to contracts awarded to us under defense-related programs. The funding of these programs is subject to government budget and appropriation decisions and processes which are affected by numerous factors, including geo-political events and
macro-economic conditions that are beyond our control. Government spending under such contracts may cease or may be reduced, which would cause a negative effect on our revenues, results of operations, cash flow and financial condition. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>The current worldwide economic and financial situation as well as possible reduction in funding by the new U.S. administration for defense
procurement may have a material adverse effect on our results</I></B><I>.</I><B><I> </I></B>Many of the world&#146;s largest economies and financial institutions are currently experiencing a reduction in economic activity, a decline in asset prices,
liquidity problems and limited availability of credit. Also, recent statements by the new U.S. administration indicate that overall defense spending may be reduced. Such factors may result in a reduction in demand in some or all of our major markets
and downward pressure on pricing in many markets, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. The economic and financial situation may: (i)&nbsp;cause the value of our investments in our pension plans to
decrease, requiring us to increase our funding of those pension plans; (ii)&nbsp;result in a lower return on our financial investments and a lower value on some of our assets; (iii)&nbsp;increase the cost or our ability to finance future projects;
and (iv)&nbsp;negatively impact our customers, which in turn would negatively impact our ability to collect accounts receivable. Also, significant changes and volatility in the equity, credit and foreign exchange markets, and in the competitive
landscape, make it increasingly difficult for us to predict our revenues and earnings into the future. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Our contracts may be
terminated for convenience of the customer or for default. </I></B>Our contracts with governments often contain provisions permitting termination for convenience of the customer. Our subcontracts with non-governmental prime contractors sometimes
contain similar provisions. In a minority of these contracts, an early termination for convenience would not entitle us to reimbursement for our incurred contract costs and a proportionate share of our fee or profit for work performed. Moreover, our
contracts could be terminated for default if we fail to meet material contractual obligations, causing us liability in certain cases in excess of the amounts paid or payable to us under the applicable contract. </FONT></P> <P

suppliers depend on receipt of export license approvals from the Israeli government, the U.S. government and other governments. Such licenses and approvals also are required for technological exchanges with our customers and for employment of our
technical personnel abroad. If we fail to obtain material approvals in the future, if material approvals previously obtained are revoked or if government export policies change, our ability to sell our products and services to overseas customers and
our ability to obtain goods and services essential to our business could be interrupted, resulting in a material adverse effect on our business, revenues, assets and results of operations. See Item&nbsp;4. Information on the Company &#150;

required to comply with specific procurement rules and regulations, which increase our performance and compliance costs. See Item&nbsp;4. Information on the Company &#150; Governmental Regulation. If these rules and regulations change, our costs of
complying with them could increase and reduce our margins. In addition, failure to comply with these rules and regulations could result in reductions of the value of contracts, contract modifications or termination, and the assessment of penalties
and fines, which could negatively impact our results of operations and financial condition. Failure to comply with these rules and regulations could also lead to suspension or debarment from government contracting or subcontracting for a period of

Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). The funding obligations for our pension plans are impacted by the performance of the financial markets, and in a low interest rate environment the likelihood of required contributions in the
future increases. If the financial markets do not provide the long-term returns that are expected, the likelihood of our being required to make contributions to these pension plans will increase. Because of the volatility in the equity markets, our
estimate of future contribution requirements can change dramatically in relatively short periods of time. Similarly, changes in interest rates can impact our contribution requirements. See Item&nbsp;18. Financial Statements &#150; Notes 2(Q) and 15.

affected by exchange rate changes during the period from the date we submit a price proposal until the date of contract award or until the date(s) of payment. Moreover, since a significant portion of our expenses is denominated in NIS, if we do not

periods of up to five years or more, particularly for contracts where the customer has options to purchase additional items. In addition, when we have supplied a system for an aircraft, ground vehicle or seacraft, we sometimes have the potential to
supply other items for that platform. If a customer is dissatisfied with our performance on a particular program or if the customer&#146;s priorities change, it could negatively affect our ability to receive follow-on business. Inability to obtain
follow-on business could result in a loss of revenues and profit. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>A portion of our revenues depends on the commercial aviation

in fuel costs and the war on terrorism. The aviation industry is extensively regulated by government agencies. New air travel regulations have been, and management anticipates will continue to be, implemented that could have a negative impact on
airline and airport revenues. Due to recent financial difficulties in the aviation industry, we may not be able to continue to increase or even sustain sales levels of our avionic and aero structure products. If we are unable to increase or sustain
levels of sales in these areas, and we are not successful in reducing costs, our results of operations, financial position and cash flow will be adversely affected. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

