D.   Risk Factors.

         Our business, results of operations and financial condition could be
seriously harmed due to any of the following risks, among others. If we do not
successfully address the risks to which we are subject, our business, results of
operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected and
our share price may decline.

Risks Related to Our Business

Our revenues depend on government procurement procedures and practices. A
substantial decrease in our customers' budgets would affect adversely our
results of operations.

         Our products are primarily sold to governmental agencies, governmental
authorities and government-owned companies, many of which have complex and
time-consuming procurement procedures. A substantial period of time often
elapses from the time we begin marketing a product until we actually sell that
product to a particular customer. In addition, our sales to governmental
agencies, authorities and companies are directly affected by these customers'
budgetary constraints and the priority given in their budgets to the procurement
of our products. A substantial decrease in our governmental customers' budgets
would adversely affect our results of operations.

We depend on large orders from a relatively small number of customers for
substantial portions of our revenues. As a result, our revenues and operations
results may vary from quarter to quarter.

         As we receive large orders from a relatively small number of customers,
our revenues and operating results are subject to substantial periodic
variations. Individual orders from customers can

                                       2



<PAGE>


represent a substantial portion of our revenues in any one period and
significant orders by any customer during one period may not be followed by
further orders from the same customer in subsequent periods. Our revenues and
operating results for a specific quarter may not be indicative of our future
performance, making it difficult for investors to evaluate our future prospects
based on the results of any quarter. In addition, we have a limited order
backlog, which makes revenues in any quarter substantially dependent upon orders
we deliver in that quarter.

Our revenues and operating results are subject to very substantial variations,
including, among other things, because the loss of one or more of our key
customers, in particular the Israeli Ministry of Defense, would result in a loss
of a significant amount of our revenues.

         Relatively few customers account for a large percentage of our
revenues. For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, revenues
generated from sales to the Israeli Ministry of Defense, or MOD, accounted for
15.9%, 27.2% and 7.7% respectively, of our revenues.

         The loss of MOD without replacement by a customer or customers of
similar volume would have a material adverse effect on our financial results.

         Our quarterly performance may vary significantly. Consequently, the
results of our operations for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the
results that we might achieve for any subsequent period. Consequently,
quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our operating results may not be meaningful.

In the future, the level of our contracts may be reduced due to changes in
governmental priorities and audits.

         Governmental purchases of our systems, products and services may
decline in the future as the governmental purchasing agencies may terminate,
reduce or modify contracts or subcontracts if:

          o    their requirements or budgetary constraints change;

          o    they cancel  multi-year  contracts  and  related  orders if funds
               become unavailable;

          o    they shift  spending  priorities  into  other  areas or for other
               products; and

          o    they adjust contract costs and fees on the basis of audits.

         Any such event may have a material adverse affect on us.

If we do not receive MOD approvals necessary for us to export the products we
produce in Israel, our revenues may decrease.

         Under Israeli law, the export of products that we manufacture in Israel
and the export of certain of our know-how are subject to approval by the MOD. We
must obtain permits from the MOD to initiate sales proposals with regard to
these exports, as well as for actual export transactions. We cannot assure you
that we will receive all the required permits for which we may apply in the
future. If we do not receive the required permits for which we apply, our
revenues may decrease.

We can give no assurance that our wholly-owned subsidiary, Smart Interactive
Systems, Inc., will be successful in the future. If Smart is unsuccessful, our
future results of operations may be adversely affected.

         In 2001, we established Smart Interactive Systems, Inc., or Smart, to
meet the growing demand for real-time video monitoring services for use in
industrial sites, commercial businesses and VIP residences. We have invested
$12.5 million in Smart through December 31, 2004. Its operations to date have
not been profitable and it has an accumulated deficit of $6.1 million as of
December 31, 2004. Smart's success will depend upon its ability to penetrate the
market for these services. If Smart is unable to market its services or if its
services fail to penetrate the market, we may lose our investment in this
company and our future results of operations may be adversely affected.

The market for our products is characterized by changing technology,
requirements, standards and products, and we may be adversely affected if we do
not respond promptly and effectively to these changes.

         The market for our products is characterized by evolving technologies,
changing industry standards, changing regulatory environments, frequent new
product introductions and rapid changes in customer requirements. The
introduction of products embodying new technologies and the emergence of new
industry standards and practices can render existing products obsolete and
unmarketable. Our future success will depend on our ability to enhance our
existing products and to develop and introduce, on a timely and cost-effective
basis, new products and product features that keep pace with technological
developments and emerging industry standards and address the increasingly
sophisticated needs of our customers.

         We cannot assure you that:

          o    we will be successful in developing and marketing new products or
               product features that respond to technological change or evolving
               industry standards;

          o    we will not experience  difficulties  that could delay or prevent
               the successful  development,  introduction and marketing of these
               new products and features; or

          o    our new products and product  features will  adequately  meet the
               requirements of the marketplace and achieve market acceptance.

         If we are unable to respond promptly and effectively to changing
technology we will be unable to compete effectively in the future.

We face risks associated with doing business in international markets.

         We make a large portion of our sales in markets outside of Israel (83%
in 2004 and 65% in 2003), and a key component of our strategy is to continue to
expand in such markets, the most significant of which currently are North
America, Europe, and Asia. Our international sales efforts are affected by costs
associated with the shipping of our products and risks inherent in doing
business in international markets, including:

          o    unexpected changes in regulatory requirements;

          o    currency fluctuations;

          o    export restrictions, tariffs and other trade barriers;

                                        4



<PAGE>


          o    unexpected   difficulties   in  staffing  and  managing   foreign
               operations;

          o    longer payment cycles;

          o    difficulties in collecting accounts receivable;

          o    political instability; and

          o    seasonal reductions in business activities.

One or more of such factors may have a material adverse effect on us.

We are engaged in a highly competitive business. If we are unable to compete
effectively, our revenues and income will be materially and adversely affected.

         The business in which we are engaged is highly competitive. Some of our
competitors and potential competitors have greater research and development,
financial and personnel resources, including governmental support, or more
extensive business experience than we do. If we are unable to compete
effectively in the market for our products, our revenues and income will be
materially and adversely affected.

We may be adversely affected by long sales cycles.

         We have in the past and expect in the future to experience long time
periods between initial sales contacts and the execution of formal contracts for
our products and completion of product installations. The cycle from first
contact to revenue generation in our business involves, among other things,
selling the concept of our technology and products, developing and implementing
a pilot program to demonstrate the capabilities and accuracy of our products,
negotiating prices and other contract terms; and, finally, installing and
implementing our products on a full-scale basis. This cycle entails a
substantial period of time, sometimes as much as one or more years, and the lack
of revenues during this cycle and the expenses involved in bringing new sales to
the point of revenue generation may put a substantial strain on our resources.

We may not be able to implement our growth strategy.

         As part of our growth strategy, we seek to acquire or invest in
complementary, including competitive, businesses, products and technologies.
Although we have identified potential acquisition candidates, we currently have
no commitments or agreements with respect to any such acquisitions or
investments and we cannot assure you that we will eventually be able to
consummate any acquisition or investment. Even if we do acquire or invest in
these businesses, products or technology, the process of integrating acquired
assets into our operations may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and
expenditures and may absorb significant management attention that would
otherwise be available for the ongoing development of our business.

         In addition, we have limited experience in making acquisitions and
managing growth. We cannot assure you that we will realize the anticipated
benefits of any acquisition. In addition, future acquisitions by us could result
in potentially dilutive issuances of our equity securities, the incurrence of
debt and contingent liabilities and amortization expenses related to
identifiable intangible assets, any of which could materially adversely affect
our operating results and financial position. Acquisitions also involve other
risks, including risks inherent in entering markets in which we have no or
limited prior experience and the potential loss of key employees and the risk
that we may experience difficulty or delays in obtaining necessary permits.

                                        5

<PAGE>




We may not be successful in marketing and developing markets for our new
products.

         As part of our growth strategy, we developed three new products,
DreamBox, Fortis and PipeGuard We intend to invest substantial funds in the
marketing and sales of these products. We cannot assure you that our marketing
and sale efforts will be successful, in which case our growth strategy will be
harmed.

We may not be able to protect our proprietary technology and unauthorized use of
our proprietary technology by third parties may impair our ability to compete
effectively.

         Our success and ability to compete depend in large part upon protecting
our proprietary technology. We have approximately 45 patents and have patent
applications pending. We also rely on a combination of trade secret and
copyright law and confidentiality, non-disclosure and assignment-of-inventions
agreements to protect our proprietary technology. It is our policy to protect
our proprietary rights in our products and operations through contractual
obligations, including confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements with
certain employees, distributors and agents, suppliers and subcontractors. These
measures may not be adequate to protect our technology from third-party
infringement, and our competitors may independently develop technologies that
are substantially equivalent or superior to ours. Additionally, our products may
be sold in foreign countries that provide less protection to intellectual
property than that provided under U.S. or Israeli laws.

We could become subject to litigation regarding intellectual property rights,
which could seriously harm our business.

         Third parties may in the future assert against us infringement claims
or claims asserting that we have violated a patent or infringed upon a
copyright, trademark or other proprietary right belonging to them.

         In addition, we purchase components for our turnkey products from
independent suppliers. Certain of these components contain proprietary
intellectual property of these independent suppliers. Third parties may in the
future assert claims against our suppliers that such suppliers have violated a
patent or infringed upon a copyright, trademark or other proprietary right
belonging to them. If such infringement by our suppliers or us were found to
exist, a party could seek an injunction preventing the use of their intellectual
property. In addition, if an infringement by us were found to exist, we may
attempt to acquire a license or right to use such technology or intellectual
property. Any infringement claim, even if not meritorious, could result in the
expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources.

We depend on limited sources for components and if we are unable to obtain these
components when needed, we will experience delays in manufacturing our products
and our financial results may be adversely affected.

         We acquire most of the components utilized in our products, including,
but not limited to, our turnkey products and certain services from a limited
number of suppliers and subcontractors. We cannot assure you that we will
continue to be able to obtain such items from these suppliers and subcontractors
on satisfactory terms. Temporary disruptions of our manufacturing operations
would result if we were required to obtain materials from alternative sources,
which may have an adverse effect on our financial results. For example, our
subsidiary Senstar-Stellar Corporation, or Senstar, obtains triboelectric sensor
cable for its Intelli-FLEX product from a sole supplier. If this sole supplier
were to discontinue production of the triboelectric sensor cable, it would
adversely affect revenues of Senstar's Intelli-FLEX product.

Undetected defects in our products may increase our costs and impair the market
acceptance of our products.

         The development, enhancement and implementation of our complex systems
entail substantial risks of product defects or failures. We cannot assure you
that, despite testing by us and our customers, errors will not be found in
existing or new products, resulting in delay or loss of revenues, warranty
expense, loss of market share or failure to achieve market acceptance, or
otherwise adversely affecting our business, financial condition and results of
operations. Moreover, the complexities involved in implementing our systems
entail additional risks of performance failures. We cannot assure you that we
will not encounter substantial delays or other difficulties due to such
complexities. Any such occurrence could have a material adverse effect upon our
business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the
potential harm to our reputation that may result from product defects or
implementation errors could be damaging to us.

We depend on our senior management and key personnel, particularly Jacob
Even-Ezra, our chairman and chief executive officer, and Izhar Dekel, our
president, the loss of whom would negatively affect our business.

         Our future success depends in large part on the continued services of
our senior management and key personnel. In particular, we depend on the
services of Jacob Even-Ezra, our chairman and chief executive officer, and Izhar
Dekel, our president. We carry key person life insurance for Jacob Even-Ezra and
for Izhar Dekel. Any loss of the services of Jacob Even-Ezra, Izhar Dekel, other
members of senior management or other key personnel would negatively affect our
business.

Our failure to retain and attract personnel could harm our business, operations
and product development efforts.

         Our products require sophisticated research and development, marketing
and sales and technical customer support. Our success depends on our ability to
attract, train and retain qualified research and development, marketing and
sales and technical customer support personnel. Competition for personnel in all
of these areas is intense and we may not be able to hire sufficient personnel to
achieve our goals or support the anticipated growth in our business. If we fail
to attract and retain qualified personnel, our business, operations and product
development efforts would suffer.

Our non-competition agreements with our key employees may not be enforceable. If
any of these employees leaves us and joins a competitor, our competitor could
benefit from the expertise that our former employee gained while working for us.

         We currently have non-competition agreements with all of our key
employees in Israel. These agreements prohibit these key employees from directly
competing with us or working with our competitors in the event such key
employees cease to work for us. Under current Israeli law, we may not be able to
enforce these non-competition agreements. If we are unable to enforce any of
these agreements, our competitors that employ these former employees could
benefit from the expertise these former employees gained while working for us.
In addition, we do not have non-competition agreements with our U.S. and
Canadian employees.

The implementation of SFAS No. 123R, which will require us to record
compensation expense in connection with equity share based compensation as of
the first quarter of 2006, may reduce our profitability.

         On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
issued Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment ("SFAS No. 123R"),
which is a revision of SFAS No. 123.

                                       7



<PAGE>


Generally, the approach in SFAS 123(R) is similar to the approach described in
Statement 123. However, SFAS No. 123 permitted, but did not require, share-based
payments to employees to be recognized on the basis of their fair values while
SFAS No. 123(R) requires, as of the first quarter of 2006, all share-based
payments to employees to be recognized on the basis of their fair values. SFAS
No. 123R also revises, clarifies and expands guidance in several areas,
including measuring fair value, classifying an award as equity or as a liability
and attributing compensation cost to reporting periods. The adoption of SFAS No.
123R may have a significant effect on our results of operations in the future.
In addition, such adoption could limit our ability to use stock options as an
incentive and retention tool, which could, in turn, negatively impact our
ability to recruit employees and retain existing employees.

Compliance with the changing regulation of corporate governance and public
disclosure may result in additional expenses.

         Changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate
governance and public disclosure, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, new
Securities and Exchange Commission regulations and NASDAQ Marketplace Rules, are
creating uncertainty for companies such as ours. We are committed to maintaining
high standards of corporate governance and public disclosure. As a result, we
intend to invest reasonably necessary resources to comply with evolving
standards, and this investment may result in increased general and
administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from
revenue-generating activities to compliance activities, which could harm our
operating results and business prospects.

Risks Relating to Our Ordinary Shares

Volatility of the market price of our ordinary shares could adversely affect our
shareholders and us.

         The market price of our ordinary shares has been, and is likely to be,
highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to
numerous factors, including the following:

          o    political,  economic  and  other  developments  in the  State  of
               Israel;

          o    terrorist  attacks  and other acts of war,  and any  response  to
               them;

          o    actual  or  anticipated  variations  in our  quarterly  operating
               results or those of our competitors;

          o    announcements   by  us  or  our   competitors  of   technological
               innovations or new and enhanced products;

          o    developments or disputes concerning proprietary rights;

          o    introduction and adoption of new industry standards;

          o    changes in financial estimates by securities analysts;

          o    market conditions or trends in our industry;

          o    changes in the market valuations of our competitors;

          o    announcements   by  us  or   our   competitors   of   significant
               acquisitions;

                                        8



<PAGE>


          o    entry into strategic  partnerships or joint ventures by us or our
               competitors; and

          o    additions or departures of key personnel.

         In addition, the stock market in general, and the market for Israeli
companies and home defense companies in particular, has been highly volatile.
Many of these factors are beyond our control and may materially adversely affect
the market price of our ordinary shares, regardless of our performance.

Risks Relating to Our Location in Israel

Conducting business in Israel entails special risks.

         We are incorporated under Israeli law and our principal offices and
manufacturing and research and development facilities are located in the State
of Israel. Accordingly, we are directly influenced by the political, economic
and military conditions affecting Israel. Specifically, we could be adversely
affected by any major hostilities involving Israel, a full or partial
mobilization of the reserve forces of the Israeli army, the interruption or
curtailment of trade between Israel and its present trading partners, and a
significant downturn in the economic or financial condition of Israel.

         Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, a number of
armed conflicts have taken place between Israel and its Arab neighbors, and a
state of hostility, varying from time to time in intensity and degree, has led
to security and economic problems for Israel. Since September 2000, there has
been a marked increase in violence, civil unrest and hostility, including armed
clashes, between the State of Israel and the Palestinians, and acts of terror
have been committed inside Israel and against Israeli targets in the West Bank
and Gaza. There is no indication as to how long the current hostilities will
last or whether there will be any further escalation. Any further escalation in
these hostilities or any future armed conflict, political instability or
violence in the region may have a negative effect on our business condition,
harm our results of operations and adversely affect our share price. In
addition, the Israeli Government has adopted a plan according to which the State
of Israel will disengage from territories in Gaza Strip and north Samaria, or
the Disengagement Plan. The Disengagement Plan has recently been approved by the
Israeli Parliament and is expected to be executed as of August 2005. However, at
this stage, it is not clear whether the Disengagement Plan will be implemented
at all, and if implemented, what implications, if any, will it entail.
Accordingly, we can not predict the effects of the implementation or
cancellation of such plan on the Israeli political and economical situation.
Furthermore, there are a number of countries that restrict business with Israel
or Israeli companies. Restrictive laws or policies of those countries directed
towards Israel or Israeli businesses had, and may in the future continue to
have, an adverse impact on our operations, our financial results or the
expansion of our business. No predictions can be made as to whether or when a
final resolution of the area's problems will be achieved or the nature thereof
and to what extent the situation will impact Israel's economic development or
our operations.

Political trade relations could limit our ability to sell or buy
internationally.

         We could be affected adversely by the interruption or reduction of
trade between Israel and its trading partners. Some countries, companies and
organizations continue to participate in a boycott of Israeli firms and others
doing business with Israel or with Israeli companies. To date, these measures
have not had a material adverse affect on our business. However, there can be no
assurance that restrictive laws, policies or practices towards Israel or Israeli
businesses will not have an adverse impact on our business.

                                        9

<PAGE>




Our results of operations may be negatively affected by the obligation of our
personnel to perform military service.

         Many of our executive officers and employees in Israel are obligated to
perform annual reserve duty in the Israeli Defense Forces and are subject to
being called for active duty under emergency circumstances at any time. If a
military conflict or war arises, these individuals could be required to serve in
the military for extended periods of time. Our operations could be disrupted by
the absence for a significant period of one or more of our executive officers or
key employees or a significant number of other employees due to military
service. Any disruption in our operations could adversely affect our business.

The economic conditions in Israel have not been stable in recent years.

         In recent years Israel has been going through a period of recession in
economic activity, resulting in low growth rates and growing unemployment. Our
operations could be adversely affected if the economic conditions in Israel
deteriorate.

We may be adversely affected by a change in the exchange rate of the New Israeli
Shekel against the dollar.

         Because exchange rates between the NIS and the dollar fluctuate
continuously, exchange rate fluctuations, particularly larger periodic
devaluations, may have an impact on our profitability and period-to-period
comparisons of our results. In 2001 and 2002, the rate of devaluation of the NIS
against the dollar was 9.3% and 7.3%, respectively, while in 2003 and 2004 the
NIS appreciated in value in relation to the dollar by 7.6% and 1.6%,
respectively. A portion of our expenses, primarily labor expenses, is incurred
in NIS and a part of our revenues are quoted in NIS. Additionally, certain
assets, as well as a portion of our liabilities, are denominated in NIS. Our
results may be adversely affected by the devaluation of the NIS in relation to
the dollar (or if such devaluation is on lagging basis), if our revenues in NIS
are higher than our expenses in NIS and/or the amount of our assets in NIS are
higher than our liabilities in NIS. Alternatively, our results may be adversely
affected by an appreciation of the NIS in relation to the dollar (or if such
appreciation is on a lagging basis), if the amount of our expenses in NIS are
higher than the amount of our revenues in NIS and/or the amount of our
liabilities in NIS are higher than our assets in NIS.

We currently benefit from government programs and tax benefits that may be
discontinued or reduced.

         We currently receive grants and tax benefits under Israeli government
programs, we must continue to meet specified conditions, including, but not
limited to, making specified investments from our equity in fixed assets and
paying royalties with respect to grants received. In addition, some of these
programs restrict our ability to manufacture particular products or transfer
particular technology outside of Israel. If we fail to comply with these
conditions in the future, the benefits we receive could be canceled and we could
be required to refund any payments previously received under these programs,
including any accrued interest, or pay increased taxes or royalties. The Israeli
government has reduced the benefits available under these programs in recent
years and these programs and benefits may be discontinued or curtailed in the
future. If the Israeli government ends these programs and benefits, our
business, financial condition, results of operations and net income could be
materially adversely affected.

                                       10

<PAGE>


The tax benefits that we currently receive from our approved enterprise programs
require us to satisfy specified conditions. If we fail to satisfy these
conditions, we may be required to pay additional taxes and would likely be
denied these benefits in the future.

         The Investment Center of the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor of
the State of Israel has granted approved enterprise status to certain of our
manufacturing facilities. Starting from when we begin to generate net income
from these approved enterprise programs, any portion of our income derived from
these approved enterprise programs will be exempt from tax for a period of two
years and will be subject to a reduced tax for an additional five to eight
years, depending on the percentage of our share capital held by non-Israeli
residents. The benefits available to our approved enterprise programs are
dependent upon the fulfillment of conditions stipulated in applicable law and in
each program's certificate of approval. If we fail to comply with these
conditions, in whole or in part, we may be required to pay additional taxes and
interest for the period in which we benefited from the tax exemption or reduced
tax rates and would likely be denied these benefits in the future.

Provisions of Israeli law may delay, prevent or make difficult an acquisition of
us, which could prevent a change of control and therefore depress the price of
our shares.

         Provisions of Israeli corporate and tax law may have the effect of
delaying, preventing or making more difficult a merger with, or other
acquisition of, us. This could cause our ordinary shares to trade at prices
below the price for which third parties might be willing to pay to gain control
of us. Third parties who are otherwise willing to pay a premium over prevailing
market prices to gain control of us may be unable or unwilling to do so because
of these provisions of Israeli law.

Your rights and responsibilities as a shareholder will be governed by Israeli
law and differ in some respects from the rights and responsibilities of
shareholders under U.S. law.

         We are incorporated under Israeli law. The rights and responsibilities
of holders of our ordinary shares are governed by our memorandum of association,
articles of association and by Israeli law. These rights and responsibilities
differ in some respects from the rights and responsibilities of shareholders in
typical U.S. corporations. In particular, shareholder of an Israeli company has
a duty to act in good faith in exercising his or her rights and fulfilling his
or her obligations toward the company and other shareholders and to refrain from
abusing his power in the company, including, among other things, in voting at
the general meeting of shareholders on certain matters. Israeli law provides
that these duties are applicable in shareholder votes on, among other things,
amendments to a company's articles of association, increases in a company's
authorized share capital, mergers and interested party transactions requiring
shareholder approval. In addition, a controlling shareholder of an Israeli
company or a shareholder who knows that it possesses the power to determine the
outcome of a shareholder vote or who has the power to appoint or prevent the
appointment of a director or executive officer in the company has a duty of
fairness toward the company. However, Israeli law does not define the substance
of this duty of fairness. Because Israeli corporate law has undergone extensive
revision in recent years, there is little case law available to assist in
understanding the implications of these provisions that govern shareholder
behavior.

It may be difficult to enforce a non-Israeli judgment against us, our officers
and directors.

         All of our executive officers and directors are nonresidents of the
United States, and a substantial portion of our assets and the assets of these
persons are located outside the United States. Therefore, it may be difficult
for an investor, or any other person or entity, to enforce against us or any of
those persons in an Israeli court a U.S. court judgment based on the civil
liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws. It may also be
difficult to effect service of process on these persons in the United States.

                                       11

Additionally, it may be difficult for an investor, or any other person or
entity, to enforce civil liabilities under U.S. federal securities laws in
original actions filed in Israel.

communication lines such as fiber optic cables. The target market for PipeGuard
includes oil and gas companies, owners and operators of pipelines or
communication cables and governmental agencies dealing with security and
environment.

Industry Background

         Perimeter Security and Video Motion Detection Systems

         Perimeter security systems enable customers to monitor, limit and
control access by unauthorized personnel to specific regions or areas. High-end
perimeter systems are sophisticated in nature and are used by correctional
facilities, military installations, power companies and other high-security
installations. We believe that we are a leading provider of security systems and
maintenance in this industry.

         DreamBox

         The DreamBox is an embedded hardware and software product which
integrates a number of CCTV related applications into one box. The system is
designed to be economical, as well as compact to save space, by avoiding the use
of a complicated cable installation and network protocols integration.

         DreamBox contains twelve different applications, including a digital
video and audio recording, video and audio matrix switcher, outdoor and indoor
video motion detection system, or VMD, security management system, or SMS, and a
transmission system.

         The DreamBox, is sold at a substantially lower price than the cost of
the other product applications if sold separately, a factor which positions
DreamBox as the leading security solution for all strategic facilities. Its
target markets include governmental, institutional and other sensitive
facilities, such as airports, train stations, seaports, prisons, casinos and
hospitals, all of which require the use of high quality CCTV applications.

         Security Management and Control Systems

         The deployment of multiple security systems creates the need for a
system that can manage and control these systems through a single database. In
response to this need, we offer MagNet and Fortis, security management and
control systems that integrate the management, control and display of various
security systems, both outdoor, such as perimeter security systems, and indoor,
such as fire detection, entry monitoring and alarm systems, into a single,
real-time database, and support real-time decision making and wide area command
and control. These systems were developed to improve the response to real-time
security events by sharing video and geographical information between the
control center and security personnel acting in the field.

         Pipeline Security Systems

         As of end of year 2004, there were an estimated three million miles of
unprotected oil and gas pipelines worldwide. Although the need for securing
these pipelines has been strongly recognized by the oil and gas industry for
years, and in spite of increasing threats since the events of 9/11 and current
instability in Iraq and elsewhere in the Middle East, there was no effective
solution for securing buried pipes against damage caused by terror, sabotage,
theft or other third party threats. We have identified the demand and have
implemented a technology aimed at meeting this challenge. PipeGuard, our
pipeline security system, provides a solution for securing buried assets and
infrastructure, including oil and gas pipelines and buried communication lines
such as fiber optic cables.

                                       13

         Personal Emergency Location Systems

         Our products deliver high reliability personal portable duress alarm
systems to protect personal in correctional facilities. These products identify
individuals in distress and can pinpoint the location of the distress signal
with an indoor-to-outdoor and floor-to-floor accuracy unmatched by any other
product.

         Video Monitoring Services

         The rapid consolidation of some of the largest companies in the
electronic security services industry combined with their overall emphasis on
residential security has led to fewer providers of high quality, innovative
commercial electronic security services. We believe that the potential market
for commercial real-time video monitoring security services is large and that
within a few years most of the security systems used at industrial and
commercial sites will adopt video monitoring systems as the preferred method of
surveillance and protection. Consequently, in 2001, we established Smart to
provide commercial real-time video monitoring security services.

Business and Marketing Strategy

         Our primary objective is to become a leading provider of security
systems worldwide. To achieve this objective, we have implemented a business
strategy incorporating the following key elements:

         Refine and Broaden Product Line. We have identified the security needs
of our customers and intend to enhance our current products and develop new
products to meet those needs. We intend to continue to focus on improving the
sensitivity, detection ability and reliability of our products. During 2003, we
invested 8% of our revenues in developing new products, expanding the
capabilities of existing products and making custom enhancements for specific
projects. Since the beginning of 2004 we have launched three new products that
significantly broaden the spectrum of security solutions we offer and
substantially expand our potential security markets.

           Enter New Markets and Strengthen Presence in Existing Markets. In
2005 we intend to continue to penetrate new geographic markets by various means,
including the establishment of alliances with local distributors. We also intend
to increase our marketing efforts in our existing markets and to acquire or
invest in complementary, including competitive, businesses, products and
technologies.

         Leverage Existing Customer Base; Cross-Market Products. We believe that
we have the capability to offer certain of our customers a comprehensive
security package. As part of our product development process, we seek to
maintain close relationships with our customers to identify market needs and to
define appropriate product specifications. We intend to expand the depth and
breadth of our existing customer relationships while initiating similar new
relationships. We believe that our three new products will substantially broaden
our potential markets.

         Offer Comprehensive Turnkey Solutions. By broadening our product range
to include both indoor and outdoor security systems and by developing our
security management and control systems and Dreambox "all in one" CCTV security
solution, we now offer comprehensive turnkey security solutions that provide a

Products and Services

         Perimeter Security Systems

         Our line of perimeter security systems consists of the following:

          o    taut wire perimeter intrusion detection systems;

          o    vibration detection systems; and

          o    field disturbance sensors.

         Our line of perimeter security systems utilizes sophisticated sensor
devices to detect and locate intruders and identify the nature of intrusions.
Our perimeter security systems have been installed along thousands of kilometers
of borders and facility boundaries throughout the world, including more than 600
correctional institutions in the U.S. and correctional institutions in several
other countries. In addition, we have installed several hundred miles of high
security electronic perimeter systems along Israel's borders.

         Taut Wire Perimeter Intrusion Detection Systems. Our taut wire systems
consist of wire strung at high tension between anchor posts. Sensor posts are
located at the middle between anchor posts. These sensor posts contain one or
more devices that detect changes in the tension being exerted on and by the taut
wires. Any force applied against these wires, or released from them, as by
cutting, unless within the parameters designed into the sensors themselves or
programmed into the central control units, automatically triggers an alarm. We
use taut wire perimeter systems as both an integral component of intruder
detection systems and as a physical barrier to infiltration.

