REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders of
AROTECH CORPORATION
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Arotech Corporation (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in Item 15(a)(2) of the Company’s 10-K. These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of “Armor of America Incorporated”, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, financial statements of which reflect total assets of 2.8% of the consolidated assets of the Company as of December 31, 2005, and total revenues of 8.8% of the consolidated revenues of the Company for the year then ended, or of “IES Interactive Training, Inc.”, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, financial statements of which reflect total assets of 3.5% of the consolidated assets of the Company as of December 31, 2005, and total revenues of 11.8% of the consolidated revenues of the Company for the year then ended. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the data included for this subsidiary, is based solely on the report of the other auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion based on our audits and the other auditors the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Additionally, in our opinion the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements and schedule taken as a whole, present fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) and our report dated June 15, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion on management’s assessment of and an adverse opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of
AROTECH CORPORATION
We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying “Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting,” that Arotech Corporation (“Arotech” or “Company”) did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, because of the effect of the material weakness related to revenue recognition identified in management’s assessment, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Arotech’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We did not examine the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting of Armor of America Incorporated or IES Interactive Training Inc., wholly owned subsidiaries, whose financial statements in the aggregate reflect total assets and revenues constituting 6.3% and 20.6%, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2005. The effectiveness of Armor of America Incorporated’s and IES Interactive Training Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting was audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the effectiveness of Armor of America Incorporated’s and IES Interactive Training Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit and the reports of the other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our report dated March 30, 2006, we disclaimed an opinion on management’s assessment and on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, because management had not yet completed its assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Management has subsequently completed its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005. Accordingly, our present report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, as presented herein, is different from our previous report dated March 30, 2006.
A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. The following material weakness has been identified and included in management’s assessment: The Company did not maintain effective controls over the monitoring, review and approval of revenue recognition calculations at FAAC INC. Specifically, these calculations were not being reviewed by appropriate accounting personnel at FAAC INC. to determine that revenue is recognized in accordance with company policy and generally accepted accounting principles. This material weakness affects the Company’s revenue and unbilled receivable accounts. This material weakness was considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2005 financial statements, and this report does not affect our report dated March 30, 2006, except for the final paragraph of our report as to which the date is June 15, 2006, on those financial statements.
In our opinion, based on our audit and the reports of the other auditors, management’s assessment that Arotech did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the COSO control criteria. Also, in our opinion, based on our audit and the reports of the other auditors, because of the effect of the material weakness described above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, Arotech has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on the COSO control criteria.

The Company is primarily operating through IES Interactive Training, Inc. (“IES”), a wholly-owned subsidiary based in Littleton, Colorado; FAAC Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and FAAC’s 80%-owned United Kingdom subsidiary FAAC Limited; Electric Fuel Battery Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary based in Auburn, Alabama; Electric Fuel Ltd. (“EFL”) a wholly-owned subsidiary based in Beit Shemesh, Israel; Epsilor Electronic Industries, Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary located in Dimona, Israel; MDT Protective Industries, Ltd. (“MDT”), a majority-owned subsidiary based in Lod, Israel; MDT Armor Corporation, a majority-owned subsidiary based in Auburn, Alabama; and Armour of America, Incorporated, a wholly-owned subsidiary based in Los Angeles, California.
Revenues derived from the Company’s largest customers in 2005, 2004 and 2003 are described in Note 16.d.
b. Acquisition of Epsilor:
In January 2004, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement between itself and all of the shareholders of Epsilor Electronic Industries, Ltd. (“Epsilor”), pursuant to the terms of which the Company purchased all of the outstanding shares of Epsilor from Epsilor’s existing shareholders. Epsilor develops and sells rechargeable and primary lithium batteries and smart chargers to the military, and to private industry in the Middle East, Europe and Asia.
The Acquisition was accounted under the purchase method accounting. Accordingly, all assets and liabilities acquired were recorded at their estimated market values as of the date of acquisition, and results of Epsilor’s operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements commencing the date of acquisition. The total consideration of $10,144,262 (including transaction costs) for the shares purchased consisted of (i) cash in the amount of $7,000,000, and (ii) a series of three $1,000,000 promissory notes, due on the first, second and third anniversaries of the agreement, which were recorded at their fair value of $2,940,985.
Based upon a valuation of tangible and intangible assets acquired, Arotech has allocated the total cost of the acquisition to Epsilor’s net assets as follows:
Tangible assets acquired | | $ | 2,239,848 | |
Intangible assets | | | | |
| | | | |
Customer list | | | 5,092,395 | |
Goodwill | | | 5,192,012 | |
Liabilities assumed | | | (2,379,993 | ) |
Total consideration | | $ | 10,144,262 | |
AROTECH CORPORATION AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In U.S. dollars
NOTE 1:– GENERAL (Cont.)
Customer list in the amount of $5,092,395 has a useful life of approximately ten years.
In accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” goodwill arising from acquisitions will not be amortized. In lieu of amortization, Arotech is required to perform an annual impairment test. If Arotech determines, through the impairment review process, that goodwill has been impaired, it will record the impairment charge in its statement of operations. Arotech will also assess the impairment of goodwill whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
The value assigned to tangible, intangible assets and liabilities was determined as follows:
| 1. | To determine the estimated market value of Epsilor’s net current assets, property and equipment, and net liabilities, the “Cost Approach” was used. According to the valuation made, the book values for the current assets and liabilities were reasonable proxies for their market values. |
| 2. | The customer list is the asset that generates most of the Company’s sales. Hence, the “Income Approach” was used to estimate its value, resulting in a value of $5,092,395. |
See Note 1.e. for pro forma financial information.
c. Acquisition of FAAC:
In January of 2004, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with the stockholders of FAAC Incorporated (“FAAC”), pursuant to the terms of which it acquired all of the issued and outstanding common stock of FAAC, a provider of driving simulators, systems engineering and software products to the United States military, government and private industry.
The Acquisition was accounted under the purchase method accounting. Accordingly, all assets and liabilities were recorded at their estimated market values as of the date acquired, and results of FAAC’s operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements commencing the date of acquisition. The consideration for the purchase consisted of (i) cash in the amount of $12.0 million, and (ii) the issuance of a total of 71,704 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.14 par value per share, having a value of approximately $2.0 million. There was also an earn-out based on 2004 net pretax income. Based on FAAC’s 2004 net pretax income, the Company paid the former stockholders of FAAC an earnout of $13.6 million during 2005, in cash and through the issuance of a total of 3,479,465 shares of the Company’s common stock (see Note 13.b.5.). The total consideration of $27.7 million (including the earn-out as well as $137,991 of transaction costs) was determined based upon arm’s-length negotiations between the Company and FAAC’s stockholders.
In addition, the Company has a contingent earnout obligation in an amount equal to the net income realized by the Company from certain specific programs that were identified by the Company and the former shareholders of FAAC as appropriate targets for revenue increases in 2005. During 2005, the Company accrued an amount of $603,764 in respect of such earnout obligation against FAAC’s goodwill. Although the former shareholders of FAAC have indicated to the Company their belief that the specific programs identified include more orders than those with respect to which the Company has made accrual in respect of this earnout obligation, the Company believes there is no basis for this claim (see note 11.e.3.).

