ITEM 1.   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
-------   -----------------------

         General Overview:
         -----------------

         Genesis   Development  and   Construction   Ltd.   (together  with  its
subsidiaries,  the "Company",  unless the context requires otherwise) is engaged
in the  business of real estate  development  and  construction  management  for
residential and public  properties  primarily in Israel and to a limited extent,
through its foreign subsidiaries,  in Russia, Germany and the United States. The
Company acts as a general  contractor,  subcontracting  all of its  construction
activities  to  independent  subcontractors,  and manages  these  projects  with
on-site project managers and field engineers.  In addition,  the Company engages
in  the  sale  of  real  estate  development  rights  and  provides  consulting,
management  and financial  management  services in  connection  with real estate
activities conducted by other developers and contractors. Since the beginning of
1998 the Company has also engaged, through subsidiaries,  in the acquisition and
development of  income-producing  residential  properties for long term lease by
the Company to agencies of the Israeli government.  In May 1999 the Company sold
part of its  interests in such  properties, thereby  significantly  reducing the
level of its activity in this area.

          In May 1999 the Company  entered  into a Memorandum  of  Understanding
regarding  a  merger  transaction  with a  company  based in  Charleston,  South
Carolina,  and engaged in the business of providing  high-speed  Internet  cable
modem services. See "--Internet Cable Corporation Merger Transaction."

         The Company was  incorporated  in Israel in November 1992 and commenced
operations in July 1995.  In November  1996,  the Company  changed its name from
Schnapp  Equity  Limited  to  Genesis  Development  and  Construction  Ltd.  The
Company's  principal  executive offices are located at 10 Hasikma Street,  Haifa
31700, Israel, and its telephone number is 972-4-824-4868.  The Company conducts
its construction  activities  through its  subsidiaries.  All references in this
report to the  "Company"  shall  include  such  subsidiaries  unless the context
otherwise requires.

A.       Real Estate Development and Construction Business

         Over 90% of the land in Israel is owned by the  Government of the State
of Israel (the "Israeli  Government").  As a result, the rate of new development
and  construction  is  essentially  determined  by the Israeli  Government.  The
Israeli  Government  currently  awards  building  projects  primarily  through a
competitive  bidding  process in which  bidders  must  demonstrate,  among other
things,  the  quality of their work and their  ability to  complete  projects on
schedule  and in  accordance  with  specifications.  A  substantial  portion the
Company's projects in Israel have been awarded through,  and the Company intends
to  continue  to  participate  in,  this  competitive   bidding   process.   See
"--Residential Development and Construction Awards."

     The real estate  industry  in Israel has  undergone  rapid and  significant
expansion during the years 1990 to 1996. According to the Israeli Central Bureau
of  Statistics  (the  "ICBS"),   during  the  years  1990  through  1998  Israel
experienced an average  population growth of approximately  24%,  primarily as a
result of immigration from the countries formerly constituting the Soviet Union.
Although the rate of immigration  decreased since 1997, as reported by the ICBS,
immigration  has and  continues  to provide  the Israeli  economy  with a highly
educated and cost competitive labor force. See "--Conditions in Israel--Economic
Conditions" below.

          Since  1997,  the  Israeli  real  estate  market  has   experienced  a
recession,  resulting  in a  reduction  in demand and  prices and a decrease  of
construction  starts.  The demand for moderately  priced  housing,  which is the
Company's  main area of activity,  was also  adversely  affected by the economic
recession,  although to a lesser extent than the demand for luxury homes. Due to
the increased population,  the demand for public buildings,  such as educational
and community  centers,  is  relatively  stable at this time.  Accordingly,  the
Company is  presently  focusing its  construction  efforts in the area of public
buildings and on its Rehovot project.  See "--Real Estate  Projects--Residential
Projects--Pending  Projects" and "--Conditions in  Israel--Economic  Conditions"
below.

         Israel's limited supply of land requires the Israeli Government to make
efficient use of the resources  available in order to plan for its  continuously
growing  population.  The  percentage of  agriculture in Israel's gross domestic
product,  exports  and  employment  has fallen in recent  years and the  Israeli
Government is under pressure to re-zone agricultural land for urban development.
See "--Conditions in Israel--Political Conditions" below.

         The  policy  of  the  Israeli  Government  has  been  to  promote  home
ownership, both by making new land available to developers through a competitive
bidding process and by offering  various  entitlement  programs to purchasers of
residential  properties.  In addition,  Israel's  commercial mortgage banks have
become more  competitive and  sophisticated in recent years,  offering  flexible
residential mortgages to their customers as well as providing construction loans
and other financial  arrangements to developers.  However, the Israeli banks are
subject to certain limits imposed by directives  issued by the Israeli  Examiner
of Banks. See "Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and
Results of Operation--Liquidity and Capital Resources."

        Real Estate Business Strategy:
        -----------------------------
         The Company has implemented a business strategy of focusing its efforts
on developing and managing the  construction  of moderately  priced  residential
properties,  such as apartment  buildings,  primarily  targeted to newly married
couples and immigrants  seeking to own their first home,  and public  buildings,
such as education and  community  centers.  The Israeli real estate  industry is
subject to changes  resulting from,  among other things,  economic and political
conditions. Accordingly, the Company adjusts its business strategies in the best
interests  of the  Company  to  address  such  changes  and  opportunities.  The
Company's business strategy includes the following key elements:

*    Conservative  bidding policies.  The Company attempts to minimize the risks
     associated with working  primarily  pursuant to contracts awarded through a
     competitive  bidding process by conducting  feasibility and market analyses
     covering all pertinent  aspects of its proposed  commitment under a project
     prior to submitting a bid. These studies include such technical  aspects as
     title and zoning characteristics,  marketing studies that review population
     and employment  trends,  schools,  transportation  access,  buyer profiles,
     sales  forecasts,  projected  profitability,  cash  requirements  and other
     factors. Prior to acquiring rights in land, market studies are completed to
     determine the needs of the targeted  customers and to determine whether the
     price of the underlying land rights enables the Company to meet those needs
     at an affordable price. The Company generally purchases rights in land only
     when it can project the  commencement  of  construction  and sales within a
     reasonable  time period.  The Company  utilizes its  engineers  and project
     managers  as  well as  outside  architects  and  consultants,  under  close
     supervision, to help prepare its bid proposals.

*    Joint ventures and other opportunities.  The Company utilizes joint venture
     partnerships and other  collaborative  arrangements with third parties as a
     means  to both  expand  its  market  opportunities  and  reduce  the  risks
     associated with its real estate activities. Such arrangements include sales
     by the Company of all or part of the rights to the land being  developed by
     the Company. The Company intends to identify and cultivate a wide source of
     potential joint venture or other partners.

*    Fixing  costs.  As  a  matter  of  policy,   the  Company  will  not  begin
     construction of a project (unless  otherwise  committed due to the terms of
     the bid) until a significant  portion of the  construction  costs have been
     established  through fixed  subcontractor  fees and,  where  feasible,  the
     Company has obtained a substantial  percentage of  commitments  to purchase
     the units to satisfy  itself  that  substantially  all of the units in each
     phase of  construction  will be sold. This minimizes the Company's risks by
     enabling the Company to quantify  with  reasonable  certainty  its ultimate
     income  flow from the  project  before  committing  any of its  capital and
     resources.

*    Expanding into International  Markets. The Company is currently involved in
     three  development  projects  outside of Israel.  Although the Company will
     continue to  concentrate  its real estate  activity in Israel,  the Company
     believes   that  looking   beyond  the  Israeli   real  estate   market  to
     international  markets may  increase  its  opportunities  for  growth.  The
     Company  is  examining  emerging  international  markets  with high  growth
     potential in which it can implement its  expertise.  The rate and timing of
     such  expansion  and the  locations of such  activities  will depend on the
     Company's evaluation of existing market conditions, estimated profitability
     and other factors.

         Residential Development and Construction Awards:
         -----------------------------------------------

         The Company's  residential  development  and  construction  projects in
Israel have been and are likely to continue to be obtained primarily through the
competitive  bidding and raffle processes described below which are conducted by
the various  authorities  of the Israeli  Government.  With respect to the small
percentage of land  (approximately  10%) not owned by the Israeli Government and
other land subject to long-term leases from the Israeli Government,  the Company
may seek  opportunities  to  purchase  rights in such land for  development  and
resale directly from private owners.

*    Competitive  bids for  selected  homebuyers.  In this  competitive  bidding
     process,   the  Israeli  Government   establishes   criteria  for  eligible
     homebuyers.  Developers  compete for these projects either by submitting an
     average  unit price at which they will agree to build and sell the units to
     the  homebuyers  or by submitting a price for the purchase of the rights to
     the land.  Under the  supervision  of the Israeli  Government,  the winning
     developer will conduct  marketing  activities to sell the units to eligible
     homebuyers  and will be required to enter into  contracts  with each of the
     homebuyers  to  build  a unit  within  the  general  guidelines  previously
     provided by the Israeli Government to the developer.  The developer retains
     all of the  proceeds  from the sale of the  units in the  project,  and the
     homebuyers own the rights to the units and the developed land. The costs of
     any  design  or  other   changes   requested   beyond   the   predetermined
     specifications  will be  borne  by the  homebuyer  based  upon  independent
     negotiations with the developer.

*    Competitive  bids  for  land.  In this  competitive  bidding  process,  the
     developers submit bids to acquire rights in a specific  undeveloped  parcel
     of land.  The winning  developer is  generally  required to pay the Israeli
     Government the purchase price for the rights in the land within a specified
     time period after  winning the bid.  With the  exception  of certain  basic
     guidelines,  the  developer  will not be  restricted as to the terms of its
     agreements   with  the   homebuyers  but  will  be  obligated  to  complete
     development and  construction by a specific date. The developer  undertakes
     its own marketing  efforts to sell the units, and will determine the number
     of  units,  the  unit  prices  and  the  unit  specifications,  all  within
     applicable  zoning  regulations  and the terms of the bid. The character of
     the  development of the land and the units will be determined by applicable
     zoning regulations.

*    Raffle awards. Another method for awarding residential real estate projects
     is where the Israeli Government predetermines the purchase price for rights
     in an undeveloped parcel of land and awards it to developers  pursuant to a
     raffle. In this situation,  there is no competitive bidding among potential
     developers  for the rights to develop  the land.  A winning  bidder will be
     subject to certain general  guidelines as to the terms of its  arrangements
     with  the  homebuyers,  and is  restricted  only  in the  character  of the
     development  of the land and units in  accordance  with  applicable  zoning
     regulations.

<PAGE>
         Public Building Development and Construction Awards:
         ---------------------------------------------------

         Most of the Company's public building projects have been and are likely
to continue to be  obtained  through  framed  bidding  conducted  by the various
authorities  of  the  Israeli   Government.   The  Israeli  Government  and  its
authorities  and  municipalities,  in response to public  demand for  particular
types of  buildings,  such as art and science  centers,  schools or  gymnasiums,
request bids from developers for the construction of such buildings. The project
may be for the  development  and  construction  of a  specific  type  of  public
building  within a specific  region of Israel or throughout the entire  country.
The  design  and  other  specifications  are  either  set by the  requisitioning
governmental  authority before the commencement of the bidding process or by the
winning  developer  in  accordance  with  general  guidelines  supplied  by  the
requisitioning  governmental  authority.  Accordingly,  developers  are  able to
determine a fixed price to submit for the completion of the project.  Upon being
awarded a bid, the  developer  will be required to enter into a contract for the
construction  of the public  buildings  with the  governmental  authority  which
requisitioned  the  project  pursuant  to the terms of the  award.  The  winning
developer will be paid in advance or in a combination of partial advance payment
and  installment  payments of the balance at various stages of the  construction
process, depending upon the terms of the award.

