||||||
|
Three product candidates in development: OGX-011, OGX-427 and OGX-225. |
||||||
|
. Lead drug candidate, OGX-011, is currently in five phase 2 clinical trials investigating the |
||||||
|
potential to improve treatment outcomes for patients with prostate cancer, non-small cell lung |
||||||
|
cancer and breast cancer. |
||||||
|
. OGX-427, the second drug candidate, is currently being developed to improve treatment |
||||||
|
outcomes for patients with various solid and hematological cancers. OGX-427 is expected to enter |
||||||
|
clinical investigation in mid 2007. |
||||||
|
. Third drug candidate, OGX-225, is in pre-clinical development to assess its ability to inhibit or |
||||||
|
delay progression of hormone dependent and other tumors. |

|
Business |
||||||
|
. Seeking to develop products based on a recently discovered group of genes known as |
||||||
|
microRNAs. |
||||||
|
. MicroRNAs are naturally expressed, or produced, using instructions encoded in DNA and are |
||||||
|
believed to play an important role in regulating protein production. |
||||||
|
. Because proteins control most biological processes, ROSG believes that microRNAs have the |
||||||
|
potential to form the basis of a novel class of diagnostic tests and therapies for many serious |
||||||
|
illnesses, including cancer and infectious diseases. |
||||||
|
Focus & process |
||||||
|
. RSOG has decided to focus initial efforts on cancer, as research has indicated that microRNAs |
||||||
|
play a role in various types of tumors. |
||||||
|
. Has developed a discovery process that utilizes proprietary computer-based algorithms, which |
||||||
|
are procedures for solving complex problems, to scan the entire genome for microRNA |
||||||
|
candidates. |
||||||
|
. microRNA candidates are identified, RSOG conducts one or more biological experiments using |
||||||
|
tissue or body fluid samples to prove their existence, or expression, a process known as biological |
||||||
|
validation. |
||||||
|
Patent strategy |
||||||
|
. RSOG believes that it is the first commercial enterprise to focus on the emerging microRNA |
||||||
|
field, and as a result, RSOG believes it has developed an early and strong intellectual property |
||||||
|
position related to the development and commercialization of research, diagnostic and therapeutic |
||||||
|
products and other applications based on microRNAs. |
||||||
|
. RSOG's patent strategy is to seek broad coverage on all of identified microRNA sequences and |
||||||
|
then file patent applications claiming a novel chemical structure, or composition-of-matter, on |
||||||
|
individual microRNAs of commercial interest |
||||||
|
. To date, has filed patent applications with claims potentially covering approximately 350 |
||||||
|
biologically validated human microRNAs and 35 biologically validated viral microRNAs, which |
||||||
|
constitute more than half of all biologically validated human and viral microRNAs of which |
||||||
|
RSOG is aware. |
||||||
|
. In addition, patent applications cover thousands of genomic sequences that we have identified |
||||||
|
using our discovery process and believe are potential microRNA candidates. |
||||||
|
Competition |
||||||
|
. Products, if approved, will compete against existing non-microRNA-based diagnostic tests and |
||||||
|
therapies. |
||||||
|
. In addition, ROSG believes a significant number of non-microRNA-based diagnostic products |
||||||
|
and drug candidates are currently under development and may become available for the diseases |
||||||
|
ROSG is targeting or may target. |
||||||
|
. In addition to the competition ROSG may face from non-microRNA-based competing products, |
||||||
|
ROSG may also face competition from other companies working to develop novel products using |
||||||
|
technology that competes more directly with ROSG's microRNAs. |
||||||
|
. RSOG is aware of several other companies, including some collaborators, that are working to |
||||||
|
develop microRNA diagnostic and therapeutic products, including Alnylam Pharamceuticals, |
||||||
|
Asuragen, Celera, Invitrogen, Isis Pharmaceuticals, Merck, Santaris and others. |
||||||
|

||||||
|
data and are primarily used in telecommunications and data communications networks. |
||||||
|
. OPXT believes it has one of the most comprehensive transceiver product portfolios for both of |
||||||
|
these markets, particularly at the 10Gbps data rate |
||||||
|
. For the first time, achieved positive net income of $1.2 million during the quarter ended |
||||||
|
September 30, 2006 and net income was $3.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2006. |
||||||
|
Product portfolio |
||||||
|
. Consists of 10Gbps and 40Gbps transceiver modules, including tunable transceivers, a broad line |
||||||
|
of 2.5Gbps and lower speed SFP transceivers |
||||||
|
. Demand for 10Gbps and 40Gbps products which have grown from 38.9% of revenue in the year |
||||||
|
ended March 31, 2004 to 78.6% of revenue in the nine month period ended December 31, 2006. |
||||||
|
. Also has new or planned products for emerging standards such as SFP+ and XMD. |
||||||
|
Sales Comparisons |
||||||
|
> Three Month Periods Ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 |
||||||
|
. Overall sales increased $23.1 million or 59.9% to $61.7 million in the three month period ended |
||||||
|
