tsunami which struck Japan on March 11, 2011, could have a material adverse effect on our business.

The occurrence of catastrophic events such as hurricanes, tropical storms, earthquakes, tsunamis, floods and other catastrophes could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. A flood, earthquake, tsunami or other disaster, condition or event that adversely affects the business climate in any of our markets could have a material adverse effect on our business. In particular, the earthquake and accompanying tsunami that struck the north-east of Japan during March 2011 caused significant damage in the surrounding region. The disruption of the businesses of any of our customers or a negative impact on our customers' businesses resulting from these events could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We face currency exchange risks, as changes in exchange rates between the US dollar and other currencies, especially the NIS, may negatively impact our costs.

Exchange rate fluctuations between the US dollar and other currencies which we and our subsidiaries use, especially the NIS, may negatively affect our earnings. A significant portion of our expenses, including research and development, personnel and facilities-related expenses, are incurred in Israel, in NIS. On March 1, 2011, the exchange rate between the NIS and the US dollar was NIS 3.623 per 1 US dollar. Consequently, we are exposed to the risk of appreciation of the NIS in relation to the US dollar. This appreciation would cause, an increase in our expenses as recorded in our US dollar denominated financial statements even if the expenses denominated in local currencies remains unchanged. Accordingly, our level of revenues and profits may be adversely affected by exchange rate fluctuations.

The depreciation of the US dollar in relation to the NIS in 2010 was not significant, and the exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and other currencies which we and our subsidiaries use, did not cause any significant change in our foreign currency translation differences.

We cannot predict any future trends in the US dollar/ NIS exchange rate or the US dollar/GBP exchange rate. We cannot assure you that we will not be materially affected in the future by currency exchange rate fluctuations. See Item 11- "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk - Foreign Currency Risk."

Conducting business in Israel entails certain inherent risks that could harm our business.

Our corporate headquarters and research and development facilities are located in the State of Israel. Political, economic and military conditions in Israel directly affect our operations. We could be adversely affected by any major hostilities involving Israel, the interruption or curtailment of trade between Israel and its trading partners or a significant downturn in the economic or financial condition of Israel. In addition, several countries still restrict business with Israel and with companies doing business in Israel. These political, economic and military conditions in Israel could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and future growth.

Since September 2000, there has been a marked increase in violence, civil unrest and hostility, including armed clashes, between the State of Israel and the Palestinians, and acts of terror have been committed inside Israel and against Israeli targets in the West Bank and Gaza. These developments have adversely affected the regional peace process, placed the Israeli economy under significant stress, and have negatively influenced Israel’s relationship with several Arab countries. The establishment in 2006 of a government in the Palestinian Authority by representatives of the Hamas militant group resulted in an escalation in violence among Israel, the Palestinian Authority and other groups and has created additional unrest and uncertainty in the region. Further, during the summer of 2006, Israel was engaged in a war with Hezbollah, a Lebanese Islamist Shiite militia group, which involved rockets being fired from Lebanon up to 50 miles into Israel and disrupted most day-to-day civilian activity in northern Israel. In January 2009, Israel engaged in a military action against Hamas in Gaza to prevent continued rocket attacks against Israel. These developments have further strained relations between Israel and the Palestinians. Any future armed conflict, political instability or violence in the region, including acts of terrorism, may have a negative effect on our business condition, harm our results of operations and adversely affect our share price.

Some of our executive officers and employees in Israel are obligated to perform military reserve duty, currently consisting of approximately 30 days of service annually (or more for reserves officers or citizens with certain occupations). Additionally, they are subject to being called to active duty at any time upon the outbreak of hostilities. While we have operated effectively under these requirements since the establishment of Sapiens, no assessment can be made as to the full impact of such requirements on our business or work force and no prediction can be made as to the effect on us of any expansion of such obligations.

Risks Related to an Investment in our Common Shares

Our Common Shares are traded on more than one market and this may result in price variations.

Our Common Shares are traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market and the TASE. Trading in our Common Shares on these markets is in different currencies (US dollars on the NASDAQ Capital Market and NIS on the TASE), and at different times (resulting from different time zones, different trading days and different public holidays in the U.S. and Israel). The trading prices of our Common Shares on these two markets may differ due to these and other factors. Any decrease in the trading price of our Common Shares on one of these markets could cause a decrease in the trading price of our Common Shares on the other market.

There is very little trading volume for our Common Shares, which causes the stock price to be volatile and which may lead to losses by investors.

There is very little trading volume for our Common Shares, both on the NASDAQ Capital Market and the TASE. As a result, our Common Shares have experienced significant market price volatility in the past and may experience significant market price and volume fluctuations in the future, in response to factors such as announcements of developments related to our business, announcements by competitors, quarterly fluctuations in our financial results and general conditions in the industry in which we compete.

Our quarterly results may be impacted by multiple short-term factors, thereby causing variability in such results and enhanced volatility in the market price of our Common Shares.

Our revenue and operating results could vary widely from quarter to quarter as a result of several different factors, such as the budgeting and purchasing practices of our customers, the length of our customers' product evaluation process, the timing of our customers’ system conversions, the timing and cost of new product introductions and product enhancements, and the timing of any acquisitions and associated costs. Employee hiring and the rate of utilization of such employees may also affect our revenues and results of operations. Such variation in results from quarter to quarter could cause enhanced volatility in the market price of our Common Shares.

Formula Systems (1985) Ltd. and its parent company, Asseco, may exercise control and influence corporate actions in a manner that potentially conflicts with our other public shareholders and our election of “controlled company” status as a basis for exempting ourselves from certain NASDAQ corporate governance requirements may remove certain potential checks on such shareholders’ control of our company.

Formula Systems (1985) Ltd. (“Formula”), whose ADRs trade on NASDAQ (under the trading symbol: FORTY) and whose shares trade on the TASE (under the trading symbol: FORT), directly owned (as of December 31, 2010) 15,801,723, or approximately 72%, of our currently outstanding Common Shares.

In November 2010, Asseco Poland SA, (Warsaw Stock Exchange: ACP) ("Asseco"), purchased 51.7% of Formula's outstanding share capital from Emblaze Ltd ("Emblaze"). As a result, Asseco has a controlling influence over us.

Asseco, through Formula, is and may continue to be in a position to exercise control over most matters requiring shareholder approval. Formula may use its share ownership or representation on our Board of Directors to substantially influence corporate actions that conflict with the interests of our other public shareholders including, without limitation, changing the size and composition of our Board of Directors and committees of our Board of Directors, causing the issuance of further securities, amending our governing documents or otherwise controlling the outcome of shareholder votes. Furthermore, our exemption from certain NASDAQ corporate governance requirements as a “controlled company” of which greater than 50% of the voting power is held by a group (i.e., Asseco and Formula) and the determination to opt out of these NASDAQ corporate governance requirements as permitted for a foreign private issuer, may have the effect of removing potential checks on Asseco’s and Formula’s control over our company. As a result of such election, we are not required to comply with the following NASDAQ Listing Rule requirements: maintenance of a majority of independent directors on our board of directors; selection of director nominees by a wholly independent nominating committee of the board or a majority of our independent directors; adoption of a written charter or board resolution addressing the director nominations process; determination of our executive officers’ compensation by an independent compensation committee or a majority of our independent directors; and shareholder approval for certain matters. Our exemption from these requirements could strengthen Asseco’s and Formula’s control over our board of directors and management. See Item 6.C below “Board Practices— NASDAQ Exemptions for a Controlled Company” and “Board Practices— NASDAQ Opt-Out for a Foreign Private Issuer”.

Furthermore, actions by Formula with respect to the disposition of the Common Shares it beneficially owns, or the perception that such actions may occur, may adversely affect the trading price of our Common Shares.

If we are classified as a passive foreign investment company, our U.S. shareholders may suffer adverse tax consequences.

Generally, if for any taxable year, after applying certain look-through rules, 75% or more of our gross income is passive income, or at least 50% of the value of our assets are held for the production of, or produce, passive income, we may be characterized as a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Passive income for this purpose generally includes, among other things, certain dividends, interest, royalties, rental and gains from commodities and securities transactions and from the sale or exchange of property that gives rise to passive income. This characterization could result in adverse U.S. tax consequences to our shareholders who are U.S. taxpayers, including having gain realized on the sale of our Common Shares being treated as ordinary income rather than capital gain income, and could result in punitive interest charges being applied to such sales proceeds. Rules similar to those applicable to dispositions apply to amounts treated as “excess distributions.”

We believe we were not a PFIC in 2010 just as we believe we were not a PFIC for at least the past 5 years. We currently expect that we will not be a PFIC in 2011. However, PFIC status is determined as of the end of the taxable year and is dependent on a number of factors. Therefore, there can be no assurance that we will not become a PFIC for the year ending December 31, 2011 or in a future taxable year. U.S. shareholders should consult with their own U.S. tax advisors with respect to the U.S. tax consequences of investing in our Common Shares. For a discussion of how we might be characterized as a PFIC and related tax consequences, please see Item 10.E, “Additional Information – Taxation - U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations - Tax Consequences if We Are a Passive Foreign Investment Company

Industry Background

The global insurance industry is highly competitive, constantly facing new regulations, growing number of sales channels and demanding customers. The time to market and the flexibility of new insurance products become key differentiators for the insurance carriers, but other, more traditional factors for success – such as reduced risk, customer service and cost saving are still key factors.

While insurance companies’ current systems may not be appropriate for current challenges and may be outdated, they are still key part of an organization because of the vast investment of business know-how and rules, as well as the amounts of information they contain.

Our Business Solutions for the Insurance Industry

We have focused our resources on delivering solutions to help the insurance industry become more agile in the face of the new and rapidly changing business environment, while simultaneously reducing IT costs.

By creating cross-functional teams and working with leading insurance companies, we have formulated Sapiens' suite of business software solutions that helps insurance carriers adapt to the dynamic insurance marketplace. In addition, we execute independent projects for the insurance market, providing enhanced functionality to existing legacy systems.

For each of our target markets for our insurance solutions, North America, Europe, Israel and Japan, we invested in matching our solutions to the specific market needs, focusing on market standards and regulations. These solutions can be further customized to match specific legacy systems and business requirements, while providing pre-configured functionality.

Our Services

IT Services . We offer services for the delivery of our solutions, leveraging our experienced insurance experts and IT team. We provide customers with specialized IT services in many areas, including project management, application development/enhancements, application platform porting services and general technical assistance. Our personnel work with the customer for the duration of the entire project on a fixed price or time and materials basis. These IT services can be classified as: (1) consulting services that are not deemed essential to the functionality of the license (such as migration of applications to various platforms and technical assistance with project management), and (2) consulting services that involve implementation, modification and modernization of our software to customer specific requirements.

Outsourcing of Application Maintenance . Our outsourcing services performed on our customers' applications are based on our strong, long-term relationships with our customers. We are currently servicing multi-year outsourcing contracts involving mission-critical systems. The outsourcing engagements are typically performed with a combination of onsite and offsite personnel as required by our customers.

Key Benefits of our Solutions to our Customers

Our insurance solutions offer a broad range of advantages to the operational environment of our customers' organizations, such as:

the ability to rapidly deploy new insurance products to create a clear competitive advantage in the P&C market;

Strong Technical Competence . Our solutions enable organizations to capitalize on their existing large-scale applications and data by non-intrusively integrating them with modern applications and technologies. Our solutions not only extend the productive life of older computer systems but simultaneously provide a migration path to next-generation technologies. Our solutions are designed for an extensive list of computing platforms and technologies including IBM zSeries and iSeries, HP-Unix at the host server-side and Windows 2000 / XP Web Servers. Due to the separation between business logic, data access logic and presentation logic, applications developed for a particular computing platform and database are seamlessly portable to other supported computing platforms and databases. The platform-independent nature of our solutions allows them to be scaled according to the needs of the organization. Sapiens eMerge™ has proven to be extremely scalable, allowing the daily execution of hundreds of millions of business rules for tens of thousands of concurrent users.

Our Target Markets

The principal markets in which we operate are North America, Europe, Israel and Japan. As of December 31, 2010, we had approximately 127 customers worldwide. Of these, our primary customers were Menora Mivtachim Insurance, Texas Farm Bureau Insurance Companies, Liverpool Victoria Friendly Society Limited, Occidental Fire and Casualty Company of North Carolina, Philadelphia Insurance Company and a large customer in Japan which accounted in the aggregate for approximately 58% of our gross revenues during 2010.

Geographical Distribution of Revenues

The following is a breakdown of our revenues by geographical areas based on our geographic markets, both in thousands of dollars and as a percentage of total revenues for the years indicated:

	2008				2009				2010

United Kingdom		11,612	27	%		12,323	27	%		11,995	23	%

Competition

The market for enterprise software solutions is highly competitive and characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards and customer requirements, and frequent innovations. The following is a breakdown of the competition that we face in each of our primary markets:

Insurance

Our competitors in the market for insurance solutions differ based on the size and line of business in which we operate. Some of our competitors will offer a full suite, others only just one module, and their delivery model will vary – in house, IT Outsourcing (ITO) or Business Process Outsourcing (BPO).

Examples of these competitors are:

In North America

GuideWire, Duck Creek, Exigen, CSC, Camilion, ISI, SunGard, Accenture, OneShield, Insurity, IDP, The Innovation Group

In EMEA:

GuideWire, Duck Creek, SunGard, RDT, IDIT

In Israel

FIS, Comtech

In addition, we face competition from internal IT departments, who often prefer to develop solutions in-house.

We differentiate ourselves from our competition via a few key factors:

(i)

RapidSure is an innovative and modern solution, rich in functionality and advanced intuitive user interface, using model driven architecture that allows rapid deployment of the system while reducing the total cost of ownership.

(ii)

Our architecture allows customers to implement the full solution or parts of it, and readily integrate it into existing “legacy” systems.

(iii)

Sapiens delivery methodology and team is built around years of insurance industry experience and cooperation with the largest insurance corporations in the world.

Sapiens eMerge™ Technology

Our eMerge technology offers our clients flexibility to develop tailor-made solutions to meet their business challenges.

There has been an infusion of new vendors and new features into the business rules engine and management marketplace. Our competitors in the business rules engines and management marketplace include, among others, Fair Isaac (Blaze), Pegasystems, iLOG, Computer Associates, Haley, Corticon, Versata, RuleBurst and ESI. We differentiate ourselves from our competition via a few key factors:

(i)

We are able, utilizing our eMerge technology, to deliver a comprehensive IT solution, including an automatically generated Web presentation layer and interfaces with various databases, legacy systems and third party software. Most competing business rules engines are characterized by delivery of specialized, decision support capabilities that must be later framed into an enterprise’s overall architecture at additional investment costs.

(ii)

eMerge is highly optimized for performance of data-intensive tasks that characterize many enterprises’ transactional environments.

(iii)

By leveraging our differentiating characteristics mentioned above, we compete in the much larger IT solution delivery market, carving out for ourselves a niche attractive to mid-size enterprises seeking rapid and cost-effective custom software solutions.

Sales and Marketing

To reach the broadest potential customer base, we use multiple distribution channels, including a direct sales force and relationships with system integrators and, in certain geographic areas, distributors.

In 2010, we have expanded our investment in Sales and Marketing, by recruiting a new and experienced team for our operations in North America, EMEA and headquarters.

Our sales team is located at our offices in North America, the United Kingdom, Israel and Japan. The direct sales force focuses on large organizations within the insurance industry.

We are also focused on strengthening our existing partnerships with IBM, Microsoft, HP and others. These partnerships are key for both market recognition and market reach, leveraging their global presence to create additional business opportunities for us. Simultaneously, we invest in exploring new partnerships with leading players in the insurance market.

Customer Maintenance and Support

We believe that a high level of post-contract customer support is important to the successful marketing and sale of our solutions. We have account managers who are focused on building ongoing relationships with existing customers to maintain high level of customer satisfaction and identify up-selling opportunities within these organizations. In addition, we employ a team of technical specialists who provide a full range of maintenance and support services to our customers. The typical direct sale to a client includes initial maintenance, training and consulting services. In addition, substantially all of our clients for which we have developed applications elect to enter into an ongoing maintenance and support contract with us. The term of such a contract is usually twelve months. A maintenance contract entitles the customer to technology upgrades, when made generally available, and technical support. In addition, we offer introductory and advanced classes and training programs available at our offices and at customer sites.

We also work with a limited few distributors and system integrators who provide customers with training, product support and consulting services. Each of our software distributors is capable of providing training in its respective country.

Seasonality

Even if not reflected in our 2009 or 2010 results, traditionally, the first and third quarters of the fiscal year have tended to be slower quarters for us and the industries that we target. The first quarter usually reflects a lull following an active fourth quarter as companies rush to complete deals and utilize budgets before the end of the fiscal year. The slowdown in the third quarter reflects the summer months, which usually have reduced activities in many of the regions where our customers are located.

Intellectual Property

We rely on a combination of contractual provisions and intellectual property law to protect our proprietary technology. We believe that due to the dynamic nature of the computer and software industries, copyright protection is less significant than factors such as the knowledge and experience of our management and personnel, the frequency of product enhancements and the timeliness and quality of our support services. We seek to protect the source code of our products as trade secret information and as an unpublished copyright work. We also rely on security and copy protection features in our proprietary software. We distribute our products under software license agreements which grant customers a personal, non-transferable license to use our products and contain terms and conditions prohibiting the unauthorized reproduction or transfer of our products. In addition, we attempt to protect trade secrets and other proprietary information through agreements with employees, consultants and distributors. We do not believe that patent laws are a significant source of protection for our products and we do not hold any patents.

Our trademark rights include rights associated with our use of our trademarks, and rights obtained by registration of our trademarks. Our use and registration of our trademarks do not ensure that we have superior rights to others that may have registered or used identical or related marks on related goods or services. We have registrations for the mark “Sapiens” in the United States, Israel, Brazil and a number of countries in Europe. The initial terms of protection for our registered trademarks range from 10 to 20 years and are renewable thereafter. As part of the Harcase acquisition, we acquired the RapidSure™ trademark.

Our Sapiens INSIGHT group of solutions includes our proprietary technology as well as technology licensed by customers (such as Liverpool Victoria, OneBeacon Insurance Company, Allianz Suisse and Menora).

Regulatory Impact

The global insurance industry is heavily subject to government regulation, and is constantly changing as a result of regulatory changes. Insurance companies must comply with regulations such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in the United States, Solvency II in Europe and other directives regarding transparency. In addition, many individual countries have increased supervision over local insurance companies.

In Europe, regulators and insurers have been very active and creative, motivated by past financial crises and the need for pension restructuring. Distribution of policies is being optimized with the increasing use of Bank Assurance (selling of insurance through a bank’s established distribution channels), supermarkets and kiosks (insurance stands). Such increased activity would generally tend to have a positive impact on the demand for our software solutions and services; nevertheless, insurers are cautiously approaching spending increases, and while many companies have not taken proactive steps to replace their software solutions in the past two years, many of them are now looking for innovative, modern replacements to meet the regulatory changes and the demanding market trends.

