Gentlemen:

          Re:  Review of Unaudited Condensed Interim
               CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF JUNE 30, 2005

At your request, we have reviewed the condensed interim consolidated financial
statements ("interim financial statements") of Tower Semiconductor Ltd. and
subsidiary ("the Company"), as follows:

- -    Balance sheet as of June 30, 2005.

- -    Statements of operations for the six months and three months ended June 30,
     2005.

- -    Statements of changes in shareholders' equity for the six months and three
     months ended June 30, 2005.

- -    Statements of cash flows for the six months and three months ended June 30,
     2005.

Our review was conducted in accordance with procedures prescribed by the
Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Israel. The procedures included,
inter alia, reading the aforementioned interim financial statements, reading the
minutes of the shareholders' meetings and meetings of the board of directors and
its committees, and making inquiries with the persons responsible for financial
and accounting affairs.

Since the review that was performed is limited in scope and does not constitute
an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, we do not
express an opinion on the aforementioned interim financial statements.

In performing our review, nothing came to our attention which indicates that
material adjustments are required to the interim financial statements for them
to be deemed financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in Israel.

Accounting principles generally accepted in Israel vary in certain significant
respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. The effect of the application of the latter on the financial position
and results of operations as of the date and for the periods presented is
summarized in Note 6.

                NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED
                    FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF JUNE 30, 2005
          (dollars in thousands, except share data and per share data)

NOTE 1 - GENERAL

     A.   BASIS FOR PRESENTATION

          (1)  The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements
               as of June 30, 2005 and for the six months and three months then
               ended ("interim financial statements") of Tower Semiconductor
               Ltd. and subsidiary ("the Company") should be read in conjunction
               with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company
               as of December 31, 2004 and for the year then ended, including
               the notes thereto. In the opinion of management, the interim
               financial statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair
               presentation of the financial position and results of operations
               as of the date and for the interim periods presented. The results
               of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily
               indicative of the results to be expected on a full-year basis.

          (2)  The interim financial statements have been prepared in conformity
               with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in Israel
               ("Israeli GAAP"), which, as applicable to these interim financial
               statements, differ in certain respects from GAAP in the United
               States of America ("U.S. GAAP"), as indicated in Note 6. The
               accounting principles applied in the preparation of these interim
               financial statements are consistent with those principles applied
               in the preparation of the most recent annual audited financial
               statements, except for the accounting principles detailed in (4)
               below.

          (3)  RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS BY THE FASB

               A.   SFAS NO. 151. INVENTORY COSTS, AN AMENDMENT OF ARB NO. 43,
                    CHAPTER 4 - In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151,
                    "INVENTORY COSTS, AN AMENDMENT OF ARB NO. 43, CHAPTER 4".
                    SFAS No. 151 amends the guidance in ARB 43, Chapter 4,
                    "Inventory Pricing", which provides guidance on the
                    allocation of certain costs to inventory. SFAS 151 clarifies
                    that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight,
                    handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage) should be
                    recognized as current-period charges. In addition, SFAS 151
                    requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to
                    the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of
                    the production facilities. The provisions of this statement
                    are effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal
                    years beginning after June 2005. The provisions of this
                    statement shall be applied prospectively. This Standard is
                    not expected to have a material effect on the Company's
                    financial position and results of operations.

          (3)  RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT BY THE FASB (cont.)

               B.   SFAS 153, EXCHANGE OF NON-MONETARY ASSETS - In December
                    2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, "EXCHANGES OF
                    NONMONETARY ASSETS AN AMENDMENT OF APB NO. 29". This
                    Statement amends Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for
                    nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and
                    replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of
                    nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance.
                    The Statement specifies that a nonmonetary exchange has
                    commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity
                    are expected to change significantly as a result of the
                    exchange. This Statement is effective for nonmonetary asset
                    exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June
                    15, 2005. Earlier application is permitted for nonmonetary
                    asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after
                    the date this Statement is issued. Retroactive application
                    is not permitted. The adoption of this Standard is not
                    expected to have a material effect on the Company's
                    financial position and results of operations.

               C.   SFAS NO. 154. ACCOUNTING CHANGES AND ERROR CORRECTIONS -
                    This Statement, published in May 2005, replaces APB Opinion
                    No. 20, Accounting Changes, and FASB Statement No. 3,
                    Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial
                    Statements, and changes the requirements for the accounting
                    for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. This
                    Statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting
                    principle, and to changes required by an accounting
                    pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement
                    does not include specific transition provisions.

