Our Audit committee has approved all audit and non-audit services rendered by our independent public accountants, Kost Forer Gabbay&Kasierer, a member firm of Ernst & Young Global. Pre-approval of an audit or non-audit service may be given as general pre-approval, as part of the audit committee’s approval of the scope of the engagement of our independent auditors, or on an individual basis. Any proposed services exceeding general pre-approved levels also require specific pre-approval by our audit committee. The Audit Committee has not approved prohibited non-audit functions defined in section 201 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act or the rules of the Securities and Exchange Committee, and the Audit Committee considers whether proposed services are compatible with the independence of the public accountants. All the services provided by our independent accountants in 2004 were approved by our Audit Committee.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders of
NEXUS TELOCATION SYSTEMS LTD.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Nexus Telocation Systems Ltd. (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity (deficiency) and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of two subsidiaries, which statements reflect total assets constituting 9.6% and 31.8% as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and total revenues constituting 16.6% and 46.11%, of the related consolidated totals for the years then ended, respectively. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to amounts included for those subsidiaries, is based solely on the reports 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. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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 and the reports of the other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of 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, 2004 and 2003 and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

| In accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 18, “The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock” the Company retroactively adopted the equity method of accounting for its initial investment in Shagrir Motor Vehicle Systems (14%), on the acquisition of its controlling interest in Shagrir Motor Vehicle Systems. The effect of Shagrir Motor Vehicle Systems’ prior period losses has been accounted for as a reduction in shareholders equity in the balance sheet as of January 1, 2002. |
| c. | On February 28, 2005, the Company announced the closing of the transaction for the purchase of the activities, the assets and liabilities of Shagrir Towing Services Ltd. and Shagrir (1985) Ltd. (a wholly owned subsidiary) by the Company’s subsidiary Shagrir Motor Vehicle Systems, in consideration for approximately NIS 200,000 thousand. Shagrir Towing Services Ltd. is one of the leading companies in Israel in the field of automobile repair services and towing services. Shagrir Motor Vehicle Systems funded the acquisition as follows: |
| 1. | NIS 100,000 thousand ($ 22,952 as of February 28, 2005) were funded by a loan provided to Shagrir Motor Vehicle Systems by Bank Hapoalim B.M.. NIS 30,000 thousand represent a credit line for a period of two years with an interest rate of Prime + 0.5%. NIS 70,000 thousand were provided for a period of 8 years (an interest rate of 7.39% with respect to NIS 35,000 thousand and an interest rate of 5.5% and a linkage to the Israeli CPI with respect to the additional NIS 35,000 thousand). The Company granted to Bank Hapoalim B.M. a warrant to purchase up to 10,000,000 Ordinary shares of the Company, at a price per share of $ 0.18. |
| Under the credit facility from Bank Hapoalim B.M., Shagrir Motor Vehicle Systems is required to meet financial covenants, as described in the commitment letter, commencing December 31, 2005. |
| 2. | NIS 36,400 thousand ($ 8,354 as of February 28, 2005) were funded by a group of investors lead by Gandyr Investments Ltd. and Egged Holdings Ltd. (Gandyr Investments Ltd. and Egged Holdings Ltd. will be referred to as “the investors”). Shagrir Motor Vehicle Systems raised from the investors cash in consideration for the issuance of a convertible debt. The debt is for a period of 10 years, denominated in NIS linked to the Israeli CPI and bears annual interest of 4% for the first two years and 7.5% for the remaining period. The debt is convertible during the first 2 years into shares of the Company (at $ 0.18 per share) or into shares of Shagrir Motor Vehicle Systems (60% of the conversion rights at NIS 729 per share and 40% of the conversion rights at NIS 729-937 per share according to the exercise date), at the discretion of the debt holders (“the Embedded Call Option”). If the investors do not convert the debt into shares of Shagrir Motor Vehicle Systems or shares of the Company, Shagrir Motor Vehicle Systems, can, at the end of the first two-year period, force the conversion of the debt (up to 60% of the conversion rights) into Shagrir Motor Vehicle Systems’ shares at NIS 729 per share (“the Embedded Put Option”). |