d. Acquisition of AoA:
In August 2004, the Company purchased all of the outstanding stock of Armour of America, Incorporated, a California corporation (“AoA”), from AoA’s existing shareholder. The assets acquired through the purchase of all of AoA’s outstanding stock consisted of all of AoA’s assets, including AoA’s current as-sets, property and equipment, and other assets (including intangible assets such as in-tellectual property and contractual rights).
The total purchase price consisted of $19,000,000 in cash, with additional possible earn-outs if AoA is awarded certain material contracts. An additional $3,000,000 was to be paid into an escrow account pursuant to the terms of an escrow agreement, to secure a portion of the Earnout Consideration. These funds are currently being held by the seller of AoA. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, the total consideration, sale price plus Earnout Consideration, will not be in excess of $40,000,000. When the contingency on the earn-out provision is resolved, the additional consideration, if any, will be recorded as additional purchase price. The purchase price also included $131,177 of transaction costs. The transaction has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, and accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their fair values at the date the acquisition was completed.

f. Impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets:
SFAS No. 142 requires goodwill to be tested for impairment on adoption of the Statement, at least annually thereafter, and between annual tests in certain circumstances, and written down when impaired, rather than being amortized as previous accounting standards required. Goodwill is tested for impairment by comparing the fair value of the Company’s reportable units with their carrying value. Fair value is determined using discounted cash flows. Significant estimates used in the methodologies include estimates of future cash flows, future short-term and long-term growth rates, weighted average cost of capital and estimates of market multiples for the reportable units.
During 2005, the Company performed impairment test of goodwill, based on management’s projections and using expected future discounted operating cash flows and as response to several factors, including without limitation the reduced sales in AoA (a component of the Company’s Armor Division) the fact that AoA failed to meet its projections, the decision of the General Manager of AoA and his new supervisor to leave the employ of AoA and the Company, respectively, and general uncertainty about the market for AoA’s products in general and AoA’s business in particular; specifically, the delay or loss of several potential orders, decisions by customers to utilize methods of armor not produced by AoA (hard armor instead of soft armor), the change in U.S. military priorities from acquiring new armor to funding the ground forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. Furthermore, following Hurricane Katrina, substantial funds earmarked for defense were delayed to provide funds for hurricane relief. As of December 31, 2005, as a result of this impairment test, the Company identified in AoA an impairment of goodwill in the amount of $11,757,812.
AROTECH CORPORATION AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In U.S. dollars
NOTE 1:– GENERAL (Cont.)
The Company and its subsidiaries’ long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS No. 144”), whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the carrying amount of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. As of December 31, 2004 the Company identified an impairment of the technology previously purchased from Bristlecone and as a result has recorded an impairment loss in the amount of $320,279. As of December 31, 2005 the Company identified an impairment of backlog, trademarks and a covenant not to compete previously identified with respect to the AoA acquisition and as a result recorded an impairment loss in the amount of $498,944.
NOTE 2:– SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).
a. Use of estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
b. Financial statements in U.S. dollars:
A majority of the revenues of the Company and most of its subsidiaries and its subsidiaries’ affiliates is generated in U.S. dollars. In addition, a substantial portion of the Company’s and most of its subsidiaries costs are incurred in U.S. dollars (“dollar”). Management believes that the dollar is the primary currency of the economic environment in which the Company and most of its subsidiaries operate. Thus, the functional and reporting currency of the Company and most of its subsidiaries is the dollar. Accordingly, monetary accounts maintained in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are remeasured into U.S. dollars in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 52 “Foreign Currency Translation” (“SFAS No. 52”). All transaction, gains and losses from the remeasured monetary balance sheet items are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations as financial income or expenses, as appropriate.
The majority of transactions of MDT and Epsilor are in New Israel Shekels (“NIS”) and a substantial portion of MDT’s and Epsilor’s costs is incurred in NIS. Management believes that the NIS is the functional currency of MDT and Epsilor. Accordingly, the financial statements of MDT and Epsilor have been translated into U.S. dollars. All balance sheet accounts have been translated using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Statement of operations amounts has been translated using the weighted average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity

NOTE 2:– SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
c. Principles of consolidation:
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly and majority owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
d. Cash equivalents:
Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash with maturities of three months or less when acquired.
e. Restricted collateral deposits
Restricted cash is primarily invested in highly liquid deposits which are used as a security for the Company’s guarantee performance, its liability to a former shareholder of its acquired subsidiary and for the company’s liability for interest payments related to its convertible debentures.
f. Marketable securities
The Company and its subsidiaries account for investments in debt and equity securities in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” (“SFAS No. 115”). Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments in debt and equity securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such determinations at each balance sheet date.
At December 31, 2005 the Company and its subsidiaries classified its investment in marketable securities as available-for-sale.
Investment in trust funds are classified as available-for-sale and stated at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of stockholders’ equity, net of taxes. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments, as determined on a specific identification basis, are included in the consolidated statements of income.
g. Inventories:
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Inventory write-offs and write-down provisions are provided to cover risks arising from slow-moving items or technological obsolescence and for market prices lower than cost. The Company periodically evaluates the quantities on hand relative to current and historical selling prices and historical and projected sales volume. Based on this evaluation, provisions are made to write inventory down to its market value. In 2005, 2004 and 2003, the Company wrote off $1,062,336, $121,322 and $96,350 of obsolete inventory respectively, which has been included in the cost of revenues.
Cost is determined as follows:
Raw and packaging materials – by the average cost method.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In U.S. dollars
NOTE 2:– SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
Work in progress – represents the cost of manufacturing with additions of allocable indirect manufacturing cost.
Finished products – on the basis of direct manufacturing costs with additions of allocable indirect manufacturing costs.
h. Property and equipment:
Property and equipment are stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation and investment grants received from the State of Israel for investments in fixed assets under the Investment Law (no investment grants were received during 2005, 2004 and 2003).
Depreciation is calculated by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, at the following annual rates:
| | % |
| | |
Computers and related equipment | | 33 |
Motor vehicles | | 15 |
Office furniture and equipment | | 6 - 10 |
Machinery and equipment | | 10 - 25 (mainly 10) |
Leasehold improvements | | By the shorter of the term of the lease and the life of the asset |
i. Goodwill:
Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of the net assets of businesses acquired. Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS No, 142”) goodwill acquired in a business combination on or after July 1, 2001, is not amortized after January 1, 2002.
SFAS No. 142 requires goodwill to be tested for impairment on adoption of the Statement and at least annually thereafter or between annual tests in certain circumstances, and written down when impaired, rather than being amortized as previous accounting standards required. Goodwill is tested for impairment by comparing the fair value of the Company’s reportable units with their carrying value. Fair value is determined using discounted cash flows. Significant estimates used in the methodologies include estimates of future cash flows, future short-term and long-term growth rates, weighted average cost of capital and estimates of market multiples for the reportable units.
See Note 1.f. regarding the impairment test.
j. Long-lived assets:
Intangible assets acquired in a business combination that are subject to amortization are amortized over their useful life using a method of amortization that reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are consumed or otherwise used up, in accordance with SFAS No. 142.

NOTE 2:– SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
The acquired trademarks and tradenames are deemed to have an indefinite useful life because they are expected to contribute to cash flows indefinitely. Therefore, the trademarks will not be amortized until their useful life is no longer indefinite. The trademarks and tradenames are tested annually for impairment in accordance FAS 142.
The Company and its subsidiaries’ long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS No. 144”) whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the carrying amount of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets
See Note 1.f. regarding the impairment test.
k. Revenue recognition:
The Company is a defense and security products and services company, engaged in three business areas: interactive simulation for military, law enforcement and commercial markets; batteries and charging systems for the military; and high-level armoring for military, paramilitary and commercial vehicles. During 2005, the Company and its subsidiaries recognized revenues as follows: (i) from the sale and customization of interactive training systems and from the maintenance services in connection with such systems (Simulation and Training Division); (ii) from revenues under armor contracts and for service and repair of armored vehicles (Armor Division); (iii) from the sale of batteries, chargers and adapters to the military, and under certain development contracts with the U.S. Army (Battery and Power Systems Division); and (iv) from the sale of lifejacket lights (Battery and Power Systems Division.
Revenues from the Battery and Power Systems Division products and Armor Division are recognized in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition” when persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, collectability is probably, and no further obligation remains.
Revenues from contracts that involve customization of FAAC’s simulation system to customer specific specifications are recognized in accordance with Statement Of Position 81-1, “Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts,” using contract accounting on a percentage of completion method, in accordance with the “Input Method.” The amount of revenue recognized is based on the percentage to completion achieved. The percentage to completion is measured by monitoring progress using records of actual time incurred to date in the project compared to the total estimated project requirement, which corresponds to the costs related to earned revenues. Estimates of total project requirements are based on prior experience of customization, delivery and acceptance of the same or similar technology and are reviewed and updated regularly by management. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are first determined, in the amount of the estimated loss on the entire contract. As of December 31, 2005, $485,877 estimated losses were identified.

NOTE 2:– SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
The Company believes that the use of the percentage of completion method is appropriate as the Company has the ability to make reasonably dependable estimates of the extent of progress towards completion, contract revenues and contract costs. In addition, contracts executed include provisions that clearly specify the enforceable rights regarding services to be provided and received by the parties to the contracts, the consideration to be exchanged and the manner and the terms of settlement, including in cases of terminations for convenience. In all cases the Company expects to perform its contractual obligations and its customers are expected to satisfy their obligations under the contract.
Revenues from simulators, which do not require significant customization, are recognized in accordance with Statement of Position 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” (“SOP 97-2”). SOP 97-2 generally requires revenue earned on software arrangements involving multiple elements to be allocated to each element based on the relative fair value of the elements. The Company has adopted Statement of Position 98-9, “Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition with Respect to Certain Transactions” (“SOP 98-9”). According to SOP No. 98-9, revenues are allocated to the different elements in the arrangement under the “residual method” when Vendor Specific Objective Evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value exists for all undelivered elements and no VSOE exists for the delivered elements. Under the residual method, at the outset of the arrangement with the customer, the Company defers revenue for the fair value of its undelivered elements (maintenance and support) and recognizes revenue for the remainder of the arrangement fee attributable to the elements initially delivered in the arrangement (software product) when all other criteria in SOP 97-2 have been met.
Revenue from such simulators is recognized when persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, delivery has occurred, no significant obligations with regard to implementation remain, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable.
Maintenance and support revenue included in multiple element arrangements is deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the maintenance and support services. Revenues from training are recognized when it is performed. The VSOE of fair value of the maintenance, training and support services is determined based on the price charged when sold separately or when renewed.
Unbilled receivables include cost and gross profit earned in excess of billing.
Deferred revenues include unearned amounts received under maintenance and support services and billing in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts.

