relationships; competitive factors including pricing pressures; technological developments, and products offered by competitors;
the availability of resources from suppliers and other third parties; the ability of our OEM partners to successfully penetrate
markets with products integrated with Commtouch technology; a slower than expected acceptance rate for newer product offerings;
availability of qualified staff; and technological difficulties and resource constraints encountered in developing new products,
as well as those risks described in the company’s Annual Reports on Form 20-F and reports on Form 6-K, which are available
through
