Cyren listed its shares to the public on July 15, 1999 under the name Commtouch Software Ltd. and changed its legal name to Cyren Ltd. in January 2014. Cyren and its subsidiaries, unless otherwise indicated will be referred to in these consolidated financial statements as the “Company”.

The Company is engaged in developing and marketing cyber security solutions to identify and protect customers from threats in email, files, and ~~from~~ the web. The Company sells its cloud-based solutions worldwide, in ~~both embedded~~a Software-as-a-Service model, to enterprises as well to OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) which include leading email providers, other cybersecurity vendors and ~~Software-as-a-Service models, to Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”), service~~managed services providers ~~and enterprises.~~(MSPs).

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the condensed consolidated statements of operations, the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, and the condensed statement of changes in shareholders’ equity for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and 2020, as well as the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and 2020, are unaudited. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding interim financial reporting. In management’s opinion, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, as well as its results of operations for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and 2020. The results of operations for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ~~ending~~ended December 31, 2021 or for other interim periods or for future years.

Over the past several years, the Company has ~~devoted substantially most of its effort to research and~~made significant investment in product development, ~~and increasing revenues through additional investments in~~as well as sales & marketing. The Company has incurred losses since inception and expects to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future. At ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents position is not sufficient to fund the Company’s planned operations for at least one year beyond the date of the filing date of the condensed consolidated financial statements. Those factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company obtaining the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they become due.

The Company intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months through a combination of actions that may include existing cash on hand, reducing operating spend, potentially divesting non-core assets, amending certain existing debt securities and issuing equity and/or debt securities. On February 11, 2021, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements with several institutional investors for the purchase and sale, in a registered direct offering, of 12,000,000 of the Company’s ordinary shares at a purchase price of $1.15 per share for net proceeds of $12,588. On September 15, 2021, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements with several institutional investors to raise approximately $10,190 through the issuance of 14,152,779 of the Company’s ordinary shares and warrants to purchase up to 14,152,779 ordinary shares, at a purchase price of $0.72 per share and associated warrant, in a private placement priced "at-the-market" under Nasdaq Rules for net proceeds of $9,276.

The current cash balance and historical trend of cash used in operations along with the maturity of the convertible notes in December 2021, ~~which we are currently trying to restructure,~~ and lack of certainty regarding a future capital raise and our ability to renegotiate the terms of the convertible notes, raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements. We ~~do not~~ anticipate that we will have sufficient funds to pay the principal of the convertible notes on their maturity date. While the Company has successful raised funds in the past, there is no guarantee that it will be able to do so in the future. The inability to ~~restructure~~borrow or ~~borrow~~raise sufficient funds ~~to refinance the convertible notes~~ on commercially reasonable terms, ~~or at all,~~ would have serious consequences toon our financial condition and results of operations.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

The condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from uncertainty related to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

Significant accounting policies

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 30, 2021.

Other than the change described below, there have been no changes to the significant accounting policies described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 that have had a material impact on the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes.

Use of estimates:

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions. The Company’s management believes that the estimates, judgments, and assumptions used are reasonable based upon information available at the time they are made. These estimates, judgments, and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, the Company’s management evaluates estimates, including those related to fair value and useful lives of intangible assets, fair value of earn-out liabilities, valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, income tax uncertainties, fair values of stock-based awards, other contingent liabilities and estimates used in applying the revenue recognition policy. Such estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.

Going Concern

U.S. GAAP requires an evaluation of whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. Initially, this evaluation does not consider the potential mitigating effect of management’s plans that have not been fully implemented. When substantial doubt exists, management evaluates the mitigating effect of its plans if it is probable that (1) the plans will be effectively implemented within one year after the date the financial statements are issued, and (2) when implemented, the plans will mitigate the relevant conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued or prior to the conditions or events that create the going concern risk.

The condensed consolidated financial statements as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021 do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from uncertainty related to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

Basic and diluted net loss per share:

Basic net loss per share has been computed using the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed based on the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during each period, plus the weighted average number of dilutive potential ordinary shares considered outstanding during the period.

Basic and diluted net loss per share was the same for each period presented as the inclusion of all potential shares of common stock outstanding would have been anti-dilutive. In periods where the Company reports a net loss, the effect of anti-dilutive stock options, restricted stock units, ~~Convertible Notes,~~convertible notes, Convertible Debentures, and warrants are excluded and diluted net loss per share is equal to basic net loss per share. For the ~~six mounts~~three months period ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and ~~June~~September 30, 2020, ~~15,220,592~~26,877,551 and ~~50,534,349~~24,093,385 ordinary shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted net EPS due to their anti-dilutive effect, respectively. For the ~~three mounts~~nine months period ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and ~~June~~September 30, 2020, ~~6,709,688~~42,098,143 and ~~24,930,609~~74,627,734 ordinary shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted net EPS due to their anti-dilutive effect, respectively.