For further information, please see Item 5.D below, "Trend Information."

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

The following discussion and analysis by our management of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere herein.

Overview

We are a global provider of software solutions focusing on the insurance industry. Our suite of insurance solutions built to meet the core business needs of large and small insurance carriers, aligns IT with business demands for speed, flexibility and efficiency. Our solutions are supplemented by our methodology and consulting services, which address the complex issues related to the life-cycle of enterprise business applications.

We derive our revenues principally from the sale of products and from the provision of consulting and other services in the Life & Pension (L&P), Property & Casualty (P&C), reinsurance and closed block insurance spheres, in each case based largely upon the Sapiens eMerge™ architecture, as well as eMerge™ applications. Revenues from services include mainly consulting on a time and materials basis, maintenance and support. See “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” below for a discussion of how we account for our revenues and their associated costs.

The demand for our products and services is influenced by a number of industry-wide factors and trends, which present us with challenges, the most important of which are the following:

(i)

The insurance industry is conservative and traditional culturally, and is characterized by reluctance to update operational systems, which creates an entry barrier for our modernizing solutions;

(ii)

When insurance providers determine to proceed with modernizing changes, the sales cycle for our solutions is nevertheless long; and

(iii)

Even after we succeed in selling our products to insurance companies, given the high complexity of the systems being updated or replaced, the installation and implementation of such products is difficult and requires the allocation of significant resources by us.

Despite these risks and challenges facing us, we believe that the insurance market is changing, and the factors that contribute to the delays that we experience in penetration of that market are gradually diminishing. Recent years have evidenced a decline in our product revenues, with an accompanying growth in our services revenues. Under current circumstances, we expect that additional time will be required to fully implement our strategy of focusing on the insurance industry. We are addressing the challenges posed by the market environment by focusing our sales and marketing efforts and by further reducing the expenses of our operations, in order to best achieve profitable operating results.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and result of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of our financial statements required us to make estimations and judgments, in accordance with U.S. GAAP, that affect the reporting amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, bad debts, goodwill and other intangible assets, foreign currency fluctuation, capitalized software development costs, deferred taxes, income taxes, restructurings and legal contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgments about the values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. More detailed descriptions of these policies are provided in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the following critical accounting policies affect the estimates and judgments that we made in preparing our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

We derive our revenues primarily from two sources: product revenues and service revenues. Product revenues include software license sales and may also include implementation and customization services with respect to such software license sales. Service revenues mainly include consulting services that are not deemed essential to the functionality of the license, outsourcing IT services, training, support and maintenance.

Revenue related to sales of our products is generally recognized when persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, the product has been delivered and title and risk of loss have passed to the buyer, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable.

We recognize revenue from support and maintenance agreements ratably over the term of the agreement, which is typically one year. We recognize revenues from training arrangements as the services are performed.

For arrangements with multiple elements, we allocate revenue to each component of the arrangement using the residual value method based on vendor specific objective evidence ("VSOE") of the undelivered elements. This means that we defer the arrangement fee equivalent to the fair value of the undelivered elements until these elements are delivered. When vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value for undelivered elements does not exist, revenues from the entire arrangement are recognized over the term of the agreement.

Our policy for the establishment of VSOE of fair value of support and maintenance is through the performance of a VSOE compliance test which is an analysis of actual PCS renewals (the population used in the VSOE compliance test is only actual renewals of maintenance).

We generally do not grant a right of return to our customers. When we do grant a right of return, we defer the recognition of revenue until the right of return expires, provided that all other revenue recognition criteria are met.

Revenues from license fees that involve implementation and customization of our software to customer specific requirements are generated from fixed-price or time-and-materials contracts. Such revenues generated from fixed price contracts are recognized using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting based on the ratio of costs related to contract performance incurred to date to the total estimated amount of such costs. Revenue and related cost for these projects are recognized on percentage of completion, using the input measure to assess the percent completed when enforceable right to services performed between milestones during the project exists, with revisions to estimates reflected in the period in which changes become known. If we do not accurately estimate the resources required or the scope of work to be performed, or do not manage the project properly within the projected periods of time or satisfy our obligations under the contract, project margins may be significantly and negatively affected, which may result in losses on existing contracts. Any such resulting reductions in margins or contract losses in a large, fixed-price contract may have a material adverse impact on our results of operations . Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are first determined, in the amount of the estimated loss on the entire contact.

Revenues from consulting services that are not deemed essential to the functionality of the license provided on a "time and materials" or "fixed-fee" basis are recognized as services are performed.

Revenues from IT outsourcing services that mainly include maintenance of customers' applications integrated on our license performed on a fixed fee basis are recognized on a straight line basis over the contractual period that the services are rendered, since no other pattern of outputs is discernible. Revenues from IT outsourcing services that are performed on a "time and materials" basis are recognized as services are performed.

Bad Debt

We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of our customers was to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required.

Goodwill, long lived assets and other identifiable intangible assets

ASC 350, “Intangibles- Goodwill and Other” requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at least annually or between annual tests in certain circumstances. Goodwill is tested for impairment by comparing the fair value of the Company with its carrying value. Fair value is determined using market capitalization.

We selected December 31st as the date on which we perform our annual indefinite life impairment tests for our goodwill and intangible assets. Through December 31, 2010, no impairment was required.

In accordance with ASC 360, "Property, Plant and Equipment" our long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. In measuring the recoverability of assets, we are required to make estimates and judgments in assessing our forecast and cash flows and compare that with the carrying amount of the assets. Additional significant estimates used by management in the methodologies used to assess the recoverability of our long-lived assets include estimates of future cash-flows, future short-term and long-term growth rates, market acceptance of products and services, and other judgmental assumptions, which are also affected by factors detailed in our Risk Factors section in this annual report (see Item 3, “Key Information – Risk Factors”). If these estimates or the related assumptions change in the future, we may be required to record impairment charges for our long-lived assets.

Share-Based Payments

We apply ASC 718 "Compensation - Stock Compensation" (Formerly SFAS No. 123R) with respect to options issued to employees. ASC 718 requires us to estimate the fair value equity-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the awards that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. The fair value of an award is affected by our stock price on the date of grant and other assumptions, including the estimated volatility of our stock price over the term of the awards and the estimated period of time that we expect employees to hold their stock options. Share-based compensation expense recognized in our consolidated statements of income was reduced for estimated forfeitures. In 2010, we changed the option-pricing model to Binomial Lattice ("Binomial model") option-pricing model. The Binomial model considers characteristics of fair value option pricing that are not available under the Black-Scholes model.

Foreign Currency Fluctuation

We expect that, in addition to the US dollar, a significant portion of our revenues will continue to be denominated in the GBP and in the NIS and a smaller portion will be denominated in the Euro and Japanese yen. As a result, changes in the exchange rates between the US dollar and the GBP, the US dollar and the NIS, and to a lesser extent the US dollar and the Euro and the US dollar and the Japanese yen, could have a material adverse impact on our revenues and results of operations within the U.K., the rest of Europe, Israel and Japan. We regularly assess our currency exchange exposures and determine whether to adjust or hedge our position. We may use derivative instruments to hedge or adjust our exposures. As a matter of policy we do not enter into transactions of a speculative or trading nature. Foreign exchange exposures are monitored by tracking actual and projected commitments and through the use of sensitivity analysis.

During 2010, we entered into hedging transactions, by purchasing put options in the total amount of $1.4 million (whereby we could exchange such amount of US dollars for GBP), to protect against the devaluation of the US dollar, in the amount of GBP 0.7 per 1 US dollar. As of December 31, 2010, these hedging transactions were settled.

During 2010, we entered into hedging transactions, by executing forward transactions in the total amount of $2.0 million (whereby we could exchange such amount of US dollars for NIS and JPY), to protect against the devaluation of the US dollar, in the amount of NIS 3.62 per Dollar, and in the amount of JPY 84.4 per US dollar. As of December 31, 2010, $1.2 million in forward transactions remained open and will be settled during 2011.

Our put option contracts and forward transactions did not qualify as hedging instruments under ASC 815 (formerly SFAS No. 133), "Derivatives and Hedging", as amended.

Capitalized Software Development Costs

Our policy on capitalized software costs determines the timing of our recognition of certain development costs. Software development costs incurred from the point of reaching technological feasibility until the time of general product release are capitalized. We generally define technological feasibility as the completion of a detailed program design. The determination of technological feasibility requires the exercise of judgment by our management. Since we sell our products in a market that is subject to rapid technological changes, new product development and changing customer needs, changes in circumstances and estimations may significantly affect the timing and the amounts of software development costs capitalized and thus our financial condition and results of operations.

Capitalized software costs are amortized by the greater of the amount computed using: (i) the ratio that current gross revenues from sales of the software bear to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues from sales of that software, or (ii) the straight-line method between three to five years, which is the estimated useful life of the software product. We assess the recoverability of this intangible asset on a regular basis by determining whether the amortization of the asset over its remaining life can be recovered through undiscounted future operating cash flows from the specific software product sold.

Deferred Taxes

Management judgment is required in determining our future taxable income for purposes of assessing our ability to realize any future benefits from our deferred tax assets. We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. If actual results differ from these estimates or we adjust these estimates in future periods, our operating results and financial position could be materially affected. If we determine that we will be able to realize the deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would increase income in the period in which such determination is made. On the other hand, should we determine that we will not be able to realize all or part of the net deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets will be charged to expenses in the period in which such determination is made.

Income Taxes

Through our operating subsidiaries, we operate within multiple tax jurisdictions and may be subject to tax audits in these jurisdictions. These tax audits can involve complex issues, which may require an extended period of time to resolve. In management’s opinion, adequate provisions for income taxes have been made for all years. However, though our income tax reserves are based on our best knowledge, we may be subject to unexpected audits by tax authorities in the various countries where we have subsidiaries, which may result in material adjustments to the reserves established in our consolidated financial statements and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Accounting for Income Taxes

The Company and its subsidiaries account for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740 “Income Taxes”. This Statement prescribes the use of the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liability account balances are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company and its subsidiaries provide a valuation allowance, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to their estimated realizable value.

ASC 740 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under ASC 740, a company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

Legal Contingencies

We are currently involved in certain legal proceedings and claims that arose in the ordinary course of business, as discussed in Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2010, we have accrued our estimate of the probable costs for the resolution of those claims where we believe it is probable that we will incur a loss. This estimate has been developed in consultation with outside counsel handling our defense in these matters and is based upon an analysis of potential results, assuming a combination of litigation and settlement strategies. We do not expect these claims and/or proceedings to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position. It is possible, however, that future results of operations or cash flows for any particular quarterly or annual period could be materially affected by changes in our assumptions related to these claims and proceedings.

Business Combination

We adopted ASC 805 "Business Combination" (Formerly SFAS No. 141R on January 1, 2009); accordingly we are required to allocate the purchase price of acquired companies to the tangible and intangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed, as well as in-process research and development based on their estimated fair values. In allocating the purchase price of acquired companies to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, we developed the required assumptions underlying the valuation work. Critical estimates in valuing certain of the intangible assets include but are not limited to: future expected cash flows from customer contracts, and acquired developed technologies. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, utilizing a market participant approach, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. Assumptions may be incomplete or inaccurate, and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur. We were assisted by a third party valuator in applying the required economic models (such as income approach), in order to estimate the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the business combination.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2009, the FASB issued amendments to the accounting and disclosure for revenue recognition of multiple deliverable revenue arrangements codified in ASC 605-25. These amendments, modify the criteria for recognizing revenue in multiple element arrangements and require companies to develop a best estimate of the selling price to separate deliverables and allocate arrangement consideration using the relative selling price method. Additionally, the amendments eliminate the residual method for allocating arrangement considerations. These amendments establish a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable, which is based on: a) vendor-specific objective evidence; b) third-party evidence; or c) estimates. In addition, this guidance significantly expands required disclosures related to a vendor's multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. ASU 2009-13 is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The Company has not early adopted the guidance. Management believes that the adoption of ASU 2009-13 will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2010, the EITF issued ASU 2010-28, When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts codified in ASC 350, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other". Under ASC 350, testing for goodwill impairment is a two-step test, in which Step 1 compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, Step 2 is completed to measure the amount of impairment, if any. This ASU modifies Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 if it appears more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity would consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist (e.g., a significant adverse change in the business climate). The adoption of ASU 2010-28 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

A. Operating Results

Years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010

Revenues

Revenues from the sale of products are comprised of revenues from sales of Sapiens eMerge™ licenses, license upgrades, fixed price projects, Rapidsure™ license, and licenses for “Sapiens INSIGHT™" suite of solutions for the insurance industry. Revenues from services include mainly consulting on a time and materials basis, maintenance and support.

Total revenues in 2010 increased by 14% to $52.2 million from $45.7 million in 2009. Product revenues in 2010 decreased by 45% to $1.7 million from $3.1 million in 2009, mainly due to decrease in sales of products in Japan. Consulting and other service revenues in 2010 increased 19% to $50.6 million from $42.6 million in 2009, mainly due to increase in sales to our existing and new customers, as well as due to the Harcase acquisition.

Cost of Revenues and Gross Profit

Cost of revenues increased 12.4% to $29.9 million in 2010 from $26.6 million in 2009. Cost of revenues relating to products was comprised of salaries and other personnel-related expenses of software consultants and engineers ($0.7 million, or 70% of our total costs of products, in 2010, and $1.1 million, or 57.9% of our total costs of products, in 2009), amortization of capitalized software development costs ($0.2 million, or 20% of our total costs of products, in 2010 and $0.3 million, or 15.8% of our total costs of products, in 2009), royalties to the Office of the Chief Scientist of the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor of Israel (“OCS”) ($0.1 million, or 10% of our total costs of products, in 2010, and $0.1 million, or 5.3% of our total costs of products in 2009) and other costs ($0 million in 2010, and $0.2 million, or 10.5% of our total costs of products, in 2009). Cost of revenues relating to consulting and other services was comprised of salaries and other personnel-related expenses, and amortization of capitalized software development costs. Salaries and other personnel-related expenses amounted to $22.3 million, or 77.2% of our total costs of consulting and other services, in 2010, and $19.8 million, or 80.2% of our total costs of consulting and other services, in 2009. Amortization of capitalized software development costs amounted to $5.7 million, or 19.7% of our cost of revenues related to consulting, in 2010, and $4.3 million, or 17.4% of our cost of revenues related to consulting, in 2009. The increase in amortization was mainly due to commencement of the amortization of new capitalized software development costs that were ready for product general release in 2010.

Our gross profit in 2010 increased 16.8% to $22.3 million from $19.1 million in 2009 as the overall increase in our revenues outpaced the slight increase in our cost of revenues. The gross profit margin increased by 2.1% in 2010 to 42.7 % from 41.9% in 2009.

Gross profit from product revenues decreased 50% in 2010 to $0.6 million from $1.2 million in 2009. Gross margin from product revenues decreased 4.8% in 2010 to 38.1% from 40.0% in 2009. Gross profit from consulting, maintenance and other services increased 21.2% to $21.7 million in 2010 from $17.9 million in 2009. Gross margin from consulting, maintenance and other services increased 2.1% in 2010 to 42.9% from 42.0% in 2009.

Amortization of capitalized software development costs increased 28.3% to $5.9 million in 2010 from $4.6 million in 2009. The increase was due to the commencement of the amortization of new capitalized software development costs that were ready for product general release in 2010.

Research and Development, net.

Research and development (“R&D”) costs are mainly comprised of labor costs and depreciation of property and equipment, reduced by capitalization of software development costs. Net R&D expenses increased 22.2% in 2010 to $3.3 million from $2.7 million in 2009. The increase in spending on R&D recorded in 2010, as compared with the previous year, resulted mainly from the Harcase acquisition, which increased our R&D resource team, investment in development of our RapidSure product, and increase in development of eMerge™ and Insight for Re-Insurance products, which were off-set by an increase in capitalized software development costs.

Capitalized software development costs increased 45.9% to $5.4 million in 2010 compared with $3.7 million in 2009.

Gross direct labor costs increased 44% in 2010 to $6.9 million from $4.8 million in 2009, mainly due to the Harcase acquisition which increased our R&D resource team and additional expenses related to compensation of Harcase selling shareholders, as well as the increase in the resource team developing Sapiens eMerge™ and Insight for Re-Insurance products ..

Selling, Marketing, General and Administrative expenses.

Selling, marketing, general and administrative, expenses (“SG&A expenses”) increased 11.8% in 2010 to $12.3 million from $11.0 million in 2009, mainly due to an increased headcount resulting from the Harcase acquisition, as well as an increase in our sales and marketing global team. SG&A expenses consist primarily of salaries and other personnel-related expenses, which in 2010 amounted to $6.9 million, or 56% of total SG&A expenses, and in 2009 to $6.5 million or 59.1% of total SG&A expenses, as well as other costs associated with our sales and marketing efforts and our general and administrative activities such as rent which amounted to $1.6 million in 2010 and $1.4 million in 2009, accounting, legal and other public company expenses which amounted to $1.0 million in 2010 and $0.8 million in 2009, depreciation costs of $0.3 million in 2010 and $0.2 million in 2009, and marketing costs, including tradeshows and design, in the amount of $0.4 million in 2010 and $0.1 million in 2009. General and administrative expenses include management salaries, offices and office maintenance, communications, external consultants and other expenses.

Financial expenses, net.

Our financial expenses, net, decreased 55.6% to $0.4 million in 2010 from $0.9 million in 2009. The decrease was mainly due to the repayment in full of our outstanding debentures in 2009. During 2009, we paid $0.3 million as interest to our debenture holders and $5.8 million for the repayment and repurchase of our convertible debentures consisting of a payment of $5.4 million for the fourth installment repayment of the principal amount due under the debentures and $0.4 million for the repurchase of our convertible debentures in the market.

Taxes on Income.

Our net tax expense in 2010 decreased 33% to $0.2 million compared with $0.3 million in 2009. The decrease is due to increase in current income taxes in certain jurisdictions, offset by an increase in net deferred tax asset of $0.3 million due to operating loss carryforwards and temporary differences which more likely than not be utilized in the foreseeable future.

Our provision for taxes on income relates to operations in jurisdictions other than Curaçao. The effective income tax rate varies from period to period as a result of the various jurisdictions in which we operate and where each one has its own system of taxation (not only with respect to the nominal rate, but also with respect to the allowance of deductions, credits and other benefits). We record a valuation allowance if we believe that it is more likely than not that the deferred income taxes regarding the loss carry forwards and other temporary differences, on which a valuation allowance has been provided, will not be realized in the foreseeable future. We did not recognize a majority of the deferred tax assets relating to the net operating losses of our subsidiaries worldwide due to the uncertainty of the realization of such tax benefits in the foreseeable future.

Net Income.