December 31, 2006 from $38.6 million in the three month period ended December 31, 2005 |
||||||
|
including a decrease of $0.1 million due to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. |
||||||
|
. During the three month period ended December 31, 2006, 10Gbps and above products increased |
||||||
|
$23.2 million or 82.9% to $51.2 million and less than 10Gbps products increased $0.9 million or |
||||||
|
16.2% to $6.1 million while sales of industrial and commercial products decreased by $1.0 million |
||||||
|
or 19.3% to $4.3 million. |
||||||
|
. The increase in 10Gbps and above products primarily resulted from increased demand for 300 |
||||||
|
pin tunable, XENPAK, XFP, X2 and 40Gbps products while the increase in less than 10Gbps |
||||||
|
products primarily resulted from an increase in demand for SFP products offset by lower demand |
||||||
|
for our 2.5Gbps custom modules. |
||||||
|
. The decrease in sales of industrial and commercial products primarily resulted from volume |
||||||
|
decreases in DVD products that resulted from a last time buy arrangement through September |
||||||
|
2006 with a subsidiary of Hitachi, the sole customer for DVD products offset by increased |
||||||
|
demand for our other industrial and commercial products. |
||||||
|
. Salesof DVD products were $0.0 million and $1.9 million in the three month periods ended |
||||||
|
December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. |
||||||
|
> Compared to prior quarter |
||||||
|
. Sales also increased $6.4 million or 11.6% from $55.3 million in the previous quarter ended |
||||||
|
September 30, 2006. |
||||||
|
. This increase was primarily driven by a $8.3 million or 19.5% increase in 10Gbps and above |
||||||
|
products offset by a $2.3 million decrease in sales of our DVD products. |
||||||
|
> Quarter over quarter increases |
||||||
|
. Since the quarter ended June 30, 2005 OPXT has experienced quarter over quarter increases in |
||||||
|
total sales and sales of 10Gbps and above products in five of the six comparative periods, the only |
||||||
|
decrease occurring in the quarter over quarter period ended June 30, 2006. |
||||||
|
. During this period total sales decreased by $5.8 million or 12.5% primarily due to a $1.8 million |
||||||
|
or 5.7% decrease in 10Gbps and above products and a $3.4 million decrease in sales of DVD |
||||||
|
products. |
||||||
|
. The decrease in 10Gbps and above products primarily resulted from vendor supply and |
||||||
|
production delays which limited OPXT's ability to ship certain 300 pin modules, including |
||||||
|
tunable transceivers, and certain Xenpak modules. |
||||||
|
> Customer concentration |
||||||
|
. For the three month period ended December 31, 2006, Cisco and Alcatel-Lucent accounted for |
||||||
|
41.1% and 20.4% of revenues, respectively. |
||||||
|
. For the three month period ended December 31, 2005, Cisco and Alcatel, accounted for 26.0% |
||||||
|
and 12.7% of revenue respectively. |
||||||
|
. No other customers accounted for more than 10% of total sales in either period. |
||||||
|
Industry Background |
||||||
|
. Network service providers continue to add high speed network access such as Wi-Fi, WiMAX, |
||||||
|
3G, DSL, cable and FTTx, and are converging traditionally separate networks for delivering voice, |
||||||
|
video and data into IP-based integrated networks. |
||||||
|
. Concurrent with these trends, a growing demand for high bandwidth applications by both |
||||||
|
consumers and enterprises is driving increased network utilization across the core and at the edge |
||||||
|
of wireline, wireless and cable networks (collectively refered to as telecommunications networks) |
||||||
|
Solution providers outsourcing modules & component to suppliers like OPXT |
||||||
|
According to OPXT both telecommunications network systems vendors such as Alcatel-Lucent |
||||||
|
and data communications network systems vendors such as Cisco are producing optical systems |
||||||
|
increasingly based on 10Gbps and 40Gbps speeds. |
||||||
|
. Faced with technological and cost challenges, they are focusing on their core competencies of |
||||||
|
software and systems integration |
||||||
|
. And are relying upon established module and component suppliers, like Opnext, for the design, |
||||||
|
development and supply of critical hardware components such as products that perform the optical |
||||||
|
transmit and receive functions. |
||||||
|
Sell cycle |
||||||
|
The evaluation and qualification cycle prior to the initial sale of OPXT's products generally spans |
||||||
|
a year or more. |
||||||
|
Sales |
||||||
|
> Communications |
||||||
|
. Sales to telecommunication and data communication customers accounted for 92.9%, 90.5%, |
||||||
|
81.9%, 72.4% and 66.7% of sales during the three and nine month periods ended December 31, |
||||||
|
2006 and each of the years ended March 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively |
||||||
|
. For the year ended March 31, 2006, our top three customers, Cisco Systems, Hitachi together |
||||||
|
with its affiliates, and Alcatel accounted for 27.9%, 15.0% and 12.7% of sales, respectively and |
||||||
|
during the nine months ended December 31, 2006, Cisco and Alcatel-Lucent accounted for 37.3% |
||||||
|
and 19.7% of sales, respectively |
||||||
|
> Components |
||||||
|
Also supplies components to several major transceiver module companies and sell to select |
