INCOME TAX

 
A.
Measurement of results for tax purposes under the Israeli Income Tax (Inflationary Adjustments) Law, 1985 (the "Inflationary Adjustment Law")

Until December 31, 2007, Integrity Israel reported for tax purposes in accordance with the provisions of the Inflationary Adjustments Law, whereby taxable income was measured in NIS, adjusted for changes in the Israeli Consumer Price Index.

Results of operations for tax purposes were measured in terms of earnings in NIS after adjustments for changes in the Israeli Consumer Price Index ("CPI"). Commencing January 1, 2008, the Inflationary Adjustment Law became void and in its place there are transition provisions, whereby the results of operations for tax purposes are to be measured on a nominal basis.

 
B.
Reduction in Israeli corporate tax rates

On July 25, 2005, the Israeli Parliament passed an amendment to the Income Tax Ordinance (No. 147) - 2005, gradually reducing the tax rate applicable to the Company to the following rates for the years indicated in 2006 - 31%, in 2007 - 29%, in 2008 - 27%, in 2009 - 26% and in 2010 and thereafter - 25%.

On July 23, 2009, as part of the Economic Efficiency Law (Legislative Amendments for the Implementation of the Economic Plan for the years 2009 and 2010) - 2009 (the "Arrangements Law"), article 126 of the Income Tax Ordinance (New Version) - 1961 was amended, whereby the Israeli corporate tax rate would be gradually reduced commencing in the 2011 tax year and thereafter, to the following rates for the years indicated: 2011 - 24%, 2012 - 23%, 2013 - 22%, 2014 - 21%, 2015 - 20% and 2016 and thereafter - 18%.

In accordance with the Law for the Change in the Tax Burden (Legislative Amendments) - 2011, commencing from December 5, 2011, the blueprint for the reduction in corporate tax set out in the Arrangements Law was cancelled so that following the amendment, the Israeli corporate tax rate was changed to the following rates for the years indicated: 2011 - 24%, commencing in 2012 and thereafter - 25%.

 
C.

The Company and Integrity Israel have not received final tax assessments since their inception.

 
D.

As of December 31, 2011, the Company and Integrity Israel had loss carry forward balances for income tax purposes of nearly US$ 0.5 million and US$ 9.7 million, respectively, that may be available to offset future taxable income, if any.
