3D. RISK FACTORS

WE DEPEND ON A SMALL NUMBER OF PRINCIPAL CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE IN THE PAST

BOUGHT OUR PRODUCTS IN LARGE VOLUMES. WE CANNOT ASSURE THAT THESE CUSTOMERS

OR ANY OTHER CUSTOMER WILL CONTINUE TO BUY OUR PRODUCTS IN THE SAME VOLUMES

OR ON THE SAME TERMS.

Our sales to Victoria's Secret accounted for approximately 49.8% of our total sales in 2002, 38.2% of our total sales in 2003 and 38.5% of our total sales in 2004. Our sales to Target, Nike, Banana Republic and The Gap, and Cardinal Healthcare accounted in the aggregate for approximately 25.1% of our total sales in 2002, 28.8% of our total sales in 2003 and 35.7% of our total sales in 2004. See the table in "Item 4. Information on the Company - 4B. Business Overview - Customers." We do not have long-term purchase contracts with our customers, and our sales arrangements with our customers do not have minimum purchase requirements. We cannot assure that Victoria's Secret, Target, Nike, Banana Republic and The Gap, and Cardinal Healthcare or any other customer will continue to buy our products at all or in the same volumes or on the same terms as they have in the past. Their failure to do so may significantly reduce our sales. In addition, we cannot assure that we will be able to attract new customers. A material decrease in the quantity of sales made to our principal customers, a material adverse change in the terms of such sales or a material adverse change in the financial conditions of our principal customers could

significantly reduce our sales. See "Item 4. Information on the Company - 4B. Business Overview - Customers."

3

OUR PRINCIPAL CUSTOMERS ARE IN THE CLOTHING RETAIL INDUSTRY, WHICH IS SUBJECT TO SUBSTANTIAL CYCLICAL VARIATIONS. OUR REVENUES WILL DECLINE SIGNIFICANTLY IF OUR PRINCIPAL CUSTOMERS DO NOT CONTINUE TO BUY OUR PRODUCTS IN LARGE VOLUMES DUE TO AN ECONOMIC DOWNTURN.

Our customers are in the clothing retail industry, which is subject to substantial cyclical variations and is affected strongly by any downturn in the general economy. A downturn in the general economy, a change in consumer purchasing habits or any other events or uncertainties that discourage consumers from spending, could have a significant effect on our customers' sales and profitability. Such downturns, changes, events or uncertainties could result in our customers having larger inventories of our products than expected. These events could result in decreased purchase orders from us in the future, which would significantly reduce our sales and profitability. For example, the difficult global economic environment and the continuing soft retail market conditions in the world and specifically in the U.S. both before and especially after the events of September 11, 2001 were reflected in disappointing clothing retail sales in the year 2001 compared to the same period in the year 2000, and consequently decreased our order backlog and production levels. A prolonged economic downturn could harm our financial condition.

OUR EXPANSION INTO NEW PRODUCT LINES WITH MORE COMPLICATED PRODUCTS AND

DIFFERENT RAW MATERIALS REDUCED OUR OPERATING EFFICIENCY DURING 2003 AND

2004 AND OUR OPERATING EFFICIENCY MAY NOT IMPROVE IN THE FUTURE.

During 2003 and 2004, we invested significant efforts to develop and expand new product lines, including active-wear products and swimwear, to diversify our product line and our client base. The manufacturing of new, more complicated products with different raw materials has reduced our operating efficiency, and

may continue to do so. Although we believe that our efficiency will improve as we continue to manufacture our new product lines, we cannot assure that we will be able to return to our previous efficiency levels in the future.

OUR EXPANSION INTO NEW PRODUCT LINES, IN PARTICULAR ACTIVE-WEAR BUSINESS

PRODUCTS, INVOLVES THE MANUFACTURE OF NEW PRODUCTS, WHICH HAS AND MAY

REQUIRE US TO PURCHASE ADDITIONAL MACHINERY ADAPTED TO MANUFACTURE SUCH

PRODUCTS. THE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL EXPENDITURES INCURRED IN CONNECTION WITH

THESE PURCHASES MAY REDUCE OUR FUTURE CASH FLOW.

During 2003 and 2004, we invested significant efforts to develop and expand our new product lines, in particular active-wear products, to diversify our product line and our client base. Active-wear products that we manufacture are made in bigger sizes than intimate apparel, both because our active-wear products are intended for both men and women, and because our active-wear products involve the manufacture of more tops, we have purchased and may need to purchase additional knitting machines and other equipment adapted to manufacture our new products lines. In addition, the manufacture of active-wear products at times requires equipment with new technologies. The additional capital expenditures that may be incurred in connection with these purchases may reduce our future cash flow.

SINCE MOST OF OUR REVENUES ARE GENERATED IN U.S. DOLLARS AND A LARGE PART

OF OUR EXPENSES ARE IN ISRAELI CURRENCY, WE ARE SUBJECT TO FLUCTUATIONS IN

INFLATION AND CURRENCY RATES.

Because most of our revenues in the foreseeable future are expected to continue to be generated in U.S. dollars and a significant portion of our expenses are expected to continue to be incurred in NIS, we are exposed to the risk of appreciation of the NIS vis-a-vis the U.S. dollar. This appreciation would cause an increase in our NIS expenses as recorded in our U.S. dollar

denominated financial reports, even though the expenses denominated in NIS will remain unchanged. A portion of our NIS denominated expenses is linked to changes in the Israeli cost of living index, a portion is linked to increases in NIS payments under collective bargaining agreements and a portion is unlinked.

4

In addition, an increase in our expenses in NIS will not always be compensated for fully by a devaluation of NIS vis-a-vis the U.S. dollar. In 2002 and 2004, the rate of devaluation of the NIS vis-a-vis the dollar exceeded the inflation rate in Israel. During 2002 and 2004, the rate of inflation was 6.5% and 1.2%, respectively, while NIS devalued against the U.S. dollar by 7.3% and - -1.6% in 2002 and 2004. During 2003, the rate of inflation was (1.9)%, while NIS appreciated against the U.S. dollar by 7.6%. However, to the extent in the future that the rate of inflation in Israel exceeds the rate of devaluation of the NIS in relation to the dollar or if the timing of such devaluation lags behind inflation in Israel, it could reduce our profitability. See "Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects - Impact of Inflation and Currency Fluctuations."

WE REQUIRE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF CASH TO PAY OUR DEBT. IF WE FAIL TO GENERATE SUFFICIENT CASH FLOW FROM OPERATIONS, WE MAY NEED TO RENEGOTIATE

OR REFINANCE OUR DEBT, OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FINANCING OR POSTPONE CAPITAL EXPENDITURES.

We depend mainly on our cash generated by operating activities to make payments on our debts. In 2004, the cash generated by operating activities was approximately $6.9 million. We cannot assure that we will generate sufficient cash flow from operations to make the scheduled payments on our debt. We have repayment obligations on our long-term debt of approximately $9.3 million in 2005, $9.4 million in 2006 and $8.9 million in 2007. These amounts do not include any repayment obligations under our short-term debt in the amount of approximately $21.4 million as of December 31, 2004. Our ability to meet our

debt obligations will depend on whether we can successfully implement our strategy, as well as on economic, financial, competitive and technical factors. Some of the factors are beyond our control, such as economic conditions in the markets where we operate or intend to operate, changes in our customers' demand for our products, and pressure from existing and new competitors.

If we cannot generate sufficient cash flow from operations to make scheduled payments on our debt obligations, we may need to renegotiate the terms of our debt, refinance our debt, obtain additional financing, delay planned capital expenditures or sell assets. Our ability to renegotiate the terms of our debt, refinance our debt or obtain additional financing will depend on, among other things:

  • o our financial condition at the time;
  • o restrictions in agreements governing our debt; and
  • o other factors, including market conditions.

If our lenders decline to renegotiate the terms of our debt, the lenders could declare all amounts borrowed and all amounts due to them under the agreements due and payable. If we are unable to repay the debt, the lenders could foreclose on our assets that are subject to liens and sell our assets to satisfy the debt. See "Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects" and "Item 10. Additional Information -10C. Material Contracts - Credit Agreement."

OUR DEBT OBLIGATIONS MAY HINDER OUR GROWTH AND PUT US AT A COMPETITIVE

DISADVANTAGE.

We have a considerable amount of bank debt mainly as a result of our acquisition of Alba in December 1999 and the investments made in our Hi-Tex Division. As of December 31, 2004, we had approximately $57.2 million of long term loans outstanding (including current maturities of $9.2 million) and approximately $21.4 million in short term bank credit. Our substantial debt obligations could have important consequences. For example, they could:

  • o require us to use a substantial portion of our operating cash flow to repay the principal and interest on our loans, which would reduce funds available to grow and expand our business, invest in machinery and equipment and for other purposes;
  • o place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt;

5

  • o make us more vulnerable to economic and industry downturns and reduce our flexibility in responding to changing business and economic conditions;
  • o limit our ability to pursue business opportunities; and
  • o limit our ability to borrow money for operations or capital in the future.

Because a significant portion of our loans bear interest at floating rates, an increase in interest rates could reduce our profitability. A ten percent interest rate change on our floating interest rate long-term loans outstanding at December 31, 2004, would have an annual impact of approximately $0.4 million on our interest cost. See "Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospectus - - Liquidity and Capital Resources" and "Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk."

DUE TO RESTRICTIONS IN OUR LOAN AGREEMENTS, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO OPERATE

OUR BUSINESS AS WE DESIRE.

Our loan agreements contain a number of conditions and limitations on the way in which we can operate our business, including limitations on our ability to raise debt, sell or acquire assets and pay dividends. Our loan agreements also contain various covenants which require that we maintain certain financial ratios related to shareholder's equity and operating results that are customary for companies comparable in size. These limitations and covenants may force us to pursue less than optimal business strategies or forgo business arrangements which could have been financially advantageous to us or our shareholders. See "Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects - Liquidity and Capital Resources".

Our failure to comply with the covenants and restrictions contained in our loan agreements could lead to a default under the terms of these agreements. For instance, during 2004, our 48% subsidiary, AlbaHealth LLC, failed to comply with certain financial covenants contained in its credit facility with GE Capital, including a minimum EBITDA requirement. However, GE Capital has agreed to waive certain financial covenant defaults that occurred during 2004 and to amend certain of the financial covenant provisions of the AlbaHealth credit facility.

If a default occurs and we are unable to renegotiate the terms of the debt, the lenders could declare all amounts borrowed and all amounts due to them under the agreements due and payable. If we are unable to repay the debt, the lenders could foreclose on our assets that are subject to liens and sell our assets to satisfy the debt. See "Item 10. Additional Information - 10C. Material Contracts - - Credit Agreement."

OUR ANNUAL AND QUARTERLY OPERATING RESULTS MAY VARY WHICH MAY CAUSE THE

MARKET PRICE OF OUR ORDINARY SHARES TO DECLINE.

We may experience significant fluctuations in our annual and quarterly operating results which may be caused by, among other factors:

  • o the timing, size and composition of orders from customers;
  • o varying levels of market acceptance of our products;
  • o the timing of new product introductions by us, our customers or their competitors;
  • o economic conditions in the geographical areas in which we operate or

sell products; and

o operating efficiencies.

6

When we establish a relationship with a new customer, initial sales to such customer are often in larger quantities of goods (to build its initial inventory) than may be required to replenish such inventory from time to time afterwards. As a result, after a customer builds its initial inventory, our sales to such customer may decrease. We cannot assure that our sales to any of our customers will continue at the current rate. See "Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects."

Our operations are affected by our principal customers' businesses, which businesses are subject to substantial cyclical variations. If demand for our products is significantly reduced, our profits will be reduced, and we may experience slower production, lower plant and equipment utilization and lower fixed operating cost absorption.

Additionally, if, in any year, there is a significant number of Christian, Druse, Jewish or Muslim holidays in a particular quarter, we will have fewer days of operation which will result in lower levels of production and sales during such quarter. In certain years, a significant number of such holidays have occurred during the second quarter, but the dates of many of those holidays are based on the lunar calendar and vary from year to year.

OUR MARKETS ARE HIGHLY COMPETITIVE AND SOME OF OUR COMPETITORS HAVE NUMEROUS ADVANTAGES OVER US; WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO COMPETE SUCCESSFULLY.

We compete directly with a number of manufacturers of intimate apparel and active-wear, many of which have a lower cost-base than Tefron, longer operating histories, larger customer bases; greater geographical proximity to customers and significantly greater financial and marketing resources than we do.

Increased competition, direct or indirect, could reduce our revenues and profitability through pricing pressure, loss of market share and other factors. We cannot assure that we will be able to compete successfully against existing or new competitors, as the market for our products evolves and the level of competition increases. Moreover, our competitors, especially those from the Far East, have established relationships with our customers, which has caused an erosion of prices of some of our Cut & Sew products; current or future relationships between our existing and prospective competitors, especially from the Far East, with existing or potential customers, could materially affect our ability to compete. In addition, we cannot assure that our customers will not seek to manufacture our products through alternative sources and thereby eliminate the need to purchase our products. See "Item 4. Information on the Company - 4B. Business Overview - Competition."

Our customers operate in an intensely competitive retail environment. In the event that any of our customers' sales decline for any reason, whether or not related to us or to our products, our sales to such customers could be materially reduced.

In addition, our competitors may be able to purchase seamless knitting machines and other equipment similar to, but less expensive than, the Santoni knitting machines we use to knit garments in our Hi-Tex manufacturing process. By reducing their production cost, our competitors may lower their selling prices. If we are forced to reduce our prices and we cannot reduce our production costs, it will cause a reduction in our profitability. Furthermore, if there is a weak retail market or a downturn in the general economy, competitors may be pressured to sell their inventory at substantially depressed prices. A surplus of intimate apparel at significantly reduced prices in the marketplace would significantly reduce our sales.

WE ARE SUBJECT TO FLUCTUATING COSTS OF RAW MATERIALS.

We use cotton yarn, lycra, spandex, various polymeric yarn and elastic as primary materials for manufacturing our products. Our financial performance depends, to a substantial extent, on the cost and availability of these raw materials. The capacity, supply and demand for such raw materials are subject to cyclical and other market factors and may fluctuate significantly. As a result,

our cost in securing raw materials is subject to substantial increases and decreases over which we have no control except by seeking to time our purchases of cotton and polymeric yarns, which are our principal raw material, to take advantage of favorable market conditions. For example, in 2004 the cost of synthetic fibers increased due to rising energy costs. We cannot assure that we will be able to pass on to customers the increased costs associated with the procurement of raw materials. Moreover, there has in the past been, and there may in the future be, a time lag between the incurrence of such increased costs and the transfer of such increases to customers. To the extent that increases in the cost of raw materials cannot be passed on to customers or there is a delay in passing on the increased costs to customers, we are likely to experience an increase in the cost of raw materials which may materially reduced our margin of profitability

IF OUR ORDINARY SHARES ARE DELISTED FROM THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE, THE

LIQUIDITY AND PRICE OF OUR ORDINARY SHARES AND OUR ABILITY TO ISSUE ADDITIONAL SECURITIES MAY BE SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED.

In order to maintain the listing of our ordinary shares on The New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, we are required to meet specified maintenance standards. In addition, the NYSE has proposed amending its continued listing criteria requiring a minimum stockholders' equity of $75 million and minimum market capitalization of $75 million.

In the event we fail to meet any current or revised listing criteria of the NYSE, our ordinary shares may be delisted from trading on The New York Stock Exchange. We cannot assure that we will meet all NYSE criteria in the future. Delisting of our ordinary shares would result in limited availability of market price information and limited news coverage. In addition, delisting could diminish investors' interest in our ordinary shares as well as significantly reduce the liquidity and price of our ordinary shares. Delisting may also make it more difficult for us to issue additional securities or secure additional

financing.

WE DEPEND ON OUR SUPPLIERS FOR MACHINERY. WE MAY EXPERIENCE DELAYS OR

ADDITIONAL COSTS SATISFYING OUR PRODUCTION REQUIREMENTS DUE TO OUR RELIANCE

ON THESE SUPPLIERS.

We purchase machinery and equipment, including the machinery used in our Hi-Tex manufacturing process, from sole suppliers. If our suppliers are not able to provide us with additional machinery or equipment as needed, we might not be able to increase our production to meet any growing demand for our products.

WE DEPEND ON SUBCONTRACTORS IN CONNECTION WITH OUR MANUFACTURING PROCESS,

IN PARTICULAR THE DYEING AND FINISHING PROCESS; WE MAY EXPERIENCE DELAYS OR

ADDITIONAL COSTS SATISFYING OUR PRODUCTION REQUIREMENTS AND WE MAY BE PREVENTED

FROM MEETING OUR CUSTOMERS ORDERS DUE TO OUR RELIANCE ON THESE SUBCONTRACTORS.

We depend on subcontractors who render to us services that are an integral part of our manufacturing process, and in particular sewing services. If such subcontractors do not render the required services, we may experience delays or additional costs to satisfy our production requirements.

We depend on a subcontractor who performs a major part of the dyeing and finishing of our Hi-Tex manufacturing process, which is an essential part of our manufacturing process. If that subcontractor breaches its commitments toward us or is not other wise able to supply the required services, we would have difficulty meeting our customer orders until we find an alternative solution.

WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO PROTECT OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.

Our success is substantially dependent upon the adaptations and configurations we make to the machinery and equipment that we purchase and upon the manufacturing technologies and techniques that we have developed for our exclusive use. Only a part of the adaptations, configurations, technologies or techniques used in our manufacturing process is patented. Moreover, we purchase our machinery and equipment from third parties and we cannot assure that a competitor will not adapt, configure or otherwise utilize machinery or equipment in substantially the same manner as we do. In addition, our subcontractors have access to proprietary information, including regarding our manufacturing processes, and from time to time we also lend machinery and equipment to subcontractors, and there is a chance that subcontractors may breach their confidentiality undertakings toward us. Any replication of our manufacturing process by an existing or future competitor would significantly reduce our sales.

WE FACE POTENTIAL COMPETITION BY OUR FORMER EMPLOYEES.

Our trade secrets are well known to some of our employees. In the event one or more of our current or former employees exploit our trade secrets in violation of their non-competition and confidentiality obligations, we may be adversely affected in the competitive market and in our relationships with are customers and suppliers.

WE FACE POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST CAUSED BY INVESTOR INFLUENCE.

Our principal shareholders have a great deal of influence over the constitution of our Board of Directors and over matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders. As of April 6, 2005, Arie Wolfson, the Chairman of our Board of Directors, had direct voting power over approximately 5.41% of the outstanding ordinary shares of Tefron, not including options to acquire 150,000 ordinary shares of Tefron that have already vested. Mr. Wolfson is also the Chairman and a significant shareholder of Macpell Industries Ltd., an Israeli company that owned approximately 21% of the outstanding ordinary shares of Tefron as of April 6, 2005. Mr. Wolfson and our former president, Mr. Sigi Rabinowicz, another Macpell shareholder, collectively own a controlling interest in Macpell, have entered into a shareholders' agreement regarding corporate actions of Macpell, including the process by which Macpell votes its ordinary shares of Tefron to elect our Directors. As a result, the corporate actions of Tefron may be influenced significantly by Mr. Wolfson.

As of April 6, 2005, Norfet, Limited Partnership had voting power over approximately 31.6% of the outstanding ordinary shares of Tefron. In addition, as of April 6, 2005, Meir Shamir, one of our directors, owned approximately 40% in Mitvah-Shamir, which at such date was an approximately 35.5% holder in Norfet. As a result, the cooperate actions of Tefron may be significantly influenced by Mr. Shamir.

In connection with the acquisition of Tefron ordinary shares by Norfet, Limited Partnership from the Company and from Arwol Holdings Ltd., an Israeli company wholly owned by Arie Wolfson, and from Macpell, each of Norfet, Arwol and Macpell agreed to vote all of the Tefron ordinary shares owned or controlled by each of them for the election to the Company's nine-member Board of Directors of: (i) two members plus one independent director and one external director nominated by Norfet, Limited Partnership, (ii) two members plus one independent director and one external director nominated by Arwol and Macpell, and (iii) the Company's chief executive officer.

We are party to a consulting and management services agreement with Mr. Wolfson and a company controlled by him, as well as with Norfet pursuant to which the company controlled by Mr. Wolfson and Norfet have agreed to provide consultancy and management services to Tefron. We also engage in transactions with Macpell and its affiliates. We intend to continue to engage in transactions with Macpell and its affiliates. We may be in direct or indirect competition with Macpell or its affiliates in the future. See "Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees - 6A. Directors and Senior Management," "Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions," and Note 16 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Israeli companies law imposes procedures, including, for certain material transactions, a requirement of shareholder approval, as a precondition to entering into interested party transactions. These procedures may apply to transactions between Macpell and us and between Norfet and us. However, we cannot assure that we will be able to avoid the possible detrimental effects of any such conflicts of interest by complying with the procedures mandated by Israeli law. See "Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees - 6A. Directors and Senior Management," "- 6C. Board Practices," and "Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions."

WE ARE AFFECTED BY CONDITIONS TO, AND POSSIBLE REDUCTION OF, GOVERNMENT

PROGRAMS AND TAX BENEFITS

We benefit from certain Israeli Government programs and tax benefits, particularly as a result of the "Approved Enterprise" status of substantially all of our existing production facilities in Israel. As a result of our "Approved Enterprise" status, we have been able to receive significant investment grants with respect to our capital expenditures. Following our exhaustion of our net operating loss carry forwards, we have been able to benefit from a reduced tax rate of 25% on earnings derived from these investments for which the benefit period has not expired. To maintain eligibility for these programs and tax benefits, we must continue to meet certain conditions, including making certain specified investments in fixed assets and conducting our operations in specified "Approved Enterprise" zones. If we fail to meet such conditions in the future, we could be required to refund tax benefits and grants already received, in whole or in part, with interest linked to the Consumer Price Index in Israel from the date of receipt. We have granted a security interest over all of our assets to secure our obligations to fulfill these conditions.

The Government of Israel has reduced the available amount of investment grants from up to 38% of eligible capital expenditures in 1996 to up to 24% of eligible capital expenditures (for projects not exceeding investments of 140 million shekels that are submitted in any year) and up to 20% of eligible capital expenditures (for projects exceeding investments of 140 million shekels that are submitted in any year) since 1997. There can be no assurance that the Israeli Government will not further reduce the availability of investment grants. The termination or reduction of certain programs and tax benefits, particularly benefits available to us as a result of the "Approved Enterprise" status of some of our existing facilities in Israel, would increase the costs of acquiring machinery and equipment for our production facilities and increase our effective tax rate which, in the aggregate, could significantly reduce our profitability.

In addition, if the percentage of our foreign investment exceeds 25%, our Approved Enterprises would qualify for reduced tax rates for three years beyond the initial seven-year period. We cannot assure that we will obtain approval for additional Approved Enterprises, or that the provisions of the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959, as amended, will not change or that the 25% foreign investment percentage will be reached for any subsequent year. See "Item 4. Information on the Company - 4B. Business Overview - Israeli Investment Grants and Tax Incentives."

We also benefit from exemptions from customs duties and import quotas due to our locations in Israel and Jordan (Qualified Industrial Zone) and the free trade agreements Israel maintains with the United States, Canada, the European Union and the European Free Trade Association. If there is a change in such benefits or if other countries enter into similar agreements and obtain similar benefits or if any such agreements were terminated, our profitability may be reduced.

WE FACE SEVERAL RISKS, INCLUDING POLITICAL, ECONOMIC, SOCIAL, CLIMATIC RISKS, ASSOCIATED WITH INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS.

Approximately 92% of our sales in 2004 were made to customers in the United States, and we intend to continue to expand our sales to customers in the United States and Europe. In addition, a substantial majority of our raw materials are purchased outside of Israel. Our international sales and purchases are affected by costs associated with shipping goods and risks inherent in doing business in international markets, including:

o changes in regulatory requirements;

  • o export restrictions, tariffs and other trade barriers;
  • o currency fluctuations;
  • o longer payment cycles;

10

  • o difficulties in collecting accounts receivable;
  • o political instability and seasonal reductions in business activities; and
  • o Strikes and general economic problems.

Any of these risks could have a material adverse effect on our ability to deliver or receive goods on a competitive and timely basis and on our results of operations. We cannot assure that we will not encounter significant difficulties in connection with the sale or procurement of goods in international markets in the future or that one or more of these factors will not significantly reduce our sales and profitability. See "Item 4. Information on the Company - 4B. Business Overview - Manufacturing and Production."

In addition, we may enter into joint ventures with third parties or establish operations outside of Israel that will subject us to additional operating risks. These risks may include diversion of management time and resources and the loss of management control over such operations and may subject us to the laws of such jurisdiction.

In addition to our production facilities in Israel, we currently have production facilities in Jordan, we have relationships with manufacturers in China and we are in the process of shifting additional sewing production out of Israel to take advantage of lower labor costs. Due to commercial disputes that

arose between us and the other shareholders of our joint subsidiaries that managed operations in Madagascar, we no longer have production facilities in Madagascar.

Our ability to benefit from the lower labor costs will depend on the political, social and economic stability of these countries and in the Middle East and Africa in general. We cannot assure that the political, economic or social situation in these countries or in the Middle East and Africa in general will not have a material adverse effect on our operations, especially in light of the potential for hostilities in the Middle East. The success of the production facilities also will depend on the quality of the workmanship of laborers and our ability to maintain good relations with such laborers, in these countries. We cannot guarantee that our operations in China or Jordan will be cost-efficient or successful.

WE ARE SUBJECT TO VARIOUS RISKS RELATING TO OPERATIONS IN ISRAEL

We are incorporated under the laws of, and our main offices and manufacturing facilities are located in, the State of Israel. We are directly influenced by the political, economic and security conditions in Israel. Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, a number of armed conflicts have taken place between Israel and its Arab neighbors and a state of hostility, varying in degree and intensity, has led to security and economic problems for Israel. Any major hostilities involving Israel, the interruption or curtailment of trade between Israel and its trading partners or a significant downturn in the economic or financial condition of Israel could have a material adverse effect on our operations. Since October 2000, there has been a substantial deterioration in the relationship between Israel and the Palestinians which has resulted in increased violence. The future effect of this deterioration and violence on the Israeli economy and our operations is unclear. We cannot assure that ongoing or revived hostilities or other factors related to Israel will not have a material adverse effect on us or our business.

11

Generally, all male adult citizens and permanent residents of Israel under the age of 54, unless exempt, are obligated to perform up to 36 days of annual military reserve duty. Additionally, all such residents are subject to being called to active duty at any time under emergency circumstances. Some of our officers and employees are currently obligated to perform annual reserve duty. No assessment can be made as to the full impact of such requirements on our workforce or business if conditions in Israel should change, and no prediction can be made as to the effect of any expansion or reduction of such military obligations on us. See "Item 4. Information on the Company - 4B. Business Overview - Conditions in Israel."

During 2004, a general strike at Israel's ports caused a shortage of raw materials and resulted in a loss of sales to the Company of approximately $2.5 million. This shortage also resulted in a decrease in production volume and an increase in operating costs, which affected our ability to achieve greater operating efficiencies. Although Israel's Ministry of Finance, the Histadrut (General Federation of Labor in Israel), and the Israel Ports Authority signed an agreement in February 2005 which is intended to ensure five (5) years without labor strikes, a further strike or labor disruption at Israel's ports may occur and have an adverse effect on us or our business.

ALBAHEALTH LLC

FORMATION OF ENTITY. On September 6, 2002, Alba entered into a contribution agreement with Encompass Group, L.L.C., an experienced manufacturer and marketer of numerous health products, and General Electric Capital Corporation, as a result of which Encompass and GE Capital acquired a portion of Alba'sHealth Products Division which from then became operated through a newly formed Delaware limited liability company, AlbaHealth LLC, referred to in this Annual Report as AlbaHealth.

Under the terms of the contribution agreement, Alba contributed to Alba Health substantially all of the assets related to its Health Products Division, together with the associated liabilities, including bank debt of US$28 million secured by such assets, in exchange for a 48.325% ownership interest in

AlbaHealth. Encompass contributed US$12 million in cash to the capital of AlbaHealth in exchange for a 48.325% ownership interest, and GE Capital contributed US $1 million in cash in exchange for a 3.35% ownership interest. In addition, GE Capital provided AlbaHealth with a US$18.0 million credit facility. For information concerning the AlbaHealth credit agreement, see "Item 10. Additional Information - 10C. Material Contracts - AlbaHealth Credit Agreement."

Under the terms of the Contribution Agreement, the parties agreed that Alba will maintain a majority position on the board of managers of AlbaHealth so long as it holds at least 40% of the interest of AlbaHealth. In addition, the Contribution Agreement provides for certain limitations on the ability of the parties to transfer their interests in AlbaHealth.

We, together with Alba and Encompass, undertook that, until the fifth year following the date on which we shall cease to hold interest in AlbaHealth, we shall not, directly or indirectly, engage in any competitive business in the territory of the US, Canada and Mexico.

PUT OPTION AGREEMENT. The parties to the Contribution Agreement are also parties to a Put Option Agreement under which each of Alba and GE Capital has an option to require AlbaHealth to purchase all, but not less than all, of such party's ownership interest in AlbaHealth. See "Item 10. Additional Information - 10C. Material Contracts - Alba Health Put Option Agreement."

MANAGEMENT FEES. Under the terms of the agreement, Alba provided certain management services to AlbaHealth in return for an annual fee of approximately $832,000 for the first year ending on September 6, 2003, which amount is to be increased at a rate of 4% per annum for each additional year of the term. As of the March 31, 2005, this agreement remains in effect.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

Our capital expenditures for fixed assets (net of grants from the Government of the State of Israel) were $7.8 million, $ 2.1 million, and $1.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively. The 2004 expenditures were primarily made in Israel to purchase new knitting machines and other equipment. See Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in the

Consolidated Financial Statements.

14

Our current capital expenditures include investments in equipment, machinery and leasehold improvements in our facilities in Israel and Jordan. See Note 6 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. We expect to incur capital expenses to acquire new dying and finishing equipment for Hi-Tex and to shift more of the sewing production of our Cut & Sew division and Hi-Tex division out of Israel to Jordan, to the Far East and to other locations to take advantage of lower labor costs.

As of the date of this Annual Report, we estimate that our capital expenditures for 2005 (net of grants from the Government of the State of Israel) will be approximately $5 million. We expect to finance these investments primarily from cash generated from operations. However, the actual amount of our capital expenditures will depend on a variety of factors, including general economic conditions, changes in demand for our products, increase in the sales growth of our new products, the risks and uncertainties involved in doing business in Jordan and our ability to generate sufficient cash from operations. See "Item 3. Key Information - 3D. Risk Factors."

4B. BUSINESS OVERVIEW

OVERVIEW

We manufacture intimate apparel, active-wear and swimwear sold throughout the world by such name-brand marketers as Victoria's Secret, Target, Nike, The Gap, Banana Republic, and other well known American retailers and designer labels. Through the utilization of manufacturing technologies and techniques developed or refined by us, we are able to mass-produce quality garments featuring unique designs tailored to our customers' individual specifications. Our product line includes knitted briefs, bras, tank tops, boxers, leggings, crop, T-shirts, day-wear, nightwear, bodysuits, swim wear, beach wear,

active-wear and accessories. Our Healthcare Division manufactures and sells a range of textile healthcare products. These products include: anti-embolism stockings and compression therapy systems, an intermittent pneumatic compression device; sterile wound dressings; and XX-Span(R) dressing retainers, an extensible net tubing designed to hold dressings in place without the use of adhesive tape.

We seek to apply our manufacturing technologies and techniques to meet the fashion and merchandising needs of our customers. With product innovation made possible by our manufacturing capabilities, we invest our marketing efforts to become a principal supplier to a more select customer base, representing some of the leaders in the intimate apparel and active-wear industries. As a result of this strategy, we successfully entered the United States market for quality, competitively priced intimate apparel and active wear.

We are known for the technological innovation of our Hi-Tex manufacturing process. Our Hi-Tex manufacturing process was implemented as part of our strategy to streamline our manufacturing process and improve the design and quality of our products. The Hi-Tex manufacturing process includes the utilization of a single machine that transforms yarn directly into a nearly complete garment, replacing the knitting, cutting, and significant sewing functions which, in traditional manufacturing, are performed sequentially on separate machines at separate workstations. Following this single-machine operation, all the Hi-Tex manufacturing process requires to complete the garment is dyeing and a reduced amount of sewing and finishing. Our Hi-Tex manufacturing process enables us to produce a substantially wider range of fabrics, styles and product lines, resulting in a consistently high level of comfort, quality and durability. Our fabric engineering, product design and the comfort of our products provide us with an opportunity to expand our sales of active-wear products.

We believe that our collaboration with our customers in the design and development of our products strengthens our relationships with our customers and improves the quality of our products. We began our relationship with Victoria's Secret in 1991, with Banana Republic and The Gap in 1993, with Warnaco/Calvin Klein in 1994 and with Nike in 2000. In 2000, we began our relationship with Target, which was an existing customer of Alba. In 2004, these customers

accounted for approximately 69.8% of our total sales. We enjoy several strategic advantages by reason of our location in Israel and Jordan. Israel is one of the few countries in the world that has free trade agreements with the United States, Canada, the European Union, or EU, and the European Free Trade Association, or EFTA. These agreements permit us to sell our products in the United States, Canada and the member countries of the EU and the EFTA free of customs duties and import quotas. Due to our locations in Jordan we benefit from exemptions from customs duties and import quotas. We also currently benefit from substantial investment grants and tax incentives provided by the Government of Israel and from the availability in Israel of both skilled engineers and relatively inexpensive unskilled workers. See "- Israeli Investment Grants and Tax Incentives" and "- Conditions in Israel -Trade Agreements."

PRODUCTS

In close collaboration with our customers, we design and manufacture intimate apparel, active-wear and swimwear. Through our efficient capability, we produce garments made of cotton and synthetic fibers for large- volume marketers who, in recent years, have increased retail consumer interest for quality intimate apparel and active-wear at affordable prices. We believe that our advanced technology and manufacturing processes enable us to deliver intimate apparel and active-wear that is comfortable to wear, fits well, fashionable, made of high-quality fabric and difficult to imitate. Our product line includes knitted briefs, bras, tank tops, boxers, leggings, crop, T-shirts, daywear, nightwear, bodysuits, swim wear, beach wear, active-wear, and accessories.

AlbaHealth manufactures and sells healthcare products. These products include: anti-embolism stockings and compression therapy systems, an intermittent pneumatic compression device, both of which are designed to improve circulation and reduce the incidence of deep vein thrombosis; sterile wound dressings, such as pre-saturated gauze, petrolatum and xeroform gauze, non-adhering dressings and gauze strips; and XX-Span(R) dressing retainers, an

extensible net tubing designed to hold dressings in place without the use of adhesive tape. All dressing products are used in wound care therapy. Other healthcare products include slip-resistant patient treads, which are knitted soft patient footwear with slip-resistant sole to help prevent patient falls while keeping feet warm even while in bed, oversized socks and knitted cuffs. In 2004, footwear products represented approximately 49.3% of the sales of the AlbaHealth.

The principal market for our products is the United States. For a breakdown of our sales by geographic area and operating segments, see Note 15 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

MANUFACTURING AND PRODUCTION

We have developed manufacturing innovations for various stages of the production process, including improvements in the knitting of fabric as well as the cutting and sewing of individual garments. Our manufacturing technologies and techniques allow us to provide our customers with mass-produced quality merchandise at competitive prices. In May 1997, we introduced our Hi-Tex manufacturing process which consolidates a large portion of the production steps into a single machine, the Santoni knitting machine, and has enabled us to produce a substantially wider range of fabrics, styles and product lines at a consistently higher level of comfort, quality and durability. The Santoni Knitting machines are seamless knitting machines that use state-of-the-art computer controlled circular knitting technology.

We manufacture products only to fill firm orders and therefore maintain limited inventory of finished goods. Customers typically send projected product requirements to us between six and twelve months in advance of the delivery requirements and place firm orders between three and six months prior to the desired delivery date. This lead time allows us to coordinate raw material procurement with its usage and to adjust production levels in order to meet demand.

We currently produce intimate apparel and active-wear products in different style, color and yarn combinations. We manufacture cotton knit products using our advanced proprietary manufacturing techniques and also produce fine products from synthetic fibers, including micro-fibers, using our cut-and-sew manufacturing process and our highly automated Hi-Tex manufacturing process.