contract price is not adjusted as long as the work performed falls within the original contract scope. Therefore, under these contracts, we generally assume the risk that increased or unexpected costs may reduce profits or generate a loss. The risk
can be particularly significant under a fixed-price contract involving research and development for new technology, where estimated gross profit or loss from long-term projects may change and such changes in estimated gross profit/loss are recorded
on a cumulative catch-up basis. See Item&nbsp;5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects &#150; General &#150; Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates &#150; Revenue Recognition. To the extent we underestimate the costs to be incurred in any
fixed-price contract, we could experience a loss on the contract, which would have a negative effect on our results of operations, financial position and cash flow. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

our profit margins may vary significantly from project to project as a result of changes in estimated project gross profits that are recorded in results of operations on a cumulative catch-up basis pursuant to the percentage-of-completion accounting

systems.</I></B> Despite our internal control measures, we may still be subject to financial reporting errors or even fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance that the
objectives of the control system are met. In addition, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefit of controls must be relative to their costs. These inherent limitations include the
realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Further, controls can be circumvented by individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more persons, or by
management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and any design may fail to achieve its stated goals, under some or all future conditions.
Over time, a control may be inadequate because of changes in conditions or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of inherent limitations in a cost effective control system, misstatements due to error or
fraud may occur and not be detected. See Item&nbsp;15. Controls and Procedures. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Risks Related to Our Israeli Operations </B></FONT></P> <P

Since the establishment of the State of Israel, a number of armed conflicts have taken place between Israel and its Arab neighbors. A state of hostility, varying in degree and intensity has led to security and economic problems for Israel. Since
2000, there have been ongoing hostilities between Israel and the Palestinians, which have adversely affected the peace process and at times have negatively influenced Israel&#146;s economy as well as its relationship with several other countries. In
2006, Israel experienced a war with Hezbollah militants in Lebanon. Hamas, an Islamist movement responsible for many attacks, including missile strikes, against Israelis, won the majority of the seats in the Parliament of the Palestinian Authority
in 2006 and took control of the entire Gaza Strip by force in 2007. In January 2009, Israel engaged in a military action against Hamas in Gaza to prevent continued rocket attacks against Israel. These developments have further strained relations
between Israel and the Palestinians. The current political situation between Israel and its neighbors may not improve. These political, economic and military conditions in Israel could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, results of operations and future growth. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Political relations could limit our ability to sell or buy
internationally.</I></B> We could be adversely affected by the interruption or reduction of trade between Israel and its trading partners. Some countries, companies and organizations continue to participate in a boycott of Israeli firms and others
doing business with Israel or with Israeli companies. Foreign government defense export policies towards Israel could also make it more difficult for us to obtain the export authorizations necessary for our activities. Also, over the past several
years there have been calls in Europe and elsewhere to reduce trade with Israel. There can be no assurance that restrictive laws, policies or practices directed towards Israel or Israeli businesses will not have an adverse impact on our business.

The Israeli government may reduce its expenditures for defense items or change its defense priorities in the coming years. There is no assurance that our programs will not be affected in the future if there is a reduction in Israeli government
defense spending for our programs or a change in priorities to products other than ours. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Israel&#146;s economy may become unstable.
</I></B>Over the years, Israel&#146;s economy has been subject to a number of factors that have affected its stability. These include periods of inflation, low foreign exchange reserves, fluctuations in world commodity prices, military conflicts and
civil unrest. For these and other reasons, the government of Israel has intervened in different sectors of the economy. Such intervention has included employing fiscal and monetary policies, import duties, foreign currency restrictions, controls of
wages, prices </FONT>

Israeli government has periodically changed its policies in all of these areas. Reoccurrence of previous destabilizing factors could make it more difficult for us to operate our business as we have in the past and could adversely affect our

fluctuated in recent years. For example, at the end of 2006, 2007 and 2008, the NIS/U.S. dollar exchange rate was 4.225, 3.846 and 3.802, respectively. This represented a strengthening of the NIS vis-&agrave;-vis the U.S. dollar of approximately
9.0% in 2007, and in 2008 there was significant fluctuation ending in an approximately 1% weakening of the NIS against the U.S. dollar. During the first two months of 2009, the U.S. dollar strengthened vis-&agrave;-vis the NIS by approximately 10%,
and the NIS/U.S. dollar exchange rate as of February&nbsp;28, 2009 was 4.162. While most of our sales and expenses are denominated in dollars, a significant portion of our expenses is paid in NIS, and most of our sales to customers in Israel are in
NIS. Our primary expenses paid in NIS that are not linked to the dollar are employee expenses in Israel and lease payments on some of our Israeli facilities. As a result, if we do not hedge our position, a change in the value of the NIS compared to
the dollar, which over the past year has undergone numerous fluctuations, could affect our research and development expenses, manufacturing labor costs and general and administrative expenses. See Item&nbsp;5. Operating and Financial Review and

