It highlights the most material information regarding our offer, but you should realize that it does not describe all of the details of our offer. We urge you to read this entire document and the accompanying Letter of Transmittal because they contain the full details of our offer. We have included references to the sections of this document where a more complete discussion is set forth. If you have questions or require assistance, contact our Information Agent at the address and telephone number provided on the back cover of this document. Who is offering to purchase my ordinary shares? o We are Chun Holdings Ltd., an Israeli private company. We are offering to purchase all of your ordinary shares of B.V.R. Systems. See Introduction and "The Offer -- Certain Information Concerning Us." o We are controlled by Aviv Tzidon, Aeronautics Defense Systems Ltd. and iTS Technologies Pte. Ltd. Because they control us and helped to structure our offer, our offer may be deemed to be made on behalf of these controlling persons, and in this offer to purchase we refer to them and us collectively as our "bidder group." Our bidder group currently does not own any outstanding ordinary shares of B.V.R. Systems. How much are you offering to pay and what is the form of payment? o We are offering to pay $0.18 per share, in cash and without interest. See "The Offer -- Terms of Our Offer." How many ordinary shares will you purchase? o We are offering to purchase all of the ordinary shares of B.V.R. Systems. See "The Offer -- Terms of Our Offer." Do you have enough financial resources to make payment? o We have deposited in escrow an amount of cash, $1,918,958, which is sufficient to pay for all of the outstanding shares. The funds deposited in the escrow account are derived from cash on hand of the members of the bidder group. See "The Offer -- Source and Amount of Funds." 1 Is your financial condition relevant to my decision to tender in your offer? o Because the form of payment consists solely of cash and our offer is not conditioned on any financing arrangement, we do not think that our financial condition is relevant to your decision to tender your shares in our offer. How long do I have to decide whether to tender my shares in your offer? o You may tender your ordinary shares until December 23, 2003, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time. If you are unable to deliver everything that is required in order to make a valid tender by that time, you may be able to use the guaranteed delivery procedure. See "The Offer -- Terms of Our Offer" and "The Offer -- Procedure for Tendering Shares." How will I be notified if you extend your offer? o If we decide to extend our offer, we will issue a press release no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the previously scheduled expiration date. See "The Offer -- Terms of Our Offer." Are there any conditions to your offer? o Our offer is conditioned on, among other things, there being validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of our offer at least 48% of the issued and outstanding shares of B.V.R. Systems. See "The Offer - Conditions to Our Offer and Rights to Withdraw Our Offer." o Under the Israeli Companies Law, all shareholders have an opportunity to state whether they accept or oppose our offer. By tendering your shares, you will state that you accept the offer for these purposes. If you wish to oppose the offer, it is not sufficient to refrain from tendering your shares. Instead, you must complete and submit an Opposition Notice. We may complete this offer only if the number of shares stated to accept our offer is a majority among the total shares stated, not taking into account shares held by any controlling shareholder of B.V.R. Systems and their affiliates and shares held by the bidder group or by persons acting on its behalf. See "The Offer -- Procedure for Tendering Shares -- Special Purchase Offer Procedures." 2 Is this tender offer part of a going private transaction? o No. We may become the sole shareholder of B.V.R. Systems as a result of this offer, but this offer is not regulated as a Rule 13e-3 "going private" transaction because it will not have any of the effects specified in that rule. A transaction is subject to regulation under Rule 13e-3 only if it has a reasonable likelihood or purpose to: o Cause a registered class of shares to be held of record by less than 300 persons, or o cause a class of shares to be delisted or removed from certain national exchanges or inter-dealer quotation systems. Before we first approached B.V.R. Systems or commenced this offer, the shares of B.V.R. Systems already were held of record by less than 300 persons, and already were quoted only on the pink sheets, which is not a national quotation system covered by the rule. See "The Offer -- Background of the Offer." What does B.V.R. Systems' board of directors think of your offer? o The board of directors of B.V.R. Systems has discussed the advisability of our offer and has decided to recommend to the shareholders that they accept our offer. See "The Offer -- Recommendation of B.V.R. Systems." Are the shares traded or quoted on any market or quotation system? o The shares were removed from the OTC Bulletin Board on October 13, 2003. The shares sporadically are quoted on the pink sheets under the symbol "BVRSF.PK." What are the tax consequences of your offer? o If you are a U.S. taxpayer, the receipt of cash for ordinary shares pursuant to our offer will be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income taxation purposes. If you are an Israeli taxpayer, the receipt of cash for shares pursuant to our offer is subject to taxation, although exemptions may be available for some shareholders. Neither we nor B.V.R. Systems will recognize taxable gain or loss as a result of this transaction. See "The Offer -- Material Tax Consequences." o We generally must withhold an Israeli tax from the cash that we pay to you, unless you possess a valid and applicable certificate of exemption or unless a ruling from the Israeli Income Tax Authorities determines otherwise. The rate of withholding will be 1% if the 3 payment is effected on or before December 31, 2003 or 15% of the real capital gain, if any, from the sale of the shares if the payment is effected on or after January 1, 2004. We intend to apply to the Israeli Income Tax Authorities in order to receive a pre-ruling in connection with our withholding tax obligations, with a view to receiving an exemption from withholding with respect to certain categories of selling shareholders, including foreign shareholders. See "The Offer--Material Tax Consequences--Israeli Tax Consequences." What are my appraisal rights? o Under Section 338 of the Israeli Companies Law, if we complete our offer and acquire the remaining shares of B.V.R. Systems through compulsory acquisition, an Israeli court may, at the request of any shareholder who sold shares to us, determine that the consideration paid for the shares was less than the fair market value and decide that we should pay the fair market value. . See "The Offer -- Israeli Companies Law, 1999; Rights of Shareholders in Our Offer." How do I tender my ordinary shares? o To tender your ordinary shares, before the tender offer expires: - If you hold physical share certificate(s), you must deliver your share certificate(s) and a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal to our Depositary at the address appearing on the back cover of this document; or - you must inform your broker of your decision to sell your shares so that our Depositary receives a confirmation of receipt of your tender by book-entry transfer; or - you or your broker must comply with the guaranteed delivery procedure. Once I have tendered ordinary shares in your offer, can I withdraw my tender? o You may withdraw your tender at any time before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 23, 2003 or, if we extend our offer, before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date to which the offer is extended. Unless we have previously purchased your shares, you may also withdraw your tender after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on January 20, 2004. See "The Offer -- Withdrawal Rights." When will you pay for the ordinary shares I tender? o We will pay you the purchase price for the shares we purchase promptly after the expiration of our offer, or any extension of it. 4 Will I have to pay brokerage commissions if I tender my shares? o If you are a registered shareholder and you tender your shares directly to our Depositary, you will not incur any brokerage commissions. If you hold shares through a broker or a bank, we urge you to consult your broker or bank to determine whether any transaction costs are applicable. Whom can I talk to if I have questions? o If you are a shareholder B.V.R. Systems and you have questions about our offer, you may call Adv. Orly Tsioni, of Yigal Arnon & Co. at 011-972-3-608-7842. 