         Our sealed sensors are not affected by radio frequency interference,
climatic or atmospheric conditions, or electrical transients from power lines or
passing vehicles. The sensors self-adjust to, or remain unaffected by, extreme
temperature variations, minor soil movements and other similar environmental
changes that might trigger false alarms in less sophisticated systems. Our taut
wire perimeter systems are designed to discriminate automatically between fence
tension changes typically caused by small animals or violent weather and forces
more typically exerted by a human intruder.

         Our taut wire perimeter systems offer customers a wide range of
installation options. Sensor posts can be as far as 200 feet apart, with
relatively inexpensive ordinary fence anchor posts between them. These systems
may stand alone, be mounted on a variety of fence posts or added to an existing
wall or other structure, or mounted on short posts, with or without outriggers.

         Taut wire perimeter systems have been approved by various Israeli and
U.S. security and military authorities. We have installed several hundred
kilometers of these perimeter systems along Israel's borders to assist in
preventing unauthorized entry and infiltration. Our taut wire perimeter systems
are sold for approximately $50-$100 per meter.

         Vibration Detection Systems. We offer two types of vibration detection
systems. While less sensitive than taut wire installations, the adaptability of
these systems to a wide range of pre-existing barrier structures makes these
products viable alternatives for cost-conscious customers. Our vibration

                                       15

<PAGE>


detection devices are most effective when installed on common metal fabric
perimeter systems, such as chain link or welded mesh. In our BARRICADE 500
system, pairs of electro-mechanical sensors are attached to fence panels three
meters apart on any of several common types of fence structures. Once attached
to the fence, each sensor detects vibrations in the underlying structures. The
sensor system's built-in electro-mechanical filtering combines with system input
from a weather sensor to minimize the rate of false alarms from wind, hail or
other sources of nuisance vibrations.

         Intelli-FLEX and FPS microprocessor-based triboelectric and
piezoelectric cable fence sensors are vibration sensitive transducers. Both
systems detect any attempt to cut, climb or penetrate the fence and both have
microphonic properties. The microphonic feature permits audio to be used for
low-cost alarm assessment, providing users with an additional tool for
determining the nature of an attempted intrusion. Our vibration detection
systems are sold for between $11-$26 per meter.

         Field Disturbance Sensors. We offer two types of field disturbance
sensors. The Intelli-Field volumetric electronic field disturbance sensor can be
installed outdoors on perimeter systems, buildings or as free-standing units.
The Perimitrax buried volumetric field disturbance sensor can be buried in most
types of soil and paved areas and uses "leaky coax" technology to detect
attempted perimeter penetrations. Both systems detect intrusions before the
intruder touches the sensor. The Intelli-Field system costs approximately
$80-$190 per meter and the Perimitrax system is sold for approximately $65-$170
per meter.

         Video Motion Detection System

         Our Video Motion Detection System, or DTS, utilizes advanced video
image processing technology to detect, locate and track intruders automatically.
The system, which was introduced in 1993, experiences fewer false alarms than
most competing products because it is able to distinguish automatically between
human and other forms of infiltration.

         DTS is a detection and tracking system that combines our image
processing technology with input from ordinary video surveillance cameras to
detect, locate and track intruders without continuous human monitoring. Our DTS
image processing and graphics overlay cards and software, when installed in an
IBM-compatible personal computer, enable that computer to process video signals,
including signals from visible light, infrared and other camera types. Our image
processing software incorporates a learning cycle that permits the system to
analyze the protected area, including such variable features as changing weather
and lighting conditions, to reduce false alarms. A DTS user can program all the
parameters used to define an alarm condition, including, for example, intruder
speed, object size, threat direction and distance traveled. The user can also
designate specific areas within the camera's field of view to be protected. Each
camera in a multiple camera system can be monitored using different parameters.
Parameters can be switched manually, automatically or by external inputs, and
the cameras can be assigned relative priorities for computer monitoring. These
features enable the DTS to identify an intruder and then track the intruder in
real-time on screen and emit an alarm without the need for continuous human
monitoring. We have continued to improve our DTS system to make it more
user-friendly and to meet customer expectations.

         When a DTS detects an intruder, the control computer automatically
generates an alarm and records the first visual frame of the alarm event on its
hard disk. The system's video monitor will then display the intruder's track
across the camera's field of view. The intruder's track can also be recorded on
an optional computer-controlled videocassette recorder or DVR. Each DTS
integrated circuit board can monitor up to four cameras, so that by using eight
empty card slots, a single computer can be equipped to monitor up to thirty-two
cameras. The DTS system is sold for approximately $10,000 for the first card and
tracking graphics overlay card and $8,000 each for up to seven additional system
cards. Elta Electronics Industries Ltd., a subsidiary of IAI, developed the DTS
for us.

         DreamBox

         The DreamBox is an embedded hardware and software product which
integrates a number of CCTV related applications into one box. The system is
designed to be economical, as well as compact to save space, by avoiding the use
of a complicated cable installation and network protocols integration.

         DreamBox contains twelve different applications, including a digital
video and audio recording, video and audio matrix switcher, outdoor and indoor
VMD, SMS, and a transmission system.

         The DreamBox is sold at a substantially lower price than the cost of
the other products applications if sold separately, a factor which positions
DreamBox as the leading security solution for all strategic facilities. Its
target markets include governmental, institutional and other sensitive
facilities, such as airports, train stations, seaports, prisons, casinos and
hospitals, all of which require the use of high quality CCTV applications.

         By developing this product, we entered a new area of activity. We refer
to the DreamBox's target market as an `add-on' market for us, and believe that
this product is substantially broadening our target markets. As an example, we
entered the field of digital video recording, which is only one of many DreamBox
applications.

         Security Management System

         MagNet, our security management system, integrates the management,
control and display of various security systems into a single, real-time
database. MagNet, which is based on computer communications and controlled by a
unique server developed by us, converts real-time data received from field
units, analyzes that data and transmits operational commands accordingly. It
also generates alarms to indicate problems with any connected security system
and provides explanations as to the causes of the alarms. MagNet displays video
pictures of the alarm source, using an advanced video matrix with a
user-friendly interface. The operational commands transmitted by MagNet are
routed back to the field units or to operator workstations which then convert
these commands to visual information and allow the system operator to respond
and influence the system's operation.

         MagNet integrates various detection technologies, including infrared
and microwave, and enables multiple operators to simultaneously control the
system. It can serve and manage multiple security systems, sensors, detectors
and controllers, and is unaffected by the distance between the various system
components under its control. MagNet can integrate and control both outdoor
security systems and indoor security systems, and its open architecture enables
operation with systems manufactured by other manufacturers as well as those
manufactured by us. Data can be entered into the MagNet system from anywhere in
the world through the Internet, provided appropriate authorization exists. In
addition, MagNet's TCP/IP protocol and Ethernet boards, using the Windows NT
operating system, allow the system to use a wide range of communications media,
such as telephone lines, fiber optics and wireless communication. MagNet
operates with, and can provide solutions for, various types of security
configurations, as well as adaptations for additional and new security systems.

         Integrated Command and Control System

          Fortis, our fully Integrated Command and Control System, supports
real-time decision making and wide-area command and control. Fortis reduces the
period of time from intruder detection to intruder engagement to a minimum.
Fortis was developed to improve the response to real-time security events, by
sharing video and geographical information between the control center and
security personnel acting in the field.

                                       17



<PAGE>


         The system creates a unified and interactive intelligence picture -
drawing data from all sensors, while displaying the movement of security
personnel in the field and adding other relevant information, such as video from
various sources, auxiliary services and weather conditions. This combined
picture, which is continuously updated, is sent by the central command to all
security personnel in the command chain, and serves as a unified basis for
operational planning and allocation of tasks. Using advanced technology, Fortis
provides the security officer with a graphical command tool, which updates the
location details and video view of the alerting area, while simultaneously
enabling a constant watch over security personnel movements, thus optimizing the
operational response.

         Fortis's target markets include governmental, institutional and large
sensitive facilities, such as borders, airports, hospitals, power plants and
water sources, as well as large manufacturing facilities requiring real-time
control and protection.

         Pipeline Security System

         PipeGuard, our pipeline security system, provides a solution for
securing buried assets, gas and oil pipelines and infrastructure of buried
communication lines such as fiber optic cables.

         PipeGuard utilizes an innovative and unique technology to guard buried
pipelines, regardless of pipeline length, with the ability to detect potential
attack and alert authorities before potential harm or damage occurs. Its target
market includes oil and gas companies, owners and operators of pipelines or
communication cables and governmental agencies dealing with security and
environment.

         PipeGuard combines well proven sensors - geophones, with advanced edge
of technology recognition algorithm capabilities based on the analysis of
seismic signals, thus effectively filtering out false alarms. Using state of the
art communications, only predefined signals are transmitted to the control
station.

         PipeGuard is suitable for all pipes or cables, from existing and
operational pipelines, to new pipelines under construction. The system can
easily be integrated into a full turnkey security solution, including perimeter
protection, ground or air patrol and others. By answering the challenge of
securing pipelines, we offer a total security solution for the oil and gas
industry - from the oil field to the refineries.

         Personal Emergency Location Systems

         Flash Personal Emergency Alarm Systems, or Flash, and Flare Personal
Emergency Locating Systems, or Flare, use radio frequency technology to provide
a one touch emergency system that is so small it can be worn on a belt. The
systems, sold mainly to correctional facilities, consist of transmitters that
send distress signals to receivers mounted throughout the building. Receivers
relay the signal to a central location indicating someone requires assistance
and their location in the building. The systems employ automated testing
procedures that help to reduce maintenance costs. The hardware and software was
developed and researched in the U.S. and competes against infrared and
ultrasonic technologies.

         Our personal alarm system, or PAS, uses an ultrasonic based emergency
notification and communication system. The system, sold mainly to correctional
facilities, allows individuals moving throughout a facility to quickly indicate
their exact location in a crisis situation through a transmitter that is carried
by them.

Video Monitoring Services

         Smart provides remote video verification services and remote video
surveillance services. Smart verification systems are activated by an event,
such as an illegal entry or tampering with property. Within seconds of an event
being triggered by an intrusion, Smart systems automatically store the video
images

                                       18

<PAGE>


which are then sent to a central control room. The use of audio response to an
event allows the control room operator to effectively stop a developing incident
by broadcasting a warning message directed at the intruder. In addition, the
control room operator can replay video images captured before and after the
event to verify a criminal intrusion. Smart operators are then able to respond
to the intrusion quickly and effectively by summoning police assistance or an
entity's appropriate internal security response team. Smart central monitoring
station is able to provide instantaneous security responses across the U.S.

Marketing, Sales and Distribution

         We have marketed our products primarily to government agencies,
government authorities and government-owned companies. However, the activities
of certain of these government bodies, are increasingly being privatized in
jurisdictions throughout the world. We believe that our reputation as a vendor
of high-security products in one of the world's most security-conscious
countries often provides us and our sales representatives with direct access to
senior government and corporate officials in charge of security matters
elsewhere. In recent years, we began investing resources in the distribution of
perimeter intrusion detection systems to private corporations. We attempt to
initiate contact with potential customers at trade shows, where we demonstrate
our products and distribute promotional materials. After initial discussions, we
generally seek to provide potential customers with products on a trial basis or
in a small-scale installation. We believe that this affords prospective
purchasers an opportunity to assess our products over a sustained period of time
under realistic conditions. We have sales offices located in the United Kingdom,
Germany, Mexico, the U.S. and China.

         Perimeter Intrusion Detection Systems. We generally sell our perimeter
intrusion detection systems to exclusive distributors for various geographic
territories or for specific projects. These exclusive distributors then resell
these products at prices negotiated with their respective customers. In some
cases, however, we pay commissions on these third-party sales either to the
distributor or to the sales representatives responsible for facilitating the
transaction. In addition to marketing activities, some of our distributors also
provide installation and maintenance services for our products. We currently
have over 50 distributors who resell these systems. We occasionally use agents
to find suitable distributors and pay finders' fees to these agents for their
services.

         From 1988 until March 31, 2004, an unaffiliated third party held the
exclusive right to distribute our taut wire detection systems in the U.S. and
Canada. Since March 31, 2004, we distribute our taut wire detection systems in
the U.S. through our subsidiary Magal Senstar Inc., or MSI, and an unaffiliated
third party who was granted a non-exclusive right to distribute such systems in
the U.S., and in Canada.

         DTS. We have continued to improve our DTS system to make it more
user-friendly and to meet customer expectations. Our marketing efforts for our
DTS system includes participation in exhibitions in Europe, South America and
the Far East. In the U.S., we distributed the DTS system through an unaffiliated
exclusive distributor who was subject to minimum purchase requirements. This
distribution agreement was terminated on March 31, 2004. Since March 31, 2004 we
distribute our DTS systems in the U.S. and Canada through our subsidiaries, MSI
and Senstar, respectively.

         Security Management and Control Systems DreamBox and Turnkey Projects.
Our marketing efforts for our Security Management and Control Systems, DreamBox
and turnkey projects consists of direct contact with potential customers. We
offer the MagNet, the Fortis and the DreamBox primarily as part of comprehensive
turnkey project solutions or, at the customer's preference, as stand-alone
products.

         Pipeline Security System. The target market for the pipeline security
system includes oil and gas companies, owners and operators of pipelines or
communication cables and governmental agencies engaged with security and
environment issues.

Seasonality

         Our operating results are characterized by a seasonal pattern, with a
higher volume of revenues towards the end of the year. This pattern, which is
expected to continue, is mainly due to two factors:

          o    our  customers  are  mainly  budget-oriented  organizations  with
               lengthy decision processes which tend to mature late in the year;
               and

          o    due to weather and other conditions, revenues are often postponed
               from the first quarter to subsequent quarters.

         See also Item 3.D. "Key Information-Risk Factors." Our revenues are
dependent on government procurement procedures and practices, and because we
receive large product orders from a relatively small number of customers, our
revenues and operating results are subject to substantial periodic variations.

Customers

         For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, revenues
generated from sales to the MOD and the Israeli Defense Forces, or IDF,
accounted for 15.9%, 27.2% and 7.7%, respectively, of our revenues. We cannot
assure you that the MOD, IDF, or any of our other major customers will maintain
their volume of business with us or that, if such volume is reduced, other
customers generate similar revenues will replace the lost business. The loss of
one or more of these existing customers without replacement by a customer or
customers of similar volume would have a material adverse effect on our
financial results.

         Perimeter Security Systems. We have installed high-security taut wire
electronic perimeter systems over several hundred kilometers of Israel's borders
and have sold a number of our high-security perimeter systems to protect other
locations in Israel, including Ben-Gurion International Airport, facilities of
IAI and the Israel Electric Company, the Knesset, industrial plants, prisons and
military bases. Outside Israel, our high-security perimeter systems have been
purchased to protect various sites, including military installations,
refineries, conventional and nuclear power stations, oil tank farms, industrial
facilities, storage areas and warehouses, royal palaces and presidential
residences in various European countries, North America, and in South America
and the Far East.

         Currently, airport security activities concentrate almost exclusively
on screening passengers and luggage within the airport terminal in connection
with passenger check-in. We are aware of only a few airports in the world which
currently have high-security perimeter protection systems to prevent
infiltrators from reaching the airport's tarmac from outside. Most of these
airports utilize a system manufactured by us. In marketing our high-security
perimeter systems, we target authorities responsible for airport security. To
date, we have sold and installed a limited amount of perimeter systems at
certain airports in Israel, Europe, the U.S. and the Far East. We are continuing
to negotiate with authorities in several other countries to install our
perimeter systems around airports. However, we cannot assure you that any
revenues will result from these negotiations.

         Our high-security perimeter systems offer prison authorities the
opportunity to address an escape attempt in real-time, rather than at the next
roll-call, which may be several hours after the escape. Our high-security
perimeter systems have already been installed in prisons in Australia, Europe,
Israel, North America and the Far East.

         Ten of our perimeter intrusion detection systems have been approved by
the U.S. Department of the Air Force, as part of the $498 million Force
Protection Integrated Base Defense Security System (IBDSS) program. The IBDSS
program includes intrusion detection systems designed to prevent unauthorized
entry or access to large, medium and small military facilities. The IBDSS
program to protect classified facilities was initiated in October 2003 and is
scheduled for completion in September 2008. Our products have been approved by
the U.S. Department of the Air Force for use in the various tested

                                       21

applications and configurations, and they will be supplied to the U.S.
Department of the Air Force through the major U.S. integrators.

         The IDF has tested our perimeter security products along with those of
several of our competitors and our system and two competitor's systems were the
only systems to be approved for participation in the MOD's bid for perimeter
security systems. In April and May 2000, the MOD ordered approximately $9
million of new perimeter security systems from us. We delivered most of these
orders during 2000. In March 2001, we won a $2 million MOD bid to install a new
perimeter security system along Israel's borders. In September 2001, we won a
$1.4 million MOD bid to perform restoration work along the Gaza Strip border and
a $500,000 MOD bid to protect the MOD's headquarters. In July 2002, we received
a $1.5 million order from the MOD to install additional perimeter intrusion
detection systems along the Gaza Strip border.

         In September 2002, we won 80% of the MOD bids for the installation of
intrusion detection systems along the seam line between Israel and the West
Bank. The MOD bids were for approximately 125 kilometers, or only one third of
the total project. We have won bids having a value of approximately $15 million
to install intrusion detection systems along approximately 100 kilometers. In
January 2004, we received follow on orders of approximately $4 million. This
project was completed in 2004. In March 2005, we signed a $6.1 million framework
agreement with the MOD to continue the installation of intrusion detection
systems along the seam line. This agreement is expected to be completed by the
end of the third quarter of 2005.

         In January 2002, Senstar received a $1 million contract from Public
Works and Government Services Canada on behalf of Correctional Service Canada to
supply and install over 700 security cameras and video surveillance equipment to
27 correctional facilities across Canada. In April 2002, Senstar signed a second
contract worth approximately $2.2 million to supply and install Senstar's
Perimitrax sensor as part of Correctional Service Canada's overall perimeter
detection security system at nine of its facilities. Senstar will also provide
operational and maintenance training, as well as a quantity of spare parts and
test equipment and integration into the existing perimeter intrusion detection
system integration units. Installations at six sites, valued at approximately
$1.6 million, were completed during 2002 and the balance of the contract
($600,000) was completed during 2003. Since April 2002 approximately $500,000
was added to the value of the original contract for additional work with
$300,000 completed in 2003 and the balance of $200,000 has been completed in
2004.
         In April 2002, we received orders of approximately $750,000 to protect
major sensitive installations in Israel. Revenues from the majority of these
orders was reflected in our 2002 financial results, with the reminder reflected
on our 2003 financials. The orders were for a number of our security systems,
including our vibration intrusion detection system, video motion detection
system, CCTV cameras and other security systems, all controlled by our MagNet
security management system.

         In July 2002, we received a $850,000 order to protect a major
correctional facility in Southeast Asia. We are acting as a sub-contractor for
Megason Electronics and Tyco, which won the tender for the total protection of
this facility. Our part in this project includes providing the perimeter
security system, which includes taut wire intrusion detection systems, CCTV
cameras and video motion detection systems. This order was completed in the
first quarter of 2004.

         In December 2002, Senstar-Stellar Inc. and Senstar signed contracts to
supply perimeter intrusion detection systems to correctional facilities in
Canada and to a prison in the state of Pennsylvania. The total amount of both
contracts is approximately $2.3 million, of which orders for $500,000 were
executed in 2002. Senstar will design, supply, install and test its Intelli-Flex
fence disturbance systems at twelve Correctional Service Canada institutions
located across Canada and will also provide operational and technical training.
The Intelli-FLEX sensors will be integrated into the existing perimeter
intrusion

detection system (PIDS) integration unit. This project has been completed and
the balance was completed in the first quarter of 2004.

         In August 2003, Senstar Stellar Latin America, our wholly owned Mexican
subsidiary, received an order of approximately $1.5 million to install a
perimeter security system at sensitive installations in Mexico. As of December
31, 2003, 95% of this project had been completed and the balance was completed
in the first quarter 2004.

         In January 2004, we received a $700,000 order from the Israeli Prisons
Authority, to install a perimeter intrusion detection system around one of the
largest prisons in Israel. The order was completed in the third quarter of 2004.
The order includes installation of our perimeter intrusion detection systems, as
well as cameras, digital video recording and other security systems, all
controlled by our MagNet security management system.

         Our wholly owned U.S. based subsidiaries, Perimeter Products Inc., or
PPI, and Senstar Stellar Inc, or SSI, supplied $4.2 million of products to
Homeland Security contractors in 2003 and $7.7 million in 2004, respectively,
for the protection of various governmental and military sites throughout the
United States.

         In October 2004, several of our wholly owned subsidiaries received
approximately $4.5 million in orders for a number of projects for perimeter
security systems that were installed at sensitive installations, mostly in
Mexico. The principal portions of these projects were completed in 2004 and the
balance is expected to be completed during the first half of 2005.

         In November 2004, Senstar entered into a contract with Correctional
Service Canada to protect eight of its sites in Canada, for $3.4 million. This
agreement was amended in June 2005 to add deliverables and payments of $0.3
million. Perimitrax detection sensors will be delivered and installed at all of
the sites by the end of June 2006. Pursuant to the terms of the contract, the
deliverables and the payments will take place in two stages, the first stage,
worth $2.8 million, will be completed in 2005 and the balance of $0.9 million
will be delivered and paid for in 2006.

         DTS. We are currently focusing our efforts on attracting customers
through upgrading outdoor systems that are currently installed at prisons,
factories, government buildings and other security-conscious installations. In
addition to our traditional customers, customers of this product include private
companies and utilities companies such as refineries and electric power
stations.

         DreamBox In August 2004, we received a $0.5 million order for a project
based on the DreamBox, the new all-in-one CCTV security solution, to protect a
sensitive facility in Israel.

         Security Management and Control Systems and Turnkey Projects. Since its
introduction, we have sold our security management system and provided turnkey
projects to several customers, including large international companies.

         In December 1999, we signed an approximately $5.7 million agreement
(including interest) with Azal to protect its international airport in
Azerbaijan. As of June 2005 this agreement was paid in full.

         In March 2000, we received a $2.7 million order to protect a large
industrial facility in India. This order constituted the first stage of a
comprehensive security installation for this facility and included a variety of
our security systems, all controlled by MagNet. During 2000 and 2001, we
received an aggregate of approximately $800,000 in additional orders.

                                       23



<PAGE>


         Since May 2002 we have received orders to protect communication
facilities in India totaling $6 million. These orders constitute part of a
comprehensive security installation program and follows $3.5 million in orders
executed for a sister company of the same Indian concern.

         At the end of 2002 we won a bid to protect the Otopeni International
Airport in Bucharest, Romania. The contract totals approximately $16 million.
This turnkey project includes different types of security systems as well as
video and data communication systems that will be integrated by MagNet. In March
2004, we signed an extension of the contract for $3.8 million and in August
2004, we signed another extension of the contract for $3.3 million. This
contract, including the extension, is expected to be completed by June 2006.

         Video Monitoring Services. We have sold our video monitoring services
to banks and various retail operations.

         Personal Emergency Location Systems. In 2003, a contract from the State
of Michigan, for eight correctional facilities, valued at approximately $0.6
million was assigned to PPI through our purchase of the business activity of
Dominion Wireless Inc. The project is expected to be completed by the third
quarter of 2005.

Recent Developments

         In July 2003, PPI acquired the business activity of Dominion Wireless,
Inc., or Dominion, for approximately $902,000. Dominion develops, produces and
manufactures a product that delivers high reliability personal portable duress
alarm systems to protect personnel in correctional facilities. As of December
31, 2003, the total purchase price was fully paid in cash. Dominion Wireless,
Inc. will be entitled to an "earn out" of 50% of the operating income related to
the acquired activity conditioned upon the achievement of operating income
milestones during the periods ending December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005. No
payments were due for the periods ending December 31, 2003 and 2004 since the
goals were not met. Should Dominion reach the earn out goal for 2005, any
additional consideration will be recorded as goodwill.

Support and Maintenance

         Our systems are installed by us or by the customer after appropriate
training, depending on the size of the specific project and the location of the
customer's facilities, as well as on the customer's prior experience with our
systems. We generally provide our customers with training on the use and
maintenance of our systems. This training is conducted either on-site or at our
facilities. In addition, some of our local perimeter security systems customers
have signed maintenance contracts with us. For systems installed outside of
Israel, maintenance is provided by an independent third party, by distributors
or by the end user. We also provide services, maintenance and support on an "as
needed" basis.

         We require distributors of our high-security perimeter systems to
purchase a demonstration kit that includes full-scale models of our perimeter
products, and to send technical personnel to Israel to participate in courses
given by us that focus on the marketing, installation and servicing of our
products.

         Similarly, with regard to our subsidiaries' products, customer
personnel are trained in product installation and maintenance either at the
subsidiaries' facilities or at the customer's facility. Installation supervision
and assistance are sometimes purchased along with the equipment. The life
expectancy of a high-security perimeter system is approximately ten years.
Consequently, many miles of perimeter systems need to be replaced each year.

                                       24

         During 2004, we derived less than 5% of our total revenues from
maintenance and services. We generally provide a warranty on most of our
products for defects for which we receive notice within 12 months of the
delivery date of the product.

Research and Development; Royalties

         We place considerable emphasis on research and development to improve
our existing products and technology and to develop new products and technology.
We believe that our future success will depend upon our ability to enhance our
existing products and technology and to introduce on a timely basis new
commercially viable products and technology addressing the needs of our
customers. We intend to continue to devote a significant portion of our
personnel and financial resources to research and development. As part of our
product development process, we seek to maintain close relationships with our
customers to identify market needs and to define appropriate product
specifications. Our development activities are a direct result of the input and
guidance we receive from our marketing personnel during our annual meetings with
such personnel. In addition, the heads of research and development for each of
our development centers discussed below meet annually to identify market needs
for new products.

         Our research and development expenses during 2002, 2003 and 2004 were
approximately $3,750,000, $5,128,000 and $5,088,000 respectively, of which
royalty bearing grants from the Office of the Chief Scientist of the Israel
Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor, or the OCS, and investment tax credits,
constituted approximately 16.6% 6.9% and 8%. In addition to our own research and
development activities, we also acquire know-how from external sources. We
cannot assure you that any of our research and development projects will yield
profitable results.

         We have the following three development centers, each of which develops
various products and technologies based on its area of expertise:

          o    in Israel, we develop a wide range of products including our taut
               wire,  mechanical  vibration,  video and high-end SMS systems and
               PipeGuard;

          o    in California, MSI develops our microphonic fence sensors as well
               as our microwave  detection,  personal alarm and small/medium end
               control systems; and

          o    in Canada,  Senstar develops our leaky coax radar,  triboelectric
               and fiber-optic fence sensors, electrostatic volumetric detection
               and medium to high-end  control  systems and  personal  emergency
               location systems.

         We historically sought co-financing of our development projects from
the OCS. In 2004, we obtained grants from the OCS of $228,000 for certain of our
research and development projects. We are obligated to pay royalties to the OCS,
amounting to 3%-4.5% of revenues derived from sales of the products funded with
these grants, up to an amount equal to 100% of the grants received, linked to
the U.S. dollar. All grants received after January 1, 1999 also bear interest at
the rate of LIBOR. The obligation to pay these royalties is contingent on actual
sales of the products and in the absence of such sales no payment is required.
We paid royalties amounting to $131,000, $80,000 and $61,000 in the years ended
December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively. As of December 31, 2004, our
aggregate contingent obligation to the OCS amounted to $1,868,000.

         The terms of these grants require that the manufacture of products
developed with these grants be performed in Israel and prohibit transferring
technology developed with grants without the prior consent of the Research
Committee of the OCS. We cannot assure you that, if requested, the OCS will
grant such consent. Each application to the OCS is reviewed separately, so we
cannot assure you that the Israeli Government will continue to support our
research and development.

The Fund for the Encouragement of Marketing Activities

         The Israeli Government, through the Fund for the Encouragement of
Marketing Activities, awarded us grants for overseas marketing expenses. We are
obligated to pay royalties to this fund at the rate of 3% of the increase in
export sales, up to the amount of the grants we received. To date, we have
received $253,000 in grants, and have paid royalties during 2002, 2003 and 2004
of $53,000, $0 and $0, respectively. As of December 31, 2004, our aggregate
contingent obligation amounted to $95,000.

Backlog

         As of May 31, 2005, our backlog amounted to approximately $43 million
of which approximately $21 million is expected to be delivered by the end of
2005, $11 million is expected to be delivered by the end of 2006 and $11 million
is expected to be delivered thereafter.

Manufacturing and Supply

         Our manufacturing operations consist of designing and developing our
products, fabricating and assembling components and finished products, quality
control and final testing. Substantially all of our manufacturing operations are
currently performed at our plant in Yehud, Israel. See "Property, Plants and
Equipment" below.

         We acquire most of the components utilized in our products, including,
but not limited to, our turnkey products, and certain services from a limited
number of suppliers and subcontractors. We cannot assure you that we will
continue to be able to obtain such items from these suppliers on satisfactory
terms. Alternative sources of supply are available, and therefore, we are not
dependent upon these suppliers and subcontractors. We also maintain an inventory
of systems and spare parts in order to enable us to overcome potential temporary
supply shortages until an alternate source of supply is available. Nevertheless,
temporary disruptions of our manufacturing operations would result if we were
required to obtain materials from alternative sources, which may have an adverse
effect on our financial results.

