I. Derivatives and Hedges
MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Level 1" FSL="Default"
Market risks relating to the Companys 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 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 June 30, 2007, the Companys liquid assets were comprised of bank deposits and short and long-term bonds. The Companys deposits and loans are based on variable interest rates, and their value as of June 30, 2007 was therefore not exposed to changes in interest rates. Should interest rates either increase or decrease, such change may affect the Companys 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 Companys functional currency is the U.S. dollar. On June 30, 2007, the Company had exposure due to liabilities denominated in NIS of $116 million in excess of its NIS denominated assets. These liabilities represent mostly wages and trade payables. The amount of the Companys exposure to the changes in the NIS-U.S. dollar exchange rate varies from time to time, and as indicated above, impacted the Companys expenses for the second quarter of 2007.

Most of the Companys assets and liabilities which are denominated in currencies other than the NIS and the U.S. dollar were covered as of June 30, 2007 by forward contracts. On June 30, 2007, the Company had forward contracts for the sale and purchase of such foreign currencies totaling $321.4 million ($144.3 million in Euro, $170.1 million in GBP and $7 million in other currencies).

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

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Hang Level 1" FSL="Default"
A. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in a condensed format as of June 30, 2007, and for the three and six 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.
MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Level 2" FSL="Default"
These statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys annual financial statements and accompanying notes as of December 31, 2006.
MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Level 2" 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 the balance sheet as of December 31, 2006 in order to conform to the current years presentation.
MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Level 2" FSL="Default"

Note 1 - GENERAL (Cont.)
MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Level 2" FSL="Default"
The assets and liabilities recorded in connection with the PPA for the Tadiran acquisition are based upon preliminary estimates of fair values for contracts in process, inventories, estimated costs in excess of estimated contract value to complete contracts in process in a loss position, contingent assets and liabilities, identifiable intangibles, goodwill, property, plant and equipment and deferred income taxes. Actual adjustment will be based on the final appraisals and other analysis of fair values, which are in process. The Company expects to complete the PPA during 2007. The Company does not expect the difference between the preliminary and final PPA for this business acquisition to have a material impact on its results of operations or financial position.
MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Level 2" FSL="Default"
Following the acquisition of the Tadiran shares in the second quarter of 2007, the Company identified and wrote-off duplicated inventories and equipment and accrued termination costs in a total amount of $10,482, which was recorded as restructuring costs in the cost of revenues.
MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Level 2" FSL="Default"
The following unaudited proforma data is based on historical financial statements of the Company and Tadiran and is provided for comparative purposes only. The proforma information does not purport to be indicative of the results that actually would have occurred had the purchase of the shares been consummated prior to the beginning of the reported periods.
MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Level 2" FSL="Default"
The proforma information reflects the results of the Companys operations assuming that Tadirans results were included in the Companys consolidated results prior to each of the reported periods and under the following assumptions:
MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Hang Level 2" FSL="Default"
(1) Intangible assets (customer relationships, backlog, brand name and technology) arising from the acquisition of the Tadiran shares of approximately $228,000, net of related deferred taxes of approximately $57,000, is amortized over a period of 2-15 years.
MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Hang Level 2" FSL="Default"
(2) Excess of cost over equity purchased allocated to real estate assets of approximately $1,800, net of related deferred taxes of approximately $450, is amortized over a period of 20 years.
MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Hang Level 2" FSL="Default"
(3) The cost attributed to purchase IPR&D projects, in the amount of approximately $16,560, has been charged to operations immediately as a non-recurring item and is not included in the proforma consolidated results.

