The Company is herewith reports that on January 26, 2016 the Company through Unitronics Systems Inc. (a second-tier subsidiary incorporated in the United States and wholly owned by a wholly owned Company subsidiary, Unitronics Automated Solutions Ltd.), signed an agreement ("the Agreement") with a US customer unrelated to the Company or its interested parties ("the Customer") for the construction of a 300-spaces automated parking facility in an apartment building located in New Jersey in the United States ("the Project").
Under the Agreement, the Company is expected to receive a total consideration of USD 4.5 million (NIS 17.5 million), to be paid according to progress in the achievement of milestones. The Company will recognize in its financial statements income from the Project according to the percentage of completion method, with the percentage of completion determined based on completion of stages of work in the Project.