         Senstar's manufacturing operations are located at its facility in Carp,
Ontario, Canada and consist of design and development, assembly, final testing
and quality control. Senstar uses local subcontractors for making and mounting
its printed circuit board assemblies. The triboelectric sensor cable for
Senstar's Intelli-FLEX product is obtained from a sole supplier. If this sole
supplier were to discontinue production of the triboelectric sensor cable, it
would adversely affect Senstar's revenues of its Intelli-FLEX product.

          MSI's manufacturing operations are located at its facility in Fremont,
California and consist of development and design, assembly, quality control and
final testing. MSI uses local subcontractors for making and mounting its printed
circuit board assemblies.

Competition

         The principal factors affecting competition in the market for security
systems are a system's high probability for detection and low probability of
false and nuisance alarms. We believe that a manufacturer's reputation for
reliable equipment is a major competitive advantage, and that such a reputation
will usually be based on the performance of the manufacturer's installed
systems. Additional competitive factors include quality of customer support,
maintenance and price. We believe that we are competitive with respect to these
factors and that we have a good reputation in the markets in which we compete.

support, or more extensive business experience than we do. We cannot assure you
that we will be able to maintain the quality of our products relative to those
of our competitors or continue to develop and market new products effectively.

Intellectual Property Rights

         We have approximately 45 patents issued and patent applications pending
in the U.S. and in several other countries and have obtained licenses to use
proprietary technologies developed by third parties. We cannot assure you:

          o    that  patents  will be issued from any pending  applications,  or
               that the claims  allowed  under any patents will be  sufficiently
               broad to protect our technology;

          o    that any patents issued or licensed to us will not be challenged,
               invalidated or circumvented; or

          o    as to the degree or adequacy of protection  any patents or patent
               applications may or will afford.

         In addition, we claim proprietary rights in various technologies,
know-how, trade secrets and trademarks relating to our principal products and
operations. We cannot assure you as to the degree of protection these claims may
or will afford. It is our policy to protect our proprietary rights in our
products and operations through contractual obligations, including
confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements with certain employees and
distributors. We cannot assure you as to the degree of protection these
contractual measures may or will afford. Although we are not aware that we are
infringing upon the intellectual property rights of others, we cannot assure you
that an infringement claim will not be asserted against us in the future. We
believe that our success is less dependent on the legal protection that our
patents and other proprietary rights may or will afford than on the knowledge,
ability, experience and technological expertise of our employees. We cannot
provide any assurance that we will be able to

                                       27



<PAGE>


protect our proprietary technology. The unauthorized use of our proprietary
technology by third parties may impair our ability to compete effectively. We
could become subject to litigation regarding intellectual property rights, which
could seriously harm our business.

         We have trademark rights associated with our use of Flash and
Intelli-FLEX, and rights obtained by trademark registration for Flare,
Perimitrax, Panther, Intelli-FIELD, Senstar, Senstar-Stellar and the
Senstar-Stellar logo.

Government Regulation of Certain Exports

         Under Israeli law, the export of products that we manufacture in Israel
and/or certain know-how is subject to approval by the MOD. We must obtain
permits from the MOD to initiate sales proposals with regard to such exports, as
well as for actual export transactions. We cannot assure you that we will
receive all the required permits for which we may apply in the future.

C.       Organizational Structure.

         The table below lists our subsidiaries. We, or one of our subsidiaries,
own 100% of the outstanding capital stock of the subsidiary.

         Effective as of April 1, 2005, Perimeter Products Inc., one of our
wholly owned US subsidiaries merged into another of our US wholly owned
subsidiaries, Senstar Stellar Inc. Following the merger, Senstar Stellar Inc.'s
name was changed to Magal Senstar Inc., or MSI.

     Magal Security Sisteme S.R.L                      Romania

D.   Property, Plants and Equipment.

         Our two-story 2,533 square meter plant is located on a 4,352 square
meter parcel in the Yehud Industrial Zone. We purchased the rights to the land
in August 1988 from a third party, which had purchased them primarily from the
Israel Land Authority. In accordance with Israeli law, this parcel of

                                       28

<PAGE>


land is still registered in the name of the Israel Land Authority. We will be
entitled to have title to the property recorded in our name when Israeli
authorities subdivide the property into parcels. This procedure is a statutory
requirement for transferring land ownership in Israel. The products that we
manufacture at this facility include our taut-wire intrusion detection systems,
our vibration detection systems, our video-motion detection systems, MagNet,
Fortis, DreamBox, PipeGuard, and other perimeter systems.

         Senstar owns a 33,000 square foot facility in Carp, Ontario, Canada.
Approximately 7,000 square feet are devoted to administrative, marketing and
management functions and approximately 8,000 square feet are used for
engineering, system integration and customer service. Senstar uses the remaining
18,000 square feet for production operations, including cable manufacturing,
assembly, testing, warehousing, shipping and receiving. Senstar also leases ten
acres of land near this facility that is used as an outdoor sensor test and
demonstration site for its products. The products that Senstar manufactures at
this facility include the Perimitrax/Panther 2000 buried cable intrusion
detection systems, the Intelli-Field electro static detection system, the
Intelli-FLEX microphonic fence detection system, Flair and Flash, and various
perimeter monitoring and control systems.

          MSI owns a 20,000 square foot facility in Fremont, California. The
products that MSI manufactures at this facility include Intelli-Wave, various
sensors, the PAS personal alarm system and the MX control and monitoring center.

         In connection with two of our credit lines, a fixed charge was placed
on our plant in Israel by each of Bank Leumi Israel and Union Bank of Israel,
each of which ranks pari-passu with the other. In addition, MSI has granted its
mortgage lender a first mortgage on its premises.

         We believe that our facilities are suitable and adequate for our
operations as currently conducted and as foreseen. In the event we will require
additional facilities, we believe that we will be able to obtain such facilities
at commercially reasonable rates.

ITEM 5.  Operating and Financial Review and Prospects

A.   Operating Results.

         The following discussion of our results of operations and financial
condition should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial
statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this annual
report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks
and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those
anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors,
including, but not limited to, those set forth in Item 3.D. "Key
Information-Risk Factors."

         We develop, manufacture, market and sell complex computerized security
systems. Our systems are used in more than 75 countries to protect aircraft,
national borders and sensitive facilities, including military bases, power plant
installations, airports, postal facilities, prisons and industrial locations
from terrorism, theft and other security threats. Our revenues are principally
derived from:

          o    a line of perimeter security systems and a video motion detection
               system, which automatically detect and locate intruders, identify
               the nature of intrusions and provide emergency notification;

          o    turnkey  projects  based  on  security  management,  command  and
               control  systems,  which  integrate the  management,  control and
               display  of various  security  systems  into a single,  real-time
               database  and  support  real-time  decision  making and wide area
               command and control; and

                                       29

<PAGE>



          o    video monitoring services.

         We recently began to market two new products: DreamBox and PipeGuard.
DreamBox is a state-of-the-art embedded hardware and software product, which
integrates a number of Closed Circuit - TV related applications, into one box.
The system is designed to be economical, as well as compact to save space, while
avoiding the use of complicated cable installation and network protocols
integration. PipeGuard utilizes an innovative technology to guard buried
pipelines, regardless of pipeline length, with the ability to detect potential
attack and alert authorities before potential harm or damage occurs. PipeGuard
provides a solution for securing buried assets, gas and oil pipelines and
infrastructure of buried communication lines such as fiber optic cables. The
target market for PipeGuard includes oil and gas companies, owners and operators
of pipelines or communication cables and governmental agencies dealing with
security and environment.

         Economic and Other Factors

         Following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, heightened
global security concerns have increased the demand for products such as ours,
which protect aircraft, national borders and sensitive facilities from
terrorism, and we have experienced an increase in inquiries from prospective
customers regarding our products. Although we expect demand for our products to
increase, because our products are primarily sold to government agencies,
government authorities and government-owned companies, many of which have
complex and time-consuming procurement procedures, we do not expect to
experience a significant increase in our revenues until, at the earliest, the
end of 2005.

         The continued state of hostility between the State of Israel and the
Palestinian Authority has caused the State of Israel to increase its efforts to
protect its facilities and installations from unauthorized intrusions. In 2002,
the Israeli Government announced the construction of a perimeter system to seal
off parts of the West Bank to prevent Palestinian terrorists from entering
Israel. In September 2002, we won 80% of the bids published by the Israeli
Ministry of Defense, or MOD, for the installation of intrusion detection systems
along the seam-line between Israel and the West Bank. We received orders having
a value of approximately $19 million to install intrusion detection systems
along approximately 150 kilometers. As of December 31, 2004, this project was
completed. In 2003, the Israeli Government resolved to extend the perimeter
system and to continue construction along most of the remaining parts of the
seam-line. However, following the UN resolution to refer the question of the
legality of the seam-line perimeter systems to the International Court of
Justice in Hague, an international opposition to the route selected by the
Israeli government arose, causing the Israeli Government to change and shorten
the route of the seam-line perimeter system. This opposition, as well as certain
resolutions of the Israeli Supreme Court, caused a halt in the building of the
seam-line fence during 2004. Recently, the Israeli government approved a new
seam-line fence route. Such resolution is expected to signal the renewal of work
on the southern parts of the seam-line. According to recent reports in the
Israeli press, the MOD is expected to shortly publish orders for the work on the
southern segments of the seam-line fence, and it is widely believed that the
majority of the remaining segments of the fence will be completed during 2005.
Although we believe that we will participate in the new construction, we cannot
assure you that Israel will follow through with its decision to build the
perimeter system along the seam-line, or if such perimeter system is constructed
or rebuilt, that our products will be utilized.

         During 2004, we continued to incur losses relating to Smart's
operations.

         Business Challenges/Areas of Focus

         Our primary business challenges and areas of focus include:

                                       30



<PAGE>




          o    continuing  the  growth  of  revenues  and  profitability  of our
               perimeter security system line of products;

          o    enhancing the  introduction  and  recognition of our new products
               into the markets;

          o    penetrating  into new markets and  strengthening  our presence in
               existing markets; and

          o    succeeding in selling our comprehensive turnkey solutions.

Discussion of Critical Accounting Policies

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP
requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates and the use of different assumptions would likely result in materially
different results of operations.

         Critical accounting policies are those that are both most important to
the portrayal of our financial position and results of operations, and require
management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments. Although not all
of our significant accounting policies require management to make difficult,
subjective or complex judgments or estimates, the following policies and
estimates are those that we deem most critical:

         Revenue Recognition

         We generate our revenues mainly from (1) installation of comprehensive
security systems for which revenues are generated from long-term fixed price
contracts; (2) sales of security products; and (3) services and maintenance,
which are performed either on a fixed-price basis or on a time-and-materials
basis.

         Revenues from installation of comprehensive security systems and
turnkey projects are generated from fixed price contracts according to which the
time between the signing of the contract and the final customer acceptance is
over a period generally exceeding one year. Fees are payable upon completion of
agreed upon milestones, and subject to customer acceptance. Following customer
acceptance for certain milestones and only thereafter, services can be performed
for the next milestone. The amounts of revenues recognized are based on the
total fees under the agreement and the percentage to completion achieved.

         Project costs include material purchased to produce the system, related
labor and overhead expenses and subcontractor's costs. The percentage to
completion is measured by monitoring costs and efforts devoted using records of
actual costs incurred to date in the project compared to the total estimated
project requirement, which corresponds to the costs related to earned revenues.
Estimates of total project requirements are based on prior experience of
installing and integrating security systems, a history of no collection issues,
delivery and acceptance of similar services and a history of no cancellation
problems, which are reviewed and updated regularly by us. Provisions for
estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such
losses are first determined, in the amount of the estimated loss on the entire
contract.

         Estimated gross profit or loss from long-term contracts may change due
to changes in estimates resulting from differences between actual performance
and original forecasts. Such changes in estimated gross profit are recorded in
our results of operations when they are reasonably determinable by us, on a
cumulative catch-up basis.

                                       31



<PAGE>




         We believe that the use of the percentage of completion method is
appropriate as we have the ability to make reasonably dependable estimates of
the extent of progress towards completion, contract revenues and contract costs.
In addition, contracts executed include provisions that clearly specify the
enforceable rights regarding services to be provided and received by the parties
to the contracts, the consideration to be exchanged and the manner and the terms
of settlement, including in cases of terminations for convenience. In all cases
we expect to perform our contractual obligations and our customers are expected
to satisfy their obligations under the contract.

         Amounts recognized in advance of contractual billing are recorded as
unbilled receivables. At December 31, 2004 we recorded $ 13.2 million of such
unbilled receivables.

         We sell security products to a customer according to the customer's
order without installation work. The customer is not entitled to return the
parts. Revenues from security product sales are recognized when delivery has
occurred, persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, the vendor's fee is fixed
or determinable, no further obligation exists and collectability is probable.

         Services and maintenance are performed under either fixed-price basis
or time-and-materials basis contracts. Under fixed-price contracts, we agree to
perform certain work for a fixed price. Under time-and-materials contracts, we
are reimbursed for labor hours at negotiated hourly billing rates and materials.
Such service contracts and related revenues are recognized as those services are
performed or over the term of the related agreements provided that, an evidence
of an arrangement has been obtained, fees are fixed and determinable and
collectibillity is reasonably assured.

         One of our subsidiaries provides security video monitoring services.
The majority of its executed contracts are for a five year term and do not
include terms that result in the transfer of title of the equipment to the
customer. Under the contracts, service is not dependent on specific equipment.
That is, our subsidiary's obligation is related to the provision of monitoring
services. As such, service contracts do not meet the definition of a lease and
our subsidiary recognizes monthly service fees over the terms of the agreements.

         Deferred revenue includes unearned amounts under installation services,
service contracts and maintenance agreements.

         Inventories

         Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. We
periodically evaluate the quantities on hand relative to historical and
projected sales volumes, current and historical selling prices and contractual
obligations to maintain certain levels of parts. Based on these evaluations,
inventory write-offs are provided to cover risks arising from slow-moving items,
discontinued products, excess inventories, market prices lower than cost and
adjusted revenue forecasts. Such write-offs are included in cost of revenues.
Cost is determined as follows:

          o    Raw  materials,   parts  and  supplies  -  using  the  "first-in,
               first-out" method.

          o    Work-in-progress - represents the cost of production in progress.

          o    Finished  products - on the basis of direct  manufacturing  costs
               with the addition of allocable indirect manufacturing costs.

         During 2002, 2003 and 2004, we recorded inventories write-offs in the
amounts of $244,000, $601,000 and $224,000, respectively. A significant portion
of the 2003 write-off was attributable to discontinued products.

                                       32

         Income taxes

         We account for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes." This statement
prescribes the use of the liability method whereby deferred tax asset and
liability account balances are determined based on differences between financial
reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the
enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are
expected to reverse. We provide a valuation allowance, if necessary, to reduce
deferred tax assets to their estimated realizable value.

         As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial
statements, we are required to estimate our income taxes in each of the
jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves estimating our actual
current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting
from differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. These
differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included
within our consolidated balance sheet. We must then assess the likelihood that
our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and we must
establish a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount
that is more likely than not to be realized. Increases in the valuation
allowance result in additional expense to be reflected within the tax provision
in the consolidated statement of income. At December 31, 2004, our deferred tax
asset was $0.7 million. Our subsidiaries in the U.S. and the UK have estimated
total available carry-forward tax losses of $7,139,000 and $795,000
respectively, to be offset against future taxable profit for 16-20 years and an
indefinite period, respectively. As of December 31, 2004, we recorded a full
valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of our future realization of the tax
assets.

         Goodwill

         Goodwill represents the excess of the costs over the net fair value of
the assets of the businesses acquired. Goodwill acquired in a business
combination on or after July 1, 2001 may not be amortized and we ceased to
amortize goodwill acquired in prior periods beginning January 2002.

         We test goodwill impairment on acquisition and at least annually
thereafter or between annual tests in certain circumstances, we write down
goodwill when impaired, rather than amortizing it as previous accounting
standards required. Goodwill attributable to each of the reporting units is
tested for impairment by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit with
its carrying value. Fair value is determined using discounted cash flow.

          Significant estimates used in the methodologies include estimates of
future cash flows, future short-term and long-term growth rates and weighted
average cost of capital for each of the reportable units. During 2002, 2003 and
2004, no impairment losses were identified.

         As of December 31, 2004, our goodwill amounted to $4,286,000, which
principally relates to our Perimeter security systems segment.

         Impairment of long lived assets

         Our long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles are reviewed
for impairment in whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of a group of assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of a
group of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying
amount of the group of asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to
be generated by the group of assets. If such group of assets is considered to be
impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the
carrying amount of the group of assets exceeds their fair value. During 2002,
2003 and 2004, no impairment losses were identified.

                                       33

         Financial statements in U.S. dollars

         A significant portion of our revenues is generated in dollars.
Financing and investing activities including credit, loans, equity transactions
and cash investments are executed in dollars. We believe that the dollar is the
primary currency of the economic environment in which we operate. Thus, our
functional and reporting currency is the dollar. The dollar was also determined
to be the functional currency of our U.S.- based subsidiaries.

         Monetary accounts maintained in currencies other than the dollar are
remeasured into dollars. All transaction gains and losses from the remeasured
monetary balance sheet items are reflected in the statement of income as
financial income or expenses, as appropriate.

         The financial statements of all our foreign subsidiaries, excluding our
U.S. subsidiaries, whose functional currency is their local currency, have been
translated into dollars. All balance sheet accounts have been translated using
the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Statement of income
amounts have been translated using the average exchange rate for the period. The
resulting translation adjustments are reported as a component of shareholders'
equity in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

         Accordingly, we had accumulated foreign currency translation income of
approximately $1.3 million and $2.3 million that were included as part of
"accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" within our balance sheets at
December 31, 2003 and 2004, respectively. During 2002, 2003 and 2004, foreign
currency translation income of $288,000, $2,292,000, and $1,057,000
respectively, were included under "accumulated other comprehensive income
(loss)." Had we determined that the functional currency of our subsidiaries (not
including our U.S. subsidiaries) was the dollar, these gains would have
increased our income for each of the years presented.

         Concentrations of credit risk

         Financial instruments that are potentially subject to concentrations of
credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, short and
long-term bank deposits, structured notes, unbilled accounts receivable, trade
receivables and long-term trade receivables.

         Of our cash and cash equivalents and short-term and long-term bank
deposits at December 31, 2004, $12 million are invested in major Israeli and
U.S. banks, approximately $3 million is invested in other banks, mainly with
Deutsche Bank and RBC Royal Bank and we hold a structured note in the principal
amount of $3 million that was issued by the Royal Bank of Scotland. Cash and
cash equivalents in the United States may be in excess of insured limits and are
not insured in other jurisdictions. We believe that the financial institutions
that hold our investments are financially sound and, accordingly, minimal credit
risk exists with respect to these investments.

         The short term and long term trade receivables and the unbilled
accounts receivable of our company and our subsidiaries are derived from sales
to large and solid organizations located mainly in Israel, the United States,
Canada and Europe. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and to
date have not experienced any material losses. An allowance for doubtful
accounts is determined with respect to those amounts that we have determined to
be doubtful of collection and by a general reserve. In certain circumstances, we
may require letters of credit, other collateral or additional guarantees. As of
December 31, 2004, the allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to $320,000.

         Derivative instruments

         We recognize our derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities
in our statement of financial position at fair value. The accounting for changes
in the fair value (i.e., gains or losses) of a derivative

                                       34



<PAGE>


instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a
hedging relationship and further, on the type of hedging relationship. For those
derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, a
company must designate the hedging instrument, based upon the exposure being
hedged, as a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge or a hedge of a net investment in
a foreign operation.

         We designate our derivative instruments as cash flow hedges (i.e.,
hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that is
attributable to a particular risk). The effective portion of the gain or loss on
the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive
income and reclassified into earnings in the same line item associated with the
forecasted transaction in the same period or periods during which the hedged
transaction affects earnings.

         To protect against the reduction in value of forecasted foreign
currency cash flows resulting from certain sale arrangements, we entered into
forward contracts during 2003 and 2004 in order to hedge portions of our
forecasted revenue denominated in Euro. When the dollar strengthens
significantly against the Euro, the decline in value of future Euro revenue is
offset by gains in the value of the forward contracts designated as hedges.
Conversely, when the dollar weakens, the increase in the value of future Euro
cash flows is offset by losses in the value of the forward contracts.

         During the year ended December 31, 2004, we recognized a net loss of
$932,000 related to the effective portion of our hedging instruments and a net
loss of $19,000 related to the portion of the hedging instrument excluded from
the assessment of hedge ineffectiveness.

         We expect that during the next 12 months we will reclassify $649,000 of
net losses on derivative instruments from unrealized losses on forward contracts
to earnings due to actual sales and related payments.

         Fair value of financial instruments

         The following methods and assumptions were used by us and our
subsidiaries in estimating the fair value of our financial instruments:

          o    The  carrying  amounts of cash and cash  equivalents,  short-term
               bank deposits,  trade receivables,  unbilled accounts receivable,
               short-term bank credit and trade payables  approximate their fair
               value due to the short-term maturity of such instruments.

          o    The carrying amount of our long-term trade receivables, long-term
               bank deposits and structured notes  approximate their fair value.
               The  fair  value  was  estimated  using   discounted  cash  flows
               analyses,  based on our  investment  rates for  similar  types of
               investment arrangements.

          o    The  carrying  amounts of our  long-term  debt are  estimated  by
               discounting  the future cash flows using current  interest  rates
               for loans of similar  terms and  maturities.  As of December  31,
               2003, the fair value of our long-term borrowings was $ 5,564,000,
               compared to the carrying  amount of $  5,714,000.  As of December
               31,  2004,  the fair  value  of our  long-term  borrowings  was $
               5,318,000, compared to the carrying amount of $5,349,000.

          o    The fair  value of  foreign  currency  contracts  (used for hedge
               purposes)  is  estimated   by  obtaining   current   quotes  from
               investment bankers.

Results of Operations

         Due to the nature of our customers and products, our revenues are often
generated from a relatively small number of large orders. Consequently,
individual orders from individual customers can represent a substantial portion
of our revenues in any one period and significant orders by any customer during
one period may not be followed by further orders from the same customer in
subsequent periods. Our revenues and operating results may, therefore, vary
substantially from period to period. Consequently, we do not believe that our
revenues and operating results should necessarily be judged on a
quarter-to-quarter comparative basis.

         The following table presents, for the periods indicated, certain
financial data expressed as a percentage of revenues:

Years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003

         Revenues. Revenues increased by 2.7% to $61 million in the year ended
December 31, 2004, as compared with $59.4 million in the year ended December 31,
2003. Revenues from sales of perimeter systems were $46.3 million in 2004, as
compared with $51.1 million in 2003, a decrease of 9%, as a result of a decrease
of approximately $10.4 million in the seam-line project, which made a major
contribution to our revenues in 2003 and was halted in 2004 due to litigation in
Israel. Revenues from security turnkey projects increased by 69% to $11.4
million in 2004, as compared with $6.7 million in 2003. One of our main projects
in 2004 was the protection of the Otopeni International Airport in Romania.
Based on our backlog of approximately $25 million and our assessment of the
market, we anticipate that our rate of revenue growth will increase in 2005.

         Cost of revenues. Cost of revenues reached $33.7 million in the year
ended December 31, 2004, as compared with $33.4 million in the year ended
December 31, 2003. Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues was 55% in 2004,
as compared with 56% in 2003. We anticipate that our cost of revenues as a
percentage of revenues will remain at the same level in 2005.

         Gross profit. Gross profit increased to $27.2 million in the year ended
December 31, 2004, as compared with $26.0 million for the year ended December
31, 2003, primarily as a result of our increased revenues.

         Research and development expenses, net. Research and development
expenses, net for the year ended December 31, 2004 were $4.7 million, as
compared with $4.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, a decrease of
2%. Research and development expenses, net amounted to 7.7% of revenues in 2004,
as compared with 8% in 2003. Royalty bearing grants and investment tax credits
decreased to $405,000 in 2004 compared to $355,000 in 2003. We expect that our
net research and development expenditures will continue at the same level in
2005 as in 2004.

         Selling and marketing expenses, net. Selling and marketing expenses,
net were $12.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, as compared with
$11.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, an increase of 9.4%. The
increase in selling and marketing expenses in 2004 was primarily due to
increased marketing and selling expenses for our newly developed products,
especially the DreamBox(R), and the increase in our revenues from projects,
mainly our project in Otopeni International Airport in Romania. Selling and
marketing expenses amounted to 20.8% of revenues in 2004, as compared with 19.5%
in 2003. We expect that our selling and marketing expenses will increase in 2005
at the same rate as any increase in revenues, but will not change materially as
a percentage of revenues.

         General and administrative expenses. General and administrative
expenses were $5.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 compared to $5.3
million for the year ended December 31, 2003. General and administrative
expenses amounted to 9.5% of revenues in 2004, compared to 8.9% in 2003. The
increase in general and administrative expenses was due to an $0.2 million
increase in the amortization of deferred stock compensation and an increase in
expenses incurred by Smart due to a $0.2 million increase in rent and
depreciation expenses arising from its relocation to a new facility. We expect
that our general and administrative expenses will increase in 2005 due to the
costs associated with our implementation of the internal controls required under
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

         Award granted by principal shareholders. Our two principal shareholders
awarded our employees $1.2 million out of their personal funds in celebration of
our twentieth anniversary. According to generally accepted accounting principles
in the United States, such award was recorded in our second quarter statement of
income as an expense, although it did not affect our shareholders' equity nor
our statement of cash flows.

         Financial income (expenses), net. Financial expenses, net for the year
ended December 31, 2004 were $762,000, as compared with $1 million for the year
ended December 31, 2003. This decrease in financial expenses was due to the
decrease in the rate of devaluation of the U.S. dollar against the Canadian
Dollar and the NIS. Our major operations are located in Canada and Israel.

Years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002

         Revenues. Revenues increased by 38% to $59.4 million in the year ended
December 31, 2003, as compared with $43 million in the year ended December 31,
2002. Revenues from sales of perimeter systems were $51.1 million in 2003, as
compared with $36.4 million in 2002, an increase of 40%. Revenues from security
turnkey projects increased by 26% to $6.7 million in 2003, as compared with $5.3
million in 2002. Our main projects in 2003 included the installation of
intrusion detection systems along the seam-line between Israel and the West Bank
and the protection of the Otopeni International Airport in Romania. The
devaluation of the U.S. dollar against the Canadian dollar and the NIS increased
by approximately $2 million the revenues that are linked to those currencies in
terms of U.S. dollars.

         Cost of revenues. Cost of revenues reached $33.4 million in the year
ended December 31, 2003, as compared with $23.9 million in the year ended
December 31, 2002. Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues was 56% in 2003,
remaining at the same level as in 2002.

         Gross profit. Gross profit increased to $26.0 million in the year ended
December 31, 2003, as compared with $19.0 million for the year ended December
31, 2002, primarily as a result of our increased revenues.

         Research and development expenses, net. Research and development
expenses, net were $4.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2003, as compared
with $3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, an increase of 53%.
Research and development expenses, net amounted to 8% of revenues in 2003, as
compared with 7% of revenues in 2002. Royalty bearing grants and investment tax
credits decreased to $355,000 in 2003, as compared with $622,000 in 2002 due to
the decrease of royalty bearing grants received from the OCS. The increase in
our research and development expenses was attributable to our development of
three new products that were launched in the beginning of 2004.

         Selling and marketing expenses, net. Selling and marketing expenses,
net were $11.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2003, as compared with
$8.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2002, an increase of 34%. The
increase in selling and marketing expenses in 2003 was primarily due to the
increase in our revenues. Selling and marketing expenses amounted to 20% of
revenues in both 2003 and 2002.

         General and administrative expenses. General and administrative
expenses were $5.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2003, as compared with
$4.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2002. General and administrative
expenses amounted to 9% of revenues in 2003, compared to 11% in 2002.

         Financial income (expenses), net. Financial expenses, net were $1.0
million in the year ended December 31, 2003, as compared with financial income
of $199,000 in the year ended December 31, 2002. This increase in financial
expenses was due to the devaluation of the U.S. dollar against the Canadian
Dollar and the NIS Our major operations are located in Canada and Israel.

Seasonality

         Our operating results are characterized by a seasonal pattern, with a
higher volume of revenues towards the end of the year. This pattern, which is
expected to continue, is mainly due to two factors:

          o    our  customers  are  mainly  budget-oriented  organizations  with
               lengthy decision processes which tend to mature late in the year;
               and

          o    due to weather and other conditions, revenues are often postponed
               from the first quarter to subsequent quarters.

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

         Exchange rate fluctuations between the NIS and the dollar, particularly
larger periodic devaluations, may have an impact on our profitability and
period-to-period comparison of our results. In 2001 and 2002, the rate of
devaluation of the NIS against the dollar was 9.3% and 7.3%, respectively, while
in 2003 and 2004 the NIS appreciated in value in relation to the dollar by 7.6%
and 1.6%, respectively. A portion of our expenses, primarily labor expenses, is
incurred in NIS and a part of our revenues are quoted in NIS. Additionally,
certain assets, as well as a portion of our liabilities, are denominated in NIS.
Our results may be adversely affected by the devaluation of the NIS in relation
to the dollar (or if such devaluation is on lagging basis), if our revenues in
NIS are higher than our expenses in NIS and/or the amount of our assets in NIS
are higher than our liabilities in NIS. Alternatively, our results may be
adversely affected by an appreciation of the NIS in relation to the dollar (or
if such appreciation is on a lagging basis), if the amount of our expenses in
NIS are higher than the amount of our revenues in NIS and/or the amount of our
liabilities in NIS are higher than our assets in NIS.

