The Company's parent Company, Priortech Ltd ("Priortech"), which is a publicly traded company on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange, is required to implement, as of January 1, 2007, a new accounting standard (Accounting Standard No. 30 of the Israel Accounting Standard Board which was published in March 2007 (the "Standard")). The Standard is based on the International Accounting Standard No. 38, which determines the accounting treatment, realization, measurement and disclosure demands regarding intangible assets.

Until the Standard became valid, the practice in Israel had been to write off research and development expenses in the profit and loss statement. According to the Standard, development expenses for research or minor adaptation of existing products and applications will continue to be written-off in the profit and loss statement. Development of new products and new implementations will be capitalized as an asset as long as they comply with the conditions set forth in the Standard. These conditions include, amongst other things, technological feasibility evidence; intention and ability to complete development of the intangible assets and to use it or sell them; expectation of future economic benefits from the intangible asset; existence of technical resources; financial resources and the ability to measure the expenses which can be attributed to the asset during its development.

Intangible assets with finite useful life are amortized. Intangible assets with indefinite useful life are not depreciated. The Standard requires that the amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life shall be reviewed by the Company at least at each financial year-end, or at any time there is an indicator that the asset may be impaired.

The amount of Camtek's capitalized development expenses, reflected on Priotech's consolidated statements for 31 March 2007 was NIS 9,938 thousand or app. US$ 2,453 thousand.
