	Note 1 - General
	A.	Introduction
	On Track Innovations Ltd. (the "Company") was founded in 1990, in Israel. The Company and its subsidiaries (together "the Group") are principally engaged in the field of design and development of cashless payment solutions. The Company's shares are listed for trading on NASDAQ.
	Until the end of 2012 the Company considered itself to be in a single reporting segment and operating unit structure. In 2013 following the change in the Company's Board of directors composition, the Company now operates in three operating segments (see Note 16).
	As to the Company's major customers, see Note 17.
	Certain definitions
	$ - United States Dollars
	NIS - New Israeli Shekel
	B.	Divestiture of operations:
		1	In December 2013, the Company completed the sale of certain assets, subsidiaries and intellectual property (IP) relating to its Smart ID division, for a total purchase price of $10 million in cash and an additional $12.5 million subject to performance-based milestones ("the SmartID Division Divesture"). Accordingly the results and the cash flows of this operation for all reporting periods are presented in the statements of operations and in the statements of cash flows, respectively, as discontinued operations separately from continuing operations. The Company recorded a gain from this divesture, net of transaction costs, in the amount of $8,944.
	During 2013 the Company reached an initial agreement, which eventually closed in February 2014, to sell its wholly owned German subsidiary, Intercard System Electronics GmbH (hereinafter - "Intercard"), for total purchase price of EURO 700 (approx. $960) and an additional immaterial contingent consideration based on future sales ("the German Subsidiary Divesture"). Accordingly, assets and liabilities related to the German subsidiary are presented separately in the balance sheets, as assets and liabilities held for sale, which was consummated in February 2014. As of December 31, 2013, the Company recognizes a loss from impairment assets in the amount of  $2,970 that reflects the difference between the book value of Intercard's assets, net of liabilities, and the consideration (see also note 14). The Company recorded the impairment charge of $2,970 in its statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013, among "net income from discontinued operations". The results and the cash flows of this operation for the reporting periods are presented in the statements of operations and in the statements of cash flows, respectively, as discontinued operations separately from continuing operations.
	All prior periods' information has been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.
	As to contingent considerations see note 2V.
		2	In August 2013 the Company, through its subsidiary, Parx Ltd. entered into a share purchase agreement with a third party for the sale of 100% of the shares of a subsidiary, Parx France, for consideration of 25% of Parx France's future profits on an EBITDA basis . The Company has recorded a capital loss in the amount of $231, presented in the statement of operations among "other operating income, net".
	Parx France will retain its exclusive distribution rights to France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland, and several domestic and overseas French Territories, subject to certain commercial terms. The Company will retain its intellectual property related to the EasyPark system, and will provide to Parx France the full suite of its parking products, including the EasyPark in vehicle meter device and EasyPark Mobile service.
	As to contingent considerations see note 2V.
	C.	Acquisition of subsidiaries and business operations
		1	In April 2012, the Company completed, through its subsidiary Parx Ltd, the purchase of 100% of the share capital of CPI Communication Ltd. ("CPI"), an Israeli-based company that provides private parking solutions across Israel (hereinafter- "the CPI Transaction"). CPI was purchased in order to expand the Company's product offering, for a purchase price of $247, comprised of $100 in cash and $147 by issuance of 90,361 warrants to purchase the Company's ordinary shares.
	The 90,361 warrants were issued with a par value exercise price and become exercisable in five equal installments over a period of five years.
	The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, using the purchase method of accounting and the Company allocated the purchase price according to the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Transaction costs were expensed.
	As part of the purchase price allocation, the Company recognized a technology intangible asset, at an estimated fair value of $256. The intangible asset is amortized on a straight line basis, over its estimated useful life, which was determined to be eight years.
	During the end of 2013 the Company's management decided to abandon the operations of CPI. This change required an impairment analysis to be performed. As for the impairment of the technology intangible asset, see note 6B.i.
		2	On January 4, 2011 Parx Ltd., the Company's subsidiary, entered into an assets acquisition agreement with Ganis Systems Ltd. ("Ganis") for the acquisition of assets and intellectual property (IP). In consideration for this acquisition, the Company paid Ganis $400 in cash and issued to it 130,521 ordinary shares of the Company. The ordinary shares will be subject to lock-up, where 26,760 ordinary shares will be free from lock up seven months after the closing date and additional amounts of 34,587 ordinary shares will be released from lock-up 12, 18 and 24 months after the closing date. If the aggregate value of the shares when released from their lock-up is below a certain amount, the Company was to compensate Ganis. As of December 31, 2012 the Company recorded a liability in the amount of $116 for this matter. The amount was fully paid in February 2013. In addition, under an earn-out agreement, Ganis may be entitled to certain earn-out payments of up to an additional $450 over the next three years, based on reaching certain success criteria determined by the companies. No such earn-out payments were made as of December 31, 2013. Under the terms of the agreement, the chairman of board of the Company (or the board) will be granted an irrevocable proxy to vote the shares that are issued as part of the transaction.
	The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, using the purchase method of accounting and the Company allocated the purchase price according to the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Transaction costs were expensed.
	In connection with the acquisition, the Company recognized three intangible assets: (1) customer relationships, estimated fair value of $102, with an estimated useful life of 11 years, (2) technology, estimated fair value of $43 with an estimated useful life of 14 years, and (3) brand, estimated fair value of $28, with an estimated useful life of 12 years. Amortization was computed on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. The Company also recognized goodwill in the estimated amount of $485. Amortization of the goodwill is a recognized expense for tax purposes.
	During 2013, due to the Company's change in its operating segments reporting, the goodwill mandatory annual impairment testing and the current period operating and cash flow losses combined with negative projections regarding Ganis operations, the Company assessed the recoverability of the customer relationships, the brand and the technology acquired. The Company has also performed an assessment under the annual goodwill testing. As for the impairment of these intangible assets and goodwill see note 6A and 6B.i., respectively.

Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Significant Accounting Policies	'
	Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies
	The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP").
	The significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the financial statements, applied on a consistent basis, are as follows:
	A.	Financial statements in U.S. dollars
	Substantially all of the Company's and certain of its subsidiaries' revenues are in U.S. dollars. A significant portion of purchases of materials and components and most marketing costs are denominated in U.S. dollars. Therefore, both the functional and reporting currencies of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries are the U.S. dollar.
	Transactions and balances denominated in U.S. dollars are presented at their original amounts.
	For entities with a U.S. dollar functional currency, transactions and balances in other currencies are remeasured into U.S. dollars in accordance with the principles set forth in ASC Topic 830, Foreign Currency Matters, i.e. at the date the transaction is recognized, each asset, liability, or instance of revenue, expense, gain, or loss arising from the transaction is measured and recorded in the functional currency by use of the exchange rate in effect at that date. When translation using the exchange rates at the dates that the numerous revenues, expenses, gains, and losses are recognized is impractical, an appropriately weighted average exchange rate for the period is used to translate those elements. At each balance sheet date, recorded balances of monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are adjusted to reflect the current exchange rate. Exchange gains and losses from the remeasurement of such items denominated in non U.S. dollar currencies are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations, in 'financial expenses, net', as appropriate.
	The functional currencies of the remaining subsidiaries are their local currencies. The financial statements of those companies are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate at the balance sheet date for assets and liabilities, and weighted average exchange rates for revenues and expenses (which approximates the translation of each transaction). Translation adjustments resulting from the process of the aforesaid translation are included as a separate component of equity (accumulated other comprehensive gain or loss).
	B.	Principles of consolidation
	The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and its majority owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
	C.	Estimates and assumptions
	The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management of the Company to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. Such estimates include the valuation of useful lives of long-lived assets, revenue recognition, valuation of accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of inventories and investments, legal contingencies, the assumptions used in the calculation of share based compensation, income taxes and other contingencies. Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed by management and the effects of any material revisions are reflected in the period that they are determined to be necessary. Actual results, however, may vary from these estimates.
	D.	Cash equivalents
	Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments and debt instruments that are readily convertible to cash with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase.
	E.	Short-term investments
	The Company accounts for investments in U.S and Israeli treasury securities and in corporate bonds in accordance with ASC Topic 320, Investments - Debt and Equity Securities.
	Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments in debt securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such determinations at each balance sheet date. At December 31, 2012 the Company's investments were classified as available-for-sale and are stated at market value. As of December 31, 2013, the Group does not hold any debt securities.
	Unrealized gains and losses, are reported as a separate component of equity (accumulated other comprehensive gain or loss) until realized. Interest income is recognized when earned and included in the consolidated statement of operations in financial income. Realized gains and losses, as well as premium or discount amortization, are included in financial income or expenses.
	F.	Trade receivables
	Trade receivables are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Collection of trade receivables are included in net cash provided by operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The consolidated financial statements include an allowance for loss from receivables for which collection is in doubt.  In determining the adequacy of the allowance consideration is given to each trade receivable historical experience, aging of the receivable, adjusted to take into account current market conditions and information available about specific debtors, including their financial condition, the amount of receivables in dispute, current payment patterns, the volume of their operations, and evaluation of the security received from them or their guarantors.
	G.	Inventories
	Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined by calculating raw materials, work in process and finished products on a "moving average" basis. Inventory write-offs are provided to cover risks arising from slow moving items or technological obsolescence. Such write-offs, which were not material for the reported years, have been included in cost of revenues.
	The Company applies ASC Topic 330, Inventory which clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage) requiring that those items be recognized as current-period charges. In addition, the above topic requires that allocation of fixed production overhead costs be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities.
	H.	Property, plant and equipment, net
	Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
			Years
	Leasehold land (over the terms of the lease, see note 7A(1))		49
	Buildings		25
	Computers, software and manufacturing equipment		5-Mar
	Office furniture and equipment		16-May
			(mainly - 10)
	I.	Impairment of long-lived assets
	Long-lived assets, such as property, plant, and equipment, and purchased intangible assets subject to amortization, are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If circumstances require a long-lived asset to be tested for possible impairment, the Company first compares undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by an asset to the carrying value of the asset. If the carrying value of the long-lived asset is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary.
	In 2013 the Company recorded an impairment of intangible assets in the amount of $328 (see Note 6B).
	No impairment losses were recorded in 2011 and 2012.
	J.	Goodwill and purchased intangible assets
	Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in a purchase businesses combination. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment at least annually, as of December every year.
	In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment, which provides an entity the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount prior to performing the two-step goodwill impairment test. If this is the case, the two-step goodwill impairment test is required. If it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, the two-step goodwill impairment test is not required. The Company adopted this guidance in 2012.
	If the two-step goodwill impairment test is required, first, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared with its carrying value (including goodwill). If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an indication of goodwill impairment exists for the reporting unit and the enterprise must perform step two of the impairment test (measurement).
	Under step two, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit's goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation. The residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, step two does not need to be performed.
	Testing for impairment is to be done at least annually and at other times if events or circumstances arise that indicate that impairment may have occurred. The Company has set its annual impairment testing date at December 31.
	In 2013 the Company recorded an impairment of goodwill in the amount of $485, see note 6A.
	The Company has concluded there has been no impairment of goodwill as a result of its testing in 2011 and 2012.
	Purchased intangible assets are carried at cost, less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets.
	K.	Revenue recognition
	The Group generates revenues from product sales, licensing and transaction fees. Revenues are also generated from non-recurring engineering, customer services and technical support.
	Revenues from product sales and non-recurring engineering are recognized when delivery has occurred provided there is persuasive evidence of an agreement, the fee is fixed or determinable, collection of the related receivable is probable and no further obligations exist. In the case of non-recurring engineering, revenue is recognized upon completion of testing and approval of the customization of the product by the customer, provided that no further obligation exists. Revenues are recognized net of value added tax.
	License and transaction fees are recognized as earned based on actual usage. Usage is determined by receiving confirmation from the users.
	Revenues relating to customer services and technical support are recognized as the services are rendered ratably over the term of the related contract.
	In arrangements that contain multiple elements, the Company implements the guidelines set forth in ASU 2009-13. Such multiple element arrangements may include providing an IT solution, selling products (such as smart cards) and rendering customer services. Accordingly, the overall arrangement fee is allocated to each element (both delivered and undelivered items) based on their relative selling prices, evidenced by vendor specific objective evidence of selling price ("VSOE") or third party evidence of selling price ("TPE"). In the absence of VSOE and TPE for one or more delivered or undelivered elements in a multiple-element arrangement, the Company is required to estimate the selling prices of those elements. Such estimated selling price has been determined using a cost plus margin approach. Since the cost for each element in such arrangements is reliably estimable, the estimated selling price was calculated by multiplying the costs by an average gross margin applicable to each element. Once the standalone selling price for each element was determined, the consideration allocated to each element was recognized as revenues upon meeting the required criteria as described above.
	In revenue arrangements that include software components, the Company implements the guidelines set forth in ASU 2009-14. Accordingly, software revenue recognition is not applied for tangible products that contain both software and non-software components that function together to deliver the tangible product's essential functionality.
	The Company has applied the guidance described above for certain arrangements which include providing IT Solution, selling products and customer services. The total arrangement consideration is allocated proportionally to the separate deliverables in the arrangement using the estimated selling price for each component. The Company recognizes revenues from sale of its IT Solution and from certain long-term contract in accordance with ASC Topic 605-35, "Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts" ("ASC 605-35").
	Pursuant to ASC 605-35, revenues from these contracts are recognized under the percentage of completion method.  The Company measures the percentage of completion based on output or input criteria, as applicable to each contract. For the reported years, the Company used in all of its projects output measures with respect to measuring the progress of completion. These measures are based on completion of milestones (i.e., contract milestones as stated in the agreement such as the delivery, installation or shipments of various deliverables) and the amount of operational sites (i.e., progress is measured as a percentage of the sites that are already operational, out of the total sites that are required to be operational under the agreement).
	Following the SmartID Division Divesture, revenues from such contracts are included in "net income (loss) from discontinued operations".
	Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made during the period in which such losses are first identified, in the amount of the estimated loss on the entire contract. As of December 31, 2013, no such estimated losses were identified.
	Revenues and costs recognized pursuant to ASC 605-35 on contracts in progress are subject to management estimates.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.
	Licensing and transaction fees are recognized based on the volume of transactions or monthly licensing fees from systems that contain the Company's products and usually bear no cost to the Company.
	The cost to the Company of warranting that the product will perform according to certain specifications and that the Company will repair or replace the product if it ceases to work properly, is insignificant and is treated according to accounting guidance for contingencies.
	L.	Research and development costs
	Research and development costs, which consist mainly of labor costs, materials and subcontractors, are charged to operations as incurred.
	M.	Stock-based compensation
	Employees
	The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors based on estimated grant date fair values. The estimated fair value of awards is charged to income on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period.
ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, requires estimating the fair value of share based payments awards on the date of the grant using an option pricing model. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
The Company elected to recognize compensation cost for awards with only service conditions that have a graded vesting schedule using the straight-line method.
Non-Employees
The Company uses an option valuation model to measure the fair value of these options at the grant date and at each subsequent reported period until the exercise date is reached. During 2013 no options were granted. During 2012 all options were granted with a par value exercise price and during 2011 most of the options were granted with a par value exercise price. Due to the par value nominal amount of NIS 0.1, the fair value of these options was estimated to be almost equal to the Company's market share price at the grant date.
N.	Basic and diluted net loss per share
Basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share is computed based on the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during each year. Shares issuable for little or no cash consideration, are considered outstanding ordinary shares and included in the computation of basic net loss per ordinary share as of the date that all necessary conditions have been satisfied.
Outstanding stock options and warrants in the amounts of 2,066,730, 2,230,730 and 2,499,475 for December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, have been excluded from the calculation of the diluted net loss per ordinary share because all such securities have an anti-dilutive effect for all periods presented.
O.	Fair value of financial instruments
The Company's financial instruments consist mainly of cash and cash equivalents, short-term interest bearing investments, accounts receivable, restricted deposits for employee benefits, accounts payable and short-term and long-term loans.
Fair value for the measurement of financial assets and liabilities is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The Company utilizes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs for fair value measurement. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows:
	·	Level 1 Inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date.
	·	Level 2 Inputs: Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
	·	Level 3 Inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at measurement date.
By distinguishing between inputs that are observable in the market place, and therefore more objective, and those that are unobservable and therefore more subjective, the hierarchy is designed to indicate the relative reliability of the fair value measurements. A financial asset or liability's classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The Company, in estimating fair value for financial instruments, used the following methods and assumptions:
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, short-term bank credit and trade payables are equivalent to, or approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.
The fair value of the investment securities is based on quoted market prices and thus is based on  level 1 inputs.
The fair value of the liability in respect of the contingent consideration included in business combinations (see note 1B(2)) is based on discounted future expected sales and thus is based on level 3 inputs. The liability was determined to be insignificant.
The carrying amounts of variable interest rate long-term loans are equivalent or approximate to their fair value as they bear interest at approximate market rates. At December 31, 2013, fair value of bank loans with fixed interest rates did not differ materially from the carrying amount.
P.	Income tax
The Company accounts for taxes on income in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company provides a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.
The Company applies the guidelines of ASC Subtopic 740-10 regarding uncertainty in income taxes (previously known as "FIN 48"), which clarify the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements ("ASC 740-10"). ASC 740-10 prescribes a minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. ASC 740-10 also provides guidance on derecognition of tax positions, classification on the balance sheet, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. ASC 740-10 requires significant judgment in determining what constitutes an individual tax position as well as assessing the outcome of each tax position.
The Company accounts for interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.
Q.	Non-controlling Interest
The Company implements ASC Topic 810- Consolidation, which requires net loss attributable to non-controlling interests to be classified in the consolidated statements of operations as part of consolidated net earnings ( $103, $168 and $168,  for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively) and to include the accumulated amount of non-controlling interests in the consolidated balance sheets as part of equity ($545 and $459 at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively). If a change in ownership of a consolidated subsidiary results in loss of control and deconsolidation, any retained ownership interests are remeasured with the gain or loss reported in net earnings.
R.	Severance pay
The Company's liability for severance pay for some of its Israeli employees is calculated pursuant to Israeli severance pay law based on the most recent salary of the employee multiplied by the number of years of employment, as of the balance sheet date. Those employees are entitled to one month's salary for each year of employment or a portion thereof. Certain senior executives were entitled to receive additional severance pay. During 2013 the employment of most of such senior executives was terminated and related severance pay liability was settled.
The Company records the liability as if it were payable at each balance sheet date on an undiscounted basis. The liability is classified based on the expected date of settlement, and therefore is usually classified as a long-term liability, unless the termination of the employees is expected during the upcoming year.
The Company's liability for those Israeli employees is partially provided for by monthly deposits for insurance policies and the remainder by an accrual. The value of these policies is recorded as an asset in the Company's balance sheet.
The deposited funds include profits and losses accumulated up to the balance sheet date. The deposited funds may be withdrawn only upon the fulfillment of the obligation pursuant to Israeli Severance Pay Law or labor agreements. The value of the deposited funds is based on the cash redemption value of these policies. In addition, during 2012 the Company deposited certain amounts with a trustee, to compensate for any severance pay liability that is not covered by other funds. These deposits are restricted and may be withdrawn only for payment of severance pay liabilities. The severance pay funds and the restricted deposits for employee benefits are classified based on the classification of the corresponding liability.
In respect of other Israeli employees, the Company obtained approval from the Israeli Ministry of Labor and Welfare, pursuant to the terms of Section 14 of the Israeli Severance Pay Law, 1963, according to which the current deposits in the pension fund and/or with the insurance company exempt the Company from any additional obligation to these employees for whom the said depository payments are made. These deposits are accounted as defined contribution payments.
Severance pay expenses for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 amounted to approximately $609, $1,630 and $1,189, respectively. Defined contribution plan expenses were $415, $412 and $445 in the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
S.	Advertising expenses
Advertising expenses are charged to the statements of operations as incurred. Advertising expenses for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 amounted to approximately 1,503$, $1,550 and $1,487, respectively.
T.	Concentrations of credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash equivalents, bank deposits, U.S and Israeli treasury securities, corporate bonds and trade receivables.
Cash equivalents are invested mainly in U.S. dollars with major banks in Israel and Europe. Management believes that the financial institutions that hold the Group's investments are financially sound and, accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to these investments.
Most of the Company's trade receivables are derived from sales to large and financially secure organizations. In determining the adequacy of the allowance, management bases its opinion, inter alia, on the estimated risks, current market conditions, in reliance on available information with respect to the debtor's financial position.  As for major customers, see Note 17.
The activity in the allowance for doubtful accounts for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 is as follows:
		2013			2012			2011
Allowance for doubtful accounts at beginning of year		$	431		$	233		$	2,832
Additions charged to allowance for doubtful accounts			220			319			90
Write-downs charged against the allowance			(41	)		(127	)		(2,688	)
Currency translation differences			-			6			(1	)
Allowance for doubtful accounts at end of year		$	610		$	431		$	233
U.	Commitments and contingencies
Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigations, fines and penalties and other sources are recognized when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated.
V.	Business divestures
As described in Note 1B, the Company has sold certain operations during 2013. Upon reaching a definitive agreement with an acquirer, the Company recognizes the consideration received from the divesture, less all assets and liabilities sold, as a gain or loss.
Discontinued operations
Upon divesture of a business, the Company classifies such business as a discontinued operation, if the divested business meets the following criteria:
	(i)	The business qualifies as a component of an entity, as it comprises operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes, from the rest of the Company.
	(ii)	Both of the following conditions are met or expected to be met within one year:
	1)	The operations and cash flows of the business have been or will be eliminated from the ongoing operations of the entity in the disposal transaction;
	2)	The Company will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the component after the disposal transaction. The eligibility to receive contingent consideration from future sales of the divested business does not necessarily indicate that there is continuing involvement in the operations of the business.
For disposals other than by sale such as abandonment, the results of operations of a business would not be recorded as a discontinued operation until the period in which the business is actually abandoned.
The Company has concluded that at December 31, 2013, the SmartID Division Divesture and the German Subsidiary Divesture qualify as discontinued operations and therefore have been presented as such. The sale of PARX France (see note 1B(2)) does not qualify as a discontinued operation as the Company has significant involvement after the disposal transaction.
Assets and liabilities of discontinued operations that have not yet been actually sold are presented on the balance sheet in one line item. Assets and liabilities of such discontinued operations are not offset and are presented as such only for the current year balance sheet.
The results of businesses that have qualified at December 31, 2013 as discontinued operations have been presented as such for all reporting periods. Results of discontinued operations include all revenues and expenses directly derived from such businesses; general corporate overhead is not allocated to discontinued operations.
Any loss or gain that arose from the divesture of a business that qualifies as discontinued operations has been included within the results of the discontinued operations.
The Company also presents cash flows from discontinued operations separately from cash flows of continuing operations.
Contingent consideration
The Company's sale arrangements consist of contingent consideration based on the divested businesses future sales or profits. The Company records the contingent consideration portion of the arrangement when the consideration is determined to be realizable.
W.	Recent accounting pronouncements
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.  ASU 2013-02 requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component.  In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period.  For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts.  ASU 2013-02 does not change the requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements.  The new standard is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013.  The Company will implement the provisions of ASU 2013-02 as of January 1, 2014. The implementation is not expected to have a material effect on the Company consolidated financial statements.
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists.  ASU 2013-11 requires an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, to be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward.  ASU 2013-11 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014.  The new standard is to be applied prospectively but retrospective application is permitted.  The Company will implement the provisions of ASU 2013-11 as of January 1, 2015, and the implementation is not expected to have a material effect on the Company consolidated financial statements.

