MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Camtek Ltd. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), shareholders equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"
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 examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Camtek Ltd. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Default"
As discussed in Note 2Q to the consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123R Share Based Payment.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Camtek Ltd. (the Company) and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders equity and comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows for each of the three years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Default"
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the consolidated results of their operations, and their cash flows for each of the three years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTE 1 BUSINESS
Camtek Ltd. (Camtek), an Israeli corporation, is a majority owned (61.7%) subsidiary of Priortech Ltd. (Parent), an Israeli corporation listed on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange. Camtek designs, develops manufactures and markets automatic optical inspection systems (AOI systems) and related products.

The main applications along this supply chain are the production of Microelectronics, Printed Circuit Boards (PCB) and Electronic packaging. Camteks activities are conducted in one reportable business segment.
NOTE 2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
| A. | Principles of Consolidation |
|---|---|
| The | |
| accompanying consolidated financial statements, which include the accounts of | |
| Camtek and its subsidiaries (collectively the Company), are prepared in | |
| accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. All material | |
| intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. | |
| B. | Use of Estimates |
| The | |
| preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. | |
| generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make | |
| estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and | |
| liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date | |
| of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues | |
| and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from | |
| those estimates. | |
| C. | Foreign currency transactions: |
| The | |
| functional currency of the Company is the U.S. Dollar. Most of the revenue | |
| generated by the Company is from outside of Israel and a majority thereof is | |
| received in U.S. Dollars. In addition, materials and components purchased and | |
| marketing expenses incurred are either paid for in U.S. Dollars or in New | |
| Israeli Shekels (NIS) linked to changes in the U.S. Dollar/NIS exchange | |
| rate. A significant portion of the Companys expenses are incurred in Israel | |
| and paid for in NIS. Transactions not denominated in U.S. Dollar are recorded | |
| upon their initial recognition according to the exchange rate in effect on | |
| the date of the transaction. Exchange rate differences arising upon the | |
| settlement of monetary items or upon reporting the Companys monetary items | |
| at exchange rates different from that by which they were initially recorded | |
| during the period, or reported in previous financial statements, are charged | |
| to financial income or expense. | |
| D. | Cash equivalents |
| All highly | |
| liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less | |
| are considered to be cash equivalents. | |
| E. | Marketable securities |
| The Company | |
| accounts for its investments in marketable securities in accordance with | |
| Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 115 Accounting for | |
| Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. | |
| As of | |
| December 31, 2007 all marketable securities are designated as | |
| available-for-sale and accordingly are recorded at fair value. |

NOTE 2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Contd)
| E. | Marketable securities (contd) | |
|---|---|---|
| Unrealized | ||
| holding gains and losses, net of the related tax effect, on | ||
| available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and are reported as | ||
| a separate component of other comprehensive income (loss) until realized. | ||
| F. | Allowance for doubtful accounts | |
| The | ||
| allowance for doubtful accounts represent Managements best estimate of the | ||
| probable loss inherent in existing accounts receivable balances as a result | ||
| of possible non-collection. In determining the appropriate allowance, | ||
| Management bases its estimate on information available about specific | ||
| debtors, including aging of the balance, assessment of the underlying security | ||
| received, the history of write-offs, relationships with the customers and the | ||
| overall creditworthiness of the customers. | ||
| G. | Inventories | |
| Inventories | ||
| consist of completed AOI systems, AOI systems partially completed and | ||
| components, and are recorded at the lower of cost, determined by the moving | ||
| average cost method basis, or market. | ||
| Inventory write-downs are recorded for | ||
| damaged, obsolete, excess and slow-moving inventory. | ||
| H. | Fixed assets | |
| Fixed assets | ||
| are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, and are depreciated over | ||
| their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. | ||
| Annual rates | ||
| of depreciation are as follows: | ||
| Building | 2% | |
| Machinery | ||
| and equipment | 10% - 33% | |
| Office | ||
| furniture and equipment | 6% - 20% | |
| Automobiles | 15% | |
| Leasehold | ||
| improvements are amortized by the straight-line method over the lower of the | ||
| lease term or the estimated useful economic life of such improvements | ||
| I. | Intangible assets | |
| Intangible | ||
| assets, comprised of patents registration costs, are capitalized at cost and | ||
| amortized, beginning with the first year of utilization, over its expected | ||
| life of ten years. | ||
| J. | Long-lived assets | |
| The Company | ||
| applies SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of | ||
| Long-Lived Assets. This Statement requires that long-lived assets be | ||
| reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate | ||
| that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability | ||
| of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying | ||
| amount of an asset to undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated | ||
| by the asset. If the carrying amount of the long lived asset exceeds its | ||
| estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized | ||
| as computed by subtracting the fair market value of the asset from its | ||
| carrying value. | ||
| K. | Fair values of financial instruments | |
| The carrying | ||
| amounts for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, | ||
| accrued expenses and amounts due to/from affiliates approximate fair value | ||
| because of the short-term duration of those items. Marketable securities are | ||
| carried at quoted market prices, which represent fair value. The carrying | ||
| amounts of convertible loan and amounts due to or from Parent approximate | ||
| fair value because the interest rates on such amounts approximate the market | ||
| rate. |

