Directors Report
for the Nine Month
Period ended September 30, 2003
We are pleased to present our Directors Report on the financial condition of our company for the three and nine months period ended September 30, 2003.
RoboGroup T.E.K. Limited and its Business Environment
RoboGroup T.E.K. Limited (RoboGroup) and its subsidiaries will be referred to in this Directors Report as the Company.
The Company operates through three business sectors. The first sector focuses on the traditional business activities of the Company the education field. This sector includes the Companys research and development sections, the operations section, the marketing and sales of the Companys products, as well as products manufactured by third parties and the e-learning products to the training and educational markets in Israel and worldwide. As of May 2003, this sector is managed by Mr. Rafael Aravot, RoboGroups CEO, and Messrs. Haim Schleifer and Noam Kra-Oz, co-general managers of RoboGroup.
The second sector includes our subsidiary, Yaskawa Eshed Technology Ltd. (YET), which is engaged in the development and manufacture of motion control products for the industrial market.
The third sector manages the activities of our subsidiaries MemCall LLC and MemCall Ltd. (together, MemCall).
During the third quarter of 2003, the educational sector implemented additional cost- cutting measures, including personal cuts.
In November 2003, the Company received an order for training products in the amount of approximately US $ 1 million. Revenues from this order will be reflected in our financial reports of 2004.
During the third quarter, as in the first nine months of 2003, we continued our heavy R&D efforts in developing our e-learning and distance learning line of products, named LearnMate and TrainNet. LearnMate is a web based learning environment that combines content and management for asynchronous delivery of lessons over the internet. LearnMate Content provides hundreds of hours of interactive training in Industrial Technology for either virtual learning or for a hands on lab environment. LearnMate LCMS (Learning Content Management System), a virtual campus, manages the online learning including registration, reports, administration, content creation, content delivery and community collaboration.

LearnMate Live (synchronous) is an e-learning system that allows instructors to conduct and manage live lessons to remote sites via the internet. LearnMate Live gives instructors the tools to create and manage the virtual classroom and reach numerous remote students. TrainNet is a live interactive distance learning system, which enables instructors to conduct and manage live lessons from a central location to any number of remote sites, over broadband communication channels like satellite or DSL. TrainNet enables student to see and hear and interact with the teacher as if they were in an actual classroom. The TrainNet product line was acquired from Mentergy Ltd in December 2002.
The Company has been actively promoting and marketing its e-learning and Distance Learning products and during the second and third quarters of 2003 the Company received orders for LearnMate and for TrainNet from customers in various markets.
We believe that the combination of the acquired TrainNet product line and the LearnMate products will provide our customers with unique solutions for distance learning.
During the third quarter of 2003 YET received approximately US $ 638 thousands for development services and in royalties from Yaskawa Electronic Corporation (YEC). During the third quarter of 2003, YET sold approximately US $45 thousands of its products.
According to the decisions of YETs board of directors, YET continued the advanced stages of the development of the XtraDrive (Advanced Server Driver) during the first nine months of 2003. In early 2003 it was made clear to YET that YEC would not distribute YET products in the US and that it would need to establish an independent marketing network in the US. YET began to investigate marketing channels in the US market place and has continued its marketing and sales efforts in Israel and world-wide. YET also continued its efforts to market YECs products in Israel.
In November 2003, YET signed a distribution agreement with a European corporation, established by YEC and a third party, for the distribution of YETs products in Europe. New orders for these products were received by YET contemporaneously with the signing of this agreement.
In October 2003, YET signed an agreement with RoboGroup for supplying an e-learning system (synchronous and asynchronous) which includes both training content for YETs product XtraDrive (Advanced Server Driver), as well as LearnMate LCMS and LearnMate live The training products are intended for customers, agents and applications engineers. The order was amounted to approximately US$ 850 thousands.
- 3 -
In 2003, MemCall has dedicated its efforts to search for potential strategic partners (manufacturers and marketers in the global silicon market). MemCall is conducting negotiations with several potential strategic partners, which have not resulted in an agreement as of the date of this report.
To date, MemCall is also negotiating with several potential companies in the capital market in order to raise capital for its operations. Nevertheless, no assurance can be given that these negotiations will result in a financing or that such financing will be on advantageous terms.
RoboGroups investment in MemCall in the third quarter of 2003 has amounted to approximately NIS 0.85 million (US$ 0.19 million) and its total investment to date is approximately US$ 4.25 million, of which US$ 2 million was invested in the form of equity and the balance in the form of a US$ 2.25 million convertible loan. All of the investments in MemCall are recorded by the Company as current expenses in the quarter in which they are made (see Note 4 to the financial statements).
In the second quarter of 2003, MemCalls board of directors decided on a number of substantial cost-cutting measures in order to enable MemCall management to continue negotiations with potential strategic partners and investors within its approved budget.
RoboGroups Board of Directors has authorized MemCall to continue its efforts to attract a strategic partner and / or investor, although this might result in Memcall exceeding its approved budget. All future financial expenditures subject to a limit of US$ 250 thousand above the approved budget will be subject to the review of RoboGroups Board of Directors .
According to the above resolution, RoboGroups investment in MemCall should total to US$ 4.5 million.
The space in RoboGroups building in Rosh HaAyin that is not occupied by the Company is leased to three outside tenants. During the first nine months of 2003, the Company recorded approximately US$ 440 thousands in rental payments from these tenants.
In August 2003, a 780 square meter space in the building was vacated. The annual rent RoboGroup received for such space amounted to NIS 0.9 million. The Company is seeking a new tenant for the space, which efforts have been hindered by the prevailing high vacancy rates.

