Forward-Looking Statements

This  Report  on  Form  6-K  contains  forward-looking   statements,   including
projections  about our  business,  within  the  meaning  of  Section  27A of the
Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1934.
For example, statements in the future tense, and statements including words such
as "expect", "plan", "estimate",  anticipate",  or "believe" are forward-looking
statements.  These  statements are based on  information  available to us at the
time of the  Report;  we  assume  no  obligation  to  update  any of  them.  The
statements in this Report are not  guarantees of future  performance  and actual
results could differ  materially  from our current  expectations  as a result of
numerous factors, including the failure of the Company to satisfy the conditions
imposed by the Nasdaq Listing  Qualifications Panel for the continued listing of
Commtouch shares on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market;  business  conditions and growth
or deterioration  in the Internet market,  commerce and the general economy both
domestic   as  well  as   international;   fewer   than   expected   new-partner
relationships;  competitive  factors including pricing pressures;  technological
developments,  and products  offered by  competitors;  availability of qualified
staff for expansion;  and  technological  difficulties and resource  constraints
encountered in developing  new products as well as those risks  described in the
Company's  Annual  Reports  on Form  20-F and  reports  on Form  6-K,  which are
available through www.sec.gov.

Purpose of this Report

Attached as Exhibit 99.1 to the Company's Form 6-K filed with the Securities and
Exchange  Commission  ("SEC") on  November  5, 2004 (the  "Prior Form 6-K") is a
press release summarizing certain Nasdaq Listing  Qualifications Panel ("Panel")
requirements  relating to continued listing of the Company's  Ordinary Shares on
The Nasdaq  SmallCap  Market.  Included in that summary is the  requirement of a
filing by  December  15,  2004 with the SEC and Nasdaq of an  unaudited  balance
sheet no older than 60 days, on a proforma as adjusted basis for any significant
events or  transactions  occurring  subsequent  to the date of the balance sheet
(but  before  the  date of this  filing),  evidencing  compliance  with the $2.5
million shareholders' equity requirement.

The  Company  believes  that the filing of this Form 6-K,  inclusive  of the pro
forma balance sheet set forth below,  is sufficient to meet the above  described
Nasdaq requirement. However, the Company remains subject to the Panel's hearings
exception until the Company has  demonstrated  an ability to sustain  compliance
with the minimum shareholders' equity requirement over the long term.

Description of Transactions Resulting in Proforma Adjustment

On October 31, 2004,  Commtouch entered into two  transactions:  1) a Securities
Purchase  Agreement  ("SPA")  for the sale of 6.38  million  Series A  Preferred
Shares  to new and  existing  investors  of  Commtouch  for $3.19  million  at a
purchase  price of $0.50 per share and 2) a  Redemption,  Amendment and Exchange
Agreement  ("RAE"),  pursuant to which the Company  and note  holders  under the
convertible loan transaction of November 2003 agreed that the Company would make
an early repayment of the $3 million (plus interest) loan,  issue  approximately
3.3 million  warrants and 900,000 Series A Preferred  Shares in exchange for the
note holders' agreement to allow for the early repayment of the loan, removal of
security interests and waivers of certain rights. A more detailed summary of the
provisions  of the SPA and RAE  transactions  is  included in the Prior Form 6-K
filing.

The SPA  and RAE  transactions  were  subject  to  certain  closing  conditions,
including  the  approval of  shareholders.  On December 6, 2004,  the  Company's
shareholders approved the two transactions, as well as related amendments to the
Company's  Amended  and  Restated  Articles  of  Association.  Coupled  with the
satisfaction of all other closing conditions, this enabled the parties to call a
closing of the transactions on December 9, 2004.

Proforma October 2004 Condensed Balance Sheets

Presented below are the following balance sheets:

     1.      Audited condensed balance sheet as at December 31, 2003

     2.      Unaudited condensed balance sheet as at October 31, 2004

     3.      Unaudited  condensed  balance sheet as at October 31, 2004 on a pro
             forma,  as  adjusted  basis,  to  give  effect  to the  SPA and RAE
             transactions. The as adjusted numbers reflect:

             a.    The private  placement of 6,380,000 Series A Preferred shares
                   of the Company for an aggregate  amount of $3.19 million.  As
                   of the date of the filing of the Form 6-K,  the  Company  had
                   received $2.92 million of these investment funds.

             b.    The  repayment  of $3  million  in  principal,  plus  accrued
                   interest, outstanding under convertible notes issued pursuant
                   to the November 2003 convertible loan transaction.
