NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Lapis was formed in Delaware on January 31, 2002 under the name Enertec Electronics, Inc. Lapis, via its subsidiary Enertec Systems 2001 LTD (“Enertec Systems”), an Israeli corporation formed on August 28, 2001, is a manufacturer and provider of various military and airborne systems, simulators, automatic test equipment (ATE), electronic components and products related to power supplies, converters and other power conversion products. Our business is focused in two major product lines: (i) the development and manufacturing of simulators and automatic test equipment (ATE) to a large variety of weapons systems and at all levels of maintenance, development and integration and (ii) the development and manufacturing of comprehensive, large scale, electronics systems for the military industry providing comprehensive solution to power supply, command and control including systems design, development, manufacturing and implementation on a turn-key basis. The management of Lapis has begun to implement its strategy of focusing on developing comprehensive electronics turn-key solutions via its controlled subsidiary Enertec Systems. This strategy potentially includes larger scale transactions enabling higher revenue as well as increasing the gross margin and overall profitability. Presently, Lapis conducts its operations in Israel through its wholly owned subsidiary Enertec Electronics Limited (“Enertec Electronics”) which owns a 73% equity interest of Enertec Systems. The Enertec Electronics business is gradually decreasing as a result of our strategy to exit from the business of selling electronics components to focus on the development, design and manufacturing of large systems. The vast majority of the Lapis business is conducted by Enertec Systems through its factory located in Karmiel in the northern part of Israel.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q (the “Report”) contains or may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue,” the negative of such terms, or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions. Actual events or results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements as a result of various important factors. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, such should not be regarded as a representation by Lapis Technologies, Inc. (“Lapis” or the “Company”), or any other person, that such forward-looking statements will be achieved. The business and operations of Lapis Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries are subject to substantial risks, which increase the uncertainty inherent in the forward-looking statements contained in this Report. Because these forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, there are important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, including our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and other factors discussed under “Risk Factors,” included in the quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2010 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 24, 2010.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Report.

Lapis was formed in Delaware on January 31, 2002 under the name Enertec Electronics, Inc. Lapis, via its subsidiary Enertec Systems, an Israeli corporation formed on August 28, 2001, is a manufacturer and provider of various military and airborne systems, simulators, automatic test equipment (ATE), electronic components and products related to power supplies, converters and other power conversion products. Our business is focused in two major product lines: (i) the development and manufacturing of simulators and automatic test equipment (ATE) to a large variety of weapons systems and at all levels of maintenance, development and integration and (ii) the development and manufacturing of comprehensive, large scale, electronics systems for the military industry providing comprehensive solution to power supply, command and control including systems design, development, manufacturing and implementation on a turn-key basis. The management of Lapis has begun to implement its strategy of focusing on developing comprehensive electronics turn-key solutions via its controlled subsidiary Enertec Systems. This strategy potentially includes larger scale transactions enabling higher revenue as well as increasing the gross margin and overall profitability. Presently, Lapis conducts its operations in Israel through its wholly owned subsidiary Enertec Electronics, which owns a 73% equity interest of Enertec Systems. The Enertec Electronics business is gradually decreasing as a result of our strategy to exit from the business of selling electronics components to focus on the development, design and manufacturing of large systems. The vast majority of the Lapis business is conducted by Enertec Systems through its factory located in Karmiel in the northern part of Israel.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2010, our cash balance was $360,000 as compared to $711,000 at June 30, 2009. Total current assets at June 30, 2010 were $7,383,000 as compared to $8,154,000 at June 30, 2009. The decrease in current assets is mainly due to the decrease in inventory.

Our accounts receivable at June 30, 2010 were $3,587,000 as compared to $3,386,000 at June 30, 2009. This increase in accounts receivables is primarily due to an increase in sales.

As of June 30, 2010 our working capital was $2,632,000 as compared to $1,853,000 at June 30, 2009. The increase in working capital is due primarily to a decrease in current liabilities.

There was no current portion of long-term loans at June 30, 2009. The current portion of long-term loans at June 30, 2010 was $99,000. Our total short-term loans amounted to $1,287,000 as of June 30, 2010 as compared to $3,926,000 as of June 30, 2009.

As of June 30, 2010, our total bank debt was $1,684,000 as compared to $4,467,000 at June 30, 2009 and $3,484,000 as compared to December 31, 2009. These funds were borrowed as follows:

$1,287,000 was borrowed as various short term bank loans due through 2010, and $1,000 using our bank lines of credit. As a result we decreased the amount borrowed for the six months ended June 30, 2010 by $2,783,000 as compared to the same period in 2009. The decrease in bank debt is mainly due to (i) better collection of accounts receivables, (ii) a shareholder loan in the amount of $1,032,000, and (iii) an increase in net income as compared to June 30, 2009.

There are no other lines of credit available to us to refinance our short-term bank loans. Additionally, we currently do not have any other sources of financing available to us for refinancing our short-term loans. As of June 30, 2010, we are current with all of our bank debt and compliant with all the terms of our bank debt.

Financing Needs

Although we currently do not have any material commitments for capital expenditures, we expect our capital requirements to increase over the next several years as we continue to support the growth of our business, develop, manufacture and market larger scale solutions, support our growing manufacturing and finance needs, continue the development and testing of our suite of products and systems, respond to competitive pressures, increase management, marketing and administration infrastructure, and embark on developing in-house business capabilities and facilities. Our future liquidity and capital funding requirements will depend on numerous factors, including, but not limited to, the levels and costs of our research and development initiatives, the cost of hiring and training additional highly skilled professionals (mainly engineers and technicians), qualified stronger management, sales and marketing personnel to promote our products and the cost and timing of the expansion of our development, manufacturing and marketing efforts.

