Our Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2002 that includes our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 is enclosed but is not part of the proxy solicitation materials. The Annual Report, the proxy card and this Proxy Statement are being mailed to shareholders on or about November 3, 2003. Shares eligible to be voted and for which a proxy card is properly signed and returned at least 24 hours prior to the beginning of the Meeting will be voted as directed. If directions are not given or directions are not in accordance with the options listed on a signed and returned proxy card, such shares will be voted FOR the nominees for director and each proposition for which the Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR. Unsigned or unreturned proxies, including those not returned by banks, brokers, or other record holders, will not be counted for quorum or voting purposes. You may revoke your proxy at any time prior to the exercise of authority granted in the proxy by giving a written notice of revocation to our Corporate Secretary, by submitting a subsequently dated, validly executed proxy, or by voting in person at the Meeting. As of October 30, 2003, the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to vote at the Meeting, there were outstanding 18,510,716 ordinary shares. Each ordinary share entitles the holder to one vote. The ordinary shares have a par value of NIS 0.005 per share. The presence of two shareholders, holding at least one third of our voting rights, represented in person or by proxy at the Meeting, will constitute a quorum. If, within half an hour from the time appointed for the holding of a general meeting, a quorum is not present, the meeting shall stand adjourned to the same day in the next week at the same time and place, and if, at such adjourned meeting, a quorum is not present within half an hour from the time appointed for holding the meeting any two shareholders present in person or by proxy shall constitute a quorum. This proxy shall constitute notice of such adjourned meeting and no additional notice shall be provided by us to the shareholders. The election of the Class A director and the Class B director and each of the other proposals to be presented in the Meeting require an affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the ordinary shares represented at the Annual General Meeting, in person or by proxy and voting thereon. The election of each of the two Outside Directors, Ms. Hava Snir and Mr. Zvi Tropp, requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the ordinary shares represented at the Meeting, in person or by proxy and voting thereon, provided that such majority includes at least one third of the non-controlling shareholders represented and voting at the Meeting, or that the total shareholdings of those who are not controlling shareholders of our company that vote against their election do not represent more than 1% of the voting rights in our company. A broker who is the record owner of ordinary shares beneficially owned by a customer will have discretionary authority to vote such ordinary shares in the election of directors and all other proposals herein if the broker has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner by the tenth day before the Meeting, provided that this Proxy Statement was transmitted to the beneficial owner at least 15 days before the Meeting. Abstentions and broker "non-votes" are not counted in determining outcomes of matters being acted upon. Abstentions are counted only for determining a meeting quorum. A broker "non-vote" occurs when a nominee holding ordinary shares of our company for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary voting power with respect to that proposal and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. We will bear the cost of soliciting proxies from our shareholders. Proxies will be solicited by mail and may also be solicited personally or by telephone by our directors, officers and employees. We will reimburse brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their expenses in accordance with the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission concerning the sending of proxies and proxy material to the beneficial owners of stock. You may vote by submitting your proxy with voting instructions by mail if you promptly complete, sign, date and return the accompanying proxy card in enclosed self-addressed envelope to our transfer agent or to our registered office in Israel at least 24 hours prior to the Meeting.

