REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
To the shareholders of
SCITEX CORPORATION LTD.
We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Scitex Corporation Ltd. (the
"Company") and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and 1997 and the related
consolidated statements of income (loss), changes in shareholders' equity and
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's Board of
Directors and management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, including those prescribed by the Israeli Auditors (Mode of
Performance) Regulations, 1973. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement, either due to error or to intentional
misrepresentation. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by the Company's Board of Directors and management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide
a fair basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the aforementioned financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company and its
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and 1997 and the results of their
operations, the changes in shareholders' equity and their cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 -SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The significant accounting policies, applied on a consistent basis,
are as follows:
a. GENERAL
1) Nature of operations
Scitex Corporation Ltd. (the "Company") is an Israeli
corporation which designs, manufactures and markets
digital visual information communication systems for the
digital preprint and digital printing markets.
2) Functional currency
The currency of the primary economic environment in
which the operations of the Company and most of its
subsidiaries are conducted is the U.S. dollar ("dollar"
or "$"); thus, the dollar is the functional currency of
the Company and most of its subsidiaries.
For the Company and those subsidiaries whose functional
currency is the dollar, transactions and balances
denominated in dollars are presented at their original
amounts. Balances in non-dollar currencies are
translated into dollars using historical and current
exchange rates for non-monetary and monetary balances,
respectively. For non-dollar transactions reflected in
the statements of operations, the exchange rates at
transaction dates are used, except for expenses deriving
from non-monetary items, which are translated using
historical exchange rates. The currency transaction
gains or losses are carried to financial income or
expenses, as appropriate.
The financial statements of certain subsidiaries and
entities in which the Company has an equity investment,
whose functional currency is their local currency, are
translated into dollars in accordance with the
principles set forth in Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard ("FAS") No. 52 of the Financial
Accounting Standards Board of the United States ("FASB")
- "Foreign Currency Translation": assets and liabilities
are translated using the year-end rate of exchange;
results of operations are translated at average exchange
rates during the year. The resulting aggregate
translation adjustments are reported as a component of
"accumulated other comprehensive income".

SCITEX CORPORATION LTD.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):
3) Use of estimates in the preparation of financial
statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP")
requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting years. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
4) Accounting principles
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in
accordance with US GAAP.
b. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are
wholly-owned. Intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.
c. CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company and its subsidiaries consider all highly liquid
debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or
less, at time of investment, that are not restricted as to
withdrawal or use, to be cash equivalents. Bank deposits with
a maturity of more than three months but less than one year
(from the date of deposit) are included in short-term
investments.
d. INVESTMENTS IN MARKETABLE SECURITIES
Marketable securities, classified as "trading securities", are
stated at market value and are included under "short-term
investments". The changes in market value of these securities
are carried to financial income or expenses.
As of December 31, 1997, an investment in quoted shares of a
company, classified as "available for sale securities", was
stated at market value and included under "investments and
other non-current assets". The difference between the market
value of these shares and their cost was recorded as a
separate component of shareholders' equity, under
comprehensive income (loss). As to the Company's decision, in
1998, to dispose of this investment, see note 4(b).

NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):
e. INVENTORIES
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is
determined as follows: components and supplies - on the moving
average basis; labor and overhead - on the basis of actual
manufacturing costs.
f. EQUITY INVESTMENTS
These investments are accounted for by the equity method.
g. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
These assets are stated at cost and are depreciated by the
straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.
Annual rates of depreciation are as follows:
%
--------
Machinery and equipment 10-33 (mainly 20)
Building 4
Office furniture and equipment 6-33 (mainly 20)
Motor vehicles 15-25 (mainly 15)
Leasehold improvements are amortized by the straight-line
method over the term of the lease or the estimated useful life
of the improvements, whichever is shorter.
h. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill, representing the difference between the cost of the
investment in subsidiaries and the fair value of their
underlying net assets at the time of acquisition, and acquired
goodwill, are amortized by the straight-line method over a
period of 7-15 years.
Acquired technology and other intangible assets are stated at
cost and amortized by the straight-line method over a period
of 3-13 years (mainly 5-7 years).