| g. | Four customers accounted for 31% of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ revenues for the year ended December 31, 2004, three customers accounted for 91% of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ revenues for the year ended December 31, 2003 and three customers accounted for 80% of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ revenues for the year ended December 31, 2002 (see Note 15b(3)). |
| h. | The Company relies on a single-source supplier for the manufacture of its end units transceiver (RF modem with inputs and outputs), that is installed within a vehicle or may be installed at any remote object. The Company does not have manufacturing facilities for its end unit devices. Most of the components of its systems are manufactured for the Company by independent manufacturers outside of Israel and are assembled by a turn-key subcontractor located in Israel. |
NOTE 2: | – | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”). |
| a. | The significant accounting policies applied in the annual consolidated financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2003, are applied consistently in these consolidated financial statements. However, in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 18, “The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock”, the Company retroactively adopted the equity method of accounting for its initial investment in Shagrir Motor Vehicle Systems (14%), on the acquisition of its controlling interest in Shagrir Motor Vehicle Systems. The effect of Shagrir Motor Vehicle Systems’ prior period losses has been accounted for as reduction in shareholders equity in the balance sheet as of January 1, 2002. |
| 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. |
| c. | Financial statements in U.S. dollars: |
| The majority of the Company’s revenues is generated in or linked to U.S. dollars (“dollar”). In addition, a substantial portion of the Company’s costs is incurred in dollars. The Company’s management believes that the dollar is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates. Thus, the functional and reporting currency of the Company is the dollar. |
| The dollar is also considered to be the functional currency of Pointer Mexico. |

NOTE 2: | – | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) |
| Accordingly, monetary accounts maintained in currencies other than the dollar are remeasured into dollars in accordance with SFAS No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation”. All transaction gains and losses of the remeasured monetary balance sheet items are reflected in the statement of operations as financial income or expense, as appropriate. |
| For Tracsat, whose functional currency has been determined to be its local currency, the Argentine peso, and for Shagrir Motor Vehicle Systems whose functional currency has been determined to be its local currency, the new Israeli shekel (“NIS”), assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates and statement of operations items are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the year. Such translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component, other comprehensive income, in shareholders’ equity (deficiency). |
| d. | Principles of consolidation: |
| The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances including profits from intercompany sales not yet realized outside the Company, have been eliminated upon consolidation. |
| Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash with maturities of three months or less at the date acquired. |
| f. | Short-term investments: |
| Short-term investments in marketable securities are presented at their market price. |
| Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined using the “moving average” method. Inventory consists of raw materials, parts and supplies and finished products. Inventory write-offs are provided to cover risks arising from slow-moving items, technological obsolescence, excess inventories, and for market prices lower than cost. In 2004, 2003 and 2002, the Company and its subsidiaries wrote off approximately $ 479, $ 111 and $ 324, respectively. The write-offs are included in cost of revenues. |

| i. | Goodwill and other intangible assets: |
| Goodwill reflects the excess of the purchase price of the acquired subsidiary over the fair value of net assets acquired. Pursuant to FAS 142, “Goodwill and Other Assets”, goodwill is not amortized but rather tested for impairment at least annually. As of December 31, 2004, the Company has determined that no impairment with respect to goodwill exists. |
| Intangible assets consist of the acquired patents, customer list and brand name. Intangible assets 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. Intangible assets are stated at amortization cost. |
| Patents are amortized over an eight-year period. |
| The customer list is amortized over a five-year period. The brand name is amortized over a two-year period, two thirds in the first year, and one third in the second year. |
| j. | Impairment of long lived assets: |
| The Company’s long lived assets are reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS 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 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. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. No impairment losses have been identified as of December 31, 2004. |

| k. | Provision for warranty: |
| The Company and its subsidiaries generally grant a one-year to three-year warranty for their products. The Company and its subsidiaries estimate the costs that may be incurred under its basic limited warranty and records a liability in the amount of such costs at the time which product revenue is recognized. Factors that affect the warranty liability include the number of installed units, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims and cost per claim. The Company and its subsidiaries periodically assess the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjust the amounts as necessary. |

| The Company and its subsidiaries generate revenues from sales of systems and products, sales of Stolen Vehicle Recovery services and subscriber fees for location services. To a lesser extent, revenues are also derived from technical support services and from royalties. |
| In general, revenues from systems and products are recognized in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104, “Revenue Recognition” (“SAB No. 104”), when delivery has occurred, persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, the vendor’s fee is fixed or determinable, no further obligation exists and collectability is probable. |
| Subscriber fees are recognized over the term of the agreement. |
| Revenues from Stolen Vehicle Recovery services are recognized upon success, when the related stolen vehicle is recovered, and such recovery is approved by the customer or ratably over the term of the agreement. |
| In November 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus on Issue No. 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables” (“EITF 00-21”). EITF 00-21 provides guidance on how to account for arrangements that involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets. The provisions of EITF 00-21 are applied to revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. |

