INTRODUCTION

We  are  an  Israel  based  defense  electronics  company.  We  specialize  in  the  development,  manufacturing,  marketing  and 
sales  of  military  avionics  systems  and  inertial  navigation  systems  for  manned  and  unmanned  aircraft,  and  tactical  land 
radars for force and border protection applications.

Our  shares  are  traded  on  the  NASDAQ  Capital  Market  under  the  symbol  “RADA.”  As  used  in  this  annual  report,  the 
terms “we,” “us” and “our” mean RADA Electronic Industries Ltd. and its subsidiaries, unless otherwise indicated.

Our consolidated financial statements appearing in this annual report are prepared in U.S. dollars and in accordance with 
generally  accepted  accounting  principles  in  the  United  States,  or  U.S.  GAAP.  All  references  in  this  annual  report  to 
“dollars” or “$” are to U.S. dollars and all references in this annual report to “NIS” are to New Israeli Shekels.

Statements  made  in  this  annual  report  concerning  the  contents  of  any  contract,  agreement  or  other  document  are 
summaries of such contracts, agreements or documents and are not complete descriptions of all of their terms. If we filed 
any  of  these  documents  as  an  exhibit  to  this  annual  report  or  to  any  previous  filing  with  the  Securities  and  Exchange 
Commission, or the SEC, you may read the document itself for a complete recitation of its terms.

Except  for  the  historical  information  contained  in  this  annual  report,  the  statements  contained  in  this  annual  report  are 
“forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 
21E  of  the  Securities  Exchange  Act  of  1934,  as  amended,  or  the  Exchange  Act,  and  the  Private  Securities  Litigation 
Reform  Act  of  1995,  as  amended,  with  respect  to  our  business,  financial  condition  and  results  of  operations.  Such 
forward-looking  statements  reflect  our  current  view  with  respect  to  future  events  and  financial  results.  We  urge  you  to 
consider  that  statements  which  use  the  terms  “anticipate,”  “believe,”  “do  not  believe,”  “expect,”  “plan,”  “intend,” 
“estimate,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We remind readers that forward-
looking statements are merely predictions and therefore inherently subject to uncertainties and other factors and involve 
known  and  unknown  risks  that  could  cause  the  actual  results,  performance,  levels  of  activity,  or  our  achievements,  or 
industry  results,  to  be  materially  different  from  any  future  results,  performance,  levels  of  activity,  or  our  achievements 
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are also included in Item 4 – 
“Information on the Company” and Item 5 – “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects.” Readers are cautioned not 
to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. Except as required by 
applicable  law,  including  the  securities  laws  of  the  United  States,  we  undertake  no  obligation  to  publicly  release  any 
update  or  revision  to  any  forward-looking  statements  to  reflect  new  information,  future  events  or  circumstances,  or 
otherwise after the date hereof. We have attempted to identify significant uncertainties and other factors affecting forward-
looking statements in the Risk Factors section that appears in Item 3D. “Key Information - Risk Factors.”

D. Risk Factors

Investing in our ordinary shares involves a high degree of risk and uncertainty. You should carefully consider the risks 
and uncertainties described below before investing in our ordinary shares. Our business, prospects, financial condition 
and  results  of  operations  could  be  adversely  affected  due  to  any  of  the  following  risks.  In  that  case,  the  value  of  our 
ordinary shares could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Related to Our Business and Our Industry

We have a history of operating losses and although we returned to profitability in 2017, we may not be able to sustain 
profitable operations in the future. To the extent that we continue to incur operating losses in the future, we may not 
have sufficient working capital to fund our operations.

We  incurred  operating  losses  in  three  of  the  five  years  ended  December  31,  2017.  Although  we  achieved  an  operating 
profit of $ 1.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2017, we may not be able to achieve or sustain profitable operations 
in the future or generate positive cash flows from operations. As of December 31, 2017, our accumulated deficit was $77 
million  and  we  had  cash,  cash  equivalents  and  short-term  bank  deposits  of  $12.4  million,  compared  to  cash,  cash 
equivalents and short-term bank deposits of $1.2 million as of December 31, 2016. Based on our current operations, we 
believe our existing funds will be sufficient to fund our operations in 2018. To the extent that we incur operating losses in 
the future or are unable to generate free cash flows from our business, we may not have sufficient working capital to fund 
our operations and will be required to obtain additional financing. Such financing may not be available, or if available, 
may not be on terms satisfactory to us. If adequate funds are not available to us, our business, and results of operations and 
financial condition will be adversely affected.

2

We may need to raise additional capital in the future, which may substantially dilute the holdings of our shareholders.

In  order  to  obtain  working  capital  for  our  operations  and  to  repay  the  outstanding  debt  due  to  our  then  principal 
shareholder,  we  completed  a  follow-on  public  offering  of  3,455,284  ordinary  shares,  offered  at  a  price  to  the  public  of 
$2.46 per share on July 30, 2015. We then entered into an investment transaction with DBSI Investments Ltd., or DBSI, 
on  May  18,  2016,  according  to  which  we  sold  8,510,638  ordinary  shares to  DBSI  for  $4  million, reflecting  a  price  per 
share of $0.47. We also issued to DBSI, without additional consideration, warrants to purchase 4,255,319 ordinary shares 
at an exercise price per share of $0.47 (or $2 million in the aggregate) exercisable for a period of 24 months and warrants 
to purchase 3,636,363 ordinary shares at an exercise price per share of $0.55 (or $2 million in the aggregate) exercisable 
for  a  period  of  48  months.  DBSI  also  agreed  to  provide  our  company  with  a  three-year  $3,175,000  convertible  loan 
bearing interest of Libor plus 6%, which was funded on June 16, 2016 and was used to repay the outstanding convertible 
loan and accrued interest owed to an entity owned by our former principal shareholder, Mr. Howard Yeung. In November 
2016,  we  sold  1,904,762  of  our  ordinary  shares  to  The  Phoenix  Insurance  Company  Ltd.  and  its  affiliate,  Shotfut-
Menayot-Israel-HaPhoenix Amitim Ltd., two Israeli institutional investors, at a price of $1.05 per share, or approximately 
$2 million in the aggregate. At the same time, DBSI invested an additional $1 million in our company through the exercise 
of 2,127,660 warrants. On August 23, 2017 we sold 4,604,500 of our ordinary shares to Israeli institutional investors, at a 
price of $2.15 per share, pursuant to prospectus and an agreement dated August 18, 2017, entered into with each of the 
investors. As of March 2018, DBSI has paid us 4 million to exercise warrants to purchase 7,891,683 ordinary shares. In 
August  2017,  DBSI  converted  the  convertible  loan  and  purchased  1,322,917  ordinary  shares.  We  may  need  additional 
working capital in the future to fund our operations. Such financing may not be available, or if available, may not be on 
terms  satisfactory  to  us.  If  adequate  funds  are  not  available  to  us,  our  business,  and  results  of  operations  and  financial 
condition will be adversely affected.

Competition in the market for defense electronics is intense. Our products may not achieve market acceptance, which 
could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The  market  for  our  products  is  highly  competitive  and  we  may  not  be  able  to  compete  effectively  in  our  market.  Our 
principal  competitors  in  the  defense  electronics  market,  include  Elbit  Systems  Ltd.,  United  Technologies  Aerospace 
Systems, Honeywell International Inc., Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd., or IAI, Northrop Grumman Corporation, Sagem 
Avionics  LLC,  Thales  Group,  Zodiac  Aerospace  Group  and  SRC  Inc.  We  expect  to  continue  to  face  competition  from 
these and other competitors. Most of our competitors are larger and have substantially greater resources than us, including 
financial, technological, marketing and distribution capabilities, and enjoy greater market recognition than we do. These 
competitors are able to achieve greater economies of scale and may be less vulnerable to price competition than us. We 
may not be able to offer our products as part of integrated systems to the same extent as our competitors or successfully 
develop or introduce new products that are more cost effective or offer better performance than those of our competitors. 
Failure to do so could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may not be able to implement our growth strategy which could adversely affect our business, financial condition 
and results of operations.

In  line  with  our  growth  strategy,  we  entered  into  a  number  of  strategic  relationships  with  Embraer  S.A.,  or  Embraer, 
Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd., or HAL, IAI, Lockheed Martin Corporation, or Lockheed Martin, Boeing Defense, Space & 
Security, or Boeing, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd., or Rafael, IMI Systems Ltd., or IMI, and Leonardo DRS, or 
DRS  and  SAZE  Technologies  LLC.,  or  SAZE,  to  increase  our  penetration  into  the  defense  electronics  market.  We  are 
currently investing and intend to continue to invest significant resources to develop these relationships and additional new 
relationships. Should our relationships fail to materialize into significant agreements or should we fail to work efficiently 
with these companies, we may lose sales and marketing opportunities and our business, results of operations and financial 
condition could be adversely affected.

Our growth is dependent in part on the development of new products, based on internal research and development. We 
may not accurately identify market needs before we invest in the development of a new product. In addition, we might 
face difficulties or delays in the development process that will result in our inability to timely offer products that satisfy 
the market and competing products may emerge during the development and certification process.

3

While we have met with initial success in the introduction of our advanced ground radars for tactical applications such 
as defense forces protection and border protection, there can be no assurance that we will succeed in obtaining general 
market acceptance or that we will ever recover our investment in this new product family.

We have developed a number of radar hardware platforms for use in combat vehicles and tactical protection applications 
for  defense  forces  and  border  protection.  In  December  2014,  we  announced  the  first  significant  order  for  this  product 
family, a $4.5 million order from the Israel Ministry of Defense. To date, we have received over $20 million in orders for 
our ground radar products, but cannot assure you that our ground radars will achieve broad market acceptance.

Reductions  in  defense  budgets  worldwide  may  cause  a  reduction  in  our  revenues,  which  would  adversely  affect  our 
business, operating results and financial condition.

Substantially all of our revenues are derived from the sale of products with military applications. These revenues totaled 
approximately $26.1 million, or 100% of our revenues in 2017, $12.8 million, or 100% of our revenues, in the year ended 
December  31,  2016  and  $14.1  million,  or  99.9%  of  our  revenues,  in  the  year  ended  December  31,  2015.  The  defense 
budgets of a number of countries have declined and may be reduced in the future. Declines in defense budgets may result 
in  reduced  demand  for  our  products  and  manufacturing  services.  This  would  result  in  reduction  in  our  core  business’ 
revenues and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Unfavorable national and global economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating 
results and financial condition.

During periods of slowing economic activity, our customers may reduce their demand for our products, technology and 
professional services, which would reduce our sales, and our business, operating results and financial condition may be 
adversely  affected.  The  global  and  domestic  economies  continue  to  face  a  number  of  economic  challenges,  including 
threatened  sovereign  defaults,  credit  downgrades,  restricted  credit  for  businesses  and  consumers  and  potentially  falling 
demand for a variety of products and services. These developments, or the perception that any of them could occur, could 
result in longer sales cycles, slower adoption of new technologies and increased price competition for our products and 
services. We could also be exposed to credit risk and payment delinquencies on our accounts receivable, which are not 
covered by collateral.

Significant  portions  of  our  operations  are  conducted  outside  the  markets  in  which  our  products  and  solutions  are 
manufactured or generally sold, and accordingly, we often export a substantial number of products into such markets. We 
may, therefore, be denied access to potential customers or suppliers or denied the ability to ship products from any of our 
subsidiaries  into  the  countries  in  which  we  currently  operate  or  wish  to  operate,  as  a  result  of  economic,  legislative, 
political and military conditions, including hostilities and acts of terrorism, in such countries.

We may also be required in the future to increase our reserves for doubtful accounts. In addition, the fair value of some of 
our  assets  may  decrease as  a  result  of  an  uncertain  economy and  as  a result,  we  may  be  required  to  record  impairment 
charges in the future. If global economic and market conditions or economic conditions in key markets remain uncertain 
or weaken further, our financial condition and operating results may be materially adversely affected.

Sales  of  our  products  are  subject  to  governmental  procurement  procedures  and  practices;  termination,  reduction  or 
modification of contracts with our customers or a substantial decrease in our customers’ budgets may adversely affect 
our business, operating results and financial condition.

Our products are primarily sold to governmental agencies, governmental authorities and government-owned companies, 
many of which have complex and time-consuming procurement procedures. A substantial time often elapses from the time 
we  begin  marketing  a  product  until  we  actually  sell  that  product  to  a  particular  customer.  In  addition,  our  sales  to 
governmental agencies, authorities and companies are directly affected by these customers’ budgetary constraints and the 
priority given in their budgets to the procurement of our products. A decrease in governmental funding for our customers’ 
budgets  would  adversely  affect  our  results  of  operations.  This  risk  is  heightened  during  periods  of  global  economic 
slowdown. Accordingly, governmental purchases of our systems, products and services may decline in the future as the 
governmental purchasing agencies may terminate, reduce or modify contracts or subcontracts if:

4

● their requirements or budgetary constraints change;

● they cancel multi-year contracts and related orders if funds become unavailable;

● they shift spending priorities into other areas or for other products; or

● they adjust contract costs and fees on the basis of audits.

Any such event may have a material adverse effect on us.

Further, our business with the State of Israel and other governmental entities is, in general, subject to delays in funding 
and performance of contracts and the termination for convenience (among other reasons) of contracts or subcontracts with 
governmental entities. The termination, reduction or modification of our contracts or subcontracts with the Government of 
Israel  in  the  event  of  change  in  requirements,  policies  or  budgetary  constraints  would  have  an  adverse  effect  on  our 
business, operating results and financial condition.

If we do not receive the governmental approvals necessary for the export of our products, our revenues may decrease. 
Similarly,  if  our  suppliers  and  partners  do  not  receive  government  approvals  necessary  to  export  their  products  or 
designs to us, our revenues may decrease and we may fail to implement our growth strategy.

Israel’s defense export policy regulates the sale of our systems and products. Current Israeli policy encourages export to 
approved  customers  of  defense  systems  and  products,  such  as  ours,  as  long  as  the  export  is  consistent  with  Israeli 
government policy. A license is required to initiate marketing activities. We are also required to obtain a specific export 
license  for  any  hardware  exported  from  Israel.  We  may  not  be  able  to  receive  all  the  required  permits  and  licenses  for 
which  we  may  apply  in  the  future.  If  we  do  not  receive  the  required  permits  for  which  we  apply,  our  revenues  may 
decrease.

We are subject to laws regulating export of “dual use” items (items that are typically sold in the commercial market, but 
that  also  may  be  used  in  the  defense  market)  and  defense  export  control  legislation.  Additionally,  our  participation  in 
governmental procurement processes in Israel and other countries is subject to specific regulations governing the conduct 
of  the  process  of  procuring  defense  contracts.  Furthermore,  solicitations  for  procurements  by  governmental  purchasing 
agencies in Israel and other countries are governed by laws, regulations and procedures relating to procurement integrity, 
including avoiding conflicts of interest and corruption in the procurement process. We may not be able to respond quickly 
and effectively to changing laws and regulations and any failure to comply with such laws and regulations may subject us 
to significant liability and penalties.

We  depend  on  sales  to  key  customers  and  the  loss  of  one  or  more  of  our  key  customers  would  result  in  a  loss  of  a 
significant  amount  of  our  revenues,  which  would  adversely  affect  our  business,  financial  condition  and  results  of 
operations.

A significant portion of our revenues is derived from a small number of customers. During the years ended December 31, 
2017 and 2016, 74% and 83% of our revenues, respectively, were attributable to seven customers. We anticipate that a 
significant  portion  of  our  future  revenues  will  continue  to  be  derived  from  sales  to  a  small  number  of  customers.  No 
assurances can be given that our customers will continue to purchase our products, that we will be successful in any bid 
for new contracts to provide such products, or that if we are granted subsequent orders, such orders would be of a scope 
comparable to the sales that we have experienced to date. If our principal customers do not continue to purchase products 
from us at current levels or if we do not retain such customers and we are not able to derive sufficient revenues from sales 
to  new  customers  to  compensate  for  their  loss,  our  revenues  would  be  reduced  and  adversely  affect  our  business,  cash 
flows, financial condition and results of operations.

5

We depend on suppliers of components for our products and if we are unable to obtain these components when needed, 
we could experience delays in the manufacturing of our products and our financial results could be adversely affected.

We  acquire  most  of  the  components  for  the  manufacturing  of  our  products  from  suppliers  and  subcontractors,  most  of 
whom are located in Israel and the United States. A number of these suppliers are currently the sole source of one or more 
components upon which we  are  dependent.  Suppliers  of some of  the  components  for manufacturing  require us  to place 
orders with significant lead-time to assure supply in accordance with our manufacturing requirements. Delays in supply 
may significantly hurt our ability to fulfill our contractual obligations and may significantly hurt our business and result of 
operations. In addition, we may not be able to continue to obtain such components from these suppliers on satisfactory 
commercial  terms.  Temporary  disruptions  of  our  manufacturing  operations  would  ensue  if  we  were  required  to  obtain 
components from alternative sources, which may have an adverse effect on our financial results.

Rapid  technological  changes  may  adversely  affect  the  market  acceptance  of  our  products  and  could  adversely  affect 
our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The defense electronics market in which we compete is subject to technological changes, introduction of new products, 
change  in  customer  demands  and  evolving  industry  standards.  Our  future  success  will  depend  upon  our  ability  to  keep 
pace  with  technological  developments  and  to  timely  address  the  increasingly  sophisticated  needs  of  our  customers  by 
supporting existing and new technologies and by developing and introducing enhancements to our current products and 
new products. We may not be successful in developing and marketing enhancements to our products that will respond to 
technological change, evolving industry standards or customer requirements. In addition, we may experience difficulties 
that  could  delay  or  prevent  the  successful  development,  introduction  and  sale  of  such  enhancements  and  such 
enhancements  may not adequately meet the requirements  of the market and may  not achieve any significant degrees  of 
market  acceptance.  If  release  dates  of  our  new  products  or  enhancements  are  delayed  or,  if  when  released,  they  fail  to 
achieve market acceptance, our business, operating results and financial condition may be adversely affected.

We enter into fixed-price contracts that could expose us to losses in the event we fail to properly estimate our costs.

We enter into firm fixed-price contracts. If our initial cost estimates are incorrect, we can lose money on these contracts. 
Because many of these contracts involve new technologies, unforeseen events, such as technological difficulties and other 
cost overruns, can result in the contract pricing becoming less favorable or even unprofitable to us and have an adverse 
impact on our financial results.

Breaches  of  network  or  information  technology  security,  natural  disasters  or  terrorist attacks could  have  an adverse 
effect on our business.

Cyber-attacks  or  other  breaches  of  network  or  IT  security,  natural  disasters,  terrorist  acts  or  acts  of  war  may  cause 
equipment  failures  or  disrupt  our  systems  and  operations.  We  may  be  subject  to  attempts  to  breach  the  security  of  our 
networks and IT infrastructure through cyber attack, malware, computer viruses and other means of unauthorized access. 
The  potential  liabilities  associated  with  these  events  could  exceed  the  insurance  coverage  we  maintain.  Our  inability  to 
operate our facilities as a result of such events, even for a limited period of time, may result in significant expenses or loss 
of  market  share  to  other  competitors  in  the  defense  electronics  market.  In  addition,  a  failure  to  protect  the  privacy  of 
customer  and  employee  confidential  data  against  breaches  of  network  or  IT  security  could  result  in  damage  to  our 
reputation.  To  date,  we  have  not  been  subject  to  cyber-attacks  or  other  cyber  incidents  which,  individually  or  in  the 
aggregate, resulted in a material impact to our operations or financial condition.

6

We  are  subject  to  risks  associated  with  international  operations;  we  generate  a  significant  portion  of  our  sales  from 
customers located in countries that may be adversely affected by political or economic instability and corruption.

We  are  aviation  and  defense  company  with  worldwide  operations.  Although  79%  of  our  sales  are  in  Israel  and  North 
America,  we  expect  to  derive  an  increasing  portion  of  our  sales  and  future  growth  from  other  regions  such  as  Latin 
America,  India  and  Central  and  Eastern  Europe,  which  may  be  more  susceptible  to  political  or  economic  instability.  In 
addition, in many less-developed markets, we rely heavily on third-party representatives, consultants and other agents for 
business  development,  marketing  and  distribution  of  our  products.  Many  of  these  third-parties  do  not  have  internal 
compliance  resources  comparable  to  ours.  Business  activities  in  many  of  these  markets  have  historically  been  more 
susceptible to corruption. If our efforts to screen third party agents and detect cases of potential misconduct fail, we could 
be  held  responsible  for  the  noncompliance  of  these  third  parties  under  applicable  laws  and  regulations,  which  may 
adversely affect our reputation and our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Exports accounted for 76% of our revenues in 2017, 43% of our revenues in 2016 and 57% of our revenues in 2015. Our 
reliance on export sales subjects us to many risks inherent in engaging in international business, including:

● Limitations and disruptions resulting from the imposition of government controls;

● Changes in regulatory requirements;

● Export license requirements;

● Economic or political instability;

● Trade restrictions;

● Changes in tariffs;

● Currency fluctuations;

● Longer receivable collection periods and greater difficulty in accounts receivable collection;

● Greater difficulty in safeguarding intellectual property;

● Difficulties in managing overseas subsidiaries and international operations; and

● Potential adverse tax consequences.

We  may  not  be  able  to  sustain  or  increase  revenues  from  international  operations  and  may  encounter  significant 
difficulties, in connection with the sale of our products in international markets. Any of those events may adversely affect 
our business, operating results and financial condition.

Significant political developments could have a materially adverse effect on us. In the United States, potential or actual 
changes in fiscal, defense appropriations, tax and labor policies could have uncertain and unexpected consequences that 
may materially impact our business, results of operations and financial condition. In the U.K., “Brexit,” the referendum in 
which voters approved an exit from the European Union, or E.U., could lead to legal uncertainty and potentially divergent 
national laws and regulations which could adversely affect our business and financial condition. While the U.K. and the 
E.U. are expected to reach an agreement by 2019 regarding the U.K.’s formal exit from the E.U., political changes in the 
U.K.  following  the  “Brexit” referendum and other factors leave it unclear when exactly the U.K.  will exit and  on  what 
terms.

7

In  addition,  as  a  company  registered  with  the  SEC,  we  are  subject  to  the  regulations  imposed  by  the  Foreign  Corrupt 
Practices Act, or FCPA, which generally prohibits registrants and their intermediaries from making improper payments to 
foreign  officials,  for  the  purpose  of  obtaining  or  keeping  business  or  obtaining  an  improper  business  benefit.  We  have 
adopted proactive procedures to promote compliance with the FCPA, but we may be held liable for actions taken by our 
strategic  or  local  partners  or  agents  even  though  these  partners  may  not  themselves  be  subject  to  the  FCPA.  Any 
determination that we have violated the FCPA could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, 
and cash flows.

Currency exchange rate fluctuations in the world markets in which we conduct business could have a material adverse 
effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Most of our revenues are in dollars or are linked to the dollar, while a portion of our expenses, principally salaries and 
related  personnel  expenses,  are  incurred  in  other  currencies,  particularly  in  NIS.  Therefore,  our  costs  in  such  other 
currencies, as expressed in dollars, are influenced by the exchange rate between the dollar and the relevant currency. We 
are also exposed to the risk that the rate of inflation in Israel will exceed the rate of depreciation of the NIS in relation to 
the dollar or that the timing of this depreciation lags behind inflation in Israel. This would have the effect of increasing the 
dollar cost of our operations. In the past, the NIS exchange rate with the dollar and other foreign currencies has fluctuated, 
generally reflecting inflation rate differentials. We cannot predict any future trends in the rate of inflation in Israel or the 
rate of depreciation or appreciation of the NIS against the dollar. If the dollar cost of our operations in Israel increases, our 
dollar-measured results of operations will be adversely affected. We engage in currency hedging transactions intended to 
partly  reduce  the  effect  of  fluctuations  in  foreign  currency  exchange  rates  on  our  results  of  operations.  However,  such 
transactions  may  not  materially  reduce  the  effect  of  fluctuations  in  foreign  currency  exchange  rates  on  our  results  of 
operations.

Claims  that  our  products  infringe  upon  the  intellectual  property  of  third  parties  may  require  us  to  incur  significant 
costs, enter into licensing agreements or license substitute technology.

Third  parties  may  assert  infringement  claims  against  us  or  claims  that  we  have  violated  a  patent  or  infringed  on  a 
copyright, trademark or other proprietary right belonging to them. Any infringement claim, even one without merit, could 
result  in  the  expenditure  of  significant  financial  and  managerial  resources  to  defend  against  the  claim.  Moreover,  a 
successful claim of product infringement against us or a settlement could require us to pay substantial amounts or obtain a 
license to continue to use the technology that is the subject of the claim, or otherwise restrict or prohibit our use of the 
technology. We might not be able to obtain a license from the third party asserting the claim on commercially reasonable 
terms,  if  at all. We also may not  be able to  obtain a license from another provider of suitable alternative technology to 
permit us to continue offering the product. Infringement claims asserted against us could have a material adverse effect on 
our business, operating results and financial condition.

We are required to comply with “conflict minerals” rules which impose costs on us, may make our supply chain more 
complex, and could adversely impact our business.

We are subject to the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, or the 
Dodd-Frank Act, that will require us to perform due diligence, disclose and report whether our products contain conflict 
minerals. President Trump’s administration has indicated that the Dodd-Frank Act will be under further scrutiny and some 
of the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act may be revised, repealed or amended. In April 2017, the SEC announced that it 
was suspending enforcement of portions of the conflict minerals regulations enacted under the Dodd-Frank Act following 
a ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. The implementation of these requirements and 
any  changes  effected  by  the  Trump  administration  could  adversely  affect  the  sourcing,  availability  and  pricing  of  the 
materials used in the manufacture of components used in our products. In addition, we will likely incur additional costs to 
comply  with  the  disclosure  requirements,  including  costs  related  to  conducting  diligence  procedures  to  determine  the 
sources of conflict minerals that may be used in or necessary to the production of our products and, if applicable, potential 
changes to our products, processes or sources of supply as a consequence of such verification activities. It is also possible 
that  we  may  face  reputational  harm  if  we  determine  that  certain  of  our  products  contain  minerals  not  determined  to  be 
conflict-free  or  if  we  are  unable  to  alter  our  products,  processes  or  sources  of  supply  to  avoid  use  of  such  materials. 
Furthermore,  we  may  encounter  challenges  in  satisfying  those  customers  that  require  that  all  of  the  components  of  our 
products be certified as conflict free, and if we cannot satisfy these customers, they may choose a competitor’s products.

8

We may fail to maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, 
which could have an adverse effect on our financial results and the market price of our ordinary shares.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 imposes certain duties on us and our executives and directors. Our efforts to comply with 
the  requirements  of  Section  404(a)  of  the  Sarbanes-Oxley  Act  of  2002  governing  internal  controls  and  procedures  for 
financial reporting, which started, in connection with our 2007 Annual Report on form 20-F, have resulted in increased 
general  and  administrative  expense  and  a  diversion  of  management  time  and  attention,  and  we  expect  these  efforts  to 
require  the  continued  commitment  of  significant  resources.  We  may  identify  material  weaknesses  or  significant 
deficiencies  in  our  assessments  of  our  internal  controls  over  financial  reporting.  Failure  to  maintain  effective  internal 
controls  over  financial  reporting  could  result  in  investigation  or  sanctions  by  regulatory  authorities  and  could  have  a 
material adverse effect on our operating results, investor confidence in our reported financial information and the market 
price of our ordinary shares.

Risk Factors Related to Our Ordinary Shares

Because one of our shareholders, DBSI, holds approximately 27.37% of our outstanding shares, investors may not be 
able to affect the outcome of shareholder votes.

DBSI currently beneficially owns 9,001,364 of our ordinary shares, or approximately 27.37% of our outstanding shares. 
For as long as DBSI, or any shareholder, holds a significant interest in our company, it may have the ability to exercise a 
controlling influence over our business and affairs, including any determinations with respect to potential mergers or other 
business combinations involving us, our acquisition or disposition of assets, our incurrence of indebtedness, our issuance 
of  any  additional  ordinary  shares  or  other  equity  securities,  our  repurchase  or  redemption  of  ordinary  shares  and  our 
payment  of  dividends.  Similarly,  as  long  as  DBSI  has  a  controlling  interest  in  our  company,  it  will  have  the  power  to 
determine or significantly influence the outcome of matters submitted to a vote of our shareholders, including the power to 
elect all of the members of our board of directors (except external directors, within the meaning of Israeli law), or prevent 
an acquisition or any other change in control of us. Because the interests of our controlling shareholders may differ from 
the  interests  of  our  other  shareholders,  actions  taken  by  it  with  respect  to  us  may  not  be  favorable  to  our  other 
shareholders.

If we fail to maintain compliance with NASDAQ’s continued listing requirements, our shares may be delisted from the 
NASDAQ Capital Market.