5 To the Holders of Ordinary Shares of B.V.R. Systems (1998) Ltd. INTRODUCTION We, Chun Holdings Ltd., hereby offer to purchase all outstanding ordinary shares of B.V.R. Systems (1998) Ltd., par value NIS 1.0 per share, at a price of $0.18 per share, in cash, less any withholding taxes due, without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this document and in the related Letter of Transmittal. Unless otherwise indicated herein, all references to "U.S. Dollars," "dollars," "US$," "$" or "penny" are to the currency of the United States and all references to "New Israeli Shekels" or "NIS" are to the currency of Israel. If you have shares of B.V.R. Systems registered in your own name and if you tender directly to American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, our Depositary, you will not be obligated to pay brokerage fees or commissions or, except as set forth in Instruction 6 of the Letter of Transmittal, transfer taxes on the sale of shares pursuant to our offer. We generally must withhold an Israeli tax from the cash that we pay to you, unless you possess a valid and applicable certificate of exemption or unless a ruling from the Israeli Income Tax Authorities determines otherwise. The rate of withholding will be 1% if the payment is effected on or before December 31, 2003 or 15% of the real capital gain, if any, from the sale of the shares if the payment is effected on or after January 1, 2004. We intend to apply to the Israeli Income Tax Authorities in order to receive a pre-ruling in connection with our withholding tax obligations, with a view to receiving an exemption from withholding with respect to certain categories of selling shareholders, including foreign shareholders. Moreover, if you fail to complete and sign the Substitute Form W-9 included in the Letter of Transmittal or Form W-8, Certificate of Foreign Status, as applicable, you may be subject to U.S. federal backup withholding of 28% of the gross proceeds payable to you pursuant to our offer. We will pay all fees and expenses of Yigal Arnon & Co., which is acting as our Information Agent, and of our Depositary, incurred in connection with our offer. If you hold shares through a bank or a broker, you should check whether they charge any service fees. See "The Offer -- Fees and Expenses." We are controlled by Aviv Tzidon, Aeronautics Defense Systems Ltd. and iTS Technologies Pte. Ltd. Mr. Tzidon has served as the chairman of the board of directors of B.V.R. Systems since November 24, 2003, and also served as its chairman from the time of its spin-off from B.V.R. Technologies Ltd. (in October 1998) until April 2000. See "The Offer -- Background of Our Offer" and Annex A. Aeronautics Defense Systems Ltd. is an Israeli company that specializes in the research, development, manufacturing and integration of advanced command, control, computers, communications and intelligence systems in aerial, maritime, and ground platforms and in providing services for government and commercial customers. 6 iTS Technologies Pte. Ltd. is a Singapore registered private limited company. The principal activities of iTS are those relating to IT professional services and systems consultancy; including the development, marketing and maintenance of advance simulation and training systems for defense and other industries. Because they control us and helped to structure our offer, our offer may be deemed to be made on behalf of these controlling persons, and in this offer to purchase we refer to them and us collectively as our "bidder group." Our bidder group currently does not own any ordinary shares of B.V.R. Systems. Our offer is subject to the condition that, as of the expiration time of our offer, at least 48% of the issued and outstanding shares of B.V.R. Systems must be validly tendered and not withdrawn. Our offer also is subject to other conditions, which are described in "The Offer -- Conditions to Our Offer and Rights to Withdraw Our Offer." Our offer is not conditioned upon obtaining financing. Subject to those conditions, we are offering to purchase all of the shares. However, depending on the number of shares tendered, the number that we may accept may be limited by law, as follows: o If more than 95% of the outstanding shares are tendered, we will purchase all shares tendered. o If more than 90% but not more than 95% of the outstanding shares are tendered, in order to comply with Section 337(b) of the Israeli Companies Law, we will purchase 90% of the outstanding shares, pro rata from all of the tendering shareholders. If this would result in the purchase of a fractional number of shares, we will purchase, pro rata, the greatest number of whole shares that is less than 90% of the outstanding shares. o If less than 90% of the outstanding shares are tendered, we will purchase all shares tendered. The board of directors of B.V.R. Systems has discussed the advisability of our offer and has decided to recommend to the shareholders that they accept our offer. THIS DOCUMENT AND THE RELATED LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND SHOULD BE READ IN THEIR ENTIRETY BEFORE ANY DECISION IS MADE WITH RESPECT TO OUR OFFER. 7 THE OFFER 1. TERMS OF OUR OFFER. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of our offer, we will accept for payment and pay for all shares of B.V.R. Systems validly tendered, and not withdrawn, prior to the Expiration Date. The term "Expiration Date" shall mean 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 23, 2003, unless and until we shall have extended the period of time for which our offer is open, in which event the term "Expiration Date" shall mean the latest time and date at which our offer, as so extended by us, shall expire. The purchase price for the ordinary shares will be $0.18 per share, in cash and without interest. As of November 21, 2003, there were 10,660,874 ordinary shares of B.V.R. Systems issued and outstanding. Our offer is subject to the condition that, as of the expiration time of our offer, at least 48% of the issued and outstanding shares of B.V.R. Systems must be validly tendered and not withdrawn. Our offer also is subject to other conditions, which are described in "The Offer -- Conditions to Our Offer and Rights to Withdraw Our Offer." Our offer is not conditioned upon obtaining financing. If any of those conditions shall not have been met or shall be determined by us not to have been met prior to the Expiration Date, we reserve the right (but we shall not be obligated), subject to complying with applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, to: o decline to purchase any of the shares tendered in our offer, terminate the offer and return all tendered shares to the tendering shareholders; o waive any or all conditions to our offer and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, purchase all shares validly tendered; o extend our offer, subject to applicable law, and, subject to the right of shareholders to withdraw the shares until the Expiration Date, retain the shares which have been tendered during the period or periods for which our offer is extended; or o amend our offer. Subject to those conditions, we are offering to purchase all of the shares. However, depending on the number of shares tendered, the number that we may accept may be limited by law, as follows: o If more than 95% of the outstanding shares are tendered, we will purchase all shares tendered. 8 o If more than 90% but not more than 95% of the outstanding shares are tendered, in order to comply with Section 337(b) of the Israeli Companies Law, we will purchase 90% of the outstanding shares, pro rata from all of the tendering shareholders. If this would result in the purchase of a fractional number of shares, we will purchase, pro rata, the greatest number of whole shares that is less than 90% of the outstanding shares. o If less than 90% of the outstanding shares are tendered, we will purchase all shares tendered. Under the Israeli Companies Law, all shareholders have an opportunity to state whether they accept or oppose our offer. By tendering your shares, you will state that you accept the offer for these purposes. If you wish to oppose the offer, it is not sufficient to refrain from tendering your shares. Instead, you must complete and submit an Opposition Notice. We may complete this offer only if the number of shares stated to accept our offer is a majority among the total shares stated, not taking into account shares held by any controlling shareholder of B.V.R. Systems and their affiliates and shares held by the bidder group or by persons acting on its behalf. See "The Offer -- Procedure for Tendering Shares -- Special Purchase Offer Procedures." If we waive a material condition to our offer, our offer will remain open for at least five business days after the waiver. Any extension, amendment or termination of our offer will be followed as promptly as practicable by