Based on our current business plan, we anticipate that our existing cash balances and cash generated from future sales will be sufficient to permit us to conduct our operations and to carry out our contemplated business plans for the next twelve months. However, management may undertake additional debt or equity financings to better enable Lapis to grow and meet its future operating and capital requirements. There is no assurance that we will be able to consummate such offerings on favorable terms or at all. Currently, the only external sources of liquidity are our bank facilities.

Results of Operations

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2009

Revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 were $3,036,000 and $5,383,000, respectively, as compared to $2,213,000 and $4,322,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009. This represents an increase of $823,000 or 37% for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 and an increase of $1,051,000 or 24% for the six months ended June 30, 2010, when compared to the same periods of 2009. The increase in revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the same periods of 2009 is mainly the result of Lapis focusing on its growing comprehensive electronics turn-key solutions market, which generated larger scale transactions, as well as Lapis’s success in deepening its cooperation with its major strategic current customers, which generated additional business for Lapis. Lapis experienced a substantial change in the source of the revenue. The portion of the revenue attributed to Enertec Systems for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 is 92% and 95%, respectively, of total revenues as compared to 74% and 78%, respectively, of total revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009. Management believes that this trend will continue and that by the end of 2010 most revenue will be derived from the Enertec Systems business.

Gross profit totaled approximately $1,331,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 and $2,226,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The gross profit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, totaled $520,000 and $1,063,000 respectively. Comparison of the three months ended June 30, 2010 to the three months ended June 30, 2009 reflects a significant increase of $811,000 in the gross profit, which represents an increase of 156%. Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2010 to the six months ended June 30, 2009 reflects a significant increase of $1,163,000 which represents an increase of 109% as compared to the same period of 2009. The substantial increase in the gross profit is attributable primarily to the increase in sales of the comprehensive system solutions according to the new strategy. These system solutions combine better utilization of our existing know-how with the performance of larger scale projects with higher profitability.

Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 44% and 41% for the three-and six-month period ended June 30, 2010, respectively, compared to 23.5% and 24.5% for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2009, respectively. This increase is primarily due to the transition into higher and more complex simulation systems, from which the Company can achieve a higher gross margin in various projects.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, operating expenses totaled $547,000 and $1,132,000, respectively. This was an increase of $165,000 (43%) and $400,000 (55%), respectively, when compared to $382,000 and $732,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009, respectively. This increase in operating expenses is primarily due to the (i) change of control in Lapis in November 2009 and the increased general and administrative expenses incurred as a result of the new controlling shareholder's desire to strengthen the Lapis and/or Enertec Systems management and corporate headquarters services to the business unit; the company has recorded an approximately $80,000 write-off for doubtful receivables in the last quarter of 2010 (ii) increase in research and development expenses of $11,000 and $55,000, respectively, for three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same periods of 2009, primarily due to Lapis’s efforts to develop its comprehensive systems and solutions line of business, the development of its market, and the efforts made by Lapis to develop new solutions tailored made for the major customers.

Our net profit was $558,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and $654,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. This compares to a net profit of $49,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2009 and $135,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2009. This represents an increase in net income of $509,000 (1,039%) and $519,000 (384%), respectively, comparing the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 to the same periods in 2009. The increase was primarily the result of sales of products with higher gross margins despite incurring increased expenses as described above.

As of June 30, 2010, we had two customers that accounted for approximately 89% of the accounts receivables.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are part of operating expenses. Research and development costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 were $54,000 and $119,000, respectively, compared to $43,000 and $64,000, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in research and development costs is due to increased efforts in developing new products and solutions.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, and results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.

Critical Accounting Policies

Concentration of Credit Risk - Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited to customers dispersed primarily across Israel. All trade receivables are concentrated in the manufacturing and distribution of electronic components segment of the economy; accordingly the Company is exposed to business and economic risk. Although the Company does not currently foresee a concentrated credit risk associated with these trade receivables, repayment is dependent upon the financial stability of this segment of the economy.

Revenue Recognition and Customer Deposits - Revenue is recorded as product is shipped, the price has been fixed or determined, collectability is reasonably assured and all material specific performance obligations have been completed. The product sold by the Company is made to the specifications of each customer; sales returns and allowances are allowed on a case-by-case basis, are not material to the financial statements and are recorded as an adjustment to sales. Cash payments received in advance are recorded as customer deposits.

Financial Instruments - The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, bank line of credit, short term bank loans and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value at June 30, 2010 because of the relatively short maturity of the instruments. The fair value of due from stockholder is not practical to estimate without incurring excessive cost and is carried at cost at June 30, 2010. The carrying value of the long-term debt approximate fair value at June 30, 2010 based upon debt terms available for companies under similar terms.

Foreign Currency Translation - Lapis has one wholly owned subsidiary, Enertec Electronics, an Israeli corporation, and one majority owned subsidiary, Enertec Systems, an Israeli corporation. The assets and liabilities of the foreign subsidiaries are translated at current exchange rates and related revenues and expenses at average exchange rates in effect during the periods reported. Resulting translation adjustments, if material, are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss.

Preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We believe the most complex and sensitive judgments, because of their significance to our consolidated financial statements, result primarily from the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements presented in our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2010, describe the significant accounting estimates and policies used in preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Actual results in these areas could differ from management’s estimates. There were no significant changes in our critical accounting estimates during the three months ended June 30, 2010.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Not Applicable.

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time specified in the SEC rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act the Company carried out an evaluation with the participation of the Company’s management, including Mr. David Lucatz, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Mrs. Tali Dinar, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the period ended June 30, 2010. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