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):
i. RECOGNITION OF REVENUES:
1) Sale of products
The Company recognizes revenue from sale of its products
upon shipment. Cost of sales includes an estimate of
costs associated with installation, warranty and
training.
2) Service revenue
Service revenue is recognized ratably over the
contractual period or as services are performed.
3) Sale of supplies
The Company recognizes revenue from sale of supplies
upon shipment.
j. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS
Research and development costs are charged as expense as
incurred. Government funding for development of approved
projects is recognized as a reduction of expenses as the
related costs are incurred.
k. ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS
The allowance is partly determined for specific accounts
doubtful of collection and partly based on statistical
analysis of past experience.
l. INCOME TAXES
1) Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary
differences between the assets and liabilities as
measured in the financial statements and for tax
purposes. Deferred taxes are computed using the tax
rates expected to be in effect when these differences
reverse.
2) The Company may incur an additional tax liability in
the event of an intercompany dividend distribution; no
additional tax has been provided, since the Company
does not intend to distribute, in the foreseeable
future, dividends which would result in additional tax
liability.
3) Taxes which would apply in the event of disposal of
investments in subsidiaries and other investees have
not been taken into account in computing the deferred
taxes, as it is the Company's policy to hold these
investments, not to realize them.

SCITEX CORPORATION LTD.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):
4) Upon the distribution of dividends from the tax-exempt
income of "approved enterprises" (see also note 12a),
the amount distributed will be subject to tax at the
rate that would have been applicable had the Company not
been exempted from payment thereof. If such distribution
is made, the amount of the related tax is to be charged
as an expense in the income statements. The Company
intends to permanently reinvest the amounts of tax
exempt income and it does not intend to cause
distribution of such dividends. Therefore, no deferred
income taxes have been provided in respect of such
tax-exempt income.
m. DERIVATIVES
The Company enters into forward exchange contracts and
purchases and writes currency options to hedge existing
non-dollar assets and liabilities as well as certain firm
commitments. The written options are part of the hedging
policy. The Company also purchases currency options to hedge
anticipated sales for the coming year, which are probable and
which are expected to be denominated in non-dollar currencies.
The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial
instruments for trading purposes.
All of the Company's foreign exchange derivatives are
designated as, and effective as, a hedge. A derivative is
qualified as a hedge if: (1) the item to be hedged exposes the
Company to a risk, (2) the related derivative reduces that
exposure and is inversely correlated to the hedged item, and
(3) the derivative is designated at inception for hedging
purposes.
Gains and losses on derivatives that are hedging existing
assets or liabilities are recognized in income commensurate
with the results from those assets or liabilities; balances
receivable or payable in respect of such derivatives are
included in the balance sheets among other accounts receivable
or payable, as appropriate. Gains and losses related to
derivatives that are hedging firm commitments or anticipated
sales are deferred, and ultimately recognized in income as
part of the measurement of the results of the underlying
hedged transactions. Cash flows from derivatives are
recognized in the statements of cash flows together with
results from the hedged item.
The net premiums paid for currency options are presented in
the balance sheets among prepaid expenses and charged to
financial expenses over the term of the options.

NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
n. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE ("EPS")
EPS are computed based on the weighted average number of
shares outstanding during each year.
Since the basic EPS for 1998 and 1996 represents loss per
share, the effect of including the incremental shares from
assumed exercise of options in the EPS computation is
anti-dilutive, and accordingly, the basic and diluted EPS for
these years are the same amount.
o. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
In 1998, the Company adopted FAS No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income", ("FAS 130"), which was issued in June
1997 by the FASB.
FAS 130 requires the reporting and display of comprehensive
income and its components in a full set of general purpose
financial statements. In addition to net income (loss),
comprehensive income or loss includes all non-owner changes in
equity ("other comprehensive income") which, as applicable to
the Company, include currency translation adjustments and
unrealized loss on marketable securities available for sale.
The company presents its comprehensive income (loss) in the
consolidated statements of changes in shareholders equity.
p. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
When indicators of impairment are present, the Company
evaluates the realizability of goodwill and other intangible
assets and the appropriateness of their amortization periods
in relation to the operating performances and estimated future
undiscounted cash flows of the underlying assets.
q. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
In June 1998, the FASB issued FAS No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("FAS 133").
FAS 133 established a new model for accounting for derivatives
and hedging activities. FAS 133 requires companies to record
derivatives on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities,
measured at fair value. Gains or losses resulting from changes
in the values of those derivatives would be accounted for
depending on the use of the derivative and whether it
qualifies for hedge accounting. FAS 133 is effective for
calendar-year companies as from January 1, 2000.
The Company is currently evaluating the impact FAS 133 will
have on its financial statements.
r. RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to be
consistent with the current year presentation.

