PART I
------
Item 1. BUSINESS
------------------
PEC Israel Economic Corporation ("PEC" or the "Company") organizes,
acquires interests in, finances and participates in the management of
companies which are located in the State of Israel or are Israel-related.
PEC is often involved in the early development of a company and has
participated in the organization of over 100 Israeli enterprises since its
incorporation in 1926. The Company participates actively in management and
is involved in a broad cross-section of Israeli companies engaged in
various fields of business, including high technology and communications,
manufacturing, building and construction, shipping and consumer products.
Among PEC's holdings are significant interests in a company that is a
world leader in color electronic prepress and digital video editing systems
(Scitex Corporation Ltd.), one of Israel's leading diversified high
technology holding companies (Elron Electronic Industries Ltd.), Israel's
newest cellular telephone company (CellCom Israel Ltd.), the cable
television company that serves the Tel-Aviv-Givataim metropolitan area and
two other areas in Israel (Tevel Israel International Communications Ltd.),
Israel's largest paint producer (Tambour Ltd.), Israel's largest
manufacturer of cans and metal packaging material (Caniel-Israel Can
Company Ltd.), one of Israel's most active real estate construction and
development companies (Property and Building Corporation Ltd.), one of
Israel's largest shipping companies (El-Yam Ships Ltd.) and one of the
largest supermarket chains in Israel (Super-Sol Ltd.). PEC is also
involved in several venture capital funds and early stage development
companies.
PEC acquires interests in companies which have attractive long-term
growth potential. PEC generally seeks to acquire and maintain a sufficient
equity interest in a company to permit PEC, in conjunction with other
companies controlled by IDB Holding Corporation Ltd. ("IDB Holding" and,
together with the companies controlled by it, the "IDB Group"), to have a
significant influence in the management and operation of that company. PEC
emphasizes the potential for long-term capital appreciation over the
ability or intention of an enterprise to provide a cash return in the near
future. Among the other factors PEC considers in determining whether to
acquire an interest in a specific enterprise are quality of management,
global or domestic market share, export sales potential and ability to take
advantage of the growth of the domestic Israeli economy.
IDB Holding, through its majority owned subsidiary, IDB Development
Corporation Ltd. ("IDB Development"), owns
I-1
beneficially approximately 70% of the outstanding Common Stock of
PEC. IDB Holding is controlled by Mr. Raphael Recanati, Chairman of the
Board of PEC, and members of his family.
IDB Holding is one of the largest business enterprises operating in
the private sector of the Israeli economy, with
consolidated assets exceeding $2.0 billion at December 31, 1994. Discount
Investment Corporation Ltd. ("Discount Investment"), another indirect
subsidiary of IDB Holding, owns shares of many Israeli companies in which
PEC has holdings and, through a subsidiary, has an agreement with PEC that
each will offer the other equal participation in business opportunities
that become available to either of them in Israel for a fee of 2.5% of the
equity invested by the paying party in business opportunities initiated or
initially presented by the other. PEC participates directly and through a
contractual arrangement with Discount Investment in the management of the
companies in which PEC holds equity interests. PEC and Discount Investment
have agreed to cooperate on matters concerning the advancement and
development of companies located in Israel in which each of them owns
voting interests, including the use of their voting power as shareholders
on a mutually agreed basis. PEC also has entered into voting agreements
with other members of the IDB Group with respect to voting of the stock of
certain of such companies.
PEC believes that its agreements with Discount Investment and PEC's
relationship with the IDB Group afford PEC an important source of new
business opportunities in Israel, significant influence in the management
and operations of companies in which PEC holds shares and savings in PEC's
cost of conducting its business.
PEC has received an Order from the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission determining that it is not an investment company within
the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940. In light of the Order,
PEC has determined that its business holdings should continue to be
concentrated in Israel-related companies that it, IDB Holding and other
members of the IDB Group control or in which they exercise a significant
influence.
I-2

High Technology and Communications
Scitex Corporation Ltd. ("Scitex"). Scitex is a world leader in
digital visual information communication for the graphic design, printing,
publishing and video markets. Scitex and its subsidiaries develop,
manufacture and market a broad range of digital prepress, digital printing
and digital video products.
The products of Scitex are used to automate the prepress production of
high resolution color printed media such as magazines, trade journals,
newspapers, catalogs, annual reports and advertising. The color prepress
process includes the capture, manipulating, editing, assembly and
integration of color images (photographs and artwork) and text, and
production of color films and plates for high quality, high volume
printing. The products of Scitex allow users to work throughout the color
prepress process in a digital workflow, significantly reducing production
time, material waste and labor requirements, while improving image and
color quality and facilitating design creativity.
Scitex provides customers with a broad range of connectivity (the
ability to connect to many types of systems and protocols), including a
wide selection of integrated solutions in PostScript, a popular page
description language, for the desktop publishing, graphic arts and high-end
prepress markets. Its communications products streamline multinational
news publishing.
Scitex pioneered the development of color electronic prepress systems
with the introduction in 1979 of the first digital workstation for page
layout and the editing and assembly of color images. Since that time,
Scitex has introduced a full range of color electronic prepress products.
Scitex has designed its products to operate on a stand-alone basis or to be
combined in systems and networks that meet the unique application
requirements and production environments of its customers. Scitex is the
global market leader in its industry and has more than 7,000 installations
of its products worldwide. Customers include Time, Fortune, Sports
Illustrated, The New York Times, National Geographic, USA Today, Rizzoli,
A. Mondadori, Bauer Druck, Gutenberghus, Tappan Group, Dai Nippon Printing,
Asahi Shimbun, Sara Lee and Pepsico.
Scitex, through its wholly owned subsidiary Leaf Systems, Inc.
("Leaf"), designs, develops, manufactures and markets products for
scanning, transmitting and handling color and black-and-white photographic
images, particularly for newspaper, magazine, photojournalism and desktop
publishing applications. Leaf has developed innovative digital cameras and
camera backs
I-7
for capturing color images directly into the computer, bypassing
the film and scanning stages.
Iris Graphics, Inc. ("Iris"), a subsidiary of Scitex, is one of the world's
leading developers and manufacturers of high quality color inkjet printers.
The printers produce high-resolution prints and proofs on various types of
paper and other material. Iris has adapted an automatic inkjet printer for
medical imaging, reducing the cost of duplicate films without compromising
the quality of the images. In addition to the Iris products, Scitex also
markets a very large format inkjet printer that prints color billboards.
Scitex markets and sells its products primarily through wholly owned
subsidiaries in North America, Europe, and Hong Kong, and through a joint
venture in Japan. In these markets, Scitex and its Japanese joint venture
sell primarily through their direct sales force personnel. Virtually all
of Scitex's sales are outside of Israel.
Scitex develops, manufactures and markets very high speed black and
white inkjet printers, used primarily for promotional and mail
applications, including personalization, and is a leader in the high-speed,
variable data, digital printing market.
In 1994, Scitex acquired ImMIX, Inc., a leading vendor of non-linear
video editing systems which has over 1,000 of its Video Cube systems in use
worldwide. This acquisition adds digital video to the activities of Scitex
and, together with the acquisition of Leaf, signals the company's expansion
into the wider area of visual information communication.
In addition, in 1994 Scitex acquired 25% of P.INK Ltd. of Germany,
obtaining exclusive rights (except for German speaking countries) to
worldwide distribution of software solutions developed by P.INK for
newspaper editorial and advertising departments.
The ordinary shares of Scitex are listed for quotation on the National
Association of Securities Dealers Automatic Quotation System/National
Market System ('NASDAQ/NMS') (symbol "SCIXF"). PEC, Discount Investment,
Clal Electronics Industries Limited ("Clal"), another member of the IDB
Group, and International Paper Company are parties to a shareholders'
agreement with respect to their ordinary shares of Scitex that, among other
things, (i) provides that Scitex shall have a board of directors of 13
members, consisting of the current chief executive officer of Scitex (for
as long as he holds that office) and four nominees designated by each of
PEC and Discount Investment as a group, International Paper Company and
Clal, (ii) provides that the Chairman of the Board of Scitex and of its
I-8
executive committee be selected from the directors designated by PEC,
Discount Investment and Clal and (iii) restricts the
acquisition and disposition by such shareholders of ordinary shares of
Scitex.
Elron Electronic Industries Ltd. ("Elron"). Elron conducts its
business principally through high technology operating companies in which
it holds controlling or other significant equity interests. Elron's
various affiliates design, develop, manufacture, market and service state-
of-the-art electronic systems and products for medical diagnostic imaging,

CellCom Israel Ltd. ("CellCom"). In June 1994, the Israeli government
awarded a license to establish and operate Israel's second cellular
telephone system to CellCom, a new company owned by BellSouth Enterprises
Inc., companies controlled by Joseph and Moise Safra of Brazil, Discount
Investment and Israel Aircraft Industries Ltd. PEC purchased a 9.5% equity
interest in CellCom from Discount Investment and, subject to the approval of
Israel's Minister of Communications, will acquire an additional 2% equity
interest in CellCom.
CellCom began operations at the end of December 1994 serving the Tel
Aviv metropolitan area. In February 1995, the Jerusalem area was added to
the system, and in March 1995 the Haifa area was added. CellCom expects to
serve all of Israel by September 1995. By March 27, 1995 over 60,000
customers were utilizing CellCom's cellular telephones. CellCom intends to
invest approximately $300 million through 1997 in the development and
operation of the new cellular telephone system.
CellCom uses TDMA (time division multiple access) digital technology,
the most advanced technology for cellular communication. According to
CellCom's license, during CellCom's first year of operation, the most
CellCom may charge users of its cellular service is 2.8 cents per minute,
rising to 5.3 cents per minute during the second year and 10 cents per
minute during the third through fifth years. CellCom may increase these
charges whenever the Israeli consumer price index increases by more than
8.5%. In addition, CellCom charges an interconnect fee and during the
third through fifth years of operation CellCom may charge customers a
monthly fee of $5.34. CellCom's charges are far lower than the charges of
the operator of Israel's first cellular network, which are 22.3 cents per
minute during peak hours and 11.3 cents per minute during off peak hours.
I-10
Tevel Israel International Communications Ltd. ("Tevel"). PEC owns,
through its interest in DIC and PEC Cable TV Ltd., 23.7% of Tevel, which
was established in 1988 to develop, construct and operate cable television
systems in Israel. PEC's partners in Tevel are Discount Investment and
United International Holding Inc., a publicly traded American corporation
that provides multi-channel television services outside the United States.
Tevel has exclusive franchises for the whole of the Tel Aviv-Givataim
metropolitan area, the southern region of Ashdod-Ashkelon and the Nazareth-
Jezreel Valley. These franchises include approximately 315,000
households - over 20% of the homes in Israel. Tevel has completed the
construction of approximately 95% of the cable network in its franchise
areas. As of February 1, 1995, Tevel had approximately 204,000
subscribers, constituting approximately 67% of the households in the area
in which network construction has been completed.
At present, Tevel offers customers a uniform, basic package of 40
channels for a fixed monthly fee. The basic package includes local,
national and regional broadcasting channels, satellite delivered channels
from Europe and Asia and five channels, subtitled in Hebrew - a movie
channel, a sports channel, a family entertainment channel, a science,
nature and cultural channel and a children's entertainment channel. Tevel
has installed advanced scrambling and addressable two-way equipment that
protects the service from theft, and enables Tevel to offer additional
programming for which it may charge separately. In May 1994, Tevel started
to offer customers four channels of movies on a pay per view basis.
Tel-Ad Jerusalem Studios Ltd. ("Tel-Ad"). Tel-Ad is a major producer
of television programs in Israel, producing prerecorded and live studio
productions as well as productions on location.
In July 1993, Tel-Ad was selected as one of three companies to operate
Israel's second television station (the "Second Channel"), the only
privately operated commercial television station. Broadcasts on the second
television station began in November 1993. Tel-Ad is responsible for the
entire programming for two days every week and for every Saturday in a four
month period every year. In 1994, Tel-Ad's programs were broadcast on
Mondays and Thursdays and on Saturdays between March and June.
In 1994, the Second Channel became the most-watched station in Israel.
The popularity of the channel provided the impetus for advertisers and
advertising agencies alike to take advantage of the opportunities that the
new medium offered. In the Second Channel's first year of operation, 20%
of all Israeli advertising budgets were allocated for television.
I-11
Tel-Ad broadcasts a varied program schedule, with approximately 40% of
the programs produced in Israel and 60% of the programs acquired from
outside of Israel. The programs span a wide range of genres and formats,
including entertainment, humor and satire, game shows, talk shows and
current affairs. Tel-Ad programs that achieved particular success with the
viewing audience included "The Comedy Store," and "Laila Gov" hosted by
Gidi Gov in the light entertainment genre, game shows "Yoter Mazal
MiSechel", "Lingo" and "Mat'im Li", talk show "Rubi", and the investigative
reporting magazine "Uvdah", hosted by Ilana Dayan.
In conjunction with starting to broadcast on the Second Channel, Tel-
Ad completed construction and upgrading of its technical facilities,
investing approximately $4 million in several projects, including the
conversion of its existing studio to the first fully digital television
studio in Israel, the construction of a second television studio, the
installation of fully equipped computerized editing and animation suites,
the completion of a new floor of offices in the Jerusalem theater, as well
as opening a branch office in Tel-Aviv which serves as Tel-Ad's marketing
headquarters.

