On December 2011 the Company acquired from its largest shareholder, MTI Computers & Software Services (1982) Ltd. ("MTI
Computers"), the leasehold interest of its head office located at 11 Hamelacha St., Afek Industrial Park, Rosh-Ha'Ayin,
48091, Israel (the "Property"). 
 
The Company occupies approximately 75 percent of the Property; therefore it had entered into a lease agreement with MTI
Computers (which can sub lease part of the area) occupying approximately 1,100 square meters of the Property. The term of
the lease is for an initial period of 5 years, with an option to extend the lease for an additional 5 year period (the
"Option Period"). The rent for the leased area is US$ 10,000 per month throughout the initial period and will be increased
by an amount of 10 percent for the Option Period. 
 
In addition to the monthly rental payments, the tenants will pay to the Company a monthly management payment of US$ 7,150
per month as a contribution towards certain expenses (including insurance, the use of the car park, maintenance services,
rates, water and electricity). This amount will be increased by 3 percent on a yearly basis. 
 
Since the acquisition of Mottech and movement of its facility to the Property the Company entered into an agreement with
Mottech instead of MTI Computers for about 40% of the area used by MTI Computers and therefore the lease with MTI Computers
was reduced to $6,000 per month and $4,290 per month as a contribution towards certain expenses. 
 
The Group estimates that the fair value does not differ from the carrying amount as at December 31, 2015. 
 
12.       Deferred Tax Assets 
 
Deferred tax is calculated on temporary differences under the liability method using the tax rate at the year the deferred
tax assets are recovered. 
 
The movement in the deferred tax asset is as shown below:

 At December 31                                                 393      368    
                                                                                
 
 
Deferred tax assets have been recognized in respect of all differences giving rise to deferred tax assets because it is
probable that these assets will be recovered.

21.       Financial instruments - Risk Management 
 
The Group is exposed through its operations to the following financial risks: 
 
· Foreign currency risk 
 
· Credit risk 
 
Foreign currency risk 
 
Foreign exchange risk arises when Group companies enter into transactions denominated in a currency other than their
functional currency. Management mitigates that risk by holding some cash and cash equivalents and deposit accounts in NIS.
The company also purchases from time to time some forwards on the NIS/$ exchange rate to hedge part of the salaries costs.
As of December 2015 no such transactions were open. 
 
Since the purchase of Mottech the Group has an additional currency risk due to its subsidiaries activity. 
 
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. 
 
The table below summarizes the maturity profile of the Group's financial liabilities based on contractual undiscounted

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 market price of listed securities 
 
As at December 31, 2015 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$ 80 thousand,
receptivity, compared to the value at 31 December 2015. 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

24.     Share-based payment 
 
A new Option Plan was adopted by the Company at the shareholders meeting held on July 5, 2013. Under the new Plan, all
previous plans shall are cancelled and the new plan enter into effect. The new plan includes total of 2 million options to
be converted to 2 million shares of the Company (approximately 4% of the company's outstanding shares) at a price of 9.5
pence per share (approximately 15 cents). 
 
The vesting period of the options is as follows: 2 years for 50% of the options, 3 years for additional 25% of the options
and 4 years for the rest of the options. An approval for the replacement of plans was received from the tax authorities on
July 22, 2013, providing the Company, the employees and the trustee of the plan to submit the documentation required within
60 days from approval. As part of the grant of this plan an allocation of 280,000, 250,000 and 200,000 options was granted
to the CEO, CFO and the Chairman of the board, respectively. The weighted average fair value of the options as at the grant
date was 2 pence (approximately 3 cents) per option, and was estimated using a Black and Scholes option pricing model based
on the following significant data and assumptions: 
 
Share price - 7 pence (representing approximately 11 cents) 
 
Exercise price - 9.5 pence (representing approximately 15 cents) 
 
Expected volatility - 25.90% 
 
Risk-free interest rate - 0.8% 
 
Expected dividends - 0% 
 
And expected average life of options 4.375 years 
 
The volatility measured at the standard deviation of expected share price returns is based on the historical volatility of
the Company. The options were granted as part of a plan that was adopted in accordance with the provision of section 102 of
the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance. 
 