         The following table presents information about the rate of devaluation
of the NIS against the dollar:

                                                               Israeli inflation

   ------------      -----------------     ---------------     -----------------
       2000                  0                   (2.7)                 2.7
       2001                  1.4                  9.3                 (7.9)
       2002                  6.5                  7.3                 (0.8)
       2003                 (1.9)                (7.6)                 5.7
       2004                  1.2                 (1.6)                 2.8

         Because exchange rates between the NIS and the dollar fluctuate
continuously, exchange rate fluctuations, particularly larger periodic
devaluations, may have an impact on our profitability and period-to-period
comparisons of our results. We are also subject to exchange rate fluctuations
related to our activities in Canada. During the three years ended December 31,
2004, foreign currency fluctuations had an adverse impact on our results of
operations, and our foreign exchange gains (losses), net were $478,000,
($569,000) and ($120,000), respectively. We cannot assure you that in the future
our results of operations may not be materially adversely affected by currency
fluctuations.

         We periodically enter into foreign exchange contracts to offset the
risk of currency exchange rate fluctuations in connection with certain revenues.
During 2003 and 2004, we entered into forward contracts in order to hedge a
portion of our forecasted revenues denominated in euro. These forward contracts
are designated as cash flows hedges, as defined by SFAS No. 133, as amended, and
we believe are effective as a hedge for these revenues when the revenues are
recorded. The effective portion of the derivative instruments is included in
revenues and in financial expenses in the statements of operations.

         We expect that during the next 12 months we will reclassify $649,000 of
net losses on derivative instruments from unrealized losses on forward contracts
to earnings due to actual sales and related payments.

Political Conditions

         Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, a number of
armed conflicts have taken place between Israel and its Arab neighbors, and a
state of hostility, varying from time to time in intensity and degree, has led
to security and economic problems for Israel. In 1979 Israel signed a peace
agreement with Egypt under which full diplomatic relations were established. In
October 1994 a peace treaty was signed between Israel and Jordan which provides,
among other things, for the commencement of full diplomatic relations between
the two countries. To date, there are no peace treaties between Israel and Syria
or Lebanon.

         Since 1993, several agreements have been signed between Israel and the
Palestinian representatives concerning conditions in the West Bank and Gaza and
outlining several interim Palestinian self-government arrangements. The
implementation of these agreements have been subject to difficulties and delays.

         Since September 2000, relations between Israel and the Palestinian
Authority have deteriorated and there has been a marked increase in violence,
civil unrest and hostility, including armed clashes, between the State of Israel
and the Palestinians, and acts of terror have been committed inside Israel and

                                       39

<PAGE>


against Israeli targets in the West Bank and Gaza. Recently, the Israeli
government has resolved to unilaterally evacuate all the Jewish settlements in
Gaza Strip, and a few settlements in the West Bank. In addition, following the
death of Yasser Arafat, the Palestinian Authority has established a new regime
which vowed to take active actions against terrorism and caused all Palestinian
terror organizations to commit to halt the execution of acts of terror in
Israel. Such commitment has not been completely observed. However, there is no
indication as to how long the current hostilities will last or whether there
will be any further escalation. Any further escalation in these hostilities or
any future armed conflict, political instability or violence in the region may
have a negative effect on our business condition, harm our results of operations
and adversely affect our share price.

         Furthermore, there are a number of countries that restrict business
with Israel or Israeli companies. Restrictive laws or policies of those
countries directed towards Israel or Israeli businesses may have an adverse
impact on our operations, our financial results or the expansion of our
business.

         In addition, some of our employees in Israel are subject to being
called upon to perform military service in Israel, and their absence may have an
adverse effect upon our operations. Generally, unless exempt, male adult
citizens and permanent residents of Israel under the age of 40 are obligated to
perform up to 36 days of military reserve duty annually and all such residents
are subject to being called to active duty at any time under emergency
circumstances. While we have operated effectively under these requirements since
we began operations, we cannot assess the full impact of these requirements on
our workforce or business if conditions should change, and we cannot predict the
effect on us of any expansion or reduction of these obligations.

         To date, no executive officer or key employee has been recruited for
military service for any significant time period. Any further escalation of the
hostilities between Israel and the Palestinian Authority into a full-scale
conflict might require more significant military reserve service by some of our
employees, which may have a material adverse effect on our business.

Economic Conditions

         In recent years Israel has been going through a period of recession in
economic activity, resulting in low growth rates and growing unemployment. Our
operations could be adversely affected if the economic conditions in Israel
continue to deteriorate. In addition, due to significant economic measures
proposed by the Israeli Government, there have been several general strikes and
work stoppages in 2003 and 2004, affecting all banks, airports and ports. These
strikes have had an adverse effect on the Israeli economy and on business,
including our ability to deliver products to our customers.

         The domestic security situation in Israel and the global slowdown in
demand for high-tech imports continued to be the main factors affecting economic
activity in Israel in 2002 and 2003. Nevertheless, in the second half of 2003,
the business sector's activity showed signs of recovery, based on the rise in
export and private consumption. Toward the end of 2003, budgetary restraint was
exercised as a result of the economic program. The economic program placed much
emphasis on immediately reducing the deficit and on measures expected to lead to
its permanent reduction, and it therefore boosted the credibility of the fiscal
policy and placed the economy on a declining budget deficit path.

         During 2004, the expansion of the economic activity and growth that the
Israeli economy experienced since the second half of 2003 continued and
unemployment decreased slightly. During this period inflation reached a rate of
1.2%, and the level expected by the Bank of Israel for the next 12 months is
between 1% and 3%. Interest rates have remained level throughout the year at
approximately 4.1%.

         The Israeli government's monetary policy contributed to relative price
and exchange rate stability in recent years, despite fluctuating rates of
economic growth and a high rate of unemployment. There can

                                       40

be no assurance that the Israeli government will be successful in its attempts
to keep prices and exchange rates stable.

Trade Agreements

         Israel is a member of the United Nations, the International Monetary
Fund, the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the
International Finance Corporation. Israel is a signatory to the General
Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, which provides for reciprocal lowering of trade
barriers among its members. In addition, Israel has been granted preferences
under the Generalized System of Preferences from the U.S., Australia, Canada and
Japan. These preferences allow Israel to export products covered by such
programs either duty-free or at reduced tariffs.

         Israel and the European Union Community concluded a Free Trade
Agreement in July 1975 which confers certain advantages on Israeli exports to
most European countries and obligates Israel to lower its tariffs on imports
from these countries over a number of years. In 1985, Israel and the U.S.
entered into an agreement to establish a free trade area. The free trade area
has eliminated all tariff and specified non-tariff barriers on most trade
between the two countries. On January 1, 1993, an agreement between Israel and
the European Free Trade Association, known as EFTA, which includes Austria,
Finland, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland, established a
free-trade zone between Israel and the EFTA nations. In November 1995, Israel
entered into a new agreement with the European Union, which includes
redefinement of rules of origin and other improvements, including providing for
Israel to become a member of the research and technology programs of the
European Union. In recent years, Israel has established commercial and trade
relations with a number of other nations, including China, India, Russia, Turkey
and other nations in Eastern Europe and Asia.

         Israel receives significant amounts of economic assistance from the
United States, averaging approximately $3 billion annually over the last several
years. We cannot assure you that U.S. economic assistance will continue at or
near amounts received in the past. If U.S. economic assistance is eliminated or
reduced significantly, the Israeli economy could suffer material adverse
consequences which could have a material adverse impact on our financial
condition and results of operations.

Effective Corporate Tax Rate

         The general Israeli corporate tax rate was reduced in June 2004 from
36% to 35% for the 2004 tax year, 34% for the 2005 tax year, 32% for the 2006
tax year and 30% for the 2007 tax year and thereafter. However, certain of our
manufacturing facilities have been granted "Approved Enterprise" status under
the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959, as amended, commonly
referred to as the Investment Law, and, consequently, are eligible, subject to
compliance with specified requirements, for tax benefits beginning when such
facilities first generate taxable income. The tax benefits under the Investment
Law are not available with respect to income derived from products manufactured
outside of Israel. We have derived, and expect to continue to derive, a
substantial portion of our income from our Approved Enterprise facilities.
Subject to certain restrictions, we are entitled to a tax exemption in respect
of income derived from our approved facilities for a period of two years,
commencing in the first year in which such income is earned, and will be
entitled to a reduced tax rate of 15% to 25% for an additional three to eight
years if we qualify as a foreign investors' company. If we do not qualify as a
foreign investors' company, we will instead be entitled to a reduced rate of 25%
for an additional five years, rather than eight years. A foreign investors'
company is defined in the Investment Law as a company in which more than 25% of
its shareholders are non-Israeli residents. Pursuant to the Investment Law, a
foreign investors' company may enjoy benefits for a period of up to ten years,
or twelve years if it meets certain export criteria stipulated in the Investment
Law (the actual length of the benefits period is graduated based on the
percentage of foreign ownership).

         Our effective corporate tax rate may substantially exceed the Israeli
tax rate. Our U.S. subsidiaries will generally be subject to applicable federal,
state, local and foreign taxation, and we may also be subject to taxation in the
other foreign jurisdictions in which we own assets, have employees or conduct
activities. Because of the complexity of these local tax provisions, it is not
possible to anticipate the actual combined effective corporate tax rate, which
will apply to us.

         As of December 31, 2004, our subsidiaries in the U.S. and the United
Kingdom had total net available carry forward tax losses of approximately $8
million. A full valuation allowance was recorded due to the uncertainty of the
tax assets' future realization. Utilization of U.S. net operating losses may be
subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the "change in ownership"
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and similar state tax law
provisions. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating
losses before utilization.

B.   Liquidity and Capital Resources.

General

         Our ongoing liquidity requirements arise primarily from our need to
service debt and provide working capital. From our inception until our initial
public offering in March 1993, we financed our activities mainly through cash
flow from operations and bank loans. In March 1993, we received proceeds of
$9,837,000 from an initial public offering of 1,380,000 ordinary shares. In
February 1997, we raised $9,440,000 from a follow-on offering of 2,085,000
ordinary shares. The proceeds from these offerings together with cash flow from
operations and our credit facilities are our main sources of working capital.

         On April 19, 2005, we completed a registered direct offering of
1,700,000 of our ordinary shares. The ordinary shares were sold to unaffiliated
institutional investors at a purchase price of $9.50 per share and to affiliated
investors at a purchase price of $9.92 per share (the closing price of the
ordinary shares on the Nasdaq National Market on April 14, 2005) for aggregate
gross proceeds of approximately $16.3 million.

         Our working capital at December 31, 2004 was $21.6 million compared to
$21.4 million at December 31, 2003. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to $12
million at December 31, 2004 compared to $4.4 million at December 31, 2003. On a
proforma basis our working capital at March 31, 2005 including proceeds of the
April registered direct offering was $36.5 million. Short-term and long-term
bank deposits and structured notes amounted to $6 million at December 31, 2004
compared to $12.1 million at December 31, 2003. Our cash and cash equivalents,
short and long-term bank deposits and a structured note are held mainly in U.S.
dollars.

         We expect to fund our short-term liquidity needs, including our
obligations under our credit facilities, other contractual agreements and any
other working capital requirements, from cash and cash equivalents, operating
cash flow and our credit facilities. We believe that our current cash and cash
equivalents, including bank deposits, structured note and our expected cash flow
from operations in 2005 will be sufficient to meet our planned and potential
cash requirements through 2006.

         Net cash provided from operating activities was $3.7 million for the
year ended December 31, 2004 compared to $1.7 million for the years ended
December 31, 2003 and net cash used from operating activities of $1.9 million
for the year ended December 31, 2002. The increase in cash from operations was
primarily due to interest received on short and long term bank deposits,
payments received from trade receivable mainly from the MOD and a customer in
Azerbaijan and a decrease in inventories. Purchases of property and equipment in
2002, 2003 and 2004 were $1.5 million, $3.2 million and $4.9 million,
respectively. Capital expenditures in 2001, 2002 and 2003 were principally for
equipment for Smart, computers and other machinery and equipment. We estimate
that our capital expenditures for 2005 will

                                       42



<PAGE>


total approximately $5.5 million, of which 8% will be spent in Israel, 90% in
the U.S. and Canada and 2% in other countries. We expect to finance these
expenditures primarily from our cash and cash equivalents, operating cash flow
and our credit facilities. However, the actual amount of our capital
expenditures for 2005 will depend on a variety of factors, including general
economic conditions, changes in the demand for our products and the risks and
uncertainties involved in doing business in Israel.

Credit Lines and Other Debt

         We currently have credit lines with Bank Leumi Le-Israel B.M., or BLL,
Union Bank of Israel Ltd., or Union Bank, United Mizrahi Bank Ltd., or UMB, and
Bank Hapoalim B.M. totaling $24 million in the aggregate.  There are no
restrictions as to our use of each of these credit lines.  We agreed not to
pledge any of our assets without the consent of these banks.  In addition, in
connection with two of these credit lines, a fixed charge was placed on our
physical plant in Israel by each of BLL and Union Bank, each of which ranks
pari-passu with the other.

         We have undertaken to maintain the following financial ratios and terms
in respect of our credit lines with each of BLL, Union Bank and UMB:

          o    A  ratio  of at  least  40% of  shareholders'  equity  out of the
               consolidated total assets;

          o    Minimal  annual  consolidated  net  income  in the  amount  of $1
               million; and

          o    The  same  shareholders  maintain  the  core  of  control  in our
               company.

         As of December 31, 2004, we were in compliance with these ratios and
terms. If we fail to fulfill our undertakings and covenants as aforesaid, these
three banks will be entitled to demand the immediate repayment of any of our
outstanding indebtedness to them and may terminate our credit lines with them.
Our loans under these credit lines are generally denominated in dollars.
However, we may occasionally have short-term NIS-denominated loans.

         In addition, our subsidiaries currently have credit lines with Bank
Leumi USA, Royal Bank of Canada and Deutsche Bank totaling $9.2 million in the
aggregate.

         Our Canadian subsidiary, Senstar Stellar Corporation, or Senstar, has
undertaken to maintain general covenants and the following financial ratios and
terms in respect of its used credit lines:

          o    A quick ratio of not less than 1.25;

          o    A ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth of not greater
               than 0.75; and

          o    Tangible net worth of at least $9 million.

         As of December 31, 2004, Senstar was in compliance with these ratios
and terms.

         As of December 31, 2004, we had approximately $5 million available
under our credit lines. In addition, our subsidiaries had approximately $1.4
million available under their credit lines.

         As of December 31, 2004, we had outstanding under our used credit
lines:

          o    short-term  NIS-denominated  loans of approximately $5.6 million,
               bearing an average interest at a rate of 5.47%;

                                       43



<PAGE>


          o    short-term   dollar-denominated   loans  of  approximately   $8.6
               million, bearing an average interest at a rate of 4.08%;

          o    several bank performance and advance payment guarantees  totaling
               approximately $2.8 million, at an annual cost of 0.5 %-1.0 %; and

          o    forward contracts of approximately $2.1 million.

         As of December 31, 2004, Senstar, had outstanding, in the aggregate,
short-term Canadian dollar denominated loans of US$1.5 million, bearing interest
at a rate of Canadian Prime plus 0.5% (4.75% at December 31, 2004). This loan is
collateralized by a general security agreement.

         As of December 31, 2004, our subsidiaries had outstanding, in the
aggregate, $5.3 million in long-term loans as follows:

          o    $2.5  million,  bearing  interest at an annual rate of 3.1%.  The
               interest  on the  outstanding  balance  under  this  loan  is due
               monthly. This loan is due in one installment in April 2006;

          o    $500,000,  bearing  interest  at  an  annual  rate  of  3.5%  and
               collateralized  by the  assets  of our US  subsidiary,  Perimeter
               Products  Inc., or PPI. The interest on the  outstanding  balance
               under this borrowing is due quarterly,  with the principal due in
               one installment in April 2006;

          o    $500,000,  bearing  interest  at an  annual  rate  of  3.05%  and
               collateralized  by  PPI's  assets.   This  loan  is  due  in  one
               installment in April 2006; and

          o    $1.8 million  mortgage loan to PPI,  bearing  interest at a fixed
               rate of 8.25%.  The mortgage is due in 18 quarterly  installments
               of $64,700,  commencing  February  2001,  with a final payment of
               approximately  $1.8 million due in November  2005.  In connection
               with  this  mortgage  loan,  PPI  has  granted  the  bank a first
               mortgage on its premises.  In addition,  we have  guaranteed  the
               full amount of this mortgage loan.

         In connection with our non-mortgage related loans listed immediately
above, Bank Leumi USA placed a $3 million fixed charge on our deposits with that
bank.

         The two $500,000 promissory notes issued to Bank Leumi USA both have
covenants that require us to maintain $1 million in deposits at all times,
otherwise the interest rate on the notes become the bank's rate plus 0.25% until
the minimum deposit is maintained. We are also required to maintain tangible net
worth and subordinated debt in an amount of not less than $170,000 for one note
and not less than $100,000 for the second note.

         As of December 31, 2004, Senstar GmbH obtained bank performance
guarantees in the amount of $136,000.

Hapoalim from the proceeds of the April ordinary shares offering.

C.   Research and Development, Patents and Licenses.

Government Grants

         We participate in programs sponsored by the Israeli Government for the
support of research and development activities. In 2004, we obtained $228,000 of
royalty-bearing grants from the OCS for certain of our research and development
projects. We are obligated to pay royalties to the OCS, amounting to 3%-4.5% of
revenues derived from sales of the products funded with these grants, up to 100%
of the grants received, linked to the U.S. dollar. All grants received after
January 1, 1999 will also bear interest at the rate of LIBOR. The obligation to
pay these royalties is contingent on actual sales of the products, and in the
absence of such sales no payment is required.

         Royalties paid to the OCS amounted to $131,000, $80,000 and $61,000 in
the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively.

         As of December 31, 2004, we had a remaining contingent obligation to
pay royalties of approximately $1.9 million to the OCS upon the successful sale
of products developed using such research and development programs sponsored by
the OCS.

         The Israeli Government, through the Fund for the Encouragement of
Marketing Activities, awarded us grants for overseas marketing expenses. We are
obligated to pay royalties to this fund at the rate of 3% of the increase in
export sales, up to the amount of the grants we received. To date, we have
received $253,000 in grants from the Fund and, during 2002, 2003 and 2004, we
paid the Fund $53,000, $0 and $0, respectively, in royalties. As of December 31,
2004, we had a remaining contingent obligation to the Fund of $95,000.

Investment Tax Credit

         Senstar is eligible for investment tax credits on its research and
development activities and on certain current and capital expenditures. During
2002, 2003 and 2004, Senstar recognized $304,000, $216,000 and $176,000,
respectively, of investment tax credits as a reduction of research and
development expenses. Senstar has available investment tax credits of
approximately $436,000 to reduce future federal income taxes payable. These
credits will expire at various dates from 2012 through 2014. See also Item 4.B.
"Information on the Company-Business Overview-Research and Development;
Royalties."

D.   Trend Information.

         We cannot assure you that the MOD, IDF or any of our other major
customers will maintain their volume of business with us or that, if such volume
is reduced, other customers of similar volume will replace the lost business.
The loss of one or more of these existing customers without replacement by a
customer or customers of similar volume would have a material adverse effect on
our financial results.

         For additional discussion of the information required by this item see
"Operating and Financial Review and Prospects-Operating Results" and "Operating
and Financial Review and Prospects-Liquidity and Financial Resources" above.

E.   Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements.

         At December 31, 2004, we have guaranteed the advance payments and the
performance of our work to certain of our customers (usually government
entities). Such guarantees are required by contract for our performance during
the installation and operational period of projects throughout Israel and the
rest of the world. The guarantees for installation typically expire soon after
certain milestones are met and

                                       45



<PAGE>


guarantees for operations typically expire proportionally over the contract
period. Our maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to
make under our guarantees at December 31, 2004 was $2.9 million. We have not
recorded any liability for such amounts, as we expect that our performance will
be acceptable and to date, no guarantees have been exercised against us.

F.   Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations.

         Jacob Even-Ezra and Asaf Even-Ezra are father and son. Izhar Dekel is
Jacob Even-Ezra's son-in-law and Asaf Even-Ezra's brother-in-law. Other than
these relationships, there are no other family relationships among our directors
and senior executives.

         Itzhak Hoffi and Menachem Meron, who served as our outside directors
since June 2001 and as directors since 1996, vacated office in July 2004 as
their terms of office concluded in accordance with the provisions of the Israeli
Companies Law. Brigadier-General (Ret.) Emanuel Shaked who acted as our vice
president - Africa and Latin America marketing since 1986, retired effective
December 31, 2004.

B.   Compensation.

         During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, we paid aggregate
compensation to all of our officers and directors as a group (consisting then of
16 persons) of approximately $1.5 million. In addition, we have provided
automobiles to our executive officers at our expense. We have two key-man life
insurance policies for Izhar Dekel. We are the beneficiary of one of these
policies and certain of Mr. Dekel's family members are the beneficiaries of the
other policy. We bear the cost of each of these insurance policies. We also have
a key-man life insurance policy for Jacob Even-Ezra, for which we are the
beneficiary.

         Directors who are not officers of us or of any entity that beneficially
owns 5% or more of our ordinary shares, as well as our outside directors,
receive an annual fee of approximately $5,600 and an additional fee of
approximately $300 for each board or committee meeting that they attend.

          Under the Israeli Companies Law, the board of directors must approve
all compensation arrangements for the chief executive officer of the company,
and unless provided otherwise in the company's articles of association, all
compensation arrangements for officers and employees (other than the company's
directors) are subject to the chief executive officer's approval. Directors'
compensation arrangements (other than outside directors) also require audit
committee approval before board approval and shareholder approval. However,
pursuant to amendments to the Companies Regulations (Relief from Related Party
Transactions), 5760-2000, directors' compensation and employment arrangements do
not require, in certain circumstances, shareholder approval. In addition, under
these regulations, if the director or office holder is a controlling shareholder
of the company, then the employment and compensation arrangements of such
director or office holder do not require shareholder approval if such
arrangements meet certain criteria.

         An outside director is entitled to compensation as provided in
regulations promulgated under the Israeli Companies Law and is otherwise
precluded from receiving any other compensation, directly or indirectly, in
connection with such service.

         During 2004, we have granted options to purchase 94,500 ordinary shares
to two of our directors and executive officers. We have no service contracts
with any of our directors to provide services as a director that provide for
benefits upon termination of employment. However, we do have employment
agreements with certain of our directors in connection with their service as
employees.

C.   Board Practices.

         We are subject to the provisions of the Israeli Companies Law, which
became effective on February 1, 2000, superseding most of the provisions of the
Israeli Companies Ordinance (New Version), 5743-1983. The Israeli Companies Law
authorizes the Minister of Justice to adopt regulations exempting from the
provisions described below companies, such as us, whose shares are traded both
in Israel and outside of Israel.

                                       49

Election of Directors and Officers

         Our directors, other than our outside directors as described below, are
elected by our shareholders at our annual general meeting and hold office until
the next annual general meeting. All the members of our board of directors
(except the outside directors as detailed below) may be reelected upon
completion of their term of office. Our annual general meetings are held at
least once every calendar year, but not more than fifteen months after the last
preceding annual general meeting. In the intervals between our annual general
meetings, the board of directors may appoint new directors to fill vacancies.

         We do not follow the requirements of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules with
regard to the nomination process of directors, and instead, we follow Israeli
law and practice, in accordance with which our directors are recommended by our
board of directors for election by our shareholders. See below in this Item 6.C.
"Directors, Senior Management and Employees - Board Practices - NASDAQ
Exemptions for Foreign Private Issuers."

         Our officers serve at the discretion of the board of directors, subject
to the terms of any agreement between them and us and the provisions of the
Israeli Companies Law.

Directors' Service Contracts

         See Item 6.B. "Directors, Senior Management and Employees-Compensation"
above.

Alternate Directors

         Our articles of association provide that any director may, by written
notice to us, appoint another person to serve as an alternate director, subject
to the approval of the board of directors. Under the Israeli Companies Law, as
amended, any person may act as an alternate director, but if such person is a
member or an alternate member of any of the committees of the board of
directors, then the same person may not act as an alternate for other members of
the same committee. An alternate director may be appointed for one meeting or
for another specified period or until notice is given of the cancellation of the
appointment. To our knowledge, no director currently intends to appoint any
other person as an alternate director, except if the director is unable to
attend a meeting of the board of directors.

Independent and Outside Directors

         Under the Israeli Companies Law, companies incorporated under the laws
of Israel whose shares have been offered to the public in Israel or outside of
Israel are required to appoint two outside directors. The Israeli Companies Law
requires that the outside directors be residents of Israel. However, the
Minister of Justice of the State of Israel has promulgated regulations exempting
certain qualifying dual listed companies, such as us, from the applicability of
certain provisions of the Israeli Companies Law. The Companies Regulations
(Concessions for Public Companies Whose Shares are Registered in a Stock
Exchange outside Israel), 5760-2000, as amended, provides that a public company
whose shares have been offered to the public outside of Israel or were
registered on a stock exchange out of Israel prior to February 1, 2000; and were
registered on a stock exchange in Israel after such date, may appoint an outside
director who is not an Israeli resident.

         The Israeli Companies Law provides that a person may not be appointed
as an outside director if the person or the person's relative, partner, employer
or any entity under the person's control, has, as of the date of the person's
appointment to serve as an outside director, or had, during the two years
preceding that date, any affiliation with the company, any entity controlling
the company or any entity controlled by the company or by this controlling
entity. The term affiliation includes:

          o    an employment relationship;

                                       50



<PAGE>


          o    a business or professional  relationship  maintained on a regular
               basis;

          o    control; and

          o    service  as an office  holder,  excluding  service  as an outside
               director of a company  that is offering  its shares to the public
               for the first time.

         The Israeli Companies Law further provides that if at the time the
outside directors are appointed a company's board of directors is comprised
solely of members of the same gender, then at least one of the outside directors
must be of a different gender than the other directors.

         No person may serve as an outside director if the person's position or
other business creates, or may create, conflicts of interest with such person's
responsibilities as an outside director. Until the lapse of two years from
termination of office, a company may not engage an outside director to serve as
an office holder and cannot employ or receive services from that person, either
directly or indirectly, including through a corporation controlled by that
person.

         Outside directors are elected by a majority vote at a shareholders'
meeting, provided that either:

          o    the majority of shares voted on the matter including at least one
               third of the shares of non-controlling  shareholders voted at the
               meeting, vote in favor of the election; or

          o    the total  number of shares  voted  against  the  election of the
               outside  director  does not exceed one  percent of the  aggregate
               voting rights in the company.

         The initial term of an outside director is three years and may be
extended for an additional three years. Outside directors can be removed from
office only by the same special percentage of shareholders as can elect them, or
by a court, and then only if the outside directors cease to meet the statutory
qualifications with respect to their appointment or if they violate their duty
of loyalty to the company. Each of the outside directors is required to serve on
the company's audit committee. Each other committee of a company's board of
directors must include at least one outside director. An outside director is
entitled to compensation as provided in regulations under the Israeli Companies
Law and is prohibited from receiving any other compensation, directly or
indirectly, in connection with such service.

         In addition, under the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules promulgated pursuant to
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, effective as of July 31, 2005, a majority of our
board of directors must qualify as independent directors within the meaning of
the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules and our audit committee must have at least three
members and be comprised only of independent directors each of whom satisfies
the respective "independence" requirements of the Securities and Exchange
Commission and NASDAQ. Out of the eight directors serving on our board of
directors, five directors qualify as independent directors within the meaning of
the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules. Our board of directors has determined that Ms.
Winner and Mr. Kobrinsky qualify both as independent directors under the
Securities and Exchange Commission and NASDAQ requirements and as outside
directors under the Israeli Companies Law requirements. Our board of directors
has further determined that Messrs. Nuss, Perry, and Livne qualify as
independent directors under the Securities and Exchange Commission and NASDAQ
requirements.

NASDAQ Exemptions and Home Country Practices

         NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4350, or Rule 4350, was recently amended to
permit foreign private issuers, such as our company, to follow certain home
country corporate governance practices without the need to seek individual
exemptions from NASDAQ. Instead, a foreign private issuer must provide NASDAQ
with a letter from outside counsel in its home country certifying that the
issuer's corporate governance practices are not prohibited by home country law.
On June 29, 2005, we provided NASDAQ

                                       51



<PAGE>


with a notice of non-compliance with Rule 4350. We do not comply with the
following requirements of Rule 4350, and instead follow Israeli law and practice
in respect of such requirements:

          o    the  requirement  regarding the process of nominating  directors.
               Instead,  we follow  Israeli law and practice in accordance  with
               which our board of directors recommends the director nominees for
               election  by our  shareholders.  See  above  in  this  Item  6.C.
               "Directors,  Senior  Management and Employees - Board Practices -
               Election of Directors."

          o    the requirement regarding the compensation of our chief executive
               officer  and all other  executive  officers.  Instead,  we follow
               Israeli law and  practice in  accordance  with which our board of
               directors  must  approve all  compensation  arrangements  for our
               chief executive  officer and all  compensation  arrangements  for
               officers are subject to the chief executive  officer's  approval.
               See above in this Item 6.B.  "Directors,  Senior  Management  and
               Employees - Compensation."

          o    the  requirement  that our  independent  directors have regularly
               scheduled  meetings  at  which  only  independent  directors  are
               present.

          o    the requirement that we distribute to shareholders (and file with
               NASDAQ) copies of an annual report  containing  audited financial
               statements  of  our  company  and  its   subsidiaries   within  a
               reasonable  period  of  time  prior  to  our  annual  meeting  of
               shareholders.  We will make our financial statements available on
               our  website,  and  will  send it to  shareholders  upon  written
               request.