a. Currency Risks
The majority of the Companys products are exported, and as a result, the bulk of the Companys income is received in foreign currency. As a result, the Company is subject to risks from changes in the exchange rates of foreign currencies (mainly US$ and Japanese YEN). The Company undertakes the following precautions measures in order to limit its exposure:
1. | Daily monitoring of changes in the exchange rates of the various currencies as well as of factors that are bound to influence such currencies. |
2. | An evaluation of the Companys quarterly position with respect to the general exposure to changes in the various currencies. |
3. | Establishing foreign currency linked loans for the financing of its investments in its building. |
Notwithstanding these precautions, the Company cannot insure full protection against foreign currency risks and the Company is exposed to exchange rate fluctuations between various foreign currencies and the Israeli shekel.
The Company does not enter into specific hedging contracts against its exposure to changes in interest and index rates.
The Companys chief financial officer is responsible for managing the Companys market risks.
The Companys management and the finance committee of the Board of Directors constantly monitor the extent of the Companys exposure to market risks, and determine if it is necessary to modify the Companys risk management policy and, if necessary, adopt protective measures.
As of September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the Company had no outstanding futures contracts. The Company did not enter into any futures contracts in the first nine months of 2003.

a. | As at September 30, 2003 the Company had assets of approximately NIS 89.9 million, compared to assets of approximately NIS 104.6 million at December 31, 2002. The principal reason for the decrease was a decline of approximately NIS 6.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, which was offset in great measure by an approximately NIS 6.6 million decrease in accounts receivables. |
b. | The Companys equity was approximately NIS 37 million as of September 30, 2003, compared to approximately NIS 49.2 million as of December 31, 2002. The decrease in equity is a result of a loss of approximately NIS 11.7 million in the period. |

The companys revenues for the third quarter of 2003 amounted to approximately NIS 18 million, as compared to approximately NIS 26.5 million in the comparable 2002 period. The NIS 17.1 million decrease in income in the nine months ended September 30,2003, as compared to the corresponding period in 2002, was primarily attributable to reduced sales by the educational sector. |
The Companys cost of revenues for the first nine months of 2003 was approximately 55% of revenues, compared to approximately 47% in the corresponding period last year. |
The Companys operating expenses during the first nine months of 2003 were approximately NIS 30.5 million as compared to approximately NIS 29.5 million in the corresponding period last year. |

The Companys loss before taxes for the first nine months of 2003 amounted to approximately NIS 11.7 million compared to a profit of approximately NIS 3.1 million in the corresponding period last year. |
The Companys loss before taxes for the first nine months of 2003 excluding the approximately NIS 3.9 million investment in MemCall that was charged to expenses, amounted to approximately NIS 7.8 million compared to a profit before taxes of approximately NIS 8 million in the corresponding period last year. |

- 8 -
c. | Cash flows from investment operations |
In the first nine months of 2003 the Company had negative cash flow from investment operations of approximately NIS 141,000 as compared to negative cash flow of approximately NIS 1 million in the corresponding period last year. The negative cash flow for the first nine months of 2003 resulted mainly from the acquisition of fixed assets in this period. |
d. | Cash flows from financing operations |
In the first nine months of 2003 the Company had cash flow from financing operations of approximately NIS 1.2 million as compared to cash flowof approximately NIS 3.1 million in the corresponding period last year.The cash flow was mainly due to the repayment of approximately NIS 4.2 million of long term loans, which was offset by an increase in net short term credits from banking institutions of approximately NIS 3 million. |
a. | The Company had positive working capital at September 30, 2003. The current ratio as at September 30, 2003 was 1.44 compared with 1.88 as at December 31, 2002. The quick ratio as at September 30, 2003 was 1.01 compared with 1.41 as at December 31, 2002.