NOTE 2 - ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSAL OF A BUSINESS:
a. ACQUISITIONS:
1) In February 1998, the Company acquired all of the
shares of Idanit Technologies Ltd., an Israeli
corporation which designs and manufactures wide
format ink jet printing systems, for an aggregate
cash consideration of $ 63,039,000 in cash
(including $ 339,000 - costs related to the
acquisition). The acquisition was accounted for by
the purchase method . The amounts carried to
assets and liabilities in respect of the
acquisition were based on the fair values of the
assets and liabilities acquired on the date of
acquisition. Idanit's Net income for 1998 of
$165,000 is included in the 1998 consolidated
statement of loss from the date of acquisition.
An amount $ 44,264,000 out of the total
acquisition cost was attributed to in-process
research and development and resulted in a one
time non-cash charge. An amount of $ 16,645,000
was attributed to goodwill and other intangible
assets and is being amortized over their estimated
useful lives.
At the time of the acquisition, Idanit had two
products under development: 163Ad and Flatbed,
which were both mostly completed but had not
reached technological feasibility, and had no
future alternative use the valuation assumed that
approximately $ 5,000,000 of development costs
would be incurred from the acquisition date
through their scheduled completion in December
1998 and June 1999, respectively. The valuation
also assumed that these products would generate
revenues through the year 2004.
The inability of Idanit to complete this
technology within the expected timeframes could
materially impact future revenues and earnings,
which could have an adverse material effect on the
Company's business, financial condition and
results of operations.
2) In October 1998, the Company acquired the
superwide activities of the Matan group of
companies for an aggregate cash consideration of
$12,247,000 (including $152,000-costs related to
the acquisition). This amount is included under
"acquired goodwill and other intangible assets"
and is being amortized over its estimated useful
life. The agreement provides for additional
payments up to a maximum of $14.5 million, based
on the achievement on specified financial targets
during the period 1999 to 2004.
b. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS - DISPOSAL OF A BUSINESS
In November 1998, the Company decided to exit from the
digital video business. The digital video business of the
Company was comprised of the operations of the wholly owned
subsidiary Scitex Digital Video ("SDV") and an investment
in quoted shares which was classified as "available for
sale securities" (see also note 4(b)). As a result of the
decision, the Company recognized a loss from the disposal
amounting to $62,704,000, which is presented in the
statement of loss for 1998 under "discontinued operations".
This amount is comprised of $49,685,000 in respect of the
loss from the disposal of SDV, and $13,019,000 representing
the accumulated unrealized loss on available for sale
shares which was expensed. In December 1998, substantially
all of the assets and liabilities of SDV were sold.