To continue to be listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market, we need to satisfy a number of conditions, including minimum 
shareholders’ equity of at least $2.5 million and a minimum closing bid price per share of $1.00. On October 1, 2015, we 
received notification from NASDAQ for not maintaining a minimum bid price of US$1.00 per share for 30 consecutive 
business  days  (Listing  Rule  5550(a)  (2)).  We  were  given  180  calendar  days,  or  until  March  29,  2016,  to  regain 
compliance.  On  March  30,  2016,  we  received  notification  from  NASDAQ  that  we  are  eligible  for  an  additional  180 
calendar days to regain compliance. Following a reverse split of our ordinary shares, on September 29, 2016, we regained 
compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) and our shares continued to be listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market.

If  in  the  future,  our  share  price  drops  again  and  remains  under  $1.00  for  30  consecutive  business  days,  and  if  we  are 
ultimately  delisted  from  NASDAQ,  trading  in  our  ordinary  shares  would  be  conducted  on  a  market  where  an  investor 
would  likely  find  it  significantly  more  difficult  to  dispose  of,  or  to  obtain  accurate  quotations  as  to  the  value  of,  our 
ordinary shares.

9

Our share price has been volatile in the past and may decline in the future.

Our  ordinary  shares  have  experienced  significant  market  price  and  volume  fluctuations  in  the  past  and  may  experience 
significant market price and volume fluctuations in the future in response to factors such as the following, some of which 
are beyond our control:

● Quarterly variations in our operating results;

● Operating results that vary from the expectations of securities analysts and investors;

● Changes  in  expectations  as  to  our  future  financial  performance,  including  financial  estimates  by  securities 

analysts and investors;

● Announcements of technological innovations or new products by us or our competitors;

● Announcements by  us  or our  competitors  of significant  contracts, acquisitions,  strategic  partnerships,  joint 

ventures or capital commitments;

● Changes in the status of our intellectual property rights;

● Announcements by third parties of significant claims or proceedings against us;

● Additions or departures of key personnel;

● Future sales of our ordinary shares;

● Delisting of our shares from the NASDAQ Capital Market; and

● Stock market price and volume fluctuations.

Domestic and international stock markets often experience extreme price and volume fluctuations. Market fluctuations, as 
well  as  general  political  and  economic  conditions,  such  as  a  recession  or  interest  rate  or  currency  rate  fluctuations  or 
political events or hostilities in or surrounding Israel, could adversely affect the market price of our ordinary shares.

In the past, securities class action litigation has often been brought against companies following periods of volatility in the 
market price of its securities. We may in the future be the target of similar litigation. Securities litigation could result in 
substantial costs and divert management’s attention and resources both of which could have a material adverse effect on 
our business and results of operations.

Substantial future sales of our ordinary shares by our principal shareholders may depress our share price.

If our principal shareholders, sell substantial amounts of their ordinary shares, including shares registered under effective 
registration statements and shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants, or if the perception exists that our 
principal shareholders may sell a substantial number of our ordinary shares, the market price of our ordinary shares may 
fall.  Any  substantial  sales  of  our  shares  in  the  public  market  also  might  make  it  more  difficult  for  us  to  sell  equity  or 
equity related securities in the future at a time and on terms we deem appropriate.

We do not intend to pay dividends.

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our ordinary shares and do not expect to do so in the foreseeable future. 
The  declaration  of  dividends  is  subject  to  the  discretion  of  our  board  of  directors  and  will  depend  on  various  factors, 
including our operating results, financial condition, future prospects and any other factors deemed relevant by our board of 
directors. You should not rely on an investment in our company if you require dividend income from your investment in 
our company. The success of your investment will likely depend entirely upon any future appreciation of the market price 
of our ordinary shares, which is uncertain and unpredictable. There is no guarantee that our ordinary shares will appreciate 
in value or even maintain the price at which you purchased your ordinary shares.

10

We  may  be  classified  as  a  passive  foreign  investment  company,  or  PFIC,  which  would  subject  our  U.S.  investors  to 
adverse tax rules.

U.S. holders of our ordinary shares may face income tax risks. We have been advised that we may have been a “passive 
foreign investment company” (“PFIC”) for the 2017 taxable year. Our treatment as a PFIC could result in a reduction in 
the after-tax return to U.S. Holders (as defined below in Item 10E. “Additional Information – Taxation”) of our ordinary 
shares and would likely cause a reduction in the value of such shares. A foreign corporation will be treated as a PFIC for 
U.S. federal income tax purposes if either (1) at least 75% of its gross income for any taxable year consists of certain types 
of “passive income,” or (2) at least 50% of the average value of the corporation’s gross assets produce, or are held for the 
production  of,  such  “passive  income.”  For  purposes  of  these  tests,  “passive  income”  includes  dividends,  interest,  gains 
from the sale or exchange of investment property and rents and royalties other than rents and royalties that are received 
from unrelated parties in connection with the active conduct of a trade or business. For purposes of these tests, income 
derived from the performance of services does not constitute “passive income.” If we are treated as a PFIC, U.S. Holders 
of ordinary shares would be subject to a special adverse U.S. federal income tax regime with respect to the income derived 
by us, the distributions they receive from us, and the gain, if any, they derive from the sale or other disposition of their 
ordinary shares. In particular, dividends paid by us, if any, would not be treated as “qualified dividend income,” eligible 
for preferential tax rates in the hands of non-corporate U.S. shareholders. Since PFIC status depends upon the composition 
of our income and the market value of our assets from time to time, even if we were not a PFIC in 2017, there can be no 
assurance  that  we  will  not  become  a  PFIC  in  any  future  taxable  year.  U.S.  Holders  should  carefully  read  Item  10E. 
“Additional Information – Taxation” for a more complete discussion of the U.S. federal income tax risks related to owning 
and disposing of our ordinary shares.

Risks Relating to Our Location in Israel

Political,  economic  and  military  instability  in  Israel  may  disrupt  our  operations  and  negatively  affect  our  business 
condition, harm our results of operations and adversely affect our share price.

We  are  incorporated  under  the  laws  of,  and  our  principal  executive  offices  and  manufacturing  and  research  and 
development facilities are located in the State of Israel. As a result, political, economic and military conditions affecting 
Israel directly influence us. Any major hostilities involving Israel, a full or partial mobilization of the reserve forces of the 
Israeli  army,  the  interruption  or  curtailment  of  trade  between  Israel  and  its  present  trading  partners,  or  a  significant 
downturn  in  the  economic  or  financial  condition  of  Israel  could  adversely  affect  our  business,  financial  condition  and 
results of operations.

Conflicts  in  North  Africa  and  the  Middle  East,  including  in  Egypt  and  Syria  which  border  Israel,  have  resulted  in 
continued  political  uncertainty  and  violence  in  the  region.  Efforts  to  improve  Israel’s  relationship  with  the  Palestinian 
Authority have failed to result in a permanent solution, and there have been numerous periods of hostility in recent years. 
In  addition,  relations  between  Israel  and  Iran  continue  to  be  seriously  strained,  especially  with  regard  to  Iran’s  nuclear 
program.  Such  instability  may  affect  the  local  and  global  economy,  could  negatively  affect  business  conditions  and, 
therefore, could adversely affect our operations. To date, these matters have not had any material effect on our business 
and results of operations; however, the regional security situation and worldwide perceptions of it are outside our control 
and there can be no assurance that these matters will not negatively affect our business, financial condition and results of 
operations in the future.

Furthermore,  we  could  be  adversely  affected  by  the  interruption  or  reduction  of  trade  between  Israel  and  its  trading 
partners. Some countries, companies and organizations continue to participate in a boycott of Israeli companies and others 
doing business with Israel or with Israeli companies. As a result, we are precluded from marketing our products to these 
countries,  companies  and  organizations.  Foreign  government  defense  export  policies  towards  Israel  could  also  make  it 
more difficult for us to obtain the export authorizations necessary for our activities. Also, over the past several years there 
have  been  calls  in  Europe  and  elsewhere  to  reduce  trade  with  Israel.  Restrictive  laws,  policies  or  practices  directed 
towards Israel or Israeli businesses may have an adverse impact on our operations, our financial results or the expansion of 
our business.

11

Our results of operations may be negatively affected by the obligation of our personnel to perform military service.

Some of our employees in Israel are obligated to perform annual military reserve duty and are subject to being called for 
active  duty  under  emergency  circumstances.  If  a  military  conflict  or  war  arises,  these  individuals  could  be  required  to 
serve  in  the  military  for  extended  periods  of  time.  Our  operations  could  be  disrupted  by  the  absence  for  a  significant 
period  of  one  or  more  of  our  executive  officers  or  key  employees  or  a  significant  number  of  other  employees  due  to 
military service. Any disruption in our operations could adversely affect our business.

We may not be able to enforce covenants not-to-compete under current Israeli law.

We  have  non-competition  agreements  with  most  of  our  employees,  many  of  which  are  governed  by  Israeli  law.  These 
agreements  generally  prohibit  our  employees  from  competing  with  us  or  working  for  our  competitors  for  a  specified 
period  following  termination  of  their  employment.  However,  Israeli  courts  are  reluctant  to  enforce  non-compete 
undertakings  of  former  employees  and  tend,  if  at  all,  to  enforce  those  provisions  for  relatively  brief  periods  of  time  in 
restricted geographical areas and only when the employee has unique value specific to that employer’s business and not 
just regarding the professional development of the employee. Any such inability to enforce non-compete covenants may 
cause us to lose any competitive advantage resulting from advantages provided to us by such confidential information.

We may become subject to claims for remuneration or royalties for assigned service invention rights by our employees, 
which could result in litigation and adversely affect our business.

A  significant  portion  of  our  intellectual  property  has  been  developed  by  our  Israeli  employees  in  the  course  of  their 
employment for us. Under the Israeli Patent Law, 5727-1967, or Israeli Patent Law, inventions conceived by an employee 
during the term and as part of the scope of his or her employment with a company are regarded as “service inventions,” 
which  belong  to  the  employer,  absent  a  specific  agreement  between  the  employee  and  employer  giving  the  employee 
service invention rights. The Israeli Patent Law also provides that if there is no such agreement between an employer and 
an employee, the Israeli Compensation and Royalties Committee, or C&R Committee, a body constituted under the Israeli 
Patent  Law,  shall  determine  whether  the  employee  is  entitled  to  remuneration  for  his  inventions.  The  C&R  Committee 
(decisions  of  which  have  been  upheld  by  the  Israeli  Supreme  Court)  has  held  that  employees  may  be  entitled  to 
remuneration for their service inventions despite having specifically waived any such rights. Further, the C&R Committee 
has not yet set specific guidelines regarding the method for calculating this remuneration or the criteria or circumstances 
under which an employee’s waiver of his right to remuneration will be disregarded. We generally enter into intellectual 
property  assignment  agreements  with  our  employees  pursuant  to  which  such  employees  assign  to  us  all  rights  to  any 
inventions  created  in  the  scope  of  their  employment  or  engagement  with  us.  Although  our  employees  have  agreed  to 
assign to us service invention rights and have specifically waived their right to receive any special remuneration for such 
assignment  beyond  their  regular  salary  and  benefits,  we  may  face  claims  demanding  remuneration  in  consideration  for 
assigned inventions. As a consequence of such claims, we could be required to pay additional remuneration or royalties to 
our current or former employees, or be forced to litigate such claims, which could negatively affect our business.

Service and enforcement of legal process on us and our directors and officers may be difficult to obtain.

Service of process upon our directors and officers and the Israeli experts named in this annual report, most of who reside 
outside the U.S., may be difficult to obtain within the U.S. Furthermore, since substantially most our assets, our directors 
and officers and the Israeli experts named in this annual report are located outside the U.S., any judgment obtained in the 
U.S. against us or these individuals or entities may not be collectible within the U.S.

12

There  is  doubt  as  to  the  enforceability  of  civil  liabilities  under  the  Securities  Act  and  the  Securities  Exchange  Act  in 
original actions instituted in Israel. However, subject to certain time limitations and other conditions, Israeli courts may 
enforce final judgments of U.S. courts for liquidated amounts in civil matters, including judgments based upon the civil 
liability provisions of those Acts.

The rights and responsibilities of our shareholders are governed by Israeli law and differ in some respects from those 
of a typical U.S. corporation.

We are incorporated under Israeli law and the rights and responsibilities of holders of our ordinary shares are governed by 
our articles of association and by Israeli law. These rights and responsibilities differ in some respects from the rights and 
responsibilities of shareholders in typical U.S. corporations. In particular, a shareholder of an Israeli company has a duty 
to  act  in  good  faith  in  exercising  his  or  her  rights  and  fulfilling  his  or  her  obligations  toward  the  company  and  other 
shareholders and to refrain from abusing his power in the company, including, among other things, in voting at the general 
meeting of shareholders on certain matters. Israeli law provides that these duties are applicable to shareholder votes at the 
general meeting  with  respect  to,  among other things,  amendments  to  a company’s  articles of  association, increases in  a 
company’s authorized share capital, mergers and actions and transactions involving interests of officers, directors or other 
interested parties which require the shareholders’ approval. In addition, a controlling shareholder of an Israeli company or 
a  shareholder  who  knows  that  he  or  she  possesses  the  power  to  determine  the  outcome  of  a  vote  at  a  meeting  of  our 
shareholders,  or  who  has,  by  virtue  of  the  company’s  articles  of  association,  the  power  to  appoint  or  prevent  the 
appointment of an office holder in the company, or any other power with respect to the company, has a duty of fairness 
toward the company. However, Israeli law does not define the substance of this duty of fairness. There is little case law 
available to assist in understanding the implications of these provisions that govern shareholder behavior.

Israeli government programs and tax benefits may be terminated or reduced in the future.

We  participate  from  time  to  time  in  programs  of  the  Israeli  Innovation  Authority  (formerly  the  Office  of  the  Chief 
Scientist) of the Israeli Ministry of Economy, or Innovation Authority, for which we receive funding for the development 
of technologies and products. The benefits available under these programs depend on meeting specified conditions. For 
more  information  about  these  programs  see  Item  5.  “Operating  and  financial  review  and  prospects  –  Research  & 
Developments  –  Israeli  Innovation  Authority.”  If  we  fail  to  comply  with  these  conditions,  we  may  be  required  to  pay 
additional  penalties,  make  refunds  and  may  be  denied  future  benefits.  From  time  to  time,  the  government  of  Israel  has 
discussed  reducing  or  eliminating  the  benefits  available  under  these  programs,  and  therefore  these  benefits  may  not  be 
available to us in the future at their current levels or at all.

As  a  foreign  private  issuer  whose  shares  are  listed  on  the  NASDAQ  Capital  Market,  we  may  follow  certain  home 
country corporate governance practices instead of certain NASDAQ requirements.

As a foreign private issuer whose shares are listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market, we are permitted to follow certain 
home  country  corporate  governance  practices  instead  of  certain  requirements  of  The  NASDAQ  Stock  Market  Rules. 
Among other things, as a foreign private issuer we may follow home country practice with regard to the composition of 
the board of directors, director nomination procedure, and quorum at shareholders’ meetings. In addition, we may follow 
our home country law, instead of the NASDAQ Stock Market Rules, which require that we obtain shareholder approval 
for  certain  dilutive  events  such  as  for  the  establishment  or  amendment  of  certain  equity  based  compensation  plans,  an 
issuance that will result in a change of control of the company, certain transactions other than a public offering involving 
issuances of a 20% or more interest in the company, and certain acquisitions of the stock or assets of another company. A 
foreign  private  issuer  that  elects  to  follow  a  home  country  practice  instead  of  NASDAQ  requirements  must  submit  to 
NASDAQ in advance a written statement from an independent counsel in such issuer’s home country certifying that the 
issuer’s practices are not prohibited by the home country’s laws. In addition, a foreign private issuer must disclose in its 
annual reports filed with the SEC each such requirement that it does not follow and describe the home country practice 
followed  by  the  issuer  instead  of  any  such  requirement.  Accordingly,  our  shareholders  may  not  be  afforded  the  same 
protection as provided under NASDAQ’s corporate governance rules.

ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY

A. History and Development of the Company

We  were  incorporated  under  the  laws  of  the  State  of  Israel  on  December  8,  1970.  We  are  a  public  limited  liability 
company  under  the  Israeli  Companies  Law  1999-5759,  or  the  Israeli  Companies  Law,  and  operate  under  this  law  and 
associated legislation. Our registered offices and principal place of business are located at 7 Giborei Israel Street, Netanya 
4250407, Israel, and our telephone number is +972-9-892-1111. Our website address is www.rada.com. The information 
on our website is not incorporated by reference into this annual report.

We  develop,  manufacture  and  sell  defense  electronics,  including  avionics  solutions  (including  avionics  for  unmanned 
aerial  vehicles  and  airborne  inertial  navigation  systems),  airborne  data/video  recording  and  management  systems  and 
tactical land-based radars for defense forces and for border protection systems. In addition, while we continue to sell and 
support  our  legacy  commercial  aviation  products  and  services,  in  2016  we  decided  to  actively  pursue  the  sale  of  our 
Chinese  subsidiary,  Beijing  Hua  Rui  Aircraft  Maintenance  and  Service,  Co.,  Ltd.,  known  as  CACS,  which  is  the  main 
platform of our test and repair shop activity. The results presented in this annual report were adjusted to present CACS’ 
results in a separate line as “Discontinued Operations.”

B. Business Overview

Industry Overview

Our activity is primarily focused on the defense electronics market. This is a growing market and is currently a large part 
of  the  defense  industry.  The  defense  electronics  market  reflects  two  contradictory  trends,  the  proliferation  of  defense 
electronics,  which  has  been  offset  by  the  significant  reduction  in  the  price  of  electronic  systems  which  is  reducing  the 
dollar  value  of  the  market.  Today,  new  military  vehicles  of  all  kinds  are  equipped  with  significantly  more  electronic 
systems than they used to carry in the past. The increasing usage of advanced electronics in modern vehicles, including 
upgrades of existing technology and the growing use of unmanned vehicles of all kinds, have provided significant growth 
to the market.

Today’s advanced defense electronics systems typically incorporate components that are derived from the industrial or the 
consumer  electronics  markets,  especially  from  the  telecom  and  automotive  markets.  Most  of  the  defense  electronics 
systems are built with commercial components and even with sub-systems, which reduce the overall price, and at the same 
time generate complex obsolescence issues.

Purchasers  of  defense  electronics  products  are  either  governments  or  major  integrators.  Engagement  in  business 
relationships  with  these  customers  is  complex,  has  a  long  sales  cycle  and  requires  long-term  commitments  for  future 
support of delivered hardware. Production batches of such products are usually small.

Suppliers  of  defense  electronic  systems  are  either  providers  of  sub-systems  to  major  integrators  and  platform 
manufacturers or are providers of integrated systems to the industry or to the armed forces. These companies are typically 
very large and have diversified product offerings.

New products in the defense electronic market are usually developed utilizing internal and customer sponsored research 
and development funds and are tailored to specific customer needs. In many cases, the customer who pays for the design 
and adaptation limits the use of intellectual property that was funded by it for other applications, due to either commercial 
or security reasons.

Products and Services

We primarily sell state-of-the-art defense electronics products. We may also provide end-to-end solutions for one or more 
systems. Our current product lines are:

14

● Military  Avionics  (Data/video  recorders,  core  avionics  for  aircraft  and  UAVs)  and  airborne  Inertial 

Navigation Systems;

● Tactical Radars for defense forces and border protection systems (land based).

While we continued to support our legacy commercial aviation test stations, in 2016 we decided to sell CACS, our main 
platform for our test and repair shop activity.

Military Avionics

We are active in the field of mission data & video recording, management, and post-mission analysis and debriefing for 
fighter and trainer aircrafts. Over the past 25 years we have developed, fielded and supported a wide range of solid-state 
digital recorders, cameras and debriefing systems for aerospace and military applications, including:

● Flight data recorders, or FDR, for fighter aircraft;

● Digital video/audio/data recorders, or DVDR (with data transfer functions);

● High-rate (no compression) data recorders, or HRDR, for aircraft and airborne pods;

● Video recorders and airborne data servers, or VRDS, the latest approach to avionic data management;

● HD-DVDR, high definition digital video/audio/data recording for fighter and trainer aircrafts.

● A wide range of head-up-displays color video cameras, or HCVC, for fighter aircraft; and

● A variety of ground debriefing solutions, or GDS.

Featuring state-of-the-art technologies, our digital recorders are designed for military applications. Our high-performance 
recorders  provide  simultaneous,  high-capacity  video  (both  analog  and  digital/HD),  audio  and  data  recording,  high 
throughput  and  mass  storage  handling  capabilities,  supporting  rapid  dissemination  and  real-time  playback.  Our  video 
recorders  implement  MPEG-2  and/or  MPEG-4  (H.264)  compression  formats,  supporting  up  to  128GB  of  solid  state 
memory, facilitating continuous recording over extended mission durations. Recent upgrades to our recorders provide the 
ability  to  record  high-definition  video  formats  and  advanced  ARINC-818  protocols,  over  copper  and  also  fiber  optics 
lines.

Our  GDS  feature  synchronized  video,  audio,  data,  and  air  combat  maneuvering  debriefing.  GDS  vary  from  personal, 
laptop-size  debriefing  units,  through  robust  desktop  multi-channel  systems  supporting  the  mission  debriefing  of  four-
aircraft  formations  up  to  large-scale  simultaneous  debriefing  systems.  These  network-based  systems  support  large 
numbers of participants operating from different locations, and provide advanced data management features.

We  have  been  a  developer  and  manufacturer  of  core  avionics  systems  for  over  30  years.  We  currently  offer  a  wide 
spectrum  of  military  avionics  systems  designed  for  integration  in  new  and  upgraded  military  aircraft  and  UAVs 
worldwide. Our avionics solutions range from fully integrated avionics suites, through core avionics subsystems, to tailor-
made  “built-to-spec”  units,  backed  by  our  teams  of  experts  dedicated  to  providing  global  technical  and  maintenance 
support.

Our avionics systems are easily adapted to western, eastern, and indigenous-origin platforms of all kinds. In particular, our 
avionics  for  UAVs  are  extremely  compact  through  modern  board  connectivity  solutions,  use  of  innovative  conductive 
cooling techniques, withstand extreme environmental conditions and are very reliable and affordable.

15

We offer the following avionics solutions:

● Mission data recorders and debriefing solutions (as described above);

● Weapon management systems;

● Data interface and processing computers;

● HUD video cameras;

● Avionics for UAVs (Interface control processors, engine control computers, Payload management computers 

and others);

● R-200M: Compact, MEMS-based, multiple-sensor aided INS for UAVs and backup INS for manned aircraft;

● MAVINS – Modular Avionics and MEMS-Based INS: A specially-designed, compact integrated solution for 

UAVs.

Our airborne products  and  system solutions  are  fully  qualified  and  operated  by  leading air  forces  and prime  integrators 
worldwide,  such  as  the  Israeli  Air  Force,  or  IAF,  Lockheed  Martin,  Boeing  Company,  HAL,  Embraer,  IAI,  Rafael,  the 
Chilean Air Force, Indra Systemas S.A., and many others. Our units are installed onboard F-16, F-15, T-6, A-4, Jaguar, 
MiG-27,  Su-30MKI,  Dhruv  Helicopter,  MiG-29,  Super-Tucano  and  other  aircraft,  and  onboard  a  continuously-growing 
number of UAVs.

Tactical  Radars  for  defense  forces  and  border  protection  systems  (land  based).  We  develop  advanced  ground-based 
radars  for  tactical  applications  such  as  defense  forces  protection  and  border  protection.  Our  pulse  Doppler,  software-
defined radars are solid-state, fully digital, incorporate active electronically scanned array, or AESA antenna, are compact, 
mobile and highly reliable, provide hemispheric spatial coverage and multi-mission capabilities, operate on-the-move, or 
OTM, and demonstrate unprecedented performance-to-price ratio.

The  asymmetric  and  irregular  conflicts  in  which  modern  armies  are  engaged  in  recent  years  dictate  the  needs  for 
instantaneous and real-time intelligence, minimal cycle time for target acquisition, highly accurate weapons with minimal 
collateral  damage  and  discrimination  between  hostiles  and  civilians.  Our  tactical  radars,  which  move  with  the 
maneuvering combat units in the field and operate OTM, provide the real-time knowledge of whether and from where they 
are  threatened,  detect  all  relevant  threats,  whether  unfriendly  fire  or  drones/UAVs/fighters/helicopters  from  any  angle 
(including  very  high  angles),  discriminate  among  threats  and  provide  the  needed  intelligence  for  any  course  of  action, 
whether  counter-fire  or  avoidance.  The  performance-over-price  ratio  of  our  radars  makes  them  ideal  solutions  to  the 
current needs and requirements of maneuver forces.

We have developed various radar hardware platforms: the compact hemispheric radar, or CHR, which is tailored for use in 
combat  vehicles  and  short-range  protection  applications;  and  a  family  of  multi-mission  hemispheric  radars,  or  MHRs, 
which are tailored for use in force and border protection applications. We offer the MHR, the enhanced MHR, or eMHR, 
and the improved and enhanced MHR, or ieMHR; all share the same basic characteristics, but differ in range, size, weight, 
and  price.  For  each  radar  platform  we  implement  several  operational  missions  by  changing  the  radar  operational 
parameters.

The current operational missions of the CHR are the following:

● The RPS-10 radar sensors for active protection systems, or APS, detect all relevant threats that may be fired 
at  combat  vehicles,  including  RPGs,  anti-tank  guided  missiles  (ATGMs)  and  projectiles  and  provide  360° 
hemispheric coverage. The system delivers threat data to the APS, enabling it to neutralize threats.

● The  RPS-12  short-range  hemispheric  air  surveillance  radar  system  can  detect,  classify  and  track  aerial 
vehicles  at ranges  of  up  to 10km, with  emphasis  on small  UAVs. Mobile or  stationary, the  system can be 
integrated with any C4I system and other radars and sensors, and can operate either as a stand-alone, or as 
part of a large-scale surveillance system.

16

● The  RPS-14  radar  system  for  perimeter  and  border  protection  can  detect,  identify,  and  track  aerial  and 
surface intruders including slow and small aircraft, vehicles, vessels, and pedestrians at tactical ranges. The 
RPS-14 can operate either as a stand-alone, or as part of a large-scale surveillance system.

● The  RPS-15  comprehensive  hostile  fire  management  system  for  combat  vehicle  detects,  tracks,  classifies, 
and  locates  direct  and  elevated  threats  fired  at  combat  vehicles,  allowing  the  mobile  force  to  successfully 
complete its mission while operating in a hostile environment.

The current operational missions of the MHR family of radar platforms are the following:

● The RPS-40/70/80 hostile fire detection radar systems detect, track, classify and locate direct and elevated 
threats fired at stationary or mobile forces. They compute the Point-Of-Origin (POO) and Point-Of-Impact 
(POI) of the threats, which may be rockets, artillery, mortars, ATGMs, RPGs, and more other threats. The 
systems  can  be  integrated  with  any  protection  and  Command,  Control,  Communications,  Computers  and 
Intelligence (C4I) system and be installed at stationary bases and posts, or onboard fighting vehicles.

● The RPS-42/72/82 tactical hemispheric air surveillance radar systems can detect, classify and track all types 
of aerial vehicles, including fighters, helicopters, UAVs, transport aircraft, etc. at tactical ranges. Mobile or 
stationary, the systems can be integrated with any C4I system and other radars and sensors, and can operate 
either as a stand-alone, or as part of a large-scale surveillance system.

● The  RHS-44/74/84  radar  systems  for  border  protection  can  detect,  identify,  and  track  aerial  and  surface 
border intruders including slow and small aircraft, vehicles, vessels, and pedestrians at tactical ranges. The 
systems can operate either as a stand-alone, or as part of a large-scale surveillance system.

Among our customers and users of for radar systems are leading defense forces and industries worldwide, including the 
Israeli MOD, IMI, Artis, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, DRS, SAZE, the U.S. Marine Corps and Navy, the U.S. Air Force, 
Indian Security Forces, MBDA and additional air defense prime integrators and end-users. Some of our customers have 
purchased a small number of radars for evaluation and integration in their air defense and/or other systems. These may 
turn into larger production orders upon evaluation and if such systems begin full rate production.

Business Development, Sales and Marketing

Strategy

Our business development strategy is based on the following principles:

● Becoming a reliable and trusted supplier of sensors and sub-systems to defense system integrators and major 
platforms  manufacturers  with  global  sales,  such  as  Lockheed  Martin,  Boeing,  IMI,  IAI,  Rafael,  DRS, 
Embraer, HAL and others.

● Establishing  strategic  joint  venture  companies  in  the  primary  target  markets  (i.e.  U.S.  for  local  presence, 

direct market development, localization of the technology, production and customer support.

● Expanding  our  global  business  development  efforts  and  potential  customer  base  by  engaging  business 
development consultants and service providers in the countries and territories in which our products may be 
used, and actively managing this global network; and

● Establishing strategic partnerships with leading integrators in the prime target markets for tactical radars, i.e. 
U.S.  Europe,  India;  such  partnerships  may  involve  indigenization  and  localization  of  our  technologies  to 
enable sales in significant quantities in these markets.