||||||
|
industrial and commercial customers. |
||||||
|
. Also during the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2006 and each of the years |
||||||
|
ended March 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, sales of products with 10Gbps or higher data rates, which |
||||||
|
OPXT refers to as its 10Gbps & above products, represented 82.9%, 78.6%, 69.4%, 58.7% and |
||||||
|
38.9% of total sales, respectively. |
||||||
|

Business |
||||||
|
. Biotechnology company focused on researching, developing, manufacturing and marketing |
||||||
|
biopharmaceutical products primarily in China. |
||||||
|
. Recombinant, or genetically engineered, protein-based products and product candidates are |
||||||
|
designed to address large markets with significant unmet medical needs in nephrology, oncology, |
||||||
|
supportive cancer care, inflammation and infectious diseases. |
||||||
|
. SSRX believes it is one of the leading biopharmaceutical companies in China in terms of growth |
||||||
|
and profitability |
||||||
|
Products |
||||||
|
Principal products are EPIAO and TPIAO. Legacy products are Intefen and Inleusin . |
||||||
|
> EPIAO |
||||||
|
EPIAO, the flagship product, is an injectable recombinant human erythropoietin, or EPO, that is |
||||||
|
used to stimulate the production of red blood cells in patients with anemia and to reduce the need |
||||||
|
for blood transfusions. |
||||||
|
. EPIAO is a protein-based therapeutic comparable in structure and function to Amgen Inc.'s |
||||||
|
Epogen and Kirin Brewery Company Limited's ESPO. |
||||||
|
. EPIAO is approved by the PRC State Food and Drug Administration, or the SFDA, for three |
||||||
|
distinct indications: anemia associated with chronic renal failure; red blood cell mobilization, |
||||||
|
which is the process in which red blood cells are stimulated to proliferate, before, during, and after |
||||||
|
surgery; and anemia associated with chemotherapy in cancer patients with non-myeloid |
||||||
|
malignancies, which are cancers that do not originate in the bone marrow or involve myeloid cells, |
||||||
|
or non-lymphocyte white blood cells found in the bone marrow. |
||||||
|
,. SSRX believes it is the only pharmaceutical company in China that has obtained approval from |
||||||
|
the SFDA for three indications of EPO drugs. |
||||||
|
Future EPIAO plans |
||||||
|
. Plans to initiate in 2008 clinical trials for NuPIAO, the second-generation EPIAO product |
||||||
|
candidate. |
||||||
|
. NuPIAO is designed to have a longer half-life relative to first-generation EPIAO. |
||||||
|
. In addition, are in late-stage clinical trials for a concentrated high dose (36,000 IU/vial) |
||||||
|
formulation of EPIAO, which is designed to allow for less frequent administration, benefiting both |
||||||
|
patients and doctors. |
||||||
|
. Expects to apply for marketing approval of high-dose EPIAO in 2007. |
||||||
|
. If approved, EPIAO believes it will be the highest EPO dosage formulation available in the |
||||||
|
Chinese market. |
||||||
|
Small market size for EPO drugs |
||||||
|
According to IMS Health, an independent research firm, revenues from all EPO drug sales in |
||||||
|
China were estimated at over RMB300 million (US$37.5 million) in 2005, representing a 20% |
||||||
|
compound annual growth rate from 2003. |
||||||
|
. EPIAO, as tracked by IMS Health, has been ranked as the number one EPO drug since 2002 in |
||||||
|
terms of both units sold and revenues among the foreign and domestic biopharmaceutical |
||||||
|
companies marketing EPO drugs in China. |
||||||
|
. SSRX has sold over 6.9 million vials of EPIAO since 1999. |
||||||
|
> TPIAO |
||||||
|
. Launched TPIAO, the newest internally developed protein-based therapeutic product, in January |
||||||
|
2006. This product is a recombinant human thrombopoietin, or TPO, indicated for the treatment of |
||||||
|
chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia, a deficiency of platelets. |
||||||
|
. TPIAO is the first TPO-based therapeutic approved by the SFDA for thrombocytopenia in China. |
||||||
|
. SSRX believes TPIAO is the only TPO-based therapeutic available in the Chinese market to |
||||||
|
date. |
||||||
|
. In addition, the SFDA has granted SSRX a five year monitoring period for TPIAO through 2010, |
||||||
|
during which other pharmaceutical companies are prohibited from manufacturing or importing a |
||||||
|
similar drug, except those whose applications for clinical trials were approved by the relevant |
||||||
|
Chinese authority prior to May 2005 at the commencement of TPIAO's monitoring period. |
||||||
|
. SSRX is are aware of at least one other Chinese pharmaceutical manufacturer whose application |
||||||
|
for clinical trials may have been approved by May 2005 and who may be in clinical trials for a |
||||||
|
TPO-based therapeutic. |
||||||
|
Financial results |
||||||
|
. For the two years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, EPIAO generated approximately 84.1% |
||||||
|
and 83.1% of overall net revenues, respectively. |
||||||
|
. Revenues from EPIAO accounted for 84.9% of our overall net revenues in the nine months ended |
||||||
|
September 30, 2005, compared to 78.7% for the same period in 2006. |
||||||
|
. The decrease resulted from the launch in early 2006 of TPIAO, which has rapidly become the |
||||||
|