Conditions in Israel
Substantially all of the Company's Affiliates conduct their principal
operations in Israel and are directly affected by economic, political and
military conditions in that country. The manufacturing operations of
certain of the Affiliates are heavily dependent upon components and raw
materials imported from the United States, several nations in Europe and
other countries, and a substantial majority of the sales of some Affiliates
are made outside Israel. Accordingly, the results of operations of the
Company and substantially all of the Affiliates could be adversely affected
if major hostilities involving Israel should occur or if trade between Israel
and its present trading partners should be interrupted for substantial
periods.
Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, a state of
hostility has existed, varying as to degree and intensity, among Israel and
various Arab countries. In addition, Israel and companies doing business
with Israel have been the subject of an economic boycott by the Arab countries
since Israel's establishment. Furthermore, following the Six-Day War in 1967,
Israel commenced administering the territories of the West Bank and the Gaza
Strip and, since December 1987, increased civil unrest has existed in these
territories. Although, as described below, Israel has entered into various
agreements with
I-26
Arab countries and the Palestine Liberation Organization ("PLO") and
various declarations have been signed in connection with efforts to resolve
some of the aforementioned problems, no prediction can be made as to
whether a full resolution of these problems will be achieved or as to the
nature of any such resolutions. To date, these problems have not had a
material adverse impact on the financial condition or operations of the
Affiliates although there can be no assurance that continuation of these
problems will not have such an impact in the future.
A peace agreement between Israel and Egypt was signed in 1979 and
limited economic and full political relations have been established between
the two countries.
Since October 1991, Israel and certain of its neighbors have held
direct negotiations to end the state of hostility between them and
establish peace. In September 1993, Israel entered into a Declaration of
Principles with the PLO, which sets forth a basic framework for continued
negotiations between Israel and the PLO with respect to ending the state
of hostility between such parties. In accordance with this agreement, in
1994 Israel transferred administration of the Gaza Strip and Jericho to the
Palestinian Self-Rule Authority and the Israeli army withdrew from these
areas. Although negotiations are continuing between Israel and the PLO to
implement fully the Declaration of Principles, to date such negotiations
have not resulted in any definitive agreement.
In October 1994, Israel and Jordan signed a peace treaty establishing
full political and economic relations between the two countries. Although
negotiations are continuing among Israel, Lebanon and Syria, to date such
negotiations have not resulted in any agreement.
All male adult citizens and permanent residents of Israel under the
age of 51 are, unless exempt, obligated to perform approximately 48 days
of military reserve duty annually. Some unmarried women up to age 24 may
also be required to perform up to 48 days of annual military reserve duty.
Additionally, all such residents are subject to being called to active duty
at any time under emergency circumstances. Many of the Affiliates' male
officers and employees are currently obligated to perform annual reserve
duty. While the Affiliates have operated effectively under these
requirements since their organization, no assessment can be made of the
full impact of such requirements on the Affiliates' work forces or
businesses if conditions should change, and no prediction can be made as to
the effect on the Affiliates of any expansion or reduction of such
obligations.
The results of operations of certain of the Affiliates have been
favorably affected by their participation in Israeli
I-27
Government programs related to research and development, foreign currency
exchange rate insurance, taxation and capital investment incentives, some
of which have been reduced in recent years. Their results of operations
would be adversely affected if these programs were further reduced or
eliminated and not replaced with equivalent programs or if their ability to
participate in these programs were significantly reduced.
Demographics
Since the beginning of 1990, Israel has been experiencing a new wave
of immigration primarily from the former Soviet Union. Approximately
600,000 new immigrants arrived through the end of 1994, of which
approximately 80,000 arrived in 1994, and it is expected that additional
immigrants will arrive in Israel during the next few years. The future level
of immigration is largely dependent on the political stability of Russia and
the other countries of the former Soviet Union. If the number of additional
immigrants is substantial, the increased population will place an increased
strain on government services, short-term economic development and national
resources.
The Israeli Government has found it necessary to raise additional
revenue and to dedicate substantial funds to support programs, including
housing, education and job training, designed to assist in the absorption
of the new immigrants. Israeli Government policy in this area is in flux,
and no prediction can be made as to the policies that will be adopted in
the future or the effect thereof on other government spending programs,
including defense. However, the increased immigration may also benefit
Israel and its economy in the long-term by providing highly educated, cost
competitive labor and by stimulating its growth.
While a decrease in the rate of immigration would relieve strain on
government services, short-term economic development and national
resources, such a decrease could also have a negative effect on those
Affiliates whose revenues are derived mainly from the sale of products and
services in Israel. These Affiliates include housing developers, such as
Property & Building, manufacturers of supplies for the construction and
housing industry, such as Tambour and Klil, and purveyors of food and other
necessities, such as Super-Sol. No assessment can be made of the full
impact of a significant change in the flow of immigration on the results of
operations of these Affiliates or the other companies in which PEC has an
interest.
The State of Israel receives significant amounts of economic and
military assistance from the United States. In addition, in 1992 the
United States agreed to provide Israel with supplemental
I-28
assistance in the form of up to $10 billion of loan guarantees
in order to help meet the strains imposed by increased immigration. Israel
borrowed $2 billion that was guaranteed by the United States in each of
1993 and 1994. The borrowed funds were used to bolster Israel's foreign
exchange reserves and to fund increased investments, mainly in
infrastructure. Israel plans to borrow $2 billion per year guaranteed by
the United States over the next three years. The Israeli economy would suffer
material adverse consequences were such economic, military and supplemental
assistance to be significantly reduced. There is no assurance that such
assistance will continue at or near amounts received in the past.
Economy
Israel's gross domestic product ("GDP") increased by 6.8% in 1994, the
highest GDP growth rate recorded in Israel since 1972, and almost twice the
1993 rate of 3.5%. Israel's per capita GDP increased by 4.3% in 1994, the
largest increase in per capita GDP in the developed world. This increase
was achieved even though Israel's population grew by 5.4% in 1994. This
growth in Israel's per capita GDP was accompanied by a decrease in Israel's
civilian unemployment rate from 10% in 1993 to 7.7% in 1994, which resulted
from sustained growth in Israel's economy. The decline in the unemployment
rate is even more significant in view of the expiration of government
subsidized employment programs during 1994 and the issuance of work permits
to thousands of foreign laborers to work in Israel.
Two of the principal negative developments in Israel's economy last
year were the increase in the inflation rate from 11.25% for 1993 to 14.5%
for 1994 and the decline in the personal savings rate. These developments
can, to some extent, be attributed to Israel's absorption of many new
immigrants into its economy. Many of the recent immigrants have now become
financially established, and are using their income to purchase goods and
services, thereby increasing private consumption and inflationary
pressures. As in 1993, increases in housing prices fueled Israel's
inflation rate. Housing prices rose in part because of greater demand from
recent immigrants who were now able to purchase rather than just rent
apartments.
Israel's GDP grew to New Israel Shekel ("NIS") 223 billion at current
prices in 1994, an increase of 6.8% compared to 1993. Business sector GDP
grew to NIS 149 billion in 1994, an increase of 7.9% over 1993. During the
five year period from 1990 through 1994, GDP increased by 33% and business
sector GDP rose by 40% while Israel's population grew by 19%, bolstered by
mass immigration from the former Soviet Union.
I-29
Israel's exports of goods and services rose by 10.6% in 1994 to $24
billion, a rate of increase similar to that recorded in 1993. Exports of
goods increased by 13% to $16 billion and, excluding diamonds, increased by
12% to $11 billion. The fastest growing industrial export sectors in 1994
were metals, machinery and electronics (13% increase) and chemicals (11%
increase), which were also the fastest growing industrial export sectors in
1993, and rubber and plastics (17% increase). Metals, machinery and
electronics and chemicals accounted for 75% of the entire growth in
industrial exports in 1994. Exports of polished diamonds rose to over $3.5
billion, 18% greater than in 1993. Agricultural exports rose by 7% to $584
million. This increase was achieved despite extensive crop damage caused
by the unusually warm winter at the beginning of the year and cutbacks in
production. Exports of other services increased by 7% in 1994. Although
more tourists visited Israel in 1994 compared to 1993 (over 2 million
tourists visited in 1994), earnings from tourism increased by only 4% in
1994 compared to 11% in 1993.
Increased exports to the Far East, especially Japan, South Korea,
Singapore and Thailand, accounted for over a quarter of the growth in
merchandise exports during 1994. A slightly lower percentage of the growth
in exports was attributable to increased exports to the United States.
Following the end of the recession in Western Europe, approximately 20% of
the growth was attributable to exports to the members of European Community
("EC"), to whom exports had actually declined in 1993. The increase in
trade with EC members was bilateral, and EC members accounted for 60% of
the increase in merchandise imports in 1994. An exception to the overall
trend of export growth was Eastern Europe, where Israel's exports decreased
marginally because of this region's uncertain economic climate and the lack
of foreign exchange.
Israel's increase in exports in 1994 was achieved even though the
dollar weakened against the shekel in real terms during the year, resulting
in a decrease in the profitability of exporting companies.
Imports of civilian goods and services (which exclude defense
imports), rose by 12.7% to $32 billion in 1994. Imports of goods alone
increased by 16%. The excess of imports of civilian goods and services
over exports of these goods and services (an "import surplus") grew to $8.3
billion in 1994 compared to $5.9 billion in 1993. While the total dollar
prices of imports rose faster than those of exports, in real terms import
prices actually decreased. This decrease in real import prices encouraged
manufacturers to accumulate inventories of imported production inputs and
to purchase capital stock from outside of Israel.
I-30
Israel's unemployment rate decreased last year to 7.7%, the lowest
rate recorded since 1990 when the mass immigration to Israel of residents
of the former Soviet Union began. The sharp decrease in the unemployment
rate compared to earlier years resulted from a 7% increase in the number of
jobs, which increase exceeded the 3.9% increase in the civilian labor
force. The increase in the number of jobs resulted from greater economic
activity and from large scale investment in previous years in capital stock
(the means for producing goods and services). During 1994, capital stock
grew by 6.3% in real terms. The number of jobs generated by the investment
in capital stock more than outweighed any adverse effect on the
unemployment rate from the expiration of government employment subsidization
programs. This growth in capital stock also contributed to a 0.2% increase
in labor productivity in the business sector following two years of
decreases. The rate of increase in capital stock is an important indicator
of the ability of the Israeli economy to maintain future growth. While
economic growth in previous years was fueled by a sharp rise in the population
and only a slight increase in capital stock, during 1994 this mix was reversed,
auguring well for the business sector's future growth and ability to
generate jobs.
Business sector hourly wages fell by 1.7% in 1994, while public sector
wages increased by 8.7%, resulting in an overall rise in wages of 1.1%. In
the past, such a large gap between business and public sector wages has
been short-lived. Pressure may build on the business sector for wage
increases to close this gap. Future wage increases may also result from
the economy reaching its natural level of unemployment.
Gross domestic investment rose in 1994 by 8.4% to NIS 52 billion, a
more rapid increase than in 1993. After a small increase of 0.2% in 1993,
investment in fixed assets grew by 12.9% to NIS 51 billion in 1994.
Approximately 75% of the increase in 1994 consisted of non-housing investment,
which surged by 17.3% to NIS 37 billion. Non-housing investment, which is the
basis for sustained economic growth, includes investment in machinery and
equipment (up by 16.7%), land transportation equipment (up 16.8%), and
structures and earthworks (up by 12.4%). The investment category that
experienced the largest increase was imported machinery and equipment, which
grew by 27.3% and added $1 billion to Israel's imports. Following a sharp
decrease in 1993, investment in housing construction expanded by only 1.4% in
1994 to NIS 13 billion. This increase was slowed by a labor shortage in the
construction industry resulting from the closure of the administered
territories.
After maintaining an expansionary monetary policy for several years in
order to encourage economic growth, the Bank of Israel began to restrict
the money supply during 1994 because of
I-31
its concern over the rise in the inflation rate. The consumer price index
rose by 14.5% in 1994, far higher than the 8% level targeted at the
beginning of 1994 by Israel's Finance Ministry and the Bank of Israel.
Although sharp rises in the prices of housing due to increased demand and
fruit and vegetables due to crop shortages were partially responsible for
the increase in the index in 1994, the Bank of Israel's expansionary monetary
policy in previous years was also a major factor adding to the increase in
inflation during 1994.
Last year, the central bank imposed a tight monetary policy by
repeatedly raising the cost of its funds to the commercial banks, from 9.7%
in January 1994 to 17% in December 1994. Concurrently, the commercial
banks' average lending rate increased from 14.6% to 22.5%. Despite this
increase and an accompanying rise in borrowing rates, the banking system's
aggregate financial margin (the excess of the banking system's aggregate
lending rate over its average borrowing rate) remained largely unchanged
during 1994, following several years of decline.
As a result of the Bank of Israel's monetary policy, during 1994 the
amount of loans to the public grew at a slower pace than the growth in
deposits, i.e. credit expanded by 24% to NIS 55 billion and deposits went up
by 35% to NIS 47 billion. The growth in deposits was fueled by a large
decrease in investment in equity securities. This increase in deposits and
decrease in holdings of equity securities in 1994 reverses the trend that had
developed in the banking industry in the years 1991-1993 away from traditional
financing operations towards more off-balance-sheet activity with customers
in the capital market. Indeed, reduced confidence in the capital market, at
least by smaller savers, led to the foregoing major change in the composition
of the public's financial asset portfolio in the course of the year.
The foreign currency market was relatively stable in 1994, and the
Bank of Israel made no change in the 6% predetermined rate of annual
devaluation of the shekel against a basket of currencies. This 6% rate of
permitted devaluation is intended to reflect the differential between the
levels of annual inflation in Israel and the countries included in the
currency basket. The 6% rate was maintained despite calls for a major
devaluation from exporters, whose profits suffered by the lack of a larger
devaluation while Israel's inflation rate was increasing. In July 1994,
continual bilateral trading was introduced into the foreign currency market
for trading large sums of currency. Under this form of trading, trades may
be conducted at spot rates, without having to wait for the banks' single
daily exchange rate quotations.
I-32
In 1994, the shekel was devalued by less than 1% against the dollar,
from NIS 2.99 to NIS 3.01, and by 5.34% against the currency basket, from
NIS 3.19 to NIS 3.35.
Israel had approximately $6.8 billion of foreign exchange reserves at
the end of 1994 compared to $6.4 billion at the end of 1993, $5.1 billion
at the end of 1992, $6.3 billion at the end of 1991 and $5.2 billion at the
end of 1990.
After four consecutive years of buoyant trading, the expansion of
stock market activity came to a halt in 1994. Share prices plummeted and
volume dropped in 1994. The general share index dropped by 54% in real
terms, and the volume of share trading totalled NIS 76 billion compared
with NIS 84 billion in 1993. While the two-sided index of the 100 most
traded companies listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange fell by 44%, the
broader index of smaller companies on the parallel list plunged by 67%.
The market value of shares and convertible stocks at the end of 1994
amounted to NIS 100 billion, compared with NIS 152 billion at the end of
1993.
There are four main reasons for the market's decline in 1994. First,
prices were at an extremely high speculative level after a four year boom.
Second, profits of publicly traded companies decreased in 1994 compared to
1993. Third, the inflation rate increased, causing the Bank of Israel to
impose higher interest rates. Finally, Israel enacted a capital gains tax
in November 1994 on profits from the sale of shares of publicly traded
companies. Although the capital gains tax became effective on January 1,
1995, the Israeli government decided later that month to repeal the tax.
The amount of capital raised on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange in 1994
reached NIS 5.4 billion, compared with a record NIS 9.8 billion raised in
1993. Over half of the total amount raised came from share offerings made
during the first four months of 1994, and represented the end of the wave
of stock offerings in 1993. Of the total amount raised, NIS 3.8 billion
came from share offerings and private placements by 177 companies, of which
82 were initial public offerings. An additional NIS 1.6 billion was raised
from the exercise of options for publicly traded securities.
Plans to continue the privatization of government companies in 1994
were stalled by the recession in the capital market. The government
realized only NIS 600 million in proceeds from privatization in 1994,
compared to approximately NIS 3.3 billion in 1993.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
------- -------------------------------------------------
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
-----------------------------------
Results of Operations
----------------------
Year Ended December 31, 1994
Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1993
Consolidated net income was $32.6 million in 1994 compared to
$42.0 million in 1993. The reduction in consolidated net income resulted
primarily from decreases in equity in net income of Affiliated Companies,
in net gain on issuance of shares by Affiliated Companies and in net gain
on sales of investments. The reduction attributable to these factors was
partially offset by a reduced provision for income taxes and by the effect
of PEC's adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" ("SFAS
115") effective January 1, 1994 (which increased consolidated net income
for 1994 by a cumulative effect adjustment of approximately $2.5 million,
net of taxes ($3.8 million before taxes), offset in part by a reduction in
revenues in 1994 of approximately $2.6 million for changes in market value
of marketable securities). PEC's adoption of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" effective
January 1, 1993 reduced consolidated net income in 1993 by a cumulative
effect adjustment of approximately $1.2 million.
Equity in net income of Affiliated Companies for 1994 was $25.3
million compared to $33.5 million for 1993. This decrease reflected PEC's
reduced equity in net income in 1994 in respect of some of PEC's Affiliated
Companies, principally El-Yam, Scitex and Tefron, and the absence of net
income in respect of C.I.D.L. Inc. ("CIDL"), an Affiliated Company until PEC
sold its equity interest in CIDL in November 1993. The reduction in equity
in net income in respect of Tefron and CIDL primarily reflected the effects
of events that occurred in 1993--PEC's elimination of reserves in 1993 for
Tefron, which increased equity in net income of Affiliated Companies in
1993 by the amount of the reserves, and the gain realized by CIDL in 1993
upon the sale of its sole asset. See Results of Operation - Year Ended
December 31, 1993 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1992. The reduction
in PEC's equity in net income of Affiliated Companies also reflected losses
in respect of other Affiliated Companies, particularly CellCom (start up
losses), RDC (losses from holdings in early stage companies), and RTS and
RPA (losses and additional provisions for these holdings). The reduction
attributable to these factors was partially offset by PEC's increased
equity in net income in respect of certain other Affiliated Companies,
particularly Super-Sol, Bulk Trading (which had a loss in 1993) and Caniel
and by PEC's reduced loss in respect of Adir.
II-3
PEC's equity in net income of Affiliated Companies decreased in
1994 by approximately $2.7 million because the substantial decline
in 1994 in prices of publicly traded securities in Israel reduced the net
income of certain of PEC's Affiliated Companies, principally Property &
Building and Tambour, which had invested a portion of their liquid funds on
a short term basis in publicly traded Israeli mutual funds and equity
securities pending permanent utilization in their businesses.
PEC realized a net gain on issuance of shares by
Affiliated Companies of approximately $7.1 million for 1994 compared to
approximately $11.5 million for 1993. Approximately $5.9 million of PEC's
net gain on issuance of shares by Affiliated Companies for 1994 resulted
from the exercise in February 1994 of all the then outstanding one year
options to purchase ordinary shares of Tambour and approximately $500,000
of such net gain resulted from Lego's initial public offering in Israel
in January 1994. The net gain on issuance of shares by Affiliated Companies
for 1993 resulted principally from Tambour's sale in February 1993 of
ordinary shares and one and two year options to purchase ordinary shares in
an initial public offering in Israel and the subsequent exercise of some of
those options, from Gilat Satellite's sale in April 1993 of ordinary shares
in an initial public offering in the United States and from Mul-T-Lock's sale
in January 1993 of ordinary shares in a private placement.
The net loss on sales of investments for 1994 of approximately
$200,000 resulted from losses on PEC's sale of marketable securities of
U.S. companies and marketable bonds of the U.S. Government and of a U.S.
Government sponsored corporation. The net loss attributable to these
factors was partially offset by a gain from PEC's sale of a small portion
of the shares of Maxima. PEC's net gain on sales of investments for 1993
of approximately $4.1 million resulted from PEC's sale of 30% of the shares
of Tefron, PEC's sale of marketable securities of U.S. companies and PEC's
