D.Risk Factors

Investing in our ordinary shares involves a high degree of risk and uncertainty.  You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below before investing in our ordinary shares.  Our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected due to any of the following risks.  In that case, the value of our ordinary shares could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
 
Risks Related to Our Business and Our Industry
 
We have a history of operating losses and may not be able to sustain profitability in the future.  To the extent that we continue to incur operating losses, we may not have sufficient working capital to fund our operations in the future.

We incurred operating losses in eachfour of the five years 2011, 2012 and 2013 andended December 31, 2016, including a loss of $4.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2016.  We may not be able to achieve or sustain profitable operations in the future or generate positive cash flows from operations.  As of December 31, 2014,2016, our accumulated deficit was $68 million.$79 million and we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term bank deposits of $1.2 million, compared to cash, cash equivalents and short-term bank deposits of $0.7 million as of December 31, 2015.   Based on our current operations, we believe our existing funds will be sufficient to fund our operations in 2017.  To the extent that we incur operating losses in the future or are unable to generate free cash flows from our business, we may not have sufficient working capital to fund our operations and will be required to obtain additional financing.  Such financing may not be available, or, if available, may not be on terms satisfactory to us.  If adequate funds are not available to us, our business, and results of operations and financial condition will be adversely affected.

We willmay need to raise additional capital in the future, which may not be availablesubstantially dilute the holdings of our shareholders.

In order to us;obtain working capital for our operations and to repay the outstanding debt due to our then principal shareholder, we havecompleted a follow-on public offering of 3,455,284 ordinary shares, offered at a price to the public of $2.46 per share on July 30, 2015. We then entered into a standstill agreementan investment transaction with our controlling shareholder and other shareholders after not repaying fully and timely the interest and principal dueDBSI on loans provided to us.
As a consequence of our need to invest in research and development, we incurred significant bank debt and sold equity and debt securities in private placements to fund our operating requirements.  Our controlling shareholder and other shareholders have provided us with loans in the aggregate amount of approximately $8.1 million, which are secured by second degree liens over all of our properties.  We have not timely and fully repaid the principal and interest due on a portion of such shareholders’ loans and therefore such loans are subject to acceleration upon the demand of the lenders.  However, we reached a standstill agreement with the lenders, or the Standstill Agreement,May 18, 2016, according to which except under extraordinary circumstances, they will not take any actionwe sold 8,510,638 ordinary shares to accelerate the loans.  The forbearance period created under the Standstill Agreement expired on January 31 2015. On April 27, 2015, following our shareholders' approval, we signed with our lendersDBSI for $4 million, reflecting a price per share of $0.47. We also issued to DBSI, without additional consideration, warrants to purchase 4,255,319 ordinary shares at an amendment to the Standstill Agreement, according to which, the forbearance period was extended to August 31, 2016 or (ii) 30 days after the closingexercise price per share of the offering that we intend to execute, resulting$0.47 (or $2 million in the repaymentaggregate) exercisable for a period of at least $7.5M on account of the our debt.

As part of the extension of the Standstill Agreement, we intend24 months and warrants to offer newpurchase   3,636,363 ordinary shares at an exercise price per share of $0.55 (or $2 million in the aggregate) exercisable for a potential offering that will diluteperiod of 48 months. DBSI also agreed to provide our  shareholders’ holdings.
In ordercompany with a three- year $3,175,000 convertible  loan bearing interest of Libor plus 6%, which was funded on June 16, 2016 and was used to repay the debt under the Standstill Agreement, our shareholders approved an outline pursuant to which we intend to first offer new ordinary shares in a registered public offering in order to raise up to approximately US$ 13 million. Under the negotiated terms of the standstill agreement , the lenders will have the right to participate in the offering on the same terms as the underwriter or placement agent will establish. In the event the lenders agree to participate in the offeringoutstanding convertible loan and accrued interest owed to an extent that would result in the offering not being deemed to be a “public offering” under the federal securities laws, the lenders will have the right to subscribe for the shares that were to be offered in the potential offering in a private placement.
entity owned by our former principal shareholder, Mr. Howard Yeung. In the event thatNovember 2016, we do not complete the offering or private placement by September 30, 2015, or if the proceeds of the offering or the private placement are insufficient to repay the debt in full, the lenders will, on a pro rata basis be entitled to convert some or all of the remaining debt that they hold, at such time and from time to time into our ordinary shares.
Any equity, debt financings or conversions of debt, may cause dilution to our then existing shareholders and may increase our financial expenses.  If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, the net tangible book value per sharesold 1,904,762 of our ordinary shares to The Phoenix Insurance Company Ltd. and its affiliate, Shotfut-Menayot-Israel-HaPhoenix Amitim Ltd., two Israeli institutional investors, at a price of $1.05 per share, or approximately $2 million in the aggregate. At the same time, DBSI invested an additional $1 million in our company through the exercise of 2,127,660 warrants.  As of March 2017, DBSI has paid us 1.5 million to exercise warrants to purchase 3,191,490 ordinary shares. We may decreaseneed additional working capital in the future to repay our debt and the percentage ownershipfund our operations.  Such financing may not be available, or, if available, may not be on terms satisfactory to us.  If adequate funds are not available to us, our business, and results of our then current shareholders wouldoperations and financial condition will be diluted.adversely affected.

Competition in the market for defense electronics is intense.  Our products may not achieve market acceptance, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
The market for our products is highly competitive and we may not be able to compete effectively in our market.  Our principal competitors in the defense electronics market include Elbit Systems Ltd., Goodrich Corporation,United Technologies Aerospace Systems, Honeywell International Inc., Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd., or IAI, Northrop Grumman Corporation, Sagem Avionics LLC, Thales Group, Zodiac Aerospace Group and SRC Inc.  We expect to continue to face competition from these and other competitors.  Most of our competitors are larger and have substantially greater resources than us, including financial, technological, marketing and distribution capabilities, and enjoy greater market recognition than we do.  These competitors are able to achieve greater economies of scale and may be less vulnerable to price competition than us.  We may not be able to offer our products as part of integrated systems to the same extent as our competitors or successfully develop or introduce new products that are more cost effective or offer better performance than those of our competitors.  Failure to do so could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
We may not be able to implement our growth strategy which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
In line with our growth strategy, we entered into a number of strategic relationships with Embraer S.A., or Embraer, Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd., or HAL, IAI, Lockheed Martin Corporation, or Lockheed Martin, Boeing Defense, Space & Security, or Boeing, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd., or Rafael, Israel Military Industries Ltd., or IMI, and DRS Technologies, or DRS, to increase our penetration into the defense electronics market.  We are currently investing and intend to continue to invest significant resources to develop these relationships and additional new relationships.  Should our relationships fail to materialize into significant agreements or should we fail to work efficiently with these companies, we may lose sales and marketing opportunities and our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.
 
Our growth is dependent in part on the development of new products, based on internal research and development.  We may not accurately identify market needs before we invest in the development of a new product.  In addition, we might face difficulties or delays in the development process that will result in our inability to timely offer products that satisfy the market and competing products may emerge during the development and certification process.

While we have met with initial success in the introduction of our advanced ground radars for tactical applications such as defense forces protection and border protection, there can be no assurance that we will succeed in obtaining general market acceptance or that we will ever recover our investment in this new product family.
 
We have developed  twoa number of radar hardware platforms for use in combat vehicles and short-rangetactical protection applications and infor defense forces and border protection applications.protection. In December 2014, we have announceannounced the first significant order for this product family, a $4.5 million order from a leading ministrythe Israel Ministry of defense.Defense. To date, we have not received any large$11.4 million in orders other customers. Similarly, we announced in March 2015for our ground radar products, but cannot assure you that  we entered into a contract with Lockheed Martin, which selected our multi-mission hemispheric radar product to support internally funded high energy laser weapon system prototype testing, and that we had entered into an agreement with DRS Technologies, under which they agreed to  sell, produce, and support, our tacticalground radars as part of its tactical radar portfolio. We have not yet received any orders from DRS Technologies with respect to the sale of our radars to third parties and there can be no assurance that we will ever receive any such orders. achieve broad market acceptance.
 
Reductions in defense budgets worldwide may cause a reduction in our revenues, which would adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
 
The vast majoritySubstantially all of our revenues are derived from the sale of products with military applications.  These revenues totaled approximately $21.6$12 million, or 96%100 % of our revenues in 2014, $20.32016, $14.1 million, or 93%99.9% of our revenues, in 2013the year ended December 31, 2015 and $20.3$21.6 million, or 94%99.9% of our revenues, in 2012.the year ended December 31, 2014.  The defense budgets of a number of countries have declined and  may be reduced in the future.  Declines in defense budgets may result in reduced demand for our products and manufacturing services.  This would result in reduction in our core business' revenues and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
 
Unfavorable national and global economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
 
During periods of slowing economic activity our customers may reduce their demand for our products and technology, which would reduce our sales, and our business, operating results and financial condition may be adversely affected. Economies throughout the world currently face a number of challenges, including threatened sovereign defaults, credit downgrades, restricted credit for businesses and consumers and potentially falling demand for a variety of products and services. Notwithstanding

In June 2016, a majority of voters in the improvingUnited Kingdom elected to withdraw from the European Union in a national referendum (Brexit). The referendum was advisory, and the terms of any withdrawal are subject to a negotiation period that could continue for a few years after the government of the United Kingdom formally initiates a withdrawal process. Nevertheless, the referendum has created significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union, and has given rise to calls for certain regions within the United Kingdom to preserve their place in the European Union by separating from the United Kingdom as well as for the governments of other E.U. member states to consider withdrawal.

These developments, or the perception that any of them could occur, could have a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and the stability of global financial markets, and could significantly reduce global market liquidity and restrict the ability of key market participants to operate in some of our markets, many companies are still cutting back expenditures or delaying planscertain financial markets. Asset valuations, currency exchange rates and credit ratings may be especially subject to add additional personnel or systems. Any further worsening of the global economic condition could result in longer sales cycles, slower adoption of new technologies and increased price competition for our products and services. We could also be exposed to credit risk and payment delinquencies on our accounts receivable, which are not covered by collateral.market volatility. Any of these events would likely harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

Sales of our products are subject to governmental procurement procedures and practices; termination, reduction or modification of contracts with our customers or a substantial decrease in our customers' budgets may adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

Our products are primarily sold to governmental agencies, governmental authorities and government-owned companies, many of which have complex and time consuming procurement procedures.  A substantial period of time often elapses from the time we begin marketing a product until we actually sell that product to a particular customer.  In addition, our sales to governmental agencies, authorities and companies are directly affected by these customers’ budgetary constraints and the priority given in their budgets to the procurement of our products.  A decrease in governmental funding for our customers’ budgets would adversely affect our results of operations.  This risk is heightened during periods of global economic slowdown.  Accordingly, governmental purchases of our systems, products and services may decline in the future as the governmental purchasing agencies may terminate, reduce or modify contracts or subcontracts if:
 
·their requirements or budgetary constraints change;
 
4

·they cancel multi-year contracts and related orders if funds become unavailable;
 
·they shift spending priorities into other areas or for other products; or
 
·they adjust contract costs and fees on the basis of audits.
 
Any such event may have a material adverse effect on us.
 
Further, our business with the State of Israel and other governmental entities is, in general, subject to delays in funding and performance of contracts and the termination for convenience (among other reasons) of contracts or subcontracts with governmental entities.  The termination, reduction or modification of our contracts or subcontracts with the Government of Israel in the event of change in requirements, policies or budgetary constraints would have an adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
 
If we do not receive the governmental approvals necessary for the export of our products, our revenues may decrease.  Similarly, if our suppliers and partners do not receive government approvals necessary to export their products or designs to us, our revenues may decrease and we may fail to implement our growth strategy.
 
Israel's defense export policy regulates the sale of our systems and products.  Current Israeli policy encourages export to approved customers of defense systems and products, such as ours, as long as the export is consistent with Israeli government policy.  A license is required to initiate marketing activities.  We are also required to obtain a specific export license for any hardware exported from Israel.  We may not be able to receive all the required permits and licenses for which we may apply in the future.  If we do not receive the required permits for which we apply, our revenues may decrease.
 
We are subject to laws regulating export of "dual use" items (items that are typically sold in the commercial market, but that also may be used in the defense market) and defense export control legislation. Additionally, our participation in governmental procurement processes in Israel and other countries is subject to specific regulations governing the conduct of the process of procuring defense contracts.  Furthermore, solicitations for procurements by governmental purchasing agencies in Israel and other countries are governed by laws, regulations and procedures relating to procurement integrity, including avoiding conflicts of interest and corruption in the procurement process.  We may not be able to respond quickly and effectively to changing laws and regulations and any failure to comply with such laws and regulations may subject us to significant liability and penalties.
 
We depend on sales to key customers and the loss of one or more of our key customers would result in a loss of a significant amount of our revenues, which would adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
A significant portion of our revenues is derived from a small number of customers. During the years ended December 31, 20142016 and 2013,2015, 51%83% and 54%71% of our revenues, respectively, were attributable to threesix customers. We anticipate that a significant portion of our future revenues will continue to be derived from sales to a small number of customers.  No assurances can be given that our customers will continue to purchase our products, that we will be successful in any bid for new contracts to provide such products, or that if we are grantedsubsequentgranted subsequent orders, that such orders would be of a scope comparable to the sales that we have experienced to date. If our principal customers do not continue to purchase products from us at current levels or if we do not retain such customers and we are not able to derive sufficient revenues from sales to new customers to compensate for their loss, our revenues would be reduced and adversely affect our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
 
5

We depend on a limited number of suppliers of components for our products and if we are unable to obtain these components when needed, we could experience delays in the manufacturing of our products and our financial results could be adversely affected.
 
We acquire most of the components for the manufacturing of our products from a limited number of suppliers and subcontractors, most of whom are located in Israel and the United States.  CertainA number of these suppliers are currently the sole source of one or more components upon which we are dependent.  Suppliers of some of the components for manufacturing require us to place orders with significant lead-time to assure supply in accordance with our manufacturing requirements.  Inadequacy of operating funds may cause us to delay the placement of such orders and may result in delays in supply.  Delays in supply may significantly hurt our ability to fulfill our contractual obligations and may significantly hurt our business and result of operations.  In addition, we may not be able to continue to obtain such components from these suppliers on satisfactory commercial terms.  Temporary disruptions of our manufacturing operations would ensue if we were required to obtain components from alternative sources, which may have an adverse effect on our financial results.
 
Rapid technological changes may adversely affect the market acceptance of our products and could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
The defense electronics market in which we compete is subject to technological changes, introduction of new products, change in customer demands and evolving industry standards.  Our future success will depend upon our ability to keep pace with technological developments and to timely address the increasingly sophisticated needs of our customers by supporting existing and new technologies and by developing and introducing enhancements to our current products and new products.  We may not be successful in developing and marketing enhancements to our products that will respond to technological change, evolving industry standards or customer requirements.  In addition, we may experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful development, introduction and sale of such enhancements and such enhancements may not adequately meet the requirements of the market and may not achieve any significant degrees of market acceptance.  If release dates of our new products or enhancements are delayed or, if when released, they fail to achieve market acceptance, our business, operating results and financial condition may be adversely affected.
 
We enter into fixed-price contracts that could subject us to losses in the event we fail to properly estimate our costs.

We enter into firm fixed-price contracts. If our initial cost estimates are incorrect, we can lose money on these contracts. Because many of these contracts involve new technologies, unforeseen events, such as technological difficulties and other cost overruns, can result in the contract pricing becoming less favorable or even unprofitable to us and have an adverse impact on our financial results.

Breaches of network or information technology security, natural disasters or terrorist attacks could have an adverse effect on our business.
 
Cyber attacksCyber-attacks or other breaches of network or IT security, natural disasters, terrorist acts or acts of war may cause equipment failures or disrupt our systems and operations. We may be subject to attempts to breach the security of our networks and IT infrastructure through cyber attack, malware, computer viruses and other means of unauthorized access.  The potential liabilities associated with these events could exceed the insurance coverage we maintain.  Our inability to operate our facilities as a result of such events, even for a limited period of time, may result in significant expenses or loss of market share to other competitors in the defense electronics market.  In addition, a failure to protect the privacy of customer and employee confidential data against breaches of network or IT security could result in damage to our reputation.  To date, we have not been subject to cyber attackscyber-attacks or other cyber incidents which, individually or in the aggregate, resulted in a material impact to our operations or financial condition.

We are subject to risks associated with international operations; we generate a significant portion of our sales from customers located in countries that may be adversely affected by political or economic instability and corruption.
 
WeWe are a global  aviation and defense company with worldwide operations. Although 58%65% of our sales are in Israel and North America, we expect to derive an increasing portion of our sales and future growth from other regions such as Latin America, India and Central and Eastern Europe, which may be more susceptible to political or economic instability. In addition, in many less-developed markets, we rely heavily on third-party distributorsrepresentatives , consultants and other agents for thebusiness development, marketing and distribution of our products and capabilities.products. Many of these distributorsthird-parties do not have internal compliance resources comparable to ours. Business activities in many of these markets have historically been more susceptible to corruption. If our efforts to screen third-partythird party agents and detect cases of potential misconduct fail, we could be held responsible for the noncompliance of these third parties under applicable laws and regulations, which may adversely affect our reputation and our business, financial condition or results of operations.
 
Exports accounted for 78%43% of our sales in 2014, 81%2016, 57% of our sales in 20132015 and 75%77% of our sales in 2012.2014.  Our reliance on export sales subjects us to many risks inherent in engaging in international business, including:

·Limitations and disruptions resulting from the imposition of government controls;
 
·Changes in regulatory requirements;
 
·Export license requirements;
 
·Economic or political instability;
 
·Trade restrictions;
 
·Changes in tariffs;
 
·Currency fluctuations;
 
·Longer receivable collection periods and greater difficulty in accounts receivable collection;
 
·Greater difficulty in safeguarding intellectual property;
 
·Difficulties in managing overseas subsidiaries and international operations; and
 
·Potential adverse tax consequences.
 
We may not be able to sustain or increase revenues from international operations and may encounter significant difficulties in connection with the sale of our products in international markets.  Any of those events may adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
 
In the United States, the new Trump Administration has called for substantial change to fiscal, tax and trade policies that may adversely affect our business. We cannot predict the impact, if any, of these changes to our business. However, it is possible that these changes could adversely affect our business.

In addition, as a company registered with the SEC, we are subject to the regulations imposed by the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or FCPA, which generally prohibits registrants and their intermediaries from making improper payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or keeping business or obtaining an improper business benefit. We have adopted proactive procedures to promote compliance with the FCPA, but we may be held liable for actions taken by our strategic or local partners or agents even though these partners or agents may not themselves arebe subject to the FCPA. Any determination that we have violated the FCPA could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, and cash flows.

Currency exchange rate fluctuations in the world markets in which we conduct business could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
 
Most of our revenues are in dollars or are linked to the dollar, while a portion of our expenses, principally salaries and related personnel expenses, are incurred in other currencies, particularly in NIS.  Therefore, our costs in such other currencies, as expressed in dollars, are influenced by the exchange rate between the dollar and the relevant currency.  We are also exposed to the risk that the rate of inflation in Israel will exceed the rate of depreciation of the NIS in relation to the dollar or that the timing of this depreciation lags behind inflation in Israel.  This would have the effect of increasing the dollar cost of our operations.  In the past, the NIS exchange rate with the dollar and other foreign currencies has fluctuated, generally reflecting inflation rate differentials.  We cannot predict any future trends in the rate of inflation in Israel or the rate of depreciation or appreciation of the NIS against the dollar.  If the dollar cost of our operations in Israel increases, our dollar-measured results of operations will be adversely affected. We engage in currency hedging transactions intended to partly reduce the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on our results of operations.  However, such transactions may not materially reduce the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on our results of operations.
We are dependent on our senior management and key personnel, and the loss of any key member of our management team could adversely affect our business.
Our future success depends in large part on the continued services of our senior management and key personnel.  In particular, we are dependent on the services of Herzle Bodinger, the executive chairman of our Board of Directors and Mr. Zvi Alon, our chief executive officer.  Any loss of their services or the services of other members of senior management or other key personnel could negatively affect our business.
 