In addition to these three classes of directors, we have two "outside directors" as defined by the Israeli Companies Law who hold office for a term of three years, which may be extended only once for additional three years period. All the members of our Board of Directors (except the outside directors as detailed herein) may be reelected upon completion of their term of office.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND COMMITTEES Independent and Outside Directors The Israeli Companies Law requires Israeli companies with shares that have been offered to the public in or outside of Israel to appoint at least two outside directors. No person may serve as an outside director if the person's position or other activities create, or may create, a conflict of interest with the person's responsibilities as an outside director or may otherwise interfere with the person's ability to serve as an outside director. If, at the time outside directors are to be appointed, all current members of the board of directors are of the same gender, then at least one outside director must be of the other gender. Outside directors are elected by shareholders. The shareholders voting in favor of their election must include at least one-third of the shares of the non-controlling shareholders of the company who are present at the meeting. This minority approval requirement need not be met if the total shareholdings of those non-controlling shareholders who vote against their election represent 1% or less of all of the voting rights in the company. Outside directors serve for a three-year term, which may be renewed for only one additional three-year term. Outside directors can be removed from office only by the same special percentage of shareholders as can elect them, or by a court, and then only if the outside directors cease to meet the statutory qualifications with respect to their appointment or if they violate their duty of loyalty to the company. Any committee of the board of directors must include at least one outside director and the audit committee must include all of the outside directors. An outside director is entitled to compensation as provided in regulations adopted under the Companies Law and is otherwise prohibited from receiving any other compensation, directly or indirectly, in connection with such service. Audit Committee The Israeli Companies Law provides that public companies must appoint an audit committee, which must consist of at least three members and include all of the company's outside directors. The chairman of the board of directors, any director employed by the company or providing services to the company on a regular basis, any controlling shareholder and any relative of a controlling shareholder may not be a member of the audit committee. The Nasdaq Stock Market requires us to have at least three independent directors on our board of directors and to establish an audit committee. The members of our audit committee are Ms. Snir and 6 Messrs. Tropp and Agmon. Each of these directors meets the independent requirements of the Nasdaq, and Ms. Snir and Mr. Tropp qualify as outside directors under the Israeli Companies Law. Designees for Directors Pursuant to two private placement agreements entered into in June and August 1997, we sold an aggregate of 695,200 ordinary shares to Horsham Enterprises Ltd.

In a private placement effected by us in June 1999, Horsham Enterprises Ltd. acquired from us an additional 554,400 ordinary shares. As a result of these share purchases and additional share purchases in the open market, Horsham Enterprises Ltd. became our second largest shareholder, holding, as of the date of this Proxy Statement, approximately 7.3% of our ordinary shares. During the negotiations for the 1997 private placement agreements, we undertook to bring before our Board of Directors two designees of Horsham Enterprises Ltd. for their approval by the Board as nominees for director.

The exercise price of an option granted to an employee may not be less than 60% of the fair market value of our ordinary shares on the date of grant of the option. The exercise price of an option to a non-employee director or consultant may not be less than 80% of the fair market value of our ordinary shares on the date of grant of the option. If any option expires without having been fully exercised, the shares with respect to which such option has not been exercised will be available for future grants. Options may not be transferable by the optionee otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and during the optionee's lifetime are exercisable only by the optionee. Options terminate before their expiration dates one year after the optionee's death while in our employ, three months after the optionee's retirement for reasons of age or disability or involuntary termination of employment other than for cause, and immediately upon voluntary termination of employment or involuntary termination of employment for cause. Our Board of Directors may, in its discretion, modify, revise or terminate the 1993 Stock Option Plan at any time, but the aggregate number of shares issuable pursuant to options may not be increased (except in the event of certain changes in our capital structure), the eligibility provisions and minimum option price may not be changed, and the permissible maximum term of options may not be increased, without the consent of our shareholders. The 1993 Stock Option Plan also contains provisions protecting optionees against dilution of the value of their options in the case of stock splits, stock dividends or other changes in our capital structure, in the event of any proposed reorganization or merger involving our company or in the event of any spin-off or distribution of assets to our shareholders. As of October 30, 2003, options to purchase 55,600 ordinary shares had been granted to 16 employees and directors, at an average exercise price of $5.45 per share. All of such options are currently exercisable. To date, no options have been exercised. 1994 Stock Option Plan Our 1994 Stock Option Plan provides for the issuance of stock options to purchase an aggregate of 200,000 of our ordinary shares. Options under the 1994 Stock Option Plan may be issued to outside directors, consultants, officers and other key employees of our company and its subsidiaries who, in the judgment of the board of directors or, if appointed in the future, a committee which will administer the 1994 Stock Option Plan, are in a position to contribute significantly to our success. The terms of the 1994 Stock Option Plan are substantially the same as those of the 1993 Stock Option Plan. As of October 30, 2003, options to purchase 40,400 ordinary shares had been granted to 9 employees and directors at an average exercise price of $4.35 per share. All of such options are currently exercisable. To date, no options have been exercised. 8 1996 Stock Option Plan Our 1996 Stock Option Plan authorizes the issuance of options to key employees and consultants, including officers and directors of our company and its subsidiaries, to purchase an aggregate of 240,000 ordinary shares, who, in the judgment of the board of directors or, are in position to contribute significantly to our success. The terms of the 1996 Stock Option Plan are substantially the same as those of the 1993 Stock Option Plan. As of October 30, 2003, options to purchase 6,800 ordinary shares had been granted to 3 employees and directors at an average exercise price of $3.58 per share.