l. Right of return:
When a right of return exists, the Company defers its revenues until the expiration of the period in which returns are permitted.
m. Warranty:
The Company offers up to one year warranty for most of its products. The specific terms and conditions of those warranties vary depending upon the product sold and country in which the Company does business. The Company estimates the costs that may be incurred under its basic limited warranty, including parts and labor. The Company estimates the costs that may be incurred under its basic limited warranty and records a liability in the amount of such costs as the time product revenue is recognized. Factors that affect the Company’s warranty liability include the number of installed units, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims, and cost per claim. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary. As of December 31, 2005, warranty liability is not material.
n. Research and development cost:
SFAS No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed,” requires capitalization of certain software development costs, subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility. Based on the Company’s product development process, technological feasibility is established upon the completion of a working model or a detailed program design. Research and development costs incurred in the process of developing product improvements or new products, are generally charged to expenses as incurred, when applicable. Significant costs incurred by the Company between completion of the working model or a detailed program design and the point at which the product is ready for general release, have been capitalized. Capitalized software costs will be amortized by the greater of the amount computed using the: (i) ratio that current gross revenues from sales of the software bears to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues from sales of that software, or (ii) the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the product (two to five years). The Company assesses the recoverability of this intangible asset on a regular basis by determining whether the amortization of the asset over its remaining life can be recovered through undiscounted future operating cash flows from the specific software product sold. Based on its most recent analyses, management believes that no impairment of capitalized software development costs exists as of December 31, 2005
o. Income taxes:
The Company and its subsidiaries account for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS No. 109”). This Statement prescribes the use of the liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liability account balances are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company and its subsidiaries provide a valuation allowance, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to its estimated realizable value.

p. Concentrations of credit risk:
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company and its subsidiaries to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, restricted collateral deposit and restricted held-to-maturity securities, trade receivables and available for sale marketable securities. Cash and cash equivalents are invested mainly in U.S. dollar deposits with major Israeli and U.S. banks. Such deposits in the U.S. may be in excess of insured limits and are not insured in other jurisdictions. Management believes that the financial institutions that hold the Company’s investments are financially sound and, accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to these investments.
The trade receivables of the Company and its subsidiaries are mainly derived from sales to customers located primarily in the United States, Europe and Israel. Management believes that credit risks are moderated by the diversity of its end customers and geographical sales areas. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition. An allowance for doubtful accounts is determined with respect to those accounts that the Company has determined to be doubtful of collection.
The Company’s available for sale marketable securities and held-to-maturity securities include investments in debentures of U.S. and Israeli corporations and state and local governments. Management believes that those corporations and states are institutions that are financially sound, that the portfolio is well diversified, and accordingly, that minimal credit risk exists with respect to these marketable securities.
The Company and its subsidiaries had no off-balance-sheet concentration of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, option contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements.
q. Basic and diluted net loss per share:
Basic net loss per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each year. Diluted net loss per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each year, plus dilutive potential shares of common stock considered outstanding during the year, in accordance with Statement of Financial Standards No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.”
All outstanding stock options and warrants have been excluded from the calculation of the diluted net loss per common share because all such securities are anti-dilutive for all periods presented. The total weighted average number of shares related to the outstanding options and warrants excluded from the calculations of diluted net loss per share was 2,563,918, 2,250,154 and 1,585,301 for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
r. Accounting for stock-based compensation
The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB No. 25”) and Interpretation No. 44 “Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation” in accounting for its employee stock option plans. Under APB No. 25, when the exercise price of the Company’s share options is less than the market price of the underlying shares on the date of grant, compensation expense is recognized. Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS No. 123”), pro-forma information regarding net income and net income per share is required, and has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options under the fair value method of SFAS No. 123.
AROTECH CORPORATION AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
The Company applies SFAS No. 123 and Emerging Issue Task Force No. 96-18 “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services” (“EITF 96-18”) with respect to options issued to non-employees. SFAS No. 123 requires use of an option valuation model to measure the fair value of the options at the grant date.
The fair value for the options to employees was estimated at the date of grant, using the Black-Scholes Option Valuation Model, with the following weighted-average assumptions: risk-free interest rates of 4.28%, 3.63% and 2.54% for 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively; a dividend yield of 0.0% for each of those years; a volatility factor of the expected market price of the common stock of 0.76 for 2005, 0.81 for 2004 and 0.67 for 2003; and a weighted-average expected life of the option of three years for 2005, and five years for 2004 and 2003.
The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share, assuming that the Company had applied the fair value recognition provision of SFAS No. 123 on its stock-based employee compensation:
| | Year ended December 31, | |
| | 2005 | | 2004 | | 2003 | |
Net loss as reported | | $ | (24,043,411 | ) | $ | (9,042,313 | ) | $ | (9,237,621 | ) |
Add: Stock-based compensation expenses included in reported net loss | | | 674,712 | | | 831,626 | | | 8,286 | |
Deduct: Stock-based compensation expenses determined under fair value method for all awards | | | (2,461,787 | ) | | (2,741,463 | ) | | (1,237,558 | ) |
| | $ | (25,830,486 | ) | $ | (10,952,150 | ) | $ | (10,466,893 | ) |
Loss per share: | | | | | | | | | | |
Basic and diluted, as reported | | $ | (4.09 | ) | $ | (2.48 | ) | $ | (3.45 | ) |
Diluted, pro forma | | $ | (4.40 | ) | $ | (2.19 | ) | $ | (3.77 | ) |
s. Fair value of financial instruments:
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company and its subsidiaries in estimating their fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted collateral deposit and restricted held-to-maturity securities, trade receivables, short-term bank credit, and trade payables approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of such instruments.
The fair value of available for sale marketable securities is based on the quoted market price.