Claims that our products infringe upon the intellectual property of third parties may require us to incur significant costs, enter into licensing agreements or license substitute technology.
 
Third parties may assert infringement claims against us or claims that we have violated a patent or infringed on a copyright, trademark or other proprietary right belonging to them.  Any infringement claim, even one without merit, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources to defend against the claim.  Moreover, a successful claim of product infringement against us or a settlement could require us to pay substantial amounts or obtain a license to continue to use the technology that is the subject of the claim, or otherwise restrict or prohibit our use of the technology.  We might not be able to obtain a license from the third party asserting the claim on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.  We also may not be able to be able to obtain a license from another provider of suitable alternative technology to permit us to continue offering the product.  Infringement claims asserted against us could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
 
Regulations that impose disclosure requirements regarding the use of “conflict” minerals mined from the Democratic Republic of Congo and adjoining countries in our products will result in additional cost and expense and could result in other significant adverse effects.
 
Rules adopted by the SEC implementing the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act impose diligence and disclosure requirements regarding the use of “conflict” minerals mined from the Democratic Republic of Congo and adjoining countries in our products. Compliance with these rules may result in additional cost and expense, including for due diligence to determine and verify the sources of any conflict minerals used in our products, in addition to the cost of remediation and other changes to products, processes, or sources of supply as a consequence of such verification activities. These rules may also affect the sourcing and availability of minerals used in the manufacture of our products to the extent that there may be only a limited number of suppliers offering “conflict free” metals that can be used in our products. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such metals in sufficient quantities or at competitive prices. Also, since our supply chain is complex, we may face reputational challenges with our customers, shareholders and other stakeholders if we are unable to sufficiently verify the origins of the metals used in our products. We may also encounter customers who require that all of the components of our products be certified as conflict free. If we are not able to meet customer requirements, such customers may choose to disqualify us as a supplier, which could impact our sales and the value of portions of our inventory.

We may fail to maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which could have an adverse effect on our financial results and the market price of our ordinary shares.
 
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 imposes certain duties on us and our executives and directors.  Our efforts to comply with the requirements of Section 404(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 governing internal controls and procedures for financial reporting, which started in connection with our 2007 Annual Report on form 20-F, have resulted in increased general and administrative expense and a diversion of management time and attention, and we expect these efforts to require the continued commitment of significant resources.  We may identify material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our assessments of our internal controls over financial reporting.  Failure to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting could result in investigation or sanctions by regulatory authorities and could have a material adverse effect on our operating results, investor confidence in our reported financial information and the market price of our ordinary shares.
 
Risk Factors Related to Our Ordinary Shares
 
Because one of our shareholders, DBSI, owns a majority of our outstanding shares, investors will not be able to affect the outcomesoutcome of shareholder votes.

Mr. Howard Yeung and an affiliate DBSI currently beneficially own approximatelyowns 48%13,423,907 of our ordinary shares, or approximately 50.7% of our outstanding shares as of April 29, 2015.shares. For as long as Mr. YeungDBSI, or any shareholder, has a controlling interest in our company, heit will have the ability to exercise a controlling influence over our business and affairs, including any determinations with respect to potential mergers or other business combinations involving us, our acquisition or disposition of assets, our incurrence of indebtedness, our issuance of any additional ordinary shares or other equity securities, our repurchase or redemption of ordinary shares and our payment of dividends. Similarly, as long as Mr. YeungDBSI has a controlling interest in our company, heit will have the power to determine or significantly influence the outcome of matters submitted to a vote of our shareholders, including the power to elect all of the members of our board of directors (except outsideexternal directors, within the meaning of Israeli law), or prevent an acquisition or any other change in control of us.  Because the interests of Mr. Yeungour controlling shareholders may differ from the interests of our other shareholders, actions taken by himit with respect to us may not be favorable to our other shareholders.

If we fail to maintain compliance with NASDAQ’s continued listing requirements, our shares may be delisted from the NASDAQ Capital Market.
Our ordinary shares are listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “RADA.”  To continue to be listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market, we need to satisfy a number of conditions, including minimum shareholders’ equity of at least $2.5 million and a minimum closing bid price per share of $1.00.  On October 1, 2015 Rada received notification from NASDAQ for not maintaining a minimum bid price of US$1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days (Listing Rule 5550(a) (2)). We were given 180 calendar days, or until March 29, 2016, to regain compliance. On March 30, 2016, we received notification from NASDAQ that we are eligible for an additional 180 calendar days to regain compliance.  Following a reverse split of our ordinary shares, on September 29, 2016, we  regained compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) and our shares continued to be listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market.
If in the future, our share price drops again and remains under $1.00 for 30 consecutive business days, and if we are ultimately delisted from NASDAQ, trading in our ordinary shares would be conducted on a market where an investor would likely find it significantly more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the value of, our ordinary shares..
 
Our share price has been volatile in the past and may decline in the future.
 
Our ordinary shares have experienced significant market price and volume fluctuations in the past and may experience significant market price and volume fluctuations in the future in response to factors such as the following, some of which are beyond our control:
 
·Quarterly variations in our operating results;
 
·Operating results that vary from the expectations of securities analysts and investors;
 
9

·Changes in expectations as to our future financial performance, including financial estimates by securities analysts and investors;
 
·Announcements of technological innovations or new products by us or our competitors;
 
9

·Announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;
 
·Changes in the status of our intellectual property rights;
 
·Announcements by third parties of significant claims or proceedings against us;
 
·Additions or departures of key personnel;
 
·Future sales of our ordinary shares;
 
·Delisting of our shares from the NASDAQ Capital Market; and
 
·Stock market price and volume fluctuations.
 
Domestic and international stock markets often experience extreme price and volume fluctuations.  Market fluctuations, as well as general political and economic conditions, such as a recession or interest rate or currency rate fluctuations or political events or hostilities in or surrounding Israel, could adversely affect the market price of our ordinary shares.
 
In the past, securities class action litigation has often been brought against companies following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities.  We may in the future be the target of similar litigation.  Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and divert management's attention and resources both of which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
 
Substantial future sales of our ordinary shares by our principal shareholdershareholders may depress our share price.
 
If our principal shareholder sellsshareholders, sell substantial amounts of histheir ordinary shares, including shares registered under effective registration statements and shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants or upon the conversion of convertible notes, or if the perception exists that our principal shareholdershareholders may sell a substantial number of our ordinary shares, the market price of our ordinary shares may fall.  Any substantial sales of our shares in the public market also might make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity related securities in the future at a time and on terms we deem appropriate.
 
We do not intend to pay dividends.
 
We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our ordinary shares and do not expect to do so in the foreseeable future.  The declaration of dividends is subject to the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on various factors, including our operating results, financial condition, future prospects and any other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors.  You should not rely on an investment in our company if you require dividend income from your investment in our company.  The success of your investment will likely depend entirely upon any future appreciation of the market price of our ordinary shares, which is uncertain and unpredictable.  There is no guarantee that our ordinary shares will appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which you purchased your ordinary shares.
 
We may in the future be classified as a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, which will subject our U.S. investors to adverse tax rules.
For U.S. federal income tax purposes, we will generally be classified as a PFIC for any taxable year in which either: (i) 75% or more of our gross income is passive income or (ii) at least 50% of the average quarterly value of our assets for the taxable year produce or are held for the production of passive income.  Based on certain estimates of our gross income and gross assets and the nature of our business, we do not expect that we will be classified as a PFIC for the taxable year ending December 31, 2016. There can be no assurance that we will not be considered a PFIC for any future taxable year. If we were determined to be a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, highly complex rules would apply to U.S. holders owning our ordinary shares and such U.S. holders could suffer adverse U.S. tax consequences.  Accordingly, you are urged to consult your tax advisors regarding the application of such rules.  U.S. residents should carefully read Item 10E. “Additional Information - Taxation - United States Federal Income Tax Consequences” for a more complete discussion of the U.S. federal income tax risks related to owning and disposing of our ordinary shares.

Risks Relating to Our Location in Israel
 
Political, economic and military instability in Israel may disrupt our operations and negatively affect our business condition, harm our results of operations and adversely affect our share price.
 
We are incorporated under the laws of, and our principal executive offices and manufacturing and research and development facilities are located in, the State of Israel.  As a result, political, economic and military conditions affecting Israel directly influence us.  Any major hostilities involving Israel, a full or partial mobilization of the reserve forces of the Israeli army, the interruption or curtailment of trade between Israel and its present trading partners, or a significant downturn in the economic or financial condition of Israel could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
10

Since its establishmentIn recent years, there have been hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah in 1948,Lebanon and Hamas in the Gaza strip, both of which resulted in rockets being fired into Israel has been involvedcausing casualties and disruption of economic activities. In addition, Israel faces threats from more distant neighbors, in a number of armed conflicts with its Arab neighbors and a state of hostility, varying from time to timeparticular, Iran. Also, in intensity and degree, has continued into 2015.  Also, since 2011,recent years riots and uprisings in several countries in the Middle East and neighboring regions have led to severe political instability in several neighboring states and to a decline in the regional security situation. Such instability may affect the local and global economy, could negatively affect business conditions and, therefore, could adversely affect our operations. In addition, Iran has threatened to attack Israel and is widely believed to be developing nuclear weapons. Iran is also believed to have a strong influence among extremist groups in neighboring areas to Israel, such as Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon. Following extensive missiles' attacks on its southern border and against Israeli population centers in July 2014, Israel has invaded the Gaza strip in order to destroy Hamas's military organization as well as its missiles' and tunnels' capabilities. On July 21, 2014, all U.S. airlines and most major airlines of other nationalities suspended their flights to Israel’s Ben-Gurion International Airport for several days after a missile landed approximately 1.5 km away. To date, these matters have not had any material effect on our business and results of operations; however, the regional security situation and worldwide perceptions of it are outside our control and there can be no assurance that these matters will not negatively affect usour business, financial condition and results of operations in the future.
 
Furthermore, we could be adversely affected by the interruption or reduction of trade between Israel and its trading partners.  Some countries, companies and organizations continue to participate in a boycott of Israeli companies and others doing business with Israel or with Israeli companies.  As a result, we are precluded from marketing our products to these countries, companies and organizations.  Foreign government defense export policies towards Israel could also make it more difficult for us to obtain the export authorizations necessary for our activities.  Also, over the past several years there have been calls in Europe and elsewhere to reduce trade with Israel.  Restrictive laws, policies or practices directed towards Israel or Israeli businesses may have an adverse impact on our operations, our financial results or the expansion of our business.
 
Our results of operations may be negatively affected by the obligation of our personnel to perform military service.

Many of our employees in Israel are obligated to perform annual military reserve duty and are subject to being called for active duty under emergency circumstances.  If a military conflict or war arises, these individuals could be required to serve in the military for extended periods of time.  Our operations could be disrupted by the absence for a significant period of one or more of our executive officers or key employees or a significant number of other employees due to military service.  Any disruption in our operations could adversely affect our business.
 
We may not be able to enforce covenants not-to-compete under current Israeli law.

We have non-competition agreements with most of our employees, many of which are governed by Israeli law. These agreements generally prohibit our employees from competing with us or working for our competitors for a specified period following termination of their employment. However, Israeli courts are reluctant to enforce non-compete undertakings of former employees and tend, if at all, to enforce those provisions for relatively brief periods of time in restricted geographical areas and only when the employee has unique value specific to that employer’s business and not just regarding the professional development of the employee. Any such inability to enforce non-compete covenants may cause us to lose any competitive advantage resulting from advantages provided to us by such confidential information.

11

We may become subject to claims for remuneration or royalties for assigned service invention rights by our employees, which could result in litigation and adversely affect our business.

A significant portion of our intellectual property has been developed by our Israeli employees in the course of their employment for us. Under the Israeli Patent Law, 5727-1967 (the “Israeli Patent Law”), inventions conceived by an employee during the term and as part of the scope of his or her employment with a company are regarded as "service inventions," which belong to the employer, absent a specific agreement between the employee and employer giving the employee service invention rights. The Israeli Patent Law also provides that if there is no such agreement between an employer and an employee, the Israeli Compensation and Royalties Committee (the “C&R Committee”), a body constituted under the Israeli Patent Law, shall determine whether the employee is entitled to remuneration for his inventions. The C&R Committee (decisions of which have been upheld by the Israeli Supreme Court) has held that employees may be entitled to remuneration for their service inventions despite having specifically waived any such rights. Further, the C&R Committee has not yet set specific guidelines regarding the method for calculating this remuneration or the criteria or circumstances under which an employee’s waiver of his right to remuneration will be disregarded. We generally enter into intellectual property assignment agreements with our employees pursuant to which such employees assign to us all rights to any inventions created in the scope of their employment or engagement with us. Although our employees have agreed to assign to us service invention rights and have specifically waived their right to receive any special remuneration for such assignment beyond their regular salary and benefits, we may face claims demanding remuneration in consideration for assigned inventions. As a consequence of such claims, we could be required to pay additional remuneration or royalties to our current or former employees, or be forced to litigate such claims, which could negatively affect our business.

11

Service and enforcement of legal process on us and our directors and officers may be difficult to obtain.
 
Service of process upon our directors and officers and the Israeli experts named in this annual report, most of who reside outside the U.S., may be difficult to obtain within the U.S. Furthermore, since substantially most our assets, our directors and officers and the Israeli experts named in this annual report are located outside the U.S., any judgment obtained in the U.S. against us or these individuals or entities may not be collectible within the U.S.
 
There is doubt as to the enforceability of civil liabilities under the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act in original actions instituted in Israel. However, subject to certain time limitations and other conditions, Israeli courts may enforce final judgments of U.S. courts for liquidated amounts in civil matters, including judgments based upon the civil liability provisions of those Acts.
 
The rights and responsibilities of our shareholders are governed by Israeli law and differ in some respects from those of a typical U.S. corporation.
 
We are incorporated under Israeli law and the rights and responsibilities of holders of our ordinary shares are governed by our articles of association and by Israeli law.  These rights and responsibilities differ in some respects from the rights and responsibilities of shareholders in typical U.S. corporations.  In particular, a shareholder of an Israeli company has a duty to act in good faith in exercising his or her rights and fulfilling his or her obligations toward the company and other shareholders and to refrain from abusing his power in the company, including, among other things, in voting at the general meeting of shareholders on certain matters. Israeli law provides that these duties are applicable to shareholder votes at the general meeting with respect to, among other things, amendments to a company’s articles of association, increases in a company’s authorized share capital, mergers and actions and transactions involving interests of officers, directors or other interested parties which require the shareholders’ approval. In addition, a controlling shareholder of an Israeli company or a shareholder who knows that he or she possesses the power to determine the outcome of a vote at a meeting of our shareholders, or who has, by virtue of the company’s articles of association, the power to appoint or prevent the appointment of an office holder in the company, or any other power with respect to the company, has a duty of fairness toward the company. However, Israeli law does not define the substance of this duty of fairness. There is little case law available to assist in understanding the implications of these provisions that govern shareholder behavior.
 
12

Israeli government programs and tax benefits may be terminated or reduced in the future.

We participate from time to time in programs of the Israeli Innovation Authority (formerly the Office of the Chief Scientist inScientist) of the Israeli Ministry of Economy,Economy., or OCS,Innovation Authority , for which we receive funding for the development of technologies and products. The benefits available under these programs depend on meeting specified conditions. For more information about these programs see Item 5. “Operating and financial review and prospects – Research & Developments – Chief Scientist (OCS)Israeli Innovation Authority.”  If we fail to comply with these conditions, we may be required to pay additional penalties, make refunds and may be denied future benefits. From time to time, the government of Israel has discussed reducing or eliminating the benefits available under these programs, and therefore these benefits may not be available to us in the future at their current levels or at all.

As a foreign private issuer whose shares are listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market, we may follow certain home country corporate governance practices instead of certain NASDAQ requirements.
 
As a foreign private issuer whose shares are listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market, we are permitted to follow certain home country corporate governance practices instead of certain requirements of The NASDAQ Stock Market Rules. Among other things, as a foreign private issuer we may follow home country practice with regard to the composition of the board of directors, director nomination procedure, and quorum at shareholders’ meetings. In addition, we may follow our home country law, instead of the NASDAQ Stock Market Rules which require that we obtain shareholder approval for certain dilutive events, such as for the establishment or amendment of certain equity based compensation plans, an issuance that will result in a change of control of the company, certain transactions other than a public offering involving issuances of a 20% or more interest in the company, and certain acquisitions of the stock or assets of another company).company. A foreign private issuer that elects to follow a home country practice instead of NASDAQ requirements must submit to NASDAQ in advance a written statement from an independent counsel in such issuer’s home country certifying that the issuer’s practices are not prohibited by the home country’s laws. In addition, a foreign private issuer must disclose in its annual reports filed with the SEC each such requirement that it does not follow and describe the home country practice followed by the issuer instead of any such requirement. Accordingly, our shareholders may not be afforded the same protection as provided under NASDAQ’s corporate governance rules.

ITEM 4.
INFORMATIONINFORMATION ON THE COMPANY
 
A.History and Development of the Company

We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel on December 8, 1970.

B.Business Overview

Industry Overview

Our activity is primarily focused on the defense electronics market.  This is a growing market has grown in recent years andthat is currently a large part of the defense business.industry.  The defense electronics market reflects two contradictory trends, the proliferation of defense electronics, which has been offset by the significant reduction in the price of electronic systems which is reducing the dollar value of the market.  Today, new military vehicles of all kinds are equipped with significantly more electronic systems than they used to carry in the past.  The increasing usage of advanced electronics in modern vehicles, including upgrades of existing technology and the growing use of unmanned vehicles of all kinds, have provided significant growth to the market.

Today's advanced defense electronics systems typically incorporate components that are derived from the industrial or the consumer electronics markets, especially from the telecom markets.  Most of the defense electronics systems are built with commercial components and even with sub-systems, which reduce the overall price, and at the same time generate complex obsolescence issues.
 
Purchasers of defense electronics products are either governments or major integrators.  Engagement in business relationships with these customers is complex, has a long sales cycle and requires long-term commitments for future support of delivered hardware.  Production batches of such products are usually small.
 
Suppliers of defense electronic systems are either providers of sub-systems to major integrators or providers of integrated systems to the industry or to the armed forces.  These companies are typically very large and have diversified product offerings.
 
New products in the defense electronic market are usually developed utilizing internal and customer sponsored research and development funds and are tailored to specific customer needs.  In many cases, the customer who pays for the design and adaptation limits the use of intellectual property that was funded by it for other applications, due to either commercial or security reasons.

Tactical Radars for Defense Forces and Border Protection Solutions
 
We develop advanced groundground-based radars for tactical applications such as defense forces protection and border protection. Our pulse Doppler, software-defined radars are solid-state, fully digital, incorporate active electronically scanned array, or AESA antenna, are compact, mobile and highly reliable, provide hemispheric spatial coverage and multi-mission capabilities, and demonstrate unprecedented performance-to-price ratio.
 
