EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 20-F/A is being filed to amend Item 15 (Controls and
Proceedures) of the Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2008 of
Elbit Vision Systems Ltd. which was originally filed on July 15, 2009.

This Amendment is not intended to revise other information presented in our Annual Report
on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 as originally filed and all such
other information in the original filing, which remains unchanged. This Amendment does not
reflect events occurring after the filing of the original Annual Report on Form 20-F for
the year ended December 31, 2008 and does not modify or update the disclosure therein in
any way other than as required to reflect the amendments discussed above. For the
convenience of the reader, the document has been refiled in its entirety.

of similar import, identifies a statement as forward-looking. There can be no
assurance, however, that actual results will not differ materially from our expectations
or projections. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from our expectations or
projections include the risks and uncertainties relating to our business described in this
annual report in Item 3, Risk Factors.

# Risks Related to our
Business

We
have a history of losses and may not be profitable in the future.

Except
for 2005, in which we generated net income of $0.611 million, we have not generated net
income on an annual basis since 1997. We incurred net losses of $0.98 million, $5.9
million, $6.1 million $1.3 million and $7.5 million in 2003, 2004, 2006,
2007 and 2008, respectively.

We
believe that if we are unable to restructure our loans from Bank Leumi Le Israel and Bank
Hapoalim, our current assets, together with anticipated cash generated from operations
and available credit lines,  will
be insufficient to meet our cash requirements for working capital and capital expenditures
for twelve months from July 2009. In order to continue as a going concern, we may have to
sell additional equity or debt securities and reorganize our credit facilities, however
there is no certainty that we will
be successful in this, or complete it in a timely fashion. For more information on our
bank loans, see Item 4  Information on the Company Recent
Developments  Loans.

ScanMaster
is heavily dependent upon certain worldwide industries.

The
majority of our revenues are generated by our wholly owned subsidiary, ScanMaster Systems
(IRT) Ltd. and IRT ScanMaster Systems Inc., or ScanMaster. A significant portion of
ScanMasters revenues are generated by its sales of non-destructive inspection
systems to the aeronautics industry, providing inspection solutions for aircraft engine
forgings, and aerospace structural elements, manufactured from metal and composite
materials. As such, we are substantially dependent upon the strength of these worldwide
industries, and in particular upon the need by manufacturers to make continuing capital
investments in systems and products, such as those marketed and sold by us, for use in
their production and manufacturing processes. This need is a reflection, in turn, of the
worldwide level of demand for the final products produced by the manufacturers to which we
provide our inspection products. Demand for such products is normally a function of the
prevailing global or regional economic environment and has been negatively affected by the
current global economic downturn which may continue to materially adversely affect the
demand for our products.

We
intend to continue pursuing businesses to acquire thus expanding our business into new
markets.

In
the past, the majority of our revenues were generated from sales to the textile industry,
which proved to be insufficient to generate significant net profits. As demonstrated by
our penetration into the ultrasonic industrial inspection industries, our business
strategy includes selective expansion into other automated inspection applications through
the acquisition of additional businesses and technologies. Our future success and growth
depends upon our successful penetration of these new markets.

We
plan to continue to seek opportunities to further expand our product line, customer base
and technical talent through other acquisitions in the automated inspection industry.
Acquisitions inherently involve numerous risks, such as the diversion of managements
attention from other operational matters, the inability to realize expected synergies
resulting from the acquisition, failure to commercialize purchased technologies, and the
impairment of acquired intangible assets resulting from technological obsolescence or
lower-than-expected cash flows from the acquired assets. The inability to effectively
manage these risks could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

More
specifically, should we fail to develop products which provide the necessary standards of
inspection, then given the capital investments that we have made in order to penetrate
these new markets, such failure could adversely affect our longer-term plans for expanding
our business and may even cause the cessation of our business. For further information,
see Item 4, Information on the Company  History and Development of the
Companyand Item 10, Additional Information  Material
Contracts.

We
rely on a small number of customers for a significant portion of our revenues.

Although
the composition of our customers changes from year to year, we expect to continue to
receive a significant portion of our revenue from a limited number of customers. In each
of 2006, 2007, 2008 none of our customers in any area of business accounted for more than
10% of our net sales. We expect that sales of our products to relatively few customers
could continue to account for a substantial percentage of our net sales in the foreseeable
future. There can be no assurance that we will be able to retain these key customers or
that such customers will not cancel purchase orders, reschedule, or decrease their level
of purchases. Loss or cancellation of business to these customers could seriously harm our
financial results and business.

We
depend on a limited group of subcontractors and suppliers.

Certain
components and subassemblies included in our products are obtained from a single source or
a limited group of suppliers and subcontractors. Our reliance on a single or a limited
group of suppliers could result in an inability to obtain adequate supplies of certain
components, a reduction in control over pricing and the timely delivery of components, as
well as potentially having an adverse affect on the results of our operations and our
relations with our customers. There can be no assurance that supplies will be available to
us on an acceptable basis. Inability to obtain adequate supplies of components or to
manufacture such components internally could have an adverse effect on us. Additionally, a
significant increase in the price of one or more of these components or subassemblies
could negatively affect the results of our operations.

The
sales cycle for our products is lengthy and there is no guaranty of resulting sales.

The
marketing and sales cycle for our systems in all of the industries in which our various
products are sold, especially in recently penetrated markets and in new applications, is
lengthy, and can last as long as three years. Even in existing markets, due to the $10,000
to $1,500,000 price range for our systems and possibly significant ancillary costs
required for a customer to install the system, the purchase of a system can constitute a
substantial capital investment for a customer (which may need more than one machine for
its particular proposed application), requiring lengthy consideration and evaluation. In
particular, the product must provide a potential customer with a high degree of assurance
that it will meet the customers needs, successfully interface with the
customers own manufacturing, production or processing system, and have minimal
warranty, safety and service problems. Accordingly, the time lag from initiation of
marketing efforts to final sales can be lengthy and expensive, and there is no guaranty
that the expenditure of significant time and resources will result in sales.

Competition
in the automated inspection industry is intense.

Several
companies working with the textile industry have developed products with similar visual
inspection or quality monitoring capabilities, such as BarcoVision and Cognex. In
addition, a number of companies have developed products with non-destructive inspection
capabilities, such as Krautkramer, Matec SDI, RD Tech, Sonix, Aims and Panametrics.

It
is possible that systems developed by these or other future competitors will prove more
effective than our systems and that potential customers will prefer them. The competition
for the development and sale of advanced automated inspection systems and non-destructive
inspection systems in other industries and for other applications is also intense. To the
extent that providers of automated inspection systems may choose to focus on or develop
advanced automated inspection technology for the industries for which we attempt to
develop products, we could face significant competition in the future. If we are unable to
maintain our competitive advantage in the industries in which we operate or are unable to
convince potential customers of the superiority of our products in markets in which we
seek to compete, our business may be seriously harmed. There can be no assurance that our
potential competitors will not develop products that render our products less competitive.
Our potential competitors operating in other industries may be more established, benefit
from greater market recognition and have greater financial, production and marketing
resources than we have.

Fluctuations
in the market may create periodic rises in expenses or falls in demand that would be
difficult to offset.

Historically,
our highest level of net sales has been in the fourth quarter of each year. Nevertheless,
we have experienced and may in the future experience significant fluctuations in revenues
and operating results from quarter to quarter as a result of a number of factors, many of
which are outside our control. These factors include the timing of significant orders and
shipments, product mix, delays in shipment, installation and/or acceptance of systems,
capital spending patterns of customers, customer manufacturing cycles, trade shows,
anticipated new product introductions by us or by others, competition and pricing, new
product introductions by us or our competitors, the timing of research and development
expenditures, expansion of marketing and support operations, changes in material costs,
production or quality problems, currency fluctuations, disruptions in sources of supply,
regulatory changes and general economic conditions. Moreover, due to the relatively fixed
nature of many of our costs, including personnel and facilities costs, we would not be
able to reduce costs in any quarter to compensate for any unexpected shortfall in net
sales, and such a shortfall would have a proportionately greater impact on our results of
operations for that quarter. For example, a significant portion of our quarterly net sales
depends upon sales of a relatively small number of high-priced systems. Thus, changes in
the number of systems shipped in any given quarter can produce substantial fluctuations in
net sales, gross profits and net income from quarter to quarter. These or other factors
could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.

The
long payment cycle in our industry may have a negative effect on our cash flow.

As
is the case with many suppliers of equipment to the automotive, transportation, metal and
textile industries, we often receive a deposit upon receipt of an order, a partial payment
upon delivery or installation and final payment pursuant to negotiated payment terms or
final payment after a trial and/or acceptance period for systems sold subject to a trial
period. The time required for installation and trial varies from customer to customer and
may be delayed by a variety of factors, including the customers production cycle,
integration of systems into the customers manufacturing process, required
modifications to the customers production line and the availability of qualified
technicians to monitor system operations. For systems sold without an evaluation period,
revenue is recognized immediately upon installation of the system. For systems sold
subject to a trial period, revenue is recognized upon customer acceptance. The length of
the customers trial and acceptance period generally varies from one to twelve months
after installation. If we are unable to consistently generate sustained positive cash flow
from operations, we must rely on debt or equity financing. For further information, see
Item 5, Operating and Financial Review and Prospects  Trend Information.

We
cannot guarantee market acceptance of our products.

Our
success depends on the acceptance of our products by existing and new customers. Market
acceptance of our automated visual and ultrasonic inspection and quality monitoring
systems will depend, in large part, on the pricing of the products and our ability to
demonstrate the cost and quality advantages of our systems over human visual inspection
and quality monitoring. There can be no assurance that we will be able to market our
products successfully or that any of our current or future products will be accepted in
the marketplace.

We
may have flaws in the design or manufacture of our products.

If
flaws in either the design or manufacture of our products were to occur, including those
products of the businesses we have recently acquired, we could experience a rate of
failure in our products that could result in significant delays in shipment and material
repair or replacement costs. While we engage in extensive product quality programs and
processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of our component
suppliers and contract manufacturers, there can be no assurance that these actions will be
sufficient to avoid a product failure rate that results in substantial delays in shipment,
significant repair or replacement costs, or potential damage to our reputation, any of
which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

Our
international sales could be adversely affected by changes in domestic and foreign
regulations.

Our
systems have been sold primarily in the United States, Europe and the Far East. We are
subject to the risks inherent in international business activities. These risks include
unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, compliance with a wide variety of foreign
laws and regulations, import restrictions, tariffs and other trade barriers, staffing and
managing foreign operations, transportation delays and seasonal reduction of business
activities. Additionally, if for any reason exchange or price controls or other
restrictions on conversion of foreign currencies were imposed, our business could be
adversely affected.

General
economic conditions may adversely affect the Company's results.

Current
uncertainty in global economic conditions, including the recent disruption in financial
and credit markets, pose a risk to the overall economy that could impact demand for our
and our customers products, as well as our ability to manage commercial
relationships with our customers, suppliers and creditors. If the current situation
continues or worsens, our business could be negatively impacted, including such areas as
reduced demand for our products and services, or supplier or customer disruptions, which
could reduce our revenues or our ability to collect our accounts receivable and have a
material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We
may not be successful in keeping pace with the rapid technological changes that
characterize our industries.

The
technology incorporated in automated inspection and quality monitoring systems is
characterized by rapid changes. Moreover, the emergence of new technologies can rapidly
render existing products obsolete and unmarketable. Our ability to continue to anticipate
changes in technology and industry standards, and successfully develop and introduce new
and enhanced products that can gain market acceptance on a timely basis will be a critical
factor in our ability to grow and to remain competitive. In addition, we intend to
diversify our business by developing new products based on our own technology. There can
be no assurance that we will timely or successfully complete the development of new or
enhanced products or successfully manage transitions from one product release to the next,
or that our future products will achieve market acceptance.

We
depend on a limited number of key personnel who would be difficult to replace.

Our
success depends in a large part on certain of our personnel, including our sales
representatives, executive, research and development personnel and our technical staff,
the loss of the services of whom would have a material adverse effect on us. There is
considerable competition for the services of such personnel. There can be no assurance
that we will be able either to retain our current personnel or acquire additional
qualified personnel as and when needed.

We
may not be able to protect our intellectual proprietary rights.

We
rely primarily upon a combination of trademark, copyright, know-how, trade secrets and
contractual restrictions to protect our intellectual property rights. In addition, our
employees who have access to confidential information are required to sign
confidentiality and invention assignment agreements. Certain elements of our technology
are licensed from Dr. Ilan Tamches. We have certain exclusive rights to this technology
with respect to the textile industry and certain non-exclusive rights with respect to
other industries. Since the third quarter of 2006 we have not used this technology.
Neither we, nor, to our knowledge, Dr. Tamches, have any patents or patent applications
pending with respect to this technology. We do have a registered patent in France and
patent applications pending in Israel with respect to certain technology incorporated in
the video cameras used by our systems. We believe that such measures provide only limited
protection of our proprietary information, and there is no assurance that our
confidentiality and non-competition agreements will be enforceable and that our
proprietary technology will remain a secret, or that others will not develop similar
technology and use this technology to compete with us. Despite our efforts to protect our
proprietary rights, former employees and other unauthorized parties may attempt to copy
aspects of our products or to obtain and use information that we regard as
proprietary. For more information, see Item 4, Information on the  Company
 Business Overview  Intellectual Property Rights for Textile Industry.

We
may become involved in litigation.

From
time to time, we may be subject to various claims and lawsuits by competitors, customers,
or other parties arising in the ordinary course of business. Such matters can be
time-consuming, divert managements attention and resources, and cause us to incur
significant expenses. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the results of any of
these actions will not have a material adverse effect on our operating results.
Additionally, significant and protracted litigation may be necessary to protect our
intellectual property rights, to determine the scope of the proprietary rights of others
or to defend against claims of infringement, regardless of whether the claims are valid.
For more information, see Item 8,Financial Information 
Litigation.

# Risks Related to Our
Ordinary Shares

We
may require additional financing.

Mivtach
Shamir, our controlling shareholder has tentatively agreed to invest an aggregate amount
of $1.8 million as a part of a private placement or rights offering, of which NIS
1,982,000 (approximately $492,000) Mivtach Shamir provided to us by way of a convertible
loan during 2009. The terms of the loan conversion and repayment of the remaining
investment amount are currently being negotiated by Mivtach Shamir and our management. The
remaining investment amount and the conversion of the loan is contingent upon Bank Leumi
Le Israel and Bank Hapoalim agreeing to restructure our debt to them such that the
repayment of the principal on the loans will be frozen until December 31, 2011. If we do
not receive such approval from the banks and we fail to receive the balance of the $1.8
million from Mivtach Shamir, we believe that our current assets, together with anticipated
cash generated from operations and available credit lines, will be insufficient to meet
our cash requirements for working capital and capital expenditures for twelve months from
July 2009.

On
June 21, 2007, we executed an agreement intended to amend our agreement with Mivtach
Shamir, dated February 21, 2006, or the Mivtach Agreement. The new agreement, or the
Amendment Agreement, which was approved by our shareholders in a meeting of our
shareholders held on July 31, 2007, was executed between us and M.S.N.D. Real Estate
Holdings Ltd., or M.S.N.D, a wholly owned subsidiary of Mivtach Shamir, to which Mivtach
Shamir had assigned their right to receive shares from us under the Mivtach Agreement.
Pursuant to the Amendment Agreement, the terms of the Mivtach Agreement and the loan
therein, were amended, such that in consideration for M.S.N.D.s undertaking to
convert $3,000,000 by no later than August 1, 2007, (a) M.S.N.D was issued 9,523,810 of
our ordinary shares; and (b) M.S.N.D received a 4-year warrant to purchase 2,380,952 of
our ordinary shares at an exercise price of $0.45 per share. M.S.N.D also agreed to waive
its rights to exercise warrants into at least 3,000,000 ordinary shares issuable under the
Mivtach Agreement, agreeing to exercise warrants into no more than 1,000,000 ordinary
shares issuable under the Mivtach Agreement, which warrants expired subsequently on
February 21, 2008. Following the Amendment Agreement M.S.N.D has become a holder of more
than 25% of our issued and outstanding share capital. We also entered into a registration
rights agreement with M.S.N.D., pursuant to which we filed a Registration Statement on
Form F-1 on July 31, 2007, covering all the ordinary shares and ordinary shares underlying
the warrants issuable to M.S.N.D pursuant to the Amendment.

In
addition, on June 21, 2007, following the approval of our audit committee and board of
directors, we executed with Elbit Ltd., or Elbit, an agreement, or the Elbit Agreement.
This agreement was approved by our shareholders in a meeting of our shareholders held on
July 31, 2007. Pursuant to the Elbit Agreement, Elbit (i) converted an existing loan to us
in the amount of $470,000 (including accrued interest up until March 31, 2007) into
1,492,063 of our ordinary shares, at a price of $0.315 per share; and (ii) invested in us
$250,000 in consideration for 793,651 of our ordinary shares at a price of $0.315 per
share and received a 4-year warrant to purchase 396,825 of our ordinary shares at an
exercise price of $0.45 per share. Within the framework of the Elbit Agreement, we have
entered into a registration rights agreement, pursuant to which we filed a Registration
Statement on Form F-1 on July 31, 2007, covering all of the ordinary shares and ordinary
shares underlying the warrants issued pursuant to the Elbit Agreement.

14

Additionally,
in April 2007 we executed a share purchase agreement, or the April Investment, which was
consummated with a series of Israeli institutional investors over the period of April to
July 2007, for the purchase of 9,465,544 of our ordinary shares for $0.315 per share, or
an aggregate price of $2,981,646. Pursuant to the transaction, the investors were also
issued warrants to purchase 4,732,772 of our ordinary shares at an exercise price per
share of $0.45, exercisable for a period of 4 years, 163,178 of which were exercised
during 2008. On July 31, 2007, we filed a Registration Statement on Form F-1, covering all
of the ordinary shares and ordinary shares underlying the warrants issuable to the
institutional investors pursuant to the April Investment.

Additionally,
in August 2005 and February 2006, we and ScanMaster received a credit line for the
aggregate amount of $2,000,000 from Mizrahi Tefahot Bank Ltd., or Mizrahi, which
terminated on June 30, 2007. The credit line was secured by a first ranking floating
charge on all our assets and all the assets of ScanMaster. We also granted Mizrahi a
warrant to purchase up to 571,429 of our ordinary shares, at an exercise price of $0.77
per share, which was later reduced by our board to $0.50 per share. This warrant is
exercisable until September 8, 2009. We and ScanMaster also received a credit line from
Bank Leumi for the aggregate amount of $2,500,000. The credit line is secured by a first
ranking floating charge on all our assets and all the assets of ScanMaster. For more
information, see Item 7,Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions
 Related Party Transactions.

Additionally,
at the end of March 2009, following the approval of our audit committee and board of
directors, we entered into loan agreements with each of Bank Hapoalim and Bank Leumi Le
Israel for the aggregate sum of $600,000 ($300,000 per bank). For more information, see
Item 4,Information on the Company  Recent Developments.

We believe that if we are unable to
restructure our loans from Bank Leumi Le Israel and Bank Hapoalim, we will not receive the
balance of the proposed investment of $1.8 million from Mivtach Shamir, and our current
assets, together with anticipated cash generated from operations and available credit
lines, will be insufficient to meet our cash requirements for working capital and capital
expenditures for twelve months from July 2009. In order to continue as a going concern, we
may sell additional equity or debt securities and seek to obtain additional financing. We
may not, however, be able to obtain additional financing on terms satisfactory to us, if
at all. In addition, given the existing potential for significant dilution in light of the
large number of outstanding convertible securities as well as the large number of our
ordinary shares we have recently registered or have an obligation to register, our ability
to complete additional debt or equity financing may be very limited.

15

The
large number of shares available for future sale could adversely affect the price of our
ordinary shares

As
of May 31, 2009, 50,988,701 of our shares were outstanding.

In addition,
in 2005, we issued David Gal, our former CEO and chairman of the board, options to
purchase up to 600,000 of our ordinary shares at an exercise price of $0.50 per share. One
third of the options vested on December 31, 2006, since which time 2.8% of the total
shares subject to the option are vesting on a monthly basis. The vesting of the options
will be subject to Mr. Gal serving as the chairman of our board of directors on the
relevant vesting date, and he shall be entitled to exercise the options up to 5 years
after the options have vested. In addition, 4,540,352 of our ordinary shares are currently
issuable to our present and former employees, directors and consultants upon the exercise
of options granted pursuant to our 1996, 2000, 2003 and 2006 employee option plans, with
varying exercise prices, ranging between $0.15 per share and $1.68 per ordinary share.

Additionally,
in the event that Mivtach Shamir completes its aggregate investment of $1.8 million and
converts its convertible loan with us, additional ordinary shares will be issued to
Mivtach Shamir.

In
addition, pursuant to the Amendment Agreement, 2,380,952 of our ordinary shares are
issuable to M.S.N.D. upon the exercise of a warrant, with an exercise price of $0.45 per
share, exercisable for a period of 4 years. There is an outstanding Registration Statement
on Form F-1 covering all of these ordinary shares and the ordinary shares underlying the
warrants. During September of 2008, M.S.N.D transferred the right to exercise 1,380,000
ordinary shares covered by this warrant to David Gal.

In
addition, in consideration for the acquisition of ScanMaster we paid ScanMasters
former shareholders $3 million in cash and agreed to issue them 7,414,213 of our ordinary
shares, of which 4,044,834 are currently held in escrow and are eligible for release.
2,939,192 of these shares were sold to M.S.N.D., as part of an agreement between some of
ScanMasters former shareholders and Mivtach Shamir. In addition, 800,000 ordinary
shares have been issued to Maaragim Enterprises Ltd, or Maaragim, in
connection with the acquisition of Panoptes, and we granted Mizrahi a warrant to purchase
up to 571,429 of our ordinary shares, at an exercise price of $0.77 per share, which our
board consented to reduce to $0.5 per share, in November 2006. Assuming the full exercise
of the warrant, M.S.N.D. will hold approximately 25.3% of our share capital. Furthermore,
under the Elbit Agreement, we also granted warrants to purchase 396,825 of our ordinary
shares. There is an outstanding Registration Statement on Form F-1, covering all of these
ordinary shares and ordinary shares underlying the warrants issued or issuable to Elbit.
Additionally, under the April Investment 4,732,772 of our ordinary shares are issuable to
Israeli Investors upon the exercise of warrants, and are covered by an outstanding
Registration Statement on Form F-1.