                    Opinion 20 previously required that most voluntary changes
                    in accounting principle be recognized by including in net
                    income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of
                    changing to the new accounting principle. This Statement
                    requires retrospective application to prior periods'
                    financial statements of changes in accounting principle,
                    unless it is impracticable to determine the specific effects
                    or the cumulative effect of the change. The Statement also
                    provides guidance for cases in which it is impracticable to
                    determine the period-specific effects of an accounting
                    change on one or more individual prior periods presented,
                    and/or for cases in which it is impracticable to determine
                    the cumulative effect of applying a change in accounting
                    principle to all prior periods.

               C.   SFAS NO. 154. ACCOUNTING CHANGES AND ERROR CORRECTIONS
                    (cont.)

                    This Statement defines retrospective application as the
                    application of a different accounting principle to prior
                    accounting periods as if that principle had always been used
                    or as the adjustment of previously issued financial
                    statements to reflect a change in the reporting entity. This
                    Statement also redefines restatement as the revisiting of
                    previously issued financial statements to reflect the
                    correction of an error.

                    This Statement also requires that a change in depreciation,
                    amortization, or depletion method for long-lived,
                    non-financial assets, be accounted for as a change in
                    accounting estimate effected by a change in accounting
                    principle. This Statement carries forward without change the
                    guidance contained in Opinion 20 for reporting the
                    correction of an error in previously issued financial
                    statements and a change in accounting estimate. This
                    Statement also carries forward the guidance in Opinion 20
                    requiring justification of a change in accounting principle
                    on the basis of preferability.

                    The provisions of this Statement are effective for
                    accounting changes and corrections of errors made during
                    fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption
                    of this Standard is not expected to have a material effect
                    on the Company's financial position and results of
                    operations.

                    ACCOUNTING STANDARD NO. 19 "TAXES ON INCOME" - In July 2004,
                    the Israeli Accounting Standards Board published Accounting
                    Standard No. 19 "INCOME TAXES" (the "Standard"). The
                    Standard established the guideline for recognizing,
                    measuring, presenting and disclosing income taxes in the
                    financial statements. The Standard is effective for
                    financial statements relating to reporting periods
                    commencing on, or after, January 1, 2005. The initial
                    adoption of the Standard is accounted for by the cumulative
                    effect of change in accounting method, for the beginning of
                    the period in which the Standard is initially adopted. The
                    implementation of the Standard did not affect the Company's
                    financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

     B.   ESTABLISHMENT AND OPERATIONS OF NEW FABRICATION FACILITY ("FAB 2")

          In January 2001, the Company's Board of Directors approved the
          establishment of a new wafer fabrication facility in Israel ("Fab 2").
          Fab 2 is designated to manufacture semiconductor integrated circuits
          on silicon wafers in geometries of 0.18 micron and below on
          200-millimeter wafers. The Company has entered into several related
          agreements and other arrangements and has completed public and private
          financing deals, which, as of the approval date of the interim
          financial statements, have provided an aggregate of $1,269,000 of
          financing for Fab 2.

          The Fab 2 project is a complex undertaking, which entails substantial
          risks and uncertainties. For further details concerning the Fab 2
          project and related agreements, some of which were amended several
          times, risks and uncertainties, see Note 12A to the 2004 audited
          consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 1 - GENERAL (cont.)