The following table lists the number of share options, the weighted average exercise prices of share options and

2014 was US $18,000 and US $27,000 respectively. 
 
25.     Commitments and guarantees 
 
A.    Royalty commitments 
 
The Group is committed to pay royalties to the Government of Israel on proceeds from sales of products in the research and
development of which the Government participates by way of grants. Under the terms of Group's funding from the Israeli
Government, royalties of 2%-3.5% are payable on sales of products developed from a project so funded, up to 100% of the
amount of the grant received, including amounts received by the Parent Company and its subsidiaries through July 1, 2000. 
 
The maximum royalty amount payable by the Group at December 31, 2015 is US$ 470,000. 
 
No provision is recognized due to the lack of expectation to sale relevant products in the foreseeable future. 
 
During 2015 the Group did not pay any royalties. 
 
B.    Guarantees 
 
i. The Group has guarantees in favour of customers in the amount of US$ 861,000. The guarantees are mainly to guarantee
advances received from customers and performance of contracts signed. 
 
ii. 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 Company has 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 Lender that 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 the Parent Company to discharge the then outstanding balance of the loan without the Lender using the
Guarantee. For the avoidance of doubt, any director appointed to the board of directors of the Company on behalf of the
Parent Company, will not be entitled to participate and vote on any such resolution. On February 10, 2016 the parent
Company notified the Company that the loan was totally returned and no further guaranty is needed. 
 
C. Contingent liability 
 
During 2014 an employee filed a suit against the Group in the Tel Aviv Court relating to termination of his employment for
an amount of 585,000 NIS. The Group filed a suit against the employee, in an amount of 290,000 NIS in connection with
damages arising from his performance during his employment period. The group made a provision for this suit in an amount it
believes to be sufficient. 
 
On July 2, 2015 the Group concluded an agreement with the former employee who is discussed above. The provision recognized
in the 2014 financial statements was sufficient. 
 
D. Charges 
 
In order to secure the Group's liabilities, real estate properties were mortgaged and fixed charges were recorded on
property and some bank deposits. 
 
26.     Transactions with related parties:

year for accumulation) the bonus for the next year will be for a net profit exceeding 250,000 USD above the loss made in
the previous year. In addition Mr. Moni Borovitz shall be entitled to a bonus equal to one month management fee, based on
the meeting of targets specified by the remuneration committee at the beginning of each year. 
 
A ceiling to the bonuses was set at 8 months management fees for Mr. Moni Borovitz and 100,000 USD for Mr. Zvi Borovitz. 
 
The agreement also states that the Company shall reimburse the management of the company for any expense made in
performance of the manager's duty. The Company shall also provide each of the managers with a car and phones and will be
responsible for all its related expenses, including all relevant taxes. 
 
As part of the new policy the shareholders meeting also approved a change to the share option plan of the Company, subject
to the approval of the Israeli Tax Authorities. As part of the new option plan Mr. Zvi Borovitz was granted 200,000 options
and Mr. Moni Borovitz was granted 250,000 options. Further details re the new option plan are detailed in section 24

27.     Subsequent events 
 
A.      The Board of directors has decided to declare a dividend of 1.1 cent per share being approximately $567,000. 
 
B.      On January 12, 2016, following the approval of its shareholders,  the Company adopted a change to its article of
association allowing the Company the ability to pay dividends by way of scrip, meaning the board would be able to announce
a dividend which could be paid in cash or through the issue of new shares in the Company (the "Scrip Dividend
Policy").Under the Scrip Dividend Policy, shareholders could, in the future, be given the option to elect to receive
dividends in new shares of the Company rather than in cash. The default arrangement will be for the payment of dividends in
cash, and if the shareholder prefers to receive their dividends in new shares of the Company, then they would have to make
an election. There would be no ability to make mixed elections and each shareholder would be able to choose either cash or
new shares but not both. The decision to offer shareholders a scrip dividend alternative for future dividend payments will
be at the sole discretion of the Board. At the same meeting a special bonus to the Company's CFO was approved as detailed
in note 26 above. 
 
C.      The financial statements were authorized for issue by the board as a whole following their approval on February 16,
2016.
