 INTRODUCTION
 
 We are an Israel based defense electronics contractor.  We specialize in the development, manufacture and sale of data recording and management systems (such as digital video and data recorders, ground debriefing stations, head-up display cameras), inertial navigation systems for air and land applications, avionics solutions (such as aircraft upgrades, avionics for unmanned aircraft vehicles, or UAVs, store management systems and interface computers) and radar sensors for anti-terrorism/force protection systems (ground radars for applications such as active protection systems for armored fighting vehicles and perimeter surveillance).
  Our shares are traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol "RADA."  As used in this annual report, the terms "we," "us" and "our" mean RADA Electronic Industries Ltd. and its subsidiaries, unless otherwise indicated.
  Our consolidated financial statements appearing in this annual report are prepared in U.S. dollars and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or U.S. GAAP.  All references in this annual report to "dollars" or "$" are to U.S. dollars and all references in this annual report to "NIS" are to New Israeli Shekels.
  Statements made in this annual report concerning the contents of any contract, agreement or other document are summaries of such contracts, agreements or documents and are not complete descriptions of all of their terms.  If we filed any of these documents as an exhibit to this annual report or to any previous filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, you may read the document itself for a complete recitation of its terms.
  Except for the historical information contained in this annual report, the statements contained in this annual report are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended, with respect to our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risk Factors
  Investing in our ordinary shares involves a high degree of risk and uncertainty.  You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below before investing in our ordinary shares.  Our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected due to any of the following risks.  In that case, the value of our ordinary shares could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
  Risks Related to Our Business and Our Industry
  We have a recent history of losses, and may not be able to achieve or sustain profitability in the future)
  We incurred net losses in each of the four years ended December 31, 2008 and as of December 31, 2010 our accumulated deficit was $ 62 million.  While we reported net income of $213,000 and $734,000 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010, we may not be able to achieve or sustain profitability in the future.
  We may need to raise additional capital in the future, which may not be available to us.
  Our working capital requirements and the cash flow from our operating activities are likely to vary greatly from quarter to quarter, depending on the timing of orders and deliveries, the build-up of inventories, and the payment terms offered to our customers.  As a consequence of our significant losses in prior years, we incurred significant bank debt and sold equity and debt securities in private placements in the years 1997 through 2010.  We may need to raise additional funds for a number of uses, including:
  ·
Working capital and operating activities;
  ·
Implementing marketing and sales activities for our products;
  ·
Maintaining and expanding research and development programs;
  ·
Hiring additional qualified personnel; and
  ·
Supporting an increased level of operations.
  7
  We may not be able to obtain additional funds on favorable terms.  If we cannot raise needed funds on favorable terms, we may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate some aspects of our operations and we may not be able to:
  ·
Develop new products;
  ·
Enhance our existing products;
  ·
Remain current with evolving industry standards;
  ·
Fulfill our contractual obligations;
  ·
Take advantage of future opportunities;
  ·
Respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements; or
  ·
Retain our listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market.
  If adequate funds are not available to us, our business, and results of operations and financial condition will be materially and adversely affected.  Any equity or debt financings may cause dilution to our then existing shareholders and may increase our financing expenses.  If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, the net tangible book value per share of our ordinary shares would decrease and the percentage ownership of then current shareholders would be diluted.
  We may not be able to implement our growth strategy which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
  In line with our growth strategy, we have entered into a number of strategic relationships with Embraer Defense Systems, Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd, Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd., or IAI, Lockheed Martin Aeronautics, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd, or Rafael, and Israel Military Industries Ltd, or IMI,to increase our penetration into the defense electronics market.  We are currently investing and intend to continue to invest significant resources to develop these relationships.  Should our relationships fail to materialize into significant agreements or should we fail to work efficiently with these companies, we may lose sales and marketing opportunities and our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.
  Our growth is dependant in part on the development of new products, based on internal research and development.  We may not accurately identify market needs before we invest in the development of a new product.  In addition, we might face difficulties or delays in the development process that will result in our inability to timely offer products that satisfy the market and competing products may emerge during the development and certification process.
  Unfavorable national and global economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
  The 2008 and 2009 crisis in the financial and credit markets in the United States, Europe and Asia led to a global economic slowdown, with the economies of the United States and Europe showing significant signs of weakness.  Although global economic conditions have begun to stabilize or improve, many of the markets in which we operate remain uncertain.  If the economies in the countries in which we operate remain uncertain or weaken further, the demand for our products and technology may decrease as a result of continued constraints on capital spending by our customers.  In addition, this could result in longer sales cycles and increased price competition for our products.  Any of these events would likely harm our business, operating results and financial condition.  If global economic and market conditions, or economic conditions in the United States, Europe or Asia or other key markets, remain uncertain or weaken further, our business, operating results and financial condition may be materially adversely affected.
  8
  On March 11, 2011, an earthquake off the eastern coast of Japan triggered a devastating tsunami tidal wave, causing damage and destruction.  It is too early to predict the long-term impact of this disaster on the economy of Japan and elsewhere.
  Competition in the market for defense electronics is intense.  Our products may not achieve market acceptance which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
  The market for our products is highly competitive and we may not be able to compete effectively in our market.  Our principal competitors in the defense electronics market include, Elbit Systems, GE Avionics, Goodrich, Honeywell, IAI, Northrop Grumman, Sagem, THALES, Zodiac group and Astronautics C.A.  We expect to continue to face competition from these and other competitors.  Most of our competitors are larger and have substantially greater resources than us, including financial, technological, marketing and distribution capabilities, and enjoy greater market recognition than we do.  These competitors are able to achieve greater economies of scale and may be less vulnerable to price competition than us.  We may not be able to offer our products as part of integrated systems to the same extent as our competitors or successfully develop or introduce new products that are more cost effective or offer better performance than those of our competitors.  Failure to do so could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
  Reduction in defense budgets worldwide may cause a reduction in our revenues, which would adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
  The vast majority of our revenues is derived from the sale of products with military applications.  These revenues totaled approximately $26.1 million, or 95% of our revenues, in 2010, $16.1 million, or 88% of our revenues, in 2009 and $15.3 million, or 86% of our revenues, in 2008.  The defense budgets of a number of countries may be reduced in the future.  Declines in defense budgets may result in reduced demand for our products and manufacturing services.  This would result in reduction in our core business' revenues and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
  Sales of our products are subject to governmental procurement procedures and practices; termination, reduction or modification of contracts with our customers or a substantial decrease in our customers' budgets may adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
  Our products are sold primarily to government agencies and authorities and government-owned companies, many of which have complex and time-consuming procurement procedures.  A long period of time often elapses from the time we begin marketing a product until we actually sell that product to a particular customer.  In addition, our sales to government agencies, authorities and companies are directly affected by these customers' budgetary constraints and the priority given in their budgets to the procurement of our products.
  Further, our business with the State of Israel and other governmental entities is, in general, subject to delays in funding and performance of contracts and the termination for convenience (among other reasons) of contracts or subcontracts with governmental entities.  The termination, reduction or modification of our contracts or subcontracts with the Government of Israel in the event of change in requirements, policies or budgetary constraints would have an adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
  If we do not receive the governmental approvals necessary for the export of our products, our revenues may decrease.  Similarly if our suppliers and partners do not receive government approvals necessary to export their products or designs to us, our revenues may decrease and we may fail to implement our growth strategy.
  Israel's defense export policy regulates the sale of our systems and products.  Current Israeli policy encourages export to approved customers of defense systems and products, such as ours, as long as the export is consistent with Israeli government policy.  A license is required to initiate marketing activities.  We are also required to obtain a specific export license for any hardware exported from Israel.  We may not be able to receive all the required permits and licenses for which we may apply in the future.  If we do not receive the required permits for which we apply, our revenues may decrease.
  9
  We are subject to laws regulating export of "dual use" items (items that are typically sold in the commercial market, but that also may be used in the defense market) and defense export control legislation.  Additionally, our participation in governmental procurement processes in Israel and other countries is subject to specific regulations governing the conduct of the process of procuring defense contracts.  Furthermore, solicitations for procurements by governmental purchasing agencies in Israel and other countries are governed by laws, regulations and procedures relating to procurement integrity, including avoiding conflicts of interest and corruption in the procurement process.  We may not be able to respond quickly and effectively to changing laws and regulations and any failure to comply with such laws and regulations may subject us to significant liability and penalties.
  We depend on sales to key customers and the loss of one or more of our key customers would result in a loss of a significant amount of our revenues, which would adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
  A significant portion of our revenues is derived from a small number of customers.  Our major customers during the three years ended December 31, 2010 were as follows:

  We anticipate that a significant portion of our future revenues will continue to be derived from sales to a small number of customers.  If our principal customers do not continue to purchase products from us at current levels or if such customers are not retained and we are not able to derive sufficient revenues from sales to new customers to compensate for their loss, our revenues would be reduced and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
  We depend on a limited number of suppliers of components for our products and if we are unable to obtain these components when needed, we could experience delays in the manufacturing of our products and our financial results could be adversely affected.
  We acquire most of the components for the manufacturing of our products from a limited number of suppliers and subcontractors, most of whom are located in Israel and the United States.  Certain of these suppliers are currently the sole source of one or more components upon which we are dependent.  Suppliers of some of the components for manufacturing require us to place orders with significant lead-time to assure supply in accordance with our manufacturing requirements.  Inadequacy of operating funds may cause us to delay the placement of such orders and may result in delays in supply.  Delays in supply may significantly hurt our ability to fulfill our contractual obligations and may significantly hurt our business and result of operations.  In addition, we may not be able to continue to obtain such components from these suppliers on satisfactory commercial terms.  Temporary disruptions of our manufacturing operations would ensue if we were required to obtain components from alternative sources, which may have an adverse effect on our financial results.
  Rapid technological changes may adversely affect the market acceptance of our products and could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
  The defense electronics market in which we compete is subject to technological changes, introduction of new products, change in customer demands and evolving industry standards.  Our future success will depend upon our ability to keep pace with technological developments and to timely address the increasingly sophisticated needs of our customers by supporting existing and new technologies and by developing and introducing enhancements to our current products and new products.  We may not be successful in developing and marketing enhancements to our products that will respond to technological change, evolving industry standards or customer requirements.  In addition, we may experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful development, introduction and sale of such enhancements and such enhancements may not adequately meet the requirements of the market and may not achieve any significant degrees of market acceptance.  If release dates of our new products or enhancements are delayed or, if when released, they fail to achieve market acceptance, our business, operating results and financial condition would be materially adversely affected.
  10
  We are subject to risks associated with international operations.
  Exports accounted for 67% of our sales in 2010, 65% of our sales in 2009 and 55% of our sales in 2008.  This subjects us to many risks inherent in engaging in international business, including:
  ·
Limitations and disruptions resulting from the imposition of  government controls;
  ·
Changes in regulatory requirements;
  ·
Export license requirements;
  ·
Economic or political instability;
  ·
Trade restrictions;
  ·
Changes in tariffs;
  ·
Currency fluctuations;
  ·
Longer receivable collection periods and greater difficulty in accounts receivable collection;
  ·
Greater difficulty in safeguarding intellectual property;
  ·
Difficulties in managing overseas subsidiaries and international operations; and
  ·
Potential adverse tax consequences.
  We may not be able to sustain or increase revenues from international operations and may encounter significant difficulties in connection with the sale of our products in international markets.  Any of those events will have a material adverse affect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
  Currency exchange rate fluctuations in the world markets in which we conduct business could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
  We may be adversely affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates.  While our revenues are generally denominated in U.S. dollars, a significant portion of our expenses is incurred in NIS.  We engage in currency hedging transactions intended to partly reduce the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on our results of operations.  However, such transactions may not materially reduce the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on our results of operations.  In the future, such fluctuations may have a material adverse effect on revenues from international sales, operating expenses and consequently, on our business, operating results and financial condition.
  We are dependent on our senior management and key personnel, and the loss of any key member of our management team could adversely affect our business.
  Our future success depends in large part on the continued services of our senior management and key personnel.  In particular, we are dependent on the services of Herzle Bodinger, the chairman of our Board of Directors and our president, and Mr. Zvi Alon, our chief executive officer.  Any loss of their services or the services of other members of senior management or other key personnel could negatively and materially affect our business.
  11
  Claims that our products infringe upon the intellectual property of third parties may require us to incur significant costs, enter into licensing agreements or license substitute technology.
  Third parties may assert infringement claims against us or claims that we have violated a patent or infringed on a copyright, trademark or other proprietary right belonging to them.  Any infringement claim, even one without merit, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources to defend against the claim.  Moreover, a successful claim of product infringement against us or a settlement could require us to pay substantial amounts or obtain a license to continue to use the technology that is the subject of the claim, or otherwise restrict or prohibit our use of the technology.  We might not be able to obtain a license from the third party asserting the claim on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.  We also may not be able to be able to obtain a license from another provider of suitable alternative technology to permit us to continue offering the product.  Infringement claims asserted against us could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
  We may fail to maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which could have an adverse effect on our financial results and the market price of our ordinary shares.
  The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 imposes certain duties on us and our executives and directors.  Our efforts to comply with the requirements of Section 404(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 governing internal controls and procedures for financial reporting, which started in connection with our 2007 Annual Report on form 20-F, have resulted in increased general and administrative expense and a diversion of management time and attention, and we expect these efforts to require the continued commitment of significant resources.  We may identify material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our assessments of our internal controls over financial reporting.  Failure to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting could result in investigation or sanctions by regulatory authorities and could have a material adverse effect on our operating results, investor confidence in our reported financial information and the market price of our ordinary shares.
  Risk Factors Related to Our Ordinary Shares
  One of our shareholders is able to control matters requiring a shareholder vote.
  Mr. Howard Yeung beneficially owns approximately 58.1% of our outstanding shares.  As a result, Mr. Yeung may be deemed to have effective control over our company and so long as he holds such ownership interest, he will continue to be able to exert significant influence over matters requiring a shareholder vote, including the election of our entire Board of Directors other than our two outside directors, and will generally have the ability to direct our business and affairs.
  Our share price has been volatile in the past and may decline in the future.
  Our ordinary shares have experienced significant market price and volume fluctuations in the past and may experience significant market price and volume fluctuations in the future in response to factors such as the following, some of which are beyond our control:
  ·
Quarterly variations in our operating results;
  ·
Operating results that vary from the expectations of securities analysts and investors;
  ·
Changes in expectations as to our future financial performance, including financial estimates by securities analysts and investors;
  ·
Announcements of technological innovations or new products by us or our competitors;
  12
  ·
Announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;
  ·
Changes in the status of our intellectual property rights;
  ·
Announcements by third parties of significant claims or proceedings against us;
  ·
Additions or departures of key personnel;
  ·
Future sales of our ordinary shares;
  ·
Delisting of our shares from the NASDAQ Capital Market; and
  ·
Stock market price and volume fluctuations.
  Domestic and international stock markets often experience extreme price and volume fluctuations.  Market fluctuations, as well as general political and economic conditions, such as a recession or interest rate or currency rate fluctuations or political events or hostilities in or surrounding Israel, could adversely affect the market price of our ordinary shares.
  In the past, securities class action litigation has often been brought against companies following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities.  We may in the future be the target of similar litigation.  Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and divert management's attention and resources both of which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
  Substantial future sales of our ordinary shares by our principal shareholder may depress our share price.
  If our principal shareholder sells substantial amounts of his ordinary shares, including shares registered under effective registration statements and shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants or upon the conversion of convertible notes, or if the perception exists that our principal shareholder may sell a substantial number of our ordinary shares, the market price of our ordinary shares may fall.  Any substantial sales of our shares in the public market also might make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity related securities in the future at a time and on terms we deem appropriate.
  We do not intend to pay dividends.
  We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our ordinary shares and do not expect to do so in the foreseeable future.  The declaration of dividends is subject to the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on various factors, including our operating results, financial condition, future prospects and any other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors.  You should not rely on an investment in our company if you require dividend income from your investment in our company.  The success of your investment will likely depend entirely upon any future appreciation of the market price of our ordinary shares, which is uncertain and unpredictable.  There is no guarantee that our ordinary shares will appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which you purchased your ordinary shares.
  Risks Relating to Our Location in Israel
  Political, economic and military instability in Israel may disrupt our operations and negatively affect our business condition, harm our results of operations and adversely affect our share price.
  We are incorporated under the laws of, and our principal executive offices and manufacturing and research and development facilities are located in, the State of Israel.  As a result, political, economic and military conditions in Israel directly influence us.  Any major hostilities involving Israel, a full or partial mobilization of the reserve forces of the Israeli army, the interruption or curtailment of trade between Israel and its present trading partners, or a significant downturn in the economic or financial condition of Israel could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
  13
  Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, Israel and its Arab neighbors have engaged in a number of armed conflicts.  A state of hostility, varying in degree and intensity, has led to security and economic problems for Israel.  Major hostilities between Israel and its neighbors may hinder Israel's international trade and lead to economic downturn.  This, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our operations and business.  There has been an increase in unrest and terrorist activity in Israel, which began in September 2000 and which has continued with varying levels of severity through 2010.  In recent years, there was an escalation in violence among Israel, Hamas, the Palestinian Authority and other groups.  Ongoing or future violence between Israel and the Palestinians,armed conflicts, terrorist activities, tension along Israel's northern borders, or political instability in the region would likely disrupt international trading activities in Israel and may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditions and results of operations.
  Recent popular uprisings in various countries in the Middle East are affecting the political stability of those countries.  In addition, such instability may affect the global economy and marketplace as a result of changes in oil and gas prices.  Any events that affect the State of Israel may impact us in unpredictable ways.  If our operations are significantly impacted by such events, our results of operations may be adversely affected.
  Many of our employees in Israel are obligated to perform annual military reserve duty and are subject to being called for active duty under emergency circumstances.  If a military conflict or war arises, these individuals could be required to serve in the military for extended periods of time.  Our operations could be disrupted by the absence for a significant period of one or more of our executive officers or key employees or a significant number of other employees due to military service.  Any disruption in our operations could adversely affect our business.
  Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies may affect our operating results.
  We report our financial results in dollars, while a significant amount of our expenses, primarily salaries and facility related costs, are paid in NIS.  Therefore, our NIS related costs, as expressed in U.S. dollars, are influenced by the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the NIS.  Since 2007, the NIS has generally appreciated against the U.S. dollar, which resulted in a significant increase in the U.S. dollar cost of our NIS expenses.  We are also influenced by the timing of, and the extent to which, any increase in the rate of inflation in Israel over the rate of inflation in the United States is not offset by the depreciation of the NIS against the dollar.  Our dollar costs in Israel will increase if inflation in Israel exceeds the depreciation of the NIS against the dollar or if the timing of such depreciation lags behind inflation in Israel.  We cannot predict any future trends in the rate of inflation in Israel or the rate of depreciation or appreciation of the NIS against the dollar.  If the dollar cost of our operations in Israel increases, our dollar measured results of operations will be adversely affected.
  Service and enforcement of legal process on us and our directors and officers may be difficult to obtain.
  Service of process upon our directors and officers and the Israeli experts named herein, most of whom reside outside the United States, may be difficult to obtain within the United States.  Furthermore, since substantially all of our assets, most of our directors and officers and the Israeli experts named in this annual report are located outside the U.S., any judgment obtained in the United States against us or these individuals or entities may not be collectible within the United States.
  There is doubt as to the enforceability of civil liabilities under the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act in original actions instituted in Israel.  However, subject to certain time limitations and other conditions, Israeli courts may enforce final judgments of United States courts for liquidated amounts in civil matters, including judgments based upon the civil liability provisions of those Acts.
  14
  Your rights and responsibilities as a shareholder will be governed by Israeli law and differ in some respects from those of a typical U.S. corporation.
  Because we are an Israeli company, the rights and responsibilities of our shareholders are governed by our articles of association and by Israeli law.  These rights and responsibilities differ in some respects from the rights and responsibilities of shareholders in a typical U.S. corporation.  In particular, a shareholder of an Israeli company has a duty to act in good faith towards the company and other shareholders and to refrain from abusing his, her or its power in the company, including, among other things, in voting at the general meeting of shareholders on certain matters.  Israeli law provides that these duties are applicable to shareholder votes on, among other things, amendments to a company's articles of association, increases in a company's authorized share capital, mergers and interested party transactions requiring shareholder approval.  In addition, a shareholder who knows that it possesses the power to determine the outcome of a shareholders' vote or to appoint or prevent the appointment of a director or executive officer in the company has a duty of fairness towards the company.  However, Israeli law does not define the substance of this duty of fairness.  Furthermore Israeli corporate law regulates mergers, requires tender offers for acquisition of shares above specified thresholds and prescribes special approvals for transactions involving office holders and controlling shareholders.  Because Israeli corporate law has undergone extensive revisions in recent years, there is little case law available to assist in understanding the implications of these provisions that govern shareholder behavior.
  As a foreign private issuer whose shares are listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market, we may follow certain home country corporate governance practices instead of certain NASDAQ requirements.  We follow Israeli law and practice instead of NASDAQ rules regarding the composition of the board of directors, director nomination process, compensation of executive officers and the requirement that our independent directors have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.
  As a foreign private issuer whose shares are listed on The NASDAQ Capital Market, we are permitted to follow certain home country corporate governance practices instead of certain requirements of The NASDAQ Marketplace Rules.  We follow Israeli law and practice instead of The NASDAQ Marketplace Rules regarding the composition of the board of directors, director nomination process, compensation of executive officers and the requirement that our independent directors have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.  As a foreign private issuer listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market, we may also follow home country practice with regard to, among other things, quorum at shareholders' meetings and the requirement to obtain shareholder approval for certain dilutive events (such as for the establishment or amendment of certain equity-based compensation plans, an issuance that will result in a change of control of the company, certain transactions other than a public offering involving issuances of a 20% or more interest in the company and certain acquisitions of the stock or assets of another company).  A foreign private issuer that elects to follow a home country practice instead of NASDAQ requirements must submit to NASDAQ in advance a written statement from an independent counsel in such issuer's home country certifying that the issuer's practices are not prohibited by the home country's laws.  In addition, a foreign private issuer must disclose in its annual reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission each such requirement that it does not follow and describe the home country practice followed by the issuer instead of any such requirement.  Accordingly, our shareholders may not be afforded the same protection as provided under NASDAQ's corporate governance rules.