Note 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Hang Level 1" 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. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48).
MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Level 2" FSL="Default"
The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold for a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return that is required to be met before being recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. As of January 1, 2007, our unrecognized tax benefit (tax contingencies) totaled $18,750. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, our tax contingencies increased by $4,846, which were recorded as a reduction to retained earnings. We do not expect a significant increase or decrease in unrecognized tax benefits over the next 12 months.
MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Level 2" FSL="Default"
We record interest related to our tax contingencies as income tax expense. Our January 1, 2007 tax contingencies include $2,450 of interest.
MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Level 2" FSL="Default"
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to examination by various tax authorities in jurisdictions such as Israel, the United States and Europe. With respect to the Company and its major subsidiaries, we have completed the examinations by the tax authorities for tax years through 2000. Certain subsidiaries are under examination of the tax authorities for the years 2001-2005. The Company does not expect any adverse affect will result from their examination.
MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Hang Level 1" FSL="Default"
B. Other new pronouncements issued but not effective as of June 30, 2007 are not expected to have a significant effect on the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations, with the possible exception of the following, which are currently being evaluated by management:
MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Hang Level 2" FSL="Default"
(1) In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specific election dates and report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2008. Management is currently evaluating the effect that adoption of this statement will have on the Companys consolidated financial position and results of operations when it becomes effective in 2008.
MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Hang Level 2" FSL="Default"
(2) In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurement, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for consistently measuring fair value under GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurement. SFAS No. 157 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2008, and the provisions of SFAS No. 157 will be applied prospectively as of that date. Management is currently evaluating the effect that adoption of this statement will have on the Companys consolidated financial position and results of operations when it becomes effective in 2008.
MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Hang Level 1" FSL="Default"
C. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in U.S. dollars since the functional currency of the primary economic environment in which the operations of the Group (which includes Elbit Systems Ltd. and its subsidiaries) are conducted is the U.S. dollar.

Note 4 - STOCK OPTION PLAN
MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Level 2" FSL="Default"
In January 2007, the Companys shareholders approved the Companys 2007 Option Plan (the Plan) to employees of the Company and certain subsidiaries. The options include: (i) Regular Options up to 1,250,000 options exercisable into 1,250,000 shares of the Company in consideration for the exercise price, all or any portion of which may be granted as Incentive Stock Options (Regular Options) and (ii) Cashless Options up to 1,250,000 options, which entitle the participant to exercise options for an amount reflecting only the benefit factor (Cashless Options). Each of the participants is granted an equal amount of Regular Options and Cashless Options. The exercise price for Israeli participants is the average closing price of the Companys share during 30 trading days preceeding the options grant date. The exercise price of options granted to a non-Israeli participant residing in the United States is the fair market value of the share on the date the options are granted.
MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Level 2" FSL="Default"
According to the Plan, the options granted on a certain date (the Commencement Date) will become vested and exercisable in accordance with the following vesting schedule:
MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Hang Level 2" FSL="Default"
(1) Fifty percent (50%) of the options will be vested and exercisable from the second anniversary of the Commencement Date;
MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Hang Level 2" FSL="Default"

Aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding options as of June 30, 2007, related to the above mentioned option plans amounts to $25,500. The aggregate intrinsic value represents the total intrinsic value (the difference between the Companys closing stock price on the last trading day of the second quarter of 2007 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on June 30, 2007. This amount changes based on the fair market value of the Companys stock.
MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Level 2" FSL="Default"
Compensation expenses, related to the above mentioned option plans, net amounting to $2,161 were recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2007. The expenses were recorded based on SFAS No. 123(R) and SAB 107. As of June 30, 2007, there was approximately $18,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Plan.

Note 5 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Level 2" FSL="Default"
On July 4, 2007, the Company announced it was advised that a claim was filed by certain minority shareholders of ImageSat International N.V. (ImageSat). The claim was filled in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against ImageSat, Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd. (IAI), the Company and certain current and former officers and directors of ImageSat. ImageSats largest shareholder is IAI, holding approximately 46% of ImageSats issued share capital. Elbit Systems Electro-Optics Elop Ltd. (Elop) holds approximately 14% (7% on a fully diluted basis) of ImageSats issued share capital and is entitled to nominate one director to ImageSats board. ImageSat is engaged in the operation of satellites and in providing satellite imagery. IAI has manufactured and supplied ImageSat two satellites. Elop has manufactured the cameras for those satellites, as IAIs sub-contractor. The claim contains various allegations that the defendants allegedly breached their fiduciary and/or contractual obligations to the detriment of the plaintiffs, who are certain of ImageSats minority shareholders. The claim alleges various causes of action and damages aggregating hundreds of millions of dollars, not all of which are alleged against Elbit Systems and/or each of the former or current ImageSat directors. Based on a preliminary analysis, the Company believes it has good defenses to the claim.
