CAMTEK LTD. TO CONTEST TAX ASSESSMENTS

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

MIGDAL HAEMEK, Israel – December 25, 2003 – Camtek Ltd. (NASDAQ: CAMT), announced today that it has received a tax assessment, which it disputes, from the Israeli income tax authorities with respect to the 1999, 2000 and 2001 tax years, pursuant to which the tax authorities assert that Camtek owes tax on its annual revenues in the amounts of $500,000, $4.5 million, and $1.7 million, respectively.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Camtek disputes these assessments on both factual and legal grounds. Camtek is entitled to file an Objection to these assessments before the Tax Assessor, and intends to do so. Any decision by the Tax Assessor with respect to the Objection may in turn be appealed to the District Court.

Camtek believes, based on tax advice it has received, that these assessments will be struck down in their entirety or in majority, and thus does not intend at this time to make any material changes to the amounts of the tax expenses and reserves included in its financial statements.