Business Overview
  Industry Overview
  Our activity is primarily focused on the defense electronics market.  This market has grown in recent years and is currently a large part of the defense business.  The defense electronics market reflects two contradictory trends, the proliferation of defense electronics on one hand, which has been offset by the significant reduction in the price of electronic systems which is reducing the dollar value of the market.  Today, new military vehicles of all kinds are equipped with significantly more electronic systems than they used to carry in the past.  The increasing usage of advanced electronics in modern vehicles, including upgrades of existing technology and the growing use of unmanned vehicles of all kinds, have provided significant growth to the market.
  Today's advanced defense electronics systems typically try to incorporate components that are derived from the industrial or the consumer electronics markets, especially from the telecom markets.  Most of the defense electronics systems are built with commercial components and even sub-systems, a fact that reduces the overall price, and at the same time generates complex obsolescence issues.
  Purchasers of defense electronics products are either governments or major integrators.  Engagement in business relationships with these customers is complex, has a long sales cycle and requires long-term commitments for future support of delivered hardware.  Production batches of such products are usually small.
  Suppliers of defense electronic systems are either providers of sub-systems to major integrators or providers of integrated systems to the industry or to the armed forces.  These companies are typically very large and have diversified product offerings.
  New products in the defense electronic market are usually developed utilizing internal and customer sponsored research and development funds and are tailored to specific customer needs.  In many cases, the customer who pays for the design and adaptation limits the use of intellectual property that was funded by it for other applications, due to either commercial or security reasons.

Automatic self-calibration, and
  §
Very high reliability and affordability.
  In the implementation process of our radar systems we demonstrate extremely short development and adaptation cycles, mainly through the usage of standard processors, standard operating systems, and automatic translation of simulation code into operational software. Usage of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) components ensures low costs and high reliability figures. Our radar systems are simple to interface with, through the usage of standard Ethernet links, and are simple to install and easy to maintain.
  Currently our radar product line includes the following products:
  ·
RPS-10 Radar for Active Protection Systems
  ·
RHS-20 Perimeter Surveillance Radar (PSR)
  We believe that our radar product line will become one of our growth engines in the near future.
  RPS-10 Radar for Active Protection Systems
  The RPS-10 is a Pulse Doppler radar system, compact and armored, designed specifically for active protection systems (APS) installed onboard armored fighting vehicles (AFV). This active electronically scanning array (AESA) radar is in the core of any APS.
  The role of the RPS-10 for use with APSs includes:
  ·
Detection of all relevant threats (ATMs, RPGs, projectiles),
  ·
Provision of threat data – range, velocity, angles – to the APS central processor,
  ·
Track-While-Search: Tracking of detected threats for precise data provisioning, while continuously scanning the entire arena, and
  ·
Locating threat firing points for weapon system counter-fire reaction.
  The data provided by the RPS-10 is used for automatic activation of threat-neutralizing countermeasures and for locating the threat's firing points. The radar is highly programmable and configurable, easily tailored to the operational needs and uniqueness of any APS. The radar subsystem, as part of the APS, is comprised of identical, independent and interchangeable units, interfacing among themselves and with the APS via standard Ethernet links.
  We have teamed with IMI for the integration and testing of our RPS-10 radar with the IMI "Iron Fist" APS.  During the last quarter of 2009 and in 2010, the integrated system was successful in passing live field tests in Israel, the United States and Germany, and it is now being offered to customers worldwide.
  RHS-20 Perimeter Surveillance Radar
  The RHS-20 Perimeter Surveillance Radar (PSR) is an advanced active electronically scanned array (AESA) Pulse Doppler radar. It provides constant coverage of 360 degrees, detects and tracks multiple moving targets such as pedestrians, vehicles, marine vessels and low-altitude/low speed flying vehicles (UAVs, Ultra-light Aircraft), all at ranges that enable adequate operational alert periods. This solid-state, static radar is tailored to military, paramilitary and civilian security applications such as border security, force protection and strategic resources protection.
  22
  The RHS-20 is a fully-digital radar, which is easily programmable and configurable to any operational scenario, including in real-time per pre-defined triggers. Operating at the C frequency Band, it shows superior performance over currently available radar systems in adverse weather (rain, snow) and poor visibility conditions.
  The RHS-20 interfaces with any security system and other radar systems and sensors via Ethernet, and is extremely reliable and affordable. Being compact and lightweight, it has inherent portability and can be installed onboard surveillance vehicles (on top of a mast) or at stationary sites.
  Support of Legacy Products
  We are continuing to support our customers that use our commercial aviation test stations by providing maintenance and repair services through product support agreements.
  Sales and Marketing
  Strategy
  Our sales and marketing strategy is based on the following principles:
  ·
Maintaining our business focus on electronic systems for the military and para-military markets;
  ·
Expanding our product offerings by adding new applications to our existing product lines and by adapting our products to land systems;
  ·
Expanding our customer base by including our products in solutions and integrated systems for airborne and land vehicles;

Establishing marketing channels with system integrators and major manufacturers such as Embraer, HAL, Lockheed Martin , IMI, IAI, Rafael and others; and
  ·
Expanding our products base and marketing activities to large potential markets, especially in the land systems and the Homeland Security segments, through identification of current and future applications that may become affordable by the injection of advanced commercial off-the-shelf technologies that offer superior performance and/or significant price savings, and developing new marketing channels aimed directly at these segments.
  Strategic Relationships and Customers
  As part of our strategy, we have entered into a number of strategic relationships with Lockheed Martin , GE Aviation, IMI, Israel Aerospace Industries, HAL, Embraer, Rafael and several air forces in South America.  We have focused our marketing and sales efforts to support these relationships.
  Lockheed Martin Aeronautics. Our sales of avionics products focus mainly on the F-16 aircraft manufactured by Lockheed Martin, the most popular fighter aircraft in the western world today.  Through a teaming agreement with GE Aviation, we are supplying the data acquisition system that includes our advanced data acquisition unit, which is manufactured at our production facility in Beit She'an, Israel.  In 2006, Lockheed Martin chose the GE Aviation/RADA team to supply our DVDR and GDS to its U.S. Sponsored F-16 foreign military sales and upgrades.  Since August 2009, we are supplying the GDS directly to Lockheed Martin.
  GEAviation.  GE Aviation is a worldwide leader in avionics systems for fighter and commercial aircraft.  As a subcontractor for GE Aviation, we developed significant parts of GE Aviation's data acquisition system for the F-16. In October 2003, we signed a teaming agreement with GE Aviation and to date, we have produced and shipped approximately 300 units to GE Aviation.  In 2007, after successful cooperation over a number of years, the teaming agreement was extended until the end of 2011.
  23
  Israel Military Industries.IMI is a world leader in the field of Active Protection Systems (APS) for land platforms and is the developer and manufacturer of the "Iron Fist" APS.  We have teamed with IMI on the integration and production of our RPS-10 radar as part of their APS solution for customers worldwide.
  Israel Aircraft Industries.  We actively supply avionics and test equipment to four different divisions of IAI.  In particular, the Lahav and Malat divisions of IAI, major aircraft integrators, utilize our services as an avionics and test equipment provider.
  Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd.  HAL is the major aerospace integrator in India.  We are currently cooperating with four divisions of HAL and supply DVDRs, HCVCs, debriefing stations, support equipment and other services to HAL in growing numbers.
  Embraer Defense Systems.  The Military Aircraft Division of this Brazilian aircraft manufacturer is a strategic customer for us. In addition to supplying MOTS units such as DVDR, INS and CHVC, we take a significant and continuously-growing part in Embraer's programs through the development and supply of avionic units per their specifications, and the provision of installation, design, training and support activities.
  Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd.  Rafael is a world leader in the development and supply of missiles, smart weapons and pods of various types.  Rafael has gradually become a strategic customer for us as a result of our development and production of a few advanced built-to-specification products in recent years.
  Air Forces in Latin America. We are performing a major upgrade program, with continued growth in its scope, for an air force in Latin America. We are the sole provider of digital recorders and debriefing solutions to another air force in the region. Both these air forces are strategic customers of ours and there is potential for long-term cooperation with them.
  Business Development and Marketing
  Our Chairman and President, Maj. Gen. (Ret.) Herzle Bodinger, our Chief Executive Officer, Mr., Zvi Alon, and our vice president of business development, marketing and sales, Mr. Dov Sella, lead our business development and marketing efforts.  We currently employ four additional professionals in the marketing and sales of our products.  Our chief technology officer and our engineering department support our marketing and sales efforts with respect to proposal preparations, and product demonstrations.  In addition, we have business development consultants in Europe, South America and Asia who receive fees from us for business successfully obtained through them.
  The Israeli Ministry of Defense has historically supported and continues to support our marketing efforts through its defense export assistance branch, or SIBAT, and various projects for the Israel Defense Forces and its related divisions.  The Israeli Ministry of Industry and Commerce supports our marketing efforts through its Industrial Cooperation Authority by the exploitation of "offset commitments" by Lockheed Martin Aerospace and the Boeing Company to the State of Israel.  There is no guarantee that this type of assistance will be available to us in the future.
  Fixed Price Contracts
  The vast majority of our contracts are fixed-price contracts.  Under fixed-price contracts, the price is not subject to adjustment by reason of the costs incurred in the performance of the contracts, as long as the costs incurred and work performed fall within governmental guidelines.  Under our fixed-price contracts, we assume the risk that increased or unexpected costs may reduce our profits or generate losses.  This risk can be particularly significant under a fixed-price contract for research and development involving new technologies.
  24
  Our books and records may be subject to audits by the Israeli Ministry of Defense and other governmental agencies, including the U.S. Department of Defense.  These audits may result in adjustments to contract costs and profits.  To date, we have not incurred any liability as a result of such audits.
  Principal Customers
  Generally, we complete a few major transactions each year, each in an amount comprising approximately 10% of our revenues for such year.  As a result, each year a significant portion of our revenues is derived from a small number of customers.  The following table sets forth our principal customers in 2009 and 2010:

 Although we continually strive to increase the number of our customers, we anticipate that a significant portion of our future revenues will continue to be derived from a small number of customers.
  Like many companies deriving a substantial portion of their revenues from government contracts, we are subject to business risks, including changes in governmental appropriations and changes in national defense policies and priorities.  Although many of the programs in which we participate as a contractor or subcontractor may extend for several years, our business is dependent upon annual appropriations and funding of new and existing contracts.  Most of the contracts are subject to termination for the convenience of the customer, pursuant to which the customer pays only for reimbursement of costs incurred and the applicable profit on work performed.  The Israeli Government or any other government may discontinue funding the purchase of our products over the long term.

 Competition
  The markets for our products are highly competitive.  Our principal competitors in the avionics and military electronics market include Elbit Systems, GE Avionics, Goodrich, Honeywell, IAI, Northrop Grumman, Sagem, Thales, the Zodiac group and Astronautics C.A.  We expect to continue to face competition from these and other competitors. Most of our competitors are larger and have substantially greater resources than us, including financial, technological, marketing and distribution capabilities, and enjoy greater market recognition than we do.  These competitors may be able to achieve greater economies of scale and may be less vulnerable to price competition than us.  We may not be able to offer our products as part of integrated systems to the same extent as our competitors or successfully develop or introduce new products that are more cost effective or offer better performance than those of our competitors.  Failure to do so could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
  25
  Government Regulations
  Israel's defense export policy regulates the sales of our systems and products.  Current Israeli policy encourages export to approved customers of defense systems and products, such as ours, as long as the export is consistent with Israeli government policy.  A license is required to initiate marketing activities.  We are also required to obtain a specific export license for any hardware exported from Israel.  We cannot assure you that we will receive all the required permits and licenses for which we may apply in the future.
  In 2007, an Israeli law regulating export of "dual use" items (items that are typically sold in the commercial market, but that also may be used in the defense market) came into effect.  In addition, a new Defense Export Control Law was adopted in 2007 and the law's supplemental regulations became effective in February 2008.  The new regulations and law enhance enforcement of export control legislation, provide certain exemptions from license requirements and broaden certain areas of licensing, particularly with respect to transfer of technology.  In addition, our participation in governmental procurement processes in Israel and other countries is subject to specific regulations governing the conduct of the process of procuring defense contracts.  Furthermore, solicitations for procurements by governmental purchasing agencies in Israel and other countries are governed by laws, regulations and procedures relating to procurement integrity, including avoiding conflicts of interest and corruption in the procurement process.
  In addition, antitrust laws and regulations in Israel and other countries often require governmental approvals for transactions that are considered to limit competition.  Such transactions may include cooperative agreements for specific programs or areas, as well as mergers and acquisitions.
  Proprietary Information
  We generally do not consider patent protection significant to our current operations and rely upon a combination of security devices, copyrights, trademarks, trade secret laws and contractual restrictions to protect our rights in our products.  Our policy is to require employees and consultants to execute confidentiality agreements upon the commencement of their relationships with us.  These measures may not be adequate to protect our technology from third-party infringement, and our competitors might independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to ours.  Additionally, our products may be sold in foreign countries that provide less protection for intellectual property rights than that provided under U.S. or Israeli laws.
  The Israeli Government usually retains certain rights in technologies and inventions resulting from our performance as a prime contractor or subcontractor under Israeli Government contracts and may generally disclose such information to third parties, including other defense contractors.  When the Israeli Government funds research and development, it may acquire rights to proprietary data and title to inventions; we may retain a non-exclusive, royalty-free license for such inventions.  However, if the Israeli Government purchases only the end product, we may retain the principal rights and the Government may use the data and take an irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free license.
  Manufacturing and Supply
  Our production plant is located in Beit She'an, Israel.  The plant is equipped to handle most of our manufacturing processes and testing requirements.  For several specific processes we utilize outsourced resources.  This structure allows us flexibility and versatility.
  We place great emphasis on quality control in our production processes.  Commencing with customer requirements and expectations, via raw material inspection through completion, specifications are repeatedly checked.  We maintain a quality assurance team that participates in every stage of the design and manufacturing of the products.  Our quality management system is certified by the Standards Institute of Israel, or SII, pursuant to ISO 9001:2008 for hardware design and production and ISO 90003:2004 for software design.  SII performs quality system audits twice a year and various customers perform audits four to six times a year. Our environmental management system is certified by SII to ISO 14001:2004.  Our quality management system is also certified according to AS-9100B, a quality management system for aerospace requirements.
  26
  According to the standard warranty incorporated in most of our sales contracts, we warrant that our products will be free from defects in design, materials or workmanship, and guarantee repair or replacement of defective parts typically for periods between one to two years following delivery of a product to a customer.  We also provide maintenance services to customers who sign maintenance contracts.
  Source and Availability of Raw Materials
  We acquire most of the components for the manufacturing of our products from a limited number of suppliers and subcontractors, most of whom are located in Israel and the United States.  Some of these suppliers are currently the sole source of one or more components upon which we are dependent.  Since many of our purchases require long lead-times, a delay in supply of an item can significantly delay the delivery of a product.  To date, we have not experienced any particular difficulty in obtaining timely deliveries of necessary components.  We depend on a limited number of suppliers of components for our products and if we are unable to obtain these components when needed, we would experience delays in manufacturing our products and our financial results could be adversely affected.
  C.
Organizational Structure
  In 2010, we had one active subsidiary, CACS, an 80%-owned subsidiary, which is based in China and is engaged in aircraft repair services.   On December 15, 2010, we entered into an agreement for the sale of our ownership interest in CACS to a Chinese company.  While this transaction was expected to be completed in 2011, it was subject to (i) the withdrawal of our local partner, Tianzhu Forest Development Co., or Tianzhu, from CACS, and (ii) the receipt of certain approvals from Chinese authorities.  While these actions are underway, the purchaser has materially breached its obligations under the agreement, and we are currently assessing our legal rights under the agreement of sale.  Nevertheless, we expect that Tianzhu will withdraw from CACS during 2011.  Following such withdrawal, CACS will become a 100% owned subsidiary of our company.  In consideration for the 20% interest in CACS, we will exchange our 80% interest in the land and building used by CACS and CACS will remain in its current facilities pursuant to a lease agreement with Tianzhu.
  D.
Property, Plants and Equipment
  We own a 30,000 square feet building in Beit She'an, Israel.  The building, which includes manufacturing facilities and warehouse space, is situated on land leased from the Israel Land Authority for a period of 49 years until 2034.  The plant has sufficient capacity to meet our current requirements.  If volume was to increase significantly, we believe that we will be able to increase the number of workers or shifts at the plant, or use more outsourced resources.
  Our executive offices and research and development facilities are located in a 17,200square feet office facility in Netanya, Israel.  The lease for this facility expires in January 2012.  The aggregate annual rent for our offices in Israel was approximately $310,000 in 2010.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS
  A.
Operating Results
  The following discussion of our results of operations should be read together with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes, which appear elsewhere in this annual report.  The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our current plans, estimates and beliefs and involve risks and uncertainties.  Our actual results may differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements.  Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this annual report.
  Overview
  We develop, manufacture and sell defense electronics including data recording and management systems (such as digital video and data recorders, ground debriefing stations, head-up display cameras), inertial navigation systems for air and land applications, avionics solutions (such as aircraft upgrades, avionics for UAVs, store management systems and interface computers) and radar systems for anti-terrorism/force protection systems (ground radars for applications such as active protection systems for armored fighting vehicles, perimeter surveillance and alike).  In addition, we continue to sell and support our commercial aviation electronic products and services, mainly through our Chinese subsidiary.
  General
  Our consolidated financial statements appearing in this annual report are prepared in U.S. dollars and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or U.S. GAAP.  All references in this annual report to "dollars" or "$" are to U.S. dollars and all references in this annual report to "NIS" are to New Israeli Shekels.  Transactions and balances originally denominated in dollars are presented at their original amounts.  Transactions and balances in other currencies are remeasured into dollars in accordance with the principles set forth in the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, 830.  The majority of our sales are made outside Israel and a substantial part of them are in dollars.  In addition, a substantial portion of our costs are incurred in dollars.  Since the dollar is the primary currency of the economic environment in which we operate, the dollar is our functional and reporting currency and, accordingly, monetary accounts maintained in currencies other than the dollar are remeasured using the foreign exchange rate at the balance sheet date.  Operational accounts and non monetary balance sheet accounts are measured and recorded at the exchange rate in effect at the date of the transaction.  All monetary balance sheet accounts have been remeasured using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date.  Statement of operations amounts have been remeasured using the average exchange rate for the period.  The financial statements of our foreign subsidiary, whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, have been translated into dollars. All balance sheet amounts have been translated using the exchange rates in effect at balance sheet date. Statement of operation amounts have been translated using the average exchange rate prevailing during the year. Such translation adjustments are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders' equity.
  Discussion of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimations
  Our critical accounting policies, including the assumptions and judgments underlying them, are disclosed in the notes to our consolidated financial statements.  These policies have been consistently applied in all material respects.  While the estimates and judgments associated with the application of these policies may be affected by different assumptions or conditions, we believe the estimates and judgments associated with the reported amounts are appropriate under the circumstances.  We believe the following accounting policies are the most critical in fully understanding and evaluating our financial condition and results of our operations under U.S.GAAP.
  Revenue Recognition.  Our revenues are mainly derived from sales of defense electronics (solid-state recorders, computers, inertial navigation systems, etc.) and their supporting ground systems (automated testers, data debriefing stations).  In addition, we lease automated test equipment and provide manufacturing, development and product support services.  Product revenue is recognized when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the fee is fixed or determinable, delivery of the product to the customer has occurred and the collection of the fee is probable.  If the product requires specific customer acceptance, revenue is deferred until customer acceptance occurs or the acceptance provisions lapse, unless we can objectively and reliably demonstrate that the criteria specified in the acceptance provisions are satisfied.
  28
  Revenues from long-term fixed price contracts are recognized by the percentage-of-completion method in accordance with the "input method."  We apply this method when the total of the costs and revenues of the contract can reasonably be estimated.  The percentage of completion is determined based on the ratio of actual costs incurred to total costs estimated to be incurred over the duration of the contract.  With regard to contracts for which a loss is anticipated, a provision is made for the entire amount of the estimated loss at the time such loss becomes evident. Estimated gross profit or loss from long-term contracts may change due to changes in estimates resulting from differences between actual performance and original forecasts.  Such changes in estimated gross profit or loss are recorded in results of operations when they are reasonably determined by management, on a cumulative catch-up basis.  Revenues under long-term fixed-price contracts that involve both development and production are recorded using the cost-to-cost method (development phase) and units-of-delivery method (production phase) as applicable to each phase of the contract, as the basis to measure progress toward completion.
  Revenues from services are recognized when the service is performed.  Revenues under operating leases of equipment are recognized ratably over the lease period.
  Revenues from certain arrangements may include multiple elements within a single contract.  Generally, our multiple element arrangements are accounted for as separate units of accounting when it is possible to determine objective and reliable evidence of fair value of the undelivered elements in order to separate the fees among the elements.  Revenues are recognized when the element is delivered and all other criteria for revenue recognition are met.
  Intangible Assets.  Costs of producing our test program setssoftware library, or TPS, which can be integrated with our commercial aviation test stations,, incurred subsequent to achieving technological feasibility, were capitalized, and are amortized by the greater of the amount computed using the: (i) ratio that current gross revenues from sales of the software to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues from sales of that software, or (ii) the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the product. We assess the recoverability of these intangible assets on a regular basis by determining whether the amortization of the asset over its remaining life can be recovered through undiscounted future operating cash flows from the specific software products sold. In the year ended December 31, 2010, we recorded an impairment charge of $45,000 with respect to certain TPSs that we believe will not be realizable.
  Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.We are required to assess the impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.  We assess the impairment of our assets based on a number of factors, including any significant changes in the manner of our use of the respective assets or the strategy of our overall business and significant negative industry or economic trends.  Upon determination that the carrying value of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable, based upon a comparison of expected undiscounted future cash flows to the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment charge is recorded in the amount of the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value.  For the year ended December 31, 2010, no impairment was required.
  Impairment of Goodwill.  We are required to assess the impairment of goodwill at least annually (or more frequently if impairment indicators arise.  FASB ASC 350 "Intangibles-Goodwill and other" prescribes a two-phase process for impairment testing of goodwill.  The first phase screens for impairment while the second phase (if necessary) measures impairment.  In the first phase of impairment testing, goodwill attributable to each reporting unit is tested for impairment by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying value.  In our case, we have only one reporting unit.  We determine its fair value according to our market capitalization and the goodwill was tested for impairment by comparing the fair market value with its carrying amount.  As of December 31, 2010, no impairment losses have been identified.  As a result, step two was not required.
  Share-Based Compensation.Effective January 1, 2006, we account for stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718  "Share-Based Payment," or ASC 718, applying the modified prospective method, and with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, "Share-Based Payment," or SAB 107.  In accordance with ASC 718 we measure the compensation cost associated with share-based payment transactions based on the fair value at the grant date of the options.  The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods, according to the straight-line method.
  29
  For employee option grants, the fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with weighted average assumptions relating to the dividend yield, expected volatility, risk free interest rate and expected life of the option by the employee, in accordance with ASC 718 and ASC 718-10.  Our assumptions with respect to these components will impact the compensation award costs and amounts expensed in each period and consequently the results of our operations.  For the year ended December 31, 2010, we incurred share-based compensation expense of $31,000.  As of December 31, 2010, we did not have any unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements under our stock option plans.
  Accounting for income taxes.  On January 1, 2007, we adopted FASB ASC 740-10 "Income Taxes," which contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions accounted for in accordance with ASC 740-10 The first step is to evaluate the tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that, on an evaluation of the technical merits, the tax position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement ASC 740-10. We provided a valuation allowance in respect to the deferred tax assets resulting from operating loss carryforwards and other temporary differences.  Our management currently believes that since our company has a history of losses, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax regarding the loss carryforwards and other temporary differences will not be realized in the foreseeable future.
  Derivatives and hedging:We are required to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges mustbe adjusted to fair value through income as stipulated in FASB ASC 815 "Derivatives and Hedging," or ASC 815.  If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives are either offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings.  The ineffective portion of a derivative's change in fair value is immediately recognized in earnings.  We use derivatives to hedge certain cash flow foreign currency exposures in order to further reduce our exposure to foreign currency risks.
  In 2009 and 2010, we entered into forward contracts in order to hedge certain expense transactions denominated in NIS.  Our forward contracts did not qualify as hedging instruments under ASC 815. Changes in the fair value of forward contracts are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations as financial income or expense and not against the Other Comprehensive Income.  As of December 31, 2010, the fair value of the outstanding forward contracts was $28,000, which was recorded in other receivables against financial income.

