PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
Lapis Technologies Inc. was formed in Delaware on January 31, 2002 under
the name Enertec Electronics, Inc. and has filed two Certificates of Amendment
changing our name to Opal Technologies, Inc. and then to Lapis Technologies,
Inc. We conduct operations in Israel through our wholly owned subsidiary,
Enertec Electronics Limited ("Enertec Electronics"), an Israeli corporation
formed on December 31, 1991, and Enertec Systems 2001 LTD ("Enertec Systems"),
an Israeli corporation formed on August 28, 2001, of which we own a 73% equity
interest. We are manufacturers and distributors of electronic components and
products relating to power supplies, converters and related power conversion
products, automatic test equipment (ATE), simulators and various military and
airborne systems. Where the context requires, references to "we" "us" or "our"
throughout this document include reference to Enertec Electronics and Enertec
Systems.
Our revenues are derived from two main sources, the commercial and the
military markets. In the military market we, design, develop and manufacture
test systems, airborne, shipborne, land electronic equipment and other various
military systems, for military manufacturers in accordance with their
specifications. Most of this military business is carried out by the majority
owned subsidiary Enertec Systems. In the commercial market we market and
distribute test systems, power supplies and other electronic components
manufactured in-house, and by other manufacturers who engage us to distribute
their products. This activity is carried out primarily by Enertec Electronics, a
wholly owned subsidiary. We have entered into representative and distribution
agreements with seven such manufacturers, four of which have been reduced to
written contracts.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements present the results of
operations of Lapis Technologies, Inc. and our wholly owned subsidiary Enertec
Electronics and its ownership interest in Enertec Systems, for the years ended
December 31, 2005 and 2004. All material intercompany accounts and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation.
OUR SUBSIDIARIES
In April 2002, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Enertec
Electronics, making it our wholly owned subsidiary. In this transaction, we
acquired 99 ordinary shares of Enertec Electronics from Harry Mund, our
President and Chief Executive Officer, in exchange for 4,750,000 shares of our
common stock. The common stock issued to Mr. Mund represented 86.6% of our
outstanding common stock after the transaction.
Enertec Management Limited (f/k/a Elcomtech Ltd.), a private Israeli
company, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Enertec Electronics.
Enertec Systems, a private Israeli company, is owned by Enertec Management
Limited ("Enertec Management") (73%), and Harry Mund (27%), our President and
Chief Executive Officer of Enertec Electronics Limited. The President and Chief
Executive Officer of Enertec Systems is Harry Mund, and the Chief Operating
Officer is Zvika Avni. Enertec Systems commenced operations on January 1, 2002.
ENERTEC ELECTRONICS
Enertec Electronics is responsible for:
o The marketing and distribution of power supplies and other related
power products manufactured by us and third-party firms that engage
us to distribute their products; and
o The marketing and distribution of power supply testing equipment to
our military and commercial customers.
1
Our customers have products that require power supplies. We are contacted
by them with their specifications, and based on that data, we provide a
standard, or if necessary, a semi-custom or custom, power supply solution. Our
technical sales staff in Israel has a comprehensive understanding of our
customers' product base, which allows us to provide the most efficient power
supply solution to our customers. Our professional marketing and sales teams
include engineers who provide support to customers from the early stages of
product definition and first sampling, through the production stages and up to
after-sales support. Examples of products that require power supplies are
computers, modems, printers, faxes, telephones, transmitter/receivers for
commercial and military communications, radar, airborne infra-red cameras,
surveillance equipment, telecom network routers, video-conference routers,
cellular telephone transmitters/receivers, television on-routers,
internet-routers, medical MRI scanners, x-ray equipment, robots, drivers for
electric motors, and industrial control systems.
We have also entered into representative contracts or distribution
contracts with various international power supply manufacturers. These
manufacturers granted us exclusive rights to sell their products in Israel. We
solicit sales within Israel and, upon receipt of purchase orders, we contact the
supply manufacturers to fulfill such orders. We thereafter apply a mark-up to
the products. We have exclusive rights in that the supply manufacturers do not
promote their products directly within Israel. Further, if a customer contacts
the supply manufacturers directly, such manufacturer will redirect the customer
to us, or advise us to contact the customer regarding the order.
We are also a major local Israeli distributor of power testing equipment.
This includes DC and AC electronic loads, that is, equipment used for the
testing of power supplies which utilize alternate current (AC) and direct
current (DC) technology. We also provide various measurement devices that
measure factors such as electrical values, voltage, current, power, resistance,
and simulators - that is, pieces of equipment used during the testing process to
simulate different input/output conditions while monitoring the responses of the
unit to determine whether the equipment is functioning correctly. Additionally,
we provide complete ATE Systems (automatic test systems), which are complete
systems typically built to automatically test electronic systems in their
entirety. Examples of such systems are power supplies, computers, modems,
telecom systems, electronic motors, communication equipment, and various
military systems used on aircrafts, ships or tanks.
Although Enertec Electronics is no longer generating revenues within the
military industry for customized systems, it does have a small amount of
residual orders of ATE's to be delivered during the course of 2006, however
Enertec Eletronics is focusing its efforts almost exclusively on developing its
business within the power supplies and power supply testing equipment arena.
ENERTEC SYSTEMS
Enertec Systems is responsible for designing, developing and manufacturing
test systems for electronics manufacturers in the military industry based on
their specifications. Our systems are highly sophisticated and we have achieved
recognition as a major local manufacturer of ATE Systems. We also design and
manufacture various airborne military systems - for example, electronic systems
used in aircrafts such as power supplies, laser drivers , mission computers and
control systems for motor and pumps, radio transceivers, altitude measuring
devices, and sub-assemblies, which are parts of a system developed with a
customer's specifications.
Through our subsidiaries we customize power supplies, create military
systems and ATE's. Enertec Electronics focuses on manufacturing and distributing
standard and customized power supplies in the non-military arena, as well as the
distribution of standard military related power supplies. Enertec Systems meets
the scrupulous customer standards which demand compliance with stringent
security clearance standards. Enertec Systems exclusively manufactures
customized military related products. Our quality control systems are compliant
with ISO9001:2000.
The International Organization of Standardization ("ISO") designated
ISO9001:2000 to apply to organizations that design, develop, produce, install,
and service products. ISO expects organizations to apply this model, and to meet
certain requirements, by developing a quality control system. ISO9001:2000 is
the international standard for quality assurance and quality design. This is the
most common worldwide standard and is implemented across all kinds of
organizations, including manufacturers, schools and shops. Most customers in our
industry insist on doing business with companies that are least ISO9002:2000
approved, a standard that is less demanding than IS9001:2000. The ISO9002:2000
standard is related mainly to the quality assurance of the manufacturing
process, while the higher ISO9001:2000 standard includes both the quality
assurance of the manufacturing process component as well as the quality of the
design. The ISO9001:2000 standard is important to customers who are placing
orders for custom made products.
2
The ISO9001:2000 quality assurance model is made up of a combination of
quality system requirements.
The key requirements are that an organization should:
o Determine the needs and expectations of customers and other
interested parties;
o Establish policies, objectives and a work environment necessary to
motivate the organization to satisfy these needs;
o Design, resource and manage a system of interconnected processes
necessary to implement the policy and attain the objectives;
o Measure and analyze the adequacy, efficiency and effectiveness of
each process in fulfilling its purpose and objectives; and
o Pursue the continual improvement of the system from an objective
evaluation of its performance.
A typical process for designing, planning and implementing a quality
system typically involves:
o Planning the quality initiative and obtaining executive sponsorship;
o Establishing the quality policy for the organization;
o Designing and planning the Quality Management System (QMS), usually
based on international standards;
o Establishing the quality organization, developing the quality manual
and structure of quality records;
o Determining the scope of implementation;
o Assuring quality plans;
o Reviewing deliverables and determining any actions;
o Auditing quality records;
o Defining areas for process improvement; and
o Managing the improvement program.
NEW PRODUCTS
ENERTEC SYSTEMS
During 2004, Enertec Systems, began focusing exclusively on the military
arena, and entered into numerous new fields of military technology in addition
to our "classic" ATE field of expertise. In 2005, Enertec Systems continued this
focus almost exclusively.
During 2004 we successfully marketed a new line of ruggedized Command and
Control mobile stations of modular architecture, allowing
adaptation/customization to various applications for which we received and
delivered several orders. In 2005, we delivered several units for qualification
and integration. Following this successful integration we expect many more
follow up orders over the next eighteen months.
Over the last twelve months, we started selling ruggedized mission
computers for combat vehicles. This new line has been well received and we have
already delivered three prototypes to I.A.I. (Israeli Aircraft Industry) who
intends to replace their computers which were previously manufactured in-house
and have been active in the field for many years and are looking for a new
outsourced supplier of these mission computers. These first units that we
delivered, have successfully passed all qualification and validation tests. As a
result of the success of the prototype, in 2006 we anticipate many more orders
to fulfill IAI's need for their replacements.
We introduced a new line of military grade Power Distribution Units for
use in airborne, shipborne and ground applications. We have already received
the, first batch of orders generating about $800,000 in revenues which were
delivered during 2005. Further units are scheduled for deliveries over the next
four years.
3
We introduced a new test system for the helicopter's flight computer which
generated an order for the first unit in 2004. This system was designed and
built during 2005 and we began the testing with the various units it will be
integrated with. We expect to deliver the first order during 2006. We are
expecting its successful launch to generate several follow up orders within the
next twelve months.
Capitalizing on our technical expertise in the missiles testing field, we
have introduced a comprehensive system to test and simulate all stages of a
ground-to-air anti-missile missile as well as a new test system for air-to-air
missiles.
We also designed an innovative, small airborne multiple-output power
supply specially designed for attack payloads. It uses a proprietary technology
that was developed in-house to power a planar switching transformer which
enables further miniaturization and a higher output power to size ratio. This
new line has been well received by our customers, and the first samples have
already passed the stringent military screening tests. As of the end of 2005 we
received our first orders in the amount of $240,000. Part of them have been
delivered during the 4th quarter of 2005, the balance is scheduled for delivery
during the 1st and 2'nd quarters of 2006.
During 2005 we introduced several new designs, which are described below.
1. A Laser system and driver for Airborne Targeting Pods, utilizing
laser designation of targets. This is a new entry into the field of
high-tech, high accuracy and high power military lasers. Our innovative
and unique design is based on a state of the art high-power laser diode
which provides high accuracy and long range detection and tracking of
targets. This project is a turn-key product from the initial electronic
and mechanical design up to the production and delivery of the complete
system. We have already received an order for the first systems generating
revenues of $250,000 with a delivery date staggered over 2006.
2. A Ground Control System for airborne attack platforms. The system
receives data from aircrafts and transmits it in real time. The design was
based on an upgraded version of a previous design already proven in the
field. We received several orders in the amount of $240,000, with
anticipated follow up orders for 2006.
3. A Simulation and Test System for a highly classified defense
project. This technologically complex design is being outsourced for the
first time, and so was very tentative in progress, however we have already
delivered the first batch in December of 2005 resulting in revenues of
$1,250,000 with a record lead-time of 3 months. We expect to receive
repeat orders of about 5 systems per year.
4. A Generic Test System for new anti-tank missiles. This
incorporated state of the art hardware and software designs, tests and
validates 30 different sub-systems. The first systems were ordered in the
amount of $1.4 Million dollars. This test system for anti-tank missiles,
could generate orders for a couple of units a year for approximately the
next ten years.
ENERTEC ELECTRONICS
We successfully completed the UL safety approvals for a new custom-made
power supply. It is implemented in a series of modems for fast network access of
data and voice over the IP network. In 2005, 1500 units were ordered.
We delivered the first samples of DC/DC converters for military CDU
(Command Display Units) in the fourth quarter of 2004. These samples were
followed with an order for 1500 which were delivered over the course of 2005.
We entered into a new arena of customized power supplies for fast data
networking systems. We customized compact PCI power supplies and during 2004
received orders for 200 units. This successful launch resulted in more than 200
units in follow-up orders in 2005.
4
During 2005 we introduced several new products with long expected
lifecycles, which are described below:
1. We designed a compact, and economical optimized cost/performance
redundant power supply for data communication application. The first
samples were delivered and have already resulted in a follow up order for
several thousands units to be delivered over 2006 generating a backlog of
about $155,000.
2. We launched a new compact PCI power supply for a Video-On-Demand
application, the first samples were delivered in the 4th Quarter of 2005.
3. We released and delivered 200 industrial-grade power supplies for
air-conditioning systems. The potential follow up for the next eighteen
months is in the range of 3000-5000 additional units.
4. 50 Multiple-output power supplies for mobile wireless
communication were installed.
5. We designed a customized external power supply for military
note-book computers which will be installed by our customers to the US
military within the army, navy, air-force etc. The first 25 power supplies
have already been delivered and successfully passed all the stringent
military qualification tests. We expect to generate in the order of
several thousands of units per year for several years in the future.
6. The first samples of a new compact PCI power supply for Video
Conferencing were delivered in the 4th Quarter of 2005.
MARKETING STRATEGIES
We market our products to a diverse group of manufacturers. Our products
serve the various needs of local Israeli manufacturers of electronic systems in
the following fields:
o Telecommunications;
o Medical;
o Military; and
o Industrial.
We currently sell only to Israeli companies that, in turn, incorporate our
components into their products for resale to the global markets. However in the
future we anticipate creating some kind of platform to market Enertec Systems'
products to U.S. companies as well as creating a manufacturing base within the
United States so as to benefit from U.S. government dollars directed to Israel's
military aid with the condition of being spent on U.S manufactured products.
Currently we advertise in all the local Israeli technical magazines and
participate in electronic seminars, exhibitions and shows four to six times a
year. A substantial part of the business is from "captive" customers who have
been working with us for many years. Many companies have engaged us from their
inception, and have implemented our custom designed solutions. Many of our
customers rely on us for technical services, products and support, and consider
us to be their own "power supply department" and "ATE systems department".
Beginning in 2004 and more evidently during 2005 we have become a "systems
house" of military systems, making turn-key projects from design to production
on behalf of our customers.
We also derive a considerable percentage of our business from
word-of-mouth referrals. Our reputation is backed by many years of providing
quality products and services. Our marketing strategy has been based on our
brand name and reputation, which has grown substantially over the last eighteen
years, including eight years prior to the formation of Enertec Electronics, when
business was conducted under the name "Enertec International."
Over the next 24 months, we plan on continuing our aggressive marketing
efforts. Part of our success within Enertec Systems has been to anticipate the
needs of our clients and to start working on products that we know they will
need thus gaining an edge on our competition in our time to market. Furthermore
by having our ear close to the ground, we have been able to identify those of
our clients and potential clients that look poised to get the big orders and
focus our attention on gaining a foothold within that client. When successful
this strategy enables us to benefit from the large order flow that they receive
both in terms of the typical products they would expect us to produce for them
as well as the more sophisticated products that they might not expect that we
are then in the perfect position to offer to them, especially if they are
inundated with business we are able to step in and ease the burden of some of
the non-core components as well as some of the core components.
5
By continuously diversifying into new and more complex products, Enertec
Systems has been able to set itself apart from its competition. In 2005,
following the trend we started in 2004, we decided to increase our suite of
custom products based on our proprietary design and technology. These products
are core components of several long term military programs spearheaded by our
customers, with expected purchase lifecycles over periods of up to 10 years.
At Enertec Systems the competitive edge lies with the sophistication and
the complex nature of the products. Enertec Electronics however, maintains its
competitive advantage primarily through its range of products, their pricing,
cost effective adaptation to the customers' needs and the strong technical
application support provided to customers.
MARKET CONDITIONS
Enertec Electronics
The worldwide market for high-tech, telecommunications, and Internet
related products affects the Electronics Division's power supplies sales. In the
second half of 2004 the overall market started to improve, and this trend
continued during 2005 resulting in an increase of sales to this sector.
Enertec Systems
During the last two quarters of 2004 the local military market improved
significantly resulting in many new orders received which contributed to a large
backlog of military products. This trend continued through 2005 resulting in a
further increase in the backlog totaling $4.5 Million dollars.
Additionally, manufacturers that sell end products such as missiles,
aircrafts or computers, also provide a support system (e.g., an ATE) to the
end-user. The end-user uses this support system for maintenance of the end
product. Historically, support systems were made by manufacturers selling the
end products. Recently, however, manufacturers have been focusing their
resources on the end products rather than on support systems. This has opened up
a market for us to develop these systems.
The local Israeli market for ATE's and simulators is estimated at $100 to
$200 million annually. We have about 5% of this market, approximately the same
level of market penetration as our competitors. This market is largely
controlled by big local defense manufacturers. However, there has been a
noticeable trend by these and other defense manufacturers to outsource test
systems to specialized firms so that large manufacturers can focus their
resources on designing their core products.
The local market for outsourced custom designed military systems is above
$500 million. We have just begun to penetrate parts of this market with products
in the field of avionic systems, ruggedized control systems to name but a few.
We are actively working to increase our product portfolio.
Our stability is largely due to our diversified client base. We service
clients in the telecommunications, industrial control, medical and the military
core business sectors. In addition to this our sales force pays a significant
amount of attention to our customer relationships, providing more opportunities
to gain our foothold into a contract than our competition does. Furthermore we
offer more customized power supplies, which, we believe, makes it more difficult
for our competitors to bid successfully on the same projects or replace our
product down the road in production or for follow on orders.
A key element of our growth potential is our ability to enhance our sales
and marketing team. We will need to expand our sales and marketing team
significantly over the next several years to achieve our sales targets. We will
face significant challenges and risks in building and managing our sales and
marketing team, including managing geographically dispersed sales efforts and
adequately training our sales people in the use and benefits of our products.
6
CUSTOMERS
Our customers are mostly local Israeli manufacturers of electronic systems
from different segments of the electronics industry, within the military,
industrial, commercial, medical, and telecommunications fields. Due to the high
level of diversification of our customers, we are not dependent on any one
specific market segment; so our overall performance is hardly affected by
fluctuation in the markets. Until 2003 IAI (Israel Aircraft Industries) was our
major customer representing approx 38% of our sales. During 2004 we realized
that several Rafael divisions were receiving an increasingly high number of new
orders as a result of their aggressive marketing around the world but that they
had not increased their technical and manufacturing staff to accommodate this
growth. We positioned ourselves to become their outsourcing team for their new
orders in the areas of design, engineering and production. We increased our
investment in R&D that resulted in new designs and products that enabled us to
successfully bid on a large number of projects. During 2004 we focused our
efforts in diversifying our sales across other technologies, for example avionic
equipment and combat stations. This resulted in increased sales to Rafael
comprising approximately 25% of our total sales in 2004 as compared to 10% in
2003. This investment in R&D has given us an edge with our time to market which
resulted in several strategic alliances with major companies who are bringing
out products utilizing our systems with long project cycles, in many cases up to
10 years. By the end of 2005 Rafael became our major customer representing
approximately 64% of our sales.
In 2004 Israeli Aircraft Industry (IAI) accounted for approximately only
18% of our sales. During 2005 IAI started to design and manufacture a range of
new products for which we have been asked to provide Test Equipment, Simulators
and Support Systems. We have already received several new orders for the first
units to be delivered during 2006 and are currently working on a large number of
new proposals which we expect will increase our sales to IAI's as a percentage
of our total sales for delivery in 2006.
The rest of our sales are pretty much evenly spread between our other main
customers: Elbit, El-Op and Tadiran Spectralink, at the military field and a
very large number of customers at the commercial field.
BACKLOG
As of December 31 2005 we had a backlog of orders for our products and
services in the amount of approximately $4,500,000 as compared to a backlog of
approximately $3,139,000 as of December 31, 2004. The increase of 43% in the
backlog as of December 31 2005 compared to December 31 2004 is mainly due to our
efforts to introduce new products to new customers. During the second half of
2005 our success resulted in a significant increase in orders for military
systems in particular a big increase in orders from several of Rafael's
divisions. Additionally, the delivery lead-time for military systems is six to
twelve months, which gives rise to a significant backlog.
The orders included in the December 31, 2005 backlog figure are as
follows:
Enertec Systems
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
$2,812,000 representing airborne power supplies, laser systems, flight
computers and test systems for avionics and military systems
335,000 representing test systems for IAI missiles and avionic systems
215,000 representing airborne power supplies and test systems for
infra-red payloads
116,000 representing various other products
83,000 representing data link test equipment.
39,000 representing medical systems
----------
$3,600,000 TOTAL backlog for Enertec Systems
==========
Enertec Electronics
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
$900,000 This figure includes a variety of orders for
commercial, telecom, medical, industrial and military off-
the-shelf power supplies as well as several orders for
standard test equipment for both the commercial and military
industry.

COMPETITION
ENERTEC ELECTRONICS
We face intense competition within Enertec Electronics from the existing
manufacturers and distributors of electronic components and products. Presently,
several competing companies that have greater resources than we do, such as
financial, operational, sales, marketing, and research and development
resources, are actively engaged in the manufacture and distribution of
electronic components and products. Our main competitors include Advice
Electronics Ltd., Appletec Ltd., Migvan Technologies Ltd., Boran Technologies
Ltd., Telkoor Power Supplies Ltd., and Horizon Electronics Ltd.
However, we have been able to compete effectively with these companies for
the following reasons:
o Our power supplies are high quality, low cost, and are backed by a
large number of experienced technicians - unique combination in this
industry. Most of our sales people are engineers, who have an
understanding of our customer's requirements, allowing us to provide
cost-effective solutions.
o We have comprehensive experience in test systems, which enables our
sales people to propose the most cost-effective testing solutions,
incorporating the highest grade of software and the most
sophisticated hardware.
o We maintain a strong technical team that provides solutions to our
customers' needs within our target niche.
o Our products are sold in diversified activity fields, namely,
commercial, industrial, military, medical, systems and components.
Our products have been incorporated into many high volume production
projects with long-term purchasing agreements of up to two years. Since our
customers' products are sold intermittently but in high volume, our customers
place long-term orders with us to cover their production needs over a period of
several months to up to a year to ensure delivery in a timely fashion.
Additionally, we mass-produce power supplies for several clients and are the
main manufacturer to several providers of telecom, datacom, video on demand and
video conferencing. Due to the significant approval process these products must
pass to get to the market, it is not cost effective to replace our component
with a cheaper competitor's product because they would have to resubmit the
product for re-approval with the new component inside.
ENERTEC SYSTEMS
Our chief source of competition for Enertec Systems is our clients
themselves. Most of our clients have done their own systems testing and core
component manufacturing in house. But as their volume of sales start increasing
it is easier for us to provide an outsourcing capability for them. Furthermore
as we continue to prove our expertise and our clients allow us to create
increasingly complex products for them, we have started to build their trust and
are overtaking a lot of the functions that previously they would have produced
in house. Outside competitors that we face are: Chaban Electronics Ltd,
Symcotech Ltd, and Rada Electronic Industries ltd.
SUPPLIES AND SUPPLIERS
Our suppliers are diversified and we are not dependent upon a limited
number of suppliers for essential raw materials, energy or other items. The
manufacturers that supply to us are all established companies with facilities
and products in compliance with all relevant international standards. However,
while we are not dependent on any one supplier, disruptions in normal business
arrangements by the loss of one or a few suppliers could cause possible
short-term losses. These disruptions may be experienced if our existing
suppliers are no longer able to meet our requirements. They may also occur if
there is an industry shortage of electronic or mechanical components. Not only
could these disruptions affect our product line and limit our production
capacity, but also, in relation to the shortage of components, could result in
higher costs due to the supply shortage or the need to use higher cost
substitute components.
8
The raw materials we use are either electronic components or mechanical
components. The electronic components are purchased from suppliers and the
mechanical components are mainly manufactured by local subcontractors.
EMPLOYEES
As of December 31, 2005, Enertec Electronics had 11 employees and Enertec
Systems had 50 employees. All technical employees must sign a two-year
confidentiality agreement and a two-year non-compete agreement, which prohibits
our employees, if they cease working for us, from directly competing with us or
working for our competitors. However, Israeli courts have required employers
seeking to enforce non-compete undertakings of a former employee to demonstrate
that the competitive activities of the former employee will harm one of a
limited number of material interests of the employer, such as the secrecy of a
company's confidential commercial information or its intellectual property. We
may not be able to demonstrate that harm would be caused to us, and therefore,
may be unable to prevent our competitors from hiring and benefiting from the
expertise of our former employees. None of our employees are subject to a
collective bargaining agreement. We do not employ any supplemental benefits or
incentive arrangements for our officers or employees. All of our employees are
full-time. Management considers its employee relations to be good.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENDITURES
Research and Development costs totaled approximately $379,000 and $110,000
for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, which
equates to approximately 5.2% and 1.8% of revenues, respectively, for both
periods. These expenditures have adequately satisfied our research and
development requirements.
The increase of our R&D expenditures as compared to 2004 is a result of
our strategic move to develop new technologies such as airborne high power laser
targeting systems and other classified technologies which allowed us to form
long term strategic alliances with several big military programs.
SEASONAL ASPECTS OF OUR BUSINESS
The sales of military products experience seasonal variations this is due
to the fact that the Israeli Ministry of Defense frequently delays the release
of budgets near the end of the fiscal year. Therefore new orders to the military
industry are delayed, leading to delays of orders to the local subcontractors.
When this happens it negatively affects the sales volume of the 1st quarter of
the year. In addition, some of our customers push for increased deliveries
during the last weeks of the year in order to fulfill contractual delivery
obligations to their customers and also to show better business results. This
often causes an upward spike in our fourth quarter sales.
PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS
We are not dependent on patents or trademark protection with regards to
the operation of our business and do not expect to be at any time in the future.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
Every electronic product must comply with the UL standards of the United
States and CE standards of Europe to be eligible for sale in the respective
countries subject to these standards. Every system must be tested, qualified and
labeled under the relevant standards. This is a complicated and expensive
process and once completed, the approved product may not be altered for sale.
The power supply system has the most stringent approval standards.
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.
We currently maintain plants in both Haifa and Carmiel. We have no plans
to secure more space, as we believe both locations are suitable for our needs.
9
Our Haifa plant is 400 square meters and includes a production hall and
management offices. We lease this property for $16,800 per annum from Mund
Holding Limited, an entity wholly owned by our President and Chief Executive
Officer, Harry Mund. We entered into this lease in January 2001. The Haifa plant
houses the headquarters and accounting offices, the imports department, sales
and administration employees, application engineers, and a service laboratory.
This plant is suitable for our present and near future needs. There is enough
space to accommodate an additional two to four sales engineers, if needed. This
space is also used to sell standard power supplies products.
Our Carmiel plant is 800 square meters and also includes a production
hall, with a research and development and engineering facility for our Systems
Division. The Carmiel property is leased at $38,400 per annum. We use the
Carmiel plant for manufacturing. It houses engineers, software programmers,
electronic hardware designers, mechanical designers, and electronic and
mechanical assembly personnel. It consists of office rooms for one to three
people, and contains one room for electronics assembly, one for mechanical
assembly, and two for final testing of finished products. The Systems Division
manufactures its customized products in this facility, and accordingly, it is
not a plant for high volume production. It is located in the Carmiel industrial
area, and is in close proximity to many of our Systems Division clients. Every
engineer has individual workstations, which contain computers that are
inter-connected by our own local network for fast communication. The plant has
been updated to satisfy all our present and near future needs. In this facility,
there is space for five additional offices, which would accommodate
approximately 15 more people, and the existing assembly rooms could accommodate
three to eight additional workers.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
Except as described below, we are not subject to any pending or threatened
legal proceedings, nor is our property the subject of a pending or threatened
legal proceeding. None of our directors, officers or affiliates is involved in a
proceeding adverse to our business or has a material interest adverse to our
business.
On April 16, 2002, Orckit Communications brought an action in the Tel Aviv
District Court against Gaia Converter, a French company and Alcyon Production
Systems, also a French company and a subcontractor of Gaia Converter, seeking
$1,627,966, alleging that the DC converters supplied to it by Gaia Converter
were defective and caused Orckit to replace the converters at a substantial
financial expense. Enertec Electronics was joined in the action as a local
Israeli distributor of the Gaia Converter products. Gaia Converter has advised
us that the converters in issue were free from any and all defects and were in
good working order and that it was the faulty performance of Orckit's product
into which the converters were incorporated that caused them to fail at a
greater rate than anticipated by Orckit. Enertec Electronics filed a response to
this claim that there is no cause of action against it, as among other things,
Enertec Electronics is merely the local Israeli sales representative of Gaia
Converter and did not make any implied or express representations or warranties
to Orckit regarding the suitability of the converters or otherwise, nor was
Enertec Electronics required to do so by law. Technical specifications required
by Orckit for the converters were determined and communicated directly by Orckit
to Gaia Converter and all other communications regarding the converters were
directly between Orckit and Gaia Converter. Moreover, Orckit conducted a
qualification test of the converters and confirmed to Gaia Converter that the
converters complied with their requirements subsequent to such testing. Neither
Gaia Converter nor Alcyon Production Systems have filed a response to this
action, and consequently Orkit Communications requested and obtained default
judgments from the Tel Aviv District Court against both Gaia Converter and
Alcyon Production Systems. Enertec Electronics is defending and is continuing to
defend this action vigorously and we do not believe that it will have a material
adverse impact on our business. Orkit has filed affidavits setting out the
evidence supporting their allegations and Enertec has filed affidavits setting
out the evidence supporting its defense. The case has been scheduled for hearing
in June of 2006
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
No matter was submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth

All statements other than statements of historical fact made in this report are
forward looking. In particular, the statements herein regarding industry
prospects and future results of operations or financial position are
forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements reflect management's

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements of Lapis Technologies, Inc. included herewith. This
discussion should not be construed to imply that the results discussed herein
will necessarily continue into the future, or that any conclusion reached herein
will necessarily be indicative of actual operating results in the future. Such
discussion represents only the best present assessment of our management.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of December 31, 2005, our cash balance was $78,000 as compared to
$124,000 at December 31, 2004. The decrease in cash balance was mainly due to
the increase in the company's revenues. Total current assets at December 31,
2005 were $6,601,000 as compared to $5,739,000 at December 31, 2004. The
increase in current assets is mainly due to the increase in accounts
receivables.
Our accounts receivable at December 31, 2005 was $3,712,000 as compared to
$2,544,000 at December 31, 2004. This increase is attributable to the increase
in the revenues and to the delivery of a large order in December 2005 in the
amount of approximately $1,250,000.
As of December 31, 2005 our working capital was $1,087,000 as compared to
$1,249,000 at December 31, 2004. The decrease in the working capital is mainly
due to an increase in bank debt. Bank Leumi and Bank Hapoalim have extended us a
combined total bank debt of $3,316,000 as opposed to $3,027,000 at December
31,2004. This debt is made up of a number of different components: short-term
debt, long-term debt and in the form of lines of credit, which we use from time
to time to satisfy our temporary cash flow needs. Bank Leumi has provided us
with $2,774,000 of total debt based on our pledge of $2,316,000 of our working
capital and customers' receivables due from Israeli Aircraft Industry and
Rafael, and $458,000 by the pledge of some of the financial assets of our
president, Harry Mund. Bank Hapoalim has provided us with $542,000 of total debt
based on our pledging of $373,000 of our customers' receivables due from Tadiran
Spectralink Ltd, Bigband, Zycon and Rad., and $169,000 by the pledging of some
of the financial assets of Mr. Mund. Mr. Mund has personally on deposit with our
banks monies in excess of $1,000,000 which he has pledged as collateral against
our bank debt.
The current portion of our term loans at December 31, 2005 consisted of
$118,000 compared to $ 163,000 at December 31, 2004. Our total short-term loans
consisted of $1,793,000 of short-term loans and $ 118,000 of current portion of
long-term debt broken down as follows:
$827,000 due January 2006,
$2,000 due Feb 2006,
$110,000 due March 2006,
$101,000 due April 2006
$852,000 due June 2006
$19,000 due Aug 2006.
At December 31, 2005, our total bank debt was $3,316,000 as opposed to
$3,027,000 at December 31, 2004. These funds were borrowed as follows:
$1,911,000 which includes the current portion of long term debt, as various
short term bank loans due through 2006, $96,000 of long-term debt due through
September 2007 and $1,309,000 borrowed using our bank lines of credit. As a
result, we increased the amount borrowed for the year ended December 31, 2005 by
$289,000 from $ 3,027,000 . The increase in bank debt is mainly due to the
increase in account receivables.
There are no other lines of credit available to us to refinance our
short-term bank loans. Additionally, we currently do not have any other sources
of financing available to us for refinancing our short-term loans. As of
December 31, 2005 we are current with all of our bank debt and compliant with
all the terms of our bank debt.
As of December 31, 2004, we had receivables from Harry Mund, our Chief
Executive Officer and President, in the amount of $359,000. The loan to Mr. Mund
was extended as a salary advance. This loan was repaid during 2005. At December
31, 2005, Mr. Mund had receivables from the Company in the amount of $6,620.
12
FINANCING NEEDS
Although we currently do not have any material commitments for capital
expenditures, we expect our capital requirements to increase over the next
several years as we continue to develop and test our suite of products, increase
marketing and administration infrastructure, and embark on developing in-house
business capabilities and facilities. Our future liquidity and capital funding
requirements will depend on numerous factors, including, but not limited to, the
levels and costs of our research and development initiatives, the cost of hiring
and training additional sales and marketing personnel to promote our products
and the cost and timing of the expansion of our marketing efforts.
Based on our current business plan, we anticipate that our existing cash
balances and cash generated from future sales will be sufficient to permit us to
conduct our operations and to carry out our contemplated business plans for the
next twelve months. Currently, the only external sources of liquidity are our
banks, and we may seek additional financing from them or through securities
offerings to expand our operations, using new capital to develop new products,
enhance existing products or respond to competitive pressures. At the present
time, we do not have definitive plans to seek additional financing.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31,
2004
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 we had total revenue of $
7,269,000 compared to revenue of $6,176,000 for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2004. The increase in revenue of $1,093,000, or 17.7 % is due to
- Increased investment in marketing during the first two quarters of 2005
resulting in an increased back-log of $5,350,000 at the end of September 2005,
part of which was delivered during the fourth quarter of 2005:
- Several new products in the military division were introduced during the first
two quarters of 2005 resulted in orders during 2005: and
- Our efforts to increase our sales to several new divisions at Rafael which we
identified as the main client we would target in 2005. As a result we were
invited to bid on numerous projects which we won based on our competitive
pricing and technology.
Gross profit totaled $2,008,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2005 as compared to $2,156,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, a
decrease of $148,000 or 6.9%. Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 was 27.6% as compared to 34.9% for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. The decrease in gross profit and in the
gross profit as a percentage of sales is due to the fact that:
- We have focused during the last two quarters of 2005 on developing products
with new technologies in diversified fields, resulting in a higher cost of sales
which in turn led to lower profit margins. A new order with a high technology
base requires a substantial initial investment of engineering and financial
resources. Typically we set low profit margins for first orders of new products
to establish our presence and in order to penetrate new customers. Follow up
orders for this kind of project will have higher profit margins than the initial
introductory order.
One such project of approximating revenues of $1,250,000 was booked and
delivered within 3 months, a record lead time for this kind of project but
involving a high cost, resulting in low profit margin for this first order of a
first kind of technology.
Total operating expenses are comprised of selling, general and
administrative expenses. Historically R&D costs were included in the cost of
sales. However in the 2005 financials R&D costs were re-classified and shown
separately as a part of the operating expenses.2004 financials have been
re-classified accordingly to allow comparison. Operating expenses for the fiscal
years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 were $1,770,000 and $1,331,000
respectively, an increase of $439,000 or 33%. The increase in operating expenses
is attributable to the following factors: increased R&D spending of $269,000,
increased G&A expenses of $146,000 due to increased professional services,
including legal and accounting associated with being a a public company in the
amount of $46,000; an increase of approximately $100,000 in a facility lease,
salaries and related costs; and increased marketing and selling expenses of
$24,000 as a result of our efforts to develop the market for our new products.
13
We experienced a loss of ($48,000) in the fiscal year ended December 31,
2005 compared to income of $343,000 in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.
This decrease in net income in the amount of $391,000 or -114% is mainly due to
the decrease in the gross profit of $148,000 and the increase in R&D expenses of
$269,000.
As detailed in this annual report, our business is comprised of Enertec
Electronics which derives its revenues from the commercial arena and from
standard military power supplies that it sells to the military industry
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, Enertec Electronics' revenue,
costs of sales and gross profits were $2,734,000,$2,048,000,and $686,000
respectively, and $2,719,000,$1,992,000 and $727,000 respectively for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2004. Revenue increased $15,000 or 0.6%. Costs of sales
increased by approximately by $56,000 or 0.3%. Gross profit decreased $ 41,000
or 5,6% due to higher cost of sales.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2005, revenues, costs of sales
and gross profits from Enertec Systems 2001 were $4,535,000, $3,213,000 and
$1,322,000 respectively, and $3,457,000,$2,028,000 and $1,429,000 respectively
for twelve months ended December 31, 2004. Revenue increased $1,078,000 or
31.2%, as a result of the successful penetration to new customers with new
products.
Cost of sales increased approximately $1,185,000 or 58.4% due to increase
in sales,the introduction of products in new technologies niches and penetration
cost to new customers. Gross Profit decreased $107,000 or 7.5% due to higher
cost of sales involved with the penetration to new customers and products in new
technology fields.
At December 31, 2005, we had two customers that accounted for
approximately 69% of accounts receivable. For the years ended December 31, 2005
and 2004, approximately 57% and 43% of our sales were to two customers
respectively.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably
likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues,
results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Concentration of Credit Risk - Concentrations of credit risk with respect
to trade receivables are limited to customers dispersed primarily across Israel.
All trade receivables are concentrated in the manufacturing and distribution of
electronic components segment of the economy; accordingly the Company is exposed
to business and economic risk. Although the Company does not currently foresee a
concentrated credit risk associated with these trade receivables, repayment is
dependent upon the financial stability of this segment of the economy.
Revenue Recognition and Customer Deposits - Revenue is recorded as product
is shipped, the price has been fixed or determined, collectibility is reasonably
assured and all material specific performance obligations have been completed.
The product sold by the Company is made to the specifications of each customer;
sales returns and allowances are allowed on a case-by-case basis, are not
material to the financial statements and are recorded as an adjustment to sales.
Cash payments received in advance are recorded as customer deposits.
Revenue relating to service is recognized on the straight-line basis over
the life of the agreement, generally one year. For the years ended December 31,
2004 and 2003 revenue relating to service contracts is less than one percent of
net sales.
Research and Development Costs - Research and development costs are
charged to general and administrative expense in the accompanying statement of
income and consist of salaries. Research and development cost for the years
ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 were approximately $379,000 and $110,000,
respectively.
Financial Instruments - The carrying amounts of financial instruments,
including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, bank line of credit,
short term bank loans and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair
value at December 31, 2004 because of the relatively short maturity of the
instruments. The fair value of due from stockholder is not practical to estimate
without incurring excessive cost and is carried at cost at December 31, 2004.
The carrying value of the long-term debt approximate fair value at December 31,
2004 based upon debt terms available for companies under similar terms.
14
Foreign Currency Translation - Lapis Technologies, Inc. has one wholly
owned subsidiary, Enertec Electronics Limited, an Israeli corporation, and one
majority owned subsidiary, Enertec Systems 2001 Ltd., an Israeli corporation.
The assets and liabilities of the foreign subsidiaries are translated at current
exchange rates and related revenues and expenses at average exchange rates in
effect during the year. Resulting translation adjustments, if material, are
recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income or
loss.
ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
All financial information required by this Item is attached hereto at the
end of this report beginning on page F-1 and is hereby incorporated by
reference.
ITEM 8. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.
On April 1, 2004, Rogoff & Company, P.C. informed us that they were
resigning as our principal independent auditors because they were no longer
going to do audit work for public companies. Going forward from April 1, 2004
our principal independent auditor will be Gvilli & Co. C.P.A. The decision to
engage Gvilli & Co. was taken upon the unanimous approval of our Board of
Directors.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002 and
through April 1, 2004, (i) there were no disagreements between the Company and
Rogoff & Company on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial
statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to
the satisfaction of Rogoff & Company would have caused Rogoff & Company to make
reference to the matter in its reports on the Company's financial statements,
and (ii) Rogoff & Company's reports on the Company's financial statements did
not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, or was modified as to
uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the last two most
recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002 and through
April 1, 2004, there were no reportable events as the term described in Item
304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-B.
During the recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and December 31,
2002 and through April 1, 2004, we did not consult with Gvilli & Co. regarding
either:
1. the application of accounting principles to any specific transaction,
either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be
rendered on our financial statements, and neither a written report was provided
to us nor oral advice was provided that Gvilli & Co. concluded was an important
factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to an accounting, auditing or
financial reporting issue; or
2. any matter that was either subject of disagreement or event, as defined
in Item 304(a)(1)(iv)(A) of Regulation S-B and the related instruction to Item
304 of Regulation S-B, or a reportable event, as that term is explained in Item
304(a)(1)(iv)(A) of Regulation S-B.
ITEM 8A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an
evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of our disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange
Act). Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are
effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the
reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is: (1) accumulated and
communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure; and (2) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the
time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms. There was no change
to our internal controls or in other factors that could affect these controls
during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The following is a brief account of the business experience of each of our
directors and executive officers during the past five years or more.
HARRY MUND, our Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, President
and Secretary since our inception, and has been the Chief Executive Officer and
President of our subsidiary, Enertec Electronics Limited, since 1987. Mr. Mund
is also the Chief Executive Officer and managing director of Enertec Management
Limited (f/k/a Elcomtech Limited), a wholly owned subsidiary of Enertec
Electronics Limited. From 1983 to 1987, Mr. Mund was the President and Chief
Executive Officer of Enercon International, a marketing and sales firm of
military and commercial power supplies and test equipment. Enercon
International's activities were transferred to Enertec International in 1987,
which subsequently became Enertec Electronics Limited in 1992. From 1975 to

