The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and related footnotes
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America for interim financial statements and pursuant
to
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for Form

required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of
America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management,
all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary
for a
fair presentation have been included. For further information read the financial

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Stock
based compensation
The
Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Statement (“SFAS”) No.
148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure” (“SFAS
148”). SFAS 148 amends SFAS No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”
(“SFAS 123”), and provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary
change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee
compensation. The Company has adopted the fair value method of accounting
as
discussed in SFAS 123 as of January 1, 2003. Accordingly, stock options,
when
issued, will be recorded in accordance with the terms of that
document.
Use
of
Estimates
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of
assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during
the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes – An Interpretation of FASB Statement 109,” (“FIN
48”). FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive model as to how a company should
recognize, measure, present and disclose in its financial statements uncertain
tax positions that the company has taken or expects to take on a tax return.
The
adoption of FIN 48 is effective January 1, 2007. The Company has determined
there will be no effect on their financial statements.
In
June 2006, the FASB ratified the Emerging Issues Task Force
(“EITF”) consensus on EITF Issue No. 06-2, “Accounting for Sabbatical
Leave and Other Similar Benefits Pursuant to FASB Statement No. 43.” EITF
Issue No. 06-2 requires companies to accrue the costs of compensated
absences under a sabbatical or similar benefit arrangement over the requisite
service period. EITF Issue No. 06-2 is effective for us beginning
July 1, 2007. The cumulative effect of the application of this consensus on
prior period results should be recognized through a cumulative-effect adjustment
to retained earnings as of the beginning of the year of adoption. Elective
retrospective application is also permitted. The application of this consensus
won‘t have a material impact on our financial statements.
In
September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued
SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other
Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and
132(R),” (“FAS 158”). Among other things, FAS 158 requires companies to
prospectively recognize a net liability or asset and to report the funded
status
of their defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans on
their
balance sheets, with an offsetting adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive
income; such recognition will not affect the Company’s statement of income. The
adoption of FAS 158 is effective for the year ending December 31, 2006. The
Company has determined there will be no effect on their financial
statements.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option
for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an Amendment of FASB
Statement No. 115.” This Standard allows entities to voluntarily choose, at
specified election dates, to measure many financial assets and financial
liabilities (as well as certain non-financial instruments that are similar
to
financial instruments) at fair value. The election is made on an
instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable. If the fair value option
is
elected for an instrument, the Statement specifies that all subsequent changes
in fair value for that instrument shall be reported in earnings. SFAS No.
159 is
effective for ATMI beginning on January 1, 2008. We are currently
evaluating the impact this new Standard could have on our financial position
and
results of operations.
In
December 2007 the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 “Non-controlling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements”. FAS 160 seeks to improve the relevance,
comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting
entity provides in its consolidated financial statements by establishing
accounting and reporting standards. This statement is effective for fiscal
years
beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company has not yet determined what
the
effect will be, if any, on their financial statements.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES –
The

SALE OF THE COMPANY
On
February 28, 2008 the Company entered into an agreement with an Israeli Company
that currently trades on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. Under this agreement
Lapis
will exchange approximately 75,000,000 of its shares (92% based upon the
current
outstanding amounts) in exchange for approximately 4,500,000 shares of Star
Night Technologies Ltd. In addition, the Company’s chief executive officer has
been granted certain options to sell his Lapis shares to Star Night under
certain circumstances.
The
agreement also calls for the sale of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, as
well as the subsidiary’s own majority owned subsidiary. The result of these
transactions will be the ownership of approximately 4,500,000 shares of Star
Night Technologies, Ltd.