  Year Ended December 31, 2010 Compared with Year Ended December 31, 2009
  Revenues.  Our revenues increased by 49% to $27.5 million in 2010 from $18.4 million in 2009.  The increase is primarily due to the large scale integration projects that we are executing for our Latin American customers.   Based on our current backlog, we expect that our revenues in 2011 will continue to increase both from sales of our off-the-shelf products, integration projects and new products that were developed during the last two years.
  Cost of Revenues.  Cost of revenues increased by 65% to $20.1 million in 2010 from $12.2 million in 2009.  The increase is primarily due to the increase in our revenues.  In 2011, we expect that our cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues will remain similar to 2010, primarily due to the continuing costs associated with our large scale projects that will continue to account for a substantial portion of our revenues.
  Gross Profit.  Our gross profit increased by 19% to $7.4 million in 2010 from $6.2 million in 2009.  Our profit margin was approximately 27% in 2010 and 34% in 2009.  This increase in gross profit is attributable to our large integration projects that accounted for a significant part of our revenues in 2010, which projects generate lower gross margins than our typical product sales programs.
  Research and Development Expenses, Net.  Research and development expenses, net decreased by 27% to approximately $1.2 million in 2010 from $1.6 million in 2009.  The decrease is primarily due to the participation of the Office of the Chief Scientist of the Israeli Ministry of Industry and Trade in the development of our 'Sentinel' radar products.  We expect that our research and development expenses in 2011 will return to the higher level of expenditures of 2009 since we are continuing to invest in the research and development of new products, particularly our inertial navigation products and 'Sentinel' radar.
  Marketing and Selling Expenses.Marketing and selling expenses increased by 60% to approximately $2.6 million in 2010 from $1.6 million in 2009.  This increase is primarily due to increased sales commissions which grew to $1.2 million in 2010 compared to $0.2 million in 2009 as a result of the increase in revenues in the 2010 period.
  31
  General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased by 10% to approximately $1.7 million in 2010 from $1.9 million in 2009, primarily due to payments received from judgments relating to completed litigation.  We expect that in 2011 our general and administrative expenses will revert to the level of 2009.
  Financial Expenses, Net.  Our financial expenses, net, increased by 43% to $1.2 million in 2010 compared to $832,000 in 2009.  Our interest expense, net, was $252,000 in 2010 compared with $228,000 in 2009.  Our amortization expense on a convertible note and loans from shareholders in 2010 was $576,000 as compared to $517,000 of amortization expense in 2009.  Foreign currency exchange differences resulted in expenses of $107,000 in 2010 compared to expenses of $5,000 in 2009, primarily due to changes in the NIS/dollar exchange rate.
  Year Ended December 31, 2009 Compared with Year Ended December 31, 2008
  Revenues.  Our revenues increased by 3% to $18.4 million in 2009 from $17.9 million in 2008, primarily due to increased traditional and off-the-shelf product sales.
  Cost of Revenues.  Cost of revenues decreased by 11% to $12.2 million in 2009 from $13.7 million in 2008.  The decrease is primarily due to the increased percentage of our revenues attributable to off-the-shelf products, which generally have higher margins.
  Gross Profit.  Our gross profit increased by 48% to $6.2 million in 2009 from $4.2 million in 2008, primarily due to the increase in revenues.  Our profit margin was approximately 34% in 2009 and 24% in 2008.
  Research and Development Expenses.  Research and development expenses increased by 135% to approximately $1.6 million in 2009 from $686,000 in 2008.  The increase is primarily due to our investments in the development of our INS technology.
  Marketing and Selling Expenses.Marketing and selling expenses increased by 6% to approximately $1.6 million in 2009 from $1.5 million in 2008.
  General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased by 6% to approximately $1.9 million in 2009 from $1.8 million in 2008.
  Financial Expenses, Net.   Our financial expenses, net, increased by 13% to $832,000 in 2009 compared to $734,000 in 2008.  Our interest expense, net, was $228,000 in 2009 compared with $220,000 in 2008.  Our amortization expense on a convertible note and loans from shareholders in 2009 was $517,000 as compared to $473,000 of amortization expense in 2008.  Foreign currency exchange differences resulted in expenses of $5,000 in 2009 compared to income of $190,000 in 2008, primarily due to changes in the NIS/dollar exchange rate.
  Our Location in Israel
  We are incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel, and our principal executive offices and principal manufacture, research and development facilities are located in Israel.  See Item 3D "Key Information – Risk Factors – Risks Relating to Our Operations in Israel" for a description of governmental, economic, fiscal, monetary or political polices or factors that have materially affected or could materially affect our operations.
  Corporate Tax Rate
  The rate of the Israeli corporate tax is as follows: 2008 - 27%, 2009 - 26%, 2010 - 25%.  Tax at a reduced rate of 25% applies on capital gains arising after January 1, 2003, instead of the regular tax rate. In July 2009, the Israeli Parliament passed the Law for Economic Efficiency (Amended Legislation for Implementing the Economic Plan for 2009 and 2010), which prescribes, among other things, an additional gradual reduction in the rates of the Israeli corporate tax and real capital gains tax starting in 2011 to the following tax rates: 2011 - 24%, 2012 - 23%, 2013 - 22%, 2014 - 21%, 2015 - 20%, 2016 and thereafter - 18%.
  32
  In December 2010, the Israeli Parliament, passed the Law for Economic Efficiency for 2011 and 2012 (Amended Legislation), 2011, which prescribes, among other things, amendments to the Investment Law, effective as of January 1, 2011.  According to the amendment, the benefit tracks under the Investment Law were modified and a uniform tax rate will apply to all of the income of an Approved or Privileged Enterprise.  Companies may elect to irrevocably implement the amendment (while waiving benefits provided under the Investment Law as currently in effect) and subsequently would be subject to the amended tax rates that are: 2011 and 2012 - 15%, 2013 and 2014 - 12.5% and in 2015 and thereafter - 12%. We are currently examining the possible effect of the amendment on our financial statements, if at all, and has not yet decided whether to apply the amendment.
  As of December 31, 2010, our net operating loss carry forward for Israeli tax purposes was approximately $62.0 million including a capital loss carry forward of  approximately $3.7 million.
  Trade Relations
  Israel is a member of the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund, the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, and the International Finance Corporation.  Israel is a member of the World Trade Organization and is a signatory to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade.  In addition, Israel has been granted preferences under the Generalized System of Preferences from the United States, Australia, Canada and Japan.  These preferences allow Israel to export the products covered by such programs either duty-free or at reduced tariffs.  In June 2010, Israel joined the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, or the OECD, an international organization whose members are governments of mostly developed economies.  The OECD's main goal is to promote policies that will improve the economic and social well-being of people around the world.
  Israel and the European Union Community, known as the "European Union," concluded a Free Trade Agreement in July 1975 that confers some advantages with respect to Israeli exports to most European countries and obligates Israel to lower its tariffs with respect to imports from these countries over a number of years.  In 1985, Israel and the United States entered into an agreement to establish a Free Trade Area.  The Free Trade Area has eliminated all tariff and some non-tariff barriers on most trade between the two countries.  On January 1, 1993, an agreement between Israel and the European Free Trade Association, known as the "EFTA," established a free-trade zone between Israel and the EFTA nations.  In November 1995, Israel entered into a new agreement with the European Union, which includes a redefinition of rules of origin and other improvements, such as allowing Israel to become a member of the Research and Technology programs of the European Union.  In recent years, Israel has established commercial and trade relations with a number of other nations, including Russia, China, India, Turkey and other nations in Eastern Europe and the Asia-Pacific region.
  Impact of Currency Fluctuation and of Inflation
  A significant portion of the cost of our Israeli operations, primarily personnel and facility-related, is incurred in NIS.  Therefore, our NIS related costs, as expressed in U.S. dollars, are influenced by the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the NIS.  In addition, if the rate of inflation in Israel will exceed the rate of devaluation of the NIS in relation to the U.S. dollar, or if the timing of such devaluations were to lag considerably behind inflation, our cost as expressed in U.S. dollars may increase.  NIS linked balance sheet items, may also create foreign exchange gains or losses, depending upon the relative dollar values of the NIS at the beginning and end of the reporting period, affecting our net income and earnings per share.  Although we may use hedging techniques, we may not be able to eliminate the effects of currency fluctuations.  Therefore, exchange rate fluctuations could have a material adverse impact on our operating results and share price. The caption "Financial expenses, net" in our consolidated financial statements includes the impact of these factors as well as traditional interest income or expense.  See Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements.
  33
  The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, (i) depreciation or appreciation of the NIS against the most important currency for our business, the U.S. dollar, until December 31 each year and the year before, and (ii) inflation as reflected in changes in the Israeli consumer price index.

 Because exchange rates between the NIS and the dollar fluctuate continuously, exchange rate fluctuations, particularly larger periodic devaluations, may have an impact on our profitability and period-to-period comparisons of our results.  We cannot assure you that in the future our results of operations may not be materially adversely affected by currency fluctuations.
  Recently Issued Accounting Standards
  In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, 2009-13, "Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements-A Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force."  The update provides application guidance on whether multiple deliverables exist, how the deliverables should be separated and how the consideration should be allocated to one or more units of accounting.  The update establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable.  The selling price used for each deliverable will be based on vendor-specific objective evidence, if available, third-party evidence if vendor-specific objective evidence is not available, or estimated selling price if neither vendor-specific nor third-party evidence is available.
  We may elect to adopt the update prospectively to new or materially modified arrangements beginning on the adoption date, or retrospectively, for all periods presented.  We apply the guidance prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified after January 1, 2011.  We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of the new guidance on our financial statements, but do not expect it to have a material effect on our financial statements.
  B.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
  We have historically met our financial requirements primarily through cash generated by operations, funds generated by our public offering in 1985, private placements of our ordinary shares and debt securities, loans from our principal shareholders, short-term loans and credit facilities from banks, most recently Bank Leumi Le-Israel B.M. and the Israeli branch of State Bank of India, or the Banks, research and development grants from the Government of Israel and the Israel-U.S. Binational Industrial Research and Development Foundation, and investment grants for approved enterprise programs and marketing grants from the Government of Israel.
  As of December 31, 2010, we owed $2.2 million under a revolving annual line of credit and $4.4 million under another revolving line of credit to secure borrowings from our bank and other creditors.  In addition, the Banks provided $3.2 million of guarantees on our behalf mainly to our customers and suppliers in the ordinary course of business.  The guarantees are secured by a first priorityfloating charge on all of our assets and by a fixed charge on goodwill (intangible assets), unpaid share capital and insurance rights (rights to proceeds on insured assets in the event of loss).  Our agreements with the Banks prohibit us from: (i) selling or otherwise transferring any assets except in the ordinary course of business, (ii) placing a lien on our assets without the Banks' consent, or (iii) declaring dividends to our shareholders.
  Our working capital at December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2010, was $4.8 million and $7.6 million, respectively.  Cash and cash equivalents amounted to $ 987,000 at December 31, 2009 compared to $850,000 at December 31, 2010.  Short-term and long-term bank deposits and restricted bank deposits amounted to $0.8 million at December 31, 2009 compared to $2.2 million at December 31, 2010.
  In July 2008, we entered into a $1.5 million loan agreement with a company controlled by Mr. Yeung in order to facilitate further development of our INS technology.  The loan was drawn down in July 2008 ($1.0 million) and in December 2008 ($0.5 million).  The loan bears interest of 3% + LIBOR payable at the beginning of every quarter.  Principal payments equal to $90,000 were payable in six equal installments commencing July 1, 2009 and the remaining principal amount will be payable in eight equal installments, commencing April 1, 2011. Subject to the approval of the Israeli Ministry of Defense, we will grant the lender a non-exclusive license to use the technology developed for non-military/commercial purposes.  The non-exclusive license will automatically convert into an exclusive license should we default on any of our obligations under the loan agreement.  We have also agreed in the future, subject to the approval of several governmental authorities including the Israeli Ministry of Defense, to establish a joint venture with Mr. Yeung or an affiliated entity that will be engaged in the production and marketing of such non-military/ commercial products and technology.
  34
  In October 2010, the maturity date of a $3 million convertible note that we issued to Mr. Yeung, our controlling shareholder, in October 2007 was extended to October 2012.  In addition, the expiration date of warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,578,947 ordinary shares granted to Mr. Yueng at such time was extended to October 2014.  The convertible note bears interest at a rate of six-month LIBOR plus 3.5% (which was 3.96% at December 31, 2010), and is convertible into ordinary shares at a conversion price of $2.09 per share.  The modification was accounted for as a modification of debt in accordance with ASC 470-50.  As result, we recorded a $451,000 discount on the convertible note.  The discount will be amortized over the term of the extended term of the convertible note using the interest method.  As of December 31, 2010, the net discount is $402,000.  See Item 7A. “Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions - Related Party Transactions.”
  We had capital expenditures of $603,000 in the year ended December 31, 2010, primarily for machinery and equipment.  We currently do not have any significant capital spending or purchase commitments.