MANUFACTURING PROCESS

We utilize vertically integrated production processes and automated production techniques. These processes involve the following steps:

  • o PRODUCT DESIGN Traditionally, manufacturers produce several samples of a garment from which apparel marketers can select. In contrast, our sophisticated technology enables us to collaborate with our customers earlier in the design process to develop customized garments. In addition, we work independently to develop new products, to increase sales to existing customers and to exploit market opportunities and increase penetration where it can establish a competitive advantage.
  • o RAW MATERIAL DEVELOPMENT After a design is developed, raw materials for the production of the product are purchased. Our raw materials include cotton yarns, blends of cotton and synthetic yarn (e.g., cotton-spandex, cotton-lycra and cotton-viscose), micro-fiber nylons and blends of micro-fiber nylon with lycra/spandex and elastic. We purchase our raw materials from several international and domestic suppliers and historically have not experienced any difficulty in obtaining raw materials to meet production requirements. Raw materials are generally purchased against actual orders. From time to time, when market conditions are favorable, we have entered into contracts with various suppliers of basic cotton for delivery over a period of three to six months.
  • o KNITTING (ONLY CUT & SEW) Our Cut & Sew Division knitting facility located adjacent to our principal manufacturing facility in Segev, Israel, currently supplies substantially all of our fabric needs in

Israel. This facility utilizes advanced and automated technology to knit tubular fabric, including bodysize fabrics. Bodysize fabrics, which are required for bodysize garments, enable maximum use of fabric and minimize waste during cutting. We operate 134 automatic knitting machines, which have capacity to produce approximately 350 tons of fabric per month (depending on the type of fabric). During 2004, we produced approximately 110 tons of fabric per month.

  • o DYEING AND FINISHING Our Cut & Sew Division's dyeing and finishing facility can satisfy a significant portion of its dyeing and finishing needs in-house. The remainder is outsourced to dyeing and finishing subcontractors in Israel. Our Hi-Tex Division subcontracts all of its dyeing and finishing needs. We have established testing procedures which examine all fabric upon return to us to ensure the color consistency, stability and durability of our dyed fabric.
  • o CUTTING (ONLY CUT & SEW) Traditionally, manufacturers manually cut multiple layers of fabric on a cutting table. To modernize the production process, manufacturers have used computerized, automatic cutting equipment. We use both this equipment and highly advanced machines that automatically and continuously lay and cut tubular knitted fabric to specified sizes, minimizing fabric waste and the amount of sewing required, which results in a more consistent and comfortable garment.
  • o SEWING (ONLY CUT & SEW) Cut fabrics are sewn to complete the garment, including the addition of accessories such as elastic waist and leg bands as well as labels. Working with computerized equipment and robotics, our employees sew garments with far greater precision than if sewn entirely by hand. To accommodate short-term increased capacity requirements, we have the ability to utilize subcontractors to perform a portion of the sewing process. Our Cut & Sew Division operates a sewing facility in Jordan and also subcontracts sewing in Israel, China and Jordan.
  • o TESTING AND QUALITY CONTROL We place significant emphasis on quality control and uses quality assurance teams at each stage of the

manufacturing process.

HI-TEX MANUFACTURING PROCESS

In an effort to streamline and automate the manufacturing process further, we developed the Hi-Tex manufacturing process, which utilizes state-of-the-art technology that eliminates most stages of the manufacturing process while increasing efficiency, consistency and quality. We have successfully combined existing hosiery and apparel technologies to create this new manufacturing process. The Hi-Tex process includes the utilization of a single machine, the Santoni knitting machine, that transforms yarn directly into a nearly complete garment, replacing the knitting, cutting, sewing and accessorizing functions which, in traditional manufacturing, are performed sequentially on separate machines at separate workstations. Following this single-machine operation, all the Hi-Tex process requires to complete the garment is dyeing and a limited amount of sewing and finishing, which are conducted using our proprietary techniques. In addition to providing a higher level of manufacturing efficiency, Hi-Tex has enabled us to produce a substantially wider range of fabrics, styles and product lines at a consistently higher level of comfort, quality and durability. This is made possible, in large part, because the Hi-Tex process knits a garment directly, rather than cutting it from fabric, allowing for the production of any size, pattern or design with even greater precision than previously available.

The Hi-Tex manufacturing process is currently being used to produce knit-to-size intimate apparel, active-wear and outerwear. We operate our Hi-Tex knitting process in our principal production facilities in Segev, Israel. We operate our Hi-Tex sewing process in three sewing facilities in Israel and also subcontracts sewing in Israel and in Jordan. See "Item 4. Information on the Company - 4D. Property, Plants and Equipment." At December 31, 2004, we had a total of 735 fully equipped Santoni Knitting machines at the Hi-Tex facilities in Israel. We also have 155 fully equipped Santoni Knitting machines at Alba in

Valdese, North Carolina, which are currently not operated but may be transferred to other manufacturing facilities at our discretion. We completed the shifting of our manufacturing from our Consumer Division of Alba, located in the United States, to Hi-Tex in Israel in the second quarter of 2003.

We believe that the Hi-Tex manufacturing process represents an innovative combination of cutting-edge technology and technical expertise and has further strengthened our reputation within the industry as a leader in automated manufacture and design. In addition, with both the Hi-Tex manufacturing process and the traditional cut-and-sew process, we are able to produce garments made from synthetic fibers in addition to its existing lines of cotton products. We specialize in developing and using performance yarns. The Hi-Tex manufacturing process was developed in-house through the adaptation and configuration of machinery and equipment purchased from third parties. Although developed for its exclusive use, only a part of these adaptations and configurations is patented.

Alba's health products, now produced by AlbaHealth, are manufactured at its Rockwood, Tennessee plant and by subcontractors in the United States, Mexico and Sri Lanka.

SALES AND MARKETING

Our marketing strategy focuses on selling quality knitted products to large U.S. marketers of intimate apparel, active-wear and swimwear. We market our products directly to major retailers, which sell them under their own labels and to several companies that market nationally advertised brands. We have sales offices which are located in Portland, Oregon and in Israel.

18

We see the active-wear market as an added opportunity to materialize our innovative production and design capabilities. Our office in Portland, Oregon serves to advance our active-wear sales, to strengthen the communication with our active-wear customers, and to improve our services. In addition, we have

dedicated a separate development and sales team in Israel for the active-wear customers.

Products of the AlbaHealth for use in hospitals are marketed to major distributors by AlbaHealth's sales representatives. These products are sold both under private label and AlbaHealth's own label.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Only a part of the adaptations, configurations, technologies or techniques used in our manufacturing process is patented. See "Item 3. Key Information - 3D. Risk Factors - We may not be able to protect our intellectual property." However, we have obtained patents for certain aspects of our manufacturing process and for certain of our products, such as the "millennium bra", the "bonded bra" and the "ultrasonic bra", whose fabric is joined without sewing.

Alba holds several patents relating to our products and AlbaHealth holds several patents relating to healthcare products, including patents for processes which make it possible to knit bras and various functional features in bras and panties on seamless knitting equipment. AlbaHealth also holds a patent for a device used to warm wet dressings as well as a patent for a process covering the manufacture of dressings.

We emphasize the development of new technologies that will enable the manufacture of products that have an advantage over the products currently existing in the market.

SEASONALITY

Although our operations are affected by the substantial cyclical variations of our principal customers' businesses, downturns in the general economy, a change in consumer purchasing habits and other events, we have not identified a clear seasonal pattern to our general business, other than with respect to our swimwear products. In the swimwear segment, most of our sales are consummated between December and May.

CUSTOMERS

Our customers represent some of the leading marketers of intimate apparel and active-wear in the world. More than 65% of our sales in 2004 were derived from the worldwide sale of our products to our four largest apparel customers, Victoria's Secret, Target, Nike, and Gap/Banana Republic. In 2004, we strengthened our business relationship with our active-wear customers, such as Nike, Patagonia, Puma , Adidas and others.

The following table outlines the dollar amount and percentage of total sales to our customers:

CUSTOMER 2002 2003 2004

| | | | | |(1) Includes sales to Mast on behalf of Victoria's Secret, Victoria's Secret Catalog, Cacique and Abercrombie & Fitch.

(2) Customer of AlbaHealth, our 48% subsidiary.

We established our relationship with our largest customer, Victoria's Secret, in 1991. Currently, we manufacture underwear, nightwear, loungewear, bodysuits and bras for Victoria's Secret. We continue to seek to expand and strengthen our relationship with Victoria's Secret by providing the retailer with a continuing line of new products. However, we cannot assure that Victoria's Secret will continue to buy our products in the same volumes or on the same terms as they did in the past. For instance, we have been asked by Victoria's Secret to reduce the prices of Victoria's Secret's Logo program. See "Item 3. Key Information - 3D. Risk Factors - We depend on a small number of principal customers who have in the past bought our products in large volumes. We cannot assure that these customers or any other customer will continue to buy our products in the same volumes or on the same terms."

We began our relationship with Target in 2000, which was an existing customer of Alba. Currently, we supply them with underwear for men and women, and active-wear products.

We began our working relationship with Nike in 2000. Currently, we supply them with active wear for men and women.

We began our working relationship with Banana Republic and The Gap in 1993. Currently, we supply Banana Republic and The Gap with underwear and sleepwear.

We also gained as a customer Allegiance Healthcare Corporation, subsequently acquired by Cardinal Healthcare, through our acquisition of Alba at the end of the year 1999. Cardinal acquires a range of medical products from

AlbaHealth.

When we establish a relationship with a new customer in the normal course of business, our initial sales to that customer are typically in larger quantities of goods (to build the customer's initial inventory) than may be required to replenish such inventory from time to time thereafter. After a customer builds its initial inventory, the rate of growth of our sales to the customer may decrease. The volume of products ordered by customers are subject to the cyclical variations in their business. See "Item 3. Key Information - 3D. Risk Factors."

We depend on a small number of principal customers. Our principal customers are in the retail industry, which is subject to substantial cyclical variations. Our annual and quarterly results may vary which may cause our profits and/or the market price of our Ordinary Shares to decline. Consequently, there can be no assurance that sales to current customers will continue at the current rate.

20

BACKLOG

Our backlog of orders during 2004 ranged from $48.6 million to $85.8 million, as compared to a range of $24.4 million to $68.4 million during 2003. This backlog is comprised of firm orders that represent the average production volume mainly for the subsequent three to six months. Backlog data and any comparison thereof as of different dates may not necessarily indicate future sales.

ISRAELI INVESTMENT GRANTS AND TAX INCENTIVES

The Israeli government has established investment and tax incentive programs for enterprises that invest and do business in Israel. Israeli government support is provided primarily to industrial and tourism companies that help fulfill certain economic objectives of the Israeli government, such as

creating employment in selected locations in Israel, competing in international markets, utilizing innovative technologies, producing value-added products and generating income in foreign currency. To date, we have enjoyed Israeli government grants with respect to such programs for significant amounts of our capital expenditures. Such grants were available from 1997 to 2001 for an amount equal to 24% of the eligible annual capital expenditures (for projects not exceeding investments of NIS140 million in any year), and for an amount equal to 20% of the eligible annual capital expenditures (for projects exceeding investments of NIS140 million). Following the exhaustion of our net operating loss carry forwards in 1997, we began to benefit from certain tax incentives as a result of the Approved Enterprise status of certain of its facilities. Approved Enterprises related to investment programs from January 1997 onwards in designated areas which include the location of our primary plants are exempt from tax for the first two years of the Benefit Period commencing in the first year in which the taxable income is generated.

LAW FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT OF CAPITAL INVESTMENTS, 1959

The Law for Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959, or the Investment Law, provides that a capital investment in eligible facilities may, upon application to the Investment Center, be designated as an "Approved Enterprise." Each certificate of approval for an Approved Enterprise relates to a specific investment program delineated both by its financial scope, including its capital sources, and by its physical characteristics, e.g., the equipment to be purchased and utilized pursuant to the program. The tax benefits derived from any such certificate of approval relate only to taxable income attributable to the specific Approved Enterprise.

Each application to the Investment Center is reviewed separately, and a decision as to whether or not to approve such application is based, among other things, on the then prevailing criteria set forth in the Investment Law, on the specific objectives of the applicant company set forth in such application and on certain financial criteria of the applicant company. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that any such application will be approved.

Taxable income of a company derived from an Approved Enterprise designated as such after July 30, 1978 is subject to corporate tax at the maximum rate of

25% (rather than the generally applicable regular corporate tax rate of 35%) for the "Benefit Period," a period of seven years commencing with the year in which the Approved Enterprise first generated taxable income (limited to 12 years from commencement of production or 14 years from the date of approval, whichever is earlier) and, under certain circumstances (as further detailed below), extending to a maximum of ten years from the commencement of the Benefit Period. In the event that a company is operating under more than one approval or that its capital investments are only partly approved, referred to as a "Mixed Enterprise", its effective corporate tax rate is the result of a weighted combination of the various applicable rates.

We currently have plants which have been granted Approved Enterprise status in conformity with the Investment Law. In accordance with this law, the income from the Approved Enterprises during the Benefit Period will be subject to a reduced tax rate of 25%. A company with foreign investment in excess of 25% at the time an approval is granted is entitled to a Benefit Period of ten years from such approval and, if the proportion of foreign investment is between 49% and 74%, to a tax rate of 20%. The proportion of foreign investment is measured annually based on the lowest level of foreign investment during the year. Our effective tax rate for accounting purposes for income derived from Approved Enterprises during 2004, based on its percentage of foreign investment in 2004, was 25%. Due to accumulated losses and other factors, we did not pay tax on this income during 2004.

21

The Benefit Period for our first Approved Enterprises has ended and as such, income attributable to these enterprises are taxed at a rate of 35%, the regular Israeli corporate tax rate. (expected to be progressively reduced to 34% in 2005, 32% in 2006 and 30% in 2007 and thereafter). Shareholders are subject to a 15% Israeli tax (withheld at source) on dividends distributed out of income of Approved Enterprises and a 25% Israeli tax (unless treaties for the prevention of double taxation state otherwise) on dividends distributed from other sources of income. The Benefit Period for our remaining Approved

Enterprises began in 1997, when our taxable income first exceeded our net operating loss carry forwards.

The Investment Law also provides that an Approved Enterprise is entitled to accelerated depreciation on its property and equipment that are included in an approved investment program. We have not utilized this benefit as we have received preferable depreciation rights pursuant to other taxation laws.

Grants and certain other incentives received by a company in accordance with the Investment Law remain subject to final ratification by the Investment Center, such ratification being conditional upon fulfillment of all terms of the approved program.

The benefits available to an Approved Enterprise are conditional upon the fulfillment of certain conditions stipulated in the Investment Law and its regulations and the criteria set forth in the specific certificate approval, as described above. In the event that these conditions are violated, in whole or in part, we would be required to refund the amount of tax benefits, with the addition of the Israeli consumer price index, or CPI, linkage adjustment and interest. We have granted a security interest over all of our assets to secure our obligation to fulfill these conditions. We believe that our Approved Enterprises operate in substantial compliance with all such conditions and criteria. However, the shifting of the sewing operations from Israel to Jordan may require an adjustment to the terms of the certificate approval; otherwise, our operations may not be in compliance with the approval's terms.

LAW FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT OF INDUSTRY (TAXES), 1969

We currently qualify as an "Industrial Company" within the definition of the Law for the Encouragement of Industry (Taxes), 1969, or the Industry Encouragement Law. According to the Industry Encouragement Law, an Industrial Company is a company resident in Israel, at least 90% of the income of which, in any tax year, determined in Israeli currency (exclusive of income from defense loans, capital gains, interest and dividends), is derived from an "Industrial Enterprise" owned by it. An Industrial Enterprise is defined as an enterprise whose major activity in a given tax year is industrial production activity.

The following tax benefits are available to Industrial Companies:

(a) deduction of purchases of know-how and patents over an eight-year period for tax purposes;

(b) an election under certain conditions to file a consolidated tax return with certain Israeli industrial subsidiaries; and

(c) accelerated depreciation rate on equipment and buildings.

Eligibility for the benefits under the Industry Encouragement Law is not subject to receipt of prior approval from a governmental authority. No assurance can be given that we will continue to qualify as an Industrial Company or that the benefits described above will be available in the future.

22

COMPETITION

The intimate apparel and active-wear markets are highly competitive. Our products compete with products of other manufacturers in Israel, Europe, the United States, South and Central America and Asia. Competition in our markets is generally based on price, quality and customer service.

Although we have invested in Santoni knitting machines to manufacture our seamless products, a competitor of the Santoni brand could manufacture similar machines at lower prices, thereby increasing the competition we would face in the intimate apparel and active-wear markets. See "Item 3. Key Information - 3D. Risk Factors - Our markets are highly competitive and some of our competitors have numerous advantages over us; we may not be able to compete successfully."

In addition, we benefit from Israel's status as one of the few countries in the world that currently has free trade agreements with the United States, Canada, the EU and the EFTA which permit us to sell its products in the United States, Canada and the member countries of the EU and the EFTA free of customs duties and imports quotas. Finally, government incentives that reduce the cost to us of our equipment may not be available in other countries. We are also able to sell our products manufactured at our facilities in Jordan free from customs duties and import quotas to the United States and Europe under certain conditions. We may also elect to manufacture products in Egypt and sell them free from customs duties and import quotas to the United States under certain conditions.

CONDITIONS IN ISRAEL

We are incorporated under the laws of, and many of our offices and manufacturing facilities are located in, the State of Israel. Accordingly, we are directly affected by political, security and economic conditions in Israel. Our operations would be materially adversely affected if major hostilities involving Israel should occur or if trade between Israel and its present trading partners should be curtailed.

POLITICAL CONDITIONS IN ISRAEL

Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, a number of armed conflicts have taken place between Israel and its Arab neighbors and a state of hostility, varying from time to time in intensity and degree, has led to security and economic problems for Israel. However, a peace agreement between Israel and Egypt was signed in 1979, and a peace agreement between Israel and Jordan was signed in 1994. However, as of the date hereof, Israel has not entered into any peace agreement with Syria or Lebanon. No prediction can be made as to whether any other written agreements will be entered into between Israel and its neighboring countries, whether a final resolution of the area's problems will be achieved, the nature of any such resolution or whether civil unrest will resume and to what extent such unrest would have an adverse impact on Israel's economic development or on our operations in the future.

There is substantial uncertainty about how or whether any peace process will develop or what effect it may have upon us. Since October 2000, there has been a substantial deterioration in the relationship between Israel and the Palestinians which has resulted in increased violence. The future effect of this

deterioration and violence on the Israeli economy and our operations is unclear. Ongoing violence between Israel and its Arab neighbors and Palestinians may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Despite the limited progress towards peace between Israel, its Arab neighbors and the Palestinians, certain countries, companies and organizations continue to participate in a boycott of Israeli firms. We do not believe that the boycott has had a material adverse effect on us, but there can be no assurance that restrictive laws, policies or practices directed towards Israel or Israeli businesses will not have an adverse impact on the expansion of our business.

23

Generally, all male adult citizens and permanent residents of Israel under the age of 54, unless exempt, are obligated to perform up to 36 days of annual military reserve duty. Additionally, all such residents are subject to being called to active duty at any time under emergency circumstances. Some of our officers and employees are currently obligated to perform annual reserve duty. While we have operated effectively under these requirements since we began operations, no assessment can be made as to the full impact of such requirements on our workforce or business if conditions should change, and no prediction can be made as to the effect on us of any expansion or reduction of such obligations.

ECONOMIC CONDITIONS IN ISRAEL

Israel's economy has been subject to numerous destabilizing factors, including a period of rampant inflation in the early to mid-1980s, low foreign exchange reserves, fluctuations in world commodity prices, military conflicts and civil unrest. The Israeli government has, for these and other reasons, intervened in various sectors of the economy employing, among other means, fiscal and monetary policies, import duties, foreign currency restrictions and

control of wages, prices and foreign currency exchange rates. The Israeli government has periodically changed its policies in all these areas.

TRADE AGREEMENTS

Israel is a member of the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund, the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, and the International Finance Corporation. Israel is a signatory to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, which provides for the reciprocal lowering of trade barriers among its members. In addition, Israel has been granted preferences under the Generalized System of Preferences from the United States, Australia, Canada and Japan. These preferences allow Israel to export the products covered by such program either duty-free or at reduced tariffs. Israel became associated with the European Economic Community (now known as the European Union) in a Free Trade Agreement concluded in 1975, which confers certain advantages with respect to Israeli exports to most European countries and obligates Israel to lower its tariffs with respect to imports from those countries over a number of years.

In 1985, Israel and the United States entered into an agreement to establish a Free Trade Area that has eliminated all tariff and certain non-tariff barriers on most trade between the two countries. On January 1, 1993, an agreement between Israel and the EFTA established a free trade zone between Israel and the EFTA nations. In recent years, Israel has established commercial and trade relations with a number of other nations (including the People's Republic of China, Russia, India and other nations in Asia and Eastern Europe) with which Israel had not previously had such relations.

In January 1995, the GATT members entered into an agreement with respect to Textile and Clothing (ATC). According to this agreement, all non-tariff barriers were gradually decreased since the date of the agreement until their full omission on January 1, 2005. In 2004, in expectation of this change, the United States decided to extend the period of barriers relating to products exported from China.

Israel is a party to Qualified Industrial Zones agreements - since 1998 with Jordan and the United States, and since December 2004, with Egypt and the United States. These agreements enable us to execute part of our manufacturing

process in defined zones in Jordan or in Egypt, under the terms of these agreements, and enjoy exemption from U.S. custom duties and quotas once exported to the United States.

U.S. GOVERNMENT REGULATION

Alba is subject to various United States regulations relating to the maintenance of safe working conditions and manufacturing practices. In addition, certain of the products manufactured by AlbaHealth are subject to the requirements of the Food and Drug Administration with respect to environmentally controlled facilities. Management believes that it is currently in compliance with all such regulations.

We believe that our existing facilities in Israel and Jordan are well-maintained, in good operating condition and provide adequate space for our current level of operations as well as for a significant increase in sales volume. We further believe that our facilities and operations are in substantial compliance with current Israeli governmental regulations regarding safety, health and environmental pollution. We have not generally experienced difficulty in complying with these regulations and such compliance has not had a material adverse effect on our capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position.

All plants are of brick and steel construction, and most areas have been air-conditioned. Alba leases its New York City office under a lease that expires in April 2005. From April 2005, we are leasing for seven years 2000 square feet at 150 West 30th Street New York, NY. Alba also leases its office in Portland, Oregon that expires in February 2006. The remainder of Alba's physical properties are held in fee simple. Alba's physical properties are subject to a lien pursuant to a credit agreement entered into in connection with the acquisition of Alba. See "Item 10. Additional Information - 10C. Material Contracts - Credit Agreement." We believe our existing facilities in the United States are well-maintained, in good operating condition and provide adequate space for Alba's current level of operations as well as for a significant increase in sales volume.

We further believe that Alba is in substantial compliance with present United States federal, state and local regulations regarding the discharge of materials into the environment. Capital expenditures required to be made in order to achieve such compliance have had no material effect upon Alba's earnings or the competitive position of Alba. We believe that continued compliance will not require material expenditures.

Our product line includes knitted briefs, bras, tank tops, boxers, leggings, crop, T-shirts, daywear, nightwear, bodysuits, swim-wear, beach wear, active-wear, and accessories.

We have three divisions: Seamless (also called Hi-Tex), Cut & Sew and Healthcare. Our Seamless Division, which manufactures intimate apparel and active-wear products, generated approximately 46% of our revenues during 2004. Our Cut & Sew Division, which manufactures intimate apparel, active-wear and swim-wear products, generated approximately 36% of our revenues during 2004. Our Healthcare Division generated approximately 18% of our revenues during 2004.

Our Hi-Tex manufacturing process involves a vertically integrated production process, from the design of the product to the knitting, dyeing and sewing of the product. However, our Hi-Tex manufacturing process utilizes state-of-the-art technology that eliminates a significant number of stages of the manufacturing process while enabling our Hi-Tex Division to produce a substantially wider range of fabrics, styles and product lines at a consistently high level of comfort, quality and durability. The Hi-Tex manufacturing process was developed in-house through the adaptation and configuration of machinery and equipment purchased from third parties. Although developed for our exclusive use, most of these adaptations and configurations are not patented. The manufacturing for our Hi-Tex Division takes mainly in Israel, where we operated approximately 735 fully equipped Santoni knitting machines as of December 31, 2004.

Our Cut & Sew manufacturing process also involves a vertically integrated production process. We are involved in all steps in the process, from the design of the product to the knitting, dyeing, cutting and sewing of the product. The knitting, dyeing and cutting processes for our Cut & Sew Division takes place in Israel and most of the sewing in Jordan.

Our Healthcare Division manufactures a range of textile healthcare products, which are manufactured in the United States, Mexico and Sri Lanka.

2004 DEVELOPMENTS

In 2004, we continued our strategy, begun at the end of 2002, to transform from an intimate apparel company with one anchor customer to a diversified active wear, swim wear and intimate apparel company with a more diversified customer base. This process has taken longer than we initially anticipated and has reduced operating efficiency in our Seamless division due to our manufacture of new, more complicated products with different raw materials. These operating inefficiencies had a significant negative effect on our operating results in 2003 and 2004. Although we have seen an improvement in our operating efficiency beginning towards the end of 2004, we cannot assure that we will be able to return to our previous efficiency levels in the future.

Our expansion into active-wear and swim-wear has provided us with an opportunity to increase our sales to a more diverse customer base, including Nike, Puma, Adidas and others, and we are working to capitalize on this opportunity in both our Seamless and our Cut & Sew Divisions through our offering of a more diverse selection of products.

The cost structure of our Cut & Sew manufacturing process, which takes place principally in Israel and in Jordan, is higher than the cost structure of our competitors in the Far East. The competition from the Far East, mainly for the sale of intimate apparel products, has caused an erosion of our prices. We have established a branch office in Hong Kong in an effort to locate manufacture sources in the Far East, and we are exploring options for transfer of manufacture operations also to other locations where labor cost are relatively low.

In addition, the strengthening of the NIS compared to the USD in 2003 and 2004 also adversely affected our operating income in 2003 and 2004.

CURRENCY; REVENUES; RAW MATERIALS

The currency of the primary economic environment in which our business is conducted is the United States dollar. Consequently, we use the dollar as our functional currency. Transactions and balances denominated in dollars are presented at their dollar amounts. Transactions and balances in other currencies are converted into dollars in accordance with the principles set forth in Statement No. 52 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board and resulting gains and losses are included in the statement of income. The financial information below reflects our operations on a consolidated basis.

Substantially all of our revenues are derived from the sale of our products, primarily in the United States. We recognize revenues from the sale of our products upon shipment. Our payment terms vary based on customer and length of relationship. We do not have any long-term supply obligations.

We purchase our raw materials from several international and domestic suppliers and historically have not experienced any difficulty in obtaining raw materials to meet production requirements. Raw materials are generally purchased against actual orders, although we have a policy of maintaining a minimum level of those raw materials that are in repeated demand. From time to time, when market conditions are favorable, we have entered into contracts with various suppliers of basic cotton for delivery over a period of three to six months.

SALES

CONSOLIDATED. Sales for the year ended December 31, 2004 were $182.8 million, 12.1% increase compared to sales of $163.1 million for the year ended

December 31, 2003. Our sales of intimate apparel increased 8.5% from $109.0 million in 2003 to $118.2 million in 2004, our sales of active-wear products increased 66.6% from $12.1 million in 2003 to $20.1 million in 2004 and our sales of Swim-wear increased 175.4% from $3.7 million in 2003 to $10.3 million in 2004. Below is a table that describes our 2003 and 2004 sales of intimate apparel, active-wear and swimwear products:

SEAMLESS. Sales for the year ended December 31, 2004 for this segment were $83.8 million, 15% increase compared to sales of $72.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. This increase in sales was due to a greater demand for intimate apparel products and the increase of sales of our more diverse selection of active wear products to a more diverse customer base.

CUT & SEW. Sales for the year ended December 31, 2004 for this segment were $65.3 million, 22.2% increase compared to sales of $53.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. This increase in sales was due primarily to an increase in sales of our more diverse selection of swimwear and

active-wear products to a more diverse customer base.

HEALTHCARE. Sales for the year ended December 31, 2004 for this segment were $34.2 million, a 10.7% decrease compared to the sales of $38.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. This decrease was mainly due price erosion caused by competition from producers in the Far East.

COST OF SALES

Cost of sales consists primarily of materials, various salaries and related expenses, subcontracting expenses and other overhead expenses related to our manufacturing operations. Cost of sales increased by 14.7% to $159.9 million in 2004 as compared to $139.4 million in 2003 primarily due to the increase in sales. As a percentage of sales, cost of sales increased to 87.5% in 2004 as compared to 85.5% in 2003 primarily due to the operating inefficiencies referred to above and the reevaluation of the NIS compared to the USD. Although we believe that our efficiency will improve as we continue to manufacture our new product lines, we cannot assure that we will be able to return to our previous efficiency levels in the future.

29

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of costs relating to salaries to employees engaged in sales, marketing, distribution, administration and management activities, freight and other administrative costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 10.2% to $22.4 million in 2004 as compared to $20.3 million in 2003. This increase is primarily due to an increase in sales, an increase in air freight charges of due to delays in supplying orders to customers resulting from the operating inefficiencies referred to above, an expense resulting from the grant of options to the company's CEO and an impairment of property and equipment held for sale in North Carolina. As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses

decreased from 12.5% in 2003 to 12.2% in 2004.

OPERATING INCOME

CONSOLIDATED. Operating income for the year ended December 31, 2004 was $495,000 (0.3% of sales), compared to operating income of $3.3 million (2.0% of sales) for the year ended December 31, 2003. This decrease in operating income was due to the increase in cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses discussed above.

SEAMLESS. Operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2004 for this segment was $8.2 million (9.8% of sales), compared to operating loss of $4.1 million (5.6% of sales) for the year ended December 31, 2003. This increase in operating loss was due primarily to operating inefficiencies and increase in freight charges due to delays in supplying orders to customers.

CUT & SEW. Operating income for the year ended December 31, 2004 for this segment was $3.5 million (5.4% of sales), compared to operating income of $0.7 million (as restated) (1.4% of sales) for the year ended December 31, 2003. The increase in operating income resulted primarily from a significant increase in sales and gross profit of our swimwear products and increase in sales of active wear products. This increase was offset by price erosion of an intimate apparel project to a major customer due to competition.

HEALTHCARE. Operating income for the year ended December 31, 2004 for this segment was $5.2 million, 22.1% decrease from the operating income of $6.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. This decrease was mainly due price erosion caused by competition from producers in the Far East.

FINANCING EXPENSES, NET

Financing expenses decreased slightly to $5.2 million in 2004 as compared to $5.6 million in 2003. This decrease was mainly due to decrease in interest expenses caused by reduction of $20 million in the amount of bank debt, capital lease and other loans from proceeds of issuance of shares in April 2004. This

decrease was partly offset by an increase in bank charges due to our increased use of letters of credit, mainly with new customers.

INCOME TAXES

Tax expense for 2004 was $0.2 million as compared to tax benefit of $0.4 million for 2003. In 2004, we reduced our deferred taxes in Alba by $0.6 million as a result of an adjustment of our expected utilization of deferred taxes in light of expected future earnings and recorded additional expenses of $0.4 million due to tax assessment by the Israeli tax authorities regarding tax returns for the years 1997-2000. Although we currently estimate that we will be able to utilize the remaining balance of the deferred taxes in Alba, we cannot assure that we will be able to do so.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

2004 SOURCES AND USES OF CASH

During 2004, we generated approximately $6.9 million in cash from operating activities. This cash flow, together with the net proceeds to the Company of $19.7 million derived from the investment in the Company by Norfet and Leber, enabled us to repay a net amount of $9.3 million of short term bank loans and $11.3 million of long term bank loans and finance our $9.1 million investment in fixed assets. During 2004, we received government grants in the approximate amount of $1.2 million and received proceeds from the sale of fixed assets of $0.4 million. At December 31, 2004, we had cash and cash equivalents of $3.6 million, as compared to $5.7 million in a previous year. We currently anticipate lower capital expenditures for 2005 than the actual capital expenditures of 2004. The main capital investment in fix assets are expected to be made in favor of increasing the dyeing capacity of our Hi-Tex Division.

Cash provided by operating activities is net income (loss) adjusted for

certain non-cash items and changes in assets and liabilities. For 2004, cash provided by operating activities was $6.9 million, compared to $2.9 million in 2003, while our net loss increased in 2004 to $6.9 million from $4.5 million in 2003. During 2004, the majority of our increase in cash flow as compared to 2003 was mainly due to a decrease in our trade receivables as compared to increase in 2003, an increase in our inventories which was lower than the increase in 2003 and higher depreciation and amortization expenses than in 2003. Our increase in inventories was lower in 2004 mainly due to decrease in the average credit period granted to customers. Our depreciation and amortization expenses were higher in 2004 due to increase in depreciation expenses due to purchase of fixed assets during 2003-2004, amortization of options compensation related to options granted to CEO and write-off of investment in JBA.

CONTRACTUAL AND OTHER COMMITMENTS

We have various commitments primarily related to long-term debt, capital lease obligations and short-term debt. The following tables provides details regarding our contractual cash obligations and other commercial commitments subsequent to December 31, 2004:

(1) Contractual obligations are defined as agreements for finance purposes that are enforceable and legally binding on Tefron and that specify all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased, and the approximate timing of the transaction. Because our purchase orders are based on our current manufacturing needs, our agreements for the purchase of raw materials and other goods and services are not included in the table above.

(2) This table does not include payments of interest on our long-term debt, due to its variable nature. Interest on our long-term bank debt ranges from three-month LIBOR plus 1.5% to three-month LIBOR plus 2%. As of April 6, 2005, three-month LIBOR was 3.125%.

(3) These credit lines facilities are revolving every year.

LOAN FACILITIES

At December 31, 2004, outstanding borrowings from banks and other financial institutions totaled approximately $78.3 million, comprised of approximately $56.9 million of long term-debt, including current maturities of $9 million, and approximately $21.4 million of short-term debt. The bank loans bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.25% to 4.5%, and are scheduled to mature during the next eight years.

Long-term loans include a term loan facility of our wholly owned subsidiary, Alba (now called Tefron USA Inc.) with Bank Hapoalim B.M. and Israel Discount Bank of New York entered into in connection with the acquisition of Alba, in the outstanding amount of $25.6 million payable in 32 quarterly installments commencing March 15, 2005. The term loan facility and a related revolving credit facility are secured by a floating lien on all the personal property of Alba and its subsidiaries, pledges of all non-margin stock of Alba owned by our U.S. subsidiary, Tefron U.S. Holdings Corp., and all subsidiary stock then owned by Alba, and guaranties made by us, Hi-Tex Founded by Tefron Ltd. and by Tefron U.S. Holdings Corp.

Long-term loans also include a long-term loan facility between us and Hi-Tex Founded by Tefron Ltd., with Bank Hapoalim B.M. and Israel Discount Bank Ltd. in the outstanding amount of $22 million also payable in 32 quarterly installments commencing March 15, 2005. The term loan facility and a related revolving credit facility are secured by a floating lien on all the personal property of Tefron and Hi-Tex.

The bank loan agreements contain various covenants which require, among others, that we maintain certain financial ratios related to shareholders' equity and operating results. In addition, the terms prohibit us and Alba from incurring certain additional indebtedness, limit certain investments, advances or loans and restrict substantial asset sales, cash dividends and other payments to shareholders of us and of Alba. These covenants and restrictions could hinder us in its operations and growth.

On September 9, 2002, we formed a new entity, AlbaHealth, with Encompass Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and General Electric Capital Corporation, a Delaware corporation, to operate Alba's health products business. In connection with the transaction, Alba contributed substantially all of the assets of its Health Products Division (together with associated liabilities, including certain existing bank indebtedness) to the capital of AlbaHealth in exchange for a 48.325% ownership interest in AlbaHealth. Encompass and GE Capital contributed cash to the capital of AlbaHealth in the amount of $12 million and $1 million, respectively, in exchange for a 48.325% and 3.35% ownership interest in AlbaHealth. Following the transaction, we repaid $28 million of the long term loan facility with Bank Hapoalim B.M. and Israel Discount Bank of New York.

