Directors Report
for the Six Months
Period ended June 30, 2003
We are pleased to present our Directors Report on the financial condition of our company for the six-months period ended June 30, 2003.
RoboGroup T.E.K. Limited (RoboGroup) and its subsidiaries will be referred to in this Directors Report as the Company.
The Company operates through three business sectors. The first sector focuses on the traditional business activities of the Company the education field. This sector includes the Companys research and development sections, the operations section, the marketing and sales of the Companys products, as well as products manufactured by third parties and the e-learning products to the training and educational markets in Israel and worldwide.
The second sector includes our subsidiary, Yaskawa Eshed Technology Ltd. (YET), which is engaged in the development and manufacture of motion control products for the industrial market.
The third sector manages the activities of our subsidiaries MemCall LLC and MemCall Ltd. (together, MemCall).
In April 2003, RoboGroups board of directors decided to change the management of the educational sector. The new management team of Mr. Rafael Aravot, RoboGroups CEO, and Messrs. Haim Schleifer and Noam Kra-Oz, co-general managers of RoboGroup, will continue to perform their other duties as officers in the Company. The former co manager Mr. Eldad Chereshnia will conclude his employment with the company in the next few weeks. Mr. Moshe Turner, former co-manager of the educational sector, will continue to serve as an officer of RoboGroup.
In the first six months of 2003 the educational sector did not meet its sales forecast or business objectives. Therefore, in the beginning of July 2003 the Company implemented additional cost- cutting measures, including personal cuts and the merger of various complementary activities of the sector.
In the second quarter of 2003 we completed the delivery of e-learning products for an over US $4 million project that we received a year and a half ago. The Company is actively promoting and marketing products for distance-learning, or combined-learning, including hardware products that are based on the development efforts for this project. During the second quarter of 2003 the Company received several small orders for the e-learning products in the US market.
-2-
On December 2002, the Company signed an agreement with Mentergy Ltd. for the acquisition of assets relating to its TrainNet activity, an interactive distance-learning product via satellite and wide-ribbon lines. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company acquired, among other things, proprietary rights to the software developed by TrainNet, the right to use the TrainNet name and production files and engineering documentation for the product. In the first half of 2003 the Company invested great efforts in the development and improvement of the TrainNet product, including its adjustment as an Internet product, and combined it with the Companys e-learning products. The Company believes that the combination of the acquired TrainNet product and the products developed by the Company will provide its customers with unique solutions for distance learning. In the second quarter of 2003, the Company signed several contracts for the TrainNet product.
During the second quarter of 2003 YET received approximately US $ 613,000 for development services and royalties from Yaskawa Electronic Corporation (YEC). During the second quarter YET sold approximately US $79,000 of its products.
According to the decisions of YETs board of directors, YET continued in the first half of 2003 with the advanced stages of the development of the XtraDrive (Advanced Server Driver) and with its marketing and sales efforts in Israel and world-wide. In addition, YET continued its efforts to market YECs products in Israel.
In the first half of 2003 YET began to seek independent distributors to market its products in Europe. YET is currently negotiating with a European corporation established by YEC and a third party for the distribution of YETs products in Europe.
In early 2003 it was made clear to YET that YEC would not distribute YET products in the US and that it would have to establish an independent marketing network in the US. Action on this matter has begun.
The depressed condition of the global networking market has significantly reduced MemCalls market potential. In addition, the condition of the capital markets is still depressed and MemCalls management is therefore unable to estimate, when or under what conditions it will be able to raise capital for its operations.
-3-
RoboGroups investment in MemCall in the second quarter of 2003 amounted to approximately NIS 1.4 million (US$ 0.32 million). RoboGroups aggregate investment in MemCall, as of June 30, 2003, amounted to approximately US$ 4.07 million and is expected to total approximately US$ 4.25 million, of which US$ 2 million was invested in the form of share capital and the balance in the form of a US$ 2.25 million convertible loan. All of the investments in MemCall are recorded by the Company as current expenses in the quarter in which they are made (see Note 4 to the financial statements).
In the first quarter of 2003 MemCall sought and received approval from the Chief Scientist of the Israeli Ministry of Industry and Trade (the Chief Scientist) to extend the period of the approved budget until the end of March 2003. The total approved budget amounted to NIS 8 million, of which the lesser of NIS 4 million or 50% out of the budget was given as a grant by the Chief Scientist. To date, MemCall has received NIS 3.6 million from the Chief Scientist. In April 2003 MemCall applied for an additional grant and then withdrew the request. The Chief Scientist recommended that MemCall will wait until an agreement with a strategic partner is signed before requesting a new grant.
During the first half of 2003 and to date, MemCall has dedicated its efforts to search for potential strategic partners (manufacturers/marketers in the global silicon market). MemCall is conducting negotiations with several companies, which have not resulted in an agreement as of the date of this report. In the second quarter of 2003, MemCall's board of directors decided on some substantial cost-cutting measures in order to enable MemCall management to continue such negotiations. To date, MemCall has spent almost all of the funding that was approved by RoboGroup's Board of Directors. Nevertheless, RoboGroup's Board of Directors have authorized MemCall to continue its efforts to attract a strategic partner although this might result in Memcall exceeding its approved budget. All future financial expenditures will be subject to the review of RoboGroup's Board of Directors and up to a limit of US$ 250,000 above the approved budget.
The space in RoboGroups building in Rosh HaAyin that is not occupied by the Company is leased to six outside tenants. During the second quarter of 2003, the Company recorded approximately US$ 394,000 in rental payments from these tenants.
In August 2003, a 780 square meter space in the building was vacated. The annual rent RoboGroup received from such space amounted to NIS 0.9 million. The Company is searching for a new tenant for the space, which efforts have been hindered by the prevailing high vacancy rates.

a. Currency Risks
The majority of the Companys products are exported, and as a result, the bulk of the Companys income is received in foreign currency. As a result, the Company is subject to risks from changes in the exchange rates of foreign currencies (mainly US$ and Japanese YEN). The Company undertakes the following precautions measures in order to limit its exposure:
1. | Daily monitoring of changes in the exchange rates of the various currencies as well as of factors that are bound to influence such currencies. |
2. | An evaluation of the Companys quarterly position with respect to the general exposure to changes in the various currencies. |
3. | Establishing foreign currency linked loans for the financing of its investments in its building. |
Notwithstanding these precautions, the Company cannot insure full protection against foreign currency risks and the Company is exposed to exchange rate fluctuations between various foreign currencies and the Israeli shekel.
The Company does not enter into specific hedging contracts against its exposure to changes in interest and index rates.
c. The Company is accustomed to investing a portion of its monetary balances in accordance with its periodic evaluations with respect to expectations in the areas of interest and index and currency rates.
The Companys chief financial officer is responsible for managing the Companys market risks.
The Companys management and the finance committee of the Board of Directors constantly monitor the extent of the Companys exposure to market risks, and determine if it is necessary to modify the Companys risk management policy and, if necessary, adopt protective measures.
As of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the Company had no outstanding futures contracts. The Company did not enter into any futures contracts in the first six months of 2003.

The Companys backlog of orders as at June 30, 2003 was as follows:
2. The Financial Position of the Company
a. | As at June 30, 2003 the Company had assets of approximately NIS 95.1 million, compared to assets of approximately NIS 105.6 million at December 31, 2002. The principal reason for the decrease was a decline of approximately NIS 6.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, which was offset in great measure by an approximately NIS 4.4 million decrease in accounts receivables. |
b. | The Companys equity was approximately NIS 39.2 million as of June 30, 2003, compared to approximately NIS 49.7 million as of December 31, 2002. The decrease in equity is a result of a loss of approximately NIS 9.7 million in the period. |
The Companys revenues for the first six months of 2003 amounted to approximately NIS 27.3 million, as compared to approximately NIS 36.1 million in the corresponding period last year. The companys revenues for the second quarter of 2003 amounted to approximately NIS 14.4 million, as compared to approximately NIS 21 million. The NIS 8.8 million decrease in income in the second six months of 2003, as compared to the corresponding period of 2002, was primarily attributable to reduced sales by the educational sector. |
The Companys cost of revenues for the first six months of 2003 was approximately 56% of revenues, compared to approximately 53% in the corresponding period last year. |
The Companys operating expenses during the first six months of 2003 were approximately NIS 20.9 million as compared to approximately NIS 19.5 million in the corresponding period last year. |
Research and development expenditures, net, for the first six months of 2003 increased by approximately NIS 0.5 million as compared to the corresponding period last year. |
Marketing and selling costs for the first six months of 2003 declined by approximately NIS 0.3 million, as compared with to the corresponding period in the previous year, due primarily to lower marketing expenses in the educational sector. |
General and administrative expenses for the first six months of 2003 increased by approximately NIS 1.6 million as compared to the corresponding period last year, due primarily to higher general and administrative expenses in the educational sector. |
-7-
The Company incurred an operating loss of approximately NIS 8.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to an operating loss of approximately NIS 2 million in the corresponding period in 2002. |
The Company had net financial expenses of approximately NIS 2 million in the first six months of 2003 compared with financial income of approximately NIS 0.2 million in the corresponding period last year. The financial loss in the first six months of 2003 was derived mainly from the linkage of monetary accounts to interest, index and foreign currency rates. |
The Companys other income in the first six months of 2003 amounted to approximately NIS 1.2 million compared to other income of approximately NIS 1.1 million in the corresponding period last year. |
The Companys loss before taxes for the first six months of 2003 amounted to approximately NIS 9.7 million compared to a loss of approximately NIS 1.2 million in the corresponding period last year. |
The Companys loss before taxes for the first six months of 2003 excluding the approximately NIS 3.5 million investment in MemCall that was charged to expenses, amounted to approximately NIS 6.2 million. |
The Companys net loss for the first six months of 2003 amounted to approximately NIS 9.7 million compared to a net loss of approximately NIS 2.1 million in the corresponding period last year. |
a. | The balance of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as at June 30, 2003 was approximately NIS 17.9 million compared to approximately NIS 24.7 million at December 31, 2002. |
b. |
Cash flows from current operations In the first six months of 2003 the Company had negative cash flow from operations of approximately NIS 10.3 thousand compared to positive cash flow of approximately NIS 2.9 million in the corresponding period last year. The negative cash flow for the first six months of 2003 was derived mainly from the loss in this period. |
c. |
Cash flows from investment operations In the first six months of 2003 the Company had negative cash flow from investment operations of approximately NIS 135,000 as compared to negative cash flow of approximately NIS 0.6 million in the corresponding period last year. |
d. |
Cash flows from financing operations In the first six months of 2003 the Company had a surplus in cash flow from financing operations of approximately NIS 3.9 million as compared to a surplus of approximately NIS 1.1 million in the corresponding period last year. The surplus was mainly due to the repayment of approximately NIS 5.6 million of long term loans, which was offset by an increase in net short term credit from banking institutions of approximately NIS 1.8 million. |
-8-
a. | The Company had positive working capital at June 30, 2003. The current ratio as at June 30, 2003 was 1.41 compared with 1.88 as at December 31, 2002. The quick ratio as at June 30, 2003 was 1 compared with 1.41 as at December 31, 2002. The decrease in the current ratio is principally attributable to a decrease in accounts payables and a decrease in accounts receivables. |
b. | The Companys shareholders equity as at June 30, 2003 was approximately NIS 39.2 million, representing approximately 41% of its total balance sheet assets compared with NIS 49.7 million and 47% respectively as at December 31, 2002, and is used by the Company as its main source of financing. |
c. | The average amount of credit granted to customers during the first six months of 2003 was approximately NIS 17.7 million and the average amount of credit received from suppliers and providers of services was approximately NIS 7.8 million compared with NIS 23.3 million and NIS 11.7 million respectively as at December 31, 2002. |
d. | The average amount of short term credit from banking institutions during the first six months of 2003 was approximately NIS 15.5 million compared to approximately NIS 24.2 million in the corresponding period last year |
e. | The average amount of long term credit from banking institutions during the first six months of 2003 was approximately NIS 19.7 million compared to approximately NIS 9.1 million in the corresponding period last year. |
6.1. |
During the six months ended June 30, 2003, RoboGroup issued 9,200 ordinary
shares, per value NIS 0.5 each, as a result of the exercise of 9,200 stock
options. RoboGroups stock options were allotted on February 9, 1998 to a
trustee on behalf of employees of the Company and were exercisable in
consideration of a cash payment in NIS equal to US$ 0.50 per option. As of the date of this report there are 53,000 outstanding stock options. At this time, options to purchase 42,600 shares have not been allotted |
6.2. | On March 13, 2003, 1,080,000 options were allotted to a trustee in behalf of the employees of the Company and are exercisable in consideration of a cash payment in NIS equal to US$ 0.91 per share. This plan was approved by RoboGroups Board of Directors in November 2002 and by the general shareholders meeting of the Company on December 17, 2002. The options are exercisable for 10 years beginning January 1, 2003 and will be subject to the lock-up provisions of Section 102 of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance. |
-9-
6.3. | In addition to the allotment described in Section 6.2, on March 13, 2003, 190,000 options were allotted to RoboGroups directors and are exercisable in consideration of a cash payment in NIS equal to US$ 0.91 per share (the Directors Plan). The Directors Plan was approved by RoboGroups Board of Directors in November 2002 and by the general shareholders meeting of the Company on December 17, 2002. The terms governing the exercise and vesting of the options in the Directors Plan are identical to the terms of the employee stock option plan, subject to the provisions of applicable laws. |
In November 2002, RoboGroup filed a motion with the Tel Aviv District Court to approve a distribution by way of a purchase of Company shares, pursuant to Section 303 of the Israeli Companies Law, 1999. The Company had sought approval to use up to NIS 2,140,000 (approximately US $450,000) in connection with a proposed buyback of its outstanding ordinary shares. On April 29, 2003, the Company received an approval from the district court of Tel-Aviv on its motion. Future purchases under this approval may be made from time to time based on the prevailing market prices. To date, the Company has not initiated any purchases pursuant to the Court approval. |
The changes in the world economy and the terrorist attacks in the US on September 11, 2001 impacted and continue to impact the stock prices on stock exchanges throughout the world and in the US in particular and have also affected the stock prices of RoboGroups securities traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange as well as on the Nasdaq Stock Market. |
1. | The companys business has been damaged from the affect of the SARS outbreak, which quickly spread in South East Asia. Projects in several countries were cancelled or postponed due to priority changes in governmental investments and our inability to visit customers and investors in the region. |
2. |
The continued slowdown of the world economy and the terrorist attacks in the
U.S. on September 11, 2001, have affected the Companys business in the
following markets:

Notes to the Interim Financial Statements
(a) | The accompanying financial statements were prepared as of June 30, 2003 and for the six-months and three month period then ended. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys annual audited financial statements as of December 31, 2002 and for the year then ended, together with the notes thereto. |
(b) | These financial statements have been reviewed by the Companys certified public accountants. The review was conducted in accordance with the procedures established by the Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Israel regarding interim periods. The review was limited in scope and did not constitute an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and therefore no opinion was expressed by the Companys certified public accountants. |
(c) | In managements opinion all necessary adjustments were made in order to present correctly these interim financial statements. |
(I) | The significant accounting policies have been applied on a consistent basis with the annual audited financial statements of the previous year (December 31, 2002). |
(II) | The financial statements, including the comparison sums, have been prepared according to the historical cost convention, adjusted for changes in the purchasing power of the currency, on the basis of changes in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). In the six month period ended June 30, 2003, the CPI decreased by approximately 0.5 %. In the year ended December 31, 2002, the CPI increased by 6.5 %. |
(III) | The adjusted financial statements at June 30, 2003 and for the six month period then ended have been translated into US dollars solely for the convenience of the American reader. This translation was made at the US dollar/New Israeli shekel exchange rate in effect on the said date, i.e. US$ 1 = NIS 4.312. |
(IV) | In November 2002 the American Emergency Issues Task Force reached a consensus on Issue 00-21, addressing how to account for arrangements that involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services, and/or rights to use assets. The final consensus entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003 with early adoption permitted. In an arrangement with multiple deliverables, the delivered item(s) should be considered a separate unit of accounting if all of the following criteria are met. |
1. | The delivered item(s) has value to the customer on a standalone basis. |
2. | There is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered item(s). |
-19-
Notes to the Interim Financial Statements (Cont.)
3. |
If the arrangement includes a general right of return relative to the delivered
item, delivery or performance of the undelivered item(s) is considered probable
and substantially in the control of the vendor. It is the Companys intent to apply the EITF 00-21 guidance as of the third period of the 2003 fiscal year. The companys previous policy was to recognize revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables at the time of their completion (completion of installation). In the Companys estimation, the new accounting standard specified above does not have a material effect on its results of operations, financial condition and cash flows for the three and six months period ending on June 30 2003. At this stage, the company is unable to estimate the predicted effect of applying the EITF 00-21 guidance in the future (in regards to some activities, in particularly arrangements that includes installation services the affect can be material). |

1. | A claim was filed against the Company by a subcontractor of a former included company in the Labor Court for payment of approximately NIS 320 thousand for an alleged debt of the Company to the plaintiff. In this stage there is no estimate of the risks that involve this claim. |
1. | Motion to Approve a
Distribution On November 2002, RoboGroup filed a motion with the Tel Aviv District Court to approve a distribution by way of a purchase of Company shares, pursuant to Section 303 of the Israeli Companies Law, 1999. The Company had sought approval to use up to NIS 2,140 thousands (approximately $450,000) in connection with a proposed buyback of its outstanding ordinary shares. On April 29, 2003, the Company received an approval from the district court of Tel-Aviv on its motion. Future purchases under this approval may be made from time to time based on the prevailing market prices. |
2. | Option Plans for Employees, Directors and Interested Parties |
(a). | On March 13, 2003, 773,500 options were allotted to the trustee for employees of the Company and its subsidiaries that are exercisable in consideration of a cash payment in NIS equal to US$ 0.91 per option. This plan was approved by RoboGroups Board of Directors in November 2002 and by the general shareholders meeting of the Company on December 17, 2002. The options are exercisable for 10 years, beginning January 1, 2003, and will be subject to the lock-up provisions under Section 102 of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance. |
(b). | In addition to the allotment described in Section 6.2, on March 13, 2003, 190,000 options were allotted to RoboGroups directors that are exercisable in consideration of a cash payment in NIS equal to US$ 0.91 per option (the Directors Plan). The Directors Plan was approved by RoboGroups Board of Directors in November 2002 and by the general shareholders meeting of the Company on December 17, 2002. The terms governing the exercise and holding of the options in the Directors Plan are identical to the terms of the employee stock option plan, subject to the provisions of applicable laws. |
