ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Business Overview

Our Business

We develop and market enterprise legacy migration solutions and provide tools and professional services to international markets through several entities including wholly-owned subsidiaries located in: the United States, the United Kingdom, Italy, Romania, and Israel. These technologies and services allow businesses to migrate from their legacy mainframe and distributed IT infrastructures to modern environments and programming languages.

Through the use of Modern Systems developed technology, we:

	●	perform conversions of legacy mainframe applications written in COBOL, CA GEN, Natural, PL/1 to Java and C# code;
	●	perform conversions of legacy databases such as IDMS, ADABAS, VSAM, IMS, ICL to SQL Server, Oracle and DB2 environments; and
	●	Sell “Replatforming” software that allows companies to modernize their databases from ADABAS to Oracle, SQL Server or DB2 and get off the mainframe while keeping their application in legacy Natural codebase.

The technology conversion tools are proprietary to us and perform automated code conversion of programming languages and database replication.

In addition to the technology tools, we provide professional services for:

	●	project management of migrations;
	●	understanding and mapping of the applications;
	●	testing;
	●	remediation; and
	●	Ongoing monitoring and management of the environments.

Ateras Merger

On December 1, 2014, we completed a merger with Sophisticated Business Systems, Inc., a Texas corporation doing business as “Ateras” (“Ateras”). At the closing, BP-AT Acquisition LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Modern Systems Corporation (f/k/a BluePhoenix Solutions USA, Inc.), a Delaware corporation and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of ModSys International Ltd., merged with and into Ateras (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of BP-AT Acquisition LLC ceased and Ateras continued as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Modern Systems Corporation. The surviving entity was then renamed MS Modernization Services, Inc.

Divestitures

In order to increase our profitability and professional capacities, we engaged in a strategic plan to focus on the legacy modernization business. Following is a description of our principal divestitures during the last three fiscal years which were part of our strategic plan:

Sale of Liacom. In May 2012, we completed the sale of our 51% share holdings in Liacom Systems Ltd. for aggregate consideration of $1.7 million. The proceeds from the sale were used to repay loans.

Sale of Knowledge Management Business. In June 2012, we entered into an agreement for the sale of our holdings in BluePhoenix Knowledge Management Systems Ltd., for aggregate consideration of $550,000.

Sale of Operations of BridgeQuest, Inc. In February 2013, we executed an agreement for the sale of the operations of BridgeQuest, Inc. and its subsidiary. The total consideration that we received from the sale was $6,500.

Customers

We provide our modernization solutions directly to our customers or through our strategic partners, such as IBM Corporation (IBM), Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC), Oracle, Microsoft Corporation, Hewlett Packard (HP), NCI Building Systems Inc. (NCS), T-Systems, Cognizant, Capgemini and Dell Inc. Additionally, from time to time, other IT services companies license our technologies for use in modernization projects in various markets. Our partners include system integrators, as well as other software vendors who assist us in increasing our penetration and exposure in the market. We provide solutions to our partners’ customers in collaboration with the system integrator’s team. In most cases, the partners provide related services to the customers. Our arrangements with our partners vary. We may enter into distribution agreements under which we grant license rights to our partners or to the partners’ customers or provide related services, or a combination of both. Alternatively, we may enter into subcontractor relationships with our strategic partners.

A substantial portion of our agreements is in the form of fixed price contracts. We bear risks and uncertainties in these contracts, as we price these contracts based on estimates of future costs, duration of the project, and the impact of potential changes in the scope of the work. We also enter into other types of contracts, including annual maintenance contracts, license agreements, and arrangements on a time and materials basis.

In 2014, HP Enterprise Services UK Ltd and Jetro Cash & Carry accounted for 15.5% and 11.1% of our revenue, respectively. In 2013, IBM Corporation accounted for 13.9% of our revenues.

The following table summarizes the revenues from our technology and services by geographic regions based on the location of the end customer for the periods indicated:

	Year ended December 31,
	2014		2013
	(in thousands)
North America		3,743		4,147
Europe		2,688		2,465
Israel		809		1,791
Other		-		134
Total Revenue	$	7,240	$	8,537

Research and Development

We continue to reinvest in our company through our investment in technology and process improvement. We also invest in a skilled and specialized workforce. In 2014, our investment in research and development amounted to $932,000, as compared to $1.5 million in 2013. The decrease was the result of a reduction in our research and development workforce.

Chief Scientist Grants

PowerText — We received, through a subsidiary, an aggregate of approximately $300,000 in grants from the Office of the Chief Scientist in the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor of the State of Israel, or the OCS, for the development of PowerText. PowerText is a software solution for automated electronic document mining, management and presentment. Royalties of 3% are payable to the OCS on all sales of PowerText up to 100% of the dollar-linked grant received. The balance of the contingent liability relating to the royalties payable by our subsidiaries to the OCS, at December 31, 2014, amounted to approximately $238,000.

Other Grants

During 2007, our subsidiary, Blue Phoenix I-ter S.R.L. (I-ter), received an amount of $585,000 from the Ministry of Production in Italy for I-ter’s Easy4Plan product. Of the funds received, 36.5% constitute a grant, and the remaining 63.5%, is a 10-year loan to be repaid by I-ter in annual installments until September 2018. The loan bears a minimal annual interest of 0.87% and is linked to the euro. As of December 31, 2014, the remaining loan balance was approximately $154,000. Our subsidiary’s operations have been reduced significantly, which may result in the Ministry of Production in Italy requiring the immediate repayment of the full outstanding loan amount.

Intellectual Property

Our proprietary technology incorporates processes, methods, algorithms, and software that we believe are not easily copied. Despite these precautions, it may be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy aspects of our products or to obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. However, we believe that with regard to most of our solutions, because of the rapid pace of technological change in the industry, patent and copyright protection are less significant to our competitive position than factors such as the knowledge, ability, and experience of our personnel, new product development, and ongoing product maintenance and support.

Challenges and Opportunities

In a market that continues to innovate and evolve, new technologies and practices, by definition, render existing technology deployments out-of-date or legacy. By the same measure, however, in order for us to capitalize on the constant source of legacy solutions, we must evolve our solutions portfolio to deal with the changing definition of what constitutes “leading edge” technologies and the growing set that is deemed to be “legacy.” Over time, as one legacy set of technologies is gradually replaced, we must be capable of addressing the modernization needs of the next set of aging technologies. However, these cycles are slow and provide us with the time to update our technology and build the necessary knowledge in house.

The fact that the modernization needs of the market are evolving on a constant basis, necessitates that we be capable of tracking and predicting changes in technologies. Anticipating the needs of the IT modernization market and delivering new solutions that satisfy the emerging needs is a critical success factor.

However, even if we develop modernization solutions that address the evolving needs of the legacy IT modernization market, we cannot assure that there will be a predictable demand for our offerings. Variables, ranging from the macro-economic climate, to the competitive landscape, to the perceived need that the enterprise market has for a specific modernization solution, may have an impact such as, a longer sales cycle or increased pricing pressure.

To keep up with the anticipated growing demand for our solution, we must retain our highly skilled personnel in the fields of project management, legacy systems, and leading modern technologies. Maintaining and growing the requisite skill base can be problematic; personnel with an understanding of legacy technologies is a finite resource and the market for recruiting and retaining such skills can be highly competitive.

Competition

We face competition for our solution from various entities operating in the market. At the highest level, the legacy IT modernization market competes with two other approaches that can be employed to evolve the operating capabilities of a business: re-building business systems from scratch or buying a commercially available application package that can be configured to serve the specific needs of a particular business.

Competition in the legacy IT modernization field is, to a large extent, based upon the functionality of the available technology and personnel expertise. Vendors in this market address the modernization of legacy systems in different ways, and therefore do not always compete directly with others. Many small vendors, those that possess just a few niche modernization technologies or a focused set of skills, are only capable of addressing a small portion of the overall modernization market. Selected few others are able to offer comprehensive suites of integrated solutions and are able to address the broad set of needs encountered by businesses.

Our principal competitors consist of system integrators, offshore outsourcers, and tool vendors, including leading software developers, who provide replacement or modernization of legacy systems. We also face competition from niche tools and solutions companies operating in the enterprise IT modernization continuum.

In addition, enterprises themselves represent one of the largest categories of competition. For a variety of reasons, many businesses choose to execute legacy IT modernization projects using their own internal IT resources. The rationale for a company to attempt to conduct modernization activities using in-house resources varies. Reasons include wanting to justify the existence of available resources, the belief that using internal resources will be quicker or cheaper, and decision makers underestimating the complexity of modernization projects or failing to appreciate the benefits that can result by using experienced personnel and built-for-purpose tools.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the risks described below and in the other sections of, and the documents we have incorporated by reference into, this Annual Report on Form 10-K, when deciding whether to purchase our ordinary shares. The risks and uncertainties described below and in the documents we have incorporated by reference into this Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are not aware of or that we currently believe are immaterial may also adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and our liquidity. Our business, financial condition, or results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks. The trading price of our ordinary shares could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Related to Our Business

In the past few years, we have experienced significant losses and negative cash flows from operations. If these trends continue, and we are not able to obtain adequate financing, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially adversely affected.

We have incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations in the recent past. We had net losses of $3.4 million and $4.0 million in each of the years 2014 and 2013, respectively. Our negative cash flows from operations were $3.5 million in 2014 compared to $2.8 million in 2013. As of December 31, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents of $449,000 compared to cash and cash equivalents of $2.6 million as of December 31, 2013. These results have had a negative impact on our financial condition. There can be no assurance that our business will become profitable in the future, that additional losses and negative cash flows from operations will not be incurred, that we will be able to improve our liquidity or that we will be able to find alternative financing if necessary. If these trends continue, we would encounter difficulties in funding our operations, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We have a credit facility with one bank which expires December 31, 2015. There is no assurance that this credit facility will be available in the future or that we will be able to obtain financing from other entities.

In the past, we had several credit facilities with multiple banks. Following the repayment of all of our loans to the banking institutions, we currently maintain only one credit facility which expires December 31, 2015. If we continue incurring significant losses and negative cash flows, as we have in the recent past, we may be required to raise funds or obtain alternative financing in order to finance our operations. We cannot assure you that such financing would be available, either from investors or financing institutions. Banks usually require as a condition to providing financing, compliance with covenants regarding our maintenance of certain financial ratios. In addition, those covenants may include restrictions on the operation of our business, including, among other things, our ability to pledge our assets, dispose of assets, issue certain securities, make loans or give guarantees, make certain acquisitions, and engage in mergers or consolidations. Additional restrictions may stipulate the balances we can maintain in non-affiliated banks. We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain our outstanding credit facility or negotiate new credit facilities on favorable terms to us. Our ability to obtain financing, when required, depends in part on the future performance of our business and the condition of the capital markets.

If we do not reach agreements with financing institutions, when required, we would encounter difficulties in funding our operations. In addition, we cannot assure you that we would be able to raise cash or obtain financing from other third parties, including our shareholders. Moreover, even if we succeed in negotiating financing arrangements with third parties, we cannot assure you that the terms of such arrangements would be favorable to us or advantageous to our existing shareholders.

Raising money to finance our operations involves, from time to time, issuance of equity securities which may dilute your holdings in our company.

In order to finance our operations, we may raise capital from time to time from our shareholders or other third parties. Our arrangements with any such parties may include the issuance of equity or debt securities or conversion options of loans and interest accrued thereon into equity securities. For example, in 2012, we entered into a series of transactions with our three major shareholders, which included conversion options (which have since been exercised) of the loans extended to us by such shareholders, into ordinary shares. In addition, in 2013, we issued shares to one of our major shareholders, Prescott Group Aggressive Small Cap Master Fund, G.P, through a private placement, which also included an anti-dilution clause for the potential issuance of additional shares upon the occurrence of certain events. The issuance of equity securities to certain investors would dilute your holdings in our company.

We may not realize the anticipated benefits of the Ateras merger.

On December 1, 2014, we completed a merger with Sophisticated Business Systems, Inc., a Texas corporation doing business as “Ateras.”. We cannot be assured that we will realize the anticipated benefits from this merger. The anticipated benefits depend, in part, upon our integration of the Ateras business into ours, our ability to retain the customers of Ateras, and our ability to otherwise manage the operations historically conducted by Ateras. We may face difficulty or unanticipated expense in retaining customers, or marketing or selling the Ateras products and services. Any of these circumstances could prevent us from realizing the anticipated benefits of the Ateras merger, which could cause our business to suffer.

Unfavorable changes in economic conditions and decreases in capital expenditures by our customers have had, and could continue to have, a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Our revenue is dependent upon the strength of the worldwide economy. In particular, we depend upon our customers making continuing capital investments in information technology products, such as those marketed and sold by us. These spending levels are impacted by the worldwide level of demand for enterprise legacy IT modernization solutions and services. Demand is normally a function of prevailing global or regional economic conditions and is negatively affected by a general economic slow-down as consumers reduce discretionary spending on information technology upgrades.

Although there have been indications that the economy may be improving in many areas, this has not resulted in an increase in purchases by our customers. Our revenues decreased from $8.5 million in 2013 to $7.2 million in 2014.

We have identified and continue to experience, from time to time, delays in purchase order placement by our customers and longer sales cycles. The negotiation process with our customers has developed into a lengthy and expensive process. Customers with excess IT resources have chosen and may continue to choose to develop in-house software solutions rather than obtain those solutions from us. Moreover, competitors may respond to challenging market conditions by lowering prices and attempting to lure away our customers. In addition, we anticipate that our low liquidity and financial condition may negatively impact the willingness of customers to place purchase orders with us.

