[1] According to the agreement between TAT and TAT Industries, TAT Industries will pay the Company an annual management fee in the amount of $50. The management fees are recorded as a reduction of general and administration expenses.
[2] During 2000, TAT entered into a lease agreement with TAT Industries, pursuant to which the Company leases from TAT Industries approximately 344,000 square feet, including 90,000 square feet of manufacturing, office and storage space, for a period of 24 years and eleven months for an annual rental fee which is subject to revaluation every fifth year by a real estate appraiser, with an additional incremental payment of 2% per year. In 2010, following a revaluation by a real estate appraiser, the rental fee was increased to $400 per year with an additional incremental payment of 2% per year. The rental fee will be revaluated again in 2015 (the "Next Revaluation"). The Company's Audit Committee has reapproved the said agreement until the Next Revaluation.