public announcement thereof. The announcement, in the case of an extension, will be issued no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the previously scheduled Expiration Date, in accordance with the public announcement requirements of Rule 14d-4(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Without limiting our obligation under that Rule or the manner in which we may choose to make any public announcement, we currently intend to make announcements by issuing a press release to BusinessWire. If we extend our offer, or if we (whether before or after our acceptance for payment of the shares) are delayed in our purchase of, or payment for, the shares or are unable to pay for the shares pursuant to our offer for any reason, then, without prejudice to our rights under our offer, our Depositary may retain tendered shares on our behalf, and such shares may not be withdrawn except to the extent tendering shareholders are entitled to withdrawal rights as described in "The Offer -- Withdrawal Rights." However, our ability to delay the payment for the shares that we have accepted for payment is limited by Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act, which requires that a bidder pay the consideration offered or return the securities deposited by, or on behalf of, holders of securities promptly after the termination or withdrawal of the tender offer. If we make a material change in the terms of our offer or the information concerning our offer, or if we waive a material condition of our offer, we will disseminate additional tender offer materials and extend our offer to the extent required by Rules 14d-4(d), 14d-6(c) and 14e-1 under the Exchange Act. The minimum period during which our offer would have to remain open following material changes in the terms of our offer or information concerning our offer, other than a change in price or a change in the number of shares being sought, would depend upon the facts and circumstances then existing, including the relative materiality of the changed 9 terms or information. In a public release, the Securities and Exchange Commission has stated that, in its view, an offer must remain open for a minimum period of time following a material change in the terms of the offer and that a waiver of a material condition is a material change in the terms of the offer. The release states that an offer should remain open for a minimum of five (5) business days from the date a material change is first published, or sent or given to security holders and that, if material changes are made with respect to information not materially less significant than the offer price and the number of shares being sought, a minimum of ten (10) business days may be required to allow adequate dissemination and investor response. The requirement to extend our offer will not apply to the extent that the number of business days remaining between the occurrence of the change and the then-scheduled Expiration Date equals or exceeds the minimum extension period that would be required because of such amendment. B.V.R. Systems has provided us with B.V.R. Systems' shareholder lists and security position listings for the purpose of disseminating our offer to holders of the shares. This document and the related Letter of Transmittal will be mailed by us to record holders of the shares and will be furnished by us to brokers, dealers, banks and similar persons whose names, or the names of whose nominees, appear on the shareholder lists or, if applicable, who are listed as participants in a clearing agency's security position listing, for subsequent transmittal to beneficial owners of the shares. 2. ACCEPTANCE FOR PAYMENT. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of our offer (including, if our offer is extended or amended, the terms and conditions of any such extension or amendment), we will accept for payment and, subject to any withholding taxes due, will pay, promptly after the Expiration Date, for all shares validly tendered prior to the Expiration Date and not properly withdrawn. All determinations concerning the satisfaction of such terms and conditions will be within our sole discretion, which determinations will be final and binding. See "The Offer -- Conditions to Our Offer and Rights to Withdraw Our Offer." Subject to those conditions, we are offering to purchase all of the shares. However, depending on the number of shares tendered, the number that we may accept may be limited by law, as follows: o If more than 95% of the outstanding shares are tendered, we will purchase all shares tendered. o If more than 90% but not more than 95% of the outstanding shares are tendered, in order to comply with Section 337(b) of the Israeli Companies Law, we will purchase 90% of the outstanding shares, pro rata from all of the tendering shareholders. If this would result in the purchase of a fractional number of shares, we will purchase, pro rata, the greatest number of whole shares that is less than 90% of the outstanding shares. o If less than 90% of the outstanding shares are tendered, we will purchase all shares tendered. 10 In the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 filed by B.V.R. Systems on December 2, 2003, B.V.R. Systems disclosed that, to the best of its knowledge based on inquiries made by it, Polar Investment Ltd., which effectively has the power to vote approximately 13.26% of the outstanding shares of B.V.R. Systems, will refrain from tendering those shares pursuant to our offer. On that basis, we expect that the third bullet point above will apply and that, subject to the conditions of our offer, we will purchase all shares tendered. In all cases, payment for the shares accepted for payment pursuant to our offer will be made only after timely receipt by our Depositary of (i) certificates for such shares (or a timely Book-Entry Confirmation (as defined below) with respect thereto), (ii) a Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile thereof), properly completed and duly executed, with any required signature guarantees, or, in the case of a book-entry transfer, an Agent's Message (as defined below), and (iii) any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal. If, prior to the Expiration Date, we increase the consideration offered to any shareholders pursuant to our offer, the increased consideration will be paid to all holders of shares purchased pursuant to our offer, whether or not such shares were tendered prior to the increase in consideration. For purposes of our offer, we will be deemed to have accepted for payment, and thereby purchased, the shares properly tendered to us and not withdrawn, when we give oral or written notice to our Depositary of our acceptance for payment of such shares. Payment for the shares accepted for payment pursuant to our offer will be made by deposit of the purchase price therefor with our Depositary, which will act as agent for tendering shareholders for the purpose of receiving payment from us and transmitting payment to tendering shareholders. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL INTEREST BE PAID ON THE PURCHASE PRICE TO BE PAID BY US FOR THE SHARES, REGARDLESS OF ANY EXTENSION OF OUR OFFER OR ANY DELAY IN MAKING SUCH PAYMENT. UPON THE DEPOSIT OF FUNDS WITH OUR DEPOSITARY FOR THE PURPOSE OF MAKING PAYMENTS TO TENDERING SHAREHOLDERS, OUR OBLIGATION TO MAKE SUCH PAYMENT SHALL BE SATISFIED, AND TENDERING SHAREHOLDERS MUST THEREAFTER LOOK SOLELY TO OUR DEPOSITARY FOR PAYMENT OF AMOUNTS OWED TO THEM BY REASON OF THE ACCEPTANCE FOR PAYMENT OF THE SHARES PURSUANT TO OUR OFFER. If we are delayed in our acceptance for payment of, or payment for, the shares or are unable to accept for payment, the shares pursuant to our offer for any reason, then, without prejudice to our rights under our offer (but subject to compliance with Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act), our Depositary may, nevertheless, on our behalf, retain tendered shares, and such shares may not be withdrawn except to the extent tendering shareholders are entitled to exercise, and duly exercise, their withdrawal rights. If any tendered shares are not purchased pursuant to our offer for any reason, or if certificates are submitted representing more shares than are tendered, certificates representing the shares not tendered or not accepted for purchase will be returned to the tendering shareholder, or such other person as the tendering shareholder shall specify in the Letter of Transmittal, promptly following the expiration, termination or withdrawal of our offer. In case of the shares delivered by book-entry transfer into our Depositary's account at a Book-Entry Transfer Facility pursuant to the procedures set forth in "The Offer - -- Procedure for Tendering Shares," such 11 shares will be credited to such account maintained at a Book-Entry Transfer Facility as the tendering shareholder shall specify in the Letter of Transmittal, promptly following the expiration, termination or withdrawal of our offer. If no such instructions are given with respect to the shares delivered by book-entry transfer, any such shares not tendered or not purchased will be returned by crediting the account at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility designated in the Letter of Transmittal as the account from which such shares were delivered. 