Financial & Operational Highlights for the third quarter 2004 compared to second
quarter 2004:

Revenues

Revenues for the third quarter of 2004 were $4.1 million, compared to $3.7
million in the second quarter of 2004, an increase of 8% mainly due to increased
revenues from Visual Simulation market.



Gross Margin

Gross margin in the third quarter of 2004 was 64%, compared to 60% in the second
quarter of 2004. The increase in gross margin is the result of improved sales
volumes.



Research & Development

R&D expenses in the third quarter of 2004 were $0.8 million compared to $0.6
million in the second quarter of 2004, an increase of $0.2 million resulting
from one-time expenses related to organizational changes in the French
subsidiary.



Selling & Marketing

S&M expenses in the third quarter of 2004 increased to $2.2 million, compared to
$1.9 million in the previous quarter, mainly due to increase sales related
expenses.



General & Administrative

G&A expenses were $0.6 million in the second quarter of 2004, compared to $0.5
million in the second quarter of 2004.



Other Expenses

Other expenses in the third quarter of 2004 amounted to $ 0.1 million, mainly as
a result of costs related to share transfer agreement of Orad's subsidiary in
Hong Kong under which Orad became sole owner of the company.



Financial income (expenses)

Financial income consists primarily of exchange rate differences related to
non-US dollar balances and interest income earned on short-term deposits offset
by bank charges. Financial income for the third quarter of 2004 was $0.05
million, compared to financial expenses of $0.06 million in the second quarter
of 2004. The change is explained by exchange rate differences resulting mainly
from devaluation of the Euro against the Dollar.



Net Loss

Net loss for the third quarter of 2004 amounted to $1 million, compared to $0.9
million in the second quarter of 2004.



Net loss per share

Net loss per share for the third quarter of 2004 was 10 cents, compared to a net

Financial & Operational Highlights for the nine months and the quarter ended
September 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003:



Revenues

The revenues for the first nine months of 2004 were $11.2 million, compared to
$12.3 million for the first nine months of 2003, a decrease of 10%. The revenues

the third quarter of 2003, an increase of 10%.



Gross Margin

Gross margin for the first nine months of 2004 was 61% and 64% for the third
quarter of 2004, compared to 63% in the first nine months of 2003 and 62% in the
third quarter of 2003. Gross margin changes in 2004 were mainly the result of
sales volumes.





Research & Development

Research and development (R&D) expenses were $2.2 million in the first nine
months of 2004, compared to $2.7 million in the first nine months of 2003. The
decrease is mainly the result of measures taken by the Company to increase
efficiency and consolidate the R&D efforts of subsidiaries having complementary
technologies, as well as cost reductions from other organizational changes.

R&D expenses in the third quarter of 2004 were similar to R&D expenses in the
third quarter of 2003 and amounted to $0.8 million.



Selling & Marketing

Selling and Marketing (S&M) expenses were $6.2 million in the first nine months
of 2004, compared to $6.1 million in the first nine months of 2003, an increase
of $0.1 million, reflecting one time expenses in 2004 connected to
organizational changes and a one-off reduction in 2003. S&M expenses in the
third quarter of 2004 were $2.2 million, compared to $2.3 million in the third
quarter of 2003.



General & Administrative

General & Administrative (G&A) expenses were $1.7 million in the first nine
months of 2004, compared to $1.9 million in the first nine months of 2003. G&A
expenses in the third quarter of 2004 were $0.6 million, compared to $0.7
million in the third quarter of 2003. In both cases the decrease is mainly from
a reduction in the bad debts allowance.



Financial income (expenses)

Financial income (expenses) consists primarily of exchange rate differences
related to non-US dollar balances and interest income earned on short-term
deposits offset by bank charges. Financial expenses for the first nine months of
2004 were $0.04 million, compared to financial income of $0.1 million in the
first nine months of 2003. Financial income for the third quarter of 2004 was
$0.05 million compared to financial expenses of $0.02 million in the third
quarter of 2003. The financial income (expenses) in 2004 derived mainly from
exchange rate differences resulting from changes in the Euro compared to the
Dollar.



Other Expenses

Other expenses in the first nine months of 2004 amounted to $0.1 million, mainly
because of costs related to the share transfer agreement of Orad's subsidiary in
Hong Kong under which Orad became sole owner of the company. In 2003 other
expenses amounted to $0.2 million connected to the Company's admission to AIM.

million for the first nine months of 2003.

for the third quarter of 2003. The decrease in losses is the result of the cost
reduction measures taken by the Company.

loss per share of 14 cents for the third quarter of 2003. Net loss per share for
