Dividend Policy and Dividend Distribution
In July 2003, the Board of Directors had adopted our dividend policy. We
have since distributed dividends four times and we intend to continue to
distribute cash dividends based on factors that include our cash position
and our activities.
Today, the Board of Directors resolved that the Company should seek the
court approval formally required in order to enable a distribution for the
year 2006 of approximately $4 million, which is similar to previous years'
average. Under Israeli law, a company with insufficient retained earnings
is required to obtain approval from the court for such a distribution in
order to ensure that the Company's creditors are not harmed by the action.
In view of the strong cash position of approximately $37 million, the
Company expects to obtain such court approval within eight to twelve weeks,
although there is no guarantee that such approval will not be delayed or
denied.
Prior to paying any dividend, which is still subject to specific Board
approval, the Company will issue a press release announcing the exact
dividend amount, record date and distribution date.
"Given our strong cash position and our positive operating cash flow, we
believe that our dividend policy enhances shareholders value," stated
Monica. "We are well positioned and have the required resources to respond
to potentially increasing market needs and at the same time we are focused
on targeting potential acquisitions that could benefit the company growth."