| L. | Revenue recognition |
|---|---|
| The Company | |
| recognizes revenue from sales in accordance with Securities and Exchange | |
| Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 SAB 104 and Financial | |
| Accounting Standard Boards Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. | |
| 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables. Accordingly, the | |
| Company recognizes revenue from sales of its products when the products are | |
| installed at the customers premises and are operating in accordance with its | |
| specifications, signed documentation of the arrangement, such as a signed | |
| contract or purchase order, has been received, the price is fixed or | |
| determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. | |
| Service | |
| revenues consist mainly of revenues from maintenance contracts and are | |
| recognized ratably over the contract period. | |
| Revenue | |
| under multiple element arrangements is recognized in accordance with EITF | |
| Issue No. 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables. Under | |
| this method, if an element is determined to be a separate unit of accounting, | |
| the revenue for the element is based on fair value and determined by vendor | |
| objective evidence (VOE), accordingly, non-standard warranty, with | |
| determined VOE, is deferred as unearned revenue and is recognized ratably as | |
| revenue commencing with and over the applicable warranty term. | |
| M. | Warranty |
| The Company | |
| records a liability for product warranty obligations at the time of sale | |
| based upon historical warranty experience. The term of the warranty is | |
| generally twelve months. | |
| N. | Income taxes |
| The Company | |
| accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for | |
| Income Taxes (SFAS No. 109). This Statement prescribes the use of the | |
| asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are | |
| recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences | |
| between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are | |
| measured using the enacted tax rates and laws expected to apply to taxable | |
| income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be | |
| recovered or settled. The Company provides a valuation allowance to reduce | |
| deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be | |
| realized. Beginning with the adoption of FASB Interpretation No. 48, | |
| Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48) as of January 1, | |
| 2007, the Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those | |
| positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax | |
| positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely | |
| of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the | |
| period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company records interest | |
| and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income | |
| tax expense. | |
| O. | Research and development |
| Research and | |
| development costs are expensed as incurred. |

