NOTE 1:- GENERAL

a. Business overview:

AudioCodes Ltd. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (together the "Group") design, develop and sell advanced Voice over-IP (VoIP) and converged VoIP and data networking solutions, products, and communication and application software that facilitate secured, resilient and high quality Unified Communications (UC) and Contact Center (CC) services whether deployed on-premises or delivered from the cloud. Providing software communications, cloud-based platforms, customer premise equipment and software applications, the Group's solutions and products are geared to meet the growing needs of enterprises and service providers realigning their operations towards the transition to all-IP networks and hosted unified communications and collaboration business services. In addition, the Group offers a complete suite of professional and managed services that allow its partners and customers to choose a service packages (or complement their own offering) from a modular portfolio of professional services.

The Company operates through its wholly-owned subsidiaries in the United States, Europe, Asia, Latin America, Australia and Israel.

  • b. The Group's major customer in the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 (unaudited), accounted for 14.2% and 16.6% of the Group's revenues in those periods, respectively.
  • c. The Group is dependent upon sole source suppliers for certain key components used in its products, including certain digital signal processing chips. Although there are a limited number of manufacturers of these particular components, management believes that other suppliers could provide similar components at comparable terms. A change in suppliers, however, could cause a delay in manufacturing and a possible loss of sales, which could adversely affect the operating results of the Group and its financial position.
  • d. COVID- 19

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a global pandemic. The outbreak has reached all of the regions in which we do business, and governmental authorities around the world have implemented numerous measures attempting to contain and mitigate the effects of the virus, including travel bans and restrictions, border closings, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders, shutdowns, limitations or closures of nonessential businesses, and social distancing requirements. Companies around the world, including us, our customers, partners, and vendors, have implemented actions in response, including among others, office closings, site restrictions, and employee travel restrictions.

The global spread of COVID-19 and actions taken in response have caused and may continue to cause disruptions and/or delays in our supply chain, manufacturing and shipments, and caused significant economic and business disruption to the Group's customers, partners and vendors. In response to these challenges, the Group quickly adjusted its operations to work from home and it believes its business continuity plan is working well.

The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on the Group's business and results of operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, including the duration and severity of the outbreak, the effects of subsequent waves of COVID-19, the Group's ability to maintain its supply chain and to continue to manufacture products and restrictions on its business and personnel that may be imposed by governmental rules and regulations implemented to contain or treat COVID-19.

Management is monitoring and assessing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic daily, including recommendations and orders issued by government and public health authorities.

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant accounting policies applied in the annual consolidated financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2019, are applied consistently in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise stated. For further information refer to the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2019 (the "2019 annual consolidated financial statements").

a. Interim financial statements:

The interim condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2020 and the related interim condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, and the statements of changes in shareholders' equity for the six months ended June 30, 2020, are unaudited. This unaudited information has been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial statements, and on the same basis as the audited annual consolidated financial statements. In management's opinion, this unaudited information reflects all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial information, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, for interim financial reporting for the periods presented and accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for audited financial statements. However, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2019 annual consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto. The interim condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2019 was derived from the 2019 annual consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.

b. Use of estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments 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. As applicable to these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the most significant estimates and assumptions relate to revenue recognition and allowance for sales returns, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventories write-off, intangible assets, goodwill, income taxes and valuation allowance, share-based compensation and contingent liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

In light of the currently unknown extent and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, we face a greater degree of uncertainty than normal in making the judgments and estimates needed to apply to certain of the Company's significant accounting policies. The Company assessed certain accounting matters that generally require consideration of forecasted financial information in context with the information reasonably available to the Company and the unknown future impacts COVID-19 as of June 30, 2020 and through the date of this report. These estimates may change, as new events occur and additional information is obtained. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

c. Impact of recently issued accounting standard not yet adopted:

In December 2019, the Financail Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2019-12, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes", which simplifies the accounting for income taxes. This guidance will be effective for the first quarter of 2021 on a prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. We are currently reviewing this standard but do not expect that it will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

d. Recently adopted accounting standard:

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment" ("ASU 2017-04"). ASU 2017-04 eliminates the requirement to measure the implied fair value of goodwill by assigning the fair value of a reporting unit to all assets and liabilities within that unit (the "Step 2 test") from the goodwill impairment test. Instead, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited by the amount of goodwill in that reporting unit. ASU 2017-04 became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020 and must be applied to any annual or interim goodwill impairment assessments after that date. The implementation did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326)" ("ASU 2016-13"). ASU 2016-13 requires that financial assets measured at amortized cost be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis. The measurement of expected credit losses is based upon historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. ASU 2016-13 became effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted as of the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The implementation did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 4:- FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820, "Fair Value Meaurement", the Group measures its foreign currency derivative instruments and Earn-Out liability related to the acquisition of ACS, at fair value. Investments in foreign currency derivative instruments are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. This is because these assets are valued using alternative pricing sources and models utilizing market observable inputs. The Earn-Out liability related to the acquisition of ACS is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because this liability is based on present value calculations and an external valuation model whose inputs include market interest rates, estimated operational capitalization rates and volatilities. Unobservable inputs used in this model are significant.

NOTE 5:- LEASES

a. Lease commitments:

The Group's facilities are leased under several lease agreements for periods ending up to 2027, with options to extend the leases ending up to 2029.

In addition, the Company has various operating lease agreements with respect to motor vehicles.

Lease expenses of office rent and vehicles for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 (unaudited) were approximately \$4,011 and \$3,999 respectively. Lease expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 (unaudited) include an offset for sublease rental of \$691 and \$645, respectively.

The Company's capitalized operating lease agreements have remaining lease terms ranging from 1 year to 9.01 years, including agreements with options to extend the leases for up to 5 years.

The following table represents the weighted-average remaining lease term and discount rate:

Six months ended
June 30, 2020

Weighted average remaining lease term 3.71 years
Weighted average discount rate 2.20 %

The discount rate was determined based on the estimated collateralized borrowing rate of the Company, adjusted to the specific lease term and location of each lease.

NOTE 6: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

a. Royalty commitment to the IIA:

In November 2019, the Company and one of its Israeli subsidiaries, AudioCodes Development Ltd., entered into a royalty buyout agreement (the "Royalty Buyout Agreement") with the Israel Innovation Authority ("IIA") relating to certain grants they had received from the IIA. The contingent net royalty liability to the IIA at the time of the Royalty Buyout Agreement with respect to these grants was \$49,008 (the "Debt"), including interest to the date of the Royalty Buyout Agreement. As part of the Royalty Buyout Agreement, the Company agreed to pay \$32,178 to the IIA (to settle the Debt in full) in three annual installments starting in 2019. The annual installments are linked to the NIS and bear interest. Pursuant to the Royalty Buyout Agreement, the Company eliminated all royalty obligations related to its future revenues with respect to these grants.

NOTE 8:- DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Group enters into hedge transactions with a major financial institution, using derivative instruments, primarily forward contracts and options to purchase and sell foreign currencies, in order to reduce the net currency exposure associated with anticipated expenses (primarily salaries and rent expenses) in currencies other than the dollar. The Group currently hedges such future exposures for a maximum period of one year. However, the Group may choose not to hedge certain foreign currency exchange exposures for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to immateriality, accounting considerations and the prohibitive economic cost of hedging particular exposures. There can be no assurance the hedges will offset more than a portion of the financial impact resulting from movements in foreign currency exchange rates.

The Group records all derivatives in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. The effective portions of cash flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portions of cash flow hedges are adjusted to fair value through earnings in financial income or expense.

As of June 30, 2020 (unaudited), the Group had a net deferred gain associated with cash flow hedges of \$1,776 recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). As of December 31, 2019, the Group had unrealized gain of \$244 associated with cash flow hedges that was recorded in other comprehensive income (loss).

NOTE 8:- DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS (Cont.)

The Group entered into forward and options contracts that did not meet the requirement for hedge accounting. The Group measured the fair value of the contracts in accordance with ASC 820, at Level 2. The net loss recognized in "financial income (expenses), net" during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 (unaudited) were \$13 and \$0, respectively.

As of June 30, 2020 (unaudited), the Group had outstanding forward and options collar (cylinder) contracts in the amount of \$34,300 which were designated as payroll and rent hedging contracts. As of December 31, 2019, the Group had no outstanding forward and options collar (cylinder) contracts which were designated as payroll and rent hedging contracts. In addition, as of June 30, 2020, the Group had \$3,500 outstanding forward contracts which are not designated as hedging contracts.