We cannot predict the timing, strength or duration of any economic slowdown or any subsequent recovery. If the conditions in the markets in which we operate remain the same or worsen from present levels, or if customers are dissuaded to contract us due to our financial condition, our business, financial condition, and results of operations would be materially and adversely affected.

We had negative cash flows from operations in 2014 and 2013, which may continue if we are not successful at increasing our revenues or reducing our expense level.

We had negative operating cash flows of $3.5 million in 2014 and $2.8 million in 2013. Based on the continuing decline in revenues in 2014 and 2013, we continue to assess our infrastructure costs and reduce workforce and labor costs as they constitute a substantial portion of our costs of revenues, selling and administrative expenses, and research and development expenses.

In February 2013, we sold the operations of BridgeQuest, Inc. and its subsidiary. This sale, as well as certain other sales of operations consummated in 2012, together with our cost saving plan, were intended to set our expenses at a level commensurate with expected revenue levels. There can be no assurance, however, that such plans will result in reduced expense levels commensurate with our reduced level of revenues. As a result, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

The loss of customers, generally, and in particular the loss of a significant customer or several customers that, together, account for a significant portion of our revenues, could cause a reduction in our revenues and profitability, which in turn could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We do not know if, or for how much longer, our customers will continue to purchase the products and services that we offer. A small number of customers has accounted for a substantial portion of our current and historical net revenues. In 2014, HP Enterprise Services UK Ltd and Jetro Cash & Carry accounted for 15.5% and 11.1% of our revenue, respectively. In 2013, IBM Corporation accounted for 13.9% of our revenue.

The loss of any major customer or a decrease or delay in orders or anticipated spending by such customer could materially reduce our revenues and profitability. The loss of several customers at once may impact our revenues and profitability significantly, even if each of those customers, separately, has not accounted for a significant amount of our revenues. The loss of customers may cause a significant decrease in revenues and profitability which may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Our customers could also engage in business combinations, which could increase their size, reduce their demand for our products and solutions as they recognize synergies or rationalize assets and increase or decrease the portion of our total sales concentration to any single customer.

If we fail to estimate accurately the costs of fixed-price contracts, we may incur losses.

We derive a substantial portion of our revenues from engagements on a fixed-price basis. We price these commitments based upon estimates of future costs. We bear the risk of faulty estimates and cost overruns in connection with these commitments. Our failure to accurately estimate the resources required for a fixed-price project, to accurately anticipate potential wage increases, or to complete our contractual obligations in a manner consistent with the project plan could materially adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.

If we are unable to effectively control our costs while maintaining our customer relationships, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

It is critical for us to appropriately align our cost structure with prevailing market conditions to minimize the effect of economic downturns on our operations and, in particular, to continue to maintain our customer relationships while protecting profitability and cash flow. However, we are limited in our ability to reduce expenses due to the ongoing need to maintain our worldwide customer service and support operations and to invest in research and development. In circumstances of reduced overall demand for our products, or if orders received differ from our expectations with respect to the product, volume, price or other items, our fixed cost structure could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. If we are unable to align our cost structure in response to economic downturns on a timely basis, or if such implementation has an adverse impact on our business or prospects, then our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows may be negatively affected.

Based on the continuing decline in revenues in 2014 and 2013, we continue to assess our infrastructure costs and reduce workforce and labor costs as they constitute a substantial portion of our costs of revenues, selling and administrative expenses and research and development expenses.

Conversely, adjusting our cost structure to fit economic downturn conditions may have a negative effect on us during an economic upturn or periods of increasing demand for our IT solutions. If we have to aggressively reduce our costs, we may not have sufficient resources to capture new IT projects, timely comply with project delivery schedules and meet customer demand. If we are unable to effectively manage our resources and capacity to capitalize on periods of economic upturn, there could be a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

If we are unable to accurately predict and respond to market developments or demands, our business would be adversely affected.

The IT modernization business is characterized by rapidly evolving technology and methodologies. This makes it difficult to predict demand and market acceptance for our technology and services. In order to succeed, we need to adapt the solutions we offer in order to keep up with technological developments and changes in customer needs. We cannot guarantee that we will succeed in enhancing our technology and services, or developing or acquiring new technology that adequately addresses changing customer requirements. We also cannot assure you that the technology and services we offer will be accepted by customers. If our technology and services are not accepted by customers, our future revenues and profitability will be adversely affected. Changes in technologies, industry standards, the regulatory environment and customer requirements, and new product introductions by existing or future competitors, could render our existing solutions obsolete and unmarketable, or require us to enhance our current technology or develop new technology. This may require us to expend significant amounts of money, time, and other resources to meet the demand. This could strain our personnel and financial resources. Furthermore, modernization projects deal with customer mission critical applications, and therefore encapsulate risk for the customer. Therefore, customers are more cautious in entering into transactions with us, and accordingly, the process for approval and signing of deals is lengthy and expensive. We make efforts to mitigate such risks associated with legacy modernization projects but from time to time we encounter delays in the negotiation process.

We may experience significant fluctuations in our annual and quarterly results, which makes it difficult to make reliable period-to-period comparisons and may contribute to volatility in the market price of our ordinary shares.

Our quarterly and annual results of operations have fluctuated significantly in the past, and we expect them to continue to fluctuate significantly in the future. These fluctuations can occur as a result of any of the following events:

	●	global economic trends;
	●	global political trends, in particular, in the middle east and in countries in which we operate;
	●	adverse economic conditions in various geographic areas where our customers and potential customers operate;
	●	acquisitions and dispositions of companies and assets;
	●	timing of completion of specified milestones and delays in implementation;
	●	timing of product releases;
	●	timing of contracts;
	●	changes in selling and marketing expenses, as well as other operating expenses; and
	●	currency fluctuations and financial expenses related to our financial instruments.

For example, our revenues decreased to $7.2 million in 2014 compared to $8.5 million in 2013. The decrease in our revenues in recent years stems primarily from a softening in the monetary value of the average deal size, mostly in our legacy modernization projects. As a result of the foregoing, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our historical results of operations are not necessarily meaningful and that you should not rely on them as an indication for future performance. Also, it is possible that our quarterly and annual results of operations may be below the expectations of public market analysts and investors.

A delay in collecting our fees could result in cash flow shortages, which in turn may significantly impact our financial results.

Typical modernization projects which deploy our solutions are long-term projects. Therefore, payment for these projects or a substantial portion of our fees may be delayed until the successful completion of specified milestones. In addition, the payment of our fees is dependent upon customer acceptance of the completed work and our ability to collect the fees. In light of the global economy downturn, collecting our fees from customers has become increasingly difficult. Although the timing of receipt of our fees varies, we incur the majority of our expenses on a current basis. As a result, a delay in the collection of our fees could result in cash flow shortages.

Our results have been materially adversely affected by the impairment of the value of certain intangible assets, and we may experience impairment charges in the future.

The assets listed in our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014, include, among other things, goodwill valued at approximately $25.8 million. The applicable accounting standards require that goodwill is not amortized, but rather is subject to an annual impairment test, as well as periodic impairment tests if impairment indicators are present. In each of 2014 and 2013, following impairment tests we performed, no goodwill impairment was identified.

If we continue to experience reduced cash flows and our market capitalization falls below the value of our equity, or actual results of operations differ materially from our modeling estimates and related assumptions, we may be required to record additional impairment charges for our goodwill. If our goodwill or intangible assets were deemed to be impaired in whole or in part due to our failure to achieve our goals, or if we fail to accurately predict the useful life of the intangible assets, we could be required to reduce or write off such assets. Such write-offs could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.

If we are unable to attract, train, and retain qualified personnel, we may not be able to achieve our objectives and our business could be harmed.

In order to achieve our objectives, we hire from time to time software, administrative, operational, sales, and technical support personnel. The process of attracting, training, and successfully integrating qualified personnel can be lengthy and expensive. We may not be able to compete effectively for the personnel we need. Such a failure could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.

If our plans to continue and reduce the number of employees do not achieve the anticipated results or causes undesirable consequences our operating results may be harmed.

During 2014, we continued our cost saving plan by reducing our headcount, which resulted in a reduction of approximately 23 full-time employees and consultants. The continued reduction in the number of employees may yield unintended consequences, such as attrition beyond our intended reduction in workforce and reduced employee morale, which may cause our employees who were not affected by the reduction in workforce to seek alternate employment. Additional attrition could impede our ability to meet our operational goals, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial performance. In addition, as a result of the reductions in our workforce, we may face an increased risk of employment litigation. Furthermore, employees whose positions will be eliminated in connection with these trends may seek future employment with our competitors. Although all our employees are required to sign a confidentiality agreement with us at the time of hire, we cannot assure you that the confidential nature of our proprietary information will be maintained in the course of such future employment. We cannot assure you that we will not undertake additional reduction activities, that any of our efforts will be successful, or that we will be able to realize the cost savings and other anticipated benefits from our previous or any future reduction plans. In addition, if we continue to reduce our workforce, it may adversely impact our ability to respond rapidly to any new growth or revenue opportunities.

If our technology or solutions do not function efficiently, we may incur additional expenses.

In the course of providing our modernization solutions, the project team conducts testing to detect the existence of failures, errors, and bugs. If our modernization solutions fail to function efficiently or if errors or bugs are detected in our technology, we may incur significant expenditures in an attempt to remedy the problem. The consequences of failures, errors, and bugs could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition.

If we fail to satisfy our customers’ expectations regarding our solutions, or if we fail to timely deliver our solutions to our customers, we may be required to pay penalties, our contracts may be cancelled and we may be the subject of damages claims.

In the event that we fail to satisfy our customers’ expectations from the results of the implementation of our solutions, or if we fail to timely deliver our solutions to our customers, these customers may suffer damages. When and if this occurs, we may be required under the customer agreement to pay penalties to our customers or pay their expenses (as has occurred in the past) and our customers may have the ability to cancel our contracts. Payments of penalties or a cancellation of a contract could cause us to suffer damages. In addition, we may not be paid for costs that we incurred in performing services prior to the date of cancellation. In addition, from time to time we may be subject to claims as a result of not delivering our products on time or in a satisfactory manner. Such disputes or others may lead to material damages.

We are exposed to significant claims for damage caused to our customers’ information systems.

Some of the solutions we provide involve key aspects of our customers’ information systems. These systems are frequently critical to our customers’ operations. As a result, our customers may have a greater sensitivity to failures in these systems than do customers of other software products generally. If a customer’s system fails during or following the provision of modernization solutions or services by us, or if we fail to provide customers with proper support for our modernization solutions, we are exposed to the risk of a claim for substantial damages against us, regardless of our responsibility for the failure. We cannot guarantee that the limitations of liability under our product and service contracts, if any, would be sufficient to protect us against legal claims. We cannot assure you that our insurance coverage will be sufficient to cover one or more large claims, or that the insurer will not disclaim coverage as to any future claim. If we lose one or more large claims against us that exceed available insurance coverage, it may have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition. In addition, the filing of legal claims against us in connection with contract liability may cause us negative publicity and damage to our reputation.

If third parties assert claims of intellectual property infringement against us, we may, regardless of actual merits or success of any claims, suffer substantial costs and diversion of management’s attention, which could harm our business.

Substantial litigation over intellectual property rights exists in the global software industry. Software products may be increasingly subject to third-party infringement claims as the functionality of products in different industry segments overlaps. Our success depends, in part, upon our ability not to infringe the intellectual property rights of others. We cannot predict whether third parties will assert claims of infringement against us. In addition, our employees and contractors have access to software licensed by us from third parties. A breach of the nondisclosure undertakings by any of our employees or contractors may lead to a claim of infringement against us.

Any claim, with or without merit, could be expensive and time-consuming to defend, and would probably divert our management’s attention and resources. In addition, such a claim, if submitted, may require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements to obtain the right to use a necessary product or component. Such royalty or licensing agreements, if required, may not be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all.

A successful claim of product infringement against us and our failure or inability to license the infringed or similar technology could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We may experience greater than expected competition that could have a negative effect on our business.

We may experience greater than expected competition that could have a negative effect on our business. We operate in a highly competitive market. Competition in the modernization field is, to a large extent, based upon the functionality of the available solutions. Our competitors may be in a better position to devote significant funds and resources to the development, promotion and sales of their technology and services, thus enabling them to respond more quickly to emerging opportunities and changes in technology or customer requirements. Current and potential competitors have established or may establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties to increase such competitors’ ability to successfully market their technology and services. We also expect that competition will increase as a result of consolidation within the industry. As we develop new solutions, we may begin to compete with companies with which we have not previously competed. Our competitors include:

Our competitors include:

	●	small vendors who provide specific solutions for a particular area of modernization, such as Anubex, Migrationware, HTWC, Fresche Legacy, Innowake, Software Mining and MSS International;
	●	large system integrators such as IBM, HP, Accenture, Cognizant and Capgemini, some of whom we also partner with;
	●	independent software vendors such as Rocket Software, Micro Focus and Metaware; and
	●	Indian system integrators such as TCS, WIPRO, Infosys and Patni.

We may be unable to differentiate our solutions from those of our competitors, or successfully develop and introduce new solutions that are less costly than, or superior to those of our competitors. This could have a material adverse effect on our ability to compete.

