NOTE 3—INVESTMENT IN DSIT SOLUTIONS, LTD. (“DSIT”)

 

On April 21, 2016, the Company closed on a transaction (the “DSIT Transaction”) for the sale of a portion of its interests DSIT Solutions, Ltd. business to Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd., a major Israeli defense company. As a result of the DSIT Transaction, the Company’s holdings in DSIT were reduced from 78.7% to 41.2%, and subsequent to the DSIT Transaction, the Company has limited representation on the DSIT Board of directors. Accordingly, the Company no longer consolidates the results of DSIT, but rather accounts for its investment in DSIT under the equity method. DSIT’s results and the Company’s share of its net income for the three months ended March 31, 2017 can be seen below:
