We, in essence, sold our entire operating business. Following the consummation of the HP Transaction, we were essentially a shell company whose primary asset is cash and cash equivalents. It should also be noted that following the sale to HP, our principal shareholder sold all its shares to a new controlling shareholder, which nominated new members to our Board of Directors. Reporting discontinued operations, while there are no new operations, does not provide useful information. The notes to the 2007, 2008 and 2009 financial statements clearly disclose that we disposed of all of our operations. In 2010, we invested in th
e photovoltaic industry in Italy, which is unrelated to our old business that was sold to HP (development, manufacturing and sales of digital wide format and super-wide format printing systems for on-demand, short-run printing as well as related consumable products). Following the acquisition of the new operating business, we are reporting the results of operations of the old business, including those of comparative periods, as &#8220;discontinued operations&#8221;. In order to assist the readers of the financial statements to better distinguish between the results of the new operations from the results related to the old business, the operating results and cash flows attributed to the old business are presented as discontinued operations.</font></div>