3. PROCEDURE FOR TENDERING SHARES. Valid Tender. For the shares to be validly tendered pursuant to our offer, either (i) a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile thereof), together with any required signature guarantees, or in the case of a book-entry transfer, an Agent's Message (as defined below), and any other required documents, must be received by our Depositary at one of its addresses set forth on the back cover of this document prior to the Expiration Date and either certificates for tendered shares must be received by our Depositary at one of such addresses or such shares must be delivered pursuant to the procedures for book-entry transfer set forth below (and a Book-Entry Confirmation (as defined below) received by our Depositary), in each case prior to the Expiration Date; or (ii) the tendering shareholder must comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth below. Book-Entry Transfer. Our Depositary will establish accounts with respect to the shares at The Depository Trust Company, which will act as our "Book-Entry Transfer Facility," for purposes of our offer within two (2) business days after the date of this document. Any financial institution that is a participant in the Book-Entry Transfer Facility's system may make book-entry delivery of the shares by causing the Book-Entry Transfer Facility to transfer such shares into our Depositary's account in accordance with the Book-Entry Transfer Facility's procedure for such transfer. However, although delivery of the shares may be effected through book-entry transfer into our Depositary's account at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility, the Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile thereof), properly completed and duly executed, with any required signature guarantees, or an Agent's Message, and any other required documents must, in any case, be transmitted to, and received by, our Depositary at one of its addresses set forth on the back cover of this document prior to the Expiration Date, or the tendering shareholder must comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures described below. The confirmation of a book-entry transfer of shares into our Depositary's account at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility as described above is referred to herein as a "Book-Entry Confirmation." DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS TO THE BOOK-ENTRY TRANSFER FACILITY IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH BOOK-ENTRY TRANSFER FACILITY'S PROCEDURES DOES NOT CONSTITUTE DELIVERY TO THE DEPOSITARY. The term "Agent's Message" means a message transmitted by the Book-Entry Transfer Facility to, and received by, the Depositary and forming a part of a Book-Entry Confirmation, which states that such Book-Entry Transfer Facility has received an express acknowledgment from the participant in such Book-Entry Transfer Facility tendering the shares that such participant has received and agrees to be bound by the terms of the Letter of Transmittal and that we may enforce such agreement against the participant. 12 THE METHOD OF DELIVERY OF THE SHARES, THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND ALL OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING DELIVERY THROUGH A BOOK-ENTRY TRANSFER FACILITY, IS AT THE ELECTION AND RISK OF THE TENDERING SHAREHOLDER. THE SHARES WILL BE DEEMED DELIVERED ONLY WHEN ACTUALLY RECEIVED BY OUR DEPOSITARY (INCLUDING, IN THE CASE OF A BOOK-ENTRY TRANSFER, BY BOOK-ENTRY CONFIRMATION). IF DELIVERY IS BY MAIL, REGISTERED MAIL WITH RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, PROPERLY INSURED, IS RECOMMENDED. IN ALL CASES, SUFFICIENT TIME SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO ENSURE TIMELY DELIVERY. Signature Guarantees. No signature guarantee is required on the Letter of Transmittal (i) if the Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) (which term, for purposes of this Section, includes any participant in the Book Entry Transfer Facility's system whose name appears on a security position listing as the owner of the shares) of the shares tendered therewith and such registered holder has not completed either the box entitled "Special Delivery Instructions" or the box entitled "Special Payment Instructions" on the Letter of Transmittal; or (ii) if such shares are tendered for the account of a financial institution (including most commercial banks, savings and loan associations and brokerage houses) that is a participant in the Security Transfer Agents Medallion Program, the New York Stock Exchange Medallion Signature Guarantee Program or the Stock Exchange Medallion Program (each, an "Eligible Institution" and, collectively, "Eligible Institutions"). In all other cases, all signatures on Letters of Transmittal must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution. See Instructions 1 and 5 to the Letter of Transmittal. If the certificates for the shares are registered in the name of a person other than the signer of the Letter of Transmittal, or if payment is to be made, or certificates for the shares not tendered or not accepted for payment are to be returned, to a person other than the registered holder of the certificates surrendered, then the tendered certificates for such shares must be endorsed or accompanied by appropriate stock powers, in either case, signed exactly as the name or names of the registered holder(s) or owner(s) appear on the certificates, with the signatures on the certificates or stock powers guaranteed as aforesaid. See Instruction 5 to the Letter of Transmittal. Guaranteed Delivery. If a shareholder desires to tender the shares pursuant to our offer and such shareholder's certificates for the shares are not immediately available or the procedures for book-entry transfer cannot be completed on a timely basis or time will not permit all required documents to reach our Depositary prior to the Expiration Date, such shareholder's tender may be effected if all the following conditions are met: o such tender is made by or through an Eligible Institution; o a properly completed and duly executed Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, substantially in the form provided by us, is received by our Depositary, as provided below, prior to the Expiration Date; and o the certificates for (or a Book-Entry Confirmation with respect to) such shares, together with a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal (or 13 facsimile thereof), with any required signature guarantees, or, in the case of a book-entry transfer, an Agent's Message, and any other required documents, are received by our Depositary within three trading days after the date of execution of such Notice of Guaranteed Delivery. A "trading day" is any day on which the Nasdaq National Market, operated by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., is open for business. The Notice of Guaranteed Delivery may be delivered by hand to our Depositary or transmitted by telegram, facsimile transmission or mail to our Depositary and must include a guarantee by an Eligible Institution in the form set forth in such Notice of Guaranteed Delivery. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, payment for the shares accepted for payment pursuant to our offer will in all cases be made only after timely receipt by our Depositary of (i) certificates for (or a timely Book-Entry Confirmation with respect to) such shares; (ii) a Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile thereof), properly completed and duly executed, with any required signature guarantees, or, in the case of a book-entry transfer, an Agent's Message; and (iii) any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal. Accordingly, tendering shareholders may be paid at different times depending upon when certificates for shares or Book-Entry Confirmations with respect to the shares are actually received by our Depositary. We are not offering to purchase outstanding options to purchase shares. If you hold vested options and wish to participate in our offer, you may participate in the offer by exercising your options and tendering the resulting shares in our offer. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL INTEREST BE PAID ON THE PURCHASE PRICE TO BE PAID BY US FOR THE SHARES, REGARDLESS OF ANY EXTENSION OF OUR OFFER OR ANY DELAY IN MAKING SUCH PAYMENT. The valid tender of the shares pursuant to one of the procedures described above will constitute a binding agreement between the tendering shareholder and us upon the terms and subject to the conditions of our offer. Special Purchase Offer Procedures. This tender offer is a "special purchase offer" subject to Section 328 of the Israeli Companies Law. To comply with these provisions of the Israeli Companies Law: o This tender offer is addressed to all holders of ordinary shares of B.V.R. Systems. o All shareholders have an opportunity to state whether they accept or oppose this tender offer. o We may complete this tender offer only if the number of shares stated to accept our offer is a majority among the total shares stated, not taking into account shares held by any controlling shareholder of B.V.R. Systems and their affiliates and shares held by the bidder group or by persons acting on its behalf. o If we duly complete this offer, then all shareholders who had not stated their position on the Purchase Offer, or who had opposed it, may ratify the offer by 14 contacting the Depository not later than four days after we publish a notice that we have accepted shares in this offer. A shareholder who contacts the Depository and ratifies the offer by tendering his/her/its shares in the manner stated herein shall be entitled to the same consideration paid in the offer. By tendering your shares, you will state that you accept the offer for purposes of Section 328 of the Israeli Companies Law. If you wish to oppose the offer, it is not sufficient to refrain from tendering your shares. Instead, you must complete and submit the enclosed Opposition Notice, together with a copy, certified by a Public Notary, of your share certificates to the offices of the Depositary. Appointment. By executing the Letter of Transmittal as set forth above (including delivery through an Agent's Message), the tendering shareholder will irrevocably appoint our designees as such shareholder's attorneys-in-fact and proxies, in the manner set forth in the Letter of Transmittal, each with full power of substitution, to the full extent of such shareholder's rights with respect to the shares tendered by such shareholder and accepted for payment by us, and with respect to any and all non-cash dividends, distributions, rights, other shares or other securities issued or issuable in respect of such shares on or after December 23, 2003 (collectively, "Distributions"). All such proxies will be considered coupled with an interest in the tendered shares. Such appointment will be effective if and when, and only to the extent that, we accept for payment the shares tendered by such shareholder as provided herein. All such powers of attorney and proxies will be irrevocable and will be deemed granted in consideration of the acceptance for payment of the shares tendered in accordance with the terms of our offer. Upon such appointment, all prior powers of attorney, proxies and consents given by such shareholder with respect to such shares (and any and all Distributions) will, without further action, be revoked and no subsequent powers of attorney, proxies, consents or revocations may be given by such shareholder (and, if given, will not be deemed effective). Our designees will thereby be empowered to exercise all voting and other rights with respect to such shares (and any and all Distributions), including, without limitation, in respect of any annual or special meeting of B.V.R. Systems' shareholders (and any adjournment or postponement thereof), actions by written consent in lieu of any such meeting or otherwise, as each such attorney-in-fact and proxy or his substitute shall in his sole discretion deem proper. We reserve the right to require that, in order for the shares to be deemed validly tendered, immediately upon our acceptance for payment of such shares, we must be able to exercise full voting, consent and other rights with respect to such shares (and any and all Distributions), including voting at any meeting of shareholders. Determination of Validity. All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance of any tender of shares will be determined by us, in our sole discretion, which determination will be final and binding. We reserve the absolute right to reject any or all tenders of any shares determined by us not to be in proper form or the acceptance for payment of which, or payment for which, may, in the opinion of our counsel, be unlawful. We reserve the absolute right, in our sole discretion, to waive any of the conditions of our offer, provided that if we waive a condition of our offer with respect to a particular shareholder, we will waive that condition with respect to all shareholders. We also reserve the absolute right, in our sole discretion to waive any defect or irregularity in the tender of any shares of any particular 15 shareholder, whether or not similar defects or irregularities are waived in the case of other shareholders. No tender of shares will be deemed to have been validly made until all defects or irregularities relating thereto have been cured or waived. None of us, our Depositary, our Information Agent or any other person will be under any duty to give notification of any defects or irregularities in tenders or incur any liability for failure to give any such notification. Our interpretation of the terms and conditions of our offer (including the Letter of Transmittal and the instructions thereto) will be final and binding. Backup Withholding Tax. Under the backup withholding tax provisions of federal income tax law, unless a tendering holder of shares satisfies the conditions described in Instruction 9 of the Letter of Transmittal or is otherwise exempt, the cash payable to such holder in the offer may be subject to backup withholding tax at a rate of 28%. To prevent backup withholding tax, each tendering holder should complete and sign the Substitute Form W-9 included in the Letter of Transmittal or the Form W-8, Certificate of Foreign Status, as applicable. See Instruction 9 to the Letter of Transmittal. 4. WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS. Except as otherwise provided in this Section, tenders of shares are irrevocable. Shares tendered pursuant to our offer may be withdrawn pursuant to the procedures set forth below at any time prior to the Expiration Date and, unless theretofore accepted for payment and paid for by us pursuant to our offer, may also be withdrawn at any time after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on January 20, 2004. For a withdrawal to be effective, a written, telegraphic or facsimile transmission notice of withdrawal must be timely received by our Depositary at its address set forth on the back cover of this document and must specify the name of the person having tendered the shares to be withdrawn, the number of shares to be withdrawn and the name of the registered holder of the shares to be withdrawn, if different from the name of the person who tendered the shares. If certificates for shares have been delivered or otherwise identified to our Depositary, then, prior to the physical release of such certificates, the serial numbers shown on such certificates must be submitted to our Depositary and, unless such shares have been tendered by an Eligible Institution, the signatures on the notice of withdrawal must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution. If the shares have been delivered pursuant to the procedures for book-entry transfer as set forth above, any notice of withdrawal must also specify the name and number of the account at the appropriate Book-Entry Transfer Facility to be credited with the withdrawn shares and otherwise comply with such Book-Entry Transfer Facility's procedures. Withdrawals of tenders of the shares may not be rescinded, and any shares properly withdrawn will thereafter be deemed not validly tendered for purposes of our offer. However, withdrawn shares may be tendered again by following one of the procedures described above any time prior to the Expiration Date. All questions as to the form and validity (including time of receipt) of notices of withdrawal will be determined by us, in our sole discretion, which determination will be final and binding. Neither we, our Depositary, our Information Agent, nor any other person will be 16 under any duty to give notification of any defects or irregularities in any notice of withdrawal or incur any liability for failure to give any such notification. 