The Company currently is not aware of any other matters which will come before
the Meeting. If any other matters properly come before the Meeting, the persons
designated as proxies intend to vote in accordance with their judgment on such
matters.

A form of proxy for use at the Meeting and a return envelope for the proxy are
also enclosed. Shareholders may revoke the authority granted by their execution
of proxies at any time before the effective exercise thereof by filing with the
Company a written notice of revocation or duly executed proxy bearing a later
date, or by voting in person at the Meeting. Unless otherwise indicated on the
form of proxy, shares represented by any proxy in the enclosed form, if the
proxy is properly executed and received by the Company prior to the time fixed
for the Meeting, will be voted in favor of all the matters to be presented to
the Meeting, as described above. On all matters considered at the Meeting,
abstentions and broker non-votes will be treated as neither a vote "for" nor
"against" the matter, although they will be counted in determining if a quorum
is present.

Proxies for use at the Meeting are being solicited by the Board of Directors of
the Company. Only shareholders of record at the close of business on November
30, 2000 will be entitled to vote at the Meeting. Proxies are being mailed to
shareholders on or about November 30, 2000, and will be solicited chiefly by
mail; however, certain officers, directors, employees and agents of the Company,
none of whom will receive additional compensation therefor, may solicit proxies
by telephone, telegram or other personal contact. The Company will bear the cost
for the solicitation of the proxies, including postage, printing and handling,
and will reimburse the reasonable expenses of brokerage firms and others for
forwarding material to beneficial owners of Ordinary Shares.

The Company had outstanding on November 30, 2000, 22,096,002 Ordinary Shares,

     held by certain of the directors and officers of the Company, and does not
     include options to be granted pursuant to Item 2 below.

                         ITEM 1--ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The number of directors who presently serve as members of the Board of Directors
is five, of whom two are considered independent directors under the Nasdaq
Rules. According to the Nasdaq Rules, an additional independent director must be
appointed. Management recommends Ms. Ricki Granot as a nominee to be elected to
the Board of Directors at this Meeting. Additionally, the Board of Directors has
appointed Mr. Eran Bendoly to fill the vacancy on the Board of Directors created
by the resignation of Mr. Dror Hurwitz. Mr. Bendoly has served on the Board
since November 20, 2000 following the resignation of Mr. Hurwitz. The approval
of the Company's shareholders is required under the Company's Articles for the
appointment of Mr. Bendoly to the Board.

It is intended that proxies (other than those directing the proxy holders to
vote against the listed nominees or to abstain) will be voted for the election
of Ms. Ricki Granot to serve as an independent director of the Company and for
the appointment of Mr. Eran Bendoly to the Board of Directors. Each of the
nominees shall hold office until the conclusion of the next Annual General
Meeting, unless the office is earlier vacated under any relevant provision of
the Articles of the Company.

The affirmative vote of a majority of the Ordinary Shares represented at the
Meeting in person or by proxy is required to elect Ms. Granot and to reelect Mr.
Bendoly as directors of the Company.

In the event that either of the nominees should be unable to serve, the proxies
will be voted for the election of such other person as shall be determined by
the persons named in the proxy in accordance with their best judgment. The
Company is not aware of any reason why either of the nominees, if elected,
should be unable to serve as a director. The Company does not have any
understanding or agreement with respect to the future election of either of the
nominees.

Ricki Granot presently serves as the manager of the Haifa branch of Ofek
Securities and is a member of the general investments committee at Ofek
Securities. Ms. Granot holds a B.A. degree in economics

                                       3
<PAGE>
and business administration from Haifa University, and a masters degree in
business administration from the Technion. Ms. Granot also holds an investment
portfolio management license.

Eran Bendoly has served on the Company's Board of Directors since November 20,
2000, following the resignation of Dror Hurwitz from the Board of Directors. Mr.
Bendoly presently serves as chief financial officer and vice president of
finance and operations of Novanet Semiconductor Ltd. Mr. Bendoly holds a B.A.
degree in international business management and marketing from the Hebrew
University and a masters degree in business administration and international
relations from KU Leuven in Belgium.

The Articles of the Company provide that a director may appoint another person
who is qualified to serve as a director and who is not serving as a director at
such time to serve as his alternate, with all the rights and obligations of the
appointing director, except the right to appoint a further alternate. The
alternate director may not act at any meeting at which the director appointing
him is present. The tenure of the alternate director expires upon the expiration
or termination of the appointing director. The appointment of an alternate
director does not negate the responsibility of the appointing director, and his
responsibility shall remain in effect, taking into consideration the
circumstances under which the alternate director was appointed and the length of
the alternate's term of office. To date, no appointment of alternates has been
made by the directors of the Company.

In addition, the Articles of the Company provide that the Board of Directors may
delegate its powers to one or more committees of the Board, subject to the
Companies Law 5759 - 1999 (the "COMPANIES LAW") and to the limitations and
restrictions that the Board may from time to time prescribe.

                    ITEM 2--APPROVAL OF COMPENSATION OF AND
                           MODIFICATION OF EMPLOYMENT
                   STRUCTURES OF CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND

The approval of the shareholders of the Company is required for the approval of
the compensation packages of Messrs. Amit and Stern under the Companies Law,
since, together with a third party, they may be deemed to control the Company.

The Company's Audit Committee and Board of Directors have further approved (with
Messrs. Amit and Stern not participating), subject to the approval of the
shareholders of the Company, the modification of the employment structures of
the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Rafi Amit, and the Company's Chief
Financial Officer, Mr. Yotam Stern, including the termination of a management
services agreement with PCB Ltd. ("PCB") and a corresponding adjustment to be
made to each such Officer's compensation, until December 31, 2001.

In accordance with the current management services agreement with PCB, the
Company renders to PCB the management services of Messrs. Amit and Stern for up
to 25% of each of their time, and PCB pays the Company, on a monthly basis, a
percentage of the compensation costs with respect to the employment of Messrs.
Amit and Stern, calculated on the basis of the actual time spent in rendering
those services. In accordance with the resolution, if approved and subject to
PCB's approval, the Company would terminate the employment services agreement.
Messrs. Amit and Stern will work for the Company 80% and 75% of their time,
respectively, and may enter into separate agreements with the other PCB
entities.

If this resolution is approved, Messrs. Amit and Stern's salaries at the Company
will be adjusted. Mr. Amit will receive 80% of a full time salary and Mr. Stern
will receive 75% of a full time salary.

approval of the shareholders, a resolution to increase the maximum number of
shares reserved for issuance under the Plan from 100,000 to 200,000 Ordinary

In addition, the Company's Board of Directors adopted, on November 8, 2000,

           shares issuable under the Company's U.S. Incentive Stock

           Directors be, and the same hereby is, approved. It is
           further RESOLVED that the amendment to the exercise period
           set forth in the Company's Incentive Stock Option Plan as
           determined by the Company's Board of Directors be, and the
           same hereby is, approved."

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power
represented at the Meeting in person or by proxy is necessary for approval of
