NOTE 1 –DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Description of Business
magicJack VocalTec Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") is a cloud communications leader that is the inventor of the magicJack devices and other magicJack products and services. magicJacks weigh about one ounce and plug into the USB port on a computer or into a power adapter and high speed Internet source, provides users with complete phone service for home, enterprise and while traveling. The Company charges customers for the right to access its servers ("access right"), and the Company's customers then continue to have the ability to obtain free telephone services. The Company currently offers the magicJack GO and magicJack EXPRESS, which are updated versions of the magicJack device that have their own CPU and can connect a regular phone directly to the user's broadband modem/router and function as a standalone phone without using a computer. The magicJack mobile apps are applications that allow users to make and receive telephone calls through their smart phones using their magicJack account. Currently, consumers that do not have a magicJack account can purchase and download the magicJack mobile apps to make telephone calls from anywhere in the world into the U.S. or Canada for free. The mobile apps include the magicApp and the magicJack Connect App, which are available for both iOS and Android. The Company's products and services allow users to make and/or receive free telephone calls to and from anywhere in the world where the customer has broadband access to the Internet, and allow customers to make free calls back to the United States and Canada from anywhere legally permitted in the world.
magicJack VocalTec is a vertically integrated group of companies. The Company owns a micro-processor chip design company, an Appserver and session border controller company, a wholesale provider of Voice-over-Internet-Protocol ("VoIP") services, a softphone company, and the developer and provider of the magicJack
device. The Company also wholesales telephone service to VoIP providers and telecommunication carriers.
The Company was incorporated in the State of Israel in 1989 and is domiciled in Netanya, Israel, with executive and administrative offices in West Palm Beach, Florida, technology management offices in Franklin, Tennessee, and research and development offices in Plano, Texas, and Sunnyvale, California. In addition, the Company's Core Consumer business has a warehouse and customer care call center in West Palm Beach, Florida. Broadsmart's offices are located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Basis of Presentation
The Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements that are included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. Management believes, however, that all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The balance sheet at December 31, 2016 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
The Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are the basis for the discussion and analysis of the Company's results of operations, liquidity and capital resources. References to authoritative accounting literature in this report, where applicable, are based on the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC"). The Company's functional and reporting currency is the United States Dollar ("U.S. Dollar"), which is the currency of the primary economic environment in which its consolidated operations are conducted. Transactions and balances originally denominated in U.S. Dollars are presented at their original amounts. Transactions and balances in currencies other than U.S. Dollars, including NIS and PLN, are re-measured in dollars and any gains or losses are recognized in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations in the period they occur.
We have historically prepared our consolidated financial statements on the basis of being a single reporting entity. Beginning in the first quarter of 2016, with the acquisition of North American Telecommunications Corporation d/b/a Broadsmart ("Broadsmart") and the internal development of our SMB division, we have been reporting the results of operations for these new business lines as separate Reportable Segments.
Approximately 86% and 90% of the Company's consolidated revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, were from sales to customers located in the United States.
The majority of the Company's Core Consumer segment revenues recognized were generated from sales of the magicJack product line and from the software access right that accompanies these products, which were $18.1 million and $20.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company's Core Consumer segment also provides its customers with the ability to make prepaid calls using the magicJack devices and magicJack APP by purchasing prepaid minutes. Revenues generated from the usage of prepaid minutes were $1.2 million and $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
The Company's Enterprise segment was launched with the acquisition of Broadsmart on March 16, 2016. The majority of the Company's Enterprise segment revenues recognized were generated from Broadsmart hosted
Unified Communication as a Service ("UCaaS")
services and sales of hardware and equipment which were $2.7 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
The Company's SMB segment did not generate significant revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.
Basis of Consolidation
The Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of magicJack VocalTec and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The results of Broadsmart Global, Inc. have been included since March 17, 2016. The results of SMB have been included since the first quarter of 2016. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications may have been made to prior period financial statement amounts to conform to the current presentation. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2017 may not be indicative of the results for the entire year ending December 31, 2017. The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in this report and in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed on March 16, 2017.
Noncontrolling Interest
During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company formed a new subsidiary and entered into a joint venture with an unrelated third party which resulted in the Company having a 60% controlling interest in the joint venture which began selling a line of high-technology residential consumer products in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016. On March 31, 2017, this interest was reduced to 36% and the Company executed an agreement to sell its remaining interest to the unrelated third party with closing to occur within 60 days. Based on the difference between the sales price from the agreement and the carrying value of the asset, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $0.4 million in general and administrative expense in the Core Consumer segment of the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017. To date, the Company has spent approximately $1.8 million funding the operations of this joint venture.
The operations of the joint venture for the three months ended March 31, 2017 were not significant to the Company's financial statements. The Company's consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2017, include an adjustment to income attributable to magicJack VocalTec Ltd. common shareholders of $67 thousand, to recognize the impact of the noncontrolling interest. The Company has determined that the joint venture does not meet either the aggregation criteria to be combined with the existing Core Consumer segment or the quantitative thresholds to be treated as a separate reportable segment. As such, it is included in the "Other" category of the Company's segment reconciliation. Refer to
Note 16,
"Segment Reporting," for further details.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of significant accounting policies used in preparing the Company's financial statements, including a summary of recent accounting pronouncements that may affect its financial statements in the future, follows:
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates and judgments are revised periodically as required. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include allowances for billing adjustments and doubtful accounts, the recoverability of long-lived assets and goodwill, income taxes, income tax valuation allowance, uncertain tax liabilities, the value of ordinary shares issued in asset acquisitions, business combinations or underlying the Company's ordinary share options, and estimates of likely outcomes related to certain contingent liabilities.
The Company evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis. The Company's estimates and assumptions are based on factors such as historical experience, trends within the Company and the telecommunications industry, general economic conditions and on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The results of such assumptions form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily available. Actual results may differ from the Company's estimates and assumptions as a result of varying market and economic conditions, and may result in lower revenues and net income.
Fair Value
The Company accounts for financial instruments in accordance with ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures", which provides a framework for measuring fair value and expands required disclosure about fair value measurements of assets and liabilities. ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company's judgements about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows:
Level 1 – Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Valuations based on inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 – Valuation based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
When available, the Company uses quoted market prices to determine fair value, and it classifies such measurements within Level 1. Fair value measurements are classified according to the lowest level input or value-driver that is significant to the valuation. Fair value includes the consideration of nonperformance risk. Nonperformance risk refers to the risk that an obligation (either by a counterparty or the Company) will not be fulfilled. For the Company's financial assets traded in an active market (Level 1), the nonperformance risk is included in the market price. The Company's assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis at fair value may include marketable securities and time deposits. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, all of them were Level 1 instruments. The fair value of Level 2 securities is estimated based on observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. The carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued expenses are expected to approximate fair value because of their immediate availability, near term maturities or potential interest payments at settlement.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity at acquisition of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Investments
Investments consist of interest bearing time deposits with maturity dates of greater than 90 days totaling $447 thousand and $367 thousand at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.
The fair value of time deposits at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was determined based on face value, which approximates fair value and is a Level 1 input. There was no realized gain or loss on investments for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Billing Adjustments
The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts and billing adjustments based on the expected collectability of its accounts receivables. That estimate is based on historical collection experience, current economic and market conditions and a review of the current status of each customer's trade accounts receivable. The allowance includes estimates of billing adjustments, which are negotiated with other telecommunications carriers and are common in the telecommunications industry.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost primarily determined using the first-in first-out cost method. Inventory is written off at the point it is determined to be obsolete.
Receivable from Earnout Escrow
The 2016 acquisition of Broadsmart, described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016,
included an additional contingent payment of $2.0 million in cash to the sellers, if the acquired assets generated 2016 revenues equal to or exceeding $15.6 million (the "Earnout Payment"). The $2.0 million Earnout Payment was paid into escrow at the time of closing. In the third quarter ended September 30, 2016, management concluded that it was remote that the revenue target would be reached, and accordingly recorded a $2.0 million receivable from earnout escrow in the consolidated balance sheets. Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2016 did not reach the target and the Company has requested return of the funds.
Property, Equipment and Depreciation Expense
Property and equipment are accounted for under ASC 360, "Property, Plant and Equipment" and consist primarily of servers, computer hardware, furniture, and leasehold improvements. Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which range from three to fifteen years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the term of the lease or useful life of the assets. The cost of substantial improvements is capitalized while the cost of maintenance and repairs are charged to operating expenses as incurred. Refer to
Note 6,
"Property and Equipment" for further details.
The Company reviews property and equipment for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be fully recoverable.
Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Measurement of an impairment loss is based on the fair value of the asset compared to its carrying value. P
roperty and equipment
to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
Management believes there was no impairment of the Company's property or equipment at March 31, 2017.
The Company's hardware consists of routers, gateways and servers that enable the Company's telephony services. Some of these assets may be subject to technological risks and rapid market changes due to the introduction of new technology, products and services and changing customer demand. These changes may result in future adjustments to the estimated useful lives and the carrying value of these assets. Changes in estimated useful lives are accounted for on a prospective basis starting with the period in which the change in estimate is made in accordance with ASC 250-10, "Accounting Changes and Error."
Intangible Assets
Identifiable intangible assets are stated at cost and accounted based on whether the useful life of the asset is definite or indefinite. Identified intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized using the accelerated and straight-line methods over their estimated useful lives, which range from one to seventeen years. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized to operations, but instead are reviewed for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if there is an indicator of impairment.
The Company reviews definite lived intangible assets subject to amortization for possible impairment using a three-step approach. Under the first step, management determines whether an indicator of impairment is present (a "Triggering Event"). If a Triggering Event has occurred, the second step is to test for recoverability based on a comparison of the asset's carrying amount with the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset
and its eventual disposition
. If the sum of the undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, the third step is to recognize an impairment loss for the excess of the asset's carrying amount over its fair value.
Intangible assets subject to amortization to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
The Company recognized impairment charges of $16.6 million on intangible assets during the three months ended March 31, 2017. There were no impairment charges recognized on intangible assets during the three months ended March 31, 2016. Refer to
Note 3,
"Impairment of Intangible Assets, Including Goodwill" and
Note 6,
"Intangible Assets" for further details.
The costs of developing the Company's intellectual property rights, intellectual property right applications and technology are charged to research and development expense as incurred.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is not amortized to operations, but instead is reviewed for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if there is an indicator of impairment. Indicators include, but are not limited to: sustained operating losses or a trend of poor operating performance and a decrease in the Company's market capitalization below its book value.
The Company's valuation methodology for assessing impairment requires management to make judgments and assumptions based on historical experience and projections of future operating performance. If these assumptions differ materially from future results, the Company may record impairment charges in the future.
With the acquisition of Broadsmart in March 2016 and the founding of the SMB business during the first quarter of 2016, management began evaluating each of these new business lines separately and has allocated goodwill between the three reporting units that correspond to the reportable segments – "Core Consumer," "Enterprise" and "SMB". Refer to
Note 7,
"Goodwill" and
Note 16,
"Segment Reporting" for further details.
The Company may utilize a qualitative assessment to determine if it is "more-likely-than-not" that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If so, an impairment test must be performed. If not, no further testing is required and the Company documents the relevant qualitative factors that support its fair value. Qualitative factors may include, but are not limited to: macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors that may have a negative effect on earnings, overall financial performance, and other relevant entity-specific events.
In prior years, the Company used the two-step goodwill impairment test. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, "Intangibles – Goodwill and Other" which eliminated step two of the goodwill impairment test. The Company adopted ASU 2017-04 on a prospective basis in the first quarter of 2017.
The Company recognized impairment charges of $14.9 million on goodwill for the Enterprise reporting unit during the three months ended March 31, 2017. There was no impairment of goodwill during the three months ended March 31, 2016. Refer to
Note 3,
"Impairment of Intangible Assets, Including Goodwill" and
Note 7,
"Goodwill" for further details.