  Net cash used in operating activities was $1.9 million in 2010. This was primarily due to an increase in trade receivables of $4.8 million, due to increase in revenues in 2010, particularly in the fourth quarter and an increase in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings, net of $1.7 million.  This was offset by an increase in trade payables of $0.8 million and in other accounts payable and accrued expenses of $2.2 million, depreciation and amortization of $1.0 million and amortization expense on a convertible note and loans of $576,000. Net cash provided by operating activities was $119,000 in 2009.  This was primarily due to a decrease in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings, net of $651,000, depreciation and amortization of $1.2 million and amortization expense on a convertible note and loans of $517,000.  This was offset by an increase in trade receivables of $1.2 million and an increase in inventories of $1.3 million. Net cash used in operating activities was $316,000 in 2008.  This was primarily due to increase in inventories of $2.2 million due to the backlog of customer orders for delivery in 2009, an increase in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings, net of $1.6 million and an increase in other accounts receivable and prepaid expenses of $250,000.  This was offset by a decrease in trade receivables of $1.5 million and an increase in trade payables of $950,000.
  Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $2.0 million in 2010, primarily due to change in restricted cash of $1.4 million and our investment of $603,000 in property, plant and equipment. Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $330,000 in 2009, primarily due to our investment of $261,000 in property, plant and equipment and payment of $93,000 in conjunction with the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of Vectop Limited, or Vectop, in 2005.  Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $927,000 in 2008, primarily due to our investment of $498,000 in property, plant and equipment and $235,000 paid in conjunction with the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of Vectop.
  35
  Net cash provided by financing activities was $3.7 million in 2010, reflecting net proceeds of $3.7 million of short term bank credit. Net cash provided by financing activities was $235,000 in 2009, reflecting net repayment to us of $173,000 of employee long-term loans and $203,000 of grants received from the Office of the Chief Scientist of the Israeli Ministry of Industry and Trade, which was offset by aggregate repayments of $132,000 of long-term loans to a bank.  Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.3 million in 2008, reflecting net proceeds of $1.5 million of shareholder loans, which was offset by aggregate repayments of $490,000 of long-term loans to a bank and short-term bank credit.
  As a result of the foregoing, at December 31, 2010, we had working capital of $7.6 million and cash and cash equivalents of $850,000 as compared to working capital of $4.8 million and cash and cash equivalents of $987,000 at December 31, 2009.
  We expect to fund our short-term liquidity needs, including our obligations under our credit facilities, other contractual agreements and any other working capital requirements, from our cash and cash equivalents, operating cash flow and our credit facilities.  We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents, credit facilities and our expected cash flow from operations in 2011 will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements in 2011.
  As of March 30 2011, warrants to purchase 1,578,947 of our ordinary shares were outstanding.  These warrants were issued on December 10, 2007 in connection with the issuance of a $3 million convertible note to our controlling shareholder, at an exercise price of $ 2.38 per share.  The warrant is exercisable until October 15, 2014.  To the extent any warrants are exercised, the proceeds will be added to our working capital.
  C.
Research and Development, Patents and Licenses
  Research and Development
  Our research and development investments focus on improvements to our existing products and the development of complementary products that would provide continued support for our current customers and would improve our capability to market our products to new customers.
  In 2010, 2009 and 2008 we incurred $1.2 million, $1.6 million and $686,000 respectively of research and development expenses, net.  The vast majority of these expenses is attributable to our Inertial Navigation products and 'Sentinel' radar.  In 2011, we will continue to invest in the research and development of new products.  As of December 31, 2010, we employed 46 engineers in research and development who spend most of their time on research and development activities generated through customer orders and part of their time on internal research and development activities.
  The Office of the Chief Scientist of the Israeli Ministry of Industry and Trade, or the OCS, encourages research and development by providing grants to Israeli companies.  The terms of such grants prohibit the manufacture of the developed products outside Israel and the transfer of technologies developed using the grants to any person without the prior written consent of the OCS.  During 2010 and 2009, we developed a new radar sensor for APS, partly financed by the OCS.  In 2010 and 2009, we received royalty bearing grants of $355,000 and $203,000, respectively, from the OCS. We did not receive any OCS grants in 2008.
  Pursuant to applicable Israeli law, we are currently required to pay royalties at the rate of 3-5% of sales of products developed with certain grants received from the OCS, up to 100% of the amount of such grants, linked to the U.S. dollar.  As of December 31, 2010, our total obligation for royalty payments, net of royalties paid or accrued is approximately $810,000.
  36
  We are committed to pay royalties to the Israel - United States Binational Industrial Research and Development Foundation at the rate of 5% of the sales proceeds up to 150% of the research and development expenses financed by the foundation.  Our total obligation for royalties, net of royalties paid or accrued, totaled approximately $2.1 million as of December 31, 2010.
  D.
Trend Information
  In 2010, our revenues increased by 49% from 2009.  We expect that in 2011 our revenues will continue to increase.   However, our revenues are subject to government budgets and we cannot assure you that the economic climate will not result in the cancellation or suspension of certain projects or programs.
  Our future revenues will, in great measure, be dependent upon the success of our sales and marketing strategy.  We are currently focusing our sales efforts on:
  ·
Avionics solutions (including for UAVs);
  ·
Digital Video & Data Recorders and GDS;
  ·
INS; and
  ·
Radar systems for anti-terrorism/force protection.
  We cannot provide any assurances that we will be successful in meeting our targets in the future.  As a result of the unpredictable business environment in which we operate, we are unable to provide any specific guidance as to sales and profitability trends.  If we are unsuccessful in our sales efforts, it is unlikely that we will be able to achieve profitability in the future and we will require additional capital.
  E.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
  We are not a party to any material off-balance sheet arrangements.  In addition, we have no unconsolidated special purpose financing or partnership entities that are likely to create material contingent obligations.
  F.
Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations

 In addition, we have long-term liabilities for severance pay for certain employees that is calculated pursuant to Israeli law generally based on the most recent salary of the employees multiplied by the number of years of employment, as of the balance sheet date.  Under Israeli law, employees are entitled to one month's salary for each year of employment or a portion thereof upon termination of employment in certain circumstances, including the retirement or death of an employee or the termination of employment of an employee without due cause.  As of December 31, 2010 our severance pay liability was $499,000.

Board Practices
  Introduction
  According to the Israeli Companies Law and our articles of association, the management of our business is vested in our board of directors.  The board of directors may exercise all powers and may take all actions that are not specifically granted to our shareholders.  Our executive officers are responsible for our day-to-day management.  The executive officers have individual responsibilities established by our chief executive officer and board of directors.  Executive officers are appointed by and serve at the discretion of the board of directors, subject to any applicable agreements.
  Election of Directors
  Our articles of association provide for a board of directors consisting of no less than two and no more than 11 members or such other number as may be determined from time to time at a general meeting of shareholders.  All the directors in the company must be qualified to serve as a director and the time required for such position, taking into consideration the type and size of the company and the scope and complexity of its operation.  The directors must provide the electing general meeting with a detailed declaration as to the compliance with the above-listed requirements.  Our board of directors is currently composed of seven directors.
  Pursuant to our articles of association, the board of directors is divided into three classes (other than outside directors).  Generally, at each annual meeting of shareholders one class of directors (other than outside directors) is elected for a term of three years by a vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power represented and voting at such meeting.  All the members of our board of directors (except the outside directors as detailed below) may be reelected upon completion of their term of office.  The majority of directors may appoint additional directors to fill any vacancies in the board of directors until the next general meeting; provided, however that the total number of directors will not exceed the maximum number, if any, fixed by or in accordance with our articles of association, and that if the total number of directors decreases below six, the board of directors may call a general meeting of shareholders, so that following such meeting there will be at least six directors in office.
  Messrs. Chan and Gruber are Class A directors and will hold office until the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders to be held in 2012.  Messrs. Bodinger and Letchinger are Class B directors and will hold office until the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders to be held in 2013.  Mr. Berg is a Class C director and will hold office until the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders to be held in 2011.  Ms. Mor and Mr. Akavia serve as our outside directors and each will hold office for a second three year term until October 2012.
  40
  We do not follow the requirements of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules with regard to the nomination process of directors and instead follow Israeli law and practice.  See below in this Item 6C. "Directors, Senior Management and Employees - Board Practices - NASDAQ Marketplace Rules and Home Country Practices."
  Outside and Independent Directors
  Outside Directors.  Under the Israeli Companies Law, companies incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel whose shares have been offered to the public are required to appoint at least two outside directors.  The Israeli Companies Law provides that a person may not be appointed as an outside director if the person, or the person's relative, partner, employer or an entity under that person's control, has or had during the two years preceding the date of appointment any affiliation with the company, or any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the company.  The term "relative" means a spouse, sibling, parent, grandparent, child or child of spouse or spouse of any of the above.  The term "affiliation" includes an employment relationship, a business or professional relationship maintained on a regular basis, control and service as an office holder, as such term is defined below, excluding service as an outside director of a company that is offering its shares to the public for the first time.
  In addition, no person may serve as an outside director if the person's position or other activities create, or may create a conflict of interest with the person's responsibilities as director or may otherwise interfere with the person's ability to serve as director.  If, at the time an outside director is appointed, all current members of the board of directors are of the same gender, then that outside director must be of the other gender.  A director of one company may not be appointed as an outside director of another company if a director of the other company is acting as an outside director of the first company at such time.
  At least one of the elected outside directors must have "accounting and financial expertise" and any other outside director must have "accounting and financial expertise" or "professional qualification," as such terms are defined by regulations promulgated under the Israeli Companies Law.
  Outside directors are elected at our annual general meeting of shareholders.  The shareholders voting in favor of their election must include at least one-third of the shares of the non-controlling shareholders of the company who voted on the matter.  This minority approval requirement need not be met if the total shareholdings of those non-controlling shareholders who vote against their election represent 1% or less of all of the voting rights in the company.  In general, the initial term of an outside director is three years and he or she may be reelected to on additional term of three year.  Outside directors can be removed from office only by the same special percentage of shareholders as can elect them, or by a court, and then only if the outside directors cease to meet the statutory qualifications with respect to their appointment or if they violate their duty of loyalty to the company.  If the vacancy of an outside director position causes the company to have fewer than two outside directors, the board of directors is required under the Companies Law to call a special general meeting of the company's shareholders as soon as possible to appoint a new outside director.
  Any committee of the board of directors must include at least one outside director and the audit committee must include all of the outside directors.  An outside director is entitled to compensation as provided in regulations promulgated under the Israeli Companies Law and is otherwise prohibited from receiving any other compensation, directly or indirectly, in connection with such service.  All outside directors shall receive the same annual compensation from the company; however, if the company has declared an outside director as an "expert outside director," as such term is defined in regulations promulgated under the Israeli Companies Law; the company can pay him or her a higher remuneration in comparison to the other outside directors.  Moreover, if an outside director also serves as an independent director under NASDAQ Market Rules and therefore has additional liability, he or she is entitled to receive the highest remuneration permitted under such regulations.
  41
  Independent Directors.  In general, NASDAQ Marketplace Rules require that the board of directors of a NASDAQ-listed company have a majority of independent directors and its audit committee must have at least three members and be comprised only of independent directors, each of whom satisfies the respective "independence" requirements of NASDAQ and the Securities and Exchange Commission.  However, foreign private issuers, such as our company, may follow certain home country corporate governance practices instead of certain requirements of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules.  We do not follow the requirement of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules to maintain a majority of independent directors on our board and instead follow Israeli law and practice (see Item 16G. "Corporate Governance").  However, in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and NASDAQ, we have the mandated three independent directors, as defined by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and NASDAQ Marketplace, on our audit committee.
  Pursuant to a recent amendment to the Israeli Companies Law, an Israeli company whose shares are publicly traded may elect to adopt a provision in its articles of association pursuant to which a specified part of its board of directors will constitute individuals complying with certain independence criteria prescribed by the Israeli Companies Law.  Pursuant to Israeli regulations adopted in January 2011, directors who comply with the independence requirements of NASDAQ and the Securities and Exchange Commission are deemed to comply with the independence requirements of the Israeli Companies Law.  We have not included such a provision in our articles of association.
  Our board of directors has determined that Ms. Mor and Mr. Akavia both qualify as independent directors under the Securities and Exchange Commission and NASDAQ requirements and as outside directors under the Israeli Companies Law requirements.  Our board of directors has further determined that Mr. Gruber qualifies as an independent director under the Securities and Exchange Commission and NASDAQ requirements.
  We do not follow the requirements of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules with regard to regularly scheduled meetings of independent directors.  Under Israeli law outside directors are not required to hold executive sessions.  See below in this Item 6C. "Directors, Senior Management and Employees - Board Practices - NASDAQ Marketplace Rules and Home Country Practices."
  Committees of the Board of Directors
  Audit Committee.   Under the Israeli Companies Law, the board of directors of any public company must establish an audit committee.  The audit committee must be comprised of at least three directors including all of the outside directors, but excluding the chairman of the board of directors; controlling shareholder or a relative of a controlling shareholder; and any director employed by the company or who provides services to the company on a regular basis.
  In addition, the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules require us to establish an audit committee comprised of at least three members, all of whom must be independent directors, each of whom is financially literate and satisfies the respective "independence" requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission and NASDAQ and one of whom has accounting or related financial management expertise at senior levels within a company.
  Our audit committee assists our board of directors in overseeing the accounting and financial reporting processes of our company and audits of our financial statements, including the integrity of our financial statements, compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, our independent public accountants' qualifications and independence, the performance of our internal audit function and finding any defects in the business management of our company for which purpose the audit committee may consult with our independent auditors and internal auditor, proposing to the board of directors ways to correct such defects, and such other duties as may be directed by our board of directors.  Our audit committee also has the responsibility of approving related-party transactions as required by Israeli law.  Under Israeli law, an audit committee may not approve an action or a transaction with a controlling shareholder, or with an office holder, unless at the time of approval two outside directors are serving as members of the audit committee and at least one of the outside directors was present at the meeting in which an approval was granted.
  42
  The current members of our audit committee are Ms. Nurit Mor and Messrs Eli Akavia and Ben Zion Gruber, each of whom satisfies the "independence" requirements of both the Securities and Exchange Commission and NASDAQ.  We also comply with Israeli law requirements for audit committee members.  The audit committee meets at least once each quarter.
  Compensation Committee.  Our board of directors established a compensation committee composed of Ms. Nurit Mor and Mr. Adrian Berg.  The compensation committee is authorized to determine all compensations issues, including the administration of our option plans, subject to general guidelines determined by our board of directors from time to time.  The compensation committee also makes recommendations to our board of directors in connection with the terms of employment of our chief executive officer and president.
  Internal Audit
  The Israeli Companies Law also requires the board of directors of a public company to appoint an internal auditor nominated by the audit committee.  An internal audit must satisfy the Israeli Companies Law's independence requirements. The role of the internal auditor is to examine, among other things, the compliance of the company's conduct with applicable law and orderly business practice.  Under the Companies Law, the Internal Auditor may not be an interested party or an office holder, or a relative of any of the foregoing, nor may the internal auditor be the company's independent accountant or its representative.  Our internal auditor complies with the requirements of the Israeli Companies Law.
  Directors' Service Contracts
  We do not have any service contracts with our directors.  There are no arrangements or understandings between us and any of our subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any of our directors, on the other hand, providing for benefits upon termination of their employment or service as directors of our company or any of our subsidiaries.
  Approval of Related Party Transactions Under Israeli Law
  Fiduciary Duties of Office Holders
  The Israeli Companies Law codifies the fiduciary duties that "office holders," including directors and executive officers, owe to a company. An "office holder" is defined in the Israeli Companies Law as a director, general manager, chief business manager, deputy general manager, vice general manager, other manager directly subordinate to the general manager or any other person assuming the responsibilities of any of the foregoing positions without regard to such person's title. An office holder's fiduciary duties consist of a duty of care and a duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires an office holder to act at a level of care that a reasonable office holder in the same position would employ under the same circumstances. This includes the duty to utilize reasonable means to obtain (i) information regarding the appropriateness of a given action brought for his approval or performed by him by virtue of his position and (ii) all other information of importance pertaining to the foregoing actions. The duty of loyalty includes (i) avoiding any conflict of interest between the office holder's position in the company and any other position he holds or his personal affairs, (ii) avoiding any competition with the company's business, (iii) avoiding exploiting any business opportunity of the company in order to receive personal gain for the office holder or others, and (iv) disclosing to the company any information or documents relating to the company's affairs that the office holder has received due to his position as an office holder.
  Disclosure of Personal Interests of an Office Holder
  The Israeli Companies Law requires that an office holder promptly, and no later than the first board meeting at which such transaction is considered, disclose any personal interest that he or she may have and all related material information known to him or her and any documents in their position, in connection with any existing or proposed transaction by us. In addition, if the transaction is an extraordinary transaction, that is, a transaction other than in the ordinary course of business, other than on market terms, or likely to have a material impact on the company's profitability, assets or liabilities, the office holder must also disclose any personal interest held by the office holder's spouse, siblings, parents, grandparents, descendants, spouse's descendants and the spouses of any of the foregoing, or by any corporation in which the office holder or a relative is a 5% or greater shareholder, director or general manager or in which he or she has the right to appoint at least one director or the general manager.
  43
  Approval of Transactions with Office Holders
  Under the Israeli Companies Law, all arrangements as to compensation of office holders who are not directors require approval by the board of directors, and exculpation, insurance and indemnification of, or an undertaking to, indemnify an office holder who is not a director requires both board of directors and audit committee approval. The compensation of office holders who are directors must be approved by our audit committee, board of directors and shareholders.
  Some transactions, actions and arrangements involving an office holder (or a third party in which an office holder has an interest) must be approved by the board of directors or as otherwise provided for in a company's articles of association, however, a transaction that is adverse to the company's interest may not be approved. In some cases, such a transaction must be approved by the audit committee and by the board of directors itself, and under certain circumstances shareholder approval may be required. A director who has a personal interest in a transaction that is considered at a meeting of the board of directors or the audit committee may not be present during the board of directors or audit committee discussions and may not vote on the transaction, unless the transaction is not an extraordinary transaction or the majority of the members of the board or the audit committee have a personal interest, as the case may be. In the event the majority of the members of the board of directors or the audit committee have a personal interest, then the approval of the general meeting of shareholders is also required.
  Disclosure of Personal Interests of a Controlling Shareholder; Approval of Transactions with Controlling Shareholders
  The disclosure requirements which apply to an office holder also apply to a controlling shareholder with respect to his or her personal interest in any existing or proposed transaction by us.  The Israeli Companies Law provides that an extraordinary transaction with a controlling shareholder or an extraordinary transaction with another person in whom the controlling shareholder has a personal interest or a transaction with a controlling shareholder or his relative regarding terms of service and employment, must be approved by the audit committee, the board of directors and shareholders. The shareholder approval for such a transaction must include at least one-third of the shareholders who have no personal interest in the transaction who voted on the matter (not including abstentions). The transaction can be approved by shareholders without this one-third approval if the total shareholdings of those shareholders who have no personal interest and voted against the transaction do not represent more than one percent of the voting rights in the company.
  Under the Companies Regulations (Relief from Related Party Transactions), 5760-2000, promulgated under the Israeli Companies Law, as amended, certain extraordinary transactions between a public company and its controlling shareholder(s) do not require shareholder approval.  In addition, under such regulations, directors' compensation and employment arrangements in a public company do not require the approval of the shareholders if both the audit committee and the board of directors agree that such arrangements are solely for the benefit of the company. Also, employment and compensation arrangements for an office holder that is a controlling shareholder of a public company do not require shareholder approval if certain criteria are met. The foregoing exemptions from shareholder approval will not apply if one or more shareholders holding at least 1% of the issued and outstanding share capital of the company or of the company's voting rights, objects to the use of these exemptions provided that such objection is submitted to the company in writing not later than fourteen days from the date of the filing of a report regarding the adoption of such resolution by the company pursuant to the requirements of the Israeli Securities Law. If such objection is duly and timely submitted, then the transaction or compensation arrangement of the directors will require shareholders' approval as detailed above.
  In addition, a private placement of securities that will (i) cause a person to become a controlling shareholder or (ii) increase the relative holdings of a shareholder that holds 5% or more of the company's outstanding share capital, or (iii) will cause any person to become, as a result of the issuance, a holder of more than 5% of the company's outstanding share capital in a private placement in which 20% or more of the company's outstanding share capital prior to the placement are offered, the payment for which (in whole or in part) is not in cash or not under market terms, requires approval by the board of directors and the shareholders of the company.
  44
  The Israeli Companies Law provides that an acquisition of shares in a public company must be made by means of a tender offer if as a result of the acquisition the purchaser would become a 25% or greater shareholder of the company. This rule does not apply if there is already another 25% or greater shareholder of the company. Similarly, the Israeli Companies Law provides that an acquisition of shares in a public company must be made by means of a tender offer if as a result of the acquisition the purchaser would hold greater than a 45% interest in the company, unless there is another shareholder holding more than a 45% interest in the company. These requirements do not apply if, in general, the acquisition was made in a private placement that received shareholder approval, (i) was from a 25% or greater shareholder of the company which resulted in the acquirer becoming a 25% or greater shareholder of the company, if there is not already a 25% or greater shareholder of the company, or (ii) was from a shareholder holding a 45% interest in the company which resulted in the acquirer becoming a holder of a 45% interest in the company if there is not already a 45% or greater shareholder of the company.
  If, as a result of an acquisition of shares, the acquirer will hold more than 90% of a public company's outstanding shares or a class of shares, the acquisition must be made by means of a tender offer for all of the outstanding shares or a class of shares. If less than 5% of the outstanding shares are not tendered in the tender offer, all the shares that the acquirer offered to purchase will be transferred to the acquirer. The Israeli Companies Law provides for appraisal rights if any shareholder files a request in court within three months following the consummation of a full tender offer. If more than 5% of the outstanding shares are not tendered in the tender offer, then the acquirer may not acquire shares in the tender offer that will cause his shareholding to exceed 90% of the outstanding shares.
  Exculpation, Indemnification and Insurance of Directors and Officers
  Exculpation of Office Holders
  The Israeli Companies Law provides that an Israeli company cannot exculpate an office holder from liability with respect to a breach of his or her duty of loyalty.  If permitted by its articles of association, a company may exculpate in advance an office holder from his or her liability to the company, in whole or in part, with respect to a breach of his or her duty of care.  However, a company may not exculpate in advance a director from his or her liability to the company with respect to a breach of his duty of care in the event of distributions.
  Insurance of Office Holders
  The Israeli Companies Law provides that a company may, if permitted by its articles of association, enter into a contract to insure office holders in respect of liabilities incurred by the office holder with a respect to an act performed in his or her capacity as an office holder, as a result of:
  ·
a breach of the office holder's duty of care to the company or to another person;
  ·
a breach of the office holder's duty of loyalty to the company, provided that the office holder acted in good faith and had reasonable cause to assume that his or her act would not prejudice the company's interests; or
  ·
a financial liability imposed upon the office holder in favor of another person.
  45
  Indemnification of Office Holders
  The Israeli Companies Law provides that a company may, if permitted by its articles of association, indemnify an office holder for acts or omissions performed by the office holder in such capacity for:
  ·
a monetary liability imposed on the office holder in favor of another person by any judgment, including a settlement or an arbitrator's award approved by a court;
  ·
reasonable litigation expenses, including attorney's fees, actually incurred by the office holder as a result of an investigation or proceeding instituted against him or her by a competent authority, provided that such investigation or proceeding concluded without the filing of an indictment against the office holder or the imposition of any monetary liability in lieu of criminal proceedings, or concluded without the filing of an indictment against the office holder and a monetary liability was imposed on the officer holder in lieu of criminal proceedings with respect to a criminal offense that does not require proof of criminal intent; and
  ·
reasonable litigation expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred by the office holder or which were imposed on him or her by a court, in an action instituted by the company or on the company's behalf or by another person, against the office holder, or in a criminal charge from which he was acquitted, or in a criminal proceeding in which the office holder was convicted of a criminal offense which does not require proof of criminal intent.
  In accordance with the Israeli Companies Law, a company's articles of association may permit the company to:
  ·
prospectively undertake to indemnify an office holder, except that with respect to a monetary liability imposed on the office holder by any judgment, settlement or court-approved arbitration award, the undertaking must be limited to types of events which the company's board of directors deems foreseeable considering the company's actual operations at the time of the undertaking, and to an amount or standard that the board of directors has determined as reasonable under the circumstances.
  ·
retroactively indemnify an office holder of the company.
  Limitations on Exculpation, Insurance and Indemnification
  The Israeli Companies Law provides that neither a provision of the articles of association permitting the company to enter into a contract to insure the liability of an office holder, nor a provision in the articles of association or a resolution of the board of directors permitting the indemnification of an office holder, nor a provision in the articles of association exculpating an office holder from duty to the company shall be valid, where such insurance, indemnification or exculpation relates to any of the following:
  ·
a breach by the office holder of his duty of loyalty unless, with respect to insurance coverage or indemnification, the office holder acted in good faith and had a reasonable basis to believe that the act would not prejudice the company;
  ·
a breach by the office holder of his duty of care if such breach was committed intentionally or recklessly, unless the breach was committed only negligently.
  ·
any act or omission done with the intent to unlawfully yield a personal benefit; or
  ·
any fine or forfeiture imposed on the office holder.
  46
  Pursuant to the Israeli Companies Law, exculpation of, procurement of insurance coverage for, and an undertaking to indemnify or indemnification of, our office holders must be approved by our audit committee and our board of directors and, if the office holder is a director, also by our shareholders.
  Our Articles of Association allow us to insure, indemnify and exempt our office holders to the fullest extent permitted by law, subject to the provisions of the Israeli Companies Law.  We currently maintain a directors and officers liability insurance policy with per claim and aggregate coverage limit of $7.5 million.
  Recent Amendment to the Israeli Companies Law
  In March 2011, the Israeli Parliament adopted Amendment No. 16 to the Israeli Companies Law, or Amendment No. 16, which implements a comprehensive reform in corporate governance in Israel.  Most of the provisions of Amendment No. 16 will become effective on May 14, 2011 and the remainder will become effective on September 15, 2011. A summary of the principal changes introduced by Amendment No. 16 is set forth below:
  ·
A higher shareholder approval threshold was adopted to permit a chief executive officer to also serve as chairman of the board and vice versa, and a prohibition was adopted on the chairman's ability to serve the company in any capacity other than as the chief executive officer;
  ·
The majority of the members of the audit committee is now required to be "independent" (as such term is defined under the Israeli Companies Law); the chairman of the audit committee is required to be an outside director, and the following are disqualified from serving as members of the audit committee: the chairman, any director employed by the company or by its controlling shareholder or by an entity controlled by the controlling shareholder, a director who regularly provides services to the company or to its controlling shareholder or to an entity controlled by the controlling shareholder, and any director who derives most of its income from the controlling shareholder;
  ·
The functions to be performed by the audit committee were expanded to include, among others the following: determination whether certain related party actions and transactions are "material" or "extraordinary" in connection with their approval procedures, to assess the scope of work and compensation of the company's independent accountant, to assess the company's internal audit system and the performance of its internal auditor and to set whistle blower procedures (including protections afforded to whistle blowers);
  ·
The threshold to elect outside directors was increased, such that the election of outside directors now requires a majority vote at a shareholders' meeting, provided that either: at least a majority (previously, one-third) of the shares of non-controlling shareholders voted at the meeting on the matter vote in favor of the election of the outsider director, or the total number of shares of non-controlling shareholders voted against the election of the outside director does not exceed 2% (previously, 1%) of the voting rights in the company;
  ·
The independence requirements of outside directors were enhanced such that an individual may not be appointed as an outside director in a company that does not have a controlling shareholder, in the event that he has affiliation, at the time of his appointment, to the chairman, chief executive officer, a 5% shareholder or the chief financial officer; in addition, an individual may not be appointed as an outside director if his relative, partner, employer, supervisor, or an entity he controls, has other than negligible business or professional relations with any of the persons with which the outside director himself may not be affiliated in order to qualify as an outside director;
  ·
Outside directors may be re-elected following the initial term for an additional term by means of one of the following mechanisms: (i) the board of directors proposed the nominee and his appointment was approved by the shareholders in the manner required to appoint outside directors for their initial term (which was the only available way to re-elect external directors prior to the adoption of Amendment No. 16), or (ii) a shareholder holding 1% or more of the voting rights proposed the nominee, and the nominee is approved by a majority of the votes cast by the shareholders of the company on the matter, excluding the votes of any controlling shareholder and those who have a personal interest in the matter as a result of their relationship with any controlling shareholder, provided that, the aggregate votes cast by shareholders who are not controlling shareholders and do not have a personal interest in the matter as a result of their relations with the controlling shareholders in favor of the nominee constitute more than 2% of the voting rights in the company;
  47
  ·
The terms of employment of an officer now require the approval of the audit committee as well as the board of directors;
  ·
The threshold to approve extraordinary transactions with a controlling shareholder or in which a controlling shareholder has a personal interest was increased, such that: (i) at least a majority (previously one-third) of the votes cast by shareholders who have no personal interest in the transaction and who vote on the matter are voted in favor of the transaction, or (ii) the votes cast by shareholders who have no personal interest in the transaction voted against the transaction do not represent more than 2% (previously 1%) of the voting rights in the company; in addition, any such extraordinary transaction whose term is more than three years, require approval as described above every three years, unless (with respect to transactions not involving management fees) the audit committee approves that a longer term is reasonable under the circumstances;
  ·
With respect to full tender offers (tender offers for the acquisition of all outstanding shares in a company), the time-frame for a shareholder to a request appraisal rights with respect to the tender offer was extended from three to six months following the consummation of a tender, but it is now permitted for the acquirer to elect that any shareholder tendering his shares will not be entitled to appraisal rights.

