Research and development expenses in 2021 increased by 16.5% to US$ 20,091 thousand compared to US$ 17,244 thousand in
2020. This increase was mainly attributed to an increase in our research and development employees' and subcontractors' related costs, required for our continued investment in new product development, enhancements to existing products
and the development of new networking and connectivity technologies expanding our product offering to our target markets, which contributed approximately US$ 4,540 thousand to such increase, combined with the following factors: (i)
capitalization of internal software development costs in the amount of US$ 3,562 thousand in 2021, compared to US$ 822 thousand in 2020, (ii) an increase in the share-based compensation which amounted to approximately US$ 1,011
thousand in 2021, compared to US$ 959 thousand in 2020, as well as to (iii) a weakening of the US Dollar against the New Israeli Shekel and the Danish Krone (since a significant portion of our research and development expenses are
incurred in New Israeli Shekels and Danish Krone), which amounted to approximately US$ 995 thousand.
Research and development expenses in 2020 increased by 14.4% to US$ 17,244 thousand compared to US$ 15,075 thousand in 2019. This increase was mainly attributed to an increase in our
research and development employees’ related costs, required for our continued investment in new product development, enhancements to existing products and the development of new networking and connectivity technologies expanding our product
offering to our target markets, which contributed approximately US$ 1,479 thousand to such increase, combined with the following factors: (i) capitalization of internal software development costs in the amount of US$ 822 thousand in 2020,
compared to US$ 1,018 thousand in 2019, (ii) an increase in the share-based compensation which amounted to approximately US$ 959 thousand in 2020, compared to US$ 900 thousand in 2019, as well as to (iii) a weakening of the US Dollar
against the New Israeli Shekel and the Danish Krone (since a significant portion of our research and development expenses are incurred in New Israeli Shekels and Danish Krone), which amounted to approximately US$ 435 thousand.

Sales and marketing expenses in 2021 increased by 6.3% to US$ 6,599 thousand compared to US$ 6,209 thousand in 2020. This
increase was mainly attributed to our continued investment in the promotion of our networking and data infrastructure solutions, expanding our customer base and product offering, which contributed approximately US$ 110 thousand, as well
as to an increase in the share-based compensation which amounted to approximately US$ 697 thousand in 2021, compared to US$ 602 thousand in 2020, as well as to a weakening of the US Dollar against the New Israeli Shekel and the Danish
Krone (since a significant portion of our sales and marketing expenses are incurred in New Israeli Shekels and Danish Krone) which amounted to approximately US$ 185 thousand.
Sales and marketing expenses in 2020 decreased by 6.6% to US$ 6,209 thousand compared to US$ 6,647 thousand in 2019. This decrease was mainly attributed to a decrease in the travel expenses
in 2020 compared to 2019 as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, which contributed approximately US$ 642 thousand, offset by an increase in the share-based compensation which amounted to approximately US$ 602 thousand in 2020, compared to US$
493 thousand in 2019, and by a weakening of the US Dollar against the New Israeli Shekel and the Danish Krone (since a significant portion of our sales and marketing expenses are incurred in New Israeli Shekels and Danish Krone) which
amounted to approximately US$ 95 thousand.

|
General and administrative expenses in 2021 increased by 14.2% to US$ 4,641 thousand compared to US$ 4,065
thousand in 2020. This increase was mainly attributed to (i) an increase in payroll related expenses attributed to general and administrative activity which amounted to approximately US$ 313 thousand, (ii) to an increase in the
share-based compensation, which amounted to approximately US$ 674 thousand in 2021, compared to US$ 615 thousand in 2020, as well as to (iii) a weakening of the US Dollar against the New Israeli Shekel and the Danish Krone (since a
significant portion of our general and administrative expenses are incurred in New Israeli Shekels and Danish Krone) which amounted to approximately US$ 204 thousand.

Financial expenses, net in 2021 amounted to US$ 152 thousand compared to US$ 1,034 thousand in 2020. The change is
mainly attributed to the following factors: (i) a decrease in income from investment in marketable securities and bank deposits, which was attributed to a decrease in funds available for investment, which amounted to US$ 927 thousand in
2021 compared to US$ 1,953 thousand in 2020, and (ii) a weakening of the US Dollar against the New Israeli Shekel and the Danish Krone, which created net financial expenses in US Dollars from exchange rate differences (a portion of our
balance sheet assets and obligations are denominated in New Israeli Shekels as well as in Danish Krone) of US$ 1,032 thousand in 2021 compared to net financial expenses of US$ 748 thousand in 2020.

compared to current income tax expenses of US$ 1,766 thousand and deferred income tax benefit of US$ 61 thousand in 2020. The increase in our current income tax expenses was mainly attributed to an increase in our income and the
resulting taxable income. The change in the deferred income tax expenses was mainly attributed to the following factors: (i) a deferred income tax benefit relating to research and development costs, which amounted to US$ 141 thousand in
2021, compared to a deferred income tax benefit in the amount of US$ 262 thousand in 2020, (ii) deferred income tax expenses relating to intangible assets, which amounted to US$ 25 thousand in 2021, compared to a deferred income tax

compared to deferred income tax benefit in the amount of US$ 755 thousand in 2019, and (ii) deferred income tax expenses in relation to acquired goodwill, which amounted to US$ 210 thousand in 2020 compared to US$ 72 thousand in 2019. In