In connection with the formation of AlbaHealth, AlbaHealth entered into a credit agreement, with GE Capital, which contains a term loan facility in the outstanding principal amount of $9 million and is payable in quarterly installments, ending on September 6, 2007. In addition, the AlbaHealth Credit Agreement provides for a revolving loan facility of up to $3.0 million. The proceeds from the term loan facility and the revolving loan facility were and are to be used, among other purposes, to repay amounts due to the Bank Hapoalim B.M. and Israel Discount Bank of New York and for working capital purposes. The credit agreement contains various restrictive covenants as well as covenants which require that we maintain certain financial ratios. See "Item 10. Additional Information - 10C. Material Contracts - AlbaHealth Credit Agreement" for more information regarding this credit facility. During 2004, AlbaHealth failed to comply with certain financial covenants contained in the credit agreement, including a minimum EBITDA requirement, and GE Capital has agreed to waive certain financial covenant defaults that occurred during 2004 and to amend certain of the financial covenants.

32

Our short-term debt in the amount of approximately $21.4 million consists of one-year revolving credit facilities with various expiration dates during 2005. We expect that the one-year revolving credit facilities will be renewed beyond their respective expiration dates. However, the lenders under such revolving credit facilities are under no obligation to renew such facilities. In

the event that these facilities are not renewed, we may be unable to repay outstanding amounts, and the lenders may, as a result, declare all amounts borrowed to be due and payable. A default under the revolving credit facilities may also trigger a default under the long-term loan facilities described above.

EQUITY FINANCINGS

On April 22, 2004, we issued to Norfet, Limited Partnership ("Norfet"), controlled by FIMI Opportunity Fund and certain other co-investors, approximately 3.53 million ordinary shares at a base price of $4.25 per share and to a group of investors represented by Mr. Zvi Limon ("Leber") approximately 1.07 million ordinary shares at a base price of $4.65 per share. See "Item 10. Additional Information - C. Material Agreements - FIMI Agreements". We applied most of the aggregate amount of $19.7 million from these investments to repay short-term debt. On April 5, 2005 we issued, with no further consideration, additional shares to Norfet and Leber according to a share purchase price adjustment mechanisms included in the investments agreements with these investors. Also, on March 9, 2004, we announced that we had entered into an equity line credit facility with Brittany Capital Management Ltd. ("Brittany"), an entity advised by Southridge Capital Management LLC. Under the agreement, we have an option to call funds of up to the lesser of $15 million or 19.9% of our outstanding share capital over the next three years. Under the financing facility, we will be entitled to issue shares to Brittany from time to time, at our own election, subject to certain minimum and maximum limitations, but in no event will Brittany be obligated to own more than 4.99% of our ordinary shares at any one time. The price to be paid by Brittany will be at a discount of 6% to the market price of our ordinary shares (as calculated under the agreement) during a period prior to the issuance of the shares. Before drawing on the equity line, we must satisfy certain closing conditions, including the effectiveness of a registration statement that we must file relating to the shares to be issued to Brittany. See "Item 10. Additional Information - C. Material Agreements - Equity Line Credit Facility ".

OUTLOOK

We currently believe that our cash flow from ongoing operations, our

available bank credit and proceeds from equity financings will be sufficient to finance all of our ongoing costs and our planed investment in our business through 2005. However, we may not generate sufficient cash from operations to finance our ongoing costs and service our high level of debt. See "Item 3. Key Information - 3D. Risk Factors," in particular "- We depend on a small number of principal customers who have in the past bought our products in large volumes," "Our principal customers are in the retail industry, which is subject to substantial cyclical variations," "Our expansion into new product lines with more complicated products and new raw materials reduced our operating efficiency during 2003 and 2004 and our future operating efficiency may continue at the same level as 2004 without improvement" and "- Our markets are highly competitive and some of our competitors have numerous advantages over us; we may not be able to compete successfully." In the event sufficient cash from operations is not generated, we may need to renegotiate the terms of the debt, refinance the debt, obtain additional financing, postpone capital expenditures or sell assets. If the lenders decline to renegotiate the terms of the debt, the lenders could declare all amounts borrowed to be due and payable. If we are unable to repay the debt, the lenders could foreclose on our assets that are subject to liens and sell the assets to satisfy the debt. See "Item 3. Key Information - 3D. Risk Factors - Our debt obligations may hinder our growth and put us at a competitive disadvantage," "We require a significant amount of cash to pay our debt " and "Due to restrictions in our loan agreements, we may not be able to operate our business as we desire." See "Item 10. Additional Information - - 10C. Material Contracts - Credit Agreement

33

DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF PRODUCTS

Our design and development of products department continually strives to improve technologies and products and develop new lines of products. We estimate that we invested approximately $3.5 million to $4.0 million in 2002, $4 million to $4.5 million in 2003 and $4.4 million to $4.9 million in 2004 on design and development of products, including Alba.

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CURRENCY FLUCTUATIONS

Because most of our revenues in the foreseeable future are expected to continue to be generated in U.S. dollars and a significant portion of our expenses are expected to continue to be incurred in NIS, we are exposed to the risk of appreciation of the NIS vis-a-vis the U.S. dollar. Part of our expenses are executed in Euro, and therefore we are also exposed to the risk of appreciation of the Euro vis-a-vis the U.S dollar. This appreciation would cause an increase in our NIS or Euro expenses as recorded in our U.S. dollar denominated financial reports even though the expenses denominated in NIS or Euro will remain unchanged. A portion of our NIS denominated expenses is linked to changes in the Israeli cost of living index, a portion is linked to increases in NIS payments under collective bargaining agreements and a portion is unlinked.

The dollar cost of our operations in Israel is influenced by the extent to which any increase in the rate of inflation in Israel is (or is not) offset, or is offset on a lagging basis, by the devaluation of the NIS in relation to the dollar. Unless inflation in Israel is offset by a devaluation of the NIS, such inflation will have a negative effect on our profitability because we receive most of our payments in dollars or dollar-linked NIS, but incur a portion of our expenses in NIS and NIS linked to the CPI. See "Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk - Foreign Currency Risk" and "-Interest Rate Risk."

In 2002 and 2004, the rate of devaluation of the NIS vis-a-vis the dollar exceeded the inflation rate in Israel. During 2002 and 2004, the rate of inflation was 6.5% and 1.2%, respectively, while NIS devalued against the U.S. dollar by 7.3% and -1.6% in 2002 and 2004. During 2003, the rate of inflation was (1.9)%, while NIS appreciated against the U.S. dollar by 7.6%. However, to the extent in the future that the rate of inflation in Israel exceeds the rate of devaluation of the NIS in relation to the dollar or if the timing of such devaluation lags behind inflation in Israel, we may be adversely affected.

A devaluation of the NIS in relation to the dollar would have the effect of decreasing the dollar value of any assets or receivables denominated in NIS (unless such receivables are linked to the dollar). Such a devaluation would also have the effect of reducing the dollar amount of any of our expenses or liabilities which are denominated in NIS (unless such expenses or payables are linked to the dollar). Conversely, any increase in the value of the NIS in relation to the dollar will have the effect of increasing the dollar value of any of our unlinked NIS assets and the dollar amounts of any of our unlinked NIS liabilities and expenses. During 2004, we incurred expenses of approximately $0.3 million due to the appreciation of the NIS in relation to the dollar and approximately $0.2 million due to the appreciation of the Euro in relation to the dollar. This appreciation may continue in 2005.

Because exchange rates between the NIS and the dollar fluctuate continuously (albeit with a historically declining trend in the value of the NIS), exchange rate fluctuations and especially larger periodic devaluations will have an impact on our profitability and on period-to-period comparisons of our results. This impact is recorded in our consolidated financial statements in accordance with applicable accounting principles. We may from time to time utilize derivative financial instruments to manage risk exposure to movements in foreign exchange rates. We do not engage in any speculative or profit motivated hedging activities. See "Item 3. Key Information - 3D. Risk Factors. Since most of our revenues are generated in US dollars and a large part of our expenses are in Israeli currency, we are subject to fluctuations in inflation and currency rates."

34

EFFECTIVE CORPORATE TAX RATE

The taxable income of Israeli corporations was generally subject to corporate tax at the statutory rate of 35% in 2004 (compared to a rate of 36% until 2003). The rate in 2005 is 34% and it is scheduled to be reduced to 32% in 2006 and 30% for 2007 and thereafter. However, most of our manufacturing facilities in Israel have been granted Approved Enterprise status under the Investment Law, and consequently income derived from such facilities is

eligible, subject to compliance with certain requirements, for certain tax benefits beginning when such facilities first generate taxable income. We have derived most of our income from our Approved Enterprise facilities. Subject to compliance with applicable requirements, income derived from our Approved Enterprise facilities will be subject to corporate tax at a rate of 25% for the earlier between: (i) ten years beginning in the year that we had taxable income, (ii) twelve years from commencement of production, or (iii) fourteen years from the date of approval.

In addition, should the percentage of foreign investment exceed 25%, Approved Enterprises would qualify for reduced tax rates for an additional three years beyond the initial seven-year period. The benefit period under each of our Approved Enterprises will in any event expire 14 years following the date of the approval of such Approved Enterprise by the Investment Center or 12 years after production commences, whichever is earlier. In the event that the percentage of foreign investment is between 49% and 74%, we would be subject to a corporate tax rate of 20% on income derived from our Approved Enterprises. The proportion of foreign investment is measured annually based on the lowest level of foreign investment during the year. In addition, pursuant to the Investment Law, Approved Enterprises related to investment programs from January 1997 onwards in designated areas which include the location of our primary plants are exempt from tax for the first two years of the Benefit Period commencing in the first year in which taxable income is generated.

There can be no assurance that we will obtain approval for additional Approved Enterprises, or that the provisions of the Investment Law will not change, or that the above-mentioned foreign investment in our shares will be reached for any subsequent year. See "Item 3. Key Information - 3D. Risk Factors - - We are affected by conditions to and possible reduction of government programs and tax benefits."

GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS

We benefit from certain Israeli government programs, particularly as a result of the Approved Enterprise status of substantially all of our existing production facilities in Israel. This status has enabled us to receive investment grants with respect to certain of our capital expenditures. The

Government of Israel has reduced the investment grants available to us from 38% of eligible annual capital expenditures in 1996 to 24% of eligible annual capital expenditures (for projects not exceeding investments of 140 million NIS in any year) since 1997. Commencing in 2001, such investment grants were reduced by the Government of Israel to 20% of eligible annual capital expenditures. There can be no assurance that the Israeli government will not further reduce such investment grants. The termination or reduction of certain programs (particularly benefits available to us as a result of the Approved Enterprise status of certain of our facilities) would increase the costs of acquiring machinery and equipment for its production facilities which could have a material adverse effect on us. See "Item 3. Key Information - 3D. Risk Factors - We are affected by conditions to and possible reduction of government programs and tax benefits."

| | | | TREND INFORMATION. We have seen an improvement in the operating efficiency in our Seamless Division in the beginning of 2005, although we cannot assure that we will be able to return to our previous efficiency levels in the future. In addition, our first quarter of 2005 has seen an increase in sales of active-wear and swim-wear products and we expect that the active-wear sales in 2005 will comprise a significantly bigger part of our total sales than in 2004. For more information, see " - General - 2004 Developments."

We have also seen a reduction of the price of our Cut & Sew products, as well as our sales of these products, that may continue in the future.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS. As of December 31, 2004, we did not have any significant off-balance sheet arrangements.

6C. BOARD PRACTICES

Each Director, other than the External Directors, is generally elected by a vote at the Annual General Meeting of shareholders and serves for a term of one year or until the following Annual General Meeting. Each External Director is elected to serve for a period of three years from the date of the Annual General Meeting. Each office holder will serve until his or her removal by the Board of Directors or resignation from office.

INDEPENDENT/EXTERNAL DIRECTORS

ISRAELI COMPANIES LAW REQUIREMENTS

We are subject to the provisions of the Israeli Companies Law, 1999 which requires that we have at least two External Directors. Under a recent amendment to the Companies Law, at least one of the external directors is required to have Financial Expertise and the other External Directors are required to have Professional Expertise. These requirements are subject to regulations to be promulgated in which the terms Financial Expertise and Professional Expertise would be defined. This recent amendment does not apply to External Directors who were appointed before March 17, 2005 (such as our External Directors).

42

Under the Companies Law, a person may not be appointed as an External Director if he or his relative, partner, employer or any entity under his control has or had during the two years preceding the date of appointment any affiliation with the company, any entity controlling the company or any entity controlled by the company or by this controlling entity. The term affiliation includes: an employment relationship, a business or professional relationship maintained on a regular basis, control, and service as an office holder. No person can serve as an External Director if the person's position or other business creates, or may create, conflicts of interest with the person's responsibilities as an External Director. Until the lapse of two years from termination of office, a company may not engage an External Director to serve as an office holder and cannot employ or receive services from that person, either directly or indirectly, including through a corporation controlled by that person.

Under the Companies Law, External Directors must be elected by a majority vote at a shareholders' meeting, provided that either: (1) the majority of shares voted at the meeting, including at least one-third of the shares of non-controlling shareholders voted at the meeting, vote in favor of the election; or (2) the total number of shares voted against the election of the external director does not exceed one percent of the aggregate voting rights in the company. The initial term of an External Director is three years, which term may be extended for an additional three years. Each committee of a company's board of directors must include at least one External Director, and all External Directors must serve on the audit committee. The Company's External Directors are currently Arie Arieli and Yacov Elinav.

NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE REQUIREMENTS

Our Ordinary Shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and we are subject to the rules of the NYSE applicable to listed companies. Under the current NYSE rules, we are required to have an audit committee consisting of at least three directors, all of who must be independent. Our independent directors, who are all members of the audit committee, are Shirith Kasher, Micha Korman, Arie Arieli and Yacov Elinav. The independence standard under the NYSE rules generally excludes (1) any person who is an employee of a company or its affiliates or any person who is an immediate family member of an executive officer of a company or its affiliates, until the lapse of three years from the termination of such employment, (2) any person who is a partner, controlling shareholder or executive officer of an organization that has a business relationship with the company or who has a direct business relationship with a company, unless the board of directors of the company determines that the business relationship does not interfere with such person's independent judgment, or unless three years have lapsed from the termination of such relationship or his status as a partner, controlling shareholder or executive officer, and (3) any person who is employed as an executive of another corporation where any of the company's executives serves on that corporation's compensation committee.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

NYSE REQUIREMENTS. Under NYSE rules, we are required to have an audit committee consisting of at least three directors, all of whom are financially literate and independent and one of whom has accounting or related financial management expertise. The responsibilities of the audit committee under NYSE rules include evaluating the independence of a company's outside auditors. Pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") has issued new rules that, among other things, require the New York Stock Exchange to impose independence requirements on each member of the audit committee. The New York Stock Exchange has adopted rules that comply with the SEC's requirements and which are applicable to us by July 31, 2005.

The adopted requirements implement two basic criteria for determining independence: (i) audit committee members would be barred from accepting any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee from the issuer or an affiliate of the issuer, other than in the member's capacity as a member of the board of directors and any board committee, and (ii) audit committee members of an issuer that is not an investment company may not be an "affiliated person" of the issuer or any subsidiary of the issuer apart from his or her capacity as a member of the board and any board committee.

43

The SEC has defined "affiliate" for non-investment companies as "a person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, the person specified. "The term "control" is intended to be consistent with the other definitions of this term under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as "the possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract, or otherwise."

COMPANIES LAW REQUIREMENTS. Under the Companies Law, the board of directors of any company that is required to nominate external directors must also appoint an audit committee, comprised of at least three directors including all of the external directors, but excluding the chairman of the board of directors, a controlling shareholder and any director employed by the company or who provides services to the company on a regular basis.

Among the roles of the audit committee is to examine flaws in the business management of the company, in consultation with the internal auditor and the company's independent accountants, and suggest appropriate course of action. The audit committee also determines whether to approve certain actions and transactions with related parties. Arrangements regarding compensation of directors require the approval of the audit committee, the board of directors

and the shareholders.

QUALIFICATIONS OF OTHER DIRECTORS

Under a recent amendment to the Companies Law, the Board is required to determine the minimal number of board member that would be required to have Financial Expertise. This requirement is subject to regulations to be promulgated in which the term Financial Expertise would be defined.

DUTIES OF DIRECTORS

The Companies Law codifies the duty of care and fiduciary duties that an "Office Holder" (as defined below) owes to a company. An Office Holder's duty of care and fiduciary duty include avoiding any conflict of interest between the Office Holder's position in the company and his personal affairs, any competition with the company, avoiding exploiting any business opportunity of the company in order to receive personal advantage for himself or others, and revealing to the company any information or documents relating to the company's affairs which the Office Holder has received due to his position as an Office Holder.

An "Office Holder" is defined as a director, managing director, chief business manager or chief executive officer, executive vice president, vice president, other manager directly subordinate to the CEO or any other person assuming the responsibilities of any of the foregoing positions without regard to such person's title. Under the Companies Law, all arrangements as to compensation of Office Holders who are not directors and who are not controlling shareholders require approval of the board of directors, unless the articles of association provide otherwise. Our articles require that such a transaction which is not irregular shall be approved by the Board of Directors or by the Audit Committee or by any other entity authorized by the Board of Directors. Arrangements regarding the compensation of directors or controlling shareholders also require the approval of the shareholders.

COMMITTEES

Our Board of Directors has established an Audit Committee, Compensation

Committee and Contributions Committee. The Companies Law restricts the delegation of powers from the Board of Directors to its committees in certain manners. The Audit Committee exercises the powers of the Board of Directors with respect to our accounting, reporting and financial control practices, including exercising the responsibility, where appropriate, for reviewing potential conflicts of interest situations. The members of the Audit Committee are Ms. Kasher and Messrs. Arieli, Elinav and Korman. The Compensation Committee administers our share option plans. The members of the Compensation Committee are Mr. Wolfson (Chairman of the Board), one of the external directors (Messrs. Arieli or Elinav) and Mr. Shiran (CEO). The Articles of Association provide that we may contribute reasonable sums for worthy causes, even if the contribution is not in the frame of our business considerations. The Board of Directors has delegated this power to the Contributions Committee. The members of the Contributions Committee are Messrs. Shiran and Arieli (external director). See "Item 10. Additional Information -10B. Memorandum and Articles of Association - Board of Directors."

6D. EMPLOYEES

At December 31, 2004, we employed 2,082 employees in Israel of whom 469 were salaried employees and 1,613 were hourly wage employees. At December 31, 2004, we employed 301 employees in the United States through our subsidiary, Alba, of whom 259 were salaried employees and 42 were hourly wage employees. At December 31, 2004, El-masira employed 440 employees in Jordan all of them were salaried employees

At December 31, 2003, we employed 2,126 employees in Israel of whom 692 were salaried employees and 1,434 were hourly wage employees. At December 31, 2003, we employed 363 employees in the United States through our subsidiary, Alba, of whom 48 were salaried employees and 315 were hourly wage employees. At December 31, 2003, El-masira employed 341 employees in Jordan, all of whom were salaried employees.

At December 31, 2002, we employed 2,011 employees in Israel of whom 582 were salaried employees and 1,429 were hourly wage employees. At December 31, 2002, we employed 644 employees in the United States through our subsidiary, Alba, of whom 79 were salaried employees and 565 were hourly wage employees. At December 31, 2002, El-masira employed 349 employees in Jordan, all of whom were salaried employees.

To increase the motivation of the workforce, many factory employees are eligible for bonuses based upon the number of units such employees produce in any given day. We believe that relations with our employees are good.

Certain collective bargaining agreements between the Histadrut (General Federation of Labor in Israel) and the Coordination Bureau of Economic Organizations (including the Industrialists' Association of Israel, or the Association) are applicable to our employees in Israel. In addition, a collective bargaining agreement relating to members of the Association, which governs employee relations in the textile and clothing industry, applies to most of our employees in Israel. These agreements concern, among other things, the maximum length of the work day and the work week, minimum wages, contributions to a pension fund, insurance for work-related accidents, procedures for dismissing employees, determination of severance pay and other conditions of employment. Furthermore, pursuant to certain provisions of such agreements, the wages of most of our employees are automatically adjusted in accordance with cost-of-living adjustments, as determined on a nationwide basis and pursuant to agreements with the Histadrut based on changes in the CPI. The amounts and frequency of such adjustments are modified from time to time.

Israeli law generally requires the payment by employers of severance pay upon the retirement or death of an employee or upon termination of employment by the employer or, in certain circumstances, by the employee. We currently fund our ongoing severance obligations by making monthly payments to pension funds, employee accounts in a provident fund and insurance policies. In addition, according to the National Insurance Law, Israeli employees and employers are required to pay specified amounts to the National Insurance Institute, which is similar to the U.S. Social Security Administration. Since January 1, 1995, such amounts also include payments for national health insurance payable by

employees. The payments to the National Insurance Institute are determined progressively in accordance with the wages and range from 10.4% to 16.3% of wages, of which the employer contributes 5.9% of wages, and the employee contributes the rest. A majority of our permanent employees in Israel are covered by general and/or individual life and pension insurance policies providing customary benefits to employees, including retirement and severance benefits. The employers generally contribute up to 15.8% (depending on the employee) of base wages to such plans and the permanent employees contribute up to 5.5% of their base wages.

None of Alba's employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement.

SHARE OPTION PLAN

In September 1997, we adopted the Tefron Ltd. 1997 Share Option Plan to enable us to attract and retain qualified persons as employees, consultants and directors and to motivate such persons with an equity participation in us.

GENERAL

The Share Option Plan authorizes the issuance of options to purchase 2,266,049 Ordinary Shares. At a shareholders meeting held on March 31, 2004, the shareholders voted to increase the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Share Option Plan by 446,274 Ordinary Shares to 2,712,323 Ordinary Shares. As of April 6, 2005 options to purchase 2,369,555 of such Ordinary Shares had been granted to our senior managers, directors and employees, of which 1,532,156 options had been granted to our senior managers and directors as a group. Upon the occurrence of any Ordinary Share split, reverse Ordinary Share split, recapitalization or rights offerings or other substantially similar corporate transaction or event, we shall make such equitable changes or adjustments necessary to the number of shares subject to each outstanding option in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the optionees' rights. Options granted to our employees shall be issued to a trustee nominated by the Board of Directors, which trustee shall hold the options, and any Ordinary Shares issued upon exercise thereof, for the benefit of the optionees for two years from the date of the grant.

ADMINISTRATION

The Share Option Plan is administered directly by our Board of Directors or by a committee appointed by the Board of Directors which is authorized, among other things and, subject to the provisions of the Companies Law, to: (i) designate participants in the Share Option Plan; (ii) determine the terms and provisions of the options, including the number of Ordinary Shares to which an option may relate and the terms, conditions and restrictions thereof; (iii) accelerate the right of an optionee to exercise any previously granted options; (iv) construe and interpret the provisions and supervise the administration of the Share Option Plan; and (v) make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of the Share Option Plan.

VESTING PERIODS

Unless otherwise determined by our Board of Directors and, in the case of option grants to Directors or an interested party, approved by our shareholders, one-third of the options granted under the Share Option Plan are exercisable on each of the first three anniversaries from the date of grant. Unless otherwise determined by our Board of Directors and, in the case of option grants to Directors or an interested party, approved by our shareholders, the options expire on the tenth anniversary from the date of grant, and any additional options granted in the future shall vest in the same manner over a three-year period commencing on the date of their grant.

47

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE SHARE OPTION PLAN

We may, at any time and from time to time, amend, alter or discontinue the Share Option Plan; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no amendment or alteration of the Share Option Plan shall adversely affect an optionee's rights under any outstanding option without the consent of such optionee.

ACCOUNTING TREATMENT

For a discussion of the accounting treatment of the Share Option Plan, see Note 12 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

AMENDMENT TO THE SHARE OPTION PLAN EFFECTIVE AS OF JANUARY 1, 2003

In December 2002, in order to comply with the new tax rules under the amended Israeli Income Tax Ordinance [New Version], 1961, our Board approved an amendment to our Share Option Plan.

The new tax rules enable a company to issue options under three alternative tracks, which may generally be described as follows: (i) without a trustee, under which the income will be considered employment income, the income will continue to be taxed at regular marginal rates of up to the maximal tax rate plus payments to the National Insurance Institute and payment of health tax, and no expense is deductible by the employer; (ii) with a trustee under the employment income track, under which the options are held by a trustee for a

period of twelve months from the end of the tax year in which the grant took place, the income is considered regular employment income taxed at marginal rates of up to 50% plus payments to the National Insurance Institute and payment of health tax, and the employer is entitled to a deductible expense equivalent to the income attributed to the employee; or (iii) with a trustee under the capital gains track, under which the options are held by a trustee for a period of two years from the end of the tax year in which the grant took place, the income is considered to be a capital gain and is taxable at a reduced rate of 25%, and no expense is deductible by the employer.

On February 27, 2003, in order to enable us to grant options after January 1, 2003, we filed an amendment to the Share Option Plan with the tax authorities and informed them of our election of the capital gains track (the third alternative above). In addition, under the amendment to the Share Option Plan, we may also issue options under the provisions of the tax track without a trustee under the first alternative. The capital gains track will apply to all trustee-track options to be granted by us until December 31, 2004. After this period has ended, we may change our election.

The new rules and the amendment to the Share Option Plan described above apply only to issuances of options beginning on January 1, 2003 and thereafter. Options issued before such date will continue to be governed by the law in effect prior to the amendment.

Please see "Item 10. Additional Information- 10C. Material Contracts - FIMI Agreements" for a more complete description of these agreements.

LEASE ARRANGEMENT

On August 12, 1997, we entered into an agreement to lease until 2011 approximately 143,000 square feet of industrial space in a facility (the Hi-Tex 1 facility) adjacent to its current facilities in Segev from a wholly-owned subsidiary of Macpell for a current monthly rent of approximately $65,000. The first rental payment was made upon entrance into the facility on October 1, 1999. On December 21, 1998, we entered into an agreement to lease until 2012 approximately 180,000 square feet of industrial space in a second facility (the Hi-Tex 2 facility) adjacent to our existing facilities in Segev from a wholly-owned subsidiary of Macpell for a monthly rent of approximately $87,000. The first rental payment was made upon entrance into the facility on March 1, 2000. We conduct our Hi-Tex manufacturing operations in these facilities. In Segev, we also lease from Macpell's subsidiary an 83,000 square foot facility under a lease that expires in 2006 for a monthly rent of approximately $43,000 and a 65,000 square foot warehouse under a lease that expires in 2012 for a monthly rent of approximately $26,000. The rent payable under these leases is 50% linked to the Israeli and U.S. consumer product index and 50% to the exchange rate between the NIS and the dollar. These agreements provide for a 5% increase in monthly rent every 3-5 years. According to the terms of the lease agreements, we pay the property insurance premiums on these facilities. We have initiated discussions with Macpell in an effort to reduce our annual payments under these lease agreements. We cannot assure that we will be successful in this effort to reduce our annual payments.

52

All of these facilities are subject to a long-term lease agreement between Macpell's subsidiary and the Israel Land Authority. Under the terms of such lease agreement, Macpell's affiliate was granted a 49-year lease over such property.

PRODUCTS PURCHASES FROM TEFRON

An affiliate of Macpell purchases from us various products and sells them in the local Israeli market and abroad. In 2002, our sales to this affiliate were approximately $1 million, in 2003 approximately $1.2 million and in 2004 approximately $ 0.8 million. We believe these prices to be no less favorable than those were available to us from unaffiliated third parties. See Note 16 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

MACRO SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENT

On March 2, 2003, we entered into a share purchase agreement with Macpell, and with Mr. Ron Grundland, pursuant to which we agreed to acquire 100% of the outstanding ordinary shares of Macro Clothing Ltd., upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, in consideration for the assumption by Tefron of certain guarantees granted by the sellers in favor of Macro in the aggregate amount of approximately $530,000, subject to adjustments.

10B. MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

SECURITIES REGISTERS

Our transfer agent and register is American Stock Transfer & Trust Company and its address is 59 Maiden Lane, New York, New York 10038. Section 2 of our Memorandum of Association provides that our principal objects, among other things, are to engage in any business connected with manufacturing, processing, supplying and marketing undergarments, textiles and ready-made clothes. Article 2A of our Articles of Association provides that we may, at any time, carry on business in any field or type of business permitted to us, whether explicit or implied, according to our Memorandum of Association.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Companies Law requires that certain transactions, actions and arrangements be approved as provided for in a company's articles of association and in certain circumstances by the audit committee by the board of directors itself and by the shareholders. The vote required by the audit committee and the board of directors for approval of such matters, in each case, is a majority of the disinterested directors participating in a duly convened meeting.

The Companies Law requires that a member of the board of directors or senior management of the company promptly disclose any personal interest that he or she may have (either directly or by way of any corporation in which he or she is, directly or indirectly, a 5% or greater shareholder, director or general manager or in which he or she has the right to appoint at least one director or the general manager) and all related material information known to him or her, in connection with any existing or proposed transaction by the company. In addition, if the transaction is an extraordinary transaction (that is, a transaction other than in the ordinary course of business, otherwise than on market terms, or is likely to have a material impact on the company's profitability, assets or liabilities), the member of the board of directors or senior management also must disclose any personal interest held by his or her spouse, siblings, parents, grandparents, descendants, spouse's descendants and the spouses of any of the foregoing.

55

Once the member of the board of directors or senior management complies with the above disclosure requirement, a company may approve the transaction in accordance with the provisions of its articles of association. If the transaction is with a third party in which the member of the board of directors or senior management has a personal interest, the approval must confirm that the transaction is not adverse to the company's interest. Furthermore, if the transaction is an extraordinary transaction, then, in addition to any approval stipulated by the articles of association, it also must be approved by the company's audit committee and then by the board of directors, and, under certain circumstances, by a meeting of the shareholders of the company.

Our Articles of Association provide that, subject to the Companies Law, all actions executed by the Board of Directors or by a committee thereof or by any person acting as a Director or a member of a committee of the Board of Directors or by the General Manager will be deemed to be valid even if, after their execution, it is discovered that there was a certain flaw in the appointment of such persons or that any one of such persons was disqualified from serving at his or her office.

Our Articles of Association provide that, subject to the Companies Law, an officer is entitled to participate and vote in meetings concerning the approval of actions or transaction in which he or she has a personal interest. Subject to the Companies Law, a transaction between an officer of Tefron or an entity controlling Tefron, and us, or a transaction between any other person in which an officer or an entity controlling the company has a personal interest and us, and which is not an extraordinary transaction, shall be approved by the Board of Directors or by the Audit Committee or by any other entity authorized by the Board of Directors.

Our Articles of Association provide that the Board of Directors may delegate all of its powers to such committees of the Board of Directors as it deems appropriate, subject to the provisions of the Companies Law. The Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing, among other things, potential conflicts of interest situations where appropriate. See "Item 6. Directors, Senior

Management and Employees - 6C. Board Practices - Committees."

Arrangements regarding compensation of Directors require the approval of the Audit Committee and the shareholders. The Board of Directors may from time to time, at its discretion, cause us to borrow or secure the payment of any money for our purposes, and may secure or provide for the repayment of such money in the manner as it deems fit.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

We are authorized to issue 49,995,500 Ordinary Shares, par value NIS 1.0 per share, and 4,500 Ordinary B Shares, par value NIS 1.0 per share. Upon consummation of the initial public offering of the Ordinary Shares, the Ordinary B Shares were converted into Deferred Shares, all of which are issued and outstanding and held of record by two holders.

Our Ordinary Shares do not have preemptive rights. The ownership or voting of Ordinary Shares by nonresidents of Israel or foreign owners is not restricted or limited in any way by our Memorandum of Association or Articles of Association, or by the laws of the State of Israel.

TRANSFER OF SHARES AND NOTICES. Fully paid Ordinary Shares are issued in registered form and may be freely transferred pursuant to our Articles of Association unless such transfer is restricted or prohibited by another instrument. Each shareholder of record is entitled to receive at least seven calendar days' prior notice of an ordinary shareholders' meeting and at least 21 calendar days' prior notice of any shareholders' meeting in which a special or extraordinary resolution is to be adopted. For purposes of determining the shareholders entitled to notice and to vote at such meeting, the Board of Directors may fix the record date not more than 40 nor less than four calendar days prior to the date of such meeting, nor more than 40 days prior to any other action.

56

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS. The Ordinary Shares do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of Directors. As a result, the holders of Ordinary Shares that represents more than 50% of the voting power have the power to elect all the Directors.

DIVIDEND AND LIQUIDATION RIGHTS. Our Ordinary Shares are entitled to the full amount of any cash or share dividend, if declared. We may declare a dividend to be paid to the holders of Ordinary Shares according to their rights and interests in our profits. In the event of our liquidation, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors, our assets will be distributed to the holders of Ordinary Shares in proportion to the nominal value of their respective holdings. Such right may be affected by the grant of preferential dividend or distribution rights to the holders of a class of shares with preferential rights that may be authorized in the future by a special resolution of our shareholders. Our Board of Directors may declare interim dividends and propose the final dividend with respect to any fiscal year only out of profits. Declaration of a final dividend requires approval by an ordinary shareholders' resolution, which may decrease but not increase the amount proposed by the Board of Directors. Failure to obtain such shareholder approval does not affect previously paid interim dividends.

VOTING, SHAREHOLDERS' MEETINGS AND RESOLUTIONS. Holders of Ordinary Shares have one vote for each Ordinary Share held on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders. Such voting rights may be affected by the grant of any special voting rights to the holders of a class of shares with preferential rights that may be authorized in the future. The quorum required for an ordinary meeting of shareholders consists of at least two shareholders present in person or by proxy who hold or represent, in the aggregate, at least one-fourth of the voting rights of the issued share capital. A meeting adjourned for lack of a quorum is adjourned to the same day in the following week at the same time and place or any time and place as the Directors designate in a notice to the shareholders. At such reconvened meeting the required quorum consists of two members present in person or by proxy who hold or represent, in the aggregate, at least one-fourth of our voting power.

Annual general meetings of shareholders are held once every year at such

time (within a period of not more than 15 months after the last preceding annual general meeting) and such place as determined by the board of directors. The board of directors may call extraordinary general meetings of shareholders and are obligated to do so upon a written request in accordance with the Companies Law. The Companies Law provides that an extraordinary general meeting of shareholder may be called by the board of directors or by a request of two directors or 25% of the directors in office, or by shareholders holding at least 5% of the issued share capital of the company and at least 1% of the voting rights, or of shareholders holding at least 5% of the voting rights of the company.

An ordinary resolution (such as a resolution for the election of directors, the declaration of dividends or the appointment of auditors) requires approval by the holders of a majority of the voting rights represented at the meeting, in person or by proxy, and voting thereon. A special or extraordinary resolution (such as a resolution amending our Memorandum of Association or Articles of Association or approving any change in capitalization, merger, consolidation, winding-up, or other changes as specified in the Companies Law) requires approval of the holders of 75% of the voting rights represented at the meeting, in person or by proxy, and voting thereon. In addition, if our share capital is divided into different classes of shares, the approval of the holders of 75% of the issued shares of a particular class or a special resolution passed at a separate general meeting of the holders of the shares of such class is required to modify or abrogate the rights attached to such shares.

DEFERRED SHARES. Pursuant to our Articles of Association, our Ordinary B Shares automatically converted into Deferred Shares upon consummation of our initial public offering. Subsequent to the conversion, there were 4,500 Deferred Shares outstanding. The Deferred Shares are non-transferable and entitle their holders, upon our liquidation, to the par value of the shares but to no voting, dividend or any other rights.

10C. MATERIAL CONTRACTS

Set forth below are summaries of our material contracts. Because these are summaries, they are qualified by reference to the actual agreements, which are attached as exhibits to this Annual Report.

ALBAHEALTH OPTION AGREEMENT

In connection with the formation of AlbaHealth LLC (described in "Item 4. Information on the Company - 4A. History and Development of the Company"), our subsidiary, Alba, became party to a Put Option Agreement. Pursuant to the provisions of the Put Option Agreement, for a period of three years commencing on September 2004 (or, with respect to GE Capital, commencing on such earlier date as the credit agreement terminates), each of Alba and GE Capital has an option to require AlbaHealth to purchase all, but not less than all, of such party's ownership interest in AlbaHealth. The consideration to be paid to Alba for its interests in AlbaHealth is calculated in accordance with a formula which taking into account certain factors, such as AlbaHealth's fair value and its net sales and the date of exercise of the put option. The consideration to be paid to GE Capital for its interests in AlbaHealth shall be equal to its pro-rata share of the fair value of AlbaHealth.

Pursuant to the Put Option Agreement, the fair value of AlbaHealth shall be determined based on a formula which takes into account the difference between the sum of cash and cash equivalents of AlbaHealth and six times the EBITDA of AlbaHealth for the preceding year, and the total debt of AlbaHealth at such time. AlbaHealth's obligation to pay the exercising party its put consideration is subject to the compliance by AlbaHealth of certain conditions as set forth in the Put Option Agreement. Pursuant to an amendment to the Put Option Agreement, dated December 13, 2004, in the event the Alba Party delivers a "Put Notice" between July 1, 2005 and December 31, 2005, then for purposes of determining the fair value of AlbaHealth, AlbaHealth's EBITDA will be deemed to be not less than US$6,434,000 ("Minimum EBITDA") and not more than the Minimum EBITDA plus 50% of the amount by which the actual EBITDA (as defined in the Put Option Agreement) exceeds the Minimum EBITDA.

Under the terms of a Share Purchase Agreement with Norfet, Limited

Partnership, we agreed to provide Norfet, Limited Partnership with a letter of undertaking from Alba to exercise its put option in respect of AlbaHealth immediately following September 2004 as soon as AlbaHealth's EBITDA for four consecutive quarters equals or exceeds $8 million, subject to certain conditions. See " - FIMI Agreements - Tefron Agreement" below.

FIMI AGREEMENTS

We entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the "Tefron Agreement"), dated February 17, 2004, with Norfet, Limited Partnership (the "Investor"), which is wholly owned by (i) N.D.M.S. Ltd., a company wholly owned by FIMI Opportunity Fund, L.P., (ii) FIMI Israel Opportunity Fund, Limited Partnership and (iii) Migdal Insurance Company and Shamir Insurers Investment Company, among others, pursuant to which we issued to the Investor 3,529,412 Tefron ordinary shares for a base price of $4.25 per share and a base aggregate consideration of $15 million. Due to purchase price adjustment provisions in the Tefron Agreement, Tefron issued to Norfet an additional 661,765 ordinary shares in April 2005.

In connection with the Tefron Agreement, the Investor also acquired an additional 1,365,000 Tefron ordinary shares in the aggregate from Arwol and Macpell pursuant to an Agreement (the "Macpell Agreement") by and among Macpell, Arwol and the Investor. Following the closing of the Tefron Agreement and the Macpell Agreement, the Investor held 4,894,412, or approximately 30.7% of the outstanding share capital of Tefron, without taking into account the Equity Shares. Due to purchase price adjustment provisions in the Macpell Agreement, Arwol transferred 106,908 additional ordinary shares to Norfet in April 2005.

58

Tefron, the Investor, Arwol and Macpell executed at the closing of the Tefron Agreement and the Macpell Agreement a Registration Rights Agreement which replaced the existing Registration Rights Agreement among the Company, Arwol and Macpell.

Below is a description of the principal terms of these transactions. The

Tefron Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, and all transactions contemplated by such agreements to which Tefron is a party are collectively referred to as the "FIMI Transactions".

TEFRON AGREEMENT

ISSUE PRICE ADJUSTMENT. Under the terms of the Tefron Agreement, in the event Tefron's earnings before income tax, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") for 2004 (excluding (i) the EBITDA of Alba Health LLC ("AlbaHealth") to the extent that it exceeds zero and (ii) any increase in EBITDA of Alba Waldensian, Inc. as a result of the exercise of the put option by AlbaHealth described below) as set forth in Tefron's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ending on December 31, 2004 is less than $23 million, then the price per share of $4.25 will be adjusted as follows: (i) if Tefron's EBITDA for 2004 was equal to or less than $16 million, then the share price per share was to be reduced retroactively by $0.75 (to $3.50), and if the Company's EBITDA for 2004 is higher than $16 million but lower than $23 million, then the share price reduction was to be calculated in accordance with the following formula:

Price Per Share = 4.25 - 0.75*[x]

Where x = [(23,000,000 -2004 EBITDA)/1,000,000]/7]

Tefron had the discretion to decide, in such instances, whether to issue additional shares or to refund a proportionate part of the consideration paid by the Investor.

Tefron's EBDITA for 2004 was $11.809 million. and pursuant to an amendment to the Tefron Agreement signed on March 31, 2005 Tefron issued to Norfet an additional 661,765 ordinary shares, instead of the adjustment mechanism provided for in the Tefron Agreement.

Under the terms of the Tefron Agreement, the issue price per share will be increased in the event that, during the three-year period following the closing of the Tefron Agreement and the Macpell Agreement, the Investor sells at least 20% of the total number of shares purchased from Tefron and Macpell and Arwol for cash or publicly traded securities (excluding publicly traded securities in connection with a merger or reorganization of Tefron), at an average price of at least $9.22 per share (after adjustments for dividends, share combinations and splits). The amount of the increase will be equal to the difference between the average sale price and the threshold of $9.22, provided that in any event, an upwards adjustment will be no more than $0.75 per such sold share. The amount of any increase is to be paid by the Investor to Tefron on the third anniversary of the closing of the Tefron Agreement and the Macpell Agreement.

The adjustment mechanism described in the immediately preceding paragraph will also apply in respect of the four-year period following the closing of the Tefron Agreement and the Macpell Agreement, but in such event, the investor average sale price must exceed $11.60 per shares (rather than $9.22 per share) for adjustment to apply.

ALBA PUT OPTION. The Tefron Agreement provides that Tefron is required to provide the Investor with a letter of undertaking from Alba, a wholly owned subsidiary of Tefron, to exercise its put option in respect of AlbaHealth, granted pursuant to a Put Option Agreement dated September 6, 2003, as amended on December 13, 2004 immediately following September 2004 as soon as AlbaHealth's EBITDA for four consecutive quarters equals or exceeds $8 million. However, Alba will not be required to exercise the put option for so long as (i) Tefron's total consolidated debt is equal to or is lower than $50 million (of which no more than $30 million may be long term debt) and (ii) neither Alba nor Tefron or its subsidiaries is in default under any financial covenant in loan agreement(s) to which it is a party.

59

LIMITS ON EQUITY LINE OF CREDIT. Tefron undertook not to exercise any right to issue shares to a third party investor (or its affiliates) under an equity line of credit without the consent of the Investor, unless such issuance is at a price of no less than $4.6 per share or if the issuance is required in order for Tefron to satisfy covenants relating to shareholders equity under company loan

agreements or if the issuance is required for Tefron to satisfy certain NYSE listing requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tefron may not issue to such third party investor (or its affiliates) an aggregate sum of more than 12% of Tefron's issued capital without the consent of the Investor.

APPROVAL OF RELATED AMENDMENTS. For so long as the provisions of the Macpell Agreement described below under "- Macpell Agreement - Agreements of the Parties" are in effect, any change in any agreement or arrangement between Tefron and Arwol, Macpell or Wolfson in effect at the time of closing or the adoption of any new agreement or arrangement between Tefron and such parties will require investor's prior approval. Similarly, any amendment to the management fee arrangement with investor or the adoption of any new agreement or arrangement between Tefron and the investor will require approval of Macpell and Arwol.

INCREASE IN SHARES AVAILABLE FOR ISSUANCE UNDER TEFRON LTD. 1997 SHARE OPTION PLAN. As a result of the transactions contemplated by the Tefron Agreement, the shareholders of Tefron were asked to increase the plan by 446,274 ordinary shares, which was approved by the shareholders of Tefron on March 31, 2004.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

The Investor entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Tefron, Arwol and Macpell on the date of closing with respect to the ordinary shares that the Investor acquired pursuant to the Tefron Agreement and the Macpell Agreement replacing the existing Registration Rights Agreement.

The Registration Rights Agreement is substantially the same as the Registration Rights Agreement approved by the shareholders of Tefron and entered into by Company, Arwol and Macpell in November 2003, other than (i) the insertion of a new provision granting to the Investor, Arwol and Macpell the right, once every 18 months, to request a registration on Form F-3 (short form registration statement) when the aggregate net proceeds from the sale of such holders' securities is at least $3,000,000, in which event Tefron would be obligated keep such registration statement effective so as to permit sale of ordinary shares pursuant to the Registration Statement for a period of two

years, subject to certain limitations, and (ii) the amendment of an existing provision granting to the Investor, Arwol and Macpell the right to request a registration even though Tefron is not eligible to use Form F-3 (short form registration statement), in which event Tefron would be obligated keep such registration statement effective so as to permit sale of ordinary shares pursuant to the Registration Statement for a period of 120 days, subject to certain limitations.

In connection with the execution of the Share Purchase Agreement with Leber Partners, L.P., we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Leber Partners, the Investor, Arwol and Macpell which replaced, and is on substantially the same terms as, the Registration Rights Agreement that we agreed to execute in connection with the Tefron Agreement. See "- Leber Partners, L.P. - Registration Rights Agreement."

MACPELL AGREEMENT

At the same time as the Investor proposed to Tefron to enter into the Tefron Agreement, the Investor proposed to Arwol to purchase from it an additional amount of approximately 1.365 million Ordinary Shares at the base price of $5.538 per share, and concomitantly, and as a condition to the said purchase, to enter into a shareholders agreement. Arwol offered Macpell to join it and take part in the sale transaction. Under the terms of the Macpell Agreement among the Investor, Arwol and Macpell, it was agreed that the base price for purchase of the shares, would be $5.538 per share and the aggregate purchase price would be $7,559,370.

60

PURCHASE PRICE ADJUSTMENT. The purchase price of $5.538 per share under the Macpell Agreement was subject to adjustment downwards or upwards on substantially the same terms as the adjustment of the issue price under the Tefron Agreement, as described above; provided that if Tefron's EBITDA for 2004 is between $16 million and $23 million, then the share price reduction was to be

calculated in accordance with the following formula:

Price per share = 5.538 - 0.75*[x]

Where x = [(23,000,000 -2004 EBITDA)/1,000,000]/7]

Tefron's EBITDA for 2004 was $11.809 million, and due to purchase price adjustment, Arwol transferred 106,908 additional ordinary shares to Norfet in April 2005, and Macpell elected to pay Norfet cash in lieu of transferring additional shares to Norfet.

AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.

COMPOSITION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. Arwol, Macpell and the Investor agreed to vote all of Tefron ordinary shares owned or controlled by each of them for the election to Tefron's Board of Directors of: (i) three members (of whom at least one will qualify as an "independent director" under the NYSE rules) and, subject to applicable law - one external director, that shall be nominated by the Investor (one of whom shall be a woman), (ii) three members (of whom at least one will qualify as an independent director and a financial expert under the NYSE rules)and, subject to applicable law, one external director, that shall be nominated by Arwol and Macpell, and (iii) Tefron's chief executive officer.

Subject to the provisions of applicable law, on or before such shareholders meeting, Arwol, Macpell and the Investor will endeavor to agree on the identity of the Chairman as of and following such shareholders meeting; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the event they are unable to agree on the identity of the Chairman, each of the Investor, on the one hand, and Macpell and Arwol, on the other hand, will be entitled to designate the Chairman for an 18 month period, provided that the Investor will be the first to exercise such right commencing from Tefron's first Annual General Meeting of Shareholders in the year 2005.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. Arwol, Macpell and the Investor agreed to appoint an

Executive Committee for advisory purposes, comprising of Messrs. Arie Wolfson and Ishay Davidi (or, an alternate member appointed by Arwol and Macpell (if Arie Wolfson cannot fulfill his duties) or an alternative member appointed by the Investor (if Ishay Davidi cannot fulfill his duties). Decisions of the Executive Committee do not bind Tefron in any way.

RIGHTS OF FIRST OFFER; TAG-ALONG. The Macpell Agreement contains provisions which require that if Arwol, Macpell or the Investor wishes to transfer ordinary shares of Tefron to a third party, it must first make an offer to transfer the shares the other parties, subject to certain exceptions. The agreement also gives the right to the offerees to sell certain of their Company ordinary shares to the proposed purchaser of the ordinary shares rather than accepting the offer from the transferor.

DRAG ALONG RIGHTS. The Macpell Agreement contains provisions which provide that if any of Arwol, Macpell or the Investor secures a bona fide offer from any third party offeror to purchase all of the Ordinary Shares then held by such party, in cash or publicly traded securities, at a price per share (adjusted for allocation of dividend, bonus shares, splits etc.) of not less than $10 (provided that such price per share shall not be lower than 80% of the average of the closing prices of Tefron's shares on the NYSE over the consecutive 60 trading days immediately preceding such sale), and the offeror conditions its offer on the acquisition of all the shares held by the other two parties to the Macpell Agreement at such time, such other two parties will be required under certain conditions to sell all of the shares of Tefron then held by them to such offeror, at the same price and upon the same terms and conditions as those to which the sale by the initiator is subject.

61

DISCUSSIONS PRIOR TO MEETINGS. Arwol, Macpell and the Investor agreed in the Macpell Agreement to meet regularly and in any event prior to each General Meeting of shareholders of Tefron and to review, discuss and attempt to reach a unified position with respect to principal issues on the agenda of each such meeting. The parties clarified that this should not be interpreted as forcing

any party to act or vote according to any position stated at such prior meeting.

DIVIDEND DISTRIBUTION. The parties agreed to formulate a mutually agreeable dividend distribution policy for Tefron, which policy shall provide for the distribution of an annual amount, net after taxes (including withholding tax), of at least $2 million with respect to calendar year 2004, and at least $4.5 million, effective as of calendar year 2005, and they will utilize their best efforts to cause Tefron to adopt such policy, subject to: (a) the provisions of applicable law (including NYSE requirements); (b) any undertaking and commitment made or to be made towards banks and other creditors; (c) the decision of Tefron's Board of Directors, taking into account Tefron's financial needs, investments and all other relevant aspects.

LEBER PARTNERS L.P.

SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENT

We also entered into a Share Purchase Agreement, dated March 3, 2004 with Leber Partners, L.P., which is a group of investors represented by Mr. Zvi Limon. The investors invested $5 million in cash in Tefron for approximately 1.07 million ordinary shares of Tefron at a base price of $4.65 per share. According to the agreement, the base price per share will be subject to adjustments and may be increased or reduced by up to $0.75 per share.

62

ISSUE PRICE ADJUSTMENT. The purchase price of $4.65 per share was subject to adjustment downwards or upwards on substantially the same terms as the adjustment of the issue price under the Tefron Agreement and the Macpell Agreement, as described above; provided that if Tefron's EBITDA for 2004 is between $16 million and $23 million, then the share price reduction was to be calculated in accordance with the following formula:

Price per share = 4.65 - 0.75*[x]

Where x = [(23,000,000 -2004 EBITDA)/1,000,000]/7]

Tefron EBDITA for 2004 was $11.809 million. Pursuant to an amendment to the Purchase Agreement signed on March 3, 2004, Tefron issued to Leber an additional 201,613 ordinary shares, instead of the adjustment mechanism provided for in the Purchase Agreement.

Under the terms of the share purchase agreement, the issue price per share will be increased in the event that, during the three-year period following the closing of the agreement, the investors sell for cash or publicly traded

securities (excluding publicly traded securities in connection with a merger or reorganization of Tefron) at least 20% of the total number of shares they purchased from Tefron at an average price of at least $9.22 per share (after adjustments for dividends, share combinations and splits). The amount of the increase will be equal to the difference between the average sale price and the threshold of $9.22, provided that in any event, an upwards adjustment will be no more than $0.75 per such sold share. The amount of any increase is to be paid to Tefron on the third anniversary of the closing.

The adjustment mechanism described in the immediately preceding paragraph will also apply in respect of the four-year period following the closing, but in such event, the average sale price must exceed $11.60 per shares (rather than $9.22 per share) for adjustment to apply.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

In connection with the execution of the Share Purchase Agreement with Leber Partners, we agreed to enter into a Registration Rights Agreement with Leber Partners, the Investor under the Tefron Agreement, Arwol and Macpell. This Registration Rights Agreement replaced, and is on substantially the same terms as, the Registration Rights Agreement that we agreed to execute in connection with the Tefron Agreement, other than as provided below. In addition to the rights to be granted to all of the shareholders that are to be party to the Registration Rights Agreement, Leber Partners would have the right to request a registration (even though we would not be eligible to use a short form registration) of all, but not less than all, of the ordinary shares then held by Leber Partners, but in any event not less than 500,000 ordinary shares. This would be below the threshold required for the other shareholders (which would be a request from holders of at least 25% of the aggregate number of ordinary shares subject to the agreement at such time to register a minimum of five percent (5%) of the share capital of Tefron then outstanding but not less than 500,000 Ordinary Shares).

EQUITY LINE CREDIT FACILITY

On March 9, 2004, we entered into an equity line credit facility with Brittany Capital Management Ltd. ("Brittany"), an entity advised by Southridge Capital Management LLC . Under the agreement, we have an option to call funds of up to the lesser of $15 million or 19.9% of our outstanding share capital over the next three years. Under the financing facility, we will be entitled to issue shares to Brittany from time to time, at our own election, subject to certain minimum and maximum limitations, but in no event will Brittany be obligated to own more than 4.99% of our ordinary shares at any one time. The price to be paid by Brittany will be at a discount of 6% to the market price of our ordinary shares (as calculated under the agreement) during a period prior to the issuance of the shares. The "market price" under the agreement is calculated to be the average of the lowest closing prices for any four trading days (not necessarily consecutive) during the ten trading day period immediately following the date on which we deliver a written notice to Brittany setting forth the dollar amount with respect to which we will require Brittany to purchase our Ordinary Shares.

63

Before drawing on the equity line, we must satisfy certain closing conditions, including the effectiveness of a registration statement that we must file relating to the shares to be issued to Brittany. In addition, under our agreement with Norfet, Limited Partnership described above under "- FIMI Agreements - Tefron Agreement", we require the consent of Norfet for the issuance of shares under an equity line of credit if such issuance is at a price of less than $4.6 per share unless the issuance is required in order for us to satisfy covenants relating to shareholders equity under company loan agreements or to satisfy certain NYSE listing requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the issuance under the equity line of an aggregate sum of more than 12% of our issued capital will also require the consent of Norfet.

OUR CREDIT AGREEMENTS

To finance the acquisition of Alba, AWS, our wholly-owned subsidiary which merged with and into Alba following our tender offer for Alba, entered into a credit agreement, dated as of December 13, 1999, with Bank Hapoalim B.M. and the Israel Discount Bank of New York, as subsequently amended. The Credit Agreement provided for a tender offer credit facility of up to $70.5 million.

The Credit Agreement also provides for a seven-year term loan facility of up to $65.5 million, which was drawn down as a single borrowing at the time of the merger and amortizes in 11 consecutive semi-annual installments commencing on January 15, 2002. In addition, the Credit Agreement further provides a one-year revolving loan facility of up to $5.0 million. The proceeds from the term loan facility and the revolving loan facility were used to repay the tender offer credit facility, which was used initially to finance the acquisition of Alba and to refinance certain indebtedness of Alba.

SECURITY. The term loan facility and the revolving loan facility are secured by the following:

  • o a floating lien on all the personal property of Alba and its subsidiaries,
  • o pledges of all non-margin stock of Alba owned by Tefron U.S. Holdings Corp., the parent company of AWS and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tefron, and all subsidiary stock then owned by Alba, and

  • o creating liens other than certain permitted encumbrances;

  • o creating or assuming any guarantee obligations other than certain permitted guarantee obligations;

  • o merging, consolidating, amalgamating or entering into any other form of business combination with a third party, or liquidating or dissolving;

  • o selling assets, subject to certain exceptions which include sale of assets in the ordinary course of business or in amounts not exceeding $250,000 in any twelve-month period;

  • o declaring or setting aside funds for payment of dividends;

64

  • o making capital expenditures, subject to certain exceptions such as capital expenditures in the ordinary course of business;
  • o making investments, loans or advances other than as specified;
  • o entering into transactions with affiliates unless certain requirements are satisfied.

The Credit Agreement requires that we maintain certain financial ratios related to shareholders' equity and operating results. The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of defaults, including the failure to pay interest or principal, material breach of any representation or warranty or breach of any covenant, cross-defaults, bankruptcy, a judgment in excess of $100,000 or a change in control event relating to Tefron or Alba or its subsidiaries.

Pursuant to the amendment of our Credit Agreement, the repayment schedule of the loans will be spread over the period from 2005-2012, such that during each such year from 2005 until 2012 we will be obligated to pay approximately $6 million.

ALBAHEALTH CREDIT AGREEMENT

In connection with the formation of AlbaHealth, AlbaHealth entered into a credit agreement, dated September 6, 2002, with GE Capital, pursuant to which GE Capital provided AlbaHealth credit facility of up to $18 million. The AlbaHealth Credit Agreement provides for a term loan facility of up to $15 million, which was drawn down as a single borrowing upon the consummation of such agreement. The term loan facility amortizes in 20 consecutive quarterly installments, commencing on January 1, 2003 and ending on September 6, 2007, each in the amount of $750,000. In addition, the AlbaHealth Credit Agreement provides for a five-year revolving loan facility of up to $3.0 million. The proceeds from the term loan facility and the revolving loan facility were and are to be used, among other purposes, to repay amounts due to the bank lenders under the portion of the Alba Credit Agreement that was assigned by Alba to AlbaHealth and for working capital purposes.

SECURITY. The term loan facility and the revolving loan facility are secured by the following:

  • o a lien on all of its existing and after-acquired personal and real property of AlbaHealth, and
  • o a first priority security interest over all of the interests in AlbaHealth held by its members, including Alba, and any additional indebtedness arising in the future by AlbaHealth or any of its subsidiaries in favor of such members.

INTEREST RATE. Interest on the revolving credit facility and the term loan facility shall be paid, at the election of AlbaHealth, at one of the following rates:

  • o a floating rate equal to the higher of (i) a base rate quoted by 75% of the largest banks in the U.S. and (ii) the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points, in each case plus a margin per annum initially equal to 3.00%, subject to reduction up to 2.50% depending on a leverage ratio measured by the ratio of funded debt to annualized EBITDA; or
  • o the LIBOR rate plus a margin per annum initially equal to 4.50%,

subject to reduction up to 4.00% depending on the leverage ratio.

PREPAYMENT/REPAYMENT. The amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility and the term loan facility may be voluntary prepaid by AlbaHealth at any time, subject to certain limitations and payments of fees. In addition, the amounts outstanding under the credit facility must be repaid in amounts equal to:

65

  • o 50% of the excess cash flow (as defined in the agreement) for the preceding year, after the delivery of the annual reports of AlbaHealth with respect to each year, or, if the leverage ratio for such preceding year is less then 100%, 25% of the excess cash flow for such preceding year;
  • o 75% of the net cash proceeds from issuance of interests in of AlbaHealth;
  • o net cash proceeds from the sale of any interests AlbaHealth holds in any of its subsidiaries; and
  • o net cash proceeds from certain asset disposals by AlbaHealth.

COVENANTS. Under the terms of the AlbaHealth Credit Agreement, AlbaHealth and its subsidiaries are restricted from, among other things:

FINANCIAL COVENANTS. The AlbaHealth credit agreement requires AlbaHealth to comply with certain financial covenants, including with respect to (i) maximum permitted capital expenditures for each; (ii) minimum annual fixed charge coverage ratio; (iii) minimum annual EBITDA; and (iv) maximum leverage ratio. During 2004, AlbaHealth failed to comply with certain financial covenants contained in the credit agreement, including a minimum EBITDA requirement, and pursuant to the First Amendment and Waiver to Credit Agreement, GE Capital agreed to waive certain financial covenant defaults that occurred during 2004 and to amend certain of the financial covenants.

EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The AlbaHealth Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including the failure to pay amounts thereunder, breach of other obligations, any representation and warranty being incorrect or misleading in any respect, cross-defaults, certain insolvency events or ceasing to carry on business, change of control of AlbaHealth or any of its subsidiaries, breach of the contribution agreement and other related agreements, and any default in the

observance or breach of any covenants.

10D. EXCHANGE CONTROLS

Nonresidents of Israel who purchase our Ordinary Shares with US dollars or other foreign currency will be able to convert dividends (if any) thereon, and any amounts payable upon the dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the affairs of the company, as well as the proceeds of any sale in Israel of the Ordinary Shares to an Israeli resident, into freely repatriatable dollars, at a rate of exchange prevailing at the time of conversion, pursuant to regulations, provided that the Israeli income tax has been withheld with respect to such amounts, to the extent applicable, or an exemption has been obtained.

10E. TAXATION

The following is a discussion of the material United States federal and Israeli income tax consequences to Qualified Holders holding Ordinary Shares. This discussion is based upon existing United States federal and Israeli income tax law, including legislation, regulations, administrative rulings and court decisions, as in effect on the date of this Annual Report, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. For purposes of this discussion, in general, a "Qualified Holder" means a beneficial owner of Ordinary Shares that is a resident of the United States for purposes of the United States-Israel income tax treaty, or the Income Tax Treaty, whose holding of Ordinary Shares is not related in any way to properties or activities located in Israel and who is not subject to any limitation on benefits restrictions under the Income Tax Treaty. This discussion assumes that the Qualified Holder holds Ordinary Shares as a capital asset. This discussion does not address all aspects of United States federal and Israeli income taxation that may be relevant to all Qualified Holders in light of their particular circumstances, including for example Qualified Holders who hold or at any time have held 10 percent or more of our voting power, Qualified Holders whose stock was acquired pursuant to the exercise of an employee stock option or otherwise as compensation or Qualified Holders who are subject to special treatment under United States federal income tax laws (for example, financial institutions, insurance companies, tax-exempt organizations and broker-dealers). This discussion also does not address any aspects of state, local or non-United States (other than certain Israeli) tax law.

EACH QUALIFIED HOLDER IS STRONGLY URGED TO CONSULT HIS OR HER TAX ADVISOR AS TO THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL AND ISRAELI INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF HOLDING ORDINARY SHARES, INCLUDING THE PARTICULAR FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES THAT MAY BE UNIQUE TO SUCH QUALIFIED HOLDER, AND AS TO ANY OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES OF HOLDING ORDINARY SHARES.

CAPITAL GAINS

Israeli law imposes a capital gains tax on the sale of capital assets. Under current Israeli law, capital gains resulting from sales of our Ordinary Shares are generally taxed at a rate of 15%. However, while final clarifying regulations have not yet been issued, a Qualified Holder will be exempted from Israeli capital gains tax on the sale of our Ordinary Shares, as long as those Ordinary Shares are traded in a recognize exchange. In addition, under the Income Tax Treaty, a Qualified Holder who hold in the aggregate less then 10% of our Ordinary Shares (subject to certain conditions), will be exempt from Israeli capital gains tax.

Upon a sale or other disposition of Ordinary Shares, a Qualified Holder will recognize capital gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes equal to the difference between the amount realized and the Qualified Holder's adjusted tax basis in the Ordinary Shares. In the case of an individual Qualified Holder of Ordinary Shares, any such capital gain will be subject to a maximum United States federal income tax rate of 20%, if the individual Qualified Holder's holding period in the Ordinary Shares is more than 12 months.

DIVIDENDS

On distributions of dividends other than bonus shares (stock dividends), for individuals, Israeli income tax at the rate of 25% (15% for dividends generated directly or indirectly by an Approved Enterprise) is withheld at source, unless a different rate is provided in a treaty between Israel and the shareholder's country of residence. The Income Tax Treaty provides no relief in this regard. There is no tax on distribution of dividends to an Israeli corporate shareholder.

67

Qualified Holders are generally subject to United States federal income tax on dividends paid by Israeli corporations. Subject to applicable limitations of United States federal income tax law, Qualified Holders may be able to claim a foreign tax credit for certain Israeli income taxes paid.

UNITED STATES INFORMATION REPORTING AND BACKUP WITHHOLDING

Dividends on Ordinary Shares, and payments of the proceeds of a sale of Ordinary Shares paid within the United States or through certain U.S.-related financial intermediaries, are subject to information reporting and may be subject to backup withholding at a 31% rate unless the Qualified Holder (1) is a corporation or other exempt recipient or (2) provides a taxpayer identification number and certifies that no loss of exemption from backup withholding has occurred.

10H. DOCUMENTS ON DISPLAY

We are currently subject to the information and periodic reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Our SEC filings are available for inspection and copying at the public reference facilities maintained by the Commission in Room 1024, 450 Fifth Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20549, and the Commission's regional offices located in New York, New York and Chicago, Illinois. Please call the Commission at 1-800-SEC-0330 for further information on the public reference rooms.

As a foreign private issuer, we are exempt from the rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, prescribing the furnishing and content of proxy statements to shareholders.

ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK

Our operating expenses are influenced by changes in the exchange rates between the dollar and foreign currencies, especially the NIS. Our operational expenses increase when the dollar is devalued against such currencies. At December 31, 2004, our liabilities denominated in foreign currencies in the amount of $20.7 million represented 14.3% of our total liabilities of $144.8 million. At December 31, 2004, our assets denominated in foreign currencies in the amount of $8.5million represented 4.4% of our total assets of $191.5 million. We may from time to time utilize derivative financial instruments to

manage risk exposure to movements in foreign exchange rates. Accordingly, in 2002, a forward exchange contract was designated as hedging instrument. We do not engage in any speculative or profit motivated forward or derivatives activities. See "Item 3. Key Information - 3D. Risk Factors" and "Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects - Impact of Inflation and Currency Fluctuations.

INTEREST RATE RISK

Of our dollar-denominated financial liabilities at December 31, 2004, $78.5 million were loans denominated in or linked to the dollar bearing interest at LIBOR. As a result, our interest expenses are sensitive to changes in LIBOR.

Our dollar-denominated or dollar-linked financial liabilities bear interest at 1.25% to 4.5% over LIBOR. A hypothetical ten percent shift in interest rates would result in a decrease (or increase) in net income of approximately $0.4 million.

("the Company") and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004. 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.

We did not audit the financial statements of Alba Health LLC ("Alba Health") a subsidiary, whose statements constitute 23.4% and 23.9% of total consolidated assets as of December 31, 2003 and 2004, respectively and whose revenues constitute 6.5%, 23.5% and 18.7% of total consolidated revenues for the period from September 6, 2002 to December 31, 2002 and for the two years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004, respectively. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to amounts included for Alba Health, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors.

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. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company's 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 and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the report of the other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003 and 2004, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with U.S generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


U.S. DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS

NOTE 1:- GENERAL

a. Tefron Ltd, a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel ("the Company") and its subsidiaries are engaged in the design, manufacture and sale of knitted intimate apparel, swimwear and active wear, which are manufactured using two different techniques (seamless and cut and sew) and products for the health care industry (see also Note 15). The Company's principal market is the United States.

The Company's significant subsidiaries are Hi-Tex, founded by the Company ("Hi-Tex"), which commenced operations in 1997, Alba-Waldensian, Inc. ("Alba"), which was purchased in December 1999, and Macro Clothing Ltd. ("Macro") which was purchased in April 2003.

b. Acquisition of Macro Clothing Ltd. ("Macro"):

In April 2003, the Company agreed to acquire 100% of the outstanding Ordinary shares of Macro from Macpell Industries Ltd. ("Macpell"). The closing date of the agreement was May 5, 2003. Macro manufactures, markets and sells swimsuits and beachwear. The purchase has diversified the Company's line of products. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Company assumed certain guarantees to the bank granted by Macpell in favor of Macro in the aggregate amount of approximately $ 530 and Macpell paid the Company $ 300 to assume the aforementioned guarantees. As a result, the Company recorded goodwill in the amount of $ 122. In addition, Macpell assigned to the Company its rights to a loan granted to Macro in the amount of approximately $ 522. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, contingent cash payments of $ 367 were accrued or paid in 2004 since certain financial performance criteria were met. As a result, the Company recorded an additional consideration which increased the purchase price. Since the realized pre-acquisition tax carryforward losses exceeded the total purchase price, including the total contingent consideration, the additional consideration and the initial goodwill allocated in 2003 were recorded as income tax expenses.

The acquisition has been treated using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with SFAS No. 141 "Business Combination". The purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and to the assumed liabilities based on their estimated fair value at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired has been recorded as goodwill.

The operating results of Macro were consolidated for reasons of convenience effective April 1, 2003. The operating results for the period prior to the acquisition (from April 1, 2003 through May 5, 2003), amounting to an income of $ 85, were deducted from the Company's consolidated results of operations. Pro forma information was not provided due to immateriality.

NOTE 1:- GENERAL (CONT.)

c. On September 6, 2002, the Health Products Division of Alba Waldensian, Inc. ("Alba"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tefron U.S. Holdings Corp. which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, formed a new entity with Encompass Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Encompass") and General Electric Capital Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("GE Capital"), to operate Alba's health products business through AlbaHealth, LLC, a newly formed Delaware limited liability company ("AlbaHealth"). In connection with the formation of AlbaHealth, Alba contributed substantially all of the assets of its health products division (together with associated liabilities, including certain existing bank indebtedness collateralized by such assets) to AlbaHealth in exchange for a 48.325% ownership interest in AlbaHealth. Both Encompass and GE Capital contributed cash to AlbaHealth in the amount of $ 12,000 and $ 1,000, in exchange for a 48.325% and 3.35% ownership interest in AlbaHealth, respectively. For a period of three years commencing September 6, 2004, Alba and GE Capital each have an option to sell all, but not less than all, of their interest in AlbaHealth to Alba Health, in exchange for its fair value, which will be determined based on a formula set forth in the agreement.

The Company has control over the financial and operating policies of AlbaHealth through its rights to appoint the majority of AlbaHealth's directors. Therefore, the Company consolidates AlbaHealth's financial statements.

d. On December 4, 2002, the Company announced that in the first quarter of 2003 the manufacturing of products from Alba located in Valdese, North Carolina ("Alba Consumer") to its facility in Israel. Marketing and distribution will remain in the U.S. The Company completed the restructuring plan during 2003.

In connection with the aforementioned and in accordance with EITF Issue 94-3, "Liability Recognition of Certain Employee Termination

Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity" and SAB-100, "Restructuring and Impairment Charges", the Company recorded in the fourth quarter of 2002 restructuring charges of $ 5,343.

The major components of the fiscal 2002 restructuring charges were as follows:

YEAR ENDED
DECEMBER 31,
2002
------
Write-down of long-lived assets $2,621
Inventory mark-down 1,550
Employee termination and severance costs 1,172

$5,343 ======

The cash and the non-cash elements of the expenses of the restructuring plan amounted to approximately $ 1,200 and $ 4,100, respectively. As a result of the restructuring, 250 positions were eliminated in Alba. The liability in respect of the employee termination and severance costs as of December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004 amounted to $ 1,172, $ 214 and none, respectively. The change in the aforementioned liability during 2003 resulted from payment of severance pay to the terminated employees.

NOTE 1:- GENERAL (CONT.)

e. During 2002, 2003 and 2004, 63.9%, 58.2% and 60.7% respectively, were derived from the three largest customers all located in the United States. The Company's arrangements with its customers do not contain minimum purchase requirements and there can be no assurance that the principal customers will continue to purchase the Company's products in the same volumes or on the same terms as they have done in the past. A material decrease of purchases made by the major customers or a material adverse change in the terms of such purchases could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations.

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the financial statements, applied on a consistent basis, are:

a. Use of estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

b. Financial statements in U.S. dollars:

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in U.S. dollars, as the currency of the primary economic environment in which the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries are conducted is the U.S. dollar. The majority of sales is made in U.S. dollars, and a significant portion of purchases of materials and property, plant and equipment is in denominated U.S. dollars. Thus, the functional and the reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar.

Accordingly, monetary accounts maintained in currencies other than the dollar are remeasured into U.S. dollars in accordance with Statement No. 52 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") "Foreign Currency Translation". All transactions gains and losses from the remeasurement of monetary balance sheet items are reflected in the statements of operations as financial income or expenses as appropriate.

c. Principles of consolidation:

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and those of AlbaHealth (see Note 1c). Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

d. Cash equivalents:

Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash with maturities of three months or less at the date acquired.

e. Inventories:

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Inventory write-offs are provided to cover risks arising from slow-moving items, discontinued products, and items with a market price that is lower than cost. Cost is determined as follows:

Raw materials, accessories and packaging materials - using the "moving average cost" method.