| P. | Earnings / Loss per ordinary share |
|---|---|
| Basic | |
| earnings/loss per ordinary share is calculated using only weighted average | |
| ordinary shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share, if relevant, gives | |
| effect to dilutive potential ordinary shares outstanding during the year. | |
| Such dilutive shares consist of incremental shares, using the treasury stock | |
| method, from the assumed exercise of share options. For the year ended | |
| December 31 2007 the effect of the exercise of all outstanding share options | |
| is anti-dilutive and has not been included in computing dilutive earnings per | |
| ordinary share. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 the effect of | |
| the exercise of all outstanding share options is dilutive, and hence was | |
| included in computing diluted earning per ordinary share. For the years ended | |
| December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, the effects of warrants and conversion of | |
| convertible loan are anti-dilutive, and have not been included in computing | |
| dilutive earnings/loss per ordinary share. | |
| Q. | Stock Option Plan |
| Prior to | |
| January 1, 2006, the Company applied the intrinsic value method as allowed by | |
| FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation and | |
| provided pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per share disclosures | |
| for employee stock option grants as if the fair-value based method defined in | |
| Statement 123 had been applied. | |
| Effective | |
| January 1, 2006, the Company adopted FASB Statement No. 123R, Share-Based | |
| Payment (Statement 123R). This statement replaces FASB Statement No. 123, | |
| Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (Statement 123) and supersedes APB | |
| No. 25. Statement 123R requires that all stock-based compensation be | |
| recognized as an expense in the financial statements and that such cost be | |
| measured at the fair value of the award. This statement was adopted using the | |
| modified prospective method of application, which requires the Company to | |
| recognize compensation cost on a prospective basis. Therefore, prior years | |
| financial statements have not been restated. Under this method, the Company | |
| recorded stock-based compensation expense for awards granted prior to, but | |
| not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, using the fair value amounts determined | |
| for pro forma disclosures under Statement 123. For stock-based awards granted | |
| after January 1, 2006, the Company recognizes compensation expense based on | |
| estimated grant date fair value using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. | |
| The | |
| following table illustrates the effect on net income for the year ended | |
| December 31, 2005 as if the Company had applied the fair value recognition | |
| provisions of Statement 123. For purposes of this pro forma disclosure, the | |
| value of the options is estimated using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model | |
| and amortized to expense over the options service periods with forfeitures | |
| recognized as they occurred. |

| S. | Recently Issued Accounting Standards | |
| 1. | In February | |
| 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, | ||
| The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities | ||
| including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (Statement 159). Statement | ||
| 159 gives the Company the irrevocable option to carry most financial assets | ||
| and liabilities at fair value that are not currently required to be measured | ||
| at fair value. If the fair value option is elected, changes in fair value | ||
| would be recorded in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS 159 is | ||
| effective for the Companys 2008 fiscal year. The Company has evaluated the | ||
| impact of this statement and believes that adoption of SFAS No. 159 | ||
| prospectively on January 1, 2008 will not have a material effect on its | ||
| consolidated financial statements. | ||
| 2. | In September | |
| 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurement | ||
| (Statement 157). Statement 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework | ||
| for the measurement of fair value, and enhances disclosures about fair value | ||
| measurements. The Statement does not require any new fair value measures. The | ||
| Statement is effective for fair value measures already required or permitted | ||
| by other standards for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The | ||
| Company is required to adopt Statement 157 beginning on January 1, 2008. | ||
| Statement 157 is required to be applied prospectively, except for certain | ||
| financial instruments. Any transition adjustment will be recognized as an | ||
| adjustment to opening retained earnings in the year of adoption. In February | ||
| 2008, the FASB approved FSP FAS 157-2, which grants a one-year deferral of | ||
| Statement 157s fair-value measurement requirements for nonfinancial assets | ||
| and liabilities, except for items that are measured or disclosed at fair | ||
| value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The Company is | ||
| currently evaluating the impact of adopting Statement 157 on its results of | ||
| operations and financial position. |

| 3. | In June |
| 2007, the FASB issued EITF Issue No. 07-03 (EITF 07-03), Accounting for | |
| Non-Refundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services to Be Used in Future | |
| Research and Development Activities. EITF 07-03 provides guidance on whether | |
| non-refundable advance payments for goods that will be used or services that | |
| will be performed in future research and development activities should be | |
| accounted for as research and development costs or deferred and capitalized | |
| until the goods have been delivered or the related services have been | |
| rendered. EITF 07-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December | |
| 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting EITF | |
| 07-03 on its results of operations and financial position. | |
| 4. | In December |
| 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 141R, Business Combinations | |
| (Statement 141R) and FASB Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in | |
| Consolidated Financial Statements an amendment to ARB No. 51 (Statement | |
| 160). Statements 141R and 160 require most identifiable assets, liabilities, | |
| noncontrolling interests, and goodwill acquired in a business combination to | |
| be recorded at full fair value and require noncontrolling interests | |
| (previously referred to as minority interests) to be reported as a component | |
| of equity, which changes the accounting for transactions with noncontrolling | |
| interest holders. Both Statements are effective for periods beginning on or | |
| after December 15, 2008, and earlier adoption is prohibited. Statement 141R will | |
| be applied to business combinations occurring after the effective date. | |
| Statement 160 will be applied prospectively to all noncontrolling interests, | |
| including any that arose before the effective date. |

