Liquidity Risk
The Group have sufficient availability of cash including the short-term investment of cash surpluses and the raising of
loans to meet its obligations by cash management, subject to Group policies and guidelines.
Credit risks
Financial instruments which have the potential to expose the Group to credit risks are mainly deposits accounts, trade
receivables and other receivables.
The Group holds cash and cash equivalents and deposit accounts in big banking institutions in Israel and in the
Switzerland, thereby substantially reducing the risk to suffer credit loss.
With respect to trade receivables, the Group believes that there is no material credit risk which is not provided in light
of Group's policy to assess the credit risk instruments of customers before entering contracts.
Moreover, the Group evaluates trade receivables on a day to day basis and adjusts the allowance for doubtful accounts
accordingly.
Fair value
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, other accounts receivable, credit from banks and
others, trade payables and other accounts payable approximate their fair value.

Sensitivity tests relating to changes in marketprice of listed securities:
As at December 31, 2014 the Group investments were in various different liquid securities with maturity until June 2016.
Most of the securities are 100% capital guaranteed at maturity and therefore under the assumption that the Group will not
sell at loss before maturity and only one parameter (the relevant for each fund herein "market price") is changed, by
increase or decrease of 5% in the market price the gain and the change in equity would not be more than US$ 150 thousand or
0, receptivity, compared to the value at 31 December 2014.
The changes in the relevant risk variables were determined based on management's estimate as to reasonable possible changes
in these risk variables.
The Group has performed sensitivity tests of principal market risk factors that are liable to affect its reported operating
results or financial position. The sensitivity tests present the profit or loss and change in equity (before tax) in
respect of each financial instrument for the relevant risk variable chosen for that instrument as of each reporting date.
The test of risk factors was determined based on the materiality of the exposure of the operating results or financial
condition of each risk with reference to the functional currency and assuming that all the other variables are constant.
The sensitivity tests for listed investments with quoted market price (bid price) were performed on possible changes in
these market prices.
The Group is not exposed to cash flow risk due to interest rate since the long-term loan bares fixed interest.
The following table demonstrates the carrying amount and fair value of the groups of financial instruments that carrying

B. Guarantees
The Group has guarantees in favour of customers in the amount of US$ 550,000. The guarantees are mainly to guarantee
advances received from customers and performance of contracts signed.
On October 23, 2013 pursuant to an approval of the Company shareholders meeting, a guaranty agreement for three years
between the Company and the Parent Company was signed. In which the Parent Company has entered into an agreement with a
commercial bank (the "Lender") whereby the Lender has agreed to extend a loan of up to an aggregate amount of US$1,000,000
(the "Loan Amount") and the Parent Companyhas approached the Company to request that it provides a guarantee to the Lender
for the Loan Amount pursuant to specific terms, along with:
1. The Parent Company will pay for all of the costs and expenses incurred, and which will continue to be incurred, by the
Company in connection with the Guarantee for the duration of its term.
2. In consideration of the provision of the Guarantee by the Company, the Parent Company will pay the Company an amount
equal to 2.5 per cent. Of the Loan Amount per year of the Term. Such amount shall be paid quarterly in advance based on the
amount covered by the Guarantee at the beginning of each period.
3. The Parent Company undertakes to apply any dividend that it may receive from the Company in order to reduce the
outstanding amount of the Loan Amount prior to the use of any such dividend sum (or part thereof) for any other purpose.
In the event that the Company receives written notification from the Parent Company and/or the Lenderthat the loan is to be
repaid pursuant to the terms of the loan agreement (and the Lender intends to use the Guaranty Agreement), the Company will
call a meeting of its directors in order to declare on a dividend to shareholders of the Company in an amount that will
enable MTI Computers to discharge the then outstanding balance of the loan without the Lender using the Guaranty. For the
avoidance of doubt, any director appointed to the board of directors of the Company on behalf of MTI Computers, will not be
entitled to participate and vote on any such resolution.

damages arising from his performance during his employment period, hearing on both law suits have not started yet. The
group made a provision for this suit in an amount it believes to be sufficient. The information usually required by IAS 37