| A slowdown has been observed in the market for motion control products throughout the world. A more substantial slowdown was observed in the upper segment of the market (e.g. machines for the semi-conductor industries). YEC, which continues to be YETs principal customer, suffered a significant drop in sales of these product lines. This has also affected YETs business. Recently a slight improvement in the market has been observed. This improvement has not yet influenced YETs business. |
| A substantial slowdown was observed in the networking market, which is the principal potential market for MemCalls products. This has brought about a reduction in the potential market, a slower penetration of new technologies and products into the market, as well as a delay in investment activity in the market. The slowdown in the target markets for MemCalls potential products has had an adverse effect on MemCalls prospects. |
| In the global education market in general and in US market in particularl, institutional investments in educational infrastructure declined as a result of thelack of economic resources for institutional entities generally and for educational institutions in particular, due to the slowdown in the world economy and the increasing investments in security and safety markets. The decrease in financial resources available for educational products has brought about a reduction in potential sales. |
| The security and economic situation in the State of Israel has had a detrimental impact on the Companys business. Due the security situation partners and customers from abroad are hesitating to visit Israel and to continue developing their businesses in Israel. The recession in Israel and the cutbacks in the education budget have depressed the potential market for the Companys products in Israel. |

Notes to the Interim Financial Statements
(a) | The accompanying financial statements were prepared as of September 30, 2003 and for the nine-month and three month periods then ended. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys annual audited financial statements as of December 31, 2002 and for the year then ended, together with the notes thereto. |
(b) | These financial statements have been reviewed by the Companys certified public accountants. The review was conducted in accordance with the procedures established by the Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Israel regarding interim periods. The review was limited in scope and did not constitute an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and therefore no opinion was expressed by the Companys certified public accountants. |
(c) | In managements opinion all necessary adjustments were made in order to present correctly these interim financial statements. |
(I) | The significant accounting policies have been applied on a consistent basis with the annual audited financial statements of the previous year (December 31, 2002). |
(II) | The financial statements, including the comparison sums, have been prepared according to the historical cost convention, adjusted for changes in the purchasing power of the currency, on the basis of changes in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). In the nine month period ended September 30, 2003, the CPI decreased by approximately 1.5 %. In the year ended December 31, 2002, the CPI increased by 6.5 %. |
(III) | The adjusted financial statements at September 30, 2003 and for the nine month period then ended have been translated into US dollars solely for the convenience of the American reader. This translation was made at the US dollar/New Israeli shekel exchange rate in effect on the said date, i.e. US$ 1 = NIS 4.44. |
(IV) | In November 2002 the American Emergency Issues Task Force reached a consensus on Issue 00-21, addressing how to account for arrangements that involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services, and/or rights to use assets. The final consensus entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003 with early adoption permitted. In an arrangement with multiple deliverables, the delivered item(s) should be considered a separate unit of accounting if all of the following criteria are met. |
1. | The delivered item(s) has value to the customer on a standalone basis. |
2. | There is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered item(s). |
- 18 -
Notes to the Interim Financial Statements (Cont.)
3. | If the arrangement includes a general right of return relative to the delivered item, delivery or performance of the undelivered item(s) is considered probable and substantially in the control of the vendor. |
The Company has applied the EITF 00-21 guidance as of the third period of the 2003 fiscal year. The Companys previous policy was to recognize revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables at the time of their completion (completion of installation). |
In the Companys estimation, the new accounting standard specified above did not have a material effect on its results of operations, financial condition and cash flows for the three and nine month periods ending September 30 2003. At this time, the Company is unable to estimate the impact of applying the EITF 00-21 guidance in the future. |

Notes to the Interim Financial Statements (Cont.)
1. | Motion to Approve a Distribution |
On November 2002, RoboGroup filed a motion with the Tel Aviv District Court to approve a distribution by way of a purchase of Company shares, pursuant to Section 303 of the Israeli Companies Law, 1999. The Company had sought approval to use up to NIS 2,140 thousands (approximately $450,000) in connection with a proposed buyback of its outstanding ordinary shares. On April 29, 2003, the Company received an approval from the district court of Tel-Aviv on its motion. Future purchases under this approval may be made from time to time based on prevailing market prices. |
2. | Option Plans for Employees, Directors and Interested Parties |
(a). | On March 13, 2003, 773,500 options were allotted to the trustee for employees of the Company and its subsidiaries that are exercisable in consideration of a cash payment in NIS equal to US$ 0.91 per option. This plan was approved by RoboGroups Board of Directors in November 2002 and by the general shareholders meeting of the Company on December 17, 2002. The options are exercisable for 10 years, beginning January 1, 2003, and will be subject to the lock-up provisions of Section 102 of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance. |
(b). | In addition to the allotment described in Section 6.2, on March 13, 2003, 190,000 options were allotted to RoboGroups directors that are exercisable in consideration of a NIS cash payment equal to US$ 0.91 per share (the Directors Plan). The Directors Plan was approved by RoboGroups Board of Directors in November 2002 and at the general shareholders meeting of the Company on December 17, 2002. The terms governing the exercise and vesting of the options in the Directors Plan are identical to the terms of the employee stock option plan, subject to the provisions of applicable laws. |