NOTE 2:– SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
Long-terms promissory notes are estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current interest rates for loans or similar terms and maturities. The carrying amount of the long-term liabilities approximates their fair value.
t. Severance pay:
The Company’s liability for severance pay is calculated pursuant to Israeli severance pay law based on the most recent salary of the employees multiplied by the number of years of employment as of the balance sheet date. Israeli employees are entitled to one month’s salary for each year of employment, or a portion thereof. The Company’s liability for all of its employees is fully provided by monthly deposits with severance pay funds, insurance policies and by an accrual. The value of these policies is recorded as an asset in the Company’s balance sheet.
In addition and according to certain employment agreements, the Company is obligated to provide for a special severance pay in addition to amounts due to certain employees pursuant to Israeli severance pay law. The Company has made a provision for this special severance pay in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 106, “Employer’s Accounting for Post Retirement Benefits Other than Pensions.” As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the accumulated severance pay in that regard amounted to $1,732,955 and $1,642,801, respectively.
Pursuant to the terms of the employment agreement between the Company and its Chief Executive Officer, funds to secure payment of the Chief Executive Officer’s contractual severance are to be deposited in a Rabbi Trust for the benefit of the Chief Executive Officer, with payments to the Rabbi Trust to be made pursuant to an agreed-upon schedule. As of December 31, 2005, the balance of this Rabbi Trust was $454,859. Pursuant to the terms of the Rabbi Trust, funds in the Rabbi Trust continue to be owned by the Company, which benefits from all gains and bears the risk of all losses resulting from investments of Rabbi Trust funds.
The deposited funds include profits 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 surrendered value of these policies and includes immaterial profits.
Severance expenses for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 amounted to $639,952, $460,178 and $219,857, respectively.
u. Advertising costs:
The Company and its subsidiaries expense advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 was approximately $149,781, $13,271 and $34,732, respectively.
v. New accounting pronouncements:
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payments” (“SFAS 123(R)”), which is a revision of FASB No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”). Generally, the approach in SFAS 123(R) is similar to the approach described in Statement 123. However, SFAS 123 permitted, but not required, share-based payments to employees to be recognized based on their fair values while SFAS 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees to be recognized based on their fair values. SFAS 123(R) also revises, clarifies and expands guidance in several areas, including measuring fair value, classifying an award as equity or as a liability and attributing compensation cost to reporting periods. The new standard will be effective for the Company in the first interim period beginning after December 15, 2005.
AROTECH CORPORATION AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2:– SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
Statement 123(R) permits public companies to adopt its requirements using one of two methods:
1. A “modified prospective” method in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of Statement 123(R) for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of Statement 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of Statement 123(R) that remain unvested on the effective date.
2. A “modified retrospective” method which includes the requirements of the modified prospective method described above, but also permits entities to restate based on the amounts previously recognized under Statement 123 for purposes of pro forma disclosures either (a) all prior periods presented or (b) prior interim periods of the year of adoption.
The Company plans to adopt SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified prospective method.
As permitted by Statement 123, the Company currently accounts for share-based payments to employees using Opinion 25’s intrinsic value method and, as such, generally recognizes no compensation cost for employee stock options. Accordingly, the adoption of Statement 123(R)’s fair value method will have a significant impact on the Company’s result of operations, although it will have no impact on the Company’s overall financial position. The impact of adoption of Statement 123(R) cannot be predicted at this time because it will depend on levels of share-based payments granted in the future. However, had the Company adopted Statement 123(R) in prior periods, the impact of that standard would have approximated the impact of Statement 123 as described in the disclosure of pro forma net income and earnings per share in Note 2.r. above to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Statement 123(R) also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as required under current literature.
In March 2005, the SEC released Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, “Share-Based Payment” (“SAB 107”). SAB 107 provides the SEC staff position regarding the application of SFAS No. 123R. SAB 107 contains interpretive guidance related to the interaction between SFAS No. 123R and certain SEC rules and regulations, as well as provides the Staff’s views regarding the valuation of share-based payment arrangements for public companies. SAB 107 also highlights the importance of disclosures made related to the accounting for share-based payment transactions. The Company expects that the adoption of SAB 107 will have an impact on its results of operations and net earnings per share as the Company will be required to expense the fair value of all share-based payments.