defense industry requires Israeli government approval of an acquisition of a 25% or more equity interest (or a smaller percentage that constitutes a &#147;controlling interest&#148;) in companies such as Elbit Systems. This could limit the ability
of a potential purchaser to acquire a significant interest in our shares. See Item&nbsp;4. Information on the Company &#150; Governmental Regulation &#150; Approval of Israeli Defense Acquisitions. </FONT></P> <P

defense export controls and the export of &#147;dual use&#148; items (items that are typically sold in the commercial market but that may also be used in the defense market). Should government approvals required under these laws and regulations not
be obtained, our ability to export our products from Israel could be negatively impacted, including revocation of authorizations previously granted, thus causing a reduction in our revenues. See Item&nbsp;4. Information on the Company &#150;

law regulating export of &#147;dual use&#148; items (items that are typically sold in the commercial market but that also may be used in the defense market) became effective. Also, in 2007, a new Defense Export Control Law was adopted, and the

perform work for U.S. programs. Licenses are also required for Israeli nationals assigned to work in defense-related technical areas at our U.S. affiliated companies. An application for an export license or a TAA requires disclosure of the intended
sales of the product and the use of the technology. In recent years, the U.S. has implemented enhanced scrutiny of its export control regulations, and the U.S. government may deny an export authorization if it determines that a transaction is

use the funds to purchase products containing mainly U.S. origin components. In most cases, subcontracting under FMF contracts to non-U.S. entities is not permitted. As a consequence, Elbit Systems of America generally either performs FMF contracts
itself or subcontracts with U.S. suppliers. The U.S. government may authorize the IMOD to utilize a portion of the FMF budget under the United States Subcontracting Procurement (USSP) channel. In such cases, companies such as Elbit Systems or our
Israeli subsidiaries, who are acting as the Israeli prime contractor to the IMOD under the New Israeli Shekel funded portion of an a IMOD program, are authorized to negotiate and enter into a subcontract directly with a U.S. supplier. However,
payment of the funds under a USSP channel subcontract is administered by the IMOD Purchasing Mission to the U.S. Elbit Systems of America also participates in U.S. Foreign Military Sales (FMS) programs. </FONT></P> <P

credit to the customer, sometimes based on receipt of guarantees or other security. In other situations work is performed before receipt of the payment, which means that we finance all or part of the project&#146;s costs for various periods of time.
Financing arrangements may extend beyond the term of the contract&#146;s performance. When we believe it is necessary, we seek to protect all or part of our financial exposure by letters of credit, insurance or other measures, although in some cases

approximately 35% of our revenues in 2008 was dependent on products incorporating technology that a government customer may disclose to third parties. When the Israeli government funds research and development, it usually acquires rights to data and
title to inventions. We often may retain a non-exclusive license for such inventions. The Israeli government usually is entitled to receive royalties on export sales in relation to sales resulting from government financed development. However, if
only the end product is purchased, we normally retain the principal rights to the technology. Sales of our products to the U.S. government and some other customers are subject to similar conditions. Subject to applicable law, regulations and

assumed is judgmental in nature and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions, mainly with respect to intangible assets. Management makes estimates of fair value based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable. These estimates
are based on historical experience and information obtained from the management of the acquired companies and are inherently uncertain. While there are a number of different methods for estimating the value of intangible assets acquired, the primary
method used is the discounted cash flow approach. Some of the more significant estimates and assumptions inherent in the discounted cash flow approach include projected future cash flows, including their timing, a discount rate reflecting the risk
inherent in the future cash flows and a terminal growth rate. Another area which requires judgment and can impact our results of operations is estimating the expected useful lives of the intangible assets. Unanticipated events and circumstances may