Business |
||||||
|
. Ddeveloped the first and only commercially available intelligent robotic radiosurgery system, the |
||||||
|
CyberKnife system, designed to treat solid tumors anywhere in the body as an alternative to |
||||||
|
traditional surgery. |
||||||
|
. For over 30 years, traditional radiosurgery systems, or systems that deliver precise, high dose |
||||||
|
radiation directly to a tumor, have been used primarily to destroy brain tumors. |
||||||
|
The CyberKnife system |
||||||
|
. ARAY's image-guidance technology continuously acquires images to track a tumor's location |
||||||
|
and transmits any position corrections to the robotic arm prior to delivery of each dose of |
||||||
|
radiation. |
||||||
|
. ARAY's compact linear accelerator, or linac, is a compact radiation treatment device that uses |
||||||
|
microwaves to accelerate electrons to create high-energy X-ray beams to destroy the tumor. This |
||||||
|
combination, which refered to as intelligent robotics, extends the benefits of radiosurgery to the |
||||||
|
treatment of tumors anywhere in the body. |
||||||
|
. The CyberKnife system autonomously tracks, detects and corrects for tumor and patient |
||||||
|
movement in real-time during the procedure, enabling delivery of precise, high dose radiation |
||||||
|
typically with sub-millimeter accuracy. |
||||||
|
. Traditional radiosurgery systems have limited mobility and generally require the use of rigid |
||||||
|
frames attached to a patient's skull to provide a coordinate system to effectively target a tumor, |
||||||
|
restricting their ability to effectively treat tumors outside of the brain. The CyberKnife system |
||||||
|
does not have these limitations and therefore has increased flexibility to treat tumors throughout |
||||||
|
the body from many different directions, while minimizing the delivery of radiation to healthy |
||||||
|
tissue and vital organs. |
||||||
|
. The CyberKnife procedure requires no anesthesia, can be performed on an outpatient basis and |
||||||
|
allows for the treatment of patients that otherwise would not have been treated with radiation or |
||||||
|
who may not have been good candidates for surgery. |
||||||
|
. In addition, the CyberKnife procedure avoids many of the potential risks and complications that |
||||||
|
are associated with other treatment options and is more cost effective than traditional surgery. |
||||||
|
Sales cycle |
||||||
|
. ARAY's business and sales and installation cycle does not immediately create recognizable |
||||||
|
revenue. |
||||||
|
. As such, ARAY must invest in sales and marketing activities 12 to 18 months prior to realizing |
||||||
|
the revenue from those activities. |
||||||
|
FDA |
||||||
|
. The CyberKnife system received U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, 510(k) clearance |
||||||
|
in July 1999 to provide treatment planning and image-guided robotic radiosurgery for tumors in |
||||||
|
the head and neck. |
||||||
|
. In August 2001, the CyberKnife system received 510(k) clearance to treat tumors anywhere in |
||||||
|
the body where radiation treatment is indicated. The CyberKnife system has also received a CE |
||||||
|
mark for sale in Europe and has been approved for various indications in Japan, Korea, Taiwan, |
||||||
|
China and other countries. |
||||||
|
. Customers have reported that over 20,000 patients worldwide have been treated with |
||||||
|
the CyberKnife system since its commercial introduction. |
||||||
|
. Customers have increasingly used the CyberKnife system for indications outside of the brain, |
||||||
|
including for tumors on or near the spine and in the lung, liver, prostate and pancreas. |
||||||
|
. Based on customer data, more than 50% of patients treated with the CyberKnife system in the |
||||||
|
United States during the quarter ended September 30, 2006 were treated for tumors outside of the |
||||||
|
brain. |
||||||
|
Material Weaknesses in Internal Controls |
||||||
|
In connection with the audit of consolidated financial statements for the years ended June 30, |
||||||
|
2004, 2005 and 2006, ARAY's independent registered public accounting firm identified material |
||||||
|
weaknesses and significant deficiencies in our internal controls over financial reporting |
||||||
|
Intellectual property |
||||||
|
. As of December 31, 2006, held 11 U.S. patents, 3 allowed U.S. patent applications, 60 pending |
||||||
|
U.S. patent applications, and are pursuing additional U.S. patent applications on additional key |
||||||
|
inventions to enhance our intellectual property rights. |
||||||
|
. The first of the patents will expire in 2010 and currently the last of the patents will expire in 2004 |
||||||
|
. As of December 31, 2006, we also held 21 foreign patents, 18 pending published Patent |
||||||
|
Cooperation Treaty applications and 26 foreign patent applications which correspond to issued |
||||||
|
U.S. patents and pending U.S. patent applications. |
||||||
|
Competition |
||||||
|
. Traditional surgery, minimally invasive procedures, radiation therapy chemotherapy and other |
||||||
|
drugs are other means to treat cancer. |
||||||
|
. Also, competes directly with frame-based radiosurgery systems primarily from Elekta AB (publ), |
||||||
|
or Elekta, BrainLAB AG, and the Integra Radionics business of Integra Life Sciences Holding |
||||||
|
Corporation. |
||||||
|
