Management Comments

Following the investments in our company last year by some leading institutional funds, our balance sheet is healthy and we have the working capital to support and invest in our continued growth ahead. We plan to invest further in our growth engine, our software-defined tactical radars, where we currently see significant opportunities globally. In particular, and along with our cooperation with DRS Technologies, we see much potential in the U.S. market for our technology and plan to bolster our presence in the United States to capitalize on these opportunities. Looking ahead, as we announced a few weeks ago, we expect revenues to reach at least $18 million in 2017, representing a year over year growth of 40%.”