Residential Projects - Projects Under Construction

     As of  May  31,  1999,  the  Company  was  involved  in  three  residential
development  projects in Israel, in different planning,  zoning and construction
stages,  in which the Company  plans to build  approximately  1,255  residential
units.  Construction of 900 of such residential  units is subject to the receipt
of various  approvals and the Company does not anticipate  their  completion for
several  years.  There  is no  assurance  that these  pending  projects  will be
completed in the manner  contemplated  by the Company,  or at all. The following
table     sets     forth     information      concerning     these     projects:

(1)      In   March  1997,   the   Company  was  awarded  by  the   Israel  Land
         Administration  rights to develop a parcel of approximately 19 acres in
         Rehovot,  in  central Israel.  The Company  estimates that this project
         will consist  of approximately 900 residential  units, in approximately
         residential  buildings, as well as public and commercial buildings. The
         completion  of this project is subject to the successful  evacuation of
         certain  tenants  that  reside on portions of the land and to approvals
         from governmental and municipal authorities.  The Company is currently
         offering 168  residential units for sale at this location, which are to
         be built in the first phase  of construction at this site.  Pursuant to
         the  terms  of   the  award,   the  Company  is  required  to  complete
         construction of the project by March 2002.

(2)      The Company is currently seeking approval from governmental authorities
         to increase the number of units in this project to 300.

(3)      In  December  1998 the  Company  was  engaged  by Shay Bar Real  Estate
         Investments  Ltd., an Israeli  publicly traded company ("Shay Bar"), to
         perform,  as  a  "turn-key"   contractor,   certain   construction  and
         renovation  work   on  building  purchased  by  Shay   Bar  in   Rishon
         Lezion,  in  connection  with the proposed  construction  of 130 studio
         apartments at the site.  In addition, the Company received $1.4 million
         for  consulting  and financial management services rendered to Shay Bar
         in connection with  this  project.  The completion of construction  and
         renovation of this project is expected to be  in  September 1999.  See
         "Item  13--Interest  of  Management in Certain Transactions."

         Overseas Projects

         Rassnitz,  Germany:  In March 1997, the Company acquired a 36% interest
in a project for the development and construction of a residential  neighborhood
in Rassnitz,  Germany.  The Company  anticipates that a total of 250 residential
units will be built in this project. In April 1997, the Company purchased 21.87%
of the  outstanding  shares of the 64% partner in this project,  a subsidiary of
Engel,  giving the  Company an  aggregate  interest of 50% in this  project.  In
September  1997,  the Company  sold 50% of its  interest in this project to Shay
Bar.  Pursuant  to the terms of the  engagement,  the  Company  is  required  to
complete construction of the project in December 2002. In addition,  the Company
and Engel will each be entitled to 2% and 6%, respectively, of the revenues from
this  project in return for  management  financial  and  marketing  services  in
connection  with  the  development  of  the  site.  See  "Item  13--Interest  of
Management in Certain Transactions."

                                       7
<PAGE>
         Southampton,  New York:  In March  1997,  the  Company  acquired  a 50%
interest in a project for the development  and  construction of 33 single family
homes  situated  in  Southampton,   New  York.  Construction  of  the  necessary
infrastructure at this site is in its final stage.

         Moscow,  Russia: In April 1997 the Company acquired a 25% interest in a
project for the  renovation of an office  building in Moscow and for  additional
related construction.  In September 1997 the Company sold 50% of its interest in
this project to Shay Bar. The construction of the exterior of the building is in
its final stages and the Company  anticipates that it will be completed within a
few months.  The partners in this project are currently  seeking tenants.  After
tenants for a substantial portion of the building are secured,  the parties will
commence  work  on  the  interior  of the  building  according  to the  tenants'
specifications. See "Item 13--Interest of Management in Certain Transactions."

         Public Buildings Projects

         Mifal Hapayis Community Centers
         -------------------------------
         In February 1996,  pursuant to a bid conducted by Mifal Hapayis,  Engel
and  four  other  companies  were  awarded  projects  for  the  construction  of
approximately  75 identical art and science  centers on the grounds of different
municipalities   throughout  Israel.   Mifal  Hapayis  is  a  quasi-governmental
institution  which runs the Israeli  national  lottery and uses its revenues for
the benefit of the public, particularly for financing the construction of public
facilities. Pursuant to the bid, each of the winning companies will enter into a
contract  for  the   construction  of  an  art  and  science  center  with  each
municipality  which  approaches it pursuant to the terms of the award. In August
1995,  the Company  entered into an agreement with Engel pursuant to which Engel
was required to engage the Company as  subcontractor  for each of such  projects
for which it is  retained,  upon  substantially  the same terms as the  contract
entered into between Engel and the  municipality.  To date, the Company has been
engaged by Engel to act as subcontractor for the construction of 5 such centers,
four of which  were  completed  prior to  December  1998.  The fifth  project is
substantially  completed  and requires  only minor  additional  work. In October
1996, the Company  modified its agreement with Engel and released Engel from its
commitment  to engage the Company as a  subcontractor  for further Mifal Hapayis
projects.  See "Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operation--Relationship with Engel."

         Educational Buildings
         ---------------------
         In  June  1998,   the  Company   completed  the   construction,   as  a
subcontractor  for Engel,  of the second  phase of a school  building at a youth
village in Petach Tikva, which is near Tel Aviv. The first phase of this project
was completed in September 1997.

         Gymnasiums
         ----------
         Pursuant to a bid the Company won in August 1996, it  constructed  five
gymnasiums  for  different  municipalities,  the last of  which is in its  final
construction stages.

         Military Construction
         ---------------------
         In April 1998,  the Company was awarded a  construction  project by the
Israeli  Government's  Ministry  of  Defense.  In order to  participate  in this
project,  the Company  obtained a special  security  rating from the Ministry of
Defense,  which  will  enable it to  participate  in other  classified  military
projects in the future. See "Description of Business--Regulatory  Matters." This
project is under construction and its completion is planned for June 2001.

<PAGE>
Other Real Estate Activities:
----------------------------

         Consulting, Management and Financial Management Services
         --------------------------------------------------------

         The Company provides  consulting,  management and financial  management
services for which it generally  receives a percentage of the net profits or the
revenues  generated  by the  project.  The  Company may act as a finder for bank
construction  loans and guarantees.  The Company believes that the experience of
its  management  qualifies  it to render a wide  array of  services  in the real
estate industry.

          Acquisition and Development of Income-Producing Residential Properties
          ----------------------------------------------------------------------

          In January 1998, the Company acquired interest in two properties,  one
in Bat-Yam and one in Tel-Aviv, through a former subsidiary in which the Company
owned a 50%  interest.  The Bat-Yam  property  was  renovated  and leased to the
Israeli Government's  Ministry of Absorption ("Ministry of Absorption") pursuant
to a five-year lease agreement.  The property in Tel-Aviv includes approximately
40  residential  units and is  designated  for rental  following  completion  of
renovation. In May 1999 the Company sold its interest in this project and in the
subsidiary,  through which the Company's interest was held, to the holder of the
remaining 50% interest in such subsidiary.

          In addition,  the Company  acquired rights to develop another property
in  Tel-Aviv,  where the Company  intends to  renovate  an existing  building to
create  200 to 225 small  residential  units,  which the  Company  will lease to
persons  referred by the Ministry of Absorption.  Approximately  20% of the rent
will be collected  from the tenants and the rest will be paid by the Ministry of
Absorption.  The Ministry of Absorption will pay the Company rent for all of the
Units,  whether  or not they are  occupied.  The  Company  has  entered  into an
agreement  with the Ministry of Absorption  regarding this  arrangement,  with a
five-year  term, and at the option of the Ministry of Absorption,  an additional
five-year  term.  In January  1998,  the  Company  sold a 20%  interest  in this
property to an unrelated party for total  consideration of $7 million. As of the
date of this report, this property is undergoing  renovation.  The original date
set for  completion  of the  renovation  in the  agreement  with the Ministry of
Absorption was May 1, 1999. Due to certain delays,  the parties reached a verbal
agreement,  according to which the building will be leased in phases,  the first
of which,  consisting of 58 Units, was completed in June 1999, and the remainder
is planned to be completed by September  30, 1999.  On June 30, 1999 the Company
executed an agreement with an unrelated party,  granting such party the right to
access the  property,  during a 90 day period,  for the purpose of assessing its
interest in acquiring rights in the property.

Subcontractors and Suppliers:
----------------------------
         The Company functions as a general  contractor,  subcontracting  all of
its construction  activities.  The Company manages these activities with on-site
supervisory employees such as project managers and field engineers. The services
of independent architectural, design, engineering and other consulting firms are
engaged to assist in  project  planning.  The  Company  does not have  long-term
contractual  commitments  with  its  subcontractors  or  consultants,   who  are
generally  selected on a  competitive  basis.  The Company  will retain  primary
responsibility  for the overall  project  performance.  The Company will also be
responsible  for  arranging  the  necessary  bank  financing,  for obtaining any
necessary permits for construction, and for obtaining adequate insurance for the
project.  The  subcontractor  is required to arrange for the necessary labor and
supplies and provide the necessary  equipment for the completion of the project.
The Company is substantially  dependent upon its  subcontractors to complete its
projects in a timely manner and in accordance with specifications.  Accordingly,
the  Company  is  subject  to  risks  such as  performance  delays,  substandard
construction and the financial  difficulties of the subcontractor.  Although the
Company's contracts with its subcontractors generally require the subcontractors
to obtain performance guarantees with respect to projects, the Company's present
policy does not always  require the  subcontractors  to provide the Company with
guarantees.   To  quantify   project  costs,   the  Company  seeks  to  fix  its
subcontracting  costs prior to the commencement of construction and to condition
certain obligations on the receipt of related payments due to the Company.

         The  building  industry  may from time to time  experience  fluctuating
prices  and supply  for raw  materials.  Cement is the  principal  raw  material
utilized in the  construction  of Israeli  homes and  buildings.  Nesher  Israel
Cement  Enterprises Ltd.  ("Nesher") is presently Israel's principal producer of
cement.  Most other  cement must be imported.  Although  the Israeli  Government
regulates the services and prices charged by monopolies such as Nesher, the lack
of  competition in the Israeli cement market may have an effect on cement prices
and, as a result,  the costs of  construction.  The  Company has no  contractual
commitments  with  suppliers  of  materials.  Other than Nesher,  the  Company's
business is not materially dependent upon any suppliers.

         Marketing and Sales:
         -------------------
         As soon as possible after winning a bid for a residential  project, the
Company  commences  its  marketing  efforts  to  sell  each of the  units  to be
constructed.  The  Company  markets its  residential  units  primarily  to newly
married  couples  and  immigrants  seeking to own their  first  home.  Each unit
purchaser  is  generally  required to provide a  downpayment  with  respect to a
specific  percentage of the unit purchase  price.  The  Company's  policy,  when
possible,  is to require sales  commitments  with respect to at least 50% of the
units before  engaging a subcontractor  or otherwise  committing any significant
capital to any phase of a project.  The  deposits  will  typically  provide  the
Company with sufficient capital for the commencement of the project. The Company
is  required  under  Israeli  law to  provide  the  unit  purchasers  with  bank
guarantees which cover an amount equal to the funds received by the Company from
such  purchasers.   See  "Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial
Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources."

         Mortgage Financing and Governmental Entitlement Programs:
         --------------------------------------------------------
         There are two primary sources in Israel for obtaining financing for the
purchase of real property:  traditional bank and insurance company mortgages and
government entitlement programs. Bank mortgages in Israel are typical of most of
the world, providing for a long-term loan requiring monthly payments and secured
by a lien on the property.

                                       10
<PAGE>
         The Israeli  Government has  established  entitlement  programs for the
purpose of encouraging  home ownership.  Most entitlement  programs  relating to
home  ownership  are targeted to first time home buyers,  usually  newly married
couples and immigrants.  These programs provide for low-interest loans and small
grants.  The degree of  assistance  will depend upon the category of  population
(e.g.,  married,  immigrant,  number  of  children)  and  the  location  of  the
residential  unit.  Although  the policies of the various  entitlement  programs
change from time to time, they are presently  stable.  However,  there can be no
assurance  that the Israeli  Government's  policies in this area will not change
due to political,  economic or other  considerations.  Any such change of policy
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations.