Employees
  On December 31, 2010, we employed 104 persons, of whom 46 persons were employed in research, development and engineering, 45 persons in manufacturing and logistics, 4 persons in sales and marketing, and 9 persons in administration, management and finance.  All of our employees are located in Israel.  In addition, CACS, our 80%-owned subsidiary, employed 21 persons in China as of such date.
  On December 31, 2009, we employed 107 persons, of whom 50 persons were employed in research, development and engineering, 45 persons in manufacturing and logistics, 3 persons in sales and marketing, and 9 persons in administration, management and finance.  All of our employees are located in Israel.  In addition, CACS employed 21 persons in China as of such date.
  On December 31, 2008, we employed 98 persons, of whom 41 were employed in research, development and engineering, 44 persons in manufacturing and logistics, 4 persons in sales and marketing, and 9 persons in administration and management and finance.  All of our employees are located in Israel.  In addition, CACS employed 21 persons in China as of such date.
  Our technical employees have signed nondisclosure agreements covering all proprietary information that they might possess or to which they might have access.  Employees are not organized in any union, although they are employed according to provisions established by the Israeli Ministry of Labor.  Certain provisions of the collective bargaining agreements between the Histadrut (General Federation of Labor in Israel) and the Coordination Bureau of Economic Organizations (including the Industrialists Association) are applicable to our Israeli employees by order of the Israeli Ministry of Labor.  These provisions primarily concern the length of the workday, minimum daily wages for professional workers, contributions to a pension fund, insurance for work-related accidents, procedures for dismissing employees, determination of severance pay and other conditions of employment.  We generally provide our employees with benefits and working conditions beyond the required minimums.  Under the collective bargaining agreements, the wages of most of our employees are linked to the Israeli consumer price index, although the extent of the linkage is limited.
  48
  Israeli law generally requires severance pay upon the retirement or death of an employee or termination of employment without due cause.  Further, Israeli employees and employers are required to pay predetermined sums to the National Insurance Institute which is similar to the United States Social Security Administration; such amounts also include payments for national health insurance.  Most of our ongoing severance obligations for our Israeli employees are provided for by monthly payments made by us for insurance policies to cover these obligations.

  2003 Stock Option Plan
  Our 2003 Stock Option Plan, or the 2003 Plan, provides for the issuance of stock options to purchase an aggregate of 666,667 of our ordinary shares.  At our annual general meeting held in August 2006, the shareholders approved an increase in the number ordinary shares available for grant under the 2003 Plan by 500,000 shares. Consequently, 1,166,667 ordinary shares are subject to the 2003 Plan.  Options under the 2003 Plan may be granted to employees including officers and directors of our company and its subsidiaries who, in the judgment of the board of directors based on the recommendation of our compensation committee, are in a position to contribute significantly to our success.  The provisions of our 2003 Plan are designated to allow for the tax benefits promulgated under the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance [New Version].  Our board of directors has resolved that all options that will be granted to Israeli residents under the 2003 Plan will be taxable under the "capital gains path." Pursuant to this path the profit realized by the employee is taxed as a capital gain (25%) if the options or shares are held by a trustee for at least 24 months from the end of the tax year in which such options were granted.  If the shares are sold before the lapse of said 24 months period, the profit is re-characterized as ordinary income. We are not allowed to record a corresponding salary expense, even in the event the profit is taxed as ordinary income. Otherwise, the terms of the 2003 Plan are substantially the same as those of the 1999 Plan.
  In May 2008, we granted to four of our directors options to purchase a total of 261,000 ordinary shares for an exercise price of $ 2.14 per share in exchange for options to purchase 258,000 ordinary shares that were granted to those directors in 2003 for an exercise price of $ 4.02 per share.  Those new options granted were fully vested and there was no compensation expense related to those options.
  As of December 31, 2010, options to purchase 1,452,000 ordinary shares had been granted under the 2003 Plan at an average exercise price of $2.80 per share.  Of such options, options to purchase 56,472 ordinary shares had been exercised, options to purchase 627,166 ordinary shares had been cancelled, expired or forfeited and options to purchase 768,362ordinary shares were outstanding and exercisable having an average exercise price of $2.44 per share.

  Significant Changes in the Ownership of Major Shareholders
  On October 15, 2007, we entered into a $3.0 million loan agreement with Mr. Yeung.  Pursuant to such agreement, in consideration for the loan, we issued to Mr. Yeung a convertible note in the principal amount of $3.0 million.

The convertible note was initially scheduled to mature on October 14, 2010.  In addition, Mr. Yeung received warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,578,947 ordinary shares at an exercise price of $2.375 per share.  The warrants were initially exercisable for a period of five years beginning on October 15, 2007.  Effective as of April 2010, our Audit Committee and Board of Directors approved an amendment to the loan transaction according to which the maturity date of the notes and the expiration date of the warrants has been extended by two years, until October 14, 2012 and October 15, 2014, respectively.

  Major Shareholders Voting Rights
  Our major shareholders do not have different voting rights.
  Record Holders
  Based on a review of the information provided to us by American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, our transfer agent, as of March 30, 2011, there were 157 holders of record of our ordinary shares, of which 139record holders holding approximately 59.8% of our ordinary shares had registered addresses in the United States, including banks, brokers and nominees.  These numbers are not representative of the number of beneficial holders of our shares nor are they representative of where such beneficial holders reside, since many of these ordinary shares were held of record by banks, brokers or other nominees.
  B.
Related Party Transactions
  On October 15, 2007, we entered into a $3.0 million loan agreement with Mr. Yeung, our controlling shareholder.  Pursuant to such agreement, in consideration for the loan, we issued to Mr. Yeung a convertible note in the principal amount of $3.0 million.  The convertible note bears interest at a rate of six month LIBOR plus 3.5% and is convertible into ordinary shares at a conversion price of $2.09 per share.  The convertible note was initially scheduled to mature on October 14, 2010.  In addition, Mr. Yeung received warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,578,947 ordinary shares at an exercise price of $2.375 per share.  The warrants were initially exercisable for a period of five years beginning on October 15, 2007.  Effective as of April 2010, our Audit Committee and Board of Directors approved an amendment to the loan transaction according to which the maturity date of the convertible note and the expiration date of the warrants has been extended by two years, until October 14, 2012 and October 15, 2014, respectively.  Pursuant to the Israeli Companies Regulations (Relief from Related Party Transactions) 5760-2000 and based on a legal opinion that we received, we determined that shareholder approval was not required for the amendment to the loan transaction, since it extends the term of an existing transaction that was duly approved in accordance with requirements of the Israeli Companies Law.  However, in the event that within 14 days from the date of the disclosure of the resolution of the audit committee and the board of directors in this Annual Report, one or more shareholders holding at least 1% of our voting rights will so request, such resolution will be subject to the approval of the general meeting of our shareholders.
  In July 2008, we entered into a $1.5 million loan agreement with a company controlled by Mr. Yeung, our controlling shareholder, in order to facilitate further development of our INS technology.  The loan was drawn down in July 2008 ($1.0 million) and in December 2008 ($0.5 million).  The loan bears interest of 3% + LIBOR payable at the beginning of every quarter.  Principal payments equal to $90,000 are payable in six equal installments commencing July 1, 2009 and the remaining principal amount will be payable in eight equal installments, commencing April 1, 2011.  Subject to the approval of the Israeli Ministry of Defense, we will grant the lender a non-exclusive license to use the technology developed for non-military/commercial purposes.  The non-exclusive license will automatically convert into an exclusive license should we default on any of our obligations under the loan agreement.  We have also agreed in the future, subject to the approval of several governmental authorities including the Israeli Ministry of Defense, to establish a joint venture with Mr. Yeung or an affiliated entity that will be engaged in the production and marketing of such non-military/ commercial products and technology.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION
  A.
Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information
  Legal Proceedings
  Commencing 1998 we were engaged in litigation with Mr. Haim Nissenson, our former president and chief executive officer, in connection with payments that were allegedly due to him in connection with his employment with us and the termination thereof (Case No. 3/4074/98 H. Nissenson v. RADA Electronic Industries Ltd. and others, in the Regional Labor Court in Tel Aviv).  In addition, Mr. Nissenson has also sought a permanent injunction and declarative relief, stating that a personal loan that was provided to him by us had been forgiven.  In August 2000, we filed a claim against Mr. Nissenson in the Regional Labor Court in Tel Aviv (Case No. 7049/00 RADA Electronic Industries Ltd. v. Nissenson.) for the repayment of the loan we granted to Mr. Nissenson in the amount of NIS 2.0 million that allegedly was forgiven by us in Mr. Nissenson's retirement agreement, as mentioned above.  In February 2009, the Regional Labor Court determined that Mr. Nissenson is required to repay the $485,000 of loans he received from us together with accrued interest and linkage differences as provided by law.  The Court also denied all of Mr. Nissenson's claims and allegations against Mr. Herzle Bodinger, the current Chairman of our Board of Directors, as well as substantially all of Mr. Nissenson's claims against us.  The Court found that the retirement agreement between us and Mr. Nissenson is null and void since it was not legally approved, tainted with misleading information provided by Mr. Nissenson and included provisions that were not properly approved by our Board of Directors.  Mr. Nissenson appealed to the National Labor Court in Jerusalem.  In January 2010, the National Labor Court approved a settlement between the parties according to which the judgment of the Regional Labor Court remains in full force and effect.  In addition, based on the authorization given to the National Labor Court by the parties to rule by way of settlement, the National Labor Court has determined that the we shall pay Mr. Nissenson, on account of social benefits due to him in connection with his employment as our chief executive officer, a gross amount of NIS760,000.
  From time to time we are involved in legal proceedings arising from the operation of our business.  Based on the advice of our legal counsel, management believes such current proceedings, if any, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.
  Dividend Distribution Policy
  We have never paid cash dividends to our shareholders.  We intend to retain future earnings for use in our business and do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our ordinary shares in the foreseeable future.  Any future dividend policy will be determined by the board of directors and will be based upon conditions then existing, including our results of operations, financial condition, current and anticipated cash needs, contractual restrictions and other conditions as the board of directors may deem relevant.
  According to the Israeli Companies Law, a company may distribute dividends out of its profits, so long as the company reasonably believes that such dividend distribution will not prevent the company from paying all its current and future debts.  Profits, for purposes of the Israeli Companies Law, means the greater of retained earnings or earnings accumulated during the preceding two years.  In the event cash dividends are declared, such dividends will be paid in NIS.

Memorandum and Articles of Association
  Purposes and Objectives of the Company
  We are registered with the Israeli Companies Registry and have been assigned company number 52-003532-0.  Section 2 of our memorandum of association provides that we were established for the purpose of engaging in the business of providing services of planning, development, consultation and instruction in the electronics field.  In addition, the purpose of our company is to perform various corporate activities permissible under Israeli law.
  On February 1, 2000, the Israeli Companies Law came into effect and superseded most of the provisions of the Israeli Companies Ordinance (New Version), 5743-1983, except for certain provisions which relate to liens, bankruptcy, dissolution and liquidation of companies.  Under the Israeli Companies Law, as recently amended, various provisions, some of which are detailed below, overrule the current provisions of our articles of association.
  The Powers of the Directors
  Under the provisions of the Israeli Companies Law, and our articles of association, a director cannot participate in a meeting nor vote on a proposal, arrangement or contract in which he or she is materially interested.  In addition, our directors cannot vote compensation to themselves or any members of their body without the approval of our audit committee and our shareholders at a general meeting.  See "Item 6A. Directors, Senior Management and Employees – Approval of Related Party Transactions under Israeli Law."
  The authority of our directors to enter into borrowing arrangements on our behalf is not limited, except in the same manner as any other transaction by us.
  Under our articles of association, retirement of directors from office is not subject to any age limitation and our directors are not required to own shares in our company in order to qualify to serve as directors.
  Rights Attached to Shares
  Our authorized share capital consists of 16,333,333 ordinary shares of a nominal value of NIS 0.015 each.  All outstanding ordinary shares are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.  The rights attached to the ordinary shares are as follows:
  55
  The rights attached to the ordinary shares are as follows:
  Dividend rights.Holders of our ordinary shares are entitled to the full amount of any cash or share dividend subsequently declared.  The board of directors may declare interim dividends and propose the final dividend with respect to any fiscal year only out of the retained earnings, in accordance with the provisions of the Israeli Companies Law.  Our articles of association provide that the declaration of a dividend requires approval by an ordinary resolution of the shareholders, which may decrease but not increase the amount proposed by the board of directors.  See "Item 8A. Financial Information – Consolidated and Other Financial Information – Dividend Distribution Policy."  If after one year a dividend has been declared and it is still unclaimed, the board of directors is entitled to invest or utilize the unclaimed amount of dividend in any manner to our benefit until it is claimed.  We are not obligated to pay interest or linkage differentials on an unclaimed dividend.
  Voting rights.  Holders of ordinary shares have one vote for each ordinary share held on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders.  Such voting rights may be affected by the grant of any special voting rights to the holders of a class of shares with preferential rights that may be authorized in the future.
  An ordinary resolution, such as a resolution for the declaration of dividends, requires approval by the holders of a majority of the voting rights represented at the meeting, in person, by proxy or by written ballot and voting on the matter.  Under our articles of association, a special resolution, such as amending our memorandum of association or articles of association, approving any change in capitalization, winding-up, authorization of a class of shares with special rights, or other changes as specified in our articles of association, requires approval of a special majority, representing the holders of no less than 75% of the voting rights represented at the meeting in person, by proxy or by written ballot, and voting on the matter.
  Pursuant to our articles of association, our directors are elected at our annual general meeting of shareholders for a term of three years by a vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power represented and voting at such meeting. and hold office until the third next annual general meeting of shareholders and until their successors have been elected.  All the members of our Board of Directors (except the outside directors) may be reelected upon completion of their term of office.  For information regarding the election of outside directors, see "Item 6C. Directors, Senior Management and Employees – Directors and Senior Management - Board Practices - Election of Directors."
  Rights to share in the company's profits.  Our shareholders have the right to share in our profits distributed as a dividend and any other permitted distribution.  See this Item 10B. "Additional Information – Memorandum and Articles of Association – Rights Attached to Shares – Dividend Rights."
  Rights to share in surplus in the event of liquidation.  In the event of our liquidation, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors, our assets will be distributed to the holders of ordinary shares in proportion to the nominal value of their holdings.  This right may be affected by the grant of preferential dividend or distribution rights to the holders of a class of shares with preferential rights that may be authorized in the future.
  Liability to capital calls by the company.Under our memorandum of association and the Israeli Companies Law, the liability of our shareholders is limited to the par value of the shares held by them.
  Limitations on any existing or prospective major shareholder.  See Item 6A. "Directors and Senior Management – Approval of Related Party Transactions Under Israeli Law."