		As of December 31, 2013 no investment securities were held by the Company.
		The carrying amount, gross unrealized holding gains and losses, and fair value of available-for-sale debt securities by major security type and class of security at December 31, 2012 were as follows:
					Gross		Gross
					unrealized		unrealized
			Aggregate		holding		holding			Aggregate

	Corporate bonds			308		23		(-	)		331
				977		45		(9	)		1,013
	The Company concluded that the securities in unrealized loss position held at December 31, 2012 were not considered other-than-temporarily impaired, since it believed it is more-likely-than-not that it would not be required to sell the investment before recovery of its amortized cost basis. The Company had not identified securities for which it did not expect to receive future cash flows sufficient to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security.
	During 2013, the Company received proceeds of $1,123 upon sale of investment securities, net of realized gains of $17 recorded in finance income.
	During 2012, the Company received proceeds of $6,518 upon sale of investment securities, net of realized gains of $134 recorded in finance income.

Commitments And Contingencies	'
	Note 10 - Commitments and Contingencies
	A.	Commitments and Contingencies:
		1	The Company and its Israeli subsidiary, EasyPark, have entered into several research and development agreements, pursuant to which the Company and EasyPark received grants from the Government of Israel, and are therefore obligated to pay royalties to the Government of Israel at a rate of 3.5% of its sales up to the amounts granted (linked to the U.S. dollar with annual interest at LIBOR as of the date of approval, for programs approved from January 1, 1999 and thereafter).  The total amount of grants received until December 31, 2013, net of royalties paid, was approximately $3,790 (including accrued interest). No grants from the Government of Israel were received during the three-year period ended December 31, 2013.
	Royalties paid or accrued amounted to $325, $375 and $512 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and were charged to cost of revenues.
		2	The Company entered into a long term supply agreement with SMARTRAC under which SMARTRAC became the Company's exclusive supplier for wire-embedded and dual  Interface inlays, according to its needs, and its supplier for other products at defined terms and prices.
		3	On March 16, 2012, the Company's shareholders approved the extension of the Company's employment agreement with Mr. Oded Bashan, the Company's former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, until December 31, 2015. Mr. Oded Bashan's agreement shall be automatically extended or terminated by either party upon a six months' notice, where if either party terminates the employment prior to December 31, 2015, the Company shall be obligated to continue paying Mr. Oded Bashan contract benefits for the full term of the agreement. On December 23, 2012 Mr. Oded Bashan notified the Company of his impending resignation. Mr. Oded Bashan is no longer providing essential services to the Company. Consequently, the Company recorded in its 2012 statement of operations a provision based on the employment agreement in the amount of $2,272.
	The employment agreement with Mr. Ohad Bashan, the Company's former President,  was amended by the Company's  board of directors on May 24, 2012 and was extended until December 31, 2016. Mr. Ohad Bashan's agreement shall be automatically extended or terminated by either party upon a six months' notice, where if either party terminates the employment prior to December 31, 2016, the Company shall be obligated to continue paying Mr. Ohad Bashan contract benefits for the full term of the agreement. On December 23, 2012 Mr. Ohad Bashan notified the Company of his impending resignation. Mr. Ohad Bashan is no longer providing services to the Company. Consequently, the Company recorded in its 2012 statement of operations a provision based on the employment agreement in the amount of $2,447.
	The above amounts were in addition to $2,854 net severance pay provisions the Company had recorded over the employment years through December 31, 2012.
	On July 12, 2013 the Company signed settlement agreement with Messrs. Oded Bashan and Ohad Bashan with respect to their termination of employment with the Company and its subsidiaries. Based on the agreements, besides the release of existing severance payments funds, the Company paid to Messrs. Oded Bashan and Ohad Bashan approximately $2,500 for the employment term and the termination thereof. These amounts were paid out of funds that were deposited in an escrow account already recorded as short term restricted deposit for employees' benefits in the Company's financial statements for the year 2012. The agreements further provide a mutual release from all claims between the Company and Messrs. Oded Bashan and Ohad Bashan in connection with their employment with the Company, termination thereof, and any position they held with the Company. Consequently to the execution of the agreements mentioned above, the Company recorded income of $4,503 in its statement of operations, among "other operating income, net".
	B.	Leases
	The Group operates from leased facilities in the United States, Israel, Poland and South Africa, leased for periods expiring in years 2014 through 2018.
	Minimum future rentals of premises under non-cancelable operating lease agreements at rates in effect as of December 31, 2013 are as follows:

	C.	Liens
	The Company and certain subsidiaries have recorded floating charges on all of its tangible assets in favor of banks.
	The Company's and certain subsidiaries' manufacturing facilities and certain equipment have been pledged as security in respect of a loan received from a bank.
	The Company's short term deposits in the amount of $2,381 have been pledged as security in respect of guarantees granted to third parties, loans and credit lines received from a bank. Such deposits cannot be pledged to others or withdrawn without the consent of the bank.
	D.	Guarantees
	As of December 31, 2013, the Company granted guarantees to third parties including performance guarantees and guarantees to secure customer advances in the sum of $1,497.
	The expiration dates of the guarantees range from February 2014 to May 2016.
	E.	Legal claims
	On January 27, 2013, a former employee of the Company (in this paragraph, the "Plaintiff"), filed a law suit against the Company in the District Labor Court in Tel Aviv (the "Court") in the amount of NIS 1,400 (approximately $375). The plaintiff alleges that the Company breached the employment agreement with him, and that the Company owes him commission payment for certain sales. On March 2, 2014, subsequent balance sheet date, the parties filed a settlement agreement to the Court according to which the parties release each other from their respective claims and counter claims, which was approved by the Court on March 4, 2014.
	On October 3, 2013 the Company received from the Commercial Court of Paris, France (in this paragraph, the "Court") notification that a French company named SMJ PARK'IN SARL (in this paragraph the "Plaintiff") submitted on June 2013 a monetary claim against the Company and its French subsidiary, Parx France (in this paragraph the "Defendants"), alleging, among others, the Defendants entered on mid 2008 into an agreement with the Plaintiff granting it the exclusive marketing rights to distribute and operate the Defendants PIAF Parking System in Paris and ILE the France, and that the Defendants fail to fulfill its undertakings under such alleged agreement, by marketing its products by themselves or others causing the Plaintiff losses that it requires compensation for in its lawsuit. The total claim amount made by Plaintiff under this action is approximately €1.5 Million (approximately $2 million). The Company rejects all Plaintiffs allegations and claims, including, the alleged agreement and the then exclusive right of the Plaintiff to distribute Company's products, which were only in the relevant time on negotiation. Following a preliminary hearing held by the Court on December 2013, the Defendants are expected to submit its detailed defense to the Court by end of April 2014. Based on the advice of counsel, management believes that the Company had no material obligation to the Plaintiff. Accordingly, no provision has been made in the Company's financial statements for the claim.

