Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About

We are exposed to a variety of risks, including

changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and inflation.

As of June 30, 2020, we had $8.3 million

in cash and cash equivalents, $38 million in short-term bank deposits and restricted deposits and $12.7 million in long-term bank

deposits and restricted deposits.

We adhere to an investment policy set by

our investment committee, which aims to preserve our financial assets, maintain adequate liquidity and maximize return while minimizing

exposure to the NIS.

Such policy further provides that we should hold most of our current assets in bank deposits and the remainder

of our current assets should be invested in low risk instruments.

As of June 30, 2020, the currency of our financial portfolio

is mainly in U.S.

dollars and we use options contracts in order to hedge our exposures to currencies other than the U.S.

Interest Rate Risk

We invest a major portion of our cash surplus

in bank deposits in banks in Israel.

Since the bank deposits typically carry fixed interest rates, financial income over the holding

period is not sensitive to changes in interest rates.

However, our interest gains from future deposits may decline in the future

as a result of changes in the financial markets.

In any event, given the historic low levels of the interest rate, we estimate

that a further decline in the interest rate we are receiving will not result in a material adverse effect to our business.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk and Inflation

A significant portion of our expenditures,

including salaries, materials, consultants’

fees and facility expenses relate to our operations in Israel.

The cost of those

Israeli operations, as expressed in U.S.

dollars, is influenced by the extent to which any increase in the rate of inflation in

Israel is not offset (or is offset on a lagging basis) by a devaluation of the NIS in relation to the U.S.