The fair value of the Group's outstanding derivative instruments and the effect of derivative instruments in cash flow hedging relationship on other comprehensive income for the periods ended June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are summarized below:

Our products to the Skype for Business and Microsoft Teams Unified Communications market are sold primarily to our channel partners that distribute and integrate the Skype for business solution to enterprises.

In November 2019, we and one of our Israeli subsidiaries, AudioCodes Development Ltd., entered into a royalty buyout agreement (the "Royalty Buyout Agreement") with the Israel Innovation Authority, or IIA, relating to certain grants we have received from the IIA. As part of the Royalty Buyout Agreement, we agreed to pay \$32.2 million to the IIA (to settle the Debt in full) in three annual installments starting in 2019. The annual installments are linked to the NIS and bear interest. In November 2019, we paid the first installment of \$10.7 million due under this Agreement. Pursuant to the Royalty Buyout Agreement, we eliminated all royalty obligations related to our future revenues with respect to these grants.

We offer a comprehensive professional services program intended to provide responsive, preventive, and consultative support of our networking products. Our professional services support networking devices, applications and infrastructures, allowing large organizations and service providers to realize the potential of a high-performance multi-service network.

Our headquarters and research and development facilities are located in Israel with research and development extensions in the U.S. and China. We have other offices located in Europe, Asia, Latin America and Australia.

Historically, a substantial portion of our revenue has been derived from large purchases by a limited number of OEMs, NEPs, systems integrators and distributors. ScanSource Communications Group, our largest customer, accounted for 14.2% and 16.6% of our revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. In addition, Westcon Group accounted for 13.0% and 12.2% of our revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Our top five customers accounted for 41.2% and 39.8% of our revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. If we lose a large customer and fail to add new customers to replace lost revenue, our operating results may be materially adversely affected.

Revenues based on the location of our customers for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 are as follows:

June 30, Six Months Ended
2020 2019
Americas 49.1 % 48.6 %
Far East 13.3 13.9
Europe 34.2 36.3
Israel 3.4 1.2
Total 100.0 % 100.0 %

Beyond run rate business usually repeated once purchased by distributors and service providers, we believe that prospective customers generally are required to make a significant commitment of resources to test and evaluate our products and to integrate them into their larger systems. Our sales process is often subject to delays associated with lengthy approval processes that typically accompany the design and testing of new communications equipment. For these reasons, the sales cycles of our products to new customers are often lengthy, averaging approximately six to twelve months. As a result, we may incur significant selling and product development expenses prior to generating revenues from sales.

The currency of the primary economic environment in which our operations are conducted is the U.S. dollar, or dollar, and, as such, we use the dollar as our functional currency. Transactions and balances originally denominated in dollars are presented at their original amounts. All transaction gains and losses from the premeasurement of

monetary balance sheet items denominated in non-dollar currencies are reflected in the statement of operations as financial income or expenses, as appropriate.

The demand for Voice over IP, or VoIP, technology has increased during recent years. In recent years, the shift from traditional circuit-switched networks to next generation packet-switched networks continued to gain momentum. As data traffic becomes the dominant factor in communications, service providers are building and maintaining converged networks for integrated voice and data services. In developed countries, traditional and alternative service providers have adopted bundled triple play (voice, video and data) and quadruple play (voice, video, data and mobile) offerings. This trend, enabled by voice and multimedia over IP, has fueled competition among cable, wireline, ISP and mobile operators, increasing the pressure for adopting and deploying VoIP networks. In addition, underdeveloped markets without basic wire line service in countries such as China and India and certain countries in Eastern Europe are adopting the use of VoIP technology to deliver voice and data services that were previously unavailable.

The general economic uncertainty, including disruptions in the world credit and equity markets, has had and continues to have a negative impact on business around the world. This economic environment has had an adverse impact on the technology industry and our major customers. Conditions may continue to be uncertain or may be subject to deterioration which could lead to a reduction in consumer and customer spending overall, which could have an adverse impact on sales of our products. A disruption in the ability of our significant customers to access liquidity could cause serious disruptions or an overall deterioration of their businesses which could lead to a significant reduction in their orders of our products and the inability or failure on their part to meet their payment obligations to us, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and liquidity. In addition, any disruption in the ability of customers to access liquidity could lead customers to request longer payment terms from us or long-term financing of their purchases from us. Granting extended payment terms or a significant adverse change in a customer's financial and/or credit position could also require us to assume greater credit risk relating to that customer's receivables or could limit our ability to collect receivables related to purchases by that customer. As a result, our allowance for doubtful accounts and write-offs of accounts receivable could increase.