	Note 11 - Equity
	A.	Share capital
		1	On January 12, 2009, the Company's Board of Directors approved the adoption of a Shareholders Rights Plan, as amended on January 11, 2012 and on January 9,  2014. Pursuant to the terms of the Plan, each Ordinary Share of the Company shall give its holder one Right, as detailed thereto. Each such Right will become exercisable only after a person or a "Group" become an "Acquiring Person", by obtaining beneficial ownership of, or by commencing a tender or exchange offer for, 15% or more of the Company's Ordinary Shares (the Board of Directors may reduce this percentage, but to not less than 10%), unless our Board of Directors approves such "Acquiring Person" or redeems the rights. Each Right, once it becomes exercisable, will generally entitle its holder, other than the "Acquiring Person", to purchase from the Company either 0.4, half (1/2), one, two or three Ordinary Shares, as shall be determined by the Board of Directors,  at par value.
		2	On February 8, 2011 the Company closed a firm commitment underwritten public offering of 6,000,000 ordinary shares, including shares issued pursuant to the underwriters over-allotment option, at a public offering price of $3.00 per share. The proceeds to the Company, net of issuance costs, were approximately $16,619.
		3	As to shares issued as part of business combinations, see Note 1B.
	B.	Options to non-employees
	The Company issued options to non-employees as follows:
		1	In 2012, the Company issued 130,500 par value options and shares to non-employees with respect to services rendered.  The aggregate fair value of the options was $181, based on the share market price as of day of grant.
		2	In 2011, the Company issued 622,000 par value options and shares to non-employees with respect to services rendered.  The aggregate fair value of the options was $1,167, based on the share market price as of day of grant.
	The fair value of each option granted to non employees during 2011 for which the exercise price was greater than par value (see note 2M), was estimated on the date of grant, using the Black-Scholes model using the following assumptions:
		1	Dividend yield of zero percent.
		2	Risk-free interest rate of 1.01%.
		3	Estimated expected lives of 2.5-5 years.
		4	Expected average volatility of 77% which represent a weighted average standard deviation rate for the price of the Company's Ordinary Shares in the NASDAQ Global Market.
	C.	Stock option plans
		In February 2001, the Company's Board of Directors approved an additional option plan, under which up to 75,000 share options are to be granted to the Company's employees, directors and consultants and those of the Company's subsidiaries and affiliates.
	During the years 2002 to 2010, the Company's Board of Directors approved an increase of 12,125,000 shares options to be reserved under the Company's share option plan.
	On November 30, 2011, the Company's Board of Directors approved a further increase of 1,000,000 options to be reserved under the Company's share option plan.
	On October 22, 2013, the Company's Board of Directors approved a further increase of 2,500,000 options to be reserved under the Company's share option plan.
	The vesting period for the options ranges from immediate vesting to ratable vesting over a four- year period.  The exercise price of options under the plan is at varying prices. Those options expire up to five years after the date of the grant. Any options which are forfeited or cancelled before expiration become available for future grants.
	During 2011 and 2012 some of the options were granted with a par value exercise price. Due to the par value nominal amount of NIS 0.1, the fair value of these options was estimated to be equal to the Company's share's market price at the grant date.
	The fair value of each option granted to employees during 2013, 2012 and 2011, for which the exercise price was greater than par value, was estimated on the date of grant, using the Black-Scholes model and the following assumptions:
		1	Dividend yield of zero percent for all periods.
		2	Risk-free interest rate of 0.57%-1.02%, 0.76% and 1.01% for, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, based on U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.
		3	Estimated expected lives of 2.5-5 years for all periods.
		4	Expected average volatility of 59%-70%, 73% and 77% for 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, which represent a weighted average standard deviation rate for the price of the Company's Ordinary Shares in the NASDAQ Global Market.
	The Company's options activity (including options to non-employees) and options outstanding and options exercisable as of December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013 are summarized in the following table:

Income Taxes	'
	Note 13 - Income Taxes
	A.	The Company and its Israeli subsidiaries
		1	Measurement of taxable income under the Income Tax (Inflationary Adjustments) Law, 1985
	The Company and one of its Israeli subsidiaries are foreign invested companies, and have elected, commencing January 1, 2007, to maintain their books and records in U.S dollars for tax purposes, as permitted under the tax regulations.
		2	Tax benefits under the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959
	The Company maintains three investment programs in buildings, equipment and production facilities, which have been granted the status of "Approved Enterprise" under the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959. The Company elected to adopt the "Alternative Benefits Program" status. This status entitles the Company (due to its location in Israel) to an exemption from taxes on income derived therefrom for a period of 10 years starting in the year in which the Company first generates taxable income, but not later than 14 years from the date of approval (the last of which was received in February 2000) or 12 years from commencement of operations. The tax-exempt profits that are earned by the Company's "Approved Enterprises" can be distributed to shareholders, without additional tax liability on the Company only upon its complete liquidation.
	If these retained tax-exempt profits are distributed in a manner other than in the complete liquidation of the Company, they would be taxed at the regular corporate tax rate applicable to such profits as if the Company had not elected the alternative system of benefits (depending on the level of foreign investment in the Company) currently between 10% to 25% for an "Approved Enterprise". As the Company has not yet reported any taxable income, the benefit period has not yet commenced as of December 31, 2013.
	Income from sources other than the "Approved Enterprise" during the benefit period will be subject to tax at the regular corporate tax rate (see 4 below).
	The entitlement to the above mentioned benefits is conditional upon the Company's fulfilling the conditions stipulated by the above mentioned law, regulations published there under and the certificates of approval for the specific investments in the Approved Enterprises. In the event of failure to comply with these conditions, the benefits may be canceled and the Company may be required to refund the amount of the benefits, in whole or in part, with the addition of linkage differences to the consumer price index and interest. Management believes that the Company is in compliance with the above-mentioned conditions as of December 31, 2013.
	Amendment to the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments - 1959
	On December 29, 2010 an amendment to the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments - 1959 was approved (hereinafter - "the Amendment to the Law"). The Amendment to the Law was published in the Official Gazette on January 6, 2011. The Amendment to the Law is effective from January 1, 2011 and its provisions will apply to preferred income derived or accrued in 2011 and thereafter by a preferred company, per the definition of these terms in the Amendment to the Law. Companies can choose to not be included in the scope of the Amendment to the Law and to stay in the scope of the law before its amendment until the end of the benefits period. The 2012 tax year is the last year companies can choose as the year of election, providing that the minimum qualifying investment began in 2010.
	The Amendment provides that only companies in Development Area A will be entitled to the grants track and that they will be entitled to receive benefits under this track and under the tax benefits track at the same time. In addition, the existing tax benefit tracks were eliminated (the tax exempt track, the "Ireland track" and the "Strategic" track) and two new tax tracks were introduced in their place, a preferred enterprise and a special preferred enterprise, which mainly provide a uniform and reduced tax rate for all the company's income entitled to benefits, such as: for a preferred enterprise - in the 2012-2013 tax years - a tax rate of 10% for Development Area A and of 15% for the rest of the country, in the 2013-2014 tax years - a tax rate of 7% for Development Area A and of 12.5% for the rest of the country, and as from the 2015 tax year - 6% for Development Area A and 12% for the rest of the country. On August 5, 2013 the Knesset passed the Law for Changes in National Priorities (Legislative Amendments for Achieving Budget Objectives in the Years 2013 and 2014) - 2013, which cancelled the planned tax reduction so that as from the 2014 tax year the tax rate on preferred income will be 9% for Development Area A and 16% for the rest of the country. Furthermore, an enterprise that meets the definition of a special preferred enterprise is entitled to benefits for a period of 10 consecutive years and a reduced tax rate of 5% if it is located in Development Area A or of 8% if it is located in a different area.
	The Amendment to the Law also provides that no tax will apply to a dividend distributed out of preferred income to a shareholder that is a company, for both the distributing company and the shareholder. A tax rate of 15% shall continue to apply to a dividend distributed out of preferred income to an individual shareholder or foreign resident, subject to double taxation prevention treaties, similar to the provisions of the existing law. The Law for Changes in National Priorities (Legislative Amendments for Achieving Budget Objectives in the Years 2013 and 2014) - 2013 raised to 20% the tax rate on a dividend distributed to an individual and foreign resident out of preferred income as from January 1, 2014. Furthermore, the Amendment to the Law provides relief (hereinafter - "the relief") with respect to tax paid on a dividend received by an Israeli company from profits of an approved/alternative/beneficiary enterprise that accrued in the benefits period according to the version of the law before its amendment, if the company distributing the dividend notifies the tax authorities by June 30, 2015 that it is applying the provisions of the Amendment to the Law and the dividend is distributed after the date of the notice.
		3	The Law for the Encouragement of Industry (taxes), 1969
	The Company believes that it qualifies as an "Industrial Company" under the Law for the Encouragement of Industry. The principal tax benefits for the Company are the deductibility of costs in connection with public offerings and amortization of certain intangibles.
		4	Tax rates
	Presented hereunder are the tax rates relevant to the Company in the years 2011-2013:
	2013 - 25%
	2012 - 25%
	2011 - 24%
	On August 5, 2013 the Knesset passed the Law for Changes in National Priorities (Legislative Amendments for Achieving Budget Objectives in the Years 2013 and 2014) - 2013, by which, inter alia, the corporate tax rate would be raised by 1.5% to a rate of 26.5% as from 2014.
	The deferred tax balances as at December 31, 2013 were calculated according to the new tax rates specified in the Law for Changes in National Priorities, at the tax rate expected to apply on the date of reversal. The effect of the change on the financial statements as at December 31, 2013 is reflected in an increase in the deferred tax asset in the amount of $ 2,394 against a similar change in the Company's valuation allowance.
	Current taxes for the reported periods are calculated according to the tax rates presented above.
	B.	Non-Israeli subsidiaries are taxed based on the income tax laws in their country of residence.
	C.	Deferred income taxes:
			31-Dec			31-Dec
			2013			2012
	Deferred tax assets:
	Net operating loss carryforwards		$	40,181		$	36,841