Deferred Revenues
Deferred revenues for the Core Consumer segment consist primarily of billings and payments for magicJack devices and access rights renewals received in advance of revenue recognition. The Company bills and collects in advance for magicJack devices, which include an initial access right period, and access right renewals. The Company recognizes revenue from device sales and access right renewals ratably over the access right period, as described above.
For the Enterprise segment, deferred revenues consist of hardware or equipment purchased but not yet delivered. The Company recognizes revenue from UCaaS hardware or equipment sales in the period they are put into service.
For the SMB segment, deferred revenues consist of billings and payments for phone equipment and services received in advance of revenue recognition. Customers are billed in advance on a monthly or annual basis. The Company recognizes revenue from SMB equipment and services ratably over the service period. Deferred revenue from this segment was not significant as of March 31, 2017.
Deferred revenues to be recognized over the next twelve months are classified as current and included in deferred revenue, current portion in the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The remaining amounts are classified as non-current in the consolidated balance sheets and included in deferred revenue, net of current portion.
Net Revenues
Net revenues consists of revenue from sales of magicJack devices
to retailers, wholesalers or directly to customers, access right renewal fees, fees charged for shipping magicJack devices, usage of domestic and international prepaid minutes, access charges to other carriers, recurring sales of the Company's hosted UCaaS voice services, non-recurring sales of equipment related to its UCaaS services and other miscellaneous charges. The Company typically enters into multi-year agreements, typically with durations of three to five years, to provide the hosted voice and other services. The Company earns revenue from the sale of the hardware and network equipment necessary to operate its UCaaS services directly to its customers. All revenue is recorded net of sales returns and allowances.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 605, "Revenue Recognition", which provides authoritative guidance on revenue recognition. For arrangements that include more than one product or service (deliverables), the Company applies Section 25 of ASC 605, "Multiple-Element Arrangements". ASC 605-25 establishes criteria for separating deliverables into different units of accounting and allocating consideration to those units of accounting.
Core Consumer Segment
magicJack Devices Revenue and Renewal Access Revenue
magicJack devices include an initial access right, which qualify as multiple deliverables per ASC 605-25. Since the device and initial access right are interdependent and not sold separately, they are accounted for as a combined unit of accounting. Direct sales of devices include shipping charges and 30 days to return the device and cancel the service. For retail sales of devices, there is a delay between shipment to the retailer and the ultimate sale to a customer (end-user). Based on sales and inventory data provided by retail partners, the Company's estimate of the delay for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was 30 days and 90 days, respectively. The Company defers revenue recognition on direct sales for the 30 day return period and on retail sales for the delay period, after which the Company recognizes the revenue from device sales ratably over the remaining initial access right period.
Customers may renew access rights for periods ranging from one month to five years. The revenue associated with access right renewals is deferred and recognized ratably over the extended access right period. Revenue from the sales of magicApp and magicJack Connect App access rights is recognized ratably over the access right period.
Sales Return Policy
The Company offers some of its direct sales customers a 30-day free trial before they have to pay for their magicJack device. The Company does not recognize revenue until the 30-day trial period has expired and a customer's credit card has been charged.
Returns from retailers are accepted on an authorized basis for devices deemed defective. The Company may offer certain retailers the limited right to return any unsold merchandise from their initial stocking orders. The Company also accepts returns of battery powerbanks for mobile devices within 30 days of sale. The Company estimates potential returns under these arrangements at point of sale and re-estimates potential returns on a quarterly basis. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company's estimates of returns and actual returns from initial stocking orders have not been materially different.
Other magicJack-Related Products
The Company offers customers other optional products related to their magicJack devices and services, such as insurance, custom or vanity phone numbers, Canadian phone numbers, the ability to either change their existing phone numbers or port them to a magicJack device, and battery powerbanks for mobile devices. These revenues are recognized at the time of sale, with the exception of sales of the battery powerbank which are recognized when shipped.
Prepaid Minutes and Access and Wholesale Charges
The Company generates revenues from the sales of prepaid international minutes to customers, fees for origination of calls to 800-numbers, and access fees charged to other telecommunication carriers on a per-minute basis for Interexchange Carriers ("IXC") calls terminated on the Company's servers. Revenues from access fee charges to other telecommunication carriers are recorded based on rates set forth in the respective state and federal tariffs or negotiated contract rates, less a provision for billing adjustments. Revenues from prepaid minutes and access and wholesale charges are recognized as minutes are used.
Enterprise Segment
UCaaS services and equipment sales related to the Broadsmart subsidiary qualify as multiple deliverables per ASC 605-25. Since the equipment and services are sold separately and can be used with other products and services, they are accounted for as separate units of accounting. The Company recognizes revenues from sales of its hosted services in the period the services are provided over the term of the respective customer agreements. Customers are billed monthly in advance for these recurring services and in arrears for one time service charges and other certain usage charges. Revenues from sales of hardware and network equipment are recognized in the period that the equipment is delivered. Revenue from the sale of equipment purchased but not yet delivered is deferred and recognized in the period that the hardware or equipment is put into service.
SMB Segment
SMB provides phone equipment and services that are interdependent and not sold separately. As such they are accounted for as a combined unit of accounting under ASC 605-25. Some agreements include a refund period or a promotion for free introductory service. Revenue recognition is deferred for either period, after which the Company recognizes the revenue for the combined unit ratably over the remaining service period. Revenue from this segment was not significant for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.
Cost of Revenues
Core Consumer Segment
Cost of revenues for the Core Consumer segment include direct costs of operation of the Company's servers, which are expensed as incurred. These costs include the Company's internal operating costs, depreciation and amortization expense, access and interconnection charges to terminate domestic and international telephone calls on the public switched telephone network and related taxes. Direct costs also include regulatory costs, server maintenance, and costs to co-locate the Company's equipment in other telephone companies' facilities. Direct costs of producing magicJack devices are deferred on shipment and charged to cost of sales ratably over the initial access right period. Deferred costs are included in current assets in the Company's consolidated balance sheets.