In May 2005, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 154 (“FAS 154”), “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections,” a replacement of APB No. 20,”Accounting Changes” and FAS No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements.” FAS 154 provides guidance on the accounting for and reporting of accounting changes and error corrections. APB Opinion 20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. FAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle unless it is impracticable. FAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company is currently assessing the impact of FAS 154 on its results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.
In November 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 151, “Inventory Costs, an Amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4.” (“SFAS No. 151”). SFAS No. 151 amends Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 43, Chapter 4, to clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight handling costs and wasted materials (spoilage) should be recognized as current-period charges. In addition, SFAS No. 151 requires that the allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. SFAS No. 151 is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company does not expect that the adoption of SFAS No. 151 will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations
In November 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) Financial Accounting Standard (“FAS”) 115-1 and FAS 124-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments” (“FSP 115-1”), which provides guidance on determining when investments in certain debt and equity securities are considered impaired, whether that impairment is other-than-temporary, and on measuring such impairment loss. FSP 115-1 also includes accounting considerations subsequent to the recognition of an other-than temporary impairment and requires certain disclosures about unrealized losses that have not been recognized as other-than-temporary impairments. FSP 115-1 is required to be applied to reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005 and is required to be adopted by the Company in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP 115-1 to have a significant effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

The unrealized losses in the Company’s investments were caused by interest rate increases. It is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost of the Company’s investment. Based on the immaterial severity of the impairments and the obligation of the Company to hold these investments until maturity, the bonds were not considered to be other than temporarily impaired at December 31, 2004.

e. Litigation and other claims:
As of December 31, 2005, there were no pending legal proceedings to which the Company was a party, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to its business, except as follows:
1. In December 2004, AoA filed an action against a U.S. government defense agency, seeking approximately $2.2 million in damages for alleged improper termination of a contract. In its answer, the government agency counterclaimed, seeking approximately $2.1 million in reprocurement expenses. AoA is preparing its answer to the counterclaim. At this stage in the proceedings, the Company and its legal advisors cannot determine with any certainty whether AoA will have any liability and, if so, the extent of that liability.
2. In the beginning of 2005 a competitor of FAAC brought an action against FAAC and a municipal transport agency, alleging, inter alia, that the municipal transport agency and FAAC have conspired to violate federal and state antitrust laws and have engaged in unfair competition with respect to this competitor. The competitor seeks unspecified monetary damages from FAAC and the municipal transport agency and injunctive relief. A motion to dismiss brought by FAAC and the municipal transport agency is pending. At this stage in the proceedings, the Company and its legal advisors cannot determine with any certainty whether FAAC will have any liability and, if so, the extent of that liability.
3. The Company has received a preliminary indication that there may be a dispute regarding the amount that it owes the former shareholders of FAAC Incorporated in respect of their earnout for 2005. Pursuant to the purchase agreement and a side letter, the Company is obligated to pay the former shareholders of FAAC an amount equal to “the net income realized by FAAC Incorporated from the Stryker Driver Simulator Program with the U.S. Army.” Subsequently, the U.S. Army added additional programs, all of which it classified generally as the “Common Driver Training Program” (CDT). The former shareholders of FAAC have indicated their belief that the 2005 earnout is due on the entire CDT program, which would equal an additional amount of $3.5 million. The Company, on advice of counsel, takes the position that the 2005 earnout is due only on the Stryker part of the CDT program, relying on the specific language of the side letter. While this is a factual issue as to which there can be no clear answer, the Company believes it has the stronger argument in this matter. Based on the Company’s and its counsel’s position, the Company accrued the amount of $603,764 in respect of 2005 earnout as of December 31, 2005.

NOTE 12:- CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES AND DETACHABLE WARRANTS (Cont.)
Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company granted the investors (i) a second position security interest in the stock of MDT Armor Corporation, IES Interactive Training, Inc. and M.D.T. Protective Industries, Ltd. (junior to the security interest of the holders of the Company’s 8% secured convertible debentures due September 30, 2006)and in the assets of FAAC Incorporated (junior to a bank that extends to FAAC Incorporated a $5 million line of credit) and in any stock that the Company acquires in future acquisitions, and (ii) a first position security interest in the assets of all of the Company’s other active United States subsidiaries. The Company’s active United States subsidiaries are also acting as guarantors of the Company’s obligations under the Notes.
As of December 31, 2005, principal amount of $17.0 million remained outstanding under these convertible notes.
The Notes are convertible at the investors’ option at a fixed conversion price of $14.00. The Notes bear interest at a rate equal to six month LIBOR plus 6% per annum, subject to a floor of 10% and a cap of 12.5%. The Company will repay the principal amount of the Notes over a period of two and one-half years, with the principal amount being amortized in twelve payments payable at the Company’s option in cash and/or stock, provided certain conditions are met. In the event the Company elects to make such payments in stock, the price used to determine the number of shares to be issued will be calculated using an 8% discount to the average trading price of the Company’s common stock during 17 of the 20 consecutive trading days ending two days before the payment date.
As a further part of the Securities Purchase Agreement dated September 29, 2005, the Company issued warrants, which are not exercisable for the six month period following closing, to purchase up to 375,000 shares of common stock (30% warrant coverage) at an exercise price of $15.40 per share.