         Competition:
         -----------
         The  real  estate  industry  in  Israel  is  highly  competitive,  with
developers  competing for customers,  desirable  properties  and financing.  The
Company  competes with numerous other firms,  ranging from regional and national
firms to small local companies.  In addition,  the Company competes with resales
of existing residential  properties by individuals,  financial  institutions and
others.

         As most land in Israel is owned by the Israeli Government,  most of the
Company's  projects in Israel are and will  continue  to be  obtained  primarily
through  public  bidding  processes.  The  Company  will be  required  to  place
competitive   bids  for   residential  and  public  projects  with  the  various
governmental  authorities.   Some  of  the  Company's  competitors  have  longer
operating  histories and greater  financial,  marketing and sales resources than
the Company, all of which may be necessary to qualify or pre-qualify for certain
government  project  awards and may hinder the  Company's  ability to bid for or
participate in such projects. There can be no assurance that the Company will be
successful  in  winning  projects  for which it  submits  bids or  otherwise  be
successful in competing in the Israeli real estate industry.

         Regulatory Matters:
         ------------------
         There are two  categories  of land in Israel.  "Freehold"  land,  which
constitutes  approximately  10% of all land in  Israel,  is owned  primarily  by
individuals and private legal entities, as well as by municipal and governmental
entities.  The Israeli  Government  and the Jewish  National Fund own all of the
remaining land. Through its administrative body, the ILA, the Israeli Government
grants  long-term  leases for the use of its land.  A basic  long-term  lease is
generally  for 49  years,  and may be  extended  by the  lessee  for  additional
successive 49-year periods.

         Real estate  development  and  construction  are heavily  regulated  in
Israel.  The Company and its  competitors  are subject to rules and  regulations
concerning  zoning,  building  design,  construction  and similar  matters which
impose  restrictive zoning and density  requirements.  Development plans usually
require  approval by three  municipal  and  governmental  bodies:  the municipal
authorities,  the regional authorities and the Israeli Government's  Ministry of
the Interior. Once a plan is approved by all required levels, the developer must
apply for a  construction  permit  for a  specific  project  from the  municipal
authorities.  The application  must be consistent  with the  development  scheme
established by the Ministry of the Interior and be approved by the municipal and
regional authorities. Each lot is zoned for a specific purpose. An applicant may
request a zoning  change.  A betterment  levy may be levied on rezoned  land. As
experience  in dealing with the  extensive  Israeli  planning  process is thus a
critical  success factor in real estate  development,  the Company  believes the
experience  of its  management  provides  it with the  ability to compete in its
markets.

                                       11
<PAGE>
         The Israeli  Government  owns and leases both developed and undeveloped
land.  Developed  land is leased to the  public by the ILA for an  amortized  or
annual fee. In order to lease undeveloped lands, a development agreement must be
entered into with the ILA pursuant to which the lessee undertakes to develop the
land in accordance  with certain  requirements,  and to complete the development
within a specified  time table.  If the  purported  lessee  fails to satisfy the
requirements  within  the  time  table,  the land  and any  improvements  may be
repossessed by the ILA. Lease fees for  undeveloped  land are payable to the ILA
for  the  full  lease  term in  advance  upon  the  signing  of the  development
agreement.

         Transfers of rights in  government-owned  land are normally  granted in
the ordinary  course upon payment to the ILA of a transfer  consent fee which is
calculated on the basis of the increase in value of the land, but without taking
into account any increase in value  resulting from  construction  by the lessee.
Sales of land rights  previously  purchased for  development  are not subject to
transfer consent fees.

         All Israeli general  contractors are required to be registered with the
Housing Ministry, and their registrations are classified within the range of C-1
to C-5. The financial scope of a contractor's  activities as well as the size of
projects to be  undertaken by it are subject to the  limitations  imposed by its
particular   classification.   Genesis   Performance  (1997)  Ltd.  and  Genesis
Construction  Performance (1994) Ltd., wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company,
possess a C-5  classification  which enable the Company to undertake projects of
an unlimited  financial scope and an unlimited  project size, as well as G-1 and
B-1  classifications,  which  enable  the  Company to  undertake  infrastructure
development,  road, sewage and drainage construction  projects. The registration
is  automatically  renewed  each year  unless  there is cause  for  non-renewal,
principally  due to  bankruptcy,  certain  criminal  offenses  or the failure to
maintain the requisite  qualified  personnel.  For purposes of maintaining  such
registration,  the Company  employs  two  professional  workers  approved by the
Israeli Contractor's Register.

         In addition,  the Company has obtained a special  security  rating from
the Israeli Government's Ministry of Defense, designated C-5*, which will enable
the Company to participate in classified  military  projects in the future.  See
"--Principal Projects--Public Buildings Projects--Military Construction."

         Employees:
         ---------
         At June 25, 1999, the Company had 29 full-time employees, including its
chief engineer, field engineers and administrative office employees. The Company
also utilizes  independent  field  engineers  from the localities of its various
projects.  The Company currently  utilizes and intends to continue to utilize an
independent  contractor  as its  projects  manager.  The Company  considers  its
relations with its employees to be good.  The Company  believes that its current
staff  of  employees  is  adequate  to meet its  present  needs.  The  Company's
construction  operations  are  conducted  through  independent   subcontractors,
thereby limiting the number of its employees. None of the Company's employees is
represented by a union. See "--Subcontractors and Suppliers" above.

         Israeli  law and orders of the Israeli  Government's  Ministry of Labor
and Welfare  contain  provisions  concerning  principally the length of the work
day, minimum daily wages, insurance for work-related accidents, determination of
severance  pay,  adjustments  of wages in  accordance  with  inflation and other
conditions of  employment.  The Company  generally  provides its employees  with
benefits and working conditions above the required  minimums.  See "Compensation
of Directors and Officers" below.

                                       12
<PAGE>
        There is  currently  no shortage  of labor in Israel for the  Company's
industry  due to a  readily  available  foreign  labor  force.  As a  result  of
restrictions on the entry of Palestinian workers, it is the Company's policy not
to  utilize  subcontractors  who employ any  workers  residing  within the zones
typically restricted as such. The Company currently relies on subcontractors who
employ  local and  foreign  workers.  The  Company  has a license  issued by the
Ministry of the Interior,  to employ foreign workers and deposited as collateral
security certain amounts with the Ministry of the Interior as a condition to its
employment of foreign  workers.  Such  collateral was deposited by a third party
that is  handling  all  procedures  related to foreign  workers on behalf of the
Company.  There can be no assurance that the Company will not  experience  labor
shortages in the future.  In recent years,  the Israeli  Government  has limited
issuing new licenses for foreign workers seeking employment in Israel.  Although
the Company  believes  that there is  presently a  sufficient  number of foreign
laborers to satisfy the  Company's  current  demands,  there can be no assurance
that the Israeli  Government will not respond to political and social conditions
with protectionist  measures such as the expulsion of existing foreign laborers,
or that as the Company's demand for workers increases there will be a sufficient
number of foreign and other  workers  available  to satisfy  such  demands.  The
increased  costs and delays in  construction  of projects  due to these  factors
could have an adverse effect upon the Company's  operations.  See  "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

         Conditions in Israel:
         --------------------
         The Company's  operations are currently  conducted  primarily in Israel
and  accordingly,  the Company is directly  affected by economic,  political and
military  conditions  in that  country.  The  operations of the Company could be
materially adversely affected if major hostilities involving Israel should occur
in the Middle East.

Political Conditions
--------------------
         Since the  establishment  of the  State of  Israel in 1948,  a state of
hostility has existed,  varying as to degree and  intensity,  between Israel and
its  Arab  neighbors.  Following  the  Six-Day  War in  1967,  Israel  commenced
administering  the  territories  of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip and,  since
December  1987,  increased  civil  unrest has existed in these  territories.  In
addition,  Israel has been the target of terrorist  activities  and attacks,  in
varying degrees of intensity.  Although,  as described below, Israel has entered
into  various  agreements  with  Arab  countries  and the  Palestine  Liberation
Organization  ("PLO") and various  declarations  have been signed in  connection
with efforts to resolve some of the aforementioned  problems,  no prediction can
be made as to whether a full resolution of these problems will be achieved or as
to the nature of any such  resolution.  To date,  these  problems have not had a
material adverse impact on the financial  condition or operation of the Company,
although there can be no assurance that  continuation of these problems will not
have such an impact in the future.

         In 1979, a peace  agreement  between  Israel and Egypt was signed under
which full political  relations were established;  however,  economic  relations
have been limited.

         In  September  1993,  a  breakthrough  occurred in  Israeli-Palestinian
relations. A joint  Israeli-Palestinian  Declaration of Principles was signed by
Israel  and  the  PLO  in  Washington,   D.C.,   outlining  interim  Palestinian
self-government  arrangements.  In May  1994,  Israel  and  the  PLO  signed  an
agreement in Cairo in which the principles of the September 1993  Declaration of
Principles  were  implemented.  In accordance  with this  agreement,  Israel has
transferred the civil  administration of the Gaza Strip, Jericho and other parts
of the West Bank to the Palestinian Self-Rule Authority and the Israeli army has
withdrawn  from some of these areas.  Since such  agreement,  Israel and the PLO
reached  several  others  agreements  for the  gradual  redeployment  of Israeli
military  forces  in the West  Bank  and the  transfer  of  certain  powers  and
governmental  responsibilities  to a Palestinian elected council with respect to
certain territories in the West Bank.

         In  October  1994,  Israel  and  Jordan  signed  a  peace  treaty  (the
"Treaty").  Following  the Treaty,  full  diplomatic  relations  between the two
countries have been  established.  In addition,  the Treaty expresses the mutual
desire of the parties for  economic  cooperation  and calls for both  parties to
lift economic barriers and discrimination  against each other and to act jointly
towards the removal of any  economic  boycotts by third  parties.  In  December,
1996,  Israel and Jordan signed a trade agreement  designed to liberalize  trade
between the two countries.

         On November 4, 1995, Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated by a
right wing zealot opposing the peace process, which was promoted by Mr. Rabin.

         To date, Israel has not entered into a peace treaty with either Lebanon
or Syria,  although it has conducted  certain  negotiations with Syria towards a
solution  of  the  hostility  between  them.  Furthermore,  notwithstanding  the
agreements and declarations  described  above, the relations  between Israel and
the PLO are not yet fully formalized.

         From time to time hostilities break out on Israel's border with Lebanon
between  Israel and  guerilla  groups  based in South  Lebanon.  Although  these
hostilities sometimes result in extensive damage to private property in northern
Israel,  including  areas  within  which the  Company  conducts  its real estate
activities,  the Company does not believe that the  operations  related to these
hostilities  will have  material  effect on the  Company's  assets or results of
operations.

         In the past few years there has been  certain  stagnation  in the peace
process in the Middle East. No prediction  can be made as to whether or how this
process will develop or what effect it may have on the Company. On May 17, 1999,
Mr.  Ehud Barak of the Labor  Party was  elected  as  Israel's  Prime  Minister.
According to Mr. Barak's declarations prior to his election,  the new government
will  attempt to speed up the peace  process  with the  Palestinians  and resume
negotiations with Syria.

Army Service
------------
         All male  adult  citizens  of Israel  under  the age of 51 are,  unless
exempt,  obligated  to perform  approximately  30 days of military  reserve duty
annually.  Additionally, all such citizens are subject to being called to active
duty at any time under  emergency  circumstances.  Some of the  employees of the
Company are  obligated to perform  annual  reserve  duty.  While the Company has
operated  effectively under these requirements in the past, no assessment can be
made of the full  impact of such  requirements  on the  Company  in the  future,
particularly if emergency circumstances occur.

