NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008 AND 2007 (UNAUDITED)
| NOTE 1 | BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| A. | The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2008 and for the three and six month periods then ended (the “Interim Financial Statements”) were prepared in a condensed form in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all disclosures necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and all the data and notes which are required when preparing annual financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles accepted in the United States. |
| B. | The accounting principles used in the presentation of the Interim Financial Statements are consistent with those principles used in the presentation of the latest annual financial statements. All significant accounting policies have been applied consistently with the year ended December 31, 2007. |
| C. | The preparation of the Interim Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation of the Interim Financial Statements have been included. The results of operations for the three and six months periods ended June 30, 2008, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2008. The Interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual financial statements as of December 31, 2007 and for the year then ended and the accompanying notes thereto. |
| D. | Principles of Consolidation |
| The Interim Financial Statements include the accounts of Defense Industries International, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Export Erez, USA, Inc., Export Erez, Ltd., Mayotex, Ltd., Dragonwear Trading Ltd, Rizzo, Inc. (Owen Mills) and its 76% owned subsidiary Achidatex Nazareth Elite (1997) Ltd. for all periods presented (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |

| E. | Earnings per common share |
| Basic net income per share of common stock is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share of common stock is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 common stock equivalents to purchase 202,500 shares of common stock were not included in diluted loss per share because their effect is anti-dilutive. |
| F. | Fair value |
| Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”), which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. |
| SFAS 157 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. SFAS 157 also requires disclosure about how fair value is determined for assets and liabilities and establishes a hierarchy for which these assets and liabilities must be grouped, based on significant levels of inputs, as follows: |
| Level 1 | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
| Level 2 | Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability; or |
| Level 3 | Unobservable inputs, such as discounted cash flow models or valuations. |
| The Company's funds in respect to employees’ rights upon retirement are measured at fair value based upon unobservable inputs (Level 3). |
| The Company’s trading securities are measured at fair value based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1). The effect of the first-time adoption of this statement had no material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. |
| In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”(“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. This statement became effective for the Company as of the year beginning January 1, 2008, and the Company did not elect to apply SFAS 159 to its financial assets and liabilities. Therefore the adoption of SFAS 159 has had no impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. |

| G. | Recent accounting pronouncements |
| In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, "Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R)", (“FAS 158”). This Standard requires recognition of the funded status of a benefit plan in the statement of financial position. The Standard also requires recognition in other comprehensive income certain gains and losses that arise during the period but are deferred under pension accounting rules, as well as modifies the timing of reporting and adds certain disclosures. FAS 158 provides recognition and disclosure elements to be effective as of the end of the fiscal year after December 15, 2006 and measurement elements to be effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The Company does not expect the remaining elements of this Statement to have a material impact on the company’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows when adopted. |
| In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007) “Business Combinations,” a revision of the original “SFAS No. 141". This statement requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions specified in the Statement. That replaces the original Statement 141, cost-allocation process, which required the cost of an acquisition to be allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The Company is required to adopt the revised SFAS No. 141 on January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the revised SFAS No. 141 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. |
| In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” an amendment of ARB No. 51. This statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries and for the deconsolidation of subsidiaries and clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 160 also required expanded disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent owners and the interests of the noncontrolling owners of a subsidiary. The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 160 on January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this Statement on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. |
| In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Statement No. 161 (“SFAS 161”), “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. SFAS 161 requires companies with derivative instruments to disclose information that should enable financial-statement users to understand how and why a company uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FASB Statement No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect a company’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact that SFAS 161 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. |

| The Company has two strategic business segments: sales to the civilian market and the military market. |
| The military and the civilian markets are further broken down between Israel (local) and other (export) sales in order to better analyze trends in sales and profit margins. The Company does not allocate assets between segments because assets are used in more than one segment and any allocation would be impractical. |