Costs incurred for shipping and handling and credit card charges are included in cost of revenues and are expensed as incurred. Costs for shipping and handling and credit card charges were $0.9 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Enterprise Segment
Cost of revenues related to the Company's UCaaS services include direct costs of providing the services, which are expensed as incurred. These costs include charges for access to the public switched telephone network, internet service for its customers, maintenance costs for its software, commissions, credit card charges, contract labor for installation and depreciation and amortization. The Company also incurs costs for hardware and equipment sold to customers, along with related delivery costs, which are recognized in the period they are put into service.
SMB Segment
Cost of revenues for the SMB segment include direct costs of providing the services, which are expensed as incurred, and costs for phone equipment, which are recognized ratably over the service period. Cost of revenues from this segment were not significant for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.
Marketing Expenses
Marketing expenses of $2.4 million and $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, consisted primarily of advertising media buys for television commercials, internet and print advertising, marketing related personnel costs and other marketing projects including sponsorships. Marketing costs are expensed when incurred. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, marketing expenses of $1.1 million, $1.1 million and $0.2 million were related to the Core Consumer, SMB and Enterprise segments, respectively. Marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2016 were related to the Core Consumer segment.

Research and Development Expenses
The Company's research and development activities consist primarily of the design and development of its proprietary software used in the magicJack devices, magicJack APP and its servers, as well as the development of new products and applications for use in its broadband service offerings. The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with applicable accounting pronouncements. These pronouncements specify that costs incurred internally in researching and developing a product should be charged to expense until technological feasibility has been established for the product. Once technological feasibility is established, all costs should be capitalized until the product is available for general release to customers. The Company has determined that technological feasibility for its products is reached after all high-risk development issues have been resolved through internal and customer base testing. Generally, new products offered to customers and improvements to the Company's servers are placed in service on attainment of technological feasibility. The Company has not capitalized any of its research and development activities and related costs.
Research and development expenses were $1.5 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, $0.6 million and $0.1 million of research and development expense, respectively, was related to the SMB segment. The balance of research and development expense was related to the Core Consumer segment.
Share-based Compensation
Share-based compensation generally consists of option grants or ordinary share and restricted stock units awards to directors, officers, employees or consultants. We
account for share-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, "Compensation - Stock Compensation", which requires companies to estimate the fair value of equity-based payment awards on the date of grant based on the fair value of the award. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period.
Income Taxes
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their book basis using enacted tax rates. Any changes in enacted tax rates or tax laws are included in the provision for income taxes in the period of enactment. The Company's net deferred tax assets consist primarily of foreign net operating loss carry-forwards, timing differences between recognition of income for book and tax purposes, and the tax benefit related to the impairment of intangible assets, including goodwill, in the Enterprise segment. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce the net deferred tax assets to the amount that it estimates is more-likely-than-not to be realized. The Company periodically reviews the composition of its deferred tax assets and related valuation allowances and will make adjustments if available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not a change in the carrying amounts is required. The Company increased the valuation allowance by $0.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017. The Company decreased the valuation allowance by $0.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016.
The Company assesses its income tax positions and records tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon its evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date. For those tax positions where there is a greater than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, the Company has recorded the largest amount of tax benefit that may potentially be realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. For those income tax positions that the Company estimates there is a 50% or less likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit has been recognized in the financial statements. The Company revised its liability for uncertain tax positions by an increase of $1.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2017, due primarily to an increase in uncertain tax positions related to various state issues and the revaluation impact of certain Israeli uncertain tax positions. The Company revised its liability for uncertain tax positions by a net increase of $1.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016, due primarily to an increase in uncertain tax positions related to various state issues and the revaluation of certain Israeli tax positions.
The Company records its income tax expense for interim financial statements by using an estimated annual effective income tax rate based on its expected annual results after consideration of permanent nontaxable items. The tax benefits of net operating loss carry-forwards expected to be realized through 2017 and changes in other deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized during interim periods based on an annual forecast as of the interim reporting date. At March 31, 2017, the estimated annual effective income tax rate is expected to approximate
15.2%,
excluding discrete tax items, which includes federal, foreign, state and local taxes. This rate may fluctuate due to changes in jurisdictional income and to the timing of other discrete period transactions during the remainder of the year.
Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income attributable to common shareholders, as defined, includes all changes in equity (net assets) during a period from non-owner sources. The differences between net income and comprehensive income attributable to common shareholders are due to losses attributable to the noncontrolling interest.
Earnings (Loss) per Share Attributable to Common Shareholders
Net income or loss per share attributable to the Company's common shareholders – basic, is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period, including redeemable ordinary shares (if applicable). Net income or loss per share attributable to the Company's common shareholders – diluted, is computed using the weighted average number of common and potentially dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period, including redeemable common shares (if applicable). Potentially dilutive common share equivalents consist of shares issuable upon the exercise or settlement of options to purchase common shares or restricted stock units.
Certain Risks and Concentrations
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, investments and accounts receivable. Cash equivalents generally consist of money market instruments.
The Company places its cash and cash equivalents in high quality financial institutions and management believes that the Company is not exposed to any significant risk on its cash accounts. The Company maintains accounts with various banks and brokerage organizations and constantly monitors the creditworthiness of these institutions. Cash accounts at each U.S. bank are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or FDIC up to $250 thousand in the aggregate and may exceed federally insured limits. Cash accounts at Israeli or Polish banks are not insured. The Company has never experienced any losses related to these balances. At March 31, 2017, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $48.3 million, which included (i) $47.7 million in U.S. financial institutions, and (ii) $0.6 million in foreign financial institutions.
The Company's non-interest bearing cash balances in U.S. banks, which included $2.0 million in one individual financial institution, were fully insured. A total of $0.2 million, primarily held in another financial institution, exceeded insurance limits at March 31, 2017. The Company had money market accounts with financial institutions with balances totaling approximately $45.3 million at March 31, 2017.