Management’s
Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
This
Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A
of
the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934. These statements relate to future events or our future financial
performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by
terminology such as "may," "will," "should," "expect," "plan," "anticipate,"
"believe," "estimate," "predict," "potential" or "continue," the negative of
such terms, or other comparable terminology. These statements are only
predictions. Actual events or results may differ materially from those in the
forward-looking statements as a result of various important factors. Although
we
believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are
reasonable, such should not be regarded as a representation by Lapis
Technologies, Inc., or any other person, that such forward-looking statements
will be achieved. The business and operations of Lapis Technologies, Inc. and
its subsidiaries are subject to substantial risks, which increase the
uncertainty inherent in the forward-looking statements contained in this Report.
Because these forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, there
are important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially
from
those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, including our
plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and other factors discussed
under
"Risk Factors," included in our Registration Statement on Form 10-KSB filed
with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2008.
The
following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included elsewhere in this
Report.
Overview.
We
were
formed in Delaware on January 31, 2002 under the name Enertec Electronics,
Inc.
and have filed two certificates of amendment changing our name to Opal
Technologies, Inc. and then to Lapis Technologies, Inc. We conduct operations
in
Israel through our wholly owned subsidiary, Enertec Electronics Limited
("Enertec Electronics"), an Israeli corporation formed on December 31, 1991,
and
Enertec Systems 2001 LTD ("Enertec Systems"), an Israeli corporation formed
on
August 28, 2001, of which we have a 73% equity interest. We are manufacturers
and distributors of various military and airborne systems, simulators, automatic
test equipment (ATE), electronic components and products relating to power
supplies, converters and related power conversion products.

On
February 28, 2008, we entered into an agreement for the issue and sale of shares
in Lapis Technologies, Inc. and the transfer of shares of Star Night
Technologies Ltd. to us (the “Lapis SPA”), with Harry Mund, and Mordechai
Solomon (the “Investor”). Mr. Mund is the Company’s chief executive officer,
director, and majority stockholder. The Lapis SPA will close (subject to
fulfillment or waiver of certain closing conditions or the waiver thereof prior
to closing, as well as the performance of certain covenants by the parties
that
include, inter
alia,
the
receipt of a fairness opinion) 21 days following the date on which an
information statement on Schedule 14C under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934,
as amended, is mailed to stockholders of the Company (the “Closing Date”), which
closing shall occur concurrently with that of the Systems SPA (defined below)
and the Electronics SPA (defined below). Pursuant to the Lapis SPA, we agreed
to
issue to the Investor, on the Closing Date, 75,129,500 shares of the Company’s
common stock, representing 92% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares on
a fully diluted basis. The Investor agreed to transfer to the Company, on the
Closing Date, 4,539,557 shares in Star Night Technologies Ltd., a company traded
on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, held by the Investor in person.
In
addition, pursuant to the Lapis SPA, the Investor agreed to grant to Mr. Mund
an
option (the “Mund Option”), exercisable by Mr. Mund in his sole discretion, to
sell to the Investor, Mr. Mund’s 4,750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock
(the “Option Shares”). The Mund Option will be exercisable during a period of 90
calendar days immediately following the first anniversary of the Closing Date
(with respect to 50% of the Option Shares, at an exercise price of US $0.5434
per share, subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends,
and similar transactions) and/or the second anniversary of the Closing Date
(with respect to all of the Option Shares, at an exercise price of US $0.6038
per share, subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends,
and similar transactions). The Mund Option is subject to the aggregate value
of
the Option Shares being no higher than US $2,868,000, subject to certain
adjustments, for a period of 65 consecutive calendar days commencing 120 days
after the Closing Date (so long as Mr. Mund may sell his shares pursuant to
Rule
144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)) during
a period of 65 consecutive calendar days during a period of 24 months following
the Closing Date.