sale of a small portion of the shares of Maxima.
PEC's interest and dividend income increased in 1994 by
approximately $200,000 compared to 1993 because of an increase of
approximately $400,000 in dividend income from PEC's nonvoting preferred
stock of IDBNY in 1994 compared with 1993. Although the amount of liquid
assets decreased in 1994 compared to 1993 (approximately $75 million at the
beginning of, and approximately $42.7 million at the end of, 1994 compared
to approximately $87 million at the beginning of, and approximately $75
million at the end of, 1993), such decrease did not significantly affect
PEC's interest and dividend income for 1994, excluding PEC's dividend
income from its nonvoting preferred stock of IDBNY, compared to such income
for 1993 primarily because of higher interest rates.
II-4
See "Liquidity and Capital Resources". The amount of liquid assets was reduced
principally because of the purchase of equity securities of new and
existing Affiliated Companies and other Israeli companies
and long term loans made to Affiliated Companies, principally CellCom.
The decrease in other income for 1994 reflected principally
reduced fees for management services compared with 1993.
General and administrative expenses for 1994 decreased compared
to 1993 due in part to the write-off of deferred American
Stock Exchange listing fees for PEC's common stock during 1993
and to reduced provisions for employee pension expenses.
The provision for income taxes in 1994 decreased to $1.2 million
from $7.6 million in 1993. As described in Note 2 to the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements, PEC provides deferred income taxes on
undistributed earnings of, and gains on issuances of shares by, Affiliated
Companies that are not more than 50% owned by the IDB Group and in which
the IDB Group does not otherwise have effective control. The Company does
not provide deferred income taxes with respect to undistributed earnings
of, and gains on issuances of shares by, Affiliated Companies that are more
than 50% owned by the IDB Group or in which the IDB Group otherwise has
effective control (the "Majority-Owned Affiliated Companies"). Such
amounts are currently expected to be permanently reinvested in the
Majority-Owned Affiliated Companies. PEC's provision for income taxes
decreased for 1994 compared with 1993 primarily because of the decrease in
income before income taxes for 1994 compared with 1993. The provision for
income taxes as a percentage of income before income taxes decreased in
1994 compared with 1993 principally because of an increase in 1994 in the
proportion of income from undistributed earnings of, and gains on issuances
of shares by, Majority-Owned Affiliated Companies to net income and because
of an increase of approximately $800,000 in the provision for income taxes
in 1993 as a result of the increase in August 1993 in the U.S. federal
corporate income tax rate from 34% to 35% for taxable income greater than
$10 million. The provision for income taxes in 1993 reflected a capital
loss for tax purposes that PEC realized upon its sale of 30% of the shares
of Tefron in September 1993, which reduced PEC's provision for income taxes
in 1993 by approximately $1.9 million.
Year Ended December 31, 1993
Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1992
Consolidated net income increased to $42.0 million in 1993 from
$33.1 million in 1992. The increase in consolidated net income in 1993 as
compared to 1992 resulted primarily from increases in PEC's equity in net
income of Affiliated Companies
II-5
and in net gain on sales of investments and a decrease in the provision for
income taxes. The increase attributable to these factors was partially
offset by a decrease in other income and by the effect of PEC's adoption of
SFAS 109.
PEC's equity in net income of Affiliated Companies in 1993
increased to $33.5 million from $30.3 million in 1992. The increase in
equity in net income of Affiliated Companies for 1993 reflects PEC's
elimination of approximately $2.2 million of reserves for Tefron that PEC
determined were no longer required, PEC's recognition of approximately $1.7
million of equity in net income of CIDL resulting from CIDL's sale of all
of its shares of F.I.B.I. Holding Company Limited, its sole asset, and
improved results of some of PEC's Affiliated Companies, principally El-Yam,
Property & Building, Super-Sol and Gilat Satellite. These increases were
partially offset by reduced earnings of certain other Affiliated Companies,
principally Scitex, DIC and PEC Cable TV Ltd. (the holding company for PEC's
interest in Tevel), Tambour and Elron and by losses in respect of Adir, RTS
and Bulk Trading.
PEC realized a net gain on issuance of shares by Affiliated
Companies of approximately $11.5 million in 1993 compared to approximately
$11.3 million in 1992. Approximately $8.5 million of the net gain on
issuance of shares by Affiliated Companies in 1993 resulted from Tambour's
sale in February 1993 of ordinary shares and one and two year options to
purchase ordinary shares in an underwritten initial public offering in
Israel and the subsequent exercise of some of those options. Approximately
$2.2 million of net gain on the issuance of shares by Affiliated Companies
in 1993 resulted from Gilat Satellite's sale in April 1993 of ordinary
shares in an underwritten initial public offering in the United States. A
private placement of ordinary shares by Mul-T-Lock in January 1993 resulted
in PEC realizing approximately $647,000 of net gain on the issuance of
shares by Affiliated Companies. The net gain on issuance of shares by
Affiliated Companies in 1992 resulted almost entirely from Scitex's sale in
May 1992 of newly issued ordinary shares of Scitex to International Paper
Company and from Elron's sale in March 1992 of newly issued ordinary shares
of Elron to a group of investors in a private placement.
The net gain on sale of investments in 1993 of approximately $4.1
million resulted from the sale of marketable securities of U.S. companies,
the sale of 30% of the shares of Tefron and the sale of a small portion of
shares of Maxima, while the net gain on sale of investments in 1992 of
approximately $2.0 million resulted from the sale of a small portion of the
shares of Mul-T-Lock, the sale of all of PEC's shares in Tedea
Technological Development and Automation Ltd. and the sale of marketable
securities of U.S. companies.
II-6
The decrease in other income in 1993 reflects principally a loss
with respect to PEC's interest in a limited partnership, which limited
partnership generated income in 1992. The amount of the decrease was
partially offset by increased fees in 1993 for management services.
General and administrative expenses in 1993 increased compared to
1992 due in part to the write-off of deferred American Stock Exchange
listing fees for PEC's common stock and higher costs for financial and
other services provided to the Company.
The provision for income taxes in 1993 decreased to $7.6 million
from $13.2 million in 1992. The reduced provision for income taxes in 1993
is primarily attributable to an increase in the proportion of income from
undistributed earnings of, and gains on issuances of shares by, Majority-
Owned Affiliated Companies to net income in 1993 compared to 1992,
including the $8.5 million gain on issuance of shares by Tambour.
In addition, PEC's provision for income taxes decreased in 1993
as compared to 1992 as a result of PEC's sale of 30% of the shares of
Tefron in 1993. Although PEC had no carrying value for its interest in
Tefron prior to the sale because the carrying value of its interest in
Tefron had previously been reduced as a result of PEC's recognition of
Tefron's losses, the basis of PEC's interest in Tefron for tax purposes prior
to the sale was the cost of such interest. Upon PEC's sale of 30% of the
shares of Tefron, PEC recognized all of the proceeds of such sale as net gain,
but for tax purposes PEC realized a capital loss which reduced PEC's provision
for income taxes by approximately $1.9 million. As discussed in Note 4 to the
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the foregoing reductions in
the provision for income taxes were partially offset by an increased provision
for income taxes of approximately $800,000 as a result of the increase in 1993
in the United States federal corporate income tax rate from 34% to 35% for
taxable income greater than $10 million. Approximately $688,000 of this
increased provision relates to an additional deferred tax provision as of
January 1, 1993.
Effective on January 1, 1993, PEC adopted SFAS 109, which
increased PEC's deferred tax liability by approximately
$1.2 million. As discussed in Note 2 to the Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements, this increased liability has been recorded through
PEC's income statement and reported as a cumulative effect of a change in
accounting principle.
Shareholders' Equity
--------------------
As discussed above and in Note 2 to the Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements, PEC adopted SFAS 115 effective on January 1, 1994.
The effect of adopting SFAS 115 for
II-7
securities classified as "available-for-sale securities" was to
increase shareholders' equity, net of taxes, by approximately $3.8 million
as of January 1, 1994. As a result of decreases in the market value of
"available-for-sale securities" since January 1, 1994, the unrealized gain,
net of taxes, from those securities that was included in shareholders'
equity as of December 31, 1994 was approximately $2.8 million.
As discussed in Note 2 to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements, commencing in 1993, translation differences are reflected in
shareholders' equity as a "Cumulative Translation Adjustment". During
1994, although the consumer price index in Israel rose by 14.5%, the New
Israel Shekel (the "NIS") was devalued by less than 1% against the dollar.
As of December 31, 1994, the Cumulative Translation Adjustment reduced
shareholders' equity by $13.1 million compared to $11.6 million at the end
of 1993. During 1993, the NIS was devalued 8% against the dollar, of which
approximately 60% of devaluation for the entire year occurred in the fourth
quarter of 1993. As of December 31, 1993, the effect on shareholders'
equity was a decrease of approximately $11.6 million.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------
As of December 31, 1994, PEC's liquid assets (consisting of cash,
money market funds, short-term bank deposits, marketable bonds and a
limited partnership interest which PEC sold on January 31, 1995) totaled
approximately $42.7 million. As discussed in Note 6 to the Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements, as of the end of 1994 PEC had
commitments to make capital contributions or loans of up to approximately
$20.7 million to existing Affiliated Companies. For the year ended
December 31, 1994, PEC received cash dividends and interest totaling $8.4
million (including $4.8 million of dividends received from the Affiliated
Companies), which substantially exceeded the amount needed to pay PEC's
general and administrative expenses.
During 1994, PEC generated a total of $24.2 million of liquid
funds, of which $11.2 million was realized from the sale of marketable
securities of U.S. companies, $10.6 million was generated from the
collection of notes, loans and U.S. Government and State obligations, $2
million was generated from the sale of a partnership interest and $400,000
was generated from the sale of securities of Affiliated Companies.
During 1994, PEC purchased equity and debt securities of new and
existing Affiliated Companies for approximately $34.0 million. The new
Affiliated Companies, and PEC's purchase price for their securities,
include CellCom - $8.3 million (represented by notes of CellCom), Delek -
$4.9 million, Liraz - $2.4 million, The Renaissance Fund LDC - $2.2 million
and Sano Dispec -
II-8
$200,000. The existing Affiliated Companies in which PEC purchased
securities in 1994 and the purchase price for such securities consist
primarily of Elron - $7.4 million, DEP Technology Holdings Ltd., the
holding company for PEC's interest in RDC - $1.5 million (represented
by notes of DEP), Nice - $1.3 million, Tambour - $1.2 million, Gemini -
$1 million, Scitex - $800,000 and Tel-Ad - $460,000 (represented by notes
of Tel-Ad). During 1994, PEC purchased marketable securities of U.S.
companies for approximately $11.2 million and paid taxes of approximately
$1.6 million.