For the Core Consumer segment, no telecommunication carrier accounted for more than 10% of gross accounts receivable at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, no telecommunications carrier accounted for more than 10% of the segment's total operating revenues.
For the Core Consumer segment, one U.S. retail customer accounted for approximately 18% of gross accounts receivable at March 31, 2017. Three retail customers accounted for approximately 34% of the segment's gross accounts receivable at December 31, 2016. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, no retailer accounted for more than 10% of the segment's total operating revenues.
For the Enterprise segment, two U.S. retail customers accounted for approximately 35% of gross accounts receivable at March 31, 2017. No customer accounted for more than 10% of gross accounts receivable at December 31, 2016. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, two customers accounted for approximately 30% and 29% of the segment's total operating revenues, respectively.
For the SMB segment, accounts receivable were not significant at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The segment's operating revenues were not significant for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.
Business Combinations
The Company accounts for business combinations under ASC 805, "Business Combinations" using the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method of accounting requires that the purchase price, including the fair value of contingent consideration, of the acquisition be allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed using the fair values determined by management as of the acquisition date. Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of consideration transferred over the net of the acquisition date fair values of assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. While the Company uses its best estimates and assumptions as part of the purchase price allocation process to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, the Company's estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company records adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill to the extent the Company identifies adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period and final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to the consolidated statements of operations. The Company includes the results of all acquisitions in its Consolidated Financial Statements from the date of acquisition. Acquisition related transaction costs, such as banking, legal, accounting and other costs incurred in connection with an acquisition, are expensed as incurred in general and administrative expense.
Acquisition-related integration costs which do not meet the criteria of discontinued operations include: (i) costs associated with exit or disposal activities, (ii) costs for employee, lease and contract terminations, (iii) facility closing costs, and other costs associated with exit activities. Acquisition-related integration costs also include expenses directly related to integrating and reorganizing acquired businesses, employee retention costs, recruiting costs, certain moving costs, certain duplicative costs during integration and asset impairments. These costs are expensed as incurred in general and administrative expense.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." The standard requires entities to recognize revenue through the application of a five-step model, which includes identification of the contract, identification of the performance obligations, determination of the transaction price, allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognition of revenue as the entity satisfies the performance obligations. On July 9, 2015, the FASB deferred the effective dates of the standard by one year. As a result, the standard will be effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Companies may adopt the standard as early as the original effective date (i.e. annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016). Early adoption prior to that date is not permitted. The standard allows for either full retrospective adoption, meaning the standard is applied to all of the periods presented, or a modified retrospective adoption, meaning the standard is applied only to the most current period presented. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08 to provide clarification regarding the application of the principal-versus-agent guidance. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10 to clarify the guidance for identifying performance obligations and accounting for licenses of intellectual property. In May 2016, the FASB also issued ASU 2016-12, which provides narrow scope improvements and technical expedients on assessing collectibility, presentation of sales taxes, evaluating contract modifications and completed contracts at transition and the disclosure requirement for the effect of the accounting change for the period of adoption. In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-20 which made minor corrections and improvements to certain narrow aspects of the guidance. The Company has internally performed a preliminary review of the new guidance and plan to engage consultants to document the appropriate revenue recognition for its various products and services.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, "Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory". This ASU applies to inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out ("FIFO") or average cost. Under the updated guidance, an entity should measure inventory that is within scope at the lower of cost and net realizable value, which is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predicable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory that is measured using last-in, first-out ("LIFO"). The Company adopted ASU 2015-11 on a prospective basis in the first quarter of 2017. Prior periods were not retrospectively adjusted.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases". ASU 2016-02 requires that long-term lease arrangements be recognized on the balance sheet. The standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the guidance to determine the potential impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, "Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments". ASU 2016-15 reduces the diversity of how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows under Topic 230, Statement of Cash Flows, and other Topics. The standard is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The ASU should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the guidance to determine the potential impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting". ASU 2016-09 changes the accounting for certain aspects of stock options and other share-based compensation. This accounting standard requires companies to recognize excess tax benefits or expenses related to the vesting or settlement of employee share-based awards (i.e., the difference between the actual tax benefit realized and the tax benefit initially recognized for financial reporting purposes) as income tax benefits or expenses in the quarterly Financial Statements. The new standard also removes the requirement to delay recognition of a windfall tax benefit until it reduces current taxes payable. Under the new guidance, the benefit is recorded when it arises, subject to normal valuation allowance considerations. The Company adopted ASU 2016-09 on a prospective basis in the first quarter of 2017. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, this adoption had no tax impact to the Company. We will continue to monitor this for each reporting period going forward.
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, "Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory". ASU 2016-16 requires an entity to recognize the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory when the transfer occurs. The standard is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The ASU should be applied retrospectively as an adjustment to retained earnings. The Company is currently evaluating the guidance to determine the potential impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, "Intangibles – Goodwill and Other". ASU 2017-04 eliminates step two of the goodwill impairment test. The standard is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted ASU 2017-04 on a prospective basis in the first quarter of 2017. Prior periods were not retrospectively adjusted.
NOTE 3 – IMPAIRMENT OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS, INCLUDING GOODWILL
As part of the Company's quarterly impairment review for intangible assets with indefinite lives including goodwill, performed as of March 31, 2017, management determined that there were impairment indicators at the Enterprise segment.
As was previously disclosed in the Company's Form 10-K filed on March 16, 2017, the Broadsmart business which comprises the Enterprise segment was underperforming and steps were being taken to improve operating results including the February 2017 hiring of a new Chief Operating Officer for the segment and the hiring of additional sales and marketing personnel dedicated to obtaining new business. The new Chief Operating Officer for the Enterprise segment and the new Executive Management team recently completed a comprehensive review of the Enterprise segment's business prospects and through this process revised the projections for its operating results downward
.
Additionally, Broadsmart received notification in early April 2017 that a major customer would not be renewing its contract and management anticipates the loss of another one of the Enterprise segment's significant customers. Combined, these customers accounted for approximately 29% of the Enterprise segment's revenue in 2016. Management considered the revised projections and customer losses to be indicators of potential impairment, and accordingly performed impairment testing of its long-lived assets and indefinite-lived intangible assets, including goodwill, as of March 31, 2017 utilizing its revised projections for Broadsmart.