Impact of COVID-19 on Our Business and Operations

In late 2019, COVID-19 was first reported in Wuhan, China. The COVID-19 outbreak spread to countries throughout the world, including Israel and the United States, and in March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. Governmental authorities of many countries around the world, including Israel and the United States, implemented significant measures to control the spread of the virus, including temporary closure of businesses, severe restrictions on travel and the movement of people, and other material limitations on the conduct of businesses. In response, we implemented remote working and workplace protocols for our employees in Israel in accordance with Israeli Ministry of Health requirements and similar arrangements in other countries in which we operate.

The COVID-19 outbreak has disrupted supply chains and affected production and sales across a range of industries. Around the middle of the first quarter of 2020, we experienced delays in the manufacturing of our hardware products in China due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Although we were able to ship all of our products as planned during the quarter, COVID-19 has caused and may continue to cause disruptions and/or delays in our supply chain, manufacturing and shipments. We cannot estimate the duration or negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business. However, depending on the duration and scope of the pandemic, it could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

The lockdown, shelter in place and social distancing policies adopted by governments worldwide to manage the COVID-19 pandemic led to an acceleration in the adoption of work from home (Work from Home or WFH) policies and technologies, a global trend that had already been gaining momentum in the past few years. To ensure business continuity, companies and contact centers were compelled to transition their employees quickly from an office to a working from home environment. This in turn led to increased demand for UCaaS and video conferencing solutions such as Microsoft Teams and Zoom, as well as Work from Home agent solutions for contact centers. As a result, AudioCodes experienced an increased demand for our related products and solutions.

In response, we launched Work from Home promotions and solutions aimed at helping companies offer reliable and high-quality voice communications for Work from Home employees and contact center agents. We expect businesses that previously were unable to transition to WFH, or faced challenges in their implementation of WFH arrangements due to aging or inappropriate communications solutions, to adopt policies and technologies to better prepare them for future foreseeable and unforeseeable events that prevent employees from working in a company's offices. We also believe that numerous businesses may decide to transition to WFH, either fully or partially, as a continuing alternative to the manner in which they conducted their operations before the COVID-19 outbreak.

The worldwide scale, rapid development and fluidity of the COVID-19 pandemic and its material adverse impact on the global economy restricts our ability to predict how COVID-19 could impact our business and operations going forward. The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on our business and results of operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, including the duration and severity of the outbreak, the effects of subsequent waves of COVID-19, our ability to maintain our supply chain and to continue to manufacture products and restrictions on our business and personnel that may be imposed by governmental rules and regulations implemented to contain or treat COVID-19.

Results of Operations

The following table sets forth the percentage relationships of certain items from our consolidated statements of operations, as a percentage of total revenues for the periods indicated:

Statement of Operations Data: June 30, Six Months Ended
2020 2019
Revenues 100.0 % 100.0 %
Cost of revenues 33.7 37.0
Gross profit 66.3 63.0
Operating expenses:
Research and development, net 21.6 20.5
Selling and marketing 24.2 26.2
General and administrative 6.3 5.5
Total operating expenses 52.1 52.2
Operating income 14.2 10.8
Financial income (expenses), net 0.4 (1.1)
Income before taxes on income 14.6 9.7
Income tax expense (3.3) (1.5)
Net income 11.3 % 8.2 %

Revenues. Revenues increased 9.9% to \$105.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020, from \$96.1 million in the same period in 2019.

Our revenues from products in the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased by 8.3% to \$70.7 million, or approximately 67% of total revenues, from \$65.3 million, or 68% of total revenues, in the same period in 2019. The increase in revenues from sales of products was primarily attributable to the increased adoption of unified communications and collaboration solutions by businesses/enterprises (SMBs/SMEs enterprises); specifically, Microsoft Teams which accounts for a large portion of our revenues. Moreover, in the first half of 2019, Microsoft Teams was at its early launch phase and, in the first half of 2020, Microsoft Teams has been adopted at higher pace than anticipated due to COVID-19. In addition, carriers in specific countries are still migrating to all-IP voice networks and shutting off TDM switches, triggering demand for VoIP products to connect to new IP switches. There is also increased migration by contact center customers moving to IP and acquiring Work from Home solutions. This migration of CC, UC and all-IP voice networks positively affected the demand for our UC SIP products, while supporting moderate growth of our media gateway products. On the other hand, the growth in sales of IP phone devices

has been less than expected because COVID-19 has resulted in widespread Work from Home, while purchases of IPP for offices has been delayed.