     C.   FINANCING OF THE COMPANY'S ONGOING OPERATIONS

          In the first half of 2005 and in recent years, the Company has
          experienced significant recurring losses from operations and recurring
          negative cash flows from operating activities and an increasing
          accumulated deficit. According to the Company's approved short-term
          working plan, based on the current prevailing semiconductor market
          conditions, in the event the Company raises in a timely manner
          approximately $60,000 in funds as contemplated by an amendment to the
          Facility Agreement that was signed in July 2005, and by the
          commitments of certain of the Company's Equity Investors and Wafer
          Partners, described in Note 4B below, the Company will still need to
          raise additional funds in order to finance its short-term activities
          and liabilities in 2006, at least until the Company achieves positive
          cash flow from its operations. In addition, for details concerning
          recent amendments to certain of the Company's financial ratios and
          covenants through the third quarter of 2006 under the amended Facility
          Agreement with the Banks, which were obtained subsequent to a waiver
          letter agreement signed between the Company and the Banks in January
          2005, see Note 4B below and Note 12A(6) to the 2004 audited
          consolidated financial statements. In light of the above described,
          the Company has been taking comprehensive measures to obtain the
          needed funds for its near-term ongoing operations, as well as to
          reduce its short-term liabilities. The Company has also implemented
          cost reduction measures, including measures to reduce expenses, cost
          structure and cash burn, and in March 2005, the Company completed a
          workforce cutback, as part of an across-the-board savings plan focused
          on operational efficiencies. In this regard, the Company, certain of
          its Equity Investors, Wafer Partners, and its Banks have been holding
          discussions to provide additional funding for the Company of an
          aggregate amount of approximately $60,000. Consequently, in July 2005,
          an amendment to the Facility Agreement was signed between the Company
          and its Banks, which is subject to the fulfillment of certain closing
          conditions, for providing the Company with up to $30,000, through the
          end of March 2006 (for additional details, see Note 4B below). In
          addition, as of the approval date of the interim financial statements,
          certain of the Company's Equity Investors and Wafer Partners have
          committed and are obligated to invest $24,500 in the framework of the
          preliminary rights offering prospectus the Company filed in July 2005
          in the U.S. and Israel, described in Note 5D below. Further, the
          Company is currently examining alternatives for additional funding
          sources.

          The Company's management estimates that it is probable that the
          closing conditions to the amendment to the Facility Agreement will be
          satisfied in a timely manner, the rights offering process will be
          successfully completed and the Equity Investors and Wafer Partners
          will invest the funds as described above, and that additional funds
          the Company will need in 2006 from the additional funding sources the
          Company is currently examining, as described above, will be achieved.

NOTE 4 - RECENT DEVELOPMENTS RELATING TO FAB 2

     A.   APPROVED ENTERPRISE STATUS

          Under the terms of the approved enterprise program for Fab 2, the
          Company is eligible to receive grants of 20% of up to $1,250,000
          invested in Fab 2 plant and equipment, or an aggregate of up to
          $250,000, of which as of the balance sheet date, an aggregate of
          $155,005 has been already received from the Investment Center.

          Under the terms of the program, investments in respect of Fab 2 may be
          completed by December 31, 2005, five years from the date the approval
          certificate was obtained. Due to the later than planned commencement
          of construction of Fab 2, prevailing market conditions and slower than
          planned ramp-up, the Company does not expect to complete Fab 2
          investments by the end of 2005. As of June 30, 2005, the Company
          completed approximately 71% of the investments under the approved
          enterprise program.

          Since the approved investment period of five years ends on December
          31, 2005, the Company has been holding discussions with the Investment
          Center to achieve satisfactory arrangements to approve a new expansion
          program to commence on January 1, 2006. During the first half of 2005,
          the Company received letters from the Israeli Minister of Industry,
          Trade and Employment and from the General Manager of the Investment
          Center stating that they will act under Israeli law to support such
          expansion. In April 2005, at the Investment Center's request, the
          Company submitted a revised business plan to the Investment Center for
          the period commencing on January 1, 2006. As of the approval date of
          the interim financial statements, the process of reviewing the revised
          business plan is in its early stages, and the Company's management
          cannot estimate the outcome of the Company's efforts to obtain
          approval for an expansion program to its Fab 2 approved enterprise
          program.

     B.   AMENDMENTS TO THE FACILITY AGREEMENT

          During 2005, the Company and the Banks entered into the following
          amendments to the Facility Agreement:

          (1)  In January 2005, the Company and its Banks signed a waiver letter
               agreement according to which the Banks waived the Company's
               non-compliance with certain financial ratios and covenants for
               the fourth quarter of 2004. The agreement signed also amended
               certain of the financial ratios and covenants the Company is to
               comply with during 2005, which were further revised in the
               framework of the July 2005 amendment to the Facility Agreement
               described below.