Based on the impairment indicators as of March 31, 2017 discussed above, the Company engaged an independent third party to perform a valuation of the Enterprise reporting unit's long-lived assets and indefinite-lived intangible assets, including goodwill, as of March 31, 2017. The valuation estimated the fair value of Broadsmart's identified intangible assets not subject to amortization based on the relief from royalty method, which requires an estimate of a reasonable royalty rate, identification of relevant projected revenues and expenses, and selection of an appropriate discount rate. The Company recorded an impairment charge of $0.9 million for the carrying value in excess of the fair value.
For long-lived assets, including definite-lived intangible assets subject to amortization, management totaled the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of these assets and their eventual disposition and noted that the sum did not exceed the carrying amount of the assets, indicating further impairment testing was necessary for these assets as of March 31, 2017. The estimated fair value of definite-lived intangible assets subject to amortization as of March 31, 2017, was based on discounted future cash flows. The Company recorded impairment losses of $15.7 million for the carrying value in excess of the fair value.
Based on a discounted future cash-flows approach, the third party valuation estimated the fair value of the Enterprise reporting unit to be $17.9 million. Recognition of the goodwill impairment resulted in a tax benefit which was recorded as a deferred tax asset. Since the deferred tax asset increases the carrying value of the reporting unit, it would result in an additional impairment. The accounting guidance requires an entity to calculate the impairment charge and the deferred tax effect using a simultaneous equation method, which effectively grosses up the goodwill impairment charge to account for the related deferred tax benefit so that the resulting carrying value does not exceed the calculated fair value. The simultaneous equation calculation resulted in an impairment charge that exceeded the carrying value of the goodwill. Since the guidance limits goodwill impairments to the carrying value of goodwill, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $14.9 million, the full carrying value of goodwill.
In total, impairment losses of $31.5 million were recognized in operating expenses of the Enterprise segment for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The impaired assets were (in thousands):

As part of the Company's quarterly impairment review for intangible assets with indefinite lives, including goodwill, performed as of March 31, 2017, management determined that there were impairment indicators at the Enterprise segment. Based on
the knowable impairment indicators as of March 31, 2017 discussed in
Note 3,
"Impairment of Intangible Assets, Including Goodwill", the Company engaged an independent third party to perform a valuation of the Enterprise reporting unit's long-lived assets and indefinite-lived intangible assets, including goodwill, as of March 31, 2017.
Based on a discounted future cash-flows approach, the third party valuation estimated the fair value of the Enterprise reporting unit to be
$17.9 million
. Recognition of the goodwill impairment resulted in a tax benefit which was recorded as a deferred tax asset. Since the deferred tax asset increases the carrying value of the reporting unit, it would result in an additional impairment. The accounting guidance requires an entity to calculate the impairment charge and the deferred tax effect using a simultaneous equations method, which effectively grosses up the goodwill impairment charge to account for the related deferred tax benefit so that the resulting carrying value does not exceed the calculated fair value. The resulting impairment is limited to the carrying value of goodwill. In the valuation performed for the Company the impairment calculated using the simultaneous equation method resulted in an impairment charge that exceeded the carrying value of the goodwill. Accordingly, an impairment loss of $14.9 million on goodwill was recognized in operating expenses under the Enterprise segment in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017.
The application of the goodwill impairment test
requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value of each reporting unit. Significant judgment, and the use of significant estimates and assumptions, is required to estimate the fair value of reporting units, including estimating future cash flows, future market conditions, and determining the appropriate discount rates, growth rates, and operating margins, among others.
The discounted cash flow analyses factor in assumptions on revenue and expense growth rates. These estimates are based upon the Company's historical experience, best estimates of future activity, and a cost structure necessary to achieve the related revenues.
Additionally, these discounted cash flow analyses factor in expected amounts of working capital and weighted average cost of capital. The Company believes the assumptions are reasonable. However, there can be no assurance that its estimates and assumptions made for purposes of the goodwill impairment testing, at the annual Measurement Date, will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. Changes in these estimates and assumptions as previously noted, could result in the need to conduct additional goodwill impairment tests in the future and could ultimately result in an impairment charge. In addition, a change in the Company's reporting units could materially affect the determination of the fair value for each reporting unit, which could trigger impairment in the future. The Company will continue to review its results against forecasts and assess its assumptions to ensure they continue to be appropriate.
NOTE 8 – DEFERRED COSTS AND REVENUES
Deferred costs and revenues to be recognized over the next twelve months are classified as current and included in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The remaining deferred revenue amounts are classified as non-current in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Costs necessary to fulfill the Company's obligations to provide broadband telephone service to new and existing customers who have purchased magicJack devices or access rights to access the Company's servers are expensed as incurred. For the Core Consumer segment, such costs were approximately $2.7 million and $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. For the Enterprise segment, such costs were approximately $0.5 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Costs related to providing broadband telephone service to SMB segment customers were not significant for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.
NOTE 9 – OTHER LIABILITIES
As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had recorded a non-current liability for uncertain tax positions of $11.7 million and $10.4 million, respectively.
NOTE 10 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Proceedings
The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims, including intellectual property claims, contractual and commercial disputes, employment claims, state and local tax matters and other matters which arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company's policy is to vigorously defend any legal proceedings. Management regularly evaluates the status of legal proceedings in which the Company is involved in order to assess whether a loss is probable or there is a reasonable possibility that a loss or additional loss may have been incurred and to determine if accruals are appropriate. While the outcome of these claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe that the outcome of any of these legal matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results, financial condition or cash flows. However, an unexpected adverse resolution of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations in a particular fiscal year or quarter.