Work-in-progress and finished products - using standard costs which are adjusted to actual costs.

f. Property, plant and equipment, net:

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and investment grants. Investment grants are recorded at the time the Company is entitled to such grants. Depreciation is calculated by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets at the following annual rates:

%
-------
Buildings 2.5
Machinery and equipment 7
Installations and leasehold improvements 5 - 10
Motor vehicles 15
Furniture and office equipment 6 - 25

Leasehold improvements are amortized over the term of the lease, including reasonably assured renewal options, or the useful lives of the assets, whichever is shorter. The Company's long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" 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 the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. The Company recorded impairment losses of $ 771 for the year ended December 31, 2004.

g. Goodwill:

Goodwill is measured as the excess of the cost of an acquired company over the sum of the amounts assigned to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather reviewed for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142.

U.S. DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)


SFAS No.142 requires goodwill to be tested for impairment on adoption and at least annually thereafter or between annual tests in certain circumstances, and written down when impaired, rather than being amortized as previous accounting standards required. Goodwill attributable o each of the reporting units is tested for impairment by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying value. The Company performed annual impairment test during 2003 and 2004 and no impairment losses have been identified.

h. Investments in affiliated companies:

Affiliated companies are companies in which the Company is able to exercise significant influence over their operating and financial policies. The investments in affiliated companies are accounted for by the equity method. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired has been attributed to goodwill. Income from intercompany sales, not realized outside the Group, is eliminated.

The Company's investments in these companies is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investments may not be recoverable, in accordance with Accounting Principle Board Opinion No. 18, "The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock" ("APB No. 18"). During 2004, based on management's most recent analyses, impairment losses have been recorded in the amount of $ 296 which reduced the investments to zero.

i. Severance pay:

The Company's liability for severance pay in Israel is calculated

pursuant to Israel's Severance Pay Law based on the most recent salary of the employees multiplied by the number of years of employment as of the balance sheet date. Employees are entitled to one month's salary for each year of employment or a portion thereof. The Company's liability for all of its Israeli employees, is fully provided by monthly deposits with insurance policies, pension and severance pay funds and by an accrual. The value of the severance pay funds is recorded as an asset in the Company's balance sheet. The deposited funds include profits accumulated up to the balance sheet date. The deposited funds may be withdrawn only upon the fulfillment of the obligation pursuant to Israel's Severance Pay Law or labor agreements. The value of the deposited funds is based on the cash surrendered value of these funds. Severance pay expenses amounted to $ 1,285, $ 357 and $ 1,035 for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively (in 2002, includes $ 1,172, which was recorded as restructuring charges).

j. Revenue recognition:

Revenues from sales are recognized in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements", ("SAB No. 104"), when delivery has occurred, persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, the vendor's fee is fixed or determinable, no further obligation exists and collectibility is probable.

The Company's subsidiary maintains a provision for product returns, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 48, "Revenue Recognition When A Right Of Return Exists". The provision for products returns amounted to $ 634, $ 550 and $ 122 for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively.

k. Income taxes:

The Company and its subsidiaries account for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". This Statement prescribes the use of the liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liability account balances are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company and its subsidiaries provide a valuation allowance, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to their estimated realizable value.

l. Stock-based compensation:

The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25") and FASB Interpretation No.44 "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation" ("FIN 44") in accounting for its employee stock option plans. Under APB 25, when the exercise price of the Company's share options is higher than or equal to the market price of the underlying shares on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized.

In 2002, the FASB issued FAS 148 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123" ("SFAS 148"). SFAS 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. The Company

continues to apply the provisions of APB 25 in accounting for share based compensation. Had compensation cost been determined under the alternative fair value accounting method provided for under SFAS No. 123, the Company's loss and loss per share would have been increased to the following pro forma amounts:

Expected dividend yield 0% 0% 0%
Expected volatility 94.5% 94.2% 36%

| | | | |m. Fair value of financial instruments:

The carrying amount reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, short-term credit and trade payables approximates their fair values due to the short-term maturities of such instruments. Values of long-term loans approximate their fair values due to the variable interest rates on these loans.

The fair values of capital lease obligations are estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current interest rates for leases of similar terms and maturities. The carrying amount of the capital lease obligations approximates their fair value since such obligations bear interest at a rate which approximates market rate.

n. Loss per share:

Basic net loss per share is computed based on the weighted average number of Ordinary shares outstanding during each year. Diluted net loss per share is computed based on the weighted average number of Ordinary shares outstanding during each year, plus dilutive potential Ordinary shares considered outstanding during the year, in accordance with Statement of Financial Standard No.128, "Earnings Per Share".

In all reported periods, no diluted loss per share was presented because the effect of all outstanding options was anti-dilutive (1,755,874, 1,817,323 and 2,422,805 outstanding options as of December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively).

o. Concentrations of credit risk:

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company and its

subsidiaries to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade receivables. Cash and cash equivalents are invested mainly in U.S. dollars with major banks in Israel. Accordingly, the Company's management believes that minimal credit risk exists with respect to cash and cash equivalents. Trade receivables are derived from sales to major customers located primarily in the U.S. The allowance for doubtful accounts comprises specific accounts the collectibility of which, based upon management's estimate, is doubtful. The doubtful account expenses for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, were $ 274, $ 27 and $ 16, respectively.

As of the balance sheet date there are no significant off-balance-sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, option contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements.

p. Impact of recently issued accounting standards:

In November 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 151, "Inventory Costs, an Amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4." ("SAFS 151"). SFAS 151 amends Accounting Research Bulletin ("ARB") No. 43, Chapter 4, to clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight handling costs and wasted materials (spoilage) should be recognized as current-period charges. In addition, SFAS 151 requires that the allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. SAFS 151 is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company does not expect that the adoption of SFAS 151 will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 153, "Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29" ("SFAS 153"). The guidance in APB Opinion No. 29, "Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions" ("APB 29"), is based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. APB 29 includes certain exceptions to that principle. SFAS 153 amends APB 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has a commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. SFAS 153 is effective for nonmonetary assets exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company does not expect that the adoption of SFAS 153 will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment" ("Statement 123(R)"), which is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("Statement 123"). Generally, the approach in Statement 123(R) is similar to the approach described in Statement 123. However, Statements 123 permitted, but not required, share-based payments to employees to be recognized based on their fair values while Statement 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees to be recognized based on their fair values. Statement 123(R) also revises, clarifies and expands guidance in several areas, including measuring fair value, classifying an award as equity or as a liability and attributing compensation cost to reporting periods. The new standard will be effective for the Company

in the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company expects that the adoption of Statement 123(R) will have a significant effect on its results of operations.

q. Reclassification:

Certain prior year amounts were reclassified to conform to current year financial statement presentation.

NOTE 3:- GOODWILL (CONT.)

On December 13, 1999, AWS Acquisition Corp. ("AWS"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tefron U.S. Holdings Corp. ("Holdings"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, completed its tender offer for 100% of the outstanding Common stock of a U.S. company, Alba-Waldensian Inc. ("Alba") which manufactures seamless apparel and specialty knitted health care products. AWS and Holdings were formed in connection with the purchase of Alba's stock and, immediately following the purchase, AWS was merged into Alba, as the surviving corporation. The acquisition, which was accounted for as a purchase, included the purchase of outstanding shares of Common stock of Alba at $ 18.50 per share that, in addition to acquisition costs of $ 3,273, resulted in a total purchase price of $ 63,418. The goodwill deriving from the acquisition amounted to $ 51,302.

On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS 142. Accordingly, the Company, based on a valuation by an independent expert, compared the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying amount. Based on the aforementioned valuation, the healthcare reporting unit's carrying amount exceeded its fair value and, as a result, the goodwill identified with that reporting unit, which had a carrying amount of $ 17,994, was written off under the provisions of SFAS No. 142. The transitional impairment loss was recognized as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle as of January 1, 2002, in the Company's statement of operations.

Accordingly, these buildings were measured at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. In respect of the above, the Company recorded a loss in the amount of $ 771, resulting from the adjustment of the carrying amount of the buildings to their fair value less costs to sell. In November 2004, three of the buildings was sold for consideration of $ 160. The impaired building was classified as held for sale and is presented in other accounts receivable in the amount of $ 255.

NOTE 7:- INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATED COMPANY

In June 2001, the Company acquired, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, 49.9% of JBA Production S.A. ("JBA"), a company operating in Madagascar and engaged in the manufacture of bras, in consideration of approximately $ 1,300. As part of the JBA acquisition, the Company invested approximately $ 200 for 50.1% ownership interest of a new marketing company, Tefrani SA, which was designated to be engaged in the marketing of most of JBA's products. The investment in Tefrani was accounted for by the equity method because its operations are immaterial.

During 2002, the Company recorded an impairment loss amounting to $ 780 in respect of its investment in JBA.

In 2004, due to disputes that arose between the Company and the other shareholders in Tefrani SA and JBA, the operations have been ceased and the Company decided to record impairment loss in the amount of $ 296 which reduced the investment in JBA to zero.

  • b. In accordance with the provisions of the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959, the Company and its subsidiaries in Israel received grants from the State of Israel in respect of investments in their plants (see Note 14). The conditions in the letters of approval extending the grants from the State of Israel primarily include the requirements that the investments be made according to the approved plan and that at least 30% of the investments be financed by outstanding share capital. Non-fulfillment of these conditions would require the refund of the grants linked to the Consumer Price Index in Israel from the date of receipt plus interest. To guarantee fulfillment of the conditions for receipt of the grants, the Company and its subsidiaries have recorded floating charges on all of their assets in favor of the State of Israel.
  • c. The facilities of the Company and most of its Israeli subsidiaries are located in buildings leased for various periods ending between 2005 and 2012. The Company has renewal options for additional periods.

The significant leases are with a related party, a company controlled by the principal shareholders, ending between 2008 and 2024 (including renewal options) at an annual rental of $ 2,823. 50% of the basic rental payments is linked to Israel's CPI and 50% is linked to the U.S. cost of living index. The remaining lease payments are in, or

NOTE 12:- SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

a. On April 22, 2004, the transactions pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement with a partnership controlled by FIMI Opportunity Fund ("Fimi") and pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement with Leber Partners, L.P., a limited partnership ("the Investor") were closed. Under the agreements, the Company issued 3.53 million and 1.07 million Ordinary shares of the Company to Fimi and the Investor, respectively, at a price per share of $ 4.25 and $ 4.65 ("the PPS"), respectively, for a total cash consideration of $ 15 million and $ 5 million, respectively. The proceeds received may be adjusted, as described below.

According to the agreements, in the event that the Company's earnings before income tax, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), excluding (i) the EBITDA of Alba Health LLC to the extent it exceeds zero, and (ii) any increase in the EBITDA of Alba Waldensian, Inc., as a result of the exercise of the Put Option for fiscal year 2004 ("the 2004 EBITDA"), is less than $ 23 million, then the PPS shall be adjusted as follows: (i) if the Company's 2004 EBITDA is equal to or lower than $ 16 million, then the PPS will be retroactively reduced by $ 0.75, and (ii) if the Company's 2004 EBITDA is higher than $ 16 million but lower than $ 23 million, the PPS will be retroactively reduced at an amount of less than $ 0.75, which will be calculated according to the formula set forth in the agreement (Adjusted PPS). If the Company's 2004 EBITDA is higher than $ 23 million, no adjustment will be made.

In the event that the adjusted PPS is not equal to the PPS, the Company, at its sole discretion, shall either (i) deliver Fimi and the Investor, within fourteen business days following the release of the 2004 financial statements, a number of additional ordinary shares that is equal to the difference between the number of purchased shares issued to Fimi and the Investor at the Closing date and the number of ordinary shares that would have been issued to Fimi and the Investor at the Closing date had the original PPS been equal to the adjusted PPS, or (ii) pay Fimi and the Investor, within ten business days following the release of the 2004 financial statements, a cash amount equal to the difference between the price per share and the adjusted

PPS per each share purchased by Fimi and the Investor.

The agreements include two instruments: shares and a conditional obligation that is freestanding of the shares and can be settled in shares at the Company's discretion. Therefore the conditional obligation is a liability and not equity since the value of the payout is based on the performance condition and not based on the shares. As a result, the conditional obligation should be measured at fair value on transaction date and on each balance sheet date. The difference between the initial values assigned to the liability component and the final payout was charged to statements of operations.

The conditional obligation was recorded at the inception of the agreement and as of December 31, 2004 in an amount of $ 3,304 and 3,454, respectively. The difference of $ 150 was recorded as financial expenses.

NOTE 14:- TAXES ON INCOME

a. Reduction in corporate tax rate:

On June 2004, the Israeli Parliament approved an amendment to the Income Tax Ordinance (No. 140 and Temporary Provision), which progressively reduces the regular corporate tax rate from 36% to 35% in 2004, to 34% in 2005 to 32% in 2006 and to a rate of 30% in 2007.

b. Applicable tax laws:

The Company and its subsidiaries in Israel are "industrial companies" in conformity with the Law for the Encouragement of Industry (Taxes) 1969. The principal benefits to which the companies are entitled under this Law are accelerated rates of depreciation, consolidated tax returns and a deduction for tax purposes, over a three year period, of costs incurred in issuance of shares.

c. Tax benefits under the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959 ("the Law"):

Certain production facilities in Israel have been granted the status

of "Approved Enterprise" under the Law, for several investment programs ("the Programs").

In accordance with the Law, the Company and certain subsidiaries in Israel received grants from the State of Israel in respect of investments in their plants. The conditions in the letters of approval extending the grants from the State of Israel primarily include the requirements that the investments be made according to the approved plan and that at least 30% of the investments be financed by outstanding share capital. In addition, income attributed to certain Programs is tax exempt for a period of two years and is subject to a reduced corporate tax rate of 10% - 25% for an additional period of five to eight years, based on the percentage of foreign investment in the Company.

The duration of tax benefits for each of the Programs is subject to limitations of the earlier of 12 years from commencement of investment, or 14 years from receipt of approval, as an "Approved Enterprise" under the Law.

Tax-exempt income attributable to the "Approved Enterprise" cannot be distributed to shareholders without subjecting the Company to taxes except upon complete liquidation of the Company. If such retained tax-exempt income is distributed in a manner other than upon the complete liquidation of the Company, it would be taxed at the reduced corporate tax rate applicable to such profits (between 10%-25%).

The entitlement to the above benefits is conditional upon the Company's fulfilling the conditions stipulated by the Law, regulations published there under and the certificates of approval for the specific investments in approved enterprises.

Should the Company and its subsidiaries in Israel fail to meet such requirements in the future, income attributable to its "Approved Enterprise" programs could be subject to the statutory Israeli regular corporate tax rate and the Company could be required to refund a portion of the tax benefits already received, with respect to such

programs. Income from sources other than the "Approved Enterprise" is subject to tax at regular Israeli corporate tax rate.

  • (1) The net change in the total valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004 is $ 2,693, $ 533 and $ 1,949, respectively.
  • (2) The deferred taxes are computed based on enacted tax rates expected to apply at the time of reversal (average rate of 22% for Israeli companies and 37% for a subsidiary located in the U.S.).
  • h. As of December 31, 2004, the Company's subsidiary in the U.S. had estimated aggregate available carryforward tax losses of approximately $ 35,000 to offset against future taxable profits, which expire between 2020 and 2023. A valuation allowance for an amount of $ 8,000 was recorded due to the uncertainty of the tax asset's future realization.

As of December 31, 2004 the Company and its Israeli subsidiaries had tax loss carryforward of approximately $ 17,000. Carryforward tax losses in Israel may be carryforward indefinitely and may be offset against future taxable income.

Mr. Yos Shiran, Chief Executive Officer commented, "We are pleased to report sales of $52.6 million for the quarter, significantly higher than sales for each of our previous three quarters and, in fact, higher than reported sales for any of our last 18 quarters. As anticipated, we returned to profitability in our first quarter, showing a significant improvement in our quarterly net income both year over year and as compared to the fourth quarter in 2004.


"We expect this trend of improving sales and profitability to continue as we further benefit from the strategic plan we put in place two and a half years ago. Our improved results are accompanied by a significant diversification in our product lines and a significant change in our customer base which is comprised of fewer customers who suit our strategy. In the first quarter of 2005, our activewear and swimwear sales accounted for approximately 38% of our quarterly sales compared to about 17% in the equivalent quarter last year and for the full year of 2004. Also, Nike who is now our second largest customer accounted for 24% of our quarterly sales, further strengthening our customer base. Performance apparel segment is expected to grow significantly and we believe we are well positioned to enjoy the benefits of this expected growth with our EFP(TM) (Engineered for performance) concept. This growing potential will be well demonstrated in the "Nike Pro Vent" apparel program, Reebok's coming launch for the NFL equipment line and Patagonia's Capilene line.

"As we have reported in the past few quarters, the increase in demand for new product lines has been strong for a while. However, growth in actual sales was not realized due to production inefficiencies. During the first quarter in 2005, efficiency in our HiTex division began to improve and as a result we were able to increase sales. There is still room for further operational improvement and we believe this improvement will help us to continue our growth in sales and profitability for the balance of the year."

Mr. Shiran continued, "Looking forward, we expect a seasonal decrease of swimwear sales in the second quarter, which will be partially offset by a further increase in seamless production and sales. We do not expect our second quarter's profitability to be less than our first quarter's. We intend to

continue shifting our sewing capacity to our offshore sites which reached about 80% of our Cut & Sew and 25% of HiTex production in the first quarter of this year. During the course of the year, we expect to offset the continuing price erosion and the decline in sales of some old Cut & Sew products by moving their full production processes to offshore locations. Further improvement of production efficiency will support increased sales and profitability in the second half of the year."

Mr. Arie Wolfson, Chairman of the Board, stated: "I am very pleased with the results for the quarter and with our prospects for the future. The first quarter was the beginning of the realization of the strategic turnaround program put forward by our management team two and a half years ago and the

hard work and dedication of our entire team in executing the plan despite all of the difficulties. As Yos said, there is still room for further improvement and I believe that our team will achieve it."

Mr. Wolfson concluded: "This is a time to thank both our team headed by Mr. Shiran for their successful efforts and our investors who have patiently supported us. I look forward to sharing with you more good news in the future."

"I would also like to thank Mr. Gil Rozen, our CFO, who is leaving the company after three and a half years for having played an important role in our turnaround. At the same time, I would like to welcome Mr. Asaf Alperovitz, our new CFO, and wish him the best of luck together with us".

RECORD DATE; OUTSTANDING VOTING SECURITIES; VOTING RIGHTS

Only shareholders of record at the close of business on May 20, 2005 will be entitled to receive notice of, and vote at, the Meeting and any adjustments or postponements thereof. As of May 20, 2005, 17,936,453 Ordinary Shares were issued, outstanding and eligible to vote at the Meeting. This number does not take into account 997,400 ordinary shares held by a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, which are considered part of the equity of the Company, but are not eligible to be voted at the Meeting (the "Equity Shares"). At the Meeting, each shareholder of record will be entitled to one vote for each Ordinary Share held by him in respect of each matter to be voted upon.

The presence, in person or by proxy, of at least two persons entitled to vote upon the business to be transacted at the Meeting, and holding or representing in the aggregate more than 25% of the voting power of the Company, is necessary to constitute a quorum at the Meeting. On all matters considered at the Meeting, abstentions and broker non-votes will be treated as neither a vote "for" nor "against" the matter, although they will be counted in determining whether a quorum is present.

The Company will bear the cost of soliciting proxies. Solicitation of proxies will be primarily by mail, but proxies may also be solicited by directors, officers, and employees of the Company (who will not be specifically compensated for such services) by telephone or otherwise. Brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries which forward proxies and proxy

materials to beneficial owners of Ordinary Shares will be reimbursed for their expenses by the Company for doing so.

MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS

The following table sets forth the number of the Company's Ordinary Shares owned by any person known to the Company to be the beneficial owner of 5% or more of the Company's Ordinary Shares as of May 20, 2005. The information in this table is based on 17,936,453 Ordinary Shares outstanding as of such date but does not take into account the Equity Shares referred to above. The number of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by a person includes Ordinary Shares subject to options held by that person that were currently exercisable at, or exercisable within 60 days of, May 20, 2005. The Ordinary Shares issuable under these options are treated as if they were outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of the person holding these options but are not treated as if they were outstanding for the purposes of computing the percentage ownership outstanding for any other person. None of the holders of the Ordinary Shares listed in this table have voting rights different from other holders of the Ordinary Shares.

Mr. Yos Shiran, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are pleased to report year over year growth in both sales and net income for the second quarter and first six months of 2005. We were also happy to report a significant rise in our income from operations, operating cash flow and EBITDA for the quarter and six months.

2

As anticipated, our decrease in sales compared to the first quarter of this year is mainly attributed to lower sales in swimwear due to seasonality."

"The strength of our product line diversification was further established during the quarter. In the second quarter, active wear and swimwear represent 38.2% of our sales, up from approximately 16.4% last year. For the first six months of 2005, active wear and swimwear represented 38.2% of sales, up from approximately 16.6% of sales for the first six months of 2005. As mentioned last quarter, our customer base also changed significantly and it is now comprised of fewer leading customers that reflect our targeted product line diversification.

Last quarter's trend of improving profitability has continued as our Sports Innovation Division generated growth and boosted sales for the Company. Tefron EFP(TM) (ENGINEERED FOR PERFORMANCE) technology has been a driving force in the active wear segment and is yielding positive results in terms of successful product launches and fruitful business relationships with key partners".

Mr. Shiran, added, "In the second quarter we continued to experience operational improvement in our HiTex division. This improvement is expected to increase sales and profitability for the second half of the year, which will be mainly realized in the forth quarter.

"During the quarter we continued shifting our sewing capacity offshore for both our HiTex and Cut & Sew divisions. Our Cut & Sew offshore capacity now accounts for approximately 90% of overall Cut & Sew sewing production. We expect this will further improve our profitability in the second half of the year".

Mr Shiran, concluded, "We are enthusiastic about the growth we are experiencing in sales and profitability, as we benefit from the diversification of our product line, improved performance and focus on our customers' needs. We believe that Tefron's future is promising and we remain focused on increasing our sales

and profitability".

On another note, the Company is considering registration of its shares also in the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE). The Company believes that dual listing will increase the trading volume of its shares and allow more flexibility to its investors in terms of trading days and trading hours.

Tefron manufactures boutique-quality everyday seamless intimate apparel, active wear and swim wear sold throughout the world by such name-brand marketers as Victoria's Secret, Nike, The Gap, Banana Republic, Target, Warnaco/Calvin Klein, Patagonia, Reebok and El Corte Englese, as well as other well known retailers and designer labels. The company's product line includes knitted briefs, bras, tank tops, boxers, leggings, crop, T-shirts, nightwear, bodysuits, swim wear, beach wear and active-wear. The Company's Healthcare Division manufactures and sells a range of textile healthcare products.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Tefron Ltd. manufactures intimate apparel, active wear and swim wear sold throughout the world by such name-brand marketers as Victoria's Secret, Nike, Target, Warnaco/Calvin Klein, The Gap, Banana Republic, Mervyn's, Patagonia Adidas and Reebok, and other well known American retailers and designer labels. Through the utilization of manufacturing technologies and techniques developed or refined by us, we are able to mass-produce quality garments featuring unique designs tailored to our customers' individual specifications at competitive prices. Our product line includes knitted briefs, bras, tank tops, boxers, leggings, crop, T-shirts, nightwear, bodysuits, swim wear, beach wear and active-wear. Our Healthcare Division manufactures and sells a range of textile healthcare products.

We are known for the technological innovation of our Hi-Tex manufacturing process. Our Hi-Tex manufacturing process was implemented as part of our strategy to streamline our manufacturing process and improve the design and quality of our products. The Hi-Tex manufacturing process includes the utilization of a single machine that transforms yarn directly into a nearly complete garment, replacing the knitting, cutting, and significant sewing functions which, in traditional manufacturing, are performed sequentially on

separate machines at separate workstations. Following this single-machine operation, all the Hi-Tex manufacturing process requires to complete the garment is dyeing and a reduced amount of sewing and finishing. Our Hi-Tex manufacturing process enables us to produce a substantially wider range of fabrics, styles and product lines, resulting in a consistently high level of comfort, quality and durability.

The financial information below reflects the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2005


SALES

Sales for the second quarter ended June 30, 2005 increased by 9.1% to $49.8 million, compared to sales of $45.6 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2004. This increase in sales was primarily due to an increase in sales of our active wear products which was partially offset by a decrease in our intimate apparel products.

COST OF SALES

Cost of sales consists primarily of materials, certain salaries and related expenses, subcontracting expenses and other overhead expenses related to our manufacturing operations. Cost of sales increased by 9.0% to $41.4 million in the second quarter of 2005 as compared to $38.0 million in the equivalent period of 2004. This increase in cost of sales was primarily due to the increase in sales.

As a percentage of sales, cost of sales in the second quarter of 2005 decreased to 83.2% as compared to 83.3% in the second quarter of 2004.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of costs relating to salaries to employees engaged in sales, marketing, administration and management activities, freight and other administrative costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by 11.1% to $4.9 million in the second quarter of 2005 as compared to $5.5 million in the equivalent period of 2004 due to improved delivery to our customers and to a decrease in amortization of deferred stock compensation.

As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 9.9% in the second quarter of 2005 as compared to 12.1% in the second quarter of 2004. This decrease was mainly attributed to a reduction of air freight expenses due to improved delivery to our customers and to a decrease in amortization of deferred stock compensation.

FINANCING EXPENSES, NET

Financing expenses, net, decreased to $0.9 million in the second quarter of 2005 as compared to $1.3 million in the equivalent period of 2004. This decrease in financing expenses was primarily due to the strengthening of the USD as compared to the NIS and the EUR.

INCOME TAXES

Tax expense for the second quarter of 2005 was $0.7 million as compared to $0.3 million for the second quarter of 2004. This increase is a result of an increase in pretax profit which was $2.6 million for the second quarter of 2005 compared to $0.8 million for the second quarter of 2004.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the second quarter of 2005, the company generated $6.9 million of cash flow from operations compared to $2.9 million during the second quarter of 2004. This cash flow was used to repay $3.7 million in bank debt, invest $1.7 million in machinery and equipment, net of grants received, and together with other cash flow activities increased the cash and cash equivalents balance by $1.3 million from $4.9 million at March 31, 2005 to $ 6.2 million at June 30, 2005.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2005


SALES

Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2005 increased by 8.4% to $102.4 million, compared to sales of $94.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. This increase in sales was primarily due to an increase in sales of our active wear products and of our swimwear products which was partially offset by a decrease in our intimate apparel products.

COST OF SALES

Cost of sales consists primarily of materials, certain salaries and related expenses, subcontracting expenses and other overhead expenses related to our manufacturing operations. Cost of sales increased by 7.6% to $85.7 million in the first half of 2005 as compared to $79.6 million in the equivalent period of 2004. This increase in cost of sales was primarily due to the increase in sales.

As a percentage of sales, cost of sales in the first half of 2005 decreased to 83.7% as compared to 84.3% in the first half of 2004. This improvement was mainly due to increased efficiency in our Hi-Tex division.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of costs relating to salaries to employees engaged in sales, marketing, administration and management activities, freight and other administrative costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by 6.6% to $10.0 million in the first half of 2005 as compared to $10.7 million in the equivalent

period of 2004 due to improved delivery to our customers and to a decrease in amortization of deferred stock compensation.

As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 9.8% in the second quarter of 2005 as compared to 11.4% in the first half of 2004. This decrease was mainly attributed to a reduction of air freight expenses due to improved delivery to our customers and to a decrease in amortization of deferred stock compensation.

FINANCING EXPENSES, NET

Financing expenses, net, were $1.7 million in the first half of 2005, which were at the same level as in the equivalent period of 2004. The finance income increase in the first half of 2005 as a result of the strengthening of the USD as compared to the NIS and EUR was offset by an increase in interest expenses on our long term bank loans due to the refinancing we performed and the increase in the LIBOR.

INCOME TAXES

Tax expense for the first half of 2005 was $1.4 million compared to $1.2 million for the first half of 2004. The main reason for this increase is the increase in pretax profit which was $5.0 million for the second quarter of 2005 compared to $2.4 million for the second quarter of 2004. In addition, the reported tax rate for the first six months of 2004 was higher than the usual tax rate of the company primarily due to a one-time expense related to a reduction of a deferred tax asset in our US subsidiary Alba Waldensian, as a result of an adjustment of our expected utilization of tax losses in light of expected future earnings.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the first half of 2005, the company generated $12.0 million of cash flow from operations compared to $5.4 million during the first half of 2004.

This cash flow was used to repay $6.0 in bank debt, invest $3.2 million in machinery and equipment, net of grants received, and together with other cash flow activities increased the cash and cash equivalents balance by $2.7 million from $3.6 million at December 31, 2004 to $6.2 million at June 30, 2005.

THE SHARES

The Shares covered by this Prospectus are issuable by us pursuant to the

equity line credit facility between us and the selling shareholder entered into on March 9, 2004. We entered into this facility in order to expand the available resources available to us and to decrease our reliance on our existing bank credit facilities. In addition, we expect that by drawing on the equity line credit facility, we will improve our capitalization. We have no other relationship with the selling shareholder.

Under the equity line credit facility, we have an option to call funds of up to the lesser of $15 million or 19.9% of our outstanding share capital over the next three years. Under the financing facility, we will be entitled to issue shares to the selling shareholder from time to time, at our own election, subject to certain minimum and maximum limitations, but in no event will the selling shareholder be obligated to own more than 4.99% of our ordinary shares at any one time. The price to be paid by the selling shareholder will be at a discount of 6% to the market price of our ordinary shares (as calculated under the agreement) during a period prior to the issuance of the shares. The "market price" under the agreement is calculated to be the average of the lowest closing prices for any four trading days (not necessarily consecutive) during the ten trading day period immediately following the date on which we deliver a written notice to the selling shareholder setting forth the dollar amount with respect to which we will require the selling shareholder to purchase our ordinary shares.

Before drawing on the equity line, we must satisfy certain closing conditions, including the effectiveness of a registration statement that we must file relating to the shares to be issued to the selling shareholder. In addition, under our agreement with Norfet, Limited Partnership, we require the consent of Norfet for the issuance of shares under an equity line of credit if such issuance is at a price of less than $4.60 per share unless the issuance is required in order for us to satisfy covenants relating to shareholders equity under company loan agreements or to satisfy certain NYSE listing requirements. In addition, the issuance under the equity line of an aggregate sum of more than 12% of our issued capital will also require the consent of Norfet.

We expect that we will apply any proceeds from the equity line credit facility for investments in knitting, dyeing and sewing machines to expand our production capacity and for working capital to finance expansion of our

operations.

CORPORATE INFORMATION

Our principal executive offices are located at 28 Chida Street, Bnei-Brak 51371, Israel and our telephone number is 972-3-579-8701.

THE COMPANY

Tefron Ltd. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel on March 10, 1977. We are subject to the provisions of the Israeli Companies Law, 5759-1999.

We manufacture intimate apparel, active-wear and swimwear sold throughout the world by such name-brand marketers as Victoria's Secret, Target, Warnaco/Calvin Klein The Gap, Banana Republic, Nike, Mervin's and as well as other well known American retailers and designer labels. Through the utilization of manufacturing technologies and techniques developed or refined by us, we are able to mass-produce quality garments featuring unique designs tailored to our customers' individual specifications at competitive prices. Our product line includes knitted briefs, bras, tank tops, boxers, leggings, crop, T-shirts, nightwear, bodysuits, swim wear, beach wear and active-wear. Our Healthcare Division manufactures and sells a range of textile healthcare products. These products include: anti-embolism stockings and compression therapy systems, an intermittent pneumatic compression device; sterile wound dressings; and XX-Span(R) dressing retainers, an extensible net tubing designed to hold dressings in place without the use of adhesive tape.

We are known for the technological innovation of our Hi-Tex and cut-and-sew manufacturing process. Our Hi-Tex manufacturing process was implemented as part of our strategy to streamline our manufacturing process and improve the design and quality of our products. The Hi-Tex manufacturing process includes the utilization of a single machine that transforms yarn directly into a nearly complete garment, replacing the knitting, cutting, and significant sewing functions which, in traditional manufacturing, are performed sequentially on separate machines at separate workstations. Following this single-machine operation, all the Hi-Tex manufacturing process requires to complete the garment is dyeing and a reduced amount of sewing and finishing. Our Hi-Tex manufacturing process enables us to produce a substantially wider range of fabrics, styles and product lines, resulting in a consistently high level of comfort, quality and durability. Our fabric engineering, product design and the comfort of our products provide us with an opportunity to expand our sales of active-wear products.

We seek to develop strong relationships with large name-brand marketers of intimate apparel and active-wear and to become their principal supplier for those products we manufacture. We believe that customers are attracted by our manufacturing capabilities, which allow for consistently high-quality merchandise at competitive prices as well as for the capacity to accommodate rapid sales growth. We believe that our collaboration with our customers in the design and development of our products strengthens our relationships with our customers and improves the quality of our products. We began our relationship with Victoria's Secret in 1991, with Banana Republic and The Gap in 1993 and with Warnaco/Calvin Klein in 1994. In 2000, we began our relationship with Target, which was an existing customer of Alba. In 2003, these customers accounted for approximately 58.7% of our total sales.

Below is a summary of significant events in our development:

1990 First bodysize cotton panty with applicated elastics.

1997 Formation of Hi-Tex Founded by Tefron Ltd. and production of first
seamless
panty.
Initial public offering of our shares on the NYSE.
1998 Acquisition of a dyeing and finishing facility to achieve greater verticalintegration of our business.
1999 Acquisition of Alba, a manufacturer of seamless apparel and healthcare
products.
The main purpose of the acquisition of Alba was to acquire additional
production
capacity, a presence in the United States, direct store distribution capacity, a
broader customer base and incremental revenues.
2001 Initial significant shifting of sewing production to Jordan

amount of $20 million. In addition, entering into an equity credit line facility
providing Tefron with the option to call funds of up to an additional amount
equal to the lesser of $15 million or 19.9% of Tefron's ordinary share capital,
subject to limitations and the satisfaction of certain conditions.

We enjoy several strategic advantages by reason of our location in Israel, Jordan and Madagascar. Israel is one of the few countries in the world that has free trade agreements with the United States, Canada, the European Union, or EU, and the European Free Trade Association, or EFTA. These agreements permit us to sell our products in the United States, Canada and the member countries of the EU and the EFTA free of customs duties and import quotas. Due to our locations in Jordan and Madagascar we benefit from exemptions from customs duties and import quotas. We also currently benefit from substantial investment grants and tax incentives provided by the Government of Israel and from the availability in

Israel of both skilled engineers and relatively inexpensive unskilled workers.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our Ordinary Shares involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risk factors, in addition to the other information included and incorporated by reference in this prospectus, including the consolidated financial statements and notes, before you invest.

WE DEPEND ON A SMALL NUMBER OF PRINCIPAL CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE IN THE PAST

BOUGHT OUR PRODUCTS IN LARGE VOLUMES. WE CANNOT ASSURE THAT THESE CUSTOMERS

OR ANY OTHER CUSTOMER WILL CONTINUE TO BUY OUR PRODUCTS IN THE SAME VOLUMES

OR ON THE SAME TERMS.

Our sales to Victoria's Secret accounted for approximately 43% of our total sales in 2001, 49.8% of our total sales in 2002 and 38.2% of our total sales in 2003. Our sales to Target, Warnaco/Calvin Klein, Banana Republic and The Gap, and Cardinal Healthcare accounted in the aggregate for approximately 28.6% of our total sales in 2001, 26.3% of our total sales in 2002 and 31.4 % of our total sales in 2003. We do not have long-term purchase contracts with our customers, and our sales arrangements with our customers do not have minimum purchase requirements. We cannot assure that Victoria's Secret, Target, Warnaco/Calvin Klein, Banana Republic and The Gap, and Cardinal Healthcare or any other customer will continue to buy our products in the same volumes or on the same terms as they did in the past. Their failure to do so may significantly reduce our sales. In addition, we cannot assure that we will be able to attract

new customers. A material decrease in the quantity of sales made to our principal customers, a material adverse change in the terms of such sales or a material adverse change in the financial conditions of our principal customers could significantly reduce our sales.