Strategic Relationships and Customers

As part of our strategy, we have established a number of strategic relationships with leading global defense contractors 
and several air forces. We have focused our marketing and sales efforts to support these relationships.

Lockheed Martin. Lockheed Martin is the manufacturer of the F-16 aircraft, one of the most popular fighter aircraft in the 
western world today. We are supplying the DVDR, HD-DVDR and GDS for new F-16 aircraft production and for F-16 
upgrade  programs  led  by  Lockheed  Martin.  In  2015,  Lockheed  Martin  ordered  a  single  radar  system  for  integration  in 
their internally funded high energy laser research and development program.

IMI Systems. IMI is a world leader in the field of APS for land platforms and is the developer and manufacturer of the 
“Iron Fist” APS. We are teamed with IMI on the integration and production of our RPS-10 radars as part of their “Iron 
Fist” APS solution for local and global customers. During 2016 there was a global increase in the interest of major forces 
in APS; as a result, IMI were engaged along 2017 in extensive efforts to integrate, test and provide its APS to customers in 
Europe and North America, along with our on-going support. We have sold dozens of CHR radars to IMI to support these 
activities. We anticipate that these testing efforts will mature into acquisition programs.

Boeing Defense, Space and Security. Boeing, a provider of air defense and high-energy laser systems, acquired our MHR 
in 2013 for evaluation of its use as part its directed energy tactical systems, and in 2017 has acquired our ieMHR to be 
integrated into critical infrastructure surveillance solutions. We also provide Boeing with recorders and debriefing stations 
for the T-45 VMTS, and have received follow-on orders from Boeing.

Leonardo  DRS.  DRS  is  a  major  player  in  the  defense  electronics  market  in  North  America,  with  a  focus  on  tactical 
systems and radars. In 2017, we signed a cooperation agreement with DRS to market and sell our tactical radars in the 
North  American  market  for  counter-UAV,  short-range  air  defense,  and  other  solutions.  DRS  has  acquired  a  few  MHR 
radars and is actively promoting it as part of their system solutions.

SAZE Technologies LLC. SAZE is the first customer and user of our MHR radars, and provided support and market access 
to various radar programs and demonstrations that we were involved with. RADA and SAZE established a joint venture 
company,  or  JV,  in  the  U.S.,  RADA  Technologies  LLC,,  that  will  seek  special  security  agreements  and  will  perform 
market development, localization of the technology, customer support, production and maintenance. We are in the process 
of recruiting personnel for the JV.

European Air Defense Integrators. Two major European air defense integrators have purchased radars for integration and 
testing. We have signed a value-added representation agreement with one of the integrators for certain countries where it 
has a dominant position in sales of air defense and other solutions.

Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd. Rafael is a world leader in the development and supply of missiles, smart weapons 
and pods of various types. Rafael has become a strategic customer of ours as a result of our development and production 
of a few advanced built-to-specification products in recent years. Recently, Rafael selected the MHR as the radar for the 
“Drone  Dome”  system  that  is  designed  to  counter  UAVs  and  drones,  and  is  purchasing  radars  from  us  for  test  and 
evaluation.

Military Forces. We are the sole providers of digital recorders and debriefing solutions to an air force in Latin America. 
We are the primary provider of recorders and debriefing solutions to a major Asian air force. Our tactical radars for air 
defense are under evaluation by a Far-East country’s army that has acquired f a few units, while two other Asian forces 
have purchased radars for air surveillance and counter-mortar applications. Our tactical radars are used by the U.S. Navy 
and Marines as part of their ground based air defense advanced technology development program. We believe that these 
strategic relationships with military forces provide us with the potential for prolonged cooperation.

18

Israel  Aerospace  Industries.  We  actively  supply  avionics  and  test  equipment  to  four  different  divisions  of  IAI,  and  in 
particular to the LAHAV and MALAT divisions, who are major aircraft integrators and utilize our products and services 
for repeated follow-on orders.

Hindustan  Aeronautics  Ltd.  HAL  is  the  major  aerospace  integrator  in  India.  We  are  currently  cooperating  with  four 
divisions of HAL and supply DVDRs, HCVCs, GDS, support equipment and other services in growing numbers.

Embraer S.A. The Military Aircraft Division of the Brazilian aircraft manufacturer is a strategic customer. In addition to 
supplying  avionics  such  as  DVDR,  INS  and  HCVC  to  Embraer,  we  are  participating  to  a  greater  degree  in  Embraer’s 
programs  through  the  development  and  supply  of  avionic  units  per  their  specifications  and  their  training  and  support 
activities.

Business Development and Marketing

Our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Dov Sella, together with Mr. Gil Schwartz, our VP Business Development & Marketing, 
lead  our  business  development  and  marketing  efforts.  We  currently  employ  twelve  additional  professionals  (seven  of 
which  are  part-time  consultants)  in  business  development  and  the  sales  of  our  products.  Our  program  managers,  chief 
technology  officer  and  our  engineering  departments  support  our  marketing  and  sales  efforts  with  respect  to  proposal 
preparations  and  products  demonstrations.  In  addition,  we  have  business  development  consultants  in  Europe,  South 
America and Asia who receive success fees for sales generated by them. Our U.S. JV is gradually taking over the business 
development role in the North-American market, and works directly and in cooperation with DRS on the exploitation of 
the large U.S. opportunities. Four of our seven part-time consultants are supporting this activity.

The  Israeli  Ministry  of  Defense  has  historically  supported,  and  continues  to  support,  our  marketing  efforts  through  its 
defense export assistance branch and through various projects for the IDF and its related divisions. There is no guarantee 
that this type of assistance will be available to us in the future.

We take part and present our tactical radars at the major land systems exhibitions on a regular basis, such as the (AUSA) 
Annual  Meetings,  D.C.,  Eurosatory  in  Paris,  DSEI  in  London,  and  in  regional  exhibitions  such  as  Seoul  Aerospace  & 
Defense, MSPO in Poland, DefExpo in India and others.

Fixed Price Contracts

The vast majority of our contracts are fixed-price contracts, under which the price is not subject to adjustment by reason of 
the  costs  incurred  in  the  performance  of  the  contracts,  as  long  as  the  costs  incurred  and  work  performed  fall  within 
governmental guidelines. Under our fixed-price contracts, we assume the risk of increased or unexpected costs that may 
reduce our profits or even generate losses. This risk can be particularly significant under fixed-price contracts for research 
and development involving new technologies.

Our  books  and  records  may  be  subject  to  audits  by  the  Israeli  Ministry  of  Defense  and  other  governmental  agencies, 
including the U.S. Department of Defense. These audits may result in adjustments to contract costs and profits.

Principal Customers

Generally, we complete a few major transactions each year, each in an amount comprising more than 10% of our revenues 
for such year. As a result, each year a significant portion of our revenues is derived from a small number of customers. 
The following table sets forth our principal customers in 2015, 2016 and 2017:

Although  we  continually  strive  to  increase  the  number  of  our  customers,  we  anticipate  that  a  significant  portion  of  our 
future  revenues  will  continue  to  be  derived  from  a  small  number  of  customers.  Because  of  our  dependency  on  a  small 
number of customers and on government contracts, we are subject to business risks, including changes in governmental 
appropriations  and  changes  in  national  defense  policies  and  priorities.  Although  many  of  the  programs  in  which  we 
participate  as  a  contractor  or  subcontractor  may  extend  for  several  years,  our  business  is  dependent  upon  annual 
appropriations  and  funding  of  new  and  existing  contracts.  Most  of  the  contracts  are  subject  to  termination  for  the 
convenience  of  the  customer,  pursuant  to  which  the  customer  pays  only  for  reimbursement  of  costs  incurred  and  the 
applicable profit on work performed. The Israeli government or any other government may discontinue funding purchases 
of our products over the long term.

Geographical Markets

We  sell  our  products  to  various  air  forces  and  companies  worldwide.  The  following  table  presents  our  revenues  by

The markets for our products are highly competitive. Our principal competitors on the avionics and recorders include Elbit 
Systems  Ltd.,  United  Technologies  Aerospace  Systems,  Honeywell  International  Inc.,  IAI,  Northrop  Grumman 
Corporation,  Sagem  Avionics  LLC.,  Thales  Group  and  Zodiac  Aerospace  Group.  Our  principal  competitors  on  tactical 
radars are IAI (through its subsidiary, Elta), SRC Inc., SAAB, Thales and Leonardo Selex. We expect to continue to face 
competition from these and other competitors. Currently, all of our competitors are larger and have substantially greater 
resources  than  us,  including  financial,  technological,  marketing  and  distribution  capabilities,  and  enjoy  greater  market 
recognition than we do. These competitors may be able to achieve greater economies of scale and may be less vulnerable 
to price competition than us. We may not be able to offer our products as part of integrated systems to the same extent as 
our competitors or successfully develop or introduce new products that are more cost effective or offer better performance 
than  those  of  our  competitors.  Failure  to  do  so  could  adversely  affect  our  business,  financial  condition  and  results  of 
operations.

Government Regulations

Israel’s defense export policy regulates the sales of our systems and products. Current Israeli policy encourages export to 
approved  customers  of  defense  systems  and  products,  such  as  ours,  as  long  as  the  export  is  consistent  with  Israeli 
government policy.

A  license  is  required  to  initiate  marketing  activities.  We  are  also  required  to  obtain  a  specific  export  license  for  any 
hardware exported from Israel. We are regulated by an Israeli law regulating export of “dual use” items (items that are 
typically sold in the commercial market, but that also may be used in the defense market) and the Defense Export Control 
Law and its supplemental regulations. Those laws and regulations govern the enforcement of export control and defined 
certain new areas of licensing, particularly with respect to transfer of technology. It is not certain that we will receive all 
the required permits and licenses for which we may apply in the future. Our participation in governmental procurement 
processes  in  Israel  and  other  countries  is  subject  to  specific  regulations  governing  the  process  of  procuring  defense 
contracts. Furthermore, solicitations for procurements by governmental purchasing agencies in Israel and other countries 
are governed by laws, regulations and procedures relating to procurement integrity, including avoiding conflicts of interest 
and corruption in the procurement process.

In  addition,  antitrust  laws  and  regulations  in  Israel  and  other  countries  often  require  governmental  approvals  for 
transactions that are considered to limit competition. Such transactions may include cooperative agreements for specific 
programs or areas, as well as mergers and acquisitions.

Proprietary Information

We  generally  do  not  consider  patent  protection  significant  to  our  current  operations  and  rely  upon  a  combination  of 
security devices, trade secret laws and contractual restrictions to protect our rights in our products. Our policy is to require 
employees and consultants to execute confidentiality agreements upon the commencement of their relationships with us. 
These measures may not be adequate to protect our technology from third-party infringement, and our competitors might 
independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to ours. Additionally, our products may be 
sold in foreign countries that provide less protection for intellectual property rights than that provided under U.S. or Israeli 
laws.

The Israeli government usually retains certain rights in technologies and inventions resulting from our performance as a 
prime contractor or subcontractor under Israeli government contracts and may generally disclose such information to third 
parties, including other defense contractors. When the Israeli government funds research and development, it may acquire 
rights to proprietary data and title to inventions; we may retain a non-exclusive, royalty-free license for such inventions. 
However, if the Israeli government purchases only the end product, we may retain the principal rights and the government 
may use the data and take an irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free license.

Manufacturing and Quality Management

Our  production  plant  is  located  in  Beit  She’an,  Israel.  The  plant  is  equipped  to  handle  most  of  our  manufacturing 
processes and testing requirements. For a few specific processes we utilize outsourced resources. This structure allows us 
flexibility and versatility. To support the growth in radar production, we are in the process of establishing a supply chain 
of board assembly providers and chassis/casting providers, while final assembly, calibration and testing is kept internally.

We  place  great  emphasis  on  quality  control  in  our  production  processes.  Commencing  with  customer  requirements  and 
expectations,  via  raw  material  inspection  through  completion,  specifications  are  repeatedly  checked.  We  maintain  a 
quality  assurance  team  that  participates  in  every  stage  of  the  design  and  manufacturing  of  the  products.  Our  quality 
management system is certified by the Standards Institute of Israel, or SII, pursuant to ISO 9001:2015 for hardware design 
and  production  and  ISO  90003:2014  for  software  design.  SII  performs  quality  system  audits  twice  a  year  and  various 
customers  perform  audits  four  to  six  times  a  year.  Our  environmental  management  system  is  certified  by  SII  to  ISO 
14001:2004. Our quality management system is also certified according to AS-9100D, a quality management system for 
aerospace requirements.

21

According to the standard warranty incorporated in most of our sales contracts, we warrant that our products will be free 
from  defects  in  design,  materials  or  workmanship,  and  guarantee  repair  or  replacement  of  defective  parts  typically  for 
periods between one to two years following delivery of a product to a customer. We also provide maintenance services to 
customers who sign maintenance contracts.

Source and Availability of Raw Materials

We  acquire  most  of  the  components  for  the  manufacturing  of  our  products  from  suppliers  and  subcontractors,  most  of 
whom  are located in Israel and the United States. Some of  these suppliers  are currently the sole source  of  one or more 
components upon which we are dependent. Since many of our purchases require long lead-times, a delay in supply of an 
item  can  significantly  delay  the  delivery  of  a  product.  To  date,  we  have  not  experienced  any  particular  difficulties  in 
obtaining timely deliveries of necessary components. We depend on a limited number of suppliers of components for our 
products and if we are unable to obtain these components when needed, we would experience delays in manufacturing our 
products and our financial results could be adversely affected.

C. Organizational Structure

We own 80% interest in CACS, a company based in China that is engaged in aircraft repair services. In 2010, we and our 
local partner in China, Tianzhu Forest Development Co., or Tianzhu, agreed that Tianzhu would divest its 20% interest 
and CACS would become a wholly-owned subsidiary, but the necessary approvals for such sale have never been obtained. 
In 2016, we resolved to pursue a sale of our interest in our CACS subsidiary. The results presented in this annual report 
were adjusted to present CACS’ results in a separate line as “Discontinued Operations.”

D. Property, Plants and Equipment

We  own  a  30,000  square  feet  industrial  building  in  Beit  She’an,  Israel.  The  building,  which  includes  manufacturing 
facilities and warehouse space, is situated on land leased from the Israel Land Authority for a period of 49 years ending in 
2034. The plant has sufficient capacity to meet our current requirements.

Our executive offices and research and development facilities are located in a 17,782 square feet office facility in Netanya, 
Israel.  The  lease  for  this  facility  expires  in  January  2022.  The  aggregate  annual  rent  for  our  offices  in  Israel  was 
approximately $351,000 in 2017.

ITEM 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

A. Operating Results

The following discussion of our results of operations should be read together with our consolidated financial statements 
and the related notes, which appear elsewhere in this annual report. The following discussion contains forward-looking 
statements that reflect our current plans, estimates and beliefs and involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may 
differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such 
differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this annual report.

Overview

We  develop,  manufacture  and  sell  defense  electronics  including  military  avionics  systems  for  manned  and  unmanned 
aircraft, inertial navigation systems, or INS, and tactical land radars for force and border protection applications. We sell 
and  support  our  commercial  aviation  electronic  products  and  services,  mainly  through  CACS,  our  80%  owned  Chinese 
subsidiary.  In  2016,  we  resolved  to  pursue  a  sale  of  our  interest  in  our  CACS  subsidiary.  The  results  presented  in  this 
annual report were adjusted to present CACS’ results in a separate line as “Discontinued Operations.”

General

Our consolidated financial statements appearing in this annual report are prepared in dollars and in accordance with U.S. 
GAAP. Transactions and balances originally denominated in dollars are presented at their original amounts. Transactions 
and balances in other currencies are re-measured into dollars in accordance with the principles set forth in the Financial 
Accounting  Standards  Board,  or  FASB,  Accounting  Standards  Codification, or  ASC  830.  The  majority of  our  sales  are 
made  outside  of  Israel  and  a  substantial  part  of  them  are  in  dollars.  In  addition,  a  substantial  portion  of  our  costs  are 
incurred in dollars. Since the dollar is the primary currency of the economic environment in which we operate, the dollar 
is  our  functional  and  reporting  currency  and,  accordingly,  monetary  accounts  maintained  in  currencies  other  than  the 
dollar are re-measured using the foreign exchange rate at the balance sheet date. Operational accounts and non-monetary 
balance  sheet  accounts  are  measured  and  recorded  at  the  exchange  rate  in  effect  at  the  date  of  the  transaction.  All 
monetary  balance  sheet  accounts  have  been  re-measured  using  the  exchange  rates  in  effect  at  the  balance  sheet  date. 
Statement  of  operations  amounts  have  been  re-measured  using  the  average  exchange  rate  for  the  period.  The  financial 
statements  of  our  foreign  subsidiary,  whose  functional  currency  is  not  the  dollar,  have  been  translated  into  dollars.  All 
balance sheet amounts have been translated using the exchange rates in effect at balance sheet date. Statement of operation 
amounts have been translated using the average exchange rate prevailing during the year. Such translation adjustments are 
reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders’ equity.

Discussion of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimations

Our critical accounting policies, including the assumptions and judgments underlying them, are disclosed in the notes to 
our  consolidated  financial  statements.  These  policies  have  been  consistently  applied  in  all  material  respects.  While  the 
estimates  and  judgments  associated  with  the  application  of  these  policies  may  be  affected  by  different  assumptions  or 
conditions,  we  believe  the  estimates  and  judgments  associated  with  the  reported  amounts  are  appropriate  under  the 
circumstances.  We  believe  the  following accounting  policies  are the  most  critical  in  fully  understanding  and  evaluating 
our financial condition and results of our operations under U.S. GAAP.

Revenue Recognition. Our revenues are mainly derived from sales of defense electronics (solid-state recorders, computers, 
radars,  etc.)  and  their  supporting  ground  systems  (automated  testers,  data  debriefing  stations).  Product  revenue  is 
recognized when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the fee is fixed or determinable, delivery of the product 
to the customer has occurred and the collection of the fee is probable. If the product requires specific customer acceptance, 
revenue  is  deferred  until  customer  acceptance  occurs  or  the  acceptance  provisions  lapse,  unless  we  can  objectively  and 
reliably demonstrate that the criteria specified in the acceptance provisions are satisfied.

Revenues from long-term fixed price contracts are recognized by the percentage-of-completion method in accordance with 
the  “input  method.”  We  apply  this  method  when  the  total  of  the  costs  and  revenues  of  the  contract  can  reasonably  be 
estimated. The percentage of completion is determined based on the ratio of actual costs incurred to total costs estimated 
to  be  incurred  over  the  duration  of  the  contract.  With  regard  to  contracts  for  which  a  loss  is  anticipated,  a  provision  is 
made for the entire amount of the estimated loss at the time such loss becomes evident. Estimated gross profit or loss from 
long-term contracts may change due to changes in estimates resulting from differences between actual performance and 
original  forecasts.  Such  changes  in  estimated  gross  profit  or  loss  are  recorded  in  results  of  operations  when  they  are 
reasonably determined by management, on a cumulative catch-up basis. Revenues under long-term fixed-price contracts 
that involve both development and production are recorded using the cost-to-cost method (development phase) and units-
of-delivery method (production phase) as applicable to each phase of the contract, as the basis to measure progress toward 
completion.

23

We  also  generate  revenues  from  repair  services  using  our  automated  test  equipment,  mainly  through  CACS  (now 
classified as a discontinued operation). Revenues from services are recognized when the service is performed.

Impairment  of  Long-Lived  Assets.  We  are  required  to  assess  the  impairment  of  long-lived  assets  whenever  events  or 
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. We assess the impairment of our assets 
based on a number of factors, including any significant changes in the manner of our use of the respective assets or the 
strategy of our overall business and significant negative industry or economic trends. Upon determination that the carrying 
value of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable, based upon a comparison of expected undiscounted future cash flows 
to  the  carrying  amount  of  the  asset,  an  impairment  charge  is  recorded  in  the  amount  of  the  carrying  value  of  the  asset 
exceeds its fair value. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to 
sell. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, no impairment losses have been identified.

Accounting for income taxes. On January 1, 2007, we adopted FASB ASC 740-10 “Income Taxes,” which contains a two-
step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions accounted for in accordance with ASC 740-10. The 
first  step  is  to  evaluate  the  tax  position  taken  or  expected  to  be  taken  in  a  tax  return  by  determining  if  the  weight  of 
available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that, on an evaluation of the technical merits, the tax position 
will  be  sustained  on  audit,  including  resolution  of  any  related  appeals  or  litigation  processes.  The  second  step  is  to 
measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement ASC 
740-10.  We  provided  a  valuation  allowance  in  respect  to  the  deferred  tax  assets  resulting  from  operating  loss 
carryforwards and other temporary differences. Our management currently believes that since our company has a history 
of losses, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax regarding the loss carryforwards and other temporary differences 
will not be realized in the foreseeable future.

Inventory  valuation.  The  majority  of  our  inventory  consists  of  work  in  progress,  raw  materials  and  components. 
Inventories  are  valued  at  the  lower  of  cost  or  market.  Cost  of  finished  goods  is  determined  on  the  basis  of  direct 
manufacturing costs plus allocable indirect costs representing allocable operating overhead expenses and manufacturing 
costs. Raw material is valued using the “FIFO” method. We assess the valuation of our inventory on a quarterly basis and 
periodically write down the value for different finished goods and raw material items based on their potential utilization. If 
we consider specific inventory to be damaged, we write such inventory down to zero. Inventory write-offs are provided to 
cover  risks  arising  from  slow-moving  items,  discontinued  products,  and  excess  inventories.  The  process  for  evaluating 
these  write-offs  often  requires  us  to  make  subjective  judgments  and  estimates  concerning  the  future  utilization  of  the 
inventory  items.  Inventory  write-offs  were  $122,000,  $144,000  and  $153,000  for  the  years  ended  December  31,  2017, 
2016 and 2015, respectively.

Allowance  for  doubtful  accounts.  Our  trade  receivables  are  derived  from  sales  to  customers  all  over  the  world.  We 
perform  ongoing  credit  evaluations  of  our  customers.  In  certain  circumstances,  we  may  require  letters  of  credit  or 
prepayments. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses from the inability of our customers to 
make  required  payments  that  we  have  determined  to  be  doubtful  of  collection.  We  determine  the  adequacy  of  this 
allowance by regularly reviewing our accounts receivable and evaluating individual customers’ receivables, considering 
customers’ financial condition, credit history and other current economic conditions. If a customer’s financial condition 
were  to  deteriorate  which  might  impact  its  ability  to  make  payment,  then  additional  allowances  may  be  required. 
Provisions for doubtful accounts are recorded in general and administrative expenses. Our allowance for doubtful accounts 
was $14,000, $14,000, $2,000 for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Stock-based  compensation.  We  account  for  stock-based  compensation  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  ASC  718, 
“Compensation  -  Stock  Compensation.”  Under  the  fair  value  recognition  provisions  of  ASC  718,  stock-based 
compensation cost is estimated at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense ratably 
over  the  requisite  service  period  of  the  award.  We  estimate  the  fair  value  of  stock  options  granted  using  the  Black-
Scholes-Merton option-pricing model.

24

The  fair  value  of  an  award  is  affected  by  our  stock  price  on  the  date  of  grant  and  other  assumptions,  including  the 
estimated  volatility  of  our  stock  price  over  the  term  of  the  awards  and  the  estimated  period  of  time  that  we  expect 
employees to hold their stock options.

Discontinued  Operations.  Under  ASC  205,  “Presentation  of  Financial  Statements  -  Discontinued  Operation”  when  a 
component  of  an  entity,  as  defined  in  ASC  205,  has  been  disposed  of  or  is  classified  as  held  for  sale,  the  results  of  its 
operations,  including  the  gain  or  loss  on  its  component  are  classified  as  discontinued  operations  and  the  assets  and 
liabilities of such component are classified as assets and liabilities attributed to discontinued operations; that is, provided 
that  the  operations,  assets  and  liabilities  and  cash  flows  of  the  component  have  been  eliminated  from  the  company’s 
consolidated  operations  and  the  company  will  have  no  significant  continuing  involvement  in  the  operations  of  the 
component. Subsequent to our determination to sell our interest in CACS, CACS’ results are accounted as discontinued 
operation and appear in this annual report in a separate line item as “Discontinued Operations.”

Year Ended December 31, 2017 Compared with Year Ended December 31, 2016

Revenues.  Our  revenues  increased  by  104%  to  $26.2  million  in  2017  from  $12.8  million  in  2016  mainly  due  to  the 
increase in our radars business revenues.

Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues increased by 57% to $17.9 million in 2017 from $11.4 million in 2016. The increase in 
our cost of revenues is attributable to the increase in revenues.

Gross  Profit.  Our  gross  profit  increased  by  473%  to  $8.3  million  in  2017  from  $1.4  million  in  2016.  Our  gross  profit 
margin was approximately 31.6% in 2017 and 11.2% in 2016. The increase in our gross profit and gross profit margin in 
2017  was  mainly  attributable  to  the  increase  in  revenues  and  especially  to  the  higher  gross  margin  generated  from  the 
radars business.

Research and Development Expenses, Net. Our research and development expenses increased by 107.8% to $1.6 million 
in  2017  from  $0.8  million  in  2016.  The  increase  in  expenditures  is  a  result  of  our  strategy  to  achieve  and  maintain  a 
technological edge for our products in the market.

Marketing  and  Selling  Expenses.  Marketing  and  selling  expenses  decreased  by  5.8%  to  approximately  $2.1  million  in 
2017  from  $2.3  million  in  2016.  We  maintained  a similar  level  of  marketing  and  selling  expenses primarily due  to  our 
efforts to sell our radar products, mainly reflected in the costs incurred as part of our participation in field demonstrations 
requested by our potential customers.

General  and  Administrative  Expenses.  General  and  administrative  expenses  increased  by  41%  to  approximately  $2.6 
million  in  2017  from  $1.8  million  in  2016.  The  increase  is  attributable  mainly  to  the  increase  in  the  non-cash  expense 
associated with employee option compensation.

Financial Expenses, Net. Our financial expenses, net, decreased by 90% to $0.2 million in 2017 compared to $1.5 million 
in  2016.  The  decrease  is  attributed  mainly  to  the  lower  level  of  interest  expenses  related  to  the  loans  (including  a 
convertible loan) and bank credit, which were converted and repaid in full during 2017. Our non-cash financial expense 
resulting from the amortization of the discount on a convertible loan and loans from shareholders was $0.103 million in 
2017 compared to $1.1 million in 2016. Our interest expense, net, was $0.164 million in 2017 compared to $0.3 million in 
2016.

26

Year Ended December 31, 2016 Compared with Year Ended December 31, 2015

Revenues. Our revenues decreased by 9% to $12.8 million in 2016 from $14.1  million in 2015 mainly due to delays in 
securing expected contracts that were delayed to later dates.

Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues decreased by 2% to $11.4 million in 2016 from $11.7 million in 2015. The decrease in 
our cost of revenues is attributable to the reduction in sales.

Gross  Profit.  Our  gross  profit  decreased  by  40%  to  $1.4  million  in  2016  from  $2.4  million  in  2015.  Our  gross  profit 
margin was approximately 11.2% in 2016 and 17% in 2015. The decrease in our gross profit and gross profit margin in 
2016 was mainly attributable to the decrease in revenues and the relatively lower decrease in cost of revenues.

Research  and  Development  Expenses,  Net.  Our  research  and  development  expenses  increased  by  9.4%  to  $758,000  in 
2016 from $693,000 in 2015. The relatively low level of expenditures in both 2016 and 2015 reflects maturation of our 
radar products.

Marketing and Selling Expenses. Marketing and selling expenses decreased by 4% to approximately $2.27 million in 2016 
from $2.36 million in 2015. We maintained a similar level of marketing and selling expenses primarily due to our efforts 
to sell our new radar products, mainly reflected in the costs incurred as part of our participation in field demonstrations 
requested by our potential customers.

General  and  Administrative  Expenses.  General  and  administrative  expenses  decreased  by  14%  to  approximately  $1.8 
million in 2016 from $2.1 million in 2015. Our general and administrative expenses in 2015 include a $0.6 million charge 
due to goodwill impairment.

Financial Expenses, Net. Our financial expenses, net, decreased by 57% to $1.5 million in 2016 compared to $3.6 million 
in 2015. Our non-cash financial expense resulting from the amortization of the discount on a convertible note and loans 
from shareholders was $1,116,000 in 2016 compared to $2,684,000 in 2015. Our interest expense, net, was $270,000 in 
2016 compared to $575,000 in 2015.

Our Location in Israel

We are incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel, and our principal executive offices and principal manufacture, 
research and development facilities are located in Israel. See Item 3D “Key Information – Risk Factors – Risks Relating to 
Our Location in Israel” for a description of governmental, economic, fiscal, monetary or political polices or factors that 
have materially affected or could materially affect our operations.