Of such options, options to purchase 370,400 ordinary shares are currently exercisable. All of such options are currently exercisable. No options have been exercised to date APPOINTMENT OF AUDITORS (Item 2 on the Proxy Card) Our Board of Directors first appointed Luboshitz Kasirer, independent certified public accountants in Israel, then a member firm of Arthur Andersen, as our auditors in 1999 and has reappointed the firm, which is now a member firm of Ernst & Young Global, as our auditors since such time. Luboshitz Kasirer has no relationship with us or any of our affiliates except as auditors. As a result of Luboshitz Kasirer's knowledge of our operations, the Board of Directors is convinced that this firm has the necessary personnel, professional qualifications and independence to act as our auditors. Our Audit Committee and Board of Directors recommend that Luboshitz Kasirer be selected as our auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2003 and recommend that the shareholders ratify and approve the selection. The remuneration of Luboshitz Kasirer will be fixed by the Audit Committee and Board of Directors according to the scope and nature of their services. The following resolution will be offered by the Board of Directors at the Meeting: "RESOLVED, that the appointment of Luboshitz Kasirer, independent certified public accountants in Israel, a member firm of Ernst & Young International, to conduct the annual audit of our financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2003, and authorization for the Audit Committee and Board of Directors to fix their remuneration in accordance with the scope and nature of their services is ratified, confirmed and approved." The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the ordinary shares represented at the Meeting in person or by proxy and entitled to vote and voting thereon will be necessary for shareholder approval of the foregoing resolution. The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the foregoing resolution. CONSIDER AND RECEIVE THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Item 3 on the Proxy Card) At the Meeting, our Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2002 will be presented. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the ordinary shares represented at the Meeting in person or by proxy and entitled to vote will be necessary to consider and accept our Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2002. The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the consideration and receipt of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2002. 9 COMPENSATION FOR THE COMPANY'S OUTSIDE DIRECTORS (Item 4 on the Proxy Card) Pursuant to the Companies Law, an outside director is entitled to compensation and to reimbursement of expenses as provided in the Companies Regulations (Rules Regarding Compensation to an Outside Director), 5760-2000, or the Companies Regulations, promulgated under the Companies Law. The Companies Regulations provide that an outside director is entitled to receive from the company an annual fee and a per meeting attendance fee for his or her participation at a meeting of the board of directors or any board committee (including written resolutions, meetings of committees of the Board of Directors, or convened by our Chief Executive Officer), up to the amounts specified in the Companies Regulations. An outside director is otherwise prohibited from receiving any other consideration, directly or indirectly, in connection with his or her service as an outside director. The Israeli Companies Law requires that the terms of compensation to outside directors be approved by the Audit Committee, the Board of Directors, and thereafter, the General Meeting of Shareholders, unless such payments are determined according to the fixed amount specified in the Companies Regulations. Ms. Hava Snir and Mr. Zvi Trop were elected as our outside directors at our Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held on November 15, 2000. They served for a term of three years until this Annual General Meeting of Shareholders and have been recommended to serve as outside directors to hold office for three year terms until the 2006 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. Our Audit Committee and our Board of Directors has resolved that the outside directors shall be paid an annual fee of NIS 19,500 (approximately $4,300) and a per meeting fee of NIS 1,100 (approximately $240), which are within the limits set forth in the Companies Regulations. It is therefore proposed that at the Annual General Meeting the shareholders adopt the following resolution: "RESOLVED that the payment of directors' fees to our outside directors for their second term of service as of January 1, 2004 as approved by our company's Audit Committee and Board of Directors is hereby approved and confirmed." Under