OUR LARGEST CUSTOMER OWNS AN INTEREST IN COMPETING PRODUCTION FACILITIES.

WE CANNOT ASSURE THAT THIS CUSTOMER WILL CONTINUE TO BUY OUR PRODUCTS IN

THE SAME VOLUMES OR ON THE SAME TERMS.

In 2003, sales to Victoria's Secret totaled $62.2 million, or 38.2% of our sales that year, a decrease from the 2002 sales to Victoria's Secret of $94.7 million, or 49.8% of our sales for that year. Controlling or related entities of Victoria's Secret own an interest in production facilities that are in direct competition to our businesses. We cannot assure that Victoria's Secret will continue to buy our products in the same volumes or on the same terms as in earlier years.

OUR PRINCIPAL CUSTOMERS ARE IN THE CLOTHING RETAIL INDUSTRY, WHICH IS SUBJECT TO SUBSTANTIAL CYCLICAL VARIATIONS. OUR REVENUES WILL DECLINE SIGNIFICANTLY IF OUR PRINCIPAL CUSTOMERS DO NOT CONTINUE TO BUY OUR PRODUCTS IN LARGE VOLUMES DUE TO AN ECONOMIC DOWNTURN.

Our customers are in the clothing retail industry, which is subject to substantial cyclical variations and is affected strongly by any downturn in the general economy. A downturn in the general economy, a change in consumer purchasing habits or any other events or uncertainties that discourage consumers from spending, could have a significant effect on our customers' sales and profitability. Such downturns, changes, events or uncertainties could result in our customers having larger inventories of our products than expected. These events could result in decreased purchase orders from us in the future, which would significantly reduce our sales and profitability. For example, the difficult global economic environment and the continuing soft retail market conditions in the world and specifically in the U.S. both before and especially after the events of September 11, 2001 were reflected in disappointing clothing retail sales in the year 2001 compared to the same period in the year 2000, and

consequently decreased our order backlog and production levels. A prolonged economic downturn could harm our financial condition.

OUR EXPANSION INTO NEW PRODUCT LINES WITH MORE COMPLICATED PRODUCTS, AND

OUR MANUFACTURE OF PRODUCTS IN SHORTER PRODUCTION RUNS REDUCED OUR

OPERATING EFFICIENCY DURING 2003 AND MAY CONTINUE TO REDUCE OUR FUTURE

OPERATING EFFICIENCY.

9

During 2003, we invested significant efforts to develop and expand new product lines, including active-wear products, to diversify our product line and our client base. The manufacturing of new, more complicated products has reduced our operating efficiency, and may continue to do so.

In addition, in the past, we relied on selling our products in relatively long production runs to achieve the manufacturing and logistical efficiencies that enable us to maintain sales and profitability at relatively high levels and to price our products competitively. During 2003, due to our expansion into new product lines and due to changing market conditions, we began manufacturing our products in shorter production runs, which also reduced our operating efficiency, and may continue to do so.

Although we believe that our efficiency will improve as we continue to manufacture our new product lines, we cannot assure that we will be able to return to our previous efficiency levels in the future.

OUR EXPANSION INTO NEW PRODUCT LINES, IN PARTICULAR ACTIVE-WEAR BUSINESS

PRODUCTS, INVOLVES THE MANUFACTURE OF NEW PRODUCTS, WHICH HAS AND MAY

REQUIRE US TO PURCHASE ADDITIONAL MACHINERY ADAPTED TO MANUFACTURE SUCH

PRODUCTS. THE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL EXPENDITURES INCURRED IN CONNECTION WITH

THESE PURCHASES MAY REDUCE OUR FUTURE CASH FLOW.

During 2003, we invested significant efforts to develop and expand our new product lines, in particular active-wear products, to diversify our product line and our client base. Active-wear products that we manufacture are made in bigger sizes than intimate apparel, both because our active-wear products are intended for both men and women, and because our active-wear products involve the manufacture of more tops, we have purchased and may need to purchase additional knitting machines and other equipment adapted to manufacture our new products lines. In addition, the manufacture of active-wear products at times requires equipment with new technologies. The additional capital expenditures that may be incurred in connection with these purchases may reduce our future cash flow.

HOLDERS OF OUR ORDINARY SHARES ARE SUBJECT TO THE RISK OF ADDITIONAL AND

SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION TO THEIR INTERESTS AS A RESULT OF THE ISSUANCES OF ORDINARY SHARES IN CONNECTION WITH THE EQUITY LINE CREDIT FACILITY.

The following table describes the number of ordinary shares that would be issuable, assuming that the full amounts of the equity line credit facility had been put to the selling shareholder, and further assuming that the applicable put prices to the selling shareholder at the time of such put were the following amounts:

Hypothetical Conversion Price Shares issuable upon puts aggregating $15,000,000, up to a maximum of 2,470,021

$ 3.50 2,470,021
$ 4.00 2,470,021
$ 4.50 2,470,021
$ 5.00 2,470,021
$ 5.20 2,470,021
$ 5.50 2,470,021
$ 7.00 2,142,857
$ 8.00 1,875,000

10

If the market price of the ordinary shares decreases, the number of ordinary shares issuable in connection with the equity facility credit facility will increase and, accordingly, the aggregate dollar amount of draws under the equity facility credit facility will decrease. Despite our right to draw up to $15,000,000 under the equity facility credit facility, we may run out of shares given the maximum 2,470,021 ordinary shares that may be issued to the selling shareholder in connection with our draws under the equity line credit facility and are registered under this prospectus and the registration statement of which it is a part.

The following table demonstrates the correlation between share price decline and decreases in aggregate draw amounts available, given the maximum 2,471,021 ordinary shares that may be issued to the selling shareholder and are registered under this prospectus and the registration statement of which it is a part:

Hypothetical Put Price Shares issuable upon puts, up to aMaximum draws
available up to
maximum of 2,470,021 $15,000,000
$ 3.00 2,470,021 $ 7,410,063
$ 3.50 2,470,021 $ 8,645,073
$ 4.00 2,470,021 $ 9,880,084
$ 4.50 2,470,021 $11,115,094
$ 5.00 2,470,021 $12,350,105
$ 5.50 2,470,021 $13,585,115
$ 6.00 2,470,021 $14,820,126
$ 7.00 2,142,857 $14,999,999
$ 8.00 1,875,000 $15,000,000

Our issuances of shares under the equity line credit facility likely will result in overall dilution to market value and relative voting power of previously issued ordinary shares, which could result in substantial dilution to the value of shares held by shareholders prior to sales under this prospectus. Furthermore, public resales of our ordinary shares by the selling shareholder following the issuance of ordinary shares in connection with the equity line credit facility likely will depress the prevailing market price of our ordinary shares. Even prior to the time of puts and public resales, the market "overhang" resulting from the mere existence of the equity line credit facility could depress the market price of our ordinary shares.

EXISTING SHAREHOLDERS LIKELY WILL EXPERIENCE INCREASED DILUTION WITH DECREASES IN MARKET VALUE OF ORDINARY SHARES IN RELATION TO OUR ISSUANCES

OF SHARES UNDER THE EQUITY LINE CREDIT FACILITY, WHICH COULD REDUCE THE VALUE OF THEIR SHARES.

The formula for determining the number of ordinary shares to be issued

under the equity line credit facility is based, in part, on the market price of our ordinary shares and includes a discount from the market price equal to 94% of the average of the four lowest closing bid prices of our ordinary shares over the ten trading days after the put notice is tendered by us to the selling shareholder. As a result, the lower the market price of our ordinary shares at and around the time we put shares under the equity line credit facility, the more shares of our ordinary shares the selling shareholder receives, subject to a ceiling of 2,470,021 shares. Any increase in the number of ordinary shares issued upon puts of shares as a result of decreases in the prevailing market price would compound the risks of dilution described in the preceding paragraph.

11

There is an increased potential for short sales of our ordinary shares due to the sales of shares put to the selling shareholder in connection with the equity line credit facility, which could reduce the market price of our ordinary shares.

Downward pressure on the market price of our ordinary shares that likely will result from sales of our ordinary shares by the selling shareholder issued in connection with a put under the equity line credit facility could encourage short sales of ordinary shares by the selling shareholder. Significant amounts of such short selling could place further downward pressure on the market price of our ordinary shares.

The restrictions on the extent of puts may have little, if any, effect on our ability to issue shares under the equity line credit facility, and as such, the selling shareholder may sell a large number of shares, resulting in substantial dilution to the value of shares held by our existing shareholders.

We are prohibited from putting shares to the selling shareholder under the equity line credit facility if such put would result in that investor holding more than 4.99% of the then outstanding ordinary shares. These restrictions, however, do not prevent the selling shareholder from selling ordinary shares

received in connection with a put, and then receiving additional ordinary shares in connection with a subsequent put. In this way, the selling shareholder could sell more than 4.99% of the outstanding ordinary shares in a relatively short time frame while never holding more than 4.99% at one time.

SINCE MOST OF OUR REVENUES ARE GENERATED IN U.S. DOLLARS AND A LARGE PART

OF OUR EXPENSES ARE IN ISRAELI CURRENCY, WE ARE SUBJECT TO FLUCTUATIONS IN

INFLATION AND CURRENCY RATES.

Because most of our revenues in the foreseeable future are expected to continue to be generated in U.S. dollars and a significant portion of our expenses are expected to continue to be incurred in NIS, we are exposed to the risk of appreciation of the NIS vis-a-vis the U.S. dollar. This appreciation would cause an increase in our NIS expenses as recorded in our U.S. dollar denominated financial reports, even though the expenses denominated in NIS will remain unchanged. A portion of our NIS denominated expenses is linked to changes in the Israeli cost of living index, a portion is linked to increases in NIS payments under collective bargaining agreements and a portion is unlinked.

In addition, an increase in our expenses in NIS will not always be compensated for fully by a devaluation of NIS vis-a-vis the U.S. dollar. In 2001 and 2002, the rate of devaluation of the NIS vis-a-vis the dollar exceeded the inflation rate in Israel. During 2001 and 2002, the rate of inflation was 1.4% and 6.5%, respectively, while NIS devalued against the U.S. dollar by 9.3% and 7.3% in 2001 and 2002. During 2003, the rate of inflation was (1.9)%, while NIS appreciated against the U.S. dollar by 7.6%. However, to the extent in the future that the rate of inflation in Israel exceeds the rate of devaluation of the NIS in relation to the dollar or if the timing of such devaluation lags behind inflation in Israel, it could reduce our profitability.

WE REQUIRE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF CASH TO PAY OUR DEBT. IF WE FAIL TO GENERATE SUFFICIENT CASH FLOW FROM OPERATIONS, WE MAY NEED TO RENEGOTIATE

OR REFINANCE OUR DEBT, OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FINANCING OR POSTPONE CAPITAL EXPENDITURES.

We depend mainly on our cash generated by operating activities to make payments on our debts. In 2003, the cash generated by operating activities was approximately $2.9 million. We cannot assure that we will generate sufficient cash flow from operations to make the scheduled payments on our debt. We have repayment obligations on our long-term debt of approximately $11.7 million in 2004, $25.2 million in 2005, $20.1 million in 2006 and $11.5 million in 2007. These amounts do not include any repayment obligations under our short-term debt in the amount of approximately $31.8 million as of December 31, 2003. Our ability to meet our debt obligations will depend on whether we can successfully implement our strategy, as well as on economic, financial, competitive and technical factors. Some of the factors are beyond our control, such as economic conditions in the markets where we operate or intend to operate, changes in our customers' demand for our products, and pressure from existing and new competitors.

12

On April 22, 2004, we closed transactions with Norfet, Limited Partnership and with a group of investors represented by Mr. Zvi Limon who invested an aggregate of $20 million in cash in Tefron in exchange for the issuance of ordinary shares in Tefron. We used a majority of the proceeds from such investments to repay existing bank debt. In March 2004, we announced that we had entered into an equity credit line facility agreement under which we have an option to call funds of up to the lesser of $15 million or 19.9% of our outstanding share capital over the next three years, but in no event will the investor be obligated to own more than 4.99% of our ordinary shares at any one time, and subject to certain other limitations. The closing of each put under the equity credit line facility agreement is subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, and there is no assurance we will exercise any puts, or if exercised, that the putswill actually close.

Bank Hapoalim and Israel Discount Bank have agreed to extend the repayment schedule of the long term debt due to them commencing with the payments due for 2005, such that each year from 2005 until 2012 we would be obligated to pay approximately $7 million. These agreements from the banks are subject to negotiation of final documentation.

If we cannot generate sufficient cash flow from operations to make scheduled payments on our debt obligations, we may need to renegotiate the terms of our debt, refinance our debt, obtain additional financing, delay planned capital expenditures or sell assets. Our ability to renegotiate the terms of our debt, refinance our debt or obtain additional financing will depend on, among other things:

  • o our financial condition at the time;
  • o restrictions in agreements governing our debt; and
  • o other factors, including market conditions.

If our lenders decline to renegotiate the terms of our debt, the lenders could declare all amounts borrowed and all amounts due to them under the agreements due and payable. If we are unable to repay the debt, the lenders could foreclose on our assets that are subject to liens and sell our assets to satisfy the debt.

OUR DEBT OBLIGATIONS MAY HINDER OUR GROWTH AND PUT US AT A COMPETITIVE DISADVANTAGE.

We have a significant amount of bank debt mainly as a result of our acquisition of Alba in December 1999 and the investments made in our Hi-Tex Division. As of December 31, 2003, we had approximately $65.8 million of long term loans outstanding (including current maturities of $9.8 million). We also had approximately $2.7 million in long term capital lease obligations and other loans (including current maturities of $1.9 million) and approximately $31.8

million in short term bank credit.

Our substantial debt obligations could have important consequences. For example, they could:

o require us to use a substantial portion of our operating cash flow to pay interest, which reduces funds available to grow and expand our business, invest in machinery and equipment and for other purposes;

13

  • o place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt;
  • o make us more vulnerable to economic and industry downturns and reduce our flexibility in responding to changing business and economic conditions;
  • o limit our ability to pursue business opportunities; and
  • o limit our ability to borrow money for operations or capital in the future.

Because a significant portion of our loans bear interest at floating rates, an increase in interest rates could reduce our profitability. A ten percent interest rate change on our floating interest rate long-term loans outstanding at December 31, 2003, would have an annual impact of approximately $0.5 million on our interest cost.

DUE TO RESTRICTIONS IN OUR LOAN AGREEMENTS, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO OPERATE

OUR BUSINESS AS WE DESIRE.

Our loan agreements contain a number of conditions and limitations on the way in which we can operate our business, including limitations on our ability to raise debt, sell or acquire assets and pay dividends. Our loan agreements also contain various covenants which require that we maintain certain financial ratios related to shareholder's equity and operating results that are customary

for companies comparable in size. These limitations and covenants may force us to pursue less than optimal business strategies or forgo business arrangements which could have been financially advantageous to us or our shareholders.

Due to our incurrence in 2002 of expenses totaling approximately $26.4 million (mainly resulting from a non-cash goodwill adjustment of $18.8 million in compliance with SFAS 142; a capital loss of approximately $1.8 million associated with the sale of 52% of the Health Products Division of Alba; and restructuring costs of Alba of approximately $5.3 million), and a net loss for 2003 of approximately of $3.5 million, our shareholders equity as of December 31, 2003 was $36.7 million and our ratio of shareholders'equity to total assets was 18.1%. These figures were below the minimum level of approximately $67 million for shareholders' equity and the minimum percentage of 30% for our ratio of shareholders' equity to total assets required by the covenants under our credit facility with Bank Hapoalim B.M. and Israel Discount Bank of New York. Bank Hapoalim has agreed to amend the minimum shareholders' equity requirement to $36.5 million and the ratio of shareholders' equity to total assets to not less than 18% for the period from December 31, 2003 to March 31, 2004 (inclusive). Israeli Discount Bank has agreed to amend the minimum shareholders' equity requirement to $36.5 million and the ratio of shareholders equity to total assets to not less than 18% for the period from December 31, 2003 to March 31, 2004 (inclusive).

Bank Hapoalim and Israel Discount Bank have agreed to permanently amend our shareholders' equity requirement to not less than $40 million and our ratio of shareholders' equity to total assets to not less than 20% following our payment to the banks of a portion of the proceeds of the $15 million investment from Norfet, Limited Partnership.

Our failure to comply with the covenants and restrictions contained in our loan agreements could lead to a default under the terms of these agreements. If a default occurs and we are unable to renegotiate the terms of the debt, the lenders could declare all amounts borrowed and all amounts due to them under the agreements due and payable. If we are unable to repay the debt, the lenders could foreclose on our assets that are subject to liens and sell our assets to satisfy the debt.

OUR ANNUAL AND QUARTERLY OPERATING RESULTS MAY VARY WHICH MAY CAUSE THE

MARKET PRICE OF OUR ORDINARY SHARES TO DECLINE.

We may experience significant fluctuations in our annual and quarterly operating results which may be caused by, among other factors:

  • o the timing, size and composition of orders from customers;
  • o varying levels of market acceptance of our products;
  • o the timing of new product introductions by us, our customers or their competitors;
  • o economic conditions in the geographical areas in which we operate or sell products; and
  • o operating efficiencies.

When we establish a relationship with a new customer, initial sales to such customer are often in larger quantities of goods (to build its initial inventory) than may be required to replenish such inventory from time to time afterwards. As a result, after a customer builds its initial inventory, our sales to such customer may decrease. We cannot assure that our sales to any of our customers will continue at the current rate.

Our operations are affected by our principal customers' businesses, which businesses are subject to substantial cyclical variations. If demand for our products is significantly reduced, our profits will be reduced, and we may experience slower production, lower plant and equipment utilization and lower fixed operating cost absorption.

Additionally, if, in any year, there is a significant number of Christian, Druse, Jewish or Muslim holidays in a particular quarter, we will have fewer days of operation which will result in lower levels of production and sales during such quarter. In certain years, a significant number of such holidays have occurred during the second quarter, but the dates of many of those holidays are based on the lunar calendar and vary from year to year.

OUR MARKETS ARE HIGHLY COMPETITIVE AND SOME OF OUR COMPETITORS HAVE NUMEROUS ADVANTAGES OVER US; WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO COMPETE SUCCESSFULLY.

We compete directly with a number of manufacturers of intimate apparel and active-wear many of which have longer operating histories, larger customer bases, greater geographical proximity to customers and significantly greater financial and marketing resources than we do. Increased competition, direct or indirect, could reduce our revenues and profitability through pricing pressure, loss of market share and other factors. We cannot assure that we will be able to compete successfully against existing or new competitors, as the market for our products evolves and the level of competition increases. Moreover, our existing and prospective competitors, especially those from the Far East, have established, or may in the future establish, relationships with our existing and potential customers, which could have a materially affect on our ability to compete. In addition, we cannot assure that our customers will not seek to manufacture our products through alternative sources and thereby eliminate the need to purchase our products.

Our customers operate in an intensely competitive retail environment. In the event that any of our customers' sales decline for any reason, whether or not related to us or to our products, our sales to such customers could be materially reduced.

15

In addition, our competitors may be able to purchase seamless knitting

machines and other equipment similar to, but less expensive than, the Santoni knitting machines we use to knit garments in our Hi-Tex manufacturing process. By reducing their production cost, our competitors may lower their selling prices. If we are forced to reduce our prices and we cannot reduce our production costs, it will cause a reduction in our profitability. Furthermore, if there is a weak retail market or a downturn in the general economy, competitors may be pressured to sell their inventory at substantially depressed prices. A surplus of intimate apparel at significantly reduced prices in the marketplace would significantly reduce our sales.

WE ARE SUBJECT TO FLUCTUATING COSTS OF RAW MATERIALS.

We use cotton yarn, lycra, spandex, various polymeric yarn and elastic as primary materials for manufacturing our products. Our financial performance depends, to a substantial extent, on the cost and availability of these raw materials. The capacity, supply and demand for such raw materials are subject to cyclical and other market factors and may fluctuate significantly. As a result, our cost in securing raw materials is subject to substantial increases and decreases over which we have no control except by seeking to time our purchases of cotton and polymeric yarns, which are our principal raw material, to take advantage of favorable market conditions. For example, during 2003, the cost of cotton increased by 45-50% due to an increase in demand. We cannot assure that we will be able to pass on to customers the increased costs associated with the procurement of raw materials. Moreover, there has in the past been, and there may in the future be, a time lag between the incurrence of such increased costs and the transfer of such increases to customers. To the extent that increases in the cost of raw materials cannot be passed on to customers or there is a delay in passing on the increased costs to customers, we are likely to experience an increase in the cost of raw materials which may materially reduce our margin of profitability.

IF OUR ORDINARY SHARES ARE DELISTED FROM THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE, THE

LIQUIDITY AND PRICE OF OUR ORDINARY SHARES AND OUR ABILITY TO ISSUE ADDITIONAL SECURITIES MAY BE SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED.

In order to maintain the listing of our ordinary shares on The New York

Stock Exchange, or NYSE, we are required to meet specified maintenance standards. In addition, the NYSE has proposed amending its continued listing criteria requiring a minimum stockholders' equity of $75 million and minimum market capitalization of $75 million.

In the event we fail to meet any current or revised listing criteria of the NYSE, our ordinary shares may be delisted from trading on The New York Stock Exchange. We cannot assure you that we will meet all NYSE criteria in the future. Delisting of our ordinary shares would result in limited availability of market price information and limited news coverage. In addition, delisting could diminish investors' interest in our ordinary shares as well as significantly reduce the liquidity and price of our ordinary shares. Delisting may also make it more difficult for us to issue additional securities or secure additional financing.

16

WE DEPEND ON OUR SUPPLIERS FOR MACHINERY; WE MAY EXPERIENCE DELAYS OR

ADDITIONAL COSTS SATISFYING OUR PRODUCTION REQUIREMENTS.

We purchase machinery and equipment, including the machinery used in our Hi-Tex manufacturing process, from sole suppliers. If our suppliers are not able to provide us with additional machinery or equipment as needed, we might not be able to increase our production to meet any growing demand for our products.

WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO PROTECT OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.

Our success is substantially dependent upon the adaptations and configurations we make to the machinery and equipment that we purchase and upon the manufacturing technologies and techniques that we have developed for our exclusive use. Only a part of the adaptations, configurations, technologies or techniques used in our manufacturing process is patented. Moreover, we purchase our machinery and equipment from third parties and we cannot assure that a competitor will not adapt, configure or otherwise utilize machinery or equipment

in substantially the same manner as we do. Any replication of our manufacturing process by a competitor would significantly reduce our sales.

WE FACE POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST CAUSED BY INVESTOR INFLUENCE.

Our principal shareholders have a great deal of influence over the constitution of our Board of Directors and over matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders. As of August 10, 2004, Arie Wolfson, the Chairman of our Board of Directors, had direct voting power over approximately 6.34% of the outstanding ordinary shares of Tefron, not including options to acquire 150,000 ordinary shares of Tefron that have already vested. Mr. Wolfson is also the Chairman and a significant shareholder of Macpell Industries Ltd., an Israeli company that owns approximately 22.16% of the outstanding ordinary shares of Tefron as of August 10, 2004. Mr. Wolfson and Mr. Sigi Rabinowicz, a Director of Tefron, and another Macpell shareholder collectively own a controlling interest in Macpell, have entered into a shareholders' agreement regarding corporate actions of Macpell, including the process by which Macpell votes its ordinary shares of Tefron to elect our Directors. As a result, the corporate actions of Tefron may be influenced significantly by Messrs. Wolfson and Rabinowicz.

As of August 10, 2004, Norfet, Limited Partnership had voting power over approximately 28.76% of the outstanding ordinary shares of Tefron. In connection with the acquisition of Tefron ordinary shares by Norfet, Limited Partnership from the Company and from Arwol Holdings Ltd., an Israeli company wholly owned by Arie Wolfson, and from Macpell, each of Norfet, Limited Partnership, Arwol and Macpell have agreed to vote all of the Tefron ordinary shares owned or controlled by each of them for the election to the Company's nine-member Board of Directors of: (i) two members plus one independent director and one external director nominated by Norfet, Limited Partnership, (ii) two members plus one independent director and one external director nominated by Arwol and Macpell, and (iii) the Company's chief executive officer.

We are party to a consulting and management services agreement with Mr. Wolfson and a company controlled by him, pursuant to which the company controlled by Mr. Wolfson has agreed to provide consultancy and management services to Tefron. We also engage in transactions with Macpell and its affiliates. We believe that the consulting and management agreement and these transactions are beneficial to us and are conducted upon terms which are no less favorable to us than those terms available to us from unaffiliated third parties. We intend to continue to engage in transactions with Macpell and its affiliates. We may be in direct or indirect competition with Macpell or its affiliates in the future. Moreover, opportunities to develop, manufacture or sell new products or market them to new customers may arise in the future and Macpell or its affiliates might pursue such opportunities while excluding us from, or competing with us for, such opportunities. We have also agreed to pay Norfet management fees for certain non-exclusive strategic guidance and consulting services.

17

Israeli companies law imposes procedures, including, for certain material transactions, a requirement of shareholder approval, as a precondition to entering into interested party transactions. These procedures may apply to transactions between us and any of our major shareholders, such as Norfet and Macpell. However, we cannot assure that we will be able to avoid the possible detrimental effects of any such conflicts of interest by complying with the procedures mandated by Israeli law.

WE ARE AFFECTED BY CONDITIONS TO, AND POSSIBLE REDUCTION OF, GOVERNMENT

PROGRAMS AND TAX BENEFITS

We benefit from certain Israeli Government programs and tax benefits, particularly as a result of the "Approved Enterprise" status of substantially all of our existing production facilities in Israel. As a result of our "Approved Enterprise" status, we have been able to receive significant investment grants with respect to our capital expenditures. Following our exhaustion of our net operating loss carry forwards, we have been able to benefit from a reduced tax rate of 25% on earnings derived from these investments for which the benefit period has not expired. To maintain eligibility for these programs and tax benefits, we must continue to meet

certain conditions, including making certain specified investments in fixed assets and conducting our operations in specified "Approved Enterprise" zones. If we fail to meet such conditions in the future, we could be required to refund tax benefits and grants already received, in whole or in part, with interest linked to the Consumer Price Index in Israel from the date of receipt. We have granted a security interest over all of our assets to secure our obligations to fulfill these conditions.

The Government of Israel has reduced the available amount of investment grants from up to 38% of eligible capital expenditures in 1996 to up to 24% of eligible capital expenditures (for projects not exceeding investments of 140 million shekels that are submitted in any year) and up to 20% of eligible capital expenditures (for projects exceeding investments of 140 million shekels that are submitted in any year) since 1997. There can be no assurance that the Israeli Government will not further reduce the availability of investment grants. The termination or reduction of certain programs and tax benefits, particularly benefits available to us as a result of the "Approved Enterprise" status of some of our existing facilities in Israel, would increase the costs of acquiring machinery and equipment for our production facilities and increase our effective tax rate which, in the aggregate, could have significantly reduce our profitability.

In addition, if the percentage of our foreign investment exceeds 25%, our Approved Enterprises would qualify for reduced tax rates for three years beyond the initial seven-year period. We cannot assure that we will obtain approval for additional Approved Enterprises, or that the provisions of the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959, as amended, will not change or that the 25% foreign investment percentage will be reached for any subsequent year.

We also benefit from exemptions from customs duties and import quotas due to our location in Israel, Jordan (Qualified Industrial Zone) and Madagascar and the free trade agreements Israel maintains with the United States, Canada, the European Union and the European Free Trade Association. If there is a change in such benefits or if other countries enter into similar agreements and obtain similar benefits or if any such agreements were terminated, our profitability may be reduced.

18

WE FACE SEVERAL RISKS, INCLUDING POLITICAL, ECONOMIC, SOCIAL, CLIMATIC RISKS, ASSOCIATED WITH INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS.

Approximately 95% of our sales in 2003 were made to customers in the United States, and we intend to continue to expand our sales to customers in the United States and Europe. In addition, a substantial majority of our raw materials are purchased outside of Israel. Our international sales and purchases are affected by costs associated with shipping goods and risks inherent in doing business in international markets, including:

  • o changes in regulatory requirements;
  • o export restrictions, tariffs and other trade barriers;
  • o currency fluctuations;
  • o longer payment cycles;
  • o difficulties in collecting accounts receivable; and
  • o political instability and seasonal reductions in business activities.

Any of these risks could have a material adverse effect on our ability to deliver or receive goods on a competitive and timely basis and on our results of operations. We cannot assure that we will not encounter significant difficulties in connection with the sale or procurement of goods in international markets in the future or that one or more of these factors will not significantly reduce our sales or profitability.

In addition, we may enter into joint ventures with third parties or establish operations outside of Israel that will subject us to additional operating risks. These risks may include diversion of management time and resources and the loss of management control over such operations and may subject us to the laws of such jurisdiction.

In addition to our production facilities in Israel, we currently have production facilities in Jordan and Madagascar and are in the process of shifting additional sewing production to Jordan to take advantage of lower labor costs. During the last quarter of 2003, disputes arose between us and the other shareholders in our joint subsidiaries that manage our operations in Madagascar. As a result, effectively, we lost our influence in those companies. We intend to terminate our partnership with these other shareholders and are currently exploring our options with respect to our continued operations in Madagascar.

Our ability to benefit from the lower labor costs will depend on the political, social and economic stability of these countries and in the Middle East and Africa in general. We cannot assure that the political, economic or social situation in these countries or in the Middle East and Africa in general will not have a material adverse effect on our operations, especially in light of the potential for hostilities in the Middle East. The success of the production facilities also will depend on the quality of the workmanship of laborers, and our ability to maintain good relations with such laborers, in these countries. We cannot guarantee that our operations in Madagascar or Jordan will be cost-efficient or successful.

19

Furthermore, Madagascar experiences wide climate variations and a yearly hurricane season generally between the months of November to March. These weather conditions could negatively affect our operations in Madagascar by, among other things, requiring us to delay or halt production, hindering our ability to transport raw materials to, and finished products from, the Madagascar production facility or even requiring us to replace or perform costly repairs to our equipment at the facility. We cannot assure that our operations will not be materially affected by weather conditions or natural disasters in any area where we maintain production facilities.

WE ARE SUBJECT TO VARIOUS RISKS RELATING TO OPERATIONS IN ISRAEL

We are incorporated under the laws of, and our main offices and manufacturing facilities are located in, the State of Israel. We are directly influenced by the political, economic and military conditions in Israel. Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, a number of armed conflicts have taken place between Israel and its Arab neighbors and a state of hostility, varying in degree and intensity, has led to security and economic problems for Israel. Any major hostilities involving Israel, the interruption or curtailment of trade between Israel and its trading partners or a significant downturn in the economic or financial condition of Israel could have a material adverse effect on our operations. Since October 2000, there has been a substantial deterioration in the relationship between Israel and the Palestinians which has resulted in increased violence. The future effect of this deterioration and violence on the Israeli economy and our operations is unclear. We cannot assure that ongoing or revived hostilities or other factors related to Israel will not have a material adverse effect on us or our business.

Generally, all male adult citizens and permanent residents of Israel under the age of 54, unless exempt, are obligated to perform up to 36 days of annual military reserve duty. Additionally, all such residents are subject to being called to active duty at any time under emergency circumstances. Some of our officers and employees are currently obligated to perform annual reserve duty. No assessment can be made as to the full impact of such requirements on our workforce or business if conditions in Israel should change, and no prediction can be made as to the effect of any expansion or reduction of such military obligations on us.

20

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Our disclosure in this prospectus (including documents incorporated by reference herein) contains "forward-looking statements." Forward-looking statements are our current expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historic or current facts. They use words such as "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "project," "intend," "plan," "believe," and other words and terms of similar meaning. These include statements, among others, relating to our planned future actions, our prospective products or product approvals, our beliefs with respect to the sufficiency of our cash and cash equivalents, plans with respect to funding operations, projected expense levels and the outcome of contingencies, such as future financial results.

Any or all of our forward-looking statements in this prospectus may turn out to be wrong. They can be affected by inaccurate assumptions we might make or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. Actual results may vary materially. The uncertainties that may cause differences include, but are not limited to:

  • o our customers' continued purchase of our products in the same volumes or on the same terms;
  • o the cyclical nature of the retail industry;
  • o the potential adverse effect on our future operating efficiency resulting from our new product lines and our manufacture of products in shorter production runs;
  • o the purchase of new equipment that may be necessary as a result of our expansion into new product lines;
  • o fluctuations in inflation and currency rates;
  • o our failure to generate sufficient cash from our operations to pay our debt;
  • o the limitations and restrictions imposed by our substantial debt

obligations;

  • o the competitive nature of the intimate apparel and active-wear markets; and
  • o the fluctuating costs of raw materials.

In addition, you should note that our past financial and operation performance is not necessarily indicative of future financial and operational performance. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

21

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any proceeds from the sales of the Shares by the selling shareholder to others. However, we will receive proceeds from the issuance of the Shares to the selling shareholder. The purchase price to be paid by the selling shareholder will be at a discount of 6% to the market price of our ordinary shares. The "market price" will be calculated to be the average of the lowest closing prices for any four trading days (not necessarily consecutive) during the ten trading day period immediately following the date on which we deliver a written notice to the selling shareholder setting forth the dollar amount with respect to which we will require the selling shareholder to purchase our ordinary shares.

OFFERING PRICE

The selling shareholder has advised us that it may sell the Shares offered by this prospectus at the prevailing market price at the time of such sales, at

prices related to such prevailing market price, at negotiated prices, or at fixed prices. The actual number of Shares to be sold and the prices at which they will be sold will depend upon the market price at the time of those sales. Therefore, we have not included in this prospectus information about the price to the public.

OFFER AND LISTING DETAILS

Since the initial public offering of our ordinary shares on September 24, 1997, our ordinary shares have been traded on the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, under the symbol "TFR." Prior to the offering, there was no market for our ordinary shares. There is no non-United States trading market for our ordinary shares.

The high and low sales prices for our ordinary shares as reported on the NYSE during the first, second and third quarters of 2004 as well as for October 2004 (to date) are set forth below. Other information regarding the market price of our ordinary shares is located in our Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2003 filed with the SEC on April 1, 2004.

NOTICE REGARDING ARTHUR ANDERSEN LLP

Our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2001, which are incorporated in the registration statement on Form F-2 of which this prospectus forms a part, were audited by Luboshitz, Kasierer & Co., a member

firm of Arthur Andersen ("Andersen"), as set forth in its audit report thereon. On August 5, 2002, we appointed Kost Forer & Gabbay (now known as Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer), a member firm of Ernst & Young International, to replace Andersen, as our independent auditors.

Section 11(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, provides that if any part of a registration statement at the time it becomes effective contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, any person acquiring a security pursuant to the registration statement (unless it is proved that at the time of the acquisition the person knew of the untruth or omission) may sue, among others, every accountant who has consented to be named as having prepared or certified any part of the registration statement or as having prepared or certified any report or valuation which is used in connection with the registration statement with respect to the statement in the registration statement, report or valuation which purports to have been prepared or certified by the accountant.

Prior to the date of this prospectus, the Andersen partner who reviewed our most recent audited financial statements resigned from Andersen. In response to our requests for Andersen's consent to include its audit report in the registration statement on Form F-2, of which this prospectus forms a part, a representative of Andersen advised us that Andersen would not provide consents where the Andersen audit partner was no longer with Andersen. As a result, after reasonable efforts, we have been unable to obtain Andersen's written consent to the incorporation by reference into this registration statement of Andersen's audit reports with respect to our financial statements.

Under these circumstances, Rule 437a promulgated under the Securities Act permits us to file this registration statement without a written consent from Andersen. Accordingly, Andersen will not be liable to you under Section 11(a) of the Securities Act because it has not consented to being named as an expert in the registration statement.

