BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [Abstract]

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments except as otherwise discussed).

For further information, reference is made to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2013.

Operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2014.

Fair value of financial instruments

Fair value of financial instruments:

The carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, available-for-sale marketable securities, short-term deposits, trade payable and other accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value because of their generally short term maturities.

The Company accounts for certain assets and liabilities at fair value under ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures". Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC 820 establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;

Level 2 - Includes other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions, or other inputs that are observable (model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable), or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data; and

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The Company categorized each of its fair value measurements in one of these three levels of hierarchy.

Based on the fair value hierarchy, the Company classifies its marketable securities within Level 1 or Level 2. This is because the Company values its marketable securities using quoted market prices or alternative pricing sources and models utilizing market observable inputs. The Company classifies its foreign currency derivative instruments primarily within Level 2 as the valuation inputs are based on quoted prices and market observable data of similar instruments.

Derivative financial instruments

The Company's derivatives are not designated as hedging accounting instruments under ASC 815, "Derivatives and Hedging". Those derivatives consist primarily of forward and options contracts the Company uses to hedge the Company's exposures to currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The Company recognized derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities and measures those instruments at fair value. Since the derivative instruments that the Company holds do not meet the definition of hedging instruments under ASC 815, the Company recognizes changes in the fair values in its statement of income in financial income, net, in the same period as the re-measurement gain and loss of the related foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities.

The fair value of the forward and options contracts as of September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013 were recorded as an asset of $86 and $93, respectively.
