In addition, following the acquisition of Raysat Antenna Systems ("RAS") on July 1, 2010, the Group develops and provides Satcom-on-the-Move antenna solutions. Following the acquisition of Wavestream Corp. ("Wavestream") on November 29, 2010, the Group develops and designs high power solid state amplifiers for military and commercial broadband communications, radar and imaging.

c.
Impairment of goodwill and technology related to Wavestream

The continuing pressure on the Department of Defense (DoD) budget in the United State along with uncertainties regarding the DoD's future spending as well as other elements, were reflected in the reduction of Wavestream's revenues and operating results in 2012 and in 2011. This led the Company to evaluate the value of Wavestream's tangible and intangible assets based on the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets in accordance with ASC 360 "Property, Plant and Equipment". The projected undiscounted cash flows as of December 31, 2012 indicated that the carrying amount of the technology deemed to be impaired. In order to assess the amount of the impairment, the Company estimated the fair value of the technology using the discounted cash flow method and as a result the Company recorded an impairment loss of $ 7,948.

In addition, in accordance with ASC 350 "Intangibles - Goodwill and Others", the Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test as of December 31, 2013. As a result of such impairment test in 2013 no impairment loss was recorded. As of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 the Company recorded goodwill impairment losses of $ 23,931 and $ 17,846, respectively, attributed to Wavestream reporting unit.

The material assumptions used for the income approach for 2013, 2012 and 2011 were five (5) years of projected cash flows, a long-term growth rate of 4% and a discount rate of 14.5%, 13.5% and 12.5%, respectively.

The impairment losses recorded in 2012 and in 2011 were recorded as part of "Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets" in the Statement of Operations and are attributed to the Defense segment.

 
d.
The Company depends on a major supplier to supply certain components and services for the production of its products or providing services. If this supplier fails to deliver or delays the delivery of the necessary components or services, the Company will be required to seek alternative sources of supply. A change in suppliers could result in manufacturing delays or services delays which could cause a possible loss of sales and, or, additional incremental costs and, consequently, could adversely affect the Company's results of operations and financial position.