SIZE="2">Our backlog includes firm commitments received from customers for systems, products and projects that have yet to be completed. Our policy is to include orders in our backlog only when specific conditions are met. Examples of these
conditions may include, among others, program funding, and receipt of advances, letters of credit and guarantees from customers. As a result, from time to time we could have unrecorded orders in excess of the level of backlog. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We reduce backlog when revenues for a specific contract are recognized. We reduce backlog as delivery or acceptance occurs or when contract milestones or
engineering progress under the long-term contracts are recognized as achieved. In some cases we reduce backlog when costs are incurred. In the unusual event of a contract cancellation, we would also be required to reduce our backlog accordingly. The
method of backlog recognition used may differ depending on the particular contract. Orders in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated periodically into U.S. dollars and recorded accordingly. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our backlog of orders as of December&nbsp;31, 2008 was $5,030 million, of which 72% was for orders outside Israel. Our backlog as of December&nbsp;31,
2007 was $4,624 million, of which 70% was for orders outside Israel. Approximately 75% of our backlog as of December&nbsp;31, 2008 is scheduled to be performed during 2009 and 2010. The majority of the 25% balance is scheduled to be performed in
2011 and 2012. Backlog information and any comparison of backlog as of different dates may not necessarily represent an indication of future sales. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="2"><B>Trends </B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Trends in the defense electronics and homeland security markets in which we operate have been impacted by the nature
of recent conflicts and terrorism activities throughout the world, increasing the focus of defense forces on low intensity conflicts and homeland security. Also, although it remains unclear whether and to what extent the new U.S. government
administration will curtail defense spending, current indications are that overall defense spending may see budget cuts in upcoming years. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="2">In the defense electronics market, there is an increasing demand for products and systems in the areas of C4ISR and unmanned vehicles. Accordingly, while we continue to perform platform upgrades, in recent years more emphasis is being
placed on C4ISR, including information systems, intelligence gathering, situational awareness, precision guidance, all weather and day/night operations, border and perimeter security, UAVs, other unmanned vehicles, space and satellite based defense
capabilities and homeland security systems. We believe that our core technologies and abilities will enable us to take advantage of many of these emerging trends, as well as to continue to participate in the &#147;Current Force&#148; legacy
operations of our customers. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In recent years consolidation in the defense industry has affected competition. This consolidation has
decreased the number but increased the relative size and resources of our competitors. We adapt to evolving market conditions by adjusting our business strategy. Our business strategy also anticipates increased competition in defense markets due to
declining defense budgets in certain countries. The recent financial developments world wide may reduce defense spending. However, we believe in our ability to compete on the basis of our systems development and technological expertise,
combat-proven performance and policy of offering customers overall solutions to technological, operational and financial needs and at the same time enhancing the industrial capabilities in certain of our customers&#146; countries. </FONT></P> <P

negative 0.1% and the devaluation rate was negative 8.2% (representing a strengthening of the NIS against the U.S. dollar). In 2007, the inflation rate was approximately 3.4% and the devaluation rate was negative 9%. In 2008, the inflation rate was
approximately 3.8% and the devaluation rate was 1%. There can be no assurance that we will not be materially adversely affected in the future if inflation in Israel exceeds the devaluation of the NIS against the U.S. dollar or if the timing of such

decreasing the dollar value of any of our assets that consist of NIS or accounts receivable denominated in NIS, unless such assets or accounts receivable are linked to the U.S. dollar. Such a devaluation also has the effect of reducing the U.S.
dollar amount of any of our liabilities that are payable in NIS, unless such payables are linked to the U.S. dollar. On the other hand, any increase in the value of the NIS in relation to the U.S. dollar will have the effect of increasing the U.S.

became effective with respect to all claims by IS&amp;S and Kollsman against each other in the United States District Court for the Western District of Tennessee, and a corresponding consent order was entered. Under the settlement agreement, all
claims between IS&amp;S and Kollsman were dismissed with prejudice, a final agreed injunction was entered and the matter was fully and finally mutually settled without any admission of guilt by either party. In addition, an agreed settlement payment
of $17 million was made by Kollsman to IS&amp;S. The financial impact of the settlement has been reflected in the Company&#146;s consolidated financial statements. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT

New York by certain minority shareholders and holders of expired warrants of ImageSat against ImageSat, IAI, Elbit Systems and certain current and former officers and directors of ImageSat. ImageSat&#146;s largest shareholder is IAI, holding
approximately 46% of ImageSat&#146;s issued share capital. Elop holds approximately 14% (7% on a fully diluted basis) of ImageSat&#146;s issued share capital and is entitled to nominate one director to ImageSat&#146;s board. The former and current
directors of ImageSat named as defendants include, among others, Michael Federmann, Joseph Ackerman, Joseph Gaspar and the Estate of Jacob Toren (collectively the Individual Defendants), who were each nominated at various times by Elop to serve as a
director of ImageSat. Currently, Michael Federmann, Joseph Ackerman and Joseph Gaspar serve as Elbit Systems&#146; Board Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, respectively. In March 2008, the plaintiffs amended the complaint
and named Elop as an additional defendant. The claim contained various allegations that the defendants allegedly breached their fiduciary and/or contractual obligations to the detriment of the plaintiffs. The claim alleged various causes of action
and damages aggregating hundreds of millions of dollars, not all of which were alleged against Elbit Systems, Elop and/or each of the Individual Defendants. In July 2008, the court dismissed the claim on the grounds of forum non conveniens. Shortly
thereafter, the plaintiffs appealed dismissal of the claim to the U.S. Federal Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, which appeal is currently pending. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In August 2008 and in December of 2008, certain additional minority shareholders and debtholders of ImageSat filed claims, of a substantially similar nature, against the defendants in the U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York. Elbit Systems believes that there is no merit or basis to the allegations made in the three existing legal proceedings against it, Elop or the current or former ImageSat directors who were nominated by Elop and Elbit
Systems. IAI has agreed to indemnify Elbit Systems, Elop and the directors nominated by Elop to ImageSat&#146;s board, for any losses arising out of any of the foregoing claims or legal proceedings, net of insurance proceeds received from
ImageSat&#146;s insurance policies and any indemnification proceeds received from ImageSat. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Elop &#150; Rafael
Arbitration</I></B><B>.</B> In 2007, Elop initiated an arbitration claim against Rafael in an amount equivalent to approximately $53.4 million in damages, relating to a subcontract under which Rafael was a subcontractor to Elop. Rafael filed a
counterclaim against Elop in an amount of approximately $15 million. In March 2009, Elop and Rafael signed a settlement agreement according to which Rafael will pay certain amounts to Elop to recover certain agreed damages. The results of the
settlement did not have a material effect on the Company&#146;s results of operations or financial position. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Other Legal

disclose to the company any information or documents relating to the company&#146;s affairs that the Officer Holder has received due to his or her position as an Office Holder. Under the Companies Law voting agreements among directors are considered
a breach of fiduciary duty. In addition, all compensation arrangements between a company and Office Holders who are not directors require approval of the board of directors, and such compensation arrangements that are extraordinary also require the

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Dividends paid by Elbit Systems to a shareholder resident in the United States are generally subject to withholding tax deducted at source in Israel. Israel and the United States are parties to a tax treaty. Under the
treaty, the withholding tax rate on a dividend is normally 25% (after Amendment 147 &#150; 20%) of the dividend amount, or 15% in connection with an Approved Enterprise / Privileged Enterprise. </FONT></P> <P

conditions. The reduced withholding tax rate on the dividend would be 12.5%. The U.S. corporation must own at least 10% of the voting shares during the portion of Elbit Systems&#146; tax year before the payment of the dividend and during the entire
prior tax year. The reduced rate is also subject to two other conditions. First, not more than 25% of Elbit Systems&#146; gross income for the prior tax year could consist of interest, other than interest received from banking, financing or similar
businesses or from certain subsidiaries. Second, the dividend cannot be derived from income during any period for which Elbit Systems is entitled to the reduced tax rate applicable to an Approved Enterprise / Privileged Enterprise. In this case the
withholding tax rate would be 15%. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Under the terms of the tax treaty, Israel may tax, subject to any exemptions under Israeli law, any

ordinary shares will generally be eligible for credit against a U.S. shareholder&#146;s U.S. federal income tax liability at such U.S. shareholder&#146;s election. The U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, provides limitations on the
amount of foreign tax credits that a U.S. shareholder may claim, including extensive separate computation rules under which foreign tax credits allowable with respect to specific categories of income cannot exceed the U.S. federal income taxes
otherwise payable with respect to each such category of income. U.S. shareholders that do not elect to claim a foreign tax credit may instead claim a deduction for Israeli income tax withheld or paid, but only for a year in which these U.S.
shareholders elect to do so for all foreign income taxes. Dividends with respect to the ordinary shares will generally be classified as foreign source &#147;passive income&#148; for the purpose of computing a U.S. shareholder&#146;s foreign tax
credit limitations for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. The rules relating to foreign tax credits are complex, and each U.S. holder of our ordinary shares should consult his or her tax advisor to determine whether and if he or she would be entitled

