| d. | Litigation:
| (1) | On December 29, 2022, a customer filed a suit against Limco in the Northern District of Oklahoma. And Limco intend to file a counter claim with complaints each against the other on the business relationship in the last five years. While Limco intends to vigorously defend the aforementioned matter, it believes that even if there was a loss in excess of its accrued liability with respect to these claims, such loss would not be material to the business, operations and financial condition of TAT.
| (2) | On July 12, 2022 TAT filed a suit against TAT Industries Ltd. In the District Court of Tel Aviv. TAT had leased the Gedera facility from TAT Industries Ltd. until the termination of the lease agreement in 2022. TAT asserts that TAT Industries Ltd. has unlawfully forfeited a bank guarantee that was granted for the benefit TAT Industries Ltd. in connection with the lease in Gedera in the amount of $750 thousands. On December 28, 2022, TAT Industries Ltd. filed a counterclaim against TAT asserting damages caused by TAT in connection with the lease in Gedera. TAT intends to vigorously defend the counterclaim by TAT Industries Ltd. which is in a preliminary stage, and TAT cannot estimate at this stage what impact, if any, the litigation may have on its results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.