to our success. We do not presently maintain key-man life insurance policies on
any of our officers.

2002 STOCK OPTION PLAN
We adopted, subject to stockholder approval, our 2002 Stock Option Plan on
October 16, 2002. Our stockholders approved the plan on October 16 2002 The plan
provides for the grant of options intended to qualify as "incentive stock
options", options that are not intended to so qualify or "nonstatutory stock
options" and stock appreciation rights. The total number of shares of common
stock reserved for issuance under the plan is 500,000, subject to adjustment in
the event of a stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or similar capital
change, plus an indeterminate number of shares of common stock issuable upon the
exercise of "reload options" described below. We have not yet granted any
options or stock appreciation rights under the plan.
The plan is administered by our board of directors, which will select the
eligible persons to whom options shall be granted, determines the number of
common shares subject to each option, the exercise price therein and the periods
during which options are exercisable, interprets the provisions of the plan and,
subject to certain limitations, may amend the plan. Each option granted under
the plan shall be evidenced by a written agreement between us and the optionee.
Options may be granted to our employees (including officers) and
directors, any of our subsidiaries, and certain of our consultants and advisors.
Incentive stock options can be issued to all employees (including officers).
Nonstatutory stock options can be issued to employees, non-employee directors,
or consultants and advisors.
The exercise price for incentive stock options granted under the plan may
not be less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date the
option is granted, except for options granted to 10% stockholders which must
have an exercise price of not less than 110% of the fair market value of the
common stock on the date the option is granted. The exercise price for
nonstatutory stock options is determined by the board of directors, in its sole
discretion, but may not be less than 85% of the fair market value of the
Company's common stock at the date of grant. Incentive stock options granted
under the plan have a maximum term of ten years, except for 10% stockholders who
are subject to a maximum term of five years. The term of nonstatutory stock
options is determined by the Board of Directors. Options granted under the plan
are not transferable, except by will and the laws of descent and distribution.
The board of directors may grant options with a reload feature. Optionees
granted a reload feature shall receive, contemporaneously with the payment of
the option price in common stock, a right to purchase that number of common
shares equal to the sum of (i) the number of shares of common stock used to
exercise the option, and (ii) with respect to nonstatutory stock options, the
number of shares of common stock used to satisfy any tax withholding requirement
incident to the exercise of such nonstatutory stock option.
19
Also, the plan allows the board of directors to award to an optionee for
each share of common stock covered by an option, a related alternate stock
appreciation right, permitting the optionee to be paid the appreciation on the
option in lieu of exercising the option. The amount of payment to which an
optionee shall be entitled upon the exercise of each stock appreciation right
shall be the amount, if any, by which the fair market value of a share of common
stock on the exercise date exceeds the exercise price per share of the option.
ITEM 12. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.
Our management believes the terms of each of the below transactions are at
least as favorable as could be obtained from unrelated third parties.
During 2001, our subsidiary Enertec Electronics Limited sold a building to
Mund Holding Limited, an entity wholly owned by Harry Mund, our Chief Executive
Officer and President, for approximately $170,320. An independent appraiser and
governmental body, The Capital Gains Authority, determined the sale price. The
building was paid in part with cash in the amount of $93,245, and the balance by
a non-interest bearing loan. There are no written agreements setting forth
repayment terms. The parties have orally agreed that the amount outstanding is
due on demand. As of December 31, 2005, the amount of the loan outstanding was
$48,721.
Enertec Electronics rents the building's office and manufacturing space
from Mund Holding Limited for $16,800 annually for twenty-four months ending
December 31, 2003. We have exercised our option to lease the building for an
additional twenty-four months ending December 31, 2005 for approximately $18,000
annually.
On February 22, 2005, we agreed to issue 1,000,000 shares of common stock
to Zvika Avni, a former employee of Enertec Electronics and Chief Operating
Officer of Enertec Systems, as consideration for the transfer of 18% of the
outstanding shares of Enertec Systems Ltd. to Enertec Management Limited.
Completion of the transaction was subject to receipt of a tax exemption (of a
taxable event) by the Israeli Income Tax Authority, which exemption was received
in July 2005. We own 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Enertec
Electronics Limited, which owns 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock
of Enertec Management Limited. After completion of the above transaction,
Enertec Management owns 73% of the outstanding capital stock of Enertec Systems
Ltd. The remaining 27% of the outstanding capital stock of Enertec Systems Ltd.
is owned by Harry Mund, our Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer,
President and Secretary. Zvika Avni is Chief Operating Officer of Enertec
Systems Ltd.

Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited
to customers dispersed primarily across Israel. All trade receivables are
concentrated in the manufacturing and distribution of electronic components
segment of the economy; accordingly the Company is exposed to business and
economic risk. Although the Company does not currently foresee a
concentrated credit risk associated with these trade receivables, repayment
is dependent upon the financial stability of this segment of the economy.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows the Company considers all
highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less
at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company estimates uncollectibility of accounts receivable by analyzing
historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness
and current economic trends when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance
for doubtful accounts. At December 31, 2005 the Company has not recorded an
allowance for doubtful accounts.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or
market.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and
amortization. Routine maintenance and repairs and minor replacement costs
are charged to expense as incurred, while expenditures that extend the life
of these assets are capitalized. Depreciation and amortization are provided
for in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to
operations over their estimated service lives. The Company uses the same
depreciation method for both financial reporting and tax purposes. Upon the
sale or retirement of property and equipment, the cost and related
accumulated depreciation and amortization will be removed from the accounts
and the resulting profit or loss will be reflected in the statement of
income. The estimated lives used to determine depreciation and amortization
are:
Leasehold improvements 10 years
Machinery and equipment 10 years
Furniture and fixtures 14 years
Transportation equipment 7 years
Computer equipment 3 years

Income Taxes
The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes as
required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109
"Accounting for Income Taxes." Under this method, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting
and tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in
effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances
are established when it is determined that it is more likely than not that
the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Warranty Reserves
The Company includes a one-year warranty on all products sold. A provision
for estimated warranty costs, if material, is recorded at the time of sale.
Based upon historical experience the Company has not incurred material
costs relating to its warranty and has therefore not recorded a warranty
provision at December 31, 2005
Revenue Recognition and Customer Deposits
Revenue is recorded as product is shipped, the price has been fixed or
determined, collectability is reasonably assured and all material specific
performance obligations have been completed. The product sold by the
Company is made to the specifications of each customer; sales returns and
allowances are allowed on a case-by-case basis, are not material to the
financial statements and are recorded as an adjustment to sales. Cash
payments received in advance are recorded as customer deposits.
Revenue relating to service is recognized on the straight-line basis over
the life of the agreement, generally one year. For the years ended December
31, 2005 and 2004 revenue relating to service contracts is less than one
percent of net sales.
Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales in accordance
with guidance established by the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") issue
No. 00-10, "Accounting for Shipping and Handling Costs."

Stock Based Compensation
Effective January 1, 2003 the Company adopted the fair method value
alternative of SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation-Transition and Disclosure." Under the fair value based method,
compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the
award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the
vesting period. For stock options, fair value is determined using an
option-pricing model that takes into account the stock price at the grant
date, the exercise price, the expected life of the option, the volatility
of the underlying stock and the expected dividends on it, and the risk-free
interest rate over the expected life of the option. For the years ended
December 31, 2005 and 2004 the Company did not issued any stock options.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are charged to general and administrative
expense in the accompanying statement of income and consist of salaries.
Research and development cost for the years ended December 31, 2005 and
2004 were approximately $ 379 and $110, respectively.
Earnings per Share
The Company presents basic earnings per share and, if appropriate, diluted
earnings per share in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 128
"Earnings per Share" ("SFAS 128").
Under SFAS 128 basic net earnings per share is computed by dividing the net
earnings for the year by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the year. Diluted net earnings per share is computed by
dividing the net earnings for the year by the weighted average number of
common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during the year.
Common stock equivalents would arise from the granting of stock options.
For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 the Company did not grant
any stock options. Diluted earnings per share is not included as it is the
same as basic for all periods shown.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever circumstances
and situations change such that there is an indication that the carrying
amounts may not be recovered. In such circumstances, the Company will
estimate the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset
and its eventual disposition. Future cash flows are the future cash inflows
expected to be generated by an asset less the future outflows expected to
be necessary to obtain those inflows. If the sum of the expected future
cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the
carrying amount of the asset, the Company will recognize an impairment loss
to adjust to the fair value of the asset. Management believes that there is
no impairment of long-lived assets at December 31, 2005.