Net income to holders of our Common Shares increased by 47.6% to $6.2 million in 2010 from $4.2 million for 2009. The increase in net income for shareholders in 2010 was due to (a) the $1.4 million increase in operational profit in 2010, from $5.3 million in 2009 to $6.7 million in 2010, which was triggered by higher gross profit on our products and services ($22.3 million in 2010 compared to $19.1 million in 2009) offset by higher overall operating expenses ($15.6 million in 2010 compared to $13.8 million in 2009), and (b) the $0.5 million decrease in financial expenses, net in 2010, from $0.9 million in 2009 to $0.4 million in 2010.

Years ended December 31, 2008 and 2009

Revenues

Total revenues in 2009 increased 5.1% to $45.7 million from $43.5 million in 2008. Product revenues in 2009 decreased 24.4% to $3.1 million in 2009 from $4.1 million in 2008. Consulting and other service revenues in 2009 increased 8.1% to $42.6 million from $39.4 million in 2008.

Cost of Revenues and Gross Profit

Cost of revenues increased 0.4% to $26.6 million in 2009 from $26.5 million in 2008. Cost of revenues relating to products is comprised of salaries and other personnel-related expenses of software consultants and engineers ($1.1 million, or 57.9% of our total costs of products, in 2009, and $1.2 million, or 48% of our total costs of products, in 2008), depreciation costs ($0.2 million, or 10.5% of our total costs of products, in 2009 and $0.3 million, or 12.0% of our total costs of products, in 2008), amortization of capitalized software development costs ($0.3 million, or 15.8% of our total costs of products, in 2009 and $0.4 million, or 16.0% of our total costs of products, in 2008), royalties to the Office of the Chief Scientist of the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor of Israel (“OCS”) ($0.1 million, or 5.3% of our total costs of products, in 2009, and $0.1 million, or 4.0% of our total costs of products in 2008) and other costs ($0.2 million, or 10.5% of our total costs of products, in 2009, and $0.5 million, or 20.0% of our total costs of products, in 2008). Cost of revenues relating to consulting and other services was comprised of salaries and other personnel-related expenses, and amortization of capitalized software development costs. Salaries and other personnel-related expenses amounted to $19.8 million, or 80.2% of our total costs of consulting and other services, in 2009, and $19.6 million, or 81.7% of our total costs of consulting and other services, in 2008. Amortization of capitalized software development costs amounted to $4.3 million, or 17.4% of our cost of revenues related to consulting, in 2009, and $3.8 million, or 15.8% of our cost of revenues related to consulting, in 2008. The increase of the amortization was mainly due to commencement of the amortization of new capitalized software development costs.

Our gross profit in 2009 increased 11.7% to $19.1 million from $17.1 million in 2008 as the overall increase in our revenues outpaced the slight increase in our cost of revenues. The gross profit margin increased by 6.7% in 2009 to 41.9 % from 39.3% in 2008.

Gross profit from product revenues decreased 29.4% in 2009 to $1.2 million from $1.7 million in 2008. Gross margin from product revenues was 40.0% in 2009, with no change from 2008. Gross profit from consulting, maintenance and other services increased 16.2% to $17.9 million in 2009 from $15.4 million in 2008. Gross margin from consulting, maintenance and other services increased 7.3% in 2009 to 42.0% from 39.1% in 2008. These results are mainly due to reduction in labor cost and tight control on all related expenses.

Amortization of capitalized software development costs increased 9.5% to $4.6 million in 2009 from $4.2 million in 2008. The increase was due to beginning of the amortization of new capitalized software development costs in 2009.

Research and Development, net.

Net R&D expenses decreased 30.8% in 2009 to $2.7 million from $3.9 million in 2008. The decrease in spending on R&D recorded in 2009, as compared with the previous year, resulted mainly due to the devaluation of the NIS against the US dollar in 2009 compared to 2008, as most of our research and development group is located in Israel and accordingly, related compensation and other expenses are recorded in NIS, as well as due to the decrease in labor expenses due to the reduction in salaries as well as due to income derived from a decrease in our obligations to contribute to employees pension funds resulting from the increase in the value of such pension funds.

Capitalized software development costs increased 5.7% to $3.7 million in 2009 compared with $3.5 million in 2008. Direct labor costs decreased 14.3% in 2009 to $4.8 million from $5.6 million in 2008, mainly due to the devaluation of the NIS against the US dollar in 2009 compared to 2008, as most of our research and development group is located in Israel and accordingly related compensation and other expenses are recorded in NIS, as well as due to the decrease in labor expenses due to the reduction in salaries as well as due to income derived from a decrease in our obligations to contribute to employees pension funds resulting from the increase in the value of such pension funds.

Selling, Marketing, General and Administrative expenses.

Selling, marketing, general and administrative, expenses (“SG&A expenses”) increased 2.8% in 2009 to $11 million from $10.7 million in 2008. SG&A expenses consist primarily of salaries and other personnel-related expenses, which in 2009 amounted to $6.5 million, or 59.1% of total SG&A expenses, and in 2008 to $6.4 million or 59.8% of total SG&A expenses, as well as other costs associated with our sales and marketing efforts and our general and administrative activities such as rent which amounted to $1.4 million in 2009 and $1.3 million in 2008, accounting, legal and other public company expenses which amounted to $0.8 million in 2009 and $1.0 million in 2008, depreciation costs of $0.2 million each of 2009 and 2008, and marketing costs, including tradeshows and design, in the amount of $0.1 million in 2009 and $0.2 million in 2008.

Financial expenses, net.

Our financial expenses, net, decreased 59.1% to $0.9 million in 2009 from $2.2 million in 2008. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in the aggregate amount of our outstanding debentures and short term loans from financial institutions in 2009 compared to 2008. During 2009, we paid $0.3 million as interest to our debenture holders and $5.8 million for the repayment and repurchase of our convertible debentures consisting of a payment of $5.4 million for the fourth installment repayment of the principal amount due under the debentures and $0.4 million for the repurchase of our convertible debentures in the market.

Taxes on Income.

Our net tax expense in 2009 was $0.26 million compared with $0.58 million in 2008.

Net Income (loss).

Net income to holders of our Common Shares was $4.2 million in 2009 compared to net loss of $0.3 million for 2008. The increase in net income for shareholders in 2009 was due to (a) the $2.8 million increase in operational profit in 2009, from $2.5 million in 2008 to $5.3 million in 2009, which was triggered by higher gross profit on our products and services ($19.1 million in 2009 compared to $17.1 million in 2008) and reduced overall operating expenses ($13.8 million in 2009 relative to $14.6 million in 2008), and (b) the $1.3 million decrease in financial expenses, net in 2009, from $2.2 million in 2008 to $0.9 million in 2009.

Impact of Foreign Currency Fluctuations and Inflation.

For a discussion of the impact of inflation and foreign currency fluctuations upon our results, please see the risk factors entitled "We face currency exchange risks, as changes in exchange rates between the US dollar and other currencies, especially the NIS, may negatively impact our costs" and "We may be adversely affected if the rate of inflation in Israel exceeds the rate of devaluation (if any) of the New Israeli Shekel against the dollar" in Item 3.D, “Risk Factors,” above.

Effects of Government Regulations and Location on our Business.

For a discussion of the effects of Israeli governmental regulation and our location in Israel on our business, see the “Risks Relating to Our International Operations, Particularly in Israel” in Item 3.D above, and “Israeli Tax Considerations and Government Programs” in Item 10.E below.

B. Liquidity and Capital Resources.

Our cash and cash equivalents at the end of 2010 were $16.2 million, compared with $11.2 million at the end of 2009. The increase in such liquid assets was due to our increased profitability in 2010, net of payment made as a result of Harcase acquisition.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $12.1 million in 2010, compared with net cash provided by operating activities of $13.5 million in 2009. Net cash used in investing activities was $7.5 million in 2010, compared with net cash used in investing activities of $4.0 million in 2009. The increase is mainly due to the Harcase acquisition net payment of $1.4 million and increase in capitalized software development cost of $1.7 million ($5.4 million in 2010 compared to $3.7 million in 2009).

Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $9 thousand in 2010, which reflected proceeds from the issuance of Common Shares due to stock options exercised, compared with $6.5 million used in financing activities in 2009. During 2010, we had no loans or debentures. In 2009, we decreased our long term loan in the amount of $0.6 million, paid $0.3 million as interest to our debenture holders and $5.8 million for the repayment and repurchase of our convertible debentures.

Credit Lines

We had a revolving credit line facility for borrowings of up to $9.2 million until June 30, 2009 which we did not utilize. We closed such line of credit with no liability with respect thereto.

Debenture Issuance, Repayments and Buyback s

A prior source of liquidity for our Company was our offering of convertible debentures on the TASE in December 2003, which provided gross proceeds to us in an approximate amount of $18.6 million (after including approximately $1.5 million of additional debentures that were purchased in March 2004 pursuant to options that were issued as part of the December 2003 closing). The debentures bore interest at an annual rate of 6.0%, payable on the 5th of June and the 5th of December each year commencing on June 5, 2004 and ending on December 5, 2009. Principal was payable in four installments, on the 5th of December of the years 2006-2009. Our obligations under the debentures were denominated in NIS but would become linked to the US dollar if the exchange rate between the NIS and the US dollar rose above NIS 4.394 per 1 US dollar (on March 31, 2009, the exchange rate between the NIS and the US dollar was NIS 4.188 per 1 US dollar).

In June 2007, we repurchased an aggregate amount of NIS 15,000,000 nominal value, representing approximately $3.5 million, of the outstanding debentures. In January and February 2008, we repurchased an additional aggregate amount of NIS 7,600,000 nominal value, representing approximately $2.1 million, of the outstanding debentures.

In January 2009, we repurchased an aggregate amount of NIS 1,605,799 nominal value, representing approximately $0.4 million, of the outstanding debentures. Pursuant to the terms of the prospectus governing the debentures, the debentures repurchased by us were retired and removed from circulation.

In December 2009, we paid the fourth and final annual repayment of the principal of the debentures in the amount of approximately $5.4 million, thereby retiring the remaining outstanding debentures

Outlook

In 2010, we generated positive operating cash flow on an annual basis in the amount of $12.1 million overall, following upon positive operating cash flow of $13.5 million in 2009. Management believes that positive cash flow generated during 2008, 2009 and 2010 and our existing cash balances will be sufficient for our present requirements, and at least until December 31, 2011, to support our operating and financing requirements. However, in the event that we make one or more acquisitions for consideration consisting of all or a substantial part of our available cash, we might be required to seek external debt or equity financing for such acquisition or acquisitions or to fund subsequent operations.

C. Research and Development, Patents and Licenses, etc.

See the captions titled "Research and Development, net" in section A. “Operating Results” of this Item 5 above for a description of our R&D policies and amounts expended thereon during the last two fiscal years.

D. Trend Information

The global insurance industry is constantly changing as a result of regulatory changes. Insurance companies must comply with regulations such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in the United States, Solvency II in Europe and other directives regarding transparency. In addition, many individual countries have increased supervision over local insurance companies.

Globally, the insurance industry has witnessed cross-border mergers and acquisitions, and the entry of international insurance companies into new emerging markets.

Finally, in recent years there has been constant significant growth in income from annual premiums. The recent financial developments worldwide may reduce insurers' revenues from such premiums, however, thereby reducing the likelihood that insurers will make additional expenditures to purchase our products and services.

We believe that the insurance market is changing and the reasons that contributed to the delays we experienced in penetration of the insurance industry are gradually fading away. However, the recent financial developments worldwide may still cause delays in our growth and expansion.

Under current circumstances, we expect that additional time will be required to fully implement our strategy of focusing on the insurance industry, and that our results of operations and financial condition could continue to be adversely affected. We are addressing the challenges posed by the market environment by focusing our marketing and selling efforts and by further reducing the expenses of our operations.

E. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not engaged in nor been a party to any off-balance sheet transactions.

F. Contractual Obligations

The following table sets forth information on our short-term and long-term contractual obligations as at December 31, 2010 (in thousands of dollars).

	Payments due by period

	Total		Less than 1 year		1 to 3 years		3 to 5 years		Over 5 years

Others		151		-		151		-		-

Total	$	9,334	$	3,472	$	4,500	$	492	$	870

As discussed in Note 11 of our consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this annual report, as of December 31, 2010 we had a total liability of $400 thousand for gross unrecognized tax benefits. Due to the uncertainties related to those tax matters, we are currently unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate of when cash settlement with a relevant tax authority will occur.

Stock Option and Incentive Plans

1992 Stock Option and Incentive Plan and 2003 Share Option Plan

In 1992, our Board of Directors and shareholders approved the 1992 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “1992 Stock Plan”) pursuant to which our officers, directors and employees are eligible to receive awards of stock options and restricted stock. In February 2003, the Board of Directors authorized the extension of the 1992 Stock Plan until April 2012 and our shareholders approved that extension. In 2003, our Board of Directors and shareholders approved the 2003 Share Option Plan (the “2003 Option Plan”), pursuant to which our officers, directors, employees, consultants and contractors are eligible to receive awards of stock options. In the following description, the 1992 Stock Plan and 2003 Option Plan will be referred to together as the “Incentive Plans” and may each be referred to individually as an “Incentive Plan.”

Options granted under the 1992 Stock Plan may be “incentive stock options” (“ISOs”), within the meaning of section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or non-qualified stock options (“non-Qualified Stock Options”). Restricted stock may be granted in addition to or in lieu of any other award granted under the 1992 Stock Plan. Option grants under the 2003 Option Plan are intended to comply with, and benefit from, applicable tax laws and regulations in Israel.

Each of the Incentive Plans is administered by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors (the “Committee”). Subject to the provisions of each Incentive Plan, the Committee determines the type of award, when and to whom awards will be granted and the number of shares covered by each award. The Committee also determines the terms, provisions, and kind of consideration payable (if any), with respect to awards. The Committee has discretionary authority to interpret the Incentive Plans and to adopt rules and regulations related thereto. In determining the persons to whom awards shall be granted and the number of shares covered by each award, the Committee takes into account the contribution to the management, growth and/or profitability of the business of the Company by the respective persons and such factors as the Committee shall deem relevant, including the length of employment of the respective persons, the nature of their responsibilities to the Company, and their flexibility with regard to location of their employment and other employment-related factors.

An option may be granted on such terms and conditions as the Committee may approve, and generally may be exercised for a period of up to 10 years from the date of grant. In 2008, certain grants were limited to an exercise period of 6 years. Options granted under the Incentive Plans become exercisable in four equal, annual installments, beginning with the first anniversary of the date of the grant, or pursuant to such other schedule as the Committee may provide in the option agreement. The exercise price of such options generally will be not less than 100% of the fair market value per share of the Common Shares at the date of the grant. In the case of ISOs, certain limitations will apply with respect to the aggregate value of option shares which can become exercisable for the first time during any one calendar year, and certain additional limitations will apply to “Ten Percent Stockholders” (as defined in the 1992 Stock Plan). The Committee may provide for the payment of the option price in cash, by delivery of other Common Shares having a fair market value equal to such option exercise price, by a combination thereof or by any method in accordance with the terms of the option agreements. The Incentive Plans contain special rules governing the time of exercise of options in the case of death, disability, or other termination of employment. Options are not transferable except by will or pursuant to applicable laws of descent and distribution upon death of the employee.

The 1992 Stock Plan also provides for the granting of restricted stock awards, which are awards of Common Shares that may not be disposed of, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, for such period as the Committee determines (the “restricted period”). The Committee may also impose such other conditions and restrictions on the shares as it deems appropriate, including the satisfaction of performance criteria. The Committee may provide that such restrictions will lapse with respect to specified percentages of the awarded shares on successive anniversaries of the date of the award. During the restricted period, the grantee is entitled to receive dividends with respect to, and to vote the shares awarded to him or her. If, during the restricted period, the grantee’s continuous employment with the Company terminates for any reason, any shares remaining subject to restrictions will be forfeited. The Committee has the authority to cancel any or all outstanding restrictions prior to the end of the restricted period, including cancellation of restrictions in connection with certain types of termination of employment.

As of December 31, 2010, we had 700,113 Common Shares available for future issuance of awards under the Incentive Plans. As of December 31, 2010, options to purchase 2,945,772 Common Shares, 1,852,867 of which were held by officers and directors, were outstanding. As of that date, there were 22,280 shares of restricted stock that the Company had granted to employees and other eligible grantees (none of which were held by current or former officers and directors), and all of which had vested (prior to 1998) under the restricted stock awards.

During 2008, under the Incentive Plans, we granted to our directors and executive officers a total of 65,000 options to purchase Common Shares at an exercise price of $1.50 per Common Share, which options will expire at the conclusion of six years.

During 2009, under the Incentive Plans, we granted to our directors and executive officers a total of 57,892 options to purchase Common Shares at an exercise price of $1.50 per Common Share, which options will expire at the conclusion of six years.

During 2010, under the Incentive Plans, we granted to our directors and executive officers a total of 260,000 options to purchase Common Shares at an exercise price of $1.60 per Common Share, as applicable, which options will expire at the conclusion of six years.

New Incentive Stock Option Plan

In 2005, our Board of Directors authorized a new Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “Special Plan”) and our shareholders approved the Special Plan in 2006. The number of Common Shares available for grants pursuant to the Special Plan was set at 2,000,000 shares. The Special Plan is intended to be used solely to attract or retain senior management and/or members of the Board of Directors. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, options granted pursuant to the Special Plan have an exercise price of $3.00 per share, shares issued upon exercise are locked up for up to five years following the grant date, and the right to obtain shares is contingent upon the optionee providing services to the Company throughout the entire five year period. In the event of a change of control of the Company, any unvested options will be accelerated.

The Special Plan is administered by the Committee. Subject to the provisions of the Special Plan, the Committee determines the type of award, when and to whom awards will be granted and the number of shares covered by each award. The Committee also determines the terms and provisions with respect to awards. The Committee has discretionary authority to interpret the Special Plan and to adopt rules and regulations related thereto.

Pursuant to the Special Plan, in November 2005, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer was granted options to purchase 1,000,000 Common Shares at an exercise price of $3.00 per share. In December 2005, we accelerated the vesting of all 1,000,000 options. In 2007, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer was granted options to purchase 250,000 Common Shares, pursuant to the Special Plan at an exercise price of $3.00 per share. During 2009, all the outstanding options under the Special Plan were re-priced, See "Re-pricing of Options" below. Following the re-pricing, as of December 31, 2010, the President and the Chief Operating Officer had options to purchase 715,849 and 210,021 Common Shares, respectively, at an exercise price of $1.50 per share, at market conditions (a kick-in feature of a $2.10 market price).

Re-pricing of Options

During 2009, our Board of Directors approved the re-pricing of options outstanding under the Incentive Plans and Special Plan. As a result of the re-pricing 1,985,650 stock options at an exercise price range of $1.74 to $5.30 were re-priced to 1,554,627 stock options at an exercise price of $1.50 per share (925,870 stock options of the 1,554,627 stock options are at market conditions (a kick-in feature of a $2.10 market price). In addition, the expiration of the exercise period for all remaining outstanding options was reduced to no later than September 2015.