. The market for standard linacs is dominated by three companies: Elekta, Siemens AG, or |
||||||
|
Siemens, and Varian Medical Systems, Inc., or Varian. |
||||||
|
. In addition, a new entrant, TomoTherapy Incorporated, or TomoTherapy, recently introduced a |
||||||
|
radiation therapy product. |
||||||
|
. The CyberKnife system does not perform radiotherapy, which uses low doses of radiation over a |
||||||
|
long period of time with fractionated treatments to kill cancer cells, and generally does not |
||||||
|
compete directly with standard medical linacs that perform traditional radiotherapy, although some |
||||||
|
manufacturers of standard accelerator systems, including Varian and Elekta, have products that |
||||||
|
can be used in combination with body and/or head frame systems and image-guidance systems to |
||||||
|
perform radiosurgery. |
||||||
|
Use of $100mm from sale of 7.3mm shares |
||||||
|
(shareholders intend to sell 6mm shares) |
||||||
|
o $40.0 million for sales and marketing activities to support the ongoing commercialization of the |
||||||
|
CyberKnife system, including, but not limited to, expansion of our sales force, additional |
||||||
|
participation in trade shows and symposia, and expanding our international sales and service |
||||||
|
presence; |
||||||
|
o $30.0 million for research and development activities, including support of hardware and |
||||||
|
software product development and clinical study initiatives; and |
||||||
|
o increased working capital and general corporate purposes. |

Business |
||||||
|
. Leading provider of cellular communications services in Israel in terms of number of subscribers, |
||||||
|
revenues and EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. |
||||||
|
. Upon launch of services in 1994, offered significantly lower prices for cellular communications |
||||||
|
services than the incumbent provider and transformed the nature of cellular telephone usage in |
||||||
|
Israel, turning it into a mass market consumption item. |
||||||
|
. Surpassed the incumbent cellular operator and became the market leader in terms of number of |
||||||
|
subscribers in 1998 and, despite the entry of two additional competitors, continued since then to |
||||||
|
have the highest number of subscribers. |
||||||
|
Subscribers & market share |
||||||
|
. As of September 30, 2006, we provided services to approximately 2.83 million subscribers in |
||||||
|
Israel with an estimated market share of 34.4%. |
||||||
|
. Closest competitors had market shares of 31.9% and 28.7%, respectively. |
||||||
|
History |
||||||
|
. Principal founding shareholders were Discount Investment Corporation Ltd., or DIC, a |
||||||
|
subsidiary of IDB Holding Corporation Ltd., or IDB, which prior to September 2005 indirectly |
||||||
|
held 25% of our share capital, and BellSouth Corporation and the Safra brothers of Brazil, which |
||||||
|
together indirectly held 69.5% of our share capital and voting rights in respect of an additional |
||||||
|
5.5% of CE:L's share capital. |
||||||
|
. IDB acquired the stakes of BellSouth and the Safra brothers in September 2005 and, following |
||||||
|
the sale of minority stakes to four groups of investors in 2006, IDB currently indirectly holds |
||||||
|
78.5% of share capital and voting rights in respect of an additional 5.5% of share capital. |
||||||
|
. Following the acquisition by IDB in 2005, IDB put in place a new management team, including |
||||||
|
Ami Erel, the Chairman of our Board of Directors, who had previously been President and CEO of |
||||||
|
Bezeq - The Israeli Telecommunications Corporation Ltd., or Bezeq, the incumbent landline |
||||||
|
provider, Amos Shapira, Chief Executive Officer, who had been CEO of Kimberly-Clark's Israeli |
||||||
|
subsidiary and El Al Airlines, and Tal Raz, Chief Financial Officer, one of the founders and |
||||||
|
formerly a director of Partner Communications Ltd., or Partner, one of the principal competitors. |
||||||
|
Initiatives |
||||||
|
The new management team has already implemented a series of initiatives to drive revenues. |
||||||
|
. In addition, between September 2005 and September 2006, while increasing the number of |
||||||
|
positions in units that deal directly with customers (such as sales and service), the new |
||||||
|
management reduced overall workforce by over 2%, primarily through the elimination of over |
||||||
|
16% of positions in units that do not deal directly with customers. |
||||||
|
. Contracts with the main suppliers were also renegotiated to reduce costs. |
||||||
|
. Following the implementation of these initiatives, revenues and operating income increased by |
||||||
|
approximately 9% and 24%, respectively, and general and administrative expenses decreased by |
||||||
|
5% in the first nine months of 2006 compared to the first nine months of 2005. |
||||||
|
Expectations |
||||||
|
. Notwithstanding these savings and management's continued focus on cost cutting initiatives, |
||||||
|
CEL expect that selling expenses will continue to increase as a result of sales commissions paid |
||||||
|
for new subscribers and increased marketing efforts. |
||||||
|
. Further, the higher cost of 3G enabled handsets to support advanced content and data services |
||||||
|
may increase the costs related to both subscriber acquisition and subscriber retention. |
||||||
|