  56
  Annual and Special General Meetings

Depending on the matter to be voted upon, notice of at least 21 days or 35 days prior to the date of the meeting is required. Our board of directors may, in its discretion, convene additional meetings as "special general meetings."  In addition, the board of directors must convene a special general meeting upon the demand of two of the directors, 25% of the nominated directors, one or more shareholders having at least 5% of the outstanding share capital and at least 1% of the voting power in the company, or one or more shareholders having at least 5% of the voting power in the company.

At the reconvened meeting, the required quorum consists of any two members present in person or by proxy.
  Limitations on the Rights to Own Securities in Our Company
  Neither our memorandum of association or our articles of association nor the laws of the State of Israel restrict in any way the ownership or voting of shares by non-residents, except with respect to subjects of countries which are in a state of war with Israel.
  Provisions Restricting Change in Control of Our Company
  The Israeli Companies Law requires that mergers between Israeli companies be approved by the board of directors and general meeting of shareholders of both parties to the transaction.  The approval of the board of directors of both companies is subject to such board's confirmation that there is no reasonable doubt that after the merger the surviving company will be able to fulfill its obligations towards its creditors.  Each company must notify its creditors about the contemplated merger.  Generally, under the Israeli Companies Law, our articles of association are deemed to include a requirement that such merger be approved by a special resolution of the shareholders, as explained above.  The approval of the merger by the general meetings of shareholders of the companies is also subject to additional approval requirements as specified in the Israeli Companies Law and regulations promulgated thereunder.  For purposes of the shareholders approval, the merger shall not be deemed as granted, unless the court determines otherwise, if it is not supported by the majority of the shares represented at the general meeting, other than those shares that are held by the other party to the merger or by any shareholder holding 25% or more of the outstanding share capital of the company or the right to appoint 25% or more of the members of the board of directors.  See also "Item 6A.  Directors, Senior Management and Employees – Directors and Senior Management – Approval of Related Party Transactions Under Israeli Law."
  The Israeli Companies Law also provides that an acquisition of shares of a public company must be made by means of a special tender offer if as a result of the acquisition the purchaser would become a 25% or greater shareholder of the company and there is no existing 25% or greater shareholder in the company.  An acquisition of shares of a public company must also be made by means of a tender offer if as a result of the acquisition the purchaser would become a 45% or greater shareholder of the company and there is no existing 45% or greater shareholder in the company.  These requirements do not apply if the acquisition (i) was made through a private placement that received shareholder approval, (ii) was from a 25% shareholder of the company and resulted in the acquirer becoming a 25% shareholder of the company or (iii) was from a 45% shareholder of the company and resulted in the acquirer becoming a 45% shareholder of the company.  The special tender offer must be extended to all shareholders but, the offer may include explicit limitations allowing the offeror not to purchase shares representing more than 5% of the voting power attached to the company's outstanding shares, regardless of how many shares are tendered by shareholders.  The special tender offer may be effected only if (i) at least 5% of the voting power attached to the company's outstanding shares will be acquired by the offeror and (ii) the number of shares tendered in the offer exceeds the number of shares whose holders objected to the offer.
  57
  If, as a result of an acquisition of shares, the acquirer will hold more than 90% of the outstanding shares, the acquisition must be made by means of a tender offer for the entire outstanding shares.  In such event, if less than 5% of the outstanding shares are not tendered in the tender offer, all the shares of the company will be deemed as tendered and sold.  However, if more than 5% of the outstanding shares are not tendered in the tender offer, then the acquirer may not acquire any shares at all.  The law provides for appraisal allowing any shareholder to file a motion to the court within three months following the consummation of a full tender offer.
  In addition, the purchase of 25% or more of the outstanding share capital of a company or the purchase of substantial assets of a company requires, under certain conditions the approval of the Restrictive Practices Authority.  Furthermore if the target company has received tax incentives of grants from the OCS, changes in ownership may require also the approval of the tax authorities or the OCS, as applicable.
  Disclosure of Shareholders Ownership
  The Israeli Securities Law and regulations promulgated thereunder do not require a company whose shares are publicly traded solely in a stock exchange outside of Israel, as in the case of our company, to disclose its share ownership.
  Changes in Our Capital
  Changes in our capital are subject to the approval of the shareholders at a general meeting by a special majority of 75% of the votes of shareholders participating and voting in the general meeting.
  C.
Material Contracts
  None.
  D.
Exchange Controls
  Israeli law and regulations do not impose any material foreign exchange restrictions on non-Israeli holders of our ordinary shares.  In May 1998, a new "general permit" was issued under the Israeli Currency Control Law, 1978, which removed most of the restrictions that previously existed under such law, and enabled Israeli citizens to freely invest outside of Israel and freely convert Israeli currency into non-Israeli currencies.
  Non-residents of Israel who purchase our ordinary shares will be able to convert dividends, if any, thereon, and any amounts payable upon our dissolution, liquidation or winding up, as well as the proceeds of any sale in Israel of our ordinary shares to an Israeli resident, into freely repairable dollars, at the exchange rate prevailing at the time of conversion, provided that the Israeli income tax has been withheld (or paid) with respect to such amounts or an exemption has been obtained.
  Non-residents of Israel who purchase our ordinary shares will be able to convert dividends, if any, thereon, and any amounts payable upon our dissolution, liquidation or winding up, as well as the proceeds of any sale in Israel of our ordinary shares to an Israeli resident, into freely repairable dollars, at the exchange rate prevailing at the time of conversion, provided that the Israeli income tax has been withheld (or paid) with respect to such amounts or an exemption has been obtained.
  E.
Taxation
  The following is a discussion of Israeli and United States tax consequences material to us and our shareholders.  To the extent that the discussion is based on new tax legislation which has not been subject to judicial or administrative interpretation, the views expressed in the discussion might not be accepted by the tax authorities in question.  The discussion is not intended, and should not be construed, as legal or professional tax advice and does not exhaust all possible tax considerations.
  58
  Holders of our ordinary shares should consult their own tax advisors as to the United States, Israeli or other tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of ordinary shares, including, in particular, the effect of any foreign, state or local taxes.
  Israeli Tax Considerations
  The following is a summary of the current tax structure applicable to companies in Israel, with special reference to its effect on us.  The following also contains a discussion of the material Israeli tax consequences to purchasers of our ordinary shares and Israeli government programs benefiting us.  This summary does not discuss all the aspects of Israeli tax law that may be relevant to a particular investor in light of his or her personal investment circumstances or to some types of investors subject to special treatment under Israeli law. Examples of this kind of investor include residents of Israel or traders in securities who are subject to special tax regimes not covered in this discussion. Since some parts of this discussion are based on new tax legislation that has not yet been subject to judicial or administrative interpretation, we cannot assure you that the appropriate tax authorities or the courts will accept the views expressed in this discussion.
  General Corporate Tax Rate
  The rate of the Israeli corporate tax is as follows: 2008 - 27%, 2009 - 26%, 2010 - 25%.  Tax at a reduced rate of 25% applies on capital gains arising after January 1, 2003, instead of the regular tax rate. In July 2009, the Israeli Parliament passed the Law for Economic Efficiency (Amended Legislation for Implementing the Economic Plan for 2009 and 2010), which prescribes, among other things, an additional gradual reduction in the rates of the Israeli corporate tax and real capital gains tax starting in 2011 to the following tax rates: 2011 - 24%, 2012 - 23%, 2013 - 22%, 2014 - 21%, 2015 - 20%, 2016 and thereafter - 18%. Capital gains derived after January 1, 2003 (the gains derived from the sale of listed securities that are taxed at the prevailing corporate tax rates) are subject to tax at a rate of 25%.
  In December 2010, the Israeli Parliament, passed the Law for Economic Efficiency for 2011 and 2012 (Amended Legislation), 2011, which prescribes, among other things, amendments to the Investment Law, effective as of January 1, 2011.  According to the amendment, the benefit tracks under the Investment Law were modified and a uniform tax rate will apply to all of the income of an Approved or Privileged Enterprise.  Companies may elect to irrevocably implement the amendment (while waiving benefits provided under the Investment Law as currently in effect) and subsequently would be subject to the amended tax rates that are: 2011 and 2012 - 15%, 2013 and 2014 - 12.5% and in 2015 and thereafter - 12%. We are currently examining the possible effect of the amendment on our financial statements, if at all, and has not yet decided whether to apply the amendment.
  Law for the Encouragement of Industry (Taxes), 1969
  The Law for the Encouragement of Industry (Taxes), 1969, generally referred to as the Industry Encouragement Law, provides several tax benefits for industrial companies. We believe that we currently qualify as an "Industrial Company" within the meaning of the Industry Encouragement Law.  The Industry Encouragement Law defines "Industrial Company" as a company resident in Israel, of which 90% or more of its income in any tax year, other than of income from defense loans, capital gains, interest and dividend, is derived from an "Industrial Enterprise" owned by it. An "Industrial Enterprise" is defined as an enterprise whose major activity in a given tax year is industrial production activity.
  The following corporate tax benefits, among others, are available to Industrial Companies:
  ·
Amortization of the cost of purchased know-how and patents and/or right to use a patent and know-how which are used for the development or advancement of the company, over an eight-year period;
  ·
Accelerated depreciation rates on equipment and buildings;
  ·
Under specified conditions, an election to file consolidated tax returns with additional related Israeli Industrial Companies; and
  59
  ·
Expenses related to a public offering are deductible in equal amounts over three years.
  Eligibility for the benefits under the Industry Encouragement Law is not subject to receipt of prior approval from any governmental authority. We cannot assure that we qualify or will continue to qualify as an "Industrial Company" or that the benefits described above will be available in the future.
  Law for the Encouragement of Industrial Research and Development, 1984
  Under the Law for the Encouragement of Industrial Research and Development, 1984, research and development programs approved by a governmental committee of the OCS are eligible for grants, in exchange for payment of royalties from revenues generated by the products developed in accordance with the program.  Once a project is approved, the OCS will award grants between 20-50% of the project's approved budget, in exchange for royalties at a rate of 3% to 6%, depending on the date of approval of the project, of the proceeds from the sales of the products that are developed from projects funded by the OCS.  These royalties must be paid beginning with the commencement of sales of those products and ending when 100% of the dollar value of the grant was repaid or, for projects approved after January 1, 1999, the dollar amount of the grant plus interest at the rate LIBOR for dollar deposits in a twelve-month period.
  The terms of this Israeli governmental participation also require that the products developed with government grants be manufactured in Israel, unless a special governmental committee, in its discretion consents to manufacturing abroad.  In addition, in the event that any of the manufacturing rights are transferred out of Israel, if approved by the special governmental committee, we may be required to pay royalties at a higher rate and be liable to an increased aggregate pay back amount depending on the portion of manufacturing performed outside of Israel, up to a maximum of 300% of the dollar amount of the grant, or of the dollar amount plus interest, as applicable. The technology developed pursuant to the terms of these grants may not be transferred outside of Israel, excluding several exceptions, which will be detailed below, and may be transferred to third parties within Israel only with the prior approval of the governmental committee. This approval is not required for the export of any products resulting from that research development. Approval of the transfer of technology within Israel may be granted only if the recipient abides by all of the provisions of this law and the regulations promulgated thereunder, including the restrictions on the transfer of know-how and the obligation to pay royalties in an amount that may be increased. There can be no assurance that this consent, requested at the time of a future transfer of technology, will be granted.
  In June 2005, an amendment to the Research Law became effective, which amendment was intended to make the Research Law more compatible with the global business environment by, among other things, relaxing restrictions on the transfer of manufacturing rights outside Israel and on the transfer of OCS-funded know-how outside of Israel.
  The amendment permits the OCS, among other things, to approve the transfer of manufacturing rights outside Israel in exchange for an import of different manufacturing into Israel as a substitute, in lieu of demanding the recipient to pay increased royalties as described above.
  The amendment further permits, under certain circumstances and subject to the OCS's prior approval, the transfer outside Israel of know-how that has been funded by OCS, generally in the following cases: (a) the grant recipient pays to the OCS a portion of the consideration paid for such funded know-how (according to certain formulas), (b) the grant recipient receives know-how from a third party in exchange for its funded know-how, or (c) such transfer of funded know-how arises in connection with certain types of cooperation in research and development activities.
  The Research Law imposes reporting requirements with respect to certain changes in the ownership of a grant recipient. The law requires the grant recipient and its controlling shareholders and interested parties to notify the OCS of any change in control of the recipient or a change in the holdings of the means of control of the recipient that results in a foreign resident becoming an interested party directly in the recipient.
  60
  In addition, the rules of the OCS may require prior approval of the OCS or additional information or representations in respect of certain of such events. For this purpose, "control" is defined as the ability to direct the activities of a company other than any ability arising solely from serving as an officer or director of the company. A person is presumed to have control if such person holds 50% or more of the means of control of a company.  "Means of control" refers to voting rights or the right to appoint directors or the chief executive officer.  An "interested party" of a company includes a holder of 5% or more of its outstanding share capital or voting rights, its chief executive officer and directors, someone who has the right to appoint its chief executive officer or at least one director, and a company with respect to which any of the foregoing interested parties owns 25% or more of the outstanding share capital or voting rights or has the right to appoint 25% or more of the directors.
  Accordingly, any foreign resident who acquires 5% or more of our ordinary shares will be required to notify the OCS that it has become an interested party and to sign an undertaking to comply with the Research Law.
  Additionally, procedures regulated under the Research Law require the grant recipient to obtain the approval of the OCS, prior to a change in the holdings of the recipient or change in the holdings of the means of control of the recipient if the recipient's shares are being issued to a foreign person or entity and require the new foreign party to undertake to the OCS to comply with the Research Law.
  We cannot assure you that we will receive OCS grants in the future.  In addition, each application to the OCS is reviewed separately, and grants are based on the program approved by the research committee.  Generally, expenditures supported under other incentive programs of the State of Israel are not eligible for grants from the OCS.
  In order to meet certain conditions in connection with the grants and programs of the OCS, we have made some representations to the Israeli government about our future plans for our Israeli operations.  From time to time the extent of our Israeli operations has differed and may in the future differ, from our representations.  If, after receiving grants under certain of such programs, we fail to meet certain conditions to those benefits or if there is any material deviation from the representations made by us to the Israeli government, we could be required to refund to the State of Israel tax or other benefits previously received (including interest and consumer price index linkage difference) and would likely be denied receipt of such grants or benefits, and participation of such programs, thereafter.
  Capital Gains Tax on Sales of Our Ordinary Shares
  Under income tax regulations shareholders that are not Israeli residents are generally exempt from Israeli capital gains tax on any gains derived from the sale, exchange or disposition of our ordinary shares, provided that (1) such shareholders did not acquire their shares prior to first initial public offering on a recognized stock exchange outside of Israel, (2) the provisions of the Income Tax Law (inflationary adjustments), 1985 do not apply to such gain, and (3) such gains did not derive from a permanent establishment or business activity of such shareholders in Israel.  However, non-Israeli corporations will not be entitled to the foregoing exemptions if an Israeli resident (i) has a controlling interest of 25% or more in such non-Israeli corporation, or (ii) is the beneficiary of or is entitled to 25% or more of the revenues or profits of such non-Israeli corporation, whether directly or indirectly.
  Under the U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty, the sale, exchange or disposition of our ordinary shares by a shareholder who is a U.S. resident (for purposes of the U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty) holding the ordinary shares as a capital asset is exempt from Israeli capital gains tax unless either (i) the shareholder holds, directly or indirectly, shares representing 10% or more of our voting capital during any part of the 12-month period preceding such sale, exchange or disposition or (ii) the capital gains arising from such sale are attributable to a permanent establishment of the shareholder located in Israel. However, under the U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty, U.S. Residents would be permitted to claim a credit for such taxes against the U.S. federal income tax imposed with respect to such sale, exchange or disposition, subject to limitations in U.S. laws applicable to foreign tax credits. The treaty does not relate to U.S. state or local taxes.
  Taxation of Foreign Resident Holders of Shares
  Non-residents of Israel are generally subject to Israeli income tax on the receipt of dividends paid on our ordinary shares at the rate of 20%, which tax will be withheld at source, unless a different rate is provided in a treaty between Israel and the shareholder's country of residence.  With respect to a substantial shareholder, the applicable tax rate is at 25%.  Under the U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty, the maximum rate of tax withheld in Israel on dividends paid to a holder of our ordinary shares who is a U.S. resident (for purposes of the U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty) is 25%. However, generally, the maximum rate of withholding tax on dividends, not generated by our Approved Enterprise, that are paid to a U.S. corporation holding 10% or more of our outstanding voting capital throughout the tax year in which the dividend is distributed as well as the previous tax year, is 12.5%.
  61
  A non-resident of Israel who receives dividends from which tax was withheld is generally exempt from the duty to file returns in Israel in respect of such income, provided such income was not derived from a business conducted in Israel by the taxpayer, and the taxpayer has no other taxable sources of income in Israel.
  Foreign Exchange Regulations
  Dividends (if any) paid to the holders of our ordinary shares, and any amounts payable with respect to our ordinary shares upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up, as well as the proceeds of any sale in Israel of the ordinary shares to an Israeli resident, may be paid in non-Israeli currency or, if paid in Israeli currency, may be converted into freely reparable U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange prevailing at the time of conversion, however, Israeli income tax is required to have been paid or withheld on these amounts.
  Controlled Foreign Corporation
  In general, and subject to the provisions of all relevant legislation, an Israeli resident who holds, directly of indirectly, 10% or more of the rights in a foreign corporation whose shares are not publicly traded, in which more than 50% of the rights are held directly or indirectly by Israeli residents, and a majority of whose income in a tax year is considered passive income (generally referred to as a Controlled Foreign Corporation, or CFC), is liable for tax on the portion of his income attributed to holdings in such corporation, as if such income was distributed to him as a dividend.
  Share Allocations to Employees
  In general, the section of the Tax Ordinance that deals with taxation of share allocations to employees and/or officers (excluding controlling members) provides that a company may choose one of three courses of taxation which course must be approved by the assessing officer: (i) work income course for shares held 12 months in trust; (ii) capital gains course for shares held 24 months in trust; and (iii) allocation not through a trustee.  Each of these courses has different tax consequences.
  As of January 1, 2006, the periods mentioned in the first two courses commence as of the date of grant and not as of the end of the tax year in which the shares were granted.
  United States Federal Income Tax Consequences
  The following is a summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences that apply to U.S. Holders who hold ordinary shares as capital assets.  This summary is based on the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial and administrative interpretations thereof, and the U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty, all as in effect on the date hereof and all of which are subject to change either prospectively or retroactively.  This summary does not address all tax considerations that may be relevant with respect to an investment in ordinary shares.  This summary does not discuss all the tax consequences that may be relevant to a U.S. Holder in light of such holder's particular circumstances or to U.S. Holders subject to special rules, including persons that are non-U.S. Holders, broker-dealers, financial institutions, certain insurance companies, investors liable for alternative minimum tax, tax-exempt organizations, regulated investment companies, foreignresident aliens of the U.S. or taxpayers whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, persons who hold the ordinary shares through partnerships or other pass-through entities, persons who acquired their ordinary shares through the exercise or cancellation of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation for services, investors that actually or constructively own 10 percent or more of our voting shares, and investors holding ordinary shares as part of a straddle or appreciated financial position or as part of a hedging or conversion transaction.
  62
  If a partnership or an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes owns ordinary shares, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in such a partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A partnership that owns ordinary shares and the partners in such partnership should consult their tax advisors about the U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding and disposing of ordinary shares.
  This summary does not address the effect of any U.S. federal taxation other than U.S. federal income and gift and estate taxation.  In addition, this summary does not include any discussion of state, local or foreign taxation.
  You are urged to consult your tax advisors regarding the foreign and United States federal, state and local tax considerations of an investment in ordinary shares.
  For purposes of this summary, the term "U.S. Holder" means an individual who is a citizen or, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a resident of the United States, a corporation or other entity taxable as a corporation created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof, an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source, or a trust that (a) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and the control of one or more U.S. persons or (b) has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.
  Taxation of Dividends
  Subject to the discussion below under "Passive Foreign Investment Companies," the gross amount of any distributions received with respect to ordinary shares, including the amount of any Israeli taxes withheld therefrom, will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. You will be required to include this amount of dividends in gross income as ordinary income. Distributions in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits will be treated as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of your tax basis in the ordinary shares and any amount in excess of your tax basis will be treated as gain from the sale of ordinary shares. See "-Disposition of Ordinary Shares" below for the discussion on the taxation of capital gains. Dividends will not qualify for the dividends-received deduction generally available to corporations under Section 243 of the Code.
  Dividends that we pay in NIS, including the amount of any Israeli taxes withheld therefrom, will be included in your income in a U.S. dollar amount calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the day such dividends are received.  A U.S. Holder who receives payment in NIS and converts NIS into U.S. dollars at an exchange rate other than the rate in effect on such day may have a foreign currency exchange gain or loss that would be treated as ordinary income or loss.  U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors concerning the U.S. tax consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of NIS.
  Subject to complex limitations, any Israeli withholding tax imposed on such dividends will be a foreign income tax eligible for credit against a U.S. Holder's U.S. federal income tax liability (or, alternatively, for deduction against income in determining such tax liability).  The limitations set out in the Code include computational rules under which foreign tax credits allowable with respect to specific classes of income cannot exceed the U.S. federal income taxes otherwise payable with respect to each such class of income.  Dividends generally will be treated as foreign-source passive category income or, in the case of certain U.S. Holders, general category income for United States foreign tax credit purposes.  Further, there are special rules for computing the foreign tax credit limitation of a taxpayer who receives dividends subject to a reduced tax, see discussion below.  A U.S. Holder will be denied a foreign tax credit with respect to Israeli income tax withheld from dividends received on the ordinary shares to the extent such U.S. Holder has not held the ordinary shares for at least 16 days of the 31-day period beginning on the date which is 15 days before the ex-dividend date or to the extent such U.S. Holder is under an obligation to make related payments with respect to substantially similar or related property.  Any days during which a U.S. Holder has substantially diminished its risk of loss on the ordinary shares are not counted toward meeting the 16-day holding period required by the statute.  The rules relating to the determination of the foreign tax credit are complex, and you should consult with your personal tax advisors to determine whether and to what extent you would be entitled to this credit.
  63
  Subject to certain limitations, "qualified dividend income" received by a noncorporate U.S. Holder in tax years beginning on or before December 31, 2012 will be subject to tax at a reduced maximum tax rate of 15 percent.  Distributions taxable as dividends paid on the ordinary shares should qualify for the 15 percent rate provided that either: (i) we are entitled to benefits under the income tax treaty between the United States and Israel, or the Treaty, or (ii) the ordinary shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States and certain other requirements are met.  We believe that we are entitled to benefits under the Treaty and that the ordinary shares currently are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States.  However, no assurance can be given that the ordinary shares will remain readily tradable.  The rate reduction does not apply unless certain holding period requirements are satisfied.  With respect to the ordinary shares, the U.S. Holder must have held such shares for at least 61 days during the 121-day period beginning 60 days before the ex-dividend date.  The rate reduction also does not apply to dividends received from passive foreign investment companies, see discussion below, or in respect of certain hedged positions or in certain other situations.  The legislation enacting the reduced tax rate contains special rules for computing the foreign tax credit limitation of a taxpayer who receives dividends subject to the reduced tax rate.  U.S. Holders of ordinary shares should consult their own tax advisors regarding the effect of these rules in their particular circumstances.
  The Health Care Reform and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (Pub. Law 111-152) requires certain U.S. Holders who are individuals to pay a 3.8% tax on the lesser of the excess of their modified adjusted gross income over a threshold amount ($250,000 for married persons filing jointly and $200,000 for single taxpayers) or their "net investment income," which generally includes capital gains from the disposition of property, for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2012.  This tax is in addition to any capital gains taxes due on such investment income.  A similar tax will apply to estates and trusts.  U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, this law may have on them.
  Disposition of Ordinary Shares
  If you sell or otherwise dispose of ordinary shares, you will recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes in an amount equal to the difference between the amounts realized on the sale or other disposition and your adjusted tax basis in the ordinary shares. Subject to the discussion below under the heading "Passive Foreign Investment Companies," such gain or loss generally will be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if you have held the ordinary shares for more than one year at the time of the sale or other disposition. In general, any gain that you recognize on the sale or other disposition of ordinary shares will be U.S.-source for purposes of the foreign tax credit limitation; losses will generally be allocated against U.S. source income.  Deduction of capital losses is subject to certain limitations under the Code.
  In the case of a cash basis U.S. Holder who receives NIS in connection with the sale or disposition of ordinary shares, the amount realized will be based on the U.S. dollar value of the NIS received with respect to the ordinary shares as determined on the settlement date of such exchange. A U.S. Holder who receives payment in NIS and converts NIS into United States dollars at a conversion rate other than the rate in effect on the settlement date may have a foreign currency exchange gain or loss that would be treated as ordinary income or loss.
  An accrual basis U.S. Holder may elect the same treatment required of cash basis taxpayers with respect to a sale or disposition of ordinary shares, provided that the election is applied consistently from year to year.  Such election may not be changed without the consent of the Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS.  In the event that an accrual basis U.S. Holder does not elect to be treated as a cash basis taxpayer (pursuant to the Treasury regulations applicable to foreign currency transactions), such U.S. Holder may have a foreign currency gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes because of differences between the U.S. dollar value of the currency received prevailing on the trade date and the settlement date.  Any such currency gain or loss would be treated as ordinary income or loss and would be in addition to gain or loss, if any, recognized by such U.S. Holder on the sale or disposition of such ordinary shares.
  64
  Passive Foreign Investment Companies
  For U.S. federal income tax purposes, we will be considered a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for any taxable year in which either (i) 75% or more of our gross income is passive income, or (ii) at least 50% of the average value of all of our assets for the taxable year produce or are held for the production of passive income. For this purpose, passive income includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents, annuities and the excess of gains over losses from the disposition of assets which produce passive income. If we were determined to be a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, highly complex rules would apply to U.S. Holders owning ordinary shares. Accordingly, you are urged to consult your tax advisors regarding the application of such rules.
  Based on our current and projected income, assets and activities, we believe that we are not currently a PFIC nor do we expect to become a PFIC in the foreseeable future. However, because the determination of whether we are a PFIC is based upon the composition of our income and assets from time to time, there can be no assurances that we will not become a PFIC for any future taxable year.
  If we are treated as a PFIC for any taxable year, dividends would not qualify for the reduced maximum tax rate, discussed above, you would be required to make an annual return on IRS Form 8621 regarding your ordinary shares and, unless you elect either to treat your investment in ordinary shares as an investment in a "qualified electing fund," or QEF election, or to "mark-to-market" your ordinary shares, as described below:
  ·
you would be required to allocate income recognized upon receiving certain dividends or gain recognized upon the disposition of ordinary shares ratably over the holding period for such ordinary shares,
  ·
the amount allocated to each year during which we are considered a PFIC and subsequent years, other than the year of the dividend payment or disposition, would be subject to tax at the highest individual or corporate tax rate, as the case may be, in effect for that year and an interest charge would be imposed with respect to the resulting tax liability allocated to each such year, and
  ·
the amount allocated to the current taxable year and any taxable year before we became a PFIC would be taxable as ordinary income in the current year.
  If you make either a timely QEF election or a timely mark-to-market election in respect of your ordinary shares, you would not be subject to the rules described above. If you make a timely QEF election, you would be required to include in your income for each taxable year your pro rata share of our ordinary earnings as ordinary income and your pro rata share of our net capital gain as long-term capital gain, whether or not such amounts are actually distributed to you.  You would not be eligible to make a QEF election unless we comply with certain applicable information reporting requirements.
  Alternatively, if the ordinary shares are considered "marketable stock" and if you elect to "mark-to-market" your ordinary shares, you will generally include in income any excess of the fair market value of the ordinary shares at the close of each tax year over your adjusted basis in the ordinary shares. If the fair market value of the ordinary shares had depreciated below your adjusted basis at the close of the tax year, you may generally deduct the excess of the adjusted basis of the ordinary shares over its fair market value at that time. However, such deductions generally would be limited to the net mark-to-market gains, if any, that you included in income with respect to such ordinary shares in prior years. Income recognized and deductions allowed under the mark-to-market provisions, as well as any gain or loss on the disposition of ordinary shares with respect to which the mark-to-market election is made, is treated as ordinary income or loss (except that loss on a disposition of ordinary shares is treated as capital loss to the extent the loss exceeds the net mark-to-market gains, if any, that you included in income with respect to such ordinary shares in prior years). Gain or loss from the disposition of ordinary shares (as to which a mark-to-market election was made) in a year in which we are no longer a PFIC, will be capital gain or loss.