The Company has also considered EITF No. 05-2, “The Meaning of Conventional Convertible Debt Instrument” in EITF Issue No. 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock.”. Accordingly, the Company has concluded that these convertible notes would be considered as conventional convertible debt and therefore EITF 00-19 do not apply to them.
As to EITF 00-19, since the terms of the warrants referred to above provided that upon exercise of a warrant the Company could issue only stock that had been registered with the SEC (which occurred in December 2005) and therefore freely tradable, in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force No 00-19 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock,” their fair value was recorded as a liability at the closing date. Such fair value was remeasured at each subsequent cut-off date. The fair value of these warrants was remeasured as at December 31, 2005 using the Black-Scholes pricing model assuming a risk free interest rate of 3.87%, a volatility factor of 64%, dividend yields of 0% and a contractual life of approximately nine months. The change in the fair value of the warrants between the date of the grant and December 31, 2005 in the amount of $377,803 has been recorded as finance income.
During 2005, the Company recorded expenses of $110,771 attributable to amortization of the deferred debt discount arising from the fair value allocation of the warrants.
The Company’s Notes provide for repayment in twelve equal installments. Installments may be paid in cash or, at the Company’s option (subject to certain conditions), in stock. If the Company elects to make a payment in stock, it must give notice 24 trading days prior to the date the installment is due, and issue shares of its stock to the holders of the Note based on a conversion price of $14.00. Thereafter, based on a price of 92% of the average price of the stock during 17 of the trading days between the notice date and the installment payment date, the Company issues additional shares based on the amount, if any, by which the average price of the stock was less than $14.00. In December 2005, pursuant to the terms of the Notes, the Company made the first installment of a scheduled $1,458,333 principal repayment in shares of common stock by requesting its stock transfer agent to issue a total of 104,167 shares to the holders of the notes. Of these shares, 82,976 shares were issued prior to December 31, 2005, which at the share value assigned pursuant to the procedures established in the notes was equal to repayment of $453,051, and the remaining 21,191 shares were, for technical reasons, issued in early January 2006.
e. The Company’s debt agreements contain customary affirmative and negative operations covenants that limit the discretion of its management with respect to certain business matters and place restrictions on it, including obligations on the Company’s part to preserve and maintain assets and restrictions on its ability to incur or guarantee debt, to merge with or sell its assets to another company, and to make significant capital expenditures without the consent of the debenture holders, as well as granting to the Company’s investors a right of first refusal on any future financings, except for underwritten public offerings in excess of $30 million. Management does not believe that this right of first refusal will materially limit the Company’s ability to undertake future financings.

On December 29, 2005, the Company accelerated vesting of 39,810 of its outstanding unvested stock options to make such options immediately vested and exercisable. The Company’s decision to accelerate the vesting of those options and to grant fully vested options was based primarily upon the issuance of SFAS No. 123R, which will require the Company to treat all unvested stock options as compensation expense effective January 1, 2006. The Company believes that the acceleration of vesting of those options will enable the Company to avoid recognizing stock-based compensation expense associated with these options in future periods. Additional reasons for the fully vested grant and for the acceleration were to make the options more attractive to the recipients, and to avoid discrimination between groups of option holders, respectively.

c. In connection with the grant of stock options to consultants, the Company recorded stock compensation expenses totaling $0, $0 and $29,759 for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and included these amounts in marketing and general and administrative expenses.
3. Dividends:
In the event that cash dividends are declared in the future, such dividends will be paid in U.S. dollars. The Company does not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
4. Treasury Stock:
Treasury stock is the Company’s common stock that has been issued and subsequently reacquired. The acquisition of common stock is accounted for under the cost method, and presented as reduction of stockholders’ equity.
h. Reverse split:
The Company’s stockholders approved a one-for-fourteen reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock on June 19, 2006, which was effected on June 21, 2006. As a result of the reverse stock split, every fourteen shares of Arotech common stock were combined into one share of common stock; any fractional shares created by the reverse stock split were eliminated. The reverse stock split affected all of Arotech’s common stock, stock options, warrants and convertible debt outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of the reverse stock split. All shares of common stock, options, warrants, option and warrant exercise prices, convertible debt conversion prices and per share date included in these financial statements for all periods presented have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this one-for-fourteen reverse split.
NOTE 14:- INCOME TAXES
a. Taxation of U.S. parent company (Arotech) and other U.S. subsidiaries:
As of December 31, 2005, Arotech has operating loss carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes of approximately $26 million, which are available to offset future taxable income, if any, expiring in 2009 through 2025. Utilization of U.S net operating losses may be subject to substantial annual limitations due to the “change in ownership” provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and similar state provisions. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating loses before utilization.

b. Israeli subsidiary (Epsilor):
Tax benefits under the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959 (the “Investments Law”):
Currently, Epsilor is operating under three programs as follows:
1. Program one:
Epsilor’s expansion program of its existing enterprise in Dimona was granted the status of an “approved enterprise” under the Investments Law and was entitled to investments grants from the state of Israel in the amount of 24% on property and equipment located at its Dimona plant.
The approved expansion program was in the amount of approximately $350,000. Epsilor effectively operated the program during 1999 and is entitled to the tax benefits available under the Investments Law.
Taxable income derived from the approved enterprise is subject to a reduced tax rate during seven years beginning from the year in which taxable income is first earned (tax exemption for the first two-year period and 25% tax rate for the five remaining years).
Those benefits are limited to 12 years from the year that the enterprise began operations, or 14 years from the year in which the approval was granted, whichever is earlier. Hence, this approved program expired in 2005.
2. Program two:
Epsilor’s expansion program of its existing enterprise in Dimona was granted the status of an “approved enterprise” under the Investments Law and was entitled to investments grants from the State of Israel in the amount of 24% on property and equipment located at its Dimona plant.
The approved expansion program is in the amount of approximately $600,000. Epsilor effectively operated the program during 2002, and is entitled to the tax benefits available under the Investments Law (commencing from 2003).
Taxable income derived from the approved enterprise is subject to a reduced tax rate during seven years beginning from the year in which taxable income is first earned (tax exemption for the first two-year period and 25% tax rate for the five remaining years).
Those benefits are limited to 12 years from the year that the enterprise began operations, or 14 years from the year in which the approval was granted, whichever is earlier. Hence, this approved program will expire in 2009.
3. Program three:
AROTECH CORPORATION AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In U.S. dollars
NOTE 14:- INCOME TAXES (Cont.)
Epsilor’s expansion program of its existing enterprise in Dimona was granted the status of an “approved enterprise” under the Investments Law, and is entitled to investments grants from the State of Israel in the amount of 32% on property and equipment located at its Dimona plant.
The approved expansion program is in the amount of approximately $945,000. This program has not yet received final approval.
Taxable income derived from the approved enterprise is subject to a reduced tax rate during seven years beginning from the year in which taxable income is first earned (tax exemption for the first two-year period and 25% tax rate for the five remaining years).
Those benefits are limited to 12 years from the year that the enterprise began operations, or 14 years from the year in which the approval was granted, whichever is earlier.
The main tax benefits available to Epsilor are:
a) Reduced tax rates:
As stated above for each specific program
b) Accelerated depreciation:
Epsilor is entitled to claim accelerated depreciation in respect of machinery and equipment used by the “Approved Enterprise” for the first five years of operation of these assets.
Income from sources other than the “Approved Enterprise” during the benefit period will be subject to tax at the regular corporate tax rate of 34%.
If retained tax-exempt profits attributable to the “approved enterprise” are distributed, they would be taxed at the corporate tax rate applicable to such profits as if Epsilor had not elected the alternative system of benefits, currently 25% for an “approved enterprise.”
Dividends paid from the profits of an approved enterprise are subject to tax at the rate of 15% in the hands of their recipient.
As of December 31, 2005 there are no tax exempt profits earned by Epsilor’s “approved enterprises” by Israel law that will be distributed as a dividend and accordingly no deferred tax liability was recorded as of December 31, 2005. Furthermore, management has indicated that it has no intention of declaring any dividend.
On April 1, 2005, an amendment to the Investment Law came into effect (“the Amendment”) and has significantly changed the provisions of the Investment Law. The Amendment limits the scope of enterprises which may be approved by the Investment Center by setting criteria for the approval of a facility as a Privileged Enterprise, such as provisions generally requiring that at least 25% of the Privileged Enterprise’s income will be derived from export. Additionally, the Amendment enacted major changes in the manner in which tax benefits are awarded under the Investment Law so that companies no longer require Investment Center approval in order to qualify for tax benefits.