Dividend Policy |
||||||
|
CEL's board of directors adopted a dividend policy to distribute each year at least 75% of annual |
||||||
|
net income determined under Israeli GAAP |
||||||
|
Competition |
||||||
|
Competes with three other cellular communication operators: |
||||||
|
. Partner, which is majority owned by Hutchison Whampoa; |
||||||
|
. Pelephone, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the incumbent landline provider, |
||||||
|
. Bezeq; and MIRS, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Motorola. |
||||||
|
Market shares |
||||||
|
. CEL's estimated market share based on number of subscribers was 34.4% as of September 30, '06 |
||||||
|
. CEL estimates the market shares at such time of Partner, Pelephone and MIRS were 31.9%, |
||||||
|
28.7% and 5% |
||||||
|
Competition expected to intensify |
||||||
|
. As a result of the implementation of number portability, which is likely to occur during 2007, as |
||||||
|
it will remove a deterrent to switching providers. |
||||||
|
. In addition, subject to policy formation by the regulator, mobile virtual network operators may |
||||||
|
enter into agreements with cellular providers and enter into the market, increasing the competition. |
||||||
|
. May also face competition in the future from other providers of voice and data communications, |
||||||
|
including service providers that may offer WiMAX or WiFi wireless high speed data access. |

|
. Manages $17.5 billion of Assets Under Management (AUM) that primarily makes significant, |
||||||
|
control-oriented investments in North America and Western Europe, with a focus on acquiring and |

> Hedge Funds |
||||||
|
Manages $9.4 billion of AUM comprised of two business segments; |
||||||
|
(i) hybrid hedge funds - which make highly diversified investments globally in undervalued and |
||||||
|
distressed assets, including loans, assets and corporate securities; and |
||||||
|
(ii) liquid hedge funds - which invest globally in fixed income, currency, equity and commodity |
||||||
|
markets and related derivatives to capitalize on imbalances in the financial markets |
||||||
|
> Publicly Traded Alternative Investment Vehicles, which refered to as ''Castles'' |
||||||
|
. $3.0 billion of aggregate market capitalization in two publicly traded companies managed by |
||||||
|
FIG. |
||||||
|
. The Castles currently invest primarily in real estate and real estate debt investments. |
||||||
|
Recent event |
||||||
|
. On January 17, 2007, Nomura Investment Managers U.S.A., Inc., a subsidiary of Nomura |
||||||
|
Holdings, acquired for $888.0 million 55,071,450 Class A Shares representing, immediately prior |
||||||
|
to this offering, 15% of the Fortress Operating Group. |
||||||
|
. Price was $16.15 per share |
||||||
|
. The company used the entire proceeds of the issuance to acquire a 15% interest in Fortress |
||||||
|
Operating Group from Fortress's principals. |
||||||
|
. Upon completion of this offering, Nomura's shares will represent approximately 13.7% of the |
||||||
|
Fortress Operating Group. |
||||||
|
Strategic partnership |
||||||
|
. Both parties agreed that Nomura will work with FIG to develop a strategy to market and sell FIG |
||||||
|
investment products. |
||||||
|
. FIG believes that a strategic relationship with Nomura, the largest leading Japanese financial |
||||||
|
institution, could provide FIG with access to Nomura's distribution capabilities in Asia. |
||||||
|
. In addition, FIG believes that its relationship will provide FIG with potential investment |
||||||
|
opportunities for the funds we manage. |
||||||
|
Favorable investment environment |
||||||
|
o The U.S. economy and capital markets have been robust during the periods presented, and FIG |
||||||
|
has successfully identified opportunities within other economies where trends have also been |
||||||
|
favorable for investment, such as Germany and the United Kingdom. |
||||||
|
o Institutions, high net worth individuals and other investors are increasing their allocations of |
||||||
|
capital to the alternative investment sector. As a leader in this sector based on the size, diversity |
||||||
|
and performance of FIG's funds, FIG has been and continue to be able to attract a significant |
||||||
|
amount of new capital, at least in part as a result of this trend. |
||||||
|
o Allocations of capital to the alternative investment sector are also dependent, in part, on the |
||||||
|
strength of the economy and the returns available from other investments relative to returns from |
||||||
|
alternative investments. |
||||||
|
. This, in turn, is also dependent on the interest rate and credit spread markets; as interest rates rise |
||||||
|
and/or spreads widen, returns available on other investments would tend to increase, which could |
||||||
|
slow capital flow to the alternative investment sector. |
||||||
|
. The global economy has experienced relatively steady and historically low interest rates and tight |
||||||
|
credit spreads during the periods presented, which has been favorable to FIG's business. |
||||||
|
Risks |
||||||
|
> Key-men risks |
||||||
|
. Depends on Messrs. Briger, Edens, Kauffman, Nardone and Novogratz, and the loss of any of |
||||||
|
their services would have a material adverse effect on FIG |
||||||
|
. Investors in most of our hedge funds may generally redeem their investment without paying |
