Our software has been deployed worldwide in supermarket and grocery stores, convenience stores, fuel retailers and quick service restaurants. The<br />

Grocery<br />

Recent Significant Acquisitions<br />

Convenience Stores<br />

and Fuel Retailers<br />

In March 2006, we acquired additional 45% of StoreNext USA and increased our holdings in this entity to 95%. In February 2006, we acquired<br />

substantially all of the assets of Base Products, Inc., d/b/a C&L Retail Solutions, which provides a suite of hardware and software products and services for<br />

the food and consumer goods retailers. We believe that these acquisitions will strengthen our position, customer base, flexibility and exposure in the sector<br />

of smaller and independent retailers in the United States.<br />

On April 1, 2005, we acquired approximately 73.4% of the issued and outstanding shares (on an as-converted-to-common-stock basis) of TCI<br />

Solutions, a provider of retail store and headquarters solutions, including pricing, promotions, inventory, management and DSD solutions for the grocery<br />

industry, for approximately $14.5 million in cash and 715,730 of our ordinary shares. The solutions of TCI Solutions enable grocers to automate complex<br />

pricing strategies, streamline inventory management processes, and execute consistently across the retail enterprise, from headquarters to the store. TCI<br />

Solutions’ flagship offering, TCI Retail, consists of headquarters and in-store applications that provide supermarket operators with the control, automation<br />

and execution capabilities necessary to increase revenue, lower costs and improve margins in today’s complex retail environment. The solutions of TCI<br />

Solutions enable grocers to accelerate and improve decision-making through enterprise-wide merchandising and store operations solutions. As part of the<br />

acquisition, we retained 111 of TCI Solutions’ employees. We believe that the acquisition of TCI Solutions will enable us to strengthen our position as a<br />

provider of headquarters and in-store systems for retailers, improve the quality of our offerings, broaden our customer base and expand our suite of<br />

products.<br />

Also in April 2005, we executed an agreement and plan of merger with TCI Solutions, pursuant to which TCI Solutions merged with and into one of<br />

our subsidiaries in November 2005, and all outstanding common stock and preferred stock of TCI Solutions (other than shares held by us) were exchanged<br />

for an aggregate of approximately $2.6 million in cash.<br />

On April 1, 2005, we also acquired substantially all of the assets of IDS, a provider of ERP and distribution solutions for the food service,<br />

convenience store and grocery industries, for approximately $37.4 million in cash and 290,128 of our ordinary shares. In addition, 207,236 of our ordinary<br />

shares will be eligible for release from escrow only if certain future customer retention milestones are met as of April 1, 2007. IDS’s solutions enable<br />

distributors in the grocery, convenience store and food service markets to achieve increased productivity, improved customer service and operational cost<br />

savings. As part of the acquisition, we retained 133 of IDS’s employees. We believe the acquisition of IDS will enable us to strengthen our position as a<br />

provider of supply chain execution and warehouse management systems, improve the quality of our offerings and in particular those which collaborate<br />

between retail and supply organizations, broaden our customer base and expand our suite of products.<br />