In
connection with the Lapis SPA, on February 28, 2008, our indirect wholly owned
subsidiary, Enertec Management Ltd. (“Enertec Management”) (which we own through
its direct wholly owned subsidiary Enertec Electronics Ltd.), entered into
an
agreement for the sale and purchase of Enertec Systems 2001 Ltd. (the “Systems
SPA”), with Harry Mund, and S.D.S. (Star Defense Systems) Ltd., a company traded
on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (“S.D.S.”) whose majority stockholder is
Mordechai Solomon. The Systems SPA will close on the Closing Date concurrently
with the Lapis SPA and the Electronics SPA (defined below). Pursuant to the
Systems SPA, Etertec Management and Mr. Mund agreed to sell, and S.D.S. agreed
to purchase, on the Closing Date, an aggregate of 251,000 shares of Enertec
Systems 2001 Ltd. (“Enertec Systems”), representing all of the issued and
outstanding capital stock of Enertec Systems, for an aggregate purchase price
of
US $1,500,000. The 251,000 shares to be sold pursuant to the Systems SPA
represent 67,770 shares to be sold by Mr. Mund and 183,230 shares to be sold
by
Enertec Management.
In
connection with the Lapis SPA and the Systems SPA, we also entered into, on
February 28, 2008, an agreement with Mund Holdings Ltd., a company owned by
Harry Mund (the “Electronics SPA”). The Electronics SPA will close on the
Closing Date concurrently with the Lapis SPA and the Systems SPA. Pursuant
to
the Electronics SPA, we agreed to sell, and Mund Holdings Ltd. agreed to
purchase, on the Closing Date, NIS (New Israeli Shekel) 100 divided into 100
shares of NIS 1 each, of Enertec Electronics Ltd. (“Enertec Electronics”),
representing all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Enertec
Electronics, for a purchase price of US $250,000.
Our
issuance of shares of common stock to Mr. Solomon under the Lapis SPA will
be
made pursuant to the exemption from registration requirements under Regulation
D
and/or Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”). No form of general solicitation or general advertising was conducted in
connection with the issuance. The certificates representing the shares will
contain restrictive legends preventing the sale, transfer of such shares unless
registered under the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption therefrom.
Mr.
Mordechai is an “accredited investor” as defined under Regulation D and/or is
not a “U.S. Person” as defined under Regulation S.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of
June 30, 2008 our cash balance was $572,000 as compared to $80,000 at June
30,
2007. Total current assets at June 30, 2008 were $10,986,000 as compared to
$7,824,000 at June 30, 2007. The increase in current assets is mainly due to
the
increase in accounts receivables and inventories.
Our
accounts receivables at June 30, 2008 were $5,864,000 as compared to $3,735,000,
at June 30, 2007. This change in accounts receivable is primarily due to
increase in sales.
As
of
June 30, 2008 our working capital was $1,578,000 as compared to $1,176,000
at
June 30, 2007. The increase in the working capital is due primarily to a greater
increase in current assets than the increase in current
liabilities.
The
current portion of our short-term loans at June 30, 2008 totaled $224,000 as
compared to$ 181,000 at June 30, 2008. Our total short-term loans amounted
to
$5,155,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2008 as compared to
$2,944,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007.
10
As
of
June 30, 2008, our total bank debt was $6,741,00 as opposed to $4,576,000 at
the
end of June 30, 2007. These funds were borrowed as follows:
$5,379,000
which includes the current portion of long term debt, as various short term
bank
loans due through 2009, $168,000 of long term debt due through March 2010 and
$1,194,000 using our bank lines of credit. As a result we increased the amount
borrowed for the six months ended June 30, 2008 by $2,165,000 compared to the
same period in 2007. The increase in bank debt is mainly due to the increase
in
accounts receivables, the increase in inventories and work in process and the
decrease in USD/Shekel exchange rate since the loans are in shekels. The
USD/Shekel exchange rate decreased by 21.11% from 4.249 as of June 30, 2007
to
3.352 as of June 30 2008.
There
are
no other lines of credit available to us to refinance our short-term bank loans.
Additionally, we currently do not have any other sources of financing available
to us for refinancing our short-term loans. As of June 30, 2008, we are current
with all of our bank debt and compliant with all the terms of our bank
debt.
Financing
Needs
Although
we currently do not have any material commitments for capital expenditures,
other than as described in this report, we expect our capital requirements
to
increase over the next several years as we continue to develop and test our
suite of products, increase marketing and administration infrastructure, and
embark on developing in-house business capabilities and facilities. Our future
liquidity and capital funding requirements will depend on numerous factors,
including, but not limited to, the levels and costs of our research and
development initiatives, the cost of hiring and training additional sales and
marketing personnel to promote our products and the cost and timing of the
expansion of our marketing efforts.
Based
on
our current business plan, we anticipate that our existing cash balances and
cash generated from future sales will be sufficient to permit us to conduct
our
operations and to carry out our contemplated business plans for the next twelve
months. However, management may undertake additional debt or equity financings
to better enable Lapis to grow and meet its future operating and capital
requirements. Currently, the only external sources of liquidity are our banks,
and we may seek additional financing from them or through securities offerings
to expand our operations, using new capital to develop new products, enhance
existing products or respond to competitive pressures.
Results
of Operations.
Three
and Six Months Ended June 30, 2008 Compared to Three and Six Months Ended June
30, 2007
Revenues
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 were $2,944,000 and $5,345,000
respectively as compared to $2,277,000 and $4,134,000, for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2007, respectively. This represents an increase of
$667,000 or 29.3 % for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 and an increase of
$1,211,000 or 29.3 %, for the six months ended June 30, 2008, when compared
to
the same periods of 2007. The increase of 29.3 % in revenues for the
three-months and the six months period ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the
same period of 2007 is mainly the result of the increase in the revenues of
the
military business and the decrease in USD/Shekel exchange rate since the sales
are in shekels. The average USD/Shekel exchange rate decreased by 15.1% from
4.150 for the six months period ended June 2007 to 3.522 for the period ended
June 2008.
Gross
profit totaled approximately $681,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 and
$1,175,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. For the three and six months
ended June 30, 2007, gross profit totaled $484,000 and $ 942,000 respectively.
Comparing the three-month period ended June 30, 2008 to the same period of
2007,
gross profit increased by approximately $197,000, or 40.7 %. For the six-month
period ended June 30, 2008, gross profit increased approximately $233,000,
or
24.7 %, compared to the same period of 2007. The increase in gross profits
is
primarily due to the increase in sales.
Gross
profit as a percentage of sales was 23.1 % for the three-month period ended
June
30, 2008 as compared to 21.3% for the same period of 2007 and for the six-month
period ended June 30, 2008, was 22 % as compared to 22.8% for the same period
of
2007.
The
increase in gross profit as a percentage of sales for the three-month period
ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the same period of 2007 is a result of lower
cost of sales and higher profit margins for some projects in the military field
delivered during the second quarter.
The
decrease in gross profit as a percentage of sales for the six-month period
ended
June 30, 2008 as compared to the same period of 2007 is due to the lower profit
margins during the first quarter of 2008 as compared to the first quarter of
2007.
For
the
three months and six months ended June 30, 2008, operating expenses totaled
$545,000 and $1,129,000 respectively. This was an increase of $41,000 (8.1
%)
and $160,000 (16.5 %) when compared to the three and six-month periods ended
June 30, 2007. The increase in operating expenses for the six-month period
as
compared to the same period of 2007 is attributable mainly to the increase
in
General & Administrative expenses partly offset by the decrease in research
and development and selling expenses.
11
Research
and Development expenses increased by $ 2,000 for the three months period and
decreased by $145,000 for the six months period ended June 30, 2008 as compared
to the same period in 2007. The decrease in Research and Development expenses
for the six months period ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the same period
in
2007 is the result of the decrease in R&D expenses during the first quarter
of 2008 as compared to the first quarter of 2007 due to more manpower resources
allocated during this period to the fulfillment of the increased number of
orders received.
Selling
expenses decreased by $116,000 and $ 112,000 for the three months and six months
period ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the same period in 2007. The decrease
in selling expenses during 2008 as compared to 2007 is due mainly to our
increased marketing efforts in particular in the second quarter of 2007, in
order to maintain our market share in the commercial field which became much
more competitive during the last year. During 2008 we allocated less human
resources in selling efforts and more in engineering and production of the
increased number of orders received.
The
General & Administrative expenses increased by $155,000 and $417,000 for the
three months and six months period ended June 30,2008 as compared to the same
period in 2007. The increase is mainly due to the increase in the professional
services and the decrease in the USD/Shekel exchange rate since the G&A
expenses are in Shekels.
Our
net
loss was $16,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2008 and $216,000 in the
six
months ended June 30, 2008. This compares to net loss of $94,000 in the three
months ended June 30, 2007 and $ 170,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2007.
This represents an increase in net income of $ 78,000, or 83 %, comparing the
three months ended June 30, 2008 to the three months ended June 30, 2007, and
a
decrease in net income of $46,000, or 27.1 %, comparing the six months ended
June 30, 2008 to the six months ended June 30, 2007.
The
decrease in the net loss for the three-month period ended June 30, 2008 was
mainly due to the increase in the gross profit partly offset by the increase in
the operating and interest expenses.
The decrease in the profitability for the six month period ending June 30,
2008
was mainly due to the decrease in profitability for first quarter of 2008 as
compared to the first quarter of 2007 mainly due to the increase in the
operating expenses.
As
of
June 30, 2008, we had 2 customers that accounted for approximately 71.3% of
the
accounts receivable. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, approximately
76.4%
of our sales were to 2 customers.
Research
and Development Costs
Research
and development costs are part of operating expenses. Research and development
costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 were $32,000
and $ 54,000, respectively. Research and development costs for the three and
six
months ended June 30, 2007 were $30,000 and $199,000, respectively.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We
do not
have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have
a
current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, and results
of
operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.
Concentration
of Credit Risk - Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables
are limited to customers dispersed primarily across Israel. All trade
receivables are concentrated in the manufacturing and distribution of electronic
components segment of the economy; accordingly the Company is exposed to
business and economic risk. Although the Company does not currently foresee
a
concentrated credit risk associated with these trade receivables, repayment
is
dependent upon the financial stability of this segment of the
economy.
Revenue
Recognition and Customer Deposits - Revenue is recorded as product is shipped,
the price has been fixed or determined, collectability is reasonably assured
and
all material specific performance obligations have been completed. The product
sold by the Company is made to the specifications of each customer; sales
returns and allowances are allowed on a case-by-case basis, are not material
to
the financial statements and are recorded as an adjustment to sales. Cash
payments received in advance are recorded as customer deposits.
Revenue
relating to service is recognized on the straight-line basis over the life
of
the agreement, generally one year. For the three months ended June 30, 2008
revenue relating to service contracts was less than one percent of net
sales.
Financial
Instruments - The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash
and
cash equivalents, accounts receivable, bank line of credit, short term bank
loans and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value at June
30, 2008 because of the relatively short maturity of the instruments. The fair
value of due from stockholder is not practical to estimate without incurring
excessive cost and is carried at cost at June 30, 2008. The carrying value
of
the long-term debt approximate fair value at June 30, 2008 based upon debt
terms
available for companies under similar terms.
12
Foreign
Currency Translation - Lapis Technologies, Inc. has one wholly owned subsidiary,
Enertec Electronics Limited, an Israeli corporation, and one majority owned
subsidiary, Enertec Systems 2001 Ltd., an Israeli corporation. The assets and
liabilities of the foreign subsidiaries are translated at current exchange
rates
and related revenues and expenses at average exchange rates in effect during
the
periods reported. Resulting translation adjustments, if material, are recorded
as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income or
loss.

Changes
in internal controls

and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that no change occurred in the
Company's internal controls over financial reporting during the 2008 Quarter
ended June 30, 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, the Company's internal controls over financial
reporting.