     B.   AMENDMENTS TO THE FACILITY AGREEMENT (cont.)

          (2)  In July 2005, further to a letter of intent signed between the
               Company and its Banks in May 2005, the Company and its Banks
               entered into a definitive amendment to the Facility Agreement.
               The amendment provides, among other things, for Banks financing
               of up to $30,000 to cover the Company's 2005 interest payments
               under the Facility Agreement, subject to a similar amount being
               raised by the Company from investors. In connection with the
               amendment, certain of the Company's Equity Investors and Wafer
               Partners, have committed and are obligated to invest an aggregate
               of $23,500 towards such funding by investors in the context of
               the rights offering described in Note 5D below.

               The up to approximately $30,000 to be provided by the Banks under
               the July 2005 amendment may be withdrawn in up to three
               installments through the end of March 2006, will bear annual
               interest based on the three-month LIBOR plus 2.5% and shall be
               repayable in a period between twelve to fifteen months from each
               date any amount is received by the Company. The amendment further
               provides that a rescheduling of said repayments dates should be
               discussed following the closing date of the amendment.

               Any unutilized amount on account of the up to approximately
               $30,000 amount will bear a commitment fee at an annual rate of
               0.25%.

               The July 2005 amendment further provides that: (i) The Israel
               Corporation undertaking, as detailed in Note 12A(6) to the 2004
               annual financial statements, shall be extended from June 30, 2006
               to December 31, 2006; (ii) such undertaking will be deemed to
               have been fulfilled if the Israel Corporation invests in the
               context of the rights offering at least $14,000; (iii) any
               amounts raised through March 31, 2006, up to $30,000 from the
               investors as detailed above, shall not constitute financing from
               other sources towards the $152,000 fundraising milestone, as
               detailed in Note 12A(6) to the 2004 annual financial statements;
               and (iv) the last date in which the Company is to comply with the
               $152,000 fundraising milestone is postponed from December 31,
               2005 to June 30, 2006.

               The amendment also revised certain of the financial ratios and
               covenants through the third quarter of 2006 to align them with
               the Company's current working plan. The Company's management
               estimates that it is probable that the Company will comply with
               the revised financial ratios and covenants under the July 2005
               amendment.

               For warrants provided to the Banks in connection with the
               amendment, see Note 5B(5) below.

     B.   AMENDMENTS TO THE FACILITY AGREEMENT (cont.)

               As of the balance sheet date, the Company was in full compliance
               with all of the financial ratios and covenants under the amended
               Facility Agreement. According to the Facility Agreement,
               satisfying the financial ratios and covenants is a material
               provision.

               The Facility Agreement provides that if, as a result of any
               default, the Banks were to accelerate the Company's obligations,
               the Company would be obligated, among other matters, to
               immediately repay all loans made by the Banks (which as of the
               balance sheet date amounted to $497,000) plus penalties, and the
               Banks would be entitled to exercise the remedies available to
               them under the Facility Agreement, including enforcement of their
               lien against all of the Company's assets.

NOTE 5 - OTHER RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

     A.   CLASS ACTION

          In August 2004, the United States District Court dismissed the class
          action filed in July 2003 by certain of the Company's shareholders in
          the United States against the Company and certain of its directors,
          Wafer Partners and Equity Investors ("the Defendants"). The plaintiffs
          had asserted claims arising under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
          alleging misstatements and omissions made by the Defendants in
          materials sent to the Company's shareholders in April 2002 with
          respect to the approval of an amendment to the Company's investment
          agreements with its Fab 2 investors. In December 2004, one of the lead
          plaintiffs filed an appeal of the decision dismissing the complaint.
          The Company believes that the complaint is without merit and is
          vigorously contesting it.

     B.   SHARE OPTION PLANS

          (1)  OPTIONS GRANTED TO DIRECTORS - In accordance with the Company's
               share option plan for directors, 80,000 options were granted in
               February 2005 to two newly appointed directors (40,000 options
               each) at an exercise price of $1.87, which equals the market
               price of the Company's shares on the grant date. As of the of the
               balance sheet date, 240,000 options were outstanding under the
               plan, with a weighted average exercise price of $6.08.

     B.   SHARE OPTION PLANS (cont.)

          (2)  EXPIRATION OF OPTIONS GRANTED TO THE COMPANY'S FORMER CHAIRMAN OF
               THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER - Due to the
               resignation of the Company's former Chairman of the Board of
               Directors and Chief Executive Officer, in May 2005 625,800 of the
               1,043,000 options granted to him, were fully forfeited.