Corporate Tax Rate

Israeli companies were generally subject to corporate tax at a rate of 24% in 2017. The corporate tax as of January 1, 2018 
is 23%.

As of December 31, 2017, our net operating loss carry forward for Israeli tax purposes was approximately $73 million, 
including capital loss carry forwards of approximately $3.8 million.

Trade Relations

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  member  of  the  World  Trade  Organization  and  is  a 
signatory  to  the  General  Agreement  on  Tariffs  and  Trade.  Israel  is  a  member  of  the  Organization  for  Economic  Co-
operation  and  Development,  or  the  OECD,  an  international  organization  whose  members  are  governments  of  mostly 
developed economies. The OECD’s main goal is to promote policies that will improve the economic and social well-being 
of people around the world. In addition, Israel has been granted preferences under the Generalized System of Preferences 
from  the  U.S.,  Australia,  Canada  and  Japan.  These  preferences  allow  Israel  to  export  the  products  covered  by  such 
programs either duty-free or at reduced tariffs.

27

Israel and the E.U. concluded a Free Trade Agreement in July 1975 that confers some advantages with respect to Israeli 
exports to most European countries and obligates Israel  to lower its tariffs with respect to imports from these countries 
over a number of years. In 1985, Israel and the U.S. entered into an agreement to establish a Free Trade Area. The Free 
Trade Area has eliminated all tariff and some non-tariff barriers on most trade between the two countries. On January 1, 
1993, an agreement between Israel and the European Free Trade Association, known as the “EFTA,” established a free-
trade zone between Israel and the EFTA nations. In November 1995, Israel entered into a new agreement with the E.U., 
which includes a redefinition of rules of origin and other improvements, such as allowing Israel to become a member of 
the Research and Technology programs of the E.U.

Impact of Currency Fluctuation and of Inflation

A  significant  portion  of  the  cost  of  our  Israeli  operations,  primarily  personnel  and  facility-related,  is  incurred  in  NIS. 
Therefore, our NIS related costs, as expressed in dollars, are influenced by the exchange rate between the dollar and the 
NIS. In addition, if the rate of inflation in Israel will exceed the rate of devaluation of the NIS in relation to the dollar, or if 
the timing of such devaluations were to lag considerably behind inflation, our cost as expressed in dollars may increase. 
NIS  linked  balance  sheet  items,  may  also  create  foreign  exchange  gains  or  losses,  depending  upon  the  relative  dollar 
values  of  the  NIS  at  the  beginning  and  end  of  the  reporting  period,  affecting  our  net  income  and  earnings  per  share. 
Although we may use hedging techniques, we may not be able to eliminate the effects of currency fluctuations. Therefore, 
exchange  rate  fluctuations  could  have  a  material  adverse  impact  on  our  operating  results  and  share  price.  The  caption 
“Financial  expenses,  net”  in  our  consolidated  financial  statements  includes  the  impact  of  these  factors  as  well  as 
traditional interest income or expense.

The  following  table  sets  forth,  for  the  periods  indicated,  (i)  depreciation  or  appreciation  of  the  NIS  against  the  most 
important  currency  for  our  business,  the  dollar,  until  December  31  each  year  and  the  year  before,  and  (ii)  inflation  as 
reflected in changes in the Israeli consumer price index.

Since exchange rates between the NIS and the dollar fluctuate continuously, exchange rate fluctuations, particularly larger 
periodic devaluations, may have an impact on our profitability and period-to-period comparisons of our results. We cannot 
assure you that in the future our results of operations may not be materially adversely affected by currency fluctuations

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

ASU 2014-09- Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)

In May 2014, the FASB issued new standard related to revenue recognition, ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts 
with Customers (Topic 606)” and related subsequent updates (collectively, the “new revenue standard”). Under the new 
revenue standard, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services and is recognized 
in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In 
addition, the new revenue standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash 
flows arising from contracts with customers. The new revenue standard permits two transition methods: retrospectively to 
each  prior  reporting  period  presented  (the  “full  retrospective  method”),  or  retrospectively  with  the  cumulative  effect  of 
initially  applying  the  new  revenue  standard  recognized  at  the  date  of  initial  application  (the  “modified  retrospective 
method”). The Company will adopt the new revenue standard effective January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective 
method applied to those contracts which were not substantially completed as of January 1, 2018.

28

The Company did not have any material cumulative-effect adjustment as a result of the adoption. In addition, the adoption 
of ASU 2014-09 and the overall Topic 606 will not have any material impact on our consolidated financial statement line 
items in the year of adoption. The Company will make the additional required disclosures under Topic 606, starting with 
the Company’s consolidated financial statements that include the initial adoption date.

ASU 2016-02 - Leases (Topic 842):

In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance on the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for 
both parties to a contract (i.e., lessees and lessors). The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying 
leases  as  either  finance  or  operating  leases  based  on  the  principle  of  whether  or  not  the  lease  is  effectively  a  financed 
purchase  by  the  lessee.  This  classification  will  determine  whether  lease  expense  is  recognized  based  on  an  effective 
interest  method  or  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  the  term  of  the  lease,  respectively.  A  lessee  is  also  required  to  record  a 
right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. 
Leases  with  a  term  of  12  months  or  less  will  be  accounted  for  in  a  manner  similar  to  the  accounting  under  existing 
guidance  for  operating  leases  today.  The  new  standard  requires  lessors  to  account  for  leases  using  an  approach  that  is 
substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. Topic 842 
supersedes the previous leases standard, ASC 840, “Leases.” The guidance is effective for the interim and annual periods 
beginning on or after December 15, 2018 (early adoption is permitted). The Company is currently evaluating the potential 
effect of the guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2016-18 - Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230):

In November 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): 
Restricted Cash. The ASU requires that the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows explain the change in total cash and 
equivalents  and  amounts  generally  described  as  restricted  cash  or  restricted  cash  equivalents  when  reconciling  the 
beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts. The ASU also requires a reconciliation between the total of cash and 
equivalents  and  restricted  cash  presented  on  the  Consolidated  Statement  of  Cash  Flows  and  the  cash  and  equivalents 
balance presented on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. ASU 2016-18 is effective retrospectively on January 1, 2018, with 
early  adoption  permitted.  The  Company  does  not  expect  this  guidance  to  have  a  material  effect  on  its  consolidated 
financial statements at the time of adoption of this standard.

ASU 2017-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718):

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification 
Accounting.”  ASU  2017-09  was  issued  to  provide  clarity  and  reduce  both  1)  diversity  in  practice  and  2)  cost  and 
complexity  when  applying  the  guidance  in  Topic  718  to  a  change  in  the  terms  or  conditions  of  a  share-based  payment 
award. ASU 2017-09 provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award 
require an entity to apply modification accounting under Topic 718. The amendments in ASU 2017-09 are effective for 
fiscal  years,  and  interim  periods  within  those  years,  beginning  after  December  15,  2017.  Early  adoption  is  permitted, 
including adoption in any interim period. The amendments in ASU2017-09 should be applied prospectively to an award 
modified  on  or  after  the  adoption  date.  The  adoption  of  this  ASU  will  not  have  a  material  impact  on  our  consolidated 
financial statements.

29

ASU 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging:

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging - Targeted Improvements to Accounting for 
Hedging Activities”, which is intended to simplify and amend the application of hedge accounting to more clearly portray 
the economics of an entity’s risk management strategies in its financial statements. The ASU will make more financial and 
nonfinancial hedging strategies eligible for hedge accounting, reduce complexity in fair value hedges of interest rate risk 
and  ease  certain  documentation  and  assessment  requirements  of  hedge  effectiveness.  It  also  changes  how  companies 
assess effectiveness and amends the presentation and disclosure requirements. ASU 2017-12 is effective for fiscal years 
beginning  after  December  15,  2018.  The  Company  is  currently  evaluating  the  impact  of  adopting  the  ASU  on  its 
consolidated financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements:

ASU 2016-09- Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718)

In  March  2016,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  (“FASB”)  issued  Accounting  Standards  Update  2016-09, 
“Compensation  -  Stock  Compensation  (Topic  718)”  (“ASU  2016-09”).  ASU  2016-09  permits  entities  to  make  an 
accounting  policy  election  related  to  how  forfeitures  will  impact  the  recognition  of  compensation  cost  for  stock-based 
compensation:  to  estimate  the  total  number  of  awards  for  which  the  requisite  service  period  will  not  be  rendered  or  to 
account  for  forfeitures  as  they  occur.  Upon  adoption  of  ASU  2016-09,  the  Company  elected  to  change  its  accounting 
policy  to  account  for  forfeitures  as  they  occur.  The  guidance  was  applied  on  a  modified,  retrospective  basis  in  the  first 
quarter of fiscal 2017 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial results.

B. Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have historically met our financial requirements primarily through cash generated by operations, funds generated by 
our public offerings, private placements of our ordinary shares and debt securities, loans from our principal shareholders, 
short-term loans and credit facilities from banks (most recently Bank Leumi Le-Israel B.M. and the Israeli branch of State 
Bank  of  India,  or  the  Banks),  research  and  development  grants  from  the  government  of  Israel  and  the  Israel-U.S. 
Binational  Industrial  Research  and  Development  Foundation,  investment  grants  for  approved  enterprise  programs  and 
marketing grants from the government of Israel.

We  had  working  capital  of  $25.6  million  as  of  December  31,  2017  compared  with  working  capital  of  $11.1  million  at 
December 31, 2016. Cash and cash equivalents were $12.4 million as of December 31, 2017 compared to $1.2 million as 
of  December  31,  2016.  Short-term  and  long-term  bank  deposits  and  restricted  bank  deposits  were  $0.32  million  as  of 
December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

As  of  December  31,  2017,  our  Banks  provided  $0.4  million  of  guarantees  on  our  behalf,  mainly  to  our  customers  and 
suppliers  in  the ordinary course  of business. The  guarantees  are  secured by  a first  priority floating charge  on all of our 
assets and by a fixed charge on our property in Beit She’an, unpaid share capital and insurance rights (rights to proceeds 
on  insured  assets  in  the  event  of  loss).  Our  agreements  with  the  Banks  prohibit  us  from:  (i)  selling  or  otherwise 
transferring  any  assets  except  in  the  ordinary  course  of  business;  (ii)  placing  a  lien  on  our  assets  without  the  Banks’ 
consent; or (iii) declaring dividends to our shareholders.

On July 30, 2015, we completed a public offering of 3,455,284 ordinary shares, offered at a price to the public of $2.46 
per share. We received gross proceeds of $8.5 million before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other 
offering  expenses.  Issuance  costs  amounted  to  approximately  $1.07  million.  As  of  December  31,  2015  the  remaining 
principal amount of the debt owed under the Standstill Agreement was $3.09 million.

30

On May 15, 2016, our shareholders approved the sale to DBSI of 8,510,638 of our ordinary shares in consideration for 
approximately $4 million, reflecting a price per share of $0.47. In addition, we issued to DBSI warrants to purchase: (i) an 
additional 4,255,319 ordinary shares at an exercise price per share of $0.47 (resulting in an aggregate exercise price of $2 
million), exercisable for a period of 24 months following the date of the initial investment and (ii) warrants to purchase an 
additional 3,636,363 shares at an exercise price per share of $0.55 (resulting in an aggregate exercise price of $2 million), 
exercisable for a period of 48 months following the date of the initial investment.

DBSI  also  granted  the  company  an  option,  exercisable  by  either  us  or  DBSI,  for  us  to  obtain  a  three  -year  loan  in  the 
principal amount of up to $3.175 million solely for the purpose of the repayment of the outstanding shareholders’ debt. 
We exercised such option in June 2016 and used the funds to fully repay our outstanding shareholders’ debt.

During the term of the loan, which has a three-year term, DBSI had the right, but not the obligation, at its sole discretion, 
to convert the then remaining convertible loan amount into ordinary shares at a price per share equal to the lower of: (i) 
$2.40, or (ii) a five percent (5%) discount to the FMV (the average of the closing prices of our Ordinary Shares over the 5 
consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day prior to the date of conversion), but in no event less than $0.47. In 
August  2017,  DBSI  converted  the  entire  principal  of  the  loan  and  acquired  1,322,917  ordinary  shares,  reflecting  a 
conversion price of $2.40 per share.

DBSI’s exercise of warrants has resulted in proceeds to our company of $1.25 million in 2016 and $1.95 million in 2017 
in the aggregate. 

In  connection  with  the  DBSI  transaction,  we  issued  warrants  to  purchase  255,319  ordinary  shares  to  each  of  Legos 
Advisors Ltd. and Mr. Avi Geffen as commission and finder’s fees. All of these warrants were exercised in 2017 for total 
consideration of $0.24 million.

On November 15, 2016, we completed a $2 million directed registered offering of 1,904,762 ordinary shares at a price per 
share of $1.05 to The Phoenix Insurance Company Ltd. and its affiliate, Shotfut-Menayot-Israel-HaPhoenix Amitim Ltd. 
At the same time, DBSI invested an additional $1 million in our company through the exercise of 2,127,660 warrants.

On  August  20,  2017,  we  sold  4,604,500  of  our  ordinary  shares  to  Israeli  institutional  investors,  at  a  price  of  $2.15  per 
share pursuant to our shelf registration statement.

We  made  capital  expenditures  of  $1  million  in  the  year  ended  December  31,  2017,  primarily  for  machinery  and 
equipment. We currently do not have any significant capital spending or purchase commitments.

Continuing Operations:

Net  cash  provided  by  operating  activities  was  $1,722,000  in  2017.  This  was  primarily  due  to  our  net  income  of 
$2,342,000, depreciation and amortization of $638,000, share based non-cash compensation to employees of $559,000 and 
a  decrease  in  costs  and  estimated  earnings  in  excess  of  billings  of  $809,000.  This  was  offset  by  an  increase  in  trade 
receivables  of  $2,280,000,  and  an  increase  in  inventories  of  $890,000.  Net  cash  used  in  operating  activities  was 
$4,919,000 in 2016. This was primarily due to our loss in 2016 and increase in inventories of $1,503,000, an increase in 
trade  receivables  of  $1,360,000.  This  was  offset  by  a  decrease  in  costs  and  estimated  earnings  in  excess  of  billings  of 
$403,000. Net cash used in operating activities was $3,018,000 in 2015. This was primarily due to our loss in 2015 and a 
decrease in other accounts payables and accrued expenses of $1,437,000, an increase in trade receivables of $607,000, and 
increase in inventories of $499,000. This was offset by a decrease in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings of 
$1,467,000, an increase in trade payables of $602,000 and a decrease in other accounts receivable and prepaid expenses of 
$81,000. 

Net cash used in investing activities was $1,811,000 in 2017, primarily due to the investment of $1,041,000 in property, 
plant and equipment and construction-in-process of production infrastructure of $736,000. Net cash provided by investing 
activities was approximately $44,000 in 2016, primarily due to change in restricted deposits, net of $356,000 which was
offset  by  the  investment  of  $411,000  in  property,  plant  and  equipment.  Net  cash  used  in  investing  activities  was 
approximately  $370,000  in  2015,  primarily  due  to  a  change  in  restricted  deposits  of  $6,000,  which  was  offset  by  the 
investment of $366,000 in property, plant and equipment. 

Net  cash  provided  by  financing  activities  was  $11,292,000  in  2017,  due  to  issuance  of  ordinary  shares  and  exercise  of 
warrants. This was offset by a decrease in short-term bank credit of $575,000. Net cash used in financing activities was 
$5,442,000  in  2016,  reflecting  net  proceeds  of  $7,096,000,  mainly  from  our  transactions  with  DBSI  and  The  Phoenix 
Insurance Company Ltd. and its affiliate, the net repayment of $2,988,000 of shareholders loans and a decrease in short-
term bank credit of $1,841,000. Net cash provided by financing activities was $3,227,000 in 2015, reflecting the issuance 
of ordinary shares in a public offering that provided us with net proceeds of $7,430,000, the net repayment of $5,030,000
of shareholders loans and an increase in short-term bank credit of $827,000.

Discontinued Operations:

Net cash used in operating activities from discontinued operations was $644,000 in 2017. This was primarily due to an 
increase in trade receivables of $956,000. This was offset by depreciation of $391,000. Net cash provided by operating 
activities  from  discontinued  operations  was  $298,000  in  2016.  This  was  primarily  due  to  a  decrease  in  inventories  of 
$29,000 and decrease in trade receivables of $148,000. This was offset by an increase in trade payables of $44,000. Net 
cash  provided  by  operating  activities  from  discontinued  operations  was  $253,000  in  2015.  This  was  primarily  due  to 
depreciation of $101,000.

Net cash used in investing activities from discontinued operations was $101,000 in 2017, due to investment of $101,000 in 
property,  plant  and  equipment  Net  cash  used  in  investing  activities  from  discontinued  operations  was  approximately 
$34,000 in 2016, due to investment of $34,000 in property, plant and equipment. Net cash used in investing activities from 
discontinued operations was approximately $8,000 in 2015, due to investment of $8,000 in property, plant and equipment. 

As a result of the foregoing, at December 31, 2017, we had working capital of $25,641,000 and cash and cash equivalents 
of $12,417,000 as compared to working capital of $11,106,000 and cash and cash equivalents of $1,205,000 at December 
31, 2016.

32

We  expect  to  fund  our  short-term  liquidity  needs  in  2018,  including  our  obligations  under  our  credit  facilities,  other 
contractual agreements and any other working capital requirements, from our cash and cash equivalents, operating cash 
flow and our credit facilities. We project that our current cash and cash equivalents, credit facilities and our expected cash 
flow from operations, will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements in 2018.

C. Research and Development, Patents and Licenses

Research and Development

Our  research  and  development  activities  focus  on  improvements  to  our  existing  products,  the  development  of 
complementary  products  that  would  provide  continued  support  for  our  current  customers  and  would  improve  our 
capability to market our products to new customers and keep a competitive edge over our main competitors. In 2017, 2016 
and  2015  we  incurred  $1.6  million,  $0.8  million  and  $0.7  million,  respectively,  of  research  and  development  expenses, 
net. The vast majority of these expenses are attributable to the development of our radars. In 2018, we intend to continue 
to  invest  in  the  research  and  development  of  new  products.  As  of  December  31,  2017,  we  employed  38  engineers 
(including 2 sub-contractors) in research and development who concentrate mainly on research and development activities 
generated through customer orders and to a lesser extent on internal research and development activities.

The  Israel  Innovation  Authority,  or  the  IIA,  encourages  research  and  development  by  providing  grants  to  Israeli 
companies, pursuant to the Law for the Encouragement of Industrial Research and Development, 1984, as amended. The 
terms of such grants prohibit the manufacture of the developed products outside of Israel and the transfer of technologies 
developed using the grants to any person without the prior written consent of the IIA. During 2011 and 2012 we developed 
a new radar sensor for APS, partly financed by the IIA. In 2013 and 2012, we received royalty bearing grants of $15,000 
and $142,000, respectively, from the IIA. Pursuant to applicable Israeli law, we are currently required to pay royalties at 
the rate of 3.5% of sales of products developed with certain grants received from the IIA, up to 100% of the amount of 
such  grants,  adjusted  by  the  exchange  rate  with  the  dollar.  As  of  December  31,  2017,  our  total  obligation  for  royalty 
payments, net of royalties paid or accrued was approximately $0.8 million.

In 2017, our revenues increased by approximately 104% compared to our revenues in 2016.

Our future revenues  will, in  great measure, be  dependent upon the success of our  sales  and marketing strategy. We are 
currently focusing our sales efforts on:

● Military avionics and inertial navigation systems; and

● Tactical radar systems for force and border protection solutions.

We  cannot  provide  any  assurances  that  we  will  be  successful  in  meeting  our  targets  in  the  future.  As  a  result  of  the 
unpredictable business environment in which we operate, we are unable to provide any specific guidance as to sales and 
profitability trends. If we are unsuccessful in our sales efforts, it is unlikely that we will be able to achieve profitability in 
the future and we will require additional capital.

E. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We are not a party to any material off-balance sheet arrangements. In addition, we have no unconsolidated special purpose 
financing or partnership entities that are likely to create material contingent obligations.

In addition, we have long-term liabilities for severance pay for certain employees that are calculated pursuant to Israeli 
law generally based on the most recent salary of the employees multiplied by the number of years of employment, as of 
the balance sheet date. Under Israeli law, employees are entitled to one month’s salary for each year of employment or a 
portion  thereof  upon  termination  of  employment  in  certain  circumstances,  including  the  retirement  or  death  of  an 
employee or the termination of employment of an employee without due cause. As of December 31, 2017 our severance 
pay liability was $0.8 million.

B. Compensation

For so long as we qualify as a foreign private issuer, we are not required to comply with the proxy rules applicable to U.S. 
domestic companies, including the requirement to disclose information concerning the amount and type of compensation 
paid  to  its  Chief  Executive  Officer,  Chief  Financial  Officer  and  the  three  other  most  highly  compensated  executive 
officers,  rather  than  on  an  aggregate  basis.  Nevertheless,  regulations  promulgated  under  the  Israeli  Companies  Law 
requires us to disclose the annual compensation of our five most highly compensated officers (or all the named executive 
officers if there are fewer than five) on an individual basis, rather than on an aggregate basis, as was previously permitted 
for  Israeli  public  companies  listed  overseas.  Under  the  Companies  Law  regulations,  this  disclosure  is  required  to  be 
included  in  the  notice  of  our  annual  meeting  of  shareholders  each  year  or  in  a  public  document  that  accompanies  such 
notice, which we furnish to the SEC under cover of a Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K. The Companies Law 
regulations permit us to refer to a report filed pursuant to the laws of the country in which our shares are listed for trading 
that includes the required information in lieu of its inclusion in the notice of annual meeting. Because of that disclosure 
requirement under Israeli law, we are including such information in this annual report.

The  following  table  includes  information  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2017  concerning  the  five  (5)  most  highly 
compensated executive officers of our company, (the figures below reflect the applicable cost of employment on an annual

During the year ended December 31, 2017, the aggregate compensation paid to all of our executive officers and directors

Directors – Compensation Committee” and Item 10. Additional Information – Office Holders.

C. Board Practices

Introduction
According to the Israeli Companies Law and our articles of association, the management of our business is vested in our 
board of directors. The board of directors may exercise all powers and may take all actions that are not specifically granted 
to our shareholders. Our executive officers are responsible for our day-to-day management. The executive officers have 
individual  responsibilities  established  by  our  Chief  Executive  Officer  and  board  of  directors.  Executive  officers  are 
appointed by and serve at the discretion of the board of directors, subject to any applicable agreements.

Election of Directors

Our Articles of Association provide for a board of directors consisting no less than four (4) and no more than twelve (12) 
members,  or  such  other  number  as  may  be  determined  from  time  to  time  at  a  general  meeting  of  shareholders.  All  the 
directors  in  the  company  must  be  qualified  to  serve  as  a  director  and  the  time  required  for  such  position,  taking  into 
consideration the type and size of the company and the scope and complexity of its operation. The directors must provide 
the  electing  general  meeting  with  a  detailed  declaration  as  to  the  compliance  with  the  above-listed  requirements.  Our 
board of directors is currently composed of ten (10) directors.

Pursuant to our Articles of Association, our directors, except for the External Directors, are elected at the Annual General 
Meeting by the vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power represented at such meeting in person or by proxy 
and voting on the election of directors, and each director generally serves until the Annual General Meeting next following 
the  Annual  General  Meeting  at  which  such  director  was  appointed,  or  his  earlier  vacation  of  office  or  removal.  Except 
with respect to the removal of External Directors, the shareholders are entitled to remove any director(s) from office, by a 
simple majority of the voting power of the company represented at the meeting in person or by proxy and voting thereon. 
All  the  members  of  our  board  of  directors  (except  the  external  directors  as  detailed  below)  may  be  reelected  upon 
completion of their term of office. The majority of directors may appoint additional directors to fill any vacancies in the 
board  of  directors  until  the  next  annual  general  meeting;  provided,  however  that  the  total  number  of  directors  will  not 
exceed the maximum number, if any, fixed by or in accordance with our Articles of Association. We do not follow the 
requirements of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules with regard to the nomination process of directors and instead follow 
Israeli law and practice. See Item 16G. “Corporate Governance.”

External and Independent Directors

External Directors. The Israeli Companies Law requires publicly held Israeli companies to appoint at least two external 
directors. The Israeli Companies Law provides that a person may not be appointed as an external director if the person, or 
the person’s relative, partner, employer or an entity under that person’s control, has or had during the two years preceding 
the  date  of  appointment  any  affiliation  with  the  company,  or  any  entity  controlling,  controlled  by  or  under  common 
control with the company. The term “relative” means a spouse, sibling, parent, grandparent, child or child of spouse or 
spouse  of  any of the above  as well as  a sibling,  brother, sister  or  parent  of the foregoing  relatives. In  general, the term 
“affiliation” includes an employment relationship, a business or  professional relationship maintained on a  regular basis, 
control  and  service  as  an  office  holder.  Furthermore,  if  the  company  does  not  have  a  controlling  shareholder  or  a 
shareholder  holding  at  least  25%  of  the  voting  rights  “affiliation”  also  includes  a  relationship,  at  the  time  of  the 
appointment,  with  the  chairman  of  the  board,  the  Chief  Executive  Officer,  a  substantial  shareholder  or  the  most  senior 
financial officer of such company. Regulations promulgated under the Israeli Companies Law include certain additional 
relationships that would not be deemed an “affiliation” with a company, for the purpose of service as an external director. 
In addition, no person may serve as an external director if the person’s position or other activities create, or may create, a 
conflict  of  interest  with  the  person’s  responsibilities  as  director  or  may  otherwise  interfere  with  the  person’s  ability  to 
serve as director. If, at the time an external director is appointed, all current members of the board of directors are of the 
same gender, then that external director must be of the other gender. A director of one company may not be appointed as 
an  external  director  of  another  company  if  a  director  of  the  other  company  is  acting  as  an  external  director  of  the  first 
company at such time.

39

At  least  one  of  the  elected  external  directors  must  have  “accounting  and  financial  expertise”  and  any  other  external 
director  must  have  “accounting  and  financial  expertise”  or  “professional  qualification,”  as  such  terms  are  defined  by 
regulations promulgated under the Israeli Companies Law. However, Israeli companies listed on certain stock exchanges 
outside  Israel,  including  the  NASDAQ  Capital  Market,  such  as  our  company,  are  not  required  to  appoint  an  external 
director with “accounting and financial expertise” if a director with accounting and financial expertise who qualifies as an 
independent  director  for  purposes  of  audit  committee  membership  under  the laws of  the foreign exchange serves  on  its 
board of directors. All of the external directors of such a company must have “professional qualification.”

The external directors are elected by shareholders at a general meeting. The shareholders voting in favor of their election 
must  include  at  least  a  simple  majority  of  the  shares  voted  by  shareholders  other  than  controlling  shareholders  or 
shareholders  who  have  a  personal  interest  in  the  election  of  the  external  director  (unless  such  personal  interest  is  not 
related to such person’s relationship with the controlling shareholder). This majority requirement will not be required if 
the  total  number  of  shares  of  such  non-controlling  shareholders  and  disinterested  shareholders  who  vote  against  the 
election of the external director represent 2% or less of the voting rights in the company.

In general, under the Israeli Companies Law, external directors serve for a three-year term and may be reelected to two 
additional three-year terms, at the nomination of either the board of directors or any shareholder(s) holding at least 1% of 
the voting rights in the company. If the board of directors proposed the nominee, the reelection must be approved by the 
shareholders  in  the  same  manner  required  to  appoint  external  directors  for  an  initial  term,  as  described  above.  If  such 
reelection is proposed by shareholders, such reelection requires the approval of the majority of the shareholders voting on 
the  matter,  excluding  the  votes  of  any  controlling  shareholder  and  other  shareholders  having  a  personal  interest  in  the 
matter  as  a  result  of  their  relationship  with  the  controlling  shareholder(s),  provided  that,  the  aggregate  votes  cast  by 
shareholders  who  are  not  controlling  shareholders  and  do  not  have  a  personal  interest  in  the  matter  as  a  result  of  their 
relationship with the controlling shareholder(s) who voted in favor of the nominee constitute more than 2% of the voting 
rights in the company and provided further that, at the time of the appointment, such reelected external director is not (i) a 
related or competitor shareholder, or (ii) a relative of such related or competitor shareholder or otherwise affiliated with a 
related or competitor shareholder either at the time of appointment or at any time during the two years period prior to such 
appointment.  A  related  or  competitor  shareholder  is  defined  by  the  Israeli  Companies  Law  as  the  shareholder  that 
proposed the reelection or a holder of 5% or more of the outstanding share capital of the company, provided that at the 
time  of  appointment  (i)  such  shareholders,  their  controlling  shareholder  or  any  entity  controlled  by  either  of  them  has 
business relations with company, or (ii) such shareholders, their controlling shareholder or any entity controlled by either 
of  them  are  competitors  of  the  company.  External  directors  can  be  removed  from  office  only  by  the  same  special 
percentage of shareholders that can elect them, or by a court order, and then only if the external directors cease to meet the 
statutory qualifications with respect to their appointment or if they violate their fiduciary duty to the company.