On March 11, 2016, a purported class action lawsuit was filed against the Company, its then Chief Executive Officer, Gerald Vento, and its Chief Financial Officer, Jose Gordo (together, "the Defendants"), in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. Thereafter, on August 18, 2016, the Plaintiff filed an Amended Complaint. The Amended Complaint alleges that the Company and Mr. Gordo made false and misleading statements regarding the financial performance and guidance during the alleged class period of November 12, 2013 to March 12, 2014. The Plaintiff asserted claims that (i) the Company and Mr. Gordo violated Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and SEC Rule 10b-5; and (ii) that Mr. Vento and Mr. Gordo violated Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act by virtue of their control over the Company. For himself and for the class, the Plaintiff seeks damages, attorneys' fees and costs, and equitable/injunctive relief or such other relief as the court deems proper. The Defendants answered the Amended Complaint on December 23, 2016. The Defendants believe that the Plaintiff's claims are without merit and intend to defend against those claims vigorously. The Company cannot estimate the likelihood of liability or the amount of potential damages, if any.
Tax Contingencies
The Company believes that it files all required tax returns and pays all required federal, state and municipal taxes (such as sales, excise, utility, and ad valorem taxes), fees and surcharges. The Company is the subject of inquiries and examinations by various states and municipalities in the normal course of business. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the Company makes a provision for a liability for taxes when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. These provisions are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. The Company strongly believes any possible claims are without merit and vigorously defends its rights. However, if a government entity were to prevail in any matter, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operation and cash flows. In addition, it is at least reasonably possible that a potential loss may exist for tax contingencies in addition to the provisions taken by the Company. For those potential additional tax contingencies which can be reasonably estimated, that additional potential liability ranges from $0 to $2.5 million dollars.
NOTE 11 –TREASURY STOCK
During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company did not issue any treasury shares; however, 16,666 shares previously issued out of treasury stock were reclassified as they had been issued as new ordinary shares.

NOTE 12 – SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company has granted ordinary share options, issued restricted stock units and ordinary shares as an alternative or supplement to the compensation of its executives, employees, directors and outside consultants. The Company's share-based compensation program is a long-term retention program intended to attract and reward talented executives, employees and outside consultants, and align their interests with stockholders. The Company is currently granting share-based awards under the magicJack VocalTec Ltd. 2013 Stock Incentive Plan and the magicJack VocalTec Ltd. 2013 Israeli Stock Incentive Plan (together, the "2013 Plans"). In July 2013, the shareholders approved the 2013 Plans at the annual general meeting of shareholders to allow grants of ordinary share options, restricted stock units and ordinary shares. In April 2014, the shareholders approved amendments to the 2013 Plans increasing the number of share based awards available for grant. As of March 31, 2017, the aggregate number of shares subject to awards under the 2013 Plans, as amended, is 3,600,000. The Company had previously granted shares under the VocalTec amended Master Stock Plan (the "2003 Plan") which expired in April 2013. Share
-based awards are generally exercisable or issuable upon vesting.
The Company's policy is to recognize compensation expense for awards
with
only service conditions and a graded vesting
on a straight-line basis over the requisite vesting period for the entire award.
The Company's share-based compensation expense for ordinary share options and issued restricted stock units for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was as follows (in thousands):

The decrease in share-based compensation is due primarily to the forfeitures related to reduced headcount and awards that were fully expensed in prior periods.
Ordinary Share Options
Ordinary share options granted under the 2013 Plans have a five-year life and typically vest over a period of 36 months beginning at the date of grant. The 2013 Plans, as amended, currently allow for a maximum term of five years for awards granted.

* The aggregate intrinsic value is the amount by which the market value for the Company's common stock exceeds the weighted average exercise price of the outstanding stock options on the measurement date.
Share-based compensation expense recognized for ordinary share options was approximately $0.4 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. No ordinary share options were exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2017. The total intrinsic value of ordinary share options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $4 thousand. As of March 31, 2017, there was approximately $1.0 million of unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to unvested ordinary share options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average remaining period of 1.93 years.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options. The determination of the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by the Company's stock price, as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. These variables include the Company's expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, assumed employee exercise behaviors, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. For purposes of valuing ordinary share options, the Company used historical volatility at the date of grant. The approximate risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield for comparable periods. The Company has experienced forfeitures in the past and estimates a forfeiture rate for awards issued when deemed applicable. The expected term of the ordinary share options was calculated using the simplified method in accordance with section 10-S99 of ASC 718, "Compensation - Stock Compensation". The Company does not expect to pay dividends on its ordinary shares in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Company used a dividend yield of zero in its option pricing model. The Company did not grant any ordinary share options during the three months ended March 31, 2017. The Company granted 1,000,000 ordinary share options during the three months ended March 31, 2016 with a weighted average fair value of $2.79. The grants were measured using the following assumptions:

Restricted Stock Units
The Company may also award non-vested restricted stock units to its
executives, employees, directors and outside consultants under the 2013 Plans, which may vest based on service or a combination of service and other conditions, such as market share price
. The compensation expense for the award will be recognized assuming that the requisite service is rendered regardless of whether the market conditions are achieved. Each non-vested stock unit, upon vesting, represents the right to receive one ordinary share of the Company.
During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company did not grant any restricted stock units under the 2013 Plans, as amended.

The Company primarily operates in the U.S. and Israel, and the Company's Israeli operations are subject to a statutory income tax rate of 24% in 2017 and 23% in 2018 which is lower than the Company's U.S. federal income tax rate of 34% as of March 31, 2017.
For the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of ($11.4) million, which is lower than the expected tax benefit of ($11.7) million, using the statutory rate of 34%, due, in part, to revaluations of the Israel net operating loss carryforwards of ($0.8) million. Additionally, the effective tax rate was impacted by increases to uncertain tax positions of $1.3 million and other items of $0.2 million. The discrete items noted above were partially offset by the lower jurisdictional tax rate charged on the operating income of the Company's Israeli operations.