Consequently,
the following securities are registered for re-sale:

| | (a) | 5,099,911
ordinary shares issued under certain private placement investments                entered
into in 2003 and 2004;
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (b) | 7,050,869
ordinary shares issuable to employees under 1996, 2000, 2003 and 2006
               employee option plans;
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (c) | 4,475,021
ordinary shares for ScanMasters former shareholders;
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------

| | (d) | 9,523,810 ordinary shares issued upon the conversion of a convertible loan, as
          amended by Amendment Agreement, and 2,380,952 shares to be issued to M.S.N.D.
          upon exercise of the warrant pursuant to the Amendment Agreement;
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (e) | 2,647,643 ordinary shares held by Elbit;
| | --- | ----------------------------------------

| | (f) | 2,285,714 ordinary shares issued under the Elbit Agreement, and 396,825 shares
          to be issued to Elbit upon exercise of its warrant;
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (g) | 9,465,544 ordinary shares issued under the April Investment as well as 4,732,772
          shares to be issued upon exercise of the warrants issued to Israeli
          institutional investors;
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (h) | 571,429
ordinary shares to be issued to Mizrahi upon exercise of its warrant;                and
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (i) | 800,000
ordinary shares for Maaragim.
| | --- | --------------------------------------

All
of these securities are registered for resale, and are not subject to any contractual
restrictions on resale. Future resale of any of these shares, or the anticipation of such
sales, could cause an increase or an anticipated increase of the number of our shares in
the market and therefore could adversely affect the market price of our ordinary shares
and materially impair our future ability to raise capital through an offering of equity
securities and could result in increased volatility in the price of our shares.

Our
ordinary shares may be affected by limited trading volume and may fluctuate significantly
in price.

Our
ordinary shares are traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board. Trading in our ordinary
shares has been limited and there can be no assurance that an active trading market for
our ordinary shares will develop. As a result, this could adversely affect our
shareholders ability to sell our ordinary shares in short time periods, or possibly
at all. Thinly traded ordinary shares can be more volatile than ordinary shares traded in
an active public market. The average daily trading volume of our ordinary shares in April
2009 was 25,525 shares. The high and low bid price of our ordinary shares for the last two
years has been $0.07 and $0.54, respectively. Our ordinary shares have experienced, and
are likely to experience in the future, significant price and volume fluctuations, which
could adversely affect the market price of our ordinary shares without regard to our
operating performance.

17

Our
Ordinary Shares are deemed to be Penny Stock which may make it more difficult
for investors to sell their shares due to suitability requirements.

Our ordinary shares are deemed to be
penny stock as that term is defined in Rule 3a51-1 promulgated under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Penny stocks are:

| | With
a price of less than $5.00 per share;
|- | ------------------------------------------

| | That
are not traded on a "recognized" national exchange;
|- | --------------------------------------------------------

| | Whose
prices are not quoted on the NASDAQ automated quotation system; or
|- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | In
issuers with net tangible assets less than $2.0 million (if the issuer has been in
continuous operation for at least three years) or $5.0 million (if in continuous
operation for less than three years), or with average revenues of less than $6.0 million
for the last three years.
|- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Broker/dealers
dealing in penny stocks are required to provide potential investors with a document
disclosing the risks of penny stocks. Moreover, broker/dealers are required to determine
whether an investment in a penny stock is a suitable investment for a prospective
investor. These requirements may reduce the potential market for our ordinary shares by
reducing the number of potential investors. This may make it more difficult for our
shareholders to sell shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them. This could
cause our share price to decline.

Our
ordinary shares are currently traded on the OTC Bulletin Board and may be difficult to
buy and sell.

On
November 19, 2003, our ordinary shares were delisted from The Nasdaq SmallCap Market and
are now traded on the OTC Bulletin Board as a result of our failure to comply with the
$2.5 million minimum shareholder equity requirement. Consequently, selling and buying our
securities has become more difficult because of delays in the timing of transactions and
in obtaining accurate quotations. Furthermore, broker-dealers are subject to an SEC rule
that imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell low-priced
securities to persons other than established customers and institutional accredited
investors. For transactions covered by this rule, a broker-dealer must make a special
suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchasers written
agreement to the transaction prior to sale. These factors may affect the ability of
broker-dealers to sell our ordinary shares and of shareholders to sell our ordinary shares
in the secondary market and in turn could result in lower prices and larger spreads in the
bid and ask prices for our ordinary shares than might otherwise be obtained. For more
information, see Item 4, Information on the Company  History and
Development of the Company and Item 9, The Offer and Listing 
Market and Share Price History.

Our
results are affected by volatility in the securities markets.

Due
to the current downturn in the world economy which began in 2008, the securities
markets in general have experienced increased volatility, which has particularly affected
the market prices of equity securities of many hi-tech companies, including companies that
have a significant presence in Israel. Although the volatility of these companies
securities has often been unrelated to their operating performance, they, and particularly
those in the fields of communications, software and internet, have been experiencing and
may continue to experience difficulties in raising additional financing required to
effectively operate and grow their businesses. Such failure and the volatility of the
securities market in general, and in relation to our shares in particular, may affect our
ability to raise additional financing in the future.

18

We
may experience a further decline in our share price

Our
share price has declined significantly over the last year and it continues to be affected
by the current uncertainty in global economic conditions We cannot assure you that our
share price will recover in the coming fiscal year.

# General Risks

Corporate
governance scandals and new legislation could increase the cost of our operations.

As
a result of corporate governance scandals and the legislative and litigation environment
resulting from those scandals, the costs of being a public company in general have
increased. Legislation, such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, have had the effect
of increasing the burdens and potential liabilities of being a public reporting company.
This and other proposed legislation may increase the fees of our professional advisors and
our insurance premiums.

Conditions
in Israel may affect our operations.

We
are incorporated under the laws of, and our corporate offices, research and development
operations and production facilities are located in, Israel. Although almost all of our
current sales are made to customers outside Israel, we are nonetheless directly influenced
by the political, economic and military conditions affecting Israel and the Middle East.
Any major hostilities involving Israel or the interruption or curtailment of trade between
Israel and its present trading partners could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of our operations.

From
October 2000 until recently, there was an increase in violence between Israel and the
Palestinians, primarily but not exclusively in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The election
of representatives of the Hamas militant group in January 2006 to a majority of seats in
the Palestinian Legislative Council, their taking over the Gaza Strip, as well as the war
with the Islamic militant group Hezbollah in Lebanon in July and August 2006 have created
additional regional unrest and uncertainty. The hostilities with Hamas in the Gaza Strip
further significantly escalated in December of 2008 and January of 2009. Ongoing and
revived hostilities with the Palestinians or Arab countries might require more widespread
military reserve service by some of our employees, which could have an adverse effect on
our business. In addition, several Arab and Muslim countries still restrict business with
Israeli companies. We could be adversely affected by restrictive laws or policies directed
towards Israel or Israeli businesses. The political and security situation in Israel may
result in parties with whom we have contracts claiming that they are not obligated to
perform their commitments under those agreements pursuant to force majeure provisions. Any
hostilities involving Israel or the interruption or curtailment of trade between Israel
and its present trading partners could adversely affect our operations and could make it
more difficult for us to raise capital. Furthermore, many of our facilities are located in
Israel. Since we do not have a detailed disaster recovery plan that would allow us to
quickly resume business activity, we could experience serious disruptions if acts
associated with this conflict result in any serious damage to our facilities. Our business
interruption insurance may not adequately compensate us for losses that may occur and any
losses or damages incurred by us could have a material adverse effect on our business. We
cannot give any assurance that security and political conditions will not have such an
effect in the future. Any future armed conflicts or political instability in the region
would likely negatively affect business conditions and harm our results of operations.

19

---

---

Furthermore,
all non-exempt male adult permanent residents of Israel under the age of 42 are obligated
to perform military reserve duty and may be called to active duty under emergency
circumstances. There have been significant call-ups of military reservists in the past,
and it is possible that there will be additional call-ups in the future. While we have
operated effectively despite these conditions in the past, we cannot assess what impact
such conditions may have in the future, particularly if emergency circumstances arise. Our
operations could be disrupted by the extended absence of one or more of our executive
officers or key employees or a significant number of our other employees due to military
service. Any disruption in our operations would harm our business.

The
Israeli rate of inflation may negatively impact our costs if it exceeds the rate of
devaluation of the New Israeli Shekel against the U.S. Dollar.

Most
of our sales are made in U.S. Dollars. We occasionally agree to make sales in other
currencies, usually the Euro. This exposes us to market risk from changes in foreign
exchange rates vis-à-vis the U.S. Dollar. We have recently commenced utilizing
foreign currency exchange contracts to mitigate these risks. Under these contracts,
increases or decreases in our foreign currency transactions are partially offset by gains
and loses on the forward contracts, so as to mitigate the possibility of foreign currency
transaction gains and losses. However, our Dollar costs in Israel will increase if
inflation in Israel exceeds the devaluation of the NIS against the Dollar or if the timing
of such devaluation lags behind inflation in Israel. There can be no assurance that we
will not incur losses from such fluctuations. For more information, see Item 5,
Operating and Financial Review and Prospects  Operating Results  Impact
of Inflation and Devaluation on Results of Operations, Liabilities and Assets
and Item 11, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk 

Israeli
courts might not enforce judgments rendered outside of Israel.

We
are incorporated in Israel. Most of our executive officers and directors are non-residents
of the United States, and a substantial portion of our assets and the assets of these
persons are located outside the United States. Therefore, it may be difficult to enforce a
judgment obtained in the United States against any such persons or us. It may also be
difficult to enforce civil liabilities under U.S. federal securities laws in original
actions instituted in Israel.

If
a foreign judgment is enforced by an Israeli court, it generally will be payable in New
Israeli Shekels, which can then be converted into foreign currency at the rate of exchange
of such foreign currency on the date of payment. Pending collection, the amount of the
judgment of an Israeli court stated in New Israeli Shekels (without any linkage to a
foreign currency) ordinarily will be linked to the Israeli consumer price index plus
interest at the annual statutory rate prevailing at such time. Judgment creditors bear the
risk of unfavorable exchange rates.

|------- |  | --------------------------

A.
          History and Development of the Company

We have historically designed,
developed, manufactured, marketed and supported automatic inspection and quality
monitoring systems for the textile and other fabric industries.

In the third quarter of 2002, our
management took the strategic decision to leverage our expertise in designing visual
inspection systems and expand our business into new industrial fields. Since then, we have
focused on an overall strategy of expanding our product portfolio and penetrating new
markets. As part of this strategy, over the past few years we have acquired two new
businesses, Panoptes and ScanMaster, which operate in the fields of optical vision and
non-destructive ultrasonic inspection application, respectively.

On September 8, 2004, we completed
the acquisition of ScanMaster, a company that develops, manufactures and markets automated
ultrasonic inspection and imaging equipment for the aircraft, aerospace, train, rail,
pipe, plate and automotive industries. ScanMaster was established in 1986 by a group of
researchers and engineers from the Tel Aviv University in Israel. ScanMaster manufactures
instruments, transducers and turnkey non-destructive inspection systems for a wide range
of industrial applications using ultrasonic technologies and has an installed base of more
than five hundred field-proven systems and instruments, including equipment for such
inspection applications as:

| | Pipe

ScanMaster
has sold its systems to Boeing, General Electric, Daimler Benz, Wyman Gordon, General
Motors, Cummins Diesel, Pratt & Whitney, MAN Technologies, Deutscher Aerospace, MTU,
Snechma, Fortech, Volvo Aerospace and Preussagstahl.

In
January 2006, we, together with our subsidiary ScanMaster, consummated the acquisition of
the business, assets, and shares of Panoptes, an innovator of machine vision systems for
surface inspection, technical fabrics, textiles, glass and other woven materials.

In
June 2004, we also purchased Yuravision Co. Ltd., or Yuravision, a company in the
microelectronics and flat-panel display industries. In 2006 our board of directors and
management decided to focus on existing markets rather than continue developing our
microelectronics technologies. As a result, on December 1, 2006, we executed an agreement
with a Korean corporation for the sale of Yuravision, which was later amended on January
28, 2008. For more information see Item 10, Additional Information 
Material Contracts.

Our
legal and commercial name is Elbit Vision Systems Ltd. We were established in Israel on
September 2, 1992 and organized pursuant to the Israel Companies Ordinance, 1983, which
was replaced by the Israeli Companies Law, 1999, or the Companies Law. We commenced
independent commercial operations on January 1, 1994, as a subsidiary of Elbit. Prior to
such date, our business operated as a division of Elbit. In July 1996, we consummated an
initial public offering of 2,000,000 ordinary shares. At such time the ordinary shares
were quoted on the NASDAQ National Market. Effective December 29, 2000, our ordinary
shares were delisted from the NASDAQ National Market and traded on the Over-the-Counter
Bulletin Board until June 21, 2001, when they were transferred to the NASDAQ SmallCap
Market. On November 19, 2003, our ordinary shares were delisted from the NASDAQ SmallCap
Market and we are currently traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board. For further
information, see Item 3, Key Information  Risk Factors  Risk Factors
Related to Our Ordinary Shares and Item 9, The Offer and Listing 
Market and Share Price History.

# B. Business Overview

We currently operate as two main
divisions: the NonDestructive Automated Inspection Systems Division consisting of
ScanMasters non-destructive inspection business and the Automated Optical Inspection
Industry, or AOI, Division.

|I. | NonDestructive
Automated Inspection Systems Division
|-- | -----------------------------------------------------

The products of ScanMaster Systems
(IRT) Ltd., or ScanMaster Ltd., serve the high end of a non-destructive testing, or NDT,
market. The companys products enjoy a high technological barrier to entry that
translates into a limited number of competitors in each application niche. In terms of
sensitivity, speed, resolution, data acquisition and processing hardware and software as
well as in terms of quality and reliability, the companys products are believed to
be well positioned in the industry.

ScanMaster Ltd. has made more than
700 equipment installations in 26 countries, for a total 20-year sales volume exceeding
$102million. Typical uses of ScanMaster equipment include the detection and sizing of
defects in forged discs used in jet engines, detection of flaws in pipe weld and pipe full
body, periodic inspection of the integrity of train rail, evaluation of the integrity of
spot weld bonds in automobiles and detection of bonding defects in composite aerospace
structures.

The annual NDT world market for
ultra-sonic testing, or UT, equipment is of the order of $500 million in size. The market
is divided among North and South America, Europe, and the rest of the world, with each of
the three sectors commanding approximately one-third of world sales. Product-wise, the UT
market is divided as follows:

| |  | Consumables,
which in the main are transducers and accessories with annual sales of the order of $100
million;
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | Gauges
and small portable instruments with estimated annual sales in the range of $200 million;
and
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | Full-size
instruments, retrofit upgrades of older installed systems and new turn-key inspection
systems, altogether comprising an annual turnover of $200 million.
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The early years of the current decade
saw a rapid expansion of sales of UT equipment to most of the industries (aircraft,
railway, steel, automotive and related industries). The annual growth is about 4%-6% of
the UT market.

Additionally, the rapid advances made
in computerized data acquisition and volumetric ultrasonic imaging are beginning to
contribute to a penetration of the gamma and X-ray NDT radiation markets, presently
approximately $350 million in size. UT inspection is significantly more attractive, as the
equipment is of comparable or lower cost, uses far fewer consumables, poses no radiation
hazard, and is amenable to computerized evaluation. It is expected that the inroads made
by UT imaging in these markets will increase significantly in the future, as more UT
inspection procedures in the aircraft, petroleum and steel industries supplant those
originally written for NDT radiation techniques.

23

---

---

The years of drastic cost-cutting by
many industrial concerns, combined with a dramatic increase in the price-to-performance
ratio of off-the-shelf computer and electronic products, has resulted in a significant
increase in the sensitivity of these companies to high-priced turn-key NDT machines. This,
in turn, has opened a window of opportunity for the manufacturers of inspection equipment
which are more attuned to competitive market trends in technology and pricing.

|b. | Sales
and Markets
|-- | -----------------

The market for NDT services is more
than twice the size of the equipment market. Worldwide, inspection services, especially
those employing UT equipment, encompass a variety of industries, and include the
inspection of installed pipelines and fuel storage tanks, fossil fuel and nuclear power
generation equipment, aircraft and aircraft engine components, train rail, and oil field
tubulars.

Interesting business opportunities in
the inspection service industry will present themselves with the establishment of joint
ventures between manufacturers of specialized inspection equipment and the traditional
suppliers of these services. The combination of strategic forces, when properly planned,
is expected to lead to the front-line positioning of companies that offer one or more
exclusive inspection services.

To date, ScanMaster Ltd. has made
more than 700 installations in 26 countries. Each territory is covered by a professional
representative, who is responsible for pre-sale activity through to warranty service. In
addition, the Company conducts its North American operations by way of a fully owned
subsidiary.

27

---

---

There is no real seasonality for
ScanMasters products, though sales usually increase in the second half of the year
as organizations hurry to use their entire allocated budget.

Over the past year, the concentration
of ScanMasters sales have been to Europe, such that its sales breakdown is
approximately 28% North America, 47% Europe and 25% to the Far East.

|c. | Manufacturing
|-- | -------------

ScanMasters facilities are
located in Qadima, together with our facilities. Together we currently lease 3180 m2.
ScanMasters systems are manufactured by subcontractors. The final assembly,
integration and quality control are conducted by ScanMaster. In addition, ScanMaster
performs logistics and purchasing activities. Every system is assembled at ScanMaster,
software installed and configured and the specific application is tested.
ScanMasters manufacturing facilities are in compliance with ISO-9002 standards.

|d. | Competition
|-- | -----------

The two leading companies in the UT
market are General Electric Inspection Technologies (GEIT) of the United States which
includes Krautkramer and Olympus of Japan which includes RD/Tech, Panametrics and Stavely
with total annual sales of UT equipment of approximately $100 million each.

Low end 
transducers, gauges, portable instruments

The UT sector of the NDT market is
served by some 30 companies worldwide. Most are involved in the manufacture of low-end
products, including standard transducers and other consumables, gages and portable
instruments and simple laboratory scanning systems.

The transducer market in the United
States is dominated by three companies, including, Panametrics, Technisonics and
Harisonics, with a total of $30 million in annual transducer sales. The transducer market
in Europe is dominated by Krautkramer and Karl Deutsche and smaller companies such as
Sonatest of UK and Imasonic of France with $30 million in transducer sales.

High end 
full-featured instruments and turn-key systems

The market for full-featured UT
instruments and turn-key inspection systems for the production line is characterized by a
high entry barrier for product development. In the 2000s, this field was dominated
by four or five manufacturers located in the United States and Germany.

Instruments

Panametrics, Stavely, and RD/Tech as
part of Olympus of Japan, Matec and GE-Krautkramer of the United States manufacture
full-featured ultrasonic instruments. Panametrics and Matec focus mostly mainly on
laboratory and research applications. RD/Tech is strongest in the nuclear power generation
industry. Krautkramer focus on the industrial market, while Krautkramer has the largest
installed base of full-size instruments.

28

Immersion and
squirter-based C-scan imaging systems

The market for this equipment
includes the aircraft and aerospace industries, reflecting requirements for the inspection
of engine, airframe and aerospace structural sectors, and encompassing part manufacturers,
refurbishment shops and in-field inspection.

Panametrics, Matec and SDI offer
complete inspection systems for both immersion and squirter inspection of aircraft and
aerospace parts. Boeing (formerly known as McDonnell Douglas) manufactures expensive
squirter-based systems for the inspection of large composite aircraft panels and domes.
Nutronic (part of Krautkremer, or KK) manufactures squirter-based 3D ultrasonic systems.

Production-line GO/NOGO
inspection systems

The market for automatic in-line
ultrasonic inspection equipment with accept-rejectdecision-making capability
encompasses such applications as full-body pipe, tube and bars, pipe weld, steel plate,
train wheels and rail.

Three companies, Krautkramer,
Nutronic (acquired by KK), and Karl Deutsche have traditionally dominated the European and
Asian markets for tube and bar inspection equipment based on ultrasonic technologies. In
the United States, small companies, including Dapco have been key players.

The market for line pipe weld and
body inspection equipment has traditionally been dominated by Krautkramer and Karl
Deutsche with total annual sales of the order of $12 million.

The market for pipe weld inspection
machines has grown significantly since the introduction of the new American Petroleum
Institute (API) standards for flaw detection in pipe welds. These standards require a
significant increase in flaw detection sensitivity, beyond the capability of most
installed equipment. As customers demand adherence to these standards for the supply of
pipe, manufacturers are being forced to consider the replacement of outmoded equipment.

Ultrasonic inspection
equipment for steel mills

Mitsubishi of Japan, and Krautkramer
and Karl Deutsche, are the well-known suppliers of ultrasonic inspection equipment for
steel plate mills. The installation of these machines usually cost millions of dollars.
There is a distinct cost advantage to inspecting plate on the production line, downstream
of the plate trimming equipment, while the plate is still at an elevated temperature. In
addition, customer product liability concerns are leading to increasingly stringent
product specifications, which may now include 100 percent inspection coverage of the plate
surface.

Small companies such as NDT Germany
and NDT Canada installed only a few systems.

Train wheel and train
rail inspection

A large inspection market exists for
in-service train rail inspection. Countries such as the United States and Germany, with
400,000 and 45,000 kilometers of installed train track, respectively, require periodic
inspection of the rail, up to several times per year depending on the average track load.
The rail inspection market in the United States is dominated by two non-government
companies (Sperry and Dapco) which manufacture their own equipment, while in Germany the
government-owned Deutsche Bundesbahn, or DB, operates the rail inspection service using
equipment purchased from ScanMaster.

29

---

---

The main companies which provide rail
service inspection and rail inspection equipment are Sperry of the United States, Speno of
Switzerland, and Tokimec of Japan. Failure of a single train wheel in service can have
catastrophic consequences for train passengers and crew, cargo and the environment.
Therefore, train wheels and axles must be inspected both on the production line and again
periodically in-service. Phased array technology is penetrated into this market niche by
companies such as Krautkramer and IZFP.

ScanMaster has registered 1 patent in
Israel with respect to certain technology incorporated in the Ultrasound inspection
methodology.

|II. | AOI
Division
|--- | ------------

The automated optical inspection
industry has traditionally been a labor-intensive industry. The principle stages of the
textile manufacturing process include raw materials production, yarn spinning,
fabric-forming, fabric spreading, fabric cutting and fabric finishing. End uses for
textiles include fabric for apparel, home textiles, industrial fabric and technical
fabric.

In recent years, web manufacturers
have successfully incorporated automation technology into their manufacturing process.
While automation has permeated virtually every component of the textile manufacturing
process, inspection and quality monitoring remain principally labor-intensive operations
and consequently can be impediments to greater efficiency and profitability. Web
manufacturers inspect fabric in order to:

| | determine
the quality of the fabric, thereby enabling a determination of its end usage and price;
|- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | locate,
 label and trace major defects (a requirement in the industry) for rapid  identification
in later stages      of the manufacturing process;
|- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | prevent
the reoccurrence of defects caused by manufacturing equipment; and

Fabric inspection can be performed at
various stages of the production process and is often performed two to three times during
a complete production cycle.