HAFT & GLUCKMAN ARTHUR ANDERSEN LLP

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
----------------------------------------
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
of PEC Israel Economic Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of PEC Israel
Economic Corporation (a Maine corporation) and subsidiaries as of December 31,
1994 and 1993, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders'
equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 1994. 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
certain Affiliated Companies of the Company, which statements reflect assets and
equity in net income of $224.8 million and $25.3 million, respectively, of the
consolidated totals as of and for the year ended December 31, 1994, of $154.9
million and $25.9 million, respectively, of the consolidated totals as of and
for the year ended December 31, 1993, and equity in net income of $21.8 million
of the consolidated total for the year ended December 31, 1992. Those
statements were audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to
us and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for those
entities, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. 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 and the reports of other auditors provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
1
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, the
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of PEC Israel Economic Corporation and subsidiaries as of
December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the results of their operations and their cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
As explained in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company
changed its method of accounting for income taxes, effective January 1, 1993,
and the Company changed its method of accounting for marketable securities
effective January 1, 1994.

-----------
PEC Israel Economic Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") organizes,
acquires interests in, finances and participates in the management of companies
which are located in the State of Israel or are Israel-related. The Company is
a subsidiary of IDB Development Corporation Ltd. ("IDB Development"). Discount

Development. IDB Development is a subsidiary of IDB Holding Corporation Ltd.
("IDB Holding"). All of these companies are hereinafter referred to as the "IDB
Group Companies". As of December 31, 1994, IDB Development owned approximately
70.3% of the Company's outstanding common stock. For additional discussion, see
Notes 3(e) and 5.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
------------------------------------------
Investments
-----------
The Company accounts for substantially all of its investments on the equity
method. Under the equity method, the Company records its proportionate share of
profits and losses and capital transactions based on its percentage of direct
and indirect interests in earnings of companies 20% to 50% owned and in
companies less than 20% owned in which the Company, together with the IDB
Group Companies, has the ability to exercise significant influence. These
investees are collectively referred to as "Affiliated Companies".
The excess of cost over net assets acquired and the excess of net assets
acquired over cost, to the extent not otherwise applied, is amortized primarily
over a ten-year period. Gains and losses on issuances of shares by Affiliated
Companies are recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
Equity in net income of Affiliated Companies is reflected in the Company's
financial statements based upon their fiscal years, all of which are December
31.
The Company consolidates its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material
intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

owned Israeli subsidiary of the Company, sells various types of equipment in
Israel, especially power generation equipment. Its assets, liabilities, and
operations are grouped and presented separately in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements.
Effective January 1, 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities" ("SFAS 115"). Under SFAS 115, marketable debt and equity
securities, other than equity securities accounted for under the equity method,
are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses from those
securities
which are classified as "trading securities" included in net income and
unrealized gains and losses from those securities which are classified as
"available-for-sale securities" reported as a separate component of
shareholders' equity. Debt securities classified as "held to maturity" are
reported at amortized cost. The cumulative effect of adopting SFAS 115 as of
January 1, 1994, for securities classified as "trading securities" was an
increase in net income of $2,472,879, net of taxes ($3,804,429 before taxes), or
$0.13 per share, which increase is reported separately in the accompanying
consolidated statements of income. The effect, net of taxes, of adopting SFAS
115 for securities classified as "available-for-sale securities" was an increase
in shareholders' equity of $3,790,603 as of January 1, 1994. As a result
of decreases in the market value of "available-for-sale securities" since
January 1, 1994, the unrealized loss, net of taxes, from those securities
included in shareholders' equity as of December 31, 1994 was $945,253. The
consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1993, included in investments
marketable securities (classified as either "trading securities" or "available
for sale securities") with a market value before taxes of $32 million and a cost
of $24.1 million. For 1993 and 1992, these investments are carried at the lower
of aggregate cost or market. Costs of marketable equity securities, excluding
Affiliated Companies, are determined on a specific identification basis in
calculating gains or losses.
Foreign Currency Translations
-----------------------------
Two foreign subsidiaries and several Affiliated Companies prepare their primary
financial statements in their local currency, the New Israel Shekel ("NIS"), in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Israel, which
require financial statements

Foreign Currency Translations

to be adjusted for the effects of inflation in Israel. For purposes of the
Company's financial statements, these subsidiaries and Affiliated Companies
provide financial information, which for 1994 and 1993 is in the local currency
and for 1992 is in U.S. dollars, prepared in accordance with United States
generally accepted accounting principles.
During 1993, it was determined that the economy of the State of Israel should no
longer be considered "highly inflationary" under the guidelines of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 52. Accordingly, NIS financial information
is prepared by subsidiaries and Affiliated Companies whose "functional currency"
is the local currency based on their dollar balances as of December 31, 1992 and
reflecting their activity during 1994 and 1993 in NIS, which is then translated
based on exchange rates at year-end for assets and liabilities and at average
exchange rates for revenues and expenses. Translation differences are reflected
as a component of shareholders' equity under the caption "Cumulative Translation
Adjustment". Upon disposition of an investment, the related cumulative
translation adjustment balance will be recognized in determining income or loss.
If the NIS is devalued against the dollar, such cumulative translation
adjustments are likely to result in reductions of shareholders' equity. This
change in the accounting of the functional currency does not affect Affiliated
Companies whose "functional currency" is the dollar, as their accounting
continues as described in the following paragraph.
Prior to 1993, and for Affiliated Companies whose functional currency is the
U.S. dollar, assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries and Affiliated
Companies were and are translated using year-end exchange rates, except for
property and equipment, inventory and certain investment and equity accounts
which are translated at exchange rates prevailing on the dates of acquisition.
Revenues and expenses are translated primarily at the exchange rates in effect
at the time of the relevant transactions and partially at average rates of
exchange during the year. Revenue and expense items relating to assets
translated at historical rates are translated on the same basis as the related
asset. Translation differences are included in the determination of income for
the year.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - cont'd
------------------------------------------
Provision for Income Taxes
--------------------------
The provision for income taxes is based on revenues and expenses reported for
financial statement purposes. Deferred taxes arise from the different treatment
of certain items for tax and financial statement reporting purposes, which
result primarily from equity in the net income of, and net gain on issuance of
shares by, Affiliated Companies and the change in market value of marketable
securities in accordance with SFAS 115. The balance of deferred income taxes at
December 31, 1994 was approximately $32 million. The Company's foreign
subsidiaries and the Affiliated Companies file separate tax returns and provide
for taxes accordingly.
Effective on January 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"). Under
SFAS 109, the deferred income tax provision is determined under the liability
method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized
based on differences between financial statement and income tax bases of assets
and liabilities using presently enacted tax rates. Deferred income tax expense
principally represents such temporary differences related to investments in
Affiliated Companies. The cumulative effect on prior years of this change in
accounting principle was a reduction of net income of $1,173,713, or $.06 per
share, and is reported separately in the accompanying consolidated statements of
income. Prior years' consolidated financial statements have not been restated
to apply the provisions of SFAS 109.
Deferred income taxes of approximately $51 million have not been accrued on the
Company's temporary differences, totaling approximately $145 million, related to
its investments in Affiliated Companies which are more than 50% owned by the IDB
Group Companies and two other companies in which the IDB Group Companies have
effective control. Such amounts are currently expected to be permanently
reinvested in these companies.
Cash Equivalents
----------------
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased
with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Reclassification
----------------
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1993 and 1992 consolidated
financial statements to conform with the 1994 presentation.

IDB Holding, through IDB Development, has an equity interest in Clal
(Israel) Ltd. ("Clal"), a publicly traded Israeli company. El-Yam's
proportionate interest in Clal is approximately 8% and the Company's
proportionate share is, therefore, approximately 0.8%. Prior to 1993,
the Company's investment in Clal was carried at cost because of the
inability to obtain the financial information in U.S. dollars in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles that was
necessary in order to record the Company's share in the results of Clal
on the equity basis. For 1993 and 1994, the results of Clal are included
on the equity basis. El-Yam's auditors, in their report on the financial
statements prepared for the Company's purposes, indicate that the
investment prior to 1993 was carried at cost. In view of the Company's
insignificant effective net ownership interest and based on information
provided by Clal, management believes the effect on the Company's
financial statements for 1992 is not material.

(i) Certain of the Affiliated Companies are publicly traded and their shares
are quoted on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange and/or U.S. exchanges. The
market values of the shares owned by the Company, based on the closing
sale price on the principal market on which such shares are traded,
were approximately $302 million and $499 million and their carrying
values were approximately $251 million and $201 million at December 31,
1994 and 1993, respectively. The market value at March 26, 1995 of
shares owned by the Company at December 31, 1994 was approximately $297
million.
(j) Pursuant to an exchange agreement entered into between the Company and
Israel Discount Bank of New York ("IDBNY") in March 1992, the Company
exchanged its common equity interest in IDBNY for nonvoting preferred
shares of IDBNY. Israel Discount Bank Ltd. ("IDBL"), which owns all the
shares of IDBNY other than those owned by the Company, has an option to
acquire the nonvoting preferred shares from the Company at any time up to
September 1995 for approximately $27 million. If IDBL at any time
disposes of IDBNY common shares representing more than 75% of the equity
or voting power in IDBNY, the Company has the right to require the
purchase of the IDBNY nonvoting preferred stock held by the Company at a
price equal to approximately $27 million.
From January 1, 1992, the Company has accounted for its investment in
IDBNY on the cost method. The preferred stock of IDBNY pays an annual
preferred dividend equal to the preferred stock's share of IDBNY's net
income for the year, based generally on the preferred stock's
proportionate share of IDBNY's total shareholders' equity at the
beginning of that year. For this purpose, the preferred stock
constituted approximately 9.0%, 8.9% and 8.6% of the total
shareholders' equity of IDBNY for the years that began on January 1,
1992, 1993 and 1994, respectively. Such preferred stock constitutes
approximately 8.2% of such shareholders' equity for the year beginning on
January 1, 1995. The Company recognizes such dividend income on a
quarterly basis based upon IDBNY's net income for such quarter.

(k) As of December 31, 1994, the Company owned a 2% equity interest in
"Delek" - The Israel Fuel Corporation Ltd. ("Delek") which it acquired
in the summer of 1994 through market purchases on the Tel Aviv Stock
Exchange, and Discount Investment owned a 26% equity interest in Delek.
The Company classifies its equity interest in Delek as "available-for-
sale securities". Delek is not being accounted for under the equity
method because Delek has been unable to provide the Company with its
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1994 prepared in
accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.
At March 26, 1995 and December 31, 1994 the market value of the Company's
equity interest in Delek based on the closing price of Delek's shares on
the Tel Aviv stock exchange was $5,463,622 and $5,407,345, respectively,
and the cost of such equity interest was $4,907,956.

5. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
--------------------
On March 24, 1994, pursuant to a plan of reorganization, PEC Holdings Limited
("PECH"), a Maine corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of IDB Development
which owned 13,193,592 shares of the Company's common stock, transferred those
shares of the Company's common stock to the Company (which holds them as
treasury shares) in exchange for an identical number of newly issued shares of
common stock. Immediately after the exchange, pursuant to such plan of
reorganization, PECH was dissolved and distributed to IDB Development the newly
issued shares of the Company's common stock received in the exchange, resulting
in the Company becoming a direct subsidiary of IDB Development.
On June 1, 1992, the Company sold 3,000,000 newly issued shares of common stock
in an underwritten public offering, generating net proceeds of $37.6 million
after underwriting discounts, commissions and other expenses.

7. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
-----------------------------------
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 107 ("SFAS No. 107") entitled "Disclosures about Fair
Value of Financial Instruments" which requires entities to disclose information
about the estimated fair values of their financial instruments. SFAS No. 107
does not apply to investments accounted for under the equity method (See Note
3).
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of
each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that
value.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
-------------------------
The carrying value approximates fair value because of the short maturity of
those instruments.
Investments
-----------
The fair value of some investments are estimated based on quoted market prices
for those or similar investments or based on contractual amounts.
For those investments for which there are no quoted market prices, management
estimates fair value to approximate the carrying value.

SOMEKH CHAIKIN
Tel-Aviv, March 9, 1995
The Board of Directors
Property and Building Corporation Limited
We have audited the balance sheets of Property and Building Corporation
Limited ("the Company") as at December 31, 1994 and December 31, 1993, the
related statements of earnings and shareholders' equity and cash flows for
each of the three years in the period then ended, expressed in New Israel
Shekels. 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 conducted our audits in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards, including those prescribed under the Auditors
Regulations (Auditor's Mode of Performance) - 1973, and, accordingly we
have performed such auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the
circumstances. For purposes of these financial statements there is no
material difference between generally accepted Israeli auditing standards
and auditing standards generally accepted in the U.S. These 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
presentations. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for
our opinion.
The above statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost as
adjusted for the changes in the general purchasing power of the Israel
currency in accordance with opinions issued by the Institute of Certified
Public Accountants in Israel.
Condensed statements in historical values which formed the basis of the
adjusted statements appear in Note 30 to the financial statements.
In our opinion, based on our audit and the reports of other auditors, the
above mentioned financial statements present fairly the financial position
of the Company as at December 31, 1994 and 1993, the results of its
operations, the changes in shareholder's equity and cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in Israel, consistently applied.
Accounting principles generally accepted in Israel differ in certain
respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States. The application of the latter affects the determination of nominal
net profit and shareholders' equity to the extent summarized in Note 31 C.
to the financial statements.