5. MATERIAL TAX CONSEQUENCES. United States Federal Income Tax Consequences. The following is a discussion of the material United States federal income tax consequences to a United States holder of the receipt of cash in exchange for the ordinary shares of B.V.R. Systems pursuant to our offer. This discussion considers only United States holders that hold ordinary shares as capital assets. This discussion is based on current provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), current and proposed Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, and administrative and judicial decisions as of the date hereof, all of which are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis. This discussion does not address all aspects of United States federal income taxation that may be relevant to any particular shareholder based on such shareholder's individual circumstances. In particular, this discussion does not address the potential application of the alternative minimum tax or the United States federal income tax consequences to United States holders that are subject to special treatment, including United States holders that: o are broker-dealers or insurance companies, o have elected mark-to-market accounting, o are tax-exempt organizations, o are financial institutions or "financial services entities", o hold class A common shares as part of a straddle, "hedge" or "conversion transaction" with other investments, o own directly, indirectly or by attribution at least 10% of our voting power, and o have a functional currency that is not the U.S. dollar. In addition, this discussion does not address any aspect of state, local or non-United States tax laws. Material aspects of United States federal income tax relevant to a holder other than a United States holder, or a "Non-United States holder," are also discussed below. For purposes of this summary, a "United States holder" is a beneficial owner of the shares that is, for United States federal income tax purposes: o a citizen or resident of the United States, o a corporation created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States or of any state (or the District of Columbia), o an estate, the income of which is includible in gross income for United States federal income tax purposes regardless of its source, or o a trust, (a) if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (b) if it has a valid 17 election in effect under applicable Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person. The receipt of cash in exchange for ordinary shares of B.V.R. Systems by a United States holder pursuant to our offer will be a taxable transaction for United States federal income tax purposes and may also be a taxable transaction under applicable state, local or foreign tax laws. In general, a United States holder will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount received in exchange for the holder's ordinary shares pursuant to our offer and the holder's adjusted tax basis in the ordinary shares. Subject to the passive foreign investment company discussion below, such gain or loss will be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the United States holder's holding period for such ordinary shares exceeds one year. Gain or loss realized by a United States holder on the exchange of the ordinary shares generally will be treated as United States-source gain or loss. The deductibility of a capital loss recognized on the exchange is subject to limitations. Under recently enacted amendments to the Code, long-term capital gain realized by individuals is generally subject to United States federal income tax at a reduced maximum tax rate of 15 percent through December 31, 2008. For United States federal income tax purposes, B.V.R. Systems would be considered a passive foreign investment company ("PFIC") for any taxable year in which either (i) 75% or more of its gross income is passive income, or (ii) at least 50% of the average value of all of its assets for the taxable year produce or are held for the production of passive income. For this purpose, passive income includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents, annuities and the excess of gains over losses from the disposition of assets which produce passive income. Based solely on publicly available information, it appears that B.V.R. Systems has not been classified as a PFIC for any taxable year. If B.V.R. Systems is, or has been, classified as a PFIC for any taxable year, gain (if any) recognized by a United States Holder (who was a shareholder at the time B.V.R. was classified as a PFIC) upon the disposition of ordinary shares would, absent a previous election by such United States Holder to treat its investment in ordinary shares as an investment in a "qualified electing fund," be taxable for United States federal income tax purposes as ordinary income. Further, a United States Holder would generally be required to allocate such ordinary income ratably over the holding period for such ordinary shares, and the amount allocated to each year during which B.V.R. Systems were considered a PFIC (other than the year of the disposition) would be subject to tax at the highest individual or corporate tax rate, as the case may be, and an interest charge would be imposed with respect to the resulting tax liability allocated to each such year. A United States Holder would also be required to make a return on IRS Form 8621 with respect to the disposition of ordinary shares. Except as described below, a Non-United States holder of ordinary shares will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax on the payment of proceeds from the disposition of ordinary shares, unless: 18 o such item is effectively connected with the conduct by the Non-United States holder of a trade or business in the United States and, in the case of a resident of a country which has a treaty with the United States, such as Israel, such item is attributable to a permanent establishment or, in the case of an individual, a fixed place of business, in the United States; o the Non-United States holder is an individual who holds the ordinary shares as a capital asset and is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the disposition and does not qualify for an exemption; or o such item is subject to tax pursuant to the provisions of United States tax law applicable to U.S. expatriates. United States holders are subject to information reporting and back-up withholding (at a rate of 28%) on proceeds paid from the disposition of ordinary shares unless the U.S. Holder provides IRS Form W-9 or otherwise establishes an exemption. Non-United States holders generally are not subject to information reporting or back-up withholding upon the disposition of ordinary shares, provided that such non-U.S. Holder establishes its non-U.S. status (or other exemption) in the manner required by Treasury regulations. The amount of any back-up withholding will be allowed as a credit against a United States or Non-United States holder's United States federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that the required information is furnished to the Internal Revenue Service. The United States federal income tax discussion set forth above is included for general information only and is based upon laws, regulations, pronouncements and decisions now in effect, all of which are subject to change (possibly retroactively). United States holders are urged to consult their tax advisors with respect to the specific tax consequences of our offer to them, including the application and effect of the alternative minimum tax, and state, local and foreign tax laws. Israeli Tax Consequences. Under current Israeli law, capital gains received by individual shareholders and certain corporate shareholders (which are not subject to the provisions of the Inflationary Adjustments Law) upon the sale of B.V.R. Systems ordinary shares are subject to a 15% tax rate on any capital gain accrued from January 1, 2003. Such gains accrued prior to that date are generally exempt from tax . These rules are applicable, inter alia, to an Israeli resident company whose shares are traded on a recognized stock exchange or recognized over-the-counter market outside of Israel (if the shares are not considered to be so traded, different taxation rules with less favorable consequences may be applicable). The tax basis of shares acquired prior to January 1, 2003 will be determined in accordance with the average closing share price in the three trading days preceding January 1, 2003. However, a request may be made to the tax authorities to consider the actual adjusted cost of the shares as the tax basis if it is higher than such average price. 19 Notwithstanding the foregoing, dealers in securities in Israel are taxed at regular tax rates applicable to business income. Israeli corporate shareholders to which the provision of the Inflationary Adjustments Law apply will be liable to tax on any gains from the sale of B.V.R. Systems shares. Foreign residents will, in general continue to be exempt from capital gains tax on the sale of traded securities of Israeli companies, so long as the gain is not derived through a permanent establishment the foreign residents maintain in Israel. However, non-Israeli corporations will not be entitled to such exemption if an Israeli resident (i) has a controlling interest of 25% or more in such non-Israeli corporation, or (ii) is the beneficiary or is entitled to 25% or more of the revenues or profits of such non-Israeli corporation, whether directly or indirectly. Special rules will apply to shareholders who held B.V.R. Systems shares before the initial listing of these shares for trade on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. Pursuant to the convention between the Governments of the United States and Israel with respect to taxes on income, or the U.S.