No.&nbsp;133, &#147;Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedge Activities&#148; (SFAS 133), these contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. The gain on the effective portion of a cash flow hedge is initially reported as a component of
accumulated other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into revenues when the hedged exposure affects revenues, or as financial expenses, if the hedged transaction becomes probable of not occurring. Any gain after a hedge is

issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the &#147;COSO criteria&#148;). Elbit Systems&#146; management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment
of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management&#146;s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on Elbit Systems&#146; internal control
over financial reporting based on our audit. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included
obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing
such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="2">A company&#146;s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company&#146;s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1)&nbsp;pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately
and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2)&nbsp;provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3)&nbsp;provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company&#146;s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk

purchase or at the time marketable securities were first consolidated as a result of an acquisition. At December&nbsp;31, 2008 and 2007, all of the Company&#146;s investments in marketable securities were reported at fair value. Fair value is
determined based on observable market value quotes or in case market value quotes are not available, using valuation models including assessments of counterparty credit worthiness, credit default risk, underlying security type of collaterals risk
premium and overall capital market liquidity conditions. Declines in fair value that are considered other-than-temporary are charged to earnings and those that are considered temporary are reported, net of tax, as a component of accumulated other
comprehensive income (&#147;OCI&#148;) in shareholders&#146; equity. The Company uses the average cost method of determining the cost basis in computing realized gains and losses on the sale of its available-for-sale securities. Realized gains and
losses are included in Financial expense, net (see Notes 8(B) and 21). During 2008 and 2007, other-than-temporary impairment loss on available for sale marketable securities amounted to $18,714 and $10,027, respectively. </FONT></P> <P

SIZE="2">Management evaluates investments in affiliates and other companies for evidence of other-than- temporary declines in value. When relevant factors indicate a decline in value that is other-than-temporary the Company recognizes an impairment
loss for the decline in value. A judgmental aspect of accounting for investments involves determining whether an other-than-temporary decline in value of the investment has been sustained. Such evaluation is dependent on the specific facts and
circumstances. Accordingly, management evaluates financial information (e.g. budgets, business plans, financial statements, etc.) in determining whether an other-than-temporary decline in value exists. Factors indicative of an other-than-temporary
decline include recurring operating losses, credit defaults and subsequent rounds of financings at an amount below the cost basis of the investment. This list is not all inclusive and management weighs all quantitative and qualitative factors in
determining if an other-than-temporary decline in value of an investment has occurred. During 2008, an impairment loss of $10,514 related to the investment in Sandel Avionics Inc. (&#147;Sandel&#148;) was recognized (see Note 6(C)). During 2007 and

recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. If a derivative meets the definition of a hedge and is so designated, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative will either be offset against the
change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings (for Cash Flow hedge transactions) or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings (for Fair Value hedge
transactions). The ineffective portion (which was immaterial during 2008, 2007 and 2006) of a derivative&#146;s change in fair value is recognized in earnings. If a derivative does not meet the definition of a hedge the changes in the fair value are

fair value of plan assets; and 3) a reconciliation of beginning and ending balances for fair value measurements of plan assets using significant unobservable inputs. The FSP will be effective for fiscal years ending after December&nbsp;15, 2009,

&#147;Post PC&#148; solutions, focused on enabling server-based-computing technologies to replace traditional PCs and deploy and control large numbers of workstations. In July 2007, Chip PC completed an initial public offering (&#147;IPO&#148;) on
the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (&#147;TASE&#148;). Following the offer, Chip PC became a publicly-traded company registered in Israel. As a result of the IPO, the Company recognized in 2007 an immaterial loss. The Company has significant influence in
Chip PC due to its representatives in the Board of Directors and as such the investment is recorded according to the equity method of accounting. As of December&nbsp;31, 2008, the Company identified impairment indicators in Chip PC and wrote-down
the investment in Chip PC to its fair market value of $665, recognizing an impairment loss of approximately $800, included in equity in net earnings of affiliated companies. </FONT></TD></TR></TABLE> <P

December&nbsp;22, 2008, a definitive agreement was signed with St. Jude Medical to sell all of Mediguide&#146;s outstanding shares (see Note 22). As a consequence, the Company sold its entire interest in Mediguide in December 2008 (see Notes 1(F)

transfer for commercial aircraft. In May 2007, Starling completed an IPO on the TASE. Following the offering, Starling became a publicly-traded company registered in Israel, and the Company&#146;s share ownership in Starling was diluted from
approximately 21% to approximately 16% (or 10% on a fully diluted basis). In addition, the Company holds 52,358 options on debenture convertible shares issued by Starling. As a result of Starling&#146;s IPO, the Company recorded in 2007 a gain in
the amount of approximately $595 as an increase to shareholders equity, since Starling is a development stage company. </FONT></TD></TR></TABLE> <P STYLE="font-size:6px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">&nbsp;</P>

compensation. Annual contributions to the Plans are determined using the unit credit actuarial cost method and are equal to or exceed the minimum required by law. Pension fund assets of the Plans are invested primarily in stock, bonds and cash
through a financial institution, as the investment manager of the Plans&#146; assets. Pension expense is allocated between cost of sales and general and administrative expenses, depending on the responsibilities of the employee. The measurement date
for the EFW and Kollsman benefit obligation is December&nbsp;31. In November 2008, ESA ratified a new union agreement, which resulted in a higher multiplier for benefit payments. Additionally, in 2008, ESA revised its retirement and mortality
estimates based on more recent experience factors, which resulted in 2008 as actuarial loss. </FONT></TD></TR></TABLE> <P STYLE="font-size:6px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">&nbsp;</P>

</TABLE> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:8%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In developing the overall expected long-term rate of return on assets assumption, ESA used a
building block approach in which rates of return in excess of inflation were considered separately for equity securities, debt securities, real estate and all other assets. The excess returns were weighted by the representative target allocation and
added along with an approximate rate of inflation to develop the overall expected long-term rate of return. It is the policy of ESA to at least meet the ERISA minimum contribution requirements for a Plan year. The minimum contribution requirements
for the 2008 Plan year and the quarterly contributions requirements for the 2008 Plan year have been satisfied as of December&nbsp;31, 2008. However, ESA anticipates that it will make an additional discretionary contribution of approximately $15,607
during 2009 in order to increase the Plan&#146;s funded current liability percentage. Benefit payments over the next five years are expected to be $2,209 in 2009; $2,560 in 2010; $2,894 in 2011, $3,405 in 2012 and $3,899 in 2013. </FONT></P> <P

401(k) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. Employees may elect to contribute a percentage of their annual gross compensation to the 401(k) plan. ESA may make discretionary matching contributions as determined by ESA. Total expense under the 401(k)
plan amounted to $3,115, $2,738 and $2,503 for the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Expense for the deferred 401(k) plan is allocated between cost of sales and general and administrative expenses depending on the

STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:8%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In 2007, ESA implemented two new benefit plans for the executives of the organization. The non-qualified, defined contribution plan is structured under
Section&nbsp;409(A). The plan provides the employees at vice president level and above the opportunity to defer up to 100% of their salary and bonus or any amount below that to the 409(A) plan. ESA will provide a match of 50 cents on the dollar up
to 10% of the employees&#146; total salary and incentive based compensation. The contribution can be made into the 401(k) plan, the 409(A) plan or both plans. The intent was to provide comparable defined contribution plan benefits for the senior
management across three ESA locations. The 409(A) plan funds are contributed to several life insurance policies. Participant contributions transferred into the plan totaled $519 in 2008 and $485 in 2007, and the total ESA contribution to the plan
was $93 for 2008 and $92 for 2007. The cash surrender value of these life insurance policies was $1,393 and $1,414 at December&nbsp;31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. As of December&nbsp;31, 2008, no executive had vested in the plan. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:8%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The second plan implemented is a non-qualified, defined benefit plan for the top four executives of ESA. The plan provides a calculated, guaranteed
payment in addition to their regular pension through the company upon retirement. The plan is funded with several life insurance policies. They are not segregated into a trust or otherwise effectively restricted.&nbsp;These policies are corporate
owned assets that are subject to the claims of general creditors and cannot be considered as formal plan assets.&nbsp;The defined benefit plan put in place meets the ERISA definition of an unfunded deferred compensation </FONT>

No. 109&#148; (&#147;FIN 48&#148;). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainties in income taxes by establishing minimum standards for the recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Under the
requirements of FIN 48, the Company must review all of its tax positions and make a determination as to whether its position is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by regulatory authorities. If a tax position meets the
more-likely-than-not standard, then the related tax benefit is measured based on a cumulative probability analysis of the amount that is more-likely-than-not to be realized upon ultimate settlement or disposition of the underlying issue. The impact
on the Company&#146;s consolidated financial position and results of operations as a result of the adoption of the provisions of FIN 48 was $4,846, which was recognized as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. </FONT></TD></TR></TABLE> <P

another. The ability to fulfill the buy-back obligations may depend, among other things, on the availability of local suppliers with sufficient capability to meet our requirements and which are competitive in cost, quality and schedule. In certain