Many of our existing and potential competitors may have or acquire more extensive development, marketing, distribution, financial, technological and personnel resources than we do. This increased competition may result in our loss of market share and pricing pressure which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We cannot assure you that competition with both competitors within our industry and with the in-house IT departments of certain of our customers or prospective customers will not result in price reductions for our solutions, fewer customer orders, deferred payment terms, reduced revenues or loss of market share, any of which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We may be unable to adequately protect our proprietary rights, which may limit our ability to compete effectively.

Our success and ability to compete are substantially dependent upon our internally developed technology. Our intellectual property consists of proprietary or confidential information that is not subject to patent or similar protection. Our employees and contractors have direct access to our technology. In general, we have relied on a combination of technical leadership, trade secret, copyright and trademark law, and nondisclosure agreements to protect our proprietary know-how. Unauthorized third parties may attempt to copy or obtain and use the technology protected by those rights. Any infringement of our intellectual property could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Intellectual property laws only provide limited protection and policing unauthorized use of our products is difficult and costly, particularly in countries where the laws may not protect our proprietary rights as fully as in the United States.

Pursuant to agreements with certain of our customers, we have placed, and in the future may be required to place, in escrow, the source code of certain software. Under the escrow arrangements, the software may, in specified circumstances, be made available to our customers. From time to time, we also provide our software directly to customers. These factors may increase the likelihood of misappropriation or other misuse of our software.

Risks Related to International Operations

Marketing our solutions in international markets may cause increased expenses and greater exposure to risks that we may not be able to successfully address.

We have international operations, which require significant management attention and financial resources. Depending on market conditions, we may consider establishing additional marketing and sales operations, hire additional personnel, and recruit additional resellers internationally.

Risks inherent in our worldwide business activities generally include:

	●	currency exchange fluctuations;
	●	unexpected changes in regulatory requirements;
	●	tariffs and other trade barriers;
	●	costs of localizing products for foreign countries;
	●	difficulties in operation of management;
	●	potentially adverse tax consequences, including restrictions on the repatriation of earnings; and
	●	the burdens of complying with a wide variety of local legislation.

We cannot assure you that these factors will not have a material adverse effect on our future international sales and, consequently, on our business, operating results, and financial condition.

Inflation, devaluation, and fluctuation of various currencies may adversely affect our results of operations, liabilities, and assets.

Since we operate in several countries, we are impacted by inflation, deflation, devaluation and fluctuation of various currencies. We enter into transactions with customers and suppliers in local currencies, while the reporting currency of our consolidated financial statements and the functional currency of our business is the U.S. dollar. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates in countries where we operate can adversely affect the reflection of these activities in our consolidated financial statements. In addition, fluctuations in the value of our non-dollar revenues, costs, and expenses measured in dollars could materially affect our results of operations, and our balance sheet reflects non-dollar denominated assets and liabilities, which can be adversely affected by fluctuations in the currency exchange rates.

Consequently, we are exposed to risks related to changes in currency exchange rates and fluctuations of exchange rates, any of which could result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Fluctuations in foreign currency values affect the prices of our products and services, which in turn may affect our business and results of operations.

Most of our worldwide sales are currently denominated in U.S. dollars, British pounds and euros while our reporting currency is the dollar. A decrease in the value of the dollar relative to these foreign currencies would make our products more expensive and increase our operating costs and, therefore, could adversely affect our results and harm our competitive position in the markets in which we compete.

We are subject to multiple taxing jurisdictions. If we fail to estimate accurately the amount of income tax due in any of these jurisdictions, our net income will be adversely affected.

We operate within multiple taxing jurisdictions and are subject to taxation by these jurisdictions at various tax rates. In addition, we may be subject to audits in these jurisdictions. These audits can involve complex issues, which may require an extended period of time to resolve. We cannot assure you that the final tax outcome of these issues will not be different from management estimates, which are reflected in our income tax provisions. Such differences could have a material effect on our income tax provision and net income in the period in which such outcome occurs.

Risks Related to Our Operations in Israel

Political, economic, and military conditions in Israel could negatively impact our business.

Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, a number of armed conflicts have taken place between Israel and its neighboring countries, as well as incidents of terror activities and other hostilities. Political, economic and security conditions in Israel could directly affect our operations. We could be adversely affected by hostilities involving Israel, including acts of terrorism or any other hostilities involving or threatening Israel, the interruption or curtailment of trade between Israel and its trading partners, a significant increase in inflation or a significant downturn in the economic or financial condition of Israel. Any on-going or future armed conflicts, terror activities, tension along the Israeli borders or political instability in the region could disrupt international trading activities in Israel and may materially and negatively affect our business and could harm our results of operations.

Political relations could limit our ability to sell or buy internationally.

We could be adversely affected by the interruption or reduction of trade between Israel and its trading partners. Some countries, companies and organizations continue to participate in a boycott of Israeli firms and others doing business with Israel or with Israeli companies. Also, over the past several years there have been calls in Europe and elsewhere to reduce trade with Israel. There can be no assurance that restrictive laws, policies or practices directed towards Israel or Israeli businesses will not have an adverse impact on our business.

Risks Related to Our Traded Securities

If we fail to comply with the minimum bid price requirement or any other minimum requirement for continued listing on the NASDAQ Global Market, our shares may be delisted.

In the past, we received a letter from the NASDAQ Global Market notifying us that we failed to comply with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the NASDAQ Global Market as set forth in Marketplace Rule 5450(a)(1). Following the receipt of such letter, on December 28, 2011, we executed a one-for-four reverse split of our ordinary shares, which resulted in an increase of the par value per ordinary share from NIS 0.01 to NIS 0.04, following which we regained compliance with NASDAQ’s minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share. The closing bid price of our ordinary shares on the NASDAQ Global Market, as of March 20, 2015 was $2.205.

In September 2012, we received an additional letter from NASDAQ Global Market advising us that according to the Form 6-K filed by us for the period ended June 30, 2012, our shareholder equity fell below the minimum $10 million requirement set forth in Marketplace Rule 5450(b)(1)(A) for continued listing on the NASDAQ Global Market. During the third quarter of 2012, we regained compliance with the shareholder equity minimum requirement. As of December 31, 2014 our shareholders equity was $30.4 million.

We cannot assure you that we will be able to continue to comply with The NASDAQ Global Market minimum requirements. If we fail to comply with those requirements within the required period, and we shall not be able to take sufficient steps to regain compliance, our shares may be delisted from The NASDAQ Global Market, which could reduce the liquidity of, and have an adverse effect on the price of, our ordinary shares.

The market price of our ordinary shares has been and may be extremely volatile and our shareholders may not be able to resell the shares at or above the price they paid, or at all.

During the past years, the closing price of our ordinary shares experienced price and volume fluctuations. The high and low closing prices of our ordinary shares traded on the NASDAQ Global Market during each of the last two years are summarized in the table below:

	High		Low

2014	$	4.60	$	3.14
2013	$	4.80	$	3.46

As of March 20, 2015, the market price of our ordinary shares was $2.205. We cannot assure you that the market price of our ordinary shares will return to previous levels. The market price of our ordinary shares may continue to fluctuate substantially due to a variety of factors, including:

	●	impairments of our intangible assets;
	●	our continued operating losses and negative cash flows;
	●	our inability to secure funding;
	●	any actual or anticipated fluctuations in our or our competitors’ quarterly revenues and operating results;
	●	shortfalls in our operating results from levels forecast by securities analysts;
	●	adverse consequences of litigation;
	●	public announcements concerning us or our competitors;
	●	the introduction or market acceptance of new products or service offerings by us or by our competitors;
	●	changes in product pricing policies by us or our competitors;
	●	changes in security analysts’ financial estimates;
	●	changes in accounting principles;
	●	sales of our shares by existing shareholders; and
	●	the loss of any of our key personnel.

Future sales of our shares to be registered for resale in the public market could dilute the ownership interest of our existing shareholders and could cause the market price for our ordinary shares to fall.

As of December 31, 2014, we had 17,844,094 ordinary shares outstanding and 1,210,766 ordinary shares reserved for issuance under our employee equity compensation plans, including 613,266 shares reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding employee options, warrants and unvested restricted stock units. As of such date, we also had the following commitments to issue our ordinary shares:

●

Up to 1,042,523 ordinary shares that may be issued to the investors in connection with certain anti-dilution rights granted in connection with the private placement consummated in November 2013.

We have committed to register for resale up to an additional 1,042,523 ordinary shares that may be issued to the investors in connection with certain anti-dilution rights.

The exercise of options by employees and office holders, vesting of restricted stock units granted to employees and office holders, exercise of warrants by investors and conversion of loans to equity would dilute the ownership interests of our existing shareholders. Any sales in the public market of our ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of options, warrants or conversion rights, could adversely affect the market price of our ordinary shares. If a large number of our ordinary shares is sold in a short period, the price of our ordinary shares would likely decrease.

Our U.S. shareholders could suffer adverse tax consequences if we are characterized as a passive foreign investment company.

Generally, a foreign corporation is a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes if (i) 75% or more of its gross income in a taxable year is passive income, or (ii) the average percentage of its assets for the taxable year that produce, or are held for the production of, passive income is at least 50%. Passive income includes interest, dividends, royalties, rents and annuities. Passive assets include working capital, including cash raised in public offerings. If we are or become a PFIC, our U.S. shareholders could suffer adverse tax consequences, including being taxed at the ordinary income tax rates and being subject to an interest charge on gain from the sale or other disposition of our ordinary shares and on certain “excess distributions” with respect to our ordinary shares. Because we expect to hold a substantial amount of cash or cash equivalents, and because the calculation of the value of our assets may be based in part on the value of our ordinary shares, which may fluctuate and may fluctuate considerably given that market prices of technology companies historically often have been volatile, we may be a PFIC in 2014 or in a subsequent year.

Our four largest shareholders have substantial influence over us and could limit your ability to influence the outcome of key transactions, including changes of control.

Based on information filed by our four largest shareholders with the Securities and Exchange Commission as of December 31, 2014, our four largest shareholders, Columbia Pacific Opportunity Fund, LP and affiliated entities, Prescott Group Capital Management, LLC and affiliated entities, Lake Union Capital Management, LLC and affiliated entities, and Mindus Holdings, LTD beneficially owned approximately 26.6%, 18.6% 11.1% and 29.2%, respectively, of our ordinary shares. Based on this information, we estimate that these shareholders, in the aggregate, beneficially own approximately 85.5% of our ordinary shares as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K (assuming no additional ordinary shares to prevent anti-dilution are issued related to such ordinary shares). As a result, our four largest shareholders are able to control or influence significantly all matters requiring approval by our shareholders, including the election of directors and the approval of mergers or other significant corporate transactions. These shareholders may have interests that differ from yours, and they may vote in a way with which you disagree and that may be adverse to your interests.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with the consolidated financial statements and related notes that are included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth under Item 1A,”Risk Factors” and in other parts of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. See ”Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Overview

We engage in the IT modernization solutions business and provide professional services. ModSys International Ltd. (Formerly: BluePhoenix Solutions Ltd.) (Together with its subsidiaries, the “Company” or “we”) is an Israeli corporation, which operates in one operating segment of information technology (“IT”) modernization solutions.

Modern Systems develops and markets enterprise legacy migration solutions and provides tools and professional services to international markets through several entities including wholly-owned subsidiaries located in: USA, UK, Italy, Romania and Israel. These technologies and services allow business to migrate from their legacy mainframe and distributed IT infrastructures to modern environments and programming languages.

In February 2013, we executed an agreement for the sale of the operations of BridgeQuest, Inc. and its subsidiary. The total consideration that we received from the sale was $6,500.

On December 1, 2014, we completed a merger with Sophisticated Business Systems, Inc., a Texas corporation doing business as “Ateras” ( “Ateras”) At the closing, BP-AT Acquisition LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Modern Systems Corporation (f/k/a BluePhoenix Solutions USA, Inc.), a Delaware corporation and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of ModSys International Ltd., merged with and into Ateras (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of BP-AT Acquisition LLC ceased and Ateras continued as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Modern Systems Corporation. The surviving entity was then renamed MS Modernization Services, Inc.

We have experienced a significant decline in our revenues from $8.5 million in 2013 to $7.2 million in 2014, from which the contribution of Ateras merger was $0.2 million. The decline in our revenues is primarily attributable to a softening in the monetary value of the average deal size and reduction in number of deals, mostly in our legacy modernization projects.

Based on the continuing decline in revenues in 2013 and 2014, we continued to assess our infrastructure costs and reduce workforce and labor costs as they constitute a substantial portion of our costs of revenues, selling and administrative expenses and research and development expenses.

The number of our full-time employees has decreased from approximately 96 full-time employees and four full-time consultants as of December 31, 2013 to 66 full-time employees (from which 21 employees came from the merger) and eleven full-time consultants as of December 31, 2014.

In 2014, our investment in research and development amounted to $932,000 compared to $1.5 million in 2013. The decrease was the result of a reduction in our research and development workforce.

Challenges and Opportunities

However, even if we develop modernization solutions that address the evolving needs of the legacy IT modernization market, we cannot assure that there will be a predictable demand for our offerings. Variables ranging from the macro-economic climate, to the competitive landscape, and to the perceived need that the enterprise market has for a specific modernization solution, may have an impact of a longer sales cycle or increased pricing pressure.