Conversion price per one ordinary share is $5.50, however, in the event that the average closing price of the Companys shares as reported on Nasdaq for the sixty consecutive trading days immediately preceding the first and second anniversary of the loan agreement closing date, is lower than the conversion price in effect on such date, the conversion price in effect on such date shall be reduced to equal the higher of the average closing price and $2.00. As of December 31, 2007 the conversion price per one ordinary share is $3.19.
The Company is subject to the following main covenants:
| 1. | The shareholders equity should not decrease to below $45 million, or, $40 million as a result of dividend distributions. Shareholders equity may not decrease by more then 10%, unless such deviation is cured within three consecutive financial quarters immediately following the financial quarter in which such decrease had occurred. | | --- | --- | | 2. | The shareholders equity shall represent at least 55% of the total assets of the Company. | | 3. | The net loss shall not exceed an aggregate of $10 million in any single financial quarter or any year. | | 4. | No further borrowings which exceed the aggregate amount of $15 million (other than the loans and credit lines which were in effect at the closing date) and no new transactions with the Companys affiliates. |
As of December 31, 2007 the Company was in compliance with the aforementioned covenants.

NOTE 10 SEVERANCE PAY
Under Israeli law and labor agreements, the Israeli companies are required to make severance and pension payments to their retired or dismissed employees and to employees leaving employment in certain other circumstances.
| 1. | The liability in respect of most of its employees is discharged by participating in a defined contribution pension plan and making regular deposits with a pension fund. The liability deposited with the pension fund is based on salary components as prescribed in the existing labor agreement. The custody and management of the amounts so deposited are independent of the companies and accordingly such amounts funded (included in expenses on an accrual basis) and related liabilities are not reflected in the balance sheet. | | --- | --- | | 2. | In respect of the liability to other employees, individual insurance policies are purchased and deposits are made with recognized severance pay funds. The liability for severance pay is calculated on the basis of the latest salary paid to each employee multiplied by the number of years of employment. The liability is covered by the amounts deposited including accumulated income thereon as well as by the unfunded provision, which amounted to $268 and $222 thousand as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. | | 3. | Severance pay expenses were $851, $750 and $544 thousand in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. |

| 1. | On May 10, |
| 2004, a lawsuit was filed against the Company in the District Court in | |
| Nazareth, Israel, by a competitor, Orbotech Ltd., alleging that the Dragon | |
| and Falcon systems infringe upon a patent held by Orbotech Ltd. and | |
| requesting an injunctive relief and damages. Currently, the issue dealt with | |
| by the court is the validity of the asserted patent, which expired in | |
| February 2008. The Company based on the opinion of its legal advisors, | |
| believes that any liability arising from the law suit is not probable. | |
| Accordingly, no provision has been recorded by the Company. | |
| 2. | On February |
| 23, 2005, a lawsuit was filed against the Company in the District Court in | |
| Jerusalem by Orbotech Ltd., alleging infringement of patent held by Orbotech | |
| Ltd. regarding a specific illumination block, seeking injunctive relief and | |
| damages. The court ruled, based on a courts scientific advisor opinion, that | |
| the Company allegedly infringed the patent, and granted Orbotech a | |
| provisional remedy. Following the grant of the provisional remedy by the | |
| District Court, the Company filed a motion for leave to appeal. The Supreme | |
| Court rejected the Companys request since the provisional remedy was granted | |
| on the basis of prime facie evidence only. The claim is currently in the | |
| preliminary stage of discovery and only after evidence is presented and cross | |
| examinations are conducted will a final judgment be rendered by the District | |
| Court, subject to the right to appeal. The particular illumination block was | |
| at the time of the preliminary ruling still in a development stage. The | |
| Companys temporary inability to manufacture and sell the specific | |
| illumination block, does not affect its ability to manufacture and sell products | |
| incorporating other illumination blocks; the Company manufactures its | |
| products with several other illumination blocks. In February 2007 the patent | |
| referring to the specific illumination block expired. The Company has filed | |
| two requests for the lawsuit to be dismissed. The Company based on the | |
| opinion of its legal advisors, believes that any liability arising from the | |
| law suit is not probable. The Company further believes that it has claims | |
| with respect to the validity of the asserted patent, as well as other | |
| defenses such as estoppel and lack of good faith on the part of Orbotech. | |
| Accordingly, no provision has been recorded by the Company. | |
| 3. | On July 14, |
| 2005, a lawsuit was filed against the Company in the United States District | |
| Court for the District of Minnesota by one of the Companys competitors in | |
| the field of semiconductor manufacturing and packaging, August Technology | |
| Corporation (today Rudolph Technologies Inc. together with August Technology | |
| Corporation), alleging infringement of a patent and seeking injunctive relief | |
| and damages. The Company has filed an answer and counterclaims alleging, | |
| inter-alia, non-infringement, invalidity and unenforceability of the patent. | |
| The fact and expert discovery have been completed. On February 2008, the Company | |
| filled a motion for summary judgment of invalidity of the asserted patent. A | |
| Hearing on Camteks motion for summary judgment was held on April 25, 2008. | |
| The court took the motion under advisement and will issue an order in due | |
| course. The Company based on the opinion of its legal advisors, believes that | |
| any liability arising from the Augusts allegations is not probable. | |
| Accordingly, no provision has been recorded by the Company. | |