Our revenues from sales of services in the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased by 13.2% to \$34.8 million, or approximately 33% of total revenues, from \$30.8 million, or 32% of total revenues, in the same period in 2019. The increase in revenues from sales of services was primarily driven by the growth in sales of technical support services, which relate to sales of products during 2020 and in previous years and by the growth in professional services. The growth in product support services is attributable to sales of products in prior years that resulted from an increase of our renewal rate of support agreements and from support services for a larger amount of products being supported. The growth in sales of professional services is attributable to offering more managed services with larger contract value as part of a broader portfolio of professional services offered by us and an increase in demand for such services in the Enterprise UC market (mainly Microsoft Teams).

Cost of Revenues and Gross Profit. Cost of revenues includes the cost of hardware, quality assurance, overhead related to professional and support customer services, overhead related to manufacturing activity, technology licensing and royalty fees payable to third parties and to the IIA. Gross profit increased to \$70 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020, from \$60.5 million in the same period in 2019. Gross profit as a percentage of total revenues increased to 66.3% in the six months ended June 30, 2020, from 63.0% in the same period in 2019. The increase in the gross profit as a percentage of total revenues is primarily attributable to the elimination of the royalty payments to the IIA following the Royalty Buyout Agreement, as well as to the higher increase in our revenues from sales of software products and services, which have a significantly higher average gross margin. In addition, our gross profit percentage benefited from our fixed overhead costs being spread over increased revenues. In the six months ended June 30, 2020, expenses included in cost of revenues related to share-based compensation were \$99,000, compared to \$66,000 in the same period in 2019.

Cost of revenues related to sales of products decreased by 1.3% to \$27.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020, from \$28.2 million in the same period in 2019. The decrease is primarily attributable to the elimination of the royalty payments to the IIA following the Royalty Buyout Agreement, partially offset by higher costs due to the general increase in the revenues from products. Gross margin percentage from products was 60.7% in the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 and 56.9% in the same period in 2019. The increase in the gross margin percentage is also explained by the more favorable mix in the sale of our products, including software sales exceeding hardware sales in the six-month period ended June 30, 2020.

Cost of revenues related to sales of services increased by 5.3% to \$7.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020, from \$7.4 million in the same period in 2019. This increase is primarily attributable to higher support personnel expenses associated with providing services and implementation of our products with service providers as well as enterprise customers. Gross margin percentage from services was 77.7% in the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 and 76% in the same period in 2019.

Research and Development Expenses, net. Research and development expenses, net, consist primarily of salaries and related costs of employees engaged in ongoing research and development activities, development-related raw materials and the cost of subcontractors, less grants from IIA in 2019. Research and development expenses, net increased by 16% to \$22.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020, from \$19.7 million in the same period in 2019 and increased as a percentage of revenues to 21.6% in the six months ended June 30, 2020, from 20.5% in the same period in 2019. The increase on an absolute basis is primarily due to the decrease in the grants recognized from IIA. In the six months ended June 30, 2020, no grants from IIA were recognized, compared to \$1.3 million of grants recognized in the same period in 2019. Expenses included in research and development expenses related to share-based compensation were \$0.5 million, compared to \$0.4 million in the same period in 2019.

Selling and Marketing Expenses. Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs (including sales commissions) of sales and marketing personnel, as well as exhibition, travel and related expenses. Selling and marketing expenses increased by 1.5% in the six months ended June 30, 2020 to \$25.6 million, from \$25.2 million in the same period in 2019 and decreased as a percentage of revenues to 24.2% in the six months ended June 30, 2020, from 26.2% in the same period in 2019. The increase on an absolute basis is due to an increase in the expenses related to share-based compensation. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in travel,

conferences and exhibitions expenses due to COVID-19. Expenses included in research and development expenses related to share-based compensation were \$1.6 million, compared to \$0.8 million in the same period in 2019.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs of finance, human resources and general management personnel, rent, network and allowance for doubtful accounts, as well as insurance and consultant services expenses. General and administrative expenses increased by 25% to \$6.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020, from \$5.3 million in the same period in 2019. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses increased to 6.3% in the six months ended June 30, 2020, from 5.5% in the same period in 2019. The increase on an absolute basis is primarily due to an increase in the expenses related to share-based compensation. Expenses included in general and administrative expenses related to share-based compensation were \$1.3 million, compared to \$0.7 million in the same period in 2019.