To keep up with the anticipated growing demand for our solution, we must retain our skilled personnel in the fields of project management, legacy systems, and leading modern technologies. Maintaining and growing the requisite skill base can be problematic. Personnel with an understanding of legacy technologies are a finite resource and the market for recruiting and retaining such workforce can be highly competitive.

Critical Accounting Policies

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Accordingly, we are required to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions that we believe are reasonable based upon the information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. The significant accounting policies that we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include the following:

Revenue Recognition

Our revenue recognition policy is significant because our revenue is a key component of our results of operations. We follow specific and detailed guidelines in measuring revenue; however, certain judgments affect the application of our revenue policy. Revenue results are difficult to predict and any shortfall in revenue or delay in recognizing revenue could cause our operating results to vary significantly from quarter to quarter and could result in future operating losses. Should changes in conditions cause management to determine that these guidelines are not met for certain future transactions, revenue recognized for any reporting period could be adversely affected.

We recognize revenues from consulting fees based on the number of hours performed. Revenues from maintenance services are recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance period. We present revenues from products and revenues from services in separate line items. The product revenues line item includes revenues generated from stand-alone software products. In the services revenue line item, the Company includes revenues generated from maintenance and consulting fees and revenues accounted for pursuant to ASC 605-35-25. Tax collected from customers and remitted to government authorities (including VAT) are presented in the income statement on a net basis.

Revenues derived from direct software license agreements are recognized in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 985 “Software” (“ASC 985”), upon delivery of the software, when collection is probable, the license fee is otherwise fixed or determinable, and persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists.

Long-term contracts accounted for pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 605-35-25 (prior authoritative literature: SOP 81-1, “Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type Contracts”) are contracts in which we sell our software framework, on which material modifications, developments and customizations are performed, to provide the customer with a new and modern IT application with enhanced capabilities that were unavailable in its former legacy system. The services are essential to the functionality of the software and to its compliance with customers’ needs and specifications. Under this method, estimated revenue is generally accrued based on costs incurred to date, as a percentage of total updated estimated costs. Changes in our estimates may affect the recognition of our long-term contract revenues. We recognize contract losses, if any, in the period in which they first become evident. Some of our contracts include client acceptance clauses. In these contracts, we follow the guidance of ASC 985-605-55 (formerly TPA 5100.67) and ASC Topic 605. In determining whether revenue can be recognized, when an acceptance clause exists, we consider our history with similar arrangements, the customer’s involvement in the negotiation process, and the existence of other service providers and the payment terms.

We recognize revenues from consulting fees based on the number of hours performed. Revenues from maintenance services are recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance. When a project involves significant production, modification or customization of software, revenue is recognized according to the percentage of completion method in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 605-35-25. Under this method, estimated revenue is generally accrued based on costs incurred to date, as a percentage of total updated estimated costs. We recognize contract losses, if any, in the period in which they first become evident. There are no rights of return, price protection or similar contingencies in our contracts. Our software framework and these kinds of modifications and customizations are not sold separately. Therefore, we cannot appropriately justify reflecting the product portion separately in our statement of operations.

Impairment of Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Our business acquisitions resulted in goodwill and other intangible assets. We periodically evaluate our goodwill, intangible assets, for potential impairment indicators. Our judgments regarding the existence of impairment indicators are based on legal factors, market conditions, and operational performance of our acquired businesses and investments. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 350 “Intangible — goodwill and other,” indefinite life intangible assets and goodwill are not amortized but rather subject to periodic impairment testing.

Goodwill and intangible assets are tested for impairment by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying value. These write downs may have an adverse effect on our operating results. Future events could cause us to conclude that impairment indicators exist and that additional intangible assets associated with our acquired businesses are impaired. In addition, we evaluate a reporting unit for impairment if events or circumstances change between annual tests, indicating a possible impairment. Examples of such events or circumstances include: (i) a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate; (ii) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator; (iii) a more likely than not expectation that a portion of the reporting unit will be sold; (iv) continued or sustained losses at a reporting unit; (v) a significant decline in our market capitalization as compared to our book value; or (vi) the testing for recoverability of a significant asset group within the reporting unit.

We have one operating segment and one reporting unit related to overall IT modernization. We utilize a two-step method to perform a goodwill impairment review in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year or when facts and circumstances indicate goodwill may be impaired. In the first step, we determine the fair value of the reporting unit. If the net book value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, we would then perform the second step of the impairment test which requires allocation of the reporting unit’s fair value of all of our assets and liabilities in a manner similar to an acquisition cost allocation, with any residual fair value being allocated to goodwill. The implied fair value of the goodwill is then compared to the carrying value to determine impairment, if any. In 2014 and 2013, we determined the fair value of a reporting unit using the market approach which is based on the market capitalization by using our share price in the NASDAQ Global Market and an appropriate control premium. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, our market capitalization was significantly higher than the net book value of the reporting unit and therefore there was no need to measure a control premium or to continue to step 2.

Stock Based Compensation

We account for stock-based compensation to employees in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 “Compensation — Stock Compensation.” In the past two years, most of the awards were of restricted stock units (“RSUs”). RSUs are valued based on the market value of the underlying stock at the date of grant. A small portion of the awards are share options. We measure and recognize compensation expense with respect to share options based on estimated fair values on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This option pricing model requires that we make several estimates, including the option’s expected life and the price volatility of the underlying stock.

Income Taxes

As a multinational corporation, we are subject to taxation in many jurisdictions, and the calculation of our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations in various taxing jurisdictions. The application of tax laws and regulations is subject to legal and factual interpretation, judgment and uncertainty. Accounting for uncertainty in income taxes requires that tax benefits recognized in the financial statements must be at least more likely than not of being sustained based on technical merits. The amount of benefits recorded for these positions is measured as the largest benefit more likely than not to be sustained. Significant judgment is required in making these determinations. As of December 31, 2014, there were no unrecognized tax benefits. Deferred taxes are determined utilizing the “asset and liability” method, whereby deferred tax asset and liability account balances are determined based on differences between financial reporting and the tax basis 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. We provide a valuation allowance, when it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized in the foreseeable future. In calculating our deferred taxes we are taking into account various estimations, which are examined and if necessary adjusted on a quarterly basis, regarding our future utilization of future carry forward losses.

Accounts Receivable and Allowances for Doubtful Accounts

Our trade receivables include amounts due from customers. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers’ financial condition and we require collateral as deemed necessary. We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make payments. In judging the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts, we consider multiple factors including the aging of our receivables, historical bad debt experience and the general economic environment. Management applies considerable judgment in assessing the realization of receivables, including assessing the probability of collection and the current credit worthiness of each customer. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

Derivative Instruments

Under the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 815 “Derivatives and hedging,” all derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair value.

Valuations of Intangible Assets:

The fair value assigned to identifiable intangible assets acquired has been determined by using valuation methods that discount expected future cash flows to present value using estimates and assumptions determined by management.

Discount for Lack Of Marketability (DLOM)

In case of issuance of restricted shares, the purchase consideration needs to be calculated with a certain discount for lack of marketability ("DLOM") on the share price. Estimation of the DLOM for the restricted shares of the Company was based on the following parameters: Restriction period, risk free rate and volatility.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity”. The amendments in this standard change the requirements for reporting discontinued operations in Subtopic 205-20. The amendments in this update will be effective prospectively for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this update on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from contracts with customers (Topic 606). The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply a five step methodology: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price;(4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. An entity should apply the amendments in this update using one of the following two methods: (1) retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (along with some practical expedients); or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying this update recognized at the date of initial application. The amendments in this update will be effective prospectively for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this update on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial statements – Going concern (subtopic 205-40), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern” (“ASU 2014-14”). The new standard provides guidance on management’s responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and about related footnote disclosures. For each reporting period, management will be required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the financial statements are issued. ASU 2014-15 applies prospectively to annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and to annual periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company is still assessing whether this adoption will have an effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Our Reporting Currency

The currency of the primary economic environment in which we, and most of our subsidiaries operate, is the U.S. dollar. In addition, a substantial portion of our revenues and costs are incurred in dollars. Thus, the dollar is our functional and reporting currency.

We follow FASB ASC Topic 830 “Foreign currency translation” and accordingly non-monetary transactions denominated in currencies other than the dollar are measured and recorded in dollar at the exchange rates prevailing at transaction date. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the dollar are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Exchange gain or losses on foreign currency translation are recorded as income.

Following is a summary of the most relevant monetary indicators for the reported periods:

Years Ended, 2014 and 2013

Revenue.

Revenue was $7.2 million in 2014, a 15.2% decrease when compared to $8.5 million in 2013. The decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in the monetary value of the average deal size, mostly in our legacy modernization projects, partially offset by an increase in licensing revenue and the contribution of Ateras merger of $0.2 million.

We depend upon our customers making capital investments in information technology products. These spending levels are impacted by the worldwide level of demand for enterprise legacy IT modernization solutions and services. Demand for these is normally a function of prevailing global or regional economic conditions and is negatively affected by a general economic slow-down as consumers reduce discretionary spending on information technology upgrades.

We currently concentrate our resources on providing legacy modernization solutions and services. Our revenue is generated from fixed-price projects, consulting fees, licensing fees, and long-term maintenance contracts. Revenue generated from fixed price projects was $3.7 million in 2014 and $5.6 million in 2013. This decrease is attributed to a decrease in the monetary value of the average deal size. Additionally, an overall decrease in number of projects in 2014 contributed to the decrease.

Revenue generated from our consulting services was $1.1 million in 2014, compared to $954,000 in 2013. The increase for the year was driven by an increase in the monetary value of the average deal size.

Revenue generated from our licensing services was $1.2 million in 2014, compared to $389,000 in 2013. The increase in revenue generated from our license fees is attributed to an increase in the number of customers and an increase in the average value of the licensing services.

Revenue generated from our long-term maintenance contract services was $1.1 million in 2014, compared to $1.3 million in 2013. The decrease in long-term maintenance contracts is attributable to a decrease in the number of maintenance contracts partially offset by an increase in the average value of the contracts.

Cost of revenues.

Cost of revenues consists of salaries of our employees and independent subcontractors on our implementation team, as well as other direct costs. Cost of revenues was $4.1 million in 2014, compared to $4.5 million in 2013, a decrease of 9.2%. Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue was 56.3% in 2014, compared to 52.6% in 2013. This decrease in the amount of cost resulted primarily from the reduction in workforce, and a decrease in amortization of our intangibles assets, partially offset by the contribution of Ateras merger of $0.2 million.

Gross profit.

Gross profit in 2014 was $3.2 million, a 21.8% decrease from $4 million in 2013. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue, was 43.7% in 2014 compared to 47.4% in 2013. The decrease is attributable to lower revenue.

Research and development costs.

Research and development costs consist of salaries and consulting fees that we pay to professionals engaged in the development of new software and related methodologies. Our research and development costs are allocated among our modernization suite of solutions and are charged to operations as incurred. Research and development costs in 2014 were $932,000 compared to $1.5 million in 2013, a decrease of 38.2%. The decrease was the result of the reduction in salary costs due to the reduction in our research and development workforce. Research and development cost as a percentage of revenue was 12.9% in 2014 and 17.7% in 2013.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses consist primarily of wages and related expenses, travel expenses, sales commissions, selling expenses, marketing and advertising expenses, rent, insurance, utilities, professional fees, depreciation and amortization. Selling, general, and administrative expenses in 2014 were $6.0 million compared to $6.3 million in 2013, a decrease of 4.1%. The decrease for the year is attributable to the reduction of workforce offset by the one-time costs associated with the Merger and by the increase in provision for doubtful accounts. Selling, general and administrative expenses were 83.5% in 2014 compared to 73.9% in 2013.

Financial expenses, net.

Financial expenses include interest paid on a loan extended by a third party, expenses related to the change in value of the warrants previously issued by us, which we record as a derivative, and expenses from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rate. The financial income is the result of the effect of the change in our stock price and its effect on the value of our warrants. Our financial income was $115,000 in 2014 compared to financial expense of $114,000 in 2013.The income in 2014 is due to the change in our stock price and its effect on the value of the warrants offset by bank fees and interest charges.

Taxes on income.

In 2014, we had income tax expense of $25,000 compared to $297,000 in 2013. The tax expense in 2014 is comprised of $37,000 current tax expense and $12,000 tax credits related to previous years and the tax expense in 2013 is all current tax expense.

Net loss from discontinued operation.

We did not have any gain or loss from discontinued operation in 2014. Net loss from discontinued operation in 2013 was attributable to BridgeQuest, Inc. and amounted to $399,000.

Net result attributable to non-controlling interest.

Net results attributable to non-controlling interest represented the non-controlling share in the net results of our subsidiary, Zulu Software Inc. Net results attributable to non-controlling interest in 2014 was a $327,000 loss compared to a $243,000 gain in 2013. The loss in 2014 is due to an overall decrease in the number of projects in 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

How We Have Financed Our Business

Public Offerings

In 1997, we consummated two public offerings, and received net proceeds of $33.9 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses.

In February 2006, we completed an underwritten public offering in Israel of series A convertible notes in an aggregate principal amount of NIS 54.0 million that were equal at the time of the transaction to approximately $11.5 million (the dollar amount was calculated based on the exchange rate at the date of the transaction). All of the notes have been converted into ordinary shares.

