Nature of Operations | Note 1 - Nature of Operations
| A. | Camtek Ltd. (“Camtek” or “Company”), an Israeli corporation, is controlled by (41.92%) Priortech Ltd. (“Parent”), an Israeli corporation listed on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange. Camtek provides automated and technologically advanced solutions dedicated to enhancing production processes, increasing products yield and reliability, enabling and supporting customers’ latest technologies in the semiconductor fabrication industry.
| B. | In September 2017, the Company completed the sale of its PCB inspection and metrology business unit. The buyers acquired the entire assets and liabilities related to the PCB business unit, including 100% equity interests in the Company’s Chinese and Taiwanese subsidiaries. The Company received a total cash consideration of $32,000 and may receive an additional amount of up to $3,000, net of working capital adjustments and conditioned upon the PCB business unit's financial performance in 2018. The Company records the contingent consideration portion of the arrangement when the consideration is determined to be realizable. As of December 31, 2018, no asset with respect of contingent consideration was recognized.
Due to the sale of the Company’s PCB business, the results of this unit ceased to be consolidated in 2017 and are accounted as discontinued operations. (See Note 19)