Audit Committee

         Our audit committee, which was established in accordance with Section
114 of the Israeli Companies Law and Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, assists our board of directors in overseeing the
accounting and financial reporting processes of our company and audits of our
financial statements, including the integrity of our financial statements,
compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, our independent public
accountants' qualifications and independence, the performance of our internal
audit function and independent public accountants, finding any defects in the
business management of our company for which purpose the audit committee may
consult with our independent auditors and internal auditor, proposing to the
board of directors ways to correct such defects, approving related-party
transactions as required by Israeli law, and such other duties as may be
directed by our board of directors.

         Our audit committee consists of three board members who satisfy the
respective "independence" requirements of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, NASDAQ and Israeli Law for audit committee members. Our audit
committee is currently composed of Ms. Anat Winner and Messrs. Shaul Kobrinsky,
and Jacob Nuss. The audit committee meets at least once each quarter. Our audit
committee charter is available on our website at www.magal-ssl.com.

         Under Israeli law, an audit committee may not approve an action or a
transaction with a controlling shareholder, or with an office holder, unless at
the time of approval two outside directors are serving as members of the audit
committee and at least one of the outside directors was present at the meeting
in which an approval was granted.

         Our audit committee reviewed our audited financial statements for the
year ended December 31, 2004 and members of the committee met with both
management and our external auditors to discuss those financial statements.
Management and the external auditors have represented to the audit committee
that the financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Members of the audit committee

                                       52



<PAGE>


have received from and discussed with the external auditors their written
disclosure and letter regarding their independence from our company as required
by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1. Members of the audit committee
also discussed with the external auditors any matters required to be discussed
by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61. Based upon these reviews and
discussions, the audit committee has recommended to the board of directors that
the audited financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 20-F
for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Internal Auditor

         Under the Israeli Companies Law, the board of directors must appoint an
internal auditor proposed by the audit committee. The role of the internal
auditor is to examine whether the company's actions comply with the law,
integrity and orderly business procedure. Under the Israeli Companies Law, the
internal auditor may not be an interested party, an office holder, or an
affiliate, or a relative of an interested party, office holder or affiliate, nor
may the internal auditor be the company's independent accountant or its
representative. Mr. Daniel Spira, CPA (Isr.) is our internal auditor.

Approval of Specific Related-Party Transactions

         The Israeli Companies Law imposes a duty of care and a duty of loyalty
on all office holders of a company, including directors and executive officers.
The duty of care requires an office holder to act with the level of competence
at which a reasonable office holder would employ under the same circumstances,
including. An office holder's duty of care includes a duty to use reasonable
means to obtain:

          o    information on the  appropriateness of a given action brought for
               his approval or performed by him by virtue of his position; and

          o    all other important information pertaining to these actions.

         The duty of loyalty requires an officer holder to act in good faith and
in the company's interest. The duty of loyalty includes a duty to:

          o    refrain from any conflict of interest  between the performance of
               his duties in the company and his personal affairs;

          o    refrain from any activity that is competitive with the company;

          o    refrain from  exploiting any business  opportunity of the company
               to receive a personal gain for himself or others; and

          o    disclose to the company any information or documents  relating to
               the  company's  affairs  which the office  holder has received by
               virtue of his position in the company.

         Each person listed as a director or executive officer in the table
under "Item 6.A. Directors, Senior Management and Employees -- Directors and
Senior Management" above is an office holder. Under the Israeli Companies Law,
all arrangements as to compensation of executive office holders who are not
directors require approval of the chief executive officer, and the compensation
of office holders who are directors must be approved by our audit committee,
board of directors and shareholders.

         The Israeli Companies Law requires that an office holder promptly
disclose any personal interest that he may have and all related material
information known to him in connection with any existing or proposed transaction
by the company. If the transaction is an extraordinary transaction, that is, a

                                       53

<PAGE>


transaction other than in the ordinary course of business, other than on market
terms, or likely to have a material impact on the company's profitability,
assets or liabilities, the office holder must also disclose any personal
interest held by:

          o    the office  holder's  spouse,  siblings,  parents,  grandparents,
               descendents, spouse's descendents and the spouses of any of these
               people; or

          o    any  corporation  in which the  office  holder is a 5% or greater
               shareholder,  director or general  manager or in which he has the
               right to appoint at least one director or the general manager.

         Under the Israeli Companies Law, once an office holder complies with
the above disclosure requirement, the board of directors may approve a
transaction between the company and an office holder, or a third party in which
an office holder has a personal interest, unless the articles of association
provide otherwise. A transaction that is adverse to the company's interest may
not be approved.

         In some cases, including in the case of an extraordinary transaction,
such a transaction, action and arrangement must be approved by the audit
committee and by the board of directors itself, and further shareholder approval
is required to approve the terms of compensation of an office holder who is a
director. An office holder who has a personal interest in a matter, which is
considered at a meeting of the board of directors or the audit committee, may
not be present during the board of directors or audit committee discussions and
may not vote on this matter, unless the majority of the members of the board or
the audit committee have a personal interest, as the case may be.

         Under the Israeli Companies Law, the disclosure requirements that apply
to an office holder also apply to a controlling shareholder of a public company.
A controlling shareholder is a shareholder that holds 25% or more of the voting
rights in a public company, provided no other shareholder owns more than 50% of
the voting rights in the company. Extraordinary transactions with a controlling
shareholder or in which a controlling shareholder has a personal interest,
(including private offerings in which a controlling shareholder has a personal
interest) and a transaction with a controlling shareholder or his relative
regarding terms of service and employment, require the approval of the audit
committee, the board of directors and the shareholders of the company. The
shareholder approval for such transactions must include either at least
one-third of the shareholders who have no personal interest in the transaction
and are present and voting on the matter, in person, by proxy or by written
ballot, at the meeting, or a majority of the voting power present and voting on
the matter, provided that the shareholders who have no personal interest in the
transaction who vote against the transaction do not represent more than one
percent of the voting rights in the company. For a discussion of certain Israeli
Companies Law regulations pertaining to tender offers by shareholders, see Item
10.B. "Additional Information-Memorandum and Articles of Association-Provisions
Restricting a Change in Control of Our Company."

         The Israeli Companies Law requires that every shareholder that
participates, either in person or by proxy, in a vote regarding a transaction
with a controlling member of the company indicate whether or not he or she has a
personal interest in the vote in question, the failure of which results in the
invalidation of that shareholder's vote. Regulations promulgated under the
Israeli Companies Law provide that this requirement does not apply to a company
whose shares are publicly traded outside of Israel if, pursuant to applicable
foreign securities laws, the company is required to distribute a proxy
statement.

         However, under the Companies Regulations (Relief From Related Party
Transactions), 5760-2000, promulgated pursuant to the Israeli Companies Law,
each of the following transactions between a company and its controlling
shareholder(s) does not require shareholder approval:

          o    the   extension   of  the  term  of  an  existing   related-party
               transaction;  provided  that the  original  transaction  was duly
               approved in accordance with the applicable provisions of

                                       54



<PAGE>




               the  Israeli  Companies  Law or the  Israeli  Securities  Law and
               regulations promulgated thereunder;

          o    a transaction  that has been approved by the audit  committee and
               the board of  directors  as being  solely for the  benefit of the
               company;

          o    a   transaction   between  the   company   and  its   controlling
               shareholder(s) or an entity in which the controlling  shareholder
               has a personal  interest,  provided that the audit  committee and
               the board of directors approve the transaction and determine that
               the transaction is in accordance with the terms defined in a duly
               approved frame-work  transaction.  A frame-work  transaction is a
               transaction  that  defines  the  general  terms  under  which the
               company  may,  in the  ordinary  course of  business,  enter into
               transactions of a similar type;

          o    a   transaction   between  the   company   and  its   controlling
               shareholder(s) or an entity in which the controlling  shareholder
               has a  personal  interest,  for the  purpose of  entering  into a
               transaction  with a third  party or to  submit  a joint  offer to
               conduct  business  with a third  party,  provided  that the audit
               committee   and  the  board  of  directors   have   approved  the
               transaction  and that the terms of the transaction in relation to
               the company are not  materially  different from those relating to
               the  controlling   shareholder(s)  or  an  entity  in  which  the
               controlling  shareholder  has a personal  interest,  taking  into
               account their proportionate participation in the transaction; and

          o    a transaction  between  companies that are controlled by the same
               controlling  shareholder  or between the company and an entity in
               which  the  controlling  shareholder  has  a  personal  interest,
               provided  that  for  each  public  company  involved,  the  audit
               committee and the board of directors find that the transaction is
               in  accordance  with market terms,  is in the ordinary  course of
               business and does not harm the welfare of the company.

         In addition, pursuant to amendment to these regulations, directors'
compensation and employment arrangements do not require shareholder approval,
provided certain criteria are met. Also, pursuant to this amendment, if the
director or the office holder is a controlling shareholder of the company, then
the employment and compensation arrangements of such director or office holder
do not require shareholder approval, provided certain criteria are met.

         The relief from having to obtain shareholder approval set forth above
will not apply, and shareholder approval will be required, if one or more
shareholders, holding at least 1% of the issued and outstanding share capital of
the company or of the company's voting rights, object to the grant of such
relief, provided that such objection is submitted to the company in writing not
later than seven days from the date of the filing of a report regarding the
adoption of such resolution by the company pursuant to the requirements of the
Israeli Securities Law (which reporting requirements are not applicable to us as
a "double foreign company").

         Further, since our ordinary shares are listed on the Tel Aviv Stock
Exchange, we are subject to additional provisions of the Israeli Companies Law,
as amended. These provisions require that the board of directors and
shareholders approve any private placement of securities by a public company
that will:

          o    increase the relative  holdings of a shareholder that holds 5% or
               more of that company's outstanding share capital; or

          o    cause any  person to  become,  as a result  of such  issuance,  a
               holder  of  more  than  5% of such  company's  outstanding  share
               capital.

                                       55



<PAGE>

         However, in accordance with the Companies Regulations (Relief From
Related Party Transactions), 5760-2000, shareholder approval is not required for
a private placement in which less than 20% of the voting rights in the company,
prior to such offer, are offered. For purposes of such exemption, the definition
of a private placement includes:

          o    private  placements that are part of the same transaction or that
               are contingent or conditioned upon a previous private  placement;
               and

          o    all private  placements  effected  by the issuer in the  previous
               twelve-month  period in which the same  parties,  or relatives or
               affiliates thereof,  were involved,  or the consideration thereof
               consists of rights to the same assets.

         These private placement exemptions do not apply to private placements
by a director or chief executive officer of the issuer or to a person or entity
that will become, as a result of such private placement, a controlling
shareholder of the issuer.

         The Israeli Companies Law further provides that a shareholder shall
refrain from oppressing other shareholders. In addition, any controlling
shareholder, any shareholder who knows that it possesses the power to determine
the outcome of a shareholder vote and any shareholder who, pursuant to the
provisions of a company's articles of association, has the power to appoint or
prevent the appointment of an office holder in the company, or has any other
power over the company, is under a duty to act with fairness towards the company
and can be personally liable for a breach of such duty.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers and Limitations of Liability

         The Israeli Companies Law provides that a company may not exonerate
office holders from liability for a breach of their duty of loyalty, but may
exonerate in advance office holders from their liability to the company, in
whole or in part, for a breach of his duty of care. However, a company may not
exculpate in advance a director from his liability to the company with respect
to a breach of his duty of care in the event of distributions. Our articles of
association allow us to exculpate any office holder from his or her liability to
us for breach of duty of care, to the maximum extent permitted by law, before
the occurrence giving rise to such liability.

          o    Additionally,  the Israeli  Companies Law provides that a company
               may, if permitted by its  articles of  association,  enter into a
               contract for the  insurance of the liability of any of its office
               holders with  respect to an act  performed by him in his capacity
               as an office holder, for: a breach of their duty of care to us or
               to another person;

          o    a breach of their duty of loyalty to us, provided that they acted
               in good faith and had reasonable grounds to assume that their act
               would not prejudice our interests; and

          o    a  financial  liability  imposed  upon  them in favor of  another
               person for an act  performed by them in their  capacity as office
               holders.

         Our articles of association provide that, subject to any restrictions
imposed by the Israeli Companies Law, we may enter into an insurance contract
providing coverage for the liability of any of our office holders for a breach
of his duty of care to us or to another person; breach of his duty of loyalty to
us, provided that the office holder acted in good faith and had reasonable cause
to assume that his act would not prejudice our interests; or a financial
liability imposed upon him in favor of another person.

         Further, the Israeli Companies Law permits a company, if its articles
of association so provide, to indemnify an office holder for acts or omissions
committed in his or her capacity as an office holder of the company; for:

                                       56

<PAGE>




          o    a financial  liability imposed on them in favor of another person
               by any judgment,  including a settlement or an arbitrator's award
               approved by a court; and

          o    reasonable   litigation  expenses,   including  attorneys'  fees,
               incurred by such office  holders or imposed upon them by a court,
               in connection with  proceedings  instigated by us against them or
               that are instigated on our behalf or by another  person,  or as a
               result of a criminal  charge from which they were  acquitted or a
               criminal  charge in which  they  were  convicted  for a  criminal
               offense that does not require proof of intent.

         Under the Israeli Companies Law, the shareholders of a company may
include in, or amend a company's articles of association to include, either of
the following:

          o    a  provision  authorizing  the  company  to grant in  advance  an
               undertaking  to indemnify  an office  holder,  provided  that the
               undertaking  is limited to  specified  classes of events that the
               board of directors  deem  foreseeable at the time of grant and is
               limited to an amount  determined  by the board of directors to be
               reasonable under the circumstances; or

          o    a provision authorizing the company to retroactively indemnify an
               office holder.

         Our articles of association provide that we may undertake to indemnify
in advance an office holder, against financial liability imposed on them in
favor of another person by any judgment, including a settlement or an
arbitrator's award approved by a court, and, reasonable litigation expenses,
including attorneys' fees, incurred by such office holders or imposed upon them
by a court, in connection with proceedings instigated by us against them or that
are instigated on our behalf or by another person, or as a result of a criminal
charge from which they were acquitted or a criminal charge in which they were
convicted for a criminal offense that does not require proof of intent, provided
that such undertaking is limited to events of a kind that can be expected as
determined by our board of directors when authorizing such undertaking, and with
respect to such amounts determined by our board of directors as reasonable in
the circumstances. Furthermore, under our articles of association, we may
indemnify any office holder, with respect to any past occurrence.

         Pursuant to a recent amendment to the Israeli Companies Law, a company
may indemnify any of its office holders for reasonable litigation costs incurred
by such office holder in connection with any investigation or other legal
proceeding instituted against him by a competent authority, provided that such
investigation or proceeding concluded without the filing of an indictment
against him or the imposition of any financial liability in lieu of criminal
proceedings, or concluded without the filing of an indictment against him and a
financial liability was imposed on him in lieu of criminal proceedings with
respect to a criminal offense that does not require proof of criminal intent.

         The Israeli Companies Law provides that a company may not indemnify an
office holder nor enter into an insurance contract which would provide coverage
for any monetary liability incurred as a result as a result of any of the
following:

          o    a breach by the office holder of his duty of loyalty unless, with
               respect to  insurance  coverage  or  indemnification,  the office
               holder acted in good faith and had a reasonable  basis to believe
               that the act would not prejudice the company;

          o    a breach by the office  holder of his duty of care if such breach
               was committed intentionally or recklessly,  unless the breach was
               committed only negligently;

          o    any act or omission  done with the intent to  unlawfully  yield a
               personal benefit; or

                                       57



<PAGE>




          o    any fine imposed on the office holder.

         Pursuant to the Israeli Companies Law, indemnification of, and
procurement of insurance coverage for, a company's office holders must be
approved by the audit committee and the board of directors. In the case of
directors, shareholder approval is also required.

         Our shareholders approved our entering into an agreement to indemnify
our office holders up to $5 million, in advance. We currently maintain a
directors and officers liability insurance policy with a per claim and aggregate
coverage limit of $5 million.

D.   Employees.

         As of December 31, 2004, we employed 303 full-time employees, of whom

         We are subject to various Israeli labor laws, collective bargaining
agreements entered into from time to time between the Manufacturers Association
and the Histadrut, as well as collective bargaining arrangements. These laws,
agreements and arrangements cover a wide range of areas, including minimum
employment standards, such as working hours, minimum wages, vacation, severance
pay and pension plans, and special issues, such as equal pay for equal work,
equal opportunity in employment and employment of youth and army veterans.
Certain of our employees are parties to individual employment agreements. We
generally provide our employees with benefits and working conditions beyond the
required minimums. Each of our subsidiaries provides a benefits package and
working conditions which are competitive with other firms in their area of
operations.

         Israeli law generally requires severance pay upon the retirement or
death of an employee or termination of employment without due cause.
Furthermore, Israeli employees and employers are required to pay predetermined
sums to the National Insurance Institute, which is similar to the U.S. Social
Security Administration, which amounts also include payments for national health
insurance.

         As of June 20, 2005, the directors and executive officers listed above,
as a group, held options to purchase 94,500 of our ordinary shares at a weighted
average exercise price of $7.66 per share, expiring in January 2009.

Stock Option Plan

         On October 27, 2003, our board of directors approved the 2003 Israeli
Share Option Plan ("the 2003 Plan") which was approved by our shareholders in
July 2004. The Board has elected to allot the options under Israel's capital
gain tax treatment.

         Under the 2003 Plan, stock options will be periodically granted to our
employees, directors, officers and consultants, in accordance with the decision
of our board of directors. Our board of directors has the authority to determine
the number of options, if any, which will be granted to each of the recipients,
the dates of the grant of such options, the date of their exercise as well as
their rate of conversion into shares in respect of each stock option, and the
purchase price thereof. Subject to shareholder approval, the 2003 Plan will be
effective for ten years and shall terminate in October 2013.

         Under the 2003 Plan, no option may be exercised before the second
anniversary of the date on which it was granted, and each option expires on or
before the fifth anniversary of the date on which it was granted. Pursuant to
the plan, any options that are cancelled or not exercised within the option
period will become available for future grants.

         Pursuant to the provisions of the 2003 Plan, if we issue a stock
dividend, the number of shares purchasable by any grantee upon the exercise of
options that were granted prior to the issuance of the stock dividend will be
correspondingly increased.

         As of December 31, 2004, options to purchase 105,000 shares were
outstanding and additional options to purchase 537,606 shares were available for
grant.

         Grants of stock options under the 2003 Plan are accounted for by us
over the exercise periods thereof as a compensation expense with a corresponding
credit to our contributed capital. Ordinary shares subject to options under the
2003 Plan are to be valued for this purpose at their market value at the time
the options are granted.

         On April 19, 2005 Mr. Kirsh, a trustee of the Eurona Foundation, Mira
Mag Inc.'s controlling shareholder, and Mr. Even-Ezra participated in the
offering of our ordinary shares and purchased 346,375 and 78,625 ordinary
shares, respectively, at a purchase price of $9.92 per ordinary share, the
closing price of our ordinary shares at the date of the offering.

Registration Rights Agreement

         In furtherance of the approval obtained at the extraordinary general
meeting of our shareholders held on November 20, 1995, we entered into a
registration rights agreement, dated as of November 18, 1996, with Mira Mag, IAI
and Jacob Even-Ezra. Pursuant to the registration rights agreement, upon the
request of any of these principal shareholders, we are required to prepare and
file, at our expense, with the Securities and Exchange Commission, a shelf
registration statement for the ordinary shares held by them. In addition, we
will indemnify them and any underwriter of such ordinary shares against certain
civil liabilities under the Securities Act in connection with an offering of
such ordinary shares. Pursuant to the registration rights agreement, in July
1998 we filed a registration statement on Form F-3, File No. 333-9050, for the
ordinary shares held by Mira Mag.

Sales to a Former Principal Shareholder

         We sell our perimeter systems to IAI, which was a principal
shareholders until July 2003. Jacob Nuss, one of our directors, is currently the
deputy vice-president-internal auditing of IAI, and since 1975, has served in
various financial management capacities at IAI. The terms of the contracts under
which we make sales to IAI were negotiated on an arms'-length basis and the
terms of such contracts are no more favorable to IAI than those it could have
obtained from an unaffiliated third party. Our sales to IAI during the years
ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004 were $111,000, $88,000 and $541,000,
respectively.

Sales to a Principal Shareholder

         Our U.S. subsidiary Smart provides video monitoring services to
companies controlled by Mr. Kirsh. The terms of the contracts under which we
make sales to these companies were negotiated on an arms'-length basis and the
terms of such contracts are no more favorable to these companies than those it
could have obtained from an unaffiliated third party. Our sales to these
companies during the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004 were $77,000
$108,000 and $386,000, respectively.

Employment Contracts

         Jacob Even-Ezra and Izhar Dekel entered into substantially similar
employment agreements with us, effective January 1993. These agreements contain
certain non-competition and confidentiality provisions. In addition, each
agreement establishes a base salary and a package of benefits with an aggregate
value of approximately 20% of the base salary, as well as a possible bonus. In
April 2000, we extended the term of Mr. Even-Ezra's employment agreement until
January 2004. In October 2003, the appointment of Mr. Even-Ezra as chairman of
the board was extended until January 2006 and as CEO for such period until a new
CEO is appointed. Under the Israeli Companies Law, such dual positions require

                                       62



<PAGE>


shareholders, approval which must be renewed every three years. Our shareholders
approved this dual position in July 2004. In December 2000, our board of
directors amended the term of Mr. Dekel's employment agreement. Under the
amended agreement, the term of Mr. Dekel's employment will continue until such
time as it is terminated by us or by Mr. Dekel pursuant to the terms of the
agreement. Under the Israeli Companies Law, the terms of employment of Mr.
Dekel, who is also a member of our board of directors requires shareholders'
approval. Our shareholders approved Mr. Dekel's terms in July 2004. See also
Item 6.B. "Directors, Senior Management and Employees-Compensation" above.

ITEM 8.  Financial Information

A.   Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information.

         The Financial Statements required by this item are found at the end of
this annual report, beginning on page F-1.

         In 2004, the total amount of our revenues from our facilities located
outside of Israel to customers outside of Israel was approximately $35 million,
or 57% of our total revenues. The total amount of our export revenues from our
Israeli facilities to countries outside of Israel was approximately $15.8
million, or 26% of our total revenues.

Legal Proceedings

         In April 2003, Rav-Tec Ltd. filed a civil action against us, the MOD
and Mr. Giora Cohen, in the District Court of Tel-Aviv. The plaintiff alleges
that its failure in the field trials of the perimeter systems executed by the
MOD during 1996-1997 resulted from intentional damage to its perimeter system
and diversion of the results of certain intrusion tests made by Cohen who was
then a soldier in the IDF. The plaintiff alleges that we were the employer of
Cohen during 1995 and we still employed him as our agent during the field
trials. The plaintiff requests the courts to annul the field trial and for
approximately $730,000 in damages. We have denied all of the above allegations
and claimed that the plaintiff's perimeter system failure was not the result of
Cohen's actions. According to our legal counsel, we have good defenses against
the aforementioned claims. The action is in its preliminary stages.

         In addition, we are subject to legal proceedings arising in the normal
course of business. Based on the advice of our legal counsel, management
believes that these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our
financial position or results of operations.

Dividend Policy

         In each of 1999 and 2000, we paid a cash dividend to our shareholders
of $0.10 per ordinary share, representing approximately 32% of our net income
before writing off the investment in our affiliate in each of 1998 and 1999. In
2001, we paid a cash dividend to our shareholders of $0.13 per ordinary share,
representing approximately 33% of our net income in 2000. In each of August 2002
and 2003, we paid a 3% stock dividend, as a final dividend for the years ended
December 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively.

         On January 27, 2004 we paid a cash dividend to our shareholders of
$0.05 per ordinary share, representing approximately 17% of our net income in
2003. In August 2004, we paid a 5% stock dividend to our shareholders as a final
dividend for 2003.

provides, among other things, that we were established for the purposes of
acquiring from IAI a plant, known as the Magal Plant, engaged in the
development, manufacture, sale and support of alarm devices and dealing in the
development, manufacturing and support of security alarm devices and other
similar products. In addition, the purpose of our company is to be eligible to
perform and act in connection with any right or obligation of whatever kind or
nature permissible under Israeli law.

                                       65

<PAGE>




Board of Directors

         The strategic management of our business (as distinguished from the
daily management of the our business affairs) is vested in our board of
directors, which may exercise all such powers and do all such acts as our
company is authorized to exercise and do, and which are not required to be
exercised by a resolution of the general meeting of our shareholders. The board
of directors may, subject to the provisions of the Israeli Companies Law,
delegate some of its powers to committees, each consisting of one or more
directors, provided that at least one member of such committee is an outside
director.

         According to the Israeli Companies Law, we may stipulate in our
articles of association that the general meeting of shareholders is authorized
to assume the responsibilities of the board of directors. In the event the board
of directors is unable to act or exercise its powers, the general meeting of
shareholders is authorized to exercise the powers of the board of directors,
although the articles of association do not stipulate so. Our board of directors
has the power to assume the responsibilities of our chief executive officer if
he is unable to act or exercise his powers or if he fails to fulfill the
instructions of the board of directors with respect to a specific matter.

         Our articles of association do not impose any mandatory retirement or
age-limit requirements on our directors and our directors are not required to
own shares in our company in order to qualify to serve as directors.

         For a discussion of the Israeli Companies Law regulations concerning a
director's duty of care and duty of loyalty, see Item 6.C. "Directors, Senior
Management and Employees-Board Practices-Approval of Specific Related-Party
Transactions." For a discussion of the Israeli Companies Law regulations
regarding indemnification of directors, see Item 6.C. "Directors, Senior
Management and Employees-Board Practices-Indemnification of Directors and
Officers and Limitations of Liability."

         Directors' compensation arrangements (other than outside directors)
require the approval of our audit committee before board and shareholder
approval. However, pursuant to amendments to the Companies Regulations (Relief
from Related Party Transactions), 5760-2000, directors' compensation and
employment arrangements do not require shareholder approval if such arrangements
are approved by both the audit committee and the board of directors, and meet
certain criteria. In addition, if the director is a controlling shareholder of
the company, then the employment and compensation arrangements of such director
do not require shareholder approval; provided such arrangements meet certain
specified criteria.

         The relief from having to obtain shareholder approval set forth above
will not apply, and shareholder approval will be required, if one or more
shareholders, holding at least 1% of the issued and outstanding share capital of
the company or of the company's voting rights, object to the grant of such
relief, provided that such objection is submitted to the company in writing not
later than seven days from the date of the filing of a report regarding the
adoption of such resolution by the company pursuant to the requirements of the
Israeli Securities Law (which reporting requirements are not applicable to us as
a double foreign company).

         The board of directors may from time to time, at its discretion, cause
the company to borrow or secure the payment of any money for the purposes of the
company, and may secure or provide for the repayment of such money in the manner
as it deems fit.

Share Capital

         Our share capital consists of NIS 19,748,000 divided into 19,748,000
ordinary shares, par value NIS 1.00 each, all ranking pari passu. All our
ordinary shares have the same rights, preferences and restrictions, some of
which are detailed below. At the general meeting of shareholders, our
shareholders

                                       66



<PAGE>


may, subject to certain provisions detailed below, create different classes of
shares, each class bearing different rights, preferences and restrictions.

         Dividends

         Holders of ordinary shares are entitled to participate in the payment
of dividends in accordance with the amounts paid-up or credited as paid up on
the nominal value of such ordinary shares at the time of payment (without taking
into account any premium paid thereon). However, under article 13 of our
articles of association no shareholder shall be entitled to receive any
dividends until he shall have paid all calls then currently due and payable on
each ordinary share held by such shareholder.

         Declaration of a final dividend requires the approval by ordinary
resolution of our shareholders at a general meeting of shareholders. Such
resolution may reduce but not increase the dividend amount recommended by the
board of directors. Dividends may be paid, in whole or in part, by way of
distribution of dividends in kind.

         Dividends may be paid only out of our distributable earnings, as
defined in the Israeli Companies Law. Prior to any distribution of dividends,
our board of directors has to determine that there is no reasonable concern that
such distribution will prevent us from executing our existing and foreseeable
obligations as they become due.

         Voting Rights

         Holders of ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share of
record on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders. Voting is done by a
show of hands, unless a poll is demanded prior to a vote by a show of hands.
Generally, resolutions are adopted at the general meeting of shareholders by an
ordinary resolution, unless the Israeli Companies Law or the articles of
association require an extraordinary resolution.

         An ordinary resolution, such as a resolution approving the declaration
of dividends or the appointment of auditors, requires approval by the holders of
a simple majority of the shares represented at the meeting, in person or by
proxy, and voting thereon. An extraordinary resolution requires approval by the
holders of at least 75% of the shares represented at the meeting, in person or
by proxy, and voting thereon.

         The primary resolutions required to be adopted by an extraordinary
resolution of the general meeting of shareholders are resolutions to:

          o    amend the memorandum or the articles of association;

          o    change the share  capital,  for example,  increasing or canceling
               the authorized  share capital or modifying the rights attached to
               shares; and

          o    approve mergers, consolidations or winding up of our company.

         Our articles of association do not contain any provisions regarding a
classified board of directors or cumulative voting for the election of
directors.

         Rights in the Company's Profits

         Our shareholders have the right to share in our profits distributed as
a dividend or any other permitted distributions.

