Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Camtek Ltd.

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 Company’s 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”.

To the Shareholders of Camtek Ltd.

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 Company’s 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 Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements As of December 31, 2007

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. Camtek’s AOI systems are used for yield enhancement for various applications in the electronic supply chain industry. The main applications along this supply chain are the production of Microelectronics, Printed Circuit Boards (PCB) and Electronic packaging. Camtek’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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.

and its subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements As of December 31, 2007

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d)

E. Marketable securities (cont’d)
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 Management’s 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 Board’s 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 customer’s 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 Company’s 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 157’s 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.

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. |

the Company continues to be obligated in the event of commercial disputes,
(such as product defects) which are not covered under the credit insurance
policy, unrelated to the credit worthiness of the customer. The Company
accounts for the factoring of its financial assets in accordance with the
provisions of SFAS 140 “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of
Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities- a replacement of FASB
Statement No. 125” . The Company does not expect any reimbursements
to take place in the foreseeable future.

D.
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 court’s 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 Company’s 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
Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Camtek’s 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 August’s allegations is not probable.
Accordingly, no provision has been recorded by the Company.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements As of December 31, 2007

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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 stock’s 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.

D. Restricted Share Unit Plan

In August 2007, the Company adopted a Restricted Share Unit (“RSU”) Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to which the Company’s board of directors may grant shares to officers and key employees . The total number of shares, which may be granted to directors, officers, employees and consultants under this plan, is limited to 180,000 authorized but unissued Shares.

The Exercise Price for each Grantee shall be as determined by the Board and specified in the applicable RSU Notice of Grant; provided, however, that unless otherwise determined by the Board (which determination shall not require shareholder approval unless so required in order to comply with Mandatory Law), the Exercise Price shall be no more than the underlying Share’s nominal value. For the removal of any doubt, the Board is authorized (without the need for shareholder approval unless so required in order to comply with Mandatory Law) to determine that the Exercise Price of an RSU is to be $0.00.

Unless otherwise determined by the Board with respect to any specific Grantee or to any specific grant, (which determination shall not require shareholder approval unless so required in order to comply with Mandatory Law) and provided accordingly in the applicable RSU Notice of Grant, the RSUs shall vest (become automatically exercised) according to the following 4-year vesting schedule:

a. Upon the completion of a full 12 (twelve) months of continuous Service – 25% .

b. Upon the lapse of each full additional 3 (three) month(s) of the Grantee’s continuous Service thereafter, until all the RSU are vested, i.e. 100% of the grant will be vested after 4 years. – 6.25% .

On December 27, 2007, 25,200 RSU were granted. The share price at the grant date was $1.88. The total compensation amounted to $47 thousands, which is being amortized over vesting period. All of the RSU’s are not yet vested. (see also note 19)

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
Company’s 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 Enterprise’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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.

Accordingly, no deferred tax liabilities have been provided on income attributable to the Company’s 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 Company’s 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.

| * 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.

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 Company’s 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
enterprise’s 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 Company’s 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 Parent’s 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 Parent’s 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 Company’s directors.