NOTE 8 - EMPLOYEE RIGHTS UPON RETIREMENT:
a. Virtually the entire liability for severance pay for Israeli
employees, pursuant to Israeli law and employment agreements, is
funded with severance pay and pension funds and with insurance
companies (principally with an affiliate of two of the major
shareholders of the Company), for which the Company makes monthly
payments. Since the control and management of these funds is
independent of the Company, the amounts funded are not reflected in
the balance sheets. The amounts not funded are included among accrued
liabilities.
b. The U.S. subsidiaries offer 401(k) matching plans to all eligible
employees. The U.S. subsidiaries' matching contribution ranges from
50% to 200% of the first 3% of a participant's contribution, depending
upon years of service, up to a maximum employer contribution of 6% of
a participant's qualifying earnings.
c. Substantially all of the European subsidiaries make contributions to
pension plans administered by insurance companies. Since the control
and management of these funds are independent of the European
subsidiaries, the amounts funded are not included in the balance
sheets. The amounts not funded are included among accrued liabilities.
d. Severance pay, pension and defined contribution plan expenses totaled
$9,236,000 $9,587,000 and $15,772,000 in 1998, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. In addition, employee termination benefits in the amount
of $18,000,000 in 1996 were included in restructuring costs (see note
11).
NOTE 9 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES:
a. Commitments:
1) Royalty commitments:
(a) The Company is committed to pay royalties of 2%-5% to the
Government of Israel on sales of products in the research
and development of which the Government participates by way
of grants, up to the amount of the grants received (in
dollar terms); for certain projects, which were approved
prior to January1, 1994, the limit is up to 100% of the
grants received. At the time the funding was received,
successful development of the related projects was not
assured.
At December 31, 1998, the maximum contingent royalty payable
is $46 million.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
NOTE 9 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (continued):
(b) The Company is obligated to pay royalties to certain
parties, based on agreements which allow it to use
technologies developed by these parties. Such royalties are
based on the revenues from sales of products which
incorporate these technologies or on quantities of such
products sold.
2) Lease commitments
Most of the premises occupied by the Company and its subsidiaries
are rented under various operating lease agreements. Most of the
premises in Israel are leased from an affiliate of two of the
major shareholders of the Company.
Minimum lease commitments of the Company and its subsidiaries
under the above leases (net of amounts provided in "accrued
restructuring costs") at rates in effect in December 1998, are as
follows:

the Israeli consumer price index (the Israeli CPI), and partially to the dollar.
Rental expense totaled $12,408,000, $11,778,000 and $14,899,000 in 1998, 1997
and 1996, respectively; in 1996, an additional amount of $9,600,000 was included
in restructuring costs (see note 11).

NOTE 9 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (continued):
b. Contingent liabilities:
1) Certain subsidiaries of the Company have entered into
agreements with third-party financing companies (hereafter -
the agreements) under which long-term financing (generally
five years) is provided to customers in connection with the
purchase of the Company's equipment.
Under the terms of the agreements, the third-party financing
companies have recourse against the subsidiaries in an
amount equal to either a fixed amount established at the
time of financing or a percentage of the outstanding
balance, including interest, owed by the customers to the
financing company.
During the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996,
approximately $20,904,000 $38,300,000 and $90,500,000,
respectively, of revenues were financed under these
agreements. At December 31, 1998, the subsidiaries were
contingently liable to the financing companies for a portion
of the total of the outstanding balance of $70 million.
The subsidiaries have established provisions ($6,680,000 and
$15,354,000 at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively) for
potential losses which may be incurred in the event of
default under the agreements. The level of provisions is
determined based upon an analysis of the individual
transactions and past experience.
2) In September 1996, an action was commenced in the United
States District Court of the Northern District of California
to invalidate certain of the Company's patents relating to
its core trapping technology. The action was later expanded
to include claims that certain company products infringe
patents of the plaintiffs. The Company is vigorously
defending the claims presented in the action and has itself
filed counterclaims against the plaintiffs for infringement
of the trapping patents. The suit is continuing; however,
the parties are engaged in a mediation process. If the
mediation fails to produce a settlement, trial of the
lawsuit will take place most likely in the latter part of
1999.
3) Lawsuits have been lodged against the Company in the
ordinary course of business. The Company intends to defend
itself vigorously against those lawsuits. Management does
not expect that the Company will incur substantial expenses
in respect thereof; therefore, no provision has been made
for the lawsuits.