                                       67

<PAGE>




         Liquidation

         Article 111 of our articles of association provides that upon any
liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our company, our remaining assets
shall be distributed pro-rata to our ordinary shareholders.

         Redemption

         Under article 38 of our articles of association, we may issue
redeemable stock and redeem the same.

         Transfer of shares

         The transfer of a fully paid-up ordinary share does not require the
approval of our board of directors. However, according to article 17 of our
articles of association, any transfer of an ordinary share requires an
instrument of transfer in the form designated by the board of directors together
with any other evidence of title as the board of directors may reasonably
request.

         Substantial limitations on shareholders

         See Item 6.C. "Directors, Senior Management and Employees-Board
Practices-Approval of Specific Related-Party Transactions."

         Capital Calls

         Under our memorandum of association and the Israeli Companies Law, the
liability of our shareholders is limited to the par value of the shares held by
them.

Modifications of Share Rights

         Shares which confer preferential or subordinate rights relating to,
among other things, dividends, voting, and payment of capital may be created
only by an extraordinary resolution of the general meeting of shareholders. The
rights attached to a class of shares may be altered by an extraordinary
resolution of the general meeting of shareholders, provided the holders of 75%
of the issued shares of that class approve such change by the adoption of an
extraordinary resolution at a separate meeting of such class, subject to the
terms of such class. The provisions of the articles of association pertaining to
general meetings of shareholders also apply to a separate meeting of a class of
shareholders.

General Meetings of Shareholders

         An annual general meeting of shareholders is held at least once every
calendar year, not later than 15 months after the last annual general meeting of
shareholders, at such time and at such place as may be fixed by the board of
directors. Any additional general meetings of shareholders are called
"extraordinary general meetings." The board of directors may, in its discretion,
convene an extraordinary general meeting and is obliged to do so upon receipt of
a written request from the holders of at least 5% of our outstanding ordinary
shares and/or of our voting rights.

         The Israeli Companies Law provides that a company whose shares are
traded on a stock exchange must give notice of a general meeting of shareholders
to its shareholders of record at least twenty-one days prior to the meeting. A
shareholder present, in person or by proxy, at the commencement of a general
meeting of shareholders may not seek the cancellation of any proceedings or
resolutions adopted at such general meeting of shareholders on account of any
defect in the notice of such meeting relating to

                                       68



<PAGE>


the time or the place thereof. Shareholders who are registered in our register
of shareholders at the record date may vote at the general meeting of
shareholders. The record date is set in the resolution to convene the general
meeting of shareholders, provided, however, that such record date must be
between four to twenty-one days or, in the event of a vote by ballots, between
four to forty days prior the date the general meeting of shareholders is held.

         The quorum required for a general meeting of shareholders consists of
at least two record shareholders, present in person or by proxy, who hold, in
the aggregate, at least one third of the voting power of our outstanding shares.
A general meeting of shareholders will be adjourned for lack of a quorum after
half an hour from the time appointed for such meeting to the same day in the
following week at the same time and place or any other time and place as the
board of directors designates in a notice to the shareholders. At such
reconvened meeting, if a quorum is not present within half an hour from the time
appointed for such meeting, two or more shareholders, present in person or by
proxy, will constitute a quorum. The only business that may be considered at an
adjourned general meeting of shareholders is the business that might have been
lawfully considered at the general meeting of shareholders originally convened
and the only resolutions that may be adopted are the resolutions that could have
been adopted at the general meeting of shareholders originally convened.

Limitations on the Right to Own Our Securities

         Neither our memorandum or articles of association nor the laws of the
State of Israel restrict in any way the ownership or voting of our ordinary
shares by non-residents, except that the laws of the State of Israel may
restrict the ownership of ordinary shares by residents of countries that are in
a state of war with Israel.

Provisions Restricting a Change in Control of Our Company

         The Israeli Companies Law requires that mergers between Israeli
companies be approved by the board of directors and general meeting of
shareholders of both parties to the transaction. The approval of the board of
directors of both companies is subject to such board of directors' confirmation
that there is no reasonable doubt that after the merger the surviving company
will be able to fulfill its obligations to its creditors. Each company must
notify its creditors about the contemplated merger. Under the Israeli Companies
Law, our articles of association are deemed to include a requirement that such
merger be approved by an extraordinary resolution of our shareholders, as
explained above. The approval of the merger by the general meetings of
shareholders of each of the companies is also subject to additional approval
requirements as specified in the Israeli Companies Law and regulations
promulgated thereunder.

         The Companies Law also provides that an acquisition of shares in a
public company on the open market must be made by means of a tender offer if as
a result of the acquisition the purchaser would become a 25% or greater
shareholder of the company. However, this rule does not apply if there already
is another 25% or greater shareholder of the company. Similarly, the Israeli
Companies Law provides that an acquisition of shares in a public company must be
made by means of a tender offer if as a result of the acquisition the purchaser
would hold greater than a 45% interest in the company, unless there is another
shareholder holding more than a 45% interest in the company. These requirements
do not apply if, in general, the acquisition (1) was made in a private placement
that received shareholder approval, (2) was from a 25% or greater shareholder of
the company which resulted in the acquiror becoming a 25% or greater shareholder
of the company, or (3) was from a shareholder holding more than a 45% interest
in the company which resulted in the acquiror becoming a holder of more than a
45% interest in the company.

           However, under the Companies Law, if as a result of any acquisition
of shares the acquirer would hold more than 90% of the company's outstanding
shares, the acquisition must be made by means of a tender offer for all of the
outstanding shares. If less than 5% of the outstanding shares are not

                                       69



<PAGE>


tendered in the tender offer, all the shares that the acquirer offered to
purchase will be transferred to the acquirer. The Israeli Companies Law provides
for appraisal rights if any shareholder files a request in court within three
months following the consummation of a full tender offer. If more than 5% of the
outstanding shares are not tendered in the tender offer, then the acquiror may
not acquire shares in the tender offer that will cause his shareholding to
exceed 90% of the outstanding shares. These rules do not apply if the
acquisition is made by way of a private placement, provided such private
placement is approved by the shareholders of the company. In addition, these
rules do not apply to a company whose shares are publicly traded outside of
Israel if applicable foreign securities laws restrict the acquisition of any
level of control of the company or require the purchaser to make a tender offer
to the public shareholders upon the acquisition of any level of control of the
company.

Disclosure of Shareholders' Ownership

         The Israeli Securities Law, 5728-1968 and regulations promulgated
thereunder contain various provisions regarding the ownership threshold above
which shareholders must disclose their share ownership. However, these
provisions do not apply to companies, such as ours, whose shares are publicly
traded in Israel as well as outside of Israel. As a result of the listing of our
ordinary shares on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, we are required pursuant to the
Israeli Securities Law and the regulations promulgated thereunder to deliver to
the Israeli Share Registrar, the Israeli Securities Exchange Commission and the
Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, all reports, documents, forms and information received
by us from our shareholders regarding their shareholdings, provided that such
information was published or required to be published under applicable foreign
law.

C.   Material Contracts.

         We are not a party to any material contracts other than those entered
into in the ordinary course of business.

D.   Exchange Controls.

         Israeli law and regulations do not impose any material foreign exchange
restrictions on non-Israeli holders of our ordinary shares. In May 1998, a new
"general permit" was issued under the Israeli Currency Control Law, 1978, which
removed most of the restrictions that previously existed under such law, and
enabled Israeli citizens to freely invest outside of Israel and freely convert
Israeli currency into non-Israeli currencies.

         Non-residents of Israel who purchase our ordinary shares will be able
to convert dividends, if any, thereon, and any amounts payable upon our
dissolution, liquidation or winding up, as well as the proceeds of any sale in
Israel of our ordinary shares to an Israeli resident, into freely repatriable
dollars, at the exchange rate prevailing at the time of conversion, provided
that the Israeli income tax has been withheld (or paid) with respect to such
amounts or an exemption has been obtained.

E.   Taxation.

         The following is a summary of the current tax structure applicable to
companies in Israel, with special reference to its effect on us and our
shareholders. The following also contains a discussion of Israeli government
programs benefiting us. To the extent that the discussion is based on new tax
legislation that has not been subject to judicial or administrative
interpretation, we cannot assure you that the tax authorities will accept the
views expressed in the discussion in question. The discussion is not intended,
and should not be taken, as legal or professional tax advice and is not
exhaustive of all possible tax considerations.

Tax Reform

         On January 1, 2003, the Law for Amendment of the Income Tax Ordinance
(Amendment No.132), 5762-2002, known as the Tax Reform, came into effect,
following its enactment by the Israeli Parliament on July 24, 2002. On December
17, 2002, the Israeli Parliament approved a number of amendments to the tax
reform, which came into effect on January 1, 2003.

         The tax reform, aimed at broadening the categories of taxable income
and reducing the tax rates imposed on employment income, introduced the
following, among other things:

          o    Reduction  of the tax rate  levied on capital  gains  (other than
               gains deriving from the sale of listed securities)  derived after
               January 1, 2003,  to a general  rate of 25% for both  individuals
               and  corporations.  Regarding assets acquired prior to January 1,
               2003, the reduced tax rate will apply to a proportionate  part of
               the gain,  in accordance  with the holding  periods of the asset,
               before or after January 1, 2003, on a linear basis;

          o    Imposition  of Israeli  tax on all  income of Israeli  residents,
               individuals  and  corporations,  regardless  of  the  territorial
               source of income,  including  income derived from passive sources
               such as interest, dividends and royalties;

          o    Introduction of controlled  foreign  corporation (CFC) rules into
               the  Israeli  tax  structure.  Generally,  under such  rules,  an
               Israeli resident who holds,  directly of indirectly,  10% or more
               of the  rights  in a foreign  corporation  whose  shares  are not
               publicly  traded,  in which  more than 50% of the rights are held
               directly or  indirectly by Israeli  residents,  and a majority of
               whose income in a tax year is considered passive income,  will be
               liable for tax on the  portion of such income  attributed  to his
               holdings in such corporation,  as if such income were distributed
               to him as a dividend;

          o    Imposition  of capital  gains tax on capital  gains  realized  by
               individuals  as of January  1,  2003,  from the sale of shares of
               publicly traded  companies (such gain was previously  exempt from
               capital gains tax in Israel). For information with respect to the
               applicability  of  Israeli  capital  gains  taxes  on the sale of
               ordinary shares,  see "Capital Gains Tax on Sales of Our Ordinary
               Shares" below; and

          o    Introduction  of a new  regime  for the  taxation  of shares  and
               options issued to employees and officers (including directors).

General Corporate Tax Structure

         In 2004, Israeli companies were generally subject to corporate tax at
the rate of 35% of taxable income. This tax rate is expected to decrease
gradually to 34% in 2005, 32% in 2006 and 30% beginning in 2007. However, the
effective tax rate payable by a company that derives income from an approved
enterprise, discussed further below, may be considerably less. See "-Law for the
Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959." Subject to relevant tax treaties,
dividends or interest received by an Israeli company from its foreign
subsidiaries are generally subject to tax regardless of such company's status as
an approved enterprise.

Law for the Encouragement of Industry (Taxes), 1969

         According to the Law for the Encouragement of Industry (Taxes), 1969,
generally referred to as the Industry Encouragement Law, an industrial company
is a company resident in Israel, at least 90% of the income of which, in a given
tax year, determined in Israeli currency exclusive of income from

                                       71



<PAGE>


specified government loans, capital gains, interest and dividends, is derived
from an industrial enterprise owned by it. An industrial enterprise is defined
as an enterprise whose major activity in a given tax year is industrial
production activity.

         Under the Industry Encouragement Law, industrial companies are entitled
to the following preferred corporate tax benefits:

          o    deduction of purchases of know-how and patents over an eight-year
               period for tax purposes, at a rate of 12.5% per year;

          o    deduction of specified expenses incurred for a public issuance of
               securities over a three-year period for tax purposes;

          o    right  to  elect,   under   specified   conditions,   to  file  a
               consolidated   tax  return  with   additional   related   Israeli
               industrial companies; and

          o    accelerated depreciation rates on equipment and buildings.

         Eligibility for benefits under the Industry Encouragement Law is not
subject to receipt of prior approval from any governmental authority.

         We believe that we currently qualify as an industrial company as
defined by the Industry Encouragement Law. We cannot assure you that we will
continue to qualify as an industrial company or that the benefits described
above will be available to us in the future.

Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959

         General

         The Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959, commonly
referred to as the Investment Law, provides that a proposed capital investment
in eligible facilities may, upon application to the Investment Center of the
Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor of the State of Israel, commonly referred
to as the Investment Center, be designated as an approved enterprise. Each
certificate of approval for an approved enterprise relates to a specific
investment program delineated both by its financial scope, including its capital
sources, and by its physical characteristics, for example, the equipment to be
purchased and utilized under the program. The tax benefits derived from any
certificate of approval relate only to taxable income attributable to the
specific approved enterprise. If a company has more than one approval or only a
portion of its capital investments is approved, its effective tax rate is the
result of a weighted average of the applicable rates.

         Certain of our production facilities have been granted approved
enterprise status pursuant to the Investment Law, which provides certain tax and
financial benefits to investment programs that have been granted this status.

         Tax Benefits

         Taxable income of a company derived from an approved enterprise is
generally subject to company tax at the maximum rate of 25%, rather than 35%,
for the benefit period. This period is ordinarily seven years, or ten years if
the company qualifies as a foreign investors' company as described below,
commencing with the year in which the approved enterprise first generates
taxable income. However, this period is limited to the earlier of twelve years
from commencement of production or fourteen years from the date of approval.

                                       72



<PAGE>


         A company that owns an approved enterprise may elect to receive an
alternative package of benefits. Under the alternative package of benefits, a
company's undistributed income derived from an approved enterprise will be
exempt from company tax for a period of between two and ten years from the first
year of taxable income, depending on the geographic location of the approved
enterprise within Israel, and the company will be eligible for a reduced tax
rate for the remainder of the benefits period.

         A company that has an approved enterprise program is eligible for
further tax benefits if it qualifies as a foreign investors' company. A foreign
investors' company is a company more than 25% of whose share capital and
combined share and loan capital is owned by non-Israeli residents. A company
that qualifies as a foreign investors' company and has an approved enterprise
program is eligible for tax benefits for a ten year benefit period. Income
derived from the approved enterprise program will be exempt from tax for a
period of two years and will be subject to a reduced tax rate for an additional
eight years, provided that the company qualifies as a foreign investors'
company. The tax rate for the additional eight-year period is 25%. However, if
the level of foreign investment exceeds 49% but is less than 74%, then the tax
rate for the additional eight-year period is 20%. If the level of foreign
investment exceeds 74% but is less than 90%, then the tax rate for the
additional eight-year period is 15%. If the level of foreign investment exceeds
90%, then the tax rate for the additional eight-year period is 10%. If the
company does not qualify as a foreign investors' company, the period of the
reduced tax rate will be five years.

         A company that has elected the alternative package of benefits and that
subsequently pays a dividend out of income derived from the approved enterprise
during the tax exemption period will be subject to tax on the amount distributed
at the rates mentioned above. The tax rate will be the rate that would have been
applicable had the company not elected the alternative package of benefits. This
rate is generally 10%-25%, depending on the percentage of the company's shares
held by foreign shareholders. The dividend recipient is taxed at the reduced
rate applicable to dividends from approved enterprises, which is 15% if the
dividend is distributed during the tax exemption period or within 12 years after
the period. The company must withhold this tax at the source, regardless of
whether the dividend is converted into foreign currency.

         Subject to applicable provisions concerning income under the
alternative package of benefits, all incomes are considered to be attributable
to the entire enterprise and their effective tax rate is the result of a
weighted average of the various applicable tax rates. Under the Investment Law,
a company that has elected the alternative package of benefits is not obliged to
distribute exempt retained profits, and may generally decide from which year's
profits to declare dividends.

         The benefits available to an approved enterprise program are dependent
upon the fulfillment of conditions stipulated in applicable law and in the
certificate of approval. If we fail to comply with these conditions with regard
to our approved enterprises, the tax and other benefits we receive could be
rescinded, in whole or in part, and we may be required to refund the amount of
previously received benefits in addition to Israeli CPI linkage adjustments and
interest costs. We believe that our approved enterprises currently substantially
comply with all such conditions.

         On April 1, 2005, an amendment to the Investments Law came into force.
Pursuant to the amendment, a company's facility will be granted the status of
"Approved Enterprise" only if it is proven to be an industrial facility (as
defined in the Investments Law) that contributes to the economic independence of
the Israeli economy and is a competitive facility that contributes to the
Israeli gross domestic product. The amendment provides that the Israeli Tax
Authority and not the Investment Center will be responsible for an Approved
Enterprise under the alternative package of benefits, referred to as a
Benefiting Facility. A company wishing to receive the tax benefits afforded to a
Benefiting Facility is required to select the tax year from which the period of
benefits under the Investment Law are to commence by simply notifying the
Israeli Tax Authority within 12 months of the end of that year. In order to be
recognized as owning a Benefiting Facility, a company is required to meet a
number of

                                       73



<PAGE>


conditions set forth in the amendment, including making a minimal investment in
manufacturing assets for the Benefiting Facility and having completed a
cooling-off period of no less than two to four years from the company's previous
year of commencement of benefits under the Investments Law.

         Facility is required to select the tax year from which the period of
benefits under the Investment Law are to commence by simply notifying the
Israeli Tax Authority within 12 months of the end of that year. In order to be
recognized as owning a Benefiting Facility, a company is required to meet a
number of conditions set forth in the amendment, including making a minimal
investment in manufacturing assets for the Benefiting Facility and having
completed a cooling-off period of no less than two to four years from the
company's previous year of commencement of benefits under the Investments Law.

         Pursuant to the amendment, a company with a Benefiting Facility is
entitled, in each tax year, to accelerated depreciation for the manufacturing
assets used by the Benefiting Facility and to certain tax benefits, provided
that no more than 12 to 14 years have passed since the beginning of the year of
commencement of benefits under the Investments Law. The tax benefits granted to
a Benefiting Factory are determined according one of the following new tax
routes:

         (a) Similar to the currently available alternative route, exemption
from corporate tax on undistributed income for a period of two to ten years,
depending on the geographic location of the Benefiting Facility within Israel,
and a reduced corporate tax rate of 10% to 25% for the remainder of the benefits
period, depending on the level of foreign investment in each year. Benefits may
be granted for a term of from seven to ten years, depending on the level of
foreign investment in the company. If the company pays a dividend out of income
derived from the Benefiting Facility during the tax exemption period, such
income will be subject to corporate tax at the applicable rate (10%-25%). The
company is required to withhold tax at the source at a rate of 15% from any
dividends distributed from income derived from the Benefiting Facility.

         (b) A special tax route enabling companies owning facilities in certain
geographical locations in Israel to pay corporate tax at the rate of 11.5% on
income of the Benefiting Facility. The benefits period is ten years. Upon
payment of dividends, the company is required to withhold tax at source at a
rate of 15% for Israeli residents and at a rate of 4% for foreign residents.

         (c) A special tax route that provides a full exemption from corporate
tax and from tax with respect to dividends for companies with an annual income
of at least NIS 13-20 billion that have invested a total of between NIS 600-900
million in facilities in certain geographical locations in Israel.

         Generally, a company that is Abundant in Foreign Investment (as defined
in the Investments Law) is entitled to an extension of the benefits period by an
additional five years, depending on the rate of its income that is derived in
foreign currency.

         The amendment changes the definition of "foreign investment" in the
Investments Law so that instead of an investment of foreign currency in the
company, the definition now requires a minimal investment of NIS 5 million by
foreign investors. Furthermore, such definition now also includes the purchase
of shares of a company from another shareholder; provided that the company's
outstanding and paid-up share capital exceeds NIS 5 million. Such changes to the
aforementioned definition will take effect retroactively from 2003.

         The amendment will apply to approved enterprise programs in which the
year of commencement of benefits under the Investments Law is 2004 or later,
unless such programs received approval from the Investment Center on or prior to
December 31, 2004 in which case the provisions of the amendment will not apply.

                                       74

         Financial Benefits

         An approved enterprise is also entitled to a grant from the Government
of Israel for investments in certain production facilities located in designated
areas within Israel, provided it did not elect the alternative benefits program.
Grants are available for enterprises situated in development areas and for
high-technology or skill-intensive enterprises in Jerusalem. The investment
grant is computed as a percentage of the original cost of the fixed assets for
which the approved enterprise has been granted.

         From time to time, the Government of Israel has discussed reducing the
benefits available to companies under the Investment Law. In 1996, the
investment grant was decreased from 38% to 34% and in January 1997 the grant was
reduced to 20%. Currently, grants generally range between 10% and 20%. If the
benefits available under the Investment Law are terminated or substantially
reduced, it could have a material adverse effect on our future investments in
Israel.

         For companies such as ours, whose foreign shareholders hold more than
25% of the company's outstanding ordinary shares, future approved enterprises
would entitle such companies to receive reduced tax rates for up to ten tax
years, rather than the maximum seven tax years applicable to companies with a
smaller foreign investment.

         As long as we are in compliance with the conditions set forth in the
certificates of approval granted to us, our income derived from our approved
enterprise expansion programs will be tax exempt for the prescribed period and
thereafter will enjoy reduced tax rates as detailed above. If we violate these
conditions, we may be required to refund the amount of tax benefits we
previously received in addition to Israeli CPI linkage adjustments and interest
costs.

         We currently have two approved enterprise expansion programs which were
approved in 1997 and 2001, and under which we are entitled to tax benefits. The
periods of benefits for two of our approved enterprise programs will expire in
2007 and in 2012, respectively. The benefits we receive in connection with our
approved enterprise programs are conditioned upon the fulfillment of a marketing
plan filed by us with the Investment Center.

Law for the Encouragement of Industrial Research and Development, 1984

         Under the Law for the Encouragement of Industrial Research and
Development, 1984, or the Research Law, research and development programs that
meet specified criteria and are approved by a governmental committee of the OCS
are eligible for grants of up to 50% of certain of the project's expenditures,
as determined by the research committee, in exchange for the payment of
royalties from the sale of products developed under the program. Regulations
under the Research Law generally provide for the payment of royalties to the OCS
of 3%-5% on sales of products and services derived from technology developed
using these grants until 100% of the dollar-linked grant is repaid. Upon full
repayment of the grant, there is no further liability for royalties.

         The terms of the Israeli government participation also require that
products developed with government grants be manufactured in Israel. However,
under the regulations of the Research Law, upon the approval of the Chief
Scientist, some of the manufacturing volume may be performed outside Israel,
provided that the we pay royalties at an increased rate and the aggregate
repayment amount is increased. The increase in royalties depends upon the
manufacturing volume that is performed outside of Israel, as follows:

                                       75

<PAGE>




  Manufacturing volume                         Royalties to the Chief Scientist
  outside of Israel                            as a percentage of grant
  --------------------                         --------------------------------
     less than 50%                                     120%
     between 50% and 90%                               150%
     more than 90%                                     300%


         Under the Research Law, the technology developed with OCS grants may
not be transferred to third parties without the prior approval of a governmental
committee. However, such approval is not required for the export of any products
developed using the grants. Approval of the transfer of technology may be
granted in specific circumstances if the recipient abides by the provisions of
the Research Law and related regulations, including the restrictions on the
transfer of know-how and the obligation to pay royalties in an amount that may
be increased. We cannot assure you that any consent, if requested, will be
granted.

         Effective for grants received from the OCS under programs approved
after January 1, 1999, the outstanding balance of the grants will be subject to
interest equal to the 12 month LIBOR applicable to dollar deposits that is
published on the first business day of each calendar year.

         The funds generally available for grants by the OCS were reduced for
2003, and the Israeli authorities have indicated that the government may further
reduce or abolish grants from the OCS in the future. Even if these grants are
maintained, we cannot assure you that we will receive OCS grants in the future.
In addition, each application to the OCS is reviewed separately, and grants are
based on the program approved by the research committee. Generally, expenditures
supported under other incentive programs of the State of Israel are not eligible
for grants from the OCS.

         In June 2005, an amendment to the Research Law became effective, which
amendment was intended to make the Research Law more compatible with the global
business environment by, among other things, relaxing restrictions on the
transfer of manufacturing rights outside Israel and on the transfer of Office of
the Chief Scientist-funded know-how outside of Israel. The amendment permits the
Office of the Chief Scientist, among other things, to approve the transfer of
manufacturing rights outside Israel in exchange for an import of different
manufacturing into Israel as a substitute, in lieu of demanding the recipient to
pay increased royalties as described above. The amendment further permits, under
certain circumstances and subject to the Office of the Chief Scientist's prior
approval, the transfer outside Israel of know-how that has been funded by Office
of the Chief Scientist, generally in the following cases: (a) the grant
recipient pays to the Office of the Chief Scientist a portion of the
consideration paid for such funded know-how (according to certain formulas), (b)
the grant recipient receives know-how from a third party in exchange for its
funded know-how, or (c) such transfer of funded know-how arises in connection
with certain types of cooperation in research and development activities. To our
knowledge, the Israeli government intends to amend the royalty regulations
promulgated under the Research Law to reflect the foregoing amendment.

         The Research Law imposes reporting requirements with respect to certain
changes in the ownership of a grant recipient. The law requires the grant
recipient and its controlling shareholders and interested parties to notify the
Office of the Chief Scientist of any change in control of the recipient or a
change in the holdings of the means of control of the recipient that results in
a non-Israeli becoming an interested party directly in the recipient and
requires the new interested party to undertake to the Office of the Chief
Scientist to comply with the Research Law. In addition, the rules of the Office
of the Chief Scientist may require prior approval of the Office of the Chief
Scientist or additional information or representations in respect of certain of
such events. For this purpose, "control" is defined as the ability to direct the
activities of a company other than any ability arising solely from serving as an
officer or director of the company. A person is presumed to have control if such
person holds 50% or more of the

                                       76



<PAGE>


means of control of a company. "Means of control" refers to voting rights or the
right to appoint directors or the chief executive officer. An "interested party"
of a company includes a holder of 5% or more of its outstanding share capital or
voting rights, its chief executive officer and directors, someone who has the
right to appoint its chief executive officer or at least one director, and a
company with respect to which any of the foregoing interested parties owns 25%
or more of the outstanding share capital or voting rights or has the right to
appoint 25% or more of the directors. Accordingly, any non-Israeli who acquires
5% or more of our ordinary shares will be required to notify the Office of the
Chief Scientist that it has become an interested party and to sign an
undertaking to comply with the Research Law.

Taxation Under Inflationary Conditions

         The Income Tax Law (Inflationary Adjustments), 1985, generally referred
to as the Inflationary Adjustments Law, represents an attempt to overcome the
problems presented to a traditional tax system by an economy undergoing rapid
inflation. The Inflationary Adjustments Law is highly complex. Its features
which are material to us can be described as follows:

         There is a special tax adjustment for the preservation of equity as
follows:

                  A.       Where a company's equity, as calculated under the
                           Inflationary Adjustments Law, exceeds the depreciated
                           cost of fixed assets, a deduction from taxable income
                           is permitted equal to the excess multiplied by the
                           applicable annual rate of inflation. The maximum
                           deduction permitted in any single tax year is 70% of
                           taxable income, with the unused portion permitted to
                           be carried forward.

                  B.       Where a company's depreciated cost of fixed assets
                           exceeds its equity, then the excess multiplied by the
                           applicable annual rate of inflation is added to
                           taxable income.

          o    Subject to  specified  limitations,  depreciation  deductions  on
               fixed  assets  and  losses  carried   forward  are  adjusted  for
               inflation based on the increase in the Israeli CPI.

          o    Gains on traded  securities,  which are normally exempt from tax,
               are  taxable  in  specified  circumstances.  However,  securities
               dealers  are  subject  to the  regular  tax rules  applicable  to
               business income in Israel.

         Pursuant to the Inflationary Adjustments Law, results for tax purposes
are measured in real terms in accordance with changes in the Israeli CPI. The
discrepancy between the change in the Israeli CPI and the change in the exchange
rate of the NIS to the dollar, each year and cumulatively, may result in a
significant difference between taxable income and the income denominated in
dollars as reflected in our financial statements (see note 14 of the notes to
our consolidated financial statements). A foreign investors' company may,
subject to certain conditions, elect to measure results, for tax purposes, in
dollar terms.

         Until 2002, we measured the results for tax purposes in terms of
earnings in NIS, after certain adjustments for increases in Israel's CPI.
Commencing January 1, 2003, the basis for remeasurement is the changes in the
exchange rate of the U.S. dollar.

         For the years 2001 and 2002, the differences between the change in
Israel's CPI and in the NIS/U.S. dollar exchange rate caused a difference
between taxable income or loss and the income or loss before taxes reflected in
the consolidated financial statements. In accordance with paragraph 9(f) of SFAS
No. 109, we have not provided deferred income taxes on this difference between
the reporting currency and the tax bases of assets and liabilities.

Stamp Tax

         Under Israel's Stamp Tax on Documents Law, certain documents are
subject to stamp tax. Recently promulgated regulations provide for a gradual
phase-out of the stamp tax by 2008. However, in 2004, the tax authorities began
an enforcement campaign involving extensive audits of companies' compliance with
the stamp tax obligation with respect to all agreements that had been signed
since June 2003.

         We have received legal advice that there are a variety of defenses
relating to the obligation to pay stamp tax and as to the amount to be paid. In
addition, the Israeli Forum of Chief Financial Officers' has filed a petition
with the Israeli Supreme Court against enforcement of this law, which petition
is currently pending. If the petition is rejected and the tax authorities do not
accept the available defenses, we may be liable to pay stamp tax with respect to
the period beginning June 1, 2003. Our management believes that the potential
costs arising from this matter are not material.