Manual inspection of fabrics is
generally performed by running the fabric over a wide table under appropriate lighting. A
human inspector is generally expected to detect a variety of defects, including holes of
various sizes and shapes, tears, cuts, thick ends, missing threads, width distortion and
variations in the fabric density and width, and mark them according to their type and
location on the fabric roll. In the case of inspection of printed fabrics, the human
inspector is expected to detect defects such as misfits, lint, stick-ins and off-center
and narrow prints. Inspectors inspecting dyed fabrics are also expected to detect
variations in the color and shades of the dyed fabric. Human inspection of fabrics is
unreliable for the following reasons:

30

---

---

| | the
inspection environment is influenced by factors such as the speed at which the fabric
passes in front of the inspector, the lighting in the testing area and the distance and
angle at which the inspector views the fabric. Differences in inspection environments can
lead to varying assessments of fabric quality;
|- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | the
accuracy of the inspection is affected by the attention span and fatigue of the human
inspector, who is normally expected to view fabrics for a period of several hours;
|- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | perception
 problems  caused by the  fatigue  of  specific  nerve  cells in the case of  patterned
 and  printed      material;
|- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | manual
 inspection  is performed by numerous  persons  worldwide,  each with a different
 perception  of product      quality; and
|- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | certain
technical fabric is produced at a very high speed and therefore defects cannot be
observed by the human eye.
|- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These factors have led to
inconsistent assessments of fabric quality and have caused fabric inspection to be a
time-consuming and costly process. These limitations also make it difficult to establish a
reliable industry-wide standard for fabric quality. The limitations of manual inspection,
along with the general trend in the web industry towards automation, in order to reduce
costs and improve quality, have created an opportunity for an effective automatic visual
inspection and quality monitoring systems for various niche markets in the web industry.

The EVS Solution for the
AOI

We develop and have acquired
sophisticated automatic visual inspection systems for manufacturers of industrial web
products. Our systems are designed to overcome the limitations of human visual inspection.
Our systems combine high-performance computer processing with unique image processing
capabilities based on proprietary vision understanding and interpretation algorithms. The
unique image processing capabilities include image acquisition, mathematical
transformation, image analysis and learning and decision-making elements. The mathematical
algorithms which enable these image interpretations and understanding capabilities are
performed by high-speed dedicated parallel processing computers based on specialized
architectures which are capable of performing tens, and in some of our products, hundreds
of billions of operations per second. These algorithms enable our systems to recognize
fabric flaws in real time and to learn the types and severity of the flaws a customer
wishes to detect, ignoring flaws that do not fall into such categories. Our systems then
analyze detected defects and provide information regarding their nature. Our systems are
an integral part of the manufacturing process and can be integrated with the
customers management information systems, providing valuable information for the
production planning process. We believe that our systems enable customers to reduce direct
labor, increase manufacturing efficiency and improve product quality.

Products

We currently offer five families of
visual inspection systems: IQ-TEX, for the visual inspection and quality monitoring of
woven fabric; IQ-TEX Lite, for the visual inspection and quality monitoring of knitted,
non-woven, tire cord, film, metal, coated and technical fabrics; Broken Filaments Analyzer
(BFA), for the detection of broken filament defects in glass fabric; and On Loom
Inspection (OLI), for the automatic visual quality inspection system that is integrated
with the weaving loom and monitors selected fabric types such as carbon, tire cord and
other high cost technical fabric, while weaving.

IQ-TEX
Family of Products

The IQ-TEX family of automatic web
inspection systems is designed to provide textile manufacturers with a comprehensive
solution to their quality monitoring, grading and cutting needs. IQ-TEX systems detect
numerous types of defects on any unicolor web, including: yarn and weaving faults; holes;
oil, water and dye stains; missing threads; starting marks; broken yarn; and dyeing,
coating and finishing irregularities. They then provide the manufacturer with information
regarding the location, size and shape of the defect. Depending on the model, IQ-TEX
systems can detect defects as small as 0.5 mm on any web width. The IQ-TEX systems can
detect at web speed of up to 800 meters per minute. In addition, IQ-TEX systems can be
configured to mark defects during inspection and advise the user as to the most efficient
manner to cut web to eliminate unacceptable defects.

The modular design of the IQ-TEX
systems enables their use for a wide range of applications throughout the fabric-forming
process, including greige, dyed fabrics and finished fabrics, and for inspection of a
variety of fabrics including those used for apparel, home textile and technical and
industrial textiles. The modular design also enables the configuration of the system to
match the manufacturers demands with respect to matters such as web width, web
speed, desired resolution, auxiliaries, information distribution channels within the plant
and grading standards. IQ-TEX systems can be integrated in-line with existing textile
production equipment or can be used as off-line stand-alone units to inspect web after
manufacturing is complete.

Quality
Monitoring Process

The IQ-TEX quality monitoring process
is comprised of three primary phases: the pre-inspection phase, the inspection phase and
the post-inspection phase.

Pre-Inspection Phase. The
pre-inspection phase is the preliminary learning stage in which a sample of web of
acceptable quality is scanned through the system. Based on the information obtained, the
system creates a parameters file for the web style to be inspected that defines the
statistical features of a good web based on the customers
specifications. The system then uses these parameters to learn what to look for when
inspecting the fabric. Once the system has learned the parameters of the sample, the
system is ready to begin inspecting the fabric.

Inspection Phase. The system
moves the inspected web through the image acquisition unit. The image acquisition unit
acquires the image of the web being inspected and transforms video signals of the web into
digital signals for processing and analysis. This unit then transfers the web image to the
systems computer. The computer processes the web image and distinguishes between
inherent product irregularities and product defects. It then groups product defects
according to their size, direction and shape, and grades them in terms of severity. The
system displays a map of the defects in real-time, stores the defect image and records
information with respect to each defect detected. The system may also be programmed to
activate external units such as marking units and alarms upon detection of a defect.

32

---

---

Post-Inspection Phase.
Following the inspection of the fabric, the system provides an inspection report, which
may be printed or archived, containing a record of each defect that has been detected,
statistics regarding the type and position of the defect, and the overall grading of the
rolls according to pre-defined guidelines. In the in-line mode, the inspection report may
be sent directly to the manufacturers host computer, thereby enabling an operator to
take immediate actions to remedy the cause of the defects or to take actions to eliminate
such defects in the future. The images can also be analyzed using the video album
workstation described below, enabling customers to identify the cutting points for optimal
web yield, and to re-grade the fabric.

Models

IQ-TEX systems are currently
available in IQ-TEX model and also in IQ-TEX Lite model. The IQ-TEX model includes
improved capabilities for the detection of defects, as well as additional innovative
technologies for system styles tuning and defects sorting. The 2 models cover a full range
of applications.

| |  | The
IQ-TEX is based on the integration of our Smart Video Camera technology into the I-TEX
products, mainly for woven textile range applications, such as grey fabric, dyed &finished,
denim, Glass fabric (for PCB) etc. The IQ-TEX is a more compact, powerful and flexible
version of IQ-TEX, and can operate at a maximum speed of up to 600 meters per minute. It
includes improved capabilities for the detection of defects in complex fabrics, such as
denim, and high-speed configuration for an in-line inspection of non-woven fabric. The
list price for the IQ-TEX ranges between $120,000 and $250,000 depending on the
configuration.
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | The
IQ-TEX Lite is based on the same hardware as is used in the IQ-TEX system. The IQ-TEX
Lite has a light mechanical frame (the system is equipped with a camera box), which is
designed for easy and flexible installation on a wide range of web production lines such
as non-woven, paper, tire cord, film, composite materials, laminated materials, metal,
etc. The system allows us to offer solutions to new market segments using our vast
experience from the textile industry. The list price for the IQ-TEX Lite ranges between
$85,000 and $250,000 depending on the configuration and the web production type.
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Modules

We offer the following three modules
for defect analysis and cut optimization for our IQ-TEX and IQ-TEX Lite systems: the Video
Album workstation, the DMSS (Defect Monitoring Sub System) and the Cut Optimization
software.

Video Album Workstation. This
module is a stand-alone PC-based station for review and analysis of defect images and data
using a Windows-based interface. The images and inspection results are automatically
transferred from the systems computer to the video album workstation via a local
area network.

The Video Album workstation enables
rapid review of web images and provides visual documentation of defects and over all roll
quality. The video album workstation enables review of all recorded information, such as
images and data, for each defect. This information enables:

| | reviewing
and editing of defect data;
|- | -------------------------------------

| | generation
of management reports;
|- | ---------------------------------

| | archiving
of defect data; and
|- | -----------------------------

| | definition
of points of interest and mandatory cutting points for the cutting table and DMSS system.
|- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cut Optimization.Software
that enables the user to cut a large IQ-TEX Inspected rollof web into
smaller rolls while optimizing the fabrics yield per class (A, B, C, etc.) according
to the users specifications. Our Cut Optimization software offers the following
benefits:

| | maximizes
web roll selling price;
|- | ---------------------------------

| | reduces
the quantity of second and third quality product; and
|- | -------------------------------------------------------------

| | consistent
fulfillment of customer's demands.
|- | ---------------------------------------------

Smart Table. The Smart Table
interfaces the IQ-TEX system with the cutting table and provides users with the
following benefits:

| | allows
for an accurate  stop or slowing the table speed at "points of interest"  which were
defined on the video          album such as: selected defects, cutting points and mending
points;
|- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | contains
a trigger for invisible ink or metallic label defect marking signs; and
|- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | operates
the roll cutting device following the cut optimization results.
|- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------

These modules can be purchased
separately or together to form the IQ-TEX Inspected Process, which provides an integrated
link between the web-forming and cutting segments of the textile industry.

Accessories

We offer an extensive line of
accessories designed to provide, along with the IQ-TEX systems, a comprehensive solution
for the web inspection and grading process. These accessories include invisible ink or
sticker marking units, alarm sets, ultra violet ink for marking and external connecting
devices for marking and measuring.

Broken
Filaments Analyzer (BFA)

The Broken Filaments Analyzer, or the
BFA, is a visual inspection system designed for the detection of broken filaments in glass
fabrics used for the electronic printed circuit board, or PCB, industry. Broken glass
filaments are small filaments that protrude from glass fabric, generally used for the PCB
industry. Broken glass filaments are hardly visible to the human eye at low web speeds,
and are practically invisible at normal production speeds. They can be as small as a few
microns and as short as 0.5 millimeters. Broken glass filaments can cause defects in the
lamination of glass fabrics and the production of printed circuit boards, and may
short-circuit or disconnect the end product incorporating the PCB. For this reason, it is
important to effectively detect broken glass filaments and grade glass web in terms of
broken filament content. Human inspectors are unable to effectively detect broken glass
filaments.

34

---

---

The BFA utilizes proprietary
processing and software technology, cameras and lighting systems to inspect glass web in
real-time at speeds exceeding 120 meters per minute. The broken filaments detected by the
BFA are displayed on a monitor that shows the running map of the fabric in real time, and
are recorded for further analysis. The BFA produces a detailed report of each web roll,
showing the broken filaments distribution in the roll, its statistics and the
fabrics grading. The BFA is integrated with the IQ-TEX 100 system, which can be used
for the detection of other defects in glass fabrics, and with the Video Album to provide a
more comprehensive solution to the visual inspection and quality monitoring of glass
fabrics. The BFA can also be used for the detection of surface defects in other fabrics or
webs including airbags and technical fabrics. The list price for the BFA system ranges
between $100,000 and $150,000, depending on the configuration.

|b. | Sales
and Markets for the AOI
|-- | -----------------------------

Sales Network

We market our products through
in-house sales personnel in conjunction with independent sales representatives. Our
independent sales representatives provide essential pre-and-post sales support for our
products in their territories and account for a substantial percentage of our sales
worldwide. We believe that our sales representatives network will enable us to introduce
new products and to penetrate additional web manufacturers around the world. We intend to
further expand our international sales representatives network by entering into
relationships with additional sales representatives and forming joint ventures in target
markets.

We utilize the services of
independent sales representatives in Europe, Latin America, and the Far East. Our
independent sales representatives do not have the authority to enter into contracts on our
behalf or otherwise bind us. To promote our products, we devote significant resources
towards participation in the key annual textile equipment trade shows. We also advertise
in trade magazines and conduct customer seminars.

We maintain sales and support centers
located in the United States, Europe, Asia, and Israel. When a high level of technical
expertise is needed, the sales effort is supported by product marketing managers and our
engineers who work closely with customers and potential customers to find solutions to
their current and future web inspection challenges. We work closely with customers in a
continuous improvement process on selected technical aspects of our products. Such
improvements often become standard on products sold worldwide. A specified number of
training classes are included in the purchase price of our products. Subsequent training
is provided for a nominal fee.

IQ-TEX
Inspected Standard

A significant portion of our
marketing effort is focused on making web inspection by IQ-TEX systems, and the
corresponding labeling of the inspected web as IQ-TEX Inspected, an industry
standard for web quality inspection. We believe that the best way to increase demand for
our IQ-TEX systems is to convince end-product manufacturers of the benefits of IQ-TEX
inspection, in terms of the quality, uniformity and reliability of the inspection. If we
are successful in doing so, fashion designers will increasingly demand that the fabrics
they purchase from web manufacturers be inspected by IQ-TEX systems. As more and more
designers make these demands, web manufacturers will be required to purchase our systems.
Our efforts include performing tests of the capabilities of IQ-TEX with leading clothing
manufacturers. Although inspection by IQ-TEX systems has not yet become an industry
standard, many designers express preference for IQ-TEX Inspected fabrics.
There can be no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts to make inspection by
IQ-TEX an industry standard.

35

Relationships with
Leading Equipment Manufacturers

Another important element of our
marketing strategy is to establish and strengthen relationships with leading textile
equipment manufacturers. These relationships bolster our marketing abilities and assist us
in ensuring that our products are technically advanced and designed in conjunction with
the development of the textile manufacturers web inspection requirements and
industry trends.

Sales by Principal
Markets and Activities

In 2004, approximately 27.8% of our
consolidated sales were in the United States, approximately 46.9% were in Europe, and
approximately 25.3% were in the Far East. In 2005, approximately 31.48% of
our sales were in the United States, approximately 21.2% were in Europe, and approximately
46.1% were in the Far East.  In 2006, approximately 22.8% of our sales were
in the United States, approximately 40.1% were in Europe, and approximately 37.1% were in
the Far East. In 2007, approximately 29% of our sales were in the United
States, approximately 35% were in Europe, and approximately 36% were in the Far East. In
2008, approximately 41.7% of our sales were in the United States, approximately
35.3% were in Europe, and approximately 23% were in the Far East.One customer accounted
for 18%, 12% and 15%in each of the years, 2004, and 2005 and 2007 respectively. No other
customers accounted for more than 10% of our net sales in any of the years 2004, 2005,
2006, 2007 or 2008. Historically, our highest level of net sales has been in the fourth
quarter of each year. Nevertheless, we have experienced and may in the future experience
significant fluctuations in revenues and operating results from quarter to quarter as a
result of a number of factors, many of which are outside our control. For more
information, see Item 3, Key Information  Risk Factors  Risk Factors
Related to Our Business  Fluctuations in the Market.

|c. | Manufacturing
for the Web Industry
|-- | ----------------------------------

The principal manufacturing and
assembly of our basic systems are conducted by subcontractors. We perform logistics and
purchasing activities, integration and final testing in-house. In addition, we perform the
software installation and configuration, final hardware configuration, quality control and
any special system customization needed for a particular customer. Production is based
upon firm customer commitments and anticipated orders and is generally planned one to
three months in advance. We contract with third party subcontractors to perform the
manufacturing of our systems so that we can focus on design and product development
strengths and minimize fixed costs and capital expenditures. Our engineers work closely
with subcontractors to increase manufacturing yields, lower manufacturing costs and assure
quality. Some of the electronic components included in our product are manufactured
especially for us by exclusive suppliers. If any of these exclusive suppliers stop
manufacturing these components we will need to find alternative suppliers. Our reliance on
sole suppliers involves several risks, including a potential inability to obtain adequate
supplies of these components and reduced control over pricing and timely delivery of these
components. We believe that we maintain a sufficient inventory of these components to meet
our foreseeable needs. However, if our single source supplier ceases to produce these
components, we would have to transfer the manufacture of the components to another
supplier or suppliers. We estimate that such a transfer would take approximately up to six
months and could delay the production and supply of our products, which could harm our
results of operations.

36

|d. | Competition
in the Web Industry
|-- | -------------------------------

We believe that the capabilities of
our technology, along with our experience in implementing these technologies and our wide
customer base, provide us with a competitive advantage over potential competitors are
small suppliers of automatic inspection solutions with PC-based technologies. These
suppliers, who offer low-cost solutions for low-end applications such as Non-Woven, are
attempting to penetrate the field of textile inspection, yet, thus far, have not been
commercially successful.

We are targeting the technical fabric
industry as a high potential market for our automatic inspection systems. The main
competitor on this industry is Cognex Corporation  based in the United States.
Cognex Corporation is specialized on supplying machine vision components for the industry.
We believe that our capabilities for supplying tailor made solutions for our
customers together with the high growth rate of the technical fabric industry, will allow
us to produce revenues from it.

The presence of competitors in the
textile automatic inspection field may increase awareness of the benefits of automatic
fabric inspection, and may help us enlarge our market. However, it is possible that
systems developed by these or other future competitors will prove more effective than our
IQ-TEX systems or that potential customers will prefer them for other reasons. If we are
unable to maintain our technological advantage or are unable to convince potential
customers of the superiority of our IQ-TEX systems, our business would be seriously
harmed.

Several manufactures of equipment for
the fabric manufacturing industry offer products that compete with our Shade Variation
Analyzer. Our main competitor is Mahlo GmbH & Co. KG.

The competition for the development
and sale of advanced automated vision systems in other industries and for other
applications is intense. To the extent providers of automated vision systems choose to
focus on or develop advanced automated vision technology for the fabric industry or other
industries for which we attempt to develop products, we could face significant competition
in the future. Potential competitors may be more established, benefit from greater market
recognition and have greater financial, production and marketing resources than we do.

|e. | Intellectual
Property Rights for Textile Industry
|-- | -------------------------------------------------

In May 2002, we entered into an
agreement with our former principal shareholder Elbit and Dr. Ilan Tamches, which amended
the license agreement existing between Elbit and us, dated June 12, 1996. According to
this agreement, Elbit transferred to Dr. Ilan Tamches certain elements of our technology,
or Elbit Technology, which we formerly licensed from Elbit, and other elements of our
technology were directly transferred to us by Elbit, or Elbit Modified Technology.
Consequently, we licensed the Elbit Technology from Dr. Tamches, its original developer.
Pursuant to this agreement, we have certain non-exclusive rights to this technology with
respect to the development, production, distribution, modification, use and repair of any
of the I-TEX systems, for as long as we continue to produce, distribute, modify, use and
repair any I-TEX systems. In consideration for the royalties that we have agreed to pay
Dr. Tamches, he has agreed not to license Elbit Technology to any third party that
competes with I-TEX systems. Since the third quarter of 2006 we have not used this
technology.

37

Neither we, nor, to our knowledge,
Dr. Tamches, have any patents or patent applications pending with respect to this
technology. We do have a patent in France and patent applications pending in Israel with
respect to certain technology incorporated in the video cameras used by our systems. We
rely primarily upon a combination of trademark, copyright, know-how, trade secrets and
contractual restrictions to protect our intellectual property rights.

Our employees who have access to
confidential information are required to sign confidentiality and invention assignment
agreements. We believe that such measures provide only limited protection of our
proprietary information, and there is no assurance that our proprietary technology will
remain a secret or that others will not develop similar technology and use this technology
to compete with us. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized
parties may attempt to copy aspects of our products or to obtain and use information that
we regard as proprietary.

We have registered trademarks with
respect to the name I-TEX in the United States, Mexico, Spain, Italy, Turkey,
Portugal, Brazil, France, China and Japan, and have filed applications for registered
trademarks for the name I-TEX in India We have registered trademarks of the
name and design I-TEX Inspected in Taiwan, South Africa, United States,
Mexico, Brazil, Germany, France, Turkey, Italy, China and the European Union. We also have
registered trademarks with respect to the name PRIN-TEX in Spain, Italy,
France, Turkey and Japan. In addition, we have a registered trademark with respect to the
name KNI-TEX in Italy. We also have a registered trademark with respect to the
name EVS in the European Union, Japan and the United States. Our trademark
rights include rights associated with the use of our trademarks.

Significant and protracted litigation
may be necessary to protect our intellectual property rights, to determine the scope of
the proprietary rights of others or to defend against claims of infringement. Item 8,
Financial Information  Litigation below contains a description of a
past patent infringement claim.

|IV. | Governmental
Regulation Affecting the Company
|--- | ---------------------------------------------

As
a company which focuses on research and development and which receives grants in order to
do so from the Government of Israel, we are affected by the terms of the grants we have
received from the Office of the Chief Scientist, or OCS, of the Ministry of Industry,
Trade and Labor of the Government of Israel. Under the terms of these grants, we are
responsible to pay royalties based on the net sales of our products. In addition,
manufacturing of products developed with these grants must be performed in Israel, or we
may be subject to the payment of additional royalties. Approval must be obtained to
transfer technologies developed through projects in which the government participates. See
Item 5, Operating and Financial Review and Prospects  Research and
Development, Patents and Licenses, etc.

38

In addition, we receive certain tax
benefits and reduced tax rates from the government of Israel. See Item 10,
Additional Information  Taxation  Effective Corporate Tax
Rate. The entitlement to these benefits is conditional upon our fulfillment of
the conditions stipulated by the law, regulations promulgated thereunder and the
instruments of approval for the specific investments. In the event of a failure to comply
with these conditions, the benefits could be canceled and we would be required to refund
the amount of the benefits, in whole or in part, with the addition of linkage differences
and interest.

# Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion of our
financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this
prospectus. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these
forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors.

Most of our revenues are generated in
U.S. dollars, and a significant portion of our expenses are incurred in U.S. Dollars, or
are linked to the U.S. Dollar. Consequently, we use the U.S. Dollar as our functional
currency. Transactions and balances originally denominated in U.S. Dollars are presented
in the financial statements in their original amounts, and non-Dollar transactions and
balances have been translated into U.S. Dollars using the exchange rates in effect on the
date of a transaction or balance. Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The financial statements of our
subsidiaries the functional currency of which is the U.S. Dollar, but which are presented
in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, have been translated into U.S. Dollars. Monetary
balance sheet items have been translated using the exchange rates in effect on the balance
sheet date and all non-monetary balance sheet items have been translated using the
historical exchange rates in effect on the date of the transaction. Statement of income
items have been translated using the average exchange rate for the period presented.

The amounts (in terms of Korean Won)
included in the financial statements of Yuravision, drawn up in Korean Won, are dealt
with, for the purpose of consolidation as follows: The operating results and cash flows of
Yuravision are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates existing on the dates of
the transactions (or at the average exchange rates for the period, where these approximate
the actual exchange rates). Balance sheet items, including the balances of fair value
adjustments made, and goodwill recognized, on the acquisition of Yuravision, are
translated at the exchange rate at the end of the year. Exchange differences arising from
the translation of the net investment in Yuravision are carried as a separate item within
shareholders equity (differences from translation of foreign currency
financial statements of a subsidiary). Upon disposal of the investment in the
Yuravision, these exchange differences will be carried to the income statement, as part of
the gain or loss recognized on the disposal.

