NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)<br />

NOTE 13 – DERIVATIVES AND OTHER FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued):<br />

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial<br />

instruments:<br />

1) The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and trade payables approximates their fair values<br />

due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.<br />

2) The fair value of short and long-term marketable securities and bank deposits with quoted market prices is based on<br />

quoted market prices.<br />

3) The fair value of derivative instruments is estimated by obtaining quotes from brokers.<br />

As to the fair value of derivatives, see c. below. As to the fair value of marketable securities, see note12b.<br />

The Company has only limited involvement with derivative financial instruments. The Company carries out transactions<br />

involving foreign exchange derivative financial instruments (forward exchange contracts). These transactions do not qualify for<br />

hedge accounting under FAS 133.<br />

During 2005, the Company entered into four foreign currencies forward contracts for conversion of Pounds Sterling, Euro,<br />

Australian dollar and Israeli currency into a notional amount in dollars of approximately $ 5,400,000. These contracts were<br />

rolled over a few times during 2004 and are still outstanding as of December 31, 2005.<br />

The fair value of the open contracts as of December 31, 2005 is $71,000 and reflects the estimated amounts that the Group<br />

would pay to terminate the contracts at the reporting date, which was charged to financial expenses.<br />

a. The Company conducts business globally and is managed geographically. The Company and its subsidiaries reportable segments<br />

are strategic business units, which are distinguished by the geographical areas in which they generate revenues, based on the<br />

location of customers.<br />

The Company evaluates performance based on the revenues presented for each geographical segment. Segment assets<br />

information is not given, since the Company does not evaluate performance based on such assets. Based on the criteria above,<br />

the Company has the following reportable segments: Israel, U.S. and International.<br />