| NOTE 6 | EXTRAORDINARY GAIN |
| During 2004, the Israeli Government decided to evacuate the Erez Industrial Zone in the Gaza Strip where part of the Company’s operations were located. The Company had owned facilities, leased other facilities and maintained equipment and inventory within this area. In 2005, the Company moved its “light cut and sew” operation from the Erez Industrial Zone to Sderot as well as some of its webbing equipment to Nazareth. In August 2005, the Company evacuated its remaining operations and abandoned the buildings it owned and leased in the Erez Industrial Zone. In 2005, the Company recorded a receivable from the Israeli Government of $217,477 related to the direct cost to move and loss on abandoned properties. |
| The Israeli Government’s decision to evacuate the Gaza Strip was supported by certain resolutions, as well as the “Evacuation Compensation Law” that was adopted by the Israeli Parliament, to compensate the Israeli Gaza Strip settlers as well as business and property owners in the Gaza Strip and in the Erez Industrial Zone. In February 2006, three subsidiaries, Export Erez, Mayotex and Achidatex filed claims for compensation pursuant to the Evacuation Compensation Law. |
| In 2006, the Company was notified that it would receive advance payments aggregating $523,000. The Company applied these payments against the receivables established in 2005 and recorded the excess payment of $240,658, net of 5% taxes, as an extraordinary gain. |
| On February 18, 2008 Export Erez Ltd., Mayotex Ltd. and Achidatex Nazareth Elite (1997) Ltd. signed definitive agreements with SELA, a government agency, established pursuant to the Evacuation Compensation Law, for compensation of approximately $6 million, net of 5% related taxes, receipt of the previous advance payment and the other associated costs. The Company received and recorded gain in the amount of $4,910,541 during the six months ended June 30, 2008. The change in the dollar amount from the amount reported in the first quarter resulted from the appreciation of the NIS against the U.S. dollar. |

| Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
This discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2007 contained in our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. The discussion and analysis which follows may contain trend analysis and other forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial results. These include statements regarding our earnings, projected growth and forecasts, and similar matters that are not historical facts.
We remind shareholders that forward-looking statements are merely predictions and therefore are inherently subject to uncertainties and other factors that could cause the future results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.
The following is management’s discussion and analysis of certain significant factors which have affected our financial position and operating results during the periods included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, as well as information relating to the plans of our current management.
Overview
We are a manufacturer and global provider of personal military and civilian protective equipment and supplies. Our products are used by military, law enforcement, border patrol enforcement, and other special security forces, corporations, non-governmental organizations and individuals throughout the world.
Our main products include body armor, bomb disposal suits, bullet proof vests and jackets, ballistic wall coverings, bullet proof ceramic and polyethylene panels, V.I.P. car armoring and lightweight armor kits for vehicles, personal military equipment, dry storage systems, liquid logistic products, tents and other camping and travel gear.
We believe that current international tensions, the war on terrorism, and the continuing conflict in Iraq are all likely to result in additional interest in our products, and that the demand for our products will continue to grow.
We expect to address this growth by offering a comprehensive array of high quality branded security products that meet our customers’ increasingly complex security products requirements. We intend to enhance our position in the industry through additional strategic acquisitions that will broaden our portfolio of products.
The following elements define our growth strategy:
| — | Pursue strategic acquisitions. We intend to selectively pursue strategic acquisitions that complement our product offerings, provide access to new geographic markets, and provide additional distribution channels and new customer relations. |
| — | Expand Distribution Networks and Product Offerings. We expect to continue to strengthen our distribution network by expanding our range of branded law enforcement equipment through the acquisition of and by investing in development of new and enhanced products which complement our existing offerings. We believe that a broader product line will strengthen our relationships with distributors and enhance our brand appeal with military, law enforcement and other end users. |
Local Military Market. After the war between Israel and the Hezbollah in Lebanon in July and August of 2006, increased orders by the Israeli Ministry of Defense increased the demand for our products in this market. During the first six months of 2008 the demand for our products decreased compared to the same period of 2007, but was significantly higher than in 2006. We believe that the demand for our products from the Israeli Ministry of Defense will remain stable at the current levels in the remainder of 2008 and for the beginning of 2009.
12
As of August 11, 2008, we had a backlog of firm orders from the Israeli Ministry of Defense of approximately $4.3million, including orders of approximately $1.6million that we received subsequent to June 30, 2008. In the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, sales to the Israeli Ministry of Defense were $2.8 millionand $4.8 million, accounting for36.6% and 50.6% of our sales, respectively.
Export Military Market. Our customers in this market are military and law enforcement organizations mostly in South America, North America and Europe. Their budgets fluctuate and as a result we cannot identify definite trends in these markets.
Since 2003, we have increased our export efforts as a consequence of the worldwide environment resulting from the events of September 11, 2001, the subsequent war on terrorism and the continuing conflict in Iraq. We are continuing our efforts to strengthen our position in our existing export markets in North America, South America, Asia and Europe, and to extend our presence to new export markets in Australia and Africa. We believe that although the demand for our products from these markets are inconsistent, they are growing and that any future success in such markets is mainly dependant on our ability to be competitive in our pricing and the quality of our products.
Since January 2008, we have experienced an increased demand for armored vehicles, from central and south African countries. We believe that the armor car business is growing and will become even more significant for us by the end of 2008. The armor car business is characterized by higher gross margins than our traditional military products.
The following table presents details of our export military sales during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007:

Export Civilian Market. In this market segment we have been dependent on one major U.S. customer for flexible agriculture storage products. During 2007, this customer started its own limited production line for the same products that it previously purchased from us. As of now we do not expect to receive significant orders from this customer in the foreseeable future.
Local Civilian Market. Our product range to the civilian market is diversified. In 2007 and 2006, our local market business grew moderately as a result of the improvement in the economic situation in Israel. We expect this market to continue to grow in 2008.
Backlog. We had approximately $4.4 million of unfilled customer orders at June 30, 2008, compared to $7.0 million of unfilled customer orders at June 30, 2007. As of June 30, 2008, our backlog included approximately $2.7 million that was attributable to orders from the Israeli Ministry of Defense, approximately $100,000 that was attributable to orders from civilian and military customers in Africa and Asia, approximately $870,000 that was attributable to orders from the local civilian market, and approximately $750,000 that was attributable to orders from civilian and military customers in South America. The decrease in our backlog is primarily the result of decrease in orders from the Israeli Ministry of Defense.

During 2004, the Israeli Government decided to evacuate the Erez Industrial Zone in the Gaza Strip, where part of our operations were located. We owned facilities, leased other facilities and maintained equipment and inventory within this area. In 2005, we moved our “light cut and sew” operation from the Erez Industrial Zone to Sderot and some of our webbing equipment to Nazareth. In August 2005, we evacuated our remaining operations and abandoned the buildings we owned and leased in the Erez Industrial Zone.
The Israeli Government’s decision to evacuate the Gaza Strip was supported by certain resolutions, including the “Evacuation Compensation Law” that was adopted by the Israeli Parliament to compensate the Israeli Gaza Strip settlers as well as business and property owners in the Gaza Strip and in the Erez Industrial Zone. In February 2006, three of our subsidiaries, Export Erez, Mayotex and Achidatex filed claims for compensation pursuant to the Evacuation Compensation Law. In 2005, we recorded a receivable from the Israeli Government of $217,477 related to our direct moving costs and loss on abandoned properties.
In 2006, we were notified that we would receive advance payments in the aggregate amount of $523,000. We applied this payment against the receivable established in 2005 and recorded the excess payment of $240,658, net of taxes, as extraordinary gain.
On February 18, 2008 Export Erez, Mayotex and Achidatex signed definitive agreements with SELA, a government agency, established pursuant to the Evacuation Compensation Law, for compensation of approximately $6.0 million, net of 5% related taxes, receipt of the previous advance payment and the other associated costs. The Company received and recorded gain in the amount of $4,910,541 during the six months ended June 30, 2008. The change in the dollar amount from the amount reported in the first quarter, resulted from the appreciation of the NIS against the U.S. dollar.
Results of Operations
Key Indicators
Our management views revenues, the sources of our revenues, gross profit margin and the level of inventory compared to revenues as the key performance indicators in assessing our company’s financial condition and results of operations. While our management believes that demand for our products will continue to grow, our business is subject to a high degree of volatility because of the impact of geopolitical events and government budgeting.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2008 Compared with Three Months Ended June 30, 2007
Net Revenues. Net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2008 decreased to $4,477,086 from $5,650,978 in the same period in 2007, a decrease of 20.7%. The decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease of approximately $2 million in our major market segment, the local military market, which was offset in part by an increase of $790,900 in our local civilian market and by a $141,272 increase in our export military sales. The decreased revenues in our local military market segment is attributable to a general decrease in demand from the Israeli Ministry of Defense.
In the three months ended June 30, 2008, Achidatex, Export Erez and Owen Mills accounted for $972,549 or 21.7%, $3,180,382 million or 71.1%, and $324,155 or 7.2% of our revenues, respectively.