	Other			(292	)		(-	)
	Intangible assets			(-	)		(53	)

	The net change in the total valuation allowance for each of the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, are comprised as follows:
			Year ended December 31
			2013			2012			2011
	Balance at beginning of year			42,002			37,643			27,311
	Additions during the year from			1,654			4,155			1,445

	Other changes			43			23			(46	)
	Balance at end of year			42,691			42,002			37,643
	In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends on the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences are deductible. Based on the level of historical taxable losses, management believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefits of these deductible differences.
	D.	As of December 31, 2013, the net operating loss carryforwards for tax purposes relating to Israeli companies amounted to approximately $144,638. Tax loss carryforwards in Israel may be carried forward indefinitely to offset against future taxable operational income. Under the Income Tax (Inflationary Adjustments) Law, 1985, and based on the Company's election (see note13A), tax loss carryforwards are linked to the USD.  Tax loss carryforwards relating to non-Israeli companies aggregate approximately $5,093, which will expire as follows: 2025 - $841, 2026 - $3,206 and 2027- $533. The remaining balance of $513 can be utilized with no expiration date.
	E.	The Company has not recognized a deferred tax liability for the undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries that arose in 2013 and prior years, because the Company considers these earnings to be indefinitely reinvested. A deferred tax liability will be recognized when the Company can no longer demonstrate that it plans to indefinitely reinvest these undistributed earnings. As of December 31, 2013, the undistributed earnings of these foreign subsidiaries were approximately $5,098. It is impracticable to determine the additional taxes payable when these earnings are remitted.
	F.	No current or net deferred taxes were recorded in Israel. Non-Israeli income tax expenses included in the consolidated statements of operations are as follows:
			Year ended December 31
			2013			2012			2011
	Current		$	(265	)	$	(2	)	$	(4	)
	Deferred			62			(65	)		(79	)
	Income tax expenses		$	(203	)	$	(67	)	$	(83	)
	Income tax expenses for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, differed from the amounts computed by applying the Israeli statutory tax rates of 25%, 25% and 24% to loss from continuing operations before taxes on income, as a result of the following:
			Year ended December 31
			2013			2012			2011
	Computed "expected" income tax benefit		$	1,681		$	4,366		$	1,929

Other (mainly foreign jurisdiction tax effect)			(96	)		(55	)		(267	)
Total income tax expenses		$	(203	)	$	(67	)	$	(83	)
G.	Income (loss) from continuing operations before taxes on income consists of the following:
		Year ended December 31
		2013			2012			2011
Israel		$	(8,842	)	$	(16,983	)	$	(7,533	)
Non-Israel			2,117			(825	)		(762	)
		$	(6,725	)	$	(17,808	)	$	(8,295	)
H.	Accounting for uncertainty in income taxes
As of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits. In addition, the Company does not expect that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly within the next twelve months.
For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, no interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits have been accrued.
The Company and its major subsidiaries file income tax returns in Israel, Poland and Germany. With few exceptions, the income tax returns of the Company and its major subsidiaries are open to examination by the Israeli and the respective foreign tax authorities for the tax years beginning in 2008.

Operating Segments	'
	Note 16 - Operating segments
	Through 2012, the Company had commingled sales channel payroll expense, inventories, merchandise procurement and distribution networks. As a result of these operations and in view of how the Company's chief operating decision maker (CODM) reviewed operating results for the purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance, the Company operated as a single segment. Beginning 2013, following the change of the board of directors and the review of all of the Company's operations in order to improve profitability, the new CODM has changed the way it reviews operating results for the purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance, and currently reports three segments which are the Group's strategic business units: Retail and Mass transit, Petroleum and Parking.
	All prior periods' information has been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation
	The following summary describes the operations in each of the Group's operating segments:
	-	Petroleum - includes manufacturing and selling of fuel payment and management solutions. The Company's solution  is a wireless, cashless, cardless and paperless refueling tracking and payment solution, providing customers with maximum flexibility and security.
	-	Retail and Mass transit - includes selling and marketing variety of products for cashless payment solutions for the retail market and mass transit ticketing.
	·	Parking - includes selling of products and managing cashless parking solutions. The Company's parking solution is a fully integrated parking fee collection and parking management solution.
	In addition to its three reportable segments, certain products for the medical industry and other secure smart card solutions are classified under "Other".
	The strategic business unit's allocation of resources and evaluation of performance are managed separately. The CODM does not examine assets or liabilities for those segments and therefore they are not presented.
	Information regarding the results of each reportable segment is included below based on the internal management reports that are reviewed by the CODM.

Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended

Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Financial Statements in U.S. Dollars	'
	Financial statements in U.S. dollars
	Substantially all of the Company's and certain of its subsidiaries' revenues are in U.S. dollars. A significant portion of purchases of materials and components and most marketing costs are denominated in U.S. dollars. Therefore, both the functional and reporting currencies of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries are the U.S. dollar.
	Transactions and balances denominated in U.S. dollars are presented at their original amounts.
	For entities with a U.S. dollar functional currency, transactions and balances in other currencies are remeasured into U.S. dollars in accordance with the principles set forth in ASC Topic 830, Foreign Currency Matters, i.e. at the date the transaction is recognized, each asset, liability, or instance of revenue, expense, gain, or loss arising from the transaction is measured and recorded in the functional currency by use of the exchange rate in effect at that date. When translation using the exchange rates at the dates that the numerous revenues, expenses, gains, and losses are recognized is impractical, an appropriately weighted average exchange rate for the period is used to translate those elements. At each balance sheet date, recorded balances of monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are adjusted to reflect the current exchange rate. Exchange gains and losses from the remeasurement of such items denominated in non U.S. dollar currencies are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations, in 'financial expenses, net', as appropriate.
	The functional currencies of the remaining subsidiaries are their local currencies. The financial statements of those companies are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate at the balance sheet date for assets and liabilities, and weighted average exchange rates for revenues and expenses (which approximates the translation of each transaction). Translation adjustments resulting from the process of the aforesaid translation are included as a separate component of equity (accumulated other comprehensive gain or loss).
Principles of Consolidation	'
	Principles of consolidation
	The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and its majority owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Estimates and Assumptions	'
	Estimates and assumptions
	The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management of the Company to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. Such estimates include the valuation of useful lives of long-lived assets, revenue recognition, valuation of accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of inventories and investments, legal contingencies, the assumptions used in the calculation of share based compensation, income taxes and other contingencies. Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed by management and the effects of any material revisions are reflected in the period that they are determined to be necessary. Actual results, however, may vary from these estimates.
Cash Equivalents	'
	Cash equivalents
	Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments and debt instruments that are readily convertible to cash with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase.
Short-term Investments	'
	Short-term investments
	The Company accounts for investments in U.S and Israeli treasury securities and in corporate bonds in accordance with ASC Topic 320, Investments - Debt and Equity Securities.
	Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments in debt securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such determinations at each balance sheet date. At December 31, 2012 the Company's investments were classified as available-for-sale and are stated at market value. As of December 31, 2013, the Group does not hold any debt securities.
	Unrealized gains and losses, are reported as a separate component of equity (accumulated other comprehensive gain or loss) until realized. Interest income is recognized when earned and included in the consolidated statement of operations in financial income. Realized gains and losses, as well as premium or discount amortization, are included in financial income or expenses.
Trade Receivables	'
	Trade receivables
	Trade receivables are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Collection of trade receivables are included in net cash provided by operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The consolidated financial statements include an allowance for loss from receivables for which collection is in doubt.  In determining the adequacy of the allowance consideration is given to each trade receivable historical experience, aging of the receivable, adjusted to take into account current market conditions and information available about specific debtors, including their financial condition, the amount of receivables in dispute, current payment patterns, the volume of their operations, and evaluation of the security received from them or their guarantors.
Inventories	'
	Inventories
	Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined by calculating raw materials, work in process and finished products on a "moving average" basis. Inventory write-offs are provided to cover risks arising from slow moving items or technological obsolescence. Such write-offs, which were not material for the reported years, have been included in cost of revenues.
	The Company applies ASC Topic 330, Inventory which clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage) requiring that those items be recognized as current-period charges. In addition, the above topic requires that allocation of fixed production overhead costs be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Net	'
	Property, plant and equipment, net
	Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
			Years
	Leasehold land (over the terms of the lease, see note 7A(1))		49
	Buildings		25
	Computers, software and manufacturing equipment		5-Mar
	Office furniture and equipment		16-May
			(mainly - 10)
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets	'
	Impairment of long-lived assets
	Long-lived assets, such as property, plant, and equipment, and purchased intangible assets subject to amortization, are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If circumstances require a long-lived asset to be tested for possible impairment, the Company first compares undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by an asset to the carrying value of the asset. If the carrying value of the long-lived asset is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary.
	In 2013 the Company recorded an impairment of intangible assets in the amount of $328 (see Note 6B).
	No impairment losses were recorded in 2011 and 2012.
Goodwill and Purchased Intangible Assets	'
	Goodwill and purchased intangible assets
	Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in a purchase businesses combination. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment at least annually, as of December every year.
	In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment, which provides an entity the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount prior to performing the two-step goodwill impairment test. If this is the case, the two-step goodwill impairment test is required. If it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, the two-step goodwill impairment test is not required. The Company adopted this guidance in 2012.
	If the two-step goodwill impairment test is required, first, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared with its carrying value (including goodwill). If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an indication of goodwill impairment exists for the reporting unit and the enterprise must perform step two of the impairment test (measurement).
	Under step two, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit's goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation. The residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, step two does not need to be performed.
	Testing for impairment is to be done at least annually and at other times if events or circumstances arise that indicate that impairment may have occurred. The Company has set its annual impairment testing date at December 31.
	In 2013 the Company recorded an impairment of goodwill in the amount of $485, see note 6A.
	The Company has concluded there has been no impairment of goodwill as a result of its testing in 2011 and 2012.
	Purchased intangible assets are carried at cost, less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets.
Revenue Recognition	'
		Revenue recognition
	The Group generates revenues from product sales, licensing and transaction fees. Revenues are also generated from non-recurring engineering, customer services and technical support.
	Revenues from product sales and non-recurring engineering are recognized when delivery has occurred provided there is persuasive evidence of an agreement, the fee is fixed or determinable, collection of the related receivable is probable and no further obligations exist. In the case of non-recurring engineering, revenue is recognized upon completion of testing and approval of the customization of the product by the customer, provided that no further obligation exists. Revenues are recognized net of value added tax.
	License and transaction fees are recognized as earned based on actual usage. Usage is determined by receiving confirmation from the users.
	Revenues relating to customer services and technical support are recognized as the services are rendered ratably over the term of the related contract.
	In arrangements that contain multiple elements, the Company implements the guidelines set forth in ASU 2009-13. Such multiple element arrangements may include providing an IT solution, selling products (such as smart cards) and rendering customer services. Accordingly, the overall arrangement fee is allocated to each element (both delivered and undelivered items) based on their relative selling prices, evidenced by vendor specific objective evidence of selling price ("VSOE") or third party evidence of selling price ("TPE"). In the absence of VSOE and TPE for one or more delivered or undelivered elements in a multiple-element arrangement, the Company is required to estimate the selling prices of those elements. Such estimated selling price has been determined using a cost plus margin approach. Since the cost for each element in such arrangements is reliably estimable, the estimated selling price was calculated by multiplying the costs by an average gross margin applicable to each element. Once the standalone selling price for each element was determined, the consideration allocated to each element was recognized as revenues upon meeting the required criteria as described above.
	In revenue arrangements that include software components, the Company implements the guidelines set forth in ASU 2009-14. Accordingly, software revenue recognition is not applied for tangible products that contain both software and non-software components that function together to deliver the tangible product's essential functionality.
	The Company has applied the guidance described above for certain arrangements which include providing IT Solution, selling products and customer services. The total arrangement consideration is allocated proportionally to the separate deliverables in the arrangement using the estimated selling price for each component. The Company recognizes revenues from sale of its IT Solution and from certain long-term contract in accordance with ASC Topic 605-35, "Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts" ("ASC 605-35").
	Pursuant to ASC 605-35, revenues from these contracts are recognized under the percentage of completion method.  The Company measures the percentage of completion based on output or input criteria, as applicable to each contract. For the reported years, the Company used in all of its projects output measures with respect to measuring the progress of completion. These measures are based on completion of milestones (i.e., contract milestones as stated in the agreement such as the delivery, installation or shipments of various deliverables) and the amount of operational sites (i.e., progress is measured as a percentage of the sites that are already operational, out of the total sites that are required to be operational under the agreement).
	Following the SmartID Division Divesture, revenues from such contracts are included in "net income (loss) from discontinued operations".
	Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made during the period in which such losses are first identified, in the amount of the estimated loss on the entire contract. As of December 31, 2013, no such estimated losses were identified.
	Revenues and costs recognized pursuant to ASC 605-35 on contracts in progress are subject to management estimates.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.
	Licensing and transaction fees are recognized based on the volume of transactions or monthly licensing fees from systems that contain the Company's products and usually bear no cost to the Company.
	The cost to the Company of warranting that the product will perform according to certain specifications and that the Company will repair or replace the product if it ceases to work properly, is insignificant and is treated according to accounting guidance for contingencies.
Research and Development Costs	'
	Research and development costs
	Research and development costs, which consist mainly of labor costs, materials and subcontractors, are charged to operations as incurred.
Stock-based Compensation	'
	Stock-based compensation
	Employees
	The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors based on estimated grant date fair values. The estimated fair value of awards is charged to income on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period.
	ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, requires estimating the fair value of share based payments awards on the date of the grant using an option pricing model. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
	The Company elected to recognize compensation cost for awards with only service conditions that have a graded vesting schedule using the straight-line method.
	Non-Employees
	The Company uses an option valuation model to measure the fair value of these options at the grant date and at each subsequent reported period until the exercise date is reached. During 2013 no options were granted. During 2012 all options were granted with a par value exercise price and during 2011 most of the options were granted with a par value exercise price. Due to the par value nominal amount of NIS 0.1, the fair value of these options was estimated to be almost equal to the Company's market share price at the grant date.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share	'
	Basic and diluted net loss per share
	Basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share is computed based on the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during each year. Shares issuable for little or no cash consideration, are considered outstanding ordinary shares and included in the computation of basic net loss per ordinary share as of the date that all necessary conditions have been satisfied.
	Outstanding stock options and warrants in the amounts of 2,066,730, 2,230,730 and 2,499,475 for December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, have been excluded from the calculation of the diluted net loss per ordinary share because all such securities have an anti-dilutive effect for all periods presented.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	'
		Fair value of financial instruments
	The Company's financial instruments consist mainly of cash and cash equivalents, short-term interest bearing investments, accounts receivable, restricted deposits for employee benefits, accounts payable and short-term and long-term loans.
	Fair value for the measurement of financial assets and liabilities is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The Company utilizes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs for fair value measurement. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows:
		·	Level 1 Inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date.
		·	Level 2 Inputs: Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
		·	Level 3 Inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at measurement date.
	By distinguishing between inputs that are observable in the market place, and therefore more objective, and those that are unobservable and therefore more subjective, the hierarchy is designed to indicate the relative reliability of the fair value measurements. A financial asset or liability's classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
	The Company, in estimating fair value for financial instruments, used the following methods and assumptions:
	The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, short-term bank credit and trade payables are equivalent to, or approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.
	The fair value of the investment securities is based on quoted market prices and thus is based on  level 1 inputs.
	The fair value of the liability in respect of the contingent consideration included in business combinations (see note 1B(2)) is based on discounted future expected sales and thus is based on level 3 inputs. The liability was determined to be insignificant.
	The carrying amounts of variable interest rate long-term loans are equivalent or approximate to their fair value as they bear interest at approximate market rates. At December 31, 2013, fair value of bank loans with fixed interest rates did not differ materially from the carrying amount.
Income Tax	'
	Income tax
	The Company accounts for taxes on income in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company provides a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.
	The Company applies the guidelines of ASC Subtopic 740-10 regarding uncertainty in income taxes (previously known as "FIN 48"), which clarify the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements ("ASC 740-10"). ASC 740-10 prescribes a minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. ASC 740-10 also provides guidance on derecognition of tax positions, classification on the balance sheet, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. ASC 740-10 requires significant judgment in determining what constitutes an individual tax position as well as assessing the outcome of each tax position.
	The Company accounts for interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.
Non-controlling Interest	'
	Non-controlling Interest
	The Company implements ASC Topic 810- Consolidation, which requires net loss attributable to non-controlling interests to be classified in the consolidated statements of operations as part of consolidated net earnings ( $103, $168 and $168,  for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively) and to include the accumulated amount of non-controlling interests in the consolidated balance sheets as part of equity ($545 and $459 at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively). If a change in ownership of a consolidated subsidiary results in loss of control and deconsolidation, any retained ownership interests are remeasured with the gain or loss reported in net earnings.
Severance Pay	'
	Severance pay
	The Company's liability for severance pay for some of its Israeli employees is calculated pursuant to Israeli severance pay law based on the most recent salary of the employee multiplied by the number of years of employment, as of the balance sheet date. Those employees are entitled to one month's salary for each year of employment or a portion thereof. Certain senior executives were entitled to receive additional severance pay. During 2013 the employment of most of such senior executives was terminated and related severance pay liability was settled.
	The Company records the liability as if it were payable at each balance sheet date on an undiscounted basis. The liability is classified based on the expected date of settlement, and therefore is usually classified as a long-term liability, unless the termination of the employees is expected during the upcoming year.
	The Company's liability for those Israeli employees is partially provided for by monthly deposits for insurance policies and the remainder by an accrual. The value of these policies is recorded as an asset in the Company's balance sheet.
	The deposited funds include profits and losses accumulated up to the balance sheet date. The deposited funds may be withdrawn only upon the fulfillment of the obligation pursuant to Israeli Severance Pay Law or labor agreements. The value of the deposited funds is based on the cash redemption value of these policies. In addition, during 2012 the Company deposited certain amounts with a trustee, to compensate for any severance pay liability that is not covered by other funds. These deposits are restricted and may be withdrawn only for payment of severance pay liabilities. The severance pay funds and the restricted deposits for employee benefits are classified based on the classification of the corresponding liability.
	In respect of other Israeli employees, the Company obtained approval from the Israeli Ministry of Labor and Welfare, pursuant to the terms of Section 14 of the Israeli Severance Pay Law, 1963, according to which the current deposits in the pension fund and/or with the insurance company exempt the Company from any additional obligation to these employees for whom the said depository payments are made. These deposits are accounted as defined contribution payments.
	Severance pay expenses for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 amounted to approximately $609, $1,630 and $1,189, respectively. Defined contribution plan expenses were $415, $412 and $445 in the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Advertising Expenses	'
	Advertising expenses
	Advertising expenses are charged to the statements of operations as incurred. Advertising expenses for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 amounted to approximately 1,503$, $1,550 and $1,487, respectively.
Concentrations of Credit Risk	'
	Concentrations of credit risk
	Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash equivalents, bank deposits, U.S and Israeli treasury securities, corporate bonds and trade receivables.
	Cash equivalents are invested mainly in U.S. dollars with major banks in Israel and Europe. Management believes that the financial institutions that hold the Group's investments are financially sound and, accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to these investments.
	Most of the Company's trade receivables are derived from sales to large and financially secure organizations. In determining the adequacy of the allowance, management bases its opinion, inter alia, on the estimated risks, current market conditions, in reliance on available information with respect to the debtor's financial position.  As for major customers, see Note 17.
	The activity in the allowance for doubtful accounts for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 is as follows:
			2013			2012			2011
	Allowance for doubtful accounts at beginning of year		$	431		$	233		$	2,832
	Additions charged to allowance for doubtful accounts			220			319			90