||||||
|
redemption fees if the relevant principal ceases to perform his functions with respect to the fund |
||||||
|
for 90 consecutive days. |
||||||
|
. In addition, the decline of more than 20% of its assets under management of a fund following |
||||||
|
one of such ''key-men'' events would result in a default under the credit agreement. |
||||||
|
> Past successes not necessarily indicative of future results |
||||||
|
o the historical returns of our funds should not be considered indicative of the future results that |
||||||
|
should be expected from such funds or from any future funds FIG may raise; |
||||||
|
o FIG's private equity funds' rates of returns, which are calculated on the basis of net asset value |
||||||
|
of the funds' investments, reflect unrealized gains which may never be realized; |

|
Business |
||||||
|
. Manufacturers of high-performance solar cells based in China. |
||||||
|
. Derives revenues primarily from sales of solar cells to solar module manufacturers. |
||||||
|
. Made first commercial shipment in April 2006 from the first solar cell manufacturing line located |
||||||
|
in Ningjin, Hebei province, which has a rated manufacturing capacity of 25 MW per annum. |
||||||
|
. By the end of July 2006, the first solar cell manufacturing line was operating at its full capacity |
||||||
|
. Installed two additional manufacturing lines each with a rated manufacturing capacity of 25 MW |
||||||
|
per annum in the same facilities, which became fully operational in October 2006 and resulted in a |
||||||
|
total rated manufacturing capacity of 75 MW per annum. |
||||||
|
Recent declines in sales and prices |
||||||
|
Sales |
||||||
|
. Sales volume and average selling price in October 2006 have declined from those in September |
||||||
|
2006 due to weakened market demand, increased competition and changes in other market |
||||||
|
conditions. |
||||||
|
The decline in November 2006 production from October 2006 was due to a scheduled five-day |
||||||
|
power outage experienced in early November 2006 when the power grid in the Ningjin area |
||||||
|
underwent an overhaul. |
||||||
|
Average selling price |
||||||
|
. Average selling price continued to decline in November 2006. Since September 2006, at the |
||||||
|
request of customers in China, agreed to terminate or amend the terms of some of the long-term |
||||||
|
customer contracts. |
||||||
|
Nine months ended Sept 30, 2006 |
||||||
|
Revenues |
||||||
|
. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, sales to the three largest customers accounted for |
||||||
|
approximately 47% of total revenues (two of which were related parties until August 2006, and |
||||||
|
sales to them accounted for approximately 35% of total revenues), and sales to the largest |
||||||
|
customer, a related party until August 2006, accounted for 23% of total revenues. |
||||||
|
Production & sales |
||||||
|
. Since commenced commercial production in April 2006, attempted to expand and diversify the |
||||||
|
customer base, which has increased from a total of ten customers as of June 30, 2006 to 36 |
||||||
|
customers as of September 30, 2006, and to approximately 50 customers as of December 31, 2006. |
||||||
|
. In addition, while direct sales to overseas customers only accounted for 1.3% of total sales |
||||||
|
revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, have sold products to customers in |
||||||
|
Germany, Sweden, Spain, South Korea and the United States. |
||||||
|
. From April 2006 to September 2006, sold a total of approximately 5.2 million pieces of solar |
||||||
|
cells with a total power output of approximately 12.61 MW at an average selling price of RMB |
||||||
|
27.0 (US$3.42) per watt. |
||||||
|
Availability and Price of Silicon Wafers |
||||||
|
Currently has a long-term silicon wafer supply agreement with Jinglong Group, the largest |
||||||
|
producer and supplier of monocrystalline silicon wafers in China. |
||||||
|
Customer Agreements |
||||||
|
. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, 98.7% of total sales revenue was generated |
||||||
|
from sales to customers based in China. During this period, sales to the three largest customers |
||||||
|
represented approximately 47% of total revenues, of which two were related parties until |
||||||
|
August 2006 that represented approximately 35% of total revenues |
||||||
|
. In January 2007, signed the largest long-term customer agreement to date with PowerLight, a |
||||||
|
wholly-owned subsidiary of SunPower Corporation, under which JASO has agreed to supply |
||||||
|
PowerLight with a total of 120 MW of solar cells through the end of 2009. |
||||||
|
. In January 2007, also signed a long-term sales agreement with Crown Renewable Energy, under |
||||||
|
which JASO agreed to supply Crown Renewable Energy with a total of 45 MW of solar cells |
||||||
|
through the end of 2009 |
||||||
|
Competition |
||||||
|
. In the global market, competitors include photovoltaic divisions of large conglomerates, such as |
||||||
|
BP Solar International Inc., Schott AG, Sharp Corporation, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, and |
||||||
|
Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd., specialized cell and module manufacturers such as Motech Industries, |
||||||
|
Inc., E-Ton Solar Tech Co., Ltd. and Q-Cells AG, as well as integrated manufacturers of |