Private Placements

In 2004, we completed a $5 million private placement of convertible debentures and warrants to institutional investors. Pursuant to our agreement with the institutional investors, in March 2006, the institutional investors exercised their right to purchase from us, for an aggregate purchase price of $3 million, additional convertible debentures due in 2009. In 2008, the institutional investors converted the entire principal amount of the debentures into 405,198 ordinary shares. As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K., all warrants were expired.

In November 2007, we completed a $35 million private placement of ordinary shares and warrants issued to institutional investors. The net proceeds from the offering were mainly used for repayment of debt. As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K., all warrants were expired.

In October 2009, we completed a $4.2 million private placement of ordinary shares and warrants issued to institutional investors. Under the Securities Purchase Agreement entered into with the institutional investors, we sold to the investors 341,144 ordinary shares and the investors were also granted Series A Warrants exercisable into 204,686 ordinary shares, until October 2014. All warrants have been exercised. As agreed with the investors, we registered the shares purchased by the investors and those underlying the warrants for resale under an effective registration statement.

In November 2013, we completed a $2.5 million private placement of 625,000 ordinary shares which were issued directly to Prescott Group Aggressive Small Cap Master Fund, G.P. The ordinary shares issued in connection with this offering are subject to anti-dilution provisions in certain circumstances, including upon the occurrence of any issuance of ordinary shares or securities convertible into ordinary shares at a price below $4.00. Accordingly, we reserved up to an additional 1,042,523 ordinary shares to cover our anti-dilution undertaking. Prescott Group Aggressive Small Cap Master Fund, G.P. is affiliated with Prescott Capital.

Credit Facility

In September, 2014, we entered into an amendment to its existing loan agreement with Comerica Bank to: (i) increase the non-formula revolving line up to the amount of $2 million backed by guarantees; (ii) increase the borrowing base revolving line amount up to $1.5 million upon the closing of the Ateras merger; and (iii) extend the loan maturity date to December 31, 2015. The amendment has a financial covenant for a minimum liquidity ratio. Our obligations under the amendment are secured by a security interest in our copyrights, trademarks and patents. The remaining substantive provisions of the credit facility were not materially changed by this amendment.

As of December 31, 2014, we had borrowed $1,000,000 against our non-formula revolving line and $233,000 against the revolving line. The principal terms of the agreement are as follows:

	●	non-formula revolving line in the amount up to $2,000,000 backed by guarantees;
	●	revolving line (accounts receivable based) loan in the amount up to $1,500,000;
	●	both the non-formula revolving line and borrowing base loan are at market based interest rates based on Prime + a margin; and
	●	financial covenant for a minimum bank debt liquidity ratio calculated monthly as of the last day of each month, upon the closing of the Ateras Merger.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

As of December 31, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents of $449,000 and negative working capital of $922,000. As of December 31, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of $2.6 million and working capital of $2.3 million. The working capital decreased due to the operating losses that decreased cash and increased short-term bank credit offset by the increase in trade receivables.

Net cash used in operating activities during 2014, was $3.5 million compared to $2.8 million during 2013. While Net Loss for the period remained relatively constant, the change is primarily attributable to the decrease of other current liabilities and deferred revenues in working capital.

Net cash used by investment activities in 2014, was $10,000 compared to net cash provided of $781,000 in 2013. The change is driven by 2013 cash proceeds from sales of subsidiaries and AppBuilder of $800,000.

Net cash provided in financing activities was $1.3 million in 2014 and net cash used in financing activities was $2 million in 2013. In 2013, we consummated a private placement of 625,000 shares for $2.5 million offset by the repayment of loans to banks and a third party. In 2014, we utilized bank financing of $1.2M for funding of Operating Losses.

Our working capital and line of credit availability is sufficient for our present requirements

Capital Expenditures

Our capital expenditures include consideration paid for fixed assets.

Investment in property and equipment required to support our software development activities was comprised mainly of the purchase of computers and peripheral equipment. This investment amounted to $51,000 in 2014 and $19,000 in 2013.

Treasury Shares

Since January 1, 2014, we have not repurchased any of our shares. As of December 31, 2014, we had repurchased an aggregate of 592,810 of our ordinary shares under our buy-back programs, for an aggregate of approximately $15.2 million. Some of the repurchased shares were allotted to employees and consultants in connection with the exercise of options and vesting of RSUs under our option and award plans. Under our buy-back programs, we may purchase our shares from time to time, subject to market conditions and other relevant factors affecting us. Under the Israeli Companies Law, 1999, referred to as the Companies Law, the repurchased shares held by us do not confer upon their holder any rights. The first buy-back program adopted in May 1998 enables us to purchase our shares, utilizing up to $5 million. Under the second buy-back program adopted in September 1998, and amended in May 1999, we may purchase, up to an additional 500,000 ordinary shares. We do not currently intend to make any additional repurchases under these two buy-back programs.

Contractual Commitments and Guarantees

2009 Warrants

In October 2009, as part of a $4.2 million private placement, we issued to institutional investors Series A Warrants exercisable into 204,686 ordinary shares until October 2014. In October 2014, the remaining 102,343 warrants were exercised for a total of $160,003. As agreed with the investors, we registered the shares purchased by the investors and those underlying the warrants for resale under an effective registration statement.

Chief Scientist

One of our subsidiaries has entered into an agreement with Israel’s Office of the Chief Scientist, or OCS. This subsidiary is obliged to pay royalties to the OCS at a rate of 3% on sales of the funded products, up to 100% of the dollar-linked grant received in respect of these products from the OCS. As of December 31, 2014, the contingent liability amounted to $238,000.

Ministry of Production in Italy

Operating Leases

We are committed under operating leases for rental of office facilities, vehicles, and other equipment for the years 2015 until 2019. Annual rental fees paid in 2014 were approximately $237,000.

Indemnification of Office Holders

We entered into an undertaking to indemnify our office holders in specified limited categories of events and in specified amounts, subject to certain limitations.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

The following table summarizes our contractual obligations and commitments as of December 31, 2014:

	Payment due by period
Contractual Obligations	Total		Less than 1 year		1–2 years		3-5 years		More than 5 years
	in thousands $		in thousands $		in thousands $		in thousands $		in thousands $
Operating Lease Obligations		808		286		222		300		—

Loans from Others		154		40		40		74		—

Total		962		326		262		374		—

The above table does not include royalties that we may be required to pay to the OCS and that may reach, in the aggregate, as of December 31, 2014, $238,000. For more information about grants received from the OCS, see the section “Business— Business Overview - Chief Scientist Grants”. We are unable to reasonably estimate the amounts that we will eventually be required to pay to the OCS, if at all, and the timing of such payments, since these payments depend on our ability to sell products based on the OCS-funded technologies and the timing of such sales, if any.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have any off balance sheet arrangements in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.

Effective Corporate Tax Rates

Under Israeli law, Israeli corporations are generally subject to 26.5% corporate tax rate starting on January 1, 2014 (25% in 2013). An Israeli company is subject to tax on its worldwide income. An Israeli company that is subject to Israeli taxes on the income of its non-Israeli subsidiaries will receive a credit for income taxes paid by the subsidiary in its country of residence, subject to certain conditions. Israeli tax payers are also subject to tax on income from a controlled foreign corporation, according to which an Israeli company may become subject to Israeli taxes on certain income of a non-Israeli subsidiary, if such subsidiary’s primary source of income is a passive income (such as interest, dividends, royalties, rental income, or capital gains).

Our international operations are taxed at the local effective corporate tax rate in the countries where our activities are conducted. We have significant amounts of carry forward losses, including at Modern Systems Corporation from which our headquarters operates.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As of December 31, 2014, we have an outstanding $154,000 loan to the Ministry of Production in Italy payable in annual installments until September 2018. The loan bears a minimal annual interest of 0.87% and is linked to the euro.

Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, such as euro or NIS versus the dollar may have a negative impact on our operating results and financial condition. Exposure relating to these exchange rates is recorded under the financial expenses line item of our consolidated statements of operations. Accordingly, financial expenses may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter.

The table below details the balance sheet main currency exposure. The details are provided by currency, as of December 31, 2014 (at fair value):

	Euro		British Pound		New Israeli Shekel		USD		Other		Total

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation was performed by our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in the Rules 13(a)-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Disclosure controls and procedures are those controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act filings is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2014, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

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 Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014 based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting were effective as of December 31, 2014.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls, will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within Modern Systems have been detected.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires that our directors, executive officers, and greater-than-10% shareholders file reports with the SEC and the NASDAQ on their initial beneficial ownership of our common shares and any subsequent changes. They must also provide us with copies of the reports. We were not subject to Section 16(a) during the year ended December 31, 2013, since we were a foreign private issuer. Since becoming subject to Section 16(a) on January 1, 2014, each of Matt Bell, Rick Rinaldo, Rick Oppedisano, Melvin L. Keating, Carla Corkern, Bryan Crynes, Thomas J. Jurewicz and Harel Kodesh failed to file a Form 3 indicating initial ownership as of such date. In addition, each of the foregoing executive officers and directors failed to file monthly Form 4s with respect to the vesting of restricted stock units, as further described in “Item 11 – Executive Compensation.” The Company is in the process of working with each of its directors and officers to file each of the missing reports identified above as soon as possible. In addition, Prescott Group Aggressive Small Cap Master Fund, G.P, failed to file a Form 4 with respect to the acquisition of 102,343 ordinary shares upon the exercise of warrants in October 2014.

Procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees

Neither our articles of association, nor the Companies Law, include any procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to the registrant’s board of directors.

Board of Directors

Pursuant to our articles of association, directors are elected at a general meeting of our shareholders by a vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power represented at the meeting. Additional directors may be elected between general meetings by a majority of our directors. Our board is comprised of five persons, four of which (Brian Crynes, Thomas Jurewicz, Carla Corkern, and Melvin Keating) have been determined to be independent within the meaning of the applicable NASDAQ requirements. Two of these independent directors (Brian Crynes and Carla Corkern) also serve as outside directors mandated under Israeli law and subject to additional criteria to help ensure their independence (See “Outside Directors under the Companies Law” below). Each director, except for the outside directors, holds office until the next annual general meeting of shareholders, when, subject to any law, such director may be reappointed for an additional term of service. Officers are appointed by our board of directors.

Under the Companies Law, a person who lacks the necessary qualifications and the ability to devote an appropriate amount of time to the performance of his or her duties as a director shall not be appointed to serve as a director of a publicly traded company. While determining a person’s compliance with such provisions, the company’s special requirements and its scope of business shall be taken into account. Where the agenda of a shareholders meeting of a publicly traded company includes the appointment of directors, each director nominee is required to submit a declaration to the company confirming that he or she has the necessary qualifications and he or she is able to devote an appropriate amount of time to performance of his or her duties as a director. In the declaration, the director nominee shall specify his or her qualifications and confirm that the restrictions set out in the Companies Law do not apply.

In addition, each director nominee must include in his or her declaration a statement, the content of which shall be that he or she was not convicted for certain criminal or securities laws offenses provided under the Companies Law. Any person nominated to serve as an office holder of a publicly-traded company shall also comply with such disclosure requirements.

Furthermore, under the Companies Law, a person shall not be appointed as a director or an office holder of a publicly-traded company (i) if a court has ordered that due to the severity and circumstances of an offense committed by a nominee, such nominee is not fit to serve as a director or an office holder of a public company; or (ii) the administrative enforcement committee mandated under the Israeli Securities Law, 1969, referred to as the Securities Law, imposed on such nominee restrictions with respect to serving as a director or office holder, as applicable, of a publicly-traded company for a certain period of time.

Under the Companies Law, if a director or office holder ceases to comply with any of the requirements provided in the Companies Law, such director must notify the company immediately, and his or her term of service shall terminate on the date of the notice.

Outside Directors under the Companies Law

Under the Companies Law, companies incorporated under the laws of Israel whose shares have been offered to the public in or outside of Israel, are required to appoint at least two outside directors.

The Companies Law provides that a person may not be appointed as an outside director if such person is a relative of the controlling shareholder, or if such person or the person’s relative, partner, employer, another person to whom he was directly or indirectly subject, or any entity under the person’s control, has, as of the date of the person’s appointment to serve as outside director, or had, during the two years preceding that date, any affiliation with any of the following:

	●	the company;
	●	the company’s controlling shareholder;
	●	a relative of the controlling shareholder;
	●	any entity controlled by the company or by the controlling shareholder; or
	●	if the company has no controlling shareholder or a shareholder holding 25% or more of the voting rights — a person that at the time of appointment is the chairman of the board of directors, the chief executive officer or the most senior financial officer of the company, or a shareholder holding 5% or more of the outstanding shares or voting rights of the company.

The term “affiliation” includes:

	●	an employment relationship;
	●	a business or professional relationship maintained on a regular basis;
	●	control; and
	●	tenure as an office holder.

No person may serve as an outside director if: (a) the person’s position or other business activities create, or may create a conflict of interest with the person’s responsibilities as an outside director or may otherwise interfere with the person’s ability to serve as an outside director; (b) at the same time such person serves as a director of another company on whose board of directors, a director of the other company serves as an outside director; (c) the person is an employee of the Israel Securities Authority or of an Israeli stock exchange; (d) such person or such person’s relative, partner, employer or anyone to whom such person is directly or indirectly subordinate, or any entity under such person’s control, has business or professional relations with any person or entity he or she should not be affiliated with, as described in the preceding paragraph, unless such relations are negligible; or (e) such person received compensation, directly or indirectly, in connection with his or her service as a director, other than as permitted under the Companies Law and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

If, at the time of election of an outside director, all other directors who are not controlling shareholders of such company or their relatives are of the same gender, the outside director to be elected must be of the other gender. Outside directors are elected by a majority vote at a shareholders’ meeting, provided that either:

(1)

a majority of the shareholders who are not controlling shareholders and who do not have a personal interest in the appointment (other than a personal interest which does not stem from an affiliation with a controlling shareholder), present and voting at the meeting, voted in favor of the appointment; or

(2)

the non-controlling shareholders or shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the appointment (other than a personal interest which does not stem from an affiliation with a controlling shareholder) who were present and voted against the election, hold no more than two percent of the voting rights at the company.

Pursuant to the Companies Law, all outside directors must have financial and accounting expertise or professional qualifications, and at least one outside director must have financial and accounting expertise. The terms “financial and accounting expertise” and “professional qualifications” have been defined in regulations promulgated under the Companies Law.

If an outside director ceases to comply with any of the requirements provided in the Companies Law with respect to the appointment of outside directors, such outside director must notify the company immediately, and his or her term of service shall terminate on the date of such notice.

Outside directors are elected for a three-year term and may be re-elected for two additional terms of three years each, provided that with respect to the appointment for each such additional three-year term, one of the following has occurred:

(a) the reappointment of the outside director has been proposed by one or more shareholders holding together one percent or more of the voting rights in the company, and the appointment was approved at the general meeting of the shareholders by a simple majority, provided that: (i) in calculating the majority, votes of controlling shareholders or shareholders having a personal interest in the appointment (other than a personal interest which does not stem from an affiliation with the controlling shareholder) and abstentions are disregarded; and (ii) the total number of shares which voted for the appointment held by shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the appointment (other than a personal interest which does not stem from an affiliation with a controlling shareholder) and/or who are not controlling shareholders, exceed two percent of the voting rights in the company; or

(b) the reappointment of the outside director has been proposed by the board of directors and the appointment was approved by such special majority required for the initial appointment of an outside director.

At present, Brian Crynes and Carla Corkern serve as our outside directors. Mr. Crynes is to hold office until November 18, 2017 and Ms. Corkern is to hold office until April 10, 2016. In accordance with the Israeli Companies Regulations (Alleviation for Public Companies Whose Shares are Listed on a Stock Exchange Outside of Israel) 2000, referred to as the Alleviation Regulations, Israeli companies whose shares are listed on a stock exchange outside of Israel, such as our company, may re-appoint an outside director for additional terms not exceeding three years each, beyond the three three-year terms generally applicable, provided that, if an outside director is being re-elected for an additional term or terms beyond the three three-year terms: (i) the audit committee and board of directors must determine that, in light of the outside director’s expertise and special contribution to the board of directors and its committees, the re-election for an additional term is to the company’s benefit; (ii) the outside director must be re-elected by the special majority required for the initial appointment and subject to the provisions stipulated in the Companies Law; and (iii) the term during which the nominee has served as an outside director and the reasons given by the audit committee and board of directors for extending his or her term of service must be presented to the shareholders prior to approval of the reappointment.

Each committee exercising the powers of the board of directors is required to include at least one outside director. However, the audit committee is required to include all outside directors serving on the board of directors.

An outside director is entitled to compensation as provided in regulations promulgated under the Companies Law and is otherwise prohibited from receiving any compensation, directly or indirectly, in connection with services provided as an outside director. For more information about the compensation of our outside directors, see “Compensation of Our Outside Directors” below.

Independent Directors under the Companies Law

Pursuant to the Companies Law, a public company, such as Modern Systems may include in its articles of association provisions relating to corporate governance. Such provisions may include the number of directors which shall be independent of management. Alternatively, a company may adopt the proposed standard provision included in a supplement to the Companies Law, under which a majority of the directors are to be independent, or, if the company has a controlling shareholder or a 25% or more shareholder, that at least one-third of the directors serving on the board be independent. An “independent director” is defined as a director who meets all of the following:

	●	the audit committee confirms that he or she meets the qualifications for being appointed as an outside director, except for the requirement for financial and accounting expertise or professional qualifications; and
	●	he or she has not served as a director of the company for a period exceeding nine consecutive years. For this purpose, a break of up to two years in the service shall not be deemed to interrupt the continuation of the service.

The Alleviation Regulations provide that a director in a company whose shares are listed in a stock exchange outside of Israel, such as Modern System, who meets the criteria of an independent director under the relevant non-Israeli rules relating to independence standards for audit committee membership and who meets certain non-affiliation criteria, which are less stringent than those applicable to outside directors, would be deemed an “independent” director pursuant to the Companies Law provided he or she has not served as a director for more than nine consecutive years. For these purposes, ceasing to serve as a director for a period of two years or less is not deemed to sever the consecutive nature of such director’s service. In accordance with the Alleviation Regulations, a company whose shares are listed in a stock exchange outside of Israel may extend the term of service of its independent directors beyond nine years, for additional terms of service, each of which shall be no more than three years.

As of the date of this Annual Report, our articles of association have not yet been amended to include these provisions of the Companies Law relating to corporate governance.

Qualifications of Other Directors under the Companies Law

Under the Companies Law, the board of directors of a publicly traded company is required to make a determination as to the minimum number of directors who must have financial and accounting expertise according to criteria that is defined in regulations promulgated under the Companies Law. In accordance with the Companies Law, the determination of the board should be based on, among other things, the type of the company, its size, the volume and complexity of its activities and the total number of directors serving on the board. Based on the aforementioned considerations, our board determined that the number of directors with financial and accounting expertise in our company shall not be less than two.

Audit Committee

The Companies Law requires public companies to appoint an audit committee, comprised of at least three directors, and which shall include all of the company’s outside directors as described in “Outside Directors under the Companies Law” above. The majority of the members of the audit committee must be independent directors. The Companies Law further stipulates that the following may not serve as members of the audit committee: (a) the chairman of the board of directors; (b) any director employed by or providing services on an ongoing basis to the company, to the controlling shareholder of the company or an entity controlled by the controlling shareholder of the company; (c) a director whose main income derives from the controlling shareholder; and (d) the controlling shareholder or any relative of the controlling shareholder.

In addition, under applicable NASDAQ rules, we are currently required to have a majority of our board members independent and to maintain an audit committee, whose members are independent of management. Our outside directors, as well as Tom Jurewicz, qualify as independent directors under the applicable NASDAQ rules and those of the Securities and Exchange Commission. We have established an audit committee, consisting of Tom Jurewicz and our two outside directors, Brian Crynes and Carla Corkern. The board has determined that Tom Jurewicz is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by applicable SEC regulations.

Under the Companies Law, the responsibilities of the audit committee include: (a) identifying flaws in the management of a company’s business and making recommendations to the board of directors as to how to correct them; (b) with respect to certain actions involving conflicts of interests and with respect to certain related party transactions, deciding whether such actions are material actions and whether such transactions are extraordinary transactions, for the purpose of approving such actions or transactions; (c) reviewing and deciding whether to approve certain related party transactions and certain transactions involving conflicts of interest, when such authority with respect to such transactions is granted by law to the audit committee; (d) reviewing the comptroller’s work program; (e) examining the company’s internal control structure and processes, the performance of the comptroller and whether the comptroller has at his or her disposal the tools and resources required to perform his or her duties, considering, inter alia, the special needs of the company and its size; (f) examining the external auditor’s scope of work, as well as the external auditor’s fees and providing the corporate organ responsible for determining the external auditor’s fees with its recommendations; and (g) providing for arrangements as to the manner in which the company deals with employee complaints with respect to deficiencies in the administration of the company’s business, and protection to be provided to such employees.

In accordance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and NASDAQ requirements, our audit committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of our independent auditors. In addition, the audit committee is responsible for assisting the board in monitoring our financial statements and the effectiveness of our internal controls. We have adopted a formal audit committee charter that we have implemented, embodying these responsibilities. The audit committee reviews and reassesses the adequacy of the audit committee charter on an annual basis.

Our board of directors authorized our audit committee to act as committee for review of financial statements under the Companies Regulations (Provisions and Terms with Respect to Procedures for Approval of Financial Statements), 2010. Under the regulations, the committee for review of financial statements is required to make recommendations to our board of directors with respect to various issues related to the financial statements, at a reasonable time prior to the approval the financial statements by the board of directors.

Code of Conduct

We have adopted a code of business conduct and ethics applicable to our executive officers, directors and all other employees. A copy of the code is available without charge to all of our employees, investors and others upon request to the following address: Modern Systems, 601 Union Street, Suite 4616, Seattle, Washington 98101, Attn: Chief Financial Officer. In addition, we intend to promptly disclose the nature of any amendment to, or waiver from, our code of business conduct that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or persons performing similar functions on our website in the future.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Committee

In December 2012, an amendment to the Companies Law came into effect which requires publicly traded companies, like us, to establish a compensation committee. In addition, under this amendment, we were required to adopt a compensation policy, to be recommended by the compensation committee, with respect to the remuneration of our executive officers and directors. Such compensation policy must include, among others, certain mandatory provisions as stipulated in the amendment.

The compensation committee is responsible to periodically advise the board of directors as to the necessity to update the compensation policy and to examine its implementation. In the event that a compensation policy is set to expire after a period longer than three years, the compensation committee shall advise the board, every three years, whether such policy should be amended, discontinued or remain intact.

In addition, under the Companies Law, the compensation committee is authorized to approve the compensation of certain executive officers, including the chief executive officer, the company’s directors and the controlling shareholder, if he or she is employed by the company. Furthermore, the compensation committee is authorized to exempt the company from bringing the chief executive officer’s compensation to shareholders approval, under certain circumstances stipulated in the Companies Law.

According to the Companies Law, the compensation committee shall be comprised of no less than three directors and only directors eligible to serve as members of the audit committee may serve on the compensation committee. All of the outside directors must serve as members of the compensation committee and shall constitute a majority thereof. The chairman shall be an outside director. The compensation of all members of the compensation committee shall be identical. Our compensation committee is comprised of those three members serving on the audit committee, which currently include our two outside directors and Tom Jurewicz.

Employment Agreements

We maintain written employment agreements with each of our executive officers. These employment agreements are with Modern Systems Corporation. Executive officers or employees of Modern Systems who also serve as directors or executive officers in our subsidiaries do not receive additional compensation for such service.

The employment agreements are not always specific regarding the term. However, the compensation policy stipulates that such agreements will be for a fixed term that does not exceed three years. Upon the expiry of an employment agreement, the agreement may be extended. If we terminate the employment agreements, we are required to pay the usual severance pay in accordance with applicable law. The agreements with our executive officers provide for annual base salary and other benefits such as vacation, sick leave, health, dental, vision, 401(k) retirement savings plan, life and disability insurance. In addition, our executive officers are required to enter into non-compete and confidentiality agreements. A summary of the material terms of the employment agreements and offer letters with our executive officers is below.

The following definition applies to the term Change of Control in the employment agreements with our executive officers. Change of Control occurs when any person, entity or affiliated group becomes the owner or owners of more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding equity securities of Modern Systems, not including an increase in the current shareholders or any of their affiliates’ holdings.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Transactions with Related Persons

Comerica Bank Loan

Modern Systems Corporation is party to a loan and security agreement with Comerica Bank. Columbia Pacific Advisors, LLC and Prescott Group Capital Management, LLC are guarantors of certain of our obligations under the loan and security agreement.

Registration Rights Agreement

On December 1, 2014, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) by and between us and Mindus Holdings, LTD (“Mindus”). Mindus is affiliated with one of our directors, Scott Miller, as further described in the Item 12 above.

We agreed to provide Mindus with “piggyback” registration rights with respect to the shares issued to Mindus pursuant to an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of October 14, 2014, by and among us, Modern Systems Corporation (f/k/a BluePhoenix Solutions USA, Inc.), a Delaware corporation and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of us (“Parent”), BP-AT Acquisition LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”); Ateras; the stockholders of Ateras listed on the signature page thereof; and Scott Miller (“Stockholder Representative”). The Registration Rights Agreement was entered into as a condition to the closing of the merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, Mindus is entitled to include in any registration statement filed by us under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), all or part of the ordinary shares held by Mindus, subject to certain exceptions and cutbacks (the “Piggyback Rights”). In addition, hawse have agreed to pay expenses and to indemnify Mindus in connection with the exercise of the Piggyback Rights.

The Piggyback Rights terminate upon the earlier of three years after the date of the Registration Rights Agreement, the date of any acquisition, merger, change of control or sale of all or substantially all of our assets or, with respect to any particular holder, at such time that such holder can sell its shares under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act during any three-month period.

Preemptive Rights Agreement

On December 1, 2014, we entered into a Preemptive Rights Agreement by and between us and Mindus (the “Preemptive Rights Agreement”). The Preemptive Rights Agreement was entered into as a condition to the closing of the merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

We have agreed to grant Mindus certain preemptive rights to participate in future issuances of our ordinary shares in accordance with the terms of the Preemptive Rights Agreement. Pursuant to the Preemptive Rights Agreement, Mindus has a right of first refusal to purchase its pro rata share of all equity securities that we propose to sell and issue, with certain exceptions described below.

If Mindus exercises such right to purchase the offered securities, such shareholder must purchase all (but not a portion) of such securities for the price, terms and conditions so proposed. The preemptive rights do not extend to (i) options, warrants or other ordinary share purchase rights issued to employees, officer or directors, or consultants or advisors pursuant to a plan or agreement, (ii) issuance of securities pursuant to a conversion of convertible securities, (iii) stock splits, stock dividends or recapitalization, (iv) issuance of securities pursuant to a merger, consolidation, acquisition or similar business combination, (v) issuance of securities pursuant to certain commercial arrangements, (vi) issuance of securities in connection with strategic transactions involving us that is approved by our Board of Directors, including Scott Miller or (vii) equity securities issued pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

The preemptive rights described above terminate upon the earlier of three years after the date of the Preemptive Rights Agreement or the date of an acquisition of us.

Zulu Software Inc. Merger

On March 30, 2014, our Board of Directors approved the merger of our majority owned subsidiary Zulu Software Inc. with and into our wholly owned subsidiary MS Modernization Services Inc. Each of Tom Jurewicz, one of our directors, and Matt Bell, our Chief Executive Officer, currently serve as directors of Zulu Software Inc. but are receiving no other consideration or other compensation from us or from Zulu Software Inc. in connection with this merger. We expect this merger to occur sometime in April 2015.

Independent Directors under the Companies Law

Pursuant to the Companies Law, a public company, such as Modern Systems, may include in its articles of association provisions relating to corporate governance. Such provisions may include the number of directors which shall be independent of management. Alternatively, a company may adopt the proposed standard provision included in a supplement to the Companies Law, under which a majority of the directors are to be independent, or, if the company has a controlling shareholder or a 25% or more shareholder, that at least one-third of the directors serving on the board be independent. An “independent director” is defined as a director who meets all of the following:

	●	the audit committee confirms that he or she meets the qualifications for being appointed as an outside director, except for the requirement for financial and accounting expertise or professional qualifications; and

	●	he or she has not served as a director of the company for a period exceeding nine consecutive years. For this purpose, a break of up to two years in the service shall not be deemed to interrupt the continuation of the service.

The Alleviation Regulations provide that a director in a company whose shares are listed in a stock exchange outside of Israel, such as Modern Systems, who meets the criteria of an independent director under the relevant non-Israeli rules relating to independence standards for audit committee membership and who meets certain non-affiliation criteria, which are less stringent than those applicable to outside directors, would be deemed an “independent” director pursuant to the Companies Law provided he or she has not served as a director for more than nine consecutive years. For these purposes, ceasing to serve as a director for a period of two years or less is not deemed to sever the consecutive nature of such director’s service. In accordance with the Alleviation Regulations, a company whose shares are listed in a stock exchange outside of Israel may extend the term of service of its independent directors beyond nine years, for additional terms of service, each of which shall be no more than three years.

In addition, under applicable NASDAQ rules, we are currently required to have a majority of our board members independent and to maintain an audit committee, whose members are independent of management. Our outside directors, as well as Messrs. Tom Jurewicz, qualify as independent directors under the applicable NASDAQ rules and those of the Securities and Exchange Commission. We have established an audit committee, consisting of Tom Jurewicz and our two outside directors, Brian Crynes and Carla Corkern.

As of the date of this filing, our articles of association have not yet been amended to include these provisions of the Companies Law relating to corporate governance.

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

Policy of Pre-approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services of Independent Auditors

Our audit committee is responsible for the oversight of our independent auditor’s work. The audit committee’s policy is to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by Ziv Haft, an independent registered public accounting firm and BDO member firm. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services, as further described below. The audit committee sets forth the basis for its pre-approval in detail, listing the particular services or categories of services that are pre-approved, and setting forth a specific budget for such services. Additional services may be pre-approved by the audit committee on an individual basis. Once services have been pre-approved, Ziv Haft independent registered public accounting BDO member firm and our management then report to the audit committee on a periodic basis regarding the extent of services actually provided in accordance with the applicable pre-approval, and regarding the fees for the services performed.

Principal Accountant Fees and Services

Modern Systems was billed for the following fees for professional services rendered by Ziv Haft independent registered certified public accountants (Isr.) for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013:

	2014		2013

Audit Fees		64		76
Audit-Related Fees		25		-
Tax Fees		16		30
All Other Fees		-		-
Total	$	105	$	106

An engagement letter stating the fees above was signed by the Chair of the Audit Committee and our Chief Financial Officer.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of

MODSYS INTERNATIONAL LTD.

(FORMERLY: BLUEPHOENIX SOLUTIONS LTD.)

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ModSys International Ltd. (formerly: BluePhoenix Solutions Ltd.) (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated 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. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its 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, as well as 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, 2014 and 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years period ended December 31, 2014, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

A.	General:

The significant accounting policies, applied on a consistent basis, are as follows:

1. The Company:

ModSys International Ltd. (formerly known as BluePhoenix Solutions Ltd.) (Together with its subsidiaries, the “Company” ,“we”, or “Modern Systems”) is an Israeli corporation, which operates in one operating segment of information technology (“IT”) modernization solutions.

The Company has incurred negative cash from operation and net losses in recent years. The Company currently uses its credit line with Comerica to support its negative cash flow position. Management believes that current cash position is sufficient to support the ongoing operations for the foreseeable future. (See also Note 8A).

2. Accounting Principles:

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted (“GAAP”) in the United States of America.

3. Functional Currency:

The currency of the primary economic environment in which the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries are conducted is the U.S. dollar (“dollar”). In addition, a substantial portion of the Company’s revenues and costs are incurred in dollars. Thus, the functional and reporting currency of the Company is considered to be the dollar. The functional currency of all subsidiaries is the US dollar therefore there is no unrealized gain/loss.

Non-monetary transactions denominated in currencies other than the dollar are measured and recorded in dollar at the exchange rates prevailing at transaction date. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the dollar are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Transaction gain or losses on foreign currency translation are recorded in consolidated statement of operations.

4. Use of Estimates and Assumptions in the Preparation of the Financial Statements:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

B.	Principles of Consolidation:

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ModSys International Ltd. and its subsidiaries in which it has a controlling interest. Acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for under the acquisition method. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. Non-controlling interests are included in equity.

C.	Cash and Cash Equivalents:

Cash equivalents are considered by the Company to be highly-liquid investments, including inter-alia, short-term deposits with banks, which do not exceed maturities of three months at the time of deposit and which are not restricted.

F-8

D.	Reclassifications:

Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

E.	Allowance for Doubtful Accounts:

The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts to ensure trade and financing receivables are not overstated due to uncollectability. The allowance for doubtful accounts was based on specific receivables, which their collection, in the opinion of Company’s management, is in doubt. Trade receivables are charged off in the period in which they are deemed to be uncollectible.

F.	Property and Equipment, Net:

Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated by the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Annual rates of depreciation are as follows:

	%

Computers and peripheral equipment	20-33 (mainly 33)
Office furniture and equipment	6-15 (mainly 7)
Leasehold improvements	Over the shorter of lease term or the life of the assets
Motor vehicles	15

G.	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets:

The Company evaluates property and equipment and purchased intangible assets with definite lives for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company assesses the recoverability of the assets based on the undiscounted future cash flow and recognizes an impairment loss when the estimated undiscounted future cash flow expected to result from the use of the asset plus the net proceeds expected from disposition of the asset, if any, are less than the carrying value of the asset. When the Company identifies an impairment, it reduces the carrying amount of the asset to its estimated fair value based on a discounted cash flow approach or, when available and appropriate, to comparable market values. During the years ending December 31, 2014 and 2013, no impairment losses have been identified.

H.	Goodwill and other purchased intangible assets:

Goodwill and certain other purchased intangible assets have been recorded as a result of acquisitions. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price in a business combination over the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired.

Goodwill is not amortized, but rather is subject to an annual impairment test. The Company is one operating segment and one reporting unit related to its overall IT modernization .The goodwill impairment tests are conducted in two steps. In the first step, the Company determines the fair value of the reporting unit. If the net book value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company would then perform the second step of the impairment test which requires allocation of the reporting unit’s fair value of all of its assets and liabilities in a manner similar to an acquisition cost allocation, with any residual fair value being allocated to goodwill. The implied fair value of the goodwill is then compared to the carrying value to determine impairment, if any.

In 2014 and 2013, the company determined the fair value of a reporting unit using the market approach which is based on the market capitalization by using the share price of the Company in the NASDAQ stock exchange and an appropriate control premium. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013 market capitalization of the Company was significantly higher than the net book value of the reporting unit and therefore there was no need to calculate a control premium or to continue to step 2.

Intangible assets that are not considered to have an indefinite useful life are amortized using the straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of between 10 months to 9 years. The carrying amount of these assets is reviewed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the future undiscounted cash flows the assets is expected to generate. If the asset is considered to be impaired, the amount of any impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the impaired asset (see also Note 1G).

F-9

I.	Research and Development Costs:

Research and development costs are charged to the statement of income as incurred. ASC No. 985, “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 established when detailed program design is completed and verified. Costs incurred by the Company between completion of detailed program design and the point at which the products are ready for general release, have been insignificant. Therefore, all research and development costs have been expensed.

J.	Stock-based Compensation:

In the past two years, the majority of the awards were of restricted stock units (“RSUs”). RSU’s are valued based on the market value of the underlying stock at the date of grant. The Company also has a stock option plan. Stock option awards are measured and recognized as compensation expense based on estimated fair values on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This option pricing model requires that the Company makes several estimates, including the option’s expected life and the price volatility of the underlying stock.

The Company recognizes the estimated fair value of option-based awards and RSUs, net of estimated forfeitures, as stock-based compensation costs using the accelerated vesting method. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 the Company recorded stock-based and RSUs compensation costs in the amount of $0.7 million and 0.6 million, respectively. On December 31, 2014, the total unrecognized stock-based and RSUs compensation costs amounted to $0.7 million, and are expected to be recognized over the next 3 years.

K.	Revenue Recognition:

The Company recognizes revenues from consulting fees based on the number of hours performed. Revenues from maintenance services are recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance period.

When a project involves significant production, modification or customization of software, revenue is recognized according to the percentage of completion method in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 605-35-25. Under this method, estimated revenue is generally accrued based on costs incurred to date, as a percentage of total updated estimated costs. The Company recognizes contract losses, if any, in the period in which they first become evident. There are no rights of return, price protection or similar contingencies in the Company’s contracts.

On December 31, 2014, approximately $2 million of the accounts receivable balance was unbilled due to the customer’s payment terms. On December 31, 2013, the amount of unbilled revenue was $1.2 million. The Company presents revenues from products and revenues from services in separate line items.

The product revenue line item includes revenue generated from stand-alone software products. In the services revenue line item, the Company includes revenue generated from maintenance and consulting fees and revenues accounted for pursuant to ASC 605-35-25. Tax collected from customers and remitted to government authorities (including VAT) are presented in the income statement on a net basis.

L.	Advertising Costs:

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 were $153 and $109 thousand, respectively.

F-10

M.	Income Taxes:

Deferred taxes are determined utilizing the “asset and liability” method, whereby deferred tax asset and liability account balances are determined based on differences between financial reporting and the 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 provides a valuation allowance, when it’s more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are classified as current or non-current based on the expected reversal dates of the specific temporary differences.

The Company applied ASC Topic 740-10-05, Income Tax, which provides guidance for recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions, it prescribes a threshold condition that a tax position must meet for any of the benefits of the uncertain tax position to be recognized in the financial statements. It also provides accounting guidance on derecognizing, classification and disclosure of these uncertain tax positions. The Company’s policy on classification of all interest and penalties related to unrecognized income tax positions, if any, is to present them as a component of income tax expense.

N.	Loss Per Share:

Basic net earnings per share are computed based on the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during each year (including fully vested RSUs), net of treasury shares. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during each year, plus dilutive potential ordinary shares considered outstanding during the year (see also Note 12C). Since the Company incurred net loss during the periods presented, no diluted EPS was presented as all the potential ordinary shares were anti-dilutive.

O.	Financial Instruments:

1. Concentration of credit risks:

Financial instruments that have the potential to expose the Company to credit risks are mainly cash and cash equivalents, bank deposit accounts, and trade receivables.

The Company holds cash and cash equivalents, and deposit accounts at large banks in Israel, the United States, and Europe, thereby substantially reducing the risk of loss.

The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers for the purpose of determining the appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts and generally does not require collateral. An appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts is included in the accounts.

2. Fair value measurement:

The Company measures fair value and discloses fair value measurements for financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The accounting standard establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described below:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.

Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible and considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value.

P.	Comprehensive loss:

Comprehensive loss, net of related taxes where applicable, includes only net income.

F-11

Q.	Treasury Shares:

In the past, the Company repurchased its ordinary shares from time to time on the open market and they are currently held as treasury stock. The Company presents the cost to repurchase treasury stock as a reduction of shareholders’ equity. When treasury shares are used as consideration for share based payment the reduction is based on average purchase cost.

R.	Derivative Liabilities - Warrants:

In connection with , determining whether an instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an Entity’s own stock, “ASC 815-40-15,(formerly EITF 07-05), the Company determined that the warrants issued at several occasions (ratchet down of exercise price based upon lower exercise price in future offerings) are not indexed to the Company’s own stock and therefore should be recorded as a derivative financial liability for pursuant FASB ASC Topic 815 “Derivative and Hedging” (ASC 815-40-25). See also note 10A3

S.	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity”. The amendments in this standard change the requirements for reporting discontinued operations in Subtopic 205-20. The amendments in this update will be effective prospectively for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014. The Company is still assessing whether this adoption will have an effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from contracts with customers (Topic 606). The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply a five step methodology: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price;(4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. An entity should apply the amendments in this update using one of the following two methods: (1) retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (along with some practical expedients); or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying this update recognized at the date of initial application. The amendments in this update will be effective prospectively for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company is still assessing whether this adoption will have an effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial statements – Going concern (subtopic 205-40), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern” (“ASU 2014-14”). The new standard provides guidance on management’s responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and about related footnote disclosures. For each reporting period, management will be required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the financial statements are issued. ASU 2014-15 applies prospectively to annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and to annual periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company does not expect material impacts on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. The Company is still assessing whether this adoption will have an effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 - Certain Transactions:

We have entered into other agreements as explained below to expand our market share.

A.	*BP-AT Merger with Sophisticated Business Solutions*

On December 1, 2014, we completed a merger with Sophisticated Business Systems, Inc., a Texas corporation doing business as “Ateras.” At the closing, BP-AT Acquisition LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Modern Systems Corporation (f/k/a BluePhoenix Solutions USA, Inc.), a Delaware corporation and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of ModSys International Ltd merged with and into Ateras (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of BP-AT Acquisition LLC ceased and Ateras continued as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Modern Systems Corporation. The new entity was then renamed MS Modernization Services, Inc.

Upon the closing of the Merger, we issued 6,195,494 unregistered ordinary shares, par value NIS 0.04 per share, to the former Ateras shareholders in exchange for the cancellation of the shares of Ateras stock held by such shareholders in connection with the Merger. In connection with the closing of the Merger, Scott Miller was elected to our Board of Directors. In addition, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement by and a Preemptive Rights Agreement as conditions to the closing of the Merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

Due to the fact the issuance was of restricted shares, the purchase consideration was calculated with an 11.4% discount for lack of marketability ("DLOM") on the share price as of the closing date. It should be noted that sales of restricted shares pursuant to Rule 144 will be subject to a minimum six-month holding period and, following any required holding period, sales by any affiliate shareholders will be subject to volume and other limitations.

The purchase consideration was allocated to tangible assets and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values using a purchase price allocation made by an independent third party. The Company is still in a process of obtaining third-party valuations of certain intangible assets, thus, the provisional measurements of intangible assets, goodwill and deferred income tax are subject to change. The estimated fair value assigned to identifiable intangible assets acquired has been determined by using valuation methods that discount expected future cash flows to present value using estimates and assumptions determined by management. Based on the above, the Company determined that the estimated fair values of assets acquired exceeded the purchase price by approximately $13.3 million, which is recognized as goodwill. Upon the provisional purchase price allocation, an amount of $345 thousand was allocated to Order Backlog to be amortized over 10 months and an amount of $5.2 million to technology to be amortized over an 8.7 year period. The table below summarizes the provisional estimates of the fair value of assets acquired at the purchase date.

As of December 31, 2014, the contingent liability that was not recognized amounted to $238 thousand.

Ministry of Production in Italy. During 2007, our subsidiary, Blue Phoenix I-ter S.R.L (I-ter)., received an amount of $585 thousand from the Ministry of Production in Italy for I-ter’s Easy4Plan product. Easy4Plan is a workflow management tool designed for ISO9000 companies. Of the funds received, 36.5% constitute a grant, and the remaining 63.5%, is a 10-year loan to be repaid by I-ter in annual installments until September 2018. The loan bears a minimal annual interest of 0.87% and is linked to the euro. As of December 31, 2014, the remaining loan balance was approximately $154 thousand.

B.	Contingencies:

The Company evaluates estimated losses for indemnifications due to product infringement under FASB Topic ASC 450 “Contingencies”. At this time, it is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount under these indemnification clauses due to lack of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Such indemnification agreements may not be subject to maximum loss clauses. Historically, the Company has not incurred material costs as a result of obligations under these agreements and has not accrued any liabilities related to such indemnification obligations in the Company’s financial statements.

Note 10 - Equity:

A.	Share Capital:

On January 31, 1997, the Company’s ordinary shares were first offered in an initial public offering. Since this transaction, the Company’s shares have been traded in the United States on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol “BPHX.”. In December 2014, in connection with a change of our corporate name, we changed our symbol to “MDSY.”

In January 2001, the Company’s ordinary shares were listed for trading on the Tel-Aviv stock Exchange under the “Dual Listing” arrangement. On September 11, 2012, the Company reported the voluntary delisting of its ordinary shares from trading on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, which delisting became effective on December 13, 2012.

Ordinary shares confer upon their holders the rights to receive notice to participate and vote in general meeting of the Company, and the right to receive dividends if declared. In 2009, the Company’s board of directors and shareholders approved the increase of the authorized share capital to NIS 40,000,000 comprised of 40,000,000 ordinary shares of NIS 0.01 par value each.

In 2012, the authorized number of shares was increased from 10,000,000 to 17,500,000 shares with a par value of NIS 0.04. In 2014, the authorized number of shares was increased from 17,500,000 to 25,000,000 shares with a par value of NIS 0.04.

On March 19, 2012, the Company entered into a series of agreements that became effective on May 4, 2012 with three of the Company’s shareholders: Lake Union, Prescott and Columbia, or the three shareholders, An Assignment and Assumption Agreement pursuant to which the rights and obligations of the lenders with respect to a $5 million loan granted to us in April 2011 and was due in May 2012, by a financial institution and other lenders, were purchased by the three shareholders in equal shares, subject to certain terms and conditions. The agreement contained conversion option.

In addition, the three shareholders provided to us a $500 thousand bridge loan for one year bearing nominal interest of 7% per annum. The principal and the accrued interest can be converted into shares according to the lower of 30-day volume weighted average price per share prior to closing or 3$ per share.

During the second quarter of 2012 the three shareholders exercised their conversion right with respect to the two loans as abovementioned (within the 120 days period), and accordingly, the Company issued to Lake Union 1,221,027 ordinary shares, to Prescott 1,230,820 ordinary shares and to Columbia 1,226,545 ordinary shares based on the $1.56 per share which is the 30-day volume weighted average price per share prior to closing. Upon conversion the principal and accrued interest net of discount and the derivative amounted to $9.6 million were classified to equity.

In November 2013, the Company issued 625,000 ordinary shares to Prescott Group Aggressive Small Cap Master Fund, G.P. (“Prescott”) at a price per ordinary share of $4.00 in a private placement. The Company received aggregate gross proceeds of $2.5 million. Issuance expenses amounted to $210 thousand the issuance of such shares was exempt from registration in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for transactions not involving any public offering. There were no underwriting discounts or commissions in connection with such offering.

From and after the Closing Date until the earlier of (i) the second anniversary of the Closing Date, or (ii) to the consummation of a Qualified Financing of $5 million as set forth in the agreement if the Company, sells or issues Ordinary Shares or securities exercisable or convertible into Ordinary Shares for a price per share less than $4 than additional shares will be issued to the investors based on a Formula set forth in the agreement. The company analyzed this anti-dilution feature and concluded that (i) it is not a free standing instrument and (ii) it should be bifurcated as an embedded derivative. The Company classified the share in shareholder equity.

In September 2014, Prescott signed a waiver stating that the issuance of the 6,195,494 ordinary shares for the merger described below shall not result in the issuance of additional ordinary shares or other securities of the Company to Prescott and further agreed that the issuance of securities in connection with the Merger did not terminate the “Protection Period” (as such term is defined in the Prescott Agreement).

F-19

As of December 31, 2014, the Company holds a total of 33,239 of its shares in a total consideration of 1.8 million. All of the Company’s ordinary shares have equal voting rights. However, under applicable Israeli law, the shares held by the Company have no voting rights and, therefore, are excluded from the number of its outstanding shares. Since 2010, the Company uses these treasury shares for the issuance of shares pursuant to exercise of options and vested RSUs to meet the Company’s common stock requirements for its stock benefit plans. In March 2008, the board of directors approved two buy-back programs. Under the buy-back programs, the Company may purchase its shares from time to time, subject to market conditions and other relevant factors affecting the Company. In 2009, the Company repurchased 11,249 of its shares for an aggregate amount of $1.7 million under the buy-back programs.

Derivative liability- warrants:

As part of a private placement transaction of shares and warrants in 2009, the Company issued warrants to purchase ordinary shares with an exercise price of $1.56. The warrants were exercisable during a 5-year period from October 2009. As a result of anti-dilution protection, the warrants were not considered indexed to the Company’s own stock and (ratchet down of exercise price based upon lower exercise price in future offerings), and therefore recorded at issuance date as a derivative financial liability pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 815 “ Derivative and Hedging” (ASC 815-40-25). The Company measured the fair value of the outstanding warrants at issuance and at the balance sheet date using a Black-Scholes valuation model. In October 2014, the remaining 102,343 warrants were exercised for a total value of $160,003.

B.	Share Options:

Employee Share Option Plans:

Stock-based compensation plans comprise employee stock option plans and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to employees, officers and directors. The purpose of the plans is to enable the Company to attract and retain qualified personnel and to motivate such persons by providing them with an equity participation in the Company.

As of December 31, 2014, the Company has two share-based compensation plans: (a) the 1996 Share Option Plan, and (b) the 2007 Award Plan. Both plans are described below. The compensation costs that were charged to income for those plans amounted to $0.7 million and $0.6 million for 2014 and 2013, respectively.

In 1996, the Company adopted two option plans (the 1996 Share Option Plan). One of these option plans was terminated after all options granted under it were exercised. Pursuant to the other 1996 option plan, as amended, the Company reserved 1,050,000 ordinary shares for issuance to directors, officers, consultants and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. The exercise price of the options granted under the 1996 option plan ranges from $1.8 to $20. As of December 31, 2014, 80,163 stock options remain available for future awards.

Under the 1996 option plan, unless determined otherwise by the board, options vest over a three to four years period from the date of grant and expire 10 years after grant date. Unvested options are forfeited 30-90 days following termination of employment. Any options that are forfeited before expiration become available for future grants.

F-20

The following table summarizes information about share options outstanding and exercisable as of December 31, 2014:

Options Outstanding				Options Exercisable
Number Outstanding on December 31, 2014		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life		Number Exercisable on December 31, 2014		Exercise Price
		Years				$
	300,000		7.32		275,000		1.80
	70,000		8.28		46,667		3.87
	6,250		4.60		6,250		10.16

	7,600		1.00		7,600		20.00
	393,850				345,517

Data related to the share option plan as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 and changes during the years ended on those dates are as follows:

	2014					2013
	Number of Options			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Number of Options			Weighted Average Exercise Price
				$					$

Options outstanding at the beginning of year		441,589			3.18		351,287			3.48

Changes during the year:
Granted		-					110,000			3.97
Exercised		-					-
Forfeited		(47,739	)		5.56		(19,698	)		12.95

Options outstanding at end of year		393,850					441,589

Options exercisable at year-end		345,517					235,760

Weighted-average fair value of options granted during the year*		-				$	2.45

The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: dividend yield of 0% for all years; expected volatility: 2013 – 69%; risk-free interest rate: 2013 – 1.15%; and expected life: 2013 – 6.06 years. There were no options granted in 2014.

No options were exercised in 2014 and 2013.

The Company is required to assume a dividend yield as an input in the Black-Scholes model. The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s historical experience and expectation of future dividends payouts and may be subject to change in the future.

F-21

The Company uses historical volatility in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation - stock compensation”. The computation of volatility uses historical volatility derived from the Company’s exchange-traded shares.

The risk-free interest assumption is the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds, issued with a remaining term equal to the expected life term of the Company’s options.

Pre-vesting rates forfeitures are approximately 15% and were estimated based on pre-vesting for feature experience.

The Company uses the simplified method to compute the expected option term for options granted.

Restricted Share Units (RSU):

In 2007, the Company adopted the 2007 Award Plan (RSU plan). In 2014 and 2013, under the RSU plan, as amended, the Company granted 140,097 and 248,988 RSUs, respectively. Under the RSU plan, unless determine otherwise by the board of directors, RSUs vest over a three years period from the date of the grant. Approved for immediate vesting on grant date were 7,848 and 33,998 RSUs in 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Data related to the restricted stock units as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 and changes during the year were as follows:

Note 11 - Income taxes:

A.	Basis of taxation:

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to tax in many jurisdictions and a certain degree of estimation is required in recording the assets and liabilities related to income taxes. The Company believes that its accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open years. The Company considers various factors in making these assessments, including past history, recent interpretations of tax law, and the specifics of each matter. Non-Israeli subsidiaries are taxed according to the tax laws in their respective country of residence.

The Company elected to compute its taxable income in accordance with Income Tax Regulations (Rules for Accounting for Foreign Investors Companies and Certain Partnerships and Setting their Taxable Income), 1986. Accordingly, the Company’s taxable income or loss is calculated in U.S. dollars. Applying these regulations reduces the effect of foreign exchange rate (of NIS against the U.S. dollar) on the Company’s Israeli taxable income.

Taxable income of Israeli companies is subject to tax at the rate of 26.5% and 25% in 2014 and 2013, respectively.