Commitments and Contingencies	'
	Commitments and contingencies
	Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigations, fines and penalties and other sources are recognized when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated.
Business Divestitures	'
	Business divestures
	As described in Note 1B, the Company has sold certain operations during 2013. Upon reaching a definitive agreement with an acquirer, the Company recognizes the consideration received from the divesture, less all assets and liabilities sold, as a gain or loss.
	Discontinued operations
	Upon divesture of a business, the Company classifies such business as a discontinued operation, if the divested business meets the following criteria:
		(i)	The business qualifies as a component of an entity, as it comprises operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes, from the rest of the Company.
		(ii)	Both of the following conditions are met or expected to be met within one year:
		1)	The operations and cash flows of the business have been or will be eliminated from the ongoing operations of the entity in the disposal transaction;
		2)	The Company will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the component after the disposal transaction. The eligibility to receive contingent consideration from future sales of the divested business does not necessarily indicate that there is continuing involvement in the operations of the business.
	For disposals other than by sale such as abandonment, the results of operations of a business would not be recorded as a discontinued operation until the period in which the business is actually abandoned.
	The Company has concluded that at December 31, 2013, the SmartID Division Divesture and the German Subsidiary Divesture qualify as discontinued operations and therefore have been presented as such. The sale of PARX France (see note 1B(2)) does not qualify as a discontinued operation as the Company has significant involvement after the disposal transaction.
	Assets and liabilities of discontinued operations that have not yet been actually sold are presented on the balance sheet in one line item. Assets and liabilities of such discontinued operations are not offset and are presented as such only for the current year balance sheet.
	The results of businesses that have qualified at December 31, 2013 as discontinued operations have been presented as such for all reporting periods. Results of discontinued operations include all revenues and expenses directly derived from such businesses; general corporate overhead is not allocated to discontinued operations.
	Any loss or gain that arose from the divesture of a business that qualifies as discontinued operations has been included within the results of the discontinued operations.
	The Company also presents cash flows from discontinued operations separately from cash flows of continuing operations.
	Contingent consideration
	The Company's sale arrangements consist of contingent consideration based on the divested businesses future sales or profits. The Company records the contingent consideration portion of the arrangement when the consideration is determined to be realizable.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	'
	Recent accounting pronouncements
	In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.  ASU 2013-02 requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component.  In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period.  For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts.  ASU 2013-02 does not change the requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements.  The new standard is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013.  The Company will implement the provisions of ASU 2013-02 as of January 1, 2014. The implementation is not expected to have a material effect on the Company consolidated financial statements.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists.  ASU 2013-11 requires an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, to be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward.  ASU 2013-11 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014.  The new standard is to be applied prospectively but retrospective application is permitted.  The Company will implement the provisions of ASU 2013-11 as of January 1, 2015, and the implementation is not expected to have a material effect on the Company consolidated financial statements.

[1]	The leasehold land consists of two plots owned by the Israel Lands Administration. Rights to leasehold land on the first plot extend over the original period of 49 years ending in the year 2041 with an option to extend for an additional 49 years, and on the second plot for a period of 49 years, which will end in the year 2047 with an option to extend for a further 49 years. The amount includes payments on account of land development and payments of the capitalization of leasing payments. The rent for the initial 49-year term of each of these leases was prepaid in its entirety at the beginning of the lease terms as is customary in Israel for leases of property for industrial purposes from the Israel Lands Authority.