Each  committee  of  the  board  of  directors  that  is  authorized  to  exercise  powers  vested  in  the  board  of  directors  must 
include  at  least  one  external  director  and  the  audit  committee  and  the  Compensation  Committee  must  include  all  the 
external  directors.  An  external  director  is  entitled  to  compensation  as  provided  in  regulations  adopted  under  the  Israeli 
Companies Law and is otherwise prohibited from receiving any other compensation, directly or indirectly, in connection 
with such service.

Independent Directors. In general, NASDAQ Stock Market Rules require that the board of directors of a NASDAQ-listed 
company  have  a  majority  of  independent  directors  and  its  audit  committee  must  have  at  least  three  members  and  be 
comprised only of independent directors, each of whom satisfies the respective “independence” requirements of NASDAQ 
and  the  SEC.  However,  foreign  private  issuers,  such  as  our  company,  may  follow  certain  home  country  corporate 
governance  practices  instead  of  certain  requirements  of  the  NASDAQ  Stock  Market  Rules.  We  do  not  follow  the 
requirement  of  the  NASDAQ  Stock  Market  Rules  to  maintain  a  majority  of  independent  directors  on  our  board  and 
instead follow Israeli law and practice (see Item 16G. “Corporate Governance”). However, we have the mandated three 
independent directors on our audit committee, in accordance with the rules of the SEC and NASDAQ Stock Market.

40

Pursuant to the Israeli Companies Law, a director may be qualified as an independent director if such director is either (i) 
an external director; or (ii) a director that serves as a board member for less than nine years and the audit committee has 
approved that he or she meets the independence requirements of an external director. A majority of the members serving 
on the audit committee and the compensation committee must be independent under the Israeli Companies Law.

Our board of directors has determined that Ms. Mor, Mr. Sigal, Mr. Dumanis and Mr. Zur qualify as independent directors 
under  the  SEC  and  NASDAQ  requirements  and  that  Ms.  Mor,  Mr.  Sigal  and  Mr.  Dumanis  qualify  as  independent 
directors under the Israeli Companies Law requirements.

We do not follow the requirements of the NASDAQ Stock Market Rules with regard to regularly scheduled meetings of 
independent  directors.  Under  Israeli  law,  external  directors  are  not  required  to  hold  executive  sessions.  See  Item  16G. 
“Corporate Governance.”

Committees of the Board of Directors

Audit Committee. Under the Israeli Companies Law, the board of directors of any public company must establish an audit 
committee. The audit committee must be comprised of at least three directors, the majority of which must be independent 
directors. Such independent directors must meet all of the standards required of an external director and may not serve as a 
director for more than consecutive nine years (a cessation of service as a director for up to two years during any nine years 
period will not be deemed to interrupt the nine years period). The audit committee may not include the chairman of the 
board of directors; any director employed by the company or providing services to the company on an ongoing basis; a 
controlling  shareholder  or  any  of  the  controlling  shareholder’s  relatives;  and  any  director  who  rendered  services  to  the 
controlling  shareholder  or  an  entity  controlled  by  the  controlling  shareholder.  Any  person  who  is  not  permitted  to  be  a 
member of the audit committee may not be present in the meetings of the audit committee unless the chairman of the audit 
committee  determines  that  such  person’s  presence  is  necessary  in  order  to  present  a  specific  matter.  However,  an 
employee  who  is  not  a  controlling  shareholder  or  relative  of  a  controlling  shareholder  may  participate  in  the  audit 
committee’s discussions but not in any vote, and at the request of the audit committee, the secretary of the company and 
its legal counsel may be present during the meeting. The chairman of the audit committee must be an external director.

Under Israeli law, an audit committee may not approve an action or a transaction with a controlling shareholder, or with 
an office holder, unless at the time of approval two external directors are serving as members of the audit committee and 
at least one of the external directors was present at the meeting in which an approval was granted.

The role of the audit committee, pursuant to the Israeli Companies Law, includes:

● monitoring deficiencies in the management of the company, including in consultation with the independent 
auditors or the internal auditor, and to advise the board of directors on how to correct such deficiencies. If the 
audit  committee  finds  a  material  deficiency,  it  will  hold  at  least  one  meeting  regarding  such  material 
deficiency, with the presence of the internal auditor or the independent auditors but without the presence of 
the  senior  management  of  the  company.  However,  a  member  of  the  company’s  senior  management  can 
participate in the meeting in order to present an issue which is under his or her responsibility;

● determining, on the basis of detailed arguments, whether to classify certain engagements or transactions as 
material  or  extraordinary,  as  applicable,  and  therefore  as  requiring  special  approval  under  the  Israeli 
Companies Law. The audit committee may make such determination according to principles and guidelines 
predetermined on an annual basis;

● determining if transactions (excluding extraordinary transactions) with a controlling shareholder, or in which 
a  controlling  shareholder  has  a  personal  interest,  are  required  to  be  rendered  pursuant  to  a  competitive 
procedure;

● deciding whether to approve engagements or transactions that require the audit committee approval under the 

Israeli Companies Law;

41

● determining the approval procedure of non-extraordinary transactions, following classification as such by the 
audit committee, including whether such specific non-extraordinary transactions require the approval of the 
audit committee;

● examining and approving the annual and periodical working plan of the internal auditor;

● overseeing  the  company’s  internal  auditing  and  the  performance  of  the  internal  auditor;  confirm  that  the 
internal  auditor  has  sufficient  tools  and  resources  at  his  disposal,  taking  into  account,  among  other,  the 
special requirements of the company and its size;

● examining the scope of work of the independent auditor and its pay, and bringing such recommendations on 
these  issue  before  the  Board;  determining  the  procedure  of  addressing  complaints  of  employees  regarding 
shortcomings  in  the  management  of  the  company  and  ensure  the  protection  of  employees  who  have  filed 
such complaints;

● determining  with  respect  to  transactions  with  the  controlling  shareholder  or  in  which  such  controlling 
shareholder  has  personal  interest,  whether  such  transactions  are  extraordinary  or  not,  an  obligation  to 
conduct  competitive  process  under  supervisions  of  the  audit  committee  or  determination  that  prior  to 
entering into such transactions the company shall conduct other process as the audit committee may deem fit, 
all taking into account the type of the company. The audit committee my set such qualifications for one year 
in advance; and

● determining  the  manner  of  approval  of  transactions  with  the  controlling  shareholder  or  in  which  it  has 
personal interest which (i) are not negligible transactions (pursuant to the committee’s determination) and (ii) 
are not qualified by the committee as extraordinary transactions.

In  addition,  the  NASDAQ  Stock  Market  Rules  require  us  to  establish  an  audit  committee  comprised  of  at  least  three 
members,  all  of  whom  must  be  financially  literate,  satisfy  the  respective  “independence”  requirements  of  the  SEC  and 
NASDAQ and one of whom must have an accounting or related financial management expertise at senior levels within a 
company.

Pursuant  to  recent  amendment  to  the  Israeli  companies  Law,  effective  as  of  February  2016,  an  audit  committee  that 
complies  with  the  requirements  of  the  Israeli  Companies  Law  may  act  also  as  compensation  committee.  Our  board  of 
directors has determined that our audit committee complies with such requirements and therefore, commencing as of May 
2016, it shall serve also as compensation committee.

The current members of our audit and compensation committee are Ms. Nurit Mor, Mr. Elan Sigal and Dr. Alon Dumanis, 
each of whom satisfies the “independence” requirements of both the SEC and NASDAQ. We also comply with Israeli law 
requirements for audit committee members. The audit committee meets at least once each quarter.

Compensation Committee. Our Board of Directors is required to appoint a compensation committee, whose role is to: (i) 
recommend  to the board  on  a  compensation  policy for office  holders  and to  recommend  to the  board, once  every three 
years, on the approval of the continued validity of the compensation policy that was determined for a period exceeding 
three years; (ii) recommend an update the compensation policy from time to time and to examine its implementation; (iii) 
determine  whether  to  approve  the  Terms  of  Service  and  Employment  of  Office  Holders  that  require  the  committee’s 
approval;  and  (iv)  exempt  a  transaction  from  the  requirement  for  shareholders’  approval.  The  compensation  committee 
also  has  oversight  authority  over  the  actual  terms  of  employment  of  directors  and  officers  and  may  make 
recommendations  to  the  board  of  directors  and  the  shareholders  (where  applicable)  with  respect  to  deviation  from  the 
compensation policy that was adopted by the company. Under Israeli law, our compensation committee must consist of no 
less  than  three  members,  including  all  of  our  external  directors  (who  must  constitute  a  majority  of  its  members  of  the 
committee), and the remainder of the members of the compensation committee must be directors whose terms of service 
and  employment  were  determined  pursuant  to  the  applicable  regulations.  The  same  restrictions  on  the  actions  and 
membership  in  the  audit  committee  apply  to  the  compensation  committee  with  respect  to,  among  other  things,  the 
requirement that an external director serve as the chairman of the committee and the list of persons who may not serve on 
the committee. Our board of directors established a compensation committee composed of Ms. Nurit Mor, Mr. Elan Sigal 
and  Dr.  Alon  Dumanis.  In  August  2016,  our  shareholders  approved  an  updated  compensation  policy  for  an  additional 
period of three years.

42

Business  Development  Committee.  In  November  2016,  our  Board  of  Directors  established  a  Business  Development 
Committee  whose  role  is  to  review  and  make  recommendations  to  the  Board  of  Directors  with  respect  to  business 
development  strategies,  plans  and  targets.  The  Business  Development  Committee  is  composed  of  Messrs.  Yossi  Ben 
Shalom, Israel Livnat and Dr. Alon Dumanis.

Internal Audit

The Israeli Companies Law also requires the board of directors of a publicly held company to appoint an internal auditor 
nominated by the audit committee. An internal audit must satisfy the Israeli Companies Law’s independence requirements. 
The  role  of  the  internal  auditor  is  to  examine,  among  other  things,  the  compliance  of  the  company’s  conduct  with 
applicable  law  and  orderly  business  practice.  Under  the  Companies  Law,  the  internal  auditor  may  not  be  an  interested 
party or an office holder, or a relative of any of the foregoing, nor may the internal auditor be the company’s independent 
accountant or its representative. Our internal auditor complies with the requirements of the Israeli Companies Law.

Directors’ Service Contracts

We do not have any service contracts with our directors. However, all of our directors receive director’s fees that are equal 
to  those  paid  to  our  External  Directors.  There  are  no  arrangements  or  understandings  between  us  and  any  of  our 
subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any of our directors, on the other hand, providing for benefits upon termination of their 
employment or service as directors of our company or any of our subsidiaries.

Approval of Related Party Transactions under Israeli Law

Fiduciary Duties of Office Holders

The Israeli Companies Law codifies the fiduciary duties that “office holders,” including directors and executive officers, 
owe  to  a  company.  An  “office  holder”  is  defined  in  the  Israeli  Companies  Law  as  a  director,  general  manager,  chief 
business  manager,  deputy  general  manager,  vice  general  manager,  other  manager  directly  subordinated  to  the  general 
manager  or  any  other  person  assuming  the  responsibilities  of  any  of  the  foregoing  positions  without  regard  to  such 
person’s title. An office holder’s fiduciary duties consist of a duty of care and a fiduciary duty. The duty of care requires 
an office holder to act at a level of care that a reasonable office holder in the same position would employ under the same 
circumstances. This includes the duty to utilize reasonable means to obtain (i) information regarding the appropriateness 
of a given action brought for his approval or performed by him by virtue of his position and (ii) all other information of 
importance pertaining to the foregoing actions. The fiduciary duty includes (i) avoiding any conflict of interest between 
the  office  holder’s  position  in  the  company  and  any  other  position  he  holds  or  his  personal  affairs,  (ii)  avoiding  any 
competition with the company’s business, (iii) avoiding exploiting any business opportunity of the company in order to 
receive  personal  gain  for  the  office  holder  or  others,  and  (iv)  disclosing  to  the  company any  information  or  documents 
relating to the company’s affairs that the office holder has received due to his position as an office holder.

Disclosure of Personal Interests of an Office Holder; Approval of Transactions with Office Holders

The Israeli Companies Law requires that an office holder promptly and no later than the first board meeting at which such 
transaction  is  considered,  disclose  any  personal  interest  that  he  or  she  may  have  and  all  related  material  information 
known to him or her and any documents in their position, in connection with any existing or proposed transaction by us. In 
addition,  if  the  transaction  is  an  extraordinary  transaction,  that  is,  a  transaction  other  than  in  the  ordinary  course  of 
business,  other  than  on  market  terms,  or  likely  to  have  a  material  impact  on  the  company’s  profitability,  assets  or 
liabilities, the office holder must also disclose any personal interest held by the office holder’s spouse, siblings, parents, 
grandparents, descendants, spouse’s descendants and the spouses of any of the foregoing, or by any corporation in which 
the office holder or a relative is 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.

43

Some transactions, actions and arrangements involving an office holder (or a third party in which an office holder has an 
interest) must be approved by the board of directors or as otherwise provided for in a company’s articles of association, 
however, a transaction that is adverse to the company’s interest may not be approved. In some cases, such a transaction 
must be approved by the audit committee and by the board of directors itself, and under certain circumstances shareholder 
approval may also be required. A director who has a personal interest in a transaction that is considered at a meeting of the 
board of directors or the audit committee may not be present during the board of directors or audit committee discussions 
and  may  not  vote  on  the  transaction,  unless  the  transaction  is  not  an  extraordinary  transaction  or  the  majority  of  the 
members of the board or the audit committee have a personal interest, as the case may be. In the event the majority of the 
members of the board of directors or the audit committee have a personal interest, then the approval of the general meeting 
of shareholders is also required.

Approval of a Compensation Policy for Office Holders

The Israeli Companies Law and the regulations adopted thereunder require the compensation committee to adopt a policy 
for director and office holders.

The  compensation  policy  needs  to  be  re-approved  every  three  years  by  the  board  of  directors,  following  the 
recommendation of the compensation committee, and by the company’s shareholders, by a Special Majority (as defined 
below).  In  the  event  that  the  compensation  policy  is  not  so  approved  by  the  shareholders,  the  board  of  directors  may 
nonetheless approve it, provided that the compensation committee and the board of directors, following further discussion 
of the matter and for specified reasons, determine that the approval of the compensation policy is in the best interests of 
the company.

Special Majority means: (a) a majority of the shareholders who are not controlling shareholders of the Company and do 
not have a “Personal Interest” in the approval of the respective resolution who participate in the vote, in person, by proxy 
or by a voting instrument vote to approve it (abstentions will not be taken into account) or (b) the total number of votes of 
the shareholders referred to in (a) above that are voted against the proposed resolution does not exceed two percent (2%) 
of the company’s total voting rights.

The compensation policy serves as the basis for decisions concerning the financial terms of employment or engagement of 
officer holders, including exculpation, insurance, indemnification or any monetary payment or obligation of payment in 
respect of employment or engagement.

In  addition,  compensation  of  the  directors  and  the  Chief  Executive  Officer  is  also  subject  to  the  approval  of  the 
compensation  /audit  committee,  the  board  of  directors  and  the  shareholders  at  a  general  meeting.  The  approval  of  the 
compensation of the Chief Executive Officer is subject to the Special Majority requirements

Any deviations from the compensation policy in respect of the compensation of the office holders require the approval of 
the compensation/audit committee, the board of directors and the shareholders by Special Majority.

Under the Israeli Companies Law, all arrangements as to compensation of office holders who are not directors require the 
approval of the compensation/audit committee prior and in addition to the approval of the board of directors. However, if 
the company duly adopts a compensation plan for its office holders, the approval of the board of directors is not required if 
the  new  arrangement  only  modifies  an  existing  arrangement  and  the  compensation  committee  determines  that  such 
modification is not material.

44

Disclosure of Personal Interests of a Controlling Shareholder; Approval of Transactions with Controlling Shareholders

Pursuant to the Israeli Companies Law, the disclosure requirements regarding personal interests that apply to directors and 
executive officers also apply to a controlling shareholder of a public company. A controlling shareholder is a shareholder 
who has the ability to direct the activities of a company, but excludes a shareholder whose power derives solely from its 
position  on  the  board  of  directors  or  any  other  position  at  the  company.  A  person  is  presumed  to  be  a  “controlling 
shareholder” if it holds or controls, by itself or together with others, one half or more of any one of the “Means of Control” 
of the company. “Means of Control” is defined as any one of the following: (i) the right to vote at a General Meeting of 
the company, or (ii) the right to appoint directors of the company or its Chief Executive Officer. For the purpose of related 
party  translations,  under  the  Israeli  Companies  Law,  a  controlling  shareholder  is  also  a  shareholder  who  holds  25%  or 
more  of  the  voting  rights  if  no  other  shareholder  who  holds  more  than  50%  of  the  voting  rights.  For  this  purpose,  the 
holdings of all shareholders who have a personal interest in the same transaction will be aggregated. As of Admission, the 
company does not have a controlling shareholder.

Certain  shareholders  also  have  a  duty  of  fairness  toward  the  company.  These  shareholders  include  any  controlling 
shareholder, together with any shareholder  who knows  that it  has the power to determine the outcome  of  a shareholder 
vote and any shareholder who has the power to appoint or to prevent the appointment of an office holder of the company 
or exercise any other rights available to it under the company’s articles of association with respect to the company. The 
Israeli Companies Law does not define the substance of this duty of fairness, except to state that the remedies generally 
available upon a breach of contract will also apply in the event of a breach of the duty of fairness.

An  extraordinary  transaction  between  a  public  company  and  a  controlling  shareholder,  or  in  which  a  controlling 
shareholder  has  a  personal  interest,  including  a  private  placement  in  which  the  controlling  shareholder  has  a  personal 
interest, and the terms of engagement of the company, directly or indirectly, with a controlling shareholder or a controlling 
shareholder’s relative (including through a corporation controlled by a controlling shareholder), regarding the company’s 
receipt  of  services  from  the  controlling  shareholder,  and  if  such  controlling  shareholder  is  also  an  office  holder  of  the 
company,  regarding  his  or  her  terms  of  employment,  require  the  approval  of  a  company’s  audit  committee  (or 
compensation committee with respect to compensation arrangements), board of directors and shareholders, in that order. 
Such transaction must be elected by a majority vote of the Ordinary Shares present and voting at a shareholders’ meeting, 
provided  that  either:  (i)  such  majority  includes  at  least  a  majority  of  votes  held  by  all  shareholders  who  do  not  have  a 
personal interest in such transaction, present and voting at such meeting (excluding abstentions); or (ii) the total number of 
votes  of  shareholders  who  do  not  have  a  personal  interest  in  such  transaction  voting  against  the  approval  of  the 
transaction, does not exceed 2% of the aggregate voting rights in the company.

Pursuant  to  the  Israeli  Companies  Law,  the  audit  committee  of  the  company  should  determine  in  connection  with  such 
transaction  if  it  requires  rendering  pursuant  to  a  competitive  procedure  or  pursuant  to  other  proceedings.  See  “Audit 
Committee” above.

To the extent that any such transaction with a controlling shareholder or his relative is for a period extending beyond three 
years,  shareholder  approval  is  required  once  every  three  years,  unless,  in  respect  to  certain  transactions,  the  audit 
committee determines that the longer duration of the transaction is reasonable under the circumstances.

Pursuant to regulations promulgated pursuant to the Israeli Companies Law, a transaction with a controlling shareholder 
that  would  otherwise  require  approval  of  the  shareholders  is  exempt  from  shareholders’  approval  if  each  of  the  audit 
committee  and  the  board  of  directors  determine  that  the  transaction  meets  certain  criteria  that  are  set  out  in  specific 
regulations promulgated under the Israeli Companies Law. Under these regulations, a shareholder holding at least 1% of 
the issued share capital of the company may require, within 14 days of the publication of such determination, that despite 
such determination by the audit committee and the board of directors, such transaction will require shareholder approval 
under the same majority requirements that otherwise apply to such transactions.

The Israeli Companies Law provides that an acquisition of shares in a public company must be made by means of a tender 
offer if as a result of the acquisition the purchaser would become a 25% or greater shareholder of the company. This rule 
does  not  apply  if  there  is  already  another  25%  or  greater  shareholder  of  the  company.  Similarly,  the  Israeli  Companies 
Law provides that an acquisition of shares in a public company must be made by means of a tender offer if as a result of 
the acquisition the purchaser would hold greater than a 45% interest in the company, unless there is another shareholder 
holding more than a 45% interest in the company. These requirements do not apply if, in general, (i) the acquisition was 
made  in  a  private  placement  that  received  shareholder  approval,  (ii)  was  from  a  25%  or  greater  shareholder  of  the 
company which resulted in the acquirer becoming a 25% or greater shareholder of the company, if there is not already a 
25% or greater shareholder of the company, or (iii) was from a shareholder holding a 45% interest in the company which 
resulted  in  the  acquirer  becoming  a  holder  of  a  45%  interest  in  the  company  if  there  is  not  already  a  45%  or  greater 
shareholder of the company.

If, as a result of an acquisition of shares, the acquirer will hold more than 90% of a public company’s outstanding shares 
or a class of shares, the acquisition must be made by means of a tender offer for all of the outstanding shares or a class of 
shares. If less than 5% of the outstanding shares are not tendered in the tender offer, all the shares that the acquirer offered 
to purchase will be transferred to the acquirer. If more than 5% of the outstanding shares are not tendered in the tender 
offer, then the acquirer may not acquire shares in the tender offer that will cause his shareholding to exceed 90% of the 
outstanding  shares.  The  Israeli  Companies  Law  provides  for  appraisal  rights  if  any  shareholder  files  a  request  in  court 
within  six  months  following  the  consummation  of  a  full  tender  offer.  However,  in  the  event  of  a  full  tender  offer,  the 
offeror  may  determine  that  any  shareholder  who  accepts  the  offer  will  not  be  entitled  to  appraisal  rights.  Such 
determination will be effective only if the offeror or the company has timely published all the information that is required 
to be published in connection with such full tender offer pursuant to all applicable laws.

Exculpation, Indemnification and Insurance of Directors and Officers

Exculpation of Office Holders

The Israeli Companies Law provides that an Israeli company cannot exculpate an office holder from liability with respect 
to a breach of his or her duty of loyalty. If permitted by its articles of association, a company may exculpate in advance an 
office holder from his or her liability to the company, in whole or in part, with respect to a breach of his or her duty of 
care. However, a company may not exculpate in advance a director from his or her liability to the company with respect to 
a breach of his duty of care in the event of distributions.

Insurance of Office Holders

The Israeli Companies Law provides that a company may, if permitted by its articles of association, enter into a contract to 
insure office holders in respect of liabilities incurred by the office holder with a respect to an act performed in his or her 
capacity as an office holder, as a result of:

● a breach of the office holder’s duty of care to the company or to another person;

● a breach of the office holder’s duty of loyalty to the company, provided that the office holder acted in good 
faith and had reasonable cause to assume that his or her act would not prejudice the company’s interests; or

● a financial liability imposed upon the office holder in favor of another person.

Indemnification of Office Holders

The Israeli Companies Law provides that a company may, if permitted by its articles of association, indemnify an office 
holder for acts or omissions performed by the office holder in such capacity for:

● a monetary liability imposed on the office holder in favor of another person by any judgment, including a 

settlement or an arbitrator’s award approved by a court;

● reasonable litigation expenses, including attorney’s fees, actually incurred by the office holder as a result of 
an  investigation  or  proceeding  instituted  against  him  or  her  by  a  competent  authority,  provided  that  such 
investigation  or  proceeding  concluded  without  the  filing  of  an  indictment  against  the  office  holder  or  the 
imposition  of  any  monetary  liability  in  lieu  of  criminal  proceedings,  or  concluded  without  the  filing  of  an 
indictment  against  the  office  holder  and  a  monetary  liability  was  imposed  on  the  officer  holder  in  lieu  of 
criminal proceedings with respect to a criminal offense that does not require proof of criminal intent; and

46

● reasonable  litigation  expenses,  including  attorneys’  fees,  incurred  by  the  office  holder  or  which  were 
imposed on him or her by a court, in an action instituted by the company or on the company’s behalf or by 
another  person,  against  the  office  holder,  or  in  a  criminal  charge  from  which  he  was  acquitted,  or  in  a 
criminal proceeding in which the office holder was convicted of a criminal offense which does not require 
proof of criminal intent.

In accordance with the Israeli Companies Law, a company’s articles of association may permit the company to:

● prospectively  undertake  to  indemnify  an  office  holder,  except  that  with  respect  to  a  monetary  liability 
imposed  on  the  office  holder  by  any  judgment,  settlement  or  court-approved  arbitration  award,  the 
undertaking must  be limited to types of  events  which the company’s board of directors  deems  foreseeable 
considering the company’s actual operations at the time of the undertaking, and to an amount or standard that 
the board of directors has determined as reasonable under the circumstances.

● retroactively indemnify an office holder of the company.

Limitations on Exculpation, Insurance and Indemnification

The Israeli Companies Law provides that neither a provision of the articles of association permitting the company to enter 
into a contract to insure the liability of an office holder, nor a provision in the articles of association or a resolution of the 
board  of  directors  permitting  the  indemnification  of  an  office  holder,  nor  a  provision  in  the  articles  of  association 
exculpating  an  office  holder  from  duty  to  the  company  shall  be  valid,  where  such  insurance,  indemnification  or 
exculpation relates to any of the following:

● a  breach  by  the  office  holder  of  his  duty  of  loyalty  unless,  with  respect  to  insurance  coverage  or 
indemnification, the office holder acted in good faith and had a reasonable basis to believe that the act would 
not prejudice the company;

● a breach by the office holder of his duty of care if such breach was committed intentionally or recklessly, 

unless the breach was committed only negligently;

● any act or omission done with the intent to unlawfully yield a personal benefit; or

● any fine or forfeiture imposed on the office holder.

Pursuant  to  the  Israeli  Companies  Law,  exculpation  of,  procurement  of  insurance  coverage  for,  and  an  undertaking  to 
indemnify or indemnification of, our office holders must be approved by our audit committee and our board of directors 
and, if the office holder is a director, also by our shareholders.

Our Articles of Association allow us to insure, indemnify and exempt our office holders to the fullest extent permitted by 
law, subject to the provisions of the Israeli Companies Law. Up until August 2017 we maintained directors and officers 
liability insurance policy with per claim and aggregate coverage limit of $7.5 million. On August 2017, our Compensation 
Committee and Board of Directors approved an increase in the per claim coverage and aggregate coverage of up to $10 
million under its directors and officers liability insurance policy. Pursuant to resolutions adopted by our shareholders on 
May  15,  2016,  we  have  also  entered  into  agreements  with  our  directors  and  officeholders  providing  for  their 
indemnification and exemption from the duty of care.

D. Employees

As of December 31, 2017, we employed 112 persons, of whom 38 persons were employed in research, development and 
engineering, 60 persons in manufacturing and logistics, 5 persons in sales and marketing, and 9 persons in administration, 
management  and  finance.  All  of  our  employees  are  located  in  Israel.  In  addition,  CACS,  our  80%  owned  subsidiary, 
employed 17 persons in China as of such date.

As of December 31, 2016, we employed 93 persons, of whom 35 persons were employed in research, development and 
engineering, 48 persons in manufacturing and logistics, 3 persons in sales and marketing, and 7 persons in administration, 
management  and  finance.  All  of  our  employees  are  located  in  Israel.  In  addition,  CACS,  our  80%  owned  subsidiary, 
employed 16 persons in China as of such date.

As of December 31, 2015, we employed 105 persons, of whom 45 persons were employed in research, development and 
engineering, 51 persons in manufacturing and logistics, 2 persons in sales and marketing, and 7 persons in administration, 
management  and  finance.  All  of  our  employees  are  located  in  Israel.  In  addition,  CACS,  our  80%  owned  subsidiary, 
employed 16 persons in China as of such date.

Our  technical  employees  have  signed  nondisclosure  agreements  covering  all  proprietary  information  that  they  might 
possess  or  to  which  they  might  have  access.  Employees  are  not  organized  in  any  union,  although  they  are  employed 
according to provisions established by the Israeli Ministry of Economy and Industry. Certain provisions of the collective 
bargaining  agreements  between  the  General  Federation  of  Labor  in  Israel  (Histadrut)  and  the  Coordination  Bureau  of 
Economic Organizations (including the Industrialists Association) are applicable to our Israeli employees by order of the 
Israeli Ministry of Economy and Industry. These provisions primarily concern the length of the workday, minimum daily 
wages  for  professional  workers,  contributions  to  a  pension  fund,  insurance  for  work-related  accidents,  procedures  for 
dismissing  employees,  determination  of  severance  pay  and  other  conditions  of  employment.  We  generally  provide  our 
employees with benefits and working conditions beyond the required minimums.

Israeli law generally requires severance pay upon the retirement or death of an employee or termination of employment 
without  due  cause.  Further,  Israeli  employees  and  employers  are  required  to  pay  predetermined  sums  to  the  National 
Insurance  Institute;  such  amounts  also  include  payments  for  national  health  insurance.  Most  of  our  ongoing  severance 
obligations for our Israeli employees are provided for by monthly payments made by us for insurance policies to cover 
these obligations.

Significant Changes in the Ownership of Major Shareholders

On June 2, 2016, DBSI first reported beneficial ownership of more than five percent (5%) of our issued and outstanding 
ordinary shares. DBSI purchased 8,510,638 newly issued ordinary shares as well as warrants to purchase up to 4,255,319 
shares, at an exercise price of $0.47 per share, exercisable within 24 months following the closing on May 18, 2016, and 
warrants  to  purchase  up  to 3,636,363 shares,  at  an  exercise  price  of  $0.55  per  share  exercisable  within  48  months 
following the closing, as well as the right to acquire up to a maximum of 6,755,319 additional ordinary shares pursuant to 
the  conversion  by  DBSI  of  a  convertible  loan  in  the  amount  of  $3,175,000.  These  holdings  amounted  to  a  67.4% 
ownership of our company. On June 15, 2016, DBSI funded the full loan amount ($3,175,000) at the request of a special, 
independent committee of our board of directors. DBSI has since regularly reported on Form 13D/A sales of our ordinary 
shares  and  of  exercises  of  warrants.  On  January  25,  2017,  DBSI  reported  that  it  had  sold  an  aggregate  of 
1,402,389 additional ordinary shares and that it had exercised warrants to purchase an additional 531,915 ordinary shares. 
The  aggregate  impact  of  these  transactions  reduced  DBSI’s  beneficial  ownership  from  61.3%  to  56.0%.  Further 
transactions reduced DBSI’s ownership in our company to the current level of 27.37%.

On February 8, 2017, Yelin Lapidot Holdings Management Ltd., jointly with Messrs. Dov Yelin and Yair Lapidot, filed a 
Schedule 13G/A with the SEC reflecting ownership of 1,790,284, or 4.04%, of our ordinary shares as of December 31, 
2016. On February 3, 2015, Yelin Lapidot Holdings Management Ltd., jointly with Messrs. Dov Yelin and Yair Lapidot, 
filed a Schedule 13G/A with the SEC reflecting ownership of 2,400,005, or 5.41%, of our ordinary shares as of December 
31,  2015.  On  October  12,  2015, Yelin  Lapidot  Holdings  Management  Ltd., jointly  with  Messrs.  Dov  Yelin  and  Yair 
Lapidot filed a Schedule 13G/A with the SEC reflecting ownership of 1,663,942, or 5.55%, of our ordinary shares.

On January 19, 2017, Sphera Capital Ltd., an investment management company for Sphera Small Cap Fund Ltd., and the 
portfolio  manager  of  Sphera  Capital,  Mr.  Ron  Senator,  reported  that  they  purchased  1,260,504  ordinary  shares  of  our 
company  for  a  total  beneficial  ownership  of  6.78%  of  our  company.  On  February  13,  2018,  they  reported  on  Schedule 
13/G that they own 973,032, or 3.25%, of our ordinary shares.

On November 10, 2016, the Phoenix Insurance Company Ltd. and its affiliate, Shotfut-Menayot-Israel-HaPhoenix Amitim 
Ltd., purchased 1,904,762 ordinary shares from us in a registered offering. On August 29, 2017, the Phoenix Insurance 
Company reported that  it held  2,601,418,  or  11.20%,  of our  ordinary  shares. On  December  27,  2017,  it  reported  that  it 
held 1,455,870, or 4.86%, of our ordinary shares. 

On  April  7,  2015,  Howard  Yeung  reported  on  a  Schedule  13D/A  that  he  owned  directly  1,560,995  ordinary  shares, 
representing 34.73% of our outstanding ordinary shares. On August 28, 2015, Mr. Yeung reported on a Schedule 13D/A 
that he owned 1,560,995 ordinary shares, representing 19.63% of our outstanding ordinary shares. This dilution was the 
result of our public offering conducted in July 2015. On August 8, 2016, Mr. Yeung reported that the secured convertible 
notes in the amount of $3,000,000 issued to Mr. Yeung on December 10, 2007 were fully repaid on June 16, 2016, which 
reduced Mr. Yeung’s holdings on a beneficial basis, taking into account the termination of the conversion feature of the 
note.  In  addition,  the  issuance  of 8,510,638  ordinary  shares  to  DBSI  Investments  Ltd.  in  a  transaction  which  closed  on 
May  18,  2016,  significantly  diluted  Mr.  Yeung’s  holdings  to  10.85%  based  on  16,460,120  ordinary  shares  issued  and 
outstanding as of June 14, 2016. 

Shareholders Voting Rights

Our major shareholders do not have different voting rights.

Record Holders

Based on a review of the information provided to us by American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, our transfer agent, as 
of  March  26,  2018,  there  were  74  holders  of  record  of  our  ordinary  shares,  of  which  62  record  holders  holding 
approximately  72%  of  our  ordinary  shares  had  registered  addresses  in  the  United  States,  including  banks,  brokers  and 
nominees.  These  numbers  are  not  representative  of  the  number  of  beneficial  holders  of  our  shares  nor  are  they 
representative of where such beneficial holders reside, since many of these ordinary shares were held of record by banks, 
brokers or other nominees.

B. Related Party Transactions

On July 30, 2015, we completed a public offering of 3,455,285 ordinary shares, offered at a price to the public of $2.46 
per share. We received gross proceeds of $8,500,000 before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other 
offering  expenses.  Issuance  costs  amounted  to  approximately  $1,070,000.  As  of  December  31,  2015,  the  remaining 
principal amount of the debt owed under the standstill agreement was $3,090,000.

On May 18, 2016, we completed the sale to DBSI of 8,510,638 of our ordinary shares in consideration for approximately 
$4,000,000, reflecting a price per share of $0.47. In addition, we issued to DBSI warrants to purchase 4,255,319 ordinary 
shares at an exercise price per share of $0.47 (resulting in an aggregate exercise price of $2,000,000), exercisable for a 
period of 24 months following the date of the initial investment and warrants to purchase an additional 3,636,363 shares at 
an exercise price per share of $0.55 (resulting in an aggregate exercise price of $2,000,000), exercisable for a period of 48 
months following the date of the initial investment.

DBSI also granted our company an option, exercisable either by either us or DBSI, for us to obtain a convertible loan in 
the principal amount of up to $3,175,000 solely for the purpose of the repayment of the outstanding shareholders’ debt. 
We exercised such option in June 2016. In August 2017, DBSI converted the entire principal loan into 1,322,917 ordinary 
shares reflecting a conversion price of $2.40 per share.

Form F-3 Registration Statements

Pursuant to the registration rights agreements we entered into with DBSI in 2016 and 2017, we filed several registration 
statements on Form F-3 relating to the resale of the ordinary shares held by DBSI.

On August 24, 2016, we filed a registration statement on Form S-8 which included a “reoffer prospectus” in connection 
with reoffers and resales of “control securities” by certain of our officers. We registered 168,750 ordinary shares on behalf 
of Zvi Alon, our former Chief Executive Officer, 131,250 ordinary shares on behalf of Shiri Lazarovich, our former Chief

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

A. Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information

Export Sales

Export sales constitute a significant portion of our sales. In 2017, we had approximately $19,819 million of export sales, 
constituting  approximately  76%  of  our  total  sales.  For  further  information  regarding  the  allocation  of  our  revenues  by 
geographic region see Item 4 – “Information on the Company-Markets.”

Legal Proceedings

Currently, we are not a party to any legal proceedings; however, from time to time we are involved in legal proceedings 
arising from the operation of our business. Based on the advice of our legal counsel, management believes such current 
proceedings, if any, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

Dividend Distribution Policy

We have never paid cash dividends to our shareholders. We intend to retain future earnings for use in our business and do 
not anticipate paying cash dividends on our ordinary shares in the foreseeable future. Any future dividend policy will be 
determined by the board of directors and will be based upon conditions then existing, including our results of operations, 
financial  condition,  current  and  anticipated  cash  needs,  contractual  restrictions  and  other  conditions  as  the  board  of 
directors may deem relevant.

According to the Israeli Companies Law, a company may distribute dividends out of its profits, so long as the company 
reasonably  believes  that  such  dividend  distribution  will  not  prevent  the  company  from  paying  all  its  current  and  future 
debts. Profits, for purposes of the Israeli Companies Law, means the greater of retained earnings or earnings accumulated 
during the preceding two years. In the event cash dividends are declared, such dividends will be paid in NIS.

B. Memorandum and Articles of Association

Purposes and Objectives of the Company

We are registered with the Israeli Companies Registry and have been assigned company number 52-003532-0. Section 2 
of  our  memorandum  of  association  provides  that  we  were  established  for  the  purpose  of  engaging  in  the  business  of 
providing services of planning, development, consultation and instruction in the electronics field. In addition, the purpose 
of our company is to perform various corporate activities permissible under Israeli law.

On  February  1,  2000,  the  Israeli  Companies  Law  came  into  effect  and  superseded  most  of  the  provisions  of  the  Israeli 
Companies  Ordinance  (New  Version),  5743-1983,  except  for  certain  provisions  which  relate  to  liens,  bankruptcy, 
dissolution  and  liquidation  of  companies.  Under  the  Israeli  Companies  Law,  as  recently  amended,  various  provisions, 
some of which are detailed below, overrule the current provisions of our articles of association.

The Powers of the Directors

Under  the  provisions  of  the  Israeli  Companies  Law,  and  our  articles  of  association,  a  director  cannot  participate  in  a 
meeting  nor  vote  on  a  proposal,  arrangement  or  contract  in  which  he  or  she  is  materially  interested.  In  addition,  our 
directors  cannot  vote  compensation  to  themselves  or  any  members  of  their  body  without  the  approval  of  our  audit 
committee and our shareholders at a general meeting. The authority of our directors to enter into borrowing arrangements 
on our behalf is not limited, except in the same manner as any other transaction by us.

Under our articles of association, retirement of directors from office is not subject to any age limitation and our directors 
are not required to own shares in our company in order to qualify to serve as directors.

Rights Attached to Shares

Our authorized share capital consists of 37,500,000 ordinary shares of a nominal value of NIS 0.03 each. All outstanding 
ordinary shares are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. The rights attached to the ordinary shares are as follows:

54

The rights attached to the ordinary shares are as follows:

Dividend rights. Holders of our ordinary shares are entitled to the full amount of any cash or share dividend subsequently 
declared. The board of directors may declare interim dividends and propose the final dividend with respect to any fiscal 
year  only  out of  the  retained  earnings, in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  the  Israeli  Companies  Law.  Our  articles  of 
association provide that the declaration of a dividend requires approval of the board of directors. See Item 8A. “Financial 
Information – Consolidated and Other Financial Information – Dividend Distribution Policy.” If after one year a dividend 
has been declared and it is still unclaimed, the board of directors is entitled to invest or utilize the unclaimed amount of 
dividend in any manner to our benefit until it is claimed. We are not obligated to pay interest or linkage differentials on an 
unclaimed dividend.

Voting rights. 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.

Except as otherwise required by the Israeli Companies Law, a resolution of the Shareholders shall be deemed adopted if 
approved  by  the  holders  of  a  simple  majority  of  the  voting  power  represented  at  the  General  Meeting  in  person  or  by 
proxy  and  voting  thereon,  as  one  class,  and  disregarding  abstentions  from  the  count  of  the  voting  power  present  and 
voting.

Pursuant  to  our  Articles  of  Association,  our  directors,  except  for  the  external  directors,  shall  be  elected  at  the  Annual 
General Meeting by the vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power represented at such meeting in person or by 
proxy  and  voting on the election of directors, and each  director shall generally  serve  until  the Annual General Meeting 
next  following  the  Annual  General  Meeting  at  which  such  director  was  appointed,  or  his  earlier  vacation  of  office  or 
removal pursuant to the Articles of Association. Except with respect to the removal of external directors, the shareholders 
shall be entitled to remove any director(s) from office, by a simple majority of the voting power represented at the meeting 
in person or by proxy and voting thereon. All the members of our Board of Directors (except the external directors) may 
be reelected upon completion of their term of office. For information regarding the election of external directors, see Item 
6C “Directors, Senior Management and Employees - Board Practices -Election of Directors.”

Rights  to  share  in  the  company’s  profits.  Our  shareholders  have  the  right,  in  accordance  with  the  Board  of  Directors 
resolution,  to  share  in  our  profits  distributed  as  a  dividend  and  any  other  permitted  distribution.  See  this  Item  10B. 
“Additional Information – Memorandum and Articles of Association – Rights Attached to Shares – Dividend Rights.”

Rights  to  share  in  surplus  in  the  event  of  liquidation.  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 
holdings. This 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.

Liability  to  capital  calls  by  the  company.  Under  our  memorandum  of  association  and  the  Israeli  Companies  Law,  the 
liability of our shareholders is limited to the par value of the shares held by them.

Limitations on any existing or prospective major shareholder.

See Item 6C. “Directors, Senior Management and Employees - Board Practices – Approval of Related Party Transactions 
under Israeli Law.”

Changing Rights Attached to Shares

According to the Articles of Association, in order to change the rights attached to any class of shares, unless otherwise 
provided by the terms of the class, such change must be adopted by a general meeting of the shareholders with a simple 
majority of the class of shares so effected, and a simple majority vote of all classes of shares voting together as a single 
class at a General Meeting.

55

Annual and Extraordinary General Meetings

The  board  of  directors  must  convene  an  annual  meeting  of  shareholders  at  least  once  every  calendar  year,  within  15 
months of the last annual meeting. Depending on the matter to be voted upon, notice of at least 21 days or 35 days prior to 
the  date  of  the  meeting  is  required.  Our  board  of  directors  may,  in  its  discretion,  convene  additional  meetings  as 
“Extraordinary  General  Meetings.”  In  addition,  the  board  of  directors  must  convene  an  Extraordinary  General  Meeting 
upon the demand of two of the directors, 25% of the nominated directors, one or more shareholders having at least 5% of 
the outstanding share capital and at least 1% of the voting power in the company, or one or more shareholders having at 
least 5% of the voting power in the company.

The  quorum  required  for  a  General  Meeting  of  shareholders  consists  of  at  least  two  shareholders  present  in  person  or 
represented by proxy who hold or represent, in the aggregate, at least 25% 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 or to such day and at such time and place as 
the Chairman of the General Meeting shall determine. At the reconvened meeting, if the original meeting was convened 
upon the demand of one or more shareholders having at least 5% of the outstanding share capital and at least 1% of the 
voting power in the company, or one or more shareholders having at least 5% of the voting power in the company, the 
quorum will be one or more Shareholders, present in person or by proxy, and holding the number of shares required for 
making  such  requisition.  In  any  other  case  the  required  quorum  consists  of  any  two  members  present  in  person  or  by 
proxy.

Limitations on the Rights to Own Securities in Our Company

Neither our memorandum of association or our articles of association nor the laws of the State of Israel restrict in any way 
the ownership or voting of shares by non-residents, except with respect to subjects of countries which are in a state of war 
with Israel.

Provisions Restricting Change in Control of Our Company

The Israeli Companies Law requires that mergers between Israeli companies be approved by the board of directors and 
general  meeting  of  shareholders  of  both  parties  to  the  transaction.  The  approval  of  the  board  of  directors  of  both 
companies  is  subject  to  such  board’s  confirmation  that  there  is  no  reasonable  doubt  that  after  the  merger  the  surviving 
company  will  be  able  to  fulfill  its  obligations  towards  its  creditors.  Each  company  must  notify  its  creditors  about  the 
contemplated  merger.  Generally,  under  the  Israeli  Companies  Law,  our  articles  of  association  are  deemed  to  include  a 
requirement that such merger be approved by a special resolution of the shareholders, as explained above. The approval of 
the merger by the general meetings of shareholders of the companies is also subject to additional approval requirements as 
specified  in  the  Israeli  Companies  Law  and  regulations  promulgated  thereunder.  For  purposes  of  the  shareholders’ 
approval, the merger shall not be deemed as granted, unless the court determines otherwise, if it is not supported by the 
majority of the shares represented at the general meeting, other than those shares that are held by the other party to the 
merger or by any shareholder holding 25% or more of the outstanding share capital of the company or the right to appoint 
25% or more of the members of the board of directors. The Israeli Companies Law also provides that an acquisition of 
shares of a public company must be made by means of a special tender offer if as a result of the acquisition the purchaser 
would become a 25% or greater shareholder of the company and there is no existing 25% or greater shareholder in the 
company. An acquisition of shares of a public company must also be made by means of a tender offer if as a result of the 
acquisition  the  purchaser  would  become  a  45%  or  greater  shareholder  of  the  company  and  there  is  no  existing  45%  or 
greater  shareholder  in  the  company.  These  requirements  do  not  apply  if  the  acquisition  (i)  was  made  through  a  private 
placement that received shareholder approval, (ii) was from a 25% shareholder of the company and resulted in the acquirer 
becoming  a  25%  shareholder  of  the  company  or  (iii)  was  from  a  45%  shareholder  of  the  company  and  resulted  in  the 
acquirer becoming a 45% shareholder of the company. The special tender offer must be extended to all shareholders but, 
the  offer  may  include  explicit  limitations  allowing  the  offeror  not  to  purchase  shares  representing  more  than  5%  of  the 
voting power attached to the company’s outstanding shares, regardless of how many shares are tendered by shareholders. 
The special tender offer may be effected only if (i) at least 5% of the voting power attached to the company’s outstanding 
shares will  be acquired by the  offeror  and (ii) the number of shares tendered in  the offer exceeds the number of shares 
whose holders objected to the offer.

56

If, as a result of an acquisition of shares, the acquirer will hold more than 90% of the outstanding shares, the acquisition 
must be made by means of a tender offer for the entire outstanding shares. In such event, if less than 5% of the outstanding 
shares are not tendered in the tender offer, all the shares of the company will be deemed as tendered and sold. However, if 
more than 5% of the outstanding shares are not tendered in the tender offer, then the acquirer may not acquire any shares 
at all. The law provides for appraisal allowing any shareholder to file a motion to the court within six months following 
the consummation of a full tender offer. However, in the event of a full tender offer, the offeror may determine that any 
shareholder who accepts the offer will not be entitled to appraisal rights. Such determination will be effective only if the 
offeror or the company has timely published all the information that is required to be published in connection with such 
full tender offer pursuant to all applicable laws.

In  addition,  the  purchase  of  25%  or  more  of  the  outstanding  share  capital  of  a  company  or  the  purchase  of  substantial 
assets of a company requires, under certain conditions the approval of the Restrictive Practices Authority. Furthermore, if 
the target company has received tax incentives of grants from the Innovation Authority, changes in ownership may require 
also the approval of the tax authorities or the Innovation Authority, as applicable.

Disclosure of Shareholders Ownership

The Israeli Securities Law and regulations promulgated thereunder do not require a company whose shares are publicly 
traded solely in a stock exchange outside of Israel, as in the case of our company, to disclose its share ownership.

Changes in Our Capital

Changes  in  our  capital  are  subject  to  the  approval  of  the  shareholders  at  a  general  meeting  by  a  simple  majority  of  the 
votes of shareholders participating and voting in the general meeting.

C Material Contracts

We do not deem any individual contract to be a material contract which is not already discussed and filed as an exhibit or 
in the ordinary course of our business.

D Exchange Controls

Israeli law and regulations do not impose any material foreign exchange restrictions on non-Israeli holders of our ordinary 
shares.

Non-residents  of  Israel  who  purchase  our  ordinary  shares  will  be  able  to  convert  dividends,  if  any,  thereon,  and  any 
amounts  payable  upon  our  dissolution,  liquidation  or  winding  up,  as  well  as  the  proceeds  of  any  sale  in  Israel  of  our 
ordinary  shares  to  an  Israeli  resident,  into  freely  repairable  dollars,  at  the  exchange  rate  prevailing  at  the  time  of 
conversion, provided that the Israeli income tax has been withheld (or paid) with respect to such amounts or an exemption 
has been obtained.

E Taxation

The following is a discussion of Israeli and United States tax consequences material to us and our shareholders. To the 
extent  that  the  discussion  is  based  on  new  tax  legislation  which  has  not  been  subject  to  judicial  or  administrative 
interpretation,  the  views  expressed  in  the  discussion  might  not  be  accepted  by  the  tax  authorities  in  question.  The 
discussion  is  not  intended,  and  should  not  be  construed,  as  legal  or  professional  tax  advice  and  does  not  exhaust  all 
possible tax considerations.

Holders  of  our  ordinary  shares  should  consult  their  own  tax  advisors  as  to  the  United  States,  Israeli  or  other  tax 
consequences  of  the  purchase,  ownership  and  disposition  of  ordinary  shares,  including,  in  particular,  the  effect  of  any 
foreign, state or local taxes.

57

Israeli Tax Considerations

The  following  is  a  summary  of  the  current  tax  structure  applicable  to  companies  in  Israel,  with  special  reference  to  its 
effect  on  us.  The  following  also  contains  a  discussion  of  the  material  Israeli  tax  consequences  to  purchasers  of  our 
ordinary shares and Israeli government programs benefiting us. This summary does not discuss all the aspects of Israeli 
tax law that may be relevant to a particular investor in light of his or her personal investment circumstances or to some 
types  of  investors  subject  to  special  treatment  under  Israeli  law.  Examples  of  this  kind  of  investor  include  residents  of 
Israel or traders in securities who are subject to special tax regimes not covered in this discussion. Since some parts of this 
discussion are based on new tax legislation that  has not yet been subject  to judicial  or  administrative interpretation, we 
cannot assure you that the appropriate tax authorities or the courts will accept the views expressed in this discussion.

General Corporate Tax Rate

Generally, Israeli companies were subject to corporate tax on taxable income and capital gains at the rate of 24%, 25% 
and 26.5% for the tax years 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Law for the Encouragement of Industry (Taxes), 1969

We qualify as an “Industrial Company” under the Law for the Encouragement of Industry (Taxes), 1969 (the “Industrial 
Encouragement Law”). The Industrial Encouragement Law defines an “Industrial Company” as a company that is resident 
in Israel and that derives at least 90% of its income in any tax year, other than income from defense loans, capital gains, 
interest and dividends, from an enterprise whose major activity in a given tax year is industrial production.

The principal benefit from the above law is the deduction of expenses in connection with a public offering. Also, under the 
industrial Encouragement Law an “Industrial Company” is entitled to special rates of depreciation for industrial equipment 
and in addition to amortization of the cost of purchased know-how and patents over an eight years period for tax purposes 
and an accelerated depreciation rate on equipment.

Eligibility  for  the  benefits  under  the  Industry  Encouragement  Law  is  not  subject  to  receipt  of  prior  approval  from  any 
governmental authority.

Capital Gains Tax on Sales of Our Ordinary Shares

Capital gains tax is imposed on the disposal of capital assets by an Israeli resident and on the disposal of such assets by a 
non-Israeli  resident  if  those  assets  are  either  (i)  located  in  Israel;  (ii)  shares  or  rights  to  shares  in  an  Israeli  resident 
company,  or  (iii)  represent,  directly  or  indirectly,  rights  to  assets  located  in  Israel.  The  Israeli  Income  Tax  Ordinance 
distinguishes  between  “Real  Capital  Gain”  and  “Inflationary  Surplus.”  The  Real  Capital  Gain  on  the  disposition  of  a 
capital  asset  is  the  amount  of  total  capital  gain  in  excess  of  Inflationary  Surplus.  Inflationary  Surplus  is  computed, 
generally, on the basis of the increase in the Israeli Consumer Price Index between the date of purchase and the date of 
disposal of the capital asset.

Under income tax regulations shareholders that are not Israeli residents are generally exempt from Israeli capital gains tax 
on any gains derived from the sale, exchange or disposition of our ordinary shares, provided that: (1) the securities were 
purchased upon or after the registration of the securities on a stock exchange (this requirement generally does not apply to 
shares purchased on or after January 1, 2009); (2) the seller of the securities does not have a permanent establishment in 
Israel to which the generated capital gain is attributed; and (3) such gains did not derive from a permanent establishment 
or business activity of such shareholders in Israel. However, non-Israeli corporations will not be entitled to the foregoing 
exemptions if an Israeli resident (i) has a controlling interest of 25% or more in such non-Israeli corporation, or (ii) is the 
beneficiary of or is entitled to 25% or more of the revenues or profits of such non-Israeli corporation, whether directly or 
indirectly.

58

Under the U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty, the sale, exchange or disposition of our ordinary shares by a shareholder who is a U.S. 
resident (for purposes of the U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty) holding the ordinary shares as a capital asset is exempt from Israeli 
capital  gains  tax  unless  either  (i)  the  shareholder  holds,  directly  or  indirectly,  shares  representing  10%  or  more  of  our 
voting capital during any part of the 12-month period preceding such sale, exchange or disposition, (ii) ) or the seller, if an 
individual, has been present in Israel for more than 183 days (in the aggregate) during the taxable year, or (iii) the capital 
gains arising from such sale are attributable to a permanent establishment of the shareholder located in Israel. However, 
under  the  U.S.-Israel  Tax  Treaty,  U.S.  Residents  would  be  permitted  to  claim  a  credit  for  such  taxes  against  the  U.S. 
federal  income  tax  imposed  with  respect  to  such  sale,  exchange  or  disposition,  subject  to  limitations  in  U.S.  laws 
applicable to foreign tax credits. The treaty does not relate to U.S. state or local taxes.

Individual and corporate shareholders dealing in securities in Israel are taxed at the tax rates applicable to business income 
(a tax rate of 24% for a corporation in 2011, 25% in 2012 and 2013 and 26.5% in 2014 and 2015 and 25% in 2016 and 
thereafter)  and  a  marginal  tax  rate  of  up  to  45%  for  an  individual  in  2011,  48%  in  2012  and  thereafter.  In  2014,  an 
additional tax liability of 3% was added to the applicable tax rate on the annual taxable income of individuals (whether 
any such individual is an Israeli resident or non-Israeli resident) exceeding NIS 640,000.

Taxation of Foreign Resident Holders of Shares

Non-residents of Israel are generally subject to Israeli income tax on the receipt of dividends paid on our ordinary shares 
at the rate of 25%, which tax will be withheld at source, unless a different rate is provided in a treaty between Israel and 
the shareholder’s country of residence. With respect to a substantial shareholder, the applicable tax rate is at 30% Under 
the U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty, the maximum rate of tax withheld in Israel on dividends paid to a holder of our ordinary shares 
who  is  a  U.S.  resident  (for  purposes  of  the  U.S.-Israel  Tax  Treaty)  is  25%.  However,  generally,  the  maximum  rate  of 
withholding tax on dividends, not generated by our Approved Enterprise, that are paid to a U.S. corporation holding 10% 
or  more  of  our  outstanding  voting  capital  throughout  the  tax  year  in  which  the  dividend  is  distributed  as  well  as  the 
previous tax year, is 12.5%.

A non-resident of Israel who receives dividends from which tax was withheld is generally exempt from the duty to file 
returns in Israel in respect of such income; provided such income was not derived from a business conducted in Israel by 
the taxpayer, and the taxpayer has no other taxable sources of income in Israel.

Foreign Exchange Regulations

Dividends (if any) paid to the holders of our ordinary shares, and any amounts payable with respect to our ordinary shares 
upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up, as well as the proceeds of any sale in Israel of the ordinary shares to an Israeli 
resident, may be paid in non-Israeli currency or, if paid in Israeli currency, may be converted into freely reparable U.S. 
dollars at the rate of exchange prevailing at the time of conversion, however, Israeli income tax is required to have been 
paid or withheld on these amounts.

Controlled Foreign Corporation

In  general,  and  subject  to  the  provisions  of  all  relevant  legislation,  an  Israeli  resident  who  holds,  directly  or  indirectly, 
10% or more of the rights in a foreign corporation whose shares are not publicly traded, in which more than 50% of the 
rights  are  held  directly  or  indirectly  by  Israeli  residents,  and  a  majority  of  whose  income  in  a  tax  year  is  considered 
passive income (generally referred to as a Controlled Foreign Corporation, or CFC), is liable for tax on the portion of his 
income attributed to holdings in such corporation, as if such income was distributed to him as a dividend.

Share Allocations to controlling shareholders

Controlling  shareholders  will  be  taxable  under  section  3(i)  to  the  Tax  Ordinance,  according  to  which,  the  grantee  pays 
income tax rate (according to the marginal tax rate of the grantee- up to 48% in 2012) on the profit upon the sale of the 
underlying  shares.  As  of  January  1,  2013,  the  marginal  tax  rate  (48%)  of  an  individual  will  increase  in  3%  in  case  his 
taxable  income  in  a  tax  year  exceed  the  amount  of  NIS  640,000  (including  capital  gains  from  marketable  securities, 
dividends and interest income).

United States Federal Income Taxation

The following is a general discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership 
and disposition of our ordinary shares. This description addresses only the U.S. federal income tax considerations that may 
be relevant to U.S. Holders (as defined below) who hold our ordinary shares as capital assets. This summary is based on 
the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the “Code”) Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial 
and administrative interpretations thereof and the U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty (the “Treaty”), all as in effect on the date hereof 
and all of which are subject to change either prospectively or retroactively or to differing interpretations. There can be no 
assurance  that  the  U.S.  Internal  Revenue  Service  (“IRS”)  will  not  take  a  different  position  concerning  the  tax 
consequences  of  the  acquisition,  ownership  or  disposition  of  our  ordinary  shares  or  that  such  a  position  would  not  be 
sustained. This discussion does not address all tax considerations that may be relevant to a U.S. Holder of ordinary shares. 
In addition, this description does not account for the specific circumstances of any particular investor, such as:

● broker-dealers;

● financial institutions or financial services entities;

● certain insurance companies;

● investors liable for alternative minimum tax;

● regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, or grantor trusts;

● dealers or traders in securities, commodities or currencies;

● tax-exempt organizations;

● retirement plans;

● S corporations:

● pension funds;

● certain former citizens or long-term residents of the United States;

● non-resident aliens of the United States or taxpayers whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;

● persons who hold ordinary shares through partnerships or other pass-through entities;

● persons who acquire their ordinary shares through the exercise or cancellation of employee stock options or 

otherwise as compensation for services;

● direct,  indirect  or  constructive  owners  of  investors  that  actually  or  constructively  own  at  least  10%  of  the 

total combined voting power of our shares or at least 10% of our shares by value; or

● investors holding ordinary shares as part of a straddle, appreciated financial position, a hedging transaction 

or conversion transaction.

If a partnership or an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes owns our ordinary shares, the 
U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in such a partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner 
and  the  activities  of  the  partnership.  A  partnership  that  owns  our  ordinary  shares  and  the  partners  in  such  partnership 
should  consult  their  tax  advisors  about  the  U.S.  federal  income  tax  consequences  of  holding  and  disposing  of  ordinary 
shares.

60

This summary does not address the effect of any U.S. federal taxation (such as estate and gift tax) other than U.S. federal 
income taxation. In addition, this summary does not include any discussion of state, local or non-U.S. taxation.

For purposes of this summary the term “U.S. Holder” means a person that is eligible for the benefits of the Treaty and is a 
beneficial owner of ordinary shares who is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

● an individual who is a citizen or a resident of the United States;

● a corporation or other entity taxable as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes, created or 

organized in or under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof;

● an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

● a trust if the trust has validly elected to be treated as a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes or if (1) a 
court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and (2) one 
or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all of the substantial decisions of the trust.

Unless otherwise indicated, it is assumed for the purposes of this discussion that the Company is not, and will not become, 
a  “passive  foreign  investment  company”  (“PFIC”)  for  U.S.  federal  income  tax  purposes.  See  “—Passive  Foreign 
Investment Companies” below.

Taxation of Distributions

Subject to the discussion below under the heading “—Passive Foreign Investment Companies,” the gross amount of any 
distributions received with respect to our ordinary shares, including the amount of any Israeli taxes withheld therefrom, 
will  constitute  dividends  for  U.S.  federal  income  tax  purposes  when  such  distribution  is  actually  or  constructively 
received, to the extent such distribution is paid out of our current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for 
U.S.  federal  income  tax  purposes.  Because  we  do  not  expect  to  maintain  calculations of  our  earnings  and  profits  under 
U.S. federal income tax principles, it is expected that the entire amount of any distribution will generally be reported as 
dividend income to you. Dividends are included in gross income at ordinary income rates, unless such dividends constitute 
“qualified  dividend  income,”  as  set  forth  in  more  detail  below.  Distributions  in  excess  of  our  current  and  accumulated 
earnings  and  profits  would  be  treated  as  a  non-taxable  return  of  capital  to  the  extent  of  your  adjusted  tax  basis  in  our 
ordinary shares and any amount in excess of your tax basis would be treated as gain from the sale of ordinary shares. See 
“—Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of Ordinary Shares” below for a discussion of the taxation of capital gains. Our 
dividends would not qualify for the dividends-received deduction generally available to corporations under section 243 of 
the Code.

Dividends  that  we  pay  in  NIS,  including  the  amount  of  any  Israeli  taxes  withheld  therefrom,  will  be  included  in  your 
income  in  a  U.S.  dollar  amount  calculated  by  reference  to  the  exchange  rate  in  effect  on  the  day  such  dividends  are 
received, regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted into U.S. dollars. A U.S. Holder who receives payment in 
NIS and converts NIS into U.S. dollars at an exchange rate other than the rate in effect on such day may have a foreign 
currency  exchange  gain  or  loss  that  would  generally  be  treated  as  U.S.-source  ordinary  income  or  loss.  U.S.  Holders 
should consult their own tax advisors concerning the U.S. tax consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of NIS.

Subject  to  complex  limitations,  some  of  which  vary  depending  upon  the  U.S.  Holder’s  circumstances,  any  Israeli 
withholding tax imposed on dividends paid with respect to our ordinary shares, may be a foreign income tax eligible for 
credit  against  a  U.S.  Holder’s  U.S.  federal  income  tax  liability  (or,  alternatively,  for  deduction  against  income  in 
determining such tax liability). Israeli taxes withheld in excess of the applicable rate allowed by the Treaty (if any) will 
not  be  eligible  for  credit  against  a  U.S.  Holder’s  federal  income  tax  liability.  The  limitation  on  foreign  income  taxes 
eligible for credit is calculated separately with respect to specific classes of income. Dividends paid with respect to our 
common stock generally will be treated as foreign-source passive category income or, in the case of certain U.S. Holders, 
general category income for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. Further, there are special rules for computing the foreign tax 
credit limitation of a taxpayer who receives dividends subject to a reduced tax rate. A U.S. Holder may be denied a foreign 
tax credit with respect to Israeli income tax withheld from dividends received on our ordinary shares if such U.S. Holder 
fails  to  satisfy  certain  minimum  holding  period  requirements  or  to  the  extent  such  U.S.  Holder’s  position  in  ordinary 
shares is hedged. An election to deduct foreign taxes instead of claiming a foreign tax credit applies to all foreign taxes 
paid  or  accrued  in  the  taxable  year.  The  rules  relating  to  the  determination  of  the  foreign  tax  credit  are  complex.  You 
should consult with your own tax advisors to determine whether and to what extent you would be entitled to this credit.

61

Subject to certain limitations (including the PFIC rules discussed below), “qualified dividend income” received by a non-
corporate U.S. Holder may be subject to tax at the lower long-term capital gain rates (currently, a maximum rate of 20%). 
Distributions  taxable  as  dividends  paid  on  our  ordinary  shares  should  qualify  for  a  reduced  rate  if  we  are  a  “qualified 
foreign corporation,” as defined in Code section 1(h)(11)(C). We will be a qualified foreign corporation if either: (i) we 
are entitled to benefits under the Treaty or (ii) our ordinary shares are readily tradable on an established securities market 
in the United States and certain other requirements are met. We believe that we are entitled to benefits under the Treaty 
and  that  our  ordinary  shares  currently  are  readily  tradable  on  an  established  securities  market  in  the  United  States. 
However,  no  assurance  can  be  given  that  our  ordinary  shares  will  remain  readily  tradable.  The  rate  reduction  does  not 
apply unless certain holding period requirements are satisfied, nor does it apply to dividends received from a PFIC (see 
discussion  below),  in  respect  of  certain  risk-reduction  transactions,  or  in  certain  other  situations.  U.S.  Holders  of  our 
ordinary shares should consult their own tax advisors regarding the effect of these rules in their particular circumstances.

Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of Ordinary Shares

Subject to the discussion of the PFIC rules below, if you sell or otherwise dispose of our ordinary shares (other than with 
respect  to  certain  non-recognition  transactions),  you  will  generally  recognize  gain  or  loss  for  U.S.  federal  income  tax 
purposes  in  an  amount  equal  to  the  difference  between  the  amount  realized  on  the  sale  or  other  disposition  and  your 
adjusted  tax  basis  in  our  ordinary  shares,  in  each  case  determined  in  U.S.  dollars.  Such  gain  or  loss  will  generally  be 
capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if you have held the ordinary shares for more than one year at 
the  time  of  the  sale  or  other  disposition.  Long-term  capital  gain  realized  by  a  non-corporate  U.S.  Holder  is  generally 
eligible for a preferential tax rate (currently at a maximum of 20%). In general, any gain that you recognize on the sale or 
other  disposition  of  ordinary  shares  will  be  U.S.-source  for  purposes  of  the  foreign  tax  credit  limitation;  losses  will 
generally be allocated against U.S. source income. Deduction of capital losses is subject to certain limitations under the 
Code.

In the case of a cash basis U.S. Holder who receives NIS in connection with the sale or disposition of our ordinary shares, 
the  amount  realized  will  be  based  on  the  U.S.  dollar  value  of  the  NIS  received  with  respect  to  the  ordinary  shares  as 
determined on the settlement date of such exchange. A cash basis U.S. Holder who receives payment in NIS and converts 
NIS into U.S. dollars at a conversion rate other than the rate in effect on the settlement date may have a foreign currency 
exchange gain or loss, based on any appreciation or depreciation in the value of NIS against the U.S. dollar, which would 
be treated as ordinary income or loss.

An  accrual  basis  U.S.  Holder  may  elect  the  same  treatment  of  currency  exchange  gain  or  loss  required  of  cash  basis 
taxpayers with respect to a sale or disposition of our ordinary shares that are traded on an established securities market, 
provided that the election is applied consistently from year to year. Such election may not be changed without the consent 
of the IRS. In the event that an accrual basis U.S. Holder does not elect to be treated as a cash basis taxpayer (pursuant to 
the Treasury regulations applicable to foreign currency transactions), such U.S. Holder is required to calculate the value of 
the proceeds as of the “trade date” and may have a foreign currency gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes in 
the event of any difference between the U.S. dollar value of NIS prevailing on the trade date and on the settlement date. 
Any such currency gain or loss generally would be treated as U.S.- source ordinary income or loss and would be subject to 
tax  in  addition  to  the  gain  or  loss,  if  any,  recognized  by  such  U.S.  Holder  on  the  sale  or  disposition  of  such  ordinary 
shares.

Passive Foreign Investment Companies

We  may  have  been  a  PFIC  for  U.S.  federal  income  tax  purposes  for  the  2017  taxable  year.  If  we  were  a  PFIC  for  any 
taxable  year  during  which  a  U.S.  Holder  owned  ordinary  shares,  certain  adverse  consequences  could  apply  to  the  U.S. 
Holder.  Specifically,  unless  a  U.S.  Holder  makes  one  of  the  elections  mentioned  below,  gain  recognized  by  the  U.S. 
Holder on a sale or other disposition of ordinary shares would be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period 
for the ordinary shares. The amounts allocated to the taxable year of the sale or other disposition and to any year before we 
became a PFIC would be taxed as ordinary income. The amount allocated to each other taxable year would be subject to 
tax at the highest rate in effect for individuals or corporations, as appropriate, for that taxable year, and an interest charge 
would be imposed on the resulting tax liability. Further, any distribution in excess of 125% of the average of the annual 
distributions  received  by  the  U.S.  Holder  on  our  ordinary  shares  during  the  preceding  three  years  or  the  U.S.  Holder’s 
holding period, whichever is shorter, would be subject to taxation as described immediately above. Certain elections (such 
as  a  mark-to-market  election  or  a  QEF  election)  may  be  available  to  U.S.  Holders  and  may  result  in  alternative  tax 
treatment.  U.S.  Holders  should  consult  their  tax  advisors  as  to  the  availability  and  consequences  of  a  mark-to-market 
election or a QEF election with respect to their ordinary shares.

In  addition,  if  we  were  a  PFIC  for  a  taxable  year  in  which  we  pay  a  dividend  or  the  prior  taxable  year,  the  favorable 
dividend rates discussed above with respect to dividends paid to certain non-corporate U.S. Holders would not apply. If 
we  were  a  PFIC  for  any  taxable  year  in  which  a  U.S.  Holder  owned  our  shares,  the  U.S.  Holder  would  generally  be 
required to file annual returns with the IRS on IRS Form 8621.

Additional Tax on Investment Income

In  addition  to  the  income  taxes  described  above,  U.S.  Holders  that  are  individuals,  estates  or  trusts  and  whose  income 
exceeds certain thresholds may be subject to a 3.8% Medicare contribution tax on net investment income, which includes 
dividends and capital gains from the sale or exchange of our ordinary shares.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

Payments  in  respect  of  our  ordinary  shares  may  be  subject  to  information  reporting  to  the  IRS  and  to  U.S.  backup 
withholding tax at the rate (currently) of 24%. Backup withholding will not apply, however, if you (i) fall within certain 
exempt  categories  and  demonstrate  the  fact  when  required  or  (ii)  furnish  a  correct  taxpayer  identification  number  and 
make any other required certification.

Backup  withholding  is  not  an  additional  tax.  Amounts  withheld  under  the  backup  withholding  rules  may  be  credited 
against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. tax liability. A U.S. Holder may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld under the 
backup withholding rules by filing the appropriate claim for refund with the IRS.

U.S.  citizens  and  individuals  taxable  as  resident  aliens  of  the  United  States  that  (i)  own  “specified  foreign  financial 
assets” (as defined in Section 6038D of the Code and the regulations thereunder) with an aggregate value in a taxable year 
in excess of certain thresholds (as determined under rules in Treasury regulations) and (ii) are required to file U.S. federal 
income  tax  returns  generally  will  be  required  to  file  an  information  report  with  respect  to  those  assets  with  their  tax 
returns.  IRS  Form  8938  has  been  issued  for  that  purpose.  “Specified  foreign  financial  assets”  include  any  financial 
accounts maintained by foreign financial institutions, foreign stocks held directly, and interests in foreign estates, foreign 
pension plans or foreign deferred compensation plans. Under those rules, our ordinary shares, whether owned directly or 
through  a  financial  institution,  estate  or  pension  or  deferred  compensation  plan,  would  be  “specified  foreign  financial 
assets.”  Under  Treasury  regulations,  the  reporting  obligation  applies  to  certain  U.S.  entities  that  hold,  directly  or 
indirectly, specified foreign financial assets. Penalties can apply if there is a failure to satisfy this reporting obligation. In 
addition, in the event a U.S. Holder that is required to file IRS Form 8938 does not file such form, the statute of limitations 
on the assessment and collection of U.S. federal income taxes of such U.S. Holder for the related tax year may not close 
until three years after the date that the required information is filed. A U.S. Holder is urged to consult the U.S. Holder’s 
tax advisor regarding the reporting obligation.

Any U.S. Holder who acquires more than $100,000 of our ordinary shares or holds 10% or more of our ordinary shares by 
vote or value may be subject to certain additional U.S. information reporting requirements.

acquisition, ownership and disposition of our ordinary shares. You should consult your tax advisor concerning the

We are subject to certain of the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, as applicable to “foreign private issuers” as 
defined in Rule 3b-4 under the Exchange Act. As a foreign private issuer, we are exempt from certain provisions of the 
Exchange  Act.  Accordingly,  our  proxy  solicitations  are  not  subject  to  the  disclosure  and  procedural  requirements  of 
Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act, and transactions in our equity securities by our officers and directors are exempt 
from reporting and the “short-swing” profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, 
we are not required under the Exchange Act to file periodic reports and financial statements as frequently or as promptly 
as  U.S.  companies  whose  securities  are  registered  under  the  Exchange  Act.  However,  we  file  with  the  SEC  an  annual 
report  on Form  20-F containing financial statements audited by an independent accounting firm. We  also  submit  to  the 
SEC reports on Form 6-K containing (among other things) press releases and unaudited financial information. We post our 
annual report on Form 20-F on our website (www.rada.com) promptly following the filing of our annual report with the 
SEC. The information on our website is not incorporated by reference into this annual report.

ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISKS

Interest Rate Risk

We currently do not invest in or otherwise hold, for trading or other purposes, any financial instruments subject to market 
risks. Generally, we pay interest on our credit facilities, convertible notes and short-term loans based on Libor, for dollar-
denominated loans, and Israeli prime or adjustment differences to the Israeli consumer price index, for some of our NIS-
denominated loans. As a result, changes in the general level of interest rates may affect the amount of interest payable by 
us under these facilities.

64

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

The  depreciation  of  the  NIS  against  the  dollar  has  the  effect  of  reducing  the  dollar  amount  of  any  of  our  expenses  or 
liabilities which are payable in NIS (unless such expenses or payables are linked to the dollar). As of December 31, 2017, 
we had liabilities payable in NIS which are not linked to the dollar in the amount of $5.9 million and cash and receivables 
in  the  amount  of  $2.9  million  denominated  in  NIS.  Accordingly,  1%  appreciation  of  the  NIS  against  the  dollar  would 
increase  our  financing  expenses  by  approximately  $87,400.  A  1%  depreciation  of  the  NIS  against  the  dollar  would 
decrease  our  financing  expenses  by  the  same  amount.  However,  the  amount  of  liabilities  payable  and/or  cash  and 
receivables in NIS is likely to change from time to time.

Because exchange rates between the NIS and the dollar fluctuate continuously, exchange rate fluctuations and especially 
larger periodic devaluations will have an impact on our profitability and period-to-period comparisons of our results. The 
effects of foreign currency re-measurements are reported in our consolidated financial statements in continuing operations.

ITEM 15. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its 
Exchange  Act  reports  is  recorded,  processed,  summarized  and  reported  within  the  time  periods  specified  in  the  SEC’s 
rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief 
Financial Officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, including our Chief Executive 
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined under 
Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 20-F. Based upon that 
evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure 
controls and procedures were effective.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our  management  is  responsible  for  establishing  and  maintaining  adequate  internal  control  over  our  financial  reporting. 
Internal  control  over  financial  reporting  is  defined  in  Rule  13a-15(f)  or  15d-15(f)  promulgated  under  the  Securities 
Exchange  Act  of  1934  as  a  process  designed  by,  or  under  the  supervision  of,  the  company’s  principal  executive  and 
principal financial officers and effected by the company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide 
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external 
purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

65

● pertain  to  the  maintenance  of  records  that  in  reasonable  detail  accurately  and  fairly  reflect  the 

transaction and dispositions of the assets of the company;

● provide  reasonable  assurance  that  transactions  are  recorded  as  necessary  to  permit  preparation  of 
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and 
expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and 
directors of the company; and

● provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use 
or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because  of  its  inherent  limitations,  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  may  not  prevent  or  detect  misstatements. 
Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate 
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017. In 
making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the 
Treadway  Commission  (COSO)  in  Internal  Control-Integrated  Framework.  Based  on  that  assessment,  our  management 
concluded that as of December 31, 2017, our internal control over financial reporting is effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this annual 
report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

functions. Written copies of our code of ethics are available upon request. If we make any substantive amendment to the 
code of ethics or grant any waivers, including any implicit waiver, from a provision of the codes of ethics, we will disclose 
the nature of such amendment or waiver on our website.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

Our Audit Committee has adopted a policy and procedures for the pre-approval of audit and non-audit services rendered 
by our independent registered public accounting firm, Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer, a Member of Ernst & Young Global 
(“EY Israel”). Pre-approval of an audit or non-audit service may be given as a general pre-approval, as part of the audit 
committee’s approval  of the scope of the engagement of our independent auditor, or on an individual basis. The policy 
prohibits retention of the independent public accountants to perform the prohibited non-audit functions defined in Section 
201  of  the  Sarbanes-Oxley  Act  or  the  rules  of  the  Securities  and  Exchange  Committee,  and  also  requires  the  Audit 
Committee to consider whether proposed services are compatible with the independence of the public accountants.

ITEM 16G.CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Under  NASDAQ Stock Market Rule 5615(a) (3),  foreign private issuers, such as  our company, are permitted to follow 
certain home country corporate governance practices instead of certain provisions of the NASDAQ Stock Market Rules. A 
foreign private issuer that elects to follow a home country practice instead of any of such NASDAQ rules must submit to 
NASDAQ, in advance, a written statement from an independent counsel in such issuer’s home country certifying that the 
issuer’s practices are not prohibited by the home country’s laws.

We have notified NASDAQ pursuant to Rule  5615(a) (3), that we do not comply with the following Rules and instead 
follow Israeli law and practice in respect of such Rules:

● The  Rule  requiring  maintaining  a  majority  of  independent  directors,  as  defined  under  the  NASDAQ 
Marketplace Rules. Instead, under Israeli law and practice, we are required to appoint at least two external 
directors,  within  the  meaning  of  the  Israeli  Companies  Law,  to  our  board  of  directors.  In  addition,  in 
accordance with the rules of the SEC and NASDAQ, we have the mandated three independent directors, as 
defined by the rules of the SEC and NASDAQ, on our audit committee. See above in Item 6C. “Directors, 
Senior Management and Employees - Board Practices Outside and Independent Directors.”

● The  Rule  requiring  that  our  independent  directors  have  regularly  scheduled  meetings  at  which  only 
independent  directors  are  present:  instead,  we  follow  Israeli  law  according  to  which  independent  directors 
are not required to hold executive sessions.

● The Rule regarding independent director oversight of director nominations process for directors. Instead, we 
follow Israeli law and practice according to which our board of directors recommends directors for election 
by our shareholders. See above Item 6C. “Directors, Senior Management and Employees - Board Practices - 
Election of Directors.”

● The requirements regarding the directors’ nominations process. Instead, we follow Israeli law and practice in 
accordance  with  which  our  directors  are  recommended  by  our  board  of  directors  for  election  by  our 
shareholders.  See  Item  6C  “Directors,  Senior  Management  and  Employees  -  Board  Practices  -  Election  of 
Directors.”

● The requirement to obtain shareholder approval for the establishment or amendment of certain equity based 
compensation plans, an issuance that will result in a change of control of the company, certain transactions 
other  than  a  public  offering  involving  issuances  of  a  20%  or  more  interest  in  the  company  and  certain 
acquisitions of the stock or assets of another company. Under Israeli law and practice, the approval of the 
board of directors is required for the establishment or amendment of equity based compensation plans and 
private  placements.  Under  Israeli  regulations,  Israeli  companies  whose  shares  have  been  publicly  offered 
only outside of Israel or are listed for trade only on an exchange outside of Israel, such as our company, are 
exempt from the Israeli law requirement to obtain shareholder approval for private placements of a 20% or 
more interest in the company. For the approvals and procedures required under Israeli law and practice for an 
issuance  that  will  result  in  a  change  of  control  of  the  company  and  acquisitions  of  the  stock  or  assets  of 
another company, see Item 6C “Directors, Senior Management and Employee - Board Practices - Approval 
of  Related  Party  Transactions  Under  Israeli  Law  -  Disclosure  of  Personal  Interests  of  a  Controlling 
Shareholder;  Approval  of  Transactions  with  Controlling  Shareholders”  and  Item  10B  “Additional 
Information - Memorandum and Articles of Association - Provisions Restricting Change in Control of Our 
Company.”

● Shareholder  Approval.  We  seek  shareholder  approval  for  all  corporate  action  requiring  such  approval  in 
accordance  with  the  requirements  of  the  Israeli  Companies  Law  rather  than  under  the  requirements  of  the 
NASDAQ  Listing  Rules,  including  (but  not  limited  to)  the  appointment  or  termination  of  auditors, 
appointment and dismissal of directors, approval of interested party acts and transactions requiring general 
meeting approval as discussed above and a merger.

● Shareholder  Approval.  We  seek  shareholder  approval  for  all  corporate  action  requiring  such  approval  in 
accordance  with  the  requirements  of  the  Israeli  Companies  Law  rather  than  under  the  requirements  of  the 
NASDAQ  Listing  Rules,  including  (but  not  limited  to)  the  appointment  or  termination  of  auditors, 
appointment and dismissal of directors, approval of interested party acts, adoption of Stock Option Plans and 
any  amendment  thereto,  and  transactions  requiring  general  meeting  approval  as  discussed  above  and  a 
merger.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of RADA ELECTRONIC INDUSTRIES LTD.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets  of  RADA  Electronic  Industries  Ltd.  and 
subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 and the related consolidated statements of operations, 
comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 
31,  2017,  and  the  related  notes  (collectively  referred  to  as  the  “consolidated  financial  statements”).  In  our  opinion,  the 
consolidated  financial  statements  present  fairly,  in  all  material  respects,  the  financial  position  of  the  Company  at 
December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period 
ended December 31, 2017, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express 
an  opinion  on  the  Company’s  consolidated  financial  statements  based  on  our  audits.  We  are  a  public  accounting  firm 
registered  with  the  Public  Company  Accounting  Oversight  Board  (United  States)  (“PCAOB”)  and  are  required  to  be 
independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and 
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan 
and  perform  the  audit  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the  consolidated  financial  statements  are  free  of 
material  misstatement,  whether  due  to  error  or  fraud.  The  Company  is  not  required  to  have,  nor  were  we  engaged  to 
perform,  an  audit  of  its  internal  control  over  financial  reporting.  As  part  of  our  audits  we  are  required  to  obtain  an 
understanding  of  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  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.

Our  audits  included  performing  procedures  to  assess  the  risks  of  material  misstatement  of  the  financial 
statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included 
examining,  on  a  test  basis,  evidence  regarding  the  amounts  and  disclosures  in  the  financial  statements.  Our  audits  also 
included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating 
the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

/s/ Kost Forer Gabbay and Kasierer,
A Member of Ernst & Young Global

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2003.

In  December  2016,  the  Company  committed  to  a  plan  to  sell  its  test  and  repair  services  activity 
(provided  through  the  Company’s  80%  owned  subsidiary,  CACS)  in  order  to  focus  in  its  core 
business.  As  of  December  2017,  the  Company’s  management  believes  that  the  selling  transaction 
will be completed by June 30, 2018.

The  results  of  the  discontinued  operations  including  prior  periods’  comparable  results,  assets  and 
liabilities which have been retroactively included in discontinued operations as separate line items in 
the statements of operations and balance sheets, are presented below:

On  May  15,  2016,  the  Company’s  shareholders  approved  an  investment  transaction  with  a  new 
investor  (the  “Investor”)  after  which  the  Investor  became  the  controlling  shareholder  of  the 
Company.  The  Company  issued  8,510,638  Ordinary  shares  in  consideration  for  approximately 
$4,000,  or  a  price  per  share  of  $0.47  (the  “Initial  Investment”).  The  Company  also  issued  to  the 
Investor, warrants to purchase: (i) 4,255,319 Ordinary shares at an exercise price per Ordinary share 
of  $0.47  (having  an  aggregate  exercise  price  of  $2,000)  exercisable  for  a  period  of  24  months 
following the date of the Initial Investment and (ii) 3,636,363 Ordinary shares at an exercise price 
per Ordinary share of $0.55 (having an aggregate exercise price of $2,000) exercisable for a period 
of 48 months following the date of the Initial Investment (collectively: the “Warrants”).

In  addition,  as  part  of  the  investment  transaction,  the  Investor  agreed  to  grant  the  Company  an 
option,  exercisable  in  the  discretion  of  either  the  Investor  or  the  Company,  to  obtain  a  convertible 
loan  from  the  Investor  in  the  principal  amount  of  up  to  $3,175,  which  may  be  used  solely  for  the 
purpose  of  the  repayment  of  the  outstanding  convertible  loan  and  accrued  interest  to  its  former 
controlling shareholder due on August 31, 2016.

On June 16, 2016, the Company obtained a $3,175 convertible loan from the Investor (convertible 
into Ordinary Shares at a price per share of $2.40) and repaid the outstanding loan balance owed to 
its former controlling shareholder in the amount of $2,988, including accrued interest of $247.

NOTE 1:- GENERAL (Cont.)

During  the  years  ended  December  31,  2016  and  2015,  the  Company  had  recurring  losses  and 
negative  cash  flow  from  operating  activity.  Since  incorporation,  the  Company  incurred  an 
accumulated deficit of $77,124. As of December 31, 2017, the Company’s cash position (cash and 
cash equivalents) totaled approximately $12,417 (excluding cash and cash equivalents attributable to 
the discontinued  operations). In  addition,  for  the  year ended  December  31,  2017 the  company  had 
positive cash flow from operating activity. Management believes that its cash and cash equivalents 
are sufficient for the Company to meet its obligations as they come due at least for a period of twelve 
months from the date of issuance of the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The  consolidated  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  accounting  principles 
generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”). The significant accounting policies followed in the 
preparation of the financial statements, applied on a consistent basis, are as follows:

a.

Use of estimates:

The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in  conformity  with  (“US  GAAP”)  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.

The  Company’s  management  believes  that  the  estimates,  judgment  and  assumptions  used  are 
reasonable based upon information available at the time they were made.

b.

Financial statements in U.S. dollars:

The majority of the revenues of the Company are generated in U.S. dollars. In addition, Financing 
activities are made in U.S. dollars.

The  Company’s  management  believes  that  the  dollar  is  the  currency  of  the  primary  economic 
environment  in  which  the  Company  operates.  Thus,  its  functional  and  reporting  currency  is  the 
dollar.

Accordingly, monetary accounts maintained in currencies other than the dollar are re-measured into 
U.S.  dollars  in  accordance  with  ASC  830,  “Foreign  Currency  Matters”.  All  transaction  gains  and 
losses of the re-measured monetary balance sheet items are reflected in the statement of operations as 
financial  income  or  expenses,  as  appropriate,  in  the  period  in  which  the  currency  exchange  rate 
changes.

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

RADA ELECTRONIC INDUSTRIES LTD.
AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES

The financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiary, whose functional currency is not the 
U.S. dollar, have been translated into dollars. All balance sheet amounts have been translated using 
the  exchange  rates  in  effect  at  balance  sheet  date.  Statement  of  operation  amounts  have  been 
translated using the average exchange rate prevailing during the year. Such translation adjustments 
are reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in equity.

c.

Basis of consolidation:

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary. Inter-
company transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

d.

Cash equivalents:

All  highly  liquid  investments  that  are  readily  convertible  to  cash  and  are  not  restricted  as  to 
withdrawal or use and the period to maturity of which did not exceed three months at time of deposit, 
are considered cash equivalents.

e.

Restricted deposit:

Restricted cash is invested in short-term bank deposits (less than twelve months), which are mainly 
used  as  security  for  the  Company’s  guarantees  to  customers  and  lines  of  credits  with  banks.  The 
deposits are in U.S. dollars and bear a variable interest of up to 1.32%.

f.

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, excess inventories and for market prices lower than cost (see 
also Note 5).

Cost is determined as follows:

Raw materials and components - using the FIFO cost method.

Work  in  progress  and  finished  goods  -  represents  the  cost  of  manufacturing  with  the  addition  of 
allocable indirect manufacturing costs.

Costs incurred on long-term contracts in progress include direct labor, material, subcontractors, other 
direct costs and an allocation of overhead, which represent recoverable costs incurred for production.

g.

Property, plant and equipment:

Property  plant  and  equipment  are  stated  at  cost,  net  of  accumulated  depreciation.  Depreciation  is 
calculated by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Annual rates of 
depreciation are as follows:

Factory and other buildings
Machinery and equipment
Office furniture and equipment

%

4
7 - 33
6 - 15

Leasehold  improvements  are  depreciated  over  the  shorter  of  the  estimated  useful  life  or  the  lease 
period.

Assets,  in  respect  of  which  investment  grants  have  been  received,  are  presented  at  cost  less  the 
related grant amount. Depreciation is based on net cost.

h.

Impairment of long-lived assets:

The  Company’s  long-lived  assets  are  reviewed  for  impairment  in  accordance  with  ASC  360, 
“Property,  plant  and  equipment”,  whenever  events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  that  the 
carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable.

Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of 
the assets 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. As of December 31, 2017, 
2016 and 2015, no impairment losses have been identified.

As required by ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement”, the Company applies assumptions that market 
place participations would consider in determines the fair value of long-lived assets (or asset group).

i.

Research and development costs:

Research and development costs, net of participation grants, include costs incurred for research and 
development, are charged to the statement of operations as incurred.

The Company received royalty-bearing grants, from the Israeli Innovation Authority (“IIA”) for the 
purpose  of  partially  funding  research  and  development  projects.  The  grants  are  recognized  as  a 
deduction from research and development costs incurred (see also Note 10b).

j.

Income taxes:

The  Company  accounts  for  income  taxes  in  accordance  with  ASC  740,  “Income  taxes”.  This 
statement prescribes the use of the liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liability account 
balances are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax based 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  provides  a  valuation  allowance,  if  necessary,  to  reduce  deferred  tax  assets  to  their 
estimated realizable value.

The Company implements a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions 
accounted  for  in  accordance  with  ASC  740.  The  first  step  is  to  evaluate  the  tax  position  taken  or 
expected to be taken in a tax return by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that 
it  is  more  likely  than  not  that,  on  an  evaluation  of  the  technical  merits,  the  tax  position  will  be 
sustained  on  audit,  including  resolution  of  any  related  appeals  or  litigation  processes.  The  second 
step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized 
upon ultimate settlement. The adoption of ASC 740-10 did not result in a change in the Company’s 
accumulated deficit. The Company did not record any provision in connection with ASC 740-10 as 
of December 31, 2017 and 2016.

k.

Severance pay:

The  Company’s  agreements  with  most  of  its  employees  are  in  accordance  with  section  14  of  the 
Severance  Pay  Law  -  1963,  under  which  the  Company’s  contributions  for  severance  pay  shall  be 
instead  of  severance  compensation.  Upon  release  of  the  policy  to  the  employee,  no  additional 
liability exists between the parties regarding the matter of severance pay and no additional payments 
will be made by the Company to the employee.

The  Company’s  liability for  severance  pay  for  the employees  that  are  not  covered  in  section  14 is 
calculated  pursuant  to  Israel’s  Severance  Pay  Law  -  1963,  based  on  the  most  recent  salary  of  the 
employees as of the balance sheet date less monthly deposits for insurance policies and/or pension 
funds.  Employees  are  entitled  to  one  month’s  salary  for  each  year  of  employment  or  a  portion 
thereof.

The carrying value of deposited funds includes profits (losses) accumulated up to the balance sheet 
date. The deposited funds may be withdrawn only upon the fulfillment of the obligations pursuant to 
Israeli severance pay law or labor agreements.

Severance  expense  recorded  in  the  statement  of  operations  is  net  of  interest  and  other  income 
accumulated in the deposits. Severance expense for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 
2015 amounted to $434, $251 and $553, respectively.

l.

Accounting for share-based compensation:

The  Company  accounts  for  share-based  payment  in  accordance  with  ASC  718,  “Compensation  - 
Stock  Compensation”,  which  requires  the  measurement  and  recognition  of  compensation  expense 
based on estimated fair values for all share-based payment awards made to employees on the date of 
grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected 
to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods in the Company’s statement of 
operations.  The  Company  recognizes  compensation  expenses  for  the  value  of  its  awards  granted 
based on the straight-line method over the requisite service period of each of the awards.

The  fair  value  for  the  Company’s  stock  options  granted  to  employees  and  directors  was  estimated 
using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

Dividend yield
Risk-free interest rate
Expected term (in years)
Volatility

December 31,

2017

2016

0%
1.78%
4.18

79%

0%
1.19%
4.5
80%

The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s historical experience and expectation of 
future dividend payouts and may be subject to changes in the future.

The  computation  of  expected  volatility  is  based  on  realized  historical  share  price  volatility  of  the 
Company’s Ordinary shares.

The  risk-free  interest  rate  assumption  is  the  implied  yield  currently  available  on  the  U.S  treasury 
yield  zero-coupon  issues  with  a  remaining  term  equal  to  the  expected  life  term  of  the  Company’s 
options.

The  expected  term  of  the  options  represents  the  period  of  time  that  the  options  are  expected  to  be 
outstanding and is based on the simplified method, as allowed under Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 
110, which is the mid-point between the vesting date and the end of the contractual of the option.

m.

Fair value of financial instruments:

The  Company  measures  its  financial  instruments  at  fair  value.  Fair  value  is  an  exit  price, 
representing  the  amount  that  would  be  received  to  sell  an asset  or  paid  to  transfer  a  liability  in  an 
orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement 
that  should  be  determined  based  on  assumptions  that  market  participants  would  use  in  pricing  an 
asset or a liability.

F-16

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
U.S. dollars in thousands, except share and per share data

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

RADA ELECTRONIC INDUSTRIES LTD.
AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES

A  three-tier  fair  value hierarchy  is established as a basis for  considering  such  assumptions and for 
inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

Level 1 - 

Valuations  based  on  quoted  prices  in  active  markets  for  identical  assets  that  the 
Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not 
applied  to  Level  1  instruments.  Since  valuations  are  based  on  quoted  prices  that  are 
readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these products does not 
entail a significant degree of judgment.

Level 2 - 

Valuations  based  on  one  or  more  quoted  prices  in  markets  that  are  not  active  or  for 
which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 -

Valuations  based  on  inputs  that  are  unobservable  and  significant  to  the  overall  fair 
value measurement.

The  availability  of  observable  inputs  can  vary  from  investment  to  investment  and  is  affected  by  a 
wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of investment, the liquidity of markets and 
other characteristics particular to the transaction. To the extent that valuation is based on models or 
inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires 
more judgment and the investments are categorized as Level 3.

The  carrying  amount  of  cash  and  cash  equivalents,  restricted  deposits,  trade  receivables,  other 
accounts  receivable,  bank  credit,  trade  payables  and  other  accounts  payable  approximate  their  fair 
value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Foreign currency derivative contracts are classified within Level 2 as the valuation inputs are based 
on quoted prices and market observable data of similar instruments. As of December 31, 2017 and 
2016 the fair value of foreign currencies derivatives asset (liability) were 19 and (8), respectively.

n.

Concentrations of credit risk:

Financial  instruments  that  potentially  subject  the  Company  to  concentrations  of  credit  risk  consist 
principally of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade receivables and long-term receivables.

The  Company’s  cash  and  cash  equivalents  and  restricted  deposits  are  mainly  held  in  U.S.  dollars 
with  major  banks  in  Israel.  Management  believes  that  the  financial  institutions  that  hold  the 
Company’s  investments  are  institutions  with  high  credit  standing,  and  accordingly,  minimal  credit 
risk exists with respect to these investments.

The  Company’s  trade  receivables  are  derived  from  sales  to  large  and  solid  organizations  located 
mainly in the United States, Asia, Latin America and Israel. The Company performs ongoing credit 
evaluations of its customers and to date has not experienced any material losses. An allowance for 
doubtful accounts is determined with respect to these amounts that the Company has determined to 
be  doubtful  of  collection.  The  allowance  is  computed  for  specific  debts  and  the  collectability  is 
determined based upon the Company’s experience.

o.

Comprehensive income (loss):

The  Company  accounts  for  comprehensive  income  in  accordance  with  ASC  220,  “Comprehensive 
Income”.  This  statement  establishes  standards  for  the  reporting  and  display  of  comprehensive 
income and its components.

Comprehensive  income  generally  represents  all  changes  in  shareholders’  equity  during  the  period 
except  those  resulting  from  investments  by,  or  distributions  to,  shareholders.  Accordingly,  the 
Company presents a separate consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss).

The  following  table  summarizes  the  changes  in  accumulated  balances  of  other  comprehensive 
income, net of taxes for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016:

liability from these warranties is $35 as of December 31, 2017 and 2016.

q.

Revenue recognition:

The Company generates revenues mainly from the sale of products and from long-term fixed price 
contracts  of  defense  electronics  as  follows:  data  recording  and  management  systems,  inertial 
navigation systems for air and land applications, avionics solutions, and avionics for UAVs, and land 
radar for defense forces and border protection applications.

AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES

In addition, the Company provides manufacturing, development and product support services.

The  Company  also  generates  revenues  from  repair  services  using  its  ATE  mainly  through  CACS 
(See Note 1b).

Product revenues:

The Company recognizes revenue from sales of products in accordance with ASC 605-10, “Revenue 
Recognition” (Formerly “Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104”).

Product revenue is recognized when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the fee is fixed 
or  determinable,  delivery  of  the  product  to  the  customer  has  occurred  and  the  Company  has 
determined  that  collection  of  the  fee  is  probable.  If  the  product  requires  specific  customer 
acceptance, revenue is deferred until customer acceptance occurs or the acceptance provisions lapse, 
unless  the  Company  can  objectively  and  reliably  demonstrate  that  the  criteria  specified  in  the 
acceptance provisions are satisfied.

Revenues  from  long-term  fixed  price  contracts  which  provide  a  substantial  level  of  development 
efforts  are  recognized  in  accordance  with  ASC  605-35,  “Construction-Type  and  Production-Type 
contracts”, using contract accounting on a percentage of completion method in accordance with the 
“Input  Method”.  The  percentage  of  completion  is  determined  based  on  the  ratio  of  actual  costs 
incurred  to  total  costs  estimated  to  be  incurred  over  the  duration  of  the  contract.  With  regard  to 
contracts for which a loss is anticipated, a provision is made for the entire amount of the estimated 
loss  at  the  time  such  loss  becomes  evident.  As  of  December  31,  2017  and  2016,  the  provision  for 
estimated losses identified is $0.

Revenues  from  long-term  fixed-price  contracts  that  involve  both  development  and  production  are 
recorded  using  the  cost-to-cost  method  (development  phase)  and  units-of-delivery  method 
(production  phase)  as  applicable  to  each  phase  of  the  contract,  as  the  basis  to  measure  progress 
toward completion.

Estimated  gross  profit  or  loss  from  long-term  contracts  may  change  due  to  changes  in  estimates 
resulting  from  differences  between  actual  performance  and  original  forecasts.  Such  changes  in 
estimated  gross  profit  or  loss  are  recorded  in  results  of  operations  when  they  are  reasonably 
determinable by management, on a cumulative catch-up basis.

The  Company  believes  that  the  use  of  the  percentage  of  completion  method  is  appropriate  as  the 
Company has the ability to make reasonably dependable estimates of the extent of progress towards 
completion, contract revenues and contract costs. In addition, contracts executed include provisions 
that  clearly  specify  the  enforceable  rights  regarding  services  to  be  provided  and  received  by  the 
parties to the contracts, the consideration to be exchanged and the manner and terms of settlement.

In  all  cases,  the  Company  expects  to  perform  its  contractual  obligations  and  its  customers  are 
expected to satisfy their obligations under the contract.

Service revenues:

Revenues from services are recognized as the services are performed.

r.

Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share:

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of Ordinary 
shares outstanding during each year. Diluted net income (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 ASC 260, “Earnings per 
share”.

For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, all options, convertible notes and warrants have 
been excluded from the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share, since their effect is anti-
dilutive.

s.

Derivatives and hedging:

The Company accounts for derivatives and hedging based on ASC 815, “Derivatives and hedging”, 
as amended and related Interpretations. ASC 815 requires the Company to recognize all derivatives 
on the balance sheet at fair value. If a derivative meets the definition of a hedge and is so designated, 
depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative will either be offset 
against  the  change  in  fair  value  of  the  hedged  assets,  liabilities,  or  firm  commitments  through 
earnings (for fair value hedge transactions) or recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) until 
the hedged item is recognized in earnings (for cash flow hedge transactions).

The ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value is recognized in earnings. If a derivative 
does not meet the definition of a hedge, the changes in the fair value are included in earnings. Cash 
flows related to such hedges are classified as operating activities.

The  Company  enters  into  forward  exchange  contracts  and  option  contracts  in  order  to  limit  the 
exposure to exchange rate fluctuation associated with payroll expenses mainly incurred in NIS. Since 
the derivative instruments that the Company holds do not meet the definition of hedging instruments 
under  ASC  815,  any  gain  or  loss  derived  from  such  instruments  is  recognized  immediately  as 
financial expenses, net.

As  of  December  31,  2017  and  2016,  the  fair  value  of  the  outstanding  forward  contracts  was  $19, 
which  was  recorded  in  other  receivables  against  financial  income  and  $8,  which  was  recorded  in 
other accruals against financial expenses, respectively.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards:

In  May  2014,  the  FASB  issued  new  standard  related  to  revenue  recognition,  ASU  No.  2014-09, 
“Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” and related subsequent updates (collectively, 
the  “new  revenue  standard”).  Under  the  new  revenue  standard,  revenue  is  recognized  when  a 
customer obtains control of promised goods or services and is recognized in an amount that reflects 
the  consideration  which  the  entity  expects  to  receive  in  exchange  for  those  goods  or  services.  In 
addition, the new revenue standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty 
of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The new revenue standard permits 
two  transition  methods:  retrospectively  to  each  prior  reporting  period  presented  (the  “full 
retrospective  method”),  or  retrospectively  with  the  cumulative  effect  of  initially  applying  the  new 
revenue standard recognized at the date of initial application (the “modified retrospective method”). 
The  Company  will  adopt  the  new  revenue  standard  effective  January  1,  2018  using  the  modified 
retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not substantially completed as of January 
1, 2018.

The Company did not have any material cumulative-effect adjustment as a result of the adoption. In 
addition, the adoption of ASU 2014-09 and the overall Topic 606 will not have any material impact 
on our consolidated financial statement line items in the year of adoption. The Company will make 
the  additional  required  disclosures  under  Topic  606,  starting  with  the  Company’s  consolidated 
financial statements that include the initial adoption date.

In  February  2016,  the  FASB  issued  guidance  on  the  recognition,  measurement,  presentation  and 
disclosure  of  leases  for  both  parties  to  a  contract  (i.e,  lessees  and  lessors),  ASU  2016-02  -  Leases 
(Topic 842). The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either 
finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed 
purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based 
on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, respectively. A 
lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of 
greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will 
be accounted for in a manner similar to the accounting under existing guidance for operating leases 
today. The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially 
equivalent  to  existing  guidance  for  sales-type  leases,  direct  financing  leases  and  operating  leases. 
Topic 842 supersedes the previous leases standard, ASC 840, “Leases”. The guidance is effective for 
the  interim  and  annual  periods  beginning  on  or  after  December  15,  2018  (early  adoption  is 
permitted).  The  Company  is  currently  evaluating  the  potential  effect  of  the  guidance  on  its 
consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

RADA ELECTRONIC INDUSTRIES LTD.
AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES

In November 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash 
Flows  (Topic  230):  Restricted  Cash.  The  ASU  requires  that  the  Consolidated  Statement  of  Cash 
Flows explain the change in total cash and equivalents and amounts generally described as restricted 
cash or restricted cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total 
amounts.  The  ASU  also  requires  a  reconciliation  between  the  total  of  cash  and  equivalents  and 
restricted cash presented on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and the cash and equivalents 
balance presented on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. ASU 2016-18 is effective retrospectively on 
January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect this guidance to have 
a material effect on its consolidated financial statements at the time of adoption of this standard.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): 
Scope of Modification Accounting.” ASU 2017-09 was issued to provide clarity and reduce both 1) 
diversity  in  practice  and  2)  cost  and  complexity  when  applying  the  guidance  in  Topic  718  to  a 
change in the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. ASU 2017-09 provides guidance 
about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to 
apply modification accounting under Topic 718. The amendments in ASU 2017-09 are effective for 
fiscal  years,  and  interim  periods  within  those  years,  beginning  after  December  15,  2017.  Early 
adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period. The amendments in ASU 2017-09 
should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. The adoption of 
this ASU will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In  August  2017,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  2017-12,  “Derivatives  and  Hedging  -  Targeted 
Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities”, which is intended to simplify and amend the 
application  of  hedge  accounting  to  more  clearly  portray  the  economics  of  an  entity’s  risk 
management  strategies  in  its  financial  statements.  The  ASU  will  make  more  financial  and 
nonfinancial hedging strategies eligible for hedge accounting, reduce complexity in fair value hedges 
of  interest  rate  risk  and  ease  certain  documentation  and  assessment  requirements  of  hedge 
effectiveness. It also changes how companies assess effectiveness and amends the presentation and 
disclosure  requirements.  ASU  2017-12  is  effective  for  fiscal  years  beginning  after  December  15, 
2018.  The  Company  is  currently  evaluating  the  impact  of  adopting  the  ASU  on  its  consolidated 
financial statements.

u.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements:

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards 
Update 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718)” (“ASU 2016-09”). ASU 2016-
09 permits entities to make an accounting policy election related to how forfeitures will impact the 
recognition  of  compensation  cost  for  stock-based  compensation:  to  estimate  the  total  number  of 
awards  for  which  the  requisite  service  period  will  not  be  rendered  or  to  account  for  forfeitures  as 
they occur. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-09, the Company elected to change its accounting policy to 
account for forfeitures as they occur. The guidance was applied on a modified, retrospective basis in 
the  first  quarter  of  fiscal  2017  and  did  not  have  a  material  impact  on  the  Company’s  consolidated 
financial results.

In May 2016, as part of the investment transaction (see Note 1c), the Investor agreed to grant the Company 
an option, exercisable in the discretion of either the Investor or the Company, to obtain a convertible loan 
from the Investor in the principal amount of up to $3,175, which may be used solely for the purpose of the 
repayment of the outstanding convertible loan and accrued interest to its former controlling shareholder due 
on  August  31,  2016.  In  June  2016,  the  Company  exercised  the  option  and  repaid  the  outstanding  loan 
balance due to its former controlling shareholder in the amount of $2,988 including accrued interest of $247.

The interest payable on the convertible loan was LIBOR+6%, payable on a quarterly basis.

During  the  term  of  the  loan,  the  Investor  had  the  right,  but  not  the  obligation,  at  its  sole  discretion,  to 
convert the then remaining convertible loan amount into Ordinary shares, par value NIS 0.03, at a price per 
share equal to the lower of: (i) $2.40, or (ii) a five percent (5%) discount to the FMV (the average of the 
closing  prices  of  the  Company’s  Ordinary  shares  over  the  5  consecutive  trading  days  ending  on  the  last 
trading day prior to the date of conversion), but in no event less than $0.47.

The  Company  recorded  a  beneficial  conversion  feature  related  to  the  June  2016  convertible  loan  as  debt 
discount in the amount of $123. The discount was amortized over the term of the convertible loan using the 
interest method.

In  August  2017,  the  Investor  converted  the  loan  into  1,322,917  Ordinary  shares  at  a  conversion  price  of 
$2.40  per  share.  As  a  result  of  the  conversion,  the  company  recognized  the  balance  of  the  debt  discount 
which amounted to $103 as finance expenses (see also Note 13).

NOTE 11:- SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY (Cont.)

RADA ELECTRONIC INDUSTRIES LTD.
AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES

In  May  2016,  the  Company’s  shareholders  approved  an  investment  transaction  with  the  Investor 
according  to  which  the  Investor  became  the  controlling  shareholder  of  the  Company  and  the 
Company  issued  8,510,638  Ordinary  shares  and  Warrants  (see  Note  1c),  in  consideration  for  the 
aggregate amount of approximately $4,000. Offering costs amounted to $169.

In August 2016, a shareholder of the Company converted the outstanding loan balance in the amount 
of $102 and accrued interest of $11 into 115,700 Ordinary shares.

In  August  2016,  the  Company  held  an  Extraordinary  General  Meeting  of  Shareholders  at  which 
shareholders approved the consolidation of the registered (authorized) share capital of the Company 
as  follows:  every  two  (2)  Ordinary  shares  with  a  nominal  (par)  value  of  NIS  0.015  each  will  be 
consolidated into one (1) Ordinary share with a nominal (par) value of NIS 0.03 each. All Ordinary 
shares,  options,  warrants,  convertible  loan,  conversion  options  and  per  share  amounts  have  been 
adjusted to give retroactive effect to this reverse split for all periods presented.

In August 2017, the Company entered into agreements with several Israeli institutional investors to 
purchase 4,604,500 ordinary shares at price per share of $2.15, for a total consideration of $9,900. 
Offering costs amounted to $174.

Stock option plans:

In  April  2015,  the  Company’s  Board  of  Directors  adopted  the  “2015  Share  Option  Plan”  (the 
“Plan”), which authorized the grant of options to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,500,000 Ordinary 
shares  to  officers,  directors,  consultants  and  key  employees  of  the  Company  and  its  subsidiary. 
Options granted under the Plan expire within a maximum of ten years from adoption of the plan.

In  June  2016,  the  Company  granted  options  to  certain  employees  and  officers  of  the  Company,  to 
purchase a total 984,375 Ordinary shares at an exercise price of $0.9 per share. The options will vest 
as follows: 25% of the options granted to each employee will vest in June 2017; additional 75% shall 
vest  in  three  equal  annual  installments  of  25%  each  until  June  2020.  These  options  shall  be 
exercisable  for  48  months  following  the  date  of  the  vesting.  As  part  of  the  grant,  the  Company’s 
former CEO was granted options to purchase 168,750 Ordinary shares at an exercise price of $0.90 
per Ordinary share. The former CEO resigned in November 2016.

In  November  2016,  the  Company’s  Audit  Committee  (in  its  capacity  as  the  Compensation 
Committee)  and  Board  of  Directors  determined,  subject  to  shareholders  approval,  to  extend  until 
January 2017, the exercise date of the former CEO’s options by accelerating the vesting of 126,563 
Options as of December 31, 2016. Pursuant to the terms of the plan, the former CEO was eligible to 
exercise  such  number  of  the  options  (or  any  part  thereof)  within  90  days  of  the  date  of  his 
resignation. The company recognized $71 share based compensation related to this acceleration.

Company’s Ordinary shares on the last trading day in the period and the exercise price, multiplied by 
the  number  of  in-the-money  options)  represents  the  amount  that  would  have  been  received  by  the 
employees and directors option holders had all option holders exercised their options on December 
31, 2017. This amount changes based on the fair market value of the Company’s Ordinary share.

NOTE 12:- TAXES ON INCOME

RADA ELECTRONIC INDUSTRIES LTD.
AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES

a.

The Israeli corporate tax rate and real capital gains tax was 26.5% in 2015, 25% in 2016 and 24% in 
2017.

In December 2016, the Israeli Parliament approved the Economic Efficiency Law 2016 (Legislative 
Amendments  for  Applying  the  Economic  Policy  for  the  2017  and  2018  Budget  Years),  which 
reduces the corporate income tax rate to 23% effective from January 1, 2018.

In accordance with the tax laws, tax returns submitted up to and including the 2012 tax year can be 
regarded as final.

The Company’s subsidiary is incorporated in China is subject to corporate tax rate of 25% in 2017 
and 2016.

b.

Tax benefits under the Law for the Encouragement of Industry (Taxes), 1969:

The  Company  qualifies  as  an  “Industrial  Company”  under  the  Law  for  the  Encouragement  of 
Industry  (Taxes),  1969  (the  “Industrial  Encouragement  Law”).  The  Industrial  Encouragement  Law 
defines an “Industrial Company” as a company that is resident in Israel and that derives at least 90% 
of  its  income  in  any  tax  year,  other  than  income  from  defense  loans,  capital  gains,  interest  and 
dividends, from an enterprise whose major activity in a given tax year is industrial production.

The principal benefit from the above law is the deduction of expenses in connection with a public 
offering.  Also,  under  the  industrial  Encouragement  Law  an  “Industrial  Company”  is  entitled  to 
special rates of depreciation for industrial equipment and in addition to amortization of the cost of 
purchased  know-how  and  patents  over  an  eight  year  period  for  tax  purposes  and  an  accelerated 
depreciation rate on equipment.

Eligibility for the benefits under the Industry Encouragement Law is not subject to receipt of prior 
approval from any governmental authority.

c.

d.

As of December 31, 2017, the net operating tax loss carryforward relating to the Company in Israel 
amounted  to  approximately  $72,876,  not  including  a  carryforward  capital  loss  amounting  to 
approximately $3,827. Carryforward losses in Israel may be carried forward indefinitely and may be 
offset against future taxable income.

As the Company believes that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets in respect of these 
carryforward  losses  will  not  be  utilized,  the  Company  recorded  a  full  valuation  allowance  for  the 
entire balance of the deferred tax asset relating to the carryforward losses.

The main reconciling items between the statutory tax rate of the Company and the effective tax rate 
is the valuation allowance recorded in respect of the deferred tax assets relating to net operating loss 
carryforward  and  other  temporary  differences  due  to  the  uncertainty  of  the  realization  of  such  tax 
assets.

Deferred income taxes:

Deferred  income  taxes  reflect  the  net  tax  effects  of  temporary  differences  between  the  carrying 
amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax 
purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets are as follows:

Net operating loss carryforward
Capital loss carryforward
Allowances and reserve

Total deferred tax assets before valuation allowance

As of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company has provided valuation allowances 
in  respect  of  deferred  tax  assets  resulting  from  the  tax  loss  carryforward  and  other  temporary 
differences, since it has a history of operating losses and the current uncertainty concerning its ability 
to realize these deferred tax assets in the future.

The Company accounts for its income tax uncertainties in accordance with ASC 740, which clarifies 
the accounting for uncertainties in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements and 
prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition 
and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.

As  of  December  31,  2017  and  2016,  there  were  no  unrecognized  tax  benefits  that  if  recognized 
would affect the annual effective tax rate.

NOTE 14:- RELATED PARTY BALANCE AND TRANSACTIONS

For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2017,  the  Company  incurred  $164  interest  expense  on  loans 
received from its shareholders.

In January 2017, the Company’s shareholders approved that in addition to the directors’ fees to be 
paid to all of the Company’s directors commencing as of January 1, 2017, the Company will pay the 
Investor (see Note 1c) an additional monthly payment of approximately $4.6 (NIS 17,500) for time 
devoted  to  the  Company  by  the  Executive  Chairman  of  the  Board  of  Directors,  who  is  also  a  co-
owner of the Investor. In 2017 the Company’s consolidated audited financial statements reflect net 
income (before taxes), so such additional payment increased to approximately $9 (NIS 35,000).
