INCOME TAXES

 
a.
Tax benefits under the Israel Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959 (the "Law"):

Various industrial programs of the Company had been granted "Approved Enterprise" and "Beneficiary Enterprise" status, which provides certain benefits, including tax exemptions and reduced tax rates. Income not eligible for Approved Enterprise and Beneficiary Enterprise benefits is taxed at a regular rate.
In the event dividends are distributed from tax-exempt income, the amount distributed will be subject to corporate tax at the rate ordinarily applicable to the Approved Enterprise's income. Tax-exempt income generated under the Company's Beneficiary Enterprise program will be subject to taxes upon dividend distribution or complete liquidation. The entitlement to the above benefits is conditional upon the Company's fulfilling the conditions stipulated by the Law and regulations published thereunder. Should the Company fail to meet such requirements in the future, income attributable to its Approved Enterprise and Beneficiary Enterprise programs could be subject to the statutory Israeli corporate tax rate and the Company could be required to refund a portion of the tax benefits already received, with respect to such programs. As of December 31, 2012, management believes that the Company is in compliance with the Law's conditions.
In November 2010 the Company's Board decided to change its dividend policy whereby the Company does not intend to distribute dividends from earnings of 2011 and beyond. As of December 31, 2012, tax exempt income incurred up to December 31, 2010 that was not distributed was approximately $ 8,900. Should this amount be distributed, it would be taxed at the corporate tax rate applicable to such profits (currently 25%), and an income tax liability of up to approximately $ 2,225 would be incurred.

The Investment Law, was subject to a reform effective January 2011. According to the reform a flat tax rate will apply to companies eligible for the "Preferred Enterprise" status. In order to be eligible for Preferred Enterprise status, a company must meet minimum requirements establishing that it contributes to the country's economic growth and is a competitive factor for the Gross Domestic Product (a competitive enterprise). Israeli companies which currently benefit from an Approved or Beneficiary Enterprise status and meet the criteria for qualification as a Preferred Enterprise can elect to apply the new Preferred Enterprise benefits by waiving their benefits under the Approved and Beneficiary Enterprise status.
Commencing 2011, the Company elected to apply the new Preferred Enterprise benefits. Benefits granted to a Preferred Enterprise include reduced and gradually decreasing tax rates. The tax rate is 15% in 2011 and 2012, 12.5% in 2013 and 2014 and 12% starting from 2015.
A distribution from a Preferred Enterprise out of the "Preferred Income" would be subject to 15% withholding tax for Israeli-resident individuals and non-Israeli residents (subject to applicable treaty rates). A distribution from a Preferred Enterprise out of the "Preferred Income" would be exempt from withholding tax for an Israeli-resident company.

 
b.
Corporate tax rates in Israel:

Taxable income of Israeli companies is subject to the Israeli corporate tax at the following rates: 2010 - 25%, 2011 - 24%, 2012 - 25%.

 
c.

e.
Tax loss carry-forwards:

The company has a Net operating loss carry-forwards in the United States as of December 31, 2012 of approximately $ 20,000.
Net operating losses in the U.S. may be carried forward through periods which will expire in the years starting from 2026 up to 2031. Utilization of U.S. net operating losses may be subject to substantial annual limitation due to the "change in ownership" provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and similar state provisions. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating losses before utilization.