Financial Income (expenses), Net. Financial expenses, net consists primarily of interest on our bank loans and bank charges, exchange rate and linkage to the Israeli CPI differences, net of interest earned on cash and cash equivalents and bank deposits. Financial income, net, in the six months ended June 30, 2020 was \$0.5 million, compared to financial expenses, net of \$1.1 million in the same period in 2019. The increase in financial income, net in the six months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily due to lower expenses recorded with respect to exchange rate fluctuations.

Taxes on Income. We had net income tax expenses of \$3.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to \$1.5 million in the same period in 2019. The increase in net income tax expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2020 is primarily a result of higher utilization of deferred tax assets and update of temporary tax differences.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We finance our operations primarily from our cash and cash equivalents, bank deposits, bank borrowings and cash from operations. In addition, in June 2020 we realized net proceeds of approximately \$85.4 million as a result of a public offering.

As of June 30, 2020, we had \$170.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and bank deposits, compared to \$71.9 million at December 31, 2019. This increase is the result of the proceeds from our public offering in June 2020. As of June 30, 2020, we were restricted with respect to using approximately \$6.2 million of our cash as a result of provisions in our loan agreements and lease agreement.

Issuance of ordinary shares

On June 8, 2020, we sold in a public offering 2,600,000 of our ordinary shares, at a price of \$35 per share. Our net proceeds from this offering were approximately \$85.4 million, after deducting commissions and other offering expenses.

Cash Dividends

On February 4, 2020, we declared a cash dividend of \$0.13 per share. The dividend, in the aggregate amount of \$3.9 million, was paid on March 4, 2020 to all of our shareholders of record on February 18, 2020.

In June 2020, we submitted a new application to the Israeli court, requesting approval of distribution in an aggregate amount of up to \$10 million. The application will be effective for a six month period from the date of court approval. We received court approval on August 4, 2020.

On August 5, 2020, we declared a cash dividend of \$0.14 per share. The dividend, in the aggregate amount of \$4.6 million, was paid on September 1, 2020 to all of our shareholders of record on August 17, 2020.

Bank Loans

As of June 30, 2020, we were required to maintain an aggregate of \$1.2 million of compensating bank deposits with respect to our bank loans. The amount of the compensating balances we are required to keep decreases over time as we repay these loans.

The loan agreements require us, among other things, to meet certain financial covenants such as maintaining shareholders' equity, cash balances, and liabilities to banks at specified levels, as well as achieving certain levels of operating income.

As of June 30, 2020, we were in compliance with the financial covenants contained in our loan agreements.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Our operating activities provided cash in the amount of \$17.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to net income of \$11.9 million, an increase of \$3.2 million in deferred revenues, a decrease of \$3.1 million in deferred tax assets, non-cash charges of \$1.1 million for depreciation and amortization and \$3.5 million for share-based compensation expenses, partially offset by decrease of \$2.0 million in trade payables, increase of \$2.6 million in trade receivables and increase of \$1.4 million in inventories.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

In the six months ended June 30, 2020, we used \$40,000 of cash in investing activity primarily as a result of purchase of property and equipment in the amount of \$641,000, partially offset by proceeds from short-term deposits in the amount of \$451,000 and proceeds from long-term deposits in the amount of \$150,000.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

In the six months ended June 30, 2020, our financing activities provided cash in the amount of \$81.6 million from the proceeds of \$86.7 million from issuance of shares including the proceeds of our public offering of ordinary shares in June 2020 and \$1.1 million from issuance of shares upon exercise of share options, partially offset by \$3.9 million used to pay cash dividends to our shareholders and \$1.2 million used for repayment of bank loans.

Financing Needs

We anticipate that our operating expenses will be a material use of our cash resources for the foreseeable future. We believe that our current working capital is sufficient to meet our operating cash requirements for at least the next twelve months, including payments required under our existing bank loans. Part of our strategy is to pursue acquisition opportunities. If we do not have available sufficient cash to finance our operations and the completion of additional acquisitions, we may be required to obtain additional debt or equity financing. We cannot be certain that we will be able to obtain, if required, additional financing on acceptable terms or at all.