The asymmetric and irregular conflicts in which modern armies are engaged with in recent years dictate the needs for instantaneous and real-time intelligence, minimal cycle time for target acquisition, highly accurate weapons with minimal collateral damage and discrimination between hostiles and civilians. Our tactical radars, which move with the maneuvering combat units in the field and operate on-the-move, provide the real-time knowledge of whether and from where they are threatened, detect all relevant threats, whether unfriendly fire or drones/UAVs/fighters/helicopters from any firing anglesangle (including very high angles), discriminate among threats and provide the needed intelligence for any course of action, whether counter-fire or avoidance. The performance-over-price ratio of our radars makes them ideal solutions to the needs and requirements imposed by the asymmetric arena.
 
We have developed twovarious radar hardware platforms: the compact hemispheric radar, or CHR, which is tailored for use in combat vehicles and short-range protection applications; and thea family of multi-mission hemispheric radar,radars, or MHR,MHRs, which isare tailored for use in force and border protection applications. We offer  the MHR, the enhanced MHR, or eMHR, and the improved and enhanced MHR, or ieMHR; all share the same basic characteristics, but differ in range, size, weight, and price. For each radar platform we implement several operational missions by changing the radar operational parameters.
 
17

The current operational missions of the CHR are the following:
 
§
The RPS-10 radar sensors for active protection systems, or APS, detect all relevant threats that may be fired at combat vehicles, including RPGs, anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs) and projectiles and provide 360° hemispheric coverage. The system delivers threat data to the APS, enabling it to neutralize threats.
 
§The RPS-12 short-range hemispheric air surveillance radar system can detect, classify and track aerial vehicles at ranges of up to 10km, with emphasis on small UAVs. Mobile or stationary, the system can be integrated with any C4I system and other radars and sensors, and can operate either as a stand-alone, or as part of a large-scale surveillance system.
§The RPS-14 radar system for perimeter and border protection can detect, identify, and track aerial and surface intruders including slow and small aircraft, vehicles, vessels, and pedestrians at tactical ranges. The RPS-14 can operate either as a stand-alone, or as part of a large-scale surveillance system.
§
The RPS-15 comprehensive hostile fire management system for combat vehicle detects, tracks, classifies, and locates direct and elevated threats fired at combat vehicles, allowing the mobile force to successfully complete its mission while operating in a hostile environment.
 
 The current operational missions of the MHR family of radar platforms are the following:
 
§The RPS-40RPS-40/70/80 hostile fire detection radar system detects, tracks, classifiessystems detect, track, classify and locateslocate direct and elevated threats fired at stationary or mobile forces. It computesThey compute the Point-Of-Origin (POO) and Point-Of-Impact (POI) of the threats, which may be rockets, artillery, mortars, ATGMs, RPGs, and more other threats. The systemsystems can be integrated with any protection and Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence (C4I) system and be installed at stationary bases and posts, or onboard fighting vehicles.
 
§
The RPS-42RPS-42/72/82 tactical hemispheric air surveillance radar systemsystems can detect, classify and track all types of aerial vehicles, including fighters, helicopters, UAVs, transport aircraft, etc. at tactical ranges. Mobile or stationary, the systemsystems can be integrated with any C4I system and other radars and sensors, and can operate either as a stand-alone, or as part of a large-scale surveillance system.

Although we continually strive to increase the number of our customers, we anticipate that a significant portion of our future revenues will continue to be derived from a small number of customers. Because of our dependency on a small number of customers and on government contracts, we are subject to business risks, including changes in governmental appropriations and changes in national defense policies and priorities.  Although many of the programs in which we participate as a contractor or subcontractor may extend for several years, our business is dependent upon annual appropriations and funding of new and existing contracts.  Most of the contracts are subject to termination for the convenience of the customer, pursuant to which the customer pays only for reimbursement of costs incurred and the applicable profit on work performed.  The Israeli government or any other government may discontinue funding purchases of our products over the long term. See Item 3D “Key Information – Risk Factors - Risks Related to Our Business and Our Industry.”

Government Regulations
 
Israel's defense export policy regulates the sales of our systems and products.  Current Israeli policy encourages export to approved customers of defense systems and products, such as ours, as long as the export is consistent with Israeli government policy.
 
A license is required to initiate marketing activities.  We are also required to obtain a specific export license for any hardware exported from Israel.  We are regulated by an Israeli law regulating export of "dual use" items (items that are typically sold in the commercial market, but that also may be used in the defense market) and the Defense Export Control Law and its supplemental regulations.  Those laws and regulations govern the enforcement of export control and defined certain new areas of licensing, particularly with respect to transfer of technology.  It is not certain that we will receive all the required permits and licenses for which we may apply in the future. Our participation in governmental procurement processes in Israel and other countries is subject to specific regulations governing the process of procuring defense contracts.  Furthermore, solicitations for procurements by governmental purchasing agencies in Israel and other countries are governed by laws, regulations and procedures relating to procurement integrity, including avoiding conflicts of interest and corruption in the procurement process.
 
In addition, antitrust laws and regulations in Israel and other countries often require governmental approvals for transactions that are considered to limit competition.  Such transactions may include cooperative agreements for specific programs or areas, as well as mergers and acquisitions.
 
Proprietary Information
 
We generally do not consider patent protection significant to our current operations and rely upon a combination of security devices, trade secret laws and contractual restrictions to protect our rights in our products.  Our policy is to require employees and consultants to execute confidentiality agreements upon the commencement of their relationships with us.  These measures may not be adequate to protect our technology from third-party infringement, and our competitors might independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to ours.  Additionally, our products may be sold in foreign countries that provide less protection for intellectual property rights than that provided under U.S. or Israeli laws.
 
The Israeli government usually retains certain rights in technologies and inventions resulting from our performance as a prime contractor or subcontractor under Israeli government contracts and may generally disclose such information to third parties, including other defense contractors.  When the Israeli government funds research and development, it may acquire rights to proprietary data and title to inventions; we may retain a non-exclusive, royalty-free license for such inventions.  However, if the Israeli government purchases only the end product, we may retain the principal rights and the government may use the data and take an irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free license.
 
Manufacturing and SupplyQuality Management
 
Our production plant is located in Beit She'an, Israel.  The plant is equipped to handle most of our manufacturing processes and testing requirements.  For severala few specific processes we utilize outsourced resources.  This structure allows us flexibility and versatility.
22

 
We place great emphasis on quality control in our production processes.  Commencing with customer requirements and expectations, via raw material inspection through completion, specifications are repeatedly checked.  We maintain a quality assurance team that participates in every stage of the design and manufacturing of the products.  Our quality management system is certified by the Standards Institute of Israel, or SII, pursuant to ISO 9001:2008 for hardware design and production and ISO 90003:2004 for software design.  SII performs quality system audits twice a year and various customers perform audits four to six times a year.  Our environmental management system is certified by SII to ISO 14001:2004.  Our quality management system is also certified according to AS-9100C, a quality management system for aerospace requirements.
 
21

According to the standard warranty incorporated in most of our sales contracts, we warrant that our products will be free from defects in design, materials or workmanship, and guarantee repair or replacement of defective parts typically for periods between one to two years following delivery of a product to a customer.  We also provide maintenance services to customers who sign maintenance contracts.
 
Source and Availability of Raw Materials
 
We acquire most of the components for the manufacturing of our products from a limited number of suppliers and subcontractors, most of whom are located in Israel and the United States.  Some of these suppliers are currently the sole source of one or more components upon which we are dependent.  Since many of our purchases require long lead-times, a delay in supply of an item can significantly delay the delivery of a product.  To date, we have not experienced any particular difficulties in obtaining timely deliveries of necessary components.  We depend on a limited number of suppliers of components for our products and if we are unable to obtain these components when needed, we would experience delays in manufacturing our products and our financial results could be adversely affected.
 
C.Organizational Structure
 
We own an 80% interest in CACS, a company based in China that is engaged in aircraft repair services.  In 2010, we and our local partner in China, Tianzhu Forest Development Co., or Tianzhu, agreed that Tianzhu would divest its 20% interest and CACS would become a wholly-owned subsidiary.  In considerationsubsidiary, but  the necessary approvals for the 20%such sale have never been obtained.  Recently, we resolved to pursue a sale of our interest in our CACS we agreedsubsidiary. The results presented in this annual report were adjusted to provide Tianzhu our 80% interestpresent CACS’ results in the land and building in CACS.  The agreement is subject to the approval of the Chinese authorities and other procedures which need to be performed by both parties, which have not been completeda separate line as yet and the necessary approval may never be obtained.“Discontinued Operations”.
 
D.Property, Plants and Equipment
 
We own a 30,000 square feet industrial building in Beit She'an, Israel.  The building, which includes manufacturing facilities and warehouse space, is situated on land leased from the Israel Land Authority for a period of 49 years ending in 2034.  The plant has sufficient capacity to meet our current requirements.
 
Our executive offices and research and development facilities are located in a 17,782 square feet office facility in Netanya, Israel.  The lease for this facility expires in January 2018.2022.  The aggregate annual rent for our offices in Israel was approximately $333,000$320,000 in 2014.2016.

The majority of our sales are made outside of Israel and a substantial part of them are in dollars. In addition, a substantial portion of our costs are incurred in dollars. Since the dollar is the primary currency of the economic environment in which we operate, the dollar is our functional and reporting currency and, accordingly, monetary accounts maintained in currencies other than the dollar are remeasured using the foreign exchange rate at the balance sheet date. Operational accounts and non-monetary balance sheet accounts are measured and recorded at the exchange rate in effect at the date of the transaction. All monetary balance sheet accounts have been remeasured using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Statement of operations amounts have been remeasured using the average exchange rate for the period. The financial statements of our foreign subsidiary, whose functional currency is not the dollar, have been translated into dollars. All balance sheet amounts have been translated using the exchange rates in effect at balance sheet date. Statement of operation amounts have been translated using the average exchange rate prevailing during the year. Such translation adjustments are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders' equity.
 
Discussion of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimations
 
Our critical accounting policies, including the assumptions and judgments underlying them, are disclosed in the notes to our consolidated financial statements. These policies have been consistently applied in all material respects. While the estimates and judgments associated with the application of these policies may be affected by different assumptions or conditions, we believe the estimates and judgments associated with the reported amounts are appropriate under the circumstances. We believe the following accounting policies are the most critical in fully understanding and evaluating our financial condition and results of our operations under U.S. GAAP.
 
Revenue Recognition. Our revenues are mainly derived from sales of defense electronics (solid-state recorders, computers, inertial navigation systems,radars, etc.) and their supporting ground systems (automated testers, data debriefing stations). Product revenue is recognized when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the fee is fixed or determinable, delivery of the product to the customer has occurred and the collection of the fee is probable. If the product requires specific customer acceptance, revenue is deferred until customer acceptance occurs or the acceptance provisions lapse, unless we can objectively and reliably demonstrate that the criteria specified in the acceptance provisions are satisfied.
 
Revenues from long-term fixed price contracts are recognized by the percentage-of-completion method in accordance with the "input method." We apply this method when the total of the costs and revenues of the contract can reasonably be estimated. The percentage of completion is determined based on the ratio of actual costs incurred to total costs estimated to be incurred over the duration of the contract. With regard to contracts for which a loss is anticipated, a provision is made for the entire amount of the estimated loss at the time such loss becomes evident. Estimated gross profit or loss from long-term contracts may change due to changes in estimates resulting from differences between actual performance and original forecasts. Such changes in estimated gross profit or loss are recorded in results of operations when they are reasonably determined by management, on a cumulative catch-up basis. Revenues under long-term fixed-price contracts that involve both development and production are recorded using the cost-to-cost method (development phase) and units-of-delivery method (production phase) as applicable to each phase of the contract, as the basis to measure progress toward completion.
 
24

We also generate revenues from repair services using our automated test equipment, mainly through CACS.CACS (now classified as a discontinued operation). Revenues from services are recognized when the service is performed.
 
23

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. We are required to assess the impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. We assess the impairment of our assets based on a number of factors, including any significant changes in the manner of our use of the respective assets or the strategy of our overall business and significant negative industry or economic trends. Upon determination that the carrying value of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable, based upon a comparison of expected undiscounted future cash flows to the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment charge is recorded in the amount of the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.  As of December 31, 20142016 and 2013,2015, no impairment losses have been identified
 
Impairment of Goodwill.  We are required to assess the impairment of goodwill at least annually (or more frequently if impairment indicators arise).  FASB ASC 350 "Intangibles-Goodwill and other" prescribes a two-phase process for impairment testing of goodwill.  The first phase screens for impairment while the second phase (if necessary) measures it.  In the first phase of impairment testing, goodwill attributable to each reporting unit is tested for impairment by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying value.  We have only one reporting unit and we determine its fair value according to our market capitalization.  The goodwill was tested for impairment by comparing the fair market value with its carrying amount and as of December 31, 2014 and 2013(our annual assessment date), no impairment indicators have been identified.
Accounting for income taxes.  On January 1, 2007, we adopted FASB ASC 740-10 "Income Taxes," which contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions accounted for in accordance with ASC 740-10.  The first step is to evaluate the tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that, on an evaluation of the technical merits, the tax position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes.  The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement ASC 740-10.  We provided a valuation allowance in respect to the deferred tax assets resulting from operating loss carryforwards and other temporary differences.  Our management currently believes that since our company has a history of losses, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax regarding the loss carryforwards and other temporary differences will not be realized in the foreseeable future.
Derivatives and hedging. We, we are required to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value.  Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income as stipulated in FASB ASC 815 "Derivatives and Hedging," or ASC 815.  If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives are either offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings.  The ineffective portion of a derivative's change in fair value is immediately recognized in earnings.  We use derivatives to hedge certain cash flow foreign currency exposures in order to further reduce our exposure to foreign currency risks.
 
2524

In 2014, 2013 and 2012, we entered into forward contracts in order to hedge certain expense transactions denominated in NIS.  Our forward contracts did not qualify as hedging instruments under ASC 815. Changes in the fair value of forward contracts are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations as financial income or expense and not against the Other Comprehensive Income.  As of December 31, 2014, the fair value of the outstanding forward contracts was $216,000, which was recorded in other payables against financial expense and as of December 31, 2013, the fair value of the outstanding forward contracts was $46,000, which was recorded in other receivables against financial income.

Inventory valuation. The majority of our inventory consists of work in progress, raw materials and components. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost of finished goods is determined on the basis of direct manufacturing costs plus allocable indirect costs representing allocable operating overhead expenses and manufacturing costs. Raw material is valued using the “FIFO” method. We assess the valuation of our inventory on a quarterly basis and periodically write down the value for different finished goods and raw material items based on their potential utilization. If we consider specific inventory to be damaged, we write such inventory down to zero. Inventory write-offs are provided to cover risks arising from slow-moving items, discontinued products, and excess inventories. The process for evaluating these write-offs often requires us to make subjective judgments and estimates concerning the future utilization of the inventory items. Inventory write-offs were $138,000, $313,000$144,000, $153,000 and $72,000$138,000 as of December 31, 2014, 20132016, 2015 and 2012,2014, respectively.

Allowance for doubtful accounts. Our trade receivables are derived from sales to customers all over the world. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers. In certain circumstances, we may require letters of credit or prepayments. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses from the inability of our customers to make required payments that we have determined to be doubtful of collection. We determine the adequacy of this allowance by regularly reviewing our accounts receivable and evaluating individual customers’ receivables, considering customers’ financial condition, credit history and other current economic conditions. If a customer’s financial condition were to deteriorate which might impact its ability to make payment, then additional allowances may be required. Provisions for doubtful accounts are recorded in general and administrative expenses. Our allowance for doubtful accounts was $24,000, $36,000 and $15,000$14,000, $2,000, $16,000 as of December 31, 2014, 20132016, 2015 and 2012,2014, respectively.

We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation”.  Under the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 718, stock-based compensation cost is estimated at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense ratably over the requisite service period of the award.  We estimate the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model.

The fair value of an award is affected by our stock price on the date of grant and other assumptions, including the estimated volatility of our stock price over the term of the awards and the estimated period of time that we expect employees to hold their stock options.  Share-based compensation expense recognized in our consolidated statements of operations was reduced for estimated forfeitures.
Discontinued OperationsUnder ASC 205, "Presentation of Financial Statements - Discontinued Operation" when a component of an entity, as defined in ASC 205, has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale, the results of its operations, including the gain or loss on its  component are classified as discontinued operations and the assets and liabilities of such component are classified as assets and liabilities attributed to discontinued operations; that is, provided that the operations, assets and liabilities and cash flows of the component have been eliminated from the company's consolidated operations and the company will have no significant continuing involvement in the operations of the component. Subsequent to our determination to sell our interest in CACS, CACS’ results are accounted as discontinued operation and appear  in this annual report in a separate line item as “Discontinued Operations”.

Our Location in Israel
 
We are incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel, and our principal executive offices and principal manufacture, research and development facilities are located in Israel.  See Item 3D "Key Information – Risk Factors – Risks Relating to Our Location in Israel" for a description of governmental, economic, fiscal, monetary or political polices or factors that have materially affected or could materially affect our operations.
 
Corporate Tax Rate
 
Israeli companies were generally subject to corporate tax at thea rate of 26.5%25% in 2014.  The2016. In December 2016, the Israeli Parliament approved a measure whereby the corporate tax rate would be reduced in two stages from 25% to 23%, starting with a corporate income tax rate of 24% beginning in January 2017 which is expected to be 26.5%reduced to 23% beginning in 2015.January 2018.
 
As of December 31, 2014,2016, our net operating loss carry forward for Israeli tax purposes was approximately $61.8$71 million, including a capital loss carry forwards of approximately $3.4 million.
 
Trade Relations
 
Israel is a member of the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund, the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, and the International Finance Corporation. Israel is a member of the World Trade Organization and is a signatory to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. Israel is a member of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, or the OECD, an international organization whose members are governments of mostly developed economies. The OECD's main goal is to promote policies that will improve the economic and social well-being of people around the world. In addition, Israel has been granted preferences under the Generalized System of Preferences from the U.S., Australia, Canada and Japan. These preferences allow Israel to export the products covered by such programs either duty-free or at reduced tariffs.
28

 
Israel and the European Union Community, known as the "European Union," concluded a Free Trade Agreement in July 1975 that confers some advantages with respect to Israeli exports to most European countries and obligates Israel to lower its tariffs with respect to imports from these countries over a number of years. In 1985, Israel and the U.S. entered into an agreement to establish a Free Trade Area. The Free Trade Area has eliminated all tariff and some non-tariff barriers on most trade between the two countries. On January 1, 1993, an agreement between Israel and the European Free Trade Association, known as the "EFTA," established a free-trade zone between Israel and the EFTA nations. In November 1995, Israel entered into a new agreement with the European Union, which includes a redefinition of rules of origin and other improvements, such as allowing Israel to become a member of the Research and Technology programs of the European Union. Israel has established commercial and trade relations with other nations, including Russia, China, India, Turkey and other nations in Eastern Europe and the Asia-Pacific region.
 
Impact of Currency Fluctuation and of Inflation
 
A significant portion of the cost of our Israeli operations, primarily personnel and facility-related, is incurred in NIS. Therefore, our NIS related costs, as expressed in dollars, are influenced by the exchange rate between the dollar and the NIS. In addition, if the rate of inflation in Israel will exceed the rate of devaluation of the NIS in relation to the dollar, or if the timing of such devaluations were to lag considerably behind inflation, our cost as expressed in dollars may increase. NIS linked balance sheet items, may also create foreign exchange gains or losses, depending upon the relative dollar values of the NIS at the beginning and end of the reporting period, affecting our net income and earnings per share. Although we may use hedging techniques, we may not be able to eliminate the effects of currency fluctuations. Therefore, exchange rate fluctuations could have a material adverse impact on our operating results and share price. The caption "Financial expenses, net" in our consolidated financial statements includes the impact of these factors as well as traditional interest income or expense. See Note 1314 to our consolidated financial statements.
28

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, (i) depreciation or appreciation of the NIS against the most important currency for our business, the dollar, until December 31 each year and the year before, and (ii) inflation as reflected in changes in the Israeli consumer price index.

