1. 2007 Annual Financial Report of the Board of Directors of Industrial
Development Bank of Israel Ltd. approved and published February 26, 2008.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report on Form 6-K, including the 2007 annual financial report issued by
the Registrant's board of directors (a copy of which is included in this report
on Form 6-K as Exhibit 1), contains both historical and forward-looking
statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the "Securities Act") and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). These forward-looking statements are
not historical facts, but only predictions, and generally can be identified by
the use of statements that include phrases such as "believe," "expect,"
"anticipate," "intend," "plan," "foresee" or other words or phrases of similar
import. Similarly, statements that describe our objectives, plans or goals also
are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on
our current expectations and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could
cause actual results to differ materially from those currently anticipated. The
forward-looking statements included in this report on Form 6-K and the 2006
annual financial report are made only as of the date hereof and we undertake no
obligation to publicly update these forward-looking statements to reflect new
information, future events or otherwise.
Our actual results, performance and achievements could differ materially from
any future results, performance or achievements expressly predicted or implied
by these forward looking statements. The important factors which may cause
actual results to differ from the forward-looking statements contained herein
and in the 2005 annual financial report include, but are not limited to, the
following: general economic and business conditions; the implementation of the
government's resolution concerning the privatization of the Bank and the
implementation of the arrangement and compromise scheme between the Bank and its
shareholders regarding, among other things, the sale of the shares of the Bank,
about which the Board of Directors of the Bank resolved to file a motion for the
approval of the court; the continued availability of our line of credit from the
Bank of Israel; the government's and/or the Bank of Israel's resolutions
regarding our future operations; our ability to collect on existing loans;
operating costs for our remaining business activities; and the ability to retain
employees for our remaining business activities. Although we believe that the
assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained herein and in
the Immediate Report are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate,
and therefore, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements
will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in
the forward-looking statements included herein and in the 2006 annual financial
report, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a
representation by us or any other person that our objectives and expectations
will be achieved.
Potential investors and other readers are urged to consider these factors
carefully in evaluating the forward-looking statements and are cautioned not to
place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. In light of these
risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events might or might
not occur. We cannot assure you that projected results or events will be
achieved.