NOTE 2: | – | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) |
| In applying EITF 00-21, separate contracts with the same entity or related parties that are entered into at or near the same time are presumed to have been negotiated as a package and should, therefore, be evaluated as a single arrangement in considering whether there are one or more units of accounting. That presumption may be overcome if there is sufficient evidence to the contrary. EITF 00-21 also addresses how arrangement consideration should be measured and allocated to the separate units of accounting in the arrangement. |
| Certain agreements include a contractual obligation for installation of systems. When such installation is requested by the customer, the entire revenues are deferred until installation is performed. |
| The Company considers the sale of products and subscriber fees to be separate units of accounting. |
| Certain agreements include revenues from installation of products as well as revenues from sales of Stolen Vehicle Recovery services or subscriber fees that are considered to be one unit of accounting. In those cases revenues from installation are deferred and recognized over the estimated duration of the service contracts. |
| The Company is entitled to royalties from one of its customers, which are based on the number of the customer’s subscribers. The royalties are recognized when such royalties are reported to the Company. |
| Generally, the Company does not grant rights of return. The Company follows SFAS No. 48, “Revenue Recognition when Right of Return Exists”. Based on the Company’s experience, no provision for returns was recorded. |
| m. | Research and development costs: |
| Research and development costs, net of grants received, are charged to expenses as incurred. |
| Grants from the European community are recognized at the time the Company is entitled to such grants, on the basis of the related costs incurred, and included as a deduction from research and development costs. |
| Advertising expenses are charged to the statement of operations as incurred. Advertising expenses for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 were $ 177, $ 6 and $ 16, respectively. |

| The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS No. 109”). SFAS No. 109 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 provides a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to their estimated realizable values. |
| q. | Basic and diluted net earning (loss) per share: |
| Basic and diluted net earnings (loss) per share are computed based on the weighted average number of Ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Diluted net earnings (loss) per share further include the dilutive effect of stock options outstanding during the year, in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share” (“SFAS No. 128”). |
| Options and warrants outstanding to purchase approximately 95,794,986, 75,813,588 and 1,368,731 Ordinary shares of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted net earnings (loss) per share, since they would have an anti-dilutive effect. |
| r. | Accounting for stock-based compensation: |
| The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Statement No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Options Issued to Employees” (“APB No. 25”) and FASB Interpretation No. 44, “Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation” (“FIN No. 44”) in accounting for its employee stock option plans. Under APB No. 25, when the exercise price of an employee stock option is equivalent to or above the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized. |
| The Company adopted the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure” (“SFAS No. 148”), which amended certain provisions of SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS No. 123”). The Company continues to apply the provisions of APB No. 25, in accounting for stock-based compensation. |
| Pro forma information regarding the Company’s net income (loss) and net earnings (loss) per share is required by SFAS No. 123 and has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options under the fair value method prescribed by SFAS No. 123. |

| s. | Concentrations of credit risk: |
| Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company and its subsidiaries to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of trade receivables. |
| Trade receivables include amounts billed to clients located mainly in Israel and South America. Management periodically evaluates the collectibility of these trade receivables to reflect the amounts estimated to be collectible. An allowance is determined in respect of specific debts whose collection, in management’s opinion, is doubtful. As for major customers, see Note 15b(3). |
| The Company and its subsidiaries have no off-balance-sheet concentration of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, option contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements. |

| The liability of the Company and its subsidiary in Israel for severance pay is calculated pursuant to Israel’s Severance Pay Law based on the most recent salary of the employees multiplied by the number of years of employment as of balance sheet date. Employees are entitled to one month’s salary for each year of employment, or a portion thereof. The liability for Company and its subsidiary in Israel is fully provided by monthly deposits with insurance policies and by an accrual. The value of these policies is recorded as an asset in the Company’s balance sheet. |
| 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 Israel’s 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 pay expenses for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 were $ 172, $ 143 and $ 166, respectively. |
| u. | Fair value of financial instruments: |
| The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company and its subsidiaries in estimating fair value disclosures for financial instruments: |
| The carrying amount reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, trade receivables, other accounts receivable, short-term bank credit, trade payables and other accounts payable approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities of such instruments. |
| Amounts recorded for long-term loans approximate fair values. The fair value was estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rates for similar type of borrowing arrangements. |
| v. | Impact of recently issued accounting standards: |
| On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”), which is a revision of SFAS 123. Generally, the approach in SFAS 123(R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS 123. However, SFAS 123 permitted, but did not require 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 Company expects to adopt SFAS 123(R) on January 1, 2006. |

NOTE 2: | – | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) |
| SFAS 123(R) permits companies to adopt its requirements using one of the following two methods: |
| 1. | The “modified prospective” method, in which compensation cost is recognized commencing with the effective date (i) based on the requirements of SFAS 123(R) for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (ii) based on the requirements of SFAS 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS 123(R) that remain unvested at the effective date. |
| 2. | The “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 SFAS 123, for purposes of pro forma disclosures all prior periods presented. |
| As permitted by SFAS 123, the Company currently accounts for share-based payments to employees using APB 25, the intrinsic value method, and, as such, recognizes no compensation cost for employee stock options. Accordingly, the adoption of the SFAS 123(R) fair value method will have significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, although it will have no impact on the Company’s overall financial position. The impact of the adoption of SFAS 123(R) cannot be predicted at this time, as it depends on levels of share-based payments for future grant. However, had the Company adopted SFAS 123(R) in prior periods, the impact of that Standard would have approximated the impact of SFAS 123, as described in the disclosure of the pro forma information above. |
| In March 2005, the SEC Staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB 107) to give guidance on implementation of SFAS 123(R) . |
| In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs, an Amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4” (“SFAS 151”). SFAS 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 151 requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on normal capacity of the production facilities. SFAS 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 151 will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations. |
| Certain financial statement data for prior years have been reclassified to conform to current year financial statement presentation. |
| The reclassification did not impact net income, working capital or cash flows from operations as previously reported. |

| 1. | On November 26, 2002, the Company filed a claim with the Tel-Aviv Magistrate’s Court for a permanent injunction against Bank Hapoalim B.M. and the China National Electronics Import Export Beijing Company (“CEIEC”). In the claim, the Company requested that the court prohibit Bank Hapoalim from paying CEIEC any amount, pursuant to a guarantee in the amount of $ 300 in favor of CEIEC provided to it in the framework of a transaction, and to prohibit CEIEC from requesting Bank Hapoalim to pay it any sums pursuant to the guarantee. The Company requested the injunction as a result of unlawful requests made by CEIEC that Bank Hapoalim will pay it the guarantee. Following a hearing, which CEIEC did not attend, on December 31, 2002, the Tel-Aviv Magistrates Court ruled in the Company’s favor and thereby permanently prohibited Bank Hapoalim from paying any funds to CEIEC pursuant to the guarantee and prohibited CEIEC from requesting Bank Hapoalim to pay it any funds pursuant to the guarantee. CEIEC commenced proceedings in China, against Bank Hapoalim, to which the Company is not a party, for the payment of the guarantee. In August 2004, Bank Hapoalim informed the Company that it may pay to CEIEC the guaranteed amount plus interest at a rate of 0.5% per week, commencing March 2002 and, in such an event, will request that the Company indemnify it for the amount paid. In light of the permanent injunction ordered in the Company’s favor in 2002 and without the Company’s knowledge of the exact nature of the legal proceedings underway between the bank and CEIEC, since it is not a party to these proceedings, based on the legal advisors’ opinion, the Company has defense claims rejecting any possible demands by Bank Hapoalim for indemnification. |

NOTE 10: | – | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (Cont.) |
| On March, 2005 the company filed a claim against CEIEC and another third party with China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission Beijing, China (“CIETAC”) for approximately $558 representing the damages caused to the company by the breach by CEIEC and the third party of the contract between the parties in respect of the transaction mentioned above. |
| On June, 2005 CEIEC and the third party filed a counter claim with CIETAC for repayment of $300 plus weekly interest of 0.5% (compounded from February 2002). The counter claim relates to the same amount that CEIEC claims from Bank Hapoalim B.M pursuant to the guarantee discussed above . Based on its legal advisors’ opinion, the Company has good defense claims rejecting any claim of CEIEC and the third party. Therefore, no provision was recorded in the financial statements in respect of the claims. |
| 2. | In September 2000, Tracsat entered into a 30-month contract with a third party. Pursuant to the contract Tracsat committed to order from the third party a minimum level of unit installations. In October 2001 and thereafter, Tracsat ceased to make minimum payments to the third party. A legal demand was presented against Tracsat. A provision amounting to $ 148 was recorded by the Company, representing management’s estimate, based on the opinion of its legal advisors, of expenses that might occur as a result of this demand. In October 2003 and August 2004, the Argentinean court ordered a levy in the amount of $ 114 on a bank account. |
| 3. | During 2002, 2003 and 2004, several claims were filed against Shagrir Motor Vehicle Systems by customers. The claims are in an amount aggregating to approximately $ 371. The substance of the claims is the malfunction of Shagrir Motor Vehicle Systems’ products, which occurred during the ordinary course of business. Management, based on the opinion of its attorneys, is of the opinion that no material costs will arise to Shagrir Motor Vehicle Systems in respect to these claims and, therefore, no provision was recorded in the financial statements in respect of the claims. |
| 4. | During May 2002, Shagrir Motor Vehicle Systems filed a claim against one of its customers in the amount of approximately $ 70 in respect of the breach of an agreement reached between the parties. The defendant filed a counterclaim in the amount of approximately $ 93, claiming that Shagrir Motor Vehicle Systems breached the aforesaid agreement. Management, based on the opinion of its attorneys, is of the opinion that no material costs will arise to Shagrir Motor Vehicle Systems in respect of this counterclaim and, therefore, no provision was recorded in the financial statements in respect of the counterclaim. |
| 5. | On January 20, 2004, a lawsuit in the amount of $ 162 was filed against Shagrir Motor Vehicle Systems and two additional defendants, alleging that a truck, in which a tracking system was installed, was stolen and was not tracked. The Court dismissed Shagrir Motor Vehicle Systems from this lawsuit. On September 9, 2004, the Company received a third party notice from one of the additional defendants, seeking indemnification or compensation from Shagrir Motor Vehicle Systems if the Court determines that it must pay compensation to the plaintiff in respect of the truck’s theft. |
| Management, based on the opinion of its attorneys, is of the opinion that no material costs will arise to Shagrir Motor Vehicle Systems in respect of these claims and, therefore, no provision was recorded in the financial statements in respect of these claims. |
| e. | The Company and DBSI Investment Ltd. (“DBSI”) (see Note 14) have entered into a management services agreement pursuant to which DBSI shall provide management services in consideration for annual management fees of $ 180 for a period of three years commencing on April 6, 2003. |

| *) | The Company and its subsidiaries have provided valuation allowances in respect of deferred tax assets resulting from tax loss carryforwards and other temporary differences. Since the Company and its subsidiaries have a history of losses, it is more likely than not that the deferred taxes regarding the losses carryforwards and other temporary differences will not be realized in the foreseeable future. |
| e. | Carryforward tax losses and deductions: |
| Carryforward tax losses of the Company totaled approximately $ 70,000 as of December 31, 2004. The carryforward tax losses have no expiration date. |
| Carryforward tax losses of Tracsat are approximately $ 2,315 as of December 31, 2004. The carryforward tax losses will expire from 2005 to 2008. |
| Carryforward tax losses of Shagrir Motor Vehicle Systems totaled approximately $ 22,000 as of December 31, 2004. The carryforward tax losses have no expiration date. |
| Carryforward tax losses of Pointer Mexico totaled approximately $ 195 as of December 31, 2004. The tax loss carryforwards can be offset in the following 10 fiscal years against taxable income. |
| f. | The main reconciling items between the statutory tax rate of the Company and the effective tax rate are the non-recognition of tax benefits from accumulated net operating losses carryforward and other temporary differences, due to the uncertainty of the realization of such tax benefits. |

AUDITORS’ REPORT
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF SHAGRIR TOWING SERVICES LTD.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets ofShagrir Towing Services Ltd.(hereinafter – the “Company”) and its subsidiary as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the board of directors and management of the Company. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
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 the board of directors and management of the Company, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the aforementioned consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the consolidated results of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Israel.
As explained in Note 2A, the financial statements as of December 31, 2004 and for the year then ended are presented in reported amounts, in accordance with the accounting standards of the Israeli Accounting Standards Board. The financial statements as of December 31, 2003 and for the years ended until that date are presented in values adjusted as of that date to reflect the changes in the general purchasing power of the Israeli currency, in accordance with pronouncements of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Israel.
Accounting principles generally accepted in Israel vary in certain significant respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Information relating to the nature and effect of such differences is presented in Note 20 to the consolidated financial statements.
Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to the contents of Note 1B to the financial statements regarding an agreement that was signed for the sale of the business operations of the Company and its subsidiary.

SHAGRIR TOWING SERVICES LTD. AND ITS CONSOLIDATED COMPANY
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT
| A. | Shagrir Towing Services Ltd. (hereafter: “the Company”) is owned and controlled jointly, in equal shares, by Delek Automotive Systems Ltd., Atara Investment Company Ltd., and Clal Insurance Company Ltd. The Company’s major operations are carried out through Shagrir (1985) Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary (hereinafter – the “Subsidiary”), a company engaged in the provision of towing and road-repair services to motor vehicles and in the provision of replacement vehicle services. |
| B. | Subsequent to the balance sheet date, on January 3, 2005, the Company and its subsidiary (hereinafter – “Shagrir”) entered into an agreement with Pointer (of Eden Telecom) Ltd. (hereinafter – the “Purchaser”), whereby the Purchaser would purchase from Shagrir all of the Shagrir’s goodwill in the area of towing and road-repair services and replacement vehicle services, including proprietary rights, the name “Shagrir”, its trademark, its database of existing customers, intangible rights and their related assets, as well as Shagrir’s commitments (all hereinafter – the “Operations”), as well as all of the assets and liabilities in connection with the Operations, as defined in the agreement (hereinafter- the “Net Assets”) (all hereinafter – the “Transaction”). |
| The consideration for the Transaction amounts to NIS 190 million, to be paid upon the consummation of the Transaction, as well as an additional amount equal to the carrying value of the Net Assets of Shagrir (hereinafter – the “Consideration”). Upon consummation of the Transaction, an advance of NIS 10 million shall be paid on account of the Net Assets, and following the consummation of the Transaction, the parties will make an accounting in respect of the Consideration for the Net Assets, following an arbitration process stipulated in the agreement. |
| An amount of NIS 40 million out of the Consideration will be financed through a loan (the “Loan”) to be granted by Shagrir to the Purchaser, against a second degree lien on all of the Purchaser’s rights to receive funds from the Clal and Phoenix insurance companies under the service agreements between the Purchaser and each of these two insurance companies. The Shagrir loan is linked to the ICPI and bears linked interest at a rate of 6.5% per annum (hereinafter – the “Shagrir Interest”). The Loan is repayable in 20 equal and consecutive quarterly payments (principal and interest), with the first payment on account of the Shagrir loan being due at the end of the twelve-month period following the date of consummation of the Transaction, and the last payment being due 72 months following the date of consummation of the Transaction. |
| The date of consummation was set as 5 days following the fulfillment of the last of the pre-conditions as detailed below, but no later than 180 days after the signing of the agreement or some later date to be agreed upon between the parties. |
| Consummation of the Transaction is subject to the fulfillment of several pre-conditions which are stipulated in the agreement, including the approval of the Commissioner of Restrictive Trade Practices, an undertaking pertaining to the transition of employees, obtaining bank financing by the Purchaser, and assignment of all material agreements by Shagrir to the Purchaser. |
| The agreement stipulates that, at the date of the accounting, Shagrir will pay the Purchaser all of the profits that accrued to Shagrir in respect of the sold Operations, commencing on the Effective Date (as defined below), until the date of consummation, and the Purchaser will pay Shagrir the Interest on the Consideration in an amount equal to the Shagrir Interest for that period. |

SHAGRIR TOWING SERVICES LTD. AND ITS CONSOLIDATED COMPANY
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont.)
| The “Effective Date”, in the event that the Consummation Date is prior to March 15, 2005, will be December 31, 2004. In the event that the Consummation Date is between March 15, 2005 and May 31, 2005, the Effective Date will be March 31, 2005. And, in the event that the Consummation Date is after May 31, 2005, the Effective Date will be June 30, 2005. |
| Without taking into consideration the amount of the profits that Shagrir will pay the Purchaser and the amount of the Shagrir Interest that the Purchaser will pay Shagrir, if at all, as above, Shagrir estimates that the Transaction, should it be consummated, will earn Shagrir an after-tax profit of NIS 133.5 million. |
| C. | In these financial statements, the following terms are defined as follows: |
| “Related parties” – as defined in Opinion No. 29 of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Israel. |
| “Subsidiary” – a company over which the Company has direct or indirect control (by holding most of the voting rights and the rights to appoint directors therein), and whose financial statements, therefore, are consolidated with those of the Company. |
NOTE 2 | – | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in Israel, which differ in certain respects from those generally accepted in the United States, as described in Note 20. |
| The significant accounting policies that were applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, are as follows: |
| A. | The measurement basis for the financial statements |
| A. | Adjusted amount – a nominal historical amount adjusted to the Index of December 2003, in accordance with the provisions of Opinions 23 and 36 of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Israel. |
| B. | Reported amount – an adjusted amount as of December 31, 2003, plus amounts in nominal values added subsequent to December 31, 2003, less amounts deducted subsequent to December 31, 2003. |
| 2. | Adjusted financial statements |
| Until December 31, 2003, the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary were presented on the basis of the historical cost convention, adjusted for changes in the general purchasing power of the Israeli currency (NIS), in accordance with the provisions of opinions of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Israel. The amounts in the financial statements until that date were stated in adjusted shekels having identical purchasing power (NIS of December 2003), on the basis of changes in the Index. |
| The adjustment of the financial statements was based on the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary. Such accounts are maintained on a regular basis in nominal shekels. |

NOTE 2 | – | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.) |
| A. | The measurement basis for the financial statements (cont.) |
| 2. | Adjusted financial statements (cont.) |
| The principles used in adjusting the financial statements are presented below, as follows: |
| Non-monetary items (e.g., fixed assets, unearned income, and share capital) were adjusted for changes in the Index, from the Index of the month in which they were purchased or generated, until the Index of the month of the balance sheet date. |
| Monetary items are presented in the adjusted balance sheet at their nominal values. |
| – | Revenues from sales were adjusted for changes in the Index, from the date of the transaction to the month of the balance sheet date. |
| – | Expenses relating to allowances included in the balance sheet (e.g., allowance for vacation pay, deferred taxes, and liability for employee rights upon retirement) are based on an analysis of the adjusted changes in the concurrent balance sheet item. |
| – | Revenues and expenses deriving from non-monetary items (mainly depreciation) were adjusted on the basis of specific indices, concurrent with the adjustment of the balance sheet item. |
| – | Expenses, except for those deriving from non-monetary items, expenses relating to allowances included in the balance sheet, and the financing component, were adjusted for changes in the Index from the month of the transaction to the month of the balance sheet date. |
| – | The net financing component reflects financing income and expenses in real terms, the erosion of financial items during the year, and gains and losses on the sale or revaluation of marketable securities. |
| c. | Statement of changes in shareholders’ equity |
| A dividend that was declared and paid in the year in which it was declared was adjusted on the basis of the changes in the Index from the time of the actual payment to the Index of December 2003. A dividend that was declared and not paid as of the balance sheet date was included at its unadjusted nominal value. |
| 3. | Discontinuance of Adjustment of Financial Statements |
| On January 1, 2004, Standard No. 12, “Discontinuance of Adjustment of Financial Statements” became effective. According to the Standard, financial statements are no longer adjusted for inflation commencing on that date. |

| A. | The measurement basis for the financial statements (cont.) |
| 4. | Point of departure for financial statement presentation subsequent toDecember 31, 2003 |
| a. | In the past, the Company presented its financial statements on the basis of historical cost, adjusted for changes in the Israeli Consumer Price Index. The adjusted values, as above, presented in the financial statements as of December 31, 2003 (the transition date), served as the point of departure for financial reporting as of January 1, 2004. Additions made during the reporting period are presented in nominal shekel values. |
| b. | The amounts of non-monetary assets do not necessarily reflect the economic or realizable value of such assets. Rather, they reflect the reported value of the assets. |
| c. | The term “cost” as used in the financial statements refers to cost in reported values. |
| d. | Comparative data for prior periods were adjusted to the Israeli Consumer Price Index of December 2003. |
| 5. | Financial statements in reported amounts |
| 1. | Non-monetary items are presented in reported amounts. |
| 2. | Monetary items are presented in the balance sheet in nominal values as of the balance sheet date. |
| 1. | Revenues and expenses deriving from non-monetary items or from reserves included in the balance sheet are derived from the difference between the reported amount at the beginning of the period and the reported amount at the end of the period. |
| 2. | The remainder of the income statement items are presented in nominal amounts. |
| c. | Statement of changes in shareholders’ equity
A dividend declared during the reporting period is presented at nominal values (regardless of whether paid or not). |
| 6. | Convenience translation into US dollars (“dollars” or “US$”)
The NIS figures at December 31, 2004 and for the year then ended have been translated into dollars using the representative exchange rate of the dollar at December 31, 2004 (US$ 1 = NIS 4.308). The translation was made solely for convenience. The translated dollar figures should not be construed as a representation that the Israeli currency amounts actually represent, or could be converted into, dollars. |

| C. | Principles of consolidation |
| The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. Significant intercompany transactions and balances were eliminated in consolidation. |
| D. | Cash and cash equivalents |
| The Company considers all highly liquid investments to be cash equivalents. These include short-term (up to three month) bank deposits that are not restricted as to withdrawal or use, with original periods to maturity which do not exceed three months. |
| Investments in marketable securities which constitute short-term investments are presented at market value. Changes in the value of these securities are reported as income or expenses as part of the financing component. |
| F. | Allowance for doubtful accounts |
| The allowance for doubtful debts is determined partially on the basis of specific debts and partially on the basis of a global calculation, in respect of debts, the collection of which, Company (or Subsidiary) Management believes to be doubtful. |
| G. | Inventory of tools and spare parts |
| The inventory of tools and spare parts is presented at the lower of cost or market value. |
| The investment in a private investment fund is presented on the basis of the equity method. |
| Fixed assets are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method, at annual rates considered adequate to fully depreciate the assets over their estimated useful lives. |

NOTE 2 | – | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.) |
| Deferred taxes are computed in respect of timing differences of income and expenses as reported in the financial statements and as reported for income tax purposes, as well as in respect of the adjustment of non-monetary assets, between their adjusted value and their value as recognized for tax purposes. The deferred taxes were computed according to the tax rates expected to prevail when they are realized, on the basis of the tax laws that were applicable on the balance sheet date. |
| In computing the deferred taxes, we did not take into consideration any taxes that would be due in the event of the sale of the investment in the Subsidiary, as long as there is a high degree of certainty that the subsidiary will not be sold in the foreseeable future, and that the Company’s policy regarding withdrawal of a dividend from the Subsidiary will not generate any additional tax liability for the Company. |
| Revenues from subscriptions are recognized pro rata over the subscription period. |
| Revenues from operating services and sales of spare parts are recognized when the service is rendered or the merchandise is supplied to the customers, as applicable. |
| Management fees are recognized pro rata over the service period. |
| Rental revenues are recognized over the rental period. |
| The Company periodically assesses the need to write-down the value of its assets in accordance with the provisions of Israeli Accounting Standard No. 15 – Impairment of assets (hereinafter – the “Standard”). The standard sets down the required accounting treatment and presentation in the event of a decline in asset value. The Standard mandates recognition of a loss on the value of an asset whenever the asset’s book value exceeds its recoverable amount. |
| M. | Use of estimates in preparing financial statements |
| The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported in the financial statements, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet date, and amounts of revenues and expenses reported during the period under report. Actual results may differ from those estimates. |
| N. | Disclosure of the effects of new accounting standards in the period prior toimplementation |
| In July 2004, the Israeli Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard No. 19 – Taxes on Income. The standard stipulates the required accounting treatment (recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure) for taxes on income. |
| The standard applies to the financial statements in respect of periods commencing on or after January 1, 2005 and will be adopted, except for extraordinary circumstances, by way of a cumulative effect as of the beginning of the year of a change in accounting method. |
| The Company is of the opinion that the effect of the new standard on the results of its operations, its financial position and its cash flows will be immaterial. |

| The consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Israel (Israel GAAP), which differ in certain respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (US GAAP), as described below: |
| A. | Financial statements in adjusted NIS: |
| In accordance with Israeli GAAP, throughout December 31, 2003, the group adjusted the financial statements for the effects of inflation in Israel. According to Accounting Standard No. 12, the adjustments for changes in the Israeli Consumer Price Index are no longer required (see also Note 2A). |
| US GAAP does not generally provide for the adjustment of financial statements for the impact of inflation for entities which do not operate in an hyperinflationary economy. Pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission requirements applicable to foreign private issuers, the Company has not included the impact of inflationary accounting applied under Israeli GAAP in the accompanying reconciliation to US GAAP. |

NOTE 20 | – | EFFECT ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF MATERIAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ISRAELI GAAP AND US GAAP (cont.) |
| The Company applies Israeli Accounting Standard No. 15 regarding impairment of assets. According to this Standard, if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is defined as the higher of an asset’s selling price and its value in use. Value in use in the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. |
| According to US GAAP (SFAS 144 – “Accounting for the Impairment of Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”) an impairment loss is recognized only if the carrying amount of an asset is not recoverable. The carrying amount is not recoverable if it exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset. If the carrying amount is not recoverable, an impairment loss should be recorded for the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value. |
| As a result, certain circumstances which would require an impairment loss to be recorded under Israeli GAAP would not require an impairment loss to be recorded under US GAAP. |
| Under Israeli GAAP an impairment loss previously recognized should be reversed when there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the impairment was recognized. |
| Under US GAAP restoration of a previously recognized impairment loss is prohibited. The adjusted carrying amount of the asset impaired is its new cost basis. |
| C. | Dividend declared subsequent to balance sheet date: |
| In accordance with Israeli GAAP, dividends declared subsequent to balance sheet date are presented as a separate component in shareholders’ equity. Under US GAAP, the dividends are not recorded as a separate component in shareholders’ equity. |
| D. | Classification of certain expenses: |
| Under Israeli GAAP gain on sale of fixed assets amounting to approximately NIS 1,805, NIS 1,288 and NIS 1,191 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 respectively, is included in non-operating income whereas in accordance with US GAAP such items are included in operating income. |
| E. | Liability in respect of employee rights upon retirement: |
| According to US GAAP, the liability in respect of employee rights upon retirement and related funded amounts are presented in the balance sheet separately as a liability and asset, respectively. Income from earnings on amounts funded is added to severance funds. |
| According to Israeli GAAP, the liability in respect of employee rights upon retirement is included in the balance sheet net of any related funded amounts including the income from earnings on amounts funded. |

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet and statements of operations are set forth herein to give effect to the acquisition (as more fully described below) of the activity of Shagrir Towing Services Ltd. by Shagrir Motor Vehicle Systems (former Pointer (Eden Telecom Group) Ltd), a subsidiary of Nexus Telocation Systems Ltd. (“Nexus” or “the Company”), which closed on February 28, 2005 (“closing”) by combining the historical Statements of Operations of Nexus and the historical Statements of Operations of Shagrir Towing Services Ltd for the year ended December 31, 2004 as if such acquisition had occurred as of January 1, 2004. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations combines the pro forma results of Operations of Nexus and Shagrir Motor Vehicle Systems with the historical Statements of Operations of Shagrir Motor Vehicle Systems for the period of six month ended June 30, 2004, as if Shagrir Motor Vehicle Systems was acquired on January 1, 2004.
The pro forma balance sheet combines the historical balance sheet as of December 31, 2004 of Nexus with the assets and liabilities acquired and the financing that the Company obtained to finance the acquisition as if the acquisition has occurred on December 31, 2004.
The financial data included for Shagrir Towing services reflects the business and operations which have been carved out from the financial statements of Shagrir Towing services Ltd. using the historical results of operations of the business that the Company acquired as if the acquired business was a separate entity. The financial data include certain allocations of assets, liabilities income and expenses. The statement of income includes the income and costs directly attributable to the acquired business and includes charges for shared facilities, functions and services. Management believes that the allocations were made on a reasonable basis and would not have been materially different if the acquired business had operated as a stand-alone entity.
The condensed consolidated pro forma information is provided for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the consolidated results of operations that would have actually been reported on a historical basis, had the acquisition occurred at the periods presented, nor do they represent a forecast of the consolidated future results of operations for any future period. All information contained herein should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto of Nexus, which have been incorporated herein by reference and the financial statements and notes thereto of Shagrir Towing Services Ltd. included herein.