Economic Conditions
-------------------
         Israel's  economy has been subject to numerous  destabilizing  factors,
including a period of rampant  inflation in the early to mid-1980s  that reached
an annual peak of 445%, low foreign  exchange  reserves,  fluctuations  in world
commodity  prices,  military  conflicts  and civil unrest among the  Palestinian
population. The Israeli government has, for these and other reasons,  intervened
in the economy by utilizing,  among other means,  fiscal and monetary  policies,
import duties,  foreign currency  restrictions and control of wages,  prices and
exchange rates. The Israeli government's monetary policy contributed to relative
price  and  exchange  rate  stability  during  most  of  1993  to  1997  despite
fluctuating  rates of economic growth and unemployment.  The Israeli  government
has in the past  periodically  changed its policies in all these  areas.  During
1997,  the monetary  policy of the Bank of Israel  changed in several  respects.
These changes included a decision of the Bank of Israel to reduce interest rates
and a move by the Bank of Israel  to reduce  its  intervention  in the  currency
markets to allow the NIS to trade more freely.  In addition,  the Bank of Israel
has adopted certain  measures to liberalize  foreign currency  regulations.  See
Item 6. An period of accelerated devaluation of the NIS has been one consequence
of these policy changes. Subject to further changes in policy, the NIS-US Dollar
exchange  rate may  fluctuate  more  widely in the future  than it has in recent
years.

<PAGE>
         Since the beginning of 1998, the Israeli economy has been  experiencing
a recession,  resulting,  inter alia, in growing  unemployment rates, a very low
inflation rate and high interest rates. According to the ICBS, from 1994 through
1998,  Israel's GDP increased 6.8%,  7.1%,  4.7%,  2.7% and 2.0%,  respectively,
although the GDP growth per capita for 1997 and 1998 was negative.  In addition,
Israel has recently experienced an increase in its unemployment level. According
to data published by the ICBS,  average  unemployment  rates have increased from
6.7% and 7.7% of the  civilian  labor force in 1996 and 1997,  respectively,  to
8.6% in 1998.

         The  following  table sets forth,  for the periods  indicated,  certain
information  with respect to the CPI, the rate of inflation in Israel,  the rate
of  devaluation  of the NIS in Israel  and the rate of  inflation  adjusted  for
devaluation.

Assistance from the United States
---------------------------------
         The State of Israel  receives  a  significant  amount of  economic  and
military assistance from the United States,  averaging  approximately $3 billion
annually over the last several  years.  In addition,  in 1992, the United States
approved  the  issuance of up to $10 billion of loan  guarantees  during  United
States  fiscal  years  1993-1998  to help  Israel  absorb a large  influx of new
immigrants,  primarily from the republics of the former Soviet Union. In January
1998, Israel issued $1.44 billion of 30-year U.S. Government-backed bonds, which
was the last issue conducted as part of the U.S. Government guaranteed facility.
Israel has used the funds it has  borrowed in  1993-1998  to bolster its foreign
exchange reserves and to fund increased  investments,  mainly in infrastructure.
There is no assurance  that foreign aid from the United  States will continue at
or near  amounts  received in the past.  In January  1998,  Israeli and American
officials began discussions  concerning gradually ending the annual civilian aid
package of $1.2 billion.  If the grants for economic and military  assistance or
the United States loan guarantees are eliminated or reduced  significantly,  the
Israeli economy could suffer material adverse consequences.

B.       Merger with Cable Internet Corporation ("ICC")

         In May 1999 the Company  executed a Memorandum  of  Understanding  (the
"MOU") with Internet Cable Corporation  ("Internet Cable"), a broadband Internet
access provider incorporated under the laws of Nevada, whose shares are publicly
traded on the OTC/BB  (symbol  ICBL),  contemplating  a merger  between  the two
companies.  Pursuant to the MOU the shareholders of Internet Cable will exchange
their  stock for stock in a new US holding  company to be formed by the  Company
and  to  be  called  Internet  Cable   Corporation  (the  "New  Genesis").   The
shareholders of Internet Cable,  after giving effect to this  transaction,  will
own  approximately  59% of the issued and  outstanding  common  stock of the New
Genesis and, in  addition, may  receive  warrants to purchase additional shares.

         The  transaction  is subject to, among other  things,  appropriate  due
diligence,  execution  of  definitive  agreements,  approval  of both  boards of
directors, shareholders' meetings and fairness opinion letters. The MOU has been
presented to and  approved by the boards of directors of Internet  Cable and the
Company.
                                       16

Internet Cable, headquartered in Charleston,  South Carolina, is in the business
of providing  high-speed Internet cable modem services.  The use of cable modems
for  Internet  access  provides  customers  the ability to  download  and upload
multi-media at speeds  hundreds of times faster than those of typical  telephone
modems.

         Negotiations  regarding the structure of the  transaction and the terms
of a definitive agreement are in progress.


ITEM 2.  DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
------   -----------------------

          In addition to rights in real estate  currently  held for  development
and sale, the Company owns office space for its corporate headquarters,  located
in Haifa in northern Israel.  The Company  purchased the rights to such space in
May 1996 for $126,250 and has since obtained a 15-year mortgage on the property.
Such  mortgage  bears  interest at the rate of 5.5% and requires  equal  monthly
payments of principal and interest, linked to adjustments in accordance with the
CPI. The Company has also leased  office space in a  neighboring  building.  The
term of such lease is for 60 months, commencing January 1997, with an option for
the Company to extend the lease for an additional 12 months.  The payments under
the lease are $550 per month.  In addition,  the Company has leased office space
in Rehovot,  in close  proximity to its residential  project located there.  See
"Item 1--Real Estate Projects--Residential  Projects." The term of such lease is
for 12 months,  commencing on December  1999,  with an option for the Company to
extend the lease for an additional 60 months.  The monthly  payments  under this
lease  are  $500.  The  Company's  U.S.  subsidiary,   Genesis  Development  and
Construction, Inc., has leased office space in New City, New York. This lease is
on a monthly  basis and the  payments  under the lease  approximate  $1,500  per
month. The Company's office space is adequate for its anticipated future needs.


ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
-------  -----------------

         There are no material legal proceedings pending to which the Company or
any of its property is subject and, to the  knowledge of the Company,  there are
no such proceedings threatened, except as described below.

          On October 22, 1998 Moshe Schnapp, the Company's president,  Eli Aran,
the  Company's  chairman,  and the Company  filed a Statement  of Claim  against
Israel Discount Bank Ltd. (the "Bank") in the Tel Aviv District  Court,  seeking
damages in the amount of $100 million. The suit relates to negotiations, between
Messrs.  Schnapp and Aran and the Bank,  concerning  the financing of a proposed
acquisition of a controlling  interest in a large Israeli energy and real estate
holding company. In June 1999, following the Company's notice to Messrs. Schnapp
and Aran that it would not bear any of the cost of  prosecuting  this claim,  it
was agreed that the Company  would remain a party to the suit but would not bear
any of such  costs and  would be  entitled  to only 5% of the net  amount of any
recovery.

          Substantially all of the Company's  construction contracts relating to
the Company's  projects for which it acts as the general contractor provide that
the Company is responsible for maintaining  and  supervising  each  construction
site. As general contractor,  the Company is liable for any damages to a project
and any injury  sustained by any person on a construction  site, and is required
to  obtain  sufficient  insurance,  including  insurance  for  property  damage,
personal  injury  and  workers  compensation.  Although  the  Company  currently
maintains  liability  and  workers  compensation  insurance  that it believes is
adequate as to both risk and amounts for each of its projects, successful claims
could  exceed the limits of the  Company's  insurance  and could have a material
adverse  effect on the  Company's  business,  financial  condition  or operating
results.  Moreover,  there can be no assurance  that the Company will be able to
obtain such insurance on commercially reasonable terms in the future or that any
such insurance will provide adequate coverage against potential claims.

                                       17
<PAGE>

          In addition,  a claim asserted  against the Company could be costly to
defend,  could  consume  management  resources  and could  adversely  affect the
Company's  reputation and business,  regardless of the merit or eventual outcome
of such claim.

ITEM 4.  CONTROL OF REGISTRANT
------   ---------------------
         The following  table sets forth certain  information as of May 31, 1999

         the  Company's  initial  public  offering in January  1997.  Options to
         purchase  up to 700,000  Class A Ordinary  Shares  that were  issued in
         January 1998 were not exercised and therefore cancelled.

          As of May 31, 1999 the Company had 3,237,087  Class A Ordinary  Shares
outstanding, following a private placement of 850,000 Class A Ordinary Shares in
May 1999 and the  issuance  of  26,087  Class A  Ordinary  Shares  to  Rodmand &
Renshaw, Inc., a financial advisor engaged by the Company in connection with its
contemplated merger with ICC, See "Item 8- Management Discussion and Analysis of
Financial  Conditions  and Results of  Operations  Public  Offering  and Private

          In connection with the litigation between the Company, Messrs. Schnapp
and Aran and  Israel  Discount  Bank  Ltd.,  the Bank  claims  to have a lien on
2,200,000 of the Company's  Class B Ordinary Shares  (1,200,000  owned by Agaret
Sixteen (93) Ltd. and 1,000,000  held by Eli Aran as trustee for his wife,  Irit
Aran),  which are deposited  with a bank in New York.  Messrs.  Schnaap and Aran
maintain  that such lien is not,  and never  was,  in force.  See "Item  3-Legal
Proceedings."

Performance Shares

         The Company's  Articles of Association  provide that 2,660,000  Class B
Ordinary  Shares (the  "Performance  Shares")  are subject to a share  deference
program  (the  "Deference  Program").  Pursuant to the  Deference  Program,  the
Performance  Shares would convert into "Deferred Shares" (having no rights other
than the right to receive an amount not in excess of the par value  thereof (NIS
0.1) upon  dissolution  of the Company) if the Company  does not attain  certain
earnings levels. Such earnings levels were attained in the Company's 1997 fiscal
year and all of the  Performance  Shares have been  released  from the Deference
Program.  See "Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial  Condition and
Results of  Operations--  Charge to Income as a Result of Release of Performance

ITEM 6.  EXCHANGE CONTROLS AND OTHER LIMITATIONS AFFECTING SECURITY HOLDERS
-------  ------------------------------------------------------------------

         The Bank of Israel  adopted  in 1998  measures  to  liberalize  foreign
currency  regulations.  The  implementation  of certain of these measures may be
subject to further legislation. Changes in the Israeli tax regulations may occur
as a result of these measures.  Pursuant to the Currency  Control Law, 1978, and
its  regulations,  as amended,  non-residents of Israel are permitted to convert
Israeli currency into freely  repatriable  U.S. US Dollars or other  non-Israeli
currency  and  transfer  such  currency  out  of  Israel,  including  converting
dividends  (if any) on the  Ordinary  Shares,  and any amounts  payable upon the
dissolution,  liquidation  or winding up of the affairs of the  Company,  at the
exchange rate prevailing at the time of conversion, provided that Israeli income
tax has been  paid or  withheld  with  respect  to such  amounts  to the  extent
applicable,  or an exemption from such payment or withholding  requirements  has
been obtained.

         Non-residents  of Israel may freely hold and trade the Ordinary Shares.
The ownership or voting of securities of the Company by  non-residents of Israel
is not  restricted in any way by the  Memorandum of  Association  or Amended and
Restated Articles of Association of the Company or by the laws of Israel, except
with  respect to transfer of shares to  residents  of  countries  which are in a
state of war with Israel.

         There can be no assurance that the above laws and regulations  will not
be altered or replaced in the future. Such changes could have a material adverse
effect on the holders of Ordinary Shares.

ITEM 7.  TAXATION
-------  --------
         Israeli  law  generally  imposes  a  capital  gains  tax on the sale of
securities and any other capital assets.  Commencing  January 1, 1996, the basic
tax rate applicable to companies is 36%. The maximum tax rate for individuals is
50%. These rates are subject to the  provisions of any applicable  bilateral tax
treaty. The treaty concerning taxation between the United States and Israel (the
"U.S.-Israel  Tax  Treaty") is  discussed  below.  Under  Israeli  law, the gain
attributable  to  inflation,  as opposed to real  economic  gain, is exempt from
capital gains tax.

         Individuals who are  non-residents of Israel are subject to a graduated
income tax on income  derived or accrued  from  sources in Israel or received in
Israel. Dividend distributions,  other than bonus shares (share dividends),  are
subject to a 25%  withholding  tax,  unless a  different  rate is  provided in a
treaty between Israel and the shareholder's  country of residence.  The withheld
tax is  the  final  tax in  Israel  on  dividends  paid  to  non-residents.  See
"U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty" below.

         A  non-resident  of Israel  who has  dividend  income  derived  from or
accrued in Israel,  from which tax was withheld at source,  is generally  exempt
from the duty to file tax returns in Israel in respect of such income,  provided
such  non-resident's  only  income  from  Israel  was  dividend  income and such
dividend  income  was not  derived  from a business  conducted  in Israel by the
taxpayer.

         Residents of the United States  generally will have  withholding tax in
Israel  deducted at source.  They may be entitled to a credit or  deduction  for
United States federal  income tax purposes in the amount of the taxes  withheld,
subject to  detailed  rules  contained  in United  States tax  legislation.  See
"U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty" below.

         Israel currently has no estate or gift tax.

         U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty
         ----------------------

         Pursuant  to  the  U.S.-Israel  Tax  Treaty,  the  sale,   exchange  or
disposition  of Class A Ordinary  Shares by a person who qualified as a resident
of the United  States  within the  meaning  of, and who is entitled to claim the
benefits afforded such resident by, the U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty,  which generally
includes  United  States  corporations,  United States  citizens,  and permanent
residents who maintain a permanent  home or habitual  abode in the United States
and who are not  resident in Israel for  purposes of Israeli tax  ("Treaty  U.S.
Resident")  will not be subject to the  Israeli  capital  gains tax unless  such
Treaty  U.S.  Resident,  being an  individual,  is present in Israel for periods
aggregating  183 days or more during the taxable  year,  or,  whether or not the
Treaty U.S.  Resident is an individual,  holds,  directly or indirectly,  shares
representing  10% or more of the voting power of the Company  during any part of
the 12-month period  preceding such sale,  exchange or  disposition,  subject to
certain  conditions.  A sale, exchange or disposition of Class A Ordinary Shares
by a Treaty U.S. Resident who holds, directly or indirectly, shares representing
10% or more of the voting power of the Company at any time during such preceding
12-month  period or who is  present  in Israel  for 183 days or more  during the
taxable  year would be subject to such  Israeli  tax, to the extent  applicable;
however,  under the  U.S.-Israel  Tax Treaty,  if such gain is taxable by Israel
because of ownership of 10% or more of the voting power of the Company, the gain
would be treated as foreign  source income for United States  foreign tax credit
purposes and such Treaty U.S.  Resident would be permitted to claim a credit for
such taxes against the United  States income tax imposed on such sale,  exchange
or  disposition,  subject to the  limitations  under the United  States  federal
income tax laws  applicable  to foreign tax  credits.  If the gain is taxable in
Israel because the selling Treaty U.S. Resident is an individual who was present
in Israel for 183 days or more  during the  taxable  year,  such  United  States
foreign  tax credit will only be  available  if the sale of the Class A Ordinary
Shares took place in Israel.  Under the U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty,  sales by Treaty
U.S.  Residents  of  Warrants  will not be taxable by Israel  unless the selling
Treaty U.S. Resident, being an individual,  is present in Israel for 183 days or
more during the taxable year.
                                       21

<PAGE>

         Under the U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty,  the maximum Israeli tax on dividends
paid to a Treaty  U.S.  Resident  is 25%.  The  U.S.-Israel  Tax Treaty  further
provides for a maximum tax rate of 12.5% on dividends paid to a U.S. corporation
owning 10% or more of the paying Israeli company's voting stock for, in general,
the  current and the  immediately  preceding  tax years of the Israeli  company,
provided the paying  Israeli  company meets certain  limitations  concerning the
amount of its dividend and interest income. The lower 12.5% rate applies only on
dividends from income not derived from certain enterprises  eligible for Israeli
tax  incentives  in the  applicable  period;  otherwise,  a 15% or 25% rate will
apply.

         Potential for Taxation as a Passive Foreign Investment Company
         --------------------------------------------------------------

         In the event  that the  Company  was  deemed  to be a  passive  foreign
investment company (a "PFIC") for purposes of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the "Code"),  special  provisions of the Code would apply to certain
shareholders  of the Company and could impose adverse tax  consequences  on such
shareholders.  Generally  speaking,  a PFIC is defined as a foreign  corporation
that meets either of the following  conditions  for any taxable year: (i) 75% or
more of its gross  income,  including  the pro rata share of the gross income of
any  corporation  (U.S. or foreign) in which it owns an interest of at least 25%
(by value), is passive income; or (ii) at least 50% of its assets (averaged over
the year and determined  based upon fair market  value),  including the pro rata
share of the assets of any  corporation in which it owns an interest of at least
25% (by value),  are  considered to be held for the  production  of, or produce,
passive income.

                  The Company  believes  that it was not a PFIC in 1997,  and it
will  evaluate its status for 1998.  The tests for  determining  PFIC status are
applied  annually  and it is difficult to make  accurate  predictions  of future
income  and  assets,   each  of  which  are  relevant  to  this   determination.
Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company will not become a PFIC.

ITEM 9.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
-------  CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
         -------------------------------------------------

         The following  discussion  and analysis  should be read in  conjunction
with "Item 8--Selected Financial Data" and the Consolidated Financial Statements
and Notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.

General:
-------
         The Company  operates its business  primarily in three  segments of the
Israeli  real  estate  industry:  (i)  development  and  construction,  (ii) the
provision  of  services  for  construction  projects  and (iii) the sale of real
estate  development  rights.  Since the beginning of 1998,  the Company has also
engaged in the  acquisition  and  development  of  income-producing  residential
properties  for long  term  lease by the  Company  to  agencies  of the  Israeli
government.  To date,  the Company's  revenues have been derived  primarily from
real estate  development and construction  activities and, to some extent,  from
the sale of real estate development  rights and from consulting,  management and
financial management services in connection with construction projects. Revenues
with respect to the Company's development and construction  activities have been
derived  pursuant to fixed price  contracts,  from which the Company  recognizes
revenue based upon the percentage of completion method. Revenues with respect to
the sale of real estate  development  rights are  recognized by the full accrual
method  when the sale is  consummated.  Revenues  with  respect  to  consulting,
management and financial management services are recognized to the extent of fee
revenue. See Note 2(j) of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

         The Consolidated  Financial  Statements are prepared in accordance with
Israeli  GAAP  which,  as  described  in  detail  in  Note  29 of the  Notes  to
Consolidated Financial Statements, differ in certain respects from U.S. GAAP. In
particular, under Israeli GAAP, revenue derived from projects is recognized when
at least 90% of the  project is  completed  and at least 75% of the units in the
project are sold or 25% of the project is completed and all units in the project
are sold. Under U.S. GAAP, the Company would be able to recognize revenues for a
project when the project  expenditures are predictable and there is a reasonable
likelihood  of  completion.  Accordingly,  for  U.S.  GAAP  financial  reporting
purposes,  the Company may be able to report  revenues  with  respect to certain
projects earlier than it would in accordance with Israeli GAAP.

         Most of the Company's  current real estate projects in Israel have been
awarded to the Company or to third party  contractors  for whom the Company acts
as subcontractor  through competitive bidding processes conducted by the Israeli
Government. The Company acts as a general contractor,  subcontracting all of its
construction   work  to  independent   subcontractors.   The  Company  typically
negotiates  an up-front  flat fee with each of its  subcontractors  prior to the
commencement of a project. Accordingly, the Company is then able to estimate the
gross profit,  before  operating  expenses,  to be derived from a given project,
subject to the  Company's  ability to complete the project on schedule or at the
anticipated  cost and, in certain cases, to sell the units at the estimated unit
sales  prices.   Further,  most  of  the  Company's  contracts  contain  penalty
provisions in the event of a delay in the  completion  of a particular  project.
Such penalty  provisions require the Company to pay various amounts according to
the extent of the delay.  Penalty payments may reduce or eliminate the Company's
projected  gross  profit  on a  particular  project  or  result  in a loss.  See
"Description  of  Business--Principal  Projects."  In addition,  the Company may
experience  variability  in  revenues  on a  quarterly  basis as a result of the
timing of completion  of new projects and the recording of revenues  anticipated
to be derived from such projects for financial reporting purposes.

         The Company presently maintains its accounts and presents its financial
statements in NIS. All NIS amounts reflect the historical  amounts  adjusted for
changes in the general purchasing power of the NIS as measured by changes in the
CPI and compiled in the manner  explained in Note 2(b) of Notes to  Consolidated
Financial  Statements.  For convenience  purposes,  the financial data presented
herein  for the  years  ended  December  31,  1996,  1997 and  1998,  have  been
translated into dollars using the  representative  exchange rate on December 31,
1998 of NIS 4.16 = $1.00, as published by the Bank of Israel.  See  "Description
of Business--Conditions in Israel--Economic Conditions."

Relationship With Engel:
-----------------------

         Approximately 14% of the Company's revenues for the year ended December
31, 1998 were derived from projects  awarded to Engel, for which the Company was
engaged by Engel to act as a general  contractor.  Moshe Schnapp,  the Company's
President and Chief Executive Officer,  is the former Chief Executive Officer of
Engel.  Yaron Yenni, a director of the Company and its Chief  Financial  Officer
and Secretary,  was a director of Engel until December 1997. As a result of this
relationship,  the Company was in a position to enter into agreements with Engel
under which the Company would act as general contractor for contracts awarded to
Engel.  Engel,  whose shares are publicly  traded on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange
and on The Nasdaq National Market,  is one of the major real estate  development
and construction companies in Israel.

         Although  the Company  intends to  continue to do business  with Engel,
subcontracting  for Engel does no longer comprise such a significant  portion of
the  Company's  revenue as it did in the past.  As  indicated by the most recent
projects  awarded  to  the  Company,  the  Company  believes  that  it  now  has
independent  capabilities  to qualify for project  awards.  See  "Description of
Business--Principal  Projects."  The Company  intends to continue  focusing  its
efforts on directly  contracting  for real-estate  development and  construction
projects,  and the Company  will seek to obtain such  projects by  participating
directly  in  the  competitive   bidding  processes  conducted  by  the  Israeli
Government.  However,  there  can be no  assurance  that  the  Company  will  be
successful in competing for future bids  independently  of Engel.  The Company's
failure to obtain such bids would adversely effect its financial results.


Results of Operations During the Year Ended December 31, 1998 Compared to Fiscal
Year Ended December 31, 1997:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         For the year ended December 31, 1998, the Company had total revenues of
approximately NIS 122.5 million ($29.5 million),  a decrease of NIS 12.5 million
($3.0  million),  or 9%,  compared to  approximately  NIS 135.0  million  ($32.5
million)  for the year  ended  December  31,  1997,  primarily  as a result of a
decrease  in  sales of real  estate.  Revenues  from  contracting  in 1998  were
approximately  NIS 91.2 million ($21.9  million),  a decrease of NIS 6.2 million
($1.5 million), or 6%, compared to NIS 97.4 million ($23.4 million) for the year
ended  December 31, 1997.  This decrease is primarily a result of the completion
of projects during 1998. The Company also had revenues of approximately NIS 25.4
million ($6.1 million) from the sale of real estate  development  rights and NIS
5.9 million ($1.4 million) from consulting activities.

