G. Derivatives and Hedges

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Level 1" FSL="Default"

Market risks relating to the Company’s operations result primarily from changes in interest rates and exchange rates. The Company typically uses financial instruments to limit its exposure to those changes. The Company also typically enters into forward contracts in connection with transactions that are denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars and New Israeli Shekels (“NIS”). The Company may enter from time to time into forward contracts related to NIS, based on market conditions.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Level 1" FSL="Default"

On September 30, 2006, the Company’s liquid assets were comprised of bank deposits, and it had no investments in liquid equity securities that were subject to market fluctuations, except for its shareholdings in Tadiran. The Company’s deposits and loans are based on variable interest rates, and their value as of September 30, 2006 was therefore not exposed to changes in interest rates. Should interest rates either increase or decrease, such change may affect the Company’s results of operations due to changes in the cost of the liabilities and the return on the assets that are based on variable rates.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Level 1" FSL="Default"

The Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar. On September 30, 2006, the Company had exposure due to liabilities denominated in NIS of $95 million in excess of its NIS denominated assets. These liabilities represent mostly wages and trade payables. The amount of the Company’s exposure to the changes in the NIS-U.S. dollar exchange rate varies from time to time.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Level 1" FSL="Default"

Most of the Company’s assets and liabilities which are denominated in currencies other than the NIS and the U.S. dollar were covered as of September 30, 2006 by forward contracts and options. On September 30, 2006, the Company had forward contracts for the sale and purchase of such foreign currencies totaling $323.9 million ($135.6 million in Euro, $180.5 million in GBP and $7.8 million in other currencies). The financial derivative activities in this quarter resulted in an unrealized net loss of approximately $7.2 million, which was recorded as other comprehensive loss.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Level 1" FSL="Default"

On September 30, 2006, the Company had options for hedging future cash flow denominated in NIS in the amount of $2 million. The fair market value of the options as of September 30, 2006 was not material.

Note 1 — GENERAL

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Hang Level 2" FSL="Default"

A. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in a condensed format as of September 30, 2006, and for the nine and three months then ended, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States )U.S. GAAP( relating to the preparation of financial statements for interim periods. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP but which are not required for interim reporting purposes, have been condensed or omitted. See Note 4 for the reconciliation from U.S. GAAP to accounting principles generally accepted in Israel (Israeli GAAP).

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Level 3" FSL="Default"

These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual financial statements and accompanying notes as of December 31, 2005.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Level 3" FSL="Default"

The interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation. All such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. Reclassifications have been made to comparative data in order to conform to the current year’s presentation.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Level 3" FSL="Default"

Operating results for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2006, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2006.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Hang Level 2" FSL="Default"

B. On May 31, 2006, the Company’s U.S. subsidiary Kollsman, Inc. (“Kollsman”) acquired a 20% interest in Sandel Avionics, Inc. (“Sandel”) in consideration for $12.5 million (represented by a $10.5 million cash payment, a $1 million subscription and payment of a bridge loan and a $1 million holdback to be paid within 12 months). Sandel, based in Vista, California, produces specialized integrated display systems and other products for the commercial aviation market.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Level 3" FSL="Default"

Kollsman has an option to buy the remaining 80% interest in Sandel for a period of 30 months after the initial investment. During the option period, Kollsman has the right to representation on the Sandel board of directors, as well as several specific minority rights. In addition, Kollsman and Sandel have formed an alliance to cooperate on product development and marketing.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Level 3" FSL="Default"

The excess of the amount paid for Sandel shares acquired over their book value (excess cost) is approximately $13,200. Based on purchase price allocation analysis (“PPA”) performed by an independent advisor, this excess was attributed as follows:

Working capital Book Value in Sandel — $ 700 Excess Cost — - $ 700 Expected useful lives

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Level 3" FSL="Default"

Note 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Hang Level 2" FSL="Default"

A. The significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of these statements are identical to those applied in preparation of the latest annual financial statements, except for the adoption of FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payments” (“Statement 123(R)”) as follows:

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Level 3" FSL="Default"

Through December 31, 2005, the Company adopted the fair value based method of recording stock options for all employee stock option grants consistent with SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (SFAS No. 123”). Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement 123(R), using the modified prospective method. The adoption of Statement 123(R) did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Hang Level 2" FSL="Default"

B. In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements.

Note 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Level 3" FSL="Default"

FIN 48 utilizes a two-step approach for evaluating tax positions. Recognition (step one) occurs when an enterprise concludes that a tax position, based solely on its technical merits, is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination. Measurement (step two) is only addressed if step one has been satisfied (i.e., the position is more-likely-than-not to be sustained). Under step two, the tax benefit is measured as the largest amount of benefit, determined on a cumulative probability basis that is more-likely-than-not to be realized upon ultimate settlement.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Level 3" FSL="Default"

FIN 48 applies to all tax positions related to income taxes subject to the Financial Accounting Standard Board Statement No. 109, “Accounting for income taxes”(“FAS 109”). This includes tax positions considered to be “routine” as well as those with a high degree of uncertainty. FIN 48 has expanded disclosure requirements, which include a tabular roll forward of the beginning and ending aggregate unrecognized tax benefits as well as specific detail related to tax uncertainties for which it is reasonably possible the amount of unrecognized tax benefit will significantly increase or decrease within twelve months. These disclosures are required at each annual reporting period unless a significant change occurs in an interim period. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The cumulative effect of applying FIN 48 will be reported as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Level 3" FSL="Default"

The Company is currently evaluating the effect of the adoption of FIN 48 on its financial statements.
