     Unless otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 11 to
Schedule 13D, capitalized items used in this Amendment No.
11 are defined in Amendment No. 10 to this Statement on
Schedule 13D, as previously filed.

     The following amends Items 2 and 7 of this Statement on
Schedule 13D, as previously filed.

Item 2.   Identity and Background.
          ------------------------

     Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement dated as of January
4, 1994 among the Issuer, Holdings and IDB Development, on
March 24, 1994, Holdings transferred 13,193,592 Shares to
the Issuer in exchange for an identical number of Shares
issued by the Issuer.  Following the exchange, Holdings
dissolved and distributed to IDB Development the newly
issued Shares, as a result of which IDB Development's
ownership of the Shares is now held directly, rather than
through Holdings.  The transaction had no effect on the
number of Shares outstanding.  As a result of the
transaction, the Issuer holds 13,193,592 Shares as treasury
shares.

     On February 16, 1994, following a lengthy trial in the
District Court of Jerusalem, State of Israel, the four
largest banks in that country, including Israel Discount
Bank Limited ("IDBL"), and its former parent IDB Holding,
and members of their senior management were found guilty, in
connection with acts that occurred prior to October 1983, of
engaging in fraudulent securities transactions and making
false statements within the meaning of certain provisions of
that country's banking, securities and other laws.  The
violations involve activities, which terminated in October
1983, relating to shares of these Israeli institutions.  Mr.
Raphael Recanati who is Chairman of the Board of IDB Holding
and was chief executive officer of IDBL is among the
defendants found guilty.  Mr. Recanati received a sentence
of eight months and a suspended sentence of two years, both
of which were stayed pending the outcome of an appeal
referred to below.  Mr. Recanati was also fined
approximately $200,000 and IDB Holding was fined
approximately $334,000.  Mr. Recanati and IDB Holding have
categorically denied any wrongdoing and are appealing to the
Supreme Court of Israel.  None of the activities in question
relate to or involve the Issuer or its business in any way.

     Mr. Eliahu Cohen, who is Joint Managing Director of IDB
Holding, and Mr. Oudi Recanati, who is a Director of IDB
Holding, were members of senior management of IDBL, and were

also found guilty in the foregoing proceeding.  Mr. Oudi Recanati
received a suspended sentence of 18 months and was fined
approximately $134,000; he has categorically denied any wrongdoing.
Mr. Cohen received a sentence of six months, a suspended sentence of
two years and was fined approximately $167,000.  Mr. Cohen
has categorically denied any wrongdoing and is appealing to
the Supreme Court of Israel; his sentence has been stayed
pending the outcome of the appeal.

     Except as indicated above, none of the Reporting
Persons, and none of the executive officers and directors of
IDB Holding and IDB Development, has, during the last five
years, been convicted in any criminal proceedings, excluding
traffic violations and similar misdemeanors.

Item 7.   Material Filed as Exhibits.
          ---------------------------

1.  Exchange Agreement dated as of January 4, 1994 among the
Issuer, Holdings and IDB Development, filed as Exhibit
10(i)(l) to the Issuer's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1993 and incorporated herein
by reference.