SELLING SHAREHOLDER

This prospectus and the registration statement of which it is a part cover the resale of the Shares to be issued to the selling shareholder pursuant to a Private Equity Credit Agreement between Tefron and the selling shareholder, dated as of March 9, 2004. We have agreed to prepare and file a registration statement on Form F-2 with the SEC covering the Shares as set forth in the table below. The registration statement to which this prospectus relates has been filed with the SEC pursuant to this agreement. We have also agreed to maintain the effectiveness of this registration statement to allow the selling shareholder to sell the Shares covered by this prospectus until the earlier to occur of (1) the date that is one year after the completion of the last closing date under the Private Equity Credit Agreement, (2) the date the selling shareholder may sell all ordinary shares covered by the Registration Rights Agreement under the provisions of Rule 144 without limitation as to volume, or (3) the date that the selling shareholder no longer owns any of the ordinary shares covered by the Registration Rights Agreement. The selling shareholder currently holds no ordinary shares of Tefron, and to the best of our knowledge, prior to our drawing on the equity line, the selling shareholder will hold no ordinary shares of Tefron. The selling shareholder is an underwriter with respect to its resales of the Shares.

24

The following table provides information about the actual and potential ownership of our ordinary shares by the selling shareholder in connection with the equity line credit facility as of April 28, 2004, and the number of our shares registered for sale in this prospectus. The number of ordinary shares issuable under the equity line credit facility varies according to the market price at and immediately preceding the put date. Solely for purposes of estimating the number of ordinary shares that would be issuable to the selling shareholder as set forth in the table below, we have assumed a hypothetical put by us on October 18, 2004, of 2,470,021 ordinary shares (which equals 19.9% of our outstanding ordinary shares as of the date we entered into the Private Equity Credit Agreement) under the equity line credit facility at a per share price of approximately $3.85. The actual per share price and the number of

shares issuable upon actual puts by us could differ substantially. This prospectus and the registration statement of which it is a part covers the resale of up to 2,470,021 of our ordinary shares.

Under the terms and conditions of the equity line credit facility, the selling shareholder is prohibited from having shares put to it to the extent such put by us would result in that person beneficially owning more than 4.99% of our then outstanding ordinary shares following such put. This restriction does not prevent the selling shareholder from receiving and selling put shares and thereafter receiving additional put shares. In this way, the selling shareholder could sell more than 4.99% of our outstanding ordinary shares in a relatively short time frame while never beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the outstanding ordinary shares at any one time. For purposes of calculating the number of ordinary shares issuable to the selling shareholder assuming a put of 19.9% of our outstanding ordinary shares under the equity line credit facility, as set forth below, the effect of such 4.99% limitation has been disregarded. The number of shares issuable to the selling shareholder as described in the table below therefore may exceed the actual number of shares the selling shareholder may be entitled to beneficially own under the equity line credit facility.

The following information is not determinative of the selling shareholder's beneficial ownership of our ordinary shares pursuant to Rule 13d-3 or any other provision under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Neither selling shareholder nor any of its affiliates has held any position or office with, been employed by or otherwise has had any material relationship with us or our affiliates during the three years prior to the date of this prospectus.

(1) Mr. Barry Herman has the ultimate voting and investment control over the shares listed in this selling shareholder table.

(2) Based on 17,016,847 ordinary shares outstanding as of October 18, 2004. As

noted above, the selling shareholder is prohibited by the terms of the equity line credit facility from having shares put to it to the extent that such put of shares by us would result in the selling shareholder beneficially owning more than 4.99% of our then outstanding ordinary shares following such put. The percentage set forth is not determinative of the selling shareholder's beneficial ownership of our ordinary shares pursuant to Rule 13d-3 or any other provision under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The percentage may change based on the selling shareholder's decision to sell or hold the Shares.

(3) The registration statement of which this prospectus is a part covers up to 2,470,021 ordinary shares issuable under the equity line credit facility. Because the specific circumstances of the issuances under the equity line credit facility are not ascertainable at this time, the precise total number of our ordinary shares offered by the selling shareholder cannot be fixed at this time, but cannot exceed 2,470,021, which is the maximum number of ordinary shares that may be issued under the Private Equity Credit Agreement. The amount set forth represents the number of our ordinary shares that would be issuable, and hence offered hereby, assuming a put of the 19.9% of our outstanding ordinary shares (as of the date we entered into the Private Equity Credit Agreement) to the selling shareholder under the equity line credit facility as of October 18, 2004. The actual number of our ordinary shares offered hereby may differ according to the actual number of shares issued upon such puts.

(4) Consists of 2,470,021 ordinary shares issuable upon a hypothetical put of 19.9% of our outstanding ordinary shares (as of the date we entered into the Private Equity Credit Agreement) under the equity line credit facility as of October 18, 2004.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We are registering the Shares covered by this prospectus for the selling shareholder. We will receive no proceeds from the sale of Shares in this offering. The selling shareholder may sell any or all of the Shares for value at any time or from time to time under this prospectus in one or more transactions on the New York Stock Exchange or any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the ordinary shares are traded, in a negotiated transaction or in a combination of such methods of sale, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at prices otherwise negotiated. The selling shareholder will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. The selling shareholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling Shares:

  • o ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
  • o block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the Shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
  • o purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
  • o an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
  • o privately negotiated transactions;
  • o underwritten offerings;

o short sales;

27

o agreements by the broker-dealer and the selling shareholder to sell a specified number of such Shares at a stipulated price per Share;

o a combination of any such methods of sale; or

o any other method permitted by applicable law.

The selling shareholder may also sell Shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, under Section 4(1) of the Securities Act or directly to us in certain circumstances rather than under this prospectus.

Unless otherwise prohibited, the selling shareholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions in connection with distributions of the Shares or otherwise. In such transactions, broker-dealers or financial institutions may engage in short sales of the Shares in the course of hedging the position they assume with the selling shareholder. The selling shareholder may also engage in short sales, puts and calls, forward-exchange contracts, collars and other transactions in our securities or derivatives of our securities and may sell or deliver Shares in connection with these trades. If the selling shareholder sell shares short, they may redeliver the Shares to close out such short positions. The selling shareholder may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or financial institutions which require the delivery to the broker-dealer or the financial institution of the Shares. The broker-dealer or financial institution may then resell or otherwise transfer such Shares pursuant to this prospectus. In addition, the selling shareholder may loan their Shares to broker-dealers or financial institutions who are counterparties to hedging transactions and the broker-dealers, financial institutions or counterparties may sell the borrowed Shares into the public market. The selling shareholder may also pledge their

Shares to their brokers or financial institutions and under the margin loan the broker or financial institution may, from time to time, offer and sell the pledged Shares. The selling shareholder have advised us that they have not entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriters, broker-dealers or financial institutions regarding the sale of their Shares other than ordinary course brokerage arrangements, nor is there an underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of Shares by the selling shareholder.

Broker-dealers or agents may receive compensation in the form of commissions, discounts or concessions from the selling shareholder in amounts to be negotiated in connection with the sale. Such broker-dealers and any other participating broker-dealers are deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act, in connection with such Sales and any such commission, discount or concession may be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. The selling shareholder is an underwriter with respect to its resales of the Shares.

All costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the Shares will be borne by us. Commissions and discounts, if any, attributable to the sales of the Shares will be borne by the selling shareholder. The selling shareholder may agree to indemnify any broker-dealer or agent that participates in transactions involving sales of the Shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933.

We have advised the selling shareholder that the anti-manipulation rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 may apply to sales of our ordinary shares in the market and to the activities of the selling shareholder and its affiliates. In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling shareholder and have informed it of the need for delivery of copies of this prospectus to purchasers at or prior to the time of any sale of the Shares offered hereby.

28

There is no assurance that the selling shareholder will sell all or any portion of the Shares offered under this prospectus. Because it is possible that a significant number of Shares could be sold simultaneously by means of this prospectus, such sales, or the possibility thereof, may have an adverse effect on the market price of our ordinary shares.

REGULATION M

We have advised the selling shareholder that during any period when they may be engaged in a distribution of the Shares covered by this prospectus, they may be required to comply with Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act. With certain exceptions, Regulation M precludes any selling shareholder, any affiliated purchaser and any broker-dealer or other individual who participates in a distribution of securities from bidding for or purchasing, or attempting to induce any individual to bid for or purchase, any security that is the subject of the distribution until such person's participation in the distribution is complete. Regulation M also prohibits bids or purchases made in order to stabilize the price of a security in connection with the distribution of that security, subject to certain exceptions. All of these factors may affect the marketability of our ordinary shares.

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

Service of process upon us and upon our directors and officers and the Israeli experts named in this prospectus, most of whom reside outside the United States, may be difficult to obtain within the United States. Furthermore, because all of our assets and most of our directors and officers are located outside the United States, any judgment obtained in the United States against us or any of our directors and officers may not be collectible within the United States.

30

We have been informed by our legal counsel in Israel, Gross, Kleinhendler, Hodak, Halevy, Greenberg & Co., that there is doubt concerning the enforceability of civil liabilities under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act in original actions instituted in Israel. However, subject to specified time limitations, Israeli courts may enforce a United States final executory judgment in a civil matter, including a monetary or compensatory judgment in a non-civil matter, obtained after due process before a court of competent jurisdiction according to the laws of the state in which the judgment is given and if the rules of enforcing foreign judgments prevailing in Israel enable its enforcement. The rules of enforcing foreign judgments currently prevailing in Israel do not prohibit the enforcement of a U.S. judgment by Israeli courts

provided that:

  • o the judgment is enforceable in the state in which it was given;
  • o adequate service of process has been effected and the defendant has had a reasonable opportunity to present his arguments and evidence;
  • o enforcement of the judgment is not contrary to the security or sovereignty of the State of Israel;
  • o the content of the judgment is not contrary to public policy;
  • o the judgment was not obtained by fraud;
  • o the judgment does not conflict with any other valid judgment in the same matter between the same parties;
  • o an action between the same parties in the same matter is not pending in any Israeli court at the time the lawsuit is instituted in the foreign court; and
  • o the judgment was not issued by an incompetent court under the rules of private international law prevailing in Israel.

We have irrevocably appointed CT Corporation System as our agent to receive service of process in any action against us in any federal court or court of the State of New York arising out of this offering or any purchase or sale of securities in connection with this offering.

If a foreign judgment is enforced by an Israeli court, it generally will be payable in Israeli currency, which can then be converted into non-Israeli currency and transferred out of Israel. The usual practice in an action before an Israeli court to recover an amount in a non-Israeli currency is for the Israeli court to issue a judgment for the equivalent amount in Israeli currency at the rate of exchange in force on the date of the judgment, but the judgment debtor may make payment in foreign currency. Pending collection, the amount of the judgment of an Israeli court stated in Israeli currency ordinarily will be

linked to the Israeli consumer price index plus interest at an annual statutory rate set by Israeli regulations prevailing at the time. Judgment creditors must bear the risk of unfavorable exchange rates.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

ITEM 8. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

The Israeli Companies Law 1999 provides that an Israeli company cannot exculpate an office holder from liability with respect to a breach of his duty of loyalty, but may exculpate in advance an office holder from his liability to the company, in whole or in part, with respect to a breach of his duty of care. Our Articles of Association provide that subject to any restrictions imposed by the Companies Law, we may enter into a contract for the insurance of the liability of any of its directors and office holders with respect to:

  • o a breach of his duty of care to us or to another person;
  • o a breach of his duty of loyalty to us, provided that the office holder acted in good faith and had reasonable cause to assume that his act would not prejudice our interests; or
  • o a financial liability imposed upon him in favor of another person in respect of an act performed by him in his capacity as an office holder.

Our Articles of Association also include the following provisions:

o a provision authorizing us to grant in advance an undertaking to indemnify an office holder, provided that the undertaking is limited to types of events that the board of directors deems to be anticipated and limited to an amount determined by the board of directors to be reasonable under the circumstances;

  • o a provision authorizing us to retroactively indemnify an office holder;
  • o a provision authorizing us to indemnify an office holder against a financial liability imposed on him in favor of another person by any judgment, including a settlement or an arbitrator's award approved by a court in respect of an act performed in his capacity as an office holder; and
  • o a provision authorizing us to indemnify an office holder against reasonable litigation expenses, including attorneys' fees, expended by such office holder or charged to him by a court, in proceedings we institutes against him, or instituted on our behalf or by another person, or in a criminal charge from which he was acquitted, all in respect of an act performed in his capacity as an office holder.

These provisions are specifically limited in their scope by the Israeli Companies Law 1999, which provides that a company may not indemnify an office holder for, nor enter into an insurance contract that would provide coverage for any monetary liability incurred as a result of, any of the following:

  • o a breach by the office holder of his duty of loyalty unless the office holder acted in good faith and had a reasonable basis to believe that the act would not prejudice the company;
  • o a breach by the office holder of his duty of care if such breach was done intentionally or in disregard of the circumstances of the breach or its consequences;
  • o any act or omission done with the intent to derive an illegal personal benefit; or
  • o any fine levied against the office holder as a result of a criminal offense.

In addition, pursuant to the Israeli Companies Law 1999, indemnification of and procurement of insurance coverage for our office holders must be approved by its audit committee and board of directors and, for indemnification and insurance for directors, also by its shareholders.

We have obtained directors' and officers' liability insurance covering our officers and directors and those of our subsidiaries for claims arising from wrongful acts they committed in their capacity as an officer or a director.

ITEM 10. UNDERTAKINGS

The Registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:

(i) include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

(ii) reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or for the most recent post-effective amendment hereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this

Registration Statement.

(iii) include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) To file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement to include any financial statements required by Item 8.A. of Form 20-F at the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering. Financial statements and information otherwise required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act need not be furnished, provided, that the registrant includes in the prospectus, by means of a post-effective amendment, financial statements required pursuant to this paragraph (a)(4) and other information necessary to ensure that all other information in the prospectus is at least as current as the date of those financial statements.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter

has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to deliver or cause to be delivered with the prospectus, to each person to which the prospectus is sent or given, the registrant's latest filing on Form 20-F, Form 40-F or Form 10-K; and any filing on Form 10-Q, Form 8-K or Form 6-K incorporated by reference into the prospectus.

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

This prospectus is part of a registration statement that we filed with the SEC utilizing a "shelf" registration process. Under this shelf process, the selling shareholder may sell up to 2,470,021 ordinary shares, in one or more offerings. Each time the selling shareholder sells securities, we will provide a prospectus supplement that will contain specific information about the terms of that offering. You should read both this prospectus and any prospectus supplement together with the additional information described under the heading "Where You Can Find More Information".

THE SHARES

The Shares covered by this Prospectus are issuable by us pursuant to the equity line credit facility between us and the selling shareholder entered into on March 9, 2004. We entered into this facility in order to expand the available resources available to us and to decrease our reliance on our existing bank credit facilities. In addition, we expect that by drawing on the equity line

credit facility, we will improve our capitalization. We have no other relationship with the selling shareholder.

Under the equity line credit facility, we have an option to call funds of up to the lesser of $15 million or 19.9% of our outstanding share capital over the next three years. Under the financing facility, we will be entitled to issue shares to the selling shareholder from time to time, at our own election, subject to certain minimum and maximum limitations, but in no event will the selling shareholder be obligated to own more than 4.99% of our ordinary shares at any one time. The price to be paid by the selling shareholder will be at a discount of 6% to the market price of our ordinary shares (as calculated under the agreement) during a period prior to the issuance of the shares. The "market price" under the agreement is calculated to be the average of the lowest closing prices for any four trading days (not necessarily consecutive) during the ten trading day period immediately following the date on which we deliver a written notice to the selling shareholder setting forth the dollar amount with respect to which we will require the selling shareholder to purchase our ordinary shares.

Before drawing on the equity line, we must satisfy certain closing conditions, including the effectiveness of a registration statement that we must file relating to the shares to be issued to the selling shareholder. In addition, under our agreement with Norfet, Limited Partnership, we require the consent of Norfet for the issuance of shares under an equity line of credit if such issuance is at a price of less than $4.60 per share unless the issuance is required in order for us to satisfy covenants relating to shareholders equity under company loan agreements or to satisfy certain NYSE listing requirements. In addition, the issuance under the equity line of an aggregate sum of more than 12% of our issued capital will also require the consent of Norfet.

We expect that we will apply any proceeds from the equity line credit facility for investments in knitting, dyeing and sewing machines to expand our production capacity and for working capital to finance expansion of our operations.

CORPORATE INFORMATION

Our principal executive offices are located at 28 Chida Street, Bnei-Brak 51371, Israel and our telephone number is 972-3-579-8701.

THE COMPANY

Tefron Ltd. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel on March 10, 1977. We are subject to the provisions of the Israeli Companies Law, 5759-1999.

We manufacture intimate apparel, active-wear and swimwear sold throughout the world by such name-brand marketers as Victoria's Secret, Target, Warnaco/Calvin Klein The Gap, Banana Republic, Nike, Mervin's and as well as other well known American retailers and designer labels. Through the utilization of manufacturing technologies and techniques developed or refined by us, we are able to mass-produce quality garments featuring unique designs tailored to our customers' individual specifications at competitive prices. Our product line includes knitted briefs, bras, tank tops, boxers, leggings, crop, T-shirts, nightwear, bodysuits, swim wear, beach wear and active-wear. Our Healthcare Division manufactures and sells a range of textile healthcare products. These products include: anti-embolism stockings and compression therapy systems, an intermittent pneumatic compression device; sterile wound dressings; and XX-Span(R) dressing retainers, an extensible net tubing designed to hold dressings in place without the use of adhesive tape.

We are known for the technological innovation of our Hi-Tex and cut-and-sew manufacturing process. Our Hi-Tex manufacturing process was implemented as part of our strategy to streamline our manufacturing process and improve the design and quality of our products. The Hi-Tex manufacturing process includes the utilization of a single machine that transforms yarn directly into a nearly complete garment, replacing the knitting, cutting, and significant sewing

functions which, in traditional manufacturing, are performed sequentially on separate machines at separate workstations. Following this single-machine operation, all the Hi-Tex manufacturing process requires to complete the garment is dyeing and a reduced amount of sewing and finishing. Our Hi-Tex manufacturing process enables us to produce a substantially wider range of fabrics, styles and product lines, resulting in a consistently high level of comfort, quality and durability. Our fabric engineering, product design and the comfort of our products provide us with an opportunity to expand our sales of active-wear products.

We seek to develop strong relationships with large name-brand marketers of intimate apparel and active-wear and to become their principal supplier for those products we manufacture. We believe that customers are attracted by our manufacturing capabilities, which allow for consistently high-quality merchandise at competitive prices as well as for the capacity to accommodate rapid sales growth. We believe that our collaboration with our customers in the design and development of our products strengthens our relationships with our customers and improves the quality of our products. We began our relationship with Victoria's Secret in 1991, with Banana Republic and The Gap in 1993 and with Warnaco/Calvin Klein in 1994. In 2000, we began our relationship with Target, which was an existing customer of Alba. In 2003, these customers accounted for approximately 58.7% of our total sales.

Below is a summary of significant events in our development:

1990 First bodysize cotton panty with applicated elastics.
1997seamless Formation of Hi-Tex Founded by Tefron Ltd. and production of first

We enjoy several strategic advantages by reason of our location in Israel, Jordan and Madagascar. Israel is one of the few countries in the world that has free trade agreements with the United States, Canada, the European Union, or EU, and the European Free Trade Association, or EFTA. These agreements permit us to sell our products in the United States, Canada and the member countries of the EU and the EFTA free of customs duties and import quotas. Due to our locations in Jordan and Madagascar we benefit from exemptions from customs duties and import quotas. We also currently benefit from substantial investment grants and tax incentives provided by the Government of Israel and from the availability in Israel of both skilled engineers and relatively inexpensive unskilled workers.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our Ordinary Shares involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risk factors, in addition to the other information included and incorporated by reference in this prospectus, including the consolidated financial statements and notes, before you invest.

WE DEPEND ON A SMALL NUMBER OF PRINCIPAL CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE IN THE PAST

BOUGHT OUR PRODUCTS IN LARGE VOLUMES. WE CANNOT ASSURE THAT THESE CUSTOMERS

OR ANY OTHER CUSTOMER WILL CONTINUE TO BUY OUR PRODUCTS IN THE SAME VOLUMES

OR ON THE SAME TERMS.

Our sales to Victoria's Secret accounted for approximately 43% of our total sales in 2001, 49.8% of our total sales in 2002 and 38.2% of our total sales in 2003. Our sales to Target, Warnaco/Calvin Klein, Banana Republic and The Gap, and Cardinal Healthcare accounted in the aggregate for approximately 28.6% of our total sales in 2001, 26.3% of our total sales in 2002 and 31.4 % of our total sales in 2003. We do not have long-term purchase contracts with our customers, and our sales arrangements with our customers do not have minimum purchase requirements. We cannot assure that Victoria's Secret, Target, Warnaco/Calvin Klein, Banana Republic and The Gap, and Cardinal Healthcare or any other customer will continue to buy our products in the same volumes or on the same terms as they did in the past. Their failure to do so may significantly reduce our sales. In addition, we cannot assure that we will be able to attract new customers. A material decrease in the quantity of sales made to our principal customers, a material adverse change in the terms of such sales or a material adverse change in the financial conditions of our principal customers could significantly reduce our sales.

OUR LARGEST CUSTOMER OWNS AN INTEREST IN COMPETING PRODUCTION FACILITIES.

WE CANNOT ASSURE THAT THIS CUSTOMER WILL CONTINUE TO BUY OUR PRODUCTS IN

THE SAME VOLUMES OR ON THE SAME TERMS.

In 2003, sales to Victoria's Secret totaled $62.2 million, or 38.2% of our sales that year, a decrease from the 2002 sales to Victoria's Secret of $94.7 million, or 49.8% of our sales for that year. Controlling or related entities of Victoria's Secret own an interest in production facilities that are in direct competition to our businesses. We cannot assure that Victoria's Secret will continue to buy our products in the same volumes or on the same terms as in earlier years.

OUR PRINCIPAL CUSTOMERS ARE IN THE CLOTHING RETAIL INDUSTRY, WHICH IS SUBJECT TO SUBSTANTIAL CYCLICAL VARIATIONS. OUR REVENUES WILL DECLINE SIGNIFICANTLY IF OUR PRINCIPAL CUSTOMERS DO NOT CONTINUE TO BUY OUR PRODUCTS IN LARGE VOLUMES DUE TO AN ECONOMIC DOWNTURN.

Our customers are in the clothing retail industry, which is subject to substantial cyclical variations and is affected strongly by any downturn in the general economy. A downturn in the general economy, a change in consumer purchasing habits or any other events or uncertainties that discourage consumers from spending, could have a significant effect on our customers' sales and profitability. Such downturns, changes, events or uncertainties could result in our customers having larger inventories of our products than expected. These events could result in decreased purchase orders from us in the future, which would significantly reduce our sales and profitability. For example, the difficult global economic environment and the continuing soft retail market conditions in the world and specifically in the U.S. both before and especially after the events of September 11, 2001 were reflected in disappointing clothing retail sales in the year 2001 compared to the same period in the year 2000, and consequently decreased our order backlog and production levels. A prolonged economic downturn could harm our financial condition.

OUR EXPANSION INTO NEW PRODUCT LINES WITH MORE COMPLICATED PRODUCTS, AND

OUR MANUFACTURE OF PRODUCTS IN SHORTER PRODUCTION RUNS REDUCED OUR

OPERATING EFFICIENCY DURING 2003 AND MAY CONTINUE TO REDUCE OUR FUTURE

OPERATING EFFICIENCY.

9

During 2003, we invested significant efforts to develop and expand new product lines, including active-wear products, to diversify our product line and our client base. The manufacturing of new, more complicated products has reduced our operating efficiency, and may continue to do so.

In addition, in the past, we relied on selling our products in relatively long production runs to achieve the manufacturing and logistical efficiencies that enable us to maintain sales and profitability at relatively high levels and to price our products competitively. During 2003, due to our expansion into new product lines and due to changing market conditions, we began manufacturing our products in shorter production runs, which also reduced our operating efficiency, and may continue to do so.

Although we believe that our efficiency will improve as we continue to manufacture our new product lines, we cannot assure that we will be able to return to our previous efficiency levels in the future.

OUR EXPANSION INTO NEW PRODUCT LINES, IN PARTICULAR ACTIVE-WEAR BUSINESS

PRODUCTS, INVOLVES THE MANUFACTURE OF NEW PRODUCTS, WHICH HAS AND MAY

REQUIRE US TO PURCHASE ADDITIONAL MACHINERY ADAPTED TO MANUFACTURE SUCH

PRODUCTS. THE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL EXPENDITURES INCURRED IN CONNECTION WITH

THESE PURCHASES MAY REDUCE OUR FUTURE CASH FLOW.

During 2003, we invested significant efforts to develop and expand our new product lines, in particular active-wear products, to diversify our product line and our client base. Active-wear products that we manufacture are made in bigger sizes than intimate apparel, both because our active-wear products are intended for both men and women, and because our active-wear products involve the manufacture of more tops, we have purchased and may need to purchase additional knitting machines and other equipment adapted to manufacture our new products lines. In addition, the manufacture of active-wear products at times requires equipment with new technologies. The additional capital expenditures that may be incurred in connection with these purchases may reduce our future cash flow.

HOLDERS OF OUR ORDINARY SHARES ARE SUBJECT TO THE RISK OF ADDITIONAL AND

SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION TO THEIR INTERESTS AS A RESULT OF THE ISSUANCES OF ORDINARY SHARES IN CONNECTION WITH THE EQUITY LINE CREDIT FACILITY.

The following table describes the number of ordinary shares that would be issuable, assuming that the full amounts of the equity line credit facility had been put to the selling shareholder, and further assuming that the applicable put prices to the selling shareholder at the time of such put were the following amounts:

Hypothetical Conversion Price Shares issuable upon puts
aggregating $15,000,000, up to
a maximum of 2,470,021
$ 3.50 2,470,021
$ 4.00 2,470,021

$ 4.50 2,470,021

$ 5.00 2,470,021
$ 5.20 2,470,021
$ 5.50 2,470,021
$ 7.00 2,142,857
$ 8.00 1,875,000

10

If the market price of the ordinary shares decreases, the number of ordinary shares issuable in connection with the equity facility credit facility will increase and, accordingly, the aggregate dollar amount of draws under the equity facility credit facility will decrease. Despite our right to draw up to $15,000,000 under the equity facility credit facility, we may run out of shares given the maximum 2,470,021 ordinary shares that may be issued to the selling shareholder in connection with our draws under the equity line credit facility and are registered under this prospectus and the registration statement of which it is a part.

The following table demonstrates the correlation between share price decline and decreases in aggregate draw amounts available, given the maximum 2,471,021 ordinary shares that may be issued to the selling shareholder and are registered under this prospectus and the registration statement of which it is a part:

Hypothetical Put Price Shares issuable upon puts, up to a Maximum draws
available up to

maximum of 2,470,021 $15,000,000

$ 3.00 2,470,021 $ 7,410,063
$ 3.50 2,470,021 $ 8,645,073
$ 4.00 2,470,021 $ 9,880,084
$ 4.50 2,470,021 $11,115,094
$ 5.00 2,470,021 $12,350,105
$ 5.50 2,470,021 $13,585,115
$ 6.00 2,470,021 $14,820,126
$ 7.00 2,142,857 $14,999,999
$ 8.00 1,875,000 $15,000,000

Our issuances of shares under the equity line credit facility likely will result in overall dilution to market value and relative voting power of previously issued ordinary shares, which could result in substantial dilution to the value of shares held by shareholders prior to sales under this prospectus. Furthermore, public resales of our ordinary shares by the selling shareholder following the issuance of ordinary shares in connection with the equity line credit facility likely will depress the prevailing market price of our ordinary shares. Even prior to the time of puts and public resales, the market "overhang" resulting from the mere existence of the equity line credit facility could depress the market price of our ordinary shares.

EXISTING SHAREHOLDERS LIKELY WILL EXPERIENCE INCREASED DILUTION WITH DECREASES IN MARKET VALUE OF ORDINARY SHARES IN RELATION TO OUR ISSUANCES

OF SHARES UNDER THE EQUITY LINE CREDIT FACILITY, WHICH COULD REDUCE THE VALUE OF THEIR SHARES.

The formula for determining the number of ordinary shares to be issued under the equity line credit facility is based, in part, on the market price of our ordinary shares and includes a discount from the market price equal to 94% of the average of the four lowest closing bid prices of our ordinary shares over the ten trading days after the put notice is tendered by us to the selling

shareholder. As a result, the lower the market price of our ordinary shares at and around the time we put shares under the equity line credit facility, the more shares of our ordinary shares the selling shareholder receives, subject to a ceiling of 2,470,021 shares. Any increase in the number of ordinary shares issued upon puts of shares as a result of decreases in the prevailing market price would compound the risks of dilution described in the preceding paragraph.

11

There is an increased potential for short sales of our ordinary shares due to the sales of shares put to the selling shareholder in connection with the equity line credit facility, which could reduce the market price of our ordinary shares.

Downward pressure on the market price of our ordinary shares that likely will result from sales of our ordinary shares by the selling shareholder issued in connection with a put under the equity line credit facility could encourage short sales of ordinary shares by the selling shareholder. Significant amounts of such short selling could place further downward pressure on the market price of our ordinary shares.

The restrictions on the extent of puts may have little, if any, effect on our ability to issue shares under the equity line credit facility, and as such, the selling shareholder may sell a large number of shares, resulting in substantial dilution to the value of shares held by our existing shareholders.

We are prohibited from putting shares to the selling shareholder under the equity line credit facility if such put would result in that investor holding more than 4.99% of the then outstanding ordinary shares. These restrictions, however, do not prevent the selling shareholder from selling ordinary shares received in connection with a put, and then receiving additional ordinary shares in connection with a subsequent put. In this way, the selling shareholder could sell more than 4.99% of the outstanding ordinary shares in a relatively short time frame while never holding more than 4.99% at one time.

SINCE MOST OF OUR REVENUES ARE GENERATED IN U.S. DOLLARS AND A LARGE PART

OF OUR EXPENSES ARE IN ISRAELI CURRENCY, WE ARE SUBJECT TO FLUCTUATIONS IN

INFLATION AND CURRENCY RATES.

Because most of our revenues in the foreseeable future are expected to continue to be generated in U.S. dollars and a significant portion of our expenses are expected to continue to be incurred in NIS, we are exposed to the risk of appreciation of the NIS vis-a-vis the U.S. dollar. This appreciation would cause an increase in our NIS expenses as recorded in our U.S. dollar denominated financial reports, even though the expenses denominated in NIS will remain unchanged. A portion of our NIS denominated expenses is linked to changes in the Israeli cost of living index, a portion is linked to increases in NIS payments under collective bargaining agreements and a portion is unlinked.

In addition, an increase in our expenses in NIS will not always be compensated for fully by a devaluation of NIS vis-a-vis the U.S. dollar. In 2001 and 2002, the rate of devaluation of the NIS vis-a-vis the dollar exceeded the inflation rate in Israel. During 2001 and 2002, the rate of inflation was 1.4% and 6.5%, respectively, while NIS devalued against the U.S. dollar by 9.3% and 7.3% in 2001 and 2002. During 2003, the rate of inflation was (1.9)%, while NIS appreciated against the U.S. dollar by 7.6%. However, to the extent in the future that the rate of inflation in Israel exceeds the rate of devaluation of the NIS in relation to the dollar or if the timing of such devaluation lags behind inflation in Israel, it could reduce our profitability.

WE REQUIRE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF CASH TO PAY OUR DEBT. IF WE FAIL TO GENERATE SUFFICIENT CASH FLOW FROM OPERATIONS, WE MAY NEED TO RENEGOTIATE

OR REFINANCE OUR DEBT, OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FINANCING OR POSTPONE CAPITAL EXPENDITURES.

We depend mainly on our cash generated by operating activities to make payments on our debts. In 2003, the cash generated by operating activities was approximately $2.9 million. We cannot assure that we will generate sufficient

cash flow from operations to make the scheduled payments on our debt. We have repayment obligations on our long-term debt of approximately $11.7 million in 2004, $25.2 million in 2005, $20.1 million in 2006 and $11.5 million in 2007. These amounts do not include any repayment obligations under our short-term debt in the amount of approximately $31.8 million as of December 31, 2003. Our ability to meet our debt obligations will depend on whether we can successfully implement our strategy, as well as on economic, financial, competitive and technical factors. Some of the factors are beyond our control, such as economic conditions in the markets where we operate or intend to operate, changes in our customers' demand for our products, and pressure from existing and new competitors.

On April 22, 2004, we closed transactions with Norfet, Limited Partnership and with a group of investors represented by Mr. Zvi Limon who invested an aggregate of $20 million in cash in Tefron in exchange for the issuance of ordinary shares in Tefron. We used a majority of the proceeds from such investments to repay existing bank debt. In March 2004, we announced that we had entered into an equity credit line facility agreement under which we have an option to call funds of up to the lesser of $15 million or 19.9% of our outstanding share capital over the next three years, but in no event will the investor be obligated to own more than 4.99% of our ordinary shares at any one time, and subject to certain other limitations. The closing of each put under the equity credit line facility agreement is subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, and there is no assurance we will exercise any puts, or if exercised, that the putswill actually close.

Bank Hapoalim and Israel Discount Bank have agreed to extend the repayment schedule of the long term debt due to them commencing with the payments due for 2005, such that each year from 2005 until 2012 we would be obligated to pay approximately $7 million. These agreements from the banks are subject to negotiation of final documentation.

If we cannot generate sufficient cash flow from operations to make scheduled payments on our debt obligations, we may need to renegotiate the terms of our debt, refinance our debt, obtain additional financing, delay planned capital expenditures or sell assets. Our ability to renegotiate the terms of our debt, refinance our debt or obtain additional financing will depend on, among other things:

  • o our financial condition at the time;
  • o restrictions in agreements governing our debt; and
  • o other factors, including market conditions.

If our lenders decline to renegotiate the terms of our debt, the lenders could declare all amounts borrowed and all amounts due to them under the agreements due and payable. If we are unable to repay the debt, the lenders could foreclose on our assets that are subject to liens and sell our assets to satisfy the debt.

OUR DEBT OBLIGATIONS MAY HINDER OUR GROWTH AND PUT US AT A COMPETITIVE

DISADVANTAGE.

We have a significant amount of bank debt mainly as a result of our acquisition of Alba in December 1999 and the investments made in our Hi-Tex Division. As of December 31, 2003, we had approximately $65.8 million of long term loans outstanding (including current maturities of $9.8 million). We also had approximately $2.7 million in long term capital lease obligations and other loans (including current maturities of $1.9 million) and approximately $31.8 million in short term bank credit.

Our substantial debt obligations could have important consequences. For example, they could:

o require us to use a substantial portion of our operating cash flow to pay interest, which reduces funds available to grow and expand our business, invest in machinery and equipment and for other purposes;

13

  • o place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt;
  • o make us more vulnerable to economic and industry downturns and reduce our flexibility in responding to changing business and economic conditions;
  • o limit our ability to pursue business opportunities; and
  • o limit our ability to borrow money for operations or capital in the future.

Because a significant portion of our loans bear interest at floating rates, an increase in interest rates could reduce our profitability. A ten percent interest rate change on our floating interest rate long-term loans outstanding at December 31, 2003, would have an annual impact of approximately $0.5 million on our interest cost.

DUE TO RESTRICTIONS IN OUR LOAN AGREEMENTS, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO OPERATE

OUR BUSINESS AS WE DESIRE.

Our loan agreements contain a number of conditions and limitations on the way in which we can operate our business, including limitations on our ability to raise debt, sell or acquire assets and pay dividends. Our loan agreements also contain various covenants which require that we maintain certain financial ratios related to shareholder's equity and operating results that are customary for companies comparable in size. These limitations and covenants may force us to pursue less than optimal business strategies or forgo business arrangements which could have been financially advantageous to us or our shareholders.

Due to our incurrence in 2002 of expenses totaling approximately $26.4 million (mainly resulting from a non-cash goodwill adjustment of $18.8 million in compliance with SFAS 142; a capital loss of approximately $1.8 million associated with the sale of 52% of the Health Products Division of Alba; and restructuring costs of Alba of approximately $5.3 million), and a net loss for 2003 of approximately of $3.5 million, our shareholders equity as of December 31, 2003 was $36.7 million and our ratio of shareholders'equity to total assets was 18.1%. These figures were below the minimum level of approximately $67 million for shareholders' equity and the minimum percentage of 30% for our ratio of shareholders' equity to total assets required by the covenants under our credit facility with Bank Hapoalim B.M. and Israel Discount Bank of New York. Bank Hapoalim has agreed to amend the minimum shareholders' equity requirement to $36.5 million and the ratio of shareholders' equity to total assets to not less than 18% for the period from December 31, 2003 to March 31, 2004 (inclusive). Israeli Discount Bank has agreed to amend the minimum shareholders' equity requirement to $36.5 million and the ratio of shareholders equity to total assets to not less than 18% for the period from December 31, 2003 to March 31, 2004 (inclusive).