           Total cost of revenues  amounted to  approximately  NIS 107.2 million
($25.8  million),  an  increase  of NIS 10.8  million  ($2.6  million),  or 11%,
compared to NIS 96.4 million  ($23.2  million)  for the year ended  December 31,
1997.  Gross profit,  as a percentage of total revenues,  decreased to 12.5% for
the year ended  December  31, 1998,  from 28.6% for the year ended  December 31,
1997,  primarily  as a result of an  increase in the cost of sale of real estate
rights.  Gross  profit  margins for  contracting  increased to 9.7% for the year
ended December 31, 1998, from 7.2% for the year ended December 31, 1997.

                                       25
<PAGE>

         Total operating expenses, including selling, general and administrative
expenses,  were  approximately NIS 9.6 million ($2.3 million) for the year ended
December  31, 1998,  an increase of NIS 1.9 million  ($0.5  million),  or 22.5%,
compared to NIS 7.7 million ($1.9 million) for the year ended December 31, 1997,
primarily as a result of an increase  the cost of vehicles  and of  professional
services.

         As  a  result  of  the  foregoing,   the  Company  had  net  income  of
approximately  NIS 2.6 million  ($0.7  million) for the year ended  December 31,
1998, a decrease of  approximately  NIS 22.6 million ($5.4 million),  or 89%, as
compared to NIS 25.2  million for the year ended  December 31, 1997 and earnings
per share of NIS 0.46  ($0.11) for the year ended  December 31, 1998, a decrease
of NIS 4.48 ($1.08) as compared to the year ended December 31, 1997.

          The differences  between U.S. GAAP and Israeli GAAP for the year ended
December  31,  1998  are  primarily  in  the  accounting  treatment  of  revenue
recognition and the presentation of severance  rights.  As a result,  under U.S.
GAAP the  Company  had a net  income  of  approximately  NIS 1.9  million  ($0.5
million)  and net  earnings  per share of NIS 0.36  ($0.09).  See Note 29 of the
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Results of Operations During the Year Ended December 31, 1997
Compared to Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 1996
-------------------------------------------------------------

          For the year ended  December 31, 1997,  the Company had total revenues
of NIS 135.1 million  ($32.5  million),  an increase of NIS 109.8 million ($26.4
million) compared to NIS 25.3 million ($6.1 million) for the year ended December
31,  1996,  primarily  as a result of  increased  development  and  construction
activities  and the  sale of  real  estate  development  rights.  Revenues  from
contracting  wre NIS 97.3  million  ($23.4  million),  an  increase  of NIS 72.0
million ($17.3  million)  compared to NIS 25.3 million ($6.1) for the year ended
December 31, 1996. This increase is primarily a result of the Company's  ability
to  qualify  to  participate  in  tenders   independently  and  its  ability  to
participate in more tenders in 1997, due to its increased  capital resources and
longer operating  history.  During the initial phases of its operations in 1996,
the Company was limited in its ability to participate in tenders  independently,
due to its limited operating  history and capital  resources.  Accordingly,  the
Company acted as general contractor for Engel and other larger contractors,  who
submitted  winning  bids in tenders in which the  Company  was not  eligible  to
participate,  and  shared  the  revenues  from  these  projects  with such other
contractors.  The Company also had revenues of NIS 14.7 million  ($3.5  million)
from the sale of real estate development rights, NIS 20.4 million ($4.9 million)
from the sale of real estate development rights to related parties,  and NIS 2.6
million ($0.6 million) from  consulting,  activities  from which the Company did
not derive any revenues for the year ended Decembe 31, 1996.

          Total costs of revenues  amounted to NIS 96.4 million ($23.2 million),
an increase of NIS 74.2  million  ($17.8  million)  compared to NIS 22.2 million
($5.3  million)  for the year  ended  December  31,  1996.  Gross  profit,  as a
percentage of total revenues, increased to 28.6% for the year ended December 31,
1997, from 12.2% for the year ended December 31, 1997,  primarily as a result of
sales of real estate  development  rights which  generate  higher profit margins
than contracting. Gross profit margins for contracting decreased to 7.2% for the
year ended  December 31, 1997,  from 12.2% for the year ended December 31, 1996,
primarily as a result of certain projects that generated relatively lower profit
margins in 1997.

          Total   operating   expenses,    including   selling,    general   and
administrative  expenses, were NIS 7.7 million ($1.9 million) for the year ended
December 31, 1997, an increase of NIS 5.3 million ($1.3 million) compared to NIS
2.4 million ($0.6 million) for the year ended December 31, 1996,  primarily as a
result of the cost of additional  rented office  space,  professional  and other
fees incurred in connection  with new operations  and start-up costs  associated
with foreign operations.

          As a result of the  foregoing,  the Company had net income of NIS 25.2
million ($6.1  million) for the year ended December 31, 1997, an increase of NIS
25.2 million ($6.0  million) as compared to the year ended December 31, 1996 and
earnings per share of NIS 4.9 ($1.2) for the year ended  December  31, 1997,  an
increase of NIS 4.9 ($1.2) as compared to the year ended December 31, 1996.

          The differences  between U.S. GAAP and Israeil GAAP for the year ended
December 31, 1997 are  primarily in the  accounting  treatment of the release of
Program Shares from the Deferrence Program. For U.S. GAAP purposes,  the release
of Program Shares held by officers,  directors and employees of the Company from
the  Deferrence  Program is deemed  compensatory,  resulting  in a  compensation
expense of NIS 30.6 million  ($7.4  million).  As a result,  under U.S. GAAP the
Company  had a net loss of NIS 5.2  million  ($1.2  million)  and a net loss per
share of NIS 1.0 million ($0.2 million).  See "--Charge to Income as a Result of
Release of Performance Shares from Deferrence Program."

Public Offering and Private Placements:
--------------------------------------

         In February 1997, the Company  completed its initial public offering of
2,300,000  units,  consisting of 2,300,000  Class A Ordinary  Shares,  2,300,000
redeemable Class A Warrants and 2,300,000 redeemable Class B Warrants. The gross
proceeds  amounted to $11,500,000  and the net proceeds after offering  expenses
amounted to approximately $9,500,000.


          In May 1999, the Company issued to a group of investors  850,000 Class
A Ordinary Shares for total  consideration of $850,000 which was the fair market
value of such shares on the date of  issuance.  In  addition,  in May 1999,  the
Company issued to a financial advisor,  which the Company retained in connection
with its contemplated  merger with ICC, 26,087 Class A Ordinary Shares,  as part
of such financial advisor's compensation.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:
-------------------------------

         The Company's  business is capital  intensive and requires  substantial
up-front   expenditures  for  land  development   contracts  and   construction.
Accordingly, the Company requires a substantial amount of cash on hand and lines
of credit from banks to conduct its  business.  The Company has to date financed
its  working  capital  needs  on  a  project-by-project  basis,  primarily  from
construction  loans from banks,  private  fundings of equity and debt,  with the
proceeds  of the  Offering  and  with  proceeds  from  the  sale of real  estate
development  rights.  At December 31, 1998,  the Company had working  deficit of
approximately NIS 50.6 million ($12.2 million) and retained earnings of NIS 26.6
million ($6.4 million).

          The  Company's  working  deficit  for  December  31,  1998  included a
revolving  short-term bank loan of NIS 42 million  received for the financing of
the Income-Producing  residential  property in Tel-Aviv.  Upon the occurrence of
certain conditions, including the completion of the renovation of such property,
such short-term loan will be converted to an equivalent  long-term  credit line.
See "Item 1 - Real Estate  Development and  Construction  Activities-Other  Real
Estate Activities - Acquisition and Development of Income-Producing  Residential
Properties" and "Item 2-Description of Property."

         The Company typically  finances  residential  projects through customer
deposits  and  construction  loans.  Under  its  existing  policy,  the  Company
generally  will not  commence  substantial  construction  of a  project  until a
substantial  portion of the units have been sold to  homebuyers  and the Company
has received  downpayments or complete payments from the unit purchasers (unless
the term of the bid  demands  otherwise).  Under  Israeli  law,  the  Company is
required to secure the payments  received from unit  purchasers  with guarantees
until the project is completed.  The banks will generally require the Company to
deposit with the bank, promptly upon receipt,  all such funds received from unit
purchasers, and the bank will then release such amounts to the Company from time
to time as are needed for the completion of the project,  in accordance with the
determination of a project supervisor appointed by the bank. The financing banks
generally  will also require a lien on all of the Company's  rights with respect
to a project.  Such bank  financing may cover only a specific  percentage of the
project  costs.  Accordingly,  the Company may be required to obtain  additional
funds to complete the project.

                                       26

<PAGE>

         The Company also obtains bank financing for its public works  projects.
For certain of these  projects,  the Company will receive  payments from time to
time over the course of project  completion from the entity  requisitioning  the
work. In such cases,  the Company is generally  required to deposit such amounts
with a bank which  provides the entity with a guarantee  for such amount.  Funds
are released from the bank as needed in accordance with the  determination  of a
bank supervisor.  In addition,  the bank may issue  construction loans necessary
for the completion of the project.  The bank will also require a general lien on
the Company's rights with respect to the project.

         The Israeli  Examiner of Banks has issued  directives that are intended
to limit the overall amount of credit  extended to  contractors  and real estate
developers  to up to 20% of all loans  issued by the bank.  This  directive  has
created  difficulties  for  developers,  such as the Company,  in obtaining bank
financing for real estate  projects.  The Company  believes that this limitation
requires  banks  to  carefully  select  developers  to whom  they  will  provide
financing.

         At December 31, 1998, the Company had  outstanding  indebtedness in the
aggregate  amount of  approximately  NIS 122.2 million ($29.4  million) which is
secured by the Company's  rights under its projects,  including all  receivables
relating  to  the  projects  and  the  Company's  right  in  the  land  and  all
improvements  thereon.  Such  outstanding  indebtedness  bears interest at rates
ranging  from the prime  rate  minus  4.9% to prime  rate  plus  0.7%  and,  for
indebtedness  which is linked to the U.S. dollar, at the rate of 6.8% per annum.
Substantially  all of the Company's  present  outstanding  indebtedness to banks
with respect to its  projects is  guaranteed  by Moshe  Schnapp,  the  Company's
President and Chief Executive Officer.

         In August  1995,  the  Company  entered  into an  agreement  with Engel
pursuant to which Engel was required to engage the Company as the  subcontractor
for each project it was awarded in connection with the Mifal Hapayis project, as
described under "Description of Business--Principal  Projects." In October 1996,
the  Company  modified  its  agreement  with Engel and  released  Engel from its
commitment to engage the Company as  subcontractor in each Mifal Hapayis project
awarded in the future to Engel.  In  consideration  for such release,  Engel was
required  to pay the  Company  approximately  NIS  326,000  ($78,000)  for  each
subsequent Mifal Happayis project entered into by Engel, in exchange for certain
limited   services  to  be  provided  by  the  Company.   See   "Description  of
Business--Principal  Projects"  and Note 25 of Notes to  Consolidated  Financial
Statements.


                                       27
<PAGE>

         In March 1998,  the Company  sold a 20% interest in its project for the
renovation of a group of apartment  buildings in Tel-Aviv to an unrelated  group
of investors, for total consideration of approximately $6 million.

          The  Company's  offices in Haifa are subject to a 15-year  mortgage in
the amount of approximately NIS 386,000  ($93,000).  The mortgage bears interest
at the rate of 5.5% and is linked to adjustments in accordance  with the CPI. In
December  1996,  the Company  leased  additional  office space in a  neighboring
building in Haifa, for a term of five years commencing January 1997, for monthly
payments of NIS 2,000 ($500).  In addition,  the Company has leased office space
in Rehovot,  for the purpose of having close  supervision  over its  residential
project   located   there  (see  "Item  1--Real   Estate   Projects--Residential
Projects").  The  term of such  lease is for 12  months  with an  option  for 60
additional  months,  commencing  December 1998. The monthly  payments under this
lease  are  $500.  The  Company's  U.S.  subsidiary,   Genesis  Development  and
Construction, Inc., has leased office space in New City, New York. This lease is
renewed on a monthly  basis.  The Company is  committed  to monthly  payments of
$1,500 under this lease.