BecauseSince exchange rates between the NIS and the dollar fluctuate continuously, exchange rate fluctuations, particularly larger periodic devaluations, may have an impact on our profitability and period-to-period comparisons of our results. We cannot assure you that in the future our results of operations may not be materially adversely affected by currency fluctuations.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
 
ASU 2014-15 - Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40):

In MayAugust 2014, the FinancialFASB issued guidance on disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (ASU 2014-15), which defines management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern. ASU 2014-15 also provide principles and definitions that are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of disclosures in the financial statement footnotes. This guidance is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. we adopted the provisions of ASU 2014-15 for the year ended December 31, 2016. The adoption of ASU 2014-15 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2016-09 - Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718):
In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance on improvements to Employee Share-Based Payments. The standard requires among others that excess tax benefits or deficiencies for share-based payments be recorded as income tax benefit of expense, rather then within additional paid in capital, in the period the shares vest. Cash flows related to excess tax benefits will be included in operating activities instead of separately classified as a financing activity. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect this guidance to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements at the time of adoption of this standard.
ASU 2016-18 - Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230):
In November 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Update No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. The ASU requires that the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows explain the change in total cash and equivalents and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts. The ASU also requires a reconciliation between the total of cash and equivalents and restricted cash presented on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and the cash and equivalents balance presented on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. ASU 2016-18 is effective retrospectively on January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential effect of the guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
29


ASU 2016-02 - Leases (Topic 842):
In February 2016, the FASB issued comprehensiveguidance on the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e, lessees and lessors). The new revenue recognitionstandard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, respectively.  A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for in a manner similar to the accounting under existing guidance for operating leases today. The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. Topic 842 supersedes the previous leases standard, ASC 840, "Leases". The guidance is effective for the interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2018 (early adoption is permitted). We are currently evaluating the potential effect of the guidance on its consolidated financial statements.(
ASU 2015-11 - Inventory (Topic 330):
In July 2015, the FASB issued guidance on current accounting for inventory measurement. The new guidance requires entities to measure inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is defined by the guidance as the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The guidance is effective for the interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016 (early adoption is permitted). We  do not expect this guidance to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements at the time of adoption of this standard.
ASU 2014-09 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606):
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (Topic 606), effectively replacingwhich will replace existing requirements in U.S. GAAP, including industry-specific requirements, significantly expand the disclosure requirements and provide companies with a single revenue recognition model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 also provides for additional disclosure requirements. The FASB has recently issued several amendments to the new standard, including clarification on accounting for licenses of intellectual property and identifying performance obligations. The amendments include ASU No. 2016-08, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)-Principal versus Agent Considerations", which was issued in March 2016, and clarifies the implementation guidance for principal versus agent considerations in ASU 2014-09, and ASU No. 2016-10, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)-Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing", which was issued in April 2016, and amends the guidance in ASU No. 2014-09 related to identifying performance obligations and accounting for licenses of intellectual property.
The new standard permits adoption either by using (i) a full retrospective approach for all currentperiods presented in the period of adoption or (ii) a modified retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially applying the new standard recognized at the date of initial application and providing certain additional disclosures. While ASU 2014-09 was to be effective for annual periods and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, on July 9, 2015, the FASB approved the deferral of the effective date to periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017.
Accordingly, the Company intends to adopt ASU 2014-09 on January 1, 2018 and continues to deliberate the selection of the transition method. The Company has made progress toward completing the evaluation of the potential changes from adopting the new standard in its financial reporting and disclosures.  The Company expects to predominantly complete the contract evaluation and validate the impact of the accounting and disclosure changes on its business processes, controls and systems during the first half of 2017, design any changes to such business processes, controls and systems by the middle of 2017, and implement the changes over the remainder of 2017.
30

The adoption of the new standard may primarily impact the Company's contracts where revenue is currently recognized using the percentage-of-completion units-of-delivery method, with the possible resulting impact being revenue which may be recognized earlier in the performance period as it incur costs, as opposed to when units are delivered. This change may also impact the Company's balance sheet presentation with a possible decrease in inventories, an increase in contract assets (i.e., unbilled receivables) and a net increase to retained earnings to primarily reflect the impact of converting units-of-delivery contracts to the cost-to-cost method for recognizing revenue and profits.

B.Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
We have historically met our financial requirements primarily through cash generated by operations, funds generated by our public offering in 1985, private placements of our ordinary shares and debt securities, loans from our principal shareholders, short-term loans and credit facilities from banks (most recently Bank Leumi Le-Israel B.M. and the Israeli branch of State Bank of India, or the Banks), research and development grants from the government of Israel and the Israel-U.S. Binational Industrial Research and Development Foundation, investment grants for approved enterprise programs and marketing grants from the government of Israel.
 
We had working capital of $11.1 million as of December 31, 2016 compared with a working capital of $6.5 million at December 31, 2015. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to $1.2 million as of December 31, 2016 compared to $0.7 million as of December 31, 2015. Short-term and long-term bank deposits and restricted bank deposits amounted to $0.32 million as of December 31, 2016 compared to $0.68 million as of December 31, 2015.
As of December 31, 2014,2016, we owed $0.9 million under a bank annual line of credit and $0.69had $0.6 million of secured borrowing with a bank against specific accounts receivable. In addition, the Banks provided $0.5$0.6 million of guarantees on our behalf, mainly to our customers and suppliers in the ordinary course of business. The guarantees are secured by a first priority floating charge on all of our assets and by a fixed charge on our property in Beit She'an, goodwill (intangible assets), unpaid share capital and insurance rights (rights to proceeds on insured assets in the event of loss). Our agreements with the Banks prohibit us from: (i) selling or otherwise transferring any assets except in the ordinary course of business; (ii) placing a lien on our assets without the Banks' consent; or (iii) declaring dividends to our shareholders.
 
We had working capital as of December 31,In April 2014, of $0.035 million compared with a working capital deficit of $0.15 million at December 31, 2013.  Cash and cash equivalents amounted to $1.8 million as of December 31, 2014 compared to $2.1 million as of December 31, 2013.  Short-term and long-term bank deposits and restricted bank deposits amounted to $0.68 million as of December 31, 2014 compared to $1.0 million as of December 31, 2013.
In July 2008, we borrowed $1.5$1.0 million from Faith Content Development Limited, or FCD, a company controlled by Mr. Yeung, who was at the time our controlling shareholder, in order to facilitate further development of our INS technology.  This loan carried interest at LIBOR + 3% payable at the beginning of every quarter.  On August 29, 2012, FCD  agreed to postpone the repayment of $1.5 million of the principal that was due to be repaid, so that 50% of such amount would be paid on December 15, 2012technology and the remaining 50% would be payable on February 15, 2013. In August 2013, FCD agreed to reissue $350,000 of the loan that had been previously repaid by our company in March 2013 and to facilitate an additional short term loan in the amount of up to $1,000,000 to be repaid by December 31, 2013, or the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility provided for interest at 3.5% per annum above the three month LIBOR rate. In September 2013, we borrowed $850,000 under the Credit Facility and the total amount of the loan increased to $1.2 million. As of December 31, 2014, we repaid the amount due under the Credit Facility but not the remaining balance of the original INS loan ($1,150,000). We continue to incur default interest payment on such loan, see also below with respect to the amended standstill agreement.
In October 2010, a $3 million convertible note originally issued to Mr. Yeung in October 2007 (subsequently assigned by him to FCD), was extended to October 2012.  In addition, the expiration date of a warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,578,947 ordinary shares granted to Mr. Yeung at such time was extended to October 2014.  The convertible note bears interest at a rate of six-month LIBOR + 3.5% and is convertible into ordinary shares at a conversion price of $2.09 per share.  The note is secured by a second degree floating charge over all of our assets. From January 2013, the loan bears default increased interest rate of LIBOR + 7.5%. See Item 7B. “Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions - Related Party Transactions.”
30

In September 2011, we entered into a revolving loan agreement with FCD.  The loan was in the principal amount of $1.7 million, bearing interest of three month LIBOR + 2.5% per annum.  The principal and all the unpaid and accrued interest was paid on February 29, 2012 with the proceeds from a new loan from FCD and Mr. Ben Zion Gruber, a shareholder and member of our board of directors. The loan was approved by our Audit Committee and Board of Directors, and the transaction was also approved by our shareholders at an extraordinary meeting of shareholders held in January 2012.  FCD provided $2.7 million and Mr. Ben Zion Gruber provided $300,000.  We used $1.7 million of the loan to repay in full all of the amounts due and payable under the September 2011 loan, as described above.  The remaining portion of the loan was added to our working capital.  The loan bears interest at the rate of the greater of three months LIBOR + 5% per annum, or 7% per annum.  Interest is payable quarterly in arrears and the principal was due on February 28, 2014. In addition, on February 28, 2012, we issued to FCD and to Mr. Ben Zion Gruber warrants to purchase 1,080,000 and 120,000 ordinary shares, respectively, at an exercise price of $2.50 per share.  These warrants have a term of three years.  The second degree floating charge that was granted with respect to the convertible note of 2007 secures this loan as well. As of December 31, 2014, the outstanding balance of this loan was $2.97 million.
In April 2014, we borrowed $1.0 million from FCD for working capital. This loan carried interest at LIBOR + 3.5% payable at the beginning of every quarter and the principal was due on January 31, 2015.
Due to our cash flow and working capital difficulties, we were not able to timely and fully make the repayment of interest and principal amounts to FCD for this loan and previous loans from FCD and Mr. Ben Zion Gruber, our shareholders.director. As a result we were required to pay the default interest on account of all such loans, and all such loans may be accelerated by our lenders.
which were subject to acceleration. However, we have entered into a standstill agreement with our lenders, effective as of February 1, 2013, according to which, except in extraordinary circumstances, no action willwas to be taken to accelerate the loans or to exercise their rights prior to January 31, 2014. On April 2014 and June 2015, the Standstill Agreementstandstill agreement was amended and the forbearance period pursuant to such agreement was extended until January 31, 2015.
On April 16, 2015 following the approval of our shareholders, the standstill agreement was further amended and the termination of the forbearance period has been extended to the earlier of (i) August 31, 2016 or (ii) 30 days after the closing of a potential offering, resulting in the repayment of at least $7.5 million on account of the debt owed to our lenders. See Item 7B “Related Party Transactions” for a description of the potential offering.2016. Pursuant to the recentan amendment of the standstill agreement, as of and after February 1, 2015 the default interest on all outstanding principal amounts iswas Libor + 9%.
 
On July 30, 2015, we completed a public offering of 3,455,284 ordinary shares, offered at a price to the public of $2.46 per share. We received gross proceeds of $8.5 million before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses. Issuance costs amounted to approximately $1.07 million.As of December 31, 2015 the remaining principal amount of the debt owed under the Standstill Agreement was $3.09 million.

On May 15, 2016, our shareholders approved the sale to DBSI of 8,510,638 of our ordinary shares in consideration for approximately $4 million, reflecting a price per share of $0.47. In addition, we issued to DBSI warrants to purchase: (i) an additional 4,255,319 ordinary shares at an exercise price per share of $0.47 (resulting in an aggregate exercise price of $2 million), exercisable for a period of 24 months following the date of the initial investment and (ii) warrants to purchase an additional 3,636,363 shares at an exercise price per share of $0.55 (resulting in an aggregate exercise price of $2 million), exercisable for a period of 48 months following the date of the initial investment.
DBSI also granted the company an option, exercisable by either us or DBSI, for us to obtain a three -year loan in the principal amount of up to $3.175 million solely for the purpose of the repayment of the outstanding shareholders' debt. We exercised such option in June 2016 and used the funds to fully repay our outstanding shareholders' debt.
During the term of the loan which has  a three -year term, DBSI has the right, but not the obligation, at its sole discretion, to convert the then remaining convertible loan amount into ordinary shares at a price per share equal to the lower of: (i) $2.40, or (ii) a five percent (5%) discount to the FMV (the average of the closing prices of our Ordinary Shares over the 5 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day prior to the date of conversion), but in no event less than $0.47. These additional issuances would substantially dilute the ownership interests and voting rights of our shareholders.
In connection with the DBSI transaction, we issued warrants to purchase 255,319 ordinary shares to each of Legos Advisors Ltd. and Mr. Avi Geffen as commission and finder’s fees.
On November 15, 2016, we completed a $2 million directed registered offering of 1,904,762 ordinary shares at a price per share of $1.05 to The Phoenix Insurance Company Ltd. and its affiliate, Shotfut-Menayot-Israel-HaPhoenix Amitim Ltd. At the same time, DBSI invested an additional $1 million in our company through the exercise of 2,127,660 warrants.

On August 29, 2016, DBSI exercised warrants to purchase 531,915 ordinary shares at an exercise price per share of $0.47 resulting in proceeds of $0.25 million to our company,

On January  17, 2017 DBSI exercised warrants to purchase 531,915 ordinary shares at an exercise price per share of $0.47 resulting in proceeds of $0.25 million to our company.

On May 15, 2016, our shareholders approved a NIS 675,000 increase to our share capital. Following the increase, our authorized share capital is NIS 1,125,000 divided into 37,500,000 ordinary shares, par value NIS 0.030 each (as adjusted to reflect the one share for two shares reverse share split effected in September 2016).
On September 13, 2016 we effected a one share for two shares reverse share split in order to meet the minimum market price requirements of the NASDAQ. All historical  share amounts have been  adjusted in this annual report to reflect that reverse split.
We made capital expenditures of $328,000$0.41 million in the year ended December 31, 2014,2016, primarily for machinery and equipment. We currently do not have any significant capital spending or purchase commitments.

C.Research and Development, Patents and Licenses
 
Research and Development
 
Our research and development investments focus on improvements to our existing products and the development of complementary products that would provide continued support for our current customers and would improve our capability to market our products to new customers. In 2014, 20132016, 2015 and 20122014 we incurred $0.8 million, $1.5$0.7 million and $2.4$0.8 million, respectively, of research and development expenses, net. The vast majority of these expenses are attributable to the research ondevelopment of our radars. In 2015,2017, we willintend to continue to invest in the research and development of new products. As of December 31, 2014,2016, we employed 4535 engineers (including 52 sub-contractors) in research and development who concentrate mainly on research and development activities generated through customer orders and to a lesser extent on internal research and development activities.
 
The OCS Israel Innovation Authority ("IIA") encourages research and development by providing grants to Israeli companies, pursuant to the Law for the Encouragement of Industrial Research and Development, 1984, as amended. The terms of such grants prohibit the manufacture of the developed products outside of Israel and the transfer of technologies developed using the grants to any person without the prior written consent of the OCS.IIA. During 2012, 2011 we developed a new radar sensor for APS, partly financed by the OCS.IIA. In 2013 and 2012, we received royalty bearing grants of $15,000 and $142,000, respectively, from the OCS.IIA. Pursuant to applicable Israeli law, we are currently required to pay royalties at the rate of 3-5% of sales of products developed with certain grants received from the OCS,IIA, up to 100% of the amount of such grants, adjusted by the exchange rate with the dollar. As of December 31, 2014,2016, our total obligation for royalty payments, net of royalties paid or accrued was approximately $1.5 million.
32

 
We were committed to pay royalties to the Israel - United States Binational Industrial Research and Development Foundation(BIRD )Foundation (BIRD) at the rate of 5% of the sales proceeds up to 150% of the research and development expenses financed by the foundation. Since the company had stated to BIRD that no revenues were generated from the funded projects, the foundation had agreed no royalties isare due until future revenues, if any.

D.Trend Information
In 2014,2016, our revenues increaseddecreased by approximately 39% compared to our revenues in 2013, and we2015. We expect that in 20152017 our revenues will be similarincrease significantly compared to 2014.   However, our revenues are subject to government budgets, and we cannot provide any assurances that the economic climate will not result in the cancellation or suspension of certain projects or programs. We do not have a significant backlog of orders for delivery subsequent to 2015.2016.
 
Our future revenues will, in great measure, be dependent upon the success of our sales and marketing strategy. We are currently focusing our sales efforts on:
 
·Military Avionics & INS; and
 
·Tactical radar systems for force and border protection solutions.
 
We cannot provide any assurances that we will be successful in meeting our targets in the future.  As a result of the unpredictable business environment in which we operate, we are unable to provide any specific guidance as to sales and profitability trends.  If we are unsuccessful in our sales efforts, it is unlikely that we will be able to achieve profitability in the future and we will require additional capital.capital
 
E.Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We are not a party to any material off-balance sheet arrangements.  In addition, we have no unconsolidated special purpose financing or partnership entities that are likely to create material contingent obligations.

Under the Companies Law regulations, this disclosure is required to be included in the notice of our annual meeting of shareholders each year or in a public document that accompanies such notice, which we furnish to the SEC under cover of a Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K. The Companies Law regulations permit us to refer to a report filed pursuant to the laws of the country in which our shares are listed for trading that includes the required information in lieu of its inclusion in the notice of annual meeting. Because of that disclosure requirement under Israeli law, we are including such information in this annual report, pursuant to the disclosure requirements of Form 20-F.report.
 
The following table includes information for the year ended December 31, 20142016 concerning the five (5) most highly compensated executive officers of our company, or Highly Compensated EO, (the figures below reflect the applicable cost of employment on an annual basis):

OutsideExternal Directors.  The Israeli Companies Law requires publicly held Israeli companies to appoint at least two outsideexternal directors.  The Israeli Companies Law provides that a person may not be appointed as an outsideexternal director if the person, or the person’s relative, partner, employer or an entity under that person’s control, has or had during the two years preceding the date of appointment any affiliation with the company, or any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the company.  The term “relative” means a spouse, sibling, parent, grandparent, child or child of spouse or spouse of any of the above as well as a sibling, brother, sister or parent of the foregoing relatives.  In general, the term “affiliation” includes an employment relationship, a business or professional relationship maintained on a regular basis, control and service as an office holder.  Furthermore, if the company does not have a controlling shareholder or a shareholder holding at least 25% of the voting rights “affiliation” also includes a relationship, at the time of the appointment, with the chairman of the board, the chief executive officer, a substantial shareholder or the most senior financial officer of such company.  Regulations promulgated under the Israeli Companies Law include certain additional relationships that would not be deemed an “affiliation” with a company for the purpose of service as an outsideexternal director.  In addition, no person may serve as an outsideexternal director if the person’s position or other activities create, or may create, a conflict of interest with the person’s responsibilities as director or may otherwise interfere with the person’s ability to serve as director.  If, at the time an outsideexternal director is appointed, all current members of the board of directors are of the same gender, then that outsideexternal director must be of the other gender.  A director of one company may not be appointed as an outsideexternal director of another company if a director of the other company is acting as an outsideexternal director of the first company at such time.
 
At least one of the elected outsideexternal directors must have “accounting and financial expertise” and any other outsideexternal director must have “accounting and financial expertise” or “professional qualification,” as such terms are defined by regulations promulgated under the Israeli Companies Law.  However, Israeli companies listed on certain stock exchanges outside Israel, including the NASDAQ Capital Market, such as our company, are not required to appoint an outsideexternal director with “accounting and financial expertise” if a director with accounting and financial expertise who qualifies as an independent director for purposes of audit committee membership under the laws of the foreign exchange serves on its board of directors.  All of the outsideexternal directors of such a company must have “professional qualification.”
 
The outsideexternal directors are elected by shareholders at a general meeting.  The shareholders voting in favor of their election must include at least a simple majority of the shares voted by shareholders other than controlling shareholders or shareholders who have a personal interest in the election of the outsideexternal director (unless such personal interest is not related to such persons relationship with the controlling shareholder).  This majority requirement will not be required if the total number of shares of such non-controlling shareholders and disinterested shareholders who vote against the election of the outsideexternal director represent 2% or less of the voting rights in the company.
 
41

In general, under the Israeli Companies Law, outsideexternal directors serve for a three-year term and may be reelected to two additional three-year terms, at the nomination of either the board of directors or any shareholder(s) holding at least 1% of the voting rights in the company.  If the board of directors proposed the nominee, the reelection must be approved by the shareholders in the same manner required to appoint outsideexternal directors for an initial term, as described above. If such reelection is proposed by shareholders, such reelection requires the approval of the majority of the shareholders voting on the matter, excluding the votes of any controlling shareholder and other shareholders having a personal interest in the matter as a result of their relationship with the controlling shareholder(s), provided that, the aggregate votes cast by shareholders who are not controlling shareholders and do not have a personal interest in the matter as a result of their relationship with the controlling shareholder(s) who voted in favor of the nominee constitute more than 2% of the voting rights in the company and provided further that, at the time of the appointment, such reelected outsideexternal director is not (i) a related or competitor shareholder, or  (ii) a relative of such related or competitor shareholder or otherwise affiliated with a related or competitor shareholder either at the time of appointment or at any time during the two years period prior to such appointment. A related or competitor shareholder is defined by the Israeli Companies Law as the shareholder that proposed the reelection or a holder of 5% or more of the outstanding share capital of the company, provided that at the time of appointment (i) such shareholders, their controlling shareholder or any entity controlled by either of them has business relations with company, or (ii) such shareholders, their controlling shareholder or any entity controlled by either of them are competitors of the company.  OutsideExternal directors can be removed from office only by the same special percentage of shareholders that can elect them, or by a court order, and then only if the outsideexternal directors cease to meet the statutory qualifications with respect to their appointment or if they violate their fiduciary duty to the company.
38

 
Each committee of the board of directors that is authorized to exercise powers vested in the board of directors must include at least one outsideexternal director and the audit committee and the Compensation Committee must include all the outsideexternal directors.  An outsideexternal director is entitled to compensation as provided in regulations adopted under the Israeli Companies Law and is otherwise prohibited from receiving any other compensation, directly or indirectly, in connection with such service.
 
Independent Directors.  In general, NASDAQ Stock Market Rules require that the board of directors of a NASDAQ-listed company have a majority of independent directors and its audit committee must have at least three members and be comprised only of independent directors, each of whom satisfies the respective "independence" requirements of NASDAQ and the SEC.  However, foreign private issuers, such as our company, may follow certain home country corporate governance practices instead of certain requirements of the NASDAQ Stock Market Rules.  We do not follow the requirement of the NASDAQ Stock Market Rules to maintain a majority of independent directors on our board and instead follow Israeli law and practice (see Item 16G. "Corporate Governance").  However, we have the mandated three independent directors on our audit committee, in accordance with the rules of the SEC and NASDAQ Stock Market.
 
Pursuant to the Israeli Companies Law, a director may be qualified as an independent director if such director is either (i) an outsideexternal director; or (ii) a director that serves as a board member less than nine years and the audit committee has approved that he or she meets the independence requirements of an outsideexternal director. A majority of the members serving on the audit committee and the compensation committee must be independent under the Israeli Companies Law.
 
Our board of directors has determined that Ms. Mor, Mr. Sigal and Mr. Sigal bothDumanis and Mr. Guy Zur qualify as independent directors under the SEC and NASDAQ requirements and as outsideindependent directors under the Israeli Companies Law requirements.  Our board of directors has further determined that Mr. Gruber qualifies as an independent director under the SEC and NASDAQ requirements.
 
We do not follow the requirements of the NASDAQ Stock Market Rules with regard to regularly scheduled meetings of independent directors. Under Israeli law, outsideexternal directors are not required to hold executive sessions. See Item 16G. “"Corporate Governance."
42

Committees of the Board of Directors
 
Audit Committee.  Under the Israeli Companies Law, the board of directors of any public company must establish an audit committee. The audit committee must be comprised of at least three directors, the majority of which must be independent directors. Such independent directors must meet all of the standards required of an outsideexternal director and may not serve as a director for more than consecutive nine years (a cessation of service as a director for up to two years during any nine year period will not be deemed to interrupt the nine year period). The audit committee may not include the chairman of the board of directors; any director employed by the company or providing services to the company on an ongoing basis; a controlling shareholder or any of the controlling shareholder’s relatives; and any director who rendered services to the controlling shareholder or an entity controlled by the controlling shareholder. Any person who is not permitted to be a member of the audit committee may not be present in the meetings of the audit committee unless the chairman of the audit committee determines that such person’s presence is necessary in order to present a specific matter. However, an employee who is not a controlling shareholder or relative of a controlling shareholder may participate in the audit committee’s discussions but not in any vote, and at the request of the audit committee, the secretary of the company and its legal counsel may be present during the meeting. The chairman of the audit committee must be an Outside Director.
39

external director.
 
Under Israeli law, an audit committee may not approve an action or a transaction with a controlling shareholder, or with an office holder, unless at the time of approval two outsideexternal directors are serving as members of the audit committee and at least one of the outsideexternal directors was present at the meeting in which an approval was granted.
 
The role of the audit committee, pursuant to the Israeli Companies Law, includes:
 
·monitoring deficiencies in the management of the company, including in consultation with the independent auditors or the internal auditor, and to advise the board of directors on how to correct such deficiencies. If the audit committee finds a material deficiency, it will hold at least one meeting regarding such material deficiency, with the presence of the internal auditor or the independent auditors but without the presence of the senior management of the company. However, a member of the company’s senior management can participate in the meeting in order to present an issue which is under his or her responsibility;
 
·determining, on the basis of detailed arguments, whether to classify certain engagements or transactions as material or extraordinary, as applicable, and therefore as requiring special approval under the Israeli Companies Law. The audit committee may make such determination according to principles and guidelines predetermined on an annual basis;
 
·determining if transactions (excluding extraordinary transactions) with a controlling shareholder, or in which a controlling shareholder has a personal interest, are required to be rendered pursuant to a competitive procedure;
 
·deciding whether to approve engagements or transactions that require the audit committee approval under the Israeli Companies Law;
 
·determining the approval procedure of non-extraordinary transactions, following classification as such by the audit committee, including whether such specific non-extraordinary transactions require the approval of the audit committee;
 
·examining and approving the annual and periodical working plan of the internal auditor;
 
·overseeing the company’s internal auditing and the performance of the internal auditor; confirm that the internal auditor has sufficient tools and resources at his disposal, taking into account, among other, the special requirements of the company and its size;
 
·examining the scope of work of the independent auditor and its pay, and bringing such recommendations on these issue before the Board; determining the procedure of addressing complaints of employees regarding shortcomings in the management of the company and ensure the protection of employees who have filed such complaints;
 
43

·determining with respect to transactions with the controlling shareholder or in which such controlling shareholder has personal interest, whether such transactions are extraordinary or not, an obligation to conduct competitive process under supervisions of the audit committee or determination that prior to entering into such transactions the company shall conduct other process as the audit committee may deem fit, all taking into account the type of the company. The audit committee my set such qualifications for one year in advance; and
 
·determining the manner of approval of transactions with the controlling shareholder or in which it has personal interest which (i) are not negligible transactions (pursuant to the committee's determination) and (ii) are not qualified by the committee as extraordinary transactions.
40

 
In addition, the NASDAQ Stock Market Rules require us to establish an audit committee comprised of at least three members, all of whom must be financially literate, satisfy the respective "independence" requirements of the SEC and NASDAQ and one of whom must have an accounting or related financial management expertise at senior levels within a company.
 
Pursuant to recent amendment to the Israeli companies Law, effective as of February 2016, an audit committee that complies with the requirements of the Israeli Companies Law may act also as compensation committee. Our board of directors has determined that our audit committee complies with such requirements and therefore, commencing as of May 2016, it shall serve also as compensation committee.
The current members of our audit and compensation committee are Ms. Nurit Mor, and Messrs.Mr. Elan Sigal and Ben Zion Gruber,Dr. Alon Dumanis, each of whom satisfies the "independence" requirements of both the SEC and NASDAQ. We also comply with Israeli law requirements for audit committee members. The audit committee meets at least once each quarter.
 
Compensation Committee. Effective December 2012, under an amendment to the Companies Law, ourOur Board of Directors is required to appoint a compensation committee, whose role is to: (i) recommend to the board on a compensation policy for office holders and to recommend to the board, once every three years, on the approval of the continued validity of the compensation policy that was determined for a period exceeding three years; (ii) recommend an update the compensation policy from time to time and to examine its implementation; (iii) determine whether to approve the Terms of Service and Employment of Office Holders that require the committee’s approval; and (iv) exempt a transaction from the requirement for shareholders’ approval.  The compensation committee also has oversight authority over the actual terms of employment of directors and officers and may make recommendations to the board of directors and the shareholders (where applicable) with respect to deviation from the compensation policy that was adopted by the company.  Under Israeli law, our compensation committee willmust consist of no less than three members, including all of our outsideexternal directors (who must constitute a majority of its members of the committee), and that the remainder of the members of the compensation committee must be directors whose terms of service and employment were determined pursuant to the applicable regulations.  The amendment imposes the same restrictions on the actions and membership in the audit committee apply to the compensation committee as are discussed above under “Audit Committee” with respect to, among other things, the requirement that an outsideexternal director serve as the chairman of the committee and the list of persons who may not serve on the committee. Our board of directors established a compensation committee composed of Ms. Nurit Mor, Mr. Elan Sigal and Mr. Ben-Zion Gruber.Dr. Alon Dumanis. In August 2016, our shareholders approved an updated compensation policy for an additional period of three years.
Business Development Committee.  In November 2016, our Board of Directors established a Business Development Committee whose role is to review and make recommendations to the Board of Directors with respect to business development strategies, plans and targets. The Business Development Committee is composed of Messrs. Yossi Ben Shalom, Israel Livnat, Alon Dumanis, Elan Sigal and Dov Sella.
 
Internal Audit
 
The Israeli Companies Law also requires the board of directors of a publicly held company to appoint an internal auditor nominated by the audit committee. An internal audit must satisfy the Israeli Companies Law's independence requirements.  The role of the internal auditor is to examine, among other things, the compliance of the company's conduct with applicable law and orderly business practice.  Under the Companies Law, the internal auditor may not be an interested party or an office holder, or a relative of any of the foregoing, nor may the internal auditor be the company's independent accountant or its representative.  Our internal auditor complies with the requirements of the Israeli Companies Law.
 
44

Directors' Service Contracts
 
We do not have any service contracts with our directors.  However, all of our directors receive directors fees that are equal to those paid to our External Directors.  There are no arrangements or understandings between us and any of our subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any of our directors, on the other hand, providing for benefits upon termination of their employment or service as directors of our company or any of our subsidiaries.
 
Approval of Related Party Transactions under Israeli Law
 
Fiduciary Duties of Office Holders
 
The Israeli Companies Law codifies the fiduciary duties that “office holders,” including directors and executive officers, owe to a company. An “office holder” is defined in the Israeli Companies Law as a director, general manager, chief business manager, deputy general manager, vice general manager, other manager directly subordinate to the general manager or any other person assuming the responsibilities of any of the foregoing positions without regard to such person’s title. An office holder’s fiduciary duties consist of a duty of care and a fiduciary duty. The duty of care requires an office holder to act at a level of care that a reasonable office holder in the same position would employ under the same circumstances. This includes the duty to utilize reasonable means to obtain (i) information regarding the appropriateness of a given action brought for his approval or performed by him by virtue of his position and (ii) all other information of importance pertaining to the foregoing actions. The fiduciary duty includes (i) avoiding any conflict of interest between the office holder’s position in the company and any other position he holds or his personal affairs, (ii) avoiding any competition with the company’s business, (iii) avoiding exploiting any business opportunity of the company in order to receive personal gain for the office holder or others, and (iv) disclosing to the company any information or documents relating to the company’s affairs that the office holder has received due to his position as an office holder.
41

 
Disclosure of Personal Interests of an Office Holder; Approval of Transactions with Office Holders
 
The Israeli Companies Law requires that an office holder promptly and no later than the first board meeting at which such transaction is considered, disclose any personal interest that he or she may have and all related material information known to him or her and any documents in their position, in connection with any existing or proposed transaction by us. In addition, if the transaction is an extraordinary transaction, that is, a transaction other than in the ordinary course of business, other than on market terms, or likely to have a material impact on the company’s profitability, assets or liabilities, the office holder must also disclose any personal interest held by the office holder’s spouse, siblings, parents, grandparents, descendants, spouse’s descendants and the spouses of any of the foregoing, or by any corporation in which the office holder or a relative is a 5% or greater shareholder, director or general manager or in which he or she has the right to appoint at least one director or the general manager.
 
Some transactions, actions and arrangements involving an office holder (or a third party in which an office holder has an interest) must be approved by the board of directors or as otherwise provided for in a company’s articles of association, however, a transaction that is adverse to the company’s interest may not be approved. In some cases, such a transaction must be approved by the audit committee and by the board of directors itself, and under certain circumstances shareholder approval may also be required. A director who has a personal interest in a transaction that is considered at a meeting of the board of directors or the audit committee may not be present during the board of directors or audit committee discussions and may not vote on the transaction, unless the transaction is not an extraordinary transaction or the majority of the members of the board or the audit committee have a personal interest, as the case may be. In the event the majority of the members of the board of directors or the audit committee have a personal interest, then the approval of the general meeting of shareholders is also required.
 
45

Approval of a Compensation Policy for Office Holders
 
The Israeli Companies Law and the regulations adopted thereunder require the compensation committee to adopt a policy for director and office holders.  In adopting the compensation policy, the compensation committee must take into account factors such as the office holder’s education, experience, past compensation arrangements with the company, and the proportional difference between the person’s cost of compensation and the average cost of compensation of the company’s employees.
 
The compensation policy must be approved at least once every three years at the company’s general meeting of shareholders, and is subject to the approval of a majority vote of the votes of the shareholders present and voting at a shareholders’ meeting, provided that either: (i) such majority includes at least a majority of the votes of  all shareholders who are not controlling shareholders and do not have a personal interest in the approval of the compensation policy, present and voting at such meeting (excluding abstentions); or (ii) the total number of ordinary shares of non-controlling shareholders and shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the approval of the compensation policy,  voting against the resolution does not exceed 2% of the aggregate voting rights in the company.
 
The Board may approve the compensation policy even if such policy was not approved by the shareholders, provided that the compensation committee and the board of directors resolve, based on detailed consideration of the compensation policy that approval of the policy, is in the best interest of the company, despite the fact that it was not approved at the shareholders’ meeting.
42

 
The compensation policy shall serve as the basis for decisions concerning the financial terms of employment or engagement of officer holders, including exculpation, insurance, indemnification or any monetary payment or obligation of payment in respect of employment or engagement. The compensation policy must relate to certain factors, including advancement of the company’s objectives, the company’s business and its long-term strategy, and creation of appropriate incentives for executives. It must also consider, among other things, the company’s risk management, size and the nature of its operations. The compensation committee must also consider among others, the ratio between the cost of terms offered to the relevant director or office holder and the average  and median cost of compensation of the other employees of the company, including those employed through manpower companies, the effect of disparities in salary upon work relationships in the company, the possibility of reducing variable compensation at the discretion of the board of directors; the possibility of setting a limit on the exercise value of non-cash variable compensation; and as to severance compensation (in excess of those promulgated by applicable labor law), the period of service of the director or office holder, the terms of his or her compensation during such service period, the company’s performance during that period of service, the person’s contribution towards the company’s achievement of its goals and the maximization of its profits, and the circumstances under which the person is leaving the company.
 
The compensation policy must also include the link between variable compensation and long-term performance and measurable criteria, the relationship between variable and fixed compensation, and the upper limit for the value of variable compensation, the conditions under which a director or an office holder would be required to repay compensation paid to him or her if it was later shown that the data upon which such compensation was based was inaccurate and was required to be restated in the company’s financial statements, the minimum holding or vesting period for variable, equity-based compensation whilst referring to appropriate a long-term perspective based incentives; and maximum limits for severance compensation.
 
Once a compensation policy is properly adopted, the Israeli Companies Law requires the compensation policy to be approved by the company’s compensation committee, with subsequent approval of the board of directors. In addition, compensation of the directors and the chief executive officer is also subject to the approval of the shareholders at a general meeting. The approval of the compensation of the chief executive officer that complies with the compensation policy is subject to the same majority requirements as the approval of a transaction between a company and its controlling shareholder.  Where the director is also a controlling shareholder, the requirements for approval of transactions with controlling shareholders apply.  The terms of employment of the company’s directors and executive officers must satisfy the requirements of the compensation policy in respect of matters relating to compensation. Any deviations from the compensation policy in respect of the compensation of the office holders require the approval of the compensation committee, the board of directors and the shareholders. If the deviation is with respect to the compensation of the chief executive office then such approval must be made by the majority of the shareholders provided that such majority includes the majority of the votes of the non-controlling shareholder and other shareholders who have personal interest in the proposal (unless such personal interest is not related to the controlling shareholder) present and voting (excluding abstention). Such special majority is not required if the number of votes of the non-controlling shareholders and shareholder who do not have personal interest in the proposal as aforesaid is lower than 2% of the aggregate voting rights in the company.
 
46

Under the Israeli Companies Law, all arrangements as to compensation of office holders who are not directors require the approval of the compensation committee prior and in addition to the approval of the board of directors.  However, if the company duly adopts a compensation plan for its office holders, the approval of the board of directors is not required if the new arrangement only modifies an existing arrangement and the compensation committee determines that such modification is not material.  Generally, the compensation of the CEO must be approved by the compensation committee, the board and of directors and by the majority of the shareholders provided that either: (i) such majority includes a majority of the total votes of shareholders who are not controlling shareholders and do not have a Personal Interest in the approval of the compensation policy and who participate in the voting, in person, by proxy or by written ballot, at the meeting (abstentions not taken into account); or (ii) the total number of votes of shareholders mentioned in (i) above that are voted against the approval of the compensation policy do not represent more than 2% of the total voting rights in the company.company.  The compensation of office holders who are directors must be approved by the compensation committee, board of directors and simple majority vote of the shareholders.
 
43

Outside DirectorsExternal directors of the company are prohibited from receiving, directly or indirectly, any compensation from the company, other than for their services as Outside Directorsexternal directors pursuant to the provisions and limitations set forth in regulations promulgated under the Israeli Companies Law, which compensation is determined prior to their appointment and may not be changed throughout the term of their service as Outside Directorsexternal directors (except for certain exceptions set forth in such regulations).
 
Disclosure of Personal Interests of a Controlling Shareholder; Approval of Transactions with Controlling Shareholders
 
Pursuant to the Israeli Companies Law, the disclosure requirements regarding personal interests that apply to directors and executive officers also apply to a controlling shareholder of a public company. A controlling shareholder is a shareholder who has the ability to direct the activities of a company, but excludes a shareholder whose power derives solely from its position on the board of directors or any other position at the company. A person is presumed to be a “controlling shareholder” if it holds or controls, by itself or together with others, one half or more of any one of the “Means of Control” of the company. “Means of Control” is defined as any one of the following: (i) the right to vote at a General Meeting of the company, or (ii) the right to appoint directors of the company or its chief executive officer. For the purpose of related party translations, under the Israeli Companies Law, a controlling shareholder is also a shareholder who holds 25% or more of the voting rights if no other shareholder who holds more than 50% of the voting rights. For this purpose, the holdings of all shareholders who have a personal interest in the same transaction will be aggregated. As of Admission, the company does not have a controlling shareholder.
 