Bank Hapoalim and Israel Discount Bank have agreed to permanently amend our shareholders' equity requirement to not less than $40 million and our ratio of shareholders' equity to total assets to not less than 20% following our payment to the banks of a portion of the proceeds of the $15 million investment from Norfet, Limited Partnership.

Our failure to comply with the covenants and restrictions contained in our loan agreements could lead to a default under the terms of these agreements. If a default occurs and we are unable to renegotiate the terms of the debt, the lenders could declare all amounts borrowed and all amounts due to them under the agreements due and payable. If we are unable to repay the debt, the lenders could foreclose on our assets that are subject to liens and sell our assets to satisfy the debt.

OUR ANNUAL AND QUARTERLY OPERATING RESULTS MAY VARY WHICH MAY CAUSE THE

MARKET PRICE OF OUR ORDINARY SHARES TO DECLINE.

We may experience significant fluctuations in our annual and quarterly operating results which may be caused by, among other factors:

  • o the timing, size and composition of orders from customers;
  • o varying levels of market acceptance of our products;
  • o the timing of new product introductions by us, our customers or their competitors;
  • o economic conditions in the geographical areas in which we operate or sell products; and
  • o operating efficiencies.

When we establish a relationship with a new customer, initial sales to such customer are often in larger quantities of goods (to build its initial inventory) than may be required to replenish such inventory from time to time afterwards. As a result, after a customer builds its initial inventory, our sales to such customer may decrease. We cannot assure that our sales to any of our customers will continue at the current rate.

Our operations are affected by our principal customers' businesses, which businesses are subject to substantial cyclical variations. If demand for our products is significantly reduced, our profits will be reduced, and we may experience slower production, lower plant and equipment utilization and lower fixed operating cost absorption.

Additionally, if, in any year, there is a significant number of Christian, Druse, Jewish or Muslim holidays in a particular quarter, we will have fewer days of operation which will result in lower levels of production and sales during such quarter. In certain years, a significant number of such holidays

have occurred during the second quarter, but the dates of many of those holidays are based on the lunar calendar and vary from year to year.

OUR MARKETS ARE HIGHLY COMPETITIVE AND SOME OF OUR COMPETITORS HAVE NUMEROUS ADVANTAGES OVER US; WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO COMPETE SUCCESSFULLY.

We compete directly with a number of manufacturers of intimate apparel and active-wear many of which have longer operating histories, larger customer bases, greater geographical proximity to customers and significantly greater financial and marketing resources than we do. Increased competition, direct or indirect, could reduce our revenues and profitability through pricing pressure, loss of market share and other factors. We cannot assure that we will be able to compete successfully against existing or new competitors, as the market for our products evolves and the level of competition increases. Moreover, our existing and prospective competitors, especially those from the Far East, have established, or may in the future establish, relationships with our existing and potential customers, which could have a materially affect on our ability to compete. In addition, we cannot assure that our customers will not seek to manufacture our products through alternative sources and thereby eliminate the need to purchase our products.

Our customers operate in an intensely competitive retail environment. In the event that any of our customers' sales decline for any reason, whether or not related to us or to our products, our sales to such customers could be materially reduced.

15

In addition, our competitors may be able to purchase seamless knitting machines and other equipment similar to, but less expensive than, the Santoni knitting machines we use to knit garments in our Hi-Tex manufacturing process. By reducing their production cost, our competitors may lower their selling prices. If we are forced to reduce our prices and we cannot reduce our

production costs, it will cause a reduction in our profitability. Furthermore, if there is a weak retail market or a downturn in the general economy, competitors may be pressured to sell their inventory at substantially depressed prices. A surplus of intimate apparel at significantly reduced prices in the marketplace would significantly reduce our sales.

WE ARE SUBJECT TO FLUCTUATING COSTS OF RAW MATERIALS.

We use cotton yarn, lycra, spandex, various polymeric yarn and elastic as primary materials for manufacturing our products. Our financial performance depends, to a substantial extent, on the cost and availability of these raw materials. The capacity, supply and demand for such raw materials are subject to cyclical and other market factors and may fluctuate significantly. As a result, our cost in securing raw materials is subject to substantial increases and decreases over which we have no control except by seeking to time our purchases of cotton and polymeric yarns, which are our principal raw material, to take advantage of favorable market conditions. For example, during 2003, the cost of cotton increased by 45-50% due to an increase in demand. We cannot assure that we will be able to pass on to customers the increased costs associated with the procurement of raw materials. Moreover, there has in the past been, and there may in the future be, a time lag between the incurrence of such increased costs and the transfer of such increases to customers. To the extent that increases in the cost of raw materials cannot be passed on to customers or there is a delay in passing on the increased costs to customers, we are likely to experience an increase in the cost of raw materials which may materially reduce our margin of profitability.

IF OUR ORDINARY SHARES ARE DELISTED FROM THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE, THE

LIQUIDITY AND PRICE OF OUR ORDINARY SHARES AND OUR ABILITY TO ISSUE ADDITIONAL SECURITIES MAY BE SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED.

In order to maintain the listing of our ordinary shares on The New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, we are required to meet specified maintenance standards. In December 2002, we were notified by the NYSE that we failed to comply with the listing standards of minimum stockholders' equity of $50 million and minimum market capitalization of $50 million over a consecutive 30 trading

day period. As a result, we submitted a business plan to the NYSE demonstrating how we anticipate meeting these criteria within 18-months as required by the NYSE rules. In February 2003, we were notified that we had been approved for continued listing on the NYSE, subject to the successful implementation of the business plan that we submitted to the Exchange. We cannot guarantee that we will successfully implement our business plan. In March 2004, we were informed by the NYSE that it intends to publish for public comment amended continued listing criteria requiring a minimum stockholders' equity of $75 million and minimum market capitalization of $75 million.

In the event we fail to successfully implement our business plan and meet the prior NYSE criteria within 18 months from the time we submitted the plan, or we fail to meet any other current or revised listing criteria of the NYSE, our ordinary shares may be delisted from trading on The New York Stock Exchange. We cannot assure you that we will meet all NYSE criteria in the future. Delisting of our ordinary shares would result in limited availability of market price information and limited news coverage. In addition, delisting could diminish investors' interest in our ordinary shares as well as significantly reduce the liquidity and price of our ordinary shares. Delisting may also make it more difficult for us to issue additional securities or secure additional financing.

16

WE DEPEND ON OUR SUPPLIERS FOR MACHINERY; WE MAY EXPERIENCE DELAYS OR

ADDITIONAL COSTS SATISFYING OUR PRODUCTION REQUIREMENTS.

We purchase machinery and equipment, including the machinery used in our Hi-Tex manufacturing process, from sole suppliers. If our suppliers are not able to provide us with additional machinery or equipment as needed, we might not be able to increase our production to meet any growing demand for our products.

WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO PROTECT OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.

Our success is substantially dependent upon the adaptations and configurations we make to the machinery and equipment that we purchase and upon the manufacturing technologies and techniques that we have developed for our exclusive use. Only a part of the adaptations, configurations, technologies or techniques used in our manufacturing process is patented. Moreover, we purchase our machinery and equipment from third parties and we cannot assure that a competitor will not adapt, configure or otherwise utilize machinery or equipment in substantially the same manner as we do. Any replication of our manufacturing process by a competitor would significantly reduce our sales.

WE FACE POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST CAUSED BY INVESTOR INFLUENCE.

Our principal shareholders have a great deal of influence over the constitution of our Board of Directors and over matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders. As of August 10, 2004, Arie Wolfson, the Chairman of our Board of Directors, had direct voting power over approximately 6.34% of the outstanding ordinary shares of Tefron, not including options to acquire 150,000 ordinary shares of Tefron that have already vested. Mr. Wolfson is also the Chairman and a significant shareholder of Macpell Industries Ltd., an Israeli company that owns approximately 22.16% of the outstanding ordinary shares of Tefron as of August 10, 2004. Mr. Wolfson and Mr. Sigi Rabinowicz, a Director of Tefron, and another Macpell shareholder collectively own a controlling interest in Macpell, have entered into a shareholders' agreement regarding corporate actions of Macpell, including the process by which Macpell votes its ordinary shares of Tefron to elect our Directors. As a result, the corporate actions of Tefron may be influenced significantly by Messrs. Wolfson and Rabinowicz.

As of August 10, 2004, Norfet, Limited Partnership had voting power over approximately 28.76% of the outstanding ordinary shares of Tefron. In connection with the acquisition of Tefron ordinary shares by Norfet, Limited Partnership from the Company and from Arwol Holdings Ltd., an Israeli company wholly owned by Arie Wolfson, and from Macpell, each of Norfet, Limited Partnership, Arwol and Macpell have agreed to vote all of the Tefron ordinary shares owned or controlled by each of them for the election to the Company's nine-member Board of Directors of: (i) two members plus one independent director and one external director nominated by Norfet, Limited Partnership, (ii) two members plus one independent director and one external director nominated by Arwol and Macpell,

and (iii) the Company's chief executive officer.

We are party to a consulting and management services agreement with Mr. Wolfson and a company controlled by him, pursuant to which the company controlled by Mr. Wolfson has agreed to provide consultancy and management services to Tefron. We also engage in transactions with Macpell and its affiliates. We believe that the consulting and management agreement and these transactions are beneficial to us and are conducted upon terms which are no less favorable to us than those terms available to us from unaffiliated third parties. We intend to continue to engage in transactions with Macpell and its affiliates. We may be in direct or indirect competition with Macpell or its affiliates in the future. Moreover, opportunities to develop, manufacture or sell new products or market them to new customers may arise in the future and Macpell or its affiliates might pursue such opportunities while excluding us from, or competing with us for, such opportunities. We have also agreed to pay Norfet management fees for certain non-exclusive strategic guidance and consulting services.

17

Israeli companies law imposes procedures, including, for certain material transactions, a requirement of shareholder approval, as a precondition to entering into interested party transactions. These procedures may apply to transactions between us and any of our major shareholders, such as Norfet and Macpell. However, we cannot assure that we will be able to avoid the possible detrimental effects of any such conflicts of interest by complying with the procedures mandated by Israeli law.

WE ARE AFFECTED BY CONDITIONS TO, AND POSSIBLE REDUCTION OF, GOVERNMENT

PROGRAMS AND TAX BENEFITS

We benefit from certain Israeli Government programs and tax benefits, particularly as a result of the "Approved Enterprise" status of substantially

all of our existing production facilities in Israel. As a result of our "Approved Enterprise" status, we have been able to receive significant investment grants with respect to our capital expenditures. Following our exhaustion of our net operating loss carry forwards, we have been able to benefit from a reduced tax rate of 25% on earnings derived from these investments for which the benefit period has not expired. To maintain eligibility for these programs and tax benefits, we must continue to meet certain conditions, including making certain specified investments in fixed assets and conducting our operations in specified "Approved Enterprise" zones. If we fail to meet such conditions in the future, we could be required to refund tax benefits and grants already received, in whole or in part, with interest linked to the Consumer Price Index in Israel from the date of receipt. We have granted a security interest over all of our assets to secure our obligations to fulfill these conditions.

The Government of Israel has reduced the available amount of investment grants from up to 38% of eligible capital expenditures in 1996 to up to 24% of eligible capital expenditures (for projects not exceeding investments of 140 million shekels that are submitted in any year) and up to 20% of eligible capital expenditures (for projects exceeding investments of 140 million shekels that are submitted in any year) since 1997. There can be no assurance that the Israeli Government will not further reduce the availability of investment grants. The termination or reduction of certain programs and tax benefits, particularly benefits available to us as a result of the "Approved Enterprise" status of some of our existing facilities in Israel, would increase the costs of acquiring machinery and equipment for our production facilities and increase our effective tax rate which, in the aggregate, could have significantly reduce our profitability.

In addition, if the percentage of our foreign investment exceeds 25%, our Approved Enterprises would qualify for reduced tax rates for three years beyond the initial seven-year period. We cannot assure that we will obtain approval for additional Approved Enterprises, or that the provisions of the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959, as amended, will not change or that the 25% foreign investment percentage will be reached for any subsequent year.

We also benefit from exemptions from customs duties and import quotas due

to our location in Israel, Jordan (Qualified Industrial Zone) and Madagascar and the free trade agreements Israel maintains with the United States, Canada, the European Union and the European Free Trade Association. If there is a change in such benefits or if other countries enter into similar agreements and obtain similar benefits or if any such agreements were terminated, our profitability may be reduced.

18

WE FACE SEVERAL RISKS, INCLUDING POLITICAL, ECONOMIC, SOCIAL, CLIMATIC RISKS, ASSOCIATED WITH INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS.

Approximately 95% of our sales in 2003 were made to customers in the United States, and we intend to continue to expand our sales to customers in the United States and Europe. In addition, a substantial majority of our raw materials are purchased outside of Israel. Our international sales and purchases are affected by costs associated with shipping goods and risks inherent in doing business in international markets, including:

  • o changes in regulatory requirements;
  • o export restrictions, tariffs and other trade barriers;
  • o currency fluctuations;
  • o longer payment cycles;
  • o difficulties in collecting accounts receivable; and
  • o political instability and seasonal reductions in business activities.

Any of these risks could have a material adverse effect on our ability to deliver or receive goods on a competitive and timely basis and on our results of operations. We cannot assure that we will not encounter significant difficulties

in connection with the sale or procurement of goods in international markets in the future or that one or more of these factors will not significantly reduce our sales or profitability.

In addition, we may enter into joint ventures with third parties or establish operations outside of Israel that will subject us to additional operating risks. These risks may include diversion of management time and resources and the loss of management control over such operations and may subject us to the laws of such jurisdiction.

In addition to our production facilities in Israel, we currently have production facilities in Jordan and Madagascar and are in the process of shifting additional sewing production to Jordan to take advantage of lower labor costs. During the last quarter of 2003, disputes arose between us and the other shareholders in our joint subsidiaries that manage our operations in Madagascar. As a result, effectively, we lost our influence in those companies. We intend to terminate our partnership with these other shareholders and are currently exploring our options with respect to our continued operations in Madagascar.

Our ability to benefit from the lower labor costs will depend on the political, social and economic stability of these countries and in the Middle East and Africa in general. We cannot assure that the political, economic or social situation in these countries or in the Middle East and Africa in general will not have a material adverse effect on our operations, especially in light of the potential for hostilities in the Middle East. The success of the production facilities also will depend on the quality of the workmanship of laborers, and our ability to maintain good relations with such laborers, in these countries. We cannot guarantee that our operations in Madagascar or Jordan will be cost-efficient or successful.

19

Furthermore, Madagascar experiences wide climate variations and a yearly hurricane season generally between the months of November to March. These weather conditions could negatively affect our operations in Madagascar by, among other things, requiring us to delay or halt production, hindering our ability to transport raw materials to, and finished products from, the Madagascar production facility or even requiring us to replace or perform costly repairs to our equipment at the facility. We cannot assure that our operations will not be materially affected by weather conditions or natural disasters in any area where we maintain production facilities.

WE ARE SUBJECT TO VARIOUS RISKS RELATING TO OPERATIONS IN ISRAEL

We are incorporated under the laws of, and our main offices and manufacturing facilities are located in, the State of Israel. We are directly influenced by the political, economic and military conditions in Israel. Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, a number of armed conflicts have taken place between Israel and its Arab neighbors and a state of hostility, varying in degree and intensity, has led to security and economic problems for Israel. Any major hostilities involving Israel, the interruption or curtailment of trade between Israel and its trading partners or a significant downturn in the economic or financial condition of Israel could have a material adverse effect on our operations. Since October 2000, there has been a substantial deterioration in the relationship between Israel and the Palestinians which has resulted in increased violence. The future effect of this deterioration and violence on the Israeli economy and our operations is unclear. We cannot assure that ongoing or revived hostilities or other factors related to Israel will not have a material adverse effect on us or our business.

Generally, all male adult citizens and permanent residents of Israel under the age of 54, unless exempt, are obligated to perform up to 36 days of annual military reserve duty. Additionally, all such residents are subject to being called to active duty at any time under emergency circumstances. Some of our officers and employees are currently obligated to perform annual reserve duty. No assessment can be made as to the full impact of such requirements on our workforce or business if conditions in Israel should change, and no prediction can be made as to the effect of any expansion or reduction of such military obligations on us.

20

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Our disclosure in this prospectus (including documents incorporated by reference herein) contains "forward-looking statements." Forward-looking statements are our current expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historic or current facts. They use words such as "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "project," "intend," "plan," "believe," and other words and terms of similar meaning. These include statements, among others, relating to our planned future actions, our prospective products or product approvals, our beliefs with respect to the sufficiency of our cash and cash equivalents, plans with respect to funding operations, projected expense levels and the outcome of contingencies, such as future financial results.

Any or all of our forward-looking statements in this prospectus may turn out to be wrong. They can be affected by inaccurate assumptions we might make or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. Actual results may vary materially. The uncertainties that may cause differences include, but are not limited to:

  • o our customers' continued purchase of our products in the same volumes or on the same terms;

  • o the cyclical nature of the retail industry;

  • o the potential adverse effect on our future operating efficiency resulting from our new product lines and our manufacture of products in shorter production runs;

  • o the purchase of new equipment that may be necessary as a result of our expansion into new product lines;

  • o fluctuations in inflation and currency rates;

  • o our failure to generate sufficient cash from our operations to pay our debt;

  • o the limitations and restrictions imposed by our substantial debt obligations;

  • o the competitive nature of the intimate apparel and active-wear markets; and

  • o the fluctuating costs of raw materials.

In addition, you should note that our past financial and operation performance is not necessarily indicative of future financial and operational performance. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

21

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any proceeds from the sales of the Shares by the selling shareholder to others. However, we will receive proceeds from the issuance of the Shares to the selling shareholder. The purchase price to be paid by the selling shareholder will be at a discount of 6% to the market price of our ordinary shares. The "market price" will be calculated to be the average of the lowest closing prices for any four trading days (not necessarily consecutive) during the ten trading day period immediately following the date on which we deliver a written notice to the selling shareholder setting forth the dollar amount with respect to which we will require the selling shareholder to

purchase our ordinary shares.

OFFERING PRICE

The selling shareholder has advised us that it may sell the Shares offered by this prospectus at the prevailing market price at the time of such sales, at prices related to such prevailing market price, at negotiated prices, or at fixed prices. The actual number of Shares to be sold and the prices at which they will be sold will depend upon the market price at the time of those sales. Therefore, we have not included in this prospectus information about the price to the public.

OFFER AND LISTING DETAILS

Since the initial public offering of our ordinary shares on September 24, 1997, our ordinary shares have been traded on the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, under the symbol "TFR." Prior to the offering, there was no market for our ordinary shares. There is no non-United States trading market for our ordinary shares.

The high and low sales prices for our ordinary shares as reported on the NYSE during the first quarter of 2004 as well as for March and April 2004 and May 2004 (to date) are set forth below. Other information regarding the market price of our ordinary shares is located in our Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2003 filed with the SEC on April 1, 2004.

NOTICE REGARDING ARTHUR ANDERSEN LLP

Our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2001, which are incorporated in the registration statement on Form F-2 of which this prospectus forms a part, were audited by Luboshitz, Kasierer & Co., a member firm of Arthur Andersen ("Andersen"), as set forth in its audit report thereon. On August 5, 2002, we appointed Kost Forer & Gabbay (now known as Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer), a member firm of Ernst & Young International, to replace Andersen, as our independent auditors.

Section 11(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, provides that if any part of a registration statement at the time it becomes effective contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, any person acquiring a security pursuant to the registration statement (unless it is proved that at the time of the acquisition the person knew of the untruth or omission) may sue, among others, every accountant who has consented to be named as having prepared or certified any part of the registration statement or as having prepared or certified any report or valuation which is used in connection with the registration statement with respect to the statement in the registration statement, report or valuation which purports to have been prepared or certified by the accountant.

Prior to the date of this prospectus, the Andersen partner who reviewed our most recent audited financial statements resigned from Andersen. In response to our requests for Andersen's consent to include its audit report in the registration statement on Form F-2, of which this prospectus forms a part, a representative of Andersen advised us that Andersen would not provide consents where the Andersen audit partner was no longer with Andersen. As a result, after reasonable efforts, we have been unable to obtain Andersen's written consent to the incorporation by reference into this registration statement of Andersen's audit reports with respect to our financial statements.

Under these circumstances, Rule 437a promulgated under the Securities Act permits us to file this registration statement without a written consent from Andersen. Accordingly, Andersen will not be liable to you under Section 11(a) of the Securities Act because it has not consented to being named as an expert in the registration statement.

SELLING SHAREHOLDER

This prospectus and the registration statement of which it is a part cover the resale of the Shares to be issued to the selling shareholder pursuant to a Private Equity Credit Agreement between Tefron and the selling shareholder, dated as of March 9, 2004. We have agreed to prepare and file a registration statement on Form F-2 with the SEC covering the Shares as set forth in the table below. The registration statement to which this prospectus relates has been filed with the SEC pursuant to this agreement. We have also agreed to maintain the effectiveness of this registration statement to allow the selling shareholder to sell the Shares covered by this prospectus until the earlier to occur of (1) the date that is one year after the completion of the last closing date under the Private Equity Credit Agreement, (2) the date the selling shareholder may sell all ordinary shares covered by the Registration Rights Agreement under the provisions of Rule 144 without limitation as to volume, or (3) the date that the selling shareholder no longer owns any of the ordinary shares covered by the Registration Rights Agreement. The selling shareholder currently holds no ordinary shares of Tefron, and to the best of our knowledge, prior to our drawing on the equity line, the selling shareholder will hold no ordinary shares of Tefron.

The following table provides information about the actual and potential ownership of our ordinary shares by the selling shareholder in connection with the equity line credit facility as of April 28, 2004, and the number of our shares registered for sale in this prospectus. The number of ordinary shares issuable under the equity line credit facility varies according to the market price at and immediately preceding the put date. Solely for purposes of estimating the number of ordinary shares that would be issuable to the selling shareholder as set forth in the table below, we have assumed a hypothetical put by us on September 17, 2004, of 2,470,021 ordinary shares (which equals 19.9% of our outstanding ordinary shares as of the date we entered into the Private Equity Credit Agreement) under the equity line credit facility at a per share price of approximately $4.20. The actual per share price and the number of shares issuable upon actual puts by us could differ substantially. This prospectus and the registration statement of which it is a part covers the resale of up to 2,470,021 of our ordinary shares.

Under the terms and conditions of the equity line credit facility, the selling shareholder is prohibited from having shares put to it to the extent such put by us would result in that person beneficially owning more than 4.99% of our then outstanding ordinary shares following such put. This restriction does not prevent the selling shareholder from receiving and selling put shares and thereafter receiving additional put shares. In this way, the selling shareholder could sell more than 4.99% of our outstanding ordinary shares in a relatively short time frame while never beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the outstanding ordinary shares at any one time. For purposes of calculating the number of ordinary shares issuable to the selling shareholder assuming a put of 19.9% of our outstanding ordinary shares under the equity line credit facility, as set forth below, the effect of such 4.99% limitation has been disregarded. The number of shares issuable to the selling shareholder as described in the table below therefore may exceed the actual number of shares the selling shareholder may be entitled to beneficially own under the equity line credit

facility.

The following information is not determinative of the selling shareholder's beneficial ownership of our ordinary shares pursuant to Rule 13d-3 or any other provision under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Neither selling shareholder nor any of its affiliates has held any position or office with, been employed by or otherwise has had any material relationship with us or our affiliates during the three years prior to the date of this prospectus.

(1) Based on 17,016,847 ordinary shares outstanding as of September 17, 2004. As noted above, the selling shareholder is prohibited by the terms of the equity line credit facility from having shares put to it to the extent that such put of shares by us would result in the selling shareholder beneficially owning more than 4.99% of our then outstanding ordinary shares following such put. The percentage set forth is not determinative of the selling shareholder's beneficial ownership of our ordinary shares pursuant to Rule 13d-3 or any other provision under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The percentage may change based on the selling shareholder's decision to sell or hold the Shares.

(2) The registration statement of which this prospectus is a part covers up to 2,470,021 ordinary shares issuable under the equity line credit facility. Because the specific circumstances of the issuances under the equity line credit facility are not ascertainable at this time, the precise total number of our ordinary shares offered by the selling shareholder cannot be fixed at this time, but cannot exceed 2,470,021, which is the maximum number of ordinary shares that may be issued under the Private Equity Credit Agreement. The amount set forth represents the number of our ordinary shares that would be issuable, and hence offered hereby, assuming a put of the 19.9% of our outstanding ordinary shares (as of the date we entered into the Private Equity Credit Agreement) to the selling shareholder under the equity line credit facility as of September 17, 2004. The actual number of our ordinary shares offered hereby may differ

according to the actual number of shares issued upon such puts.

(3) Consists of 2,470,021 ordinary shares issuable upon a hypothetical put of 19.9% of our outstanding ordinary shares (as of the date we entered into the Private Equity Credit Agreement) under the equity line credit facility as of September 17, 2004.

(4) Assumes a hypothetical draw of 19.9% of our outstanding ordinary shares (as of the date we entered into the Private Equity Credit Agreement) under the equity line credit facility as of September 17, 2004, which equals 2,470,021 of our ordinary shares. There is no assurance that the selling shareholder will sell any or all of the shares offered hereby. However, the selling shareholder is contractually prohibited from holding shares, and we are contractually prohibited from putting shares to the selling shareholder that would cause the selling shareholder to hold shares, in excess of 4.99% of our then-issued ordinary shares.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Our authorized capital is NIS 50,000,000 consisting of 49,995,000 ordinary shares, par value NIS 1 per share, and 4,500 deferred shares, par value NIS 1 per share.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We are registering the Shares covered by this prospectus for the selling shareholder. We will receive no proceeds from the sale of Shares in this offering. The selling shareholder may sell any or all of the Shares for value at any time or from time to time under this prospectus in one or more transactions on the New York Stock Exchange or any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the ordinary shares are traded, in a negotiated transaction or in a combination of such methods of sale, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at prices otherwise negotiated. The selling shareholder will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. The selling shareholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling Shares:

  • o ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
  • o block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the Shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
  • o purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
  • o an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
  • o privately negotiated transactions;
  • o underwritten offerings;
  • o short sales;

27

  • o agreements by the broker-dealer and the selling shareholder to sell a specified number of such Shares at a stipulated price per Share;
  • o a combination of any such methods of sale; or
  • o any other method permitted by applicable law.

The selling shareholder may also sell Shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, under Section 4(1) of the Securities Act or directly to us in certain circumstances rather than under this prospectus.

Unless otherwise prohibited, the selling shareholder may enter into hedging

transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions in connection with distributions of the Shares or otherwise. In such transactions, broker-dealers or financial institutions may engage in short sales of the Shares in the course of hedging the position they assume with the selling shareholder. The selling shareholder may also engage in short sales, puts and calls, forward-exchange contracts, collars and other transactions in our securities or derivatives of our securities and may sell or deliver Shares in connection with these trades. If the selling shareholder sell shares short, they may redeliver the Shares to close out such short positions. The selling shareholder may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or financial institutions which require the delivery to the broker-dealer or the financial institution of the Shares. The broker-dealer or financial institution may then resell or otherwise transfer such Shares pursuant to this prospectus. In addition, the selling shareholder may loan their Shares to broker-dealers or financial institutions who are counterparties to hedging transactions and the broker-dealers, financial institutions or counterparties may sell the borrowed Shares into the public market. The selling shareholder may also pledge their Shares to their brokers or financial institutions and under the margin loan the broker or financial institution may, from time to time, offer and sell the pledged Shares. The selling shareholder have advised us that they have not entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriters, broker-dealers or financial institutions regarding the sale of their Shares other than ordinary course brokerage arrangements, nor is there an underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of Shares by the selling shareholder.

Broker-dealers or agents may receive compensation in the form of commissions, discounts or concessions from the selling shareholder in amounts to be negotiated in connection with the sale. Such broker-dealers and any other participating broker-dealers are deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act, in connection with such Sales and any such commission, discount or concession may be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. The selling shareholders is an underwriter with respect to its resales of the Shares.

All costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the Shares will be borne by us. Commissions and discounts, if any, attributable to the sales of the Shares will be borne by the selling shareholder. The selling shareholder may agree to indemnify any broker-dealer or agent that participates in transactions involving sales of the Shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933..

We have advised the selling shareholder that the anti-manipulation rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 may apply to sales of our ordinary shares in the market and to the activities of the selling shareholder and its affiliates. In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling shareholder and have informed it of the need for delivery of copies of this prospectus to purchasers at or prior to the time of any sale of the Shares offered hereby.

28

There is no assurance that the selling shareholder will sell all or any portion of the Shares offered under this prospectus. Because it is possible that a significant number of Shares could be sold simultaneously by means of this prospectus, such sales, or the possibility thereof, may have an adverse effect on the market price of our ordinary shares.

REGULATION M

We have advised the selling shareholder that during any period when they may be engaged in a distribution of the Shares covered by this prospectus, they may be required to comply with Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act. With certain exceptions, Regulation M precludes any selling shareholder, any affiliated purchaser and any broker-dealer or other individual who participates in a distribution of securities from bidding for or purchasing, or attempting to induce any individual to bid for or purchase, any security that is the subject of the distribution until such person's participation in the distribution is complete. Regulation M also prohibits bids or purchases made in order to stabilize the price of a security in connection with the distribution of that

security, subject to certain exceptions. All of these factors may affect the marketability of our ordinary shares.

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

Service of process upon us and upon our directors and officers and the Israeli experts named in this prospectus, most of whom reside outside the United States, may be difficult to obtain within the United States. Furthermore, because all of our assets and most of our directors and officers are located outside the United States, any judgment obtained in the United States against us or any of our directors and officers may not be collectible within the United States.

30

We have been informed by our legal counsel in Israel, Gross, Kleinhendler, Hodak, Halevy, Greenberg & Co., that there is doubt concerning the enforceability of civil liabilities under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act in original actions instituted in Israel. However, subject to specified time limitations, Israeli courts may enforce a United States final executory judgment in a civil matter, including a monetary or compensatory judgment in a non-civil matter, obtained after due process before a court of competent jurisdiction according to the laws of the state in which the judgment is given and if the rules of enforcing foreign judgments prevailing in Israel enable its enforcement. The rules of enforcing foreign judgments currently prevailing in Israel do not prohibit the enforcement of a U.S. judgment by Israeli courts provided that:

  • o the judgment is enforceable in the state in which it was given;
  • o adequate service of process has been effected and the defendant has had a reasonable opportunity to present his arguments and evidence;
  • o enforcement of the judgment is not contrary to the security or sovereignty of the State of Israel;
  • o the content of the judgment is not contrary to public policy;
  • o the judgment was not obtained by fraud;
  • o the judgment does not conflict with any other valid judgment in the same matter between the same parties;
  • o an action between the same parties in the same matter is not pending in any Israeli court at the time the lawsuit is instituted in the foreign court; and
  • o the judgment was not issued by an incompetent court under the rules of

private international law prevailing in Israel.

We have irrevocably appointed CT Corporation System as our agent to receive service of process in any action against us in any federal court or court of the State of New York arising out of this offering or any purchase or sale of securities in connection with this offering.

If a foreign judgment is enforced by an Israeli court, it generally will be payable in Israeli currency, which can then be converted into non-Israeli currency and transferred out of Israel. The usual practice in an action before an Israeli court to recover an amount in a non-Israeli currency is for the Israeli court to issue a judgment for the equivalent amount in Israeli currency at the rate of exchange in force on the date of the judgment, but the judgment debtor may make payment in foreign currency. Pending collection, the amount of the judgment of an Israeli court stated in Israeli currency ordinarily will be linked to the Israeli consumer price index plus interest at an annual statutory rate set by Israeli regulations prevailing at the time. Judgment creditors must bear the risk of unfavorable exchange rates.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

ITEM 8. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

The Israeli Companies Law 1999 provides that an Israeli company cannot exculpate an office holder from liability with respect to a breach of his duty of loyalty, but may exculpate in advance an office holder from his liability to the company, in whole or in part, with respect to a breach of his duty of care. Our Articles of Association provide that subject to any restrictions imposed by the Companies Law, we may enter into a contract for the insurance of the liability of any of its directors and office holders with respect to:

  • o a breach of his duty of care to us or to another person;
  • o a breach of his duty of loyalty to us, provided that the office holder acted in good faith and had reasonable cause to assume that his act would not prejudice our interests; or
  • o a financial liability imposed upon him in favor of another person in respect of an act performed by him in his capacity as an office holder.

Our Articles of Association also include the following provisions:

  • o a provision authorizing us to grant in advance an undertaking to indemnify an office holder, provided that the undertaking is limited to types of events that the board of directors deems to be anticipated and limited to an amount determined by the board of directors to be reasonable under the circumstances;
  • o a provision authorizing us to retroactively indemnify an office holder;
  • o a provision authorizing us to indemnify an office holder against a financial liability imposed on him in favor of another person by any judgment, including a settlement or an arbitrator's award approved by a court in respect of an act performed in his capacity as an office holder; and
  • o a provision authorizing us to indemnify an office holder against reasonable litigation expenses, including attorneys' fees, expended by such office holder or charged to him by a court, in proceedings we institutes against him, or instituted on our behalf or by another person, or in a criminal charge from which he was acquitted, all in respect of an act performed in his capacity as an office holder.

These provisions are specifically limited in their scope by the Israeli Companies Law 1999, which provides that a company may not indemnify an office holder for, nor enter into an insurance contract that would provide coverage for any monetary liability incurred as a result of, any of the following:

  • o a breach by the office holder of his duty of loyalty unless the office holder acted in good faith and had a reasonable basis to believe that the act would not prejudice the company;
  • o a breach by the office holder of his duty of care if such breach was done intentionally or in disregard of the circumstances of the breach or its consequences;

  • o any act or omission done with the intent to derive an illegal personal benefit; or
  • o any fine levied against the office holder as a result of a criminal offense.

In addition, pursuant to the Israeli Companies Law 1999, indemnification of and procurement of insurance coverage for our office holders must be approved by its audit committee and board of directors and, for indemnification and insurance for directors, also by its shareholders.

We have obtained directors' and officers' liability insurance covering our officers and directors and those of our subsidiaries for claims arising from wrongful acts they committed in their capacity as an officer or a director.

ITEM 10. UNDERTAKINGS

The Registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:

(i) include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

(ii) reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or for the most recent post-effective amendment hereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement.

(iii) include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) To file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement to include any financial statements required by Item 8.A. of Form 20-F at the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering. Financial statements and information otherwise required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act need not be furnished, provided, that the registrant includes in the prospectus, by means of a post-effective amendment, financial statements required pursuant to this paragraph (a)(4) and other information necessary to ensure that all other information in the prospectus is at least as current as the date of those

financial statements.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Tefron Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel (the "Company"), in connection with its filing of an Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form F-2 (File No. 333-115413) (the "Registration Statement") under the Securities Act of 1933, relating to the registration for resale by a selling shareholder of the Company of 2,470,021 of the Company's ordinary shares, par value NIS 1.0 per share.

In our capacity as counsel to the Company, we have examined originals or copies, satisfactory to us, of the Company's Articles of Association, resolutions of the Company's Audit Committee and Board of Directors provided to us by the Company and the Private Equity Credit Agreement by and between the Company and Brittany Capital Management Limited, the selling shareholder. In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity with the original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies or facsimiles. As to any facts material to such opinion, to the extent that we did not independently establish relevant facts, we have relied on certificates of public officials and certificates of officers

or other representatives of the Company. We are admitted to practice law in the State of Israel and the opinion expressed herein is expressly limited to the laws of the State of Israel.

On the basis of the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the 2,470,021 ordinary shares being registered pursuant to the Registration Statement, when issued and paid for in accordance with the Private Equity Credit Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable under Israeli law.

It is our understanding that this opinion is to be used only in connection with the offer and sale of the shares while the Registration Statement is in effect.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.

Very truly yours,