Gross profit. Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $1.2 million compared to $2.4 million for the same period in 2007. This decrease in gross profit is primarily attributable to the decrease in revenues, resulting in the increased absorption of fixed manufacturing expenses allocated to lower sales during the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. In the three months ended June 30, 2008, Achidatex, Export Erez, and Owen Mills accounted for 45.0%, 46.0% and 9.0%, of our gross profit, respectively.

Our gross profit margin for the three months ended June 30, 2008 declined to 26.3% compared to 41.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2007 primarily due to the decrease in revenues, resulting in a high level of fixed manufacturing expensesallocated to lower sales, and a change in our product mix to products having lower margins.

Selling Expenses. Selling expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2008 increased to $372,690 from $314,796 for the same period in 2007.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2008 decreased to $602,904 from $658,508 for the same period in 2007, mainly as a result of the decreased scope of our operations.
Financial Expenses. We had financial expense, net of $151,243 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to financial income, net of $36,203 for the same period in 2007. The expense is primarily due to the change in the exchange rate of U.S. Dollar versus the NIS, which resulted in a loss of $134,483 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and a gain of $82,743 for the same period in 2007.
Other Income (Expenses), Net. We had other expense, net for the three months ended June 30, 2008 of $56,189 as compared to other income, net of $35,580 for the same period in 2007.

Income Tax Expense. Our income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $9,310. Although we had a net loss from operating activities on a consolidated basis, Achidatex had taxable income for which tax expenses were provided, presented net of a tax benefit received by Export Erez.

Net Revenues. Net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2008 decreased to $7.6 million from $9.6 million in the same period in 2007, a decrease of 20.8%. The decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease of approximately $2.2 million in our local military market segment and the loss of our customer in the export civilian market which was offset in part by an increase of approximately $1.1 million in our local civilian market. The decreased revenues in our local military market segment is attributable to a general decrease in demand from the Israeli Ministry of Defense.

The improvement in our liquidity and capital resources is primarily attributable to the extraordinary income of $4.9 million, net of tax, that we recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2008 when our three subsidiaries, Export Erez, Mayotex and Achidatex, received compensation from the Israeli Government with respect to the evacuation of the Gaza Industrial Zone.

Net cash used in operating activities was $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $753,997 for the same period in 2007. This was primarily attributable to net loss from operating activities of $262,790, an $1.7 million increase in inventories in order to support future sales, new product lines and also reflects the production of a significant amount of finished and semi finished products that were delivered at the beginning of the third quarter, increase in trading securities of $1.1 million, an increase in other current assets of $152,008, and decrease in accounts payable of $107,757 offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of $511,218, depreciation of $288,893 and an increase in deffered income of $461,013.
Net cash used in investing activities was $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $266,197 in the six months ended June 30, 2007. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, purchases of fixed assets were $125,682 and $1.9 million comprises bank deposits compared to purchases of fixed assets of $292,762 during the six months ended June 30, 2007.
Net cash used in financing activities was $309,460 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $734,003 of net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we decreased our short-term debt by $69,361 and we repaid $288,312 of long-term debt.
Most of our large contracts, which are Israeli Governmental contracts, are supported by letters of credit. As a result, we believe that we have limited exposure to doubtful accounts receivables. We have strived to balance our accounts payable and accounts receivable.
Subject to an unexpected growth in inventories as a result of future growth in sales, new product lines and a significant change in raw material prices, we intend to use our cash flow from operations for the acquisition of companies or equipment to expand our capabilities.
We anticipate that our research and development expenses in 2008 will reflect an annualized spending of approximately $100,000per year.
On January 17, 2008 we obtained a short-term credit facility of $250,000 from Bank Leumi USA. The interest rate for such credit facility is Libor + 2%. The credit facility is due November 17, 2008. As of June 30, 2008 the credit facility was utilized in full. On June 2, 2008 we obtained a short-term credit facility of $250,000 from Bank Leumi USA. The interest rate for such credit facility is Libor + 2%. The credit facility is due December 31, 2008. As of June 30, 2008, the credit facility had not been utilized.
We believe that we have sufficient working capital and borrowing capability to sustain our current level of operations for the next twelve months.
We develop products in Israel and sell them in Israel, North and South America, Asia, Africa and several European countries. Our sales in Israel are denominated in NIS while most of our export sales are denominated in U.S. dollars. In addition, our labor expenses are primarily paid in NIS while our expenses for raw materials are paid in U.S. dollars and Euros. As a result, our financial results are affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in foreign markets.
Our foreign currency exposure is significant due to the depreciation of the U.S. dollar versus the NIS and the Euro. We expect it will continue to be significant, since a significant portion of the prices of our material purchases, as well as part of our sales are denominated in U.S. dollars.
18
In the year ended December 31, 2007, the inflation rate in Israel was 2.9% and the NIS appreciated in relation to the U.S. dollar at a rate of 8.97%, from NIS 4.225 per $1 on December 31, 2006 to NIS 3.846 per $1 on December 31, 2007. In the six month period ended June 30, 2008, the inflation in Israel was 2.34% while the NIS appreciated in relation to the U.S. dollar at a rate of 12.84%. We will be adversely affected if the U.S. dollar, the standard currency used in our export sales, continues to depreciate against the Euro or the NIS, the currencies used for many of our purchases of raw material and labor costs.
We did not enter into any foreign exchange contracts or hedging transactions in the six months ended June 30, 2008.