  Backup Withholding and Information Reporting
  Payments in respect of ordinary shares may be subject to information reporting to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and to U.S. backup withholding tax at a rate equal to the fourth lowest income tax rate applicable to individuals (which, under current law, is 28%).  Backup withholding will not apply, however, if you (i) are a corporation or come within certain exempt categories, and demonstrate the fact when so required, or (ii) furnish a correct taxpayer identification number and make any other required certification.
  Backup withholding is not an additional tax.  Amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be credited against a U.S. Holder's U.S. tax liability, and a U.S. Holder may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules by filing the appropriate claim for refund with the IRS.
  U.S. Gift and Estate Tax
  An individual U.S. Holder of ordinary shares will be subject to U.S. gift and estate taxes with respect to ordinary shares in the same manner and to the same extent as with respect to other types of personal property.

  We are subject to certain of the reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, as applicable to "foreign private issuers" as defined in Rule 3b-4 under the Exchange Act.  As a foreign private issuer, we are exempt from certain provisions of the Exchange Act.  Accordingly, our proxy solicitations are not subject to the disclosure and procedural requirements of Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act, and transactions in our equity securities by our officers and directors are exempt from reporting and the "short-swing" profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act.  In addition, we are not required under the Exchange Act to file periodic reports and financial statements as frequently or as promptly as U.S. companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act.  However, we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission an annual report on Form 20-F containing financial statements audited by an independent accounting firm.  We also submit to the Securities and Exchange Commission reports on Form 6-K containing (among other things) press releases and unaudited financial information.  We post our annual report on Form 20-F on our website (www.rada.com) promptly following the filing of our annual report with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The information on our website is not incorporated by reference into this annual report.
  This annual report and the exhibits thereto and any other document we file pursuant to the Exchange Act may be inspected without charge and copied at prescribed rates at the Securities and Exchange Commission public reference room at 100 F Street, N.E., Room 1580, Washington, D.C. 20549.  You may obtain information on the operation of the Securities and Exchange Commission's public reference room in Washington, D.C. by calling the Securities and Exchange Commission at 1-800-SEC-0330.  The Exchange Act file number for our Securities and Exchange Commission filings is 000-15375.
  The Securities and Exchange Commission maintains a website at www.sec.gov that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding registrants that make electronic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission using its EDGAR (Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval) system.

  ITEM 11.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISKS
  Interest Rate Risk
  We currently do not invest in, or otherwise hold, for trading or other purposes, any financial instruments subject to market risk.  We pay interest on our credit facilities, convertible notes and long-term and short-term loans based on Libor, for dollar-denominated loans, and Israeli prime or adjustment differences to the Israeli consumer price index, for some of our NIS-denominated loans.  As a result, changes in the general level of interest rates directly affect the amount of interest payable by us under these facilities.  However, we expect our exposure to market risk from changes in interest rates to be minimal and not material.  Therefore, no quantitative tabular disclosures are required.
  Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
  The depreciation of the NIS against the U.S. dollar has the effect of reducing the U.S. dollar amount of any of our expenses or liabilities which are payable in NIS (unless such expenses or payables are linked to the U.S. dollar).  As of December 31, 2010, we had liabilities payable in NIS which are not linked to the U.S. dollar in the amount of $7.3 million and cash and receivables in the amount of $5.0 million denominated in NIS.  Accordingly, 1% appreciation of the NIS against the dollar would increase our financing expenses by approximately $22,000.  A 1% depreciation of the NIS against the dollar would decrease our financing expenses by the same amount.  Neither a 10% increase nor decrease in current exchange rates would have a material affect on our consolidated financial statements.  However, the amount of liabilities payable and/or cash and receivables in NIS is likely to change from time to time.
  Because exchange rates between the NIS and the U.S. dollar fluctuate continuously, exchange rate fluctuations and especially larger periodic devaluations will have an impact on our profitability and period-to-period comparisons of our results.  The effects of foreign currency re-measurements are reported in our consolidated financial statements in continuing operations.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
  Disclosure Controls and Procedures
  We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our chief executive officer and chief financial officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 20-F.  Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
  Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
  Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting.  Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company's principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the company's board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
  ·
pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transaction and dispositions of the assets of the company;
  ·
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and
  ·
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
  Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
  Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010.  In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.  Based on that assessment, our management concluded that as of December 31, 2010, our internal control over financial reporting is effective.
  Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
  There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this annual report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
  Under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5615(a)(3), foreign private issuers, such as our company, are permitted to follow certain home country corporate governance practices instead of certain provisions of the NASDAQ Listing Rules.  A foreign private issuer that elects to follow a home country practice instead of any of such NASDAQ rules must submit to NASDAQ, in advance, a written statement from an independent counsel in such issuer's home country certifying that the issuer's practices are not prohibited by the home country's laws.
  In May 2005 and August 2005, we informed NASDAQ that we do not comply with the following requirements of Rule 5615(a) (3), and instead follow Israeli law and practice in respect of such requirements:
  ·
The requirement to maintain a majority of independent directors, as defined under the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules.  Instead, under Israeli law and practice, we are required to appoint at least two outside directors, within the meaning of the Israeli Companies Law, to our board of directors. In addition, in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and NASDAQ, we have the mandated three independent directors, as defined by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and NASDAQ, on our audit committee.  See above in this Item 6C. "Directors, Senior Management and Employees - Board Practices - Independent and Outside Directors.
  ·
The requirement that our independent directors have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.  Under Israeli law independent directors are not required to hold executive sessions.
  ·
The requirement regarding the nominations process for directors.  Instead, we follow Israeli law and practice in accordance with which our board of directors recommends directors for election by our shareholders.  See above in this Item 6C. "Directors, Senior Management and Employees - Board Practices - Election of Directors."
  ·
The requirement regarding the compensation of officers.  Instead, we follow Israeli law and practice.   Under the Israeli Companies Law, all arrangements as to compensation of office holders who are not directors require the approval of the board of directors if the transaction is not an "extraordinary transaction," unless a company's articles of association provide otherwise,and if such transaction is an "extraordinary transaction," it requires the approval of the audit committee and the board of directors, in that order.  The compensation of office holders who are directors must be approved by our Audit Committee, Board of Directors and shareholders, in that order.

 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
 To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
 
 RADA ELECTRONIC INDUSTRIES LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARY
  We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Rada Electronic Industries Ltd. ("the Company") and subsidiary as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
 We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
  In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company and subsidiary as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 NOTE 1:-GENERAL
 
 
 
 
 a.
Rada Electronic Industries Ltd. ("the Company") is an Israel - based defense electronics contractor that specialize in the development, manufacture and sale of data recording and management systems (such as digital video and data recorders, ground debriefing stations, head-up display cameras), inertial navigation systems for air and land applications, avionics solutions (such as aircraft upgrades, avionics for unmanned aircraft vehicles, or UAVs, store management systems and interface computers) and radar sensors for active protective systems for land vehicles. The Company also provides test and repair services using its CATS testers and test program sets (“TPS”) for commercial aviation electronic systems mainly through its Chinese subsidiary.
 
 b.
As reflected in the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2010, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $ 61,988. Based on existing and anticipated orders in 2011 and the Company's current bank facilities, management believes that the anticipated cash flows from operations will enable the Company to finance its operations at least through December 31, 2011.
 
 d.
The Company operates a test and repair shop using its Automated Test Equipment ("ATE") products in Beijing, China through its 80% owned Chinese subsidiary, Beijing Huari Aircraft Components Maintenance and Services Co. Ltd. ("CACS" or "subsidiary"). CACS was established with a Chinese third party, which owns the remaining 20% equity interest.



In 2010, the Company and the Chinese third party agreed that the third party would withdraw it 20% interest from CACS and the Company would become a 100% interest holder in CACS. In consideration for the 20% interest in CACS, the Company would provide the third party its 80% interest in the land and building in CACS. The agreement is subject to the approval of the Chinese authorities and other procedures which need to be performed by both parties.
 
 e.
Revenues from major customers accounted for 63%, 50% and 71% of total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. See note 15c.

 NOTE 2:-SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
 The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the financial statements, applied on a consistent basis, are as follows:
 
 a.
Use of estimates:
 
 The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
 b.
Financial statements in U.S. dollars:
 
 Most of the revenues of the Company are generated in U.S. dollars ("dollar"). In addition, a substantial portion of the costs of the Company is incurred in dollars. The Company's management believes that the dollar is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates. Thus, its functional and reporting currency is the dollar.
 
 Accordingly, monetary accounts maintained in currencies other than the dollar are remeasured into U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC 830 (originally issued as "SFAS 52"). All transaction gains and losses of the remeasured monetary balance sheet items are reflected in the statement of operations as financial income or expenses, as appropriate, in the period in which the currency exchange rate changes.
 
 The financial statements of the Company's foreign subsidiary, whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, have been translated into dollars. All balance sheet amounts have been translated using the exchange rates in effect at balance sheet date. Statement of operation amounts have been translated using the average exchange rate prevailing during the year. Such translation adjustments are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders' equity.
 
 c.
Basis of consolidation:
 
 The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary. Inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
 
 d.
Reclassification:
 
 Certain amounts in prior years' financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation.

 e.
Cash and cash equivalents:
 
 All highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash and are not restricted as to withdrawal or use and the period to maturity of which did not exceed three months at time of deposit, are considered cash equivalents.
 
 f.
Restricted cash:
 
 Restricted cash is invested in a short-term bank deposit (less than three months), which is mainly used as security for the Company's guarantees to customers. The deposit is in U.S. dollars and bears a variable interest of up to 1.25%.
 
 g.
Inventories:
 
 Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Inventory write-offs are provided to cover risks arising from slow-moving items, excess inventories and for market prices lower than cost, See also Note 4.
 
 Cost is determined as follows:
 
 Raw materials and components - using the FIFO cost method.
 
 Work in progress and finished goods - represents the cost of manufacturing with the addition of allocable indirect manufacturing costs.
 
 Costs incurred on long-term contracts in progress include direct labor, material, subcontractors, other direct costs and an allocation of overhead, which represent recoverable costs incurred for production.
 
 h.
Property, plant and equipment:
 
 Property plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Annual rates of depreciation are as follows:
 
 %Factory and other buildings


4Machinery and equipment


7 - 33Office furniture and equipment


6 - 15

 NOTE 2:-SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
 
 Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life or the lease period.
 
 Assets, in respect of which investment grants have been received, are presented at cost less the related grant amount. Depreciation is based on net cost.
 
 i.
Intangible assets:
 
 Capitalized software costs are amortized by the greater of the amount computed using: (i) the ratio of current gross revenues from sales of the software to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues from sales of that software, or (ii) the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the product. The Company assesses the recoverability of these intangible assets on a regular basis by determining whether the amortization of the asset over its remaining life can be recovered through undiscounted future operating cash flows from the specific software product sold.
 
 At each balance sheet date, the unamortized capitalized costs of the software products are compared to the net realizable value of the product. If the unamortized capitalized costs of a computer software product exceed the net realizable value of the product, such excess is written off. The net realizable value is calculated as the estimated future gross revenues from the product reduced by the estimated future costs of completing and disposing of that product, including the costs of performing maintenance and customer support required to satisfy the Company's responsibility set forth at the time of the sale.
 