NOTE 12 CONCENTRATION OF RISK
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash equivalents, short-term bank deposits, marketable securities and trade receivables. The Companys cash equivalents and marketable securities are maintained with high-quality institutions and the composition and maturities of investments are regularly monitored by management. Generally, these securities and deposits are traded in a highly liquid market, may be redeemed upon demand and bear minimal risk.
The Companys marketable securities include auction rate securities and highly rated corporate bonds. The trade receivables of the Company are derived from sales to a large number of customers, mainly large industrial corporations located mainly in Asia, the United States and Europe. The Company generally does not require collateral: however, in certain circumstances, the Company may require letter of credit, other collateral or additional guarantees. An allowance for doubtful accounts is determined with respect to those amounts that the Company has determined to be doubtful of collection. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers. The carrying amounts of financial instruments approximate fair value.
NOTE 13 SHAREHOLDERS EQUITY
| A. | Initial Public Offering |
|---|---|
| The Company shares are traded on the NASDAQ National Market under the | |
| symbol of CAMT. | |
| In December 2005 the Company registered its shares to be listed and | |
| traded in the Tel-Aviv stock exchange. | |
| B. | Private Placement |
| In April 2006, the Company raised $14.5 million, net of issuance | |
| expenses, by issuing 2,525,252 ordinary shares at a price of $5.94 per share | |
| in a private placement to Israeli institutional investors. The private | |
| placement also included warrants that are exercisable into 1,262,626 ordinary | |
| shares at a price of $6.83 per share during a period of four years. The | |
| warrants issued in April 2006 have been classified in equity. | |
| C. | Stock Option Plan |
| As of December 31, 2007, the Company has five stock option plans for | |
| employees and directors. Future options will be granted only pursuant to the | |
| 2003 Share Option Plan described below. | |
| In October 2003, the Company adopted a stock option plan (the Plan) | |
| pursuant to which the Companys board of directors may grant stock options to | |
| officers and key employees. The total number of options, which may be granted | |
| to directors, officers, employees and consultants under this plan, is limited | |
| to 998,800 options. Stock options can be granted with an exercise price equal | |
| to or less than the stocks fair market value at the date of grant. All stock | |
| options have 10-year terms and vest and become fully exercisable after 4 | |
| years from the date of grant with 30% to vest at the end of each of the first | |
| three years and remaining 10% to vest at the end of the fourth year following | |
| the grant date. | |
| As of December 31, 2007, there were no additional shares available | |
| for the Company grant under the Plan. The fair value of each option award is | |
| estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model | |
| that used the weighted average assumptions in the following table. The | |
| risk-free rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. | |
| Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. |