Note 1 - Reporting Principles and Accounting Policies (Cont'd)
C. Principles of adjustment
1. Balance sheet
Non-monetary items (construction work and advances, land, investment in companies, fixed
assets, deferred charges, share capital), have been adjusted on the basis of changes in the
consumer price index from the index published in respect of the month of the transaction to
the index published in respect of the month of the balance sheet date. Monetary items are
stated in the adjusted balance sheet at their nominal values.
The equity value of investments in related companies is determined on the basis of the
adjusted financial statements of these companies.
2. Statement of earnings
a. The various items of the statement of earnings have been adjusted according to the
changes in the consumer price index as follows:
1) Income and expenses deriving from non-monetary items (such as depreciation
and amortization, building projects, changes in inventory, prepayments and
deferred income, etc.) or from provisions included in the balance sheet (e.g.,
provisions for severance pay, holiday pay, etc.) have been adjusted on the basis
of specific indices parallel to the adjustment of the related balance sheet item.
2) The remaining items in the statement of earnings (e.g., rental income, selling,
general and administrative expenses) except for components of the financing
item, have been adjusted on the basis of the index in respect of the month in
which the transaction was effected.
3) The calculation of the Company's share in the results of operation of the related
companies and the outside shareholders' share in the results of operation of the
related companies was based on the adjusted financial statements of the related
companies.
4) Financing, net, which cannot be independently calculated is derived from the
other items of the statement of earnings. This includes, inter alia, amounts
required to adjust various items in the statement of earnings in respect of the
inflationary component of the financing therein.

C. Principles of adjustment (Cont'd)
b. Taxes on income
Current taxes comprises of payments on account made during the year and, in
addition, amounts to be paid at the balance sheet date (or less amount of repayments
claimed at the balance sheet date). The payments on account have been adjusted on
the basis of the consumer price index on the date the payments were made. Those
amounts payable (or being claimed for repayment) have been included unadjusted.
Current taxes include, therefore, the expense derived from inflationary erosion of the
value of payments made on account from the time of payment up to the year end.
Deferred taxes - see Note 1D.11. below.
3. Statement of changes in shareholders' equity
The dividend that was declared and actually paid in the year has been adjusted on the basis
of the consumer price index at the date of payment. The dividend proposed/declared during
the year but unpaid at the balance sheet date is included with no adjustment. The amount
stated as "erosion in value of dividend" reflects the erosion of the real value of the dividend
proposed/declared in the previous year and actually paid during the current year (this erosion
relates to the period from the beginning of the current year up to the date of payment).
4. Statement of cash flows
The statement has been prepared in accordance with Opinion No. 51 of the Institute of
Certified Public Accountants in Israel. The statement provides information on cash receipts
and payments during the year from current activities, investment and finance, while being
expressed in shekels of the end of the reported year.
D. Accounting policies
1. Consolidated financial statements
a. The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company
and the Company's subsidiaries in which it hold more than 50% (see Appendix to the
Financial Statements).
b. For the purposes of consolidation, the amounts in the financial statements of the
subsidiary companies being consolidated were included after adjustments required from
application of the uniform accounting principles of the Group.
c. Balances between consolidated companies and inter-company profits from sales
between the companies not yet realized outside of the group were cancelled.

subsidiaries that are property companies (which were established for the sole purpose
of holding real estate or for their rental) are included in the balance sheets according
to the cost of these assets to those subsidiaries.
In the statement of earnings, the income and expenses relating to the above assets

"percentage of completion" method of recording income from long-term contracts.
4. Inventory of air-conditioning and other equipment
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market value, cost being determined on the "FIFO"
basis.

projects and stated under current assets or as a deduction from advances from
purchasers of apartments under current liabilities.
c. Stores in completed buildings are stated at cost not less than market value.
6. Investments in related and other companies
a. Investments in related companies are stated on the equity basis. The investments in
shares of other companies, which are not quoted securities, are stated at cost which,
in management's opinion, is not less than market value.
b. The Company's equity in the profits and losses of the related companies is based on
the latest audited financial statements of these companies, some of which were
prepared as at dates prior to the balance sheet date of the Company.
c. The initial difference regarding related companies, is allocated to assets of those same
companies (building projects, land and fixed assets) and their amortization as an
expense or as an income is made in accordance with the life of those assets or upon
their realization; amounts which cannot be allocated to such assets are amortized at
20% per year.
7. Fixed assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using straight line method over the
estimated useful life of the assets.
8. Other assets - Initial difference which cannot be allocated to assets - see not 1(6)C).

9. Deferred charges
a. Expenses relating to the issue of the debentures are written off against income over
the life of the debentures in proportion to their outstanding balance.
b. Taxes in connection with unrealized profits from real estate transactions - taxes relating
to real estate transaction are amortized over the life of the asset or parallel to the
period of transaction.
10. Debentures convertible into shares
a. Debentures, the conversion of which is not, as at balance sheet date, expected
according to guidelines set by the Institute, are stated under the framework of long-
term loans. The debentures include the liabilities at the balance sheet date in
accordance with the conditions of the issue, less the discount which has not been
amortized at the balance sheet date.
b. The above discount (resulting from the difference between amount of the linked liability
at the date of the issue and the nominal value of the debentures) is amortized using the
straight line method over the period of the debentures in proportion to their outstanding
balance.
11. Deferred tax
The calculation of deferred tax in the adjusted financial statements account mainly for the
following areas of timing differences of items between their being charged in the financial
statements and their inclusion in chargeable income for tax purposes, or because their
treatment for tax purposes is different:
a. Non-allowance for tax purposes of depreciation arising from the adjustment of fixed
assets.

of the year.
c. Differences relating to adjustment of cost of inventory, advances from customers,

f. Advance rental payments which are liable to tax upon receipt and other timing
differences.
Deferred taxes are computed using the tax rate expected to be in effect at the time of

intention of the management is to hold these companies and not to realize them.
12. Provision for doubtful debts

balances whose collection is in doubt.
13. Foreign currency and linkage

Note 16 - Taxes on Income
A. Tax under inflationary conditions
The Income Tax Law (Adjustments for Inflation) - 1985, effective beginning with the 1985 tax year,
put into practice measurements of the results for tax purposes, on a real basis. The various
adjustments required by the above Law are intended to result in the taxation based on the real
income.
This notwithstanding, the adjustment of the nominal profit according to the tax laws does not
always equal the adjustment for inflation according to the opinions of the Institute of Certified
Public Accountants in Israel. As a result there are differences between the adjusted profit per the
financial statements and the adjusted profit for tax purposes. In respect of deferred tax relating to
these differences, see Note 1D. 11. and Note 16C. In respect of reconciliation with the theoretical
tax rate, see Note 27D.
B. Carryforward to coming years of losses and deductions for tax purposes
Carryforward losses to coming years for tax purposes in subsidiary companies, adjusted for inflation
are in the amount of NIS 15,941 thousand as at the balance sheet date (December 31, 1993 -
NIS 14,153 thousand). In respect of these losses no deferred taxes have been recorded.
Losses from securities that are deductible in the future years against a real income from marketable
securities amount to at balance sheet date to an adjusted amount of NIS 20,455 thousand. No
deferred taxes have been provided for these losses.
Deductions for inflation of subsidiaries carried forward are in the amount of NIS 10,866 thousand
(December 31, 1993 - NIS 8,346 thousand). The balances of carryforward losses and the
deduction for inflation are carried forward linked to the changes in the consumer price index as per
the Law mentioned in A above.

Note 19 - Contingent Liabilities and Commitments (Cont'd)
B. Commitments
1. In the terms of a prospectus for the issue of debentures (series "B") by a subsidiary as stated
in Note 17A., the Company supplied a bank with debentures out of the aforementioned issue,
in an amount of NIS 375,000 N.V. and cash of NIS 337,500 linked with terms identical to
those of the debentures. The debentures and cash held by the bank will be used to ensure
regular trading at the stock exchange and will be reduced proportionately to the repayment
of the debentures. As at December 31, 1994, balances held by the bank, per the above
arrangement, amounted to NIS 377 thousand (nominal value) in debentures and NIS 547
thousand in cash (including short-term deposits) (December 31, 1993 - NIS 375 thousand
nominal value and NIS 578 thousand, in cash).
2. There are commitments of the Company and consolidated companies in respect of
construction works and land purchasing estimated at balance sheet date to an approximate
amount of NIS 104 million.
3. In respect of land that was purchased by consolidated companies, there is a commitment
under certain terms, to add to the value the equivalent sum of U.S. $625,000. After the
balance sheet date the commitment was paid.
4. A subsidiary leased out part of a building to the Government of Israel for a term of 15 years,
from the year 1992, with a right, of the lessee, to shorten the term to 12 years.
C. In May 1986, a claim was lodged against the Company and a subsidiary, in respect of
brokerage fees for a real estate transaction. As at balance sheet date the claim was set at
approximately NIS 5 million (including linkage increments). According to legal counsel of the
Company, under the circumstances of the case as described by the companies and based on
data supplied by them and the criteria set forth by court decisions in similar cases, the
claimant is not entitled to brokerage fees, neither from the Company nor from its subsidiary;
accordingly no provision therefor has been made in the accounts with relation to the
aforementioned claim.
D. The Value Added Tax authorities have issued assessments to a consolidated subsidiary, for
the period January 1, 1990 through September 30, 1994, wherein they disallowed the
offsetting of tax input items relating to development activities, in an amount of NIS 3.2
million including linkage differences, interest, and penalties. In the opinion of its legal counsel
representing the Company in this case, there are good reasons that the assessed amounts
will be cancelled and, accordingly, no provision therefore has been recorded in the books.

exercisable for ordinary registered shares of NIS 1 nominal value each, of the Company,

placement of options, exercisable for registered ordinary shares of NIS 1 par value of the
Company having an aggregate par value of NIS 14,860, to senior employees of the Company

Note 31 - Statements for Incorporation in the Financial Statements of PEC
A. Change in Reporting Principles
The main consolidated financial statements of Property and Building Corporation Limited and
Subsidiary Companies as at December 31, 1994 and for the year ended at that date are prepared
in NIS adjusted for the changes in the consumer price index, according to the rules set forth in the
opinions of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Israel.
For the purpose of their inclusion in the financial statements of the ultimate American shareholder
of the Company, PEC Israel Economic Corporation ("PEC"), the Company prepared these special
condensed financial statements ("special statements") which are presented in accordance with the
instructions of PEC (see below).
Up to and including December 31, 1992, for the purpose of inclusion in the financial statements
of PEC, the Company prepared financial statements in U.S. dollars ("dollars"). These dollar financial
statements were translated into dollar terms in accordance with the remeasurement principles set
forth in Opinion No. 52 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board of the United States for
entities operating in highly inflationary economies.
The rate of inflation declined significantly in recent years. For this reason, in 1993 PEC decided
that the translation to dollars will be done in accordance with the principles applied regarding
economies which are no longer considered highly inflationary.

SOMEKH CHAIKIN
Haifa, March 6, 1995
Independent Auditor's Report to the Shareholders of
Tambour Limited
We have audited the balance sheets of Tambour Limited ("the Company") and
the balance sheets of the Company and subsidiary companies as at December
31, 1994 and 1993, the related statements of income and shareholders'
equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period then ended,
expressed in New Israel Shekels. 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 conducted our audits in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards, including those prescribed under the Auditors
Regulations (Auditor's Mode of Performance), 1973 and, accordingly we have
performed such auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the
circumstances. For the purposes of these financial statements there is no
material difference between generally accepted Israeli auditing standards
and auditing standards generally accepted in the U.S. These 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.
The above statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost as
adjusted for the changes in the general purchasing power of the Israel
currency in accordance with opinions issued by the Institute of Certified
Public Accountants in Israel.
Condensed statements of the Company in historical values which formed the
basis of the adjusted statements appear in Note 20 to the financial
statements.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Member of the Price Waterhouse Worldwide Organization
The financial statements of a consolidated company whose revenues in 1992
comprised approximately 3.3% of the total revenues in the consolidated
statement of income, were audited in 1992 by another auditor.
In our opinion, based on our audit and the reports of another auditor, as
mentioned above, the above-mentioned financial statements present fairly
the financial position of the Company and of the Company and subsidiary
companies as at December 31, 1994 and 1993, the results of operations, the
changes in shareholder's equity and cash flows for each of the three years
in the period ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in Israel, consistently applied.
Accounting principles generally accepted in Israel differ in certain
respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States. The application of the latter would have affected the
determination of nominal net income and shareholders' equity to the extent
summarized in Note 22 to the financial statements.