         The  Company is  required  to  provide  certain  amounts as  collateral
security to the Ministry of the Interior as a condition to employment of foreign
workers. A Portion of said collateral was provided by a third party that handles
all procedures related to the foreign workers on behalf of the Company.

         The  Company  from time to time  provides  guarantees  on behalf of and
loans to third  parties in  connection  with  borrowings  relating  to  projects
undertaken  by such third  parties,  for which the Company will be entitled to a
fee. At December  31,  1998,  the Company had  outstanding  guarantees  to third
parties in the aggregate principal amount of approximately NIS 44.3 million ($11
million).


Charge to Income as a Result of Release of Performance
Shares from Deference Program:
------------------------------------------------------

         In the year ended  December 31, 1997 the Company  attained the earnings
thresholds  required for the release of all of the  Performance  Shares from the
Deference  Program.  The release of Performance Shares held by Company officers,
directors,  employees  or  consultants  is  treated,  for  U.S.  GAAP  financial
reporting purposes, as a compensation expense of the Company.  Accordingly,  the
Company did not  recognize  any a non-cash  charge to earnings in its U.S.  GAAP
reconciliation for the year ended December 31, 1998.

                                       28

Impact of Inflation and Devaluation on Results of Operations; Impact on Monetary
Assets and Liabilities:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         For many years prior to 1986, the Israeli economy was  characterized by
high rates of inflation  and  devaluation  of the Israeli  currency  against the
dollar and other  currencies.  However,  since the  institution  of the  Israeli
Economic Program in 1985,  inflation,  while continuing,  has been significantly
reduced and the rate of devaluation has been substantially  diminished.  For the
calendar  years 1996,  1997 and 1998 the annual rate of  inflation in Israel was
approximately  10.6%,  7% and 8.6%,  respectively.  The  Company's  expenses are
primarily incurred in Israeli currency.  Because governmental policies in Israel
linked exchange rates to a weighted basket of foreign  currencies,  the exchange
rate  between the NIS and the dollar has  remained  more stable in recent  years
than in prior years,  except for an approximately 8.0% devaluation of the NIS in
the  fourth  quarter of 1998.  In 1998 the Bank of Israel  adopted  measures  to
liberalize  foreign  currency  regulations.  See  "Exchange  Controls  and Other
Limitations Affecting Security Holders."

         Substantially  all of the  Company's  contracts for the purchase of raw
materials  and for  construction  are linked to the Israeli  Building Cost Index
("BCI").  The BCI is an index which  reflects the costs of raw  materials in the
building  industry,  and the changes in such index reflect the  fluctuations  of
such costs.  The  Company's  agreements  to pay  subcontractors  as well as most
arrangements  providing for payments to the company are also generally linked to
the BCI.  Accordingly,  an increase in the rate of inflation in Israel would not
significantly  affect the Company's financial results. To the extent the Company
enters into  agreements  for  payments  by or to the  Company  which are instead
linked  to the CPI,  the  difference  in  fluctuations  of the two  indexes  may
adversely affect the Company's financial results.


Seasonality:
-----------

         As a result of various factors, including reduced work hours, vacations
and travel  abroad,  Israel  experiences  a  traditional  slow down of  business
activities  during the summer  months and a  recurring  decrease  in real estate
activities. In addition, the BCI is usually higher during the summer months than
the rest of the  year.  This  decrease  in real  estate  activity  is  generally
corrected by an increase in activity in the autumn and winter months.

                                       29

Year 2000:
----------

         The Company is aware of its  obligation  to ensure that its  operations
(including the operations of its subsidiaries) will not be adversely affected as
a result of the anticipated Year 2000 computer problems,  which may be caused by
the use of date-sensitive programs that utilize only two digits to represent the
year.

          The Company has  completed a review of the Year 2000  preparedness  of
its internal information  technology systems, such as its accounting and billing
systems. As a result of the nature of the Company's activities,  its exposure to
the Year 2000 issue is limited  solely to internal  information  systems used in
the  Company's  operations.   The  Company  has  also  obtained  certifications,
concerning the Year 2000 readiness of critical  computerized  systems  affecting
the Company's operations, from the vendors of such systems.

          To date, no material  problems in the Company's  computerized  systems
have  been  detected.  Any  of  the  Company's  computerized  systems  requiring
adjustment  in  preparation  for Year  2000 can be  adjusted  without  incurring
material  additional cost. Taking the  aforementioned  into  consideration,  the
Company  has not yet  developed  a  contingency  plan for the  possible  adverse
effects of the Year 2000 issue on its internal systems. If the Company is forced
to change all of its information  technology  systems,  hardware and software in
order to achieve Year 2000 readiness,  management  estimates that the total cost
will not exceed $________.  The above notwithstanding,  it is not possible to be
certain  that the Year  2000  issue  will not have an  effect  on the  Company's
information technology systems.

         The  Chief  Financial   Officer  of  the  Company  is  responsible  for
addressing year 2000 issues. As substantially all of the Company's  subsidiaries
use the Company's  facilities and information  technology  systems,  the Company
does not foresee any material year 2000 problems in any of its subsidiaries.

         There can be no  assurance  that the  computer  systems of  third-party
service providers which affect the Company's operations,  including those of the
Israel Electric  Corporation,  the banks and the telephone company, will be Year
2000 compliant.


ITEM 9.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
-------------------------------------------------------------------

         The Company is routinely  exposed to market risk,  primarily changes in
interest rates,  inflation rates and  fluctuations in the NIS/US Dollar exchange
rates,  which may  adversely  affect its  results of  operations  and  financial
condition.  The  Company  seeks to  minimize  these  risks  through  its regular
operating  and financing  activities.  From time to time,  the Company  utilizes
derivative  financial  instruments  to reduce its exposure to  financial  market
risks. These instruments are used to hedge foreign currency, equity and interest
rate market  exposures  relating to  underlying  assets,  liabilities  and other
obligations.  The Company  does not use  derivative  financial  instruments  for
speculative or trading  purposes.  The Company's  accounting  policies for these
instruments  are  based on the  Company's  designation  of such  instruments  as
hedging  transactions.   The  criteria  the  Company  uses  for  designating  an
instrument as a hedge include its effectiveness in risk reduction and one-to-one
matching of derivative  instruments to underlying  transactions.  See Note 2o of
the Consolidated Financial Statements.

                                       30

<PAGE>

          The Company is exposed to potential credit related losses in the event
of default by other parties to certain  financial  instruments,  but it does not
expect any such defaults,  since all such parties have  investment  grade credit
ratings.

         As the  Company's  financial  statements  are  prepared  in NIS  and in
accordance  with Israeli  GAAP,  with a convenience  translation  to US Dollars,
Exchange rate fluctuations and large periodic  devaluation have an impact on the
US Dollar equivalent and period-to-period comparisons of the Company's financial
results.  A  devaluation  of the NIS in  relation to the US Dollar will have the
effect of decreasing the dollar value of any assets of the Company which consist
of NIS or receivables  payable in NIS (unless such receivables are linked to the
US Dollar).  Such a  devaluation  would also have the effect of reducing  the US
Dollar amount of any liabilities of the Company which are payable in NIS (unless
such  payables  are linked to the US Dollar).  Conversely,  any  increase in the
value  of the  NIS in  relation  to the US  Dollar  would  have  the  effect  of
increasing the US Dollar value of any unlinked NIS assets of the Company and the
US Dollar  value of any  unlinked  NIS  liabilities  of the  Company.  See "Item
1--Description of Business--Conditions in Israel--Economic Conditions" and "Item
9--Management's  Discussion  and Analysis of Financial  Condition and Results of
Operations--Impact of Inflation and Devaluation on Results of Operations."

         When the rate of inflation  exceeds the rate of  devaluation of the NIS
as compared to the US Dollar,  the US Dollar value of the Company's revenues and
expenses are  increased by an amount  determined by the amount by which the rate
of inflation  exceeds the rate of  devaluation  of the NIS as compared to the US
Dollar.  During years when the rate of devaluation of the NIS as compared to the
US Dollar exceeds the rate of inflation the opposite influence occurs.

          The  Company's  expenses and revenues are  primarily  incurred in NIS.
Some of the Company's  contracts  from which  revenues are derived are linked to
the CPI. Most of the Company's  construction  related  liabilities  as well as a
portion of the Company's accounts receivable are generally linked to the Israeli
Building  Cost Index (the "BCI").  The  difference  in  fluctuations  of the two
indexes may materially  adversely  affect the Company's  financial  results.  In
addition,  yearly increases in the US Dollar value of the items used to describe
the results of  operations  of the Company  that are derived from CPI linked (or
BCI  linked)  contracts  affect  year to year  comparisons.  To the  extent  the
Company's cash and cash equivalents exceed its short-term funding  requirements,
the  Company  may invest its excess  cash and cash  equivalents  in  longer-term
high-quality financial instruments.  Such investments,  if made, will be subject
to changes in interest rates.

         For the different  linkage terms of the Company's  monetary balances on
December 31, 1998, as compared to December 31, 1997, see Note 24 of the Notes to
the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Alternate Directors:
-------------------

         The  Company's  Articles of  Association  provide that any director may
appoint,  by  written  notice  to the  Company,  another  director  or any other

for a specified  period of time. Such other director or individual may act as an
alternate  director,  and the same person may act as the  alternate  for several
directors,  and have a  corresponding  number of votes.  Any alternate  director
possesses  all of the power and  authority  of the  director  or  directors  who
appointed  such  alternate,  subject  to the  provisions  of the  instrument  of
appointment. Under a new Companies Law, which will replace the Israeli Companies
Ordinance  on February 1, 2000,  a person  already  serving as a director of the
Company  may not act as an  alternate  director,  nor may one  person  act as an
alternate director for more than one director of the Company.

Independent Directors; Approval of Certain Transactions; Audit Committee:
------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Pursuant to the listing requirements of the Nasdaq National Market, the
Company  has  appointed  two  independent  directors  and  established  an audit
committee comprised of three directors, including both independent directors.

         Under the Companies Ordinance, Publicly Held companies (as such term is
defined  therein)  are  required to appoint at least two public  directors  (the
"Public Directors") who have been approved by a statutory  committee  consisting
of the Chairman of the ISA, the  Chairman of the Tel-Aviv  Stock  Exchange and a
member of the Israeli  judiciary  who acts as a chairman of the  committee  (the
"Committee").   The  Companies  Ordinance  details  certain  standards  for  the
independence  of the Public  Directors.  These  directors  must be  residents of
Israel  and  unaffiliated  with  the  company,   its  principals  or  affiliated
companies.

         According  to the  Companies  Ordinance,  a company that is required to
nominate Public Directors must also appoint an audit committee,  comprised of at
least three  directors,  and including all of the Public  Directors  (the "Audit
Committee"),  as well as an internal controller (in accordance with the proposal
of the  Audit  Committee).  The role of the  internal  controller,  among  other
things,  is to examine whether the Company's actions comply with applicable law,
proper conduct and orderly business procedures.

         The  District  Court of Tel  Aviv,  Israel,  had ruled  that  companies
registered under the laws of Israel whose shares were offered to the public only
outside  of  Israel  were  nevertheless   required  to  comply  with  the  above
requirements  pursuant to the Company's  Ordinance.  An appeal was  subsequently
filed with the Supreme Court and,  pursuant to an agreement between the parties,
the Supreme  Court  overturned  the District  Court  decision in February  1997.
However,  the Supreme Court expressed no opinion regarding the subject matter of
the appeal,  and  therefore,  it is unclear  whether a court  would  require the
Company to appoint "public directors."