 No impairment charges were recorded for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. In 2010, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $ 45 in respect of TPS's which will not be realizable in the future.
 
 j.
Impairment of long-lived assets:
 
 The Company's long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 360 ("Formerly SFAS No. 144") whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. As of December 31, 2010, no impairment losses have been identified.

 k.
Goodwill
 
 Goodwill represents excess of the costs over the net assets of businesses acquired. Under ASC 350 (Formerly "SFAS No. 142"), goodwill acquired in a business combination may not be amortized. ASC 350 requires goodwill to be tested for impairment at least annually or between annual tests in certain circumstances, and written down when impaired. In 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded goodwill in respect of additional consideration payable in connection with the acquisition of Vectop relating to royalties due based on actual revenues derived from Vectop projects. The Company operates in one segment, and this segment comprises its only reporting unit, as required under ASC 350.
 
 ASC 350 prescribes a two-phase process for impairment testing of goodwill. The first phase screens for impairment while the second phase (if necessary) measures impairment. In the first phase of impairment testing, goodwill attributable to each of the reporting units is tested for impairment by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying value. The Company determines its fair value according to the Company's market capitalization and the goodwill was tested for impairment by comparing the fair market value with its carrying amount. As of December 31, 2010, no impairment losses have been identified. As a result, step two was not required.
 
 l.
Research and development costs:
 
 Research and development costs, net of participation grants, include costs incurred for research and development and are expensed as incurred.
 
 The Company received royalty-bearing grants, from the Israeli Chief Scientist's Office ("OCS") for the purpose of partially funding research and development projects. The grants are recognized as a deduction from research and development costs or capitalized costs on the basis of costs incurred. See also note 10(b).
 
 Statement of ASC 985 (Formerly "SFAS No. 86") requires capitalization of certain software development, costs subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility. Based on the Company's product development process, technological feasibility is established upon completion of a working model.
 
 Research and development costs incurred in the process of developing product masters and the Company's TPS software library, integrated with the Company's test station, are charged to expenses as incurred. Costs incurred by the Company between completion of the working model and the point at which the product is ready for general release have been capitalized.

 m.
Income taxes:
 
 The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740 (Formerly: "SFAS 109"). This statement prescribes the use of the liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liability account balances are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax based assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company provides a valuation allowance, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to their estimated realizable value.
 
 On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted ASC 740-10 (Formerly "FIN 48"). ASC 740-10 contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions accounted for in accordance with ASC 740. The first step is to evaluate the tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that, on an evaluation of the technical merits, the tax position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes.
 
 The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The adoption of ASC 740-10 did not result in a change in the Company's accumulated deficit. The Company did not record any provision in connection with ASC 740-10 as of December 31, 2009 and 2010.
 
 n.
Severance pay:
 
 The Company's agreements with most of its employees are in accordance with section 14 of the Severance Pay Law -1963, under which the Company's contributions for severance pay shall be instead of severance compensation. Upon release of the policy to the employee, no additional liability exists between the parties regarding the matter of severance pay and no additional payments shall be made by the Company to the employee.
 
 The Company's liability for severance pay for the employees that are not under section 14 is calculated pursuant to Israel's Severance Pay Law, based on the most recent salary of the employees as of the balance sheet date less monthly deposits for insurance policies and/or pension funds. Employees are entitled to one month's salary for each year of employment or a portion thereof.
 
 The carrying value of deposited funds includes profits (losses) accumulated up to the balance sheet date. The deposited funds may be withdrawn only upon the fulfillment of the obligations pursuant to Israeli severance pay law or labor agreements.
 
 Severance expense recorded in the statement of operations is net of interest and other income accumulated in the deposits. Severance expense for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 amounted to $ 668, $ 433 and $ 505, respectively.

 o.
Fair value of financial instruments:
 
 The Company measures its financial instruments at fair value. 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. A three-tier fair value hierarchy is established as a basis for considering such assumptions and for inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:
 
 Level 1 -
inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.
 
 Level 2 -
inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
 Level 3 -
inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management's estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques.
 
 The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade receivables, other accounts receivable, bank credit and current maturities of long term loans, trade payables and other accounts payable approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.
 
 The fair value of the convertible note and long-term loans are estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current interest rates for loans of similar terms and maturities. The carrying amount of the convertible note and long-term loans approximate their fair value.
 
 p.
Concentrations of credit risk:
 
 Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade receivables and long-term receivables.

 NOTE 2:-SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
 
 The Company's cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are mainly held in U.S. dollars with major banks in Israel. Management believes that the financial institutions that hold the Company's investments are institutions with high credit standing, and accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to these investments.
 
 The Company's trade receivables are derived from sales to large and solid organizations located mainly in the United States, Asia, South America and Israel. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and to date has not experienced any material losses. An allowance for doubtful accounts is determined with respect to these amounts that the Company has determined to be doubtful of collection. The allowance is computed for specific debts and the collectability is determined based upon the Company's experience.
 
 The Company has no off-balance sheet credit risks.
 
 q.
Comprehensive income (loss):
 
 The Company accounts for comprehensive income (loss) in accordance with ASC 220 (Formerly "SFAS No. 130"). This statement establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general purpose financial statements. Comprehensive income (loss) generally represents all changes in shareholders' equity during the period except those resulting from investments by, or distributions to, stockholders. The other comprehensive income (loss) relates to gain and loss on foreign currency translation adjustments.
 
 r.
Warranty:
 
 In connection with the sale of its products, the Company provides product warranties for periods between one to two years. Based on past experience and engineering estimates, the liability from these warranties is de minimis as of December 31, 2009 and 2010.
 
 s.
Share-based compensation:
 
 At December 31, 2010, the Company has one stock-based employee compensation plan, which is described in Note 11b.
 
 The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under ASC 718, "Compensation – Stock Compensation", (formerly SFAS No. 123(R)), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense based on estimated fair values for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors.

 NOTE 2:-SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
 
 ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of equity-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods in the Company's statements of operations.
 
 The Company estimates the fair value of stock options on the grant date using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions. No options were granted in 2009 and 2010:
 
 Year ended

December 31,2008Expected term

Three yearsDividend yield


0
%Expected volatility


53
%Risk-free interest rate


2.7
%
 
 The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on the yield from U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with an equivalent term as of the Company's employee stock options. The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company's historical and expectation of future dividend payouts and may be subject to changes in the future. The expected term of the options represents the period of time that the options are expected to be outstanding and is based on the simplified method, as allowed under ASC 718-10, which is the midpoint between the vesting dates and end of the contractual term of the option. The Company used its historical stock price movement over the most recent periods ended on the date of grant equal to the expected option term for calculating volatility in accordance with ASC 718. Estimated forfeitures are based on actual historical pre-vesting forfeitures.
 
 t.
Revenue recognition:
 
 The Company generates revenues mainly from the sale of products and from long-term fixed price contracts of defense electronics: Data Recording & Management, Inertial Navigation Systems, UAV Avionics and avionics solutions and their supporting ground systems. In addition, the Company leases automated test equipment to customers and provides manufacturing, development and product support services.

 NOTE 2:-SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
 
 Product revenues:
 
 The Company recognizes revenue from sales of products in accordance with ASC 605-10, "Revenue Recognition" (Formerly "Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 104"). Product revenue is recognized when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the fee is fixed or determinable, delivery of the product to the customer has occurred and the Company has determined that collection of the fee is probable. If the product requires specific customer acceptance, revenue is deferred until customer acceptance occurs or the acceptance provisions lapse, unless the Company can objectively and reliably demonstrate that the criteria specified in the acceptance provisions are satisfied.
 
 Revenues from long-term fixed price contracts which provide a substantial level of development efforts are recognized in accordance with ASC 605-35 (Formerly "Statement of Position No. 81-1"), using contract accounting on a percentage of completion method in accordance with the "Input Method". The percentage of completion is determined based on the ratio of actual costs incurred to total costs estimated to be incurred over the duration of the contract. With regard to contracts for which a loss is anticipated, a provision is made for the entire amount of the estimated loss at the time such loss becomes evident. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the provision for estimated losses identified is $ 68 and $ 170, respectively.
 
 Revenues under long-term fixed-price contracts that involve both development and production are recorded using the cost-to-cost method (development phase) and units-of-delivery method (production phase) as applicable to each phase of the contract, as the basis to measure progress toward completion.
 
 Estimated gross profit or loss from long-term contracts may change due to changes in estimates resulting from differences between actual performance and original forecasts. Such changes in estimated gross profit or loss are recorded in results of operations when they are reasonably determinable by management, on a cumulative catch-up basis.
 
 The Company believes that the use of the percentage of completion method is appropriate as the Company has the ability to make reasonably dependable estimates of the extent of progress towards completion, contract revenues and contract costs. In addition, contracts executed include provisions that clearly specify the enforceable rights regarding services to be provided and received by the parties to the contracts, the consideration to be exchanged and the manner and terms of settlement. In all cases, the Company expects to perform its contractual obligations and its customers are expected to satisfy their obligations under the contract.

 NOTE 2:-SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
 
 Revenues from certain arrangements may include multiple elements within a single contract. The Company's accounting policy complies with the provisions of ASC 605-25 (Formerly "Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 00-21"), relating to the separation of multiple deliverables into individual accounting units with determinable fair value. The Company's arrangements are accounted for as separate units of accounting when it is possible to determine objective and reliable evidence of fair value of the undelivered elements in order to separate the fees among the elements. Revenue is recognized when the element is delivered and all other criteria for revenue recognition are met.
 
 Servicerevenues:
 
 Revenues from services are recognized as the services are performed.
 
 Revenue under operating leases of equipment is recognized ratably over the lease period, in accordance with ASC 840 (Formerly "SFAS No. 13").
 
 Deferred revenues include unearned amounts received from customers, but not yet recognized as revenues.
 
 u.
Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share:
 
 Basic net income (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of Ordinary shares outstanding during each year. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of Ordinary shares outstanding during each year, plus dilutive potential Ordinary shares considered outstanding during the year in accordance with ASC 260 (Formerly "SFAS No. 128"). For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, all the outstanding options, convertible notes and warrants have been excluded from the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share, since their effect is anti-dilutive.
 
 v.
Derivatives and hedging:
 
 The Company accounts for derivatives and hedging based on ASC 815 ("SFAS No. 133"), as amended and related Interpretations. ASC 815 requires the Company to recognize all derivatives on the balances sheet at fair value. If a derivative meets the definition of a hedge and is so designated, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings (for cash flow hedge transactions) or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings (for fair value hedge transactions).

 NOTE 2:-SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
 
 The ineffective portion of a derivative's change in fair value is recognized in earnings. If a derivative does not meet the definition of a hedge, the changes in the fair value are included in earnings. Cash flows related to such hedges are classified as operating activities.
 
 The Company enters into forward exchange contracts in order to limit the exposure to exchange rate fluctuation associated with payroll expenses mainly incurred in NIS. Any gain or loss derived from such instruments, which are not defined as hedging instruments, is recognized immediately as financial expenses, net.
 
 As of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the fair value of the outstanding forward contracts is $ 28 which was recorded in other receivables against financial income and $ 14 which was recorded in accruals against financial expenses,.
 
 w.
Recently issued accounting standards:
 
 In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, 2009-13, "Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements - a Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force". This update provides application guidance on whether multiple deliverables exist, how the deliverables should be separated and how the consideration should be allocated to one or more units of accounting. This update establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. The selling price used for each deliverable will be based on vendor-specific objective evidence, if available, third-party evidence if vendor-specific objective evidence is not available, or estimated selling price if neither vendor-specific nor third-party evidence is available.
 
 The Company may elect to adopt the update prospectively, to new or materially modified arrangements beginning on the adoption date, or retrospectively, for all periods presented. The Company applies this guidance prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified after January 1, 2011. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this new guidance on its financial statements, but does not expect it to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

 NOTE 10:-     COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
 
 a.
As of December 31, 2010, the Company was a party to various legal proceedings, including the following:
 
 Since 1998 the Company was engaged in litigation with Mr. Haim Nissenson, its former president and chief executive officer in connection with payments that were allegedly due to him in connection with his employment with the Company and the termination thereof (Case No. 3/4074/98 H. Nissenson v. RADA Electronic Industries Ltd. and others, in the Regional Labor Court in Tel Aviv). In addition, Mr. Nissenson also sought a permanent injunction and declarative relief, stating that a personal loan that was provided to him by the Company had been forgiven.
 
 In August 2000, the Company filed a claim against Mr. Nissenson in the Regional Labor Court in Tel Aviv (Case No. 7049/00 RADA Electronic Industries Ltd. v. Nissenson.) for the repayment of the loan granted to Mr. Nissenson in the amount of NIS 2.0 million that allegedly was forgiven by the Company in Mr. Nissenson's retirement agreement, as mentioned above.  In February 2009, the Regional Labor Court determined that Mr., Nissenson is required to repay the $485 of loans he received from the Company together with accrued interest and linkage differences as provided by law. The Regional Court also denied all of Mr. Nissenson's claims and allegations against Mr. Herzle Bodinger, the current Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, as well as substantially all of Mr. Nissenson's claims against the Company. The Regional Court found that the retirement agreement between the Company and Mr. Nissenson is null and void since it was not legally approved, tainted with misleading information provided by Mr. Nissenson and included provisions that were not properly approved by the Company's Board of Directors. Mr. Nissenson appealed to the National Labor Court in Jerusalem and on January 2010, the National Court approved the arrangement between the parties according to which the judgment of the Regional Labor Court remains in full force and effect. In addition, based on the authorization given to the National Labor Court by the parties to rule by way of settlement, the National Court has determined that the Company shall pay Mr. Nissenson, on account of social benefits due to him in connection with his employment as our CEO, a gross amount of NIS 760,000 ($ 201). The decision of the National Labor Court brought to an end the dispute between Mr. H. Nissenson and the Company and any proceeding connected thereto.
 
 b.
The Company's research and development efforts have been partially financed through royalty-bearing programs sponsored by the OCS. In return for the OCS's participation, the Company is committed to pay royalties at a rate ranging from 3% to 5% of sales of the products whose research was supported by grants received from the OCS, up to 100% of the amount of such participation received linked to the U.S. dollar. The obligation to pay these royalties is contingent on actual sales of the products and in the absence of such sales, no payment is required. The Company's total obligation for royalties, net of royalties paid or accrued, totaled approximately $ 810 as of December 31, 2010. The totalamount of royalties charged to operations for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 was approximately $ 6, $ 14 and $ 13, respectively.

 NOTE 11:-SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY (Cont.)
 
 The exercise price of an option granted to an employee may not be less than 60% of the fair market value of the Ordinary shares on the date of grant of the option. The exercise price of an option granted to a non-employee director or consultant may not be less than 80% of the fair market value of the Ordinary shares on the date of grant of the option. Any options that are cancelled or forfeited before expiration become available for future grants. At December 31, 2010, 341,832 options were available for grant under the Plan.  Upon exercise of options by employees, the Company satisfies the requirements by issuing newly issued shares.
 
 In May 2008, the Company granted under Plan to four of its directors options to purchase total options of 261,000 ordinary shares at an exercise price of $ 2.14 per share in exchange for 258,000 options that were granted to those directors in 2003 at an exercise price of $ 4.02 per share. The new option grants were fully vested and there was no compensation expense related to those options.The options will vest as follows: 25% of the options granted to each of our directors will vest on January 1, 2009, additional 40% shall vest in four equal installments of 10% each on the last date of each calendar quarter commencing on March 31, 2009 and the balance of 35% shall vest in two equal installments of 17.5% each on March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010, respectively.
 
 The Company accounted for the exchange of options under the provisions of ASC 718 (Formerly "SFAS 123(R)") as a modification. A modification to the terms of an award should be treated as an exchange of the original award for a new award with total compensation cost equal to the grant-date fair value of the original award plus the incremental value measured at the same date. Under ASC 718, the calculation of the incremental value is based on the excess of the fair value of the (modified) award based on current circumstances over the fair value of the original option measured immediately before its terms are modified based on current circumstances. That is, the original (pre-modification) option will be valued based on current assumptions, without regard to the assumptions made on the grant date. As a result of the modification, the Company will record incremental compensation cost of $ 123 to be recognized over the new service period beginning on the modification date. In 2010 and 2009, $ 31 and $ 45 were recorded, respectively, due to this modification.

Warrants:
 
 As of December 31, 2010, warrants to purchase 1,578,947 Ordinary shares were outstanding.
 
 These warrants were issued on December 10, 2007 in connection with the issuance of a convertible note of $ 3,000 to a shareholder, at an exercise price of $ 2.38 per share for a term of five years. The convertible note bears interest at a rate of six-month LIBOR plus 3.5%. The principal was originally due in October 2010 and the interest was payable in quarterly installments until October 2010. The notes are convertible to Ordinary shares at a conversion price of $ 2.09 per share. The consideration was allocated based on the relative fair values of the convertible loan and warrants in accordance with ASC 470. In connection with the issuance of the convertible note, $ 568 was recorded as a beneficial conversion feature in accordance with ASC 470-20 (Formerly "EITF 00-27"). The total amount of the discount on the convertible note as a result of the allocated proceeds attributable to the warrants and the beneficial conversion feature amounting to $ 1,410, was amortized over the term of the note using the interest method. The fair value of the warrants was based on the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model, assuming a risk free interest of 3.49%, a volatility factor of 47%, dividend yield of 0% and contractual life of five years.
 
 In October 2010, the maturity date of the $ 3,000 convertible note was extended to October 2012 and the expiration date of the warrants was extended to October 2014. The convertible note bears interest at a rate of six-month LIBOR plus 3.5% which was 3.96% at December 31, 2010. The transaction was accounted for as a modification of debt accordance with ASC 470-50. As a result, the Company recorded a discount on the convertible note of $ 451 due the modification. The discount will be amortized over the term of the extended note using the interest method.

 NOTE 12:- TAXES ON INCOME
 
 a.
Tax benefits under the Law for the Encouragement of Industry (Taxes), 1969:
 
 The Company is an "Industrial Company" under the Law for the Encouragement of Industry. The principal benefit from the above law is the deduction of expenses in connection with a public offering.
 
 b.
Tax rates applicable to income of companies in Israel:
 
 The corporate tax rates in Israel are as follows: 2008 - 27%, 2009 - 26%, 2010 - 25%.  Tax at a reduced rate of 25% applies on capital gains arising after January 1, 2003, instead of the regular tax rate. In July 2009, the Knesset (Israel's Parliament) passed the Law for Economic Efficiency (Amended Legislation for Implementing the Economic Plan for 2009 and 2010), which prescribes, among others, an additional gradual reduction in the rates of the Israeli corporate tax and real capital gains tax starting in 2011 to the following tax rates: 2011 - 24%, 2012 - 23%, 2013 - 22%, 2014 - 21%, 2015 - 20%, 2016 and thereafter - 18%.
 
 In December 2010, the Israeli Parliament passed the Law for Economic Efficiency for 2011 and 2012 (Amended Legislation), 2011, which prescribes, among other things, amendments in the Investment Law. The amendment became effective as of January 1, 2011. According to the amendment, the benefit tracks in the Investment Law were modified and a flat tax rate applies to the Company's entire preferred income. The Company will be able to apply (the waiver is non-recourse) the amendment and from then on it will be subject to the amended tax rates that are: 2011 and 2012 - 15%, 2013 and 2014 - 12.5% and in 2015 and thereafter - 12%.
 
 c.
As of December 31, 2010, the net operating tax loss carryforward relating to the Company in Israel amounted to approximately $ 62,000, including a carryforward capital loss amounting to approximately$ 3,700. Carryforward losses in Israel may be carried forward indefinitely and may be offset against future taxable income.
 
 As the Company believes that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets in respect of these carryforward losses amounting to approximately $ 11,100 will not be utilized, the Company recorded a valuation allowance for the entire balance of the deferred tax asset relating to the carryforward losses.
 
 d.
The main reconciling items between the statutory tax rate of the Company and the effective tax rate is the valuation allowance recorded in respect of the deferred tax assets relating to net operating loss carryforwards and other temporary differences due to the uncertainty of the realization of such tax assets.

 NOTE 16:-     SUBSEQUENT EVENT
 
 On December 15, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement for the sale of the company’s ownership interest in CACS to a Chinese company.  While this transaction was expected to be completed in 2011, it was subject to (i) the withdrawal of our local partner, Tianzhu Forest Development Co., from CACS, and (ii) the receipt of certain approvals from Chinese authorities. While these actions are underway, the purchaser has materially breached its obligations under the agreement, and the Company is currently assessing its legal rights under the agreement of sale.