Certain shareholders also have a duty of fairness toward the company. These shareholders include any controlling shareholder, together with any shareholder who knows that it has the power to determine the outcome of a shareholder vote and any shareholder who has the power to appoint or to prevent the appointment of an office holder of the company or exercise any other rights available to it under the company’s articles of association with respect to the company. The Israeli Companies Law does not define the substance of this duty of fairness, except to state that the remedies generally available upon a breach of contract will also apply in the event of a breach of the duty of fairness.
 
An extraordinary transaction between a public company and a controlling shareholder, or in which a controlling shareholder has a personal interest, including a private placement in which the controlling shareholder has a personal interest, and the terms of engagement of the company, directly or indirectly, with a controlling shareholder or a controlling shareholder’s relative (including through a corporation controlled by a controlling shareholder), regarding the company’s receipt of services from the controlling shareholder, and if such controlling shareholder is also an office holder of the company, regarding his or her terms of employment, require the approval of a company’s audit committee (or compensation committee with respect to compensation arrangements), board of directors and shareholders, in that order. Such transaction must be elected by a majority vote of the Ordinary Shares present and voting at a shareholders’ meeting, provided that either: (i) such majority includes at least a majority of votes held by all shareholders who do not have a personal interest in such transaction, present and voting at such meeting (excluding abstentions); or (ii) the total number of votes of shareholders who do not have a personal interest in such transaction voting against the approval of the transaction, does not exceed 2% of the aggregate voting rights in the company.
 
47

Pursuant to the Israeli Companies Law, the audit committee of the company should determine in connection with such transaction if it requires rendering pursuant to a competitive procedure or pursuant to other proceedings. See "Audit Committee" above.
44

 
To the extent that any such transaction with a controlling shareholder or his relative is for a period extending beyond three years, shareholder approval is required once every three years, unless, in respect to certain transactions, the audit committee determines that the longer duration of the transaction is reasonable under the circumstances.
 
Pursuant to regulations promulgated pursuant to the Israeli Companies Law, a transaction with a controlling shareholder that would otherwise require approval of the shareholders is exempt from shareholders’ approval if each of the audit committee and the board of directors determine that the transaction meets certain criteria that are set out in specific regulations promulgated under the Israeli Companies Law. Under these regulations, a shareholder holding at least 1% of the issued share capital of the company may require, within 14 days of the publication of such determination, that despite such determination by the audit committee and the board of directors, such transaction will require shareholder approval under the same majority requirements that otherwise apply to such transactions.
 
The Israeli Companies Law provides that an acquisition of shares in a public company must be made by means of a tender offer if as a result of the acquisition the purchaser would become a 25% or greater shareholder of the company. This rule does not apply if there is already another 25% or greater shareholder of the company. Similarly, the Israeli Companies Law provides that an acquisition of shares in a public company must be made by means of a tender offer if as a result of the acquisition the purchaser would hold greater than a 45% interest in the company, unless there is another shareholder holding more than a 45% interest in the company. These requirements do not apply if, in general, (i) the acquisition was made in a private placement that received shareholder approval, (ii) was from a 25% or greater shareholder of the company which resulted in the acquirer becoming a 25% or greater shareholder of the company, if there is not already a 25% or greater shareholder of the company, or (iii) was from a shareholder holding a 45% interest in the company which resulted in the acquirer becoming a holder of a 45% interest in the company if there is not already a 45% or greater shareholder of the company.
 
If, as a result of an acquisition of shares, the acquirer will hold more than 90% of a public company’s outstanding shares or a class of shares, the acquisition must be made by means of a tender offer for all of the outstanding shares or a class of shares. If less than 5% of the outstanding shares are not tendered in the tender offer, all the shares that the acquirer offered to purchase will be transferred to the acquirer.  If more than 5% of the outstanding shares are not tendered in the tender offer, then the acquirer may not acquire shares in the tender offer that will cause his shareholding to exceed 90% of the outstanding shares.  The Israeli Companies Law provides for appraisal rights if any shareholder files a request in court within six months following the consummation of a full tender offer.  However, in the event of a full tender offer, the offeror may determine that any shareholder who accepts the offer will not be entitled to appraisal rights.  Such determination will be effective only if the offeror or the company has timely published all the information that is required to be published in connection with such full tender offer pursuant to all applicable laws.
 
48

Exculpation, Indemnification and Insurance of Directors and Officers
 
Exculpation of Office Holders
 
The Israeli Companies Law provides that an Israeli company cannot exculpate an office holder from liability with respect to a breach of his or her duty of loyalty.  If permitted by its articles of association, a company may exculpate in advance an office holder from his or her liability to the company, in whole or in part, with respect to a breach of his or her duty of care.  However, a company may not exculpate in advance a director from his or her liability to the company with respect to a breach of his duty of care in the event of distributions.
 
Insurance of Office Holders
 
The Israeli Companies Law provides that a company may, if permitted by its articles of association, enter into a contract to insure office holders in respect of liabilities incurred by the office holder with a respect to an act performed in his or her capacity as an office holder, as a result of:
 
·a breach of the office holder's duty of care to the company or to another person;
 
45

·a breach of the office holder's duty of loyalty to the company, provided that the office holder acted in good faith and had reasonable cause to assume that his or her act would not prejudice the company's interests; or
 
·a financial liability imposed upon the office holder in favor of another person.
 
Indemnification of Office Holders
 
The Israeli Companies Law provides that a company may, if permitted by its articles of association, indemnify an office holder for acts or omissions performed by the office holder in such capacity for:
 
·a monetary liability imposed on the office holder in favor of another person by any judgment, including a settlement or an arbitrator's award approved by a court;
 
·reasonable litigation expenses, including attorney's fees, actually incurred by the office holder as a result of an investigation or proceeding instituted against him or her by a competent authority, provided that such investigation or proceeding concluded without the filing of an indictment against the office holder or the imposition of any monetary liability in lieu of criminal proceedings, or concluded without the filing of an indictment against the office holder and a monetary liability was imposed on the officer holder in lieu of criminal proceedings with respect to a criminal offense that does not require proof of criminal intent; and
 
·reasonable litigation expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred by the office holder or which were imposed on him or her by a court, in an action instituted by the company or on the company's behalf or by another person, against the office holder, or in a criminal charge from which he was acquitted, or in a criminal proceeding in which the office holder was convicted of a criminal offense which does not require proof of criminal intent.
 
In accordance with the Israeli Companies Law, a company's articles of association may permit the company to:
 
·prospectively undertake to indemnify an office holder, except that with respect to a monetary liability imposed on the office holder by any judgment, settlement or court-approved arbitration award, the undertaking must be limited to types of events which the company's board of directors deems foreseeable considering the company's actual operations at the time of the undertaking, and to an amount or standard that the board of directors has determined as reasonable under the circumstances.
 
49

·retroactively indemnify an office holder of the company.
 
Limitations on Exculpation, Insurance and Indemnification
 
The Israeli Companies Law provides that neither a provision of the articles of association permitting the company to enter into a contract to insure the liability of an office holder, nor a provision in the articles of association or a resolution of the board of directors permitting the indemnification of an office holder, nor a provision in the articles of association exculpating an office holder from duty to the company shall be valid, where such insurance, indemnification or exculpation relates to any of the following:

Certain provisions of the collective bargaining agreements between the General Federation of Labor in Israel (Histadrut) and the Coordination Bureau of Economic Organizations (including the Industrialists Association) are applicable to our Israeli employees by order of the Israeli Ministry of Industry, TradeEconomy and Labor.Industry. These provisions primarily concern the length of the workday, minimum daily wages for professional workers, contributions to a pension fund, insurance for work-related accidents, procedures for dismissing employees, determination of severance pay and other conditions of employment.

Israeli law generally requires severance pay upon the retirement or death of an employee or termination of employment without due cause. Further, Israeli employees and employers are required to pay predetermined sums to the National Insurance Institute; such amounts also include payments for national health insurance. Most of our ongoing severance obligations for our Israeli employees are provided for by monthly payments made by us for insurance policies to cover these obligations.

These additional issuances would substantially dilute the ownership interests and voting rights of our shareholders.
On November 15, 2016, DBSI invested an additional $1 million in our company through the exercise of 2,127,660 warrants. This exercise of warrants is part of DBSI’s right, described above, to purchase up to 4,255,319 ordinary shares at an exercise price of $0.470 per share, that may be exercised within 24 months following the date of the initial investment.
Form F-3 Registration Statement
Pursuant to the outline, we intend to offer new ordinary shares in potential offering of approximately US$ 13 million. Under the negotiated terms, the lenders will have the right to participate in such offering on the same terms as the underwriter or placement agent will establish for such offering.
The net proceeds of such offering, if successful, will be used as follows: (i) the payment of an agreed amount of $100,000 to FCD on account of expenses incurred by FCD in the course of our negotiations, including the fees and expenses of its financial and legal advisers and for fees and expenses to be incurred in connection with the independent valuation of our company and negotiation and documentation of the restructuring process, or the FCD Expenses; (ii)  repayment of the accrued interest associated with the debt  owed to it (including withholding taxes), and thereafter the principal of the debt (pari passu to FCD and Mr. Gruber); and (iii) the remainder for working capital for our company.
In the event the lenders agree to participate in the offering to an extent that would result in the offering not being deemed to be a “public offering” under the federal securities laws, the Lenders will have the right to subscribe for the shares that were to be offered in the potential offering in a private placement, or the Private Placement. The net proceeds of such Private Placement will be used in the same manner as described above.

       In the event that by September 30, 2015 neither the offering or the Private Placement is completed, or if the net proceeds of the offering or the Private Placement are insufficient to repay the debt in full, the lenders will, on a pro rata basis be entitled to convert some or all of the remaining debt, at such time and from time to time into our ordinary shares, or the Conversion.

On February 1, 2000, the Israeli Companies Law came into effect and superseded most of the provisions of the Israeli Companies Ordinance (New Version), 5743-1983, except for certain provisions which relate to liens, bankruptcy, dissolution and liquidation of companies. Under the Israeli Companies Law, as recently amended, various provisions, some of which are detailed below, overrule the current provisions of our articles of association.

See Item 8A. "Financial Information – Consolidated and Other Financial Information – Dividend Distribution Policy." If after one year a dividend has been declared and it is still unclaimed, the board of directors is entitled to invest or utilize the unclaimed amount of dividend in any manner to our benefit until it is claimed. We are not obligated to pay interest or linkage differentials on an unclaimed dividend.
 
Voting rights. Holders of ordinary shares have one vote for each ordinary share held on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders.

Limitations on the Rights to Own Securities in Our Company
 
Neither our memorandum of association or our articles of association nor the laws of the State of Israel restrict in any way the ownership or voting of shares by non-residents, except with respect to subjects of countries which are in a state of war with Israel.
 
Provisions Restricting Change in Control of Our Company
 
The Israeli Companies Law requires that mergers between Israeli companies be approved by the board of directors and general meeting of shareholders of both parties to the transaction.  The approval of the board of directors of both companies is subject to such board's confirmation that there is no reasonable doubt that after the merger the surviving company will be able to fulfill its obligations towards its creditors.  Each company must notify its creditors about the contemplated merger.  Generally, under the Israeli Companies Law, our articles of association are deemed to include a requirement that such merger be approved by a special resolution of the shareholders, as explained above.  The approval of the merger by the general meetings of shareholders of the companies is also subject to additional approval requirements as specified in the Israeli Companies Law and regulations promulgated thereunder.  For purposes of the shareholders' approval, the merger shall not be deemed as granted, unless the court determines otherwise, if it is not supported by the majority of the shares represented at the general meeting, other than those shares that are held by the other party to the merger or by any shareholder holding 25% or more of the outstanding share capital of the company or the right to appoint 25% or more of the members of the board of directors.  The Israeli Companies Law also provides that an acquisition of shares of a public company must be made by means of a special tender offer if as a result of the acquisition the purchaser would become a 25% or greater shareholder of the company and there is no existing 25% or greater shareholder in the company.  An acquisition of shares of a public company must also be made by means of a tender offer if as a result of the acquisition the purchaser would become a 45% or greater shareholder of the company and there is no existing 45% or greater shareholder in the company.  These requirements do not apply if the acquisition (i) was made through a private placement that received shareholder approval, (ii) was from a 25% shareholder of the company and resulted in the acquirer becoming a 25% shareholder of the company or (iii) was from a 45% shareholder of the company and resulted in the acquirer becoming a 45% shareholder of the company.  The special tender offer must be extended to all shareholders but, the offer may include explicit limitations allowing the offeror not to purchase shares representing more than 5% of the voting power attached to the company's outstanding shares, regardless of how many shares are tendered by shareholders.  The special tender offer may be effected only if (i) at least 5% of the voting power attached to the company's outstanding shares will be acquired by the offeror and (ii) the number of shares tendered in the offer exceeds the number of shares whose holders objected to the offer.
 
56

If, as a result of an acquisition of shares, the acquirer will hold more than 90% of the outstanding shares, the acquisition must be made by means of a tender offer for the entire outstanding shares.  In such event, if less than 5% of the outstanding shares are not tendered in the tender offer, all the shares of the company will be deemed as tendered and sold.  However, if more than 5% of the outstanding shares are not tendered in the tender offer, then the acquirer may not acquire any shares at all.  The law provides for appraisal allowing any shareholder to file a motion to the court within six months following the consummation of a full tender offer. However, in the event of a full tender offer, the offeror may determine that any shareholder who accepts the offer will not be entitled to appraisal rights.  Such determination will be effective only if the offeror or the company has timely published all the information that is required to be published in connection with such full tender offer pursuant to all applicable laws.
 
In addition, the purchase of 25% or more of the outstanding share capital of a company or the purchase of substantial assets of a company requires, under certain conditions the approval of the Restrictive Practices Authority.  Furthermore if the target company has received tax incentives of grants from the OCS,Innovation Authority, changes in ownership may require also the approval of the tax authorities or the OCS,Innovation Authority, as applicable.

Disclosure of Shareholders Ownership
 
The Israeli Securities Law and regulations promulgated thereunder do not require a company whose shares are publicly traded solely in a stock exchange outside of Israel, as in the case of our company, to disclose its share ownership.
 
Changes in Our Capital
 
Changes in our capital are subject to the approval of the shareholders at a general meeting by a specialsimple majority of 75% of the votes of shareholders participating and voting in the general meeting.
 
C. Material Contracts
 
We do not deem any individual contract to be a material contract which is not in the ordinary course of our business.
 
D.Exchange Controls
 
Israeli law and regulations do not impose any material foreign exchange restrictions on non-Israeli holders of our ordinary shares.
 
Non-residents of Israel who purchase our ordinary shares will be able to convert dividends, if any, thereon, and any amounts payable upon our dissolution, liquidation or winding up, as well as the proceeds of any sale in Israel of our ordinary shares to an Israeli resident, into freely repairable dollars, at the exchange rate prevailing at the time of conversion, provided that the Israeli income tax has been withheld (or paid) with respect to such amounts or an exemption has been obtained.
 
E.Taxation
 
The following is a discussion of Israeli and United States tax consequences material to us and our shareholders. To the extent that the discussion is based on new tax legislation which has not been subject to judicial or administrative interpretation, the views expressed in the discussion might not be accepted by the tax authorities in question. The discussion is not intended, and should not be construed, as legal or professional tax advice and does not exhaust all possible tax considerations.
 
Holders of our ordinary shares should consult their own tax advisors as to the United States, Israeli or other tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of ordinary shares, including, in particular, the effect of any foreign, state or local taxes.
57

 
Israeli Tax Considerations
 
The following is a summary of the current tax structure applicable to companies in Israel, with special reference to its effect on us. The following also contains a discussion of the material Israeli tax consequences to purchasers of our ordinary shares and Israeli government programs benefiting us. This summary does not discuss all the aspects of Israeli tax law that may be relevant to a particular investor in light of his or her personal investment circumstances or to some types of investors subject to special treatment under Israeli law. Examples of this kind of investor include residents of Israel or traders in securities who are subject to special tax regimes not covered in this discussion. Since some parts of this discussion are based on new tax legislation that has not yet been subject to judicial or administrative interpretation, we cannot assure you that the appropriate tax authorities or the courts will accept the views expressed in this discussion.
 
General Corporate Tax Rate
 
The Israeli corporate tax rate was 24% in 2011, 25% in 2012 and 25% in 2013 and 26.5% in 2014 and 2015. The corporate tax rate is expected to be at 26.5% in 2015 and thereafter.  In view of this increase inEffective January 1, 2016, the corporate tax rate was reduced to 25% in 2012,2016. In December 2016, the realIsraeli Parliament approved a measure whereby the corporate tax rate would be reduced in two stages from 25% to 23%, starting with a corporate income tax rate of 24% beginning January 2017 which is to be reduced to 23% beginning January 2018.
61

Israeli companies are generally subject to capital gains tax rate and the real betterment tax rate were also increased accordingly.  Capital gains derived after January 1, 2003(the gains derived from the sale of listed securities that are taxed at the prevailing corporate tax rates) are subject to tax at a rate of 25 %, and 26.5% in 2014 and onwards.rate.
 
Law for the Encouragement of Industry (Taxes), 1969
 
The Law for the Encouragement of Industry (Taxes), 1969, generally referred to as the Industry Encouragement Law, provides several tax benefits for industrial companies. We believe that we currently qualify as an "Industrial Company" within the meaning of the Industry Encouragement Law. The Industry Encouragement Law defines "Industrial Company" as a company resident in Israel, of which 90% or more of its income (determined in Israeli currency) in any tax year, other than of income from defense loans, capital gains, interest and dividend,with some exceptions, is derived from an "Industrial Enterprise" owned by it. An "Industrial Enterprise" is defined as an enterprise whose major activity in a given tax year is industrial production activity.
 
The Israeli Parliament on December 22, 2016, approved the Israeli Budgetary Law for 2017 and 2018, or the Budget Law. The Budget Law reduces the regular corporate tax rate from 25% to 24% in 2017 and 23% in 2018. The Budget Law also introduces two new tax incentive regimes for companies with qualifying operations under the Investment Law in addition to several changes to the current tax incentive regimes.
The following corporate tax benefits, among others, are available to Industrial Companies:
 
·Amortization of the cost of purchased know-howknow‑how and patents and/or right to use a patent and know-how which are used for the development or advancement of the company, over an eight-year period;
 
·Accelerated depreciation rates on equipment and buildings;
 
·Under specified conditions, an election to file consolidated tax returns with additional related Israeli Industrial Companies; and
 
·Expenses related to a public offering are deductible in equal amounts over three years.
 
Eligibility for the benefits under the Industry Encouragement Law is not subject to receipt of prior approval from any governmental authority. We cannot assure that we qualify or will continue to qualify as an "Industrial Company" or that the benefits described above will be available in the future.
 
Capital Gains Tax on Sales of Our Ordinary Shares
 
Capital gains tax is imposed on the disposal of capital assets by an Israeli resident and on the disposal of such assets by a non-Israeli resident if those assets are either (i) located in Israel; (ii) shares or rights to shares in an Israeli resident company, or (iii) represent, directly or indirectly, rights to assets located in Israel. The Israeli Income Tax Ordinance distinguishes between “Real Capital Gain” and “Inflationary Surplus.” The Real Capital Gain on the disposition of a capital asset is the amount of total capital gain in excess of Inflationary Surplus. Inflationary Surplus is computed, generally, on the basis of the increase in the Israeli Consumer Price Index between the date of purchase and the date of disposal of the capital asset.
 