-Israel tax treaty, the sale, exchange or disposition of B.V.R. Systems' ordinary shares by a person who qualifies as a resident of the United States under the treaty and who is entitled to claim the benefits afforded to him by the treaty, will generally not be subject to Israeli capital gains tax. This exemption shall not apply to a person who held, directly or indirectly, shares representing 10% or more of the voting power in B.V.R. Systems during any part of the 12-month period preceding the sale, exchange or disposition, subject to certain conditions. A sale, exchange or disposition of B.V.R. Systems' shares by a U.S. resident qualified under the treaty, who held, directly or indirectly, shares representing 10% or more of the voting power in B.V.R. Systems at any time during the preceding 12-month period would be subject to Israeli tax, to the extent applicable and subject to the exemption mentioned above; however, under the treaty, this U.S. resident would be permitted to claim a credit for those Israeli taxes against the U.S. income tax with respect to the sale, exchange or disposition, subject to the limitations in U.S. laws applicable to foreign tax credits. The limitations include rules denying a credit or deduction for withheld Israeli taxes if such withheld taxes are recoverable by the United States holder from the Israeli Income Tax Authorities. The bidder group will in general be required to withhold Israeli tax at source from the consideration paid to the tendering shareholders, unless a shareholder possesses a valid and applicable certificate of exemption or unless a ruling from the Israeli Income Tax Authorities determines otherwise. The bidder group intends to apply to the Israeli Income Tax Authorities in order to receive such a pre-ruling in connection with its withholding tax obligations, with a view to receiving an exemption from withholding with respect to certain categories of selling shareholders, including foreign shareholders. In the absence of such a ruling, the rate of withholding will be 1% of the consideration if the payment is effected on or before December 31, 2003 or 15% of the real capital gain, if any, from the sale of the shares if the payment is effected on January 1, 2004 or thereafter. 20 6. STOCK LISTING; PRICE RANGE OF SHARES; EXCHANGE ACT REGISTRATION. Stock Listing. The ordinary shares of B.V.R. Systems traded on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market under the symbol "BVRS" until they were removed on February 13, 2003. They then were quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "BVRSF" until October 13, 2003. The shares now are quoted from time to time on the pink sheets under the symbol "BVRSF.PK". If we consummate our offer we will seek to have the shares once again quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. Price Range of Shares. The following table sets forth the high and low closing price for the ordinary shares as reported by the Nasdaq SmallCap Market and the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board for the periods indicated: HIGH LOW ---- --- 2001 ---- First Quarter.................................................... $3.50 $1.50 Second Quarter................................................... $2.31 $1.00 Third Quarter.................................................... $3.50 $2.03 Fourth Quarter................................................... $3.02 $2.40 2002 ---- First Quarter.................................................... $3.00 $2.48 Second Quarter.................................................. $2.65 $1.75 Third Quarter.................................................... $2.42 $1.02 Fourth Quarter................................................... $1.07 $0.50 2003 ---- First Quarter.................................................... $1.10 $0.37 Second Quarter.................................................. $0.90 $0.75 Third Quarter.................................................... $0.99 $0.10 Fourth Quarter (through December 6).............................. $0.85 $0.10 Exchange Act Registration. On October 9, 2003, B.V.R. Systems filed a certification on Form 15 with the SEC to de-register its ordinary shares under the Exchange Act because they were held of record by fewer than 300 persons. 7. CERTAIN INFORMATION CONCERNING B.V.R. SYSTEMS. Available Information. The certification on Form 15 filed by B.V.R. Systems on October 9, 2003 immediately suspended its obligation to file periodic reports under the Exchange Act. Therefore, the reports and other information of B.V.R. Systems on file with the SEC may be out of date. Prior to November 11, 2002, B.V.R. Systems filed reports, including annual reports on Form 20-F, and other information with the SEC relating to its business, financial condition and other matters, on paper. Copies of those paper filings should be available for inspection at the public reference facilities of the SEC at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549, and at the regional offices of the SEC located at 233 Broadway, New York, New York 10007, and Citicorp Center, 500 West Madison Street, Suite 1400, Chicago, IL 60661. Copies of those 21 paper filings also should be obtainable by mail, upon payment of the SEC's customary charges, by writing to the SEC's principal office at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549. Since November 11, 2002 and until October 2003, B.V.R.

The funds deposited in the escrow account are derived from cash on hand of the members of the bidder group. 23 10. DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS To our knowledge, B.V.R. Systems does not have a set policy regarding dividends. 11. BACKGROUND OF OUR OFFER During the last week of October 2003, the bidder group became aware through the Israeli media that B.V.R. Systems had been having financial difficulties and was considering a sale of the company or its assets. Aviv Tzidon, as representative of the bidder group, during the last week of October 2003, approached the management of Elisra Electronics Systems Ltd., the majority shareholder of B.V.R. Systems, and informed them of the bidder group's interest in B.V.R. Systems. Mr. Tzidon offered to purchase Elisra's holdings in B.V.R. Systems at a price per share of $0.18. Elisra said it would accept the offer only if the bidder group made a tender offer to all shareholders of B.V.R. Systems on the same terms. In addition, Elisra demanded that the bidder group provide a credit line to B.V.R. Systems. On October 30, 2003, after negotiations with Mr. Jonathan Kolber, CEO of Koor Industries Ltd., the parent company of Elisra, Mr. Yuval Yanai, CFO of Koor and chairman of the board of directors of B.V.R. Systems and Mr. Ran Maidan, CFO of Elisra and director of B.V.R. Systems, Mr. Tzidon, on behalf of the bidder group, entered into a letter agreement with the board of directors of B.V.R. Systems which included the following terms: o An undertaking by us to commence this tender offer, but with a minimum condition of 60%; o an undertaking by us, if we successfully complete this offer, to extend a line of credit to B.V.R. Systems in the amount of U.S.$5 million; and o an agreement by B.V.R. Systems not to negotiate or cooperate with any third party in connection with any sale of the assets or operations of B.V.R. Systems until the earlier of the completion of this tender offer or January 31, 2004. After the date of the letter agreement, at the request of Elisra, we determined to reduce the minimum condition to 48%. This change gave Elisra, which owns approximately 48.7% of the outstanding shares, the power to ensure that the minimum condition is satisfied. The change was an important consideration for Elisra, its parent Koor and Mr. Yanai in supporting changes to the board of directors of B.V.R. Systems, as described below, that we discussed with them prior to commencing our offer and that the board adopted shortly after we commenced our offer. Also under the letter agreement, we deposited approximately $1.9 million in a trust account for the benefit of B.V.R. Systems to provide cash to the holders of ordinary shares who tender pursuant to this offer, and we deposited approximately $1.8 million in a second trust account for the benefit of B.V.R. Systems to provide part of the amount to be extended in the line of credit. If we complete this offer successfully but fail to provide the line of credit, B.V.R. 24 Systems will have the right to a portion of the funds in the second trust account, as described below. On November 24, 2003, the board of directors of B.V.R. Systems held a telephonic meeting at which Mr. Tzidon was present. At that