General information regarding reclassifications:
The company has reclassified certain expenses which in 2005 were previously
recorded as general and administrative (G&A) and Sales and Marketing (S&M) to
other operating expenses and cost of good sold, in order to reflect better the
allocation of certain costs. The influence on the profit and loss accounts for
the three months and for the six months ended on June 30, 2005 is a decrease of
G&A in the amount of $0.19 million and $0.39 million, an increase of $0.35
million and $0.71 million in cost of good sold, an increase of $0.07 million and
$0.15 million in R&D and a decrease of $0.23 million and $0.47 million in S&M.
These changes had no affect on the operating loss (income), on the net income
(loss) and on the basic and diluted earning (loss) per share of H2 2005 , Q2
2005 and as well as on the year ended December 31, 2005.

compared to net loss of $2.3 million in the first six months of 2005, an

in sales volume.

compared to 43% in the second quarter of 2005.
Gross margin in the first six months of 2006 improved significantly to 59%

Financial income (expenses)
Financial income consists of exchange rate differences related to non-US dollar
balances and interest income earned on cash and cash equivalents offset by bank
charges. Financial income for the second quarter of 2006 was $0.16 million,
compared to financial income of $0.13 million on the first quarter of 2006 and
compared to financial expenses of $0.1 million in the second quarter of 2005.
The financial income in the first and second quarter of 2006 has been derived
mainly from exchange rate differences resulting from strengthening of the Euro
against the US Dollar during the period and due to the increase in the interest
rate on US dollar deposits.
