                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF FIBRONICS LTD.

We have audited the combined balance sheets of the Fibronics Ltd. Group (the
"Group") as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related combined statements
of operations and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1995. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Group's 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
in Israel and in the United States, including those prescribed by the Auditor's
(Mode of Performance) Regulations (Israel), 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. 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 management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the combined financial position of the Group as of
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the combined results of their operations and
their combined cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1995 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
Israel and in the United States (as applicable to the financial statements of
the Group, such principles are practically identical).

                 NOTES TO THE COMBINED STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS
                          In thousands of U.S. dollars



NOTE 1 - GENERAL

         A.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

              The combined financial statements of the Fibronics Ltd. Group (the
              "Group") comprise the accounts of the following companies which
              commencing in 1994 are, directly and indirectly, wholly-owned
              subsidiaries of Elbit Ltd. ("Elbit").

                   -  Fibronics Ltd. (the "Company") and its marketing
                      subsidiaries (principally in the United Kingdom and in
                      Germany).

                   -  Fibronics International Inc. (marketing company in the
                      U.S.)

              Material intercompany balances and transaction among the companies
              in the Group have been eliminated in the combined financial
              statements.

         B.   The Group is engaged in the development, manufacture and
              international marketing of high-speed information transfer and
              distribution systems. The term "affiliated company", as used in
              these financial statements, refers to affiliates of Elbit, and its
              principal shareholder, Elron Electronic Industries Ltd. ("Elron").

         C.   The Group incurred significant losses from operations in previous
              years resulting in a shareholders' deficiency of approximately
              $6,977 as of December 31, 1995. Elbit has made a commitment that
              it will assist the Group in meeting its working capital needs for
              1996 in order to enable the Group to continue operations.

         D.   The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in U.S.
              dollars, as the currency of the primary economic environment in
              which the operations of the Group are conducted is the U.S.
              dollar. The majority of the Group's sales are made outside Israel
              in non-Israeli currencies (mainly the U.S. dollar), as are the
              majority of purchases of materials and components. Thus, the
              functional currency of the Group is the U.S. dollar.

              Transactions and balances originally denominated in U.S. dollars
              are presented at their original amounts. Transactions and balances
              in other currencies are remeasured into U.S. dollars in accordance
              with principles identical to those prescribed in Statement No. 52
              of the Financial Accounting Standards Board of the United States
              (FASB). Exchange gains and losses from the aforementioned
              remeasurement are reflected in the statement of operations.

                          In thousands of U.S. dollars


NOTE 1 - GENERAL (CONT.)

         E.   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
              generally accepted accounting principles 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 date of the financial statements and the
              reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
              period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

         F.   REORGANIZATION OF ELBIT

              In December 1995, Elbit announced that its Board of Directors
              approved in principle the exploration of a strategic split of
              Elbit's business segments into three separate publicly-traded
              companies in the defense, healthcare and commercial businesses.
              The proposal is subject to all necessary approvals, permits and
              licenses required by law, in both Israel and in other applicable
              countries. Upon final approval of this proposal by the Elbit Board
              of Directors, it will be submitted for approval by Elbit's
              shareholders. The accompanying financial statements do not reflect
              the impact of any adjustments that may result from this
              reorganization.

NOTE 2 - ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
         accounting principles generally accepted in Israel and in the United
         States (as applicable to the financial statements of the Group such
         principles are practically identical). The significant accounting
         policies followed in the preparation of the financial statements, on a
         consistent basis, are:

         A.   INVENTORIES

              Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, cost being
              determined as follows:

                 Raw materials            -  "first-in, first-out" method.

                 Finished products and
                    work in process       -  materials as above; labor and
                                             overhead on an average basis

NOTE 2 - ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)

         B.   CASH EQUIVALENTS

              All highly liquid investments are considered as cash equivalents
              if the investments mature within three months from the date of
              acquisition.

         C.   FIXED ASSETS

              Fixed assets are stated at cost, net of investment grants
              received. Repairs and maintenance expenses are charged to
              operations as incurred. Depreciation is calculated by the
              straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets
              (principally five to fifteen years).

         D.   RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS

              Research and development costs, net of participations, are
              charged to operations as incurred.

         E.   PRODUCT WARRANTY

              The provision for product warranty is recorded based on the
              Company's experience and engineering estimates.

         F.   DOUBTFUL DEBTS

              Known bad debts are written off. Doubtful debts are provided for
              specifically.

         G.   BALANCES IN FOREIGN CURRENCY AND LINKED BALANCES

              Balances in foreign currency are translated at the exchange rates
              in effect at balance sheet date.

              Balances linked to the Consumer Price Index in Israel (CPI) are
              stated at the latest index published prior to balance sheet date.

NOTE 9 - ACCRUED SEVERANCE PAY, NET

         The Company is obligated to make severance payments to employees upon
         termination of their employment. For some of its employees, including
         senior employees, the Company discharges its obligation for severance
         pay by the payment of premiums to an insurance company under an approve
         plan. Other employees have joined a comprehensive pension plan. The
         deposits with the insurance company and the pension fund are not under
         the control of the Company and, therefore, are not presented in the
         balance sheet.

         The Company makes deposits with a severance pay fund to cover a portion
         of its liability for severance pay over and above its contributions to
         the pension plan as detailed below:

         B.   ROYALTIES

              In connection with its research and development, the Company has
              received participation payments from the State of Israel. The
              participation commits the Company to pay royalties of 2%, mainly
              on the related product sales, and is subject to various time
              restrictions and maximum amounts. Royalties for the current year
              amounting to $300 (1994 - $386. 1993 - $386) are included in
              selling expenses.

              The Company received in prior years participations in selling
              expenses by the Government of Israel. The participations commit
              the Company to pay a royalty of 3% of the increase in sales over a
              base amount.

         C.   According to a letter of understanding between the Company and a
              supplier (Kalpana), the Company will pay the supplier royalties of
              $25 per unit sold, after the first 12,000 units.

NOTE 18 - TAXES ON INCOME

         A.   The Company's production facilities have been granted the status
              of "approved enterprise" entitling the Company to certain tax
              benefits. The period of such benefits is limited to a certain
              number of years. This period will terminate in 1996 and 1997 for
              certain plant expansions and in 2005 and 2007 in respect of other
              expansions.

              Income deriving from the "approved enterprise" is subject to tax
              at a reduced rate.

              The above benefits are conditional, inter alia, on the Company
              exporting specified percentages of its annual turnover. The
              Company has fulfilled this condition to date.

         B.   The Group has tax loss carryforwards amounting to approximately
              $14,500 some of which expire in varying amounts through 2009. A
              valuation allowance has been provided for the full amount of the
              deferred tax benefit related to these carryforwards due to the
              uncertainty in respect of their realization.

         C.   Final tax assessments for the Company have been received through

         Financial instruments which potentially subject the Group to
         concentrations of credit risk consist principally of accounts
         receivable. These concentrations of credit risk within geographical
         markets may be affected by changes in economic or other conditions and
         may, accordingly, impact the Group's overall credit risk. The Group
         performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains
         allowances for credit losses.

         Accounts receivable-trade, classified by geographical markets at

NOTE 20 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

              Pursuant to an agreement signed in September 1996, all the assets,
              of the Group except cash and cash equivalents, trade and other
              receivables, rights and obligations of the Group under certain
              lease agreements and other assets, were sold to MRV
              Communications, Inc. ("MRV"), a U.S. publicly traded company, in
              consideration of approximately $23,000 in cash and shares of MRV,

              sell any proprietary software or hardware developed by the Group
              and transferred to MRV except for a specific technology which is