# Critical Accounting
Policies

The preparation of our financial
statements in conformity with the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires
us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. These are our managements best estimates based on experience and historical
data. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Specific accounting policies we
utilize require higher degrees of judgment than others in their application. These include
revenue recognition on long-term contract work. Our policy and related procedures for
revenue recognition on long-term contract work are summarized below.

a. Revenue recognition

Revenues from sales of products and
supplies are recognized when an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred and title has
passed to the customer. The price charged by us or our subsidiaries to the customer is
fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured.

With respect to systems sold with
installation requirements, the installation is not considered to be a separate earnings
process; thus, revenue is recognized when all of the above criteria are met and
installation is completed.

b.
          Acceptance clause, customers support service and warranty

We and our subsidiaries distinguish
between revenue recognition in respect of revenue derived from automatic vision inspection
products (sold by us) and ultrasonic inspection products (sold by ScanMaster).

The terms of the agreements between
us and our customers are substantially different from the terms of the agreements between
ScanMaster and its customers. Therefore, the revenue recognition accounting policy applied
by each of the companies is different in this case. Set forth bellow are the main
accounting policies applied by each of our companies:

The Company

In a case that our agreement with a
customer includes an acceptance clause, revenue recognition will take place
after we receive the acceptance certificate from the customer. In some cases,
we grant our customers a trial period, usually several months, in order to evaluate the
prototype systems performance. In a case where the systems performance meets the
customers requirements, it purchases the system at the end of the trial period. We
do not recognize sales revenue from products shipped to customers for trial until such
products are actually purchased. Until purchased, these products are recorded as
consignment inventory at the lower of cost or market.

In some cases, we grant our customers
support services, including warranty in respect of products sold; these services are
usually provided for a period of six to twelve months. In those cases, upon revenue
recognition, we defer a portion of the sale price and recognize it as service revenue
ratably over the abovementioned period.

42

---

---

ScanMaster

ScanMasters agreements with its
customers usually include acceptance testing procedures clause (ATP). Each
product of ScanMaster has standard performance specifications that are examined in the
ATP; usually, the performance specifications are not customized for the specific needs of
the customer. Also, unlike in our case, ScanMaster does not grant its customers a trial
period in the normal course of business.

ScanMaster distinguishes between
sales of new products, in respect of which ScanMaster has no past installation experience
and sales of products, in installation of which the company is well experienced. In
respect of sales of new products ScanMaster recognizes revenues only after the company
receives the ATP from the customer. In respect of sales of other products, in the
installation of which the company is well experienced, the ATP is only a formal procedure,
and therefore, the installation of products is a sufficient requirement to recognize
revenues.

The agreements with the clients do
not include the right of the clients to a refund in the event that the ATP is not to their
satisfaction. However, the collection of the final payment from the customer (usually 10%
out of the total consideration) is scheduled to coincide with receiving the signed ATP.

ScanMaster recognizes revenues from
contracts to sell systems that require significant customization, integration and
installation or contracts that include services considered essential to the functionality
of the system, based on the American Institute for of Certified Public Accountants
Statement of Position 81-1 Accounting for Performance of Construction  Type
and Certain Production  Type Contracts, or SOP 81-1. Under the SOP revenues
are calculated, as the project progresses, according to the percentage of the contract for
the purchase of such system that has been completed, taking into account the proportion of
the actual labor costs incurred to the total labor costs estimated to be incurred over the
duration of the contract. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are
made when such losses are first determined, in the amount of the estimated loss of the
entire contract.

When the services are not considered
essential, revenue are allocated using provisions prescribed in EITF 00-21 Revenue
Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables to each deliverable. Revenues allocated to
professional services are recognized as the services are performed.

ScanMaster provides for warranty
costs at the same time as the revenue is recognized. The annual provision is calculated at
rates of 0.5%-2% of the sales, based on past experience.

c.
          Right of return

Neither we, nor our subsidiaries,
provide, in the normal course of business, a right of return to our customers. If
uncertainties exist, such as the granting of a right of cancellation to the customer,
revenue is recognized when the uncertainties are resolved.

*     The financial data contained in
this table has been adjusted to take into account the discontinued operations of our
former subsidiary Yuravision. For further information see Note 3a to our financial
statements for the year ending December 31, 2008, contained elsewhere in this report.

# Year Ended December 31,
2008 Compared with Year Ended December 31, 2007

# Sales

Sales in 2008 increased by
approximately 1% to $22.1 million compared with sales of $21.9 million in 2007. We
witnessed a growth in sales in the aerospace industry until the fourth quarter while sales
in the vision section declined especially during the fourth quarter.

# Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues consists of
component costs, hardware costs, technical support costs, royalty payments, compensation
costs and overheads related to the production and assembly of our products. Cost of sales
as a percentage of net sales was 65.8% in 2008 compared with 51.7% in 2007. The increase
in cost of revenues in 2008 was mainly due to inventory write off of $ 1.1 million,
reorganization expenses and a decline in the revenues from our vision division which is
usually our more profitable division.

44

---

---

# Gross Profit

In 2008 our gross profit was $7.5
million as compared to $10.5 million in 2007. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales
was 34.2% in 2008 as compared to 48.3% in 2007. The decrease in our gross profit in 2008
was mainly due to a write-off of inventory, a decrease in our vision sales and also due to
the decrease of the value of the dollar against the NIS during the first half of 2008.

# Research and Development
Costs

Our research and development expenses
consist of our total costs less grants from the Government of Israel. Gross research and
development expenditures consist primarily of salaries and related costs of employees
engaged in ongoing research and development, and, to a lesser extent, costs of materials,
depreciation and other expenditures. Gross research and development expenditures increased
to $4.7 million in 2008 from $3.4 million in 2007, and were offset by Israeli government
grants of $0.15 million in 2008 and $0.14 million in 2007. Net research and development
expenses in 2008 were $4.5 million compared with $3.3 million in 2007. The increase in the
gross research and development expenses was mainly due to the decrease in the value of the
dollar against the NIS and due to our efforts to penetrate new markets by adjusting our
technology to market demand. For more information, see Item 3, Key Information
 Risk Factors  General Risks.

# Sales and Marketing
Expenses

Marketing and sales expenditures
consist primarily of costs relating to promotion, advertising and trade shows, payroll and
related expenses, sales commissions, travel expenses. Marketing and sales expenses
amounted to $5.3 million in 2008, compared to $4.89 million in 2007. The increase in the
marketing and sales expenses was primarily due to an increase in sales commissions
following the growth in our sales in the NDT market and the decrease in the value of the
dollar against the NIS.

# General and
administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses
consist of payroll and related expenses, doubtful and bad accounts, professional fees paid
to auditors, legal advisors and other consultants and other related expenses. As a
percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses increased to 9.6% in 2008
from 6.1% in 2007. General and administrative expenses in 2008 were $2.1 million, compared
to $1.34 million in 2007. The increase in expenses in 2008 was primarily attributable to
reorganization expenses and provision for doubtful accounts.

# Financial Expenses

Financial expenses consist primarily
of interest on our loans from banks. Additionally, expenses consist of currency
translation adjustments between the U.S. Dollar and NIS exchange rate imposed on our
assets and liabilities. Financial expenses in 2008 and in 2007 were $1.08 million. During
2007 and 2008, we financed our operations using a credit line facility provided to us by
our bank.

45

---

---

# Profit/Loss

In 2008 we recorded net loss of $7.5
million, as compared to a $1.3 in 2007. This was primarily due to a write-off of goodwill
and inventory and an increase in our expenses due to the decrease in the value of US
Dollar against the NIS.

# Year Ended December 31,
2007 Compared with Year Ended December 31, 2006

# Sales

Sales in 2007 increased by
approximately 28.8% to $21.9 million compared with sales of $17 million in 2006. This
increase was primarily attributable to the growth in the aerospace industry and the
changes we made in our sales and marketing department during our recent internal
reorganization.

# Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues consists of
component costs, hardware costs, technical support costs, royalty payments, compensation
costs and overheads related to the production and assembly of our products. Cost of sales
as a percentage of net sales was 51.7% in 2007 compared with 72% in 2006. The decrease in
cost of revenues in 2007 was mainly due to cost reduction and efficiency measures taken as
a result of the consolidation of our two production sites in Israel and the increase in
our sales compared to 2006.

# Gross Profit

In 2007 our gross profit was $10.5
million as compared to $4.7 million in 2006. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was
48.3% in 2007 as compared to 28% in 2006. The increase in our gross profit in 2007 was
mainly due to a onetime loss we incurred during 2006 related to the Indian Project; We
also increased our gross profit by combining our two production sites in Israel.

# Research and Development
Costs

Our research and development expenses
consist of our total costs less grants from the Government of Israel. Gross research and
development expenditures consist primarily of salaries and related costs of employees
engaged in ongoing research and development, and, to a lesser extent, costs of materials,
depreciation and other expenditures. Gross research and development expenditures increased
to $3.454 million in 2007 from $2.707 million in 2006, and were offset by Israeli
government grants of $0.141 million in 2007 and $0.145 million in 2006. Net research and
development expenses in 2007 were $3.31 million compared with $2.56 million in 2006. The
increase in the gross research and development expenses was mainly due to our efforts to
penetrate new markets by adjusting our technology to market demand. For more information,
see Item 3, Key Information  Risk Factors  General Risks.

# Sales and Marketing
Expenses

Marketing and sales expenditures
consist primarily of costs relating to promotion, advertising and trade shows, payroll and
related expenses, sales commissions, travel expenses. Marketing and sales expenses
amounted to $4.89 million in 2007, compared to $4.15 million in 2006. The increase in the
marketing and sales expenses was primarily due to an increase in sales commissions
following the growth in our sales as compared to 2006.

46

---

---

# General and
administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses
consist of payroll and related expenses, doubtful and bad accounts, professional fees paid
to auditors, legal advisors and other consultants and other related expenses. As a
percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses decreased to 6.1% in 2007
from 11% in 2006. General and administrative expenses in 2007 were $1.34 million, compared
to $1.87 million in 2006. The decrease in expenses in 2007 was primarily attributable to
combining our two sites in Israel.

# Financial Expenses

Financial expenses consist primarily
of interest on our loans from banks and from two of our major shareholders Elbit and
Mivtach Shamir. Additionally, expenses consist of currency translation adjustments between
the U.S. Dollar and NIS exchange rate imposed on our assets and liabilities. Financial
expenses in 2007 were $1.08 million, compared to $1.33 million in 2006. During 2006 and
2007, we financed our operations using a credit line facility provided to us by our bank.
The decrease in financial expenses was primarily due to the improvement in our business
results, funds raised during 2007 in private placements and capitalization of certain our
loans from shareholders.

# Profit/Loss

In 2007 we recorded net loss of $1.3
million, as compared to a $6.1 in 2006. This was primarily due to a one time loss during
2006 with regard to the Indian railway project and the increase in our sales in 2007
compared to 2006. We also completed our reorganization plan during 2007 which improved our
profitability.

II.
          Impact of Inflation and Devaluation on Results of Operations, Liabilities and
          Assets

For many years prior to 1986, the
Israeli economy was characterized by high rates of inflation and devaluation of the
Israeli currency against the U.S. Dollar and other currencies. However, since the
institution by the Israeli government of an economic recovery program in 1985, inflation,
while continuing, has been significantly reduced and until recently the rate of
devaluation has substantially diminished. Since the majority of our revenues are
denominated and paid in U.S. Dollars, we believe that inflation and fluctuations in the
U.S. Dollar exchange rate have no material effect on our revenue. Inflation and U.S.
Dollar exchange rate fluctuations, however, have some effect on our expenses and, as a
result, on our net income/loss. The cost of our Israel operations, as expressed in U.S.
Dollars, is influenced by the extent to which any increase in the rate of inflation in
Israel is not offset (or is offset on a lagging basis) by a devaluation of the NIS in
relation to the U.S. Dollar. For more information, see the discussion regarding inflation
in Item 3, Key Information  Risk Factors  General Risks and
Item 11, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk  Foreign
Currency Exchange and Interest Rate Risk.

The exchange rate between NIS and the
U.S. Dollar has fluctuated during the past twelve months from a high of NIS 4.022 to the
Dollar to a low of NIS 3.23 to the Dollar. The high and low exchange rates between the NIS
and U.S. Dollar during the six most recent months, as published by the Bank of Israel,
were as follows:

The average exchange rate, using the
average of the exchange rates on the last day of each month during the period, for each of
the five most recent fiscal years, was as follows:

|January 1, 2008 - December 31, 2008 | 3.59 NIS/$1  

In 2004, the rate of inflation of
approximately 1.21% and the Dollar devalued against the NIS by approximately 1.61%. In
2005, the rate of inflation was approximately 2.39% and the rate of revaluation was 5.67%.
In 2006, the Israeli economy recorded negative inflation of approximately 0.1% where the
NIS revalued against the U.S. dollar by approximately 8.21%. In 2007, the rate of
inflation of approximately 3.4% and the Dollar devalued against the NIS by approximately
8.97%. In 2008, the rate of inflation of approximately 3.8% and the Dollar devalued
against the NIS by approximately 1.14%. As a result of the differential between the rate
of inflation and the rate of evaluation of the NIS, we experienced increases in the costs
of our Israel operations, as expressed in U.S. Dollars, in 2008.

From time to time, we engage in
hedging or other transactions intended to manage the risks relating to foreign currency
exchange rate or interest rate fluctuations. Although, we do not undertake such
transactions on a regular basis, our management may determine that it is necessary to
further minimize such risks.

# Governmental Policies
Affecting Company Operations

The discussion regarding governmental
regulation is hereby incorporated by reference to Item 4, Information on the
Company  Business Overview  Governmental Regulation Affecting the
Companyand the discussion regarding political policies is hereby incorporated
by reference to Item 3, Key Information  Risk Factors  General Risks
 Conditions in Israel.

# B. Liquidity and Capital
Resources

Prior to our initial public offering,
our principal source of financing for our operations and working capital requirements were
loans from Elbit and grants from the Government of Israel. In July 1996, we raised
approximately $15.7 million, net of expenses, through the initial public offering of our
securities. Since our initial public offering, we have financed our operations primarily
through (i) cash reserves, (ii) cash generated from operations, (iii) grants from the
Government of Israel (iv) the use of a bank credit line (v) receipt of a convertible loan,
and (vi) private placements of our securities. As of December 31, 2008, we had negative
working capital of $4.1 million.

48

---

---

We anticipate that we will continue
to incur significant operating expenses in connection with the development and marketing
of our products. If cash generated from operations is insufficient to satisfy our
liquidity requirements, we may sell additional equity or debt securities or seek to obtain
additional credit facilities.

Investments

Our cash and cash equivalents
decrease to $0.4 million at the end of 2008 compared to $2.2 million recorded at the end
of 2007. Short term restricted deposits increased to $0.7 million at the end of 2008
compared to $0.5 million recorded at the end of 2007. The changes were mainly due to the
loss we had during 2008. Some of our sales agreements require us to provide a performance
guarantee for a period of between six and twelve months. In order to provide such
guarantees we are required to deposit between 25% and 60% of the guarantee amount. During
2008 we had negative cash flow from operational activity of $1.8 million. The negative
cash flow was mainly due to losses we incurred in 2008.

Our inventories decreased from $5.3
million as of December 31, 2007 to $4 million as of December 31, 2008, reflecting the
world economic downturn and the decrease in our revenues in the fourth quarter of 2008. We
also wrote off some of our inventory as reflected from our future forecast, for more
information please review our Financial Statement for 2008. Inventories as a percentage of
revenues as of December 31, 2008, decreased to 17.8% compared with 24.2% as of December
31, 2007.

The discussion regarding the
Convertible Loan with Mivtach Shamir is hereby incorporated by reference to Item 4,
Information on the Company  Recent Developments. The discussion on
the April Investment, the Amendment Agreement, the April Investment and the Elbit
Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference also to Item 10 Additional
Information  Material Contracts.

Borrowing

From time to time we use money
received from bank loans from several banks to finance our operating activities. Most of
the loans are linked to the U.S. Dollars and for a period of three to 30 months. The
interest rates of those loans are according to the market rate.

Capital Expenditure

The discussion regarding the
ScanMaster and Panoptes acquisitions and the Yuravision acquisition and sale are hereby
incorporated by reference to Item 4, Information on the Company  History
and Development of the Companyand Item 10, Additional Information
 Material Contracts.

C.
          Research and Development, Patents and Licenses, etc.

Our research and development group
focuses on adapting our technologies to the development of new products for applications
in the web and ultrasonic industries as well as enhancing our existing products. We devote
a significant portion of our resources to improving our current systems through
enhancements in the areas of sharpness of resolution, processing speed, sensor accuracy
and illumination. We also continually work to enhance the ease of use and flexibility of
our systems software and to develop product add-ons to augment our systems currently
in use by customers. These product add-ons are being designed to further integrate our
systems into each phase of our customers manufacturing process.

We have a number of product and
technology initiatives underway at any given time. Our research and development activities
have generally resulted in periodic introductions of new products, new auxiliaries and
upgrades to our existing products. Current product and technology initiatives include,
among others, the following:

For our developments in the
NonDestructive Automated Inspection Systems Division we are expanding our
capabilities by developing multi transducers of automatic calibration, different process
algorithms and a scanner capable of inspecting in 2.5 dimensions. We are also expanding
our capabilities to provide portable Non-Destructive Automated Inspection instruments for
automotive and industrial applications.

As of May 2009, our research and
development staff consisted of 23 full-time employees, all of whom are located in Israel
and hold advanced technical degrees. Our research and development staff engages in
hardware, electro-optics and ultrasonic development, real-time software development, PC
software development, manufacturing engineering, system engineering and customer support
engineering. Our research and development staff for the web industry consisted of 4 full
time employees, and our research and development staff for the ultrasonic industry
consisted 19 full time employees. In 2006 our gross research and development expenditures
for the web industry were approximately $1.6 million, in 2007 they were $1.5 million and
in 2008 they were $1.3 million. These expenditures were partially offset by grants by the
OCS of the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor of the Government of Israel of
approximately $145,000 in 2006.

# Research and Development
Grants

The Government of Israel encourages
research and development projects oriented towards products for export through the OCS.
Since inception, we have received grants from the OCS for the development of various
systems and products. Under the terms of these grants, a royalty of 3% to 5% of the net
sales of products developed from a project funded by the OCS must be paid, beginning with
the commencement of sales of products developed with grant funds and ending when 100% of
the dollar value of the grant is repaid. The terms of Israeli government participation
also require that the manufacture of products developed with government grants be
performed in Israel, unless a special approval has been granted by the OCS. Such approval,
if granted, is generally subject to an increase in the total amount to be repaid to the
OCS to between 120% and 300% of the amount granted, depending on the extent of the
manufacturing to be conducted outside of Israel. Separate Israeli government consent is
required to transfer to third parties technologies developed through projects in which the
government participates. Such restrictions do not apply to exports from Israel of products
developed with such technologies. For more information, see Item 10, Additional
Information  Taxation.

50

---

---

Pursuant to regulations, effective
with regard to OCS grants received under programs approved after January 1, 1999,
repayments of such grants will be subject to interest at an annual rate of LIBOR for 12
months applicable to Dollar deposits, which will accrue annually based on the LIBOR rate
published on the first day of each year.

Royalty-bearing grants received from
the Government of Israel for research and development are offset against our gross
research and development expenditures on development of products only for the textile
industry.

The following table sets forth net
research and development expenses, the grants received from the OCS and the gross research
and development expenditures for the periods indicated.

# D. Trend Information

The current economic downturn has
materially affected our business and we expect to continue to witness a decline in the
purchase orders for our products. The economic downturn has caused uncertainty in our
markets, and may result in further decreases in capital expenditures.

Our NDT division, which has been
responsible for the majority of our revenues over recent years, has suffered a significant
decrease in orders. The areas which have been most affected by the global economic
downturn are the pipe and plate industries, where orders for which have been particularly
affected by the collapse of the US automotive industry. Orders from our customers in the
aircraft and aerospace industries have also decreased, though to a lesser degree.

We are witnessing increased interest
in national infrastructure projects such as railways and while this has not yet resulted
in current orders, we expect that this will have a positive impact on our NDT sales in the
medium term.

Our AOI division has also been
significantly affected by the global downturn with an almost complete cessation of orders
in the woven fabric sector. The non-woven sector has also been affected but to a lesser
degree. It is difficult to predict at this stage the extent to which our traditional
customers will return to purchase our products in significant amounts.

In 2008 we reduced our inventory by
$1.15 million due to the anticipated lower demand for our products and the cancellation of
the Indian Project. We adjusted our inventory policy to a more conservative method, such
that for the most part we acquire inventory per purchase order, thereby reducing our
accumulated inventories.

# E. Off-Balance Sheet
Arrangements.

We do not have any off-balance sheet
arrangements which have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future
effect on the financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses,
results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources, of our
company and its subsidiaries.

adopted due to changes in Israels business and legal environment and the entering
into effect of the Companies Law, which replaced the Companies Ordinance. The new articles
of association adopted following our February 21, 2006 shareholders meeting, include
the following changes: (i) with the exception of resolutions which require the affirmative
vote of a special majority pursuant to the Companies Law, all other resolutions shall be
passed by an ordinary majority; and (ii) to the extent permitted by the Companies Law, the
board will have the ability to declare dividends (in cash or in kind) to shareholders
without shareholder approval.

The Companies Law which entered into
effect on February 1, 2000 and was amended most recently in March 2005, requires the board
of directors of a public company to determine the number of directors who shall possess
accounting and financial expertise, as defined in the regulations promulgated on December
5, 2005, taking into account the type of company, its size, the extent of its activities
and the complexity of the companys operations. For further information on the
appointment of directors, please see Item 7, Major Shareholders and Related Party
Transactions  Voting Agreements.

Our articles of association provide
that any director may, by written notice, appoint another person to serve as a substitute
director and may cancel such appointment. A person may not serve as a substitute director
for more than one director and may not serve both as a director and as a substitute
director. Appointment of a substitute director for a member of a committee of the board of
directors is only permitted if the substitute is a member of the board of directors and
does not regularly serve as a member of such committee. If the committee member being
substituted is an external director, such substitute may only be another external director
possessing the same expertise as the external director being substituted and may not be a
regular member of such committee.

The term of appointment of a
substitute director may be for one meeting of the board of directors or for a specified
period or until notice is given of the cancellation of the appointment. Any substitute
director shall have all of the rights and obligations of the director appointing him or
her, except the power to appoint a substitute, unless the instrument appointing him
provides otherwise, and the right to remuneration. The substitute director may not act at
any meeting at which the director appointing him or her is present. Unless the time period
or scope of any appointment is limited by the appointing director, the appointment is
effective for all purposes, but will expire upon the expiration of the appointing
directors term. To our knowledge, no director currently intends to appoint any other
person as a substitute director, except if the director is unable to attend a meeting of
the board of directors.