Recently issued and adopted pronouncements:

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” under ASC 740, which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within that fiscal year. The Company adopted this new guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

New accounting pronouncements not yet adopted:

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, ASC Subtopic 470-20 “Debt—Debt with “Conversion and Other Options” and ASC subtopic 815-40 “Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity”. The standard reduced the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. Convertible instruments that continue to be subject to separation models are (1) those with embedded conversion features that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract, that meet the definition of a derivative, and that do not qualify for a scope exception from derivative accounting and (2) convertible debt instruments issued with substantial premiums for which the premiums are recorded as paid-in capital. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3:-

LEASES

The Company adopted ASC 842, Leases, the new standard as of January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach. The modified retrospective approach provides a method for recording existing leases at adoption and in comparative periods that approximates the results of a full retrospective approach. The Company has elected to utilize the available package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard which does not require it to reassess the prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs.

In addition, the Company has elected the short-term lease exception for leases with a term of 12 months or less. As part of this election, it will not recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet with terms less than 12 months. The Company also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for all our leases. This will result in the initial and subsequent measurement of the balances of the right-of-use asset and lease liability being greater than if the policy election was not applied.

Some leases include one or more options to extend the lease. The exercise of options to extend the lease is typically at the Company’s sole discretion; therefore, the majority of renewals to extend the lease terms are included in our right of use assets and lease liabilities as they are reasonably certain of exercise. The Company regularly evaluates the renewal options, and, when it is reasonably certain of exercise, it will include the renewal period in its lease term. Lease modifications result in the remeasurement of the lease liability.

The right-of-use asset and lease liability are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the date of adoption in determining the present value of the lease payments.

Some of the real estate leases contain variable lease payments, including payments based on an index or rate. Variable lease payments based on an index or rate are initially measured using the index or rate in effect at lease adoption. Additional payments based on the change in an index or rate are recorded as a period expense when incurred.

The Company has various operating leases for office space and vehicles that expire through 2030. Below is a summary of our operating right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021:

Operating lease right-of-use assets	$	9,852	$	9,431

Operating lease liabilities, current	$	1,782	$	1,638
Operating lease liabilities long-term		8,894		8,574

Total operating lease liabilities	$	10,676	$	10,212

~~The short-term lease liabilities are included within accrued expenses and other short-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.~~

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Cyren Ltd., which was incorporated in Israel, partially financed its research and development expenditures under programs sponsored by the Israel Innovation Authority (“IIA”) for the support of certain research and development activities conducted in Israel.

In connection with specific research and development, the Company received $3,699 of participation payments from the IIA through 2018 and none since 2018. In return for the IIA’s participation in this program, the Company is committed to paying royalties at a rate of 3% of the program’s developed product sales, up to 100% of the amount of grants received plus interest at annual LIBOR rate. The Company’s total commitment for royalties payable with respect to future sales, based on IIA participations received, net of royalties paid or accrued, totaled ~~$2,632~~$2,610 and ~~$2,714~~$2,713 as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. For the three months ended, ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and 2020, ~~$37~~$31 and ~~$69,~~$64, respectively, were recorded as cost of revenues with respect to royalties due to the IIA. For the ~~six~~nine months ended, ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and 2020, ~~$59~~$90 and ~~$110,~~$173, respectively, were recorded as cost of revenues with respect to royalties due to the IIA.

Litigation:

On June 28, 2017 a vendor filed a Statement of Claim in the Tel Aviv District Court (the “SOC”). According to the vendor’s SOC, the Company entered into an agreement with the vendor for receipt of services, based on a database developed by the vendor. In September 2015, the Company terminated the agreement with the vendor, effective as of December 31, 2015. The vendor claimed that the Company had continued to make use of the vendor’s database post termination thus breaching the agreement, infringing on the vendor’s rights and commercial secrets, and being unjustly enriched.

The vendor claimed damages of approximately $3,150 and injunctive relief ordering the Company and/or its customers to delete any remaining data and to cease from utilizing such data.

The Company denied all claims and filed a Statement of Defense on November 15, 2017. Pretrial was scheduled for May 15, 2018. In accordance with the court’s recommendation from November 28, 2017, the parties agreed to examine a non-binding mediation process and appointed a mediator. The parties agreed to conduct a third-party audit of the Company’s databases in the scope of the mediation.

In September 2018 and January 2019, the same vendor filed a lawsuit against two of the Company’s customers in the United States. The vendor alleged that the clients misappropriated the vendor’s trade secrets and sought injunctive relief and monetary damages in an amount to be determined. Both customers contended that the allegations related to the services they receive from the Company, and the Company agreed to indemnify both clients against these claims. On September 30, 2019, the court dismissed one of the lawsuits in its entirety for lack of personal jurisdiction and, in the second lawsuit, dismissed part of the claims with prejudice but granted the vendor the right to amend its other claims. On October 31, 2019, the vendor filed an amended complaint. In December 2019, the Company reached a settlement with the vendor and the Company agreed to pay $750; $375 in December 2019 and the remaining portion in January 2020. As of March 31, 2021, the Company has paid all amounts due under this settlement.

ShareHOLDERS’ EQUITY

General:

Ordinary shares confer upon their holders the right to receive notice to participate and vote in general shareholder meetings of the Company and to receive dividends if declared. On July 8, 2021, the shareholders of the Company approved an increase in the number of authorized ordinary shares from 110,000,000 ~~Ordinary Shares~~ordinary shares of nominal value NIS 0.15 per share to 160,000,000 ~~Ordinary Shares~~ordinary shares of nominal value NIS 0.15 per share.

Issuance of convertible notes:

On December 5, 2018 the Company issued $10,000 aggregate principal amount of convertible notes in a private offering. The notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of Cyren and carry a 5.75% interest rate, payable semi-annually in (i) 50% cash and (ii) 50% cash or ordinary shares at Cyren’s election. The notes have a 3-year term and mature in December 2021, unless converted in accordance with their terms prior to maturity. The notes were issued with a conversion price of $3.90 per share which was subject to adjustment using a weighted-average ratchet mechanism based on the size and price of future equity offerings and the total shares outstanding. On November 7, 2019, Cyren announced the closing of a rights offering that raised gross proceeds of $8,019. As a result of this offering, the conversion price of the convertible notes was adjusted to $3.73. On February 16, 2021, Cyren announced securities purchase agreements with several institutional investors for the purchase and sale, in a registered direct offering, of 12,000,000 of the Company’s ordinary shares at a purchase price of $1.15 per share for net proceeds of $12,588. As a result of this offering, the conversion price of the convertible notes was adjusted to $3.38. On September 17, 2021, we issued to several institutional investors in a private placement 14,152,799 of our ordinary shares at a purchase price of $0.72 per share and warrants to purchase up to 14,152,779 ordinary shares at an exercise price of $0.60 per share. As a result of this offering, the conversion price of the convertible notes was adjusted to $3.02. In addition, the notes would be subject to immediate conversion upon any change in control in the Company (or subject to repayment if the price in the change in control transaction is less than the conversion price).

The Company incurred interest expense for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 of ~~$143~~$145 and ~~$285,~~$430, respectively. The Company incurred interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 of $153 and $436, respectively. In June 2021, the Company paid semi-annual interest payments totaling, $287, of which $143 was paid in cash and the remaining portion through the issuance of 233,400 shares. The Company has accrued interest of ~~$31~~$176 as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021.

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the principal balance of the convertible notes is $10,000.

As the convertible notes ~~are expected to~~ mature in December 2021, the Company is currently negotiating ~~the restructuring of~~to restructure the convertible notes with the noteholders and at this time is uncertain as to the outcome. If the restructuring discussions are not successful, the Company intends to use its available cash resources to repay the principal upon maturity per the terms of the convertible notes.

Issuance of Convertible Debentures :

In March 2020, the Company entered into purchase agreements with a select group of accredited investors for the purchase of ~~$10.25 million~~$10,250 aggregate principal amount of Convertible Debentures in a private placement. Upon the closing, the Company received approximately ~~$9.4 million~~$9,400 (net of ~~$0.8 million~~$800 in issuance expenses).

The debentures are unsecured, subordinated obligations of Cyren and carry a 5.75% interest rate per annum, payable semi-annually in cash or ordinary shares at Cyren’s election.

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the total estimated fair value of the Convertible Debentures was approximately ~~$7.3 million.~~$5,600. The fair value was determined based on the closing trading price of ~~$0.81~~$0.62 per share multiplied by the Convertible Debentures principal balance as of the last day of trading for the period The fair value of the Convertible Debentures is considered a Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy and was determined based on inputs that are observable in the market or that could be derived from, or corroborated with, observable market data, quoted price of the Convertible Debentures in an over-the-counter market.

Options and RSUs cease vesting upon the termination of the optionee’s employment or other relationship with the Company. The per share exercise price for options shall be no less than 100% of the fair market value per ordinary share on the date of grant. Any options and RSUs that are cancelled or not exercised within the option term become available for future grant.

On July 30, 2019, the shareholders of the Company approved an increase in the number of ~~Ordinary Shares~~ordinary shares reserved for issuance under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan and its respective Israeli Appendix to a total of 11,200,000.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the information contained in our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto. The following discussion and analysis includes forward-looking statements that involve certain risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those described in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “2020 Annual Report”). and Item 1A. Risk Factors in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Our actual results may differ materially from those discussed below. See “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” below.

Overview

Purpose built for the cloud, Cyren was an early pioneer and leading innovator of cloud delivered Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) cybersecurity solutions that protect businesses, their employees and customers against threats from email, files, and the web.

~~Cyren’s~~We believe our cloud-based approach to security sets us apart from other vendors in the market. Our security solutions are architected around the fundamental belief that cyber security is a race against time – and the cloud best enables the speed, sophistication, and advanced automation needed to detect and block threats as they emerge on the internet. As more and more businesses move their data and applications to the cloud, they need a security provider that is able to keep pace.

Security threats are more prevalent and stealthier than ever. As cybercrime has become more sophisticated, every malware, phishing, and ransomware variant is unique, making it more difficult to detect attacks. While organizations have traditionally protected their users with gateway security appliances at their network perimeter, more frequent and evasive attacks combined with a more distributed workforce are reducing the effectiveness of this approach. Traditional appliances lack the real-time threat intelligence and processing power to detect emerging threats, and the growth of mobile devices and an increasingly distributed workforce means that more and more business is conducted outside of the traditional network perimeter. As a result, when new attacks appear in a matter of seconds, legacy cybersecurity products can leave companies vulnerable for hours, days, or even weeks.

Cyren’s cloud security products and services fall into three categories:

●

Cyren Threat Detection Services – these services detect a variety of threats in email, files, and from the web, and are embedded into products from the world’s leading ~~technology~~email providers, cyber security vendors and ~~security vendors.~~managed service providers. Cyren Threat Detection Services include our Email Security Detection Engine, Malware Detection Engine, Web Security Engine, and Threat Analysis Service.

●

Cyren Threat Intelligence Data – Cyren’s Threat Intelligence ~~Data~~Products provide valuable threat intelligence data that can be used by enterprise or OEM customers to support threat detection, threat hunting, and incident response. Cyren’s Threat Intelligence ~~Data~~ offerings include IP Reputation Intelligence, Phishing Intelligence, Malware Intelligence, and Zombie Intelligence.

●

Cyren Enterprise Email Security Products – these include cloud-based solutions designed for enterprise customers and are sold either directly or through channel partners. Cyren Enterprise Email Security products include Cyren Email Security, a cloud-based secure email gateway, and Cyren Inbox Security, an anti-phishing product for Microsoft 365.

Key Opportunities and Challenges

Threat Landscape

The last several years have possibly experienced the greatest amount of dramatic global incidents directly related to malware and cyber threats since the advent of the internet. From election hacks to global ransomware attacks, malware threats are at an all-time high. Phishing attacks have become increasingly common, and no company, large or small seems immune to these threats. Hackers have become more successful at monetizing these attacks, and as long as these activities prove lucrative, we expect these incidents to continue.

Cloud and Mobility

Businesses are going through a massive change in their IT strategies as they look to drive more business value, agility, and better customer experiences, while cloud and mobility are becoming increasingly important, as evidenced by the following trends:

●

Business internet traffic continues to increase every year;

●

Data and applications are increasingly moving to the cloud;

●

More and more users are working remotely, particularly since the COVID-19 pandemic;

●

Buyers continue to move away from traditional on-premise solutions;

●

Mature and legacy on-premise deployments are reaching the end of life and are increasingly being replaced by cloud and SaaS alternatives;

●

IT security staffing shortages;

●

Increasingly fast, sophisticated, expensive, and high-profile attacks target organizations of all sizes;

●

Compliance and regulatory mandates;

●

Heightened cybercrime activity among commercial enterprises and nation-states;

●

Automation is increasingly considered critical to accelerating detection and protection; and

●

The need to simplify operations through vendor consolidation.

These are some of the reasons why we believe Cyren’s vision for 100% cloud security is compelling to IT security teams looking to protect their businesses in today’s cloud-centric mobile-first world.

Growing Our Enterprise Business

Cyren has prioritized growing its enterprise revenues. With the mid-2020 release of our anti-phishing solution, Cyren Inbox Security (CIS), we believe helping enterprises mitigate phishing attacks is our most significant revenue growth opportunity. Given the substantial size of the enterprise anti-phishing market, Cyren believes this new revenue stream has the potential to grow faster than our legacy OEM business. As this CIS business grows, it will gradually contribute to a larger portion of our overall revenue, and as a result, we expect deferred revenue to increase and our operating results and cash flow to improve.

Investments in Operations, Research and Development and Sales and Marketing

Our cost of revenues, research and development expenses, and sales and marketing expenses are all significant contributing factors to our operating losses. Over time, we expect we will increase ~~our~~ utilization of our cloud infrastructure which we expect will provide the opportunity for improved gross margins. Our investments in research and development are required in order to enhance and improve our solutions. In the future, we expect to lower the rate of R&D investment as a percentage of revenue. The return on our sales and marketing investment is tied to attracting new customers and enhancing our business with existing customers, thereby lowering the overall sales and marketing costs as a percent of revenues. During 2020 we reduced our overall headcount in order to reduce expenses, and we believe managing future headcount and expense growth will be key in improving our gross and operating margins over time. In the ~~second~~third quarter of 2021, headcount ~~continued to decline due to voluntary attrition, which is~~remained consistent with the ~~first~~second quarter of 2021. ~~This~~Headcount on a year-over-year basis is down by about 10% which has led to a decline in operating expenses on a year-to-date basis compared to the corresponding period a year ago. We continue to monitor expenses and where possible, ~~reduces~~reduce expenses. We believe managing future headcount and expense growth will be key in improving our gross and operating margins over time given the recent decline in revenue.

~~Growing Our Enterprise Business~~

Although all of our services are subscription services, our Enterprise offerings are typically invoiced up front for an annual contract amount, or the full multi-year contract amount, at the start of the term. As a result, this business is expected to provide a larger contribution to cash flow and better return on investment. As this enterprise business grows as a portion of our overall revenues, we expect to increase deferred revenue and our operating results and cash flow to improve, which may make us less reliant on other sources of capital in the future.

Components of our Operating Results

Revenue

We derive revenues from the sale of real-time cloud-based services for each of Cyren’s email security, web security, antimalware, and advanced threat protection offerings.

We sell all of our solutions as subscription services, either to OEMs and service providers or directly or indirectly to enterprises.

Cost of Revenue

Personnel costs, which consist of salaries, benefits, bonuses, and stock-based compensation for employees that operate our ~~network~~cloud infrastructure and provide support services to our customers, as well as data center costs, are the most significant components of our cost of revenues. Other costs include third-party contractors, royalties for use of third-party technologies, amortization of intangibles, and depreciation of data center equipment. We expect these costs may increase in absolute dollars as we continue to optimize our cloud infrastructure and our support services, but should reduce as a percentage of overall revenue.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses consist of research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses. Personnel costs, which consist of salaries, benefits, bonuses, and stock-based compensation, are the most significant component of our operating expenses. Operating expenses also include allocated overhead costs for facilities, IT, and depreciation. We expect operating expenses to increase in absolute dollars as we continue to grow.

Research and Development. Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel costs and outsourced engineering services. We believe these investments are crucial for our ability to continue to enhance the functionality of our services, as well as to develop and introduce new services to the market. ~~We expect research and development expenses will increase as we enhance products newly released in 2020.~~ Development costs related to internal use technology that supports our security services are capitalized on the balance sheet, while other development costs are expensed as they are incurred.

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses primarily include personnel costs, sales commissions, marketing activities, and travel associated with sales and marketing. We market and sell our services worldwide through our sales organization and distribution channels. We capitalize sales commissions paid to internal sales personnel and amortize these expenses over an estimated period of benefit that reflects the expected future revenue streams. We reduced sales and marketing expenses in 2020 but anticipate that we may need to increase investment in these areas related to products newly launched in 2020 and enhance our sales and marketing efforts to support further growth. Sales personnel are typically not immediately productive, and therefore the increase in expenses we incur when adding personnel is not immediately accompanied by increased revenue and in some cases may not result in increased revenue if these new sales personnel are unsuccessful in becoming productive.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, audit fees, legal expenses, recruiting expenses, and other general operating costs. We expect our general and administrative expenses to grow in absolute dollars as we continue our operational growth.

Other Income (Expense), net

Other income (expense), net consists generally of capital gain or loss from the sale of assets.

Financial Expenses, net

Financial expenses, net consist mainly of foreign exchange gains and losses, interest expense on our outstanding debt, and interest income earned on our cash and cash equivalents. In 2020 and 2021, these expenses also included income related to the accounting for a multi-year arrangement where a customer paid upfront the full contract value. This has been deemed a significant financing component under ASC 606.

Tax Benefit

Our tax benefit is derived primarily from income taxes in foreign jurisdictions in which we conduct business. We estimate income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves determining income tax expense together with calculating the deferred income tax expense related to temporary differences resulting from the differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. These temporary differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included net as applicable within our balance sheets. For most of our recent years, we have incurred operating losses in Israel and the U.S., where we have recorded a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets in those jurisdictions.

Three and ~~Six Months~~Nine months Ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 Compared to the Three and ~~Six Months~~Nine months Ended ~~June~~September 30, 2020

Revenues. Revenues for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 decreased ~~$1.6~~$1.7 million, or ~~17%~~18%, and ~~$2.4~~$4.1 million or ~~13%~~15%, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods last year. The decrease was mainly driven by a contract reduction from our largest customer (as first disclosed in the Q3 2020 Form 10-Q), which was effective in Q2 2021 and is detailed in Note 6.b. The revenue impact of this ~~revenue~~ contract reduction was ~~$0.9~~$0.7 million and ~~$1.0~~$1.7 million for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, respectively. Customer renewals at lower values and churn, coupled with the end of life of several legacy Enterprise products during 2020 also contributed to the decline in revenue for the respective periods.

During the second quarter of 2020, the Company released two new products, Cyren Inbox Security and Threat InDepth. Since these product launches, the Company has signed numerous new customer contracts representing over ~~$1.4~~$2.5 million in revenue, but due to the timing and ratable nature of the contracts, there was not a material amount of revenue recognized in the ~~first half~~nine months of 2021.

Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 were consistent with the corresponding period last year. Cost of revenue for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 increased by $0.2 million or 3%1% as compared to the corresponding periods last year.

For the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, cost of revenues represented 50% of revenue, compared to ~~41%~~42% during the prior year, and accordingly, gross margins for the period were 50% for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 compared to ~~59%~~58% for the same period in the prior year.

For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 cost of revenues represented ~~46%~~48% of revenue, compared to ~~39%~~40% during the prior year, and accordingly, gross margins for the period were ~~54%~~52% for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 compared to ~~61%~~60% for the same period in the prior year. The increase on a year-to-date basis is driven by an increase in amortization of capitalized development expenses of $0.3 million as a result of the newest Enterprise products launched in Q2 2020, an increase in bonus and stock-based compensation expense of $0.2 ~~million.~~million and $0.1 million in the use of consultants. Offsetting the overall increase was a decrease in payroll and related costs of approximately $0.1 million due to a decline employee headcount of 32 employees as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021 compared to 3635 as of ~~June~~September 30, 2020. Additional decreases were related to $0.2 million in costs associated with our global network and data centers as well as depreciation associated with data center assets and $0.1 million associated with royalties due to the decline in revenue.

Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 decreased ~~$0.6~~$0.8 million, or 6%8%, and ~~$0.2~~$1.0 million or 1%3%, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods last year.

Operating expenses for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, represented ~~120%~~124% of revenue, compared to ~~106%~~110% for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2020. For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, operating expenses represented ~~111%~~115% of revenue, compared to ~~98%~~102% for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2020. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily due to a decrease in employee headcount, which totaled ~~169~~171 employees at the end of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, compared to ~~193~~191 employees at the end of ~~June~~September 30, 2020.

Research and Development, Net. Research and development expenses, net decreased $0.7 million, or 14% for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, ~~2021 were consistent with the corresponding period last year.~~2021. For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, research and development expenses, net increased by ~~$0.9~~$0.2 million or ~~12%~~2% as compared to the corresponding period last year. R&D expense, net for the three months ~~ending June~~ended September 30, 2021 represented ~~54%~~55% of revenue, compared to ~~45%~~52% a year ago. For the ~~six~~nine months ~~ending June~~ended September 30, 2021, R&D expense, net represented ~~51%~~52% of revenue compared to ~~40%~~44% a year ago. R&D headcount was ~~106~~111 employees as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021 compared to ~~119~~118 as of ~~June~~September 30, 2020.

Capitalization of technology development, which reduces expenses, decreased to zero for the three months ended September 30, 2021 from $0.2 million for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2021 from $1.6 million for the six months ended June~~September 30, 2020 primarily driven by the new product launch in the second quarter of 2020 which as a result, in subsequent quarters, the capitalization has ~~declined.~~declined, leading to higher R&D costs. This was offset by the one-time write-off of $0.7 million in Q3 2020 of a previously capitalized R&D project that did not reoccur in Q3 2021. The decrease in R&D expense, net is also driven by reduced employee headcount leading to lower payroll and related costs of ~~$0.3~~$0.2 million.

Capitalization of technology development, which reduces expenses, decreased to $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 primarily driven by the new product launch in the second quarter of 2020 which as a result, in subsequent quarters, the capitalization has declined, leading to higher R&D costs. This was offset by the one-time write-off of $0.7 million in Q3 2020 of a previously capitalized R&D project that did not reoccur in Q3 2021. The decrease in R&D expense, net is also driven by reduced employee headcount leading to lower payroll and related costs of $0.5 million and a decrease in the use of outside services and consultants of $0.2 million.

Net Operating Loss Carry-Forwards

As of December 31, 2020, Cyren Ltd.’s net operating loss carryforwards for tax purposes amounted to $102.0 million and capital loss carryforwards of $17.8 million which may be carried forward and offset against taxable income in the future, for an indefinite period.

As of December 31, 2020, the U.S. subsidiary had net operating loss carryforwards of $40.7 million for federal tax purposes and $10.6 million for state tax purposes. These losses may offset any future U.S. taxable income of the U.S. subsidiary and will expire in the years 2021 through 2040.

Management currently believes that based upon its estimations for future taxable income, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets regarding the loss carryforwards will not be utilized in the foreseeable future. Thus, a valuation allowance was provided to reduce deferred tax assets to their realizable value.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has incurred losses since inception and expects to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future and therefore, the Company intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months through a combination of existing cash on hand, reducing operating spend, potentially divesting non-core assets, and future issuances of equity and/or debt securities. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, we had an accumulated deficit of ~~$258.4~~$264.2 million, cash and cash equivalents of ~~$13.9~~$17.9 million, and generated a year-to-date net loss of ~~$9.8~~$15.6 million. We have incurred losses since inception and expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future. Current assets amounted to approximately ~~$17.9~~$24.3 million with current liabilities of approximately ~~$24.7~~$25.3 million, resulting in negative working capital (defined as current assets minus current liabilities) of approximately ~~$6.8~~$1.0 million. The current cash balance and historical trend of cash used in operations along with the maturity of the convertible notes in December 2021, lack of certainty regarding a future capital raise and our ability to renegotiate the term of the convertible notes, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the date of issuance of this Form 10-Q. ~~We do~~As the convertible notes mature in December 2021, the Company is currently negotiating to restructure the convertible notes with the noteholders and at this time is uncertain as to the outcome. If the restructuring discussions are not ~~currently anticipate that we will have sufficient funds~~successful, the Company intends to ~~pay~~use its available cash resources to repay the principal upon maturity per the terms of the convertible ~~notes on their maturity date.~~notes. The inability to ~~restructure,~~ borrow or raise sufficient funds ~~to refinance the convertible notes~~ on commercially reasonable terms, ~~or at all,~~ would have serious consequences to our financial condition and results of operations.

Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to our growth, market acceptance of our offerings, the timing and extent of spending to support our efforts to develop our platform, and the expansion of sales and marketing activities. We may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. If additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we issue additional equity securities to raise additional funds, further dilution to existing stockholders may occur. However, we cannot predict with certainty the outcome of our actions to generate liquidity, including the availability of additional financing. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Please see the Financings section below for more details on the Company’s recent efforts to fund operating activities.

Outlook

On July 8, 2021, the shareholders of the Company approved an increase in the number of authorized ordinary shares from 110,000,000 ~~Ordinary Shares~~ordinary shares of nominal value NIS 0.15 per share to 160,000,000 ~~Ordinary Shares~~ordinary shares of nominal value NIS 0.15 per share. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company growing the business, obtaining the necessary financing to meet its obligations, repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations, and the Company’s ability to gain compliance with the Nasdaq Capital Market listing standards (see Item 1A Risk Factors in the 2020Annual Report and Item 1A. Risk Factors in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 for additional information). The Company’s ability to finance its capital needs is uncertain and complicated by the convertible notes maturing in December 2021 with an outstanding principal amount of $10.0 million and the decline in the stock price below $1.00 resulting in non-compliance with the Nasdaq Capital listing standard. The currentinitial cure period ~~ends~~ended on October 5, 2021. IfThe Company received a 180-day extension in October 2021 to meet the minimum bid price requirement. The Company now has until April 4, 2022 to meet this requirement. The Company will continue to monitor the bid price for its ordinary shares and consider various options available to it if the ordinary shares do not trade at a level that is likely to regain compliance. These options include effecting a reverse stock split. There can be no assurance that the Company ~~cannot~~will regain compliance ~~by then,~~with the ~~Company intends to request a second 180 day cure period, however, there is no guarantee that this will be accepted.~~minimum bid price requirement or maintain compliance with any of the other Nasdaq continued listing requirements.

Over the past several years, the Company has devoted most of its effort to research and development ~~new product development,~~ and increasing revenues through additional investments in sales and marketing.

Capitalization of technology has decreased in 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to the new products launched in the first half of 2020.

Financings

On December 5, 2018, the Company issued $10.0 million aggregate principal amount of convertible notes in a private placement to affiliates of an existing minority institutional shareholder. The convertible notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of Cyren and carry a 5.75% interest rate, payable semi-annually in (i) 50% cash and (ii) 50% cash or ordinary shares at Cyren’s election. The notes have a 3-year term and mature in December 2021, unless converted in accordance with their terms prior to maturity. The notes were issued with a conversion price of $3.90 per share which was subject to adjustment using a weighted-average ratchet mechanism based on the size and price of future equity offerings and the total shares outstanding. We are currently negotiating ~~the restructuring of~~to restructure the convertible notes with the ~~note holders~~noteholders to postpone the final repayment date by several months under certain terms, although there is no assurance that we will be able to do so on commercially reasonable terms or at all. If the restructuring discussions are not successful, the Company intends to use its available cash resources to repay the principal upon maturity per the terms of the convertible notes.

On November 7, 2019, we completed a rights offering that raised gross proceeds of $8.0 million. As a result of this offering, the conversion price of the convertible notes was adjusted to $3.73. In addition, the convertible notes are subject to immediate conversion upon any change in control in the Company (or subject to repayment if the price in the change in control transaction is less than the conversion price).

On March 19, 2020, we issued $10.25 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Debentures in a private placement to certain investors. The Convertible Debentures are secured by a guarantee by two of our subsidiaries and carry a 5.75% interest rate, payable semi-annually in cash or, subject to the satisfaction of certain equity conditions, in ordinary shares. The Convertible Debentures mature in March 2024, unless converted in accordance with their terms prior to maturity. The Convertible Debentures have an initial conversion price of $0.75 per share, subject to adjustments. If the closing bid price of our ordinary shares has been at least $2.25 (subject to adjustment) for at least 20 trading days during any 30 consecutive trading day period, and certain conditions are satisfied, we may force a conversion of all or any part of the outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Debentures, accrued and unpaid interest and any other amounts then owing, subject to certain conditions.

Registration Statements

In connection with our private placement to Warburg Pincus in November 2017, in which we issued approximately 10.6 million ordinary shares for $1.85 per share, we and Warburg Pincus entered into a registration rights agreement, which, among other things, provides Warburg Pincus with three demand registration rights, piggyback and shelf registration rights. The demand registration rights became exercisable as of August 6, 2018, subject to certain customary blackout periods.

In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Debentures, we entered into a registration rights agreement with the purchasers. Pursuant to that agreement, we filed a registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC covering the resale of our ordinary shares that are issuable to the purchasers upon any conversion of the Convertible Debentures or as interest payments.

On September 21, 2018, we filed a shelf registration statement on Form F-3 with the SEC, which we converted to a Form S-3 on August 16, 2019. This registration statement enables us to issue debt securities, ordinary shares, warrants, or subscription rights up to an aggregate amount of $50 million. Under the rules governing shelf registration statements, we will file a prospectus supplement with the SEC which describes the amount and type of securities being offered each time we issue securities under this registration statement. No securities were issued under the registration statement on Form F-3. In November 2019, we issued shares as part of our rights offerings, and in February 2021, we issued shares in the registered direct offering using our Form S-3 as described above.

On October 1, 2021, as a part of the private placement noted above in September 2021, we a filed shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC. This registration registered 29,154,725 ordinary shares, consisting of (i) 14,152,779 ordinary shares, (ii) 14,152,779 ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants issued in a private placement described above, and (iii) 849,167 ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the placement agent warrants issued in a private placement described above.

Please refer to the factors described in Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors in ~~this~~the Quarterly Report for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2021 and Part I. Item 1A.

Impact from the COVID-19 Outbreak

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a respiratory disease caused by a new coronavirus as a “pandemic” which is now known as COVID-19. The outbreak has impacted thousands of individuals worldwide. In response, many countries have implemented measures to combat the outbreak which have impacted global business operations.

As of the date of issuance of the financial statements, the Company’s operations have not been significantly impacted, however, the Company continues to monitor the situation. The ultimate extent of the impact of any epidemic, pandemic, or other health crisis on our business, financial condition, and results of operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of such epidemic, pandemic or other health crisis and actions taken to contain or prevent their further spread, among others.

No impairments were recorded as of the balance sheet date as no triggering events or changes in circumstances had occurred as of quarter-end; however, due to significant uncertainty surrounding the situation, management’s judgment regarding this could change in the future.

In addition, while the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial condition could be negatively impacted, the extent of the impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