Capital Gains Tax

         Israeli law generally imposes a capital gains tax on the sale of
capital assets located in Israel, including shares in Israeli companies, by both
residents and non-residents of Israel. Unless a specific exemption is available
or unless a tax treaty between Israel and the shareholder's country of residence
provides otherwise. The law distinguishes between real gain and inflationary
surplus. The inflationary surplus is a portion of the total capital gain which
is equivalent to the increase of the relevant asset's purchase price which is
attributable to the increase in the Israeli consumer price index between the
date of purchase and the date of sale. The real gain is the excess of the total
capital gain over the inflationary surplus.

         Prior to the tax reform, sales of our ordinary shares by individuals
were generally exempt from Israeli capital gains tax for so long as they were
quoted on NASDAQ or listed on a stock exchange in a country appearing in a list
approved by the Controller of Foreign Currency and we qualified as an Industrial
Company. The above was also applicable following the dual listing of our shares
in the Israeli Stock Exchange.

         Pursuant to the tax reform, generally, capital gains tax is imposed at
a rate of 15% on real gains derived on or after January 1, 2003, from the sale
of shares in companies (i) publicly traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, or
TASE, or; (ii) (subject to a necessary determination by the Israeli Minister of
Finance) Israeli companies publicly traded on a recognized stock exchange
outside of Israel (such as Magal).

         This tax rate does not apply to: (i) dealers in securities; (ii)
shareholders that report in accordance with Chapter B to the Inflationary
Adjustment Law; or (iii) shareholders who acquired their shares prior to an
initial public offering (that are subject to a different tax arrangement).

         The tax basis of shares acquired prior to January 1, 2003 will be
determined in accordance with the average closing share price in the three
trading days preceding January 1, 2003. However, a request may be made to the
tax authorities to consider the actual adjusted cost of the shares as the tax
basis if it is higher than such average price.

         Non-Israeli residents are exempt from Israeli capital gains tax on any
gains derived from the sale of shares publicly traded on the TASE, and are
exempt from Israeli capital gains tax on any gains derived from the sale of
shares of Israeli companies publicly traded on a recognized stock exchange
outside of Israel, provided however that such capital gains are not derive from
a permanent establishment in Israel and provided that such shareholders did not
acquire their shares prior to an initial public offering.

                                       78



<PAGE>


         However, non-Israeli corporations will not be entitled to such
exemption if an Israeli resident (i) has a controlling interest of 25% or more
in such non-Israeli corporation, or (ii) is the beneficiary or is entitled to
25% or more of the revenues or profits of such non-Israeli corporation, whether
directly or indirectly.

         In any event, the provisions of the tax reform will not affect the
exemption from capital gains tax for gains accrued before January 1, 2003, as
described above. In some instances where our shareholders may be liable for
Israeli tax on the sale of their ordinary shares, the payment of the
consideration may be subject to the withholding of Israeli tax at the source.

         Pursuant to the Convention between the governments of the United States
of America and Israel with respect to taxes on income, as amended, or the
"U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty", the sale, exchange or disposition of ordinary shares
by a person who (i) holds the ordinary shares as a capital asset, (ii) qualifies
as a resident of the United States within the meaning of the U.S.-Israel Tax
Treaty and (iii) is entitled to claim the benefits afforded to such person by
the U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty generally will not be subject to the Israeli capital
gains tax unless such Treaty U.S. Resident holds, directly or indirectly, shares
representing 10% or more of our voting power during any part of the 12-month
period preceding such sale, exchange or disposition, subject to certain
conditions. In this case, the sale, exchange or disposition of ordinary shares
would be subject to Israeli tax, to the extent applicable; however, under the
U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty, such Treaty U.S. Resident would be permitted to claim a
credit for such taxes against the U.S. federal income tax imposed with respect
to such sale, exchange or disposition, subject to the limitations in U.S. laws
applicable to foreign tax credits.

Taxation of Non-Resident Holders of Shares

         Non-residents of Israel are subject to income tax on income accrued or
derived from sources in Israel. Such sources of income include passive income
such as dividends, royalties and interest, as well as non-passive income from
services rendered in Israel. On distributions of dividends other than bonus
shares, or stock dividends, income tax at the rate of up to 25% is withheld at
source, unless a different rate is provided in a treaty between Israel and the
shareholder's country of residence. Under the U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty, the
maximum tax on dividends paid to a holder of ordinary shares who is a Treaty
U.S. Resident is 25%. However, under the Investment Law, dividends generated by
an Approved Enterprise are taxed at the rate of 15%. Furthermore, dividends not
generated by an Approved Enterprise paid to a U.S. company holding 10% or more
of our ordinary shares are taxed at a rate of 12.5%.

          Under an amendment to the Inflationary Adjustments Law, non-Israeli
corporations might be subject to Israeli taxes on the sale of traded securities
of an Israeli company, subject to the provisions of any applicable double
taxation treaty or unless a specific exemption is available.

         For information with respect to the applicability of Israeli capital
gains taxes on the sale of ordinary shares by United States residents, see above
"-- Capital Gains Tax on Sales of Our Ordinary Shares."

United States Federal Income Tax Consequences

         The following is a summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax
consequences that apply to U.S. Holders who hold ordinary shares as capital
assets. This summary is based on the United States Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code"), Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder,
judicial and administrative interpretations thereof, and the U.S.-Israel Tax
Treaty, all as in effect on the date hereof and all of which are subject to
change either prospectively or retroactively. This summary does not address all
tax considerations that may be relevant with respect to an investment in
ordinary shares. This summary does not discuss all the tax consequences that may
be relevant to a U.S. Holder in light of such holder's particular circumstances
or to U.S. Holders subject to special rules, including

                                       79



<PAGE>


persons that are non-U.S. Holders, broker-dealers, financial institutions,
certain insurance companies, investors liable for alternative minimum tax,
tax-exempt organizations, regulated investment companies, non-resident aliens of
the U.S. or taxpayers whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, persons
who hold the ordinary shares through partnerships or other pass-through
entities, persons who acquired their ordinary shares through the exercise or
cancellation of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation for
services, investors that actually or constructively own 10 percent or more of
our voting shares, and investors holding ordinary shares as part of a straddle
or appreciated financial position or as part of a hedging or conversion
transaction.

         This summary does not address the effect of any U.S. federal taxation
other than U.S. federal income taxation. In addition, this summary does not
include any discussion of state, local or foreign taxation.

         You are urged to consult your tax advisors regarding the foreign and
United States federal, state and local tax considerations of an investment in
ordinary shares.

         For purposes of this summary, the term "U.S. Holder" means an
individual who is a citizen or, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a resident
of the United States, a corporation or other entity taxable as a corporation
created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any political
subdivision thereof, an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income
tax regardless of its source, or a trust that (a) is subject to the primary
supervision of a court within the United States and the control of one or more
U.S. persons or (b) has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S.
Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

Taxation of Dividends

         Subject to the discussion below under the heading "Passive Foreign
Investment Companies," the gross amount of any distributions received with
respect to ordinary shares, including the amount of any Israeli taxes withheld
therefrom, will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes, to
the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits as determined for
U.S. federal income tax purposes. You will be required to include this amount of
dividends in gross income as ordinary income. Distributions in excess of our
current and accumulated earnings and profits will be treated as a non taxable
return of capital to the extent of your tax basis in the ordinary shares and any
amount in excess of your tax basis will be treated as gain from the sale of
ordinary shares. See "Disposition of Ordinary Shares" below for the discussion
on the taxation of capital gains. Dividends will not qualify for the dividends
received deduction generally available to corporations under Section 243 of the
Code.

         Dividends that we pay in NIS, including the amount of any Israeli taxes
withheld therefrom, will be included in your income in a U.S. dollar amount
calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the day such dividends
are received. A U.S. Holder who receives payment in NIS and converts NIS into
U.S. dollars at an exchange rate other than the rate in effect on such day may
have a foreign currency exchange gain or loss that would be treated as ordinary
income or loss. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors concerning
the U.S. tax consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of NIS.

         Subject to complex limitations, any Israeli withholding tax imposed on
such dividends will be a foreign income tax eligible for credit against a U.S.
Holder's U.S. federal income tax liability (or, alternatively, for deduction
against income in determining such tax liability). The limitations set out in
the Code include computational rules under which foreign tax credits allowable
with respect to specific classes of income cannot exceed the U.S. federal income
taxes otherwise payable with respect to each such class of income. Dividends
generally will be treated as foreign source passive income or, in the case of
certain U.S. Holders, financial services income for United States foreign tax
credit purposes. U.S. Holders should note that recently enacted legislation
eliminates the "financial services income" category with respect to taxable
years beginning after December 31, 2006. Under this legislation, the foreign tax

                                       80



<PAGE>


credit limitation categories will be limited to "passive category income" and
"general category income." Further, there are special rules for computing the
foreign tax credit limitation of a taxpayer who receives dividends subject to a
reduced rate of tax, see discussion below. A U.S. Holder will be denied a
foreign tax credit with respect to Israeli income tax withheld from dividends
received on the ordinary shares to the extent such U.S. Holder has not held the
ordinary shares for at least 16 days of the 31-day period beginning on the date
which is 15 days before the ex-dividend date or to the extent such U.S. Holder
is under an obligation to make related payments with respect to substantially
similar or related property. Any days during which a U.S. Holder has
substantially diminished its risk of loss on the ordinary shares are not counted
toward meeting the 16-day holding period required by the statute. The rules
relating to the determination of the foreign tax credit are complex, and you
should consult with your personal tax advisors to determine whether and to what
extent you would be entitled to this credit.

         Subject to certain limitations, "qualified dividend income" received by
a noncorporate U.S. Holder in tax years beginning on or before December 31, 2008
will be subject to tax at a reduced maximum tax rate of 15 percent.
Distributions taxable as dividends paid on the ordinary shares should qualify
for the 15 percent rate provided that either: (i) we are entitled to benefits
under the income tax treaty between the United States and Israel (the "Treaty")
or (ii) the ordinary shares are readily tradable on an established securities
market in the United States and certain other requirements are met. We believe
that we are entitled to benefits under the Treaty and that the ordinary shares
currently are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United
States. However, no assurance can be given that the ordinary shares will remain
readily tradable. The rate reduction does not apply unless certain holding
period requirements are satisfied. With respect to the ordinary shares, the U.S.
Holder must have held such shares for at least 61 days during the 121-day period
beginning 60 days before the ex-dividend date. The rate reduction also does not
apply to dividends received from passive foreign investment companies, see
discussion below, or in respect of certain hedged positions or in certain other
situations. The legislation enacting the reduced tax rate contains special rules
for computing the foreign tax credit limitation of a taxpayer who receives
dividends subject to the reduced tax rate. U.S. Holders of ordinary shares
should consult their own tax advisors regarding the effect of these rules in
their particular circumstances.

Disposition of Ordinary Shares

         If you sell or otherwise dispose of ordinary shares, you will recognize
gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes in an amount equal to the
difference between the amount realized on the sale or other disposition and your
adjusted tax basis in the ordinary shares. Subject to the discussion below under
the heading "Passive Foreign Investment Companies," such gain or loss generally
will be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if you
have held the ordinary shares for more than one year at the time of the sale or
other disposition. In general, any gain that you recognize on the sale or other
disposition of ordinary shares will be U.S.-source for purposes of the foreign
tax credit limitation; losses, will generally be allocated against U.S. source
income. Deduction of capital losses is subject to certain limitations under the
Code.

         In the case of a cash basis U.S. Holder who receives NIS in connection
with the sale or disposition of ordinary shares, the amount realized will be
based on the U.S. dollar value of the NIS received with respect to the ordinary
shares as determined on the settlement date of such exchange. A U.S. Holder who
receives payment in NIS and converts NIS into United States dollars at a
conversion rate other than the rate in effect on the settlement date may have a
foreign currency exchange gain or loss that would be treated as ordinary income
or loss.

         An accrual basis U.S. Holder may elect the same treatment required of
cash basis taxpayers with respect to a sale or disposition of ordinary shares,
provided that the election is applied consistently from year to year. Such
election may not be changed without the consent of the Internal Revenue Service
(the

                                       81



<PAGE>


"IRS"). In the event that an accrual basis U.S. Holder does not elect to be
treated as a cash basis taxpayer (pursuant to the Treasury regulations
applicable to foreign currency transactions), such U.S. Holder may have a
foreign currency gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes because of
differences between the U.S. dollar value of the currency received prevailing on
the trade date and the settlement date. Any such currency gain or loss would be
treated as ordinary income or loss and would be in addition to gain or loss, if
any, recognized by such U.S. Holder on the sale or disposition of such ordinary
shares.

Passive Foreign Investment Companies

         For U.S. federal income tax purposes, we will be considered a passive
foreign investment company ("PFIC") for any taxable year in which either (i) 75%
or more of our gross income is passive income, or (ii) at least 50% of the
average value of all of our assets for the taxable year produce or are held for
the production of passive income. For this purpose, passive income includes
dividends, interest, royalties, rents, annuities and the excess of gains over
losses from the disposition of assets which produce passive income. If we were
determined to be a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, highly complex
rules would apply to U.S. Holders owning ordinary shares. Accordingly, you are
urged to consult your tax advisors regarding the application of such rules.

         Based on our current and projected income, assets and activities, we
believe that we are not currently a PFIC nor do we expect to become a PFIC in
the foreseeable future. However, because the determination of whether we are a
PFIC is based upon the composition of our income and assets from time to time,
there can be no assurances that we will not become a PFIC for any future taxable
year.

         If we are treated as a PFIC for any taxable year, dividends would not
qualify for the reduced maximum tax rate, discussed above, and, unless you elect
either to treat your investment in ordinary shares as an investment in a
"qualified electing fund" (a "QEF election") or to "mark to market" your
ordinary shares, as described below:

          o    you  would  be  required  to  allocate  income   recognized  upon
               receiving   certain   dividends  or  gain   recognized  upon  the
               disposition  of ordinary  shares  ratably over the holding period
               for such ordinary shares,

          o    the amount  allocated to each year during which we are considered
               a PFIC other than the year of the dividend payment or disposition
               would be subject to tax at the highest  individual  or  corporate
               tax  rate,  as the case may be,  in  effect  for that year and an
               interest  charge would be imposed  with respect to the  resulting
               tax liability allocated to each such year,

          o    the amount  allocated to the current taxable year and any taxable
               year before we became a PFIC would be taxable as ordinary  income
               in the current year, and

          o    you would be required  to make an annual  return on IRS Form 8621
               regarding  distributions received with respect to ordinary shares
               and any gain realized on your ordinary shares.

         If you make either a timely QEF election or a timely mark-to-market
election in respect of your ordinary shares, you would not be subject to the
rules described above. If you make a timely QEF election, you would be required
to include in your income for each taxable year your pro rata share of our
ordinary earnings as ordinary income and your pro rata share of our net capital
gain as long-term capital gain, whether or not such amounts are actually
distributed to you. You would not be eligible to make a QEF election unless we
comply with certain applicable information reporting requirements.

                                       82





<PAGE>


         Alternatively, if the ordinary shares are considered "marketable stock"
and if you elect to "mark-to-market" your ordinary shares, you will generally
include in income any excess of the fair market value of the ordinary shares at
the close of each tax year over your adjusted basis in the ordinary shares. If
the fair market value of the ordinary shares had depreciated below your adjusted
basis at the close of the tax year, you may generally deduct the excess of the
adjusted basis of the ordinary shares over its fair market value at that time.
However, such deductions generally would be limited to the net mark-to-market
gains, if any, that you included in income with respect to such ordinary shares
in prior years. Income recognized and deductions allowed under the
mark-to-market provisions, as well as any gain or loss on the disposition of
ordinary shares with respect to which the mark-to-market election is made, is
treated as ordinary income or loss.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

         Payments in respect of ordinary shares may be subject to information
reporting to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and to U.S. backup withholding
tax at a rate equal to the third highest income tax rate applicable to
individuals (which, under current law, is 28%). Backup withholding will not
apply, however, if you (i) are a corporation or come within certain exempt
categories, and demonstrate the fact when so required, or (ii) furnish a correct
taxpayer identification number and make any other required certification.

         Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld under the
backup withholding rules may be credited against a U.S. Holder's U.S. tax
liability, and a U.S. Holder may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld
under the backup withholding rules by filing the appropriate claim for refund
with the IRS.

         Any U.S. holder who holds 10% or more in vote or value of our ordinary
shares will be subject to certain additional United States information reporting
requirements.

U.S. Gift and Estate Tax

         An individual U.S. Holder of ordinary shares will be subject to U.S.
gift and estate taxes with respect to ordinary shares in the same manner and to
the same extent as with respect to other types of personal property.

ITEM 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

         We are exposed to a variety of risks, including changes in interest
rates and foreign currency fluctuations.

Interest Rate Risk

         Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates is related to
our long-term and short-term loans.

         Our financial expenses are sensitive primarily to LIBOR, since the
majority of our long-term loans bear a LIBOR-based interest rate.

         The table below presents principal amounts and related weighted average
interest rates by date of maturity for our loans:

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

         We sell most of our products in North America, Europe and Israel. The
majority of our revenues and expenditures are denominated in dollars. A portion
of our revenues in Israel are made in NIS, and we expect to make NIS denominated
revenues in 2005 as well. Our foreign currency exposure with respect to our
revenues is mitigated, and we expect it will continue to be mitigated, through
salaries, materials and support operations, in which part of these costs are
denominated in NIS. Since the beginning of

                                       84



<PAGE>


2005, the NIS has decreased by approximately 5.3% against the dollar. We are
also subject to exchange rate fluctuations related to our activities in Canada.

         Because exchange rates between the NIS and the dollar fluctuate
continuously, exchange rate fluctuations, particularly larger periodic
devaluations, may have an impact on our profitability and period-to-period
comparisons of our results. In 2001 and 2002, the rate of devaluation of the NIS
against the dollar was 9.3% and 7.3%, respectively, while in 2003 and 2004 the
NIS was revaluated in relation to the dollar by 7.6% and 1.6%, respectively. A
portion of our expenses, primarily labor expenses, is incurred in NIS and a part
of our revenues are quoted in NIS. Additionally, certain assets especially trade
receivables, as well as part of our liabilities are denominated in NIS. Our
results may be adversely affected by devaluation of the NIS in relation to the
dollar (or if such devaluation is on lagging basis), if our revenues in NIS are
higher than our expenses in NIS and/or the amount of our assets in NIS are
higher than our liabilities in NIS. On the contrary, our results may be
adversely affected by the revaluation of the NIS in relation to the dollar (or
if such revaluation is on a lagging basis), if the amount of our expenses in NIS
are higher than the amount of our revenues in NIS and/or the amount of our
liabilities in NIS are higher than our assets in NIS.

         We are also subject to exchange rate fluctuations related to our
activities in Canada.

         During the three years ended December 31, 2004, foreign currency
fluctuations had an adverse impact on our results of operations, and our foreign
exchange gains (losses), net were $478,000, ($569,000) and ($120,000),
respectively. We cannot assure you that in the future our results of operations
may not be materially adversely affected by currency fluctuations.

         We periodically enter into foreign exchange contracts to offset the
risk of currency exchange rate fluctuations in connection with certain revenues.
During 2003 and 2004, we entered into forward contracts in order to hedge
portions of our forecasted revenues and unbilled accounts receivables
denominated in euro. These forward contracts are designated as cash flows
hedges, as defined by SFAS No. 133, as amended, and we believe are effective as
a hedge for these revenues when the revenues are recorded. The effective portion
of the derivative instruments is included in revenues.

         As of the December 31, 2004, we expect to reclassify $649,000 of net
losses on derivative instruments from unrealized losses on forward contracts to
earnings due to actual sales and related payments.

ITEM 15. Controls and Procedures

         Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief
financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) as of the end of the
period covered by this annual report on Form 20-F. Based upon that evaluation,
our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as
of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure
that information required to be disclosed by our company in reports that we file
or submit under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified
in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms and that such
information was made known to them by others within the company, as appropriate
to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

         There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting
that occurred during the period covered by this annual report on Form 20-F that
have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal control over financial reporting

         All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have
inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective
may not prevent or detect misstatements and can provide only reasonable
assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are
subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may
deteriorate.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

         Our audit committee has adopted a policy and procedures for the
pre-approval of audit and non-audit services rendered by our independent public
accountants, Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer and their affiliates. Pre-approval of
an audit or non-audit service may be given as a general pre-approval, as part of
the audit committee's approval of the scope of the engagement of our independent
auditor, or on an individual basis. Any proposed services exceeding general
pre-approved levels also requires specific pre-approval by our audit committee.
The policy prohibits retention of the independent public accountants to perform
the prohibited non-audit functions defined in Section 201 of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act or the rules of the SEC, and also requires the audit committee to consider
whether proposed services are compatible with the independence of the public
accountants.

             REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

                             To the Shareholders of

                           MAGAL SECURITY SYSTEMS LTD.


     We have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets of Magal
Security  Systems Ltd. (the  "Company") and its  subsidiaries as of December 31,
2003 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of income,  shareholders'
equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period  ended  December
31, 2004. Our audits  included the financial  statement  schedule  listed in the
Index  at Item 2.  These  financial  statements  are the  responsibility  of the
Company's  management.  Our  responsibility  is to  express  an opinion on these
financial statements and schedule based on our audits.


     We  conducted  our audits in  accordance  with the  standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain  reasonable  assurance about whether the
financial  statements  are free of  material  misstatement.  An  audit  includes
consideration  of  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as a basis for
designing audit  procedures that are appropriate in the  circumstances,  but not
for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the  effectiveness  of the Company's
internal  control  over  financial  reporting.  Accordingly,  we express no such
opinion. An audit also includes examining,  on a test basis, evidence supporting
the  amounts  and  disclosures  in  the  financial  statements,   assessing  the
accounting  principles  used and significant  estimates made by management,  and
evaluating the overall  financial  statement  presentation.  We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


     In our opinion,  based on our audits, the consolidated financial statements
referred to above present fairly,  in all material  respects,  the  consolidated
financial  position of the Company and its  subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003
and 2004, and the consolidated  results of their operations and their cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004, in conformity
with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

     Also,  in our  opinion,  the related  financial  statement  schedule,  when
considered  in  relation  to the basic  financial  statements  taken as a whole,
presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

               payments to be made conditioned upon the achievement of operating
               income milestones during the periods ending on December 31, 2003,
               2004 and 2005.  Since such goals have not been met, no additional
               payments  were due for the periods  ending  December 31, 2003 and
               2004. Should DW reach the earn out goals as of December 31, 2005,
               an  additional  payment  will become due.  Such  payment  will be
               recorded as additional goodwill in accordance with the provisions
               of Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards ("SFAS") No. 141
               "Business Combinations".

               DW develops  manufactures,  sells and  supports  personal  duress
               alarm  systems  that  locate  an  individual  with  accuracy  and
               reliability  in   correctional   and  other   institutions.   The
               acquisition  of the  business  activity  of DW has  expanded  the
               Company's  product line  offerings  and enabled it to provide its
               customers a comprehensive range of security systems.

               The  acquisition  was accounted for under the purchase  method of
               accounting in accordance with SFAS No. 141, and accordingly,  the
               purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired based on
               their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition.

               Based  upon  a  valuation  of  tangible  and  intangible   assets
               acquired,  the Company's  subsidiary  allocated the total cost of
               the acquisition to the assets acquired, as follows:

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

          The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
          with United  States  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  ("US
          GAAP").

          a.   Use of estimates:

               The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in  conformity  with
               generally accepted  accounting  principles requires management to
               make estimates and assumptions  that effect the amounts  reported
               in  the  financial  statements  and  accompanying  notes.  Actual
               results could differ from those estimates.

          b.   Financial statements in U.S. dollars:

               Significant  portion of the  Company's  revenues is  generated in
               U.S.  dollars  ("dollars").  Financing and  investing  activities
               including credit, loans, equity transactions and cash investments
               are executed in dollars.  The Company's  management believes that
               the dollar is the primary currency of the economic environment in
               which the Company  operates.  Thus,  the functional and reporting
               currency of the Company is the dollar.

               The dollar was also  determined to be the functional  currency of
               the Company's U.S. subsidiaries.

               Accordingly,  monetary  accounts  maintained in currencies  other
               than the dollar are  remeasured  into dollars in accordance  with
               SFAS No. 52,  "Foreign  Currency  Translation".  All  transaction
               gains and losses from the remeasured monetary balance sheet items
               are reflected in the  statement of income as financial  income or
               expenses, as appropriate.

               The  financial  statements  of  all  foreign  subsidiaries  whose
               functional  currency is their local currency,  excluding the U.S.
               ones,  have been  translated  into  dollars.  All  balance  sheet
               accounts have been translated  using the exchange rates in effect
               at the balance sheet date.  Statement of income amounts have been
               translated  using the  average  exchange  rate for the year.  The
               resulting translation  adjustments are reported as a component of
               shareholders'  equity in accumulated other  comprehensive  income
               (loss).

          c.   Principles of consolidation:

               The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
               Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  Intercompany balances
               and transactions  including  intercompany  sales not yet realized
               outside the Group, have been eliminated upon consolidation.

          d.   Cash equivalents:

               Cash  equivalents are short-term  highly liquid  investments that
               are readily  convertible  into cash with  original  maturities of
               three months or less at the date acquired.

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

          e.   Short-term and long-term bank deposits:

               Short-term  bank  deposits are deposits  with  maturities of more
               than three months and less than one year,  and presented at their
               cost.

               Bank deposits with  maturities of more than one year are included
               in long-term  bank  deposits,  and  presented at their cost.  The
               deposits are in U.S. dollars and bear interest at an average rate
               of 2.3% and mature in 2006.

          f.   Structured Notes:

               During 2003, the Company purchased structured notes ("the Notes")
               at par value totaling $3 million to be settled in 2013. Under the
               terms of the Notes, the Notes bear interest at 10% over the first
               year.  Thereafter,  interest  is  determined  based on six months
               LIBOR rates using the following formula:  10% minus two times six
               months  LIBOR  rate.  The Notes are  callable  immediately  after
               accumulating 12% interest payments.

               The  Company  accounts  for  investment  in  structured  notes in
               accordance with SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments
               in Debt and Equity  Securities"  and FASB  Emerging  Issues  Task
               Force Issue ("EITF") No. 96-12,  "Recognition  of Interest Income
               and Balance Sheet Classification of Structured Notes". Management
               determines the appropriate  classification  of its investments in
               debt  securities  at the time of purchase  and  reevaluates  such
               determinations  at each  balance  sheet  date.  Structured  notes
               securities are classified as  held-to-maturity  since  management
               believes  the  Company  has the intent and  ability to hold these
               securities  to maturity and are stated at amortized  cost.  As of
               December  31,  2003  and  2004,  the  investments  in  the  Notes
               approximate their fair market value.

          g.   Inventories:

               Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value.  The
               Group  periodically  evaluates the quantities on hand relative to
               historical and projected  sales  volumes,  current and historical
               selling prices and  contractual  obligations to maintain  certain
               levels of parts. Based on these evaluations, inventory write-offs
               are  provided  to cover risks  arising  from  slow-moving  items,
               discontinued  products,  excess inventories,  market prices lower
               than cost and adjusted  revenue  forecasts.  Such  write-offs are
               included in cost of revenues.

               Cost is determined as follows:

               Raw  materials,   parts  and  supplies  -  using  the  "first-in,
               first-out" method.

               Work in progress and  finished  products - on the basis of direct
               manufacturing  costs  with the  addition  of  allocable  indirect
               manufacturing costs.

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

               During  2002,  2003 and  2004,  the  Group  recorded  inventories
               write-offs in the amount of $244, $601 and $224, respectively.  A
               significant  portion  of the 2003  write-off  was  attributed  to
               discontinued products.

          h.   Long-term trade receivables:

               Long-term   trade   receivables   derive  from  operating   lease
               arrangements and from long-term payment arrangements.

          i.   Property and equipment:

               Property and  equipment  are stated at cost,  net of  accumulated
               depreciation.  Depreciation  is calculated  by the  straight-line
               method  over the  estimated  useful  lives of the  assets  at the
               following annual rates:

                                                              %

          j.   Intangible assets:

               Intangible  assets are amortized  over their useful lives using a
               method of  amortization  that  reflects  the pattern in which the
               economic  benefits  of the  intangible  assets  are  consumed  or
               otherwise used up, in accordance  with SFAS No. 142 "Goodwill and
               Other Intangible Assets".

               Know-how is amortized  over 8 to 10 years,  patents are amortized
               over a period  of 10 years and  technology  is  amortized  over 8
               years.

          k.   Impairment of long-lived assets:

               The   Group's   long-lived   assets  and   certain   identifiable
               intangibles  are reviewed for impairment in accordance  with SFAS
               No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long- Lived
               Assets" whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that
               the carrying  amount of a group of assets may not be recoverable.
               Recoverability  of a  group  of  assets  to be held  and  used is
               measured by a comparison  of the carrying  amount of the group to
               the future  undiscounted  cash flows  expected to be generated by
               the group.  If such group of assets is considered to be impaired,
               the  impairment  to be  recognized  is  measured by the amount by
               which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds their fair value.
               During  2002,  2003 and  2004,  no  impairment  losses  have been
               identified.

          l.   Goodwill:

               Goodwill  represents  excess of the costs over the net fair value
               of the assets of the  businesses  acquired.  Under SFAS No,  142,
               goodwill  acquired in a business  combination on or after July 1,
               2001,  shall not be  amortized,  and  goodwill  acquired in prior
               periods ceased to be amortized since January 1, 2002.