          (3)  OPTIONS TO THE COMPANY'S NEW CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR
               - In April 2005, the Company's Board of Directors approved the
               grant of options to purchase up to 1,325,724 Ordinary Shares to
               the Company's new appointed Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), who
               was also appointed as a director. These options are exercisable
               at an exercise price of $1.56, the opening market price of the
               Company's shares on the date of the board approval of the grant.
               Granted options will vest over a four-year period, 25% over each
               year of employment. The options granted are exercisable for a
               period of ten years from the date of grant. The grant of the
               options is subject to the approval of the Company's shareholders.
               If as a result of equity financings consummated after April 30,
               2005 (excluding the exercise or conversion of existing warrants,
               options, convertible debentures or other rights to acquire the
               Company's securities on such date), the CEO's total number of
               options granted to him through April 30, 2007 would represent
               less than 1.2% of the total number of issued and outstanding
               shares of the Company as of April 30, 2007, additional options
               will be granted to the CEO to result in a 1.2% holding of the
               total number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company as
               of April 30, 2007.

          (4)  OPTIONS TO EMPLOYEES - In May 2005, the Company's Board of
               Directors approved the grant of 2,900,000 options to the
               Company's employees at an exercise price of $1.58, which equals
               to the Company's share market price as of the date of grant. The
               options granted will vest over a four-year period from the date
               of grant and will expire ten years from such date. The net
               increase to the total outstanding options under the Company's
               various employee share option plans during the six-month period
               ended June 30, 2005, amounted to 1,433,709 options.

          (5)  WARRANTS TO THE BANKS - In connection with the July 2005
               amendment detailed in Note 4B above, the Company agreed to issue
               warrants to the Banks exercisable into an aggregate of 8,264,464
               ordinary shares of the Company, with an exercise price of $1.21.
               One-half (4,132,232 warrants) are exercisable for five years
               ending in July 2010, and one-half (4,132,232 warrants) shall be
               exercisable for a five-year period commencing on the date on
               which the Company and its Banks will agree, if at all, upon the
               rescheduled repayment dates of the new loans of up to
               approximately $30,000, as described in Note 4B above. The cost of
               the 4,132,232warrants issued to the Banks in July 2005,
               determined based on the fair value at the grant date in
               accordance with SFAS 123, amounted to a total of $2,793. Such
               amount is to be amortized as deferred financing charges over the
               terms of the new loans of up to approximately $30,000.


     C.   TERMINATION OF A JOINT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT

          In April 2005, a Japanese semiconductor manufacturer corporation
          elected, and the Company agreed, to cease the joint development of
          certain technology and to terminate the agreement entered into between
          the parties in May 2002 described in Note 12B(3) to the 2004 audited
          consolidated financial statements ("the Original Agreement").
          According to the terms of the termination agreement, the Japanese
          manufacturer paid an amount of $2,500 in April 2005. In addition, each
          party expressly released the other party from any obligations or
          liabilities of any nature in connection with the Original Agreement.
          The license rights granted to the parties continue pursuant to the
          terms of the Original Agreement. Subsequent to the termination of the
          agreement, and as a result of its termination, during the second
          quarter of 2005, the Company recognized revenues in the aggregate
          amount of $8,000.

     D.   CONTEMPLATED RIGHTS OFFERING

          In July 2005, the Company filed in Israel and the U.S. a preliminary
          prospectus for the distribution of transferable rights to purchase up
          to $50,000 principal of convertible debentures of the Company. The
          rights will be distributed to the shareholders of the Company on the
          record date and certain employees who on the record date hold options
          to purchase the Company's Ordinary Shares under share option plans
          that entitle the option holders to participate in a rights offering.
          Each recipient will receive one right for each 138.68 Ordinary Shares
          or employee options held on the record date. Each right will entitle
          the recipient to purchase, at a subscription price of $100.00, 100
          debentures, each of $1.00 in principal amount. The debentures are
          convertible into Ordinary Shares of the Company at a conversion rate
          of one Ordinary Share per each $1.10 amount of outstanding principal
          of the debentures. The conversion rate is subject to adjustments and
          the debentures may be automatically converted into Ordinary Shares of
          the Company under certain circumstances. The debentures will bear
          interest at the rate of 5% per annum. Principal, together with accrued
          interest, is payable in one installment in 2011.