C. Board Practices

Members of the Company’s Board of Directors are elected by a vote at the annual general meeting of shareholders and serve for a term of one year from the date of the prior year's annual meeting. Directors may serve multiple terms and are elected by a majority of the votes cast at the meeting. The Chief Executive Officer serves until his removal by the Board of Directors or resignation from office. Our non-employee directors do not have agreements with the Company for benefits upon termination of their service as directors.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors is comprised of three independent directors (such independence determination having been made by our Board of Directors, in accordance with the NASDAQ Listing Rules), who were nominated by the Board of Directors: Yacov Elinav, Uzi Netanel and Eyal Ben Chlouche. The Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Elinav meets the definition of an audit committee financial expert (as defined in Item 16A (b) of Form 20-F promulgated by the SEC). The primary function of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities by reviewing financial information, internal controls and the audit process. In addition, the Committee is responsible for oversight of the work of our independent auditors. The Committee is governed by a charter and meets at regularly scheduled quarterly meetings.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors is comprised of two directors, nominated by the Board of Directors: Naamit Salomon and Guy Bernstein. The primary function of the Compensation Committee is to manage the Company’s Stock Option Plan and review and approve all matters relating to the compensation of the Company’s officers and directors. The Committee is governed by a charter and meets at regularly scheduled quarterly meetings.

NASDAQ Exemptions for a Controlled Company

We are a controlled company within the meaning of NASDAQ Listing Rule 5615(c)(1) since Formula holds more than 50% of our voting power.

Under Rule 5615(c)(2), a controlled company is exempt from the requirements of NASDAQ Listing Rules 5605(b), (d) and (e) listed below:

The majority of the company’s board of directors must qualify as independent directors, as defined under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(a)(2).

The compensation of the chief executive officer and all other executive officers must be determined, or recommended to the board of directors for determination, either by (i) a majority of the independent directors or (ii) a compensation committee comprised solely of independent directors (subject to limited exceptions).

Director nominees must either be selected or recommended for the board of directors’ selection, either by (a) a majority of independent directors or (b) a nominations committee comprised solely of independent directors (subject to limited exceptions).

The company must certify that it has adopted a formal written charter or board resolution, as applicable, addressing the nominations process and such related matters as may be required under US federal securities laws.

NASDAQ Opt Out for a Foreign Private Issuer

We are a foreign private issuer within the meaning of NASDAQ Listing Rule 5005(a)(18), since we are incorporated in the Curaçao and we meet the other criteria set forth for a "foreign private issuer" under Rule 3b-4(c) under the Exchange Act.

Pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5615(a)(3), a foreign private issuer may follow home country practice in lieu of certain provisions of the NASDAQ Listing Rule 5600 series and certain other NASDAQ Listing Rules. Please see Item 16G below ("Corporate Governance") for a description of the manner in which we rely upon home country practice in lieu of NASDAQ Listing Rules. We rely on home country practice with respect to a number of matters for which we would otherwise be exempt under the controlled company exemption described above under "NASDAQ Exemptions for a Controlled Company"

ITEM 7.

MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

A. Major Shareholders.

The following table sets forth, as of March 1, 2011, certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of the Company’s Common Shares by each person known by the Company to own beneficially more than 5% of the outstanding Common Shares, based on information provided to us by the holders or disclosed in public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

We determine beneficial ownership of shares under the rules of Form 20-F promulgated by the SEC and include any Common Shares over which a person possesses sole or shared voting or investment power, or the right to receive the economic benefit of ownership, or for which a person has the right to acquire any such beneficial ownership at any time within 60 days.

	Shares Beneficially Owned
Name and Address	Number		Percent (1)
Formula Systems (1985) Ltd. (2) 3 Abba Eban Boulevard Herzlia 46725, Israel		15,801,723		72

(1)	Unless otherwise indicated below, the persons in the above table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares shown as beneficially owned by them.

(2)	The percentages shown are based on 22,044,834 Common Shares outstanding as of March 1, 2011.

(3)	As of March 1, 2011, Asseco beneficially owns 51.7% of the outstanding share capital of Formula. As such, Asseco is deemed to be the beneficial owner of the aggregate 15,801,723 Common Shares held directly by Formula. The address of Asseco is Olchowa 14 35-322 Rzeszow, Poland.

Significant changes in holdings of major shareholders

From time to time, Formula has increased its beneficial shareholding in the Company through market purchases of additional Common Shares. From October 2007 through June 2008, Formula increased its holding of our Common Shares by approximately 914,858 Common Shares through purchases on the public market. See the Schedule 13D/A filed by Formula with the SEC on June 12, 2008 with respect to such purchases. From June 2008 through August 2008, Formula increased its holding of our Common Shares by approximately 2,201,010 additional Common Shares through purchases on the public market. See the Schedule 13D/A filed by Formula with the SEC on September 2, 2008 with respect to such purchases. From September 2008 through November 2008, Formula increased its holding of our Common Shares by approximately 409,576 additional Common Shares through purchases on the public market. See the Schedule 13D/A filed by Formula with the SEC on December 11, 2008 with respect to such purchases. From January 2010 through December 2010, Formula increased its holding of our Common Shares by approximately 595,297 additional Common Shares through purchases on the public market. See the Schedule 13D/A filed by Formula with the SEC on July 26, 2010 with respect to such purchases.

As of March 1, 2011, Formula was the holder of approximately 72% of our outstanding Common Shares.

Voting rights of major shareholders

The major shareholders disclosed above do not have different voting rights than other shareholders with respect to the Common Shares that they hold.

Holders of Record

As March 1, 2011 there were 81 holders of record of the Company’s Common Shares, including 50 holders of record with addresses in the United States who hold a total of 18,406, 634 Common Shares, representing approximately 83% of our issued and outstanding Common Shares. The number of record holders in the United States is not representative of the number of beneficial holders, nor is it representative of where such beneficial holders are resident, because many of these Common Shares were held of record by nominees (including CEDE & Co., as nominee for a large number of banks, brokers, institutions and underlying beneficial holders of our Common Shares). In particular, based on our inquiry, we are aware that many of the Common Shares that are beneficially held by Formula, a non-U.S. resident that holds approximately 72% of our outstanding Common Shares, are held of record via nominees located in the United States.

Control of the Company

Based on Formula’s beneficial holding of over 50% of the outstanding Common Shares of the Company, and based on Asseco's beneficial holding of 51.7% of the outstanding share capital of Formula, both Formula and Asseco may be considered to control the Company. We are unaware of any arrangements the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change of control of the Company.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

A. Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information.

Financial Statements

See the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes in Item 18.

Export Sales

In 2010, 62.6% of our revenues originated from customers located outside of Israel. For information on our revenues breakdown by geographic market for the past three years, see Item 4, “Information on the Company – Business Overview - Geographical Distribution of Revenues.”

Legal Proceedings

In February 2008, a former employee of ours filed a claim against us for the amount that such former employee was required to pay to the Israel Tax Authorities approximately NIS 4.5 million (approximately $1.3 million as of December 31, 2010) as a result of his exercise of stock options. In June 2010, we signed a settlement agreement with the former employee pursuant to which we paid an amount which was not material.

In July 2010, one of our subsidiaries, Sapiens Americas received a claim submitted to Court of Arbitration at the Polish Chamber of Commerce in Warsaw by Powszechny Zaklad Ubezpieczen SA ("PZU"), a former customer in Poland claiming an amount of approximately €3.4 million. The claim relates to a dispute regarding Sapiens Americas' performance of its contractual duties in project for PZU a few years ago. We reject PZU's claims and are presently preparing our statement of defense.

In addition we are a party to various other legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business.

We have made provision in our financial statements of $0.5 million which we believe is sufficient to cover damages, if any, which may result from these claims.

In June 2009, the Chief Scientist of the Israeli Ministry of Industry and Trade (“OCS”) imposed a lien in the amount of approximately NIS 13 million (approximately $3.3 million) on certain of our bank accounts in connection with a historic dispute between us and the OCS concerning royalty payments which the OCS claimed is owing to the OCS in connection with past grants received by us from the OCS. In September 2009, we signed a settlement agreement with the OCS pursuant to which we agreed to pay the OCS an interim amount of NIS 6 million (approximately $1.6 million) in installments, all of which were paid. In addition, we paid an additional NIS 3 million (approximately $833,000). We remain subject to a technological review by the OCS which has not yet been performed, based on the results of which, the amount owing to the OCS will be finally determined. As part of the settlement, the liens imposed by the OCS were removed. The above payments are covered by an existing provision in our financial statements.

Dividend Policy

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our Common Shares and we do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. It is the present intention of our Board of Directors to retain all earnings in the Company in order to support the future growth of our business. Any determination in the future to pay dividends will be dependent upon our consolidated results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, future prospects and other factors. For more information about distribution of dividends and various tax implications, see Item 10, “Additional Information - Memorandum and Articles of Association;” Item 10, “Additional Information – Exchange Controls,” and Item 10, “Additional Information – Taxation.”

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

A. Share Capital.

Not applicable.

B. Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Articles”).

Registration and Purposes. The Company is organized and existing under the laws of Curaçao. Its registered number is 53368.

The objects and purposes of the Company, which are itemized in Article II of the Articles, may be summarized as follows:

to establish, participate in or have any other interest in business enterprises concerned with the development and commercial operation of software;

to finance directly or indirectly the activities of the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates;

to borrow and to lend moneys;

to engage in the purchase and sale of securities, futures, real estate, business debts, commodities and intellectual property;

to undertake, conduct and promote research and development;

to guarantee, pledge, mortgage or otherwise encumber assets as security for the obligations of the Company or third parties; and

to do all that may be useful or necessary for the attainment of the above purposes.

Board of Directors. A member of the Board of Directors may vote on a proposal or transaction in which he/she has a material interest if the material facts as to the director’s self-interest are disclosed to the Board of Directors. Neither the Articles nor Curaçao law requires a majority of the disinterested directors to authorize the proposal or transaction. Members of the Board of Directors have the power to vote compensation to themselves, even if they lack an independent quorum.

The Articles do not grant borrowing powers to directors; nor do they require directors to resign at a certain age or to purchase a certain number of Common Shares.

Rights and Preferences. The Company has only one class of shares of common stock, the Common Shares, currently outstanding. All previous issuances of preferred shares have been converted into Common Shares. The rights and preferences of the holders of Common Shares are summarized below. The Articles authorize a class of undefined preferred shares (the “Blank Preferred Shares”). There are no rights associated with the Blank Preferred Shares and none have been issued.

(a)

Common Shares

Holders of the Common Shares are entitled to one vote for each whole share on all matters to be voted upon by shareholders, including the election of directors. Holders of the Common Shares do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. All Common Shares are equal to each other with respect to liquidation and dividend rights. Holders of the Common Shares are entitled to receive dividends, subject to shareholder approval, out of funds legally available under Curaçao law. See “Dividend Policy” below. In the event of the liquidation of the Company, all assets available for distribution to the holders of the Common Shares are distributable among them according to their respective holdings, subject to the preferences of any shares having a preference upon liquidation that may be then outstanding. Holders of the Common Shares have no preemptive rights to purchase any additional, unissued Common Shares. The foregoing summary of the Common Shares does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the provisions of the Articles.

(b)

Dividend Policy

The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its Common Shares and does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. It is the present intention of the Company’s Board of Directors to retain all earnings in the Company in order to support the future growth of its business. Any determination in the future to pay dividends will be dependent upon the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, future prospects and other factors. In addition, the ability of the Company to pay dividends is subject to the limitations of the Corporate Law of Curaçao, which provides, among other things, that dividends, while permitted to be paid periodically during a fiscal year, are subject to being proposed by the Board of Directors of the Company and approved thereafter at the General Meeting of Shareholders. The Corporate Law of Curaçao also provides that a distribution of dividends can only occur if, at the moment of distribution, the equity of the Company equals at least the nominal capital of the Company and, as a result of the distribution, will not fall below the nominal capital. Nominal capital is the sum of the par values of all of the issued shares of the Company’s capital stock at any moment in time.

(c)

The Blank Preferred Shares

There are no preferences or any rights whatsoever associated with the Blank Preferred Shares. These shares are unissued and are not owned by any of the current shareholders of the Company. Any issuance of these preferred shares is solely within the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company has undertaken toward the TASE that so long as its Common Shares are listed for trading on the TASE, the Company shall not issue or grant any shares of a different class of shares than those that are listed for trading on the TASE. This undertaking does not apply to Preferred Shares as defined in Section 46B(b) of the Israel Securities Law, on the condition that such Preferred Shares are issued in accordance with the conditions set forth in Section 46A(1) therein.

Changing the Rights of the Shareholders . The general meeting of shareholders decides upon any change in the Articles. A resolution to amend the Articles requires the approval of the absolute majority of all shares outstanding and entitled to vote.

General Meetings . At least one general meeting of shareholders must be held each year. General meetings must be held in Curaçao. Special general meetings of shareholders may be called at any time by the Chairman of the Board or by the Board of Directors upon no less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ written notice to the Company’s shareholders. Every shareholder has the right to attend any meeting of shareholders in person or by proxy and to address the meeting. No action may be taken at any meeting of shareholders unless a quorum consisting of holders of at least one-half of the shares outstanding and entitled to vote are present at the meeting in person or by proxy.

Limitations to Own Securities. The Articles contain no limits on the right to own securities.

Change of Control. The Articles contain no provisions that would prevent or delay a change of control of the Company.

Disclosure of Ownership. By-laws do not exist under Curaçao law. The Articles contain no provisions requiring a shareholder to disclose his or her interest at a certain time; however, holders of our shares are subject to the reporting provisions of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

C.	Material Contracts

Agreement with Menora.

Our agreement with Menora is based upon an annual budget provided to us by Menora, pursuant to which it purchases from us mainly consulting services, which are to be provided over the course of the relevant year. The agreement includes fixed time and material billing rates for consulting services to be provided and does not constitute a contractual commitment of Menora to continue to order services from us, beyond what is specified in the annual budget. In addition, Menora may, at its sole discretion, change (increase or decrease) the budget during the course of the year; however, in the event of a decrease in the budget, any services already provided by us will be paid for in full by Menora. Our agreement with Menora does not involve any sale of products and is not a continuing contract (since Menora is not committed to continue such agreement). In addition, according to the agreement, we are obligated to pay sale commissions to Menorah on future license sales of one of our products to third parties, as described in the agreement.

D. Exchange Controls

Although there are Curaçao laws which may impose foreign exchange controls on the Company and may affect the payment of dividends, interest or other payments to non-resident holders of the Company’s securities, including the Common Shares, the Company has been granted an exemption from such foreign exchange control regulations by the Central Bank of Curaçao. Other jurisdictions in which the Company conducts operations may have various currency or exchange controls. In addition, the Company is subject to the risk of changes in political conditions or economic policies which could result in new or additional currency or exchange controls or other restrictions being imposed on the operations of the Company. As to the Company’s securities, Curaçao law and the Articles impose no limitations on the right of non-resident or foreign owners to hold or vote such securities.

E. Taxation

Israeli Tax Considerations and Government Programs

General

The following is a general discussion only and is not exhaustive of all possible tax considerations. It is not intended, and should not be construed, as legal or professional tax advice and should not be relied upon for tax planning purposes. In addition, this discussion does not address all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to purchasers of our Common Shares in light of their particular circumstances, or certain types of purchasers of our Common Shares subject to special tax treatment. Examples of this kind of investor include residents of Israel and traders in securities who are subject to special tax regimes not covered in this discussion. Each individual/entity should consult its own tax or legal advisor as to the Israeli tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our Common Shares.

To the extent that part of the discussion is based on new tax legislation, which has not been subject to judicial or administrative interpretation, we cannot assure you that the tax authorities or the courts will accept the views expressed in this section.

The following summary describes the current tax structure applicable to companies in Israel, with special reference to its effect on us. The following also contains a discussion of the material Israeli tax consequences to holders of our Common Shares.

Taxation of Companies

General Corporate Tax Structure

Generally, Israeli companies are subject to "Corporate Tax" at their taxable income. On July 25, 2005, the Knesset (Israeli Parliament) approved the Law of the Amendment of the Income Tax Ordinance (No. 147), 2005, which prescribes, among others, a gradual decreased in the corporate tax rate in Israel to the following tax rates: in 2006 - 31%, in 2007 - 29%, in 2008 - 27%, in 2009 - 26% and in 2010 and thereafter - 25%. Capital gains are subject to tax at a rate of 25% (other than gains derived from the sale of listed securities that are taxed at the prevailing corporate tax rates) derived after January 1, 2003.

In July 2009, the Knesset passed the Law for Economic Efficiency (Amended Legislation for Implementing the Economic Plan for 2009 and 2010), 2009, which prescribes, among others, an additional gradual reduction in the rates of the Israeli corporate tax and real capital gains tax, commencing 2011, to the following tax rates: 2011 – 24%, 2012 – 23%, 2013 – 22%, 2014 – 21%, 2015 – 20%, 2016 and thereafter – 18%.

However, the effective tax rate payable by a company which derives income from an approved enterprise (as further discussed below) may be considerably less.

Law for the Encouragement of Industry (Taxes), 1969.

According to the Law for the Encouragement of Industry (Taxes), 1969 (“Industry Encouragement Law”), industrial companies are entitled to the following tax benefit, among others:

deduction of purchases of know-how and patents over an eight-year period for tax purposes;

expenses involved with the issuance and listing of shares on the TASE or on a recognized stock market outside of Israel, are deductible over a three-year period;

the right to elect, under specified conditions, to file a consolidated tax return with other related Israeli industrial companies; and

accelerated depreciation rates on equipment and buildings.

According to the law, an “industrial company” is defined as a company resident in Israel, at least 90% of the income of which, in any tax year, determined in Israeli currency (exclusive of income from government loans, capital gains, interest and dividends) is derived from an “industrial enterprise” owned by it. An “industrial enterprise” is defined as an enterprise whose major activity in a given tax year is industrial production activity. Eligibility for benefits under the Industry Encouragement Law is not subject to receipt of prior approval from any governmental authority.

We believe that our subsidiary, Sapiens Technologies (1982) Ltd, currently qualifies as an industrial company within the definition under the Industry Encouragement Law. However, we cannot give any assurance that we will continue to qualify as an “industrial company” or that the benefits described above will be available in the future.

Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959.

The Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959, in effect prior to April 1, 2005 (the “Investments Law”), provides that a capital investment in eligible facilities may, upon application to the Investment Center of the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor of the State of Israel, be designated as an “approved enterprise.” Each certificate of approval for an approved enterprise relates to a specific investment program, delineated both by the financial scope of the investment and by the physical characteristics of the facility or the asset. An approved enterprise is entitled to benefits including Israeli government cash grants and tax benefits in specified development areas. The extent of the tax benefits available under the Investments Law and the period for which tax benefits are available are determined by the geographic location of the enterprise. The benefits are dependent upon the fulfillment of conditions stipulated in the Investments Law and its regulations, including the criteria set forth in the specific certificate of approval. The tax benefits from any certificate of approval relate only to taxable profits attributable to the specific approved enterprise. If a company has more than one approval or only a portion of its enterprise is approved, its effective tax rate is the result of a weighted average of the applicable rates (such weighted average is calculated in accordance with the guidelines of the Investment Law).

Tax benefits given under the Investment Law also apply to income generated by a company from the grant of a usage right with respect to know-how developed by the approved enterprise, income generated from royalties, and income derived from a service which is auxiliary to such usage right or royalties, provided that such income is generated in the course of the approved enterprise’s ordinary course of business.

Each application to the Investment Center is reviewed separately and a decision as to whether or not to approve such application is based, among other things, on the then-prevailing criteria set forth in the law, the specific objectives of the applicant company set forth in such application and certain financial criteria of the applicant company. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that any future application will be approved. In addition, as described above, the benefits available to an approved enterprise are dependent upon the fulfillment of certain conditions stipulated in the Investments Law and its regulations and the criteria set forth in the specific certificate of approval. In the event that these conditions are violated, in whole or in part, we would be required to refund the amount of tax benefits, with the addition of the Israeli consumer price index linkage adjustment and interest.

Our subsidiary, Sapiens Technologies (1982) Ltd., which is incorporated in Israel, was granted approved enterprise status by the Investment Center for six investment programs in 1984, 1991, 1993, 1995, 1998 and 2000 under the Investments Law.

We believe our approved enterprise operates in substantial compliance with all such conditions and criteria.

On April 1, 2005, a comprehensive amendment to the Investments Law came into effect. As the amended Investments Law does not retroactively apply to investment programs having an approved enterprise approval certificate issued by the Investment Center prior to December 31, 2004, our current tax benefits are subject to the provisions of the Investments Law prior to its revision. Our approved plans subsequent to 2005 and others that may be received in the future will be subject to the provisions of the Investments Law, as amended. Accordingly, the following description includes a summary of the Investments Law prior to its amendment as well as the relevant changes contained in the Investments Law.

Under the terms of our approved enterprise, once we begin generating taxable net income, we will be entitled to a tax exemption with respect to the income derived from our approved enterprise program for two years and will be subject to a reduced company tax rate of between 10% and 25% for the following five to eight years, depending on the extent of foreign (non-Israeli) investment in our company during the relevant year. The tax rate will be 20% if the foreign investment level is more than 49% but less than 74%, 15% if the foreign investment level is more than 74% but less than 90%, and 10% if the foreign investment level is 90% or more. The lowest level of foreign investment during a particular year will be used to determine the relevant tax rate for that year. The period in which we receive these tax benefits is limited to 12 years from the year in which operations or production by the enterprise commenced or 14 years from the year in which approval was granted, whichever is the earlier (the "year of limitation"). The year of limitation does not apply to the exemption period. Dividends distributed from tax-exempt income would be taxed in respect of the gross amount distributed according to the company tax rate that would have been applicable had the company not been exempt from taxation that year. This rate is generally 10% to 25% depending on the extent of foreign investment in the company.

Dividends paid out of income generated by an approved enterprise (or out of dividends received from a company whose income is generated by an approved enterprise) are generally subject to withholding tax at the rate applicable to dividends from approved enterprises (15%), unless a different rate is provided according to a treaty between Israel and the shareholder’s country of residence (if the dividend is distributed out of income derived during the tax exemption period or within 12 years thereafter). The company must withhold this tax at source.

The Investments Law also provides that an approved enterprise is entitled to accelerated depreciation on its property and equipment that are included in an approved investment program. We have not utilized this benefit.

Pursuant to the amendment to the Investments Law, effective as of April 1, 2005, the basic condition for receiving the benefits (both under the grant and the tax benefits programs) is the enterprise’s contribution to the economic independence of the State of Israel and its contribution to the gross domestic product. In order to fulfill these conditions, the enterprise is required to be categorized as an industrial enterprise which complies with any of the following:

its major activity is in the field of biotechnology or nano-technology;

its revenues during the applicable tax year from any single market (i.e. country or a separate customs territory) do not exceed 75% of the privileged enterprise's aggregate revenues during such year; or

25% or more of its revenues during the applicable tax year are generated from sales into a single market (i.e. country or a separate customs territory) with a population of at least 12 million residents.

According to the amendment to the Investments Law, only approved enterprises receiving cash grants require the approval of the Investment Center. Approved enterprises, which do not receive benefits in the form of governmental cash grants, such as benefits in the form of tax benefits, are no longer required to obtain this approval (such enterprises are referred to as “privileged enterprises”). In order to be eligible for the tax benefits, privileged enterprises are required to comply with certain requirements and make certain investments as specified in the amended Investments Law. The privileged enterprises are subject to the responsibility of the Israeli Tax Authority and may, at their discretion, in order to provide greater certainty, elect to apply for a pre-ruling from the Israeli tax authorities confirming that they are in compliance with the provisions of the amended Investments Law and therefore are entitled to receive the benefits provided under the amended Investments Law. The amended Investments Law also specifies which income of the privileged enterprise is entitled to tax benefits (for example income generated from the sale of products that were manufactured by the privileged enterprise, income generated from usage right with respect to know-how developed by the privileged enterprise, etc.).

We cannot assure you that we will comply with the above conditions in the future or that we will be entitled to any additional benefits under the amended Investments Law.

In addition, the amended Investments Law changed the definition of “foreign investment” according to the Investments Law so that the definition, instead of a foreign currency investment, now requires a minimal investment of NIS 5 million by foreign investors. Furthermore, such definition now also includes the purchase of shares of a company from another shareholder (secondary market purchase), provided that the company’s outstanding and paid-up share capital exceed NIS 5 million. Such changes to the aforementioned definition will take effect retroactively from 2003.

To date, we have not utilized the benefits of the Investments Law, as amended subsequent to April 1, 2005, since we are utilizing carryforward losses from previous years for tax purposes.

In December 2010, the "Knesset" (Israeli Parliament) passed the Law for Economic Efficiency for 2011 and 2012 (Amended Legislation), 2011, which prescribes, among others, amendments in the Investment Law. The amendment became effective as of January 1, 2011. According to the amendment, the benefit tracks in the Investment Law were modified and a flat tax rate applies to the Company's entire preferred income. The Company will be able to apply (the waiver is non-recourse) the amendment and from then on it will be subject to the amended tax rates that are: 2011 and 2012 - 15%, 2013 and 2014 - 12.5% and in 2015 and thereafter - 12%.

The Company is not in a development area A. The Company is examining the possible effect of the amendment on the financial statements, if at all, and at this time has not yet decided whether to apply the amendment.

Special Provisions Relating to Taxation Under Inflationary Conditions

Under the Income Tax (Inflationary Adjustments) Law, of 1985, or the Adjustments Law, results for tax purposes are measured in real terms, in accordance with the changes in the Israeli Consumer Price Index (“Israeli CPI”). Accordingly, until 2004, results for tax purposes were measured in terms of earnings in NIS after certain adjustments for increases in the Israeli CPI. Commencing in taxable year 2005, our subsidiaries in Israel elected to measure their taxable income and file their tax returns under the Israeli Income Tax Regulations (Principles Regarding the Management of Books of Account of Foreign Invested Companies and Certain Partnerships and the Determination of Their Taxable Income), 1986. Such an election obligates our Israeli subsidiaries for three years. Accordingly, commencing taxable year 2005, results for tax purposes are measured in terms of earnings in dollar. Each year we submit a request to the Israeli tax authorities to extend the effect of the above regulations on our company for an additional year.

Tax Benefits for Research and Development

Israeli tax law allows, under specified conditions, a tax deduction for expenditures, including capital expenditures, for the year in which they are incurred. These expenses must relate to scientific research and development projects and must be approved by the relevant Israeli government ministry, determined by the field of research. Furthermore, the research and development must be for the promotion of the company’s business and carried out by or on behalf of the company seeking such tax deduction. However, the amount of such deductible expenses is reduced by the sum of funds received through government grants for the finance of such scientific research and development projects. Expenditures not so approved are deductible over a three-year period.

Transfer Pricing

As part of the Israeli 2003 tax reform, the Israeli Tax Ordinance was amended to include section 85A, dealing with international transactions transfer pricing. Section 85A provides that regardless of the actual conditions of an international transaction between related parties, the transaction shall be reported and taxed, based on the arm’s length standard, i.e. , based on market conditions in similar transactions between unrelated parties. On October 30, 2006, the Income Tax Regulations (Determination of Market Conditions), hereinafter referred to as the Regulations, which provide instructions for the implementation of section 85A, came into effect.

In accordance with the Regulations, a transaction shall be considered an international transaction if one of the parties is a “foreign resident” as defined thereunder or if the income generated from such transaction, in all or in part, is taxed both in and outside of Israel. The Regulations establish acceptable methods for comparison between transactions, and methods for calculating the price range against which the transaction is measured.

Taxpayers are required to include in their yearly income tax returns a report regarding their international transactions at arm’s length prices. The transfer pricing regulations have not had a material effect on the Company.

Taxation of Investments

The following discussion is a summary of certain anticipated tax consequences of an investment in the Common Shares under Curaçaotax laws, US federal income tax laws and Israeli laws. The discussion does not deal with all possible tax consequences relating to an investment in the Common Shares. In particular, the discussion does not address the tax consequences under state, local and other (e.g., non-US, non-Netherlands Antilles, non-Israel) tax laws. Accordingly, each prospective investor should consult its tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of an investment in the Common Shares. The discussion is based upon laws and relevant interpretations thereof in effect as of the date of this annual report on Form 20-F, all of which are subject to change.

CuraçaoTaxation

Under the laws of Curaçaoas currently in effect, a holder of Common Shares who is not resident of, and during the taxable year has not engaged in trade or business through a permanent establishment in, the Curaçaowill not be subject to Curaçao income tax on dividends paid with respect to the Common Shares or on gains realized during that year on sale or disposal of such shares; Curaçaodoes not impose a withholding tax on dividends paid by the Company. Under Curaçaolaw, no gift or inheritance taxes are levied if, at the time of such gift or at the time of death, the relevant holder of Common Shares was not domiciled in Curaçao.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

Subject to the limitations described herein, this discussion summarizes certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our Common Shares to a U.S. holder. A U.S. holder is a holder of our Common Shares who is:

an individual who is a citizen or resident of the U.S. for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

a corporation (or another entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized under the laws of the United States, any political subdivision thereof, or the District of Columbia;

an estate, the income of which may be included in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of its source; or

a trust (i) if, in general, a U.S. court is able to exercise primary supervision over its administration and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all of its substantial decisions or (ii) an electing trust that was in existence on August 19, 1996 and was treated as a domestic trust on that date.

Unless otherwise specifically indicated, this discussion does not consider the U.S. tax consequences to a person that is not a U.S. holder (a “non-U.S. holder”) and considers only U.S. holders that will own our Common Shares as capital assets (generally, for investment).

This discussion is based on current provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), current and proposed Treasury Regulations promulgated under the Code and administrative and judicial interpretations of the Code, all as currently in effect and all of which are subject to change, possibly with a retroactive effect. This discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to any particular U.S. holder based on the U.S. holder’s particular circumstances. In particular, this discussion does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. holders who are broker-dealers, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, grantor trusts, individual retirement and tax-deferred accounts, certain former citizens or long-term residents of the U.S., tax-exempt organizations, financial institutions , “financial service entities”or who own, directly, indirectly or constructively, 10% or more of our outstanding voting shares, U.S. holders holding our Common Shares as part of a hedging, straddle or conversion transaction, U.S. holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, U.S. holders that acquired our Common Shares upon the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation, and U.S holders who are persons subject to the alternative minimum tax, who may be subject to special rules not discussed below.

Additionally, the tax treatment of persons who are, or hold our Common Shares through a partnership or other pass-through entity is not considered, nor is the possible application of U.S. federal estate or gift taxes or any aspect of state, local or non-U.S. tax laws.

You are advised to consult your tax advisor with respect to the specific U.S. federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of purchasing, holding or disposing of our Common Shares.

Taxation of Distributions on Common Shares

Subject to the discussion below under “Tax Consequences if We Are a Passive Foreign Investment Company,” a distribution paid by us with respect to our Common Shares to a U.S. holder will be treated as dividend income to the extent that the distribution does not exceed our current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

For the taxable years of 2011 and 2012, dividends that are received by U.S. holders that are individuals, estates or trusts will generally qualify for a 15% reduced maximum tax rate, provided that such dividends meet the requirements of “qualified dividend income.” Unless the reduced rate provision is extended or made permanent or other changes are made by subsequent legislation, for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, dividends will be taxed at regular ordinary income rates.” For this purpose, qualified dividend income generally includes dividends paid by a foreign corporation if certain holding period and other requirements are met and either (a) the stock of the foreign corporation with respect to which the dividends are paid is “readily tradable” on an established securities market in the U.S. (e.g., the NASDAQ Capital Market) or (b) the foreign corporation is eligible for benefits of a comprehensive income tax treaty with the U.S. which includes an information exchange program and is determined to be satisfactory by the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury. The United States Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) has determined that the U.S.-Netherlands Antilles income tax treaty is not a comprehensive income tax treaty for this purpose. Dividends that fail to meet such requirements and dividends received by corporate U.S. holders are taxed at ordinary income rates. No dividend received by a U.S. holder will be a qualified dividend (i) if the U.S. holder held the Common Share with respect to which the dividend was paid for less than 61 days during the 121-day period beginning on the date that is 60 days before the ex-dividend date with respect to such dividend, excluding for this purpose, under the rules of Code Section 246(c), any period during which the U.S. holder has an option to sell, is under a contractual obligation to sell, has made (and not closed) a short sale of, is the grantor of a deep-in-the-money or otherwise nonqualified option to buy, or has otherwise diminished its risk of loss by holding other positions with respect to, such Common Share (or substantially identical securities); or (ii) to the extent that the U.S. holder is under an obligation (pursuant to a short sale or otherwise) to make related payments with respect to positions in property substantially similar or related to the Common Share with respect to which the dividend is paid. If we were to be a “passive foreign investment company” (as such term is defined in the Code), or “PFIC”, for any taxable year, dividends paid on our Common Shares in such year or in the following taxable year would not be qualified dividends. See the discussion below regarding our PFIC status under “Tax Consequences if We Are a Passive Foreign Investment Company.” In addition, a non-corporate U.S. holder will be able to take qualified dividend income into account in determining its deductible investment interest (which is generally limited to its net investment income) only if it elects to do so; in such case the dividend income will be taxed at ordinary income rates.

The amount of any distribution which exceeds the amount treated as a dividend will be treated first as a non-taxable return of capital, reducing the U.S. holder’s tax basis in our Common Shares to the extent thereof, and then as capital gain from the deemed disposition of the Common Shares. Corporate holders will not be allowed a deduction for dividends received in respect of the Common Shares.

Distributions of current or accumulated earnings and profits paid in foreign currency to a U.S. holder will be includible in the income of a U.S. holder in a U.S. dollar amount calculated by reference to the exchange rate on the day the distribution is received. A U.S. holder that receives a foreign currency distribution and converts the foreign currency into U.S. dollars subsequent to receipt may have foreign exchange gain or loss based on any appreciation or depreciation in the value of the foreign currency against the U.S. dollar, which will generally be U.S. source ordinary income or loss.

Taxation of the Disposition of Common Shares

Subject to the discussion below under “Tax Consequences if We Are a Passive Foreign Investment Company,” upon the sale, exchange or other disposition of our Common Shares, a U.S. holder will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized on the disposition and the U.S. holder’s tax basis in our Common Shares. The gain or loss recognized on the disposition of the Common Shares will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder held the Common Shares for more than one year at the time of the disposition and would be eligible for a reduced rate of taxation for certain non-corporate U.S. holders (currently a maximum rate of 15% for taxable years for a holding period ending in taxable years beginning before January 1, 2013 and a maximum rate of 20% thereafter. Capital gain from the sale, exchange or other disposition of Common Shares held for one year or less is short-term capital gain and taxed as ordinary income. Gain or loss recognized by a U.S. holder on a sale, exchange or other disposition of our Common Shares generally will be treated as U.S. source income or loss. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to certain limitations.

A U.S. holder that uses the cash method of accounting calculates the dollar value of the proceeds received on the sale as of the date that the sale settles. However, a U.S. holder that uses the accrual method of accounting is required to calculate the value of the proceeds of the sale as of the trade date and may therefore realize foreign currency gain or loss. A U.S. holder that uses the accrual method may avoid realizing foreign currency gain or loss by electing to use the settlement date to determine the proceeds of sale for purposes of calculating the foreign currency gain or loss. In addition, a U.S. holder that receives foreign currency upon disposition of its Common Shares and converts the foreign currency into dollars after the settlement date or trade date (whichever date the U.S. holder is required to use to calculate the value of the proceeds of sale) may have foreign exchange gain or loss based on any appreciation or depreciation in the value of the foreign currency against the dollar, which will generally be U.S. source ordinary income or loss.

Tax Consequences if We Are a Passive Foreign Investment Company

We would be a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for a taxable year if either (1) 75% or more of our gross income in the taxable year is passive income; or (2) the average percentage (by value determined on a quarterly basis) in a taxable year of our assets that produce, or are held for the production of, passive income is at least 50%. Passive income for this purpose generally includes, among other things, certain dividends, interest, royalties, rents and gains from commodities and securities transactions and from the sale or exchange of property that gives rise to passive income. If we own (directly or indirectly) at least 25% by value of the stock of another corporation, we would be treated for purposes of the foregoing tests as owning our proportionate share of the other corporation’s assets and as directly earning our proportionate share of the other corporation’s income. As discussed below, we believe that we were not a PFIC for 2010.

If we were a PFIC, each U.S. holder would (unless it made one of the elections discussed below on a timely basis) be taxable on gain recognized from the disposition of our Common Shares (including gain deemed recognized if our Common Shares are used as security for a loan) and upon receipt of certain excess distributions (generally, distributions that exceed 125% of the average amount of distributions in respect to such shares received during the preceding three taxable years or, if shorter, during the U.S. holder’s holding period prior to the distribution year) with respect to our Common Shares as if such income had been recognized ratably over the U.S. holder’s holding period for the shares. The U.S. holder’s income for the current taxable year would include (as ordinary income) amounts allocated to the current taxable year and to any taxable year prior to the first day of the first taxable year for which we were a PFIC. Tax would also be computed at the highest ordinary income tax rate in effect for each other taxable year to which income is allocated, and an interest charge on the tax as so computed would also apply. The tax liability with respect to the amount allocated to the taxable year prior to the taxable year of the distribution or disposition cannot be offset by any net operating losses. Additionally, if we were a PFIC, U.S. holders who acquire our Common Shares from decedents (other than nonresident aliens) would be denied the normally-available step-up in basis for such shares to fair market value at the date of death and, instead, would have a tax basis in such shares equal to the lesser of the decedent’s basis or the fair market value of such shares on the decedent's date of death. .

As an alternative to the tax treatment described above, a U.S. holder could elect to treat us as a “qualified electing fund” (a “QEF”), in which case the U.S. holder would be taxed, for each taxable year that we are a PFIC, on its pro rata share of our ordinary earnings and net capital gain (subject to a separate election to defer payment of taxes, which deferral is subject to an interest charge). Special rules apply if a U.S. holder makes a QEF election after the first taxable year in its holding period in which we are a PFIC. We have agreed to supply U.S. holders with the information needed to report income and gain under a QEF election if we were a PFIC. Amounts includable in income as a result of a QEF election will be determined without regard to our prior year losses or the amount of cash distributions, if any, received from us. A U.S. holder’s basis in its Common Shares will increase by any amount included in income and decrease by any amounts not included in income when distributed because such amounts were previously taxed under the QEF rules. So long as a U.S. holder’s QEF election is in effect with respect to the entire holding period for its Common Shares, any gain or loss realized by such holder on the disposition of its Common Shares held as a capital asset generally will be capital gain or loss. Such capital gain or loss ordinarily would be long-term if such U.S. holder had held such Common Shares for more than one year at the time of the disposition and would be eligible for a reduced rate of taxation for certain non-corporate U.S. holders (currently a maximum rate of 15% for a holding period ending in taxable years beginning before January 1, 2013 and a maximum rate of 20% thereafter). The QEF election is made on a shareholder-by-shareholder basis, applies to all Common Shares held or subsequently acquired by an electing U.S. holder and can be revoked only with the consent of the IRS.

As an alternative to making a QEF election, a U.S. holder of PFIC stock that is “marketable stock” (e.g., “regularly traded” on the NASDAQ Capital Market) may, in certain circumstances, avoid certain of the tax consequences generally applicable to holders of stock in a PFIC by electing to mark the stock to market as of the beginning of such U.S. holder’s holding period for our Common Shares. Special rules apply if a U.S. holder makes a mark-to-market election after the first year in its holding period in which we are a PFIC. As a result of such an election, in any taxable year that we are a PFIC, a U.S. holder would generally be required to report gain or loss to the extent of the difference between the fair market value of the Common Shares at the end of the taxable year and such U.S. holder’s tax basis in such shares at that time. Any gain under this computation, and any gain on an actual disposition of our Common Shares in a taxable year in which we are PFIC, would be treated as ordinary income. Any loss under this computation, and any loss on an actual disposition of our Common Shares in a taxable year in which we are PFIC, would be treated as ordinary loss to the extent of the cumulative net-mark-to-market gain previously included. Any remaining loss from marking our Common Shares to market will not be allowed, and any remaining loss from an actual disposition of our Common Shares generally would be capital loss. A U.S. holder’s tax basis in its Common Shares is adjusted annually for any gain or loss recognized under the mark-to-market election. There can be no assurances that there will be sufficient trading volume with respect to our Common Shares for the Common Shares to be considered “regularly traded” or that our Common Shares will continue to trade on the NASDAQ Capital Market. Accordingly, there are no assurances that our Common Shares will be marketable stock for these purposes. As with a QEF election, a mark-to-market election is made on a shareholder-by-shareholder basis, applies to all Common Shares held or subsequently acquired by an electing U.S. holder and can only be revoked with consent of the IRS (except to the extent our Common Shares no longer constitute “marketable stock”).

Based on an analysis of our assets and income, we believe that we were not a PFIC for 2010. We currently expect that we will not be a PFIC in 2011. The tests for determining PFIC status are applied annually and it is difficult to make accurate predictions of future income and assets, which are relevant to this determination. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will not become a PFIC in any future taxable years. U.S. holders who hold our Common Shares during a period when we are a PFIC will be subject to the foregoing rules, even if we cease to be a PFIC, subject to certain exceptions for U.S. holders who made QEF, mark-to-market or certain other special elections. U.S. holders are urged to consult their tax advisors about the PFIC rules, including the consequences to them of making a mark-to-market or QEF election with respect to our Common Shares in the event that we qualify as a PFIC.

Non-U.S. holders of Common Shares

Except as provided below, a non-U.S. holder of our Common Shares will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax on the receipt of dividends on, or the proceeds from the disposition of, our Common Shares, unless, in the case of U.S. federal income taxes, that item is effectively connected with the conduct by the non-U.S. holder of a trade or business in the United States and, in the case of a resident of a country which has an income tax treaty with the United States, such item is attributable to a permanent establishment in the United States or, in the case of an individual, a fixed place of business in the United States. In addition, gain recognized on the disposition of our Common Shares by an individual non-U.S. holder will be subject to tax in the United States if the non-U.S. holder is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the sale and certain other conditions are met.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

A U.S. holder generally is subject to information reporting and may be subject to backup withholding at a rate of up to 28% (through 2010) with respect to dividend payments on, or receipt of the proceeds from the disposition of, our Common Shares. Backup withholding will not apply with respect to payments made to exempt recipients, including corporations and tax-exempt organizations, or if a U.S. holder provides a correct taxpayer identification number, certifies that such holder is not subject to backup withholding or otherwise establishes an exemption. Non-U.S. holders are not subject to information reporting or backup withholding with respect to dividend payments on, or receipt of the proceeds from the disposition of, our Common Shares in the U.S., or by a U.S. payor or U.S. middleman, provided that such non-U.S. holder provides a taxpayer identification number, certifies to its foreign status, or otherwise establishes an exemption. Backup withholding is not an additional tax and may be claimed as a credit against the U.S. federal income tax liability of a holder, or alternatively, the holder may be eligible for a refund of any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules, in either case, provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS.

Israeli Tax Considerations

Israeli Holders of Common Shares

Capital Gains From the Sale of Shares

Israeli law generally imposes a capital gains tax on the sale of capital assets by residents of Israel, as defined for Israeli tax purposes, and on the sale of assets located in Israel, including shares in Israeli companies, by both residents and non-residents of Israel, unless a specific exemption is available or unless a tax treaty between Israel and the shareholder’s country of residence provides otherwise. The law distinguishes between the “Real Gain” and the “Inflationary Surplus”. The Inflationary Surplus is a portion of the total capital gain which is equivalent to the increase of the relevant asset’s purchase price which is attributable to the increase in the Israeli CPI or, in certain circumstances, a foreign currency exchange rate, between the date of purchase and the date of sale. The Real Gain is the excess of the total capital gain over the Inflationary Surplus.

As of January 1, 2006, the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance was amended (via the Law for Amendment of the Income Tax Ordinance (No. 147), 5765-2005) to provide that an individual is subject to a 20% tax rate on real capital gains derived from the sale of shares, as long as the individual has not demanded a deduction of interest and linkage differences in connection with the purchase and holding of the securities; and as long as the individual is not considered as a "substantial shareholder" of the company issuing the shares, i.e., a shareholder who holds directly or indirectly, including with others, at least 10% of any means of control in the company. A substantial shareholder (or a shareholder who has demanded a deduction of interest and linkage differences) will be subject to tax at a rate of 25% on real capital gains derived from the sale of shares issued by the company. The determination of whether the individual is a substantial shareholder will be made on the date that the securities are sold. In addition, the individual will be deemed to be a substantial shareholder if at any time during the twelve months preceding such date he or she had been a substantial shareholder. Israeli companies are subject to the corporate tax rate on capital gains derived from the sale of shares, unless such companies were not subject to the Income Tax Law (Adjustment for Inflation) 1985 (the "Adjustments Law") (or certain regulations) at the time of publication of the aforementioned Law for Amendment of the Income Tax Ordinance (No. 147), 5765-2005, in which case the applicable tax rate is 25%. The foregoing tax rates, however, will not apply to (i) dealers in securities; and (ii) shareholders who acquired their shares prior to an initial public offering (which shares may be subject to a different tax arrangement).

The tax basis of shares acquired prior to January 1, 2003 will be determined in accordance with the average closing share price in the three trading days preceding January 1, 2003. However, a request may be made to the tax authorities to consider the actual adjusted cost of the shares as the tax basis if it is higher than such average price.

In some instances where our shareholders may be liable for Israeli tax on the sale of our Common Shares, the payment of the consideration may be subject to the withholding of Israeli tax at the source.

Rate of Tax Applicable to Income from Dividends on Shares

In general, those individuals who are residents of Israel will owe tax at a rate of 20% on dividends received in connection with our Common Shares. Yet, individuals who are “significant shareholders” (see above) at the time of receiving the dividend, or at any time during the 12-month period preceding the receipt of dividend, will be subject to a tax rate of 25%. The tax rate in respect of dividends received by Israeli companies is, in general, 0%, but dividends that are derived from sources outside of Israel or that are generated or produced outside of Israel will be taxed at a rate of 25%. Dividends received by a taxable mutual fund will be subject to the 20% tax rate of an Israeli resident individual (for whom the income is not classified as “business” income). Generally, exempt mutual funds, pension funds and other entities that are exempt from tax under Section 9(2) of the Israeli Tax Ordinance are exempt from tax on such dividends. A “taxable mutual fund” is defined in the Israeli Tax Ordinance as a mutual fund whose agreement or prospectus irrevocably states that the fund is a mutual fund subject to tax. An “exempt mutual fund” is defined as a mutual fund whose agreement or prospectus irrevocably states that the fund is a mutual fund exempt from tax.

Non- Israeli Holders

Generally, Israeli income tax will not apply to income, including capital gains dividends, which is realized by a non-Israeli resident who has purchased securities from a non-Israeli resident corporation, provided that (i) the non-Israeli resident corporation is not deemed an Israeli resident corporation for tax purposes; (ii) the securities are not deemed as a right to assets in Israel (i.e., the consolidated assets of the corporation are substantially located in Israel); and (iii) the income is not derived from a permanent establishment of the non-Israeli resident purchaser in Israel.

Although we are not registered and/or incorporated in Israel, the Israeli Tax Authority may contend that the "control and management" of our business is exercised in Israel and, therefore, we are considered a resident of Israel for tax purposes. In general, the test of “control and management” seeks to determine where the company’s policy is set and where its strategic resolutions are accepted. Accordingly, what is examined is the place in which the ability to direct and determine the business policy of the company is realized and the place in which the resolutions allowing the business of the company to be carried-out are accepted. The test of “control and management” is determined every tax year. Furthermore, since a substantial portion of our assets are located in Israel, our shares may be deemed by the Israeli Tax Authority as a right to assets in Israel. It should be noted that Israeli tax law does not provide clear guidelines regarding the manner in which the Israeli and non-Israeli assets of a non-Israeli company should be measured for purposes of determining whether the assets of such company are substantially located in Israel and whether its shares are deemed a right to assets in Israel. Therefore, it is uncertain whether our shares would be considered a right to assets in Israel.

In the event that we are classified as an Israeli resident corporation or our shares are deemed a right to assets in Israel, the following tax consequences would be applicable to non-Israeli residents who purchased our securities.

Capital Gains From the Sale of Shares

Non-Israeli residents, including U.S. resident purchasers, are generally exempt from Israeli capital gains tax on any gains derived from the sale of securities publicly traded on NASDAQ, whether such sold securities are of an Israeli resident corporation or of a non-Israeli resident corporation, provided such gains are not derived from a permanent establishment of such shareholders in Israel. However, non-Israeli corporations selling such securities, including U.S. resident corporations, will not be entitled to such an exemption if an Israeli resident (i) has a controlling interest of 25% or more in the non-Israeli corporation, or (ii) if the beneficiary is directly or indirectly entitled to 25% or more of the revenues or profits of the non-Israeli corporation.

In addition, pursuant to certain treaties to which the Government of Israel is a party, the sale, exchange or disposition of common shares may not be subject to Israeli capital gains tax, in according with the terms of such treaties.

For example, pursuant to the Convention between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of Israel with respect to Taxes on Income, or U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty, the sale, exchange or disposition of common shares by a person who qualifies as a “resident of the United States” within its meaning under the U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty and who is entitled to claim the benefits afforded to such person by the U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty, which person is referred to for purposes of this tax discussion as “Treaty U.S. Resident,” generally will not be subject to Israeli capital gains tax unless such Treaty U.S. Resident holds, directly or indirectly, shares representing 10% or more of the voting power during any part of the 12-month period preceding such sale, exchange or disposition. Moreover, subject to particular conditions, the capital gains from such sale, exchange or disposition can be allocated to a permanent establishment of such Treaty U.S. Resident in Israel. In such cases, subject to the limitations of U.S. laws applicable to foreign tax credits, the Treaty U.S. Resident would be subject to Israeli tax, to the extent applicable; however, under the U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty, such Treaty U.S. Resident would be permitted to claim a credit for such taxes against the U.S. federal income tax imposed with respect to such sale, exchange or disposition.

Therefore, the exemption under the Israeli Tax Ordinance may be the only exemption from Israeli tax available to non-Israeli shareholders. Accordingly, non-Israeli resident purchasers who, in light of the existence or lack of existence of certain conditions, are unable to benefit from a treaty, may wish to utilize a special exemption on capital gains arising from the sale of shares in an Israeli company (including companies which are deemed an Israeli resident corporation for tax purposes) or from sale of rights in a foreign resident corporate entity most of whose assets constitute rights, directly or indirectly, to assets located in Israel, subject to fulfillment of all of the following conditions:

(a)	the capital gain is not derived in a permanent establishment of the foreign resident in Israel;

(b)	the shares were not purchased from a relative (as defined in the Israeli Tax Ordinance) and were not subject to Part E-2 of the Israeli Tax Ordinance or provisions of Section 70 of the Property Taxes Law;

(c)	the shares were not traded on a stock exchange in Israel as of the sale.

Shareholders who wish to benefit from this additional exemption would therefore be advised to approach the Israeli Tax Authority within 30 days of the purchase of shares in the Company.

In the event that the exceptions to the capital gains tax do not apply to a non-Israeli resident purchaser, upon the realization of gain from the sale of our shares, such non-Israeli resident purchaser will be subject to the tax rates described above under “Israeli Holders - Capital Gains From the Sale of Shares.”

Rate of Tax Applicable to Income from Dividends on Shares

Non-residents of Israel are subject to income tax on income accrued or derived from sources in Israel. Such sources of income include passive income, such as dividends on shares of an Israeli resident corporation.

Under Israeli tax law, distributions of dividends are generally subject to withholding tax at the rates indicated above under “Israeli Holders - Rate of Tax Applicable to Income from Dividends on Shares.” However, the tax rates in the event of a distribution of dividends to a foreign resident are subject to relevant provisions of the applicable treaty for the avoidance of double taxation between Israel and the country of residency of the foreign resident. For U.S. resident purchasers, who qualify as Treaty U.S. Residents under the U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty, the maximum rate of tax on dividends paid to a holder of common shares is 25%; however, the tax rate is generally reduced to 12.5% if the shareholder is a U.S. corporation and holds at least 10% of the issued voting power during the whole of its prior tax year, as well as during the part of the tax year that precedes the date of payment of the dividend, and not more than 25% of the gross income consists of interest or dividends.

H. Documents on Display.

We are currently subject to the information and periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act that are applicable to foreign private issuers. Although as a foreign private issuer we are not required to file periodic information as frequently or as promptly as United States companies, we generally do publicly announce our quarterly and year-end results promptly and file periodic information with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission under cover of Form 6-K. As a foreign private issuer, we are also exempt from the rules under the Exchange Act prescribing the furnishing and content of proxy statements and our officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and other provisions in Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Our SEC filings are filed electronically on the EDGAR reporting system and may be obtained through that medium. You may inspect without charge and copy at prescribed rates such filings, including any exhibits and schedules, at the public reference facilities maintained by the SEC, 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. You may also obtain copies of such materials from the SEC at prescribed rates. The SEC also maintains a web site that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding registrants that file electronically with the SEC. The address of this web site is http://www.sec.gov. You may call the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330 for further information on the public reference rooms. The Exchange Act file number for our Securities and Exchange Commission filings is 000-20181.

ITEM 11.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Market risks relating to our operations result primarily from changes in exchange rates, interest rates or weak economic conditions in the markets in which we sell our products and services. We have been and we are actively monitoring these potential exposures. To manage the volatility relating to these exposures, we may enter into various forward contracts or other hedging instruments. Our objective is to reduce, where it is deemed appropriate to do so, fluctuations in earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign currency rates and interest rates.

Foreign Currency Risk. We conduct our business in various foreign currencies, primarily those of Israel and the United Kingdom, and to a lesser extent of Japan, Europe and Canada. A devaluation of the NIS, GBP, Euro and the Japanese Yen in relation to the US dollar has the effect of reducing the US dollar amount of any of our expenses or liabilities which are payable in those currencies (unless such expenses or payables are linked to the US dollar) while reducing the US Dollar amount of any of our revenues which are payable to us in those currencies.

Because exchange rates between the NIS, GBP, Euro and the Japanese Yen against the US dollar fluctuate continuously, exchange rate fluctuations and especially larger periodic devaluations will have an impact on our profitability and period-to-period comparisons of our results. The effects of foreign currency re-measurements are reflected as financial expenses in our consolidated financial statements. A hypothetical 10% movement in foreign currency rates (primarily the NIS, GBP, Euro and Japanese Yen) against the US dollar, with all other variables held constant on the expected sales, would result in a decrease or increase in expected 2011 sales revenues of approximately $4.4 million.

We monitor our foreign currency exposure and, from time to time, may enter into currency forward contracts or put/call currency options to hedge balance sheet exposure. We may use such contracts to hedge exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates associated with balance sheet balances denominated in a foreign currency and anticipated costs to be incurred in a foreign currency. See Item 5E for details of foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements entered into during 2010.

Market Risk . We currently do not invest in, or otherwise hold, for trading or other purposes, any financial instruments subject to market risk.

Interest Rate Risk. We pay interest on our credit facilities, convertible notes and short-term loans based on LIBOR, for dollar-denominated loans, and the prime interest rate in Israel, for some of our NIS-denominated loans. As a result, changes in the general level of interest rates directly affect the amount of interest payable by us under these facilities. However, we expect our exposure to risk from changes in interest rates to be minimal and not material. Therefore, no quantitative tabular disclosures are required.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

A. Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this annual report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on such evaluation, the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

B. Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework and criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2010. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there can be no assurance that our internal control over financial reporting will detect or uncover all failures of persons within the Company to comply with our internal procedures, as all internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective may not prevent or detect misstatements.

D. Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Based on the evaluation conducted by our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) under the Exchange Act, our management has concluded that there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2010 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.

Policies and Procedures

Our Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures for the pre-approval of audit and non-audit services rendered by our independent auditors, Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer, a member of Ernst & Young Global. The policies generally require the Audit Committee’s pre-approval of the scope of the engagement of our independent auditors or additional work performed on an individual basis. The policy prohibits retention of the independent auditors to perform the prohibited non-audit functions defined in Section 201 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or the rules of the SEC and also provides that the Audit Committee consider whether proposed services are compatible with the independence of the public auditors. During 2009 and 2010, 100% of the fees for services rendered by the Company’s independent auditors were pre-approved by the Audit Committee, in accordance with these procedures.

Fees Paid to Independent Auditors

The following table sets forth, for each of the years indicated, the aggregate fees billed by our independent auditors for types of services indicated:

	Year ended December 31,
	2010		2009
	(in thousands)
Audit Fees (1)	$	212	$	202
Tax Fees (2)	$	64	$	33
All Other Fees (3)	$	17	$	8

Total	$	293	$	243

(1)

Audit Fees consist of fees billed for the annual audit and the quarterly reviews of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and consist of services that would normally be provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements, including services that generally only the independent auditors can reasonably provide.

(2)	Tax Fees relate to tax compliance, planning and advice.

(3)	All Other Fees consist of services related to stock options and value added tax (VAT) related matters.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE.

We are exempt from a number of the requirements under the Nasdaq Listing Rules based on our status as a "controlled company." See Item 6.C below “Board Practices— NASDAQ Exemptions for a Controlled Company.”

We have elected to follow our home country practice in lieu of the requirements set forth in NASDAQ Listing Rule 5250(d)(1) which require a domestic United States company to make available to its shareholders a copy of its annual report containing its audited financial statements in one of three specific ways. Instead of distributing copies of our annual report by mail, furnishing an annual report in accordance with Rule 14a-16 under the Exchange Act or posting our annual report on our website and undertaking to provide a hard copy thereof free of charge upon request, we simply make our annual report available to shareholders via our website (http://www.sapiens.com/AnnualReports/).

We have also elected to follow our home country practice in lieu of the requirements of NASDAQ Listing Rules 5605(b), (d) and (e) which require:

●	The majority of the company’s board of directors must qualify as independent directors, as defined under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) and that the independent directors have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.

●

●	Director nominees must either be selected or recommended for the board of directors’ selection, either by (a) a majority of independent directors or (b) a nominations committee comprised solely of independent directors (subject to limited exceptions).

●	The company must certify that it has adopted a formal written charter or board resolution, as applicable, addressing the nominations process and such related matters as may be required under US federal securities laws.

We have also elected to follow our home country practice in lieu of the requirements set forth in of NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635 which require a domestic United States Company to obtain shareholder approval for certain dilutive events, such as for the establishment or amendment of certain equity based compensation plans and arrangements, an issuance that will result in a change of control of the company, certain transactions other than a public offering involving issuances of a 20% or more interest in the company and certain acquisitions of the stock or assets of another company.

We have submitted to NASDAQ a written statement from our independent Curaçao counsel which certified that our practice of not making the annual report available in accordance with NASDAQ rules, but rather making it available on our website, our not complying with the requirements of NASDAQ Listing Rules 5605(b), (d) and (e) and not obtaining the shareholder approvals required under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635 are not prohibited by Curaçao law.

REPORT OF INDE PEN DENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

SAPIENS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION N.V.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sapiens International Corporation N.V. ("the Company") and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2010 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2010 and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in United States ("U.S. GAAP").

Use of estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company's management believes that the estimates, judgments and assumptions used are reasonable based upon information available at the time they are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2:

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

Financial statements in U.S. dollars:

A substantial portion of the financing of the Company's activities is made in U.S. dollars ("dollar"). In addition, a substantial portion of the Company's and certain of its subsidiaries' costs are incurred in dollars. A majority of the revenues of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries is generated in dollars. The Company's management believes that the dollar is the primary currency of the economic environment in which the Company and those subsidiaries operate. Thus, the functional and reporting currency of the Company and these subsidiaries is the dollar.

Accordingly, monetary accounts maintained in currencies other than the dollar are re-measured into dollars in accordance with Accounting Codification Statement ("ASC") 830 (formerly SFAS No. 52), "Foreign Currency Matters". All transaction gains and losses of the re-measurement of monetary balance sheet items are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations as financial expenses, net.

The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries, whose functional currency is not the dollar, have been translated into dollars. All balance sheet accounts have been translated using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Statements of operations amounts have been translated using the average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in equity.

Foreign currency translation differences included in financial expenses net, amounted to approximately $ 336, $ 44 and $ 143 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively. See Note 15b for financial expenses.

Principles of consolidation:

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Cash equivalents:

Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash, with maturities of three months or less at the date of acquisition.

Allowance for doubtful accounts:

The allowance is determined based on management's evaluation of receivables that are doubtful of collection on a specific basis.

Property and equipment, net:

Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Equipment and furniture	4 - 15 years
Computer equipment and software	3 years
Motor vehicles	7 years
Leasehold improvements	Over the shorter of the term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset

Impairment of long-lived assets:

The Company's long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 360 (formerly SFAS No. 144), "Property, Plant, and Equipment", whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. During 2008, 2009 and 2010, no impairment losses have been identified.

Capitalized software development costs:

Research and development costs incurred in the process of developing new products or product improvements, are charged to expense as incurred.

ASC 985 (formerly SFAS No. 86), "Software", requires capitalization of certain software development costs subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility. Based on the Company's product development process, technological feasibility is generally established upon completion of a detailed program design.

Significant costs incurred by the Company and its subsidiaries between the establishment of technological feasibility and the point at which the product is ready for general release, have been capitalized.

The changes in capitalized software development costs during the year ended December 31, 2010 were as follows:

	Capitalized software development costs

Balance as of January 1, 2010	$	13,540
Capitalized software development costs		5,387
Amortization of software development costs		(5,869	)
Effect of exchange rate differences		764

Balance as of December 31, 2010	$	13,822

As for finance expense capitalization, see Note 6a.

Capitalized software costs are amortized by the greater of the amount computed using: (i) the ratio that current gross revenues from sales of the software bear to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues from sales of that software, or (ii) the straight-line method between three to five years, which is the estimated useful life of the respective software product. The Company assesses the recoverability of this intangible asset on an annual basis by determining whether the amortization of the asset over its remaining life can be recovered through undiscounted future operating cash flows from the specific software product sold.

For the years ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010, no impairment of capitalized software development costs exists.

Goodwill:

Goodwill represents excess of the costs over the net assets of businesses acquired. Under ASC 350 (formerly SFAS No. 142), "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other", goodwill acquired in a business combination should not be amortized. ASC 350 requires goodwill to be tested for impairment at least annually or between annual tests in certain circumstances, and written down when impaired, rather than being amortized as previous accounting standards required. Goodwill is allocated to one reporting unit and fair values are determined using market capitalization. Through 2010, no impairment losses were identified.

Intangible assets:

Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method for a period of 4-8 years.

During 2008, 2009 and 2010, no impairment losses have been identified.

Revenue recognition:

Product revenues include software license sales and may also include implementation and customization services with respect to such software license sales. In addition, the Company also provides consulting services that are not deemed essential to the functionality of the license, as well as outsourcing IT services.

The Company recognizes revenue from software license sales in accordance with ASC 985-605 (formerly SOP 97-2), "Software Revenue Recognition", with respect to certain transactions. Under ASC 985-605, revenues from software product licenses are recognized upon delivery of the software provided there is persuasive evidence of an agreement, the fee is fixed or determinable, collection of the related receivable is probable and no further obligations exist. Revenues under multiple-element arrangements, which may include software licenses, support and maintenance, and training and consulting services, are allocated to each element under the "residual method" when Vendor Specific Objective Evidence ("VSOE") of fair value exists for all undelivered elements and VSOE does not exist for all of the delivered elements. VSOE is determined for support and maintenance, training and consulting services based on the price charged when the respective elements are sold separately or renewed. The Company charges support and maintenance renewals at a fixed percentage of the total price of the licensed software products purchased by the customer. Under the residual method, the Company defers revenues related to the undelivered elements based on their VSOE of fair value and recognizes the remaining arrangement fee for the delivered elements.

When VSOE of fair value for undelivered elements does not exist, revenues from the entire arrangement are recognized over the term of the agreement.

Revenues from support and maintenance agreements are recognized ratably over the term of the agreement, which is typically one year. Revenues from training arrangements are recognized as the services are performed.

The Company generally does not grant a right of return to its customers. When a right of return exists, revenue is deferred until the right of return expires, at which time revenue is recognized provided that all other revenue recognition criteria are met.

NOTE 2:

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

Amounts collected prior to satisfying the above revenue recognition criteria are reflected as deferred revenue. Deferred revenue represents deferred maintenance revenue, and to a lesser extent, deferred software license revenues.

Under certain circumstances, license revenue consists of license fees received, whereby under the terms of these license agreements the Company's software is modified to a customer's specific requirements. Each license is designed to meet the specific requirements of the particular customer. Fees are payable upon completion of agreed-upon milestones, such as delivery of specifications and technical documentation.

Revenues from license fees that involve implementation and customization of the Company's software to customer specific requirements are generated from fixed-price or time-and-materials contracts. Such revenues generated from fixed-price contracts are recognized in accordance with ASC 605-35 (formerly SOP 81-1), "Revenue Recognition - Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts". Fixed-price contracts revenues are recognized using contract accounting on a percentage-of-completion method, over the period from signing of the license until customer acceptance, in accordance with the "Input Method" or "Output Method". The amounts of revenues recognized are based on the total license fees under the license agreement and the percentage to completion achieved. According to the "Input Method", the percentage to completion is measured by monitoring progress using records of actual time incurred to date in the project compared to the total estimated project requirement, which corresponds to the costs related to earned revenues. According to the "Output Method", the percentage to completion is determined by using technological or time-based milestones methods. The Company uses the "Input Method" when it has an enforceable right to services performed between milestones during the project.

The Company believes that the use of the percentage of completion method is appropriate as the Company has the ability to make reasonably dependable estimates of the extent of progress towards completion, contract revenues and contract costs. In addition, contracts executed include provisions that clearly specify the enforceable rights regarding services to be provided and received by the parties to the contracts, the consideration to be exchanged and the manner and the terms of settlement, including in cases of termination for convenience. In all cases, the Company expects to perform its contractual obligations and its customers are expected to satisfy their obligations under the contract.

Estimates of total project requirements are based on prior experience of customization, delivery and acceptance of the same or similar technology, and are reviewed and updated regularly by management. After delivery, if uncertainty exists about customer acceptance of the software, license revenue is not recognized until acceptance. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are first determined, in the amount of the estimated loss on the entire contract. As of December 31, 2010, no estimated losses were identified. Under time-and-materials contracts, the Company is reimbursed for labor hours at fixed hourly billing rates, and recognizes revenues as the services are provided.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

Estimated gross profit or loss from long-term contracts may change due to changes in estimates resulting from differences between actual performance and original forecasts. Such changes in estimated gross profit are recorded in results of operations when they are reasonably determinable by management, on a cumulative catch-up basis.

Consulting services provided on a "time and materials" basis or on a "fixed-fee" basis that are not deemed essential to the functionality of the license are recognized as services are performed.

IT outsourcing services that mainly include maintenance of customers' applications integrated on the Company's license performed on a fixed fee basis are recognized on a straight line basis over the contractual period that the services are rendered, since no other pattern of outputs is discernible. Revenues from IT outsourcing services that are performed on a "time and materials" basis are recognized as services are performed.

Investment in affiliate:

For the purposes of these financial statements, an affiliated company is a company held to the extent of 20% or more, or a company less than 20% held, in which the Company can exercise significant influence over the affiliate's operating and financial policies. If the Company lacks the ability to exercise significant influence over the affiliate's operating and financial policies, the investment should be accounted for on a cost basis.

The Company's investments are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an investment may not be recoverable. As of December 31, 2010, the Company's investments are accounted for on a cost basis and no impairment losses have been identified.

Advertising expenses:

Advertising expenses are charged to the statement of operations as incurred.

Income taxes:

The Company and its subsidiaries account for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740 (formerly SFAS 109), "Income Taxes". This Statement prescribes the use of the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liability account balances are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company and its subsidiaries provide a valuation allowance, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to their estimated realizable value.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

Concentrations of credit risk:

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, and trade receivables.

The Company's cash and cash equivalents are invested in deposits with major international financial institutions. Such deposits in the United States may be in excess of insured limits and are not insured in other jurisdictions. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and, therefore, bear minimal risk. Management believes that the financial institutions that hold the Company's investments are institutions with high credit standing, and accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to these investments.

The Company's trade receivables are generally derived from sales to large and solid organizations located mainly in Europe, North America and Israel. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and has established an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers and other information. In certain circumstances, the Company may require letters of credit, other collateral or additional guarantees.

No off-balance sheet concentrations of credit risk exist.

Fair value of financial instruments:

The carrying amounts of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value because of their generally short-term maturities.

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted ASC 820 (formerly SFAS 157), "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures". ASC 820 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC 820 establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

Level 1-

Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2-

Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

Level 3-

Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

The Company valued the level 3 earn-out payment, which resulted from the fair value of Harcase' estimated future consideration based on a valuation using the discounted cash flow model. Unobservable inputs used in this model are significant to the fair value of the asset.

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

Derivatives and hedging:

Accounting Codification Statement No. 815 (formerly SFAS No. 133), "Derivatives and Hedging", as amended, requires the Company to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives are either offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative's change in fair value is immediately recognized in earnings. The Company uses derivatives to hedge certain cash flow foreign currency exposures in order to further reduce the Company's exposure to foreign currency risks.

The Company enters into put option contracts to hedge certain transactions denominated in foreign currencies. The purpose of the Company's foreign currency hedging activities is to protect the Company from risk that the eventual dollar cash flows from international activities will be adversely affected by changes in the exchange rates. The Company's put option contracts did not qualify as hedging instruments under ASC 815.

Changes in the fair value of put option contracts are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations as financial income or expense.

In 2008, 2009 and 2010, the Company entered into put option contracts in the amount of $ 10,800, $ 5,800 and $ 1,409, respectively that converted a portion of its floating currency liabilities to a fixed rate basis for a six-month period, thus reducing the impact of the currency changes on the Company's cash flow. In addition, in 2010, the Company entered into forward contracts in the amount of $ 2,020 that converted a portion of its floating currency liabilities to a fixed rate basis for a six-month period, thus reducing the impact of the currency changes on the Company's cash flow. In 2008, 2009 and 2010, the Company recorded a loss of $ 179, $ 28 and $ 67, respectively, with respect to the above transactions, presented in the statements of operations as financial expense, net.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

Basic and diluted net earnings (loss) per share:

Basic and diluted net earnings (loss) per share are presented in accordance with ASC Topic 260, "Earnings per Share", for all periods presented.

Basic net earnings (loss) per share have been computed using the weighted-average number of Common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted net earnings (loss) per share are computed based on the weighted average number of Common shares outstanding during each year, plus the weighted average number of dilutive potential Common shares considered outstanding during the year.

For the year ended December 31, 2008, all the outstanding options, convertible notes and warrants have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share, since their effect is anti-dilutive.

For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010, 2,763,298 and 834,844 stock options and warrants, respectively, have been excluded from the computation of diluted net earnings per share since their effect was anti-dilutive.

Stock-based compensation:

The Company applies ASC 718 and ASC 505-50, "Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees", with respect to options and warrants issued to non-employees. ASC 718 requires the use of an option valuation model to measure the fair value of the options and warrants at the measurement date as defined in ASC 505-50. ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model, where applicable.

The Company recognizes these compensation costs net of a forfeiture rate and recognizes the compensation costs for only those shares expected to vest on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is the option vesting term of four years. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

The Company used the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value for any options granted until December 31, 2009. In 2010, the Company changed the option-pricing model to Binomial Lattice ("Binomial model") option-pricing model. The Binomial model considers characteristics of fair value option pricing that are not available under the Black-Scholes model. Similar to the Black-Scholes model, the Binomial model takes into account variables such as volatility, dividend yield rate, and risk free interest rate. However, the Binomial model allows for the use of dynamic assumptions and also considers the contractual term of the option, the probability that the option will be exercised prior to the end of its contractual life, and the probability of termination or retirement of the option holder in computing the value of the option. For these reasons, the Company believes that the Binomial model provides a better estimate of an employee stock options fair value than that calculated using the Black-Scholes model.

The fair value of each option granted in 2010 using the Binomial Lattice option-pricing model, is estimated on the date of grant with the following weighted average assumptions:

	Year ended December 31 ,2010

Contractual life of	6 years
Forfeiture rate		3%
Expected exercise factor		2.5
Dividend yield		0%
Expected volatility		65%-66%
Risk-free interest rate		2.3%-2.8%

The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on the yield from U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with an equivalent term as of the Company's employee stock options. The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company's historical and expectation of future dividend payouts. The expected life of options granted is derived from the output of the option valuation model and represents the period of time the options are expected to be outstanding. The expected exercise factor and the forfeiture rate are based on industry acceptable rates since no actual historical behavior by option holders exists. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company.

For options granted prior to January 1, 2010, the fair value of each option granted was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

	Year ended December 31,
	2008		2009

Expected term	4.25 years		4.25 years
Dividend yield		0%		0%
Expected volatility		78%		90%- 93%
Risk-free interest rate		3%		1.8% - 2.5%

Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each of the awards. In 2008, 2009 and 2010, the Company granted 244,000, 292,012 and 789,000 stock options to employees and directors, respectively.

Accrued severance pay:

The liability of the Company's subsidiaries in Israel for severance pay is calculated pursuant to Israeli Severance Pay Law based on the most recent salary of the employees multiplied by the number of years of employment as of the balance sheet date. Employees are entitled to one month's salary for each year of employment or a portion thereof. The liability for its employees in Israel is fully provided by monthly deposits with insurance policies and by an accrual. The value of these policies is recorded as an asset in the Company's consolidated balance sheet.

In addition, the Company signed collective agreements with few of its employees, according to which the Company's contributions for severance pay shall be instead of severance compensation and that upon release of the policy to the employee, no additional payments shall be made by the Company to the employee. Generally, the Company pays to all its employees the entire liability, irrespective of the collective agreements described per above. Therefore, the net obligation related to the employees is stated on the balance sheet as accrued severance pay.

In addition, some of the Company's agreements with its employees are in accordance with section 14 of the Severance Pay Law, 1963, under which the Company's contributions for severance pay shall be in lieu of severance compensation and upon release of the policy to the employee, no additional liability exists between the parties regarding the matter of severance pay and no additional payments shall be made by the Company to the employee. Accordingly, severance liability and deposits on behalf of such liability are not presented on the balance sheet, as the Company has no further obligation to these employees once the deposits have been paid.

The deposited funds include profits and losses accumulated up to the balance sheet date. The deposited funds may be withdrawn only upon the fulfillment of the obligation pursuant to Israeli Severance Pay Law or labor agreements. The value of the deposited funds is based on the cash surrendered value of these policies.

Severance expense for the years 2008, 2009 and 2010 amounted to approximately $ 1,588, $ 307 and $ 790, respectively.

In addition, the Company has various defined contribution plans for employees of its subsidiaries around the world. Some of the plans are those required according to the laws of the country in which the subsidiary operates. Contributions made under the plans are invested with financial institutions. Benefits under the plans are based on contributions from employees and the Company, and earnings on insurance contracts or other investment instruments in which the contributions are invested.

Expense for contributions made to these plans was $ 154, $ 110 and $ 0 for 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively.

Impact of recently issued accounting standards:

ASU 2009-13 - In October 2009, the FASB issued amendments to the accounting and disclosure for revenue recognition of multiple deliverable revenue arrangements codified in ASC 605-25. These amendments modify the criteria for recognizing revenue in multiple element arrangements and require companies to develop a best estimate of the selling price to separate deliverables and allocate arrangement consideration using the relative selling price method. Additionally, the amendments eliminate the residual method for allocating arrangement considerations. These amendments establish a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable, which is based on: a) vendor-specific objective evidence; b) third-party evidence; or c) estimates. In addition, this guidance significantly expands required disclosures related to a vendor's multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. ASU 2009-13 is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The Company has not early adopted the guidance. Management believes that the adoption of the new guidance will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2010-28 - In December 2010, the EITF issued ASU 2010-28, "When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts" codified in ASC 350, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other". Under ASC 350, testing for goodwill impairment is a two-step test, in which Step 1 compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, Step 2 is completed to measure the amount of impairment, if any. This ASU modifies Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 if it appears more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity would consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist (e.g., a significant adverse change in the business climate). The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Adoption of new accounting standards during the period:

ASU 2010-06 - In January 2010, the FASB updated the "Fair Value Measurements Disclosures" codified in ASC 820. More specifically, this update require (a) an entity to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 fair value measurements and to describe the reasons for the transfers; and (b) information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements to be presented separately (i.e. present the activity on a gross basis rather than net) in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs). This update clarifies existing disclosure requirements for the level of disaggregation used for classes of assets and liabilities measured at fair value, and requires disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements using Level 2 and Level 3 inputs. As applicable to the Company, this update became effective as of the first quarter ended December 31, 2010, except for the gross presentation of the Level 3 roll forward information, which is required for annual reporting of December 31, 2010. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2010-09 - In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09 - "Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements of Subsequent Events" codified in ASC 855. This update removes the requirement to disclose the date through which subsequent events were evaluated in both originally issued and reissued financial statements for "SEC Filers." Nevertheless still requires the Company to evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

CONVERTIBLE DEBT

During December 2003, the Company completed an offering of securities on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange ("TASE") in Israel, resulting in gross proceeds of NIS 75.2 million (approximately $ 17,100). The price per unit was NIS 752 (approximately $ 171.14) with 100,000 units sold. Each of the units consists of 800 debentures (series A), two options (series A) exercisable into debentures (series A) and six warrants (series 1) exercisable into Common shares of the Company.

The debentures (series A) were linked to the U.S. dollar with a floor exchange rate of NIS 4.394 to the dollar, and bear annual interest at the rate of 6.0%, payable twice a year commencing on June 5, 2004 and ending on December 5, 2009. Principal is payable in four installments on December 5 of the years 2006-2009. The debentures (series A) were convertible into Common shares at a conversion rate of one Common share per each NIS 27 (approximately $ 6.14) amount of the debentures, linked to the NIS/dollar exchange rate, with a floor exchange rate of NIS 4.394 to the dollar.

Each option (series A) was exercisable into 100 debentures (series A) no later than March 3, 2004 at an exercise price of NIS 96 (approximately $ 21.85), of which 179,663 options (series A) were exercised into debentures (series A) in 2004, with a total exercise price of approximately $ 3,800. 105,225 of the options (series A) were exercised by one of the Company's subsidiaries in Israel. The remaining options expired. All the warrants (series 1) that were exercisable into Common shares of the Company expired on November 21, 2007, without being exercised. The debentures (series A), options (series A) and warrants (series 1) were, traded on TASE only. Any Common shares issued upon conversion of the debentures (series A) will be traded on both the TASE and the NASDAQ.

The conversion feature and the floor rate to the dollar payments were evaluated and determined under ASC 815 to have characteristics of liabilities and therefore, accounted for as derivative liabilities. Each reporting period, these derivative liabilities were marked to fair value with the non-cash gain or loss recorded in the period. At December 31, 2009, the aggregate derivative liabilities were $ 0.

During the years 2008 and 2009, the Company re-purchased an aggregate amount of NIS 7,600 thousand and NIS 1,600 thousand nominal value, representing $ 2,090 and $ 400 of the outstanding debentures (series A), respectively that were retired and removed from circulation on the TASE. On December 5, 2009, the Company repaid the fourth and final payment of the principal of the debentures (series A). As of December 31, 2009, the net balance of the convertible debt was $ 0. Amortization of the deemed discount and the changes in the fair value of the embedded derivatives charged to expenses were $ 459 for 2009. The deemed discount was amortized over the term of the debentures (series A), using the effective interest rate method.

Sapiens Technologies (1982) Ltd. ("Technologies"), a subsidiary incorporated in Israel, partially financed its research and development expenditures under programs sponsored by the Office of Chief Scientist ("OCS") for the support of certain research and development activities conducted in Israel.

In exchange for participation in the programs by the OCS, the Company agreed to pay 3%-3.5% of total net consolidated license and maintenance revenue and 0.35% of the net consolidated consulting services revenue related to the software developed within the framework of these programs. The royalties will be paid up to a maximum amount equaling 100%-150% of the grants provided by the OCS, linked to the dollar, and for grants received after January 1, 1999, bear annual interest at a rate based on LIBOR. Repayment of such grants is not required in the event that there are no sales of products developed within the framework of such funded programs.

Royalties accrued amounted to approximately $ 760, $ 577 and $ 614 in 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively, and are included in cost of revenues.

During 2010, the Company paid an amount of $ 1,342 with respect to royalties payable to the OCS. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had a contingent liability to pay royalties of approximately $ 5,860. The total amount of the contingent liability due to royalties is currently negotiated by the Company with the OCS.

The Company and its subsidiaries lease various office equipment, computers, office space, and motor vehicles through operating leases. Office lease agreements expire in the years 2011 to 2015 (some with renewal options). Future minimum lease payments for the next five years are as follows:

As for tax assessments, see Note 11d.

The Company's leased assets are pledged to the finance companies that provided the lease financing. The pledges are for various terms depending on the asset leased.

The Company has provided bank guarantees in the amount of approximately $ 372 as security for the rent to be paid for its leased offices in Israel. The lease is valid for approximately five years ending in July 2015. If the Company were to breach certain terms of its lease, the lessor could demand that the banks providing the guarantees pay amounts claimed to be due.

As of December 31, 2010, the Company has provided bank guarantees in the amount of approximately $ 131 as security for the performance of various contracts with customers and suppliers. If the Company were to breach certain terms of such contracts, the customers or the suppliers could demand that the banks providing the guarantees pay amounts claimed to be due.

According to the agreement with one of the Company's customers, Menorah Mivtahim ("Menorah"), the Company is obligated to pay sale commissions to Menorah of 15% on future license sales of one of the Company's products to third parties, as described in the agreement. As of December 31, 2010, no new license sales of the above-mentioned product occurred, therefore no provision was recorded in the Company's books.

TAXES ON INCOME

Net operating losses carryforwards:

At December 31, 2010, the Company's subsidiary in the U.S. had net operating loss carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes of approximately $ 1,500. The losses will expire between 2011 and 2020.

Utilization of U.S. net operating losses may be subject to substantial annual limitation due to the "change in ownership" provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and similar state provisions. The annual limitations may result in the expiration of net operating losses before utilization.

In addition, the Company had net operating losses carryforwards relating to non-U.S. subsidiaries totaling approximately $ 41,000 which are available for offsetting against future taxable income. Generally, a majority of such amounts have no expiration date.

Israeli corporate tax structure:

The rate of the Israeli corporate tax is as follows: 2008 - 27%, 2009 - 26%, 2010 - 25%. Tax at a reduced rate of 25% applies on capital gains arising after January 1, 2003, instead of the regular tax rate. In July 2009, the "Knesset" (Israeli Parliament) passed the Law for Economic Efficiency (Amended Legislation for Implementing the Economic Plan for 2009 and 2010), which prescribes, among others, an additional gradual reduction in the rates of the Israeli corporate tax and real capital gains tax starting in 2011 to the following tax rates: 2011 - 24%, 2012 - 23%, 2013 - 22%, 2014 - 21%, 2015 - 20%, 2016 and thereafter - 18%.

Tax benefits under the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959:

Sapiens Technologies has been granted "Approved Enterprise" status for a number of investment programs approved by the Israeli Government under the Law for Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959 ("the Capital Investments Law").

According to the provisions of the Capital Investments Law, Sapiens Technologies has elected the "alternative benefits track" - the waiver of grants in return for tax exemption and, accordingly, it is tax-exempt for a period of two to four years commencing from the year it first earns taxable income and to a reduced corporate tax rate of 10% - 25% for an additional period of three to eight years (depending on the level of foreign-investment in Technologies). These tax benefits are subject to a limitation of the earlier of twelve years from commencement of operations, or fourteen years from receipt of the approval. This limitation does not apply for the years of tax exemption. The Capital Investments Law also grants entitlement to claim accelerated depreciation on machinery and equipment used by the "Approved Enterprise", during the first five years, which the Company claims.

NOTE 11:

TAXES ON INCOME (Cont.)

Income from sources other than the "Approved Enterprise" during the benefit period is subject to tax at the regular corporate tax rate of 25% in 2010, 24% in 2011, 23% in 2012, 22% in 2013, 21% in 2014, 20% in 2015 and 18% in 2016 and thereafter.

The entitlement to the above benefits is conditional upon the Company fulfilling the conditions stipulated by the Capital Investments Law, regulations published thereunder and the instruments of approval for the specific investments in "Approved Enterprises".

In the event of failure to comply with these conditions, the benefits may be cancelled and the Company may be required to refund the amount of the benefits, in whole or in part, plus a consumer price index linkage adjustment and interest.

In the event Sapiens Technologies distributes a dividend out of the retained tax exempt profits, such profits will be subject to corporate tax in the year the dividend is distributed, in respect of the gross amount of the dividend distributed and at a rate that would have been applicable had the Company not elected the "alternative benefits track" (10%-25%, depending on the level of foreign investment in the Company). In addition, the dividend recipient is subject to tax at a reduced rate of 15% applicable to dividends from "Approved Enterprises" if the dividend is distributed during the exemption period or within 12 years thereafter. This tax must be withheld by Sapiens at the source. However, in the event that the Company qualifies as a Foreign Investors Company, there would be no such limitation.

On April 1, 2005, an amendment to the Capital Investments Law came into effect ("the Amendment") and has significantly changed the provisions of the Capital Investments Law. The Amendment sets forth the scope of enterprises which may qualify as a Privileged Enterprise (under the Amendment, the designation is Beneficiary Enterprise rather than Approved Enterprise) by setting forth criteria for qualification of a company, such as provisions generally requiring that at least 25% of the Beneficiary Enterprise's income will be derived from export and that minimum qualifying investments in productive assets be made. Additionally, the Amendment enacted major changes in the manner in which tax benefits are awarded under the Investment Law so that companies no longer require Investment Center approval in order to qualify for tax benefits.

Under the Amendment, the year in which a company elects to commence its tax benefits is designated as the year of election ("Year of Election"). A company may choose its Year of Election by notifying the Israeli Tax Authorities in connection with filing its annual Tax return or within 12 months after the end of the Year of Election, whichever is earlier, or by requesting a pre-ruling from the Israeli Tax Authorities no later than within 6 months after the end of the Year of Election. As a result of the Amendment, among others, tax-exempt income generated under the provisions of the Amendment, will subject the Company to taxes upon distribution or liquidation and the Company may be required to record a deferred tax liability with respect to such tax-exempt income. As of December 31, 2010, the Company did not generate income under the Amendment.

NOTE 11:

TAXES ON INCOME (Cont.)

The Company is not in development area A. The Company is examining the possible effect of the amendment on the financial statements, if at all, and has not yet decided whether to apply the amendment.

Commencing 2005, the Company's Israeli subsidiaries have elected to file their tax returns under the Israeli Income Tax Regulations 1986 (Principles Regarding the Management of Books of Account of Foreign Invested Companies and Certain Partnerships and the Determination of Their Taxable Income). Accordingly, commencing 2005, results for tax purposes are measured in terms of U.S. dollars.

Tax benefits under the Law for the Encouragement of Industry (Taxation), 1969:

Management believes that Sapiens Technologies currently qualifies as an "industrial company" under the above law and as such, enjoys tax benefits, including:

(1)

Deduction of purchase of know-how and patents and/or right to use a patent over an eight-year period;

(2)

The right to elect, under specified conditions, to file a consolidated tax return with additional related Israeli industrial companies and an industrial holding company;

(3)

Accelerated depreciation rates on equipment and buildings; and

(4)

Expenses related to a public offering on the TASE and as of January 1, 2003 on recognized stock markets outside of Israel, are deductible in equal amounts over three years.

Income taxes on non-Israeli subsidiaries:

Non-Israeli subsidiaries are taxed according to the tax laws in their respective country of residence.

Tax positions:

Sapiens Technologies and some of the Group entities have final tax assessments through the year 2005. At December 31, 2010, the Company had a liability for unrecognized tax benefits of $ 400. The reconciliation of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

	December 31,
	2009		2010

Balance at the beginning of the year	$	160	$	300
Additions based on tax positions taken during the current period		130		100
Addition of interest related to the unrecognized tax liabilities from previous years		10		-

Balance at the end of the year	$	300	$	400

As of December 31, 2010, the entire amount of unrecognized tax benefit could affect the company's income tax provision and the effective tax rate.

Deferred income taxes:

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company and its subsidiaries' deferred tax assets are as follows:

	December 31, 2009						December 31, 2010
	Current			Non- current			Current			Non- current

Tax loss carryforwards	$	1,472		$	11,477		$	3,669		$	7,182
Temporary differences		485			(2,143	)		201			(1,571	)

Gross deferred tax assets		1,957			9,334			3,870			5,611
Less - valuation allowance		(509	)		(7,528	)		(2,189	)		(3,787	)

Net deferred tax asset	$	1,448		$	1,806		$	1,681		$	1,824

During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company and its subsidiaries reduced the deferred income tax assets resulting from tax loss carryforwards and temporary differences by $ 1,810 and reduced the related valuation by $ 2,061. Management currently believes that it is more likely than not that the deferred income taxes regarding the loss carryforwards and other temporary differences, on which a valuation allowance has been provided, will not be realized in the foreseeable future.

The Company's entire provision for taxes on income relates to operations in jurisdictions other than the Netherlands Antilles.

A reconciliation between the theoretical tax expense, assuming all income is taxed at the statutory tax rate applicable to income of the Company, and the actual tax expense as reported in the statements of operations is as follows:

EQUITY

Common shares confer upon their holders voting rights, the right to receive cash dividends and the right to share in excess assets upon liquidation of the Company.

Stock option plans:

Stock options granted under the Company's 1992 Stock Option and Incentive Plan ("the 1992 Stock Plan") to employees, directors and service providers are exercisable at the fair market value of the Company's Common shares on the date of grant and, subject to termination of employment, expire ten years from the date of grant and are generally exercisable in four equal annual installments commencing one year from the date of grant, unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors.

In 2003, the Company's Board of Directors and shareholders authorized the extension of the 1992 Stock Plan until April 2012. Also in 2003, the Company's Board of Directors and shareholders approved the 2003 Share Option Plan ("the 2003 Option Plan"), including the reservation of 500,000 Common shares for grant pursuant to such plan. The 1992 Stock Plan and the 2003 Option Plan are referred to together as "the Plan". In August 2004, the Company's shareholders approved an increase of the number of Common shares available for grant pursuant to the Plan by an additional 500,000 shares.

In November 2005, the Company's Board of Directors approved a new Incentive Stock Option Plan ("the Special Plan"). The number of Common shares available for grants pursuant to the Special Plan was set at 2,000,000 shares. The Special Plan is intended to be used solely to attract or retain senior management and/or Board members. Options granted pursuant to the Special Plan will have an exercise price of $ 3.00, will be locked for up to five years, and will be contingent upon the optionee providing services to the Company throughout the entire five year period. In the event of a change of control of the Company, the vesting of such options will be accelerated.

EQUITY (Cont.)

In April 2009, the Company's Board of Directors approved a re-pricing of some of the Company's stock options held by Company's management. As a result of the re-pricing, 1,985,650 stock options at an exercise price range of $ 1.74 to $ 5.30 were re-priced to 1,554,627 stock options at an exercise price of $ 1.50 per share (925,870 stock options from the 1,554,627 are at market conditions (a kick-in feature of $ 2.10 market price)). The Company accounted for the re-pricing of the options above in accordance with ASC 718, as a modification. The Company used the Black-Scholes valuation model to calculate the incremental fair value for the re-priced options, except for the options with market conditions, for which a Binominal model was used. In addition, the expected term of the options before the re-pricing was calculated using the Binomial model. Since there was no incremental value as a result of the modification, no additional expense was recorded in respect of the re-pricing of the respective options.

As of December 31, 2010 700,113 options to Common shares of the Company are available for future grant. Any options, which are forfeited or cancelled before expiration, become available for future grant under the Plan.

A summary of the stock option activities in 2010 is as follows:

	Year ended December 31, 2010
	Amount of options			Weighted average exercise price		Weighted average remaining contractual life		Aggregate intrinsic value
				$		Years		$ in thousands

Outstanding at beginning of year		2,306,963		$	2.16		5.23

Vested and expected to vest at end of year		2,888,634		$	1.64		4.69	$	1,956

Exercisable options at end of year		1,803,004		$	1.58		4.56	$	1,394

The aggregate intrinsic value is the difference between the Company's closing stock price on the last trading day of the fiscal year 2010 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on December 31, 2010. This aggregate intrinsic value changes based on the fair market value of the Company's shares.

The weighted average grant date fair values of the options granted during the years ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 were $ 0.64, $ 0.59 and $ 1.08, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 was $ 97, $ 0 and $ 16, respectively.

As of December 31, 2010, there was $ 826 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested options granted under the Plan and the Special Plan, which is expected to be recognized over a period of up to four years.

Upon exercise of options by employees, the Company satisfies the requirements by issuing newly issued shares.

Warrants:

In 2005, warrants were granted to advisory board members. As of December 31, 2010, warrants are outstanding as follows:

Warrants to Common shares		Weighted average exercise price per share		Warrants exercisable		Exercisable through

	11,000	$	2.00		11,000	May 2015
	17,000	$	2.24		17,000	February 2015

	28,000	$	2.15		28,000

These warrants were measured at fair value (according to the Black-Scholes option pricing model) with the following assumptions: risk free rate of 3.5%, dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 80% and contractual life of ten years. Total compensation expense amounted to $ 25, of which none was recorded in 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively.

See Note 1c regarding shares and related put options issued to Harcase's selling shareholders.

The total stock-based compensation expenses related to all of the Company's equity-based awards recognized for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 was $ 165, $ 259 and $ 724, respectively. The total stock-based compensation expenses were recorded as general and administrative expenses.