NOTE 10 - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY:
a. Share capital
The number of shares stated as issued and outstanding at December 31,
1997 (42,808,518 ordinary shares) did not include 43,950 unpaid
ordinary shares which were allotted to a trustee in the implementation
of a share option plan. These shares, until paid, had no voting rights
or rights to cash dividends and accordingly were not treated as
outstanding for accounting purposes.
b. Share incentive and stock option plans (the "plans"):
1) The Company has two current share incentive and stock option
plans- the Scitex Israel Key Employee Share Incentive Plan 1991
(with various sub-plans), mainly for officers and other key
employees of the Company, and the Scitex International Key
Employee Stock Option Plan 1991 (As Amended, 1995), for officers
and other key employees of non-Israeli subsidiaries. Option
awards may be granted under the plans up to September2001. The
maximum term of an option may not exceed ten years. Each option
can be exercised to purchase one share having the same rights as
the other ordinary shares.
The grant of options under the Israeli plan is subject to the
terms stipulated by the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance. Inter alia,
the Ordinance provides that the Company will be allowed to claim
as an expense for tax purposes the amounts credited to the
employees as a benefit, when the related tax is payable by the
employee.

NOTE 10 - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY (continued):
5) Accounting treatment of share incentive and stock option plans
The Company accounts for its share incentive and stock option
plans (the plans) using the treatment prescribed by Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees (APB 25). Under APB 25, compensation cost for employee
stock option plans is measured using the intrinsic value based
method of accounting.
FAS No.123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation"
("FAS 123"), which was issued by the FASB in October 1995,
established a fair value based method of accounting for an
employee stock option or similar equity instrument, and
encourages adoption of such method of accounting for stock
compensation plans. However, it also allows companies to continue
to account for those plans using the accounting treatment
prescribed by APB25. The Company has elected to continue applying
the provisions of APB25, and has accordingly complied with the
disclosure requirements set forth in FAS 123 for companies
electing to apply APB 25.
The compensation income - which reflects the reversal of
compensation cost charged to income in earlier years in respect
of employee stock options due to forfeiture, net of compensation
cost in respect of the current year - in the years ended December
31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, is $65,000, $1,299,000 and $1,314,000,
respectively. Had compensation for the Company's plans been
determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards
made under the Plans in 1995, and thereafter, consistent with the
method of FAS123, the Company's net income (loss), and earnings
(loss) per share, would have been changed to the pro-forma
amounts indicated below:

c. RETAINED EARNINGS
The distribution of cash dividends in the amount of approximately
$17,173,000 out of retained earnings of $33,649,000 as of
December 31, 1998 would subject the Company to payment of 15% or
20% tax on the amount distributed, effectively reducing the
dividend distribution by the amount of the tax (see also
notes 11(4) and 12a(1)).
NOTE 11 - RESTRUCTURING COSTS
In 1996 and 1995, the Company recorded restructuring charges of
$56.1million and $22.0million, respectively. The restructuring consisted of
a series of actions to address changes in market conditions and was aimed
at restoring the Company to profitability. The 1995 restructuring charge
primarily involved a workforce reduction of approximately 250 employees.
The 1996 charge consisted of a workforce reduction of approximately
400 employees (mainly in the U.S., Europe and Israel), the closing of
certain facilities in the U.S. and Europe and the disposition of assets
that were no longer required due to changes in plans. In addition, goodwill
impairment was recognized for the effect of decisions regarding certain
product lines.
The components of the 1996 restructuring charges are as follows:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
NOTE 12 - TAXES ON INCOME:
a. The Company and its Israeli subsidiaries:
1) Tax benefits under the Law for the Encouragement of Capital
Investments, 1959
The Company's production facilities in Israel have been
granted "approved enterprise" status under the above law.
The main benefit arising from such status is the reduction
in tax rates on income derived from "approved enterprises".
The Company is also a "foreign investors' company" as
defined by that law and as such is entitled to a ten-year
period of benefits and to an additional reduction in tax
rates to 15% or 20% (based on the percentage of foreign
shareholding in each tax year).
For "approved enterprises", income derived therefrom is tax
exempt for a period of two or four years out of the ten-year
period of benefits. Based on the percentage of foreign
shareholding in the Company, income derived during the
remaining eight or six years of benefits is taxable at the
rate of 15% or 20%. The period of benefits relating to the
"approved enterprises" will expire in the years 1999 through
2008.
In the event of distribution of cash dividends from income
which was tax exempt as described above, the Company would
have to pay the 15% or 20% tax in respect of the amount
distributed.
The entitlement to the above benefits is conditional upon
the Company's fulfilling the conditions stipulated by the
above law, regulations published thereunder and the
certificates of approval for the specific investments in
"approved enterprises". In the event of failure to comply
with these conditions, the benefits may be cancelled and the
Company may be required to refund the amount of the
benefits, in whole or in part, with the addition of linkage
differences and interest.
2) Measurement of results for tax purposes under the Income Tax
(Inflationary Adjustments) Law, 1985 (hereafter - the
Inflationary Adjustments Law)
Under this law, results for tax purposes are measured in
real terms, in accordance with the changes in the Israeli
CPI, or in the exchange rate of the dollar for a "foreign
investors company". The Company and its Israeli subsidiaries
elected to measure their results on the basis of the changes
in the Israeli CPI.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
NOTE 12 - TAXES ON INCOME (continued):
3) Tax benefits under the Law for the Encouragement of Industry
(Taxes), 1969
The Company is an "industrial company" as defined by this law and
as such is entitled to certain tax benefits, mainly accelerated
depreciation of machinery and equipment, as prescribed by
regulations published under the Inflationary Adjustments Law, and
the right to claim public issuance expenses and amortization of
patents and other intangible property rights as a deduction for
tax purposes.
4) Tax rates applicable in Israel to income from other sources
Income not eligible for "approved enterprise" benefits mentioned
in (1) above is taxed at the regular rate of 36%.
b. NON-ISRAELI SUBSIDIARIES
The U.S. subsidiaries file a consolidated tax return for federal
purposes and in most states. Therefore, the tax provision is
calculated on a consolidated tax return basis.
c. CARRYFORWARD TAX LOSSES AND DEDUCTIONS
Carryforward tax losses and deductions of the Company and its
subsidiaries approximated $250 million at December31, 1998. Most of
the carryforward amounts have no expiration date.

g. TAX AUDITS
The Company has received final tax assessments through the 1991 tax
year.
The audits of the tax returns of the U.S. subsidiaries and the main
European subsidiary have been completed through the 1991 and 1995 tax
years, respectively.
NOTE 13 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT:
a. GENERAL
The Company operates internationally, which gives rise to significant
exposure to market risks, mainly from changes in foreign exchange
rates. Derivative financial instruments (hereafter - derivatives) are
utilized by the Company to reduce these risks.
The Company is exposed to losses in the event of non-performance by
counterparties to the derivatives, but it does not expect any
counterparties to fail to meet their obligations, since the
counterparties are major Israeli and European banks and major U.S.
brokers. The Company does not require or place collaterals for these
financial instruments.
b. FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK MANAGEMENT
As stated in note 1m, the Company uses foreign currency derivatives
for hedging purposes. The terms of these derivatives are shorter than
one year.
The amounts relating to foreign currency derivatives as of the balance
sheet dates are as follows:

NOTE 13 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (continued):
c. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
At December 31, 1998 and 1997, the Company held cash and cash
equivalents, most of which were deposited with major Israeli, European
and U.S. banks. Most of the marketable securities held by the Company
are debt securities of the U.S. Treasury, the Government of Israel and
highly rated corporations. The company considers the inherent credit
risks to be remote.
Most of the Company's sales are made in the United States and in
Europe, to a large number of customers. Consequently, the exposure to
concentrations of credit risks relating to individual customer
receivables is limited. The Company performs ongoing credit
evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral
from its customers in Europe and in the United States. In respect of
certain sales to customers in emerging economies, the Company requires
letters of credit.
d. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The financial instruments of the Company and its subsidiaries consist
mainly of non-derivative assets and liabilities (items included in
working capital, long-term investments, non-current receivables and
long-term liabilities); the Company also uses some derivatives.
In view of their nature, the fair value of the financial instruments
included in working capital is usually identical or close to their
carrying amount. The fair value of non-current receivables, long-term
investments and long-term liabilities also approximates their carrying
value, since they bear interest at rates close to the prevailing
market rates.
The fair value and the carrying amount of derivatives at December 31,
1998 and 1997 is approximately a liability of $ 3.3 million and $3.7
million, respectively. The fair value of the derivatives generally
reflects the estimated amounts that the Company would receive or pay
upon termination of the contracts at the reporting dates.