58

Under income tax regulations shareholders that are not Israeli residents are generally exempt from Israeli capital gains tax on any gains derived from the sale, exchange or disposition of our ordinary shares, provided that: (1) the securities were purchased upon or after the registration of the securities on a stock exchange (this requirement generally does not apply to shares purchased on or after January 1, 2009); (2) the seller of the securities does not have a permanent establishment in Israel to which the generated capital gain is attributed; and (3) such gains did not derive from a permanent establishment or business activity of such shareholders in Israel. However, non-Israeli corporations will not be entitled to the foregoing exemptions if an Israeli resident (i) has a controlling interest of 25% or more in such non-Israeli corporation, or (ii) is the beneficiary of or is entitled to 25% or more of the revenues or profits of such non-Israeli corporation, whether directly or indirectly.
 
62

Under the U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty, the sale, exchange or disposition of our ordinary shares by a shareholder who is a U.S. resident (for purposes of the U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty) holding the ordinary shares as a capital asset is exempt from Israeli capital gains tax unless either (i) the shareholder holds, directly or indirectly, shares representing 10% or more of our voting capital during any part of the 12-month12‑month period preceding such sale, exchange or disposition, (ii) ) or the seller, if an individual, has been present in Israel for more than 183 days (in the aggregate) during the taxable year, or (iii) the capital gains arising from such sale are attributable to a permanent establishment of the shareholder located in Israel. However, under the U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty, U.S. Residents would be permitted to claim a credit for such taxes against the U.S. federal income tax imposed with respect to such sale, exchange or disposition, subject to limitations in U.S. laws applicable to foreign tax credits. The treaty does not relate to U.S. state or local taxes.
 
Individual and corporate shareholders dealing in securities in Israel are taxed at the tax rates applicable to business income (a tax rate of 24% for a corporation in 2011, 25% in 2012 and 2013 and 26.5% in 2014 and 2015 and 25% in 2016 and thereafter) and a marginal tax rate of up to 45% for an individual in 2011, 48% in 2012 and 50% in 2013 and thereafter. In 2014, an additional tax liability of 2% was added to the applicable tax rate on the annual taxable income of individuals (whether any such individual is an Israeli resident or non-Israeli resident) exceeding NIS 811,560810,720 ($208,681)207,770)

Non-residents of Israel are generally subject to Israeli income tax on the receipt of dividends paid on our ordinary shares at the rate of 25%, which tax will be withheld at source, unless a different rate is provided in a treaty between Israel and the shareholder's country of residence. With respect to a substantial shareholder, the applicable tax rate is at 30% Under the U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty, the maximum rate of tax withheld in Israel on dividends paid to a holder of our ordinary shares who is a U.S. resident (for purposes of the U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty) is 25%. However, generally, the maximum rate of withholding tax on dividends, not generated by our Approved Enterprise, that are paid to a U.S. corporation holding 10% or more of our outstanding voting capital throughout the tax year in which the dividend is distributed as well as the previous tax year, is 12.5%.
 
A non-resident of Israel who receives dividends from which tax was withheld is generally exempt from the duty to file returns in Israel in respect of such income; provided such income was not derived from a business conducted in Israel by the taxpayer, and the taxpayer has no other taxable sources of income in Israel.
 
Foreign Exchange Regulations
 
Dividends (if any) paid to the holders of our ordinary shares, and any amounts payable with respect to our ordinary shares upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up, as well as the proceeds of any sale in Israel of the ordinary shares to an Israeli resident, may be paid in non-Israeli currency or, if paid in Israeli currency, may be converted into freely reparable U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange prevailing at the time of conversion, however, Israeli income tax is required to have been paid or withheld on these amounts.

Controlled Foreign Corporation
 
In general, and subject to the provisions of all relevant legislation, an Israeli resident who holds, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the rights in a foreign corporation whose shares are not publicly traded, in which more than 50% of the rights are held directly or indirectly by Israeli residents, and a majority of whose income in a tax year is considered passive income (generally referred to as a Controlled Foreign Corporation, or CFC), is liable for tax on the portion of his income attributed to holdings in such corporation, as if such income was distributed to him as a dividend.

Share Allocations to controlling shareholders
 
Controlling shareholders will be taxable under section 3(i) to the Tax Ordinance, according to which, the grantee pays income tax rate (according to the marginal tax rate of the grantee- up to 48% in 2012) on the profit upon the sale of the underlying shares. As of January 1, 2013 the marginal tax rate (48%) of an individual will increase in 2% in case his taxable income in a tax year exceed the amount of NIS 800,000810,720 (including capital gains from marketable securities, dividends and interest income).

If a partnership or an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes owns our ordinary shares, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in such a partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A partnership that owns our ordinary shares and the partners in such partnership should consult their tax advisors about the U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding and disposing of ordinary shares.

Unless otherwise indicated, this discussion assumes that the Company is not, and will not become, a “passive foreign investment company,” or a PFIC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. See “—Passive Foreign Investment Companies” below.

Taxation of DividendsDistributions

Subject to certain limitations (including the discussion below under the heading "Passive“—Passive Foreign Investment Companies")Companies, the gross amount of any distributions received with respect to our ordinary shares, including the amount of any Israeli taxes withheld therefrom, will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes.  You will be requiredBecause we do not expect to include thismaintain calculations of our earnings and profits under U.S. federal income tax principles, it is expected that the entire amount of dividendsany distribution will generally be reported as dividend income to you. Dividends are included in gross income as ordinary income. Distributions in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits willwould be treated as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of your tax basis in theour ordinary shares and any amount in excess of your tax basis will be treated as gain from the sale of ordinary shares. See "-Disposition—Disposition of Ordinary Shares"Shares below for a discussion of the taxation of capital gains. Our dividends willwould not qualify for the dividends-received deduction generally available to corporations under section 243 of the Code.
 
Dividends that we pay in NIS, including the amount of any Israeli taxes withheld therefrom, will be included in your income in a U.S. dollar amount calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the day such dividends are received.received, regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted into U.S. dollars. A U.S. Holder who receives payment in NIS and converts NIS into U.S. dollars at an exchange rate other than the rate in effect on such day may have a foreign currency exchange gain or loss that would be treated as U.S.-source ordinary income or loss. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors concerning the U.S. tax consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of NIS.

Subject to complex limitations, some of which vary depending upon the U.S. Holder’s circumstances, any Israeli withholding tax imposed on such dividends paid with respect to our ordinary shares, at a rate not exceeding the applicable rate provided by the Treaty, will be a foreign income tax eligible for credit against a U.S. Holder'sHolder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (or, alternatively, for deduction against income in determining such tax liability). Israeli taxes withheld in excess of the applicable rate allowed by the Treaty will not be eligible for credit against a U.S. Holder’s federal income tax liability. The limitations set out in the Code include computational rules under whichlimitation on foreign tax credits allowableincome taxes eligible for credit is calculated separately with respect to specific classes of income cannot exceed the U.S. federal income taxes otherwise payable with respect to each such class of income.  Dividends generally will be treated as foreign-source passive category income or, in the case of certain U.S. Holders, general category income for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. Further, there are special rules for computing the foreign tax credit limitation of a taxpayer who receives dividends subject to a reduced tax rate see(see discussion below.below). A U.S. Holder may be denied a foreign tax credit with respect to Israeli income tax withheld from dividends received on our ordinary shares if such U.S. Holder fails to satisfy certain minimum holding period requirements or to the extent such U.S. Holder’s position in ordinary shares is hedged. An election to deduct foreign taxes instead of claiming foreign tax credit applies to all foreign taxes paid or accrued in the taxable year. The rules relating to the determination of the foreign tax credit are complex, and you should consult with your personalown tax advisors to determine whether and to what extent you would be entitled to this credit.
 
6165


Subject to certain limitations (including the PFIC rules discussed below, "qualifiedbelow), “qualified dividend income"income” received by a non-corporate U.S. Holder will be subject to tax at a reduced maximum tax rate ofthe lower long-term capital gain rates (currently at 20%). Distributions taxable as dividends paid on theour ordinary shares should qualify for the 20%a reduced rate provided that either: (i) we are entitled to benefits under the Treaty, or (ii) theour ordinary shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States and certain other requirements are met. We believe that we are entitled to benefits under the Treaty and that theour ordinary shares currently are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States.States (see discussion below). However, no assurance can be given that theour ordinary shares will remain readily tradable].tradable. The rate reduction does not apply unless certain holding period requirements are satisfied.  With respect to the ordinary shares, the U.S. Holder must have held such shares for at least 61 days during the 121-day period beginning 60 days before the ex-dividend date.  The rate reduction alsosatisfied, nor does notit apply to dividends received from a passive foreign investment company, seePFIC (see discussion below,below), in respect of certain hedged positions,risk-reduction transactions, or in certain other situations. The legislation enacting the reduced tax rate on qualified dividendsdividend income contains special rules for computing the foreign tax credit limitation of a taxpayer who receives dividends subject to the reduced tax rate. U.S. Holders of our ordinary shares should consult their own tax advisors regarding the effect of these rules in their particular circumstances.
 
Additional Tax on Investment Income

In addition to the income taxes described above, U.S. Holders that are individuals, estatesSale or trusts and whose income exceeds certain thresholds will be subject to a 3.8% Medicare contribution tax on net investment income, which includes dividends and capital gains.
Disposition of Ordinary Shares
 
IfSubject to the discussion of PFIC rules below, if you sell or otherwise dispose of our ordinary shares, you will generally recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes in an amount equal to the difference between the amountsamount realized on the sale or other disposition and theyour adjusted tax basis in our ordinary shares. Subject to the discussion below under the heading "Passive Foreign Investment Companies," suchshares, in each case determined in U.S. dollars. Such gain or loss will generally be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss (currently taxed at 20%) if you have held the ordinary shares for more than one year at the time of the sale or other disposition. Long-term capital gain realized by a non-corporate U.S. Holder is generally eligible for a preferential tax rate (currently at 20%). In general, any gain that you recognize on the sale or other disposition of ordinary shares will be U.S.-source for purposes of the foreign tax credit limitation; losses will generally be allocated against U.S. source income. Deduction of capital losses is subject to certain limitations under the Code.
 
In the case of a cash basis U.S. Holder who receives NIS in connection with the sale or disposition of our ordinary shares, the amount realized will be based on the U.S. dollar value of the NIS received with respect to the ordinary shares as determined on the settlement date of such exchange. A cash basis U.S. Holder who receives payment in NIS and converts NIS into United StatesU.S. dollars at a conversion rate other than the rate in effect on the settlement date may have a foreign currency exchange gain or loss, thatwhich would be treated as ordinary income or loss.
 
An accrual basis U.S. Holder may elect the same treatment required of cash basis taxpayers with respect to a sale or disposition of our ordinary shares that are traded on an established securities market, provided that the election is applied consistently from year to year. Such election may not be changed without the consent of the Internal Revenue Service ( the “IRS”).IRS. In the event that an accrual basis U.S. Holder does not elect to be treated as a cash basis taxpayer (pursuant to the Treasury regulations applicable to foreign currency transactions), such U.S. Holder may have a foreign currency gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes because of differences between the U.S. dollar value of the currency received prevailing on the trade date and the settlement date. Any such currency gain or loss would be treated as U.S.- source ordinary income or loss and would be in addition to the gain or loss, if any, recognized by such U.S. Holder on the sale or disposition of such ordinary shares.

Passive Foreign Investment Companies
 
For U.S. federal income tax purposes, we will be considered a passive foreign investment company, (a “PFIC”), for any taxable year in which either (i) 75% or more of our gross income is passive income, or (ii) at least 50% of the average value of all of our assets for the taxable year produce or are held for the production of passive income. For this purpose, passive income generally includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents, annuities and the excess of gains over losses from the disposition of assetsWe believe that produce passive income. Included in the calculation of our income and assets is a pro rata portion of the income and assets of each corporation in which we own, directly or indirectly, at least a 25% interest, by value. If we were determined to benot a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes unfavorable and highly complex rules would apply to U.S. Holders owning ordinary shares directly or indirectly. Accordingly, you are urged to consult your tax advisors regardingfor the applicationtaxable year of such rules.
Based on our current and projected income, assets and activities, we believe that we are not currently a2015. However, since PFIC, nor do we expect to become a PFIC in the foreseeable future. However, because the determination of whether we are a PFIC is based status depends upon the composition of our income and assets and the market value of our assets from time to time, there can be no assurance that we will not becomebe considered a PFIC for any future taxable year.
If we are treated aswere a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder owned an ordinary share (and under proposed Treasury regulations, a right), certain adverse consequences could apply to the U.S. Holder. Specifically, gain recognized by a U.S. Holder on a sale or other disposition of such ordinary share (or right) would be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the ordinary share (or right). The amounts allocated to the taxable year of the sale or other disposition and to any year before we became a PFIC would be taxed as ordinary income. The amount allocated to each other taxable year would be subject to tax at the highest rate in effect for individuals or corporations, as appropriate, for that taxable year, and an interest charge would be imposed on the resulting tax liability. Further, any distribution in excess of 125% of the average of the annual distributions received by the U.S. Holder on our ordinary shares during the preceding three years or the U.S. Holder’s holding period, whichever is shorter, would be subject to taxation as described immediately above. Certain elections (such as a mark-to-market election) may be available to U.S. Holders and may result in alternative tax treatment. In addition, if we were a PFIC for a taxable year in which we pay a dividend or the prior taxable year, the favorable dividend rates discussed above with respect to dividends paid to certain non-corporate U.S. Holders would not qualifyapply. If we were a PFIC for any taxable year in which a U.S. Holder owned our shares, the reduced tax rate on qualified dividend income, discussed above, you mayU.S. Holder would generally be required to file annual returns with the Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, on IRS Form 8621 with your tax return, and, unless you elect either to treat your investment in ordinary shares as an investment in a "qualified electing fund," (by making a "QEF election”), or to "mark-to-market" your ordinary shares, as described below:,8621.
 
·      the amount allocated to each year during which we are considered a PFIC, other than the year of the dividend payment or 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, and
Additional Tax on Investment Income

·      the amount allocated to the current taxable year and any taxable year before we became a PFIC would be taxable as ordinary income in the current year.

If you make either a timely QEF electionIn addition to the income taxes described above, U.S. Holders that are individuals, estates or a timely mark-to-market election in respect of your ordinary shares, you would nottrusts and whose income exceeds certain thresholds will be subject to a 3.8% Medicare contribution tax on net investment income, which includes dividends and capital gains from the rules described above. If you make a timely QEF election, you would be required to include in your income for each taxable year your pro rata sharesale or exchange of our ordinary earnings as ordinary income and your pro rata share of our net capital gain as long-term capital gain, whether or not such amounts are actually distributed to you.  You would not be eligible to make a QEF election unless we comply with certain information reporting requirements.shares.
Alternatively, assuming the ordinary shares qualify as "marketable stock" within the meaning of section 1296(e) of the Code, if you elect to "mark-to-market" your ordinary shares, you will generally include in income, in each year in which we are considered a PFIC, any excess of the fair market value of the ordinary shares at the close of each tax year over your adjusted basis in the ordinary shares. If the fair market value of the ordinary shares had depreciated below your adjusted basis at the close of the tax year, you may generally deduct the excess of the adjusted basis of the ordinary shares over its fair market value at that time. However, such deductions would generally be limited to the net mark-to-market gains, if any, that you included in income with respect to such ordinary shares in prior years. Income recognized and deductions allowed under the mark-to-market provisions, as well as any gain or loss on the disposition of ordinary shares with respect to which the mark-to-market election is made, is treated as ordinary income or loss (except that loss on a disposition of ordinary shares is treated as capital loss to the extent the loss exceeds the net mark-to-market gains, if any, that you included in income with respect to such ordinary shares in prior years). Gain or loss from the disposition of ordinary shares (as to which a mark-to-market election was made) in a year in which we are no longer a PFIC, will be capital gain or loss.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting
 
Payments in respect of our ordinary shares may be subject to information reporting to the IRS and to U.S. backup withholding tax (currently at the rate (currently) of 28%). Backup withholding will not apply, however, if you (i) are a corporation, or fall within certain exempt categories, and demonstrate suchthe fact when so required, or (ii) furnish a correct taxpayer identification number and make any other required certification.
 
Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be credited against a U.S. Holder'sHolder’s U.S. tax liabilityliability. A U.S. Holder may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules by filing the appropriate claim for refund with the IRS.
 
U.S. citizens and individuals taxable as resident aliens of the United States that hold certain specifiedown “specified foreign financial assets, including stockassets” with an aggregate value in a foreign corporation, with valuestaxable year in excess of certain thresholds (as determined under rules in Treasury regulations) and that are required to file with theira U.S. federal income tax return generally will be required to file an information report with respect to those assets with their tax returns. IRS Form 8938 on which information abouthas been issued for that purpose. “Specified foreign financial assets” include any financial accounts maintained by foreign financial institutions, foreign stocks held directly, and interests in foreign estates, foreign pension plans or foreign deferred compensation plans. Under those rules, our ordinary shares, whether owned directly or through a financial institution, estate or pension or deferred compensation plan, would be “specified foreign financial assets.” Under Treasury regulations, the reporting obligation applies to certain U.S. entities that hold, directly or indirectly, specified foreign financial assets. TaxpayersPenalties can apply if there is a failure to satisfy this reporting obligation. A U.S. Holder is urged to consult his tax advisor regarding its reporting obligation.

Any U.S. Holder who fail to file the form when required areacquires more than $100,000 of our ordinary shares or holds 10% or more in vote or value of our ordinary shares may be subject to penalties. An exemption fromcertain additional U.S. information reporting appliesrequirements.

We are subject to certain of the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, as applicable to "foreign private issuers" as defined in Rule 3b-4 under the Exchange Act. As a foreign private issuer, we are exempt from certain provisions of the Exchange Act. Accordingly, our proxy solicitations are not subject to the disclosure and procedural requirements of Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act, and transactions in our equity securities by our officers and directors are exempt from reporting and the "short-swing" profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, we are not required under the Exchange Act to file periodic reports and financial statements as frequently or as promptly as U.S. companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act. However, we file with the SEC an annual report on Form 20-F containing financial statements audited by an independent accounting firm. We also submit to the SEC reports on Form 6-K containing (among other things) press releases and unaudited financial information. We post our annual report on Form 20-F on our website (www.rada.com) promptly following the filing of our annual report with the SEC. The information on our website is not incorporated by reference into this annual report.

ITEM 11.
QUANTITATIVEQUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISKS
 
Interest Rate Risk
 
We currently do not invest in or otherwise hold, for trading or other purposes, any financial instruments subject to market risks. We pay interest on our credit facilities, convertible notes and short-term loans based on Libor, for dollar-denominated loans, and Israeli prime or adjustment differences to the Israeli consumer price index, for some of our NIS-denominated loans. As a result, changes in the general level of interest rates may affect the amount of interest payable by us under these facilities. Accordingly, a 1% increase in the Libor rate would increase our financing expenses by approximately $51,200.31,750
 
68

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
 
The depreciation of the NIS against the dollar has the effect of reducing the dollar amount of any of our expenses or liabilities which are payable in NIS (unless such expenses or payables are linked to the dollar). As of December 31, 2014,2016, we had liabilities payable in NIS which are not linked to the dollar in the amount of $3.85.1 million and cash and receivables in the amount of $1.63.6 million denominated in NIS. Accordingly, 1% appreciation of the NIS against the dollar would increase our financing expenses by approximately  $54,00087,000. A 1% depreciation of the NIS against the dollar would decrease our financing expenses by the same amount. Neither a 10% increase nor decrease in current exchange rates would have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. However, the amount of liabilities payable and/or cash and receivables in NIS is likely to change from time to time.
 
Because exchange rates between the NIS and the dollar fluctuate continuously, exchange rate fluctuations and especially larger periodic devaluations will have an impact on our profitability and period-to-period comparisons of our results. The effects of foreign currency re-measurements are reported in our consolidated financial statements in continuing operations.

Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company's principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the company's board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
 
·pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transaction and dispositions of the assets of the company;
 
·provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and
 
·provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014.2016. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on that assessment, our management concluded that as of December 31, 2014,2016, our internal control over financial reporting is effective.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
 
Under NASDAQ Stock Market Rule 5615(a) (3), foreign private issuers, such as our company, are permitted to follow certain home country corporate governance practices instead of certain provisions of the NASDAQ Stock Market Rules. A foreign private issuer that elects to follow a home country practice instead of any of such NASDAQ rules must submit to NASDAQ, in advance, a written statement from an independent counsel in such issuer's home country certifying that the issuer's practices are not prohibited by the home country's laws.
 
We have notified NASDAQ pursuant to Rule 5615(a) (3), that we do not comply with the following Rules and instead follow Israeli law and practice in respect of such Rules:
 
·The Rule requiring maintaining a majority of independent directors, as defined under the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules. Instead, under Israeli law and practice, we are required to appoint at least two outsideexternal directors, within the meaning of the Israeli Companies Law, to our board of directors. In addition, in accordance with the rules of the SEC and NASDAQ, we have the mandated three independent directors, as defined by the rules of the SEC and NASDAQ, on our audit committee. See above in Item 6C. "Directors, Senior Management and Employees - Board Practices Outside and Independent Directors.”
 
·The Rule requiring that our independent directors have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present: instead, we follow Israeli law according to which independent directors are not required to hold executive sessions.
 
·The Rule regarding independent director oversight of director nominations process for directors. Instead: instead, we follow Israeli law and practice according to which our board of directors recommends directors for election by our shareholders. See above Item 6C. "Directors, Senior Management and Employees - Board Practices - Election of Directors."
 
·The requirements regarding the directors’ nominations process. Instead, we follow Israeli law and practice in accordance with which our directors are recommended by our board of directors for election by our shareholders. See Item 6C “Directors, Senior Management and Employees - Board Practices - Election of Directors.

·The requirement to obtain shareholder approval for the establishment or amendment of certain equity based compensation plans, an issuance that will result in a change of control of the company, certain transactions other than a public offering involving issuances of a 20% or more interest in the company and certain acquisitions of the stock or assets of another company. Under Israeli law and practice, the approval of the board of directors is required for the establishment or amendment of equity based compensation plans and private placements. Under Israeli regulations, Israeli companies whose shares have been publicly offered only outside of Israel or are listed for trade only on an exchange outside of Israel, such as our company, are exempt from the Israeli law requirement to obtain shareholder approval for private placements of a 20% or more interest in the company. For the approvals and procedures required under Israeli law and practice for an issuance that will result in a change of control of the company and acquisitions of the stock or assets of another company, see Item 6C “Directors, Senior Management and Employee - Board Practices - Approval of Related Party Transactions Under Israeli Law - Disclosure of Personal Interests of a Controlling Shareholder; Approval of Transactions with Controlling Shareholders” and Item 10B “Additional Information - Memorandum and Articles of Association - Provisions Restricting Change in Control of Our Company.”

6872


·Shareholder Approval. We seek shareholder approval for all corporate action requiring such approval in accordance with the requirements of the Israeli Companies Law rather than under the requirements of the NASDAQ Listing Rules, including (but not limited to) the appointment or termination of auditors, appointment and dismissal of directors, approval of interested party acts and transactions requiring general meeting approval as discussed above and a merger.

·Shareholder Approval. We seek shareholder approval for all corporate action requiring such approval in accordance with the requirements of the Israeli Companies Law rather than under the requirements of the NASDAQ Listing Rules, including (but not limited to) the appointment or termination of auditors, appointment and dismissal of directors, approval of interested party acts, adoption of Stock Option Plans and any amendment thereto, and transactions requiring general meeting approval as discussed above and a merger.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTEREDREGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of

RADA ELECTRONIC INDUSTRIES LTD.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of RADA Electronic Industries Ltd. ("the Company"(the "Company") and its subsidiarysubsidiaries as of December 31, 20142016 and 20132015 and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014.2016. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, based on our audit, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company and subsidiaryits subsidiaries as of December 31, 20142016 and 2013,2015, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014,2016, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

d.Liquidity and Capital Resources:
 
On May 15, 2016, the Company's shareholders approved an investment transaction with new investor (the "Investor") after which the Investor has become a controlling shareholder of the Company. The Company issued 8,510,638 Ordinary shares, in consideration for an aggregate amount of approximately $4,000, or a price per each share of $0.47 (the "Initial Investment”).

In addition, as part of the investment transaction, the Investor has agreed to grant the Company an option, exercisable in the discretion of either the Investor or the Company, to obtain a convertible loan from the Investor in the principal amount of up to $3,175, which may be used solely for the purpose of the repayment of the outstanding convertible loan and accrued interest to existing shareholder due on August 31, 2016.

NOTE 1:-GENERAL (Cont.)

During the term of the loan, the Investor will have the right, but not the obligation, at its sole discretion, to convert the then remaining convertible loan amount into Ordinary shares, par value NIS 0.03, at a price per share equal to the lower of: (i) $2.40, or (ii) a five percent (5%) discount to the FMV (the average of the closing prices of the Company's Ordinary shares over the 5 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day prior to the date of conversion), but in no event less  than $0.47.
On June 16, 2016, the Company obtained the loan from the Investor and repaid the outstanding loan balance in the amount of $2,988, including accrued interest of $247 to its former controlling shareholder.

In August and November 2016, the Investor had exercised warrants for an aggregate of 2,659,575 Ordinary shares, at an exercise price of $0.47 per share, for an aggregate total consideration of $1,250.

On November 15, 2016, the Company completed a $2,000 directed registered offering of 1,904,762 Ordinary shares at a price per share of $1.05 to an additional investor.

In January 2017, subsequent to the balance sheet date, the Investor had exercised warrants to 531,915 Ordinary shares at an exercise price per share of $0.47, for a total consideration of $250.

Since incorporation, the Company incurred an accumulated deficit of $79,363. As of December 31, 2016, the Company's cash position (cash and cash equivalents) totaled approximately $2,364 (including cash and cash equivalents attributable to the discontinued operations). In addition, for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had recurring losses and negative cash flow from operating activity. The Company’s current operating plan includes various assumptions concerning the level and timing of cash receipts from existing and anticipated orders in 2017, current credit facilities available, the abovementioned Initial Investment and cash outflow from operating activity and capital expenditures. Management believes that these funds together with a commitment from the Company's controlling shareholder to financially support the Company as needed, are sufficient for the Company and its subsidiaries to meet their obligations as they come due at least for a period of twelve months from the date of issuance of the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2:-SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("US GAAP"). The significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the financial statements, applied on a consistent basis, are as follows:

a.Use of estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with ("US GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company's management believes that the estimates, judgment and assumptions used are reasonable based upon information available at the time they were made.

b.Financial statements in U.S. dollars:

MostThe majority of the revenues of the Company are generated in U.S. dollars. In addition, a substantial portionportions of the costs of the Company isare incurred in U.S dollars.

The Company's management believes that the dollar is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates. Thus, its functional and reporting currency is the dollar.

Accordingly, monetary accounts maintained in currencies other than the dollar are re-measured into U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC 830, "Foreign Currency Matters". All transaction gains and losses of the re-measured monetary balance sheet items are reflected in the statement of operations as financial income or expenses, as appropriate, in the period in which the currency exchange rate changes.

The financial statements of the Company's foreign subsidiary, whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, have been translated into dollars. All balance sheet amounts have been translated using the exchange rates in effect at balance sheet date. Statement of operation amounts have been translated using the average exchange rate prevailing during the year. Such translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders' equity.

c.Basis of consolidation:

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary. Inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

h.Impairment of long-lived assets:

The Company's long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 360, "Property, plant and equipment";, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable.

Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

Goodwill represents excess ofAs required by ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurement", the costs over the net assets of businesses acquired. Under ASC 350, "Intangibles - Goodwill and other", goodwill acquiredCompany applies assumptions that market place participations would consider in a business combination should not be amortized. ASC 350 requires goodwill to be tested for impairment at least annually or between annual tests in certain circumstances, and written down when impaired.

ASC 350 prescribes a two-phase process for impairment testing of goodwill. The first phase screens for impairment while the second phase (if necessary) measures impairment. In the first phase of impairment testing, goodwill attributable to each of the reporting units is tested for impairment by comparingdetermines the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying value. The Company determines its fair value according to the Company's market capitalization and the goodwill was tested for impairment by comparing the fair market value with its carrying amount. As of December 31, 2014, no impairment indicators have been identified. As a result, step two was not required.

The Company applies ASC 740-10. ASC 740-10 contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions accounted for in accordance with ASC 740. The first step is to evaluate the tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that, on an evaluation of the technical merits, the tax position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes.

The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The adoption of ASC 740-10 did not result in a change in the Company's accumulated deficit. The Company did not record any provision in connection with ASC 740-10 as of December 31, 20142016 and 2013.

m.k.Severance pay:

The Company's agreements with most of its employees are in accordance with section 14 of the Severance Pay Law -1963,- 1963, under which the Company's contributions for severance pay shall be instead of severance compensation. Upon release of the policy to the employee, no additional liability exists between the parties regarding the matter of severance pay and no additional payments will be made by the Company to the employee.

The Company's liability for severance pay for the employees that are not covered in section 14 is calculated pursuant to Israel's Severance Pay Law - 1963, based on the most recent salary of the employees as of the balance sheet date less monthly deposits for insurance policies and/or pension funds. Employees are entitled to one month's salary for each year of employment or a portion thereof.

The carrying value of deposited funds includes profits (losses) accumulated up to the balance sheet date. The deposited funds may be withdrawn only upon the fulfillment of the obligations pursuant to Israeli severance pay law or labor agreements.

Severance expense recorded in the statement of operations is net of interest and other income accumulated in the deposits. Severance expense for the years ended December 31, 2014, 20132016, 2015 and 20122014 amounted to $251, $553 and $674, $483respectively.

l.Accounting for share-based compensation:
The Company accounts for share-based payment in accordance with ASC 718, "Compensation - Stock Compensation", which requires the measurement and $562, respectively.recognition of compensation expense based on estimated fair values for all share-based payment awards made to employees on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods in the Company's statement of operations.

NOTE 2:-n.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
The fair value for the Company's stock options granted to employees and directors was estimated using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:
  December 31, 
  2016  2015 
       
Dividend yield  0%  - 
Risk-free interest rate  1.19%  - 
Expected term (in years)  4.5   - 
Volatility  80%  - 
The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company's historical and expectation of future dividend payouts and may be subject to changes in the future.

The computation of expected volatility is based on realized historical share price volatility of the Company's share.

The risk-free interest rate assumption is the implied yield currently available on the U.S treasury yield zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life term of the Company's options.
The expected term of the options represents the period of time that the options are expected to be outstanding and is based on the simplified method, as allowed under Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110, which is the mid-point between the vesting date and the end of the contractual of the option.

m.Fair value of financial instruments:

The Company measures its financial instruments at fair value. Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability.

A three-tier fair value hierarchy is established as a basis for considering such assumptions and for inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

Level 1 -Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not applied to Level 1 instruments. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these products does not entail a significant degree of judgment.

n.Fair value of financial instruments (Cont.):
The availability of observable inputs can vary from investment to investment and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of investment, the liquidity of markets and other characteristics particular to the transaction. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment and the investments are categorized as Level 3.

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, restricted deposits, trade receivables, other accounts receivable, bank credit and current maturities of long term loans, trade payables and other accounts payable approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Foreign currency derivative contracts are classified within Level 2 as the valuation inputs are based on quoted prices and market observable data of similar instruments.

o.n.Concentrations of credit risk:

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company and its subsidiary to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade receivables and long-term receivables.

The Company's and its subsidiary's cash and cash equivalents and restricted cashdeposits are mainly held in U.S. dollars with major banks in Israel.Israel and China. Management believes that the financial institutions that hold the Company's investments are institutions with high credit standing, and accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to these investments.

The Company's and its subsidiary's trade receivables are derived from sales to large and solid organizations located mainly in the United States, Asia, SouthLatin America and Israel. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and to date has not experienced any material losses. An allowance for doubtful accounts is determined with respect to these amounts that the Company has determined to be doubtful of collection. The allowance is computed for specific debts and the collectability is determined based upon the Company's experience.

The Company has no off-balance sheet credit risks.
p.o.Comprehensive income (loss):

The Company accounts for comprehensive income in accordance with ASC 220, "Comprehensive Income". This statement establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components.

Comprehensive income generally represents all changes in shareholders' equity during the period except those resulting from investments by, or distributions to, shareholders.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income”, which is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Accordingly, the Company adopted ASU 2011-05 on January 1, 2012. This guidance eliminates the option to present the componentspresents a separate consolidated statement of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. Upon adoption of the new guidance, the Company elected to present a separate statement of consolidated comprehensive income.

Revenues from long-term fixed price contracts which provide a substantial level of development efforts are recognized in accordance with ASC 605-35, ("Construction-Type"Construction-Type and Production-Type contracts"), using contract accounting on a percentage of completion method in accordance with the "Input Method". The percentage of completion is determined based on the ratio of actual costs incurred to total costs estimated to be incurred over the duration of the contract. With regard to contracts for which a loss is anticipated, a provision is made for the entire amount of the estimated loss at the time such loss becomes evident. As of December 31, 20142016 and 2013,2015, the provision for estimated losses identified is $0 and $41,$27, respectively.

Revenues from long-term fixed-price contracts that involve both development and production are recorded using the cost-to-cost method (development phase) and units-of-delivery method (production phase) as applicable to each phase of the contract, as the basis to measure progress toward completioncompletion.

Estimated gross profit or loss from long-term contracts may change due to changes in estimates resulting from differences between actual performance and original forecasts. Such changes in estimated gross profit or loss are recorded in results of operations when they are reasonably determinable by management, on a cumulative catch-up basis.

The Company believes that the use of the percentage of completion method is appropriate as the Company has the ability to make reasonably dependable estimates of the extent of progress towards completion, contract revenues and contract costs. In addition, contracts executed include provisions that clearly specify the enforceable rights regarding services to be provided and received by the parties to the contracts, the consideration to be exchanged and the manner and terms of settlement.

In all cases, the Company expects to perform its contractual obligations and its customers are expected to satisfy their obligations under the contract.

Service revenues:

Revenues from services are recognized as the services are performed.

s.Derivatives and hedging:

The Company accounts for derivatives and hedging based on ASC 815, "Derivatives and hedging", as amended and related Interpretations. ASC 815 requires the Company to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. If a derivative meets the definition of a hedge and is so designated, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings (for cash flowfair value hedge transactions) or recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged item is recognized in earnings (for fair valuecash flow hedge transactions).

The ineffective portion of a derivative's change in fair value is recognized in earnings. If a derivative does not meet the definition of a hedge, the changes in the fair value are included in earnings. Cash flows related to such hedges are classified as operating activities.

The Company enters into forward exchange contracts and option contracts in order to limit the exposure to exchange rate fluctuation associated with payroll expenses mainly incurred in NIS. Since the derivative instruments that the Company holds do not meet the definition of hedging instruments under ASC 815, any gain or loss derived from such instruments is recognized immediately as financial expenses, net.

As of December 31, 20142016 and December 31, 2013,2015, the fair value of the outstanding forward contracts is $216was $8 and $23, respectively, which was recorded in other accruals against financial expenses and $46 which was recorded in other receivables against financial income, respectively.expenses.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In May 2014, FASB issued comprehensive new revenue recognition guidance, (ASU 2014-09 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) effectively replacing all current guidance on the topic. Given the significance of this pronouncement, the Company is currently in the process of reviewing the new standard and its potential impact on the Company. The new guidance is effective for the Company's consolidated financial statements beginning on January 1, 2017. The effects of the new guidance on the Company's statements of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows are still being assessed.
Standards:

ASU 2014-15 - Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40):
In August 2014, the FASB issued guidance on disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (ASU 2014-15), which defines management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern. ASU 2014-15 also provide principles and definitions that are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of disclosures in the financial statement footnotes. This guidance is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2014-15 for the year ended December 31, 2016. The adoption of ASU 2014-15 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2016-09 - Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718):
In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance on improvements to Employee Share-Based Payments. The standard requires among others that excess tax benefits or deficiencies for share-based payments be recorded as income tax benefit of expense, rather then within additional paid in capital, in the period the shares vest. Cash flows related to excess tax benefits will be included in operating activities instead of separately classified as a financing activity. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements at the time of adoption of this standard.

ASU 2016-18 - Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230):
In November 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. The ASU requires that the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows explain the change in total cash and equivalents and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts. The ASU also requires a reconciliation between the total of cash and equivalents and restricted cash presented on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and the cash and equivalents balance presented on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. ASU 2016-18 is effective retrospectively on January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect of the guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2016-02 - Leases (Topic 842):
In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance on the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e, lessees and lessors). The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, respectively.  A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for in a manner similar to the accounting under existing guidance for operating leases today. The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. Topic 842 supersedes the previous leases standard, ASC 840, "Leases". The guidance is effective for the interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2018 (early adoption is permitted). The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect of the guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2015-11 - Inventory (Topic 330):
In July 2015, the FASB issued guidance on current accounting for inventory measurement. The new guidance requires entities to measure inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is defined by the guidance as the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The guidance is effective for the interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016 (early adoption is permitted). The Company does not expect this guidance to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements at the time of adoption of this standard.

ASU 2014-09 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606):
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (Topic 606), which will replace existing requirements in U.S. GAAP, including industry-specific requirements, significantly expand the disclosure requirements and provide companies with a single revenue recognition model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 also provides for additional disclosure requirements. The FASB has recently issued several amendments to the new standard, including clarification on accounting for licenses of intellectual property and identifying performance obligations. The amendments include ASU No. 2016-08, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)-Principal versus Agent Considerations", which was issued in March 2016, and clarifies the implementation guidance for principal versus agent considerations in ASU 2014-09, and ASU No. 2016-10, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)-Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing", which was issued in April 2016, and amends the guidance in ASU No. 2014-09 related to identifying performance obligations and accounting for licenses of intellectual property.

The new standard permits adoption either by using (i) a full retrospective approach for all periods presented in the period of adoption or (ii) a modified retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially applying the new standard recognized at the date of initial application and providing certain additional disclosures. While ASU 2014-09 was to be effective for annual periods and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, on July 9, 2015, the FASB approved the deferral of the effective date to periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017.

Accordingly, the Company intends to adopt ASU 2014-09 on January 1, 2018 and continues to deliberate the selection of the transition method. The Company has made progress toward completing the evaluation of the potential changes from adopting the new standard in its financial reporting and disclosures.  The Company expects to predominantly complete the contract evaluation and validate the impact of the accounting and disclosure changes on its business processes, controls and systems during the first half of 2017, design any changes to such business processes, controls and systems by the middle of 2017, and implement the changes over the remainder of 2017.

The adoption of the new standard may primarily impact the Company's contracts where revenue is currently recognized using the percentage-of-completion units-of-delivery method, with the possible resulting impact being revenue which may be recognized earlier in the performance period as it incur costs, as opposed to when units are delivered. This change may also impact the Company's balance sheet presentation with a possible decrease in inventories, an increase in contract assets (i.e., unbilled receivables) and a net increase to retained earnings to primarily reflect the impact of converting units-of-delivery contracts to the cost-to-cost method for recognizing revenue and profits.

ASU 2016-15 - Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. In August 2016, the FASB issued guidance on the classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments which intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows by providing guidance on eight specific cash flow issues. ASU 2016-15 is effective retrospectively on January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted.