ImageSat International N.V. (&#147;ImageSat&#148;), Israel Aerospace Industries, Ltd. (&#147;IAI&#148;), the Company and certain current and former officers and directors of ImageSat. ImageSat&#146;s largest shareholder is IAI, holding approximately
46% of ImageSat&#146;s issued share capital. Elop holds approximately 14% (7% on a fully diluted basis) of ImageSat&#146;s issued share capital and is entitled to nominate one director to ImageSat&#146;s board. The former and current directors of
ImageSat named as defendants include, among others, Michael Federmann, Joseph Ackerman, Joseph Gaspar and the Estate of Jacob Toren (collectively the Individual Defendants), who were each nominated at various times by Elop to serve as a director of
ImageSat. Currently, Michael Federmann, Joseph Ackerman and Joseph Gaspar serve as the Company&#146;s Board Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, respectively. In March 2008, the plaintiffs amended the complaint and named
Elop as an additional defendant. The claim contained various allegations that the defendants allegedly breached their fiduciary and/or contractual obligations to the detriment of the plaintiffs. The claim alleged various causes of action and damages
aggregating hundreds of millions of dollars, not all of which were alleged against the Company, Elop and/or each of the Individual Defendants. In July 2008, the court dismissed the claim on the grounds of forum non conveniens. Shortly thereafter,
the plaintiffs appealed dismissal of the claim to the U.S. Federal Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, which appeal is currently pending. </FONT></TD></TR></TABLE> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:13%"><FONT

employees, who are expected to contribute to the Company&#146;s future growth and success. The options were allocated, subject to the required approvals, in two tracks as follows: (i)&nbsp;Regular Options &#150; up to 1,250,000 options exercisable
into 1,250,000 shares of Elbit Systems in consideration for the exercise price, all or any portion of which may be granted as Incentive Stock Options (&#147;Regular Options&#148;), and (ii)&nbsp;Cashless Options &#150; up to 1,250,000 options, which
entitle the participant to exercise options for an amount reflecting only the benefit factor (&#147;Cashless Options&#148;). Each of the participants is granted an equal amount of Regular Options and Cashless Options. The exercise price for Israeli
participants is the average closing price of Elbit Systems&#146; share during 30 trading days preceding the options grant date. The exercise price of options granted to a non-Israeli participant residing in the United States is the fair market value
of the share on the day the options were granted. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:8%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">According to the Plan, the options granted on a certain date (the &#147;Commencement

<TD ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In December 2007, Elbit Systems U.S. Corp (&#147;ESC&#148;), a wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary of Elbit Systems, adopted a Stock Appreciation Rights Plan for Non-Employee Directors of
Elbit Systems of America, LLC (the &#147;SAR Plan&#148;). ESC owns the shares of ESA. The purpose of the SAR Plan is to facilitate the retention of qualified and experienced persons to serve as &#147;Non-Employee Directors&#148; of ESA by providing
them additional financial incentives. A &#147;Non-Employee Director&#148; is a director of ESA who is not an officer or employee of ESA, or any of its affiliated companies. </FONT></TD></TR></TABLE> <P
STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:8%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Under the Plan, the Board of ESC may grant Stock Appreciation Rights (&#147;SARs&#148;) from time to time to Non-Employee Directors of ESA. A SAR is a
right that, in accordance with the terms of the SAR Plan, entitles the holder to receive, on the exercise date of the SAR, cash in an amount equal to the excess of the &#147;Fair Market Value&#148; of the &#147;Stock&#148; corresponding to the SAR
at the time of exercise of the SAR over the &#147;Initial Value of the Stock&#148;. &#147;Stock&#148; means Elbit Systems Ordinary Shares. Each SAR corresponds to a share of Stock. &#147;Fair Market Value&#148; with respect to the Stock means the
closing price of the Stock on the Nasdaq on the applicable date. &#147;Initial Value&#148; of a SAR means the Fair Market Value of one share of Stock on the grant date of the SAR. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:8%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">A SAR may only be exercised after it becomes vested. 25% of any SAR&#146;s granted are exercisable on the first anniversary from the grant date and an
additional 25% on each subsequent anniversary. The maximum term of a SAR is five years from the grant date. SAR&#146;s do not provide any rights as a shareholder in the Stock. On January&nbsp;2, 2008, the Board of Directors of ESC issued a total of
21,000 SARs to Non-Employee Directors of ESA, at an Initial Value of $61.42 per SAR. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="font-size:6px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">&nbsp;</P>