               SFAS No. 142  requires  goodwill to be tested for  impairment  on
               adoption and at least annually thereafter or between annual tests
               in certain circumstances,  and written down when impaired, rather
               than being amortized as previous  accounting  standards required.
               Goodwill  attributable  to each of the reporting  units is tested
               for impairment by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit
               with  its  carrying  value.   Fair  value  is  determined   using
               discounted  cash  flows.   Significant   estimates  used  in  the
               methodologies  include  estimates  of future cash  flows,  future
               short-term and long-term  growth rates and weighted  average cost
               of capital for each of the reportable  units.  During 2002,  2003
               and 2004, no impairment losses have been identified.

               Differences  between the  balance of goodwill as of December  31,
               2003  and  2004  derive  from  functional  currency   translation
               adjustments. The entire goodwill balance relates to the Perimeter
               segment.

          m.   Revenue recognition:

               The Group generates its revenues mainly from (1)  installation of
               comprehensive  security  systems for which revenues are generated
               from  long-term  fixed  price  contracts;  (2) sales of  security
               products;  and (3) services and maintenance,  which are performed
               either  on  fixed-price  basis  or  a  time-and-materials   basis
               contracts.

               Revenues from installation of comprehensive  security systems are
               generated from fixed price contracts  according to which the time
               between  the  signing  of the  contract  and the  final  customer
               acceptance is over a period generally exceeding one year.

               Fees are payable upon completion of agreed upon  milestones,  and
               subject to customer acceptance. Following customer acceptance for
               certain   milestone  and  only  thereafter,   services  could  be
               performed for the next milestone. Such revenues are recognized in
               accordance   with   Statement   of  Position   ("SOP")  No.  81-1
               "Accounting  for  Performance  of  Construction-Type  and Certain
               Production-Type   Contracts,"  using  contract  accounting  on  a
               percentage of completion  method,  in accordance  with the "Input
               Method".  The  amounts of  revenues  recognized  are based on the
               total fees under the agreement  and the  percentage to completion
               achieved.

               Project costs include  material  purchased to produce the system,
               related labor and overhead  expenses and  subcontractor's  costs.
               The percentage to completion is measured by monitoring  costs and
               efforts devoted using records of actual costs incurred to date in
               the project compared to the total estimated project  requirement,
               which  corresponds  to the  costs  related  to  earned  revenues.
               Estimates  of  total  project  requirements  are  based  on prior
               experience of installing  and  integrating  security  systems,  a
               history of no  collection  issues,  delivery  and  acceptance  of
               similar services and a history of no cancellation problems, which
               are reviewed and updated regularly by management.  Provisions for
               estimated losses on uncompleted  contracts are made in the period
               in which such losses are first  determined,  in the amount of the
               estimated loss on the entire contract.

               Estimated  gross  profit or loss  from  long-term  contracts  may
               change due to changes in  estimates  resulting  from  differences
               between actual performance and original  forecasts.  Such changes
               in estimated  gross profit are recorded in results of  operations
               when  they  are  reasonably  determinable  by  management,  on  a
               cumulative catch-up basis.

               The Group  believes that the use of the  percentage of completion
               method  is  appropriate  as the  Group  has the  ability  to make
               reasonably dependable estimates of the extent of progress towards
               completion,  contract  revenues and contract  costs. In addition,
               contracts  executed  include  provisions that clearly specify the
               enforceable rights regarding services to be provided and received
               by  the  parties  to  the  contracts,  the  consideration  to  be
               exchanged and the manner and the terms of  settlement,  including
               in cases of terminations for convenience.  In all cases the Group
               expects to perform its contractual  obligations and its customers
               are expected to satisfy their obligations under the contract.

               Amounts recognized in advance of contractual billing are recorded
               as unbilled accounts receivable.

               The Group sells  security  products  to  customers  according  to
               customers'  orders without  installation  work. The customers are
               not  entitled  to return the  products.  Revenues  from  security
               product  sales are  recognized  in  accordance  with SAB No.  104
               "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements",  when delivery has
               occurred,   persuasive  evidence  of  an  agreement  exists,  the
               vendor's  fee is fixed or  determinable,  no  further  obligation
               exists and collectability is probable.

               Services and maintenance  are performed under either  fixed-price
               basis or  time-and-materials  basis contracts.  Under fixed-price
               contracts,  the Group agrees to perform  certain work for a fixed
               price.   Under   time-and-materials   contracts,   the  Group  is
               reimbursed for labor hours

               at  negotiated  hourly  billing  rates  and for  materials.  Such
               service  contracts  are not in the  scope  of SOP No.  81-1,  and
               accordingly,  related  revenues are recognized in accordance with
               SAB No. 104, as those  services are performed or over the term of
               the  related   agreements   provided  that,  an  evidence  of  an
               arrangement  has been obtained,  fees are fixed and  determinable
               and collectibillity is reasonably assured.

               One  of  the  Company's   subsidiaries  provides  security  video
               monitoring services. The majority of contracts executed are for a
               five  year  term and do not  include  terms  that  result  in the
               transfer of title of the  equipment  to the  customer.  Under the
               contracts  service is not  dependent on specific  equipment.  The
               subsidiary's obligation is related to the provision of monitoring
               services.  In accordance with EITF No. 01-08 "Determining Whether
               an Arrangement  Contains a Lease" and SFAS No. 13 "Accounting for
               Leases," the service  contract does not meet the  definition of a
               lease and as such the subsidiary  recognizes monthly service fees
               over the term of the agreement.

               Deferred  revenue includes  unearned  amounts under  installation
               services, service contracts and maintenance agreements.

          n.   Accounting for stock-based compensation:

               The  Company  has elected to follow  Accounting  Principle  Board
               Opinion   ("APB")  No.  25,   "Accounting  for  Stock  Issued  to
               Employees," and FASB  Interpretation  ("FIN") No. 44, "Accounting
               for  Certain  Transactions   Involving  Stock  Compensation,"  in
               accounting for its employee stock option plans. Under APB No. 25,
               when the exercise  price of the  Company's  share options is less
               than the  market  price of the  underlying  shares on the date of
               grant, compensation expense is recognized.

               The Company  adopted the  disclosure  provisions  of SFAS No. 148
               "Accounting   for   Stock-Based   Compensation   transition   and
               disclosure",  which amended  certain  provisions of SFAS No. 123,
               "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", to provide alternative
               methods of transition for an entity that  voluntarily  changes to
               the  fair  value  based  method  of  accounting  for  stock-based
               employee compensation, effective as of the beginning of the prior
               fiscal year. The Company continues to apply the provisions of APB
               No. 25 in accounting for stock-based compensation.

               Proforma  information  regarding  net income and net earnings per
               share is required by SFAS No. 123, and has been  determined as if
               the Company had  accounted  for its employee  stock options under
               the fair value method prescribed by SFAS No. 123.

               The fair  value for  options  granted in 2004 is  amortized  over
               their  vesting  period and  estimated at the grant date using the
               Black  and  Scholes  option  pricing  model  with  the  following
               weighted-average assumptions for 2004: risk-free interest rate of
               2.46%, dividend yields of 0%, a volatility factor of the expected
               market price of the  Company's  Ordinary  shares of 0.979,  and a
               weighted average life of the option of 1.5 years.

          o.   Research and development costs:

               Research  and  development  costs  incurred  in  the  process  of
               developing product  improvements or new products,  are charged to
               expenses as incurred,  net of grants  received and investment tax
               credit.

          p.   Warranty costs:

               The Group  provides a warranty  for up to 24 months,  at no extra
               charge.  The Group estimates the costs that may be incurred under
               its  warranty and records a liability in the amount of such costs
               at the time product  revenue is recognized in accordance with FIN
               No. 45 "Guarantor's  Accounting and Disclosure  Requirements  for
               Guarantees,  Including  Indirect  Guarantees of  Indebtedness  of
               Others" and SFAS No. 5 "Accounting  for  Contingencies".  Factors
               that affect the Group's warranty  liability include the number of
               units,  historical and  anticipated  rates of warranty claims and
               cost per claim. The Group  periodically  assesses the adequacy of
               its  recorded  warranty  liabilities  and  adjusts the amounts as
               necessary. A tabular reconciliation of the changes in the Group's
               aggregate  product  warranty  liability  is not  provided  due to

          q.   Royalty-bearing grants:

               Royalty-bearing  grants from the Government of Israel for funding
               research and development  projects are recognized at the time the
               Company is  entitled  to such  grants on the basis of the related
               costs  incurred  and  recorded  as a reduction  of  research  and
               development  costs.  Research and development  grants  recognized
               amounted  to  $318,  $128  and  $228  in  2002,  2003  and  2004,
               respectively.

               The Company also  received  royalty-bearing  grants from the Fund
               for  Encouragement  of  Marketing  Activity.   These  grants  are
               recognized  at the time the Company is entitled to such grants on
               the basis of the costs  incurred  and  included as a deduction of
               selling and marketing expenses.  Total grants recognized amounted
               to $82, $0 and $0 in 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively.

          r.   Net earnings per share:

               Basic net  earnings  per share is computed  based on the weighted
               average number of shares of Ordinary  shares  outstanding  during
               each year.  Diluted net earnings  per share is computed  based on
               the  weighted   average  number  of  shares  of  Ordinary  shares
               outstanding  during each year, plus dilutive  potential shares of
               Ordinary  shares  considered  outstanding  during  the  year,  in
               accordance with SFAS No. 128 , "Earnings Per Share."

          s.   Concentrations of credit risk:

               Financial  instruments  that  potentially  subject  the  Group to
               concentrations  of credit risk  consist  principally  of cash and
               cash   equivalents,   short-term  and  long-term  bank  deposits,
               structured notes, unbilled accounts receivable, trade receivables
               and long-term trade receivables.

               Cash and cash equivalents, short-term and long-term bank deposits
               and  structured  notes are mainly  invested in major  Israeli and
               U.S. banks. Cash and cash equivalents in the United States may be
               in  excess  of  insured  limits  and are  not  insured  in  other
               jurisdictions.    Management    believes   that   the   financial
               institutions  that hold the Group's  investments  are financially
               sound and,  accordingly,  minimal credit risk exists with respect
               to these investments.

               The short-term and long-term  trade  receivables of the Group, as
               well as the unbilled accounts receivable,  are derived from sales
               to large  and  solid  organizations  and  government  authorities
               located mainly in Israel,  the United States,  Canada and Europe.
               The Group performs  ongoing  credit  evaluations of its customers
               and  to  date  have  not  experienced  any  material  losses.  An
               allowance  for doubtful  accounts is  determined  with respect to
               those  amounts  that the Group has  determined  to be doubtful of
               collection  and in  accordance  with an  aging  key.  In  certain
               circumstances,  the Group may  require  letters of credit,  other
               collateral or additional guarantees.

               The Group has no significant  off-balance sheet  concentration of
               credit  risks,  such as  foreign  exchange  contracts  or foreign
               hedging arrangements,  except derivative  instruments,  which are
               detailed in Note 2x.

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

          t.   Income taxes:

               The Group  accounts for income taxes in accordance  with SFAS No.
               109 "Accounting for Income Taxes." This statement  prescribes the
               use of the  liability  method  whereby  deferred  tax  assets and
               liability  account  balances are determined  based on differences
               between   financial   reporting  and  tax  bases  of  assets  and
               liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws
               that will be in  effect  when the  differences  are  expected  to
               reverse. The Group provides a valuation allowance,  if necessary,
               to  reduce  deferred  tax  assets to their  estimated  realizable
               value.

          u.   Severance pay:

               The Company's  liability for its Israeli employees  severance pay
               is calculated pursuant to Israel's Severance Pay Law based on the
               most recent salary of the  employees  multiplied by the number of
               years of employment,  as of the balance sheet date. Employees are
               entitled to one month's  salary for each year of  employment or a
               portion  thereof.  The  Company's  liability for its employees in
               Israel is fully  provided  by  monthly  deposits  with  insurance
               policies  and by an  accrual.  The  value  of these  policies  is
               recorded as an asset in the Company's balance sheet.

               The deposited  funds include  profits  accumulated  up to balance
               sheet date.  The deposited  funds may be withdrawn  only upon the
               fulfillment of the obligation  pursuant to Israel's Severance Pay
               Law or labor  agreements.  The  value of the  deposited  funds is
               based  on the cash  surrendered  value  of  these  policies,  and
               includes immaterial profits.

               Severance  expenses for the years ended  December 31, 2002,  2003
               and  2004,   amounted  to  approximately   $60,  $313  and  $306,
               respectively.

          v.   Fair value of financial instruments:

               The following  methods and assumptions  were used by the Group in
               estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

               (i)  The   carrying   amounts  of  cash  and  cash   equivalents,
                    short-term  bank  deposits,   trade  receivables,   unbilled
                    accounts  receivable,   short-term  bank  credit  and  trade
                    payables  approximate their fair value due to the short-term
                    maturity of such instruments.

               (ii) The  carrying   amount  of  the  Group's   long-term   trade
                    receivables,  long-term bank deposits and  structured  notes
                    approximate  their fair value.  The fair value was estimated
                    using  discounted cash flows analyses,  based on the Group's
                    investment    rates   for   similar   type   of   investment
                    arrangements.

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

               (iii)The  carrying  amounts  of the  Group's  long-term  debt are
                    estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current
                    interest rates for loans of similar terms and maturities. As
                    of  December  31,  2003,  the  fair  value  of  the  Group's
                    long-term  borrowing  was $5,564,  compared to the  carrying
                    amount of $5,714. As of December 31, 2004, the fair value of
                    the Company's  long-term  borrowing was $5,318,  compared to
                    the carrying amount of $5,349.

               (iv) The fair value of foreign currency contracts (used for hedge
                    purposes)  is estimated  by  obtaining  current  quotes from
                    investment bankers.

          w.   Advertising expenses:

               Advertising  costs  are  charged  to the  statement  of income as
               incurred.  Advertising  expenses for the years ended December 31,
               2002, 2003 and 2004, were $372, $422 and $495, respectively.

          x.   Derivative instruments:

               SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative  Instruments and Hedging
               Activities",   requires  a  company  to  recognize   all  of  its
               derivative  instruments  as either assets or  liabilities  in the
               statement of financial position at fair value. The accounting for
               changes in the fair value (i.e., gains or losses) of a derivative
               instrument   depends  on  whether  it  has  been  designated  and
               qualifies as part of a hedging  relationship and further,  on the
               type of hedging  relationship.  For those derivative  instruments
               that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, a company
               must  designate the hedging  instrument,  based upon the exposure
               being hedged.

               To  protect  against  the change in value of  forecasted  foreign
               currency cash flows resulting from certain sale arrangements, the
               Company has entered  during 2003 and 2004 into forward  contracts
               in order to hedge portions of its forecasted revenue and unbilled
               accounts receivable denominated in euro.

               For derivative  instruments  designated as cash flow hedge (i.e.,
               hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows
               that is attributable to a particular risk). The effective portion
               of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a
               component of other  comprehensive  income and  reclassified  into
               earnings  in the same line item  associated  with the  forecasted
               transaction in the same period or periods during which the hedged
               transaction affects earnings. For derivative instruments that are
               designated  and qualify as a fair value hedge (i.e.,  hedging the
               exposure  to changes in the fair value of an asset or a liability
               or an  identified  portion  thereof  that  is  attributable  to a
               particular  risk), the gain or loss on the derivative  instrument
               as  well as the  offsetting  loss  or  gain  on the  hedged  item
               attributable  to the hedged risk are  recognized in the same line
               item associated  with the hedged item in current  earnings during
               the period of the change in fair values.

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

               As of December 31, 2004, the Company  expects to reclassify  $649
               of net losses on derivative instruments from unrealized losses on
               forward  contracts  to earnings  during the next 12 months due to
               actual sales and related payments.

          y.   Reclassification:

               Certain  amounts  from  prior  years  have been  reclassified  to
               conform to the previous year's presentation. The reclassification
               had no  effect on  previously  reported  net loss,  shareholders'
               equity or cash flows.

          z.   Impact of recently issued accounting standards:

               In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, "Inventory Costs,
               an  amendment  of ARB No.  43,  Chapter  4." SFAS No.  151 amends
               Accounting  Research  Bulletin  ("ARB")  No.  43,  Chapter  4, to
               clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility  expense,  freight
               handling  costs  and  wasted  materials   (spoilage)   should  be
               recognized as current-period  charges. In addition,  SFAS No. 151
               requires  that  allocation of fixed  production  overheads to the
               costs of conversion be based on normal capacity of the production
               facilities.  SAFS  No.  151  is  effective  for  inventory  costs
               incurred  during fiscal years  beginning after June 15, 2005. The
               Company  does not expect  that the  adoption of SFAS No. 151 will
               have a material  effect on its  financial  position or results of
               operations.

               On December 16, 2004,  the FASB issued SFAS No.  123(R)  (revised
               2004),  "Share-Based  Payment,"  which is a revision  of SFAS No.
               123, "Accounting for Stock-Based  Compensation."  Generally,  the
               approach in Statement 123(R) is similar to the approach described
               in SFAS  No.  123.  However,  SFAS  No.  123  permitted,  but not
               required,  share-based  payments to  employees  to be  recognized
               based on  their  fair  values  while  SFAS  123(R)  requires  all
               share-based payments to employees to be recognized based on their
               fair  values.  SFAS 123(R) also  revises,  clarifies  and expands
               guidance  in  several  areas,  including  measuring  fair  value,
               classifying an award as equity or as a liability and  attributing
               compensation cost to reporting periods.  The new standard will be
               effective for the Company in the first interim  period  beginning
               after June 15, 2005.  The adoption of SFAS 123(R) will not have a
               significant effect on the Company's results of operations.

               received  based on the 12-month  LIBOR rate  applicable to dollar
               deposits.   The  Company  is   obligated  to  repay  the  Israeli
               Government for the grants  received only to the extent that there
               are sales of the funded products.

               Royalties  paid amounted to $131, $80 and $61 for the years ended

               Activities:

               The Israeli Government, through the Fund for the Encouragement of

               participation in expenses for foreign  marketing.  The Company is
               committed  to pay  royalties at the rate of 3% of the increase in
               export sales, up to the amount of the grants received.

               Royalties paid during the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and
               2004,  amounted to $53, $0 and $0,  respectively.  As of December

          c.   Royalty commitments to third party:

               third party.  Under the agreement,  the Company agreed to pay the
               third party  royalty  fees,  based on a formula as defined in the
               agreement. Under this agreement the Company has also committed to

                                    ===========

                  Total rent expenses for the years ended December 31, 2002,
                  2003 and 2004, were approximately $183, $368 and $671,
                  respectively.

          e.   Guarantees:

               1.   As of December 31, 2004, the Group obtained bank performance
                    guarantees and advance payment guarantees from several banks
                    mainly in Israel in the amount of $2,935.

               2.   As  of  December  31,  2004,   the  Company   obtained  bank
                    guarantees  in an  amount  of  $1,849  in  order  to  secure
                    mortgage payable by a subsidiary.

               3.   As of December 31, 2004, the Group issued a letter of credit
                    in the amount of $902, as per suppliers' demand.

          f.   Legal proceedings:

               1.   In  April  2003,  a  competitor  filed a civil  action  suit
                    against the Company and others.  The plaintiff  alleged that
                    the  failure  of  its  perimeter  systems  in  field  trials
                    executed by the  Ministry  of Defense  during 1996 and 1997,
                    resulted from intentional  damage to the fence and diversion
                    of the results of certain tests by a former  employee of the
                    Company,  who was  then a  soldier  in the  Israeli  Defense
                    Force. The plaintiff alleged that the Company, which was the
                    employer of this employee during 1995, still employed him as
                    an agent during the field  trials,  and directed the actions
                    of the former employee.  The plaintiff  requested the courts
                    to annul the field trial and sought,  approximately  $760 in
                    damages. The Company denied all of the above allegations and
                    claimed that the  plaintiff's  perimeter  system failure was
                    not  the  result  of  the  former  employee's  actions.  The
                    Company's legal counsel believes that, the Company has valid
                    defenses against the aforementioned  claims and,  therefore,
                    no provision was recorded in the financial  statements.  The
                    action is in the preliminary stage.

               2.   In June 2000,  Rapiscan Security Products Inc.  ("Rapiscan")
                    filed a lawsuit against the Company  claiming $1,600 was due
                    it in the context of an agreement  between  Rapiscan and the
                    Company.  The Company filed a counter-claim in the amount of
                    approximately   $1,350.  The  financial   statements  as  of
                    December 31, 2003 included a reserve  computed by management
                    for this litigation of approximately $1,000. On February 18,
                    2004, the court approved a settlement  agreement between the
                    Company and Rapiscan,  according to which,  the Company paid
                    Rapiscan  approximately  $653.  The reduction of $347 of the
                    $1,000 estimated  reserve was recorded in operations  during
                    the first quarter of 2004.

               All options  outstanding as of December 31, 2004 have an exercise
               price of $7.66 and a weighted average remaining  contractual life
               of 1.5 years.

               Where the Company has recorded  deferred stock  compensation  for
               options issued with an exercise price below the fair market value
               of the Ordinary shares,  the deferred stock compensation has been
               amortized and recorded as  compensation  expense ratably over the
               vesting   period  of  the   options.   Compensation   expense  of
               approximately  $17, $3 and $184 were recognized  during the years
               ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively.

          c.   Dividends:

               1.   Dividends,  if  any,  will  be  declared  and  paid  in U.S.
                    dollars.  Dividends paid to  shareholders  in Israel will be
                    converted  into  NIS  on the  basis  of  the  exchange  rate
                    prevailing   at  the  date  of  payment.   The  Company  has
                    determined  that it will  not  distribute  dividends  out of
                    tax-exempt profits.

               2.   The Company's  Board of Directors  decided on a distribution
                    of stock  dividends  of 3%, 3% and 5% in May 2002,  May 2003
                    and July 2004,  respectively.  All  shares,  options and net
                    earnings per share data have been retroactively  adjusted to
                    reflect the stock dividend.

               3.   At the Annual General Meeting of  Shareholders  held on July
                    29,  2004,  the  shareholders  approved  the  payment  of an
                    interim  cash  dividend in the amount of $0.05 per  Ordinary
                    Share  of  NIS 1 par  value  each,  which  was  declared  in
                    December 2003.

          d.   Warrants to underwriters:

               In  connection  with the 1997  follow-on  Offering,  the  Company
               issued to the underwriters,  200,000 warrants to purchase 200,000
               Ordinary  shares of the  Company.  The  warrants  were  initially
               exercisable  at an  exercise  price of 120% of the 1997  offering
               price per share  ($5.50) for a period of four  years,  commencing
               one year from the date of the 1997  offering.  As of December 31,
               2002, all 200,000 warrants were exercised on a net cash basis and
               60,703 Ordinary shares of NIS 1 par value were issued.

          e.   In May  2002,  the  Company's  Board  of  Directors  approved  an
               increase in the  authorized  Ordinary share capital to 19,748,000
               shares of NIS 1 par value.

          a.   Tax  benefits in Israel  under the Law for the  Encouragement  of
               Capital Investments, 1959, (the "Law"):

               The  Company  has  been   granted  the  status  of  an  "Approved
               Enterprise" under the Law.  Currently,  there are three expansion
               programs under which the Company is entitled to tax benefits:

               1.   In 1992,  a program of the Company was granted the status of
                    an "Approved  Enterprise".  The Company has elected to enjoy
                    the  "alternative  benefits"  track - waiver  of  grants  in
                    return for tax exemption - and,  accordingly,  the Company's
                    income from this program was tax-exempt for a period of four
                    years,  and was subject to a reduced tax rate of 15%-25% for
                    a period  ranging  between three to six years  (depending on
                    the  percentage of foreign  ownership of the  Company).  The
                    period of  benefits  under  this  program  began in 1994 and
                    terminated in 2003.

NOTE 12:- TAXES ON INCOME (Cont.)

               2.   On March 18,  1997, a program of the Company was granted the
                    status of an "Approved  Enterprise".  The Company elected to
                    enjoy the "alternative benefits" track - waiver of grants in
                    return for tax  exemption  and  accordingly,  the  Company's
                    income from this program was tax-exempt for a period of four
                    years, and is subject to a reduced tax rate of 15%-25% for a
                    period ranging between three to six years  (depending on the
                    percentage of foreign ownership of the Company).  The period
                    of  benefits  under  this  program  began  in 1998  and will
                    terminate in 2007.

               3.   On August 13, 2002, a program of the Company was granted the
                    status of an "Approved  Enterprise".  The Company elected to
                    enjoy the "alternative benefits" track - waiver of grants in
                    return for tax exemption - and,  accordingly,  the Company's
                    income from this program is  tax-exempt  for a period of two
                    years, and is subject to a reduced tax rate of 15%-25% for a
                    period of five to eight years (depending upon the percentage
                    of foreign ownership of the Company). The benefit period for
                    this program began in 2003 and will terminate in 2012.

               The  entitlement to the above  benefits is  conditional  upon the
               Company   fulfilling  the  conditions   stipulated  by  the  Law,
               regulations published there under and the letters of approval for
               the specific investments in "approved enterprises".  In the event
               of failure to comply with these  conditions,  the benefits may be
               canceled  and the Company may be required to refund the amount of
               the  benefits,  in whole or in part,  including  interest.  As of
               December 31,  2004,  management  believes  that the Company is in
               compliance with all of the aforementioned conditions.

               The period of tax benefits detailed above is subject to limits of
               the earlier of 12 years from the commencement of production or 14
               years from receiving the approval.

               Income from sources other than "Approved Enterprise",  during the
               benefit period will be subject to tax at regular rate of 35%.

               By  virtue  of  the  Law,   the  Company  is  entitled  to  claim
               accelerated  depreciation  on  equipment  used  by the  "Approved
               Enterprise" during five tax years.

               Since the Company is  operating  under more than one approval and
               since part of its taxable  income is not entitled to tax benefits
               under  the  aforementioned  law and is  taxed  at  regular  rates
               (currently  35%),  its  effective  tax  rate is the  result  of a
               weighted   combination  of  the  various   applicable  rates  and
               tax-exemptions.  The  computation is made for income derived from
               each program on the basis of formulas  determined  in the law and
               in the approvals.

               The tax-exempt income attributable to the "Approved  Enterprises"
               can be distributed to shareholders without subjecting the Company
               to taxes only upon the complete  liquidation  of the Company.  If
               the retained  tax-exempt  income is distributed in a manner other
               than in the  complete  liquidation  of the  Company,  it would be
               taxed at the corporate tax rate  applicable to such profits as if
               the  Company  had  not  chosen  the   alternative   tax  benefits
               (currently - 15%).

          b.   Measurement of taxable income under the Income Tax  (Inflationary
               Adjustments) Law, 1985:

               Under  the  Income  Tax  (Inflationary  Adjustments)  Law,  1985,
               results  for  tax  purposes  are  measured  in  real  terms,   in
               accordance  with the changes in the Israeli  Consumer Price Index
               ("Israeli  CPI").  Accordingly,   until  2002,  results  for  tax
               purposes  were measured in terms of earnings in NIS after certain
               adjustments  for  increases  in the Israeli  CPI.  Commencing  in
               taxable year 2003, the Company has elected to measure its taxable
               income  and file its tax  return  under the  Israeli  Income  Tax
               Regulations  (Principles  Regarding  the  Management  of Books of
               Account of Foreign  Invested  Companies and Certain  Partnerships
               and the  Determination  of Their Taxable  Income),  1986. Such an
               elective  obligates  the  Company for three  years.  Accordingly,
               commencing  taxable  year  2003,  results  for tax  purposes  are
               measured in terms of earnings in dollar.

          c.   Tax benefits (in Israel) under the Law for the  Encouragement  of
               Industry (Taxes), 1969:

               The  Company is an  "industrial  company"  as defined by this law
               and,  as such,  is entitled  to certain  tax  benefits  including
               accelerated  depreciation,  deduction  of the  purchase  price of
               patents and know-how and deduction of public offering expenses.

          d.   Tax rates:

               1.   On  June  29,  2004,  the  Israeli   Government  passed  the
                    Amendment to the Income Tax Ordinance (No. 140 and Temporary
                    Provision),  2004, which progressively reduces the tax rates
                    applicable to companies from 36% to 35% in 2004 to a rate of
                    30% in 2007.  The  amendment  had no impact on the Company's
                    financial statements.

               2.   The tax rates of the  Company's  subsidiaries  range between
                    25%-40%.

          e.   Investment tax credit:

               One of the Company's  subsidiaries is eligible for investment tax
               credits on its research and development activities and on certain
               current and capital  expenditures.  During fiscal year 2004,  the
               subsidiary  recognized  $176  of  investment  tax  credits  as  a
               reduction of research and  development  expenses.  In total,  the
               subsidiary has investment tax credits  available to reduce future
               federal  income  taxes  payable,  amounting  to $436,  which will
               expire at various dates from 2012 through 2014.

               The  Company's  subsidiaries  in  the  U.S.  and  the  U.K.  have
               estimated total available  carryforward  tax losses of $7,139 and

               16 to 20 years,  and an indefinite  period,  respectively.  As of
               December  31,  2004,  the  Company   recorded  a  full  valuation

               realization.

               Utilization  of U.S.  net  operating  losses  may be subject to a
               substantial  annual  limitation  due to the "change in ownership"
               provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and similar state
               provisions. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of
               net operating losses before utilization.