the Companies Law the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the ordinary shares represented at the Annual General Meeting in person or by proxy and entitled to vote and voting thereon will be necessary for shareholder approval of the foregoing resolution. The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the foregoing resolution. COMPENSATION FOR ONE OF OUR DIRECTORS (Item 5 on the Proxy Card) The Israeli Companies Law requires that compensation of directors, be approved by the audit committee, the board of directors, and thereafter, the General Meeting of Shareholders. Our Audit Committee and our Board of Directors has resolved that Asaf Agmon, one of our independent directors who is not employed by the Company, will be paid an annual fee of NIS 45,000 (approximately $10,000) and a per meeting fee of NIS 1,800 (approximately $400), which is the equal to the compensation previously paid to Mr. Agmon pursuant to resolution of our Audit Committee and Board of Directors and the approval of our shareholders at the Annual Shareholders Meeting which took place on December 2001. All other terms and conditions that applies under the Companies Law and the regulation promulgated pursuant thereto to the payment of compensation to our outside directors shall apply also to the compensation to be paid to Mr. Agmon. Such compensation will be paid to Mr. Agmon for his services as director of the Company during the years 2003 and 2004. It is therefore proposed that at the Annual General Meeting the shareholders adopt the following resolution: "RESOLVED that the payment of directors fees to Mr. Agmon for the years 2003 and 2004 as approved by our company's Audit Committee and Board of Directors is hereby approved and confirmed." 10 Under the Companies Law the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the ordinary shares represented at the Annual General Meeting in person or by proxy and entitled to vote and voting thereon will be necessary for shareholder approval of the foregoing resolution. The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the foregoing resolution. ADOPTION OF 2003 ISRAELI STOCK OPTION PLAN (Item 6 on the Proxy Card) In 1993, 1994, 1996 and 1999, we adopted Stock Option Plans, (providing for the grant of options to purchase up to 1,680,000 of our ordinary shares to the employees, management, officers and directors of our company and of our subsidiaries. In 2002, Section 102 of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance [New Version] 1961 was amended effective as of January 1, 2003 and our existing plans do not comply with the newly amended provisions of Section 102. Under our original plans, options to purchase 1,498,800 ordinary shares were granted, of which none were exercised and 592,000 options were waived by Messrs Azancot, and Bodinger. As of this date, 423,800 options remain outstanding and 1,253,200 options remain available for grant under the original plans. We do not intend to grant any more options under our original plans, but rather intend to roll-over the remaining options available for grant into a new plan that conforms with the newly amended provisions of Section 102. Our Audit Committee and Board of Directors have adopted, subject to shareholder ratification, a new plan, the 2003 Israeli Stock Option Plan, or ISOP, which complies with the amended Section 102 and authorizes the grant of options to purchase up to 2,000,000 ordinary shares. Employees, officers and directors of our company and its subsidiaries are eligible to participate in the ISOP. The ISOP has a term of ten years and will terminate in 2013. The provisions of our ISOP are designated to allow for the tax benefits promulgated under the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance [New Version]. Our Board of Directors has resolved that all options that will be granted to Israeli residents under the ISOP will be taxable under the "capital gains path." Pursuant to this path, the profit realized by the employee is taxed as a capital gain (25%) if the options or shares are held by a trustee for at least 24 months from the end of the tax year in which such options were granted. If the shares are sold before the elapse of said 24 month period, the profit is re-characterized as ordinary income. The company is not allowed a corresponding salary expense, even in the event the profit is taxed as ordinary income. The Board of Directors or a committee of the Board of Directors, the Committee, if appointed, will administer the ISOP. The Board of Directors or the Committee will have the full power to and authority to, subject to limitation under the terms and provisions of any applicable law and subject to changes according to the Board's decisions: o designate participants; o determine the terms and provisions of the respective option agreements (which need not be identical), including, but not limited to, provisions concerning the time and the extent to which the options may be exercised and the nature and duration of restrictions as to the transferability or restrictions constituting substantial risk of forfeiture and to cancel or suspend awards, as necessary; o determine the Purchase Price of each share subject to an option; o designate the type of options; o make an election as to the type of Approved 102 option; o alter any restrictions and conditions of any options or shares subject to any options; o interpret the provisions and supervise the administration of the ISOP; o accelerate the right of an optionee to exercise in whole or in part, any previously granted option; o determine the Purchase Price of the option; 11 o prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the ISOP; and o make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of the ISOP. The Board of Directors or the Committee may not, without the consent of the optionee, alter or in any way impair the rights of such optionee under any award previously granted. The Purchase Price of each share subject to an option will be determined by the Board of Directors or the Committee (if permissible under the Israeli Companies Law) in its sole and absolute discretion. Options are not assignable or transferable by the optionee. No option or any right with respect thereto, purchasable hereunder, whether fully paid or not, may be assignable, transferable or given as collateral or any right with respect to it given to any third party whatsoever, except as specifically allowed under the ISOP, and during the lifetime of the optionee each optionee's rights to purchase shares may only be exercised by the optionee. Generally, an option may be exercised as long as the optionee is employed by, or providing services to, the company or any of its affiliates, to the extent the options have vested. The Board of Directors believes that the approval of the ISOP at this Meeting will (i) provide us with the means to attract and retain talented personnel; (ii) result in saving cash, which would otherwise be required to maintain the current employees, officers and directors and attract and adequately reward additional employees, officers and directors; and (iii) enable us to remain competitive in our industry. It is therefore proposed that at the Annual General Meeting the shareholders adopt the following resolution: "RESOLVED, the 2003 Israeli Stock Option Plan authorizing the grant of options to purchase up to 1,234,000 ordinary shares, par value NIS 0.005 per share, be and is hereby adopted and approved." Under the Companies Law the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the ordinary shares represented at the Meeting in person or by proxy and entitled to vote and voting thereon will be necessary for shareholder approval of the foregoing resolution. The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the foregoing resolution. GRANT OF 584,000 OPTIONS TO OUR DIRECTORS (Item 7 on the Proxy Card) The Israeli Companies Law requires that the terms of compensation of directors, be approved by the audit committee, the board of directors, and thereafter, the General Meeting of Shareholders. The majority of our independent directors do not receive any directors' fees, and we do not reimburse them for expenses incurred by them in connection with their services as members of our Board of Directors. In consideration for their valuable contributions to our company and in order to provide them with an incentive to continue to contribute to the development and promotion of our business, our Audit Committee and Board of Directors approved, subject to shareholder ratification, the grant under the 2003 Israeli Stock Option Plan, of options to purchase a total of 584,000 ordinary shares to four of our directors of which 252,000 options were granted to Mr. Adrian Berg, 172,000 options were granted to Mr. Roy Chan and 80,000 options were granted to each of Messrs. Asaf Agmon and Benzion Gruber. The exercise price of the options granted to the directors is $1.34. The options will terminate on October 30, 2013 and will vest over three years commencing on January 1, 2003.. 33 1/3% will vest after one year and the remainder (66 2/3%) will vest over eight equal quarterly installments. It is therefore proposed that at the Annual General Meeting the shareholders adopt the following resolution: "RESOLVED, that the grant of 584,000 stock options to four of our directors is hereby ratified, adopted and approved." Under the Companies Law the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the ordinary shares represented at the Meeting in person or by proxy and entitled to vote and voting thereon will be necessary for shareholder approval of the foregoing resolution. 12 The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the foregoing resolution.