NOTE 14 – NET (LOSS) INCOME ATTRIBUTABLE TO COMMON SHAREHOLDERS PER SHARE
Net (loss) income
attributable to common shareholders
per share – basic, is calculated by dividing net (loss) income attributable to the Company's common shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during each period. Net (loss) income
attributable to common shareholders
per share – diluted, is computed using net income per share attributable to the Company's common shareholders, and dividing it by the weighted average number of ordinary and potentially dilutive ordinary share equivalents outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive ordinary share equivalents consist of shares issuable upon the exercise or settlement of options to purchase ordinary shares.
Potentially dilutive securities, using the treasury stock method are set forth in the following table, which presents the computation of basic and diluted net (loss) income per ordinary share attributable to shareholders (in thousands, except for per share information):

Due to the net loss, basic and diluted loss per ordinary share attributable to common shareholders was the same for the three months ended March 31, 2017, as the effect of potentially dilutive securities would have been antidilutive. 2,550,687 outstanding ordinary share options and 349,924 restricted stock units were not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share.
NOTE 15 – BROADSMART ACQUISITION
In March 2016, the Company acquired the assets of North American Telecommunications Corporation d/b/a Broadsmart in exchange for approximately (i) $38.0 million in cash, (ii) 233,402 shares of the Company's ordinary shares issued from treasury stock with a fair value of $1.7 million based on closing market price per share as of the date of the acquisition, and additional contingent payments of (iii) up to $0.2 million in cash in the event that certain two individuals employed by the Seller do not accept the Company's employment offer ($0.1 million for each), and (iv) $2.0 million in cash if the acquired assets generated 2016 revenues equal to or exceeding $15.6 million (the "Earnout Payment").
Additionally, $3.0 million of the cash consideration was paid into escrow at the time of closing to cover indemnification claims by the Company against the Seller Parties with a minimum aggregate amount of $0.4 million up to a cap of $3.0 million and excluding any individual loss that is less than or equal to $7,500. No asset or liability is included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets for this item.
The $0.2 million contingent payment was included in consideration and recorded as accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The $2.0 million Earnout Payment was paid into escrow at the time of closing. With the help of a third party valuation firm, the value of this contingent consideration was determined to be $1.7 million which was included in total consideration of the business acquired. In the third quarter ended September 30, 2016 management concluded that it was remote that 2016 revenues of the acquired assets would equal or exceed $15.6 million, and accordingly recorded a $2.0 million receivable from earnout escrow on the consolidated balance sheet. A $1.7 million reduction of operating expense from the change in contingent consideration was included on the consolidated statement of operations, labeled gain on mark-to-market, under the Core Consumer segment for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2016 did not reach the target and the Company has requested return of the funds.
The Company incurred $0.8 million in acquisition related transaction costs, which were included in general and administrative expense on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the Core Consumer segment for the three months ended March 31, 2016.
The assets and liabilities were recorded at their estimated fair values on the balance sheet for the Enterprise segment on March 17, 2016. The results of operations of the Broadsmart business have been included in the Company's consolidated financial statements, under the Enterprise segment, since that date.
During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $0.5 million on an identifiable intangible asset. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company recognized impairment charges of $31.5 million on intangible assets, including goodwill. The carrying value of the Broadsmart business after the impairment was $18.5 million at March 31, 2017. Refer to Note 3, "Impairment of Intangible Assets, Including Goodwill", Note 6, "Intangible Assets" and Note 7, "Goodwill" for further details.
Pro Forma Financial Information
The following table presents the unaudited pro forma combined results of operations of the Company and Broadsmart for the three months ended March 31, 2016, as if the acquisition of Broadsmart had occurred on January 1, 2016. The pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of 2016.

NOTE 16 – SEGMENT REPORTING
Reportable segments are defined under U.S. GAAP as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly by a company's chief operating decision makers in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.
Historically, the Company has not had separate reportable segments. However, with the acquisition of Broadsmart and the founding of the SMB business during 2016, management evaluated each of these new business lines separately and determined that the Company now has three reportable segments – "Core Consumer," "Enterprise" and "SMB". These segments are organized by the products and services that are sold and the customers that are served. The below table includes an "Other" segment to capture the Company's interest in a joint venture that does not meet either the aggregation criteria to be combined with the existing Core Consumer segment or the quantitative thresholds to be treated as a reportable segment. The Company measures and evaluates its reportable segments based on revenues and gross profit margins. The Company's segments and their principal activities consist of the following:
Core Consumer
This segment represents a vertically integrated group of companies, a micro-processor chip design company, an Appserver and session border controller company, a wholesale provider of VoIP services, a softphone company, the developer and provider of the magicJack device, and a wholesaler of telephone service to VoIP providers and telecommunication carriers. This segment represents the historical magicJack consumer business.
magicJack is a cloud communications leader that is the inventor of the magicJack devices and other magicJack products and services. magicJack's products and services allow users to make and/or receive free telephone calls to and from anywhere in the world where the customer has broadband access to the Internet, and allow customers to make free calls back to the United States and Canada from anywhere legally permitted in the world.
Enterprise
This segment includes Broadsmart which is a provider of UCaaS hardware and connectivity for enterprise customers.
SMB
Through this segment, started during the first quarter of 2016, the Company provides VoIP services to small to medium sized businesses. The Company began sales of its SMB segment in the third quarter of 2016. During the first quarter of 2017, management restructured this segment to consolidate all operations and functions within the Core Consumer segment. The expenses of this restructuring included severance for the majority of the employees in the segment and future rent payments for the Alpharetta, GA office.
Other
This segment includes the Company's 60% controlling interest in a joint venture which began selling a line of high-technology residential consumer products in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016. On March 31, 2017, this interest was reduced to 36% and the Company executed an agreement to sell its remaining interest to the unrelated third party with closing to occur within 60 days. The Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2017, include an adjustment to comprehensive income attributable to common shareholders of $67 thousand, to recognize the impact of the noncontrolling interest. The Company has determined that the joint venture does not meet either the aggregation criteria to be combined with the existing Core Consumer segment or the quantitative thresholds to be treated as a reportable segment. As such, it is included in the "Other" segment.
Selected information for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 is presented by reportable segment below (in thousands):