NOTE 17 INCOME TAXES
| A. | Tax under various laws |
|---|---|
| The Company | |
| and its subsidiaries are assessed for tax purposes on an unconsolidated | |
| basis. The Company is assessed under the provisions of the Income Tax Law | |
| (Inflationary Adjustments), 1985 (the inflationary Adjustments Law), | |
| pursuant to which the results for tax purposes are measured in Israeli | |
| currency in real terms in accordance with changes in the Israeli Consumer | |
| Price Index (CPI). Each of the subsidiaries is subject to the tax rules | |
| prevailing in the country of incorporation. | |
| B. | Tax benefits under the Law for Encouragement of Capital Investments, |
| 1959 (the Investment Law) | |
| The | |
| Companys production facilities have been granted Approved Enterprise | |
| status under the Investment Law. The Company participates in the Alternative | |
| Benefits Program and, accordingly, income from its Approved Enterprises will | |
| be tax exempt for a period of 10 years, commencing in the first year in which | |
| the Approved Enterprise first generates taxable income due to the fact that | |
| the Company operates in Zone A in Israel. | |
| On April 1, | |
| 2005, an amendment to the Investment Law came into effect (the Amendment) | |
| and has significantly changed the provisions of the Investment Law. The | |
| Amendment limits the scope of an enterprise, which may be approved by the | |
| Investment Center by setting criteria for the approval of a facility as a | |
| Beneficiating Enterprise, such provisions generally require that at least | |
| 25% of the Beneficiating Enterprises income will be derived from export. | |
| Additionally, the Amendment enacted major changes in the manner in which tax | |
| benefits are awarded under the Investment Law so that companies no longer | |
| require Investment Center approval in order to qualify for the tax benefits. | |
| In addition, | |
| the Amendment provides that terms and benefits included in any approval | |
| certificate issued prior to December 31, 2004 will remain subject to the | |
| provisions of the Investment Law as they were on the date of such prior | |
| approval. Therefore, the Companys existing Approved Enterprise will | |
| generally not be subject to the provisions of the Amendment. As a result of | |
| the Amendment, tax-exempt income generated under the provisions of the new | |
| law, as part of a new Beneficiating Enterprise, will subject the Company to | |
| taxes upon distribution or liquidation. | |
| The Company | |
| has been granted the status of Approved Enterprises, under the Investment | |
| Law, for investment programs for the periods ending in 2007 and 2010, and the | |
| status of Beneficiating Enterprise according to the Amendment, for the period | |
| ending in 2014 (Programs). Out of the Companys retained earnings as of | |
| December 31, 2007 approximately $19.4 million are tax-exempt earnings | |
| attributable to its Approved Enterprise and approximately $ 2.8 million are | |
| tax-exempt earnings attributable to its Beneficiating Enterprise. The | |
| tax-exempt income attributable to the Approved and Beneficiating Enterprises | |
| cannot be distributed to shareholders without subjecting the Company to | |
| taxes. If these retained tax-exempt profits are distributed, the Company | |
| would be taxed at the reduced corporate tax rate applicable to such profits | |
| (currently - 25% pursuant to the implementation of the Investment Law; | |
| effectively 33%). According to the Amendment, tax-exempt income generated | |
| under the Beneficiating Enterprise will be taxed upon dividend distribution | |
| or complete liquidation, whereas tax exempt income generated under the | |
| Approved Enterprise will be taxed only upon dividend distribution (but not | |
| upon complete liquidation, as the tax liability will be incurred by the | |
| shareholders). As of December 31, 2007, if the income attributed to the | |
| Approved Enterprise were distributed as dividend, the Company would incur a | |
| tax liability of approximately $4.9 million. If income attributed to the | |
| Beneficiating Enterprise were distributed as dividend, or upon liquidation, | |
| the Company would incur a tax liability in the amount of approximately $ 0.7 | |
| million. These amounts will be recorded as an income tax expense in the | |
| period in which the Company declares the dividend. |

| B. | Tax benefits under the Law for Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959 (the Investments Law) (contd) | | --- | --- | | | The Company intends to indefinitely reinvest the amount of its tax-exempt income and not distribute any amounts of its undistributed tax exempt income as dividend. Accordingly, no deferred tax liabilities have been provided on income attributable to the Companys Approved and Beneficiating Enterprise Programs as the undistributed tax exempt income is essentially permanent in duration. | | | The entitlement to the above benefits is conditional upon the Companys fulfilling the conditions stipulated by the law and the regulations published thereunder as well as the criteria set forth in the approval for the specific investments in the Approved Enterprises. In the event of failure to meet such requirements in the future, income attributable to its Programs could be subject to the statutory Israeli corporate tax rates and the Company could be required to refund a portion of the tax benefits already received, with respect to such Programs. The Companys management believes that the Company has met the aforementioned conditions. | | C. | Tax benefits 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, mainly accelerated depreciation as prescribed by regulations published under the Inflationary Adjustments Law and the right to deduct issuance costs as an expense for tax purposes. | | D. | Composition of income (loss) before income taxes and income tax expense (benefit) |

| Net deferred tax assets | 736 | 649 |
| * Other

|---|
| Under SFAS |
| No. 109, deferred tax assets are to be recognized for the anticipated tax |
| benefits associated with net operating loss carryforwards and deductible |
| temporary differences, unless it is more likely than not that some or all of |
| the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The adjustment is made by a |
| valuation allowance. |
| Since the |
| realization of the net operating loss carryforwards and deductible temporary |
| differences is uncertain and not considered more likely than not, a valuation |
| allowance has been established to reduce deferred tax assets to their |
| estimated realizable value. The net change in the total valuation allowance |
| was an increase of $ 2,445 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2007 and a |
| decrease of $ 501 thousand, and $ 1,548 thousand for the years ended December |
| 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. |
| As of |
| December 31, 2007, Camtek has not provided for income taxes on the |
| undistributed earnings of approximately US$ 1,500 thousand of one of its |
| foreign subsidiaries since these earnings are intended to be indefinitely |
| reinvested. A deferred tax liability will be recognized when the Company no |
| longer demonstrates that it plans to indefinitely reinvest these |
| undistributed earnings. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of |
| additional taxes that might be payable on such undistributed earnings. |
| As of |
| December 31, 2007, the Company and its subsidiary in Israel have NOL |
| carryforwards aggregating approximately $7,810 thousand, and NOL available |
| for offset from Approved and Beneficiating Enterprises aggregating |
| approximately $14,942 thousands. |
| As of |
| December 31, 2007, the major foreign subsidiaries have NOL carryforwards |
| aggregating approximately $4,842 thousand, of which approximately $2,764 |
| thousand will expire from 2009 to 2023 and approximately $2,078 thousand can |
| be carried forward indefinitely. |

NOTE 17 INCOME TAXES (Contd)
| G. | Reduction in corporate income tax rate in Israel |
|---|---|
| On July 25, | |
| 2005, an amendment to the Israeli tax law was approved by the Israeli | |
| parliament, which reduces the | |
| tax rates imposed on Israeli companies to 31% for 2006. This amendment states that the corporate tax rate will | |
| be further reduced in subsequent tax years as follows: in2007 29%, in 2008 27%, in 2009 26% and | |
| thereafter 25%. This change does not have a material effect on the Companys financial | |
| statements. | |
| H. | On February |
| 26, 2008, the Israeli Income Tax Law (Inflationary Adjustments) (Amendment | |
| No. 20) (Restriction of Period of Application) 2008 (the 2008 Amendment) | |
| was passed by the Knesset. According to the 2008 Amendment, the Inflationary | |
| Adjustments Law will no longer be applicable subsequent to the 2007 tax year, | |
| except for certain transitional provisions. Further, according to the 2008 | |
| Amendment, commencing with the 2008 tax year, the adjustment of income for | |
| the effects of inflation for tax purposes will no longer be calculated. | |
| Additionally, depreciation on fixed assets and tax loss carryforwards will no | |
| longer be linked to future changes in the CPI subsequent to the 2007 tax | |
| year, and the balances that have been linked to the CPI through the end of | |
| the 2007 tax year will be used going forward. | |
| I. | Accounting for uncertainty in income taxes |
| FIN 48 | |
| clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an | |
| enterprises financial statements in accordance with FAS 109. This | |
| interpretation prescribes a minimum recognition threshold a tax position is | |
| required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 | |
| also provides guidance on derecognition of tax positions, classification on | |
| the balance sheet, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, | |
| disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 requires significant judgment in | |
| determining what constitutes an individual tax position as well as assessing | |
| the outcome of each tax position. | |
| The Company | |
| adopted the provisions of FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007, and there was no | |
| effect on the financial statements. As a result, the Company did not record | |
| any cumulative effect adjustment related to adopting FIN 48. | |
| As of | |
| January 1, 2007, and for the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company did | |
| not have any unrecognized tax benefits. In addition, the Company does not | |
| expect that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly | |
| within the next twelve months. | |
| The Company | |
| accounts for interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a | |
| component of income tax expense. As of January 1, 2007 and for the | |
| twelve-month period ended December 31, 2007, no interest and penalties | |
| related to unrecognized tax benefits have been accrued. | |
| The Company | |
| files its income tax returns in Israel while its principle foreign | |
| subsidiaries file their income tax returns in Belgium, Hong-Kong and United | |
| States of America. The Israeli tax returns of the Company and its Israeli | |
| subsidiary are open to examination by the Israeli Tax Authorities for the tax | |
| years beginning in 2003 while the tax returns of its principle foreign | |
| subsidiaries remain subject to examination for the tax years beginning in | |
| 1997 in Belgium, 2001 in Hong-Kong and 2004 in the United States of America. |

Registration Rights Agreement with Parent
On March 1, 2004, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement providing for the Company to register with the SEC certain of its ordinary shares held by Parent. This registration rights agreement may be used in connection with future offerings of our ordinary shares, and includes, among others, the following terms: (a) Parent is entitled to make up to three demands that we register our ordinary shares held by Parent, subject to delay due to market conditions; (b) Parent will be entitled to participate and sell the Companys ordinary shares in any future registration statements initiated by the Company, subject to delay due to market conditions; (c) the Company will indemnify Parent in connection with any liabilities incurred in connection with such registration statements due to any misstatements or omissions other than information provided by Parent, and Parent will indemnify the Company in connection with any liabilities incurred in connection with such registration statements due to any misstatements or omissions in written statements by Parent made for the purpose of their inclusion in such registration statements; and (d) the Company will pay all expenses related to registrations which the Company has initiated, except for certain underwriting discounts or commissions or legal fees, and Parent will pay all expenses related to a registration initiated at its demand in which the Company is not participating.
On December 30, 2004, the Registration Rights Agreement with Parent was amended. The amendment concerns primarily the grant of unlimited shelf registration rights thereunder to Parent with respect to its holdings in us, and the assignability of those shelf registration rights to its transferees.
Employment Agreements with the CEO and the COO
Effective January 1, 1998, the Company entered into an employment agreement with its Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Pursuant to his employment agreement, the CEO may dedicate up to 20% of his time to work for Parent or any of the Parents entities.
Also effective January 1, 1998, the Company entered into an employment agreement with its Executive Vice President, Business & Strategy (EVP). Pursuant to his employment agreement, the EVP may dedicate up to 40% of his time to work for Parent or any of the Parents entities.
The CEO works on a full time basis for the Company and therefore receives a full time salary, while the EVP receives from the Company 60% of a full time salary. The EVP is compensated directly by each of the Parent entities for which he works. The CEO also serves as the Chairman of Parent, and the EVP also serves as the Chief Executive Officer and as a director of Parent.
The CEO and EVP do not receive any additional compensation for their service as the Companys directors.

| A. | On January 1, 2008 132,800 RSU were granted to employees. | | --- | --- | | B. | On March 7, 2008, a purported class action complaint (the Class Action Complaint), Yuval Lapiner v. Camtek, Ltd. et al., Case No. 08-01327-MMC, was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of purchasers of our common stock between November 22, 2005 and December 20, 2006. The Class Action Complaint names the Company and certain of our directors and officers as defendants. It alleges that the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, and breached fiduciary duties by making false and misleading statements in the Companys SEC filings and press releases. The plaintiffs seek unspecified compensatory damages against the defendants, as well as attorneys fees and costs. At this preliminary stage, before the Company has submitted its response, management does not believe that the Class Action Complaint has merit and intends to defend itself vigorously. Accordingly, no provision has been made in the financial statements in respect of this claim. |