Minority Interest
Minority interest represents the minority stockholders' proportionate share
of the equity of the Company's subsidiary at December 31, 2005. The
minority interest is adjusted for the minority's share of the earnings or
loss of Systems.
Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable, bank line of credit, short term bank
loans and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value at
December 31, 2005 because of the relatively short maturity of the
instruments. The fair value of due from stockholder is not practical to
estimate without incurring excessive cost and is carried at cost at
December 31, 2005. The carrying value of the long-term debt approximate
fair value at December 31, 2005 based upon debt terms available for
companies under similar terms.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income for the year and foreign
currency translation adjustments.
Foreign Currency Translation
The assets and liabilities of the foreign subsidiaries are translated at
current exchange rates and related revenues and expenses at average
exchange rates in effect during the year. Resulting translation
adjustments, if material, are recorded as a separate component of
accumulated other comprehensive income or loss.
Use of Estimates
In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year's financial
statements in order to conform to the current year presentation.

New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement No. 153 "Exchange of Non-monetary Assets - an amendment of APB
Opinion No. 29". Statement 153 eliminates the exception for nonmonetary
exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general
exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial
substance, defined as transactions that are not expected to result in
significant changes in the cash flows of the reporting entity. This
standard, which is effective for exchanges of nonmonetary assets occurring
in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005, is not applicable to the
Company's current operations.
In December 2004, FASB issued Statement No. 123 (revised 2004),
"Share-Based Payment" (SFAS 123 (revised 2004), effective for public
entities that file as small business issuers as of the beginning of the
first interim or annual reporting period that begins after December 15,
2005. This Statement is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation," and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and its related implementation
guidance. SFAS 123 (revised 2004) eliminates the alternative to use Opinion
No. 25's intrinsic value method of accounting that was provided in
Statement 123 as originally issued. Under Opinion 25, issuing stock options
to employees generally resulted in recognition of no compensation cost.
This Statement requires entities to recognize the cost of employee services
received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the
grant-date fair value of those awards (with limited exceptions).
Recognition of that compensation cost helps users of financial statements
to better understand the economic transactions affecting an entity and to
make better resource allocation decisions. The Company is required to adopt
Statement 123 (revised 2004) as of January 1, 2006, and does not expect
this statement to have a material effect on its results of operations.
In May 2005, FASB issued SFAS No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error
Corrections - a Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 (Accounting Changes) and
FASB No. 3 (Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements),"
that changes requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change
in accounting principle. This Statement requires retrospective application
to prior periods' financial statements of changes in accounting principle
unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects
or the cumulative effect of the change. When it is impracticable to
determine the period-specific effects of an accounting change on one or
more individual prior periods presented, this Statement requires that the
new accounting principle be applied to the balances of assets and
liabilities as of the beginning of the earliest period for which
retrospective application is practicable and that a corresponding
adjustment be made to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other
appropriate components of equity or net assets in the statement of
financial position) for that period rather than being reported in an income
statement. When it is impracticable to determine the cumulative effect of
applying a change in accounting principle to all prior periods, this
Statement requires that the new accounting principle be applied as if it
were adopted prospectively from the earliest date practicable.
Statement 154 is effective for accounting changes and error corrections
made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005 (calendar year
2006). Early adoption is permitted.

NOTE 6 - INCOME TAXES - (continued)
At December 31, 2005, the Company has a net operating loss carryforward of
approximately $200, which may be utilized to offset future taxable income
for United States Federal tax purposes. This net operating loss
carryforward begins to expire in 2022. The only timing difference which
creates a deferred tax asset is the net operating loss carryforward. This
net operating loss carryforward creates a deferred tax asset of
approximately $10. Since it is more likely than not that the Company will
not realize a benefit from these net operating loss carryforwards a 100%
valuation allowance has been recorded to reduce the deferred tax asset to
its net realizable value.
Deferred tax assets are classified as current or non-current, according to
the classification of the related asset or liability for financial
reporting. At December 31, 2004 the Company's wholly owned Israeli
subsidiary has a deferred tax asset of approximately $20, due to timing
differences relating to severance payable. The Israeli subsidiary has not
recorded a valuation allowance as it is more likely than not that the
timing differences will be utilized.
The following is a summary of the components of non-current deferred tax
assets at December 31, 2005:
Severance payable $ 16

NOTE 8 - SEVERANCE PAYABLE
Severance payable represents amounts computed on employees' most recent

NOTE 9 - STOCK OPTION PLAN
On October 16, 2002 the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the
formation of the 2002 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"), subject to
stockholder approval. The Plan provides for the granting of incentive stock
options, non-statutory stock options and stock appreciation rights. The
incentive stock options can be granted to employees, including officers, or
any subsidiary of the Company. The non-statutory stock options can be
granted to all employees, including officers, non-employee directors,
consultants or any subsidiary of the Company. Non-statutory stock options
can only be granted to consultants that have rendered a bona fide service
to the Company, so long as the service is not in connection with the offer
or sale of securities in a capital raising transaction. The number of
shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the Plan is 500,000,
subject to adjustment in the event of a stock split, stock dividend,
recapitalization or similar change in the Company's capital structure.
Incentive stock options must be granted prior to ten years from the date
the Plan was initially adopted by the Board of Directors. The option price
for shares issued as incentive stock options shall not be less than the
fair market value of the Company's common stock at the date of grant unless
the option is granted to an individual who, at the date of the grant, owns
more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of the
Company's stock (the "Principal Stockholder"). Then the option price shall
be at least 110% of the fair market value at the date the option is
granted. No incentive stock option granted under the Plan shall be
exercisable after ten years from its grant date. If the incentive stock
option is granted to a Principal Stockholder then the exercise period is
five years from the date of grant. Every incentive stock option granted
under the Plan shall be subject to earlier termination as expressly
provided for in the Plan.
The option price for shares issued under the non-statutory stock options
shall be determined at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors, but
may not be less than 85% of the fair market value of the Company's common
stock at the date of grant. A non-statutory stock option granted under the
Plan may be of such duration as shall be determined by the Board of
Directors.

building for approximately $170 and received approximately $113 in cash and
a note receivable for $57, which was paid in full during the year ended
December 31, 2003. No gain or loss was recorded on this transaction, as the
book value of the building equaled the fair market value. The Company has
agreed to exercise its option to rent this property through December 31,

Legal proceedings
A Customer has brought an action in the Tel Aviv District Court for an
unspecified monetary amount against one of the Company's suppliers, a
subcontractor of the supplier and Enertec, alleging that the materials
supplied were defective and caused the Customer to replace the materials at
a substantial financial expense. Enertec filed a defense claim that there
is no cause of action against them as Enertec is only the local Israeli
sales representative and did not make any implied or express representation
or warranty to the Customer regarding the suitability of its materials.
Management believes that the chance of losing this suit is remote, intends
to defend this action vigorously and does not believe that it will have a
materially adverse impact on the Company's operations and liquidity.