         The new Companies Law, which will become effective on February 1, 2000,
unequivocally  requires the Company to appoint two  independent  directors,  who
must be  residents  of  Israel  having  no  affiliation  with the  Company,  its
principals or controlling  shareholders for a period of at least two years. Such
independent  directors  will be appointed  by a special  majority of the general
meeting,  for a period of three  years  and may be  extended  for an  additional
period of three years.  The Companies Law also  requires the  appointment  of an
audit  committee,  comprised  of at least  three  directors  and  including  all
independent directors, as well as an internal auditor.

ITEM 11.  COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
-------   --------------------------------------

          During 1998, the Company paid  compensation in an aggregate  amount of
NIS 1,867,000  ($448,798)  to all of its  directors  and officers.  See "Certain
Transactions."

          Under  current  Company  policy,  directors  who are  employees of the
Company  receive no  compensation  for  serving on the Board,  and  non-employee
directors  residing in Israel receive only de minimus  compensation  pursuant to
the minimum  prescribed by Israeli law. Each  non-employee  director residing in
the United States receives $500 plus reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses for
each Board meeting in which he participates.  In addition, subject to compliance
with the Companies  Ordinance,  non-employee  directors  are not precluded  from
serving the Company in any other capacity and receiving  compensation  therefor.
As  directors  are not eligible to  participate  in the  Company's  share option
plans, it is the policy of the Company that each non-employee  director residing
in the United States  receives  each year as an annual  retainer fee a five-year
option to  purchase up to 7,500  Class A Ordinary  Shares at an  exercise  price
equal to the fair market value  thereof on the date of grant.  As of the date of
this  report,  each of Messrs.  Aran and  Strauss  has  received  an option,  to
purchase  22,500 Class A Ordinary Shares  exercisable as follows:  7,500 options
expire  on  February  22,  2002 and are  exercisable  for $5 per  share , 15,000
options expire on November 9, 2002 and are exercisable for $4.25 per share,  and
the remaining  15,000  options expire on June 23, 2004 and are  exercisable  for
$5.25 per share.

         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). The
payments  thereto  amount  to  approximately  8.3%  of  wages  paid  during  the
employment period. 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.  Since January 1, 1995, such
amounts also include payments for national health insurance. The payments to the
National  Insurance  Institute are approximately 12% of wages (up to a specified
amount),  a portion of which are contributed by the Company  pursuant to Israeli
law requirements.

         A general  practice  followed  by the  Company,  although  not  legally
required,  is the contribution of funds on behalf of certain of its 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.  The Company decides whether
each  employee is entitled to  participate  in the plan,  and each  employee who
agrees  to  participate  contributes  an amount  equal to 5% of such  employee's
salary and the Company  contributes  between  13.3% and 15.8% of the  employee's
salary.


Employment Agreement:
--------------------

          The Company has entered into a three-year  employment  agreement  with
its President,  Moshe Schnapp, which expires on December 31, 1999. The agreement
provides for an annual base salary of $200,000,  plus a $50,000 bonus during any
year in which the Company  attains the minimum target for release of Performance
Shares   from  the   Deference   Program   for  such  year.   See   "Control  of
Registrant--Performance Shares." Mr. Schnapp's compensation may not be increased
during the initial  three-year term without the consent of the Underwriter.  The
agreement contains customary confidentiality and non-compete provisions.

                                     35

<PAGE>

         In December 1998 the Company entered into an employment  agreement with
its  Chairman  of the Board,  Eli Aran,  effective  as of  January 1, 1999,  and
expiring on December 31, 2003. The agreement  provides for an annual base salary
of $350,000.  The agreement contains customary  confidentiality  and non-compete
provisions.  If there is a change in the control of the  Company,  as defined in
the agreement, and Mr. Aran's employment is subsequently terminated,  he will be
entitled,  among  other  things,  to the  greater  of the  payments  due for the
remaining  term of the  agreement  or three  times his annual  compensation.  In
addition,  Mr.  Aran was  granted  options  to and  options  to  purchase  up to
1,200,000 Class B Ordinary Shares at an exercise price of $2.875 per share.



ITEM 12.  OPTIONS TO PURCHASE SECURITIES FROM REGISTRANT OR SUBSIDIARIES
-------   --------------------------------------------------------------

         In November  1996,  the Board of Directors  of the Company  adopted the
Schnapp Equity  Limited Share Option Plan (the "First Option Plan")  pursuant to
which  300,000  Class A Ordinary  Shares were  reserved  for  issuance  upon the
exercise of options  granted to employees of the Company.  In November 1997, the
shareholders of the Company approved the adoption of the Genesis Development and
Construction  Ltd.  Employee  Share Option Plan (the "Second  Share Option Plan"
and,  together  with the First Share Option  Plan,  collectively  the  "Employee
Option Plans"),  pursuant to which 400,000 Class A Ordinary Shares were reserved
for issuance  upon the exercise of options  granted to employees of the Company.
In December 1998 the Company adopted the Genesis  Development  and  Construction
Ltd. General Managers Option Plan (the "General Managers Option Plan"), pursuant
to which  1,000,000  Class A Ordinary Shares were reserved for issuance upon the
exercise  of  options  granted  to  general  managers  of  the  Company  or  its
subsidiaries.  All options  granted  under these option plans have expired after
none of them were exercised,  and all of them are currently  reserved for future
grant.

         Options to  purchase  up to 45,000  Class A Ordinary  Shares  have been
granted   other   than   pursuant   to   the   Employee    Option   Plans,    to
non-executive directors and officers of the Company. See "Item  11--Compensation
of Directors and Officers."

          In May  1999 the  Company  entered  into an  agreement  with  Rodman &
Renshaw,  Inc. ("Rodman") for financial advisory services in connection with the
Company's  proposed merger with ICC (See Item  1B-Description of Business-Merger
with Cable  Internet  Corporation"),  pursuant  to which  Rodman  will be issued
34,783  Class A  Ordinary  Shares  upon the  occurrence  of certain  events,  in
addition  to 26,087  Class A Ordinary  Shares  issued to Rodman in May 1999.  In
addition,  in June 1999 the Company  entered into an agreement with an unrelated
company registered in Liberia,  which initiated the merger  transaction  between
the Company and ICC,  pursuant to which 200,000 Class A Ordinary  Shares will be
issued to such Liberian company upon consummation of the merger.


ITEM 13.  INTEREST OF MANAGEMENT IN CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
-------   ----------------------------------------------

         During the initial phases of the Company's  operations,  Moshe Schnapp,
the Company's  President,  provided personal  guarantees to secure the Company's
obligations  to banks for  construction  loans and  guarantees  provided by such
banks  with  respect  to  projects.  At  December  31,  1998,  the  Company  had
outstanding indebtedness in the amount of approximately NIS 1,846,008 ($443,752)
which was  guaranteed by Mr.  Schnapp.  Mr. Schnapp has also provided a personal
guarantee with respect to the mortgage on the Company's executive offices in the
amount of NIS 346,647  ($83,328).  See "Management's  Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources."

          In September 1997, the Company sold a 50% interest in Stipula,  one of
the Company's Dutch subsidiary  through which the Company holds its interests in
its  Rassnitz  and  Moscow  construction  projects,  to  Shay  Bar  Real  Estate
Investments  Ltd.("Shay  Bar").  Yaron Yenni,  a director of the Company and its
Chief  Financial  Officer  and  Secretary,  has served as a director of Shay Bar
since August 1997 and is the owner of 17.76% of its  outstanding  share capital.
His father, David Yenni, is chairman and the chief executive officer of Shay Bar
and is the owner of 17.20% of its outstanding capital.  Shay Bar paid $2,550,000
for its interest,  of which $1,800,000 was paid in September 1997,  $750,000 was
paid in April 1998 and the  balance of $750,000 is due in  September  1999.  See
Note 27d of Notes to Consolidated  Financial Statements.  David Yenni has served
as an independent consultant to Stipula from August 1994 until December 1996.

                                       36

<PAGE>

         In June 1997,  the Company  agreed to sell a 54.9% limited  partnership
interest in its Rehovot construction project to a group of individual investors,
which  included  the  Company's  Chairman,  Eli Aran.  Mr. Aran  acquired a 3.2%
indirect interest in the project for total  consideration of $350,000.  Mr. Aran
paid $58,334 and delivered a promissory note in the principal amount of $175,000
on October 14, 1997 and paid the balance of $116,666 on December 31,  1997.  The
promissory  note  bears  interest  at an annual  rate of 8.5% and is  payable on
December 31, 2003. See Note 27c of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

         The  Company  is owed  monies  by its  President  and  Chief  Executive
Officer, Moshe Schnaap. These amounts are linked to the CPI and bear interest at
the rate of 2% per annum. As of December 31, 1998 the amount owed by Mr. Schnaap
was  approximately  NIS 1.1 million,  of which NIS 0.32 million was paid in June
1999 and the balance will be by December 1999.

         In November 1996, Gary J. Strauss, a director of the Company, purchased
$50,000  principal  amount of Bridge Notes and 25,000 bridge  warrants  ("Bridge
Warrants") in the Company's  November 1996 private  placement.  The Bridge Notes
were repaid in full with the proceeds of the Offering,  and the Bridge  Warrants
were  exchanged  on the  closing  of the  Offering  for an equal  number  of the
Company's redeemable Class A Warrants.

         See "Options to Purchase  Securities from  Registrant or  Subsidiaries"
and  "Compensation  of  Directors  and  Officers--Employment  Agreement"  for  a
discussion  of the  options  granted  to the  Company's  non-employee  directors
residing in the United States and the employment  agreements between the Company
and Moshe Schnapp and Eli Aran.

          The  Company  received an option  from its  controlling  shareholders,
Messrs. Eli Aran and Moshe Schnapp, to participate in the purchase of one of the
largest energy holding companies in Israel,  pursuant to a winning bid submitted
by such  shareholders  in a tender for the  acquisition  of such energy  holding
company. The transaction was not consummated due to a default on the part of the
bank that had agreed to finance a portion of the purchase  price.  Consequently,
Messrs.  Aran and Schnaap,  together with the Company,  filed a law suit against
such bank. See "Item 3-Legal  Proceedings."  In June 1999, the Company  notified
Messrs.  Aran  and  Schnaap  that it does  not  wish  to bear  any of the  costs
associated with these legal proceedings, and therefore the claimants agreed that
the  Company  will not bear any such costs but will be entitled to 5% of the net
amounts, if any, recovered by the claimants in these proceedings.

          In March 1999,  the  Company  extended to Shay Bar a five year loan of
$3,000,000  bearing  interest  at the  Libor  rate.  The  loan is  secured  by a
guarantee  of  Shay  Bar's  foreign  subsidiary,  secured  by a  lien  on 50% of
Stipula's outstanding shares, which are held by a subsidiary of Shay Bar. If the
Company  exercises its right to demand the immediate  repayment of loan prior to
its maturity  date,  it will have the right to convert the repayment of the loan
to  shares  of Shay  Bar at a price of $1 per  share.  A  charge  on Shay  Bar's
registered and not-issued  share capital was registered in the Company's name to
secure such issuance.  Under certain conditions,  the loan agreement allows Shay
Bar to repay the loan by  transferring  its 50% interest in Stipula's  shares to
the  Company.  Yaron  Yenni,  a director of the Company and its Chief  Financial
Officer,  hold over 17% of Shay Bar's shares,  is a director of Shay Bar and the
son of its  Chairman of the Board.  See "Item  10-Directors  and Officers of the
Registrant."

         In June 1999, Shay Bar engaged the Company to perform  construction and
renovation  work on a  building  in Rishon  Lezion.  The  Company  was paid $3.9
million for these  services and as finder's  fees, as well as for consulting and
financial  management services regarding this project. See "Item 1A--Real Estate
Development and Construction Business--Real Estate Projects--Pending Projects."