The Companies Law, requires Israeli
companies with shares that have been offered to the public in or outside of Israel to
appoint no less than two external directors. No person may be appointed as an external
director if the person or the persons relative, partner, employer or any entity
under the persons control, has or had, on or within the two years preceding the date
of the persons appointment to serve as external director, any affiliation with the
company or any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the company.
The term affiliation includes:

| | an
employment relationship;
|- | ---------------------------

| | a
business or professional relationship maintained on a regular basis;
|- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------

| | control;
and
|- | ------------

| | service
as an office holder.
|- | ----------------------------

A
person shall be qualified to serve as an external director only if he or she possesses
accounting and financial expertise or professional qualifications. At least one external
director must posses accounting and financial expertise. The conditions and criteria for
possessing accounting and financial expertise or professional qualifications were recently
determined in regulations promulgated by the Israeli Minister of Justice in consultation
with the Israeli Securities Authority. These regulations do not appear to relate to
external directors currently serving. The regulations mandate that a person is deemed to
have expertise in finance and accounting if his or her education, experience
and qualifications provide him or her with expertise and understanding in business matters
 accounting and financial statements, in a way that allows him or her to understand,
in depth, the companys financial statements and to encourage discussion about the
manner in which the financial data is presented.

The
companys board of directors must evaluate the proposed external directors
expertise in finance and accounting, by considering, among other things, his or her
education, experience and knowledge in the following: (i) accounting and auditing issues
typical to the field in which the company operates and to companies of a size and
complexity similar to such company; (ii) a companys independent public
accountants duties and obligations; (iii) preparing company financial statements and
their approval in accordance with the Companies Law and the Israeli Securities Law.

A
director is deemed to be professionally qualified if he or she meets any of
the following criteria: (i) has an academic degree in any of the following professions:
economics, business administration, accounting, law or public administration; (ii) has a
different academic degree or has completed higher education in a field that is the
companys main field of operations, or a field relevant to his or her position; or
(iii) has at least five years experience in any of the following, or has a total of five
years experience in at least two of the following: (A) a senior position in the business
management of a corporation with significant operations, (B) a senior public position or a
senior position in public service, or (C) a senior position in the companys main
field of operations. The board of directors here too must evaluate the proposed external
directors professional qualification in accordance with the criteria set
forth above.

The
affidavit required by law to be signed by a candidate to serve as an external director
must include a statement by such candidate concerning his or her education and experience,
if relevant, in order that the board of directors may properly evaluate whether such
candidate meets the requirements set forth in the regulations. Additionally, the candidate
should submit documents and certificates that support the statements set forth in the
affidavit.

No
person may serve as an external director if the persons position or other business
activities create, or may create, a conflict of interest with the persons
responsibilities as an external director or may otherwise interfere with the persons
ability to serve as an external director. If, at the time external directors are to be
appointed, all current members of the board of directors are of the same gender, then at
least one external director must be of the other gender.

External directors are to be elected
by a majority vote at a shareholders meeting, provided that either:

| | the
majority of shares voted at the meeting, including at least one-third of the shares held
by non-controlling shareholders voted at the meeting, vote in favor of election of the
director; or
|- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | the
total number of shares held by non-controlling shareholders voted against the election of
the director does not exceed one percent of the aggregate voting rights in the company.
|- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The initial term of an external
director is three years and may be extended for an additional three years. External
directors may be removed only by the same percentage of shareholders as is required for
their election, or by a court, and then only if the external directors cease to meet the
statutory qualifications for their appointment or if they violate their duty of loyalty to
the company. Each committee of a companys board of directors must include at least
one external director.

An external director is entitled to
compensation as provided in regulations adopted under the new Companies Law and is
otherwise prohibited from receiving any other compensation, directly or indirectly, in
connection with service provided as an external director.

Currently, Messrs. Schwartz and Uzani
serve as our external directors.

The Companies Law requires public
companies to appoint an audit committee. The responsibilities of the audit committee
include identifying irregularities in the management of the companys business and
approving related party transactions as required by law. An audit committee must consist
of at least three directors, including the external directors of the company. The chairman
of the board of directors, any director employed by or otherwise providing services to the
company, and a controlling shareholder or any relative of a controlling shareholder, may
not be a member of the audit committee.

Our two external directors Messrs.
Schwartz and Uzani serve on the audit committee of the board of directors.

Under the Companies Law, the board of
directors must appoint an internal auditor, nominated by the audit committee. The role of
the internal auditor is to examine, among other matters, whether the companys
actions comply with the law and orderly business procedure. Under the Companies Law, the
internal auditor may be an employee of the company but not an office holder, or an
affiliate, or a relative of an office holder or affiliate, and he may not be the
companys independent accountant or its representative.

We
believe that our success will depend, in large part, on our ability to attract and retain
highly-skilled engineering, managerial and sales and marketing personnel. Competition for
such personnel is intense.

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 Associations) are applicable to our employees by order
of the Israeli Ministry of Labor. These provisions concern principally the length of the
workday, minimum daily wages for professional workers, 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.

60

---

---

Israeli
law generally requires severance pay, which may be funded by Managers Insurance
described below, upon the retirement or death of an employee or termination of employment
without cause (as defined in the law). These payments amount to approximately 8.33% of
wages. Furthermore, 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. The
payments to the National Insurances Institute are equal to approximately 14.5% of the
wages (up to a specified amount), of which the employee contributes approximately 66% and
the employer contributes approximately 34%.

Although
not legally required, we contribute funds on behalf of most of our employees to a fund
known as Managers Insurance. This fund provides a combination of savings
plan, insurance and severance pay benefits to the employee, giving the employee a lump sum
payment upon retirement and securing the severance pay, if legally entitled, upon
termination of employment. We decide whether each employee is entitled to participate in
the plan, and each employee who agrees to participate contributes an amount equal to 5% of
a salary and the employer contributes between 13.3% and 15.8% of a salary.

# E. Share Ownership

Of the persons listed above under the
caption Directors, Senior Management and Employees, Mr. Nir Alon beneficially
own shares and options exceeding 1% of our outstanding ordinary shares since Mr. Nir Alon
is the controlling shareholder of Altro, our majority shareholder. Mr. Shlomo Alon, Nir
Alons father, who served as a member of our board of directors until March 2, 2006,
beneficially owns shares and options exceeding 1% of our outstanding ordinary shares.

Employee Share Option
Plans

We maintain the following share
option plans for our employees and the employees of our subsidiaries. In addition to the
discussion below, see Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements.

In February 1996, the board of
directors adopted a share option plan, or the 1996 Share Option Plan, pursuant to which
565,720 ordinary shares were reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options to be
granted to our directors, officers, employees, and consultants. As of May 31, 2009,
options to purchase 2,000 of such ordinary shares were outstanding and the remaining
options have expired. All of the outstanding options are fully vested and are exercisable
at an exercise price of $0.2 per share. All of the outstanding options terminate ten years
following the date of grant if not exercised earlier or terminated by reason of
termination of employment.

administered by a committee of the board of directors, which designates the optionees and
dates of grant. The option exercise price is determined by our board of directors. All
recent grants have been made at an exercise price equal or above to the fair market value
of our shares. The options are non-assignable except by the laws of succession. The last
date on which the options may be granted was February 2006. The remaining options will be
exercisable for a period up to ten years from the date of grant and will generally vest

directors, which designates the optionees and dates of grant. The option exercise price
is determined by our board of directors. All recent grants have been made at an exercise
price equal to or above the fair market value of our shares. The options are
non-assignable except by the laws of descent. The last date on which the options may be

          Includes 75,000 ordinary shares which are subject to an option to purchase
          shares granted by Mr. Alon to Mr. Barath on March 29, 2001, and 600,000 ordinary

(3)    
          Mr. Nir Alon is deemed to be the beneficial owner of all of the shares held by
          MA & AT Handels GmbH.

(4)    
          In an agreement between Elbit and Mivtach, dated July 29, 2007, the parties
          agreed to vote their shares at meetings of our shareholders at which members of
          the board are to be elected, as follows: (a) to elect to our board one director
          nominated by Mivtach, who shall serve as chairman of our board, and (b) to elect
          to our board one director nominated by Elbit; provided that the party entitled
          to nominate a director continues to at least hold 7.5% of our share capital on a
          fully diluted basis. A reduction of a partys holdings shall only be deemed
          to occur upon a sale by one of the parties, of our ordinary shares. If a party
          fails to meet the 7.5% threshold it shall lose the right to nominate a director
          and such right shall be granted to the party who at such time holds the highest
          number of our ordinary shares. Additionally, the parties to the agreement agreed
          that in the event that and for as long as Mivtach continues to hold at least 15%
          of our share capital on a fully diluted basis, the parties will vote their
          shares at meetings of our shareholders at which members of the board are to be
          elected as follows: (a) to elect to our board two directors nominated by
          Mivtach, one of whom shall serve as chairman of our board, and (b) to elect to
          our board one director nominated by Elbit. A reduction of a partys
          holdings shall only be deemed to occur upon a sale by a shareholder of our
          ordinary shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time during the term of
          the agreement, Elbit may, in its absolute discretion, by notice in writing to
          Mivtach, voluntarily terminate its right to designate a director to our board of
          directors. In such an event the right to designate the director to our board of
          directors shall be granted to Mivtach and Elbit shall be obliged to vote its
          shares in favor of the nominee designated by Mivtach. A party whose holdings of
          our share capital falls below 5% of our share capital on a fully diluted basis,
          shall, as from the time of such change, automatically cease to be a party to the
          agreement.

          owns the majority of the outstanding shares of IDB Development Corporation Ltd.,
          or IDBD, which, in turn, owns the majority of the outstanding shares of DIC. As

In an agreement which Elbit and
Mivtach have agreed to execute in the event that the shareholders approve the Amendment
Agreement and the Elbit Agreement, the parties will agree to vote their shares at meetings
of our shareholders at which members of the board are to be elected, as follows: (a) to
elect to our board one director nominated by Mivtach, who shall serve as chairman of our
board, and (b) to elect to our board one director nominated by Elbit; provided that the
party entitled to nominate a director continues to hold 7.5% of our share capital on a
fully diluted basis. A reduction of a partys holdings shall only be deemed to occur
upon a sale by one of the parties, of our ordinary shares. If a shareholder fails to meet
the 7.5% threshold it shall lose the right to nominate a director and such right shall be
granted to the shareholder who at such time holds the highest number of our ordinary
shares. Additionally, the parties to the agreement agreed to vote their shares at meetings
of our shareholders at which members of the board are to be elected as follows: (a) to
elect to our board two directors nominated by Mivtach, one of whom shall serve as chairman
of our board, and (b) to elect to our board one director nominated by Elbit; provided that
the party entitled to nominate a director continues to hold 15% of our share capital on a
fully diluted basis. A reduction of a partys holdings shall only be deemed to occur
upon a sale by a shareholder of our Ordinary Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
prior to May 14, 2008, Elbit holds less than the 7.5% threshold other than if any
reductions in Elbits holdings are as a result of sales of our shares by Elbit, Elbit
shall maintain its right to designate one member of the board, until May 14, 2008. A party
whose holdings of our share capital falls below 5% of our share capital on a fully diluted
basis, shall, as from the time of such change, automatically cease to be a party to the
agreement. Elbit may, by written notice to Mivtach, voluntarily terminate its right to
designate a director to our board of directors. In such case, the right to designate a
director, which Elbit terminated, shall be granted to Mivtach and Elbit shall be obliged
to vote its shares in favor of the nominee designated by Mivtach. Pursuant to the
agreement, the parties also granted each other mutual rights of first offer and tag-along
rights with respect to a private sale of our ordinary shares.

Consulting Agreement with
MA&AT

On

receives services from, but is not controlled by, Mr. Nir Alon (a member of our board of
directors), which includes the provision of consulting services by Mr. Alon to us for a

of consulting services to us, through its designated representative, Mr. Alon. This
agreement superseded and replaced the consulting agreement dated May 1, 2006. Pursuant to
the agreement, Mr. Alon will promote sales of our UT Products in Europe (excluding
France), India and South Africa in consideration for: (i) a monthly fee of $15,000, (ii) a
commission on sales made by us of our UT products in Europe (excluding France), India and
South Africa, unless Mr. Alon was not involved is such sale, in an amount of 2% of the net
sale price of the products, (iii) an additional commission of 1% of gross profit per UT
product, (iv) reimbursement of reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the
performance of the consulting services, and (v) a car provided for the purpose of
fulfilling the consulting services. The agreement also includes a non-competition
provision restricting MA&AT and Mr. Alon from competing with us during the term of the
agreement and for a year following the termination of the agreement. This new agreement

Indemnification Agreements

On
March 24, 2008, following approval by our audit committee and board of directors, our
shareholders approved indemnification agreements with each of our current and future
directors. The indemnification agreements provide, among other things, for the
indemnification of our directors for up to $3 million for each case (in addition to any
amounts paid out under an insurance policy) and their exemption from their duty of care
in certain circumstances.

Commission to Mr. Nir Alon

On
March 24, 2008, following approval by our audit committee and board of directors, our
shareholders approved the payment of a certain commission to Mr. Nir Alon, a director of
the Company, equal to five percent (5%) of the aggregate proceeds paid to the Company by
UB Precision Co., Ltd., from the sale of all of the shares of Yuravision Co. Ltd., held
by the Company, or the Yuravision Shares, and the assignment of creditors rights
under a certain loan granted to Yuravision. Mr. Alon represented the Company in its

Precision.

Amendment
to the Management Services Agreement with MEO Consulting Ltd.

At
a meeting of our shareholders dated February 15, 2006, our shareholders approved an
agreement, between us and MEO, pursuant to which we paid MEO, a monthly fee of $13,500
plus Value Added Tax for Mr. Gals services as Chairman of our Board of Directors. At
the annual general meeting of our shareholders held on November 20, 2006, our shareholders
approved the appointment of Mr. Gal as our Chief Executive Officer, in addition to his
service as Chairman of our Board of Directors. Due to his additional responsibilities as
Chief Executive Officer, our shareholders approved at a meeting held on July 31, 2007 an
increase in the monthly fee payable to MEO of $21,500 plus Value Added Tax payable from
January 1, 2007 (the Agreement). On February 2, 2009, following approval by
our audit committee and board of directors, our shareholders approved a further amendment
to the Agreement so that payment of the monthly $21,500 plus VAT shall be made in New
Israeli Shekels (NIS) based on a minimum exchange rate of NIS 4.00 to USD
1.00, such that the Company shall pay MEO the monthly sum of at least NIS 86,000 plus VAT
commencing January 1, 2008. In April 2009 David Gal resigned as the Companys Chief
Executive Officer. We are currently negotiating the terms of his resignation.

# A. Consolidated
Statements and Other Financial Information

Our consolidated financial statements
and other financial information are incorporated herein by reference to pages F1-F41.

# Export Sales

In 2008, 96.6% of our
sales, amounting to $21,342,000 were due to our products being exported outside of Israel.

# Litigation

Other than the claims described
below, we are not a party to any material litigation and are not aware of any pending or
threatened litigation that would have a material adverse effect on our business or us.

Following
the cancellation of a contract, or the Indian Project, between ScanMaster and the Research
and Design Standards Organization of the Ministry of Railways of India, or RDSO, RDSO
demanded the exercise of certain down-payment guarantees and a performance guarantee
received from ScanMaster from the State Bank of India, as counter guaranteed by Bank
Hapoalim BM, or Hapoalim. As a result, on November 14, 2006, ScanMaster petitioned the
Indian court in Lucknow to receive an order to prevent RDSO from exercising the bank
guarantees. The court denied ScanMasters request, pursuant to which the guarantees
were exercised in the amount of $414,125 pursuant to the performance guarantee and
$2,481,175 pursuant to the down-payment guarantees.

On
November 7, 2007, we received a letter from the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Labor
 Fund for the Encouragement of Marketing Abroad (the Fund), claiming
that it had failed to pay royalties to the Fund since 1999 in the aggregate amount of
$480,818. On November 21, 2007, we sent a letter to the Fund in which we stated that the
Fund had not requested any of these royalties for many years despite our written request
to clarify the issue. In our letter we stated that a material amount of the royalties
could no longer be claimed due to the operation of the statute of limitations and that in
any event the Fund may be estopped from making at least part of the claims as a result of
its non-response to our inquiry. On December 18, 2007, we met with representatives of the
Fund to discuss the issue. We have yet to receive a response to the meeting. On November
4, 2007, the Manufacturers Association of Israel (MAI) filed a claim with the
Tel-Aviv-Jaffa District Labor Court against our company, claiming we have failed to pay
MAI its annual handling fees over the past 7 years and claiming NIS 200,000 (approximately
$57,143). On December 11, 2007, the court decided that in the absence of any objections
from the parties, the claim would be transferred to the Nazereth District Labor Court. A
hearing on the matter has been set for May 20, 2008 at the Nazereth District Labor Court.
We are required to file our defense by April 30, 2008. We are currently in discussions
with MAI to agree a settlement on this matter

On
August 30, 2007, we received notification of a claim filed with the Court of Prato, Italy,
by an Italian customer, Microtex Cottonclub S.p.A. (Microtex) for damages in
the amount of 139,787.97 (approximately $209,682). According to Microtex, we
breached an agreement with Microtex, dated June 30, 2005, by failing to supply it with an
iTex 3000 system. On March 12, 2008, Microtex executed a settlement agreement with us
pursuant to which we agreed to return to Microtex a 13,200 down-payment made by it
for the iTex 3000 and Microtex agreed to withdraw the claim.

Statement of Claim to the Labor Court in Nazareth against our company in which Mr. Kahane
claimed that we owed him an aggregate of $140,241.06 under our bonus compensation plan. On
December 31, 2006, we filed a Statement of Defense with the Labor Court rejecting Mr.
Kahanes claims. On May 30, 2007, the parties reached and executed a settlement
agreement, pursuant to which we paid Mr. Kahane NIS 275,000. On June 7, 2007, the Nazareth
Labor Court approved the settlement agreement.

# Dividend Distributions

We have never paid any cash dividends
on our ordinary shares and we do not intend to pay cash dividends on our ordinary shares
in the foreseeable future. Our current policy is to retain earnings for reinvestment in
our business.

In the event that we decide to pay a
cash dividend from income that is tax exempt under our approved enterprise status, we
would be liable for corporate tax on the amount distributed at the rate of up to 25%.
Income not derived from an approved enterprise in 2007 is taxable at regular rates of 31%.

initial public offering of 2,000,000 ordinary shares. At such time, our ordinary shares
were quoted on the NASDAQ National Market. Our ordinary shares were quoted on the NASDAQ

SmallCap Market and following a seven business day period in which the shares were traded
on the Pink Sheets (as a result of an error by the NASDAQ Listings Qualifications Panel),
our ordinary shares were listed on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board from November 28,
2003. For further information, see Item 3, Key Information  Risk Factors

# Memorandum and Articles
of Association

A. Share Capital. Not
applicable

# B. Memorandum and
Articles of Association

Our shareholders approved our
articles of association on February 21, 2006. Our objective as stated in our articles of
association is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which companies may be
organized under the Israeli Companies Law-1999, as amended.

Currently we have one class of
outstanding securities, our ordinary shares, par value NIS 1.00 per share. No preferred
shares are currently authorized.

Holders of our ordinary shares have
one vote per share, and are entitled to participate equally in the payment of dividends
and share distributions and, in the event of our liquidation, in the distribution of
property after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors. Our articles may be amended by a
resolution carried at a general meeting by a majority of the shares voting on such
resolution. The shareholders rights may not be modified in any other way unless otherwise
expressly provided in the terms of issuance of the shares.

Our articles of association require
that we hold our annual general meeting of shareholders each year no later than 15 months
from the last annual meeting, at a time and place determined by the board of directors,
upon at least 21 days prior notice to our shareholders. No business may be commenced until
a minimum quorum under applicable law, which currently provides for two or more
shareholders holding at least one-quarter of the voting rights are present in person or by
proxy. A meeting adjourned for lack of a quorum is adjourned to the same day in the
following week at the same time and place. At the reconvened meeting, in the event a
quorum is not present within half an hour of the time fixed for the meetings commencement,
then any two shareholders present shall constitute a quorum, regardless of the number of
shares held by them.

71

---

---

Shareholders may vote in person or by
proxy, and will be required to prove title to their shares as required by the Companies
Law pursuant to procedures established by the board of directors. Resolutions regarding
the following matters must be passed at a general meeting of shareholders:

| | amendments
to our articles of association;
|- | ------------------------------------------

| | appointment
or termination of our auditors;
|- | -------------------------------------------

| | appointment
 and  dismissal  of  directors,  other than  temporary  directors  which may be
 appointed  by other       directors;
|- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | approval
of acts and transactions requiring general meeting approval under the Companies Law;
|- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | increase
or reduction of our authorized share capital;
|- | ------------------------------------------------------

| | any
merger as provided in Section 320 of the Companies Law;
|- | -----------------------------------------------------------

| | the
exercise of the board of directors powers by a general meeting, if the board of
directors is unable to exercise its powers and the exercise of any of its powers is vital
for our proper management, as provided in Section 52(a) of the Companies Law.
|- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A meeting of our shareholders shall
be convened by our board of directors, at the request of any two directors or one quarter
of the officiating directors, or by request of one or more shareholders holding at least
5% of our issued share capital. Within 21 days of receipt of the request, the board must
convene a meeting and send out notices setting forth the date, time and place of the
meeting.

The Israeli Companies Law

The 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 Companies Law, as a (i)
director, (ii) general manager, (iii) chief business manager, (iv) deputy general manager,
(v) vice general manager, (vi) any other person assuming the responsibilities of any of
the forgoing positions without regard to such persons title or (vii) another manager
directly subordinate to the general manager.

The Companies Law requires that an
office holder of a company promptly disclose any personal interest that he or she may have
and all related material information known to him or her, in connection with any existing
or proposed transaction by the company. In addition, if the transaction is an
extraordinary transaction, as defined under Israeli law, 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 is a 5% or greater
shareholder, holder of 5% or more of the voting power, director or general manager or in
which he or she has the right to appoint at least one director or the general manager. An
extraordinary transaction is defined as a transaction not in the ordinary course of the
companys business, not on market terms, or that is likely to have a material impact
on the companys profitability, assets or liabilities.

In the case of a transaction that is
not an extraordinary transaction, after the office holder complies with the above
disclosure requirement, only board approval is required unless the articles of association
of the company provide otherwise. The transaction must not be adverse to the
companys interest. If the transaction is an extraordinary transaction, then, in
addition to any approval required by the articles of association, it must also be approved
by the audit committee and by the board of directors, and, under specified circumstances,
by a meeting of the shareholders.

72

---

---

Agreements regarding directors
terms of employment require the approval of the audit committee and the board of
directors. In all matters in which a director has a personal interest, including matters
of his/her terms of employment and compensation, he/she shall not be permitted to vote on
the matter or be present at the meeting in which the matter is considered. However, should
a majority of the audit committee or of the board of directors have a personal interest in
the matter then:

| | a) | all
of the directors shall be permitted to vote on the matter and attend the
          meeting in which the matter is considered; and
| | -- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | b) | the
matter requires approval of the shareholders at a general meeting.
| | -- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------

According to the Companies Law, the
disclosure requirements discussed above also apply to a controlling shareholder of a
public company. In general, extraordinary transactions with a controlling shareholder or
in which a controlling shareholder has a personal interest, and agreements relating to
employment and compensation terms of a controlling shareholder require the approval of the
audit committee, the board of directors and the shareholders of the company. For this
purpose, the term controlling shareholder is defined as a shareholder who has
the ability to direct the activities of a company, other than if this power derives solely
from the shareholders position on the board of directors or any other position with
the company. The definition also includes shareholders that hold 25% or more of the voting
rights if no other shareholder owns more than 50% of the voting rights in the company.

The shareholder approval must either
include at least one-third of the shares held by disinterested shareholders who actively
participate in the voting process, or, alternatively, the total shareholdings of the
disinterested shareholders who vote against the transaction must not represent more than
one percent of the voting rights in the company.

Private placements in a public
company require approval by a companys board of directors and shareholders in the
following cases:

| |  | A
private placement that meets all of the following conditions:
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | The
private placement will increase the relative holdings of a shareholder that holds five
percent or more of the companys outstanding share capital, assuming the exercise of
all of the securities convertible into shares held by that person, or that will cause any
person to become, as a result of the issuance, a holder of more than five percent of the
companys outstanding share capital.
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | 20
percent or more of the voting rights in the company prior to such issuance are being
offered.
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | All
or part of the consideration for the offering is not cash or registered securities, or
the private placement is not being offered at market terms.
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | A
private placement which results in anyone becoming a controlling shareholder of the
public company.
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

73

---

---

In addition, under the Companies Law,
certain transactions or a series of transactions are considered to be one private
placement. Any placement of securities that does not fit the above description may be
issued at the discretion of the board of directors.

Under the Companies Law, a
shareholder has a duty to act in good faith towards the company and other shareholders and
refrain from abusing his, her or its power in the company, including, among other things,
voting in the general meeting of shareholders on the following matters:

| | any
amendment to the articles of association;
|- | ---------------------------------------------

| | an
increase of the company's authorized share capital;
|- | ------------------------------------------------------

| | a
merger; or
|- | ------------

| | approval
of interested party transactions that require shareholder approval.
|- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, any controlling
shareholder, any shareholder who knows that it possesses power to determine the outcome of
a shareholder vote and any shareholder who has the power to appoint or prevent the
appointment office holder in the company is under a duty to act in good faith towards the
company. The Companies Law does not describe the substance of this duty. The Companies Law
requires that specified types of transactions, actions and arrangements be approved as
provided for in a companys articles of association and in some circumstances by the
audit committee, by the board of directors and by the shareholders. The vote required by
the audit committee and the board of directors for approval of these matters, in each
case, is a majority of the disinterested directors participating in a duly convened
meeting.

Provisions Restricting
Change in Control of Our Company

Tender Offer. A person wishing
to acquire shares or any class of shares of a publicly traded Israeli company and who
would as a result hold over 90% of the companys issued and outstanding share capital
or of a class of shares which are listed, is required by the Companies Law to make a
tender offer to all of the companys shareholders for the purchase of all of the
issued and outstanding shares of the company. If the shareholders who do not respond to
the offer hold less than 5% of the issued share capital of the company, all of the shares
that the acquirer offered to purchase will be transferred to the acquirer by operation of
law. The Companies Law provides for an exception regarding the threshold requirement for a
shareholder that prior to and following February 2000 holds over 90% of a companys
issued and outstanding share capital. However, the shareholders may petition the court to
alter the consideration for the acquisition. If the dissenting shareholders hold more than
5% of the issued and outstanding share capital of the company, the acquirer may not
acquire additional shares of the company from shareholders who accepted the tender offer
if following such acquisition the acquirer would then own over 90% of the companys
issued and outstanding share capital.

The Companies Law provides that an
acquisition of shares of 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% shareholder of the
company. Similarly, the 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 45% or greater shareholder of the company, if there is no 45% or
greater shareholder of the company.

Merger. The Companies Law
permits merger transactions if approved by each partys           board of directors
and the majority of each partys shares voted on the           proposed merger at a
shareholders meeting called on at least 21 days          prior notice. Under
the Companies Law, merger transactions may be approved by           holders of a simple
majority of our shares present, in person or by proxy, at a           general meeting and
voting on the transaction. In determining whether the           required majority has
approved the merger, if shares of a company are held by           the other party to the
merger, or by any person holding at least 25% of the           outstanding voting shares
or 25% of the means of appointing directors of the           other party to the merger,
then a vote against the merger by holders of the           majority of the shares present
and voting, excluding shares held by the other           party or by such person, or
anyone acting on behalf of either of them, is           sufficient to reject the merger
transaction. If the transaction would have been           approved but for the exclusion
of the votes of certain shareholders as provided           above, a court may still
approve the merger upon the request of holders of at           least 25% of the voting
rights of a company, if the court holds that the merger           is fair and reasonable,
taking into account the value of the parties to the           merger and the
consideration offered to the shareholders. Upon the request of a           creditor of
either party to the proposed merger, the court may delay or prevent           the merger
if it concludes that there exists a reasonable concern that, as a           result of the
merger, the surviving company will be unable to satisfy the           obligations of any
of the parties to the merger. In addition, a merger may not           be executed unless
at least 30 days have passed from the receipt of the           shareholders approval
and 50 days have passed from the time that a           proposal for approval of the
merger has been filed with the Israeli Registrar of           Companies. See also Item

# C. Material Contracts

Convertible Loan Agreement with
Mivtach Shamir.

On February 21, 2006, we consummated
the Mivtach Agreement. Pursuant to the agreement, Mivtach Shamir provided us with a
two-year $3 million loan, which Mivtach Shamir was entitled at its sole discretion, for a
period of 24 months following the provision of the loan, to convert into 6,000,000 of our
ordinary shares, at a price per share of $0.5 (half the loan was being held in escrow
subject to our completion of a certain milestone, or conversion of the loan). The interest
on the loan was repaid on a quarterly basis. We also granted Mivtach Shamir a two-year
warrant to purchase 4,000,000 of our ordinary shares at an exercise price of $0.5 per
share, exercisable only if the loan was converted. On February 21, 2006, Mivtach Shamir
assigned their right to receive shares from us, under the convertible loan and warrant, to
M.S.N.D. On June 21, 2007 we executed an agreement with M.S.N.D., which was approved by
our shareholders in a meeting of our shareholders held on July 31, 2007, pursuant to
which, the Mivtach Agreement was amended, or the Amendment Agreement. Pursuant to the
Amendment Agreement, the terms of the Mivtach Agreement and the loan therein, were
amended, such that in consideration for M.S.N.D.s undertaking to convert the full
loan amount by no later than August 1, 2007 (a) Mivtach Shamir will be issued with
9,523,810 of our ordinary shares; and (b) Mivtach Shamir will receive a 4-year warrant to
purchase 2,380,952 of our ordinary shares at an exercise price of $0.45 per share. Mivtach
Shamir also agreed to waive its rights to exercise warrants into at least 3,000,000
ordinary shares issuable under the Mivtach Agreement, agreeing to exercise warrants into
no more than 1,000,000 ordinary shares issuable under the Amendment Agreement, which
warrants expired subsequently on February 21, 2008. Following consummation the Amendment
Agreement M.S.N.D, has become a holder of more than 25% of our issued and outstanding
share capital. We also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with M.S.N.D.,
pursuant to which we filed a Registration Statement on Form F-1 on July 31, 2007, covering
all of the ordinary shares and ordinary shares underlying the warrants under the Amendment
Agreement, which had not previously been registered. M.S.N.D. also completed the purchase
of 2,939,192 of our ordinary shares from three of the founders of ScanMaster, in
accordance with the provisions of a share purchase agreement.

Agreement with Elbit and
the Amendment to Registration Rights Agreement with Elbit

On June 21, 2007, following the
approval of our board of directors and our audit committee, we executed an agreement with
Elbit, or the Elbit Agreement. This agreement was approved by our shareholders in a
meeting of our shareholders held on July 31, 2007. Pursuant to this agreement Elbit (i)
converted an existing loan to us in the amount of $470,000 (including accrued interest up
until March 31, 2007) into 1,492,063 of our ordinary shares, at a price of $0.315 per
share; and (ii) invested in us $250,000 in consideration for 793,651 of our ordinary
shares at a price of $0.315 per share and received a 4-year warrant to purchase 396,825 of
our ordinary shares at an exercise price of $0.45 per share. At consummation we paid all
interest accrued on the loan between April 1, 2007 and the closing date. Within the
framework of the Elbit Agreement, pursuant to a registration rights agreement, or the
Elbit Registration Rights Agreement, we undertook to file a Registration Statement
covering all of the ordinary shares and ordinary shares underlying the warrants issued
pursuant to the Elbit Agreement with the Securities and Exchange Commission by no later
that July 31, 2007. We filed a Registration Statement on Form F-1 on July 31, 2007,
covering all such ordinary shares and ordinary shares underlying Elbits warrants.

Following the Elbit Agreement, on
January 1, 2007, we executed an amendment, or the Amendment, to the Elbit Registration
Rights Agreement, which was approved by our shareholders on November 20, 2006, pursuant to
which we agreed to register 2,647,643 of our ordinary shares beneficially owned by Elbit
prior to the Elbit Registration Rights Agreement, or the Original Elbit Shares, by no
later than September 30, 2007. Pursuant to the Amendment, we filed a Registration
Statement on Form F-1 covering the Original Elbit Shares on July 31, 2007.

April Investment.

In July 2007 we completed the April
Investment with a group of Israeli institutional investors, or the Israeli Investors, for
the purchase of 9,465,544 of our ordinary shares for $0.315 per share, or an aggregate
price of $2,981,646. Pursuant to the transaction, the investors were also issued warrants
to purchase 4,732,774 of our ordinary shares at an exercise price per share of $0.45,
exercisable for a period of 4 years. We filed a Registration Statement on Form F-1
covering all of the ordinary shares and ordinary shares underlying the warrants issuable
under the April Investment on July 31, 2007.

Acquisition of Panoptes.

On February 21, 2006, together with
ScanMaster, we acquired the business, assets, and shares of Panoptes, a company that
develops, manufactures and markets machine vision systems for surface inspection, with an
accent on technical woven materials, textiles, and glass fabric, or the Panoptes
Technology. Panoptess machine vision systems inspects fabrics in all stages of
production, from on-loom weaving to finished fabric, and produces images, maps and
statistical data for all visual defects. In connection with such acquisition, we issued
800,000 of our ordinary shares to Maaragim, Panoptess previous shareholder,
and, subject to certain instances, are obligated to pay cash royalties equaling 3.5% of
sales of EVS optical inspection systems between January 1, 2006 and December 31, 2008.

Loan from Mizrahi Bank.

On August 15, 2005 and February 15,
2006, together with ScanMaster we entered into an agreement with Mizrahi Tefahot Bank
Ltd., or Mizrahi, pursuant to which both us and ScanMaster received a credit line for the
aggregate amount of $2,000,000 from Mizrahi. The credit line is secured by a first ranking
floating charge on all of our assets and all the assets of ScanMaster. This credit line
will terminate on June 30, 2007. We also granted Mizrahi a warrant to purchase up to
571,429 ordinary shares, at an exercise price of $0.77 per share. In November 2006 our
board approved to reduce the exercise price to $0.5 per share. The number of our ordinary
shares which we may issue pursuant to the warrant may increase upon certain events, as
defined in the warrant.

Sale of Yuravision.

In June 2004, we purchased Yuravision
Co. Ltd., or Yuravision, a company in the microelectronics and flat-panel display
industries. In 2006 our board of directors and management decided to focus on existing
markets rather than continue developing our microelectronics technologies. As a result, on
December 1, 2006, we executed an agreement with a Korean corporation for the sale of
Yuravision shares in consideration for $950,000, or the Purchase Price, plus the purchase
from us of our right to receive from Yuravision repayment of an $800,000 loan, or the Loan
Amount in consideration for the full value of the loan. Half of the Purchase Price was
paid upon the closing of the transaction on December 15, 2006, and the remaining half of
the Purchase Price was to be payable no later than December 1, 2008. The purchaser
undertook to pay us half of the Loan Amount by no later than December 1, 2008 and the
remaining half, or the Outstanding Payment, by no later than May 1, 2009. The Outstanding
Payment was subject to reduction in the event that certain of the employees of Yuravision
resigned from Yuravision prior to December 1, 2008. We received a stand by letter of
credit from the purchaser guaranteeing payment of the Loan Amount.

On January 28, 2008 we entered into a
modification agreement amending the December 1, 2006 agreement with the Korean
corporation. Pursuant to the modification agreement the Loan Amount was reduced from
$800,000 to $460,000, without any further obligation by the Korean corporation for the
reduced amount of $340,000. The payment terms of the loan were changed so that the Korean
corporation paid us $360,000 by February 4, 2008 and paid us the remaining $100,000 owed
under the loan by January 28, 2009. A payment of $360,000 was made by the Korean
corporation to us on February 4, 2008. The terms for the payment of the purchase price
were not changed.

# D. Exchange Controls

The Government of Israel recently
replaced the general prohibition under the Israel Currency Control Law. Pursuant to the
new general permit, most transactions in foreign currency are permitted. Any dividends or
other distributions paid in respect of ordinary shares and any amounts payable upon the
dissolution, liquidation or winding up of our affairs, as well as the proceeds of any sale
in Israel of our securities to an Israeli resident are freely repatriable into non-Israeli
currencies at the rate of exchange prevailing at the time of conversion, provided that
Israeli income tax has been paid on (or withheld from) such payments. Because exchange
rates between the NIS and the U.S. Dollar fluctuate continuously, U.S. shareholders will
be subject to any such currency fluctuation during the period from when such dividend is
declared through the date that the payment is made in U.S. Dollars. For further discussion
with respect to such currency fluctuation, see Item 5, Operating and Financial
Review and Prospects  Impact of Inflation and Devaluation on Results of Operations,
Liabilities, and Assets.

# E. Taxation

The following is a summary of the
material tax consequences in the United States and Israel to individual and corporate
residents of the United States and Israel resulting from the sale of ordinary shares (i)
issuable to the selling security holders pursuant to the exercise of the Warrants and (ii)
held by the selling security holders. Since we have never paid dividends on our ordinary
shares, this summary does not discuss the tax consequences in Israel or the United States
that would result from the payment of dividends. To the extent that the discussion is
based on tax legislation that has not been subject to judicial or administrative
interpretation, we cannot assure you that the tax authorities will accept the views
expressed in this summary.

Israeli Tax Considerations

The following is a summary of the
current tax law applicable to companies in Israel, with special reference to its effect on
us. The following also contains a discussion of specified Israeli Government programs
benefiting us. To the extent that the discussion is based on tax legislation that has not
been subject to judicial or administrative interpretation, there can be no assurance that
the views expressed in the discussion will be accepted by the tax authorities in question.
The discussion is not intended, and should not be taken, as legal or professional tax
advice and is not exhaustive of all possible tax considerations.

WE RECOMMEND THAT IN ADDITION TO
REVIEWING THE DISCUSSION BELOW, PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS OF OUR ORDINARY SHARES CONSULT
THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE UNITED STATES, ISRAELI OR OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES TO
THEM, BASED UPON THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION
OF ORDINARY SHARES, INCLUDING, IN PARTICULAR, THE EFFECT OF ANY FOREIGN, STATE OR LOCAL
TAXES.

General Corporate Tax
Structure

Israeli companies are subject to
corporate tax at the rate of 27% in the 2008 tax year 26% in the 2009 tax year and 25% in
the 2010 tax year and thereafter. However, the effective tax rate payable by a company
which derives income from an Approved Enterprise (as further discussed below) may be
considerably less.

Law for the Encouragement
of Capital Investments, 1959

Certain of our facilities have been
granted Approved Enterprise status under the Law for the Encouragement of
Capital Investments, 1959, as amended, or the Investment Law. The Investment Law provides
that a capital investment in eligible facilities may, upon application to the Israel
Investment Center of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the State of Israel (referred
to as the Investment Center), be designated as an Approved Enterprise. Each certificate of
approval for an Approved Enterprise relates to a specific investment program delineated
both by its financial scope, including its capital sources and its physical
characteristics, for example, the equipment to be purchased and utilized pursuant to the
program. The tax benefits derived from any such certificate of approval relate only to
taxable income attributable to the specific Approved Enterprise.

A recent amendment to the Investment
Law which came into effect as of April 1, 2005, or the Amendment, significantly changed
the provisions of the Investment Law. The Amendment limits the scope of enterprises which
may be approved by the Investment Center by determining criteria for the approval of a
facility as an Approved Enterprise, such as provisions generally requiring that at least
25% of the income of an Approved Enterprise will be derived from export. Additionally, as
explained below, the Amendment sets forth major changes in the manner in which tax
benefits are awarded under the Investment Law whereby companies no longer require
Investment Center approval (and Approved Enterprise status) in order to qualify for tax
benefits. However, the Investment Law provides that terms and benefits included in any
certificate of approval already granted will remain subject to the provisions of the
Investment Law as in effect on the date of such approval. Therefore the tax benefits
granted to our Approved Enterprises under the Investment Law will generally not be subject
to the provisions of the Amendment.

78

---

---

Tax Benefits Prior to the
Amendment

In general, taxable income of a
company derived from an Approved Enterprise was subject to corporate tax at the maximum
rate of 25% rather than the rates stated above (this will also apply to Approved
Enterprises approved after the Amendment, as explained below). The 25% corporate tax rate
applies for a period of time termed the benefit period. The benefit period is
a period of seven years commencing with the year in which the Approved Enterprise first
generated taxable income. In any event, the benefit period is limited to 12 years from the
commencement of production or 14 years from the year of receipt of approval, whichever is
earlier. Under certain circumstances (as further detailed below), the benefit period may
extend to a maximum of ten years from the commencement of the benefit period. In the event
that a company is operating under more than one approval or that only part of its capital
investments are approved, or a Mixed Enterprise, its effective Company Tax rate is the
result of a weighted combination of the various applicable rates.

A company which qualifies as a
Foreign Investors Company is entitled to an extended benefit period and
to further reductions in the tax rate normally applicable to Approved Enterprises. Subject
to certain conditions, a Foreign Investors Company is a company in which
persons who are not residents in Israel invested more than 25% of its combined
shareholders investment in share capital (in terms of rights to profits, voting and
the appointment of directors, share capital including long-term shareholders loans,
and share capital only), as defined in the Investment Law. The percentage owned by
nonresidents of Israel for any tax year will be determined by the lowest percentage of any
of the above rights held by nonresidents during that year. Such a company will pay
corporate tax at reduced rates for an extended ten-year (rather than the otherwise
applicable seven-year) period as detailed below:

|Level of Foreign Investment | Corporate Tax Rate | Benefit period (years)
|--------------------------- | ------------------ | ----------------------
|
|
|
|
|Over 0% but less than 25%   | 25%                | 7                     
|                           
|Over 25% but less than 49%  | 25%                | 10                    
|                           
|Over 49% but less than 74%  | 20%                | 10                    
|                           
|Over 74% but less than 90%  | 15%                | 10                    
|                           
|90% or more                 | 10%                | 10                    

There can be no assurance that the
above-mentioned shareholding proportion will be reached by us.

Prior to the Amendment, a company
owning an Approved Enterprise approved after April 1, 1986 (or prior thereto provided no
government grants had previously been granted regarding such enterprise) was entitled to
elect (as we have) to forego certain Government grants extended to Approved Enterprises in
return for an alternative benefits track, or the Alternative Track. Under the
Alternative Track, a companys undistributed income derived from an Approved
Enterprise is exempt from corporate tax for a period of between two and ten years from the
first year of taxable income, depending on the geographic location of the Approved
Enterprise within Israel, and such company is eligible for the reduced tax rates under the
Investment Law for the remainder of the benefit period as mentioned above.

79

---

---

The entitlement to the above benefits
is conditional upon fulfillment of the conditions stipulated by the law, regulations
published thereunder and the instruments of approval for the specific investments in the
Approved Enterprise. In the event of failure to comply with these conditions, the benefits
may be canceled and a company may be required to refund the amount of the benefits, in
whole or in part, with the addition of linkage differences, interest and penalties.

Should we derive income from sources
other than the Approved Enterprise during the relevant periods of benefits, such income
will be taxable at regular corporate tax rates.

A company that elected the
Alternative Track and that subsequently pays a dividend out of income derived from the
Approved Enterprise(s) during the tax exemption period will be subject to corporate tax in
the year the dividend is distributed in respect of the amount distributed (including the
corporate tax thereon), at the rate that would have been applicable had the company not
elected the Alternative Route (10%-25%, depending on the level of foreign investment in
the company, as explained above). In addition, the dividend recipient is taxed at the
reduced rate applicable to dividends from Approved Enterprises (15%), if the dividend is
distributed during the tax exemption period or within a specified period thereafter (In
the event, however, that the company qualifies as a Foreign Investors Company, there
is no such time limitation). This tax must be withheld by the company at source,
regardless of whether the dividend is converted into foreign currency.

Subject to certain provisions
concerning income subject to the Alternative Track, all dividends are considered to be
attributable to the entire enterprise and the effective tax rate is the result of a
weighted combination of the various applicable tax rates.

The Investment Law also provides that
an Approved Enterprise is entitled to accelerated depreciation on its property and
equipment that are included in an approved investment program.

Grants and certain other incentives
received by a company in accordance with the Investment Law remain subject to final
ratification by the Israel Investment Center and final determination by the Israel Tax
Authority. Such ratification and determination are conditional upon fulfillment of all of
the terms of the approved program.

Tax Benefits under the
Amendment

As a result of the Amendment, it is
no longer required to acquire Approved Enterprise status in order to receive the tax
benefits previously available under the Alternative Track of benefits and therefore
companies need not apply to the Investment Center for this purpose. However, the
Investment Center will continue to grant Approved Enterprise status to companies seeking
governmental grants. A company may claim the tax benefits offered by the Investment Law
directly in its tax returns, provided that its facilities meet the criteria for tax
benefits set forth in the Amendment, or a Benefited Enterprise. Companies are also
entitled to approach the Israeli Tax Authority and request for a pre-ruling regarding
their eligibility for benefits under the Amendment. The Amendment includes provisions
intended to ensure that a company will not enjoy both government grants and tax benefits
for the same investment program.

80

---

---

Tax benefits are available under the
Amendment to production facilities and to other eligible facilities, which are generally
required to derive more than 25% of their business income from export. In order to receive
the tax benefits, the Amendment states that the company must make an investment in the
Benefited Enterprise exceeding a minimum amount specified in the Investment Law. Such
investment may be made over a period of no more than three years concluding at the end of
the year in which the company requests to have the tax benefits apply to its Benefited
Enterprise, or the Year of Election. Where the company requests to have the tax benefits
apply to an expansion of existing facilities, only the expansion will be considered a
Benefited Enterprise and the companys effective tax rate will be the result of a
weighted combination of the applicable rates. In the case of an expansion of existing
facilities, the minimum investment required in order to qualify as a Benefited Enterprise
is determined as the lower of a certain percentage of the companys production assets
before the expansion and a minimal amount of NIS 300,000.

The tax benefits available under the
Amendment to qualifying income of a Benefited Enterprise are determined by the geographic
location of the Benefited Enterprise in Israel. The Investment Law divides the country
into three zones  A, B and all other areas (Zone C), so that a Benefited
Enterprise operating in Zone A (which generally includes areas remote from the center of
Israel) will receive the greatest benefits and Benefited Enterprises in Zone C will
receive the least benefits.

The Amendment provides that a company
producing income from a Benefited Enterprise in Zone A may elect either that (i) the
undistributed income derived from the Benefited Enterprise will be fully tax exempt for
the entire benefit period described below, or tax exemption, in which case the ordinary
provisions described below concerning the taxation of the company and shareholder for
distribution of dividends will apply; or (ii) that the income from its Benefited
Enterprise will be subject to corporate tax at a rate of a 11.5%, in which case dividends
paid out of such income to a foreign resident will be taxed at a rate of 4% and the
company will not be subject to additional tax upon dividend distribution. Further benefits
are available in the event of certain large investments by multinational companies.
Benefited Enterprises located in Zones B and C will be exempt from tax for six and two
years, respectively, and subject to tax at a rate of 10%-25% for the remainder of the
benefit period, depending on the extent of foreign investment in the Company, as described
above.

Similarly to a company which elected
the Alternative Track before the amendment, dividends paid out of income derived by a
Benefited Enterprise, or out of dividends received from a company whose income is derived
from a Benefited Enterprise, are generally subject to withholding tax at the rate of 15%,
such tax being deductible at source. The reduced withholding tax rate of 15% is limited to
dividends and distributions out of income derived during the benefit period and actually
paid at any time up to 12 years thereafter. A company qualifying for tax benefits under
the Amendment which pays a dividend out of income derived by its Benefited Enterprise
during the tax exemption period will be subject to corporate tax in respect of the gross
amount of the dividend. The rate of such corporate tax will be 25%, which is the rate to
which a Benefited Enterprise is generally subject. Such tax rate is lower in the case of a
qualified Foreign Investors Company. The dividend recipient is subject
to tax at the rate of 15% on the amount received which tax is deductible at source.

The period for which tax benefits are
available under the Amendment is also determined by the geographical location of the
Benefited Enterprise in Israel. The benefit period for Benefited Enterprises in Zone A
will end on the earlier of (i) a period of ten years from the tax year in which the
company first derived taxable income from the Benefited Enterprise, or the Commencement
Year; or (ii) twelve years (or in certain cases fourteen years) from the first day of the
Year of Election. The benefit period for Benefited Enterprises in Zones B and C will
extend until the earlier of (i) seven years from the Commencement Year or (ii) 12 years
from the first day of the Year of Election. This period may be extended for Benefited
Enterprises owned by a Foreign Investors Company during all or part of
the benefit period.

81

---

---

Additionally, the Amendment sets
forth a minimal amount of foreign investment required for a company to be regarded as a
Foreign Investors Company.

There can be no assurance that we
will attain approval for additional tax benefits under the Amendment, or receive approval
for Approved Enterprises 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, commonly referred to as the Research Law,
research and development programs that meet specified criteria and are approved by a
governmental committee of the OCS are eligible for grants of up to 50% of the
projects expenditures, as determined by the research committee, in exchange for the
payment of royalties from the sale of products developed under the program. Regulations
under the Research Law generally provide for the payment of royalties to the Chief
Scientist of 3-5% on sales of products and services derived from a technology developed
using these grants until 100% of the dollar-linked grant is repaid. Our obligation to pay
these royalties is contingent on our actual sale of such products and services. In the
absence of such sales, no payment is required. Effective for grants received from the
Chief Scientist under programs approved after January 1, 1999, the outstanding balance of
the grants will be subject to interest at a rate equal to the 12 month LIBOR applicable to
dollar deposits that is published on the first business day of each calendar year.
Following the full repayment of the grant, there is no further liability for royalties.

The
terms of the Israeli government participation also require that the manufacture of
products developed with government grants be performed in Israel. However, under the
regulations of the Research Law, if any of the manufacturing is performed outside of
Israel, assuming we receive approval from the Chief Scientist for the foreign
manufacturing, we may be required to pay increased royalties. The increase in royalties
depends upon the extent of the manufacturing volume that is performed outside of Israel as
follows:

|Extent of Manufacturing Volume Outside of Israel | Royalties to the Chief Scientist as percentage of Grants

A
recent amendment to the Research Law has provided that the restriction on manufacturing
outside of Israel shall not apply to the extent that plans to so manufacture were declared
when applying for funding.

In
general, the technology developed with Chief Scientist grants may not be transferred to
Israeli third parties without the prior approval of a governmental committee under the
Research Law and may not be transferred to non-Israeli third parties. A recent amendment
to the Research Law has stressed, that it is not just transfer of know-how that is
prohibited, but also transfer of any rights in such know-how. This approval, however, is
not required for the export of any final products developed using the grants. Approval of
the transfer of technology may be granted in specific circumstances only if the recipient
abides by the provisions of the Research Law and related regulations, including the
restrictions on the transfer of know-how and the obligation to pay royalties in an amount
that may be increased. We cannot assure you that any consent, if requested, will be
granted, or if granted, will be on reasonable commercial terms.

The Israeli authorities have
indicated that the government may reduce or abolish grants from the Chief Scientist in the
future. Even if these grants are maintained, we cannot assure you that we will receive
Chief Scientist grants in the future. In addition, each application to the Chief Scientist
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 Chief Scientist. We cannot assure you that
applications to the Chief Scientist will be approved and, until approved, the amounts of
any grants are not determinable.

Tax Benefits and Grants
for Research and Development

Israeli tax law allows, under certain
conditions, a tax deduction in the year incurred for expenditures (including capital
expenditures) in scientific research and development projects, if the expenditures are
approved by the relevant Israeli Government Ministry (determined by the field of research)
and the research and development is for the promotion of the enterprise and is carried out
by or on behalf of the company seeking such deduction. Such expenditures not so approved
are deductible over a three-year period.

Law for the Encouragement
of Industry (Taxes), 1969

Under the Law for the Encouragement
of Industry (Taxes), 1969, or the Industry Encouragement Law, Industrial Companies (as
defined below) are entitled to the following tax benefits:

(a)        Amortization
of purchases of know-how and patents over eight years for tax           purposes.

(b)       
          The right to elect, under specified conditions, to file a consolidated tax
          return with other related Israeli Industrial Companies.

(c)       
          Amortization of expenses incurred in connection with certain public securities
          issuances over a three-year period.

(d)       
          Tax exemption for shareholders who held shares before a public offering on
          capital gains derived from the sale (as defined by law) of securities, if
          realized after more than five years from the public issuance of additional
          securities of the company. (As of November 1994, this exemption was repealed,
          however, it applies to some of our shareholders pursuant to a grand-fathering
          clause; the recent tax reform repealed the grandfathered exemption for any gains
          accrued from January 1, 2003.)

(e)       
          Accelerated depreciation rates on equipment and buildings.

83

---

---

Eligibility for benefits under the
Industry Encouragement Law is not subject to receipt of prior approval from any
governmental authority. Under the Industry Encouragement Law, an Industrial
Company is defined as a company resident in Israel, at least 90% of the income of
which, in any tax year, determined in Israeli currency, exclusive of income from
government loans, 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.

We believe that we currently qualify
as an Industrial Company within the definition of the Industry Encouragement Law. No
assurance can be given that we will continue to qualify as an Industrial Company or that
the benefits described above will be available in the future.

Taxation under
Inflationary Conditions

The Income Tax Law (Inflationary
Adjustments), 1985, which was effective until 31.12.2007, or the Inflationary Adjustments
Law, represents an attempt to overcome the problems presented to a traditional tax system
by an economy undergoing rapid inflation. The Inflationary Adjustments Law is
characterized by a high degree of complexity and its salient features can be described
generally as follows:

(a)       
          A special tax adjustment for the preservation of equity whereby certain
          corporate assets are classified broadly into Fixed (inflation resistant) Assets
          and Non-Fixed (non-inflation resistant) Assets. Where a corporations
          equity, as defined in such law, exceeds the depreciated cost of Fixed Assets, a
          tax deduction which takes into account the effect of the annual inflationary
          change on such excess is allowed (up to a ceiling of 70% of taxable income in
          any single tax year, with the unused portion permitted to be carried forward on
          a linked basis). If the depreciated cost of Fixed Assets exceeds a
          corporations equity, then such excess multiplied by the annual inflation
          rate is added to taxable income.

(b)       
          Depreciation deductions on Fixed Assets and losses carried forward are adjusted
          for inflation based on the increase in the Israeli Consumer Price Index.

In February 2008, the Inflationary
Adjustments Law was repealed, effective from 1.1.2008 and therefore companies will be
taxed on their income using nominal values.

Capital Gains Tax on
Sales of Our Ordinary Shares

Until the end of the year 2002 and
provided we maintained our status as an industrial corporation, capital gains from the
sale of our securities were generally exempt from Israeli Capital Gains Tax. This
exemption did not apply to a shareholder whose taxable income was determined pursuant to
the Israeli Income Tax Law (Inflationary Adjustments) 1985, or to a person whose gains
from selling or otherwise disposing of our securities were deemed to be business income.

On January 1, 2006 an amendment to
the Israeli tax regime became effective, or the 2006 Tax Reform. The 2006 Tax Reform
significantly changed the tax rates applicable to income derived from shares.

84

---

---

According to the 2006 Tax Reform, an
individual is subject to a 20% tax rate on real capital gains derived from the sale of
shares, as long as the individual is not a substantial shareholder (generally
a shareholder with 10% or more of the right to profits, right to nominate a director or
voting rights) of the company issuing the shares. There will generally be no capital gains
tax on the inflationary surplus.

A substantial shareholder will be
subject to tax at a rate of 25% in respect of real capital gains derived from the sale of
shares issued by the company in which he or she is a substantial shareholder. The
determination of whether the individual is a substantial shareholder will be made on the
date that the securities are sold. In addition, the individual will be deemed to be a
substantial shareholder if at any time during the 12 months preceding this date he had
been a substantial shareholder.

Non-Israeli residents are exempt from
Israeli capital gains tax on any gains derived from the sale of shares in an Israeli
corporation publicly traded on the TASE and/or on a foreign stock exchange, provided such
gains do not derive from a permanent establishment of such shareholders in Israel and that
such shareholders did not acquire their shares prior to the issuers initial public
offering. However, non-Israeli corporations will not be entitled to such exemption 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.

In some instances where our
shareholders may be liable to Israeli tax on the sale of their ordinary shares, the
payment of the consideration may be subject to the withholding of Israeli tax at the
source.

Pursuant to the treaty between the
Governments of the United States and Israel with respect to taxes on income, or the
U.S.-Israel tax treaty, the sale, exchange or disposition of our ordinary shares by a
person who qualifies as a resident of the United States under the treaty and who is
entitled to claim the benefits afforded to him by the treaty, will generally not be
subject to Israeli capital gains tax. This exemption shall not apply to a person who held,
directly or indirectly, shares representing 10% or more of the voting power in our company
during any part of the 12-month period preceding the sale, exchange or disposition,
subject to certain conditions. A sale, exchange or disposition of our shares by a U.S.
resident qualified under the treaty, who held, directly or indirectly, shares representing
10% or more of the voting power in our company at any time during the preceding 12-month
period would be subject to Israeli tax, to the extent applicable; however, under the
treaty, this U.S. resident would be permitted to claim a credit for these taxes against
the U.S. income tax with respect to the sale, exchange or disposition, subject to the
limitations in U.S. laws applicable to foreign tax credits.

Taxation of Dividends

Non-residents of Israel are subject
to income tax on income accrued or derived from sources in Israel. These sources of income
include passive income such as dividends, royalties and interest, as well as non-passive
income from services rendered in Israel. On distributions of dividends other than bonus
shares, or stock dividends, to Israeli individuals and foreign resident individuals and
corporations we would be required to withhold income tax at the rate of 20%. If the income
out of which the dividend is being paid is attributable to an Approved Enterprise under
the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959, the rate is 15%. A different
rate may be provided for in a treaty between Israel and the shareholders country of
residence. Under the U.S.-Israel tax treaty, if the income out of which the dividend is
being paid is not attributable to an Approved Enterprise, then income tax with respect to
shareholders that are U.S. corporations holding at least 10% of our voting power in the
twelve-month period preceding the distribution of such dividends, is generally required to
be withheld at the rate of 12.5%.

85

---

Residents of the United States will
generally have taxes in Israel withheld at source. Such persons generally would be
entitled to a credit for United States Federal income tax purposes for the amount of such
taxes withheld, subject to limitations applicable to foreign tax credits.

Effective Corporate Tax
Rate

Our effective tax rate in Israel was
0% in each of the years 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006,2007 and 2008 (the regular rate of
corporate tax being 35% in 2004, 34% in 2005, 31% in 2006 and 29% in 2007).

Under the law, by virtue of the
approved enterprise status granted to investments in certain assets of ours
and ScanMaster Ltd., we are entitled to various tax benefits.

The main tax benefits available to
us and ScanMaster Ltd. are:

|(a) | Reduced
tax rates:
|--- | ------------------

|(i) | The
Company
|--- | -----------

Tax exemption during the period of
benefits  10 years  commencing in the first year in which we earn taxable
income from the approved enterprises (provided that the maximum period to which it is
restricted by the law has not elapsed).

We have three approved enterprises;
the benefit period in respect of the first, second and third enterprises commenced in
1994, 1995, and 1997, respectively. The periods of benefits expired in 2003, 2004 and
2006, respectively.

In the event of distribution of cash
dividends from income, which was tax exempt as above, we would have to pay 25% tax in
respect of the amount distributed. The amount distributed for this purpose includes the
amount of the tax that applies as a result of the distribution.

In 2005, we received from the
Investment Center the instrument of approval for its fourth approved enterprise.

86

---

---

|(ii) | ScanMaster
Ltd.
|---- | ---------------

During the period of benefits  7
years  commencing in the first year in which the company earns taxable income from
the approved enterprises (provided the maximum period to which it is restricted by law
has not elapsed), the following reduced tax rates apply:

Tax exemption on income from
approved enterprises in respect of which the companies have elected the alternative
benefits (involving waiver of investment grants); the length of the exemption
period is four years, after which the income from these enterprises is taxable at the
rate of 25% for three years.

ScanMaster Ltd. has three approved
enterprises; the benefit periods in respect of the first and second enterprises commenced
in 1994 and 1997, respectively. The period of tax benefits in respect of the first
approved enterprise has expired. The period of tax benefits in respect of the second
approved enterprise will expire in 2008. The third approved enterprise has not yet been
activated.

On March, 2004 ScanMaster Ltd. was
warned by the Investment Center that their second approved enterprise status may be
withdrawn, a decision which we plan to appeal in the near future. In the event such
approved enterprise status is cancelled, we do not believe that we will be subject to
penalties since a grant has not been received and tax benefits were not used.

Our taxes outside Israel are
dependent on operations in each jurisdiction as well as relevant laws and treaties. We
incurred tax expenses in the aggregate amount of approximately $6,000, $3,000 and $6,000,
outside of Israel in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. There can be no assurance that
changes in our operations or applicable tax treaties or laws will not subject us to
taxation.

We received final tax assessments
for the years since our incorporation ending and including December 31, 2002. ScanMaster
Ltd. received final tax assessments through the tax year 2002. Our other subsidiaries
have not received final tax assessments since their respective incorporations.

United States Tax Considerations

Subject to the limitations described
in the next paragraph, the following discussion describes the material U.S. federal
income tax consequences resulting from the ownership and disposition of ordinary shares
by each person who is a US Holder (as defined below). For purposes of our discussion a
U.S. Holder means any holder of ordinary shares who is:

| |  | a
citizen or resident of the United States;
| | - | -------------------------------------------

| |  | a
corporation created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United
States or any State;
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | an
estate, the income of which is includable in gross income for U.S. federal income tax
purposes  regardless of                   its source; or
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | a
trust, if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary  supervision over
the administration of                   the trust and one or more U.S.  persons have the
authority to control all  substantial                   decisions  of the trust or if the
trust has  validly  elected  to be treated as a U.S.                   person under
applicable Treasury regulations.
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

87

---

---

The discussion is based on current
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or the Code, as amended, current and
proposed Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, and administrative and judicial
decisions as of the date hereof, all of which are subject to change, possibly on a
retroactive basis. This discussion is not a representation of, nor does it address, all
aspects of United States federal income taxation that may be relevant to any particular
shareholder based on such shareholders individual circumstances. In particular, this
discussion considers only U.S. Holders that will own ordinary shares as capital assets at
all relevant times and does not address the potential application of the alternative
minimum tax or U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders that are subject to
special treatment, including U.S. Holders that:

| |  | are
broker-dealers or insurance companies;
| | - | ------------------------------------------

| |  | have
elected mark-to-market accounting; are financial institutions or financial services
entities;
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | hold
ordinary shares as part of a straddle, hedge or conversion transaction with other
investments;
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | own
directly, indirectly or by attribution at least 10% of our voting power; or
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | have
a functional currency that is not the U.S. dollar.
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------

In addition, this discussion does not
address any aspect of state, local or non-U.S. tax laws.

Additionally, the discussion does not consider
the tax treatment of persons who hold ordinary shares through a partnership or other
pass-through entity or the possible application of U.S. federal gift or estate tax.

Each prospective investor is
advised to consult such persons own tax advisor with respect to the specific tax
consequences to such person of purchasing, holding or disposing of ordinary shares.

|ITEM 11. |  | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
|-------- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------

In
the  course of our normal  operations,  we are  exposed to market  risks  including
 fluctuations  in foreign currency exchange rates and interest
rates.

# Foreign Currency Exchange

The
majority of our revenues is generated in, or linked to, U.S. dollars
(Dollars). In addition, a substantial portion of our costs is incurred in New
Israeli Shekels (NIS). We believe that the Dollar is the currency of the
primary economic environment in which we operate. Thus, our functional and reporting
currency is the Dollar.

Our
operating and pricing strategies take into account changes in exchange rates over time.
However, there can be no assurance that future fluctuations in the value of foreign
currencies will not have an adverse material effect on our business, operating results or
financial condition.

Market
risk was estimated as the potential change in fair value resulting from a hypothetical 10%
change in the year-end Dollar exchange rate.

As
of December 31, 2008, we had accounts payable in NIS or in funds linked thereto in the
amount of $3.4 million. Market risk was estimated as the potential increase in fair value
resulting from a hypothetical 10% decrease in the year-end NIS/Dollar and the Euro/Dollar
exchange rate. Assuming such decrease in the NIS/Dollar and the Euro/Dollar exchange rate,
the fair value of our accounts payable would increase by $340,000.

89

---

---

# Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to market rate risk for
changes in interest rates relates primarily to funds borrowed by us from banks and others.
As of December 31, 2008 we had liabilities in the amount of $6.388 million. Market risk
was estimated as the potential increase in fair value of our liabilities resulting from a
hypothetical 10% increase in the year-end interest rate of our liabilities. Assuming such
increase in the interest rates, the fair value of our cash and cash equivalents would
decrease by approximately $32,000.

(a)       
          Our management, including our former chief executive officer and chief financial
          officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures
          as of December 31, 2008. Based on such review, our chief executive officer and
          chief financial officer have concluded that we have in place effective controls
          and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by
          us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of
          1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to our management, including
          our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing
          similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
          disclosure, and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time
          periods specified in the SECs rules and forms.

(b)       
          Our management, under the supervision of our chief executive officer and chief
          financial officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate
          internal control over our financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and
          15d-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Companys
          internal control over financial reporting is defined as a process designed 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. Internal control over financial
          reporting includes policies and procedures that:

| |  | pertain
to the  maintenance  of records that in  reasonable  detail  accurately  and fairly
           reflect our transactions and asset dispositions;
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit the
preparation of our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with
authorizations of our management and directors; and
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | provide
reasonable assurance regarding the prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on our
financial statements.
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Due
to its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or
detect misstatements. In addition, 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.

Under
the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal
executive officer and principal financial officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008 based on the framework
for Internal Control-Integrated Framework set forth by The Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, our management
concluded that the Companys internal controls over financial reporting were
effective as of December 31, 2008.

This
management report on internal control over financial reporting shall not be deemed to be
filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended or
otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section.

This
annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting
firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements report was not
subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary
rules of the Commission that permit us to provide only managements report in this
Annual report.

(c)       
          There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting
          identified with the evaluation thereof that occurred during the period covered
          by this annual report that have materially affected, or are reasonable likely to
          materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

# REPORT OF INDEPENDENT
REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To
the Board of Directors andShareholders of Elbit Vision Systems Ltd.

We have audited the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets of Elbit Vision Systems Ltd. (the Company) as of
December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of income,
stockholders equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2008. 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. The Company is not
required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its 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, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated
financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
the Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America.

The  accompanying  financial
 statements  have been prepared  assuming that the Company will continue as a going
concern.  As discussed in Note 1 to the financial  statements,  the Company's  recurring
losses from operations  and  Accumulated  deficit  raise  substantial  doubt  about its
ability to continue as a going concern.  Management's  plans  concerning  these  matters
are also  discussed in Note 1 and Note 19 to the financial  statements.  The  financial
 statements do not include any  adjustments  that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.

February 2006, the Company acquired business, assets and liabilities of Panoptes Ltd.(Panoptes)
and ScanMaster Ltd. acquired 100% of the shares of Panoptes. Panoptes Ltd. is principally
engaged in the design, development, manufacturing and marketing automatic vision and
quality monitoring systems for surface inspection, especially textiles, glass fabric and

| | The
Company has sustained significant  operating losses in recent periods,  which has led to
a               significant  reduction  in its cash  reserves. As  reflected  in the
 accompanying  financial               statements,  the Company's  operations for the
year ended December 31, 2008, resulted in a net               loss of $7,493  thousands.
 The Company's  ability to continue  operating as a going concern is
dependent on its ability to raise sufficient  additional  working capital.  As disclosed
in               Note 19,  management  has been  attempting to raise capital from banks,
 current  stockholders               and potential investors and plans to continue these
 efforts.The  Company expects to use the               raised  proceeds for working
 capital  purposes.Nevertheless,  there are no assurances  that               the Company
will be able to return to positive cash flow before it requires  additional  cash,
              which  raises  substantial  doubts  about the  ability of the  Company to
 continue as a going               concern.