A discussion of our critical accounting policies was provided in Item 6 of our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007. There were no significant changes to these policies in the first six months of 2008.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R), (“FAS 158”). This Standard requires recognition of the funded status of a benefit plan in the statement of financial position. The Standard also requires recognition in other comprehensive income certain gains and losses that arise during the period but are deferred under pension accounting rules, as well as modifies the timing of reporting and adds certain disclosures. FAS 158 provides recognition and disclosure elements to be effective as of the end of the fiscal year after December 15, 2006 and measurement elements to be effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. We do not expect the remaining elements of this Statement to have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows when adopted.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007) “Business Combinations,” a revision of the original “SFAS No. 141". This statement requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions specified in the Statement. That replaces the original Statement 141, cost-allocation process, which required the cost of an acquisition to be allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. We are required to adopt the revised SFAS No. 141 on January 1, 2009. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of the revised SFAS No. 141 on our consolidated financial statements.
19
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” an amendment of ARB No. 51. This statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries and for the deconsolidation of subsidiaries and clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 160 also required expanded disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent owners and the interests of the noncontrolling owners of a subsidiary. We are required to adopt SFAS No. 160 on January 1, 2009. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of this Statement on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Statement No. 161 (“SFAS 161”), “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. SFAS 161 requires companies with derivative instruments to disclose information that should enable financial-statement users to understand how and why a company uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FASB Statement No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect a company’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating the potential impact that SFAS 161 will have on tour consolidated financial statements.
| Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
Not applicable.
| Item 4T. | Controls and Procedures |
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective disclosure controls and procedures. As of June 30, 2008, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer participated with our management in evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the SEC reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified by the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2008 for the same reasons indicated in our annual report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.
In response to the material weaknesses identified in our Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, our management plans to improve our control environment and to remedy the identified material weaknesses by adding qualified financial personnel and resources to implement, maintain and monitor the required internal controls over the financial reporting process. In addition, we believe this will provide for reasonable and necessary separation of duties to allow for the compilation, review and analysis of complete financial reporting in a timely manner, and for the management to review key performance indicators regularly to identify and investigate significant variances by implementing a reporting package procedure.
In the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2008, we relied on the support of outside financial service providers in connection with the preparation of our financial reports. In addition, we are currently in the process of hiring a qualified controller. In the next quarter we will start an upgrade program for our ERP system. Such upgrade will allow us to significantly improve our financial reporting process as well as the internal planning and our control over the financial reporting process.
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this quarterly report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

| Item 1. | Legal Proceedings |
We are not a party to any pending or to the best of our knowledge, any threatened legal proceedings.
In February 2006, three of our subsidiaries, Export Erez, Mayotex and Achidatex filed claims for compensation pursuant to the Evacuation Compensation Law. In January 2007 we received advanced payments in the amounts of approximately $523,000. On February 18, 2008 our three subsidiaries, Export Erez, Mayotex and Achidatex signed definitive agreements with SELA, a government agency established pursuant to the Evacuation Compensation Law, for compensation of approximately $6 million, net of the $523,000 we received in 2007. The net compensation payments after our payment of approximately $600,000 of expenses was recognized as an extraordinary gain net of the 5% taxes payment on such payment.