          The rights are expected to be listed for trading for a single day on
          the NASDAQ Small Cap Market and the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. The
          debentures are expected to be listed and quoted on these Exchanges.

          Certain of the Company's Equity Investors and Wafer Partners have
          committed and are obligated to invest $24,500 in the framework of the
          rights offering.

          The payment of the principal and the interest on the debentures is
          subordinated to the prior payment of all amounts payable by the
          Company to the Banks under the Facility Agreement. The debentures are
          also effectively subordinated to amounts which the Company might owe
          to the Investment Center of the Israeli Ministry of Industry, Trade
          and Labor and to one of the Company's customers.

          Completion of the rights offering is subject to the prospectus being
          declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and
          the Israel Securities Authority.


     E.   In July 2005, the Company's Board of Directors approved the increase
          of the authorized share capital of the Company from 250,000,000 to
          500,000,000 shares, subject to shareholders approval.

NOTE 6 - MATERIAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ISRAELI AND U.S. GAAP

     With regard to the Company's interim financial statements, the material
     differences between GAAP in Israel and in the U.S. relate to the following.
     See F below for the presentation of the Company's unaudited balance sheet
     as of June 30, 2005 in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

     A.   PRESENTATION OF DESIGNATED CASH AND SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM
          INTEREST-BEARING DEPOSITS

          In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company's designated cash,
          short-term and long-term interest-bearing deposits should be excluded
          from current assets and long-term investments and presented separately
          as a non-current asset. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2005, $16,953 was
          reclassified from current assets to a long-term asset (as of December
          31, 2004 - $53,793 and $5,134, were reclassified from current assets
          and long-term investments, respectively, to a long-term asset).

     B.   PRESENTATION OF NET LONG-TERM LIABILITIES IN RESPECT OF EMPLOYEES

          Under U.S. GAAP, assets and liabilities relating to severance
          arrangements are to be presented separately and are not to be offset,
          while according to Israeli GAAP such an offset is required.
          Accordingly, as of June 30, 2005, an amount of $15,306 was
          reclassified from other long-term liabilities to long-term investments
          (as of December 31, 2004 - $16,350).


     C.   HEDGING ACTIVITIES IN ACCORDANCE WITH U.S. GAAP (SFAS 133)

          Complying with SFAS 133 and SFAS 138 and the related interpretations
          thereon with respect to the Company's hedging transactions as of June
          30, 2005 would have resulted in: an increase in other long-term
          investments in the amount of $878; an increase in other long-term
          liabilities in the amount of $1,299; a decrease in other comprehensive
          loss for the six months ended June 30, 2005 in the net amount of
          $2,649; an accumulated other comprehensive loss component of equity
          balance as of June 30, 2005 in the amount of $ 4,406; and in a
          decrease of $3,955 in property and equipment, net as of June 30, 2005.

     D.   IMPLEMENTATION OF SFAS 123 AND SFAS 148

          Had compensation cost for the Company's share option plans been
          determined based on fair value at the grant dates for awards made
          through June 30, 2005 in accordance with SFAS 123, as amended by SFAS
          148, the Company's pro forma loss and loss per share would have been
          as follows:

     E.   SALE OF SECURITIES

          Under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 14 ("APB 14"), the
          proceeds from the sale of the securities in January 2002 are to be
          allocated to each of the securities issued based on their relative
          fair value, while according to Israeli GAAP such treatment is not
          required. Complying with APB 14, based on the average market value of
          each of the securities issued in the first three days following their
          issuance (in January 2002), would have resulted in an increase in
          shareholders' equity as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 in the
          amount of $2,363 (net of $196 related issuance expenses), and a
          decrease in convertible debentures as of such dates in the amount of
          $2,559. The effect of amortization of the discount on the convertible
          debentures under U.S.GAAP for the periods ended at such dates would
          have been immaterial.

     H.   COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS) IN ACCORDANCE WITH U.S. GAAP (SFAS 130)

          Comprehensive income (loss) represents the change in shareholder's
          equity during a reporting period from transactions and other events
          and circumstances from non-owner sources. It includes all changes in
          equity during a reporting period except those resulting from
          investments by owners and distributions to owners. Other comprehensive
          income (loss) represents gains and losses that under U.S. GAAP are
          included in comprehensive income but excluded from net income.
          Following are statements of comprehensive loss in accordance with U.S.
          GAAP:
