[3] | During April 2012, the Company sold its entire holding in the subsidiary Ituran Cellular Communication Ltd. for US$ 0.3 million in cash and for an additional amount of approximately US$ 0.5 million that was required to be paid soon thereafter. However, during late 2012, the acquirer entered into liquidation proceedings by its creditors and therefore due to the significant uncertainty regarding the collection of this receivable, the entire amount was written-off.