NOTE 14:- INCOME TAXES (Cont.)
However, the Investment Law provides that terms and benefits included in any certificate of approval already granted will remain subject to the provisions of the law as they were on the date of such approval. Therefore, the existing Approved Enterprise of the Israeli subsidiary’s will generally not be subject to the provisions of the Amendment. As a result of the Amendment, tax-exempt income generated under the provisions of the Amended Investment Law, will subject the Company to taxes upon distribution or liquidation and the Company may be required to record deferred tax liability with respect to such tax-exempt income. As of December 31, 2005, the Company did not generate income under the provision of the amended Investment Law.
c. Other tax information about the Israeli subsidiaries:
1. Measurement of results for tax purposes under the Income Tax Law (Inflationary Adjustments), 1985
Results for tax purposes are measured in real terms of earnings in NIS after certain adjustments for increases in the Consumer Price Index. As explained in Note 2.b., the financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars. The difference between the annual change in the Israeli consumer price index and in the NIS/dollar exchange rate causes a difference between taxable income and the income before taxes shown in the financial statements. In accordance with paragraph 9(f) of SFAS No. 109, EFL, Epsilor and MDT have not provided deferred income taxes on this difference between the reporting currency and the tax bases of assets and liabilities.
2. Tax benefits under the Law for the Encouragement of Industry (Taxation), 1969:
EFL and Epsilor are “industrial companies,” as defined by this law and, as such, are entitled to certain tax benefits, mainly accelerated depreciation, as prescribed by regulations published under the inflationary adjustments law, the right to claim amortization of know-how, patents and certain other intangible property rights as deductions for tax purposes.
3. Tax rates applicable to income from other sources:
Income from sources other than the “Approved Enterprise,” is taxed at the regular rate of 34%. See also Note 14.e.
4. Tax loss carryforwards:
As of December 31, 2005, EFL has operating and capital loss carryforwards for Israeli tax purposes of approximately $82 million, which are available, indefinitely, to offset future taxable income.
e. Tax rates applicable to the income of the Group companies:
Until December 31, 2003, the regular tax rate applicable to income of companies (which are not entitled to benefits due to “approved enterprise”, as described above) was 36%. In June 2004, an amendment to the Income Tax Ordinance (No. 140 and Temporary Provision), 2004 was passed by the “Knesset” (Israeli parliament) and on July 25, 2005, another law was passed, the amendment to the Income Tax Ordinance (No. 147) 2005, according to which the corporate tax rate is to be progressively reduced to the following tax rates: 2004 - 35%, 2005 - 34%, 2006 - 31%, 2007 - 29%, 2008 - 27%, 2009 - 26%, 2010 and thereafter - 25%.

f. Deferred income taxes:
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets resulting from tax loss carryforward are as follows:
| | December 31, | |
| | 2005 | | 2004 | |
Operating loss carryforward (1) | | $ | 32,326,283 | | $ | 32,532,998 | |

| | $ | 32,326,283 | | $ | 32,532,998 | |
The Company and its subsidiaries provided valuation allowances in respect of deferred tax assets resulting from tax loss carryforwards and other temporary differences. Management currently believes that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets related to the loss carryforwards and other temporary differences will not be realized. The change in the valuation allowance as of December 31, 2005 was $757,801.

NOTE 16:– SEGMENT INFORMATION
a. General:
The Company and its subsidiaries operate primarily in three business segments (see Note 1.a. for a brief description of the Company’s business) and follow the requirements of SFAS No. 131.
Prior to its purchase of FAAC, Epsilor and AoA, the Company had managed its business in two reportable segments organized on the basis of differences in its related products and services. With the acquisition of FAAC and Epsilor early in 2004 and AoA in August of 2004, the Company reorganized into three segments: Simulation and Training (formerly known as Simulation and Security); Armor; and Battery and Power Systems. As a result the Company restated information previously reported in order to comply with new segment reporting.
The Company’s reportable operating segments have been determined in accordance with the Company’s internal management structure, which is organized based on operating activities. The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company evaluates performance based upon two primary factors, one is the segment’s operating income and the other is based on the segment’s contribution to the Company’s future strategic growth.