# NOTE 2  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

| | The
consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted (GAAP) in the United States of America.
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | a. | Use
of estimates in the preparation of financial statements
| | -- | -----------------------------------------------------------

| | The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting years. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Estimates
and assumptions which, in the opinion of management, are significant to the underlying
amounts included in the financial statements and for which it would be reasonably
possible that future events or information could change those estimates include: (i)
impairment assessments of goodwill and long-lived assets; (ii) realization of deferred
income tax assets; and (iii) provisions for obsolete and slow moving inventory. These
estimates are discussed further throughout the accompanying notes.

| | The
currency of the primary economic environment in which operations of the Company and its
subsidiaries are conducted is the U.S. dollar (the dollar).
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Virtually
all sales by the Company and its subsidiaries are made outside Israel in non-Israeli
currencies, mainly the dollar. Most purchases of materials and components are made in
dollars or in Israeli currency under contracts linked to the dollar. In addition, most
marketing and service costs are incurred outside Israel, primarily in dollars, through
the Companys wholly-owned non-Israeli subsidiaries. Thus, the functional currency
of the Company and its subsidiaries is the dollar.
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Transactions
in currencies other than each companys functional currency are translated based on
the average currency exchange rates in accordance with the principles set forth in
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 52, Foreign
Currency Translation. All gains and losses from translation of monetary balance
sheet items and transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency
are recorded in the statements of income as financial income, net as they arise.

| | (1) | Property
and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated by the
          straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of assets, as follows:
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Leasehold
improvements are amortized by the straight-line method over the term of the lease, or the
estimated useful life of the improvements, whichever is shorter.
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (2) | Impairment
of long-lived assets  Impairment examinations and           recognition are
performed and determined based on the provisions of FASB           Statement No. 144,
Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal ofLong-Lived Assets (SFAS
144). SFAS 144 requires that           long-lived assets and certain identifiable
assets held for use be reviewed for           impairment on a periodic basis, or whenever
events or changes in circumstances           indicate that the carrying amount of an
asset may not be recoverable.           Recoverability of an asset to be held and used is
determined by a comparison of           the carrying amount of the asset and the amount
of undiscounted future net cash           flows to be generated by the asset or assets
group. In the event that an asset           is considered to be impaired, an impairment
charge is recorded in the amount by           which the carrying amount of the asset
exceeds its estimated fair value.
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | h. | Other
assets- Goodwill and Intangible Assets
| | -- | --------------------------------------------

| | (1) | Goodwill
| | --- | --------

| | Under
FASB Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS
142), goodwill is not amortized to earnings, but rather is subject to periodic
testing for impairment, at the reporting unit level, at least annually or more frequently
if certain events or indicators of impairment occur. Impairment is the condition that
exists when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. Measurement
of an impairment loss is an estimate, performed based on the following: If the fair value
of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is
considered not impaired.  If the carrying amount of the reporting unit goodwill
exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an
amount equal to that excess. The Group uses the discounted cash flow method to determine
the fair value of the reporting unit. The Companys reporting units consist of
reportable segments; goodwill is allocated to both segments (see also Note 17).
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | The
Company has designated December 31 of each year as the date on which it will perform its
annual goodwill impairment test. An impairment of $ 1,981,000 resulted from the annual
review performed in the year 2008, allocated to the non-destructive automated inspection
segment.

| | -- | -----------------

| | a. | General
| | -- | -------

| | Revenues
from sales of products and supplies are recognized when an arrangement exists, delivery
has occurred and title passed to the customer, Groups price to the customer is
fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | With
respect to systems sold with installation requirements, the installation is not
considered to be a separate earnings process; thus, revenue is recognized when all of the
above criteria are met and installation is completed.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | b. | Acceptance
clause, customers support service and warranty
| | -- | ----------------------------------------------------------

| | The
Group distinguishes between revenue recognition in respect of revenue derived from
automatic vision inspection products (sold by the Company) and ultrasonic inspection
products (sold by ScanMaster).
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | The
terms of the agreements between the Company and its customers are substantially different
from the terms of the agreements between ScanMaster and its customers. Therefore, the
revenue recognition accounting policy applied by each of the companies is different in
this case. Set forth bellow are the main accounting policies applied by each of the
companies:
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | The
Company
| | -----------

| | In
case that Companys agreement with the customer includes an acceptanceclause,
revenue recognition will take place after the Company receives the acceptance
certificate from the customer. In some cases, the Company grants its customers a
trial period, usually several months, in order to evaluate prototype of the systems
performance. In case that the systems performance meets the customers requirements,
it purchases the system at the end of the trial period. The Company does not recognize
sales revenue from products shipped to customers for trial until such products are
actually purchased. Until purchased, these products are recorded as consignment inventory
at the lower of cost or market.
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | ScanMaster
| | ----------

| | ScanMasters
agreements with its customers usually include acceptance testing procedures clause (ATP).
Each product of ScanMaster has standard performance specifications that are examined in
the ATP; usually, the performance specifications are not customized for the specific
needs of the customer.

(Cont.)
| | ------------------

| | Also,
unlike in the case of the company, ScanMaster does not grant its customers a trial period
in the normal course of business. The agreements with the clients do not include the
right of the clients to a refund in case the ATP is not to their satisfaction. However,
the collection of the final payment from the customer (usually 10% out of the total
consideration) is dependent upon receiving the signed ATP.
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | ScanMaster
distinguishes between sales of new products, in respect of which ScanMaster has no past
installation experience and sales of products, installation of which the company is well
experienced. In respect of sales of new products ScanMaster recognizes revenues only
after the company receives the ATP from the customer. In respect of sales of other
products, in the installation of which the company is well experienced, the ATP is only a
formal procedure, and therefore, the installation of products is a sufficient requirement
to recognize revenues.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | ScanMaster
provides for warranty costs at the same time as the revenue is recognized. The annual
provision is calculated at rates of 0.5%-2% of the sales, based on past experience.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | c. | Right
of return
| | -- | ---------------

| | The
Group does not provide, in the normal course of business, a right of return to its
customers. If uncertainties exist, such as the granting to the customer of a right of
cancellation, revenue is recognized when the uncertainties are resolved.
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | d. | Revenues
from systems that require significant customization, integration and
          installation are recognized based on SOP 81-1 Accounting for Performance
          of Construction  Type and Certain Production  Type Contracts,
          using contract accounting on the percentage of completion method, based on the
          relationship of actual labor costs incurred, to total labor costs estimated to
          be incurred over the duration of the contract. Provisions for estimated losses
          on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are first
          determined, in the amount of the estimated loss on the entire contract.
| | -- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Arrangements
that include professional services are evaluated to determine whether those services are
essential to the functionality of other elements of the arrangement. When services are
considered essential, revenue under the arrangement is recognized using contract
accounting.
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | When
services are not considered essential, the revenue allocable, based on the criteria
prescribed in EITF 00-1, to the professional services is recognized as the services are
performed.

| | l. | Deferred
income taxes
| | -- | ---------------------

| | The
company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting
for Income Taxes (SFAS 109). Deferred income taxes are determined by
the asset and liability method based on the estimated future tax effects attributable to
temporary differences between income tax bases of assets and liabilities and their
reported amounts in the financial statements, and to carryforwards for tax losses and
deductions. Deferred tax balances are computed using the enacted tax rates to be in
effect at the time when these differences are expected to reverse, as they are known at
the balance sheet date.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are classified as current or non-current according to the
classification of the respective asset or liability, or the expected reversal date of the
specific temporary difference, if not related to a specific asset or liability.
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

allowances in respect of deferred tax assets are established when it is more likely than
not that all or a portion of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized.

| | Basic
EPS is computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each

reflected in basic and diluted EPS shares for the year ended December 31, 2006. Total
common stock equivalents, related to options and warrants 13,492,331, 16,862,858 and
9,322,308 shares for the years 2008 , 2007 and 2006, respectively, were excluded from EPS
calculation, because the effect of such options and warrants is antidilutive.

January 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment(SFAS
No. 123(R)), using the modified prospective application method as its transition
method. The Company recognizes $ 188,000 of compensation expenses in 2008 as a result of
the application of SFAS 123 (R). Until the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) the Company
accounted for employees and directors stock-based compensation in accordance with
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB
25) and in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 44 (FIN 44).
Pursuant to these accounting pronouncements, the Company recorded compensation for stock
options granted to employees and directors over the vesting period of the options based
on the difference, if any, between the exercise price of the options and the market price
of the underlying shares at that date.

determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement No. 142,
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets(SFAS 142). The
objective of FSP 142-3 is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a

| | EITF
Issue No. 07-5
| | -------------------

| | In
June 2008, the FASB Emerging Items Task Force reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 07-5,
Determining Whether an Instrument (or an Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entitys
Own Stock. The Consensus was reached on the following three issues:
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | 1.       
The
way an entity should evaluate whether an instrument (or embedded feature)           is
indexed to its own stock.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | 2.       
The
way the currency in which the strike price of an equity-linked financial
          instrument (or embedded equity-linked feature) is denominated affects the
          determination of whether the instrument is indexed to an entitys own
          stock.
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | 3.       
The
way an issuer should account for market-based employee stock option           valuation
instruments.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | This
consensus will affect entities with (1) options or warrants on their own shares (not
within the scope of Statement 150), including market-based employee stock option
valuation instruments; (2) forward contracts on their own shares, including forward
contracts entered into as part of an accelerated share repurchase program; and (3)
convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. Also affected are entities
that issue equity-linked financial instruments (or financial instruments that contain
embedded equity-linked features) with a strike price that is denominated in a foreign
currency.
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | The
consensus is effective for fiscal years (and interim periods) beginning after December
15, 2008. The consensus must be applied to outstanding instruments as of the beginning of
the fiscal year in which the issue is adopted as a cumulative-effect adjustment to the
opening balance of retained earnings for that fiscal year. Early application is not
permitted.
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

April 2009 the FASB issued FASB staff position 157-4, Determining Fair Value When
the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased
and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly. This FSP applies to all assets
and liabilities within the scope of accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair
value measurements, except as discussed in paragraphs 2 and 3 of statement 157. The FSP
is Effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and
shall be applied prospectively.
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | FSP
FAS 157-4 relates to determining fair values when there is no active market or where the
price inputs being used represent distressed sales. It reaffirms what Statement 157
states is the objective of fair value measurement  to reflect how much an asset would
be sold for in an orderly transaction (as opposed to a distressed or forced transaction)
at the date of the financial statements under current market conditions. Specifically, it
reaffirms the need to use judgment to ascertain if a formerly active market has become
inactive and in determining fair values when markets have become inactive.
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | FSP
FAS 157-4 provides guidance on (1) estimating the fair value of an asset or liability
(financial and nonfinancial) when the volume and level of activity for the asset or
liability have significantly decreased and (2) identifying transactions that are not
orderly.
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | The
Company is currently evaluating the impact that this FSP will have, if at all, on its
consolidated financial statements and disclosures but believes that its effect will be
immaterial.

| | -- | ----------------------------------

| | FAS 157-3
| | ---------

| | In
October 2008, the FASB staff issued Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 157-3, Determining
the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active.The
FSP amends Statement 157 by incorporating an example to illustrate key
considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset in an inactive
market. The FSP is effective upon issuance and should be applied to prior periods for
which financial statements have not been issued.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | The
FSPs illustrative example and associated guidance clarifies various application
issues raised by preparers of financial statements. With regard to the measurement
principles of Statement 157, the FSP emphasizes the following:
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Objective
of Fair Value  The objective of a fair value measurement is to determine the price
that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction that is not a forced
liquidation or distressed sale between market participants as of the measurement date.
This objective does not change even when there is little, if any, market activity for an
asset as of the measurement date.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Distressed
Transactions  Even in times of market dislocation, it is not appropriate to
conclude that all market activity represents forced liquidations or distressed sales.
However, it is also not appropriate to automatically conclude that any transaction price
is determinative of fair value. The evaluation of whether individual transactions
are forced (that is, whether one of the parties is forced or otherwise compelled to
transact) depends on the facts and circumstances and may require the use of significant
judgment.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Relevance
of Observable Data  Observable market data may require significant adjustment to
meet the objective of fair value. For example, in cases where the volume and level
of trading activity in the asset have declined significantly, the available prices vary
significantly over time or among market participants, or the prices are not current, the
observable inputs might not be relevant and could require significant adjustment. If
the adjustment is significant, the measurement would be considered Level 3.
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | The
Companys Assumptions and Nonperformance and Liquidity Risks  The use of the
Companys internal assumptions about future cash flows and appropriately
risk-adjusted discount rates is acceptable when relevant observable market data
does not exist. In addition, such assumptions or techniques must incorporate adjustments
for nonperformance and liquidity risks that market participants would consider in valuing
the asset.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Third
Party Pricing Quotes  Quotes and information obtained from brokers or pricing
services are not necessarily determinative if an active market does not exist for
the financial asset being measured. In addition, an entity should place less
reliance on quotes that do not reflect actual market transactions.
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | The
adoption of FSP FAS 157-3 did not have any significant impact on the consolidated results
of operations or financial position of the Company

NOTE 3  CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES

| | a. | Acquisition
and Disposal of Yuravision
| | -- | --------------------------------------

| | On
December 2, 2003, the Company signed a term sheet (the validity of which was extended on
February 16, 2004) to acquire 100% of the shares of Yuravision (as to the nature of
operation of Yuravision, see Note 1).
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Pursuant
to the term sheet, through June 30, 2004, the Company entered into a series of purchase
agreements with some of Yuravisions shareholders. Under those agreements, the
Company purchased 51% of Yuravisions shares for an aggregate amount of $ 1,014,000,
in cash and has a legal commitment to purchase additional 19% of Yuravision shares.
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | The
total cost of acquisition amounted to $ 1,484,000 (including legal fees and other
direct costs of $ 134,000, and the aggregate fair value of the warrants issued to
Yuravisions shareholder of $ 30,000).
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | On
December 1, 2006, the Company executed an agreement with a Korean corporation for the
sale of Yuravision shares in consideration for $950,000, or the Purchase Price, plus the
purchase from the Company of its right to receive from Yuravision repayment of an
$800,000 loan, or the Loan Amount in consideration for the full value of the loan. Half
of the Purchase Price was paid upon the closing of the transaction on December 15, 2006,
and the remaining half of the Purchase Price will be payable no later than December 1,
2008. The purchaser has undertaken to pay the Company half of the Loan Amount by no later
than December 1, 2008 and the remaining half, or the Outstanding Payment, by no later
than May 1, 2009.
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | The
Company have received a stand by letter of credit from the purchaser guaranteeing payment
of the Loan Amount.
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Consideration
for assignment of the Loan was subject to reduction in the event that certain key
employees of Yuravision terminated their employment; provided that the Korean corporation
was unable to find replacements using the services of an employment agency. Subsequently,
all of the key employees terminated their employment with Yuravision, however, the
Company claimed that the Korean corporation did not diligently use the services of the
employment agency in order to find replacements.
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | On
January 28, 2008 the Company entered into a modification agreement amending the December
1, 2006 agreement with the Korean corporation. Pursuant to the modification agreement the
Loan Amount was reduced from $800,000 to $460,000, without any further obligation by the
Korean corporation for the reduced amount of $340,000. The payment terms of the loan were
changed so that the Korean corporation paid to the Company $360,000 on February 4, 2008
and paid the remaining $100,000 owed under the loan in January 2009. The terms for the
payment of the purchase price were not changed.

| | -- | ---------------------------

| | (3) | In
February 2006, the Company issued notes to Mivtach Shamir Holdings Ltd.           (Mivtach)
for $3 million (half of which will be held in escrow until           the occurrence of
certain events). The notes were convertible at the option of           Mivtach into
6,000,000 ordinary shares of EVS, at a price per share of $0.50.           Repayment of
the notes was in 30 equal monthly installments commencing two years           after the
notes issuance or on the date that Mivtach decides not to convert the           notes,
whichever is sooner. The Company also granted to Mivtach a two-year           warrant to
purchase 4,000,000 of the Companys ordinary shares at an           exercise price
of $0.50 per share, exercisable only if Mivtach converts the           notes.
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | The
Company allocated the proceeds received based on the respective fair values to the notes
and the warrants. Consistent with provisions of EITF 98-5 and 00-27, the Company
evaluated whether the notes contain a beneficial conversion feature (BCF) and
determined that all proceeds should be allocated to the BCF and the notes initially
recorded at nil. The amount of discount is to be amortized over the term of notes.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | As
of December 31, 2006 the company recorded in its financial reports a long term loan of $
342,000, representing the amortized discount to date.
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | On
June 21, 2007 the Company signed an agreement with Mivtach pursuant to which, Mivtach
converted the full amount of the convertible notes into (a) 9,523,810 of the Companys
ordinary shares; and (b) received a 4 year warrant to purchase 2,380,952 of the Companys
ordinary shares at an exercise price of $0.45 per share. As a result of the conversion,
the unamortized discount, created as a resullt of the allocation of the proceeds to the
BCF, was accelerated and recognized in earnings.
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

liabilities (net of current maturities) mature in the following years after

Company, using in most cases daily observations of the Companys price share to
determine the standard deviation.
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Risk
free interest rate  The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield in
effect at the time of each option grant, based on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bond issued
with equivalent remaining terms.

| | Management
estimates forfeiture rates at the date of grant, which are adjusted in subsequent periods
if the actual forfeiture rates differ from those initially estimated. Management uses
historical data to estimate pre-vesting option forfeiture rates and records share-based

# NOTE 12  TAXES ON
INCOME

| | a. | Corporate
taxation in Israel
| | -- | ----------------------------

| | 1) | Measurement
of results for tax purposes under the Income Tax (Inflationary           Adjustments)
Law, 1985 (the Inflationary Adjustments Law)
| | -- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Under
the Inflationary Adjustments Law, results for tax purposes are measured in real terms,
having regard to the changes in the Israeli Consumer Price Index (hereafter  CPI).
The Company and ScanMaster Ltd. are taxed under this law.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | On
February 26, 2008, the Israeli Parliament ratified the third reading of the Income Tax
Law (Inflation Adjustments) (Amendment 20) (Limitation of Term of Validity)
2008 (hereinafter: The Amendment), pursuant to which the application of
the inflationary adjustment law will terminate in tax year 2007 and as of tax year 2008,
the law will no longer apply, other than transition regulations whose intention is to
prevent distortions in tax calculations.
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | According
to the amendment, in tax year 2008 and thereafter, the adjustment of revenues for tax
purposes will no longer be considered on a real-term basis for measurement. Moreover,
the linkage to the CPI of the depreciated sums of fixed assets and carryover losses for
tax purposes will be discontinued, in a manner whereby these sums will be adjusted until
the CPI at the end of 2007 and their linkage to the CPI will end as of that date.
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | As
explained in Note 2, the financial statements are measured in dollars. The difference
between the changes in the Israeli CPI and in the exchange rate of the dollar relative to
Israeli currency, both on annual and cumulative bases, creates a difference between
taxable income and income reflected in these financial statements.
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Paragraph
9(f) of FAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, prohibits the recognition of
deferred tax liabilities or assets that arise from differences between the financial
reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities that are measured from the local
currency into dollars using historical exchange rates, and that result from changes in
exchange rates or indexing for tax purposes. Consequently, the abovementioned differences
were not reflected in the computation of deferred tax assets and liabilities.
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | 2) | Tax
rates
| | -- | ---------

| | a) | The
income of the Company and ScanMaster Ltd. (other than income from                approved
enterprises, see b. below) are taxed at the regular rate.                For 2008
the corporate tax rate was 27% and it will gradually decrease from 26%                in
2009 to 25% in 2010.
| | -- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | b) | Non
Israeli subsidiaries
| | -- | ------------------------

| | Subsidiaries
that are incorporated outside of Israel are assessed for tax under the tax laws in their
countries of residence. The principal tax rates applicable to subsidiaries outside Israel
are as follows:
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Company
incorporated in the USA  tax rate of 39%.
| | --------------------------------------------------

| | Company
incorporated in tne Netherlands  tax rate of 20%.

ELBIT VISION SYSTEMS
LTD.NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

# NOTE 17  BUSINESS
AND GEOGRAPHICAL SEGMENTS

| | a. | General
information:
| | -- | --------------------

| | 1) | Factors
management used to identify the enterprises reportable segments
| | -- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | The
Companys reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different
products and services. They are managed separately because each business requires
different technology and marketing strategies. Most of the businesses were acquired as a
unit, and the management at the time of the acquisition was retained.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | 2) | Description
of the types of products and services from which each reportable           segment
derives its revenues
| | -- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Due
to the acquisition in 2004, the internal organizational structure changed; consequently,
the company has two reportable segments:
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (a) | Automatic
Vision Inspection segment  design, develop, manufacture and           marketing
automatic vision inspection and quality monitoring systems, and           rendering
services related to those systems.
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (b) | Non-destructive
Automated Inspection segment  develop, manufacture and           market equipment
for the ultrasonic inspection of industrial parts and           components for the
automotive and transportation industries, the metal industry           as well as
applications for aircraft and jet engine inspection.
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Prior
to June 2004, the Company operated only in one segment  the Automatic Vision
Inspection segment.
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | b. | Information
about reported segment income or loss and assets:
| | -- | -------------------------------------------------------------

| | Measurement
of segment income or loss and segment assets
| | --------------------------------------------------------

| | The
accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the significant
accounting policies. The Company evaluates performance based on profit or loss from
operations before income taxes, not including non-recurring gains and losses and foreign
exchange gains and losses.
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | The
Company accounts for inter-segment sales and transfers as if the sales or transfers were
to third parties, that is  at current market prices.

# NOTE 18  GOODWILL

| | As part
of the acquisition of ScanMaster, the Company recognized goodwill of approximately $3.6
million relating to the Non-destructive automated inspection division.  During
2008, the Company assessed the value of the Non-destructive automated inspection division
and determined that based on the general current financial condition and the specific
state of this division it would be appropriate to write-off approximately $2 million of
the value of the goodwill acquired in the ScanMaster acquisition.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | As
a result of a purchase price adjustment, relating to the acquisition of Panoptes, the
Company recognized goodwill of approximately $0.2 million during 2008.
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# NOTE 19 
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

| | At
the end of March of 2009, following the approval of the Companys audit committee
and board of directors, the Company entered into agreements with each of Bank Hapoalim
and Bank Leumi Le Israel in order to receive a credit line for $300,000 each. These two
loans, which bear a floating interest rate of LIBOR plus 3.75% and LIBOR plus 3.5%,
respectively, are due to be repaid in monthly installments by the end of December 2009.
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Mivtach
Shamir (the Company's  controlling  shareholder) has tentatively agreed to invest an
              aggregate  amount of $1.8 million as a part of a private  placement or
rights  offering,  of               which NIS 1,982,000  (approximately  $492,000)
Mivtach Shamir provided to the Company by way               of a convertible  loan during
2009.  The terms of the loan  conversion  and repayment of the               remaining
 investment  amount are  currently  being  negotiated  by  Mivtach  Shamir and the
              Company's  management.  The remaining  investment  amount and the
 conversion of the loan is               contingent  upon  Bank  Leumi Le  Israel  and
Bank  Hapoalim  agreeing  to  restructure  the               Company's  debt to them such
that the repayment of the principal on the loans will be frozen               until
 December 31, 2011.  If the Company does not receive such  approval from the banks and
              fail to receive  the $1.3  million  from  Mivtach  Shamir,  the  Company
 believes  that its               current  assets,  together with  anticipated  cash
generated  from  operations and available               credit lines,  will be
 insufficient  to meet the Company's  cash  requirements  for working
              capital and capital expenditures for twelve months from July 2009.