||||||
|
photovoltaic products such as SolarWorld AG. |
||||||
|
. In the Chinese market, competes with Suntech Power Co., Ltd., Nanjing PV-Tech Co., Ltd., |
||||||
|
Solarfun Power Holdings Co., Ltd., Tianwei Yingli New Energy Resources Co., Ltd. and Jiangyin |
||||||
|
Jetion Science & Technology Co., Ltd. |
||||||
|
. Many of competitors are developing or currently producing products based on new solar |
||||||
|
technologies, including amorphous silicon, ribbon and nano technologies. These new technologies |
||||||
|
have certain advantages over the crystalline technologies that JASO currently uses because the |
||||||
|
production process using the new technologies often can be integrated in a shorter and simpler |
||||||
|
process and require less silicon materials for production. |
||||||
|
. As a result, competitors using or developing these new technologies believe these technologies |
||||||
|
will ultimately cost the same as or less than the cost of crystalline technologies similar to JASO's, |
||||||
|
on a cost per watt basis. |
||||||
|
. At present, however, JASO believes its products have higher efficiencies and longer lifetimes |
||||||
|
compared to products produced using these competing technologies |
||||||
|

||||||
|
Products |
||||||
|
. MLNX integrated circuits are added to servers, storage, communications infrastructure |
||||||
|
equipment and embedded systems by either integrating them directly on circuit boards or inserting |
||||||
|
adapter cards into slots on the circuit board. |
||||||
|
. MLNX has established significant expertise with high-performance interconnect solutions from |
||||||
|
successfully developing and implementing multiple generations of our products. |
||||||
|
Building blocks |
||||||
|
. MLNX expertise enables it to develop and deliver products that serve as building blocks for |
||||||
|
creating reliable and scalable InfiniBand and Ethernet solutions with leading performance at |
||||||
|
significantly lower cost than products based on alternative interconnect solutions. |
||||||
|
. Competes with other providers of semiconductor-based high performance interconnect products |
||||||
|
based on InfiniBand, Ethernet, Fibre Channel and proprietary technologies. |
||||||
|
Customers & product shipments |
||||||
|
. Are incorporated into servers produced by the five largest server vendors: IBM, Hewlett-Packard, |
||||||
|
Dell, Sun Microsystems and Fujitsu-Siemens. |
||||||
|
. These server vendors collectively shipped the majority of servers in 2005, according to the |
||||||
|
industry research firm IDC. |
||||||
|
. Also supplies leading storage and communications infrastructure equipment vendors such as |
||||||
|
Cisco Systems, LSI Logic, Network Appliance, SilverStorm Technologies, which was recently |
||||||
|

Comparison of Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006 |
||||||
|
to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005 |
||||||
|
Revenues |
||||||
|
. Revenues were $32.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $29.9 |
||||||
|
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, representing an increase of approximately |
||||||
|
9%. |
||||||
|
. This increase in revenues resulted primarily from increased unit sales of approximately 28%, |
||||||
|
driven by broader adoption of InfiniBand and MLNX's products, offset by a decrease in average |
||||||
|
sales prices of 14%. |
||||||
|
. A portion of the decrease in average sales prices was due to the decline from 9% to 2% in the |
||||||
|
percentage of revenues attributable to switch systems, which have significantly higher sales prices. |
||||||
|
. In addition, Cisco, one of MLNX's largest customers that represented 15% of revenues in the |
||||||
|
nine months ended September 30, 2006, represented 49% of revenues in the nine months ended |
||||||
|
September 30, 2005. |
||||||
|
. A portion of this percentage decline was attributable to an accumulation of inventory in 2005 by |
||||||
|
Cisco following its acquisition of Topspin Communications, which MLNX believes has been |
||||||
|
substantially sold in 2005 and 2006. |
||||||
|
. MLNX expect Cisco to remain one of its largest customers for the year ended December 31, '06 |
||||||
|
Gross Profit and Gross Margin. |
||||||
|
. Gross profit was $23.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $18.6 |
||||||
|
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, representing an increase of 24%. |
||||||
|
. As a percentage of revenues, gross margin increased to 71% in the nine months ended September |
||||||
|
30, 2006 from 62% in the nine months ended September 30, 2005. |
||||||
|
. This increase in gross margin was primarily due to a reduction in production costs associated |
||||||
|
with outsourced labor, raw materials and volume discounts and reduced warranty expenses related |
||||||
|
to selected product introductions. |
||||||
|
. In addition, part of the gross margin improvement was due to increased sales of next generation |
||||||
|
products for which MLNX receives higher margins. |
||||||
|
Intellectual property |
||||||
|
. As of September 30, 2006, had 10 issued patents and 27 patent applications pending in the U.S., |
||||||
|
5 issued patents in Taiwan and 6 applications pending in Israel, each of which covers aspects of |
||||||
|
the technology in MLNX's products. |
||||||
|
