IFRS Reporting:

This condensed unaudited financial information has been prepared according to International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). The preparation of the financial information in accordance with IFRS resulted in changes to the accounting policies as compared with the previous financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles inIsrael ("Israeli GAAP"). The new accounting policies have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements. They also have been applied in preparing an opening IFRS balance sheet at January 1, 2007 for the purposes of the transition to IFRSs, as required by IFRS 1. The impact of the transition from previous GAAP to IFRSs resulted mainly with an increase to operating expenses of $ 86 thousands, and $ 232 thousands for the three months ended March 31, 2007, and for the year ended December 31, 2007, respectively, the increase to the operating expenses was due to increased stock based compensation expenses that were offset by a decrease in employees benefits cost for the reported periods. In addition, various balance sheet reclassifications were done in order to conform to the current period presentation.
