And he added: “We continue broadening our international footprint. In India we have been successful in signing contracts with hospitals in Kolkata, Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore.

Business Review
Germany
In July, SHL announced the signing of an agreement to acquire the telehealth services business of almeda GmbH. The acquired business will contribute annual revenues of USD 7 to 10 million to SHL’s German business. The acquisition of the almeda telehealth services business complements and expands SHL's offering in Germany and will further advance its mission of being the leading provider of telehealth services in Germany.
The consideration for the business will not have a material effect on SHL's cash position. SHL is advancing towards completing the acquisition of almeda by the end of 2013, with a possible final closing date in 2014.
Israel
SHL’s Israeli business continued to perform well, showing continued strong financial performance. SHL's Israeli operation continues to lead the Israeli telemedicine market, serving as an important knowledge base for the company.
Other International markets
During the period SHL announced entering the Indian healthcare market through collaborations with Indian hospitals. These will offer the SHL telemedicine solution to their patients, as part of their routine out of hospital patient care programs. In conjunction, SHL has signed several agreements with Indian hospitals: Belle Vue Clinic and Woodlands Multispeciality Hospital in Kolkata, Jupiter Hospital, in the greater Mumbai Region, Alchemist Hospital, the Pushpanjali Crosslay Hospital and Artemis Health Institute in greater Delhi and most recently with Manipal Hospital in Bangalore, the flagship hospital of Manipal Hospitals, and ranked amongst the Top 10 multispecialty hospitals in India. SHL expects to sign additional, similar in nature, long term agreements with hospitals and to start providing telemedicine services to these contracts as of early 2014.

These are calculated by translating the 2013 results using the average 2012 exchange rates instead of the current period exchange rates. Management believes that this presentation enables a more meaningful comparison between the periods due to the significant fluctuations in NIS/USD/EUR exchange rates.