meeting, Mr.Yanai informed the board that Elisra had commited to tender its entire holdings of shares in our offer. Mr. Yanai also informed the board that, while he would remain a director of the Company, he would resign his position as chairman of the board, effective immediately. In response to Mr. Yanai's announcements, the board of directors appointed Mr. Tzidon both a director and chairman of the board. On November 26, 2003, the board of directors of B.V.R. Systems, at the recommendation of Mr. Tzidon, appointed Ilan Gillies as its Chief Executive Officer and authorized Mr. Tzidon to approach existing clients, customers, banks and potential strategic partners to maintain the existing relationships of B.V.R. Systems and pursue potential business development strategies. On December 3, 2003, we decided to advance $430,000 to B.V.R. Systems in order to allow B.V.R. Systems to meet its November 2003 payroll obligations. We are lending this amount to B.V.R. Systems as part of the $5 million line of credit that we undertook to extend to B.V.R. Systems. This advance is coming from the $1.8 million that we deposited in trust for the benefit of B.V.R. Systems (the second trust account referenced above), reduces that trust account and the balance available under the line of credit, and reduces to $470,000 the amount to which B.V.R. Systems would be entitled if we fail to provide the balance of the line of credit. Except as set forth in this document, during the past two years, there have not been any negotiations, transactions or material contacts between the bidder group and B.V.R. Systems or its affiliates concerning any: o merger, consolidation, acquisition, tender offer for or other acquisition of any class of securities of B.V.R. Systems, o election of the directors of B.V.R. Systems, or o sale or other transfer of a material amount of assets of B.V.R. Systems. 12. RECOMMENDATION OF B.V.R. SYSTEMS. The board of directors of B.V.R. Systems has discussed the advisability of our offer and has decided to recommend to the shareholders that they accept our offer. B.V.R. Systems has filed a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Form 14D-9 with the SEC setting forth this recommendation. 13. PURPOSE OF OUR OFFER; PLANS FOR B.V.R. SYSTEMS; EFFECTS OF OUR OFFER. If the conditions to our offer are satisfied, at the time that we accept the tendered shares, we will become the owner of at least 48% of the share capital of the B.V.R. Systems. 25 Following our acquisition of B.V.R. Systems it is our intention to replace the board of directors (other than the directors who were not affiliated with the management of B.V.R. Systems as of the time that we commenced our offer on November 21, 2003) and the management of B.V.R. Systems, and to elect a new board of directors which will reflect the change of ownership in B.V.R. Systems. We also will seek to have the shares once again quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. We have undertaken, if we complete this offer successfully, to provide to B.V.R. Systems a $5 million line of credit. The line of credit would be in existence for three years and would bear interest at the rate of LIBOR plus two percent per year. The credit provided under the line of credit would be repayable in one payment on the third anniversary of the date that we provide such credit. We deposited $1.8 million in a trust account for the benefit of B.V.R. Systems to secure this undertaking, and we have advanced $430,000 of that amount to B.V.R. Systems to meet its payroll obligations. If we complete this offer successfully but fail to provide the line of credit, B.V.R. Systems will have the right to $470,000 of the funds in the trust account. Except as otherwise described in this document, the bidder group has no current plans or proposals that would result in any of the following: o any extraordinary transaction, such as merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving B.V.R. Systems; o any purchase, sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of B.V.R. Systems; o any material change in the present dividend policy, indebtedness or capitalization of B.V.R. Systems; o any material changes in B.V.R. Systems' corporate structure or business. Nonetheless, following the acquisition, we intend to perform a further review of the business of B.V.R. Systems in order to enable us effectively to plan our future management strategies to revitalize B.V.R. Systems. In connection with this review, we reserve the right to implement changes to the corporate structure, business and dividend policy of B.V.R. Systems. In addition, following the consummation of our offer, we reserve the right to consider and act upon any strategic opportunity such as a merger, reorganization or sale or transfer of all or some of the material assets of B.V.R. Systems. We intend to raise money for the activities of B.V.R. Systems, as shall be required. Any action we decide to take with respect to any strategic opportunity will be carried out in accordance with the laws and regulations applicable to B.V.R. Systems. 14. ISRAELI COMPANIES LAW, 1999; RIGHTS OF SHAREHOLDERS IN OUR OFFER. Israeli Companies Law, 1999 requires that an acquisition of shares in a public company which shares are traded on a stock exchange must be made by means of a tender offer for all of the shares or series of shares of such company, if as a result of the acquisition the offeror would become a holder of more than 90% of the company's shares or series of shares. This is called a "full tender offer." Our offer is being conducted in accordance with this requirement. 26 Section 337(a) of Israeli Companies Law states that where a full tender offer results in the offeror holding more than 95% of the issued shares or series of shares of the subject company, a compulsory acquisition of the remaining shares will occur and the offeror also automatically, without any further action on part of the offeror or the remaining shareholders, becomes the owner of all of the remaining shares, and becomes obligated to pay the price per share offered in the tender offer to the former holders of those shares. Under Section 337(b) of Israeli Companies Law, if the full tender offer does not result in the offeror holding more than 95% of the issued shares or series of shares of the subject company, the offeror may not acquire such shares that would give the offeror a holding of more than 90% of all the shares. See "-- Acceptance For Payment." Any shareholder tendering its shares in a full tender offer may request that an appropriate Israeli court determine that the consideration offered was not fair. Such a request to the court should be made within three month from the day the full tender offer was consummated. The court may decide that the fair market value was not paid to the shareholder and require that fair market value be paid to the shareholder. 15. CONDITIONS TO OUR OFFER AND RIGHTS TO WITHDRAW OUR OFFER Our offer is subject to the condition that, as of the expiration time of the offer, at least 48% of the issued and outstanding shares must be validly tendered and not withdrawn. This condition is for our sole benefit, may be asserted by us regardless of the circumstances which may cause an insufficient number of shares to be validly tendered and not withdrawn, and may be waived by us at any time before the expiration date of our offer. Under the Israeli Companies Law, all shareholders have an opportunity to state whether they accept or oppose our offer. See "The Offer-- Procedure for Tendering Shares -- Special Purchase Offer Procedures." We may complete our offer only if the number of shares stated to accept our offer is a majority of among the total shares stated, not taking into account shares held by any controlling shareholder of B.V.R. Systems and its affiliates and shares held by the bidder group or any person acting on its behalf. Our offer is subject to the condition that there shall be: o No action or proceeding instituted or pending before any court, regulatory or administrative agency or other governmental authority, o no injunction or other order issued by any governmental authority, and o no statute, rule, regulation or interpretation enacted, promulgated or issued by any governmental authority in each case that seeks to, or would, restrain or prohibit us from completing our offer, obligate us to pay monetary damages for completing our offer or impose any material limitation on our ability to acquire, hold and exercise full rights of ownership of the shares. 27 Our offer is not conditioned on the availability of financing. Our failure at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver of any such right, and each such right shall be deemed an ongoing right that may be asserted at any time and from time to time. 16.

Systems with the Commission, we are not aware of (i) any license or regulatory permit that appears to be material to the business of B.V.R.