Institute.

their cost adjusted for the changes in the general purchasing power of
the Shekel.

C. Principles of adjustment
1. The Balance Sheet
Non-monetary items (mainly property, plant and equipment, inventories,
share capital and paid-in capital) were adjusted for the changes in the
consumer price index from the month of execution of each transaction up
to the index published for the balance sheet month.
Monetary items are presented in the adjusted balance sheet at nominal
value.
The value on equity basis of affiliated and subsidiary companies is
determined according to the adjusted financial statements of those
companies.
Deferred taxes, net, are computed based on the adjusted data.
2. Statements of Income
The items of the statements of income were adjusted according to the
changes in the Consumer Price Index as follows:
a. Income and expenses deriving from non-monetary items (such as
depreciation and amortization, changes in inventory, prepaid
expenses and income, etc.) or from provisions included in the
balance sheet (such as severance pay and vacation provision,
etc.), were adjusted according to specific indices together with
adjustment of the balance sheet item.
b. The remaining items of the statement of income (such as sales,
purchases and production costs, etc.), other than the elements of
finance income (expense), were adjusted according to indices of
the month the transaction was took place.
c. The equity in the operating results of affiliated and subsidiary
companies not consolidated, and the minority interest of
consolidated subsidiaries' operating results, were determined
based on the adjusted financial statements of the respective
companies.
d. Finance income (expense), net, which cannot be calculated
separately, is derived from the other elements of the financial
statements. The item contains, inter alia, amounts required to
correct various items in the statement of income for the
inflationary component of the finance expenses incorporated
therein.
e. Income taxes - Current taxes consist of advance payments made
during the year and amounts due at the balance sheet date (or net
of amounts to be refunded as of the balance sheet date). The
advance payments are adjusted on the basis of the index at
the time of each payment, while the amounts due (or refund due)
are not adjusted. Therefore, the current taxes include the expense
resulting from the erosion of the value of the advance tax payments
from the date of payment to the balance sheet date.
Deferred taxes - see Notes 2K and 16C.

of real profits.

control in them, appears in the Appendix to the financial statements.
2. The equity acquired in excess of the cost of investments in
subsidiaries - not ascribed to specific assets, is included in
liabilities as deferred credits, net, and is amortized by the
straight line method over a period of five years.
3. All intercompany balances, transactions and income from intercompany
sales not yet realized outside the group - have been eliminated.

G. Inventories
Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market value. The cost is
determined mainly as follows:
Raw materials and packaging materials - moving average method.
Finished products - based on computed costs of product, including raw
materials, packaging materials, labor and fringe benefits and other production
costs.
Work in progress - based on raw materials plus actual production costs.
H. Allowance for doubtful accounts
Allowance for doubtful accounts is computed mainly at a rate of 8.5% of the
open balances of accounts receivable at year end.
I. Government loans and other securities
1. Government loans
Loans that can be redeemed early by transfer to the Bank of Israel, are
presented at their redemption value, as per the Opinions of the
Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Israel.
The changes in loan value are included in the statements of income.
2. Marketable securities
Short-term marketable securities are presented on the basis of their
market value on the balance sheet date.
The changes in their value are ascribed to the statement of income.
J. Property, plant and equipment
1. Property, plant and equipment are presented at cost.
2. The cost of assets for which an investment grant was received is
reflected net of the amount of the grant.
3. Improvements are added to the cost of assets, while maintenance and
repair expenses are expenses as incurred.
4. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method, based on the
estimated useful lives of the assets.

--------
Buildings (*) 5 - 10
Machinery and equipment 10 - 20
Motor vehicles 15 - 20
Computers 20 - 33
Furniture and office equipment 6 - 100
* Buildings built or acquired up to 1993 - 10%.
5. Assets leased by capital lease are presented as Company assets at their
normal purchase price (without the financing element), and depreciated
at the accepted rates for such assets. Lease amounts payable in coming
years, after deduction of the inherent finance element, are included in
liabilities. The interest on these amounts is accrued currently and
ascribed to the statement of income.
K. Deferred taxes
Companies in the group regulate the tax burden for timing differences of
expense and income items between accounting and income tax purposes,
additions from inventory adjustment and the adjustment element of depreciable
assets not recognized for tax purposes.
The amount deferred each year are computed according to the liabilities
approach at the tax rates that will be applicable on utilization of the
deferred taxes or on realization of the tax benefits, as known at the time
of authorization of the financial statements by the Board of Directors.
Deferred taxes included in current assets pertain to current items (inventory,
provisions for vacation, etc). Deferred taxes included in "Investments and
long-term debit balances" pertain to items that are not current (property,
plant and equipment, etc.)
The main factors in respect of which deferred taxes are not computed are as
follows:
a. Adjustment amounts for changes in the purchasing power of the Shekel
with reference to private motor vehicles, under the rules determined by
the Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Israel.
b. Investments in held companies, since the Company intends to hold such
investments and not sell them.
c. Timing differences, net, for which a tax asset should be created but the
possibility of realization of the benefit is in doubt.
d. Accumulated losses for tax purposes of a subsidiary acquired in 1992.

Earnings per share are computed in accordance with Opinion No. 55 of the
Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Israel.
The computation of primary earnings per share takes into account warrants
issued by the Company if their exercise is reasonable according to the tests
provided in the above Opinion.
Computation of the diluted earnings per share takes into account warrants
issued by the Company that were not included in the computation of the
primary earnings per share, if their exercise does not lead to an increase
in earnings per share (anti-dilutive effect).
N. Foreign currency and linkage

F. Transactions with banking groups
Certain banking groups, including via provident funds or mutual funds under
their management, purchase and sell the company's shares as part of their day
to day business. Occasionally, these banking groups' holdings of the
outstanding share capital of the Company exceed 5% (which classifies them
as "interested parties" as defined under the securities law) and occasionally
fall below 5%.
During the ordinary course of business, the Company carries out transactions
with entities that may be defined as interested parties by being related to
these banking groups.
In light of the type of investment of the banking groups in the company, it
is not practical to keep record of entities that constitute interested
parties in the company because of the banking groups holdings and, regarding
transactions that the company carries out with them, accordingly, no
information regarding transactions with these institutes is included in
these financial statements. In addition, according to the Company's
management, transactions with these entities were carried out in the ordinary
course of business with terms and prices that are usual in the company.

Note 21 - Subsequent Events
A. On March 6, 1995, the Board of Directors of the Company decided upon
an interim cash dividend distribution in the amount of NIS 10,000
thousands which constitutes NIS 0.165 per NIS 1 par value of shares
outstanding on the date of declaration. This dividend is included
in the financial statements as a dividend declared.
B. Expiration of warrants - see Note 13B (4).
C. Due to the continued fall of prices of securities traded on the stock
exchange after the balance sheet date, the Company accumulated
additional losses in the amount of NIS 1,000 thousand from the decrease
in value of marketable securities.
Note 22 - Consolidated Financial Data Presented according to U.S. GAAP
A. Change in Method of Reporting
In December 1981, the Financial Accounting Standards Board in the U.S.A.
established a new standard for reporting the financial position and results
of operations of foreign subsidiaries in United States (U.S.) consolidated
financial statements (SFAS No. 52). The Israeli subsidiaries and investees
of PEC Israel Economic Corporation (PEC) had been preparing U.S. dollar
financial statements under SFAS No. 52 utilizing the hyperinflationary
economy approach which essentially retains historical dollar values for
non-monetary assets including long-term investments, property and equipment
and equity accounts.
The inflation rate in Israel has steadily declined to the point that the use
of historical dollar accounting as prescribed in SFAS No. 52 may no longer be
appropriate for the translation of financial statements of subsidiaries and
investees based in Israel. Under hyperinflationary accounting (SFAS No. 52),
the functional currency of the Israeli entities was defined as the reporting
currency of the U.S. investor. For the purpose of PEC's investee companies
the transition date for the reporting currency basis was determined to be
December 31, 1992. Consequently, as from January 1, 1993, for U.S. GAAP
purposes, this conversion has been implemented as follows:
1. Dollar values which had been maintained on an historical accounting
basis (such as land, buildings, machinery and equipment, investments,
etc.) have been translated into NIS at the exchange rate ruling at
December 31, 1992.
2. Shareholders' equity has been translated on an historical basis.
The treatment of transactions carried out during the year was as follows:
1. Depreciation of assets converted according to 1. above was computed on
the new NIS value over the remaining useful lives of the assets.
2. All other transactions have been presented on the same basis as the
nominal consolidated financial statements. Section B of this note
explains the differences between the nominal NIS financial statements
prepared according to Israeli GAAP and the financial statement data
presented in NIS according to U.S. GAAP for the purposes of PEC.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note 22 - Consolidated Financial Data Presented according to U.S. GAAP (cont'd)
A. Change in Method of Reporting (cont'd)
3. Deferred taxes associated with the temporary difference that arise from a
change in functional currency when an economy ceases to be considered
highly inflationary, are reflected (as per FASB's EITF 92-8) as an
adjustment to the cumulative translation adjustments component of
shareholders's equity.
B. The main differences between the financial statements contained in
Sections C, D and E of this note prepared according to U.S. GAAP and
the financial statements prepared according to Israeli GAAP are as
follows:
(1) Warrants issued to employees
Warrants issued to employees free of charge were recorded as an expense
in 1993 in these financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The
warrants issued to employees were recorded as an expense in the nominal
shekels financial statements in 1994 at the amount which was taxable to
the employees - see Note 13B (5).
The tax effect of this expense is included in the nominal NIS financial
statements in the Statement of Income. For the purposes of the financial
statements contained in this Note, prepared according to U.S. GAAP, the
tax effect is included partially in the Statements of Income and the
remainder is added to paid-in capital.
(2) Reserves in Shareholders' equity
Land, buildings, machinery and equipment were revalued in 1982 and a
capital reserve was created in the nominal financial statements as
permitted by Israeli GAAP. These assets are stated at historical cost
and no capital reserves exist in the financial statements that follow
in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
(3) Deferred credit (negative goodwill)
The consolidated nominal NIS financial statements include a deferred
credit amortized over five years, as permitted by Israeli GAAP. For
the purposes of the financial statements contained in this note,
prepared according to U.S. GAAP, property, plant and equipment have
been reduced by the excess cost over the assigned value of net assets
acquired.
(4) Dividends declared
According to Israeli GAAP, dividends from the earnings of a year are
accrued at the end of that year even though they are approved after
that year's end. For the purposes of the financial statements
contained in this note, these dividends have not been accrued since,
according to U.S. GAAP, dividends are reflected as a liability when
declared.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS TO THE
SHAREHOLDERS OF BULK TRADING CORPORATION LIMITED
We have audited the balance sheets of Bulk Trading Corporation Limited as
at December 31, 1994 and 1993, the related statements of income and
shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the
period then ended, expressed in New Israel Shekels. 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 conducted our audits in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards, including those prescribed under the Auditors
Regulations (Auditor's Mode of Performance), 1973 and, accordingly we have
performed such auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the
circumstances. For purposes of these financial statements there is no
material difference between generally accepted Israeli auditing standards
and auditing standards generally accepted in the U.S. These 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
presentations. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for
our opinion.
The above statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost as
adjusted for the changes in the general purchasing power of the Israel
currency in accordance with opinions issued by the Institute of Certified
Public Accountants in Israel.

operations, the changes in shareholder's equity and cash flows for each of

respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United

determination of nominal/historical net profit (loss) and shareholders'
equity to the extent summarized in Note 16 to the financial statements.

of the Company as at December 31, 1994 and 1993, the results of its
operations, the changes in shareholder's equity and cash flows of each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in Israel, consistently applied.
Accounting principles generally accepted in Israel differ in certain
respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States. The application of the latter would have affected the
determination of nominal/historical net profit and shareholders' equity to
the extent summarized in Note 25 to the financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Shareholders of Elron Electronic Industries Ltd.
(extended form to comply with U.S. standards)
We have audited the balance sheets of Elron Electronic Industries Ltd.,
(the "Company") as of December 31, 1994 and 1993 and the statements of
income, shareholders' equity and cash flows for the years ended December
31, 1994, 1993 and 1992. 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 conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards in Israel and the United States, including those prescribed by
the Auditors' (Mode of Performance) Regulations (Israel), 1973. 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 statements' presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the aforementioned financial statements present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December
31, 1994 and 1993 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the
years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in Israel (as to reconciliation to accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States - see Note 2K).
As more fully disclosed in Note 2J to the financial statements, the Company
changed in 1993 its method of accounting for income taxes.

----------------------------------------
We have examined the special purpose Consolidated Balance Sheet of El-Yam Ships
Ltd. as at December 31, 1994 and 1993 and the related Consolidated Statements of
Income, Retained Earnings and Cash Flows for each of the three years ended
December 31, 1994. Our examination was made in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards, including the rules prescribed under the Israel
Auditor's Regulations (Auditor's Mode of Performance), 1973, and accordingly we
have applied such auditing procedures as we considered necessary in these
circumstances.
As stated at the end of Note 2d, prior to 1993, an investment by the affiliated
company in an affiliate was carried at cost, due to the fact that the necessary
data in U.S. dollars for inclusion at equity could not be furnished.
In our opinion, except as noted in the previous paragraph as to 1992, the above
Consolidated Financial Statements, derived from the primary financial statements
expressed in Israel currency, present fairly in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles the financial position of the Company and its
subsidiaries as at December 31, 1994 and 1993 and the results of the operations
and cash flows for each of three years ended December 31, 1994.
Pursuant to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission requirements we
state:
(1) The auditing standards and procedures mentioned above are Israeli auditing
standards and procedures and were augmented by any additional procedures
that were considered necessary, in order to comply with generally accepted
auditing standards in the United States.
(2) These financial statements differ from those issued in Israel (in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in Israel) as
explained in Note 1 to the financial statements.

to the Board of Directors of

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Gemini Israel Fund L.P.
as of December 31, 1994 and December 31, 1993, statements of income,
changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the year ended December
31, 1994 and for the eleven month period ended December 31, 1993,
translated into U.S. dollars. 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 conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,

of December 31, 1994 and December 31, 1993, the results of its operations,
changes in its shareholders' equity and cash flows for the year ended

As explained in Note 2, the financial statements include investments valued
at U.S. dollars 5,516 thousand (previous year - U.S. dollars 3,805
thousand) (33% of partners capital at balance sheet date, previous year -
53%) whose values have been estimated by the Limited Partnership's general
partner in the absence of readily ascertainable market values. We have
reviewed the procedures used by the general partner in arriving at its
estimate of value of such investments and have inspected underlying
documentation and in the circumstances we believe the procedures are
reasonable and the documentation appropriate. However, because of the
inherent uncertainty of valuation these estimated values may differ
significantly from the values that would have been used, had a ready market
for the investments existed and the differences could be material.

with generally accepted auditing standards, including those prescribed by
the Israeli Auditors (Mode of Performance) Regulations, 1973, and
accordingly we have applied such auditing procedures as we considered
necessary in the circumstances. Data relating to the Company's share in
profits of an associated company - adjusted NIS 150,486 for 1994 (1993 -
share in losses - adjusted NIS 346,851) are based on that associated
company's financial statements which have been examined by other certified
public accountants.
The aforementioned financial statements have been prepared on the basis of
historical cost adjusted to reflect the changes in the general purchasing
power of Israeli currency, in accordance with Opinions of the Institute of
Certified Public Accountants in Israel. Condensed nominal Israeli currency
data of the Company, on the basis of which its adjusted financial
statements were prepared, are presented in note 14.
In our opinion, based upon our examinations and the reports of the other
accountants referred to above, the aforementioned financial statements
present fairly, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted

years 1994, 1993 and 1992 constitutes approximately 3%, 3.7%, and 2.6%,
respectively, of total consolidated turnover, have been examined by other
certified public accountants.
The aforementioned financial statements have been prepared on the basis of
historical cost adjusted to reflect the changes in the general purchasing power
of Israeli currency, in accordance with Opinions of the Institute of Certified
Public Accountants in Israel. Condensed nominal Israeli currency data of the
company, on the basis of which its adjusted financial statements were prepared,
are presented in note 16.
In our opinion, based upon our examinations and the reports of the other
accountants referred to above, the aforementioned financial statements present
fairly, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, the
financial position - of the company and consolidated - at December 31, 1994 and
1993 and the results of operations and cash flows - of the company and
consolidated - for the three years ended December 31, 1994. Also, in our
opinion, the abovementioned financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the Securities (Preparation of Annual Financial Statements)
Regulations, 1993.
Accounting principles generally accepted in Israel differ in certain respects
from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The
application of the latter would have affected the determination of
nominal/historical net income and shareholders' equity to the extent summarized
in note 17.

FOR PARENT COMPANY PURPOSES
---------------------------
We have examined the balance sheet of PEC Finance Company Ltd. at
December 31, 1994 and December 31, 1993, and the statements of profit and
loss, of changes in shareholders' equity and of cash flows for each of the
three years then ended. Our examination was made in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards, including those prescribed by the
Auditors' Regulations (Mode of Performance), 1973, and we accordingly
applied such auditing procedures as we considered necessary under the
circumstances.
The above financial statements were prepared on the historical cost
basis, adjusted for the changes in the general purchasing power of the
Israeli currency, in accordance with Statements of Opinion issued by the
Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Israel. A summary of the
Company's financial statements in nominal (historical) New Israel Shekels,
on the basis of which the adjusted financial statements were prepared, is
included in Note 10.
Financial statements as of dates and for periods prior to January 1,
1993 were examined by other auditors.
In our opinion, based on our examination, the financial statements
referred to above present fairly, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles, the financial position of the Company as at December
31, 1994 and December 31, 1993, and the results of its operations, changes
in shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years then
ended.
Accounting principles generally accepted in Israel differ in certain
respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States. The application of the latter would not have affected the
determination of nominal/historical net profit nor shareholders' equity for
the year ended December 31, 1994.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF
RTS TELECOMMUNICATIONS SERVICES LIMITED
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of RTS Telecommunications
Services Limited as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the related
statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for the two
years then ended. 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 audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. 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 audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of RTS Telecommunications
Services Limited as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the two years then ended in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has suffered
recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that
raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
For a clarification on this issue refer to Note 6. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability
and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and
classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be
unable to continue as a going concern.

Report of Independent Public Accountants of
Sign-on Tikshouv Services Ltd.
We have audited the balance sheet of Sign-on Tikshouv Services Ltd. as at
December 31, 1994 and 1993, the related statement of income and
shareholders' equity and cash flows for the two year in the period then
ended, expressed in New Israel Shekels. 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 conducted our audits in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards, including those prescribed under the Auditors
Regulations (Auditor's Mode of Performance), 1973 and, accordingly we have
performed such auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the
circumstances. For purposes of these financial statements there is no
material difference between generally accepted Israeli auditing standards
and auditing standards generally accepted in the U.S. These 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
presentations. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for
our opinion.
The above statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost as
adjusted for the changes in the general purchasing power of the Israel
currency in accordance with opinions issued by the Institute of Certified
Public Accountants in Israel.
Condensed statements in historical values which formed the basis of the
adjusted statements appear in Note 17 to the financial statements.
Comparative data for the years ended December 31, 1992 included in the
financial statements have been audited and reported upon by other auditors.
In our opinion, based on our audit and the reports of other auditors, the
above mentioned financial statements present fairly the financial position
of the Company as at December 31, 1994 and 1993, the results of its
operations, the changes in shareholder's equity and cash flows for each of
the two years in the period ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in Israel, consistently applied.

Report of Independent Public Accountants
to the Shareholders of Super-Sol Limited
We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Super-Sol and its
subsidiaries and the financial statements of the Company as at December 31,
1994 and 1993, the related statements of income and shareholders' equity
and cash flows for each of the three years in the period then ended,
expressed in New Israel Shekels. These financial statements are the

The financial statements of certain consoldiated companies whose assets
represent approximately 3.3% of the total assets included in the
consolidated balance sheet and whose income represents approximately 3.9%
of the income included in the consolidated statments of income were
examined by other auditors who provided us with their reports. Similarly
the data relating to the equity value of investments in the consolidated
financial statments of investments in affiliated companies and to the
group's share in the results of these companies presented on an equity
basis are based on financial statements some of which were audited by other
auditors.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
To the Shareholders of
TEL-AD JERUSALEM STUDIOS LIMITED
We have audited the balance sheet of Tel-Ad Jerusalem
Studios Limited (hereafter - "the Company") at December 31, 1994,
and the related statements of operations, changes in
shareholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended. Our
audit was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, including those prescribed by the Auditors (Mode of
Performance) Regulations (Israel), 1973, and, accordingly,
included such tests of the accounting records and such other
auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the
circumstances.
The financial statements of the affiliated company have
been examined by other auditors.
The aforementioned financial statements have been
prepared on the basis of the historical costs adjusted for the
changes in the general purchasing power of the Israeli currency
as measured by the changes in the Israeli Consumer Price Index,
as required by Statements of the Institute of Certified Public
Accountants in Israel.
A summary of the financial statements in nominal
(historical) new Israeli Shekels which served as a basis for the
adjusted statements, is presented in Note 21.
In our opinion, based upon our examinations and the
reports of the other auditors referred to above, the
aforementioned financial statements present fairly the financial
position of the Company at December 31, 1994, and the results of
its operations, the changes in its shareholders' equity and its
cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in Israel.
Pursuant to Section 211 of the Companies Ordinance (New
Version), 1983, we state that we have obtained all the
information and explanations we have required and that our
opinion on the above statements is given according to the best of
our information and the explanations received by us and as shown
by the books of the Company.
At the request of part of the shareholders we have
remeasured into Nominal NIS, according to the principles
determined in SFAS 52, the figures of the balance sheets as of
December 31, 1994 and the statements of operations for the year
ended December 31, 1994, as presented in the appendix to the
financial statements.
The remeasured financial statements do not include part
of the disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.
In our opinion, the remeasured financial statements,
except for the absence of part of the disclosures required, are
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States and in Israel (as applicable to these financial
statements, such accounting principles are in all material
respects substantially identical).
Also, in our opinion, the translation of the
aforementioned nominal figures into Nominal NIS is proper, and
was made in accordance with the principles set forth in SFAS